#your fav power couple killing people together

[ideasarestuckinmyhead]

I neeeeeeed more y!Rook and y!Auron, I am obsessed with them!!! What if Elisabeth and Ricardo (if the guys didn't end up killing him) teamed up to try and separate Rook an Auron? They know they can't break them up from the outside, so they try to break them up from the inside

They plant things here and there to try and get one of them to think they're cheating on the other, but Rook and Auron know the other loves them too much to cheat so Elisabeth and Ricardo's plan fails >:3c

Pathetic obsession

Rook was starting to get pissed off by the things they've been finding in Auron's office. Flowers, Chocolates, and letter's from this other 'lover' he has Rook scoft the first time seeing them really ANOTHER person obsessed with THEIR partner? But as they looked at it they connected dots that it was definitely Elizabeth trying something again. Rolling their eyes they thought nothing of it when they trashed the gifts for Auron, he'd rather not deal with this he's still busy with another project.

On the other hand the red head in question was glaring at pictures sent to him by someone. It wasn't one of his people and that set off one warning sign, so looking at the picture he say Rook and another man kissing. He's seen the man before obviously from insensitively researching about Rook and everyone they knew in case he needed it to keep them with him. It was an ex of their's that was a total dick to them, he gotten rid of him a while ago and was confused seeing a picture like this.

His mind went back to Ricardo, so since he couldn't take Rook from him that man is trying to break them up? Laughing a bit Auron set the picture on fire, he knew if his lover saw it they would have a fit seeing them kissing another man that treated them wrong. Grabbing his phone he stated to text Rook to come to him that they needed to talk about something. Smirking as he got a immediate text back with hearts Auron placed his phone down and thought of where those other two could be.

After greeting Trish with a smile Rook entered the meeting room Auron was still in. The man gave them a smile and pushed his chair back for them to come to him. Slowly walking to him they smiled at how Auron couldn't stand not touching them.

"So, love what happened?" Getting comfy on Auron's lap Rook laid their head on his shoulder. They felt him wrap a arm around them and sighing deeply before answering their question.

"It seems two people didn't take my threats seriously." Hissing out as he took a deep breath to calm himself. His scowl turned soft when Rook placed a hand on his chest and looking up at him with dangerous eyes.

"Auron, why can't they just see that we don't want them? Can't they see how were so right together?" Pouting Rook glared at the floor breaking eye contact that Auron still wanted. The head head sighed and leaned his head on their's trying to make them not so annoyed with the situation.

"I should have killed them, that's on me dear. But don't worry they'll be dealt with. How about a date to ease your mind?" Trying to lighten the mood Auron thought of different places they could go to. Maybe the club again or a restaurant they wanted to try together? This pulled a smile on Rook's face they reached up and kissed Auron's cheek.

"That would be nice." Happiness was in their tone which made Auron feel more happy as well. The two turned and kissed each other sadly had to break it because Auron got a phone call. The ring made both of them a bit annoyed but Auron picked it up.

"Yes?" Hissing out the words as he didn't like his time with his partner being interrupted. On the other side he was told that they found the two people obsessing over them and wanted to know what the teams next move should be. Rook looked pleased and whispered to Auron of different torturing methods he could use, this caused him to smile as he told his team to do them all.

"Maybe then it'll go through their think skulls that they had a pathetic obsession." Darkly saying as he got a 'Yes sir.' in return. Hanging up Auron turned to Rook, "Don't worry it'll be handled swiftly and quickly." Another kiss between the two started and got a little frisky, but sadly once again there was a interruption.

The legal team needed their leader to help with a situation that happen with a client throwing a bottle at someones head for touching their friend. It was their most popular one something with Star, who really preferred working with Rook. Grumbling Rook got off Auron's lap and sighed, "Sorry I have to go or else Star will cause a ruckus. See you tonight?" Auron nodded and gave Rook a parting kiss.

Probably Can I Break Down Your Walls? There’s so many ups and downs in that fic but like the ending is so cute and cheesy

8. Do you get hate on any fics?

Not a lot but I’ve definitely got a weird comment or two, I can definitely write some darker themes and people have been weird about it once or twice but it’s praise and support 99% of the time

Ya, def grew into that, wasn’t something I touched in the beginning of writing fic, but like the last few years she’s become more prominent

I feel like I could work on like making things more realistic, I feel like I always make endings perfect and don’t allow for like human error/nuance all the time.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue language in fic?

