Kung Lao Headcanons (SFW & NSFW)

A/N: I love kung lao so much im gonna explode. i hope i did him justice cuz hes been my fav since mk9

SFW:

Talks/brags about you a lot whenever he hangs out with Raiden and friends. Johnny has to cut him off every time just so they can get him to talk about anything else.

Refuses to eat out now that he's met you. "Why do we have to waste money on restaurants when your food is soo much better?". You're totally welcomed to slap some sense into him.

Tells you he doesn't like when you touch his hat, but secretly loves seeing you wear it. Whether it's because he finds it funny how much bigger it is on you or because he loves that you admire his weapon choice.

Will purposely go shirtless while sparing if you're visiting him at the Wu Shi. Swears it's not because of you but Raiden and literally everyone else says otherwise. (Not that you're complaining)

Loves the beach. Owns a surfboard but no longer knows how to use it (Surfed when he was younger but now the Wu Shi takes up too much of his time)

ADORES when you dress up for him. The fact that you were thinking about him while picking out a hot outfit? He's getting down on one knee as we speak.

Shamelessly checks you out. Everywhere, at any time. I don't fully believe he even knows what shame is.

Would pay for you to become his personal hair massager. The feeling of your nails on his scalp, the little kisses you leave on his head every now and then, loves everything about it. Quickest way to get him to sleep.

Heavy sleeper. Like HEAVY heavy, scares the crap out of you 8 times out of 10.

"Babe, the ice cream truck is here" *sigh* "Fine go get my purse"

NSFW:

The type of dude to say he doesn't like condoms cause they're "too tight". Will wear one if you ask him to regardless.

He sweats a lot during it. Its almost as impressive as it is incredibly hot.

Has the stamina of a horse. Round 2? No, round 47 baby buckle up.

Doesn't think to deep about positions, but if he had to pick favorites it would be either doggy style or cowgirl.

You thought he was cocky normally? You haven't seen nothing yet. This guy will tease you so much it will probably be your cause of death.

DO NOT wear his clothes around him. It drives him absolutely nuts and unless you want to forget how to walk, choose your battles wisely.

(IN MY OPINION) Is not a fan of toys. Especially dildos, no silicone replacements around here partner, he wants to be the only one for you.

Is down for practically whatever as long as he gets to fuck. Whenever, wherever, doesn't matter, just say the word and he's in.

Marks you up literally everywhere. Especially in all the annoying, hard to cover up places. Gets a surge of pride whenever you give up on trying to cover up a hickey of his and just end up going out as is.

A/N: Thats it!! Again, feedback is always appreciated! Also about the surfing thing... I had a random thought about it and now its consumed me. Will definitely explore it in the future ;)

[proudproship]

That FnF thing is still driving me fucking nuts because like?? The day all that drama dropped alot of blogs were like "erm I don't wanna support the game anymore because the creator jacks it to loli >:( I'm gonna stop posting" and like a week later shit was back to normal and they're posting like nothing happened.

Like all their little pissy fit did was delay the update of a game they liked. And these MFS have the audacity to complain and wonder when the new update is gonna be. Like holy fucking shit.

Yeah lmao

But they're all small children who don't seem to understand that adults with jobs have real emotions.

I'm pretty sure they were serious about the "NPCs" and the "main character" stuff on TikTok... /hj

And I've said it before and I'll say it again: when you lose in the game you can see the guy's balls!!! This character that looks 2 years old!!! When you lose you see his blue nutsack !!! But antis never thought about that somehow because no one called it shota lmao

I swear you could have loli and an anti wouldn't be mad as long as nobody said it was loli. All it is is buzzwords to them. The content doesn't matter, it's the buzzwords.

Hi Maven!! Same q to everyone this week: what are your top 3 wincest episodes, and why?

ok im gonna cheat and do this in 2 ways hehe

a) top 3 sam/dean episodes

3. A Very Supernatural Christmas: has the samulet (their engagement ring, obviously!), you can palpably feel the isolation, the neglect, it's very two-children-in-a-motel-esque. and of course, the final scene, where i think, if there was any point in the series aside from the barn scene in which they would have said "i love you," it would have been there. the deep long stare, the watery eyes, the fact that they both know dean will be gone within the year, and then... "do you feel like watching the game?" ahhhhhhh drives me nuts

2. Swan Song: their love literally!!!!! saves the world, i mean come on. it has the whole wincest montage that you could literally set a richard siken poem to, or a taylor swift song to (look i know those are vastly different things but. bear with me), and it would just feel right. dean finally lets sam do things on his own. he lives because sam tells him to. sam manages to revoke his possession consent because of how much he's in love with dean, even as his fist is smashing dean's face into a pulp. ok i have to stop or i'm going to start crying in this goddamn airport.

