Bleach babes, what are your favorite openings (+ endings if you know!) ??

[brights-place]

Hiii! so I was wondering if it would be ok to ask for nsfw king trollex headcannons. ( you don't have to do it if it makes you uncomfortable) remember to drink water and stay safe!

-🌹imuridiot🌹

Trollex X NSFW Headcannons

Pairing: Trollex X S/O

Warnings: Lots of Fluff, Mild cursing, MDNI!

A/N: GOD I LOVE THIS TROLL SO MUCH! HE IS SO FUCKING WVEHACUW GAHHH!!

- GOD I LOVE TROLLEX I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I GO FERAL OVER HIM

- OKAY OKAY! LETS START BEFORE I START LIKE AN FERAL DOG AND CAT

- all extremely protective over you. And always so ready to defend you. - When you first start with foreplay he was SO gentle he touches you as if you were a fragile glass next thing you know he is bending you over somewhere grunting loudly

- very touchy whether it’s a little hand hold or a full on thigh grab he needs to have his hands on you at all times your his partner though would start to turn into an flustered mess if you grabbed his waist or thighs - you know how he loves holding your hand or even shows PDA Whenever he's stressed out, he likes knowing that you're there with him, and holding your hand is the perfect way for him to do that he'd do the same even when its sexual

- he puts so much effort into learning how your body reacts to him and his touches until he’s like an fucking expert at taking you apart piece by piece.

- loves kissing you when your sitting on something, weather it be a counter or your bed, he just loves kissing you like that.

- grabs your waist to grind you down onto him/guide your movements

- Trollex and social cues weren't a match... this man would just burst through doors out of nowhere - If he's in his heat he'd go feral grab you put you over his shoulder and taking you to his room telling his fellow techno trolls he's busy - He's def not pulling your hair in your shared bedroom as he makes sure he could hear every single sound you make... - so whenever he'd feel like it he would sneak his arms around you and grab your tits, or sneak his hand up your skirt or down your waistband when he got a peek of your ass or thighs

- It's not as if he can't keep his lips off of you his love language is physical touch - but he typically always gives you at least a peck on the lips or the cheek when you or he enters the room.

- Teases you he would just slowly thrust in and out of you or tease the tip of your member as you beg for him for more and cling to him sobbing

- would chuckle at how you’d thank him for making you feel so good and being lovely

- His favorite positions are probably cowgirl,Reverse Cowgirl, Sixty nine, doggy style, The the slider, and the lean in - What are his turn offs? talking about your ex regularly, Cheating, bad breath, being just an asshole, and Poor hygiene - he loves to be sensual; praise you, kiss you and touch you all over.

- His hand are placed onto your hips as he makes you rock back and fourth you slowly bouncing on him.

- he makes you squirt every single time you guys fuck more than once and he loves it when you squirt on him

- Random ass thought but what if he's dick looks like an rainbow glowstick... Just me? Okay

- He makes sure you feel good no matter what

- Every part of him is rideable but literally when needed he grabs you by your thighs and makes you sit on his face as he giggles excitedly

- Trollex can be slow and soft but also rough and fast when she’s in the mood

- praises will leave his lips as light whimpers escaped as well sometimes degrading words a swell for fun but your the one who mainly praises and degrades him he loves it - He will hold your thighs open so you don't close them whatsoever unless he wants you too he's def an thighs and ass manhe'd kill to have you crush him with your thighs

- he even praises you when ever he's legit going to town

-though it's very muffled, he will talk about how good you taste, how obedient your being, and even how much he loved you in general.

- He'll be riding you and his hands will grip on you shoulders, begging and trying to go deeper to hit his favorite spot as he sounds like he's saying random words

- wants you overstimulated and fucked out he calls it a easy win as he chuckles

- Any choked, quiet sounds that emit from your mouth is a fucking symphony to his ears because he knows you’re too stupid to think of anything else to say while he smiles and praises you for being so good for him while he’s stuffing you with his cum

- When finishing doing the deed he's amazing in after care. Would say how amazing you did while cleaning you up

- he stayed by your side giving you all of the peace and comfort he could give you after doing the deed

[hikari-ni-naritai]

What would be Violet's favorite food and/or snacks? (you can also take this as a prompt for all your girls, if you're feeling up to it)

hmmmm that is a GOOD question.... for a proper meal, i think she'd really like pizza. you can eat pizza clockwise SO easily! its so much harder to eat like, a plate full of disparate items clockwise. theres a lot of precise cutting and if youve got anything that doesnt hold its shape, youre fucked. pizza's round, it's cut already, and you can put basically anything on it! she wouldnt want it greasy though. she needs a dry ass crust. as for snacks... i think violet would really like hard candies. in a perfect world she would have a big jar full of individually wrapped candies and every night she'd sort them by colour. she would have a serious love/hate relationship with the sheer number of flavours that come in red. strawberry, cherry, watermelon, lime, fruit punch. its confusing when youre trying to keep things orderly!

and since u asked.......

hikari - ive said this before but hikari's a massive sweet tooth. her favorite snack is cheesecake with the eorzean equivalent of strawberries. her favorite non-sweet food is .... hmmm.. she's got a taste for fish but i think her favourite is mammoth. they used to hunt them on the steppe before her tribe was killed off and then make skewers with the meat. reminds her of home<3

aoi - aoi likes cappuccino and coffee cake. for a meal, she'll just have a light salad thanks. (she has a lot of cake waiting for her back at home, hikari made it)

lia - food isnt really one of lia's special interests so she doesnt have much in the way of opinions on it. as a general rule, if shes eating out somewhere she'll always try to order something she hasnt tried before. over a thousand years and several universes, she's tried a LOT of things. her current go-to, having exhausted all the options at every diner and tavern in the city after several hundred years of living there, is the 'sandwich of the day'. which is whatever sandwich theyre selling at her favorite tavern. as for a snack, she'll just have tea back at home.

nest - literally anything cooked over a campfire. as snacks, anything sweet cooked over a campfire.

valyrie - valyrie is too pragmatic to really have a favorite but she does relish the times when she gets to eat a fancy expensive dinner in a super high-end place. shes wildly out of place but her outfit makes her look like she fits in if you dont look too closely. as for snacks... is whiskey a snack?

dr marion - what the fuck does this woman eat. hang on let me try to catch this fish for 10 minutes real quick. ok i did not manage to think of anything. i think dr marion focuses so much on proper nutrition that she doesnt actually care what anything tastes like. eating right is the first step to claiming immortality for ourselves in rebellion against god. she doesnt snack.

cassidy - hmmm. cassidy honestly mostly just misses her wife's cooking. frankly, it wasnt very good, she was just the least bad at cooking of the two, but yknow. tasted like home. she made a particularly bad chicken with cranberry sauce dish and they both used to laugh about how bad it was (WAY too sweet for a dinner dish) but she misses it like you wouldnt believe. as for snacks, something salty that you can munch on? like cashews, if she could get her hands on them.

adela - as a shambling corpse, adela doesnt need to eat. when she was alive, she particularly enjoyed butchering the best cow of the town she just conquered and eating it in front of the farmer who raised it (while using his wife as a chair). as a snack, perhaps a tall glass of the blood of her enemies?

elyria - elyria likes street food! anything a guy sells you from a cart is basically perfect. if she can get crepes, thats ideal. yknow they make crepes that arent sweet? i had crepes in baltimore on a field trip in a real french type place. they sold some lovely savoury crepes. as i recall, most of my classmates had like. half of one. but i ended up with two. emily likes food. so anyway, elyria's favorite meal is a meat and veggie crepe, and her favorite snack is a sweeter one with fruits and chocolate and cream.

[not-souleaterpost]

The Y-7 Psychopath - Cowardice or Humility

Don't know if anybody cares about some juvenile "media analysis" from me, but why not, especially on a idea I had in my mind, and finally think it is prudent to put it out there, to see how people feel about it.

So you know western cartoons? And Im not talking about "adult animated sitcoms" or the recent surge of "totally mature and bloody!!!" cartoons that in the end are the same juvenile superhero stuff lol just with exploding heads and awkward animated sex scenes lol.

Yeah, just the standard cartoons that people get really insecure about liking, and make video essays about how "actually it is a masterpiece of mature writting". But instead of me mocking this fact to try to hide my own anxiety over being somebody who makes a fanfic comic, lets go with this

So lets circle back to the title of this "essay" - and start with an example - Everybody loves Zuko from Avatar, I watched the show as a kid, you did, probably kids today do it when all their influencer idols force them too.

Perfect for exploring the point then: And that is the point, people claim how realistic and satisfieng Zuko's arc is, how the redemption is both earned and not without hurdles, not without fallbacks. So where is the issue?

Well I remember sometimes smugly thinking "Well what a coincidence that Zuko never actually on screen killed anyone so he never is really a bad guy...' And this I interpreted to be mostly the case of the rating - basically without the restriction the show would probably include Zuko killing what is at best combatants of the defending side or at worst even civilians. And this would probably kinda derail the arc or leave a bad taste in everybodys mouth...

But the question is left unanswered - is it at the end better, that Zuko gets redemeed in a way that is setup to leave out this elephant out of the room? Hell even I felt kinda weirded out about how nonchalant everyone was about the fact that Zuko hired an assassin, like it was kinda played off for laughs, but maybe that was to show "see we are redeeming him without writting out realistic evils like murder!" - still there is a difference between killing civilians and hiring some copyright free terminator.

So no answer? Well maybe lets look at the opposite case - anime, the cartoons that can kinda go away with showing unscreen murder and atrocities. And to bring it back, lets go with Soul Eater (and no manga spoiler this time cause Im generous and because this would open another can of worms, and I'll save that for the future)

Everybodys favorite charachter that gets reduced to one trait that ironically would be kinda problematic if one really was thinking about it in a certain way - Crona. Also know for killing people who were pointed out to be "not evil enough for it to be ok©®™"

So here we have this charachter, with a whole arc of being abused, having the famous trauma™, doing bad because of a parental figure and wanting to make that figure happy even if its in a twisted way, not getting what real love is...

