Jasper is doing High Five!!!

Congratulations Jasper!

Fourth <5-minute session. Not perfect, this is still mostly a grab and not a tap, and his attention is largely on the food and not me, but it's pretty damn good! And look how many times he does it!

one thing i find funny about everyone headcanon-ing Drag as high maintenance and having refined taste, is you know that man has done and would do anything to survive. He might not love it but he would. So when he's acting particular and hard to please he's 100% doing it by choice, on purpose, he knows he can, and he likes to do it

Aww, it thinks it's the alpha? My dear, I don't need you to have anything in your brain besides me. The way my eyes stare into yours and hold you in place, pleading. The way my hand feels when I cover your mouth as you try to speak out of turn. The way my voice sounds whispering nasty things in your ear. Nothing matters except me. I'll grab at your tits and tug on your nipples just to hear you squeak. I'll run my fingers through your hair only to yank it to make you look at me some more. I'll sink my teeth into your ribs so I can mark you for anyone else to see. You can have the power back later but for now, needy little things like you need to just stop thinking and instead start letting themselves enjoy being used. 💖

🤭 you're very cute. you did an excellent job teasing me last night, but the number one rule in my house is we respect my title. I don't think, I know I am the Alpha here. I let you tease me and treat me this way when I choose, and I can take that power back whenever I want, because-- look at me. I am, always, even if secretly, in charge. and I know that's the way you and everyone else whimpering around here would like it. I am happy to turn my brain off and just focus on enjoying being used, but you, poor beta thing, you remember whose house you're in. Sweet thing, sweet vicious thing, you may very well be bigger than me. That does not mean I can't get my fingers in there and break that silly brain of yours. you can overpower me physically, but I own you. you're mine to allow to act that way. best remember that.

the Wolfmother is awake, and my teeth ache for meat.

remember commander cold's flashback about elongated maniac? the hostage situation in 25th century and all?

so. i want to ask a little question to that. WHERE WAS THAWNE AT THIS MOMENT AND WHAT POINT OF HIS TIMELINE WAS IT. his whole 25th Century Flash deal was making up endangering people situations for him to avert because nothing ever happened in 25th century. WHEN DID THAT OCCUR. and boi do i have Theories:

thawne is dead at the moment, as usual

thawne is alive but it happens at the same time as his prison sentence for endangering civilians or hes unaware and finds out when everything's over or has his speed dampened after the release.

thawne is alive but completely unaware and/or doesnt give a fuck because he's obsessing over barry and how to ruin his life 23/7 (1 for the flash museum maintenance and other curator stuff). if he's aware he's not coming on purpose because the city+cops didnt appreciate him enough as the Flash Of 25th Century.

thawne is alive, aware and lets shit go down on purpose or even arranges it personally following hunter's long term Plan he averted his disability for, which at some point includes creating the renegades for shits and giggles (most likely one as it actually fits the approximate 25th century timeline)

thawne fucking LIES when talking about nothing ever happening in 25th century in the first place and stuff like that occurs every 2-3 months which is yeah, pretty rare and peaceful compared to 21st century but still not nothing. he waited for something to happen for like a day or less after becoming a speedster and then went WELP. IMA NEED TO CREATE CRIMES MYSELF THEN. SUCH A SHAME THERE ISNT A SINGLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION IN THIS DAMN TIME.

in continuation: thawne is alive but completely unaware as hes busy setting up the accidents to pose in front of as the Flash Of 25th Century like 4 blocks away from the hostage situation.

@nihillist-blog I am still losing my mind over this screencap you got. I zoomed it in because I’m so obsessed with it. I am eternally grateful to you

[fortune-maiden]

No no, don't spare me the 700 words of character rambling. I want to read it. Please?

IF YOU INSIST ANON =D

(admittedly it's closer to 600 words now after editing lol)

(this is partly cyrano au stuff, partly general character ramblings)

OK SO JING WEN.

In canon we don’t really know too much about his motives towards Ling Wen other than he wants to wear her down and destroy her reputation, and this stems from her showing him up in an essay contest. From the revision, we can also add plagiarism to his sins – he knows Ling Wen is more talented than him and despises her for it, especially because she’s a woman. (Although I think her lack of scholarly background also heavily plays into it. She isn't a woman from a family of scholarly officials. She's a shoeseller who writes letters on the side to make ends meet.)

For the Cyrano (but not really Cyrano) AU, I’ve added a layer of lust and entitlement towards his feelings for Ling Wen. He was the one who discovered her! He rescued her from a life in prison and made her a junior heavenly official! People remember her name and her story because of him! He’s her hero!

And he thinks that it’s about time she acts like it! Ling Wen wants to keep her head down and avoid him as much as possible. Do whatever job he wants from her and hope it keeps him in a good enough mood to leave her alone. Except Jing Wen wants to reduce her to the girl who was saved by him and devotes herself to him in return. It drives him crazy that she does not, and would even dare to get close to other men (PM & SWD) when she treats him (him!) with barely concealed contempt. He discovered her! She was no one before him and he is the only one who can have her! (and her talents!)

This is meant to contrast this AU’s Shi Wudu who also discovers her hidden talent when he exposes Jing Wen's plagiarism (mostly by accident) and immediately falls for her brain and wants to see what she can do with it when she isn’t tied down by Jing Wen and his ego. He finds her interesting, a match for himself (one of two people he’ll acknowledge as such), and rather than save her, he wants to give her the tools she needs to save herself because it’s much more fun for him that way. (This is also the real reason Bai Jing is not in this AU, because he treats Ling Wen with genuine kindness and doesn’t have any kind of pedestal or expectations in return and I think given everything she has been through at that point, that genuineness would be more attractive to Ling Wen over someone who wants to make a girlboss out of her. If there’s no BJ to compare against, I think LW would be a little more receptive to SWD’s feelings.) (Although both are interesting to think about.) (Also on a sidenote, even in AUs where he isn’t explicitly in love with her like this one, my SWD always ends up a bit of a dogged nice guy towards LW, ready to do anything she asks. This is partly because she helped him with the fate swap, and partly because he REALLY values her friendship. There’s a bit of a second-love aspect to their relationship from Ling Wen’s side because she knows SWD feelings towards her but it’s not the same love that BJ made her feel.)

And also because I just like talking about him, Jing Wen’s possessiveness and refusal to be shown up by a woman also kinda contrasts Pei Ming a bit, since he’s also a traditionalist and believes the guy should save the girl (and would be pushing SWD in that direction in his pseudo-cyrano role), but he’s also capable of acknowledging that if that doesn’t win her love, it doesn’t win her love (not that that’s ever been an issue for him personally) – and if a woman shows you up, the solution is to Do Better and show off properly to her later (this is him with the Rain Master. Anytime she gets the better of him, he sulks for a bit and then sets out to show her how cool he actually is. He wants her acknowledgment!)

that little negative traits meme had me thinking in depth about certain details concerning nik. most expansively of which: how he isn't intimidating at all. beyond physical characteristics, human appearance, stature and what have you (and obviously he often tends to be less built than most folks who want to fight him). he also simply makes no effort whatsoever to announce his power or influence. in fact, he adores playing the opposite. he has no threat display, no deimatic behaviour. those are for animals who want no trouble and care to warn you of it. he, on the other hand, is just itching to let you try. threats are a warning shot. he makes none.