Playthings: obviously. gothic horror episode of all time. picture-perfect family in the outside, secret sibling hidden upstairs. the way sam and dean's codependency is paired with that of the grandmother and her ghostly sister. the face-stroking. the almost kiss. god i swear it always looks like they're gonna kiss. sam writhing on the bed. dean staring at him like that. the subtext was about to bust through the screen, what with the acting and the way the plot and the meta-plot fit together perfectly. catherine tosenberger said it much better than i can, go read her article in TWC about wincest if you haven't!

b) top 3 family-horror-what-the-incestuous-freudian-fuck-is-going-on-here episodes

2. Devil's Trap: azazel uses john's body in a sexual manner against both sam and dean--primarily the latter but sam gets it, too. it's a chilling scene and really cements that this is what spn is about: never being able to escape the family. sam learns partly of azazel's plot, dean gets his daddy issues flayed onto him, and all through the eyes of the father. it's so well done.

3. Skin: imo the most damning thing the shifter says is, "i will be sorry to lose this skin. your brother's got a lot of great qualities. you should appreciate him more than you do." uh...what? the way he ties up sam and plans on torturing him also aligns with the shifter's pattern of turning into the husband and beating up the wife. another HMM moment actually comes from dean himself, when he tells sam that none of his friends will ever understand him and that dean's the only one who can...it's very isolating, kind of abuser tactics, and just. whew. this was episode SIX!!

In the Beginning: come on you knew i was gonna say this. aside from the obvious moments of "mom is a babe" (and remember, dean invokes sam into this moment as well..."sammy, wherever you are..."), samuel!azazel leaning over dean and smelling him, and samuel!azazel kissing mary--passionately returned(?), may i add, the plot itself sets up the winchester family as this enclosed, inbred unit. mary's kiss with her possessed father seal's sam's fate as part of azazel's army. the sexuality she shares with her father makes her son's blood diseased and cursed. the family line is tainted by incest. her kiss is what allows sam and dean to grow up that way, to become so codependent, what allows the moments of avsc, swan song, and playthings to happen! in the beginning. this begins the cycle of selling and saving souls--mary for john, john for dean, dean for sam. it's literally THEE spn episode, perhaps even more than playthings. even though sam's barely in it, his fate hangs over the whole episode, and this is full house of wincest at its finest.

Arkansas headcanons bc I love him

When Arkansas gets really mad, big sharp diamond spikes form on his neck, back and a little on his elbows (neck ones are small, back ones are big, elbow ones are teeny). they have a red tint and are a mix of see-through clear and black. His bottom canines get a bit bigger and protrude more. Ears are pointy (elf ears) and he loves putting earrings on them. His ears are always decked out in earrings he's made (jewelry maker Arkansas the beloved) and he keeps the first ever earrings he's ever made in his ears 24/7 and refuses to take them out (unless he's cleaning his ears or his jewelry.) Hairs a spiky fluffy mullet that barely touches his shoulders. The shaved part next to his ears a bit outgrown. Hair is a mix of reds, browns, and blacks that fade into each other Occasionally has a small black and red tufted tail that curls, though he doesn't like it much since the other states make fun of him for it and call him "Piggy." (tail, spikes, teeth, etc are based off of the Razorbacks logo and are used in my Cryptid State forms. he is not walking around all day everyday looking like that ((unless he idk wants to)). ears don't count, they're always pointy.) Scars, cuts, bruises, scratches, etc everywhere. Has a huge scar down his left leg (starts near his knee, ends at his foot. on the back of his leg). Hands are always rough and calloused from how much he always uses his hands. Slept on his legs wrong and now he has a bit of a limp, one leg a bit more noticeable then the other and hurts occasionally. (I'm not projecting) Has a bunch of scratches around his pelvis area and on his hips

Always looks mad (even tho he kinda is mad a good portion of the day). Dude has a resting bitch face (same). He could be having the time of his life and people would think he's pissed (sometimes it's a little upsetting having to explain that no, he ain't mad, he just looks it.) Though he ain't upset about it. Don't think about him, talk to him, or even look at him and he'll be good. This man lives outside he actually would rather sleep in the leaves in the forest then go back to the statehouse. When he's at his own home in the woods he'll sleep outside a lot as well, but he also likes going back to the quietness of his cabin, cooking a nice meal on his stove (instead of the makeshift campfires he makes when he's too busy in the middle of one of his many 1000 projects and is deciding to sleep outside), and sleeping on his couch or in his bed. he eats, sleeps, and breathes nature, okay? (me) he ain't the Natural State for nothin I have dyscalculia so now he has dyscalculia. I mean it's only fair Will bury your body in the woods if you mispronounce his name. I swear to god he will oh my god he actually goes insane its like nails on a chalkboard its so fucking annoying its Ar-Kan-Saw not fucking "Ar-Kansas" or "Ar-kan-SAS-" like it actually drives him nuts you will never be seen again OH MY GOD- (sorry, might've gotten a bit caught up there in my own feelings.)