Basically Im saying Zuko and Crona share a lot of simmilarities looked at this surface level. But only Crona has the problematic aspect of "mass murder". And even I kinda felt it being pushed under the rug no matter how I'll defend Crona from slander on the net while being sick both in body and soul lol.

But here is the thing - atleast I see Crona (atleast in the anime) as mostly some kind of child soldier - I dont think anybody thinks that some african boy that was forced at gunpoint to snort coke and kill his parents while being abused all his life, is "guilty" of the crimes in a way that an adult who does it for a less extreme reason.

Still, even if for me that is mostly justification enough (even if I kinda problematise the whole guilt thing in my comic), I still get it - even if explained it still leaves a bad aftertaste

Like even the most goodhearthed person would probably be weirded out if the person next to them would go "Thank God I was saved, cause till I was 14, I was forced to go from village to village and shoot everyone that moved!". One can say neither person is really at fault yet still it is a sticky topic.

And maybe thats where Im going with this - the problem isnt about depicting the redemption or whatever of killers, but if a story is mature and "deep" enough to handle it. So with my Avatar example I think that in a back handed way, it was good that Zuko wasnt a killer - becaue even if everybody loves the show (I mostly do to, shit was fun) - its kinda clear that in the end the writting and themes etc were on a level of a kid show - enough for kids, but not complex enough to actually deal with some things that other works could (and not even talking about something being grimdark or complex, cause nah everybody hates DBZ but that shit was so.good everybody felt Vegeta turning good and dont make essays about how bad that was, anyways that is why DBZ is too complicated for most western fans💅💅💅 ((but thats a topic for another day))

So to come back to the Crona question - was Soul Eater really prepared to deal with the topic of mass killing inocent people (mostly)? Especially when Ohkubo says himself that it was "a show where death isnt taken seriously"?

Cause I think, with Cronas struggle being mostly about abuse, doing bad things because of parental abandonment, fear etc, was it really necessary to add this baggage? Especially with a show that has that many visual metaphors?

And one example that I would use kinda proves my point and maybe implys that Ohkubo also kinda started backpedalling - the second time we see Crona, there are no wannabe gangsters, just souls of already killed people by another kishinegg which is just a wacky bad guy who isnt even really alive himself (and eve. comically survives)

Basically what I'm entertaining, is if wouldnt have been better to have Crona absorb souls that other Kishinseggs had collected, in this way preserving that they do something wrong (but reversible as later shown with the confiscation) yet never having to go to the extreme of "haha check out this wacky outfit our new friend Crona is wearing! Also twenty people were murdered in that church, shit was crazy"

But am I really basically saying 4kids Crona is the answer. Putting it this way lol, I dunno, I mean I like the pirate rap, but just sanitising everything seems off to me to. So yeah I dont even know.

And that is what leaves this whole question like the socratic dialogs, without any real answer with more confusion than before. But maybe it could "start a discussion" or whatever. But in case it was just a waste of time, without going anywhere:

Yeah... Sorry

Also quick manga spoilers as a bonus

This would aslo avoid making Cronas fate feel so cope-outish, cause that seemed to be the real reason - Ohkubo neither felt comfortable ignoring the whole message of overcoming fear and connecting no matter what, while also just saying that killing more people in Ukraine than in the last 2 years was just a big uppsie - hence the paradox of the non ending "I dont want to hurt. anybody, but actually I am evil.and care for Maka only or maybe Im just guiltu or maybe not and Im crazy xddd"

[celibate-batjokes-mpreg-yaoi-911]

"has over 100 quotable lines" made me wonder if its true. so here im going to go over the tdk script and list every single quotable line. i consider a quotable line something i can actually imagine a normal human person (Not someone from r/NolanBatmanMemes) quoting on purpose (specifically from this movie, so lines that are very generic weren't added) even if the person hearing it might not get the reference.

You have any idea who you're stealing from?

Criminals in this town used to believe in things.

Whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger.

I told you my compound would take you places. I never said they'd be places you wanted to go.

Not my diagnosis.

I'm not wearing hockey pads.

Batman has no limits.

I make my own luck.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

And I thought my jokes were bad.

I'm gonna make this pencil disappear.

What happened? Did your balls drop off?

It's simple. We kill the Batman.

If you're good at something, never do it for free.

Enough from the clown!

Let's not blow this out of proportion.

You think you can steal from us and just walk away?

Perhaps you should read the instructions first?

You wanna know how I got these scars?

Why so serious?

Let's put a smile on that face.

Any psychotic ex-boyfriends I should be aware of?

We are tonight's entertainment.

You remind me of my father. I hated my father.

You look nervous. Is it the scars?

Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling.

Then you're gonna love me.

Very poor choice of words.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

I did bloody tell you.

He's not being a hero. He's being something more.

Oh, excuse me. I wanna drive.

Depending on the time, he may be in one spot or several.

Never start with the head. The victim gets all fuzzy.

Even to a guy like me, that's cold.

You complete me.

Don't talk like one of them. You're not.

Their morals, their code... it's a bad joke.

They're only as good as the world allows them to be.

I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

The only sensible way to live is without rules.

You have nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength.

In their last moments people show you who they really are.

I'm a guy of simple taste.

This town deserves a better class of criminal.

It's not about money, it's about sending a message.

Everything burns.

Do I really look like a guy with a plan?

I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it.

I'm an agent of chaos.

You know the thing about chaos? It's fair.

This is too much power for one person.

We really should stop this fighting, otherwise we'll miss the fireworks.

Can't rely on anyone these days. You gotta do everything yourself.

This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

I think you and I are destined to do this forever.

You'll be in a padded cell forever.

Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

You think I wanna escape from this? There is no escape from this.

It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!

I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be.

Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.

Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more.

Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

We'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

ok thats it. thank u for coming to my tdk talk

Static's thoughts on Specific Food/Items/Creatures

(Bear in mind that this is from the perspective of someone who has the ability to just bite into shit wholesale. With most of these, if it's a mob drop, they're talking about the item. If it's a mob, they're talking about biting the Physical Creature) -Rotten flesh: "I mean. It's rotten flesh. It is flesh, and it is edible, but it's not the best. Flesh from husks isn't too bad, it's just really dry. Drowned have vile flesh though. It's soggy and salty and gross. Normal zombies...somewhere in the middle. Probably the closest to actual dried meat re: texture, but tastewise it could be better. Viable food though." -Spider Eyes: "They're worse than rotten flesh. Since they're poisonous. Taste-wise...I mean, taste-wise, they're not horrible, just kinda bland. But they're poisonous. I'd eat em in an emergency, but I'd eat rotten flesh first." -Cows: "They're. They're cows. Take a bit of raw beef and eat it, and then eat a bunch more of it, and that's about what it's like. Messy, though. To be honest, unless it's a chicken, eating anything whole is messy. Chickens aren't as messy. Cows are horrifically messy, though." -Sheep: "If they're not sheared, it's like eating a bloody blanket. If they are sheared...again, it's literally just mutton. With some extra bits, yes, but...it's still pretty simple!" -Pigs: "It's Pork. Not as messy as cows or sheep, but still messy. They are arguably the easiest of the four-leggeds to bite through, though." -Chickens: "Definitely the easiest animal to eat, particularly because they also die pretty quick. I don't have to use my hands, one bite is generally enough. The feathers kinda suck, though." -Skeletons? "I mean, I can break their bones and get at the marrow, but to be honest it's not really worth it for me. If someone came up to me and asked 'hey, I have some open bones, you want some marrow?' I wouldn't refuse, but it's more work than it's worth to do it myself."

-Creepers: "I can eat creepers. Strictly speaking. Trying to actually do it without them blowing up in my face is hard, though. And gunpowder...well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

-Spiders: "Believe me when I say that biting into a spider wholesale raw is worse than biting into a zombie. Because they have exoskeletons, everything inside is wet and goopy and sometimes barely contained and it's gross. Zombies? They have bones, their bodies are actually structured in a way that isn't Juice World. I've eaten spiders before and it was only when I was very desperate and very hungry. Cave spiders are even worse because they're poisonous. Big spiders aren't poisonous on their own, 's just their eyes."

-Zombies: "It's...it's basically just biting a person, but the person is undead. Unpleasant taste, even more unpleasant smell most of the time unless it's a husk. They don't bleed a whole lot. They're kinda dry. The one upside to them compared to players is that zombies are stupid, so it's easy to just rip out whatever's keeping them up and then they're down. Oh, and the morality bit."

-Hoglins: "Ok. Take a pig. Make it extremely tough. Like, 'I left my steak in a very hot, very dry furnace for a day' tough. Let the meat sit on netherrack far from lava for a while, maybe a couple months. Don't cook it, let the nether heat do its thing. Now eat it. That's what hoglin is like. Also good fucking luck killing them without a sword, their outer hide is like hardened leather. I can bite through it, but they need to be stunned or else I'll get thrown off."

-Piglins: "Kinda a mix between hoglins and people, honestly. They're pretty tough, but they're humanoid, so they lack a bit of the Oomph that hoglins have."

-Zombified Piglins: "Ew. Gross. Nasty. They're hot from the nether and they taste like rotten pork. Absolutely one of the worst things to eat, down there with spiders."

-Striders: "They're Too Fuckin Hot. Even when they're cold. Biting into one feels like drinking a lava bucket. It's not even worth it, they taste like rocks."

-Silverfish: "It's a bit like spiders, just less juice."

-Endermites: "My mouthparts are specifically adapted for ender-beings. Because I crawled out of the Void. Anyways. Endermites just feel normal to eat. They're not especially tasty, and I don't like the fact that they're bugs, but they feel normal enough. Still don't eat em often, though."

-Endermen: "As far as natural instinct goes, Endermen are probably the most natural thing for me to go after. Pearls, specifically. They have a good mouthfeel, and they're pitifully easy to incapacitate if you have foot-long razor sharp knives coming out of your mouth. I avoid eating them, though. Get a bit weird when I do."

-Ghasts: "I've tried. Doesn't work. It's because their core is so far in, you'd have to be lucky to get at it. Seriously, have you ever touched a ghast? They don't feel like much unless you're touching the center."

-Vexes: "They give me indigestion."