I have before sparingly, it’s not really my fav, I took 5 years of Spanish in high school…but still can’t w correct grammar/phrasing so I don’t really attempt it

Hate to admit it but the first fic I wrote was like 2013 about Demi/Selena on wattpad and I was down bad

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

This is hard, I love a lot of my one-shots but I feel like the longer chaptered fics were truly like a labor of love especially with how many times I wanted to quit them. Soooo probably Purple Hurts But Blue Stings Worse or Behind Closed Doors

Some jumbled up thoughts about Elain, Lucien and Azriel + Mating Bonds

There have been a lot of conversations regarding this topic and I thought I’d flesh it out a bit myself, but these are facts/observations that as a fandom many have noticed, discussed, analysed. I just wanted to dive in myself fully.

I want to talk about each of them individually as well as, as a whole. Their emotions and mindsets, as someone who loves all three characters and wishes for all of them to get a happy ending. I will preface this with saying I will be discussing why it is very likely Elain will reject the bond and such things, so along the lines of Anti-Elucien. If you are a fan of them, thats cool, just skip this one if you happen upon it. 

We are going to dive in to the following;

Lucien & Elain  (their choices)

Lucien & Azriel  (contrast)

Rejecting the Bond

New Bonds

Fate & THE POV 

and why the writing is basically telling us everything we need to know...

Lucien 

Lucien is noble male, he has a good heart and has suffered his plenty, and this is why people want what is best for him, to be the happiest he can... Unfortunately I think that in this case Elain is not it. 

He is right to feel that way, just as Elain has a right to feel as she does. I think it is incredibly interesting that when we finally see from his POV we see that in a way he feels as though this has been thrust on them. 

That with his last love he had a choice and so did she.

It reminds me very much of this line about Rhysand’s parents, who were an example of an unhappy mating bond.

We will deep dive in to wrong matches further down, but the fact is that mated couples are not always indicators of true paired souls, that they very well could be the couple that do not end up happy together.

I speak on Elain and her agency a lot because I feel like a large portion of the fandom like to discard it as if it means nothing, and even judge her for it but if we actually take a look at Lucien’s behaviour he is not all that more happy.

There are some key differences between them though, Lucien as a male feels their bond to a different degree than she does, and he also has been raised to believe and respect the bond. And thus he feels a certain obligation to honour it in the best way he can. 

This doesn’t mean he thinks she is right for him, any further than his attraction to her (which like same dude same), he hasn’t displayed any signs that they actually aline as a couple. And I feel like SJM clearly highlights this when she sets examples of his gifts not being... well right for her. 

The gloves we know she never wears show us how little they know each other as she loves to get dirty [which Feyre had told him] and the pearl necklace is then contrasted by Azriels which was very personalised to Elain. 

(The rose, the secret beauty of it hitting the light etc...)

These are all deliberate moves by Sarah to showcase their misaligned bond.

And during Elain’s section I will also be pointing out some Lucien moments that really don’t read well for him. I genuinely believe he is much happier amongst the Band of Exhiles than he is when he is seen with The Inner Circus.

Elain

Here is the thing, this situation isn’t any easier on him that’s true but people need to respect Elains feelings, and the fact is she does not like him. Not only does she not like him but she shrinks in on herself, she looses all the progress and confidence she has made since the Cauldron. That is not a good sign of anything healthy.

If this is suppose to be a romance we root for why is she doing everything in her power to make it seem the opposite? If she genuinely was playing the long game she would have at least started to make them comfortable around each other, goodness they don’t even have to talk, but she does the opposite.

She emphasises that he brings out the bad in her. Again, no bueno. She quite simply does not want to be around him and with SJM’s writing I think this is highly deliberate on her part. 

[And let’s be clear there are countless quotes from the other books that do NOT reflect well on their relationship but I am trying to stick to ACOSF, as it is her most recent work, otherwise I would be here all day.] 

Rejecting the Bond

We have almost a two page discussion on why mating bonds are not an exact science, and that they can be more harmful than good. We are given two examples of it, with both Rhys’ and Tamlin’s parents. And then we get a very subtle hit at Azriel. This is all in the book Sarah said she began planting the seeds for the sisters journeys.

We also know from this there is a choice. But that many force it, because they feel it it right, (much like Lucien is probably doing right now, because he feels a duty and hope that it will work out.)  

Then we have the fact thrown at us that a lot of males believe that their mate belongs to them and will challenge the other male, which we now have a call back to with Rhys’ mentioning “The Blood Duel”. 