Wyoming/Montana/Arkansas headcanons

Got sat next to each other once in a meeting and ended up going to a bar after a rough time, now are inseparable. Didn't really talk to each other much, especially Arkansas with his "leave me tf alone" glare and aura, but secretly admired each other because they could relate to one another. Love to just sit in a room or outside, not talking to each other, and doing their own thing. They are very much introverts/have introvert characteristics and prefer the quiet. Montana kinda found out he had feelings for both of them, but didn't realize it was romantic feelings for a while. (Dude hasn't dated in a long time) Wyoming and Montana "got together" first (moreso them realizing they were in love with each other but not sure how to go about it, also not sure about what to do about their feelings Arkansas) Arkansas was not sure how to feel about the whole crush thing since one, he'd never been in a poly relationship before, and two, he hadn't dated many (if any) men in the past. (not even women really. he had his dog, cat, and woods to keep him company. not saying he wasn't lonely but he doesn't date much.) Took him a long time to even confess he liked them back. (He knew he liked them but figuring out if it was romantic or not was a struggle.) Took them months to get into a qpr as a way to test the waters before it later turned into a romantic relationship. Relationships are hard. (all of these fuckers are on the aromantic spectrum idgaf. projecting onto Arkansas like a bitch lol) Still considering on moving in with each other (they like their quiet space but also enjoy having each other around. While moving in together sounds nice, they still aren't sure yet since they don't know if their ready for that type of change. Besides, figuring out whos state they want to live in and all of that is a lotta work.) so they switch between each other's houses a lot. Some days they're staying the night at Montana's, other times they're riding horses in Wyoming's or relaxing in Arkansas. Bond a lot over shared interests such as farming, cowboys, sports, outdoor activities, etc and can ramble about it for hours.

We can just ignore how late this is (totally wasn't supposed to do this weeks ago. life gets in the way too much sometimes.) Anyways, I love them and don't think about them enough. Though I do need to do more research on Wyoming and Montana since i'm not from those states, nor do I know much about them besides knowing Wyoming's the cowboy state and where he is on a map. (proud being able to point at all states on a map, though that's what this fandom does to you lmao.) Sorry if I got anything wrong on Wyoming and Montana (can you tell by the lack of stuff on them that I don't know those two well?)

Your "Where Is My Shidi?" AU is driving me nuts I swear. As soon as I have all my thoughts in order I'm dropping another long comment/reblog. That said I wonder at that last sentence, did omega JC die in childbirth or something? Why would LXC take him to bed? I'm not sure JC's body can take a knot. I was kinda thinking of Omega!JC topping JC while he tops Alpha!LXC.

Oh god the pups! (please let them be triplets) but also if Omega!JC is dead then they're gonna start crying real bad. Or maybe they never met him? Daddy issues activate. I'll think more about this later for sure.

Hehe

Sorry, it was a bit confusing there at the end.

I meant that the OG!JC was thinking that in this verse at leas it was Lan Zhan who wanted to fuck his clone xD In every other verse stuff was weirdly intense between him JC and WWX, and OG!JC thought it was a weird and it kept giving him conniptions (out of disgust, of course, nothing else) and made him feel woozy.

When he looks at the pair in front of him - it's still strange, he was never attracted to Lan Xichen...well not more than everyone else... but it looks nice. Homey. Warm. It's clear they are a happy couple, supporting each other, caring. They have four kids (don't honk about it, don't think about it) that are obviously loved and happy. Omega!JC is still himself - he's still snappy and serious, and has no patience for fools, he's not soft at all...but he's happy. Settled. Content.

And this Lan Xichen is also still essentially himself - just a bit less serious, his smiles are real this time, not politely absent. And every time he looks at his Jiang Cheng, his eyes grow so soft... He's a good husband, and a good father.

And the only thing missing from this world is Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian that died in the Sunshot, that won the war only to be killed by Wen Ruohan before Meng Yao sacrificed himself to take the man down (it explains a lot and it doesn't explain enough)... It's a loss that Jiang Cheng feels under his skin.

There's no Wen Ning in this world. No Lan Sizhui. Jin ling has his parents here, but doesn't have his friends... But Yanli is alive here.