Items:

-Mushrooms (any): "I mean. They're mushrooms, right? They...they just taste like mushrooms! Warped 'shrooms taste a bit funky, sort of like an enderman but fermented, and crimson 'shrooms are just spicy!"

-String: "Noooooo, any fiber like that I can't eat. You try eating string."

-Gunpowder: "If you want me to die and leave behind a significant crater, sure."

-Slime: "Slime is...slime, it's a slime ball, it's sticky and tastes vaguely like swampwater."

-Redstone: "I mean...as far as things I've put in my mouth? Not the worst. Far from the best, but not the worst. Did turn me funny colors for a bit though."

-Netherwart: "Netherwart...hm. It...just drink an awkward potion, to be honest. The weird taste that isn't water is netherwart"

-Blaze Powder: "Blaze powder is just painful."

-Heart of the Sea: "I've eaten one or two. They sort of just taste like fish, though."

-Nether Stars: "I can eat nether stars, yeah. It's just that they give me a migraine and also the last time I ate one I blew a hole through bedrock, which isn't something I'm keen on repeating."

ok actually im ready to complain about saturdays shift that while not one of the worst was certainly one of my most "yeah im so done working here. wow already?" ok so i show up guy i havent worked with in a while but get along with well is there. cool. hes coughing a fucking insane amount. not cool. i tell him wow you can go home early if you want! :) i dont want you coughing on me bc im almost CERTAIN this motherfucker got ME SICK last time he showed up under the weather. but hes like no i have things i have to do and no one else can come in. WHAT EVER i tried. ok so i start looking around hmm its a fucking sty basically everything is sticky i had to chuck all the ice scoops and two of the shakers in to the sink to rewash them and there was just shit all over the counters. so i have said before i cant really work the way he does where he mostly cleans up at the end whereas if theres more than like 2 messes i start freaking out a bit. so the compromise has been he cleans up his mess before he leaves and i stay the fuck away from bar and stay on register. which works well bc i love register. but he's out of the kiosk for most of my shift so im just fucking cleaning his mess up while we have one million people coming in today and ordering too much when there is visibly a single barista. fuck off kill yourselves. but whatever. this is mostly what soured my mood so bad but the day being busy for us in general + working with the guy i just complained about in the last post just made it like. NO recovery. oh and i bought this prepackaged bubble tea bc i wanted to see how bad it was and the answer: they didnt even make the actual tea good. how do you fuck that up. it was SO sweet and nothing else like it didnt even taste like tea.

[filipinoizukuu]

class 1-a hcs based on science and shit: part 1

u cant tell me any of these characters smell completely normal. or good in a way u can make candles out of them. this is my hc list and i am RUNNING with it. @emogaeness this 1's for u, my dude

Aoyama: one of the only 'normal' smelling ones. he defs uses french parfum but also he probably smells like heated metal and cheese all the time. Energy doesnt really have a smell til it interacts with gas so i think he probably just smells like however he wants to.

Mina: IM SORRY TO SAY BUT MISS MAAM IS STINKY AS HECK. mina is an acid producer and therefore smells acidic--and going by what we know of acid, she smells PUNGENT. dairy-like but also sour. BUT her body is probably evolved to be antacidic and she's a gymnast. after reading like, 2 research papers, gymansts chalk (magnesium carbonate) neutralizes acids (caus its 10.5 ph) and so i think while she does kinda smell, it wouldnt be AS bad even if she's training. its possible for her to wear perfume if she wanted, since usually they're around the 7 pH range.

Tsuyu: Oh. wet grass. and just. damp. she probably smells like marshlands or just nature in general, because thats part of camouflage. she probably also has an underlying sweet scent from venom? idk. on the normal she'd probably just smell neutral if a little musty.

Iida: ok i had to wiki this but i dont think he smells like much? he faintly smells like exhaust--but when he overuses his quirk and inevitably combusts whatever engines he uses, the chemical reaction creates sulfur which would make him smell like rotten eggs. otherwise he smells like orange juice (his choice of 'fuel'), sweat, and cologne.

Uraraka: I think she just smells like mochi lol. gravity doesnt really alter her body so i think ochako's normal--if a bit sweet bc she generally seems to like sweet stuff in canon

Ojiro: OK HES JUST GOT A WEIRD LUMP OF FLESH ON HIS BACK FOR A TAIL THO LIKE?? IDK HE SMELLS NORMAL?? maybe a bit like spray-on shampoo and deodorant, but that's it. does a third limb of pure muscle smell like anything? no? godspeed, mashirao, godspeed.

Kaminari: he smells like ozone. He's probably crazy static since he generates the electricity inside of him constantly and is canonically a terrific electricity conduit, so unlike aoyama he'd definitely smell like frying electricity. also. (minor manga spoilers) he bathes enough to be able to call midoriya stinky, so he definitely has basic hygiene. other than that i think he smells like sweaty leather bc of his hero costume and candy.

Kirishima: not quirk related but he probably just smells like sweat. and like, meat. maybe dirt. i love this boy but i'm also a sheeple bc i believe in the hc that he smells like axe body spray. and really good conditioner bc of how fucked up his hair would be by now if he wasn't taking very good care of it.

Kouda: smells like animals. like. bunnies and hamsters and birds and stuff. its not bad per se, but he definitely smells like he's constantly hanging out with the city's local rodent and avian population. other than that he probably just smells neutral/like nothing, since that's more approachable to the prey animals that he seems to favor.

Satou: baked goods and candy.

Shouji: I think Shouji is probably the most hygiene-conscious of all the kids in 1-A. Because of the amount of open/accessible body parts like eyes, nose, ears on his limbs--he probably takes very good care in showering and all that stuff to prevent random infections or just generally damaging any of his senses. Dude's chill--smells like mild soap and laundry detergent.

Jirou: Ah, not gonna lie she probably smells a bit like burnt electrical wires. She's a bit like Kaminari in terms of smell, except her's have that more 'metallic' and burning sharpness whenever she uses the stunning part of her quirk. Other than that... probably also leather because of her hero costume, or just like the inside of an instrument shop (wood, ivory, brass, etc.)

Sero: Packaging type. you know when you pull like, a large strip of tape and--? yeah? that. smells like tack. other than that, excellent hygiene! bergamot and pine or whatever.

Tokoyami: he smells like bird, but only faintly. dude mostly smells a little musty caus he probably never airs out his room. Dark shadow is described like "dark energy" which, similar to aoyama, kaminari, and jirou, probably makes the air around him smell different bc thats gas interacting with energy. Aside from that, he most likely smells neutral. (... maybe with a bit of leather and metal because thats just how his fashion probably works)

Todoroki: Sweat, but not like, a lot. He definitely doesn't smell bad after battles because steam kills bacteria like, fairly effectively, and would eliminate most foul odors. I think he'd smell like Expensive herbal soap or whatever most of the time. He doesn't seem like the type to be unhygienic.

Hagakure: ????? fuck dude she probably tries her best to smell like nothing, caus if her whole schtick is being invisible then its probably best if she just smelt like nothing. imagine being a villain and then promptly getting kicked in the nuts by a gust of wind that smells like strawberry peach.

Mineta: i cant explain it but just... warm grape juice. his... orbs. have oily/sticky like substances to act as adhesive and ill be damned before u tell me he doesn't smell like anything even remotely artificial-grape-flavoring adjacent. he also smells of like,, axe body spray but stronger.

Yaoyorozu: herbal tea on a normal day. most likely the digestive kind just because i think thats the most practical tea to have with a quirk like hers thats reliant on eating large quantities of food. other than that, i think she smells like basic weaponry-grade materials like iron, polished wood, copper, and gunpowder.

Bakugou: stinky boy. canonically, his hygiene's great but that's likely for a reason. he sweats a lot and excessively, and while his sweat is described as 'nitroglycerine-like' it doesn't mean it smells like caramel. the common description for nitroglycerine according to the brittanica encyclopedia is that it's toxic and has a 'sweet, burning taste'. the sweet scent is described as sharp at best--so while its totally okay if you wanna think of his sweat as caramel-like, i just wanted to clear up the misconception that thats what it factually is. ASSUMING his sweat still has a similar molecular makeup to nitroglycerine and has nitric dioxide, it would smell sickly sweet, if slightly neutral due to the nature of sweat itself being odorless when clean. other than that? bkg is definitely just a smelly, smelly boy. smells like sun and smoke and teenage body odor and burnt plastic.

Midoriya: SMELLY STINKY. deku sweats like, a lot. not only does ofa expend a ridiculous amount of energy and probably strains his muscles like crazy (forcing him to expel all that lactic acid in the form of sweat), but he also spends a lot of time just outside in general. science slightly aside, deku smells a lot like grass and dirt and just,,, the outdoors in general. he, like kaminari, smells very strongly of ozone (clean, chlorine-like) because of the sheer amount of energy output OfA has. Not expounding past the manga, Black Whip is described as a quirk that produces tendrils of pure black energy. This probably creates the same effect/smell as an area struck by lightning.

[yandere-sins]

(tumblr might eat this ask but let's give it a shot lol) its so awesome that you added bsd! could I request general hcs for yandere mafia! dazai? nsfw is ok if you wanna write that in too!

Thanks for the request! It arrived safely, no worries ^^

»»———————— ♡ ————————««   

SFW

♡ There never was a time his darling had it easy with him. You went through every stage of his life with him, only to find that he might have changed over time, but not for the better. Where there was no purpose in living for him before, you became the sole purpose for him. Even if his suicide thoughts, the violence, and the failed escapes scared you, it never kept Dazai away from invading every inch of your being. He always left you with something that would occupy your mind as much with him as his mind was occupied with you, even if he wasn’t physically tending to you. But even just the ropes he tied you up with, much too tightly to move without causing your skin to tear, made you curse him all day until he returned to your side grinning—both of you knowing you’d never get rid of him.