That's what it took? For the world to settle after the war, for Jiang Cheng to find happiness and family?

All it took was Wei Wuxian dying and never coming back.

He doesn know how to deal with it. How to take it (Especially that the world where Jiang Cheng died instead is a world of ruin) He can't... He just can't....

The ui update on the dashboard is driving me nuts. Somebody has to have faked it and maked it in that department or something similar.

The only thing good is they made the icons bigger again but now they put who you reblogged from to the side which due to the varying size of usernames is inconsistent and sometimes loops back around to having another text layer anyway, thus making information that much slightly slower to absorb for no reason.

It sometimes won't even say who you reblogged from because I guess they just thought it was "redundant" information and all modern ui runs on shitty minimalism I guess, so when you reblog from yourself or the person immediately under you in the comments it just won't show and again make it slightly that much slower and more confusing to acquire basic information.

The icons they made bigger again I fucking swear aren't even a consistent size because I swear the icon of the main poster or reblogger or whatever is smaller than all the icons that come under the same post, and those lower icons have lower resolutions than the top one for some fucking reason, and also I've seen one with a pointed border instead of a curved one at one point?

Also those ugly ass badges are gigantic now for some reason which for some reason I don't think they plan on fixing. Also they seem to cut off sometimes cause they're so big, like they're literally bigger than the icons.

It doesn't take a web designer to know that this is some ui clownery.

Random hopes for FFXIV Dawntrail in no particular order from a person who's currently about to start the title quest Endwalker (so don't spoil the dungeon/fights and any post EW content)

New playable species outside of female Hrothgar; specifically another animalistic species similar to Miqo'te/Viera in that they're much more humanoid with animal features rather than anthropomorphic animals (like Hrothgar.) Biggest hopes are for a bird like race (similar to Meteion, I love harpies so much and while I know she's a familiar it would be cool to see a playable species based on her) or fish people (similar to Dungeons and Dragons Tritons, again I love mermaids and fish-like people so much.)

Random and small, I'd like to see canonical ages established within the game, maybe with like nameday celebrations of some kind for some characters. It would be so cute to have a birthday party for Alisaie and Alphinaud, I would die for those little dweebs and they're still technically kids and you KNOW their mom would go nuts for a celebration for them. I know there's been canon age mentions in additional content like books and such but ingame would be nice.

Viera hats for the love of God. I'm not a 3D artist and idk the process but it can't be that hard can it?? I know there's a whole design aspect involved bc Big Ol Ears but like. Square Enix is a huge company, surely they can allocate some resources to actually make clothing appear on an entire very popular race. If it's more complicated than I know then forgive me 3D artists, I love what y'all do I'm just uneducated on it 💛

Random as hell again and probably more suited towards an update than a new expansion but. I'd really like them to sorta retcon (is that the right word? Idk it's 3:20 am and I cant sleep) primal weapons so all primals have weapons for all classes. I'd kill for an ice scythe from the Extreme Shiva battle from HW or a pair of Leviathan Chakrams for my Dancer. I know that levelling is an issue but if they were, say, available via trading totems from the fight and synced to their class's lowest level I'd think that could work. Idk as someone who loves primal themed glams but mains Dancer and Reaper it drives me bananas that it's so limited.

A new Important female character that Doesn't Fucking Die or is somehow written off in the same pack for the love of God I swear they disproportionately kill off/write off female characters (I miss Moenbryda and Ysayle every day)

More romantic emotes/activities outside of the ceremony of eternal bonding! Not only is my partner very busy and we often have little FFXIV dates rather than in person things, I'm in a polycule and by the time I started playing my partner was already married ingame to my metamor (my partner's other partner) so I'm locked out of some emotes like the embrace emote while they aren't and it kinda sucks. It would be nice to be able to be romantic with them outside of /blowkiss and /hug and to be able to do couples content outside of the ceremony of eternal bonding. Maybe just a me problem though.

Un-gender all clothing items. I want my male character to wear a craftable bikini top goddamnit, it's fun. Plus it's a beachy-themed expansion afaik so it would make sense to un-gender the bathing suits

Speaking of craftable bikini tops, more craftable clothing for glams and not just combat!!! Cute bathing suits and the such that are level 1 and meant exclusively for glams would be amazing. We have a few already but with the upcoming theme being seemingly being beaches it seems appropriate.

Longer hairstyles. Clipping be damned my miqo'te would rock a long hair look (and his braid, which is the same hairstyle as Fourchenault's, already clips into every top ever so like. C'mon)

Number 1 on this list is the new species being humanoid with animal features. I eat that shit up with a spoon. I love making OCs and a new alt devoted to a species I like is absolutely in the books. Already have done it twice lol.