♡ His time in the mafia causes terrifying emotions in him, and you are a convenient punch back waiting for him unwillingly. Some days he just stares at you. For hours. He’d do it for days if he didn’t have a sense of duty tingling inside of him still. Other days, he gets physical. Crying into your shoulder as his hands roam, asking questions you can’t answer—don’t want to answer. Slaps to your face, cuts on your body. Nails that dig too deep for them to not draw blood out of you. Bones he broke just to hear the sound of them breaking. Others he broke so you wouldn’t use them anymore for acts he should punish, but Dazai denies that he’d ever punish you. Not you. Oh, not you. You saw countless people who patched you up after he roughed up your body, but you never saw them twice, and you don’t think anyone ever saw them after they treated you. Dazai confessed to killing one or two, but at that point, you were already desensitized by his tales of murder and slaughter. And yet, he’d pinch you to get a reaction from you, your flinches and shudders being his lullaby that made him sigh happily. In his arms, you were the most alive thing he ever felt, seeking your pulse as if it was his own.

♡ There’s a lot of time to think. Tied up and unable to move, speak, or see much in the dark room, all you have until Dazai comes back are your own thoughts to keep you company. Terrible, terrible company. You don’t question his feelings; perhaps you can even acknowledge them. Dazai is just really bad at the whole ‘being in a relationship’, but he actually loves you. “I love you” is an overused phrase with little meaning to you now, but you hear it every day. It’s a weakness to admit, Dazai jokes, but you are his weakness. You think so too. Otherwise, it would make no sense that he didn’t kill you yet. Threatened you, sure. Beat you up in a fit of loving, enthusiastic, maniacally rage, yes. But his hand never snapped your neck, there was never a knife at your throat or hovering over your chest, and aside from using sleeping pills and drugs on you, he was meticulously to use the correct dosage. He must love you so damn much. Because the threats of suicides are just that: threats. Even if you wished he’d disappear, he doesn’t leave you, coming home wet, bloody, absolutely disgusting. But he’s there with you, laying by your side and holding your cheek with his filthy hands, a smile on his face as he caresses you lovingly after yet another long, harsh day for both of you.

NSFW

♡ Despite it all, you don’t believe that you bring him much comfort. Perhaps, the thought of caring for you was intended to make himself feel better or make him believe there was some purpose in his life after all—namely, you. But the way he fucks you almost makes you feel like he hates you as he swears his love to you. “You’re beautiful! Amazing! Stunning!” His thrilled exclamations are hard to believe when your body is too full of drugs to move, his hand pressing his full weight onto your head and into the floor. At this stage of the night, Dazai wants nothing more than use you for his sick pleasure. For desire that he didn’t get to live out throughout the day, he must have the upper hand on something now. He’s so clever. A strategist, cunning, sly. A methodical mastermind. But his plans sometimes needed time. Time that he needs to fill with other things that would give him the same height he experiences from successfully fulfilling a master plan. It makes him into a narcissistic asshole who comes first, pumping his hot mess into you, similar to how one would use a sex doll.

♡ But he loves you. That’s the one thing he assures over and over, gripping you by your hair and elbow and pulling you back on his lap. Dazai leaves a trail of soft kisses along your spine as he tugs at both your arms, causing you to slip back onto his cock. If you weren’t so out of it already, you would have been impaled on him, unable to move out of the position. “Sing for me,” he demands sweetly, guiding you to grind your hips with his. He’s too clever than to rob you from your ability to speak, or really, less speak, but utter moans that praise him. You come to hate his ability to make you so willing, yet, adore him that he takes the time to make you cum despite it all. Sure, Dazai could have stopped after finishing. He had no reason to get you off other than that he wanted to. Yes, he wanted to hear you groan your sounds of pleasure, feel you squeeze his shaft inside of you, touch you all around your body and have his fingers melt into your skin. The answer to the question of the why? comes to you much later after he puts you down, cuddling your body instead of a blanket and sighing into your shoulder.

♡ Sex makes Dazai feel alive. Even if just for a little, perhaps just until his orgasm. He might be able to take a few more minutes of the height by making you squirm and writhe in his arms; feel your body, hear your voice. Touching you, caressing you, it’s not your satisfaction—it’s his. And he loves you, yes, because you make him feel something he can’t feel on his own. No matter where, when, how, you make him feel alive, but when he takes you like a lover would his partner, that’s when you two brim with life. Dazai loves you for it. Loves every calling of his name, the stutter in your moans. The way you taste, smell, and sound when he takes you to be his. No other man alive touches you, looks at you the same way he does. You are all his and consuming you is just another way of loving you. He’ll go down on you, top you, make you top him, anything. Dazai wants to know it all, even if he needs to drug you when you are unwilling. He’ll be your guide just so you can be his sun in the endless darkness of his soul. And you are just grateful for how many times he makes you come in one night, sending you to the little bit of heaven that you will never reach as long as you are with him.

Reader(Fem) X Alcina Dimitrescu

(PART 1)

Written by cannibal_witchh

⛓Trigger Warning⛓

Story contains: Gore, sexual elements, vulgar language, violence, elements of sub/dom behavior, and captivity.

Notes:

I am not the most confident writer so bare with me if theres some flaws floating around the story. I also have very minimal general knowledge to Alcina right now due just demos only being out. Please, be considerate that there's only so much information released on her so most of what I'm writing is not canon. Let's keep it positive and real, we all are thirsting after Lady D so here's a a fanfiction. Also couldn't condense it in one story so going to make this adleast a two or three parter.

It can get confusing with a lot of female characters so the reader is of course:

Y/N - your name

Her/she- i wanted to refer to the female reader in italics and bold

Y/L/N- your last name

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Thunder echoed along the well decorated corridor walls . Hints of lightning occasionally flashed between fluttering curtains. Beyond the curtains was an open window, below that was a critical drop into snow and shards of large rocks. That was definitely not worth risking. Y/N had been held in captivity for what felt like a legitimate eternity. Confinded to a small well kempt room, it seemed as though it had once been a guest room according to the furnishing. All the basic necessities of a bedroom were present here. The fabrics that dressed the bed were of a fine quality, and the boards that held all of it up were of incredible carpentry. Gentle embers flickered from the candlewicks that rose tall on the golden girandoles. Despite captivity the room was comfortable, it was illuminated with warm colors, although still dim and feint.

The door swung open, a black swarm of insects swirled infront of the door as it begun to quickly form a figure. It revealed a small vampiric woman, hooded with golden locks peaking from under it. She flashed her teeth with an enthusiastic smile, as she revealed blood stained teeth, lips, as well as her chin. " Oh, goody! You are awake. I always feel bad feeding when someone is asleep.", She shut the door as she advanced closer to Y/N. Adrenaline began to flood through her veins, hair on her body standing up, and her palms perspiring. She was covered in scabbed bite marks, and bruises - it didn't take long for her to recall the abrupt painful puncture of teeth break through her skin. The old bites began to twitch with pain at the idea a new addition would be welcomed. " I just prefer blood thats been in shock, y'know, awake? It gives it a nice acidic flavor, plus,", she towered over Y/N breathing in her aroma. " It smells wonderful.", she giggled in soft whispers. "Enough.", Y/N demanded as she attempted to cease her trembling. Her body was returning to anxiety because it was clear what was about to happen. A feeding. The vampire didn't seem to express offense, strangely her face bore amusement. "Oh ok, how about this!", she excitedly brought out her sickle and swung at her. With one swift swing the sickle hooked right under her knee cap. A shriek was released from Y/N's lips, agonizing pain radiating everywhere, and blood began to river out from the site. The vampire dragged her with the sickle through the corridor as everything seemed like a blurr from the shock. Hallways seemed like a stretched out haze, and noises seemed to be loud echoes one would hear in a juvenile cafeteria. "Whe-where are you taking me...?", she barely mustered as she felt the sickle dig through muscle and actually brush against the back of her knee cap. Fuck. The sickle was released quickly from her skin as she heard the sound of blood fly onto the ground. That abrupt removal felt worse for minutes compared to the weapon actually being present in Y/N's knee. The monstrous woman lifted the sickle to her crimson stained lips, inhaling the aroma deep, and then proceeding to lick the sickle of the blood it had collected. Sounds of ecstasy escaped her satin black lips, her eyes darted over at Y/N as she felt like she was on the verge of fainting from shock. " I love blood that has some acidicity to it. It gives it a nice kick. You know how that works? For example, your blood could still have more of that taste. One who is in a flight or fright scenario, where they are in absolute fear and adrenaline kicks in...thats when the meat and blood have a sour flavor. Mmm, thats why we are going to play a game." , she licked her lips as her eyes flickered with hunger and passion. Y/N groaned in pain as she felt her body gasp from the fevered pain beating in her knee. " I propose we play hide and go seek! You already know who's hiding. I will give you to the count of 100." , her eyes shimmered from this fucked up idea, she quickly turned her back and covered her eyes. Slowly the sickle in her hand vanished within dark smoke, damn it, Y/N within fading in and out had thought perhaps of stealing that and killing her there. Not anymore. She rose up with wobbling knees, just like a new born dear barely capable of using its legs, she began to hobble as fast as she could away.

"Oh, and I can smell your blood. So hide well, Y/L/N."

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Y/N consistently looked back, watching if the vampire had cheated the game. She was indeed honoring the game, that was adleast something about this blonde one she liked. She seemed to honor things she said, " 89...70...", her voice echoed loudly through the halls. The numbers lowering as Y/N felt her adrenaline spike even higher.

Y/N managed to find a door unlocked in a different wing of the manor. She adleast went through 10 locked doors before fleeing to another location of the manor. With pure luck, she discovered this door, it was unlocked and she took her gamble and entered quietly. With trembling gore soiled hands, she locked the door, and sunk to the ground. Very little energy existed in her, she anticipated for dear life the blonde vampire wouldn't smell her here.

The sound of gentle humming danced along the walls of this room, very melodic, sad, and eerie. Lonely, perhaps. With Y/N's quick realization, this resembled a garden bath house. The windows stretched tall in this room, revealing bleeding light from the full moon, there were plants of vibrant emeralds surrounding the large mass of water that centered the room. The water was decorated with rose petals and red spider lilies. The room was architecturally structured with several stones of marble, and looked almost like a Greek bath house . Gentle sounds of rushing water followed between stones which flowed into the big pool of water. Little ripples scattered across the water causing the red flowers to bob up and down.

The humming persisted as Y/N felt her heart drop, she quickly scurried to the nearest marble pillar to conceal herself. The humming was growing louder and louder, could it be the hungry vampire? She wasn't certain if it was worse but it certainly felt like it, Lady Dimitrescu emerged from the shadows of the room, and strided to the water. She was only wrapped in the finest silk, a tight sheer white robe that hugged tightly against her hips. She definitely had a full figure, the robe delivered a silhouette of her motherly figure. It certainly complimented, the low cut of the robe teased her deep cleavage, the sheer silk revealed faint color and the shape of her puffy areolas. Even in the predicament Y/N was in, it was still hard not to appreciate Alcina's physical beauty.

Alcina continued her melodic hum for a few more moments as she admired the undulations of the floral water. " Y/N Y/L/N, you believe me to be foolish?", she broke from her tune as her eyes looked directly at Y/N. She gulped hard as she submitted to the acceptance Alcina would more than likely kill her. She continued to lay her back against the cold pillar, one hand applying pressure to her bleeding knee, the other containing the fear that was trying to escape her lips. " I could smell that delicious blood from here.", she chucked lightly, "Come here, now.", she demanded with her arms crossing. Y/N did not obey the command, she remained quiet behind the pillar. For minutes it consisted of painful sharp silence, only the sound of her terrified heart beats could be heard. Her ears burned and rung, it desperately needed the assurance Alcina was still idle. Did Y/N dare look beyond the pillar? She peeked over and Alcina was no where to be found. Consternation filled her as there wasn't even a trace of evidence to signify the direction Alcina went. Unexpectedly, Y/N felt a hard blow and collapsed on her side. Her hands releasing themselves, and a gasp of air evacuated her mouth. " Oh, I see. ", Alcina had kicked her, her foot pressed hard against her side. Her smooth leg exposed, tracing all the way to her innermost thigh. Her skin looked smooth like porcelain, but certainly felt the weight of heavy boulders as it rested on her. Y/N groaned in pain as she felt her foot dig deep into her. "Bleeding out on my perfect floors. Oh, what a mess. Although, it does certainly smells of of tart berries, yes, what a wonderful aroma.", Alcina breathed in the cold air, inhaling hints of Y/N's blood. She moaned in intoxication to the alluring smell of fresh blood. Alcina removed her foot from Y/N, she gasped for air in relief, and tried to attempt to sit up. Alcina quickly lunged forward without even a blink, and her long hand wrapped around Y/N's throat. "No, I don't think so.", Alcina smirked as her hand squeezed around her throat. She fell onto her back, the large vampress towering over, her large hand pressing into her throat.She was capable of breathing but it was incredibly taxing especially with the critical condition she was in. Desperate wheezing filled the air, it burned and stung inside of Y/N's throat. Alcina stared into her eyes, a long red smile stretched upon her pale white face. "Hmm, this is quite boring already. I am quite famished too.", she released her grip, ascended and brought her arms to her bosom to cross them. Y/N began to violently cough and gag as proper air flow returned to her lungs. After several minutes of constant heaving, she finally managed to collect herself. "Come.", Alcina ordered as she turned on the balls of her feet and waltzed to the bath. Y/N submitted, too exhausted to resist any longer. She barely could stand but managed, she approached Alcina with her eyes fixed on her every move. " My little one lacks control. Just as I would suspect with her age. If she doesn't stop stabbing you, you'll die. And I really have grown addicted to your flavor as well. I really would hate for you to bleed out one day because of her reckless actions.", she expressed with a sigh of annoyance. Suddenly, a knock interrupted her rambling, " Lady Dimitrescu,", it was the blonde vampire. Alcina let out another sigh in annoyance. "Yes?", she responded with a disinterested tone, as she crossed her arms a little more snug. Revealing a distracting amount of cleavage being pressed together. " Is Y/N in there?", she sniffed loudly as she strived to rattle the door knob open. " Yes, but I require her. I will discuss with you later some important matters. For the mean time, please do not disturb me and I'll return to you soon.", Alcina said sternly as her fingers drummed the top of her arms impatiently. "Yes, Lady Dimitrescu. ", the blonde vampire responded with pure disappointment in her tone.

"Now, where were we? Oh, yes. I've decided you will become my little feeding pet. My daughters do not know how to handle food without killing it. So you are now only mine. Clear?", she lowered herself and grabbed Y/N by the face. Turning her face side to side to examine the condition she was in. Y/N nodded to the best of her abilities, and quickly, Alcina released her. "Good. I'm glad you are willing. I want you to undress now." Embarassment flooded Y/N's mind, her cheeks buzzing with warmth. Why would she even demand that? " I intend on drinking the blood thats already spilling out of you. But I won't drink it while its been dragged around by a rusty sickle and pressed against the dirty floor.", her refined side was definitely exposed. She was different from her daughters, she wanted her meals much more virtuous. " Oh, now, now. I will even join you. They say when two are bathing they are equals.", she added as she disrobed herself. Gently she slide the robe off her shoulders and down her large breasts, as the robe began to flutter down to the marble. Her naked body exposed, and remarkable. Her large breasts sitting perky, her puffy areolas a light grey, and her waist down was incredibly curvy. Absolutely, a full figured silhouette. She dipped her feet in and followed by submerging her body into the bathwater. She let out a sound of relaxation as she smirked and beckoned Y/N. "Come, now."

Well-Known and Obscure Toxins: How They Work

Well this is a morbid subject but HEY it’s almost Halloween baby!! I was super curious about what toxins actually do on a molecular level after reading about cone snails. Obviously toxins can kill you, but how?? I wanted to know the grisly details. This is not an exhaustive list, just some types of poison, venom, and other toxic substances I was curious about, so let’s get to it.

Deadly Nightshade

Where is it found? Atropa belladonna grows in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia.

How it works: speeds up your heart and generally fucks with your nervous system. Deadly nightshade contains tropane alkaloids atropine, hyoscine (scopolamine), and hyoscyamine which disrupt the nervous system’s ability to regulate activities such as heart rate, breathing and sweating. It can cause narcosis, paralysis and heart failure as a result. Yikes. But an antidote exists that can reverse these affects if administered in time.

Toxicity: the entire plant is toxic, with roots having the highest toxicity but berries posing the greatest threat to humans because of their appearance. 10-20 berries can kill an adult, and 2-4 can kill a child. Symptoms of mild poisoning include dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, loss of balance, confusion, hallucinations (wild) and convulsions. Doesn’t sound like a good time.

Do not eat the shiny attractive berries!!! (Cows and rabbits and other animals can eat it but humans, dogs and cats...NOT SO MUCH) You can also get toxins on your skin just by touching the plant but this will not kill you.

Totally fun and not morbid fact: during the Renaissance, belladonna was used by women in small quantities to dilate pupils and give a seductive appearance, and this is how it gets its name belladonna, or beautiful woman. Atropa comes from the Greek Fate Atropos who cuts the threads of mortal lives with her shears. Snip snip!

Hemlock

Where is it found? Conium maculatum grows naturally in Europe and North Africa, and has spread to North and South America, Australia and Western Asia.

How it works: stops your breathing. The flowers contain an alkaloid called coniine, which directly affects the nervous system and causes paralysis of respiratory muscles, leading to death from oxygen deprivation. Hemlock poisoning is treated by artificial ventilation for 48-72 hours until the effects wear off.

Toxicity: about 100 milligrams of coniine is fatal to an adult. That’s about 6-8 hemlock leaves, or a smaller dose of the seeds or root. Animals can also be poisoned and killed by hemlock, but luckily dangerous substances cannot be passed into the human food chain from milk or fowl. Similar to nightshade, you can get a non-lethal amount of the toxin on your skin simply from touching this plant.

Basically you’re only gonna get poisoned by this if someone puts it in your tea, because I assume you’re not gonna just go around just like...chomping on pretty flowers. Right? Right?? ok good.

Arsenic

Where is it found? arsenic is a metalloid that occurs often with sulfurs and metals. It can be present in volcanic ash and groundwater, and as a result can be found in low (acceptable) levels in plants and seafood. Good news: it is rare to find arsenic occurring at dangerous levels in nature.

How it works: in high levels, arsenic disrupts ATP production and causes organ failure due to necrotic cell death. This process can last between 2 hours to multiple days. It can also be fatal in lower doses administered over a period of time, and as such, was a popular murder weapon when it was readily available during the 1800s in England. Symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea don’t immediately alert someone that there has been an attempted murder unless maybe you’re Sherlock Holmes.

Toxicity: google probably thinks I’m a murderer and won’t tell me just how much arsenic will kill a person. COME ON, google!!! it’s for SCIENCE!

Arsenic is no longer readily available for people to just get in large quantities, so that’s a RELIEF.

Cyanide

Where is it found? cyanide is a chemical compound produced by certain algae, bacteria and fungi. It is also found in plants such as peaches, apples, apricots and bitter almonds. A type of bamboo that grows in Madagascar is so rich in cyanide that it would kill humans, but not the golden bamboo lemur for whom this bamboo is a primary source of food!!! You go girl, eat that cyanide bamboo.

How it works: for everyone who’s not a golden bamboo lemur, cyanide disrupts ATP production, affects the central nervous system and heart, and causes histotoxic hypoxia: the inability of cells to take up oxygen from the bloodstream. Antidotes can work if administered in time for lower doses of cyanide.

Toxicity: 200 milligrams of solid cyanide or a cyanide solution, or exposure to airborne cyanide of 270 parts per million is sufficient to cause death within minutes. Um, YIKES. Really, cyanide was already scary enough as a solid before nature went and made it into a gas that kills upon inhalation. DEEPLY uncool.

Murder mystery writers: slip belladona or arsenic into your literary victim’s tea. Belladonna is sweet, arsenic is tasteless, but cyanide has an acrid and bitter taste.

Fun (well, not fun) fact: if you eat 200 apple seeds (about 40 apple cores) you will receive a fatal dose of cyanide. So like, don’t do that. An apple a day keeps the doctor away and is completely safe, but 40 apples apple cores a day WILL KILL YOU

Vampire Bat Saliva

Where is it found? Vampire bats are found in the Americas.

How it works: a toxic substance called Draculin (I’m serious) in the saliva of vampire bats acts as an anticoagulant by inhibiting an enzyme involved in the coagulation pathway.