Improve Aurum Vale for the love of God that dungeon is a nightmare and it's like one of three that ever shows up on rouls on Dynamis

Anyways if any of this bothers you for any reason please just scroll by, these are my middle of the night daydreams when I can't sleep of things that I personally would enjoy in the game, I know my ideas don't apply to everyone and all of them wouldn't really make sense for one reason or another but it's fun to write them down and put them out into the world. And obviously this post isnt gonna make a difference in the game itself, I'm just a rando on Tumblr lol. Thank you <3

With the new fall season coming, my thoughts on the three Summer 2023 anime series I watched this year:

My Tiny Senpai: Loved loved loved this series. I came into it hoping to just get some lighthearted romantic fluff and came out of it getting even more than that even. Shiori was an angel and needs to be protected.

My two types of girls are tsunderes and fail girls and this series managed to give me two girls that are combinations of both in their own ways. Shinozaki's Sister and Hayakawa completely own my heart now.

The discourse surrounding the trailer was incredibly fucking stupid even when it was directly happening and as this series went along it really made it look even dumber in hindsight than it did before. If you don't like to watch move slowly this series will drive you nuts, and in episode 9 it makes a big decision that even had me raising an eyebrow and groaning a little bit before accepting that it wasn't going to be permanent (and I was right, thankfully). As someone who doesn't mind slow burn romance, especially when there's no love rival involved (the oldest of hats in any romantic comedy), I really enjoyed it. Lots of good, goofy comedy and two main protagonists you really do find yourself rooting for. Definitely worth a watch if you just want to see lighthearted office fluff.

The Dreaming Boy is a Realist: Man. I almost dropped this one. It really was getting there. This is one where it just doesn't just calm down. It throws like fifteen different characters at you and expects you to know and remember them right away and honestly the first few episodes of this show were insanely hard to follow, let alone the clunky, confusing script and dialogue.

The first few episodes were so overwhelming and the amount of times I had to pause to look up a character they'd mention by name that you only saw for a minute or two in a previous episode so you can be like "ah, that's who they're talking about. I remember them, I think? Maybe?" It kept getting worse and worse about this and I kept getting extremely close to dropping it before I'd give it one more chance mostly because some of the character designs are extremely cute. Even that wasn't saving the series though.

However, then it did something I completely wasn't expecting: it slowly got better. Slowly but surely, episode after episode, it started to breathe a little more and characters finally got fleshed out in the proper ways and you know what? I'm not going to say it became a good series, but it definitely very slowly improved and they even stuck the landing on the ending.

Was it too little too late? Maybe. It's such a bummer because by all accounts this seems like *such* a neat idea for a series (boy is so smothering to the girl that he likes (who doesn't like him back) that he finally has an epiphany that he's been stunting her and keeping her from making friends because they're all too weirded out by him hovering around her, and also realizing he'll never have a chance with her so he backs off (letting her finally grow and gain friends herself) and slowly gains major self-improvement to the point where he earns respect in places he'd have never expected and he becomes the person people come to for advice and he just becomes a better person overall while also slowly repairing his relationship with the girl) and from what I've heard the manga and the light novels are just so much better. They do an inner voice-monologue thing with the main boy that serves as him giving himself teaching lessons and advice that the anime FINALLY begins to explore near the end and if they had been doing that from the beginning they really would've had something.

Honestly the more I watched the more it made me want to read the light novel and manga because everyone swears up and down they're both miles better than the anime was. It just felt like the anime series didn't feel like it had enough time to properly convey all of the stories it wanted to share so they crammed a LOT into 12 episodes and gave nothing any room to breathe.

What this series has most going for it are some of the character designs. Rin is the exact type of girl, right down to personality, that I had a crush on all the time in high school, and Kei isn't too far behind. And of course Aika makes enough of those grumpy puffy tsundere faces that you understand why Wataru (WHY WAS HIS SISTER SO HOT THOUGH) had such a big crush on her, even if it led to him being so overbearing about it.

I would say you're probably fine passing on this one, but maybe give the light novel or manga a shot. I didn't hate it like I was expecting to but your mileage will vary. This one REALLY went out of its way to try and get better and it almost made it, to the point where I'm thumbs in the middle rather than down.

The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses: I figured this was gonna be the one that I most loved from the getgo, and honestly? It's a tough tie between it and My Tiny Senpai, but this might have the edge because it's the only one whose sweetness got me tearing up on multiple occasions, especially in the final episode, and it's all because Mie is one of the cutest dorkiest sweetheart girls on the planet. This series was the one that I went out of my way to zoom to where the manga currently is so I could follow along.