Toxicity: vampire bats are indeed venomous and toxic, but they are not at all lethal. It just sorta sucks if you’re being bitten by a vampire bat, but you’ll live. Unless that bat has rabies. Vampire bat saliva also contains an analgesic, meaning the bites are almost completely painless. SO THAT’S SOMETHING

Cobra Venom

“hello do you have a moment to hear about cell death?”

Where is it found? Many species of cobra are found throughout Africa, Southwest and Southeast Asia.

How it works: most cobra venom includes neurotoxins that cause paralysis as well as cytotoxins that cause necrosis and blood coagulation. blood coagulation can happen in minutes.

Toxicity: many types of cobra venom are treatable, but may leave disfigurement from necrosis. If this isn’t scary enough for you, just know that spitting cobras can reach 2.7 m (8.9 ft) in length and like to aim for the eyes.

But you’d still rather be bitten by a cobra than THIS deadly mofo:

Venom of the Inland Taipan

Where is it found? the inland taipan is the most venomous snake in the world and lives, YOU GUESSED IT, in Australia, ie the place where everything is designed to kill you. Evolution decided it can reach 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) with a maximum length of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), which I think everyone can agree is a dick move on evolution’s part. Take it back, TAKE IT BACK!!!!!

How it works: the venom contains neurotoxins, hemotoxins, and myotoxins AND an enzyme to increase absorption of the venom. Basically it causes paralysis, blood coagulation and muscle damage, because one of these things wasn’t enough apparently. Antivenoms against Australian venomous snakes exist but are least effective against the venom of the inland taipan.

Toxicity: the inland taipan’s venom has a murine LD50 value of 0.025m/kg. This means there is a 50% chance that .025 milligrams per kilogram of weight will cause death. It’s bite contains enough venom to kill at least 100 adult humans. But GOOD NEWS! the inland taipan lives in such remote places that it rarely comes in contact with people. Other slightly less venomous snakes are therefore responsible for more deaths. ....So that’s...still terrifying. just don’t go into the woods in Australia FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

What’s deadlier than the deadliest snake in the world, you ask?

Tetrodotoxin

Where is it found? tetrodotoxin is found in several animals such as pufferfish, moon snails and the small but deadly Australian blue ringed octopus (DAMMIT Australia)

How it works: blocks sodium channels. This prevents normal transmission of signals between the body and brain, causing loss of sensation, paralysis and inability to breathe. Fun!!! Don’t pick up the frickin evil little octopus

Toxicity: more powerful than cyanide, that’s for sure, about a thousand times more powerful in fact. the oral median lethal dose (LD50) for mice as 334 micrograms per kilogram. Fatal pufferfish poisoning result in death in about 17 minutes. The blue-ringed octopus, however, carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within just a few minutes. There is no anti-venom.

What’s worse than that, you ask? Ah, you shouldn't have asked.

Conotoxin

Where is it found? Cone snails are found in the Indo-Pacific, the Cape of South Africa, the Mediterranean, and even southern California. Smaller species are not that dangerous. Larger species, however...

How it works: paralysis within minutes. cone snails have multiple harpoons to administer venom to prey (or unsuspecting humans). the harpoons deliver a venom that has HUNDREDS of different types of toxins, each targeting different nerve channels or receptors. Some cone snail venom even includes pain-reducing toxins. These pain reducing toxins can be 100 to 1,000 times more powerful than morphine. How THOUGHTFUL.

Toxicity: vastly more potent than tetrodotoxin. the oral median lethal dose (LD50) for mice is is 10 to 100 micrograms/kilogram. So like, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT LOL

Ricin

Where is it found? Ricin is obtained from the beans of the castor oil plant.

How it works: inhibits protein production and results in organ failure, respiratory failure and circulatory shock.

Toxicity: The median lethal dose (LD50) of ricin is around 22 micrograms per kilogram of body weight. If that sounds bad just wait till you hear about poison dart frogs 😭

VX

Where is it found? Nowhere in nature. VX is synthetic. It is an oily amber colored liquid in its natural form, was first developed as a pesticide and later for chemical warfare. It is considered a weapon of mass destruction and is banned under the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.

How it works: causes stimulation and fatigue of muscarinic and nicotinic ACh receptors, resulting in violent contractions followed by paralysis and death by asphyxiation.

Toxicity: 7 micrograms/kilogram. this is one of the most toxic synthetic substances on earth. Humans have got nothing on mother nature though...

Batrachotoxin

(This guy is called phyllobates TERRIBILIS. but is his cute little face terrible? noooo.)

Where is it found? in certain types of beetles, birds and poison dart frogs found in Central and South America.

How it works: similar to conotoxin, batrachotoxin interrupts sodium channels. The resulting migration of Na+ ions causes heart failure and paralysis.

Toxicity: The LD50 is around 2 micrograms per kilogram, meaning that an amount the size of two grains of table salt will kill you, and that this is even worse than a cone snail, Ricin, or VX. Batrachotoxin is one of the deadliest alkaloids known. No antidote exists.

Fun frog fact: this was the poison commonly used by the Embera-Wounaan for poison darts, and that’s where poison dart frogs get their name! How...cute.

Botulinum, most toxic substance in the world

Where is it found? made by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and related species.

How it works: causes Botulism, which if untreated can result in paralysis and respiratory failure by preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Botulinum is used in very very very VEEEEEEERY small amounts in Botox, in case you ever needed reasons NOT to do Botox lol.

Toxicity: the lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 nanograms per kilogram in humans. of any toxin natural or synthetic, this is the deadliest known. However!! Actual good news this time: treatments involving antitoxin therapy and intubation are very successful and mortality from Botulism is extremely low. Yay! 

More good news: toxins have been instrumental in medicinal breakthroughs throughout history and continue to be vital to modern medicine. A drug for diabetes was recently synthesized from Gila monster venom: it increases the production of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. A painkiller has been developed for chronic pain patients that is derived from a component of the venom of our friend, you guessed it, the cone snail! These are just two examples of toxins being used in medicine, and a lot of research is still being done because face it: we still don’t know a lot about how our bodies work. Paralyzing agents are extremely important to our understanding of the body and the development of non-opiate non-addictive painkillers because of how they disrupt signals between nerves and the brain.

Long story short: don’t eat nightshade and stay OFF AUSTRALIAN BEACHES and you should be just fine. 

Oh and your tea is getting cold ;)

[dendotdrabbles]

when i write stuff for the skelebros, i like to use House on lane 66 rules for magic, because i think they're fun. here are my hcs for the skelebros magic colors and smells (and bonus Dusks :])

-the dusks dont have multiverse names yet, so bear with me <3

Undertale Skelebros!

-Classic Sans' magic is prussian blue, and smells like fresh linen. i feel like if you were to kiss him, he'd taste like the smell of warm, fresh linen. if that makes sense? he really loves naps, ok?

-Papyrus (universe nickname is Paprika) his magic is orange (duh) and while i love Lane 66's idea that his magic smells like oatmeal cookies, i think he sees himself as a very energetic tough guy!! so i think his magic would smell like fresh cut grass. if you kissed him, he tastes very herbal. i think he'd joke about his kisses being good for your health. it just feels right.

-Dusk is a patience soul with an integrity twin, which lightens the cyan of patience into a nice sky blue, and their magic smells like coffee. they are a very hardworking person who gets shit done, and likes to have a nice cup of coffee while they work.

(since hybrid magic is purely based on the soul, the color of their magic reflects the state of their soul as well. meaning that all dusks have similar colored magic, due to their almost identical souls. )

Underswap Skelebros!

-Blue. i got tired of the infantilized ideas of blue and classic paps, and i think you can tell. in my brain, Blue's magic is electric blue, and smells like rain. if you kissed him, he'd taste like petrichor.

-Stretch! look, i know we love a sassy skele, but i feel like Stretch is very sweet at heart, he is a papyrus after all. they all had once truly believed that anyone can be a good person, even if that ideal is warped now. anyways, Stretch's magic is amber in color, and smells like dandelions. i bet he'd taste a little floral if you kissed him.

- Swap Dusk is still pretty hardworking, but pushed their efforts in a different direction, instead of leadership, they became an influencer (and they hate it, it feels like lying, but they're trying to sway the people into voting for them) their soul is more patient then their counterparts, leaving them a seafoam blue with magic that smells like Eucalyptus

Underfell skelebros!

-Red. we all know that he's a big ol softie under that gruff exterior, and i think he knows that too. but he doesn't think he's worthy because of the bad things he's done in the past, which is why i think his magic smells like burnt marshmallows. also its red, ofc. i don't think i've seen a fell sans who's magic isn't red.

-Edge! we know him, we love our little tsundere, and i think his magic is blood orange and smells like gunpowder. i think it'd be that color because he feels incredibly guilty for all the lives he's taken, as much as he tries to hide it. i remember a fic I'd read where (i think it was a swapfell fic actually) mutt had drawn every person he'd killed so he wouldn't forget their faces. i think Edge does something similar. not sure what yet tho. maybe he writes letters to them, never to be sent.

-Fell Dusk. they are the General, leader of their district and protector of their people no matter the cost of personal relations. they must be strong and logical at all times, making their soul a shade closer to integrity than the Tale version, a nice cerulean blue with magic that smells like peppermint. sharp and eye watering if used correctly.

Swapfell

-Nox. i feel like his magic is royal purple, and smells like disinfectant. i feel like hes a neat freak because he wants to have control over something in his life, so he cleans nearly obsessively and his magic shows that. i feel like Mutt teases him about it "you clean so much that even your magic is clean!" and Nox doesn't realize he's teasing? so he's all proud of himself. very cute, can you tell i love the swapfell brothers?

- Mutt! or Rus. either or. anyways, his magic is Mulberry in color and smells like cinnamon. where as Lane 66's Mutt smells like cloves (which is a VERY powerful smell, i feel like its very bold and the cloves reflect that version of mutt perfectly) my characterization of mutt isn't as bold, he's more shy around people that aren't his brother or other trusted person, which is why i think cinnamon suits him more than cloves. still "spicy" but more toned down.

-Swapfell Dusk is known as the Guardian, they are not the leader (yet) but are in charge of protecting and providing for everyone, creating a safe space for their people to thrive. ironically, swapfell dusk's soul is the closet to tale's in shade, being a baby blue in color, and their magic smelling like burnt jasmine.

Horrortale

-Bear. we love our boy, but he is very tired and very scared, even if he doesn't show it. his magic is slate grey (with a blue-ish tinge. very subtle tho) and his magic smells like charcoal

-Cook. very sweet soul, in a bad environment which forced him to do bad things to survive. his magic is rust colored, and smells like old books. i feel like when he's overwhelmed or having to do something he doesn't want to do, he retreats into his mind, and pretends he's reading a very scary book.

-Horrortale Dusk is a very sad sight, someone who was once so calm and put together falling apart when their twin and children were killed. they protect their last two loved ones with their life, having no regard for their own safety, and if it came down to it would become their dinner willingly if it meant their survival. since the integrity twin was killed, dusk is nothing but corrupt patience now, their soul being a sickly pale blue and magic smelling like smoke

House on Lane 66 belongs to @oolongteacup426

highly recommend!! its such a great fic <3

[killjoynest]

okay tysm for answering my other question, I've been confused by those timelines forever ! also like.. what happens in national anthem?? 😭 past chapter 4 it gets like super confusing for me.

ok so im going to summarise the whole plot as best i can issue 4 and onwards under the cut xoxo warning for general bitchiness bc jfc dude the comic was not good

so the gang have picked up kara 100/kara jeong, who is at this point injured and seperated from her husband. we get a few panels of The Scarecrow (this doesnt really matter, bc gway does fuck all with it outside of being a figure that chases the gang from this point on). theres an exchange of "you go to hospitals to die" which, ok, but its the lead up for going to see the Phoenix Witch.

we get a look at the B T global/Sterelax company, made up of different people from the old AKA gangs and their whole control over everything is... kind of shown i guess. cut back to the killjoys, we get the incredibly bad taste choice of phoenix witch and theres some weird magic-y shit done to kara to help with mike watching on. Max and Sofia are outside, arguing over if the sterelax sanitising everything is good or bad. They notice Jaime is gone - hes snuck into the cave to see what the phoenix witch is doing. the next pages are confusing, but basically its some weird mindshare thing that somehow clues mike and jaime into the fact mike is jaimes father. and then we get the startof jaime sort of shunning sofia? (like???)

so sofie tries to sneak into B T, theres a facial scanner, weirdly pings her as Maria and before she can really process that she gets caught and jumps out a window. from here is some "the killjoys are hunted" stuff, not really plot relevant tbh. They meet up with the weirdss and find old gear, theres questionable jaime interactions, the Sterelax folks catch up o them, theres a brawl, we get the next location to go to - new york

we get a brief scene of kara and max catching up, sofia and mike arguing about why maria turned up on company files, karas husband turns up but hes brainwashed(?), in a stunning show of fatherly behaviour mike laughs at jaime nearly killing a guy, jaime has a "my real mom" moment, everyone fucks off.

then fight scene -> old radio guy gets killed but like he had no plot relevance so w/e -> scarecrow still alive -> sofia tries to use her powers that dont work without maria but they do rn which! wow!

anyways they get to new york, books on tape guy is like haha before u kill me i have a surprise lol and bring out blue. we get a flashback of when mike fucked off w blues body and then handed it over to books on tape and chose to forget, jaime and mike run to this Maria whos been brought out, sofia rightly is like ok obvs this is fucked and sends kara and max to find mom+dad. they do, find out their conteolled by BT rn, get in a fight w the scarecrow and kill it and pull the plug on m&d. mikes like ready to go along w/ sterelax and the sofias like wake the fuck up man and then mike eventually realises maria is fake.

then he takes the body and... dresses it in the old clothes (thats weird!) and puts his ramones records on (get better taste pls!) and blows uo the car w the body in (my guy one of ur friends has a gunshot wound tf dude. also u drove everyone here).

anyways we get the epilogue which is mike is a manager at a store and lives w jaime and literally none of the other killjoys are mentioned/seen at all. mike watches cop chows and it ends w him and jaime going on a walk. :/

so like yeah genuinely sucked imo but w/e there were colours i guess. eh. weird anti med shit and also? the racism babes.... anyways yeah thats it

[kimhargreeves]

Ok-Saitama x Reader

Summary:You and Saitama are married and enjoying a normal life like anh couple should. He is a superhero and you a stay at home wife. Though being married to him can be a bit stressful and weird.

It was finally a peaceful and sunny afternoon, no villains were around which made me happy since he is always busy fighting off creatures or any other villain in general, just yesterday he was fighting a lobster guy who wouldn't stop messing around with a kid. Saitama was quick to get rid of it with its powers, he can kill off a single being with one punch. Unlike him, I don't have any powers butbi can still kick ass when its needed, there's a reason why I took karate lessons with him. We've both known each other since the last year at middle school and since then we've inseparable, or should I say I was the one constantly followed him. He got tired of me sneaking behind his back and even following him when school would end. Saitami was inside a convenience store, looking between his hands and the frozen food section. He slowly turned to me and caught me. "Why are you following,kid?!" He shouted getting annoyed. I blushed and huffed looking at him. "You're just cool is all! I wanted to properly thank you for saving me back then." I said digging into my backpack and pulled out a bento box I did for him. "What's this?" He asks with no expression on his face when he sees the small box in his open hands. "It's some of your favorite!" I've seen the food he likes so I also started to do them. He opens it and I see an irk on his forehead. I prepared curry but heart shaped. "What's the meaning behind this brat?" I ignore what he called me and smiled. "You saved me from that monster when I got out of school. Can you teach me? I promise I'll leave you alone after you teach me a few moves." I imagine myself fighting off some bad guys,being able to protect myself. Saitama stares at me. "Ok..." I can remember those days clearly. I hum and hear footsteps approaching me, I notice Saitama's messier hair due to hard work. "You finished earlier." Saitama groans and sits next to me. "Well I'm here like you told me, what's up?" We've both been dating for about two years now, I'll admit he might be odd and not the most romantic man in the world, but he makes me extremely happy. He's become a bit bored with his powers since he can't have fun fighting the villains cause he kills them with a single punch. Saitama has told me he wants a different life and adventure. I turn to face him with a smile while he frowns, "Let's get married." I suggest. Saitama turns to stare at me and nods his head, "Ok." *********** Saitama wasn't too good with words no matter how much he wanted to but that was fine! I had no problem with it because i know that loves me. I do wish he could be more vocal about it sometimes, still he does the best he can when it comes to it. I ignored the rumbling around me and the many screams from civilians and continued watering my plants and sighed when I looked up at the sky and saw a bunch of mosquitos. "Will you just kill them already?! You ruined our lunch you pests!!" I shouted angrily and saw a woman like creature emerge from the swarm of insects. "Is that your wife, hero? I gotta say she has awful tastes in men..especially bald guys." "Who you callin' bald?!" Saitama shouted back. I know how much he hates it when people point out his baldness, that always makes him angry so I know he's gonna kill this villain in no time. I rest my head against my hand and watch them both fly away to fight off somewhere else. It's been years now since Saitama and I got married. Nothing much had changed since then, we visit my parents every once in a while and Saitama keeps on being the same guy I fell in love with, I will say more villains have been appearing lately.  I hope nothing bad is happening behind the scenes because this town has had multiple repairs from the many fights we've received..speaking of broken buildings..I glance up and see the now missing roof above my head, the apartment is a mess again. How come the villains know where we live?! When I close my eyes and can't help but begin to cry. I hear someone land and I know its my husband, he defeated that thing quicker than I thought he would. "Hey..What's with the crying?" He asks with the same blunt voice he always uses. I lean closer and rested my head against his shoulder and felt him rubbing my back. "Uhh why are you crying?" I slightly push him and glare at him. "This is the fourth time in a week that someone has broken our roof! I've been doing all the cleaning when it break down so you'll be helping me this time..What's with that weird face?!" I continue to shout and point at him. "Ok. I'll help out."  Saitama grabs the broom that is next to me and ignores my angry expression. "How about we head out and have a proper lunch? Something else than eggs." He suggests looking at me with a sweatdrop on gis forehead. I change my attitude and stare at him ib awe, "Alright. But dont think you can buy your way out of this." I point out to him and see my husband continuing to brush the floor. "I'm not planning to." I smirk and rest my hand on my hip. Saitama knows how angry and scary I can get but that still doesnt bother, scare him or even faze him in the slightest. ************** I stood still and was face to face with a an unknown man. We had a some sort of staring contest and it was making me feel nervous, why isn't he blinking?! "Umm Saitama?!" I shout as I stand by the door and finish putting my slippers aside. "Over here." I hear his voice which isn't far. We have a very small apartment with just one room and the living room and kitchen connected. "Master who is she? Is she a threat?" The unknown man quickly asks. I hurry to Saitama's side and sat down next to him, he was focused on the anime on screen, about a young school boy who has superpowers and gets even stronger when he displays emotion. 100 something is the name,I've seen a few episodes of of it. "Who's he?" "Who's she?" We both ask at the same time and continue staring at each other. "She's (Y/N), my wife." Saitama boredly says doesn't look at our guest.  "Wife? I never expected someone to have such affection for you, master." "What does that suppose to mean?!" Saitama finally raises his voice. I lean my head on his shoulder and can feel him trying to push me away, he's feeling embarrassed. "Hello. It's nice to see that Saitama has a friend." "We're not friends." He tells me but I ignore him. "I'm Genos." The android says and seems taken back when I raise my hand up for him to shake. "Master, what should I do?" "It's a handshake you idiot and I'm not your master." Saitama rests onto the floor and keeps looking at the tv. "Do you both live here on your own? Dont you have children?" I quickly look back and see Saitama gripping onto a book tightly. I smile warmly at Genos since he doesn't know much. "Like Saitama said, it's a handshake. Usually people do that when they meet each other or hug when they are close friends." Genos nods his head and shakes my hand now. "I would like to be that, friends. Master, you never told me how nice (Y/N)." We look back at Sai and see him nodding off. "Yeah well she usually is when she's not angry."  I turn to face Genos again and still smile. "So,Genos? What brings you here?" "Master said he would train me to become stronger!'  I can see the enthusiasm in the young man. I've never met someone like him, or well I did. I glance to see my husband beginning to fall asleep.  When Saitama started his career as a superhero he used to be like Genos, excited, alive and wanting to protect people. Now he just does it for the sake of it, but what else can i say. I dont have his power. "Master told me to run along and leave him around." I hear Genos inform me. I hum to myself and glance at both men. "Sai, are you going to train him? Genos, I mean." I hear him fake a snore. I call out his name again and see him open his eyes, now looking at me with sharp eyes and serious face. "Training Genos will do you well I am sure of it. I want you to go out and have fun, I don't know what you might consider as fun but I don't want to see you just being crammed up here with me. Don't get me wrong I love you a lot and having our fun, but I want to see you go out. So, what do you say?" Saitama looks away from us and places a warm blanket on top of him. "Ok." I furrow my eyebrows since he always gif me the same answer when he doesn't wanna say much. I clap my hands together and cheer as I crawl over to him. "Thank you so much, Sai." I grab his face and plant a quick kiss on his lips. Saitama groans and went back to his hiding. Genos looks away and I can see his pale cheek turn a bit red. Maybe now Saitama will agree and we can all train together and have fun.