The biggest complaint I heard about this series was how it felt like she was constantly losing her glasses. I felt like I was going crazy because I felt like I was the only one who understood what they were going for. They aren't going to do entire episodes where she doesn't forget her glasses. They even mention, multiple times in multiple different episode, how it's been awhile since she last lost them. The entire point of the series is how Komura is getting closer to closer to Mie from the time they spend together when he takes care of her after she forgets, or breaks, her glasses. At about the halfway point in the series they even show that so much time has passed that they're in a new semester. I dunno, I feel like they were telegraphing this to the point that it should've been obvious, especially for someone who can be legendarily oblivious like myself.

Coming of age romance stories are some of my favorites. Hi Score Girl is a series that I only finally watched in 2023 and it affected me so much that it leaped into one of my five favorite series that I've ever seen. So basically, I knew I was gonna love this one from the premise alone. I will admit the weird art direction, especially in that first episode, drove me absolutely insane, and I was VERY thankful that they mostly knock that shit off pretty quickly afterward, because that almost killed the entire show for me.

Another one where the romance is slow, but it definitely moves at a faster pace than in My Tiny Senpai, and the slow developments really do make you root for the both of them, especially when it finally becomes obvious to Mie that she has feelings for Komura too. Her selfishness about it is completely adorable, and the series ends on such a sweet, high note, leaving you hopeful that these two will finally be able to communicate how they feel for each other, and that a season two would be wonderful.

Also, we need a season two so we can get more of Azuma, who I know as the manga keeps going gets more attention and story. I like how in the series to Komura he is like a rival for Mie's love but then to everyone else it becomes readily apparent that he knows these two have feelings for each other and in his own little ways he tries getting them to spend more time with each other. Between him and Sudo in Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, 2023 should be the year of the cool wingmen.

A definite, and obvious watch recommendation. This one was so sweet, like a much needed hug after a long day.

Ok, I can't keep it vague anymore, Only Up looks like such a fucking asset flip and it drives me nuts that it's blowing up. Just looks like such lazy ragebait, and it eats at me that it's probably making money hand over fist

Like if you like it, go ahead and save yourself the headache of reading my post. You go have fun with it and don't let me ruin it for you, but I just have to complain

Like it seriously screams asset flip with just... the hodgepodge of fucking items randomly going up. I would be shocked, like just dumbfounded if those weren't prebuilt assets they bought

Something like Jump King, I don't care for but can respect cause they clearly put work in to it. Getting over it, I'm not a fucking fan and it annoys me that it got so big, but like... I can at least see that maybe some effort was made while making it

But this... it just looks like such a damn lazy sloppy dumpster fire cash grab... and people are eating it up

I can't get away from it, people I like watching are just eating it up and... boy does it get to me

I'm sorry, I just had to complain. I hate that genre in general, not climbing games, but ones where it feels like the whole reason they're popular is people like watching people fuck up and fall back to the beginning, but of all these kinds of games this one just looks like the fucking lowest quality trash of them all

Like I swear from the brief bit I watched that it's using fucking text to speech

It makes me mad. It makes me lament people's taste, people I like

I just couldn't hold it in anymore. Too many days of seeing it in my fucking feed. I can't. If you like it, keep having fun with it, but if you don't I invite you to join me in shaking your fist in annoyance

Passwords

My SO can be an absolute dipshit when it comes to entering stuff. I know a number of his passwords because he never remembers them, and he refuses to use a password manager. So, I try to come up with passwords that are easy for him to remember, hard for others to guess, and aren't too difficult to type in.

I prefer long-ass random passwords, like 2#gh89t2M5R9!gp8% (No actual passwords are used in this post, obviously).

A password like that would be the kiss of death for the hubs.

But, he has difficulty with even simple passwords, and it drives me nuts, because he SWEARS he's typing everything correctly. The following exchange occurred today:

Hubs: What's my password for (insert app name here). Me: 1980Chevy! Hubs: It's not working Me: Did you type the exclamation mark at the end? Hubs: Yes Me: Try it again Hubs: Not working Me: Type it out for me exactly as you're typing it in the app Hubs: 1980chevy Me: Capital C and an exclamation point at the end! Hubs: I did that! Me: It's 1980Chevy! not 1980chevy Hubs: That's what I typed Me: (rages internally) Type it for me again Hubs: 1990Chevy! Me: No, 1980Chevy! Hubs: THAT'S WHAT I TYPED Me: Read what I typed, and read what you typed. They're not the same. Hubs: YES THEY ARE

Fucking Christ.

Agents of Dio x Reader -- Period Comfort Headcanons! (Part 1)

(the document was too long, and I forgot some Agents, so I divided the post as I went; more explained in the tags!)

Chaka

He’s never really been taught what happens during that certain time of the month, so naturally he’s panicking.

The most he’s learnt about periods are what he’s heard from rumours here and there, but not much else.

He deadass thought that it was just a myth for quite some time.

That is, until one fateful day. . .

He approaches you, his eyes wide with fear as he asks you why there’s blood, his hands shakily pointing to the bathroom.

“Oh, uh, that’s, uh. . . I’m on my period.”

You could almost see a light go off in his head, what with the way he tilts his head up. “Ohhh.”

He remembers the rumours and goes back to panicking.

Chaka begins to tear up, nearly slamming you to his chest in a tight hug as he whimpers something about taking you to a hospital and not wanting you to die yet.

“What??” You push away from him to wipe the tears from his face.

“I’m not gonna die, love.”  “But how?? You’re bleeding out for so many days!”

You draw in a breath. ‘Oh, boy.’ You lead him over to the couch, holding his hand as you give him the lowdown.

He has so many questions but stops himself after a while, not wanting to annoy you.

This becomes apparent when he stares at you, bewildered, whenever you mention certain things to him.

“I thought you couldn’t do that on your period, though. . ?”

You’re happy to answer any questions he has along the way.

He does the best he can to make you feel better, whatever it may be.

Cramps bothering you? The farm can wait, he has to be by your side to take care of you, even though you insist it’s fine.

When all else fails. . .Hugs. Lots and lots of hugs. The warmth of his well-worked, sunbathed arms and the comforting, dusty scent of his clothes never cease to make you smile.

He knows it’s not much, but he brings you a flower each day that you’re on your period, no matter how you’re feeling.

Not even mood swings can push him away from you! He understands what you’re going through and he’ll stick by you, wrapping you in a bear hug or holding your hand.

He’ll give you small, shy kisses.💕

Chaka can and will find a way to get your mind off of it, goddamn it.

If you decide to join him while he’s working he’ll make up stories about the animals to lift your spirits.

“And that’s Gabby, the small and annoying!”   (Credit goes to Shrek)

He takes you along with him whenever he has to go away from home, and he’ll take the time to show you places you might like, or anywhere you’d want to go.

The first time you ask him to get pads for you he’s a nervous wreck – he can’t quite figure out what the difference between all the types of pads is, and he’s too shy to ask for help.

Mistakenly brings you a piece of Styrofoam and you giggle to yourself as you take him back to the pad aisle and show him which ones to get.

At some point he forgets and he buys one pack of each brand just in case. Hey, at least you can save them for next time!

Daniel J. D’Arby

This man will make you feel loved and cherished but simultaneously tease the fuck out of you.

When you ask him to buy you pads he’ll go, but he’ll spend a long-ass time at the store and spam your phone the whole time.

He’ll send you pictures of unnecessary shit and messages like: “Wouldn’t this be a nice decoration?”; “I could use a new set of shoes.”; “I’m gonna treat myself to some fancy chocolates, would you like any?”; “What kind of pads again?”; “Is this a pad?”

On the way home he’ll stop by places just to send you pictures of random buildings with more misleading messages.

(pic of a tuxedo store) “I think I’d look good with a new suit, wouldn’t you?”

Just as you’re starting to actually believe him he walks in through the door, various bags and boxes in hand, “Dear, can you please help me with these?”

“I swear to god, Daniel, you better not have. . .”

Surprise! Every single thing he bought is something he knows you’d like, and he apologizes for taking so long, but he remembered that you mentioned this one particular food and he had to go get it for you.

“Along with some other things.”

He laughs as you lightly smack him with the book he got you.

“You asshole! Don’t make me worry like that again!”

He apologizes once more before asking if you’d care to cuddle with him while you read your new book, or perhaps you’d want to watch that movie you were talking about?

You spend the rest of the afternoon with Daniel’s legs wrapped around you, your back resting against his chest.

If your cramps are bothering you he’ll give you lower-back massages.

However, sometimes he’s kinda bad at dealing with the mood swings.

He can deal with depressive mood swings no problem, but he’s at a loss during angry ones.

The best to do, he figures, is to try to distract you from your anger in the best way he knows how.

“Hey, wanna play some poker??”

APRIL, LISTEN. That mental bond post?

“If you think ‘knit, knit, purl,’ one more time, I’ll stab you with those needles”???