[imhaitusncarnate]

I have very mixed feelings on that aot ending

Ok so the politics of Attack on Titan have been discussed by a lot of people, some of whom have a very surface- level understanding of the story. I would like to start by giving my disclaimer that Attack on Tiatan ABSOLUTELY isn’t fascist, its anti racism, anti bigotry and anti discrimination themes are extremely apparent in it’s examination of the Eldians inside Marley, and fascist views held by characters such as Gabi are explicitly condemned in the text and made clear to be misguided and false. 

I would now like to draw everyone’s attention to the openings of seasons 1 and 2. 

Images like these combined with lyrics like these:

You pigs who sneer at our will to step over corpses and march onwards Enjoy the peace of livestock false prosperity "freedom" of the dying wolves that hunger

We dedicate and sacrifice our hearts

And also the use of german lyrics:

Sie sind das Essen und Wir sind die Jaeger! (they are the food and we are the hunters)

O, mein Freund! Jetzt hier ist ein Sieg. Dies ist der erste Glorie. O, mein Freund! Feiern wir diesen Sieg, für den nächsten Kampf!

(O, my friend! Now, here is a victory. This is the first glory. O, my friend! Let us celebrate this victory for the next battle!)

This is the stuff that lead me to believe that this is a deliberate use of fascist imagery. If the show just wanted to go for a militaristic vibe for the aesthetic of it, references this explicit to fascist propaganda and the use of German lyrics was not necessary. Also, lines like this:

And plenty of evidence that things were not what they seemed it the world of aot and that the overly simplistic view of good vs evil (humans vs the titans) was incorrect led me to believe that Attack on Titan was a deliberate deconstruction. That it was putting the audience into the mindset of the fascists to pull the rug from under their feet later. And I was right. Sort of.

As the story progresses, the world becomes a more and more complex political landscape and we are led to believe that this black and white mentality is wrong. We are also informed that the people who can transform into titans, the Eldians, are an opressed minority, explicitly paralleled to the Jews during nazi Germany, from their living in internment camps, to them being called devils, to their armbands, to a large number of them (our heroes) being confined in an island with walls circling them, which is revealed by Isayama to be Madagascar. The island that the nazis originally meant to confine the Jewish population in before arriving at the conclusion that that would be too costly, and that genocide was preferable. 

This is the first of the story’s mixed metaphors. While the show’s heart is in the right place, being sympathetic to the Eldians and showing their plight under marleyan opression and persecution, there is one problem. The reason for the opression of the Eldians is because the world is afraid of their power, as they are a race with the ability to transform into titans. There is, therefore, a tangible, justification for their internment. The Jews were not in any conceivable way a danger to anyone, they were simply scapegoated for the complex socioeconomic problems of Germany in the time period. Also, if we take a look at those openings again, we observe that the Eldians (our main characters) who wish to free themselves from their shackles are framed as fascists. So... what is that saying?

 The idea, as I see it, is that the story is condemning fanaticism in general, as a biproduct of a militaristic black and white worldview. The monstrous titans that our (framed as fascist) heroes fight against are revealed to be human, just like them.

The same is the case for the Eldian “devils” that the Marleyans fight against. Gabi, the character who is most fanatically against Eldians (despite being an Eldian herself) is comfronted with the humanity of the people she hates once she gets to know them.

Again, Isayama’s heart is on the right place here, trying to condemn bigotry, however the explicit referencing of history is the imagery is kind of misplaced, for the reasons I previously mentioned. Now let’s have a look at Eren Yeager.

Eren starts the story as a kind of messed up kid. He kills the human traffickers who kidnapped Mikasa while screaming:

I mean, in this case he is certainly justified, but his rage and anger are definitely not normal for a child his age.

This is Eren. He can’t stand injustice when he sees it. And injustice is what happens to him when the titans attack. His already fiery attitude and mindset is what leads him to this declaration of revenge:

That side of Eren is visible throughout the story and it’s foreshadowing for what he will later become

Eren, however, is a natural product of his environment. Ravaged by socioconomic inequality, with the rich living in the centre of the walls and the poor living in the outskirts, constantly under the threat of the titans and unable to obtain any kind of freedom, Eren’s philosophy of the need to be strong to overcome one’s enemies makes sense. The mantra “the strong prey on the weak”, that he ends up teaching Mikasa (another allusion to fascist ideology) is a biproduct of the world he lives in. He does not know of the political intricasies outside the walls. All he knows is he must kill the titans.

Eren’s titan is described as the “manifestation of humanity’s rage. It is huge and monstrous, and could be seen as a metaphor for vengeful hatred in general. Keep that in mind, it’s relevant for the ending.

This manufactured and false black and white worldview shapes him as a character, and it’s what eventually, after the arrival at the much desired ocean, leads him to this:

“Will we finally be free?”

In the continuation of the story, Eren falls toward the dark side more and more, to the point of committing atrocities and war crimes that are explicitly framed as being similar to what he suffered as a child (see his actions in Liberio). He even acknowledges that, telling Reiner, the person who committed said war crimes against him, that he essentially has no hard feelings and understands that the two of them are similar, doing what “needs to be done”. The character of Gabi, who, after what happens in Liberio, becomes obsessed with revenge against the Eldian “devils” is meant to be a foil for Eren, and his obsession with killing the titans after what happened to him. 

Extremely interesting is the way in which certain ideas and images are flipped in the later seasons. Namely, in season 4, we see a character who idolizes Mikasa and supports Eren’s plans in a scene where she spouts the same mantra of “the strong prey on the weak” and says that Mikasa saving her is what showed her that only with strength she can defeat her enemies. Mikasa tells her to shut up, and she proceeds to do the salute, that has been so glamorized by the show’s openings thus far. Now, it is done by a person from a military faction with a fanatic worldview. The direction doesn’t glamorize it at all. It is a nuanced, almost masterful deconstruction. 

Levi, who has always looked for reasons for why his comrades had t die, justifying their heroism and convincing himself that their deaths were not pointless, ends up here:

At this point, I was in love with Attack on Titan. From here, it only figures that Eren ends up attempting a genocide of the people outside the walls. He has essentally become what he hated the most, and he’s a natural result of the world that created him. Despite his noble intentions, he has turned into a monster. Mikasa, the prerson who loved him the most, completes her character arc by killing him, thus rejecting her blind devotion to him and being free, while at the same time continuing to love the person he once was. It’s a sad and tragic ending, painting Eren as a tragic character and making a pretty strong political point, despite having a few mixed metaphors.

And then, chapter 139 came out...

And Eren apparently pulled a Lelouch. This is a “I purposfully turned myself into a monster to save the world and make my friends into heroes for killing me” kind of thing. It is important to state that the manga makes it clear that Eren would have trampled the world even if they didn’t stop him, because of his urge to be free. However, that urge, that fighting spirit, end up being a good thing. The death of our heroes in battle apparently wasn’t pointless after all. They say goodbye with a salute

The Yeagerists, who were previously framed as fanatics, end up in charge of the government

It is important to state that the real event, the catalyst of the ending, is that killing Eren, who has turned himself literally into the manifestation of humanity’s rage (which has now, through the intricacies of the story, taken the political meaning of hatred and intergenerational trauma), eliminates the power of the titans. The titans are no more. This, in of itself, is good, and in keeping with the spirit of the political commentary thus far. However, the war, is still not over, and Eren’s mantra ends up being correct

So the only way for the war to end is one of the races to be wiped out? 

Also, despite Eren’s genocide being wrong, it is, in the end, justified, as a necessary evil by the story. An Ozymandias kind of moment in which the ends justify the means, but Eren himself has to die, because his crime was too great for him not to suffer punishment. Essentially, this chapter undoes all of the insightful commentary the story had made so far, by proving the ideology of its main character right. Story- wise this isn’t a bad ending, but if we take into account the political references the series has made, and its desire to explicitly tie itself with such imagery makes the ending leave a really bad taste in my mouth. What it essentally says, is that, yes, bigotry and racism are bad, yes, blind hatred is bad, but the general idea of might makes right and the impossibility of reconciliation are true. Armin, who has, throughuout the story, been Eren’s opposite, in terms of looking for peaceful solutions to conflict is rendered meaningless in the end, because him alongside with the other characters were all playing into Eren’s plans. The hearts of our main characters as recruits were in the right place, their fighting spirit admirable, and the overall worldview we are presented with in the beginning of the story remains more or less unchallenged. 

So where does that leave this imagery?

The conclusion is that one must think very carefully before including allegory in their work. I am not accusing Isayama for fascism, and I appreciate the efforts at deconstructing it throughout the story. However, in the end he did an oops I accidentally justified the mentality I was trying to condemn. I still like Attack on Titan, I believe it has artistic value and is overall a pretty good anime, I even agree with its politics to an extent. However, it is very important to critically examine the things we like, and see where they may have gone south. And this ending is that for me.