Could I please have knitter Eddie? please??? (I blame @fleurdebeton, she put the thought in my head)

I am so so sorry this took me so long and it's pretty short but I lowkey like how it turned out. Also, I haven't read knitter Eddie but after this I'll have to check it out. Hope you like this! And also you, @fleurdebeton ! <33

prompt from this list ( i added a few in passing just for fun )

There's a voice in everybody's head, and for as long as there have been people speaking, collective wisdom has said that it's the voice of your soulmate. You might grow up with them. You might never meet. You might meet, but find you have nothing in common. But, people say, that person is out there, somewhere.

Eddie has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing — a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch.

When he first met Buck, and when he realized the blonde was his soulmate, well— it was amazing. And they really are soulmates, they slide into their relationship with such ease and such comfort that Eddie couldn't have asked for anything better.

But the mental bond… Eddie will admit sometimes it could get a little annoying. Especially when your soulmate is Evan Buckley.

The amount of times Buck thinks something dumb or annoying a day can be more high than you'd imagine.

When they first moved in together, Buck kept thinking he forgot to lock the door or forgot his keys whenever they got out. "What if–?" “No, Evan, you didn’t forget to lock the door. You can quit fixating on it now.”

Or when Buck hyper-fixates on something. "Buck, I swear– you’ve had that song stuck in your head for days. It’s driving me nuts, too.”

So yeah, it can get a little annoying. But Eddie loves the man, and it's endearing most of the time more than it's annoying anyway.

But what Eddie enjoys the most is when he can get a little revenge, so to say.

They're having a nice quiet evening, with Chris doing homework in his bedroom. Eddie is sitting in his favorite armchair, mosaic knitting. And Buck is reading, sprawled on the couch.

Eddie likes to knit. His Abuela used to knit scarfs, socks, anything you could think of really, for everyone in the family. Even his sisters' dolls. And Eddie would help her sometimes, Abuela having the love and patience to teach a young him how to knit. It's one of Eddie's favorite hobbies.

“Eds, I swear to God— If you think ‘knit, knit, purl,’ one more time, I’ll stab you with those needles.” Buck breaks the silence.

Eddie has to bite down on his lower lip hard, trying not to smile. He ignores his soulmate and keeps knitting, trying not to drop any stitches.

"Eddie!" Buck groans, annoyed. "Seriously, I'm not kidding."

"knit, knit, purl."

He looks up and Buck is frowning at him, his mouth pouting and his arms crossed over his chest. He looks like a toddler having a tantrum. Is hilarious and adorable at the same time.

Yeah, having a Soul Bound can get annoying. But also can be very fucking entertaining, Eddie thinks.

[winepresswrath]

I keep seeing takes that JC and WWX's relationship was always doomed to failure and like. No? Any ONE of the relationships from the massacre of lotus pier to nightless city could have easily been the end of a relationship between two adults who were also significantly better adjusted and had access to therapy. A world where WRH doesn't yearn for world domination is a world of many terrible family dinners but they're still very much a family

It drives me nuts because their story is in fact the story of overcoming so many obstacles with the power of love until they careen face first into Yanli's death. Wei Wuxian fucks off to the burial mounds and Jiang Cheng is still like "Wei Wuxian, a person who should see my sister in her wedding robes and choose her son's courtesy name." Wei Wuxian kills Jin Zixuan and Jiang Cheng is still refusing to join in with the other sect leaders while they're swearing their oath! Wei Wuxian, overcome with grief, misery and anguish and making a whole bunch of choices he will regret the second he calms down still doesn't attack Yunmeng Jiang! I mean, depending on what version of the story you're going with eventually he gets there but! It takes so much! They try really hard and they love each other a lot, even when they don't know how to show it.

Silverliner Cults and Pet Cars

So this is what happens when @rise-comics and I are left mostly alone in a discord server.

Most of this is canon.

I like to think that the one speaking english is the metroliner cab car

[12:15 AM]and all the acelas speak french just to annoy the rest of the NEC

📷Rise Comics(she/her) — Today at 12:18 AM Buzz(in a Roz voice): I have not a goddamned clue what y’all are saying

📷@Jz1 and all the acelas speak french just to annoy the rest of the NEC 📷Rise Comics(she/her) — Today at 12:19 AM Then they meet the one Charger who sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger

📷@Jz1 Every charger has a different accent, which really does not mesh well with the rest of Amtrak, most of whom were built in Pennsylvania or Indiana and therefore have the blandest accent possible 📷Rise Comics(she/her) — Today at 12:21 AM It’s called variety

[12:22 AM]- The one Long Range Charger, currently drunk off their ass(edited) 📷Jz1 — Today at 12:23 AM It's called One train with four accents. They send a Genesis to pick up the new Chargers and he spends the entire ride home regretting ever making fun of the Acelas because at least they don't speak with an accent jesus christ this isn't in english

[12:23 AM]He gets to beech grove and is visibly twitching