There is literally not one reason Sarah would put this in TWICE only for it never to happen or come close too happening. How anyone can question at this point that Elriel will happen is confusing to me, she has laid all the groundwork for it.

Now I don’t believe for a second that Lucien wouldn’t respect her choice, I think it will most certainly come down to Beron forcing his hand to wage the war we know he wants.

I think despite what Rhys said in Azriel’s POV under immense stress, TNC will protect Elain and ultimately stand by her decision. 

Not only does ACOSF spend a great deal of time creating a further divide between Elain & Lucien it also add a shockingly large quantity of easter eggs about “Elain choosing bonds” “Other Mate” “What if it chose wrong?” and again in this book like in ACOMAF we bring back up a failed mated pair to remind you of it’s existence.

All possible signs lean towards them breaking the bond.

And frankly from a storytelling perspective having three perfect bonds that are basically the same overarching love story (enemies to lovers) is boring, she would want to shake it up and throw a little curveball.

Lucien + Azriel  &  Why I think Azriel will have a bond with Elain.

“If anyone can sense if something is amiss, it’s a mate” And low and behold it is Azriel who figures out what was going on with her. Not to mention in the reveal SJM further displays that Lucien has no clue what was going on with her.

I don’t know what bridge holds their bond but I wouldn’t trust crossing it personally... :/

Further still, Lucien cannot hear her heart. Their bond is definitely not strong but you could also argue that is not an element of the bond at all but rather of her abilities perhaps. Since we know she could hear the sea too though it was nowhere close by.

But Azriel did hear her, he did pay attention and he figured out what was amiss. 

It is interesting to me that people took such issue with this when I believe very few have issues with Rhys or Cassian fighting for their respective partners. Now I have gone in to it in depth about how I think that this was pure emotion and illogical on Azriel’s part, and I don’t believe he would kill Lucien so carelessly.

I think it speaks to the same blind emotion a lot of them have displayed for their mates, Lucien may have wanted to see if she was worth it but Azriel knows she is worth the fight.

And for all intensive purposes in that moment he was willing to fight for someone he believes shares his feelings.

Now let’s tackle the whole “Possessive” crap.

First of all, all of the male pairings in this series have shown moments like this, so if it is bothering you here why isn’t it bothering you at other points?

Lucien has been just as instinctively possessive from their bond, and let me clarify, I am not shaming him for that anymore than anyone else. What I am pointing out is the double standard, if anything Azriel has more reason to feel like he can fight for her because she has actually shown him care, interest and attraction. 

They have actually bonded a lot more than she has with Lucien thus far.

And if they truly do have an upcoming bond then judging him on three paragraphs when we don’t know what the heck is going on is just ridiculous.

On the same note of that scene, let’s talk about “deserve”

First of all he never said he deserved her, Rhys implied that is what he was gleaning from the conversation and that it is just lust, which we know is not the case. Clearly Rhys perception is not accurate at all so to take his statement at face value and call it fact is a bit disingenuous.

Azriel wasn’t claiming he deserves her, did you read his POV at all?? He didn’t even feel like his hands should touch her let alone deserve her. Please go back and read that chapter again if you can’t see that.

Not to mention I think that the idea of FATE, and believing in hope even when the odds are stacked against you (AKA her having a mate) is actually very consistent with SJM storytelling and Az. Remember this;

The fact that he is hopeful despite the despair of his situation is exactly what people have valued about him. Not to mention after Rhys says this to Azriel he says to them;

So Rhys too believes they were brought in his family for a reason, some sort of fate.

Amren too thinks they are blessed by fate. Why is it so shocking and offensive that Azriel have a little hope that there is a reason they came in to their lives? Because he isn’t with your fav?

Let’s be honest he didn’t exactly get over Mor in ACOMAF, ACOWAR and then even ACOFAS there are slight moments, thats over a long period. Three sisters didn’t just arrive and he went TAG “I want one.”

No, he genuinely grew to care for Elain, and let go of his past, and in watching Elain not find any connection with her mate he saw it as a sign that the Cauldron was wrong, which we know it can be. 

I don’t know if people are selective readers but if you think that he doesn’t care for her as a person beyond being a “sister” I don’t know what to tell you, we are not reading the same books.

ANYWAYS back on topic.

I think Sarah has laid a lot of groundwork for her breaking the bond and perhaps choosing a new one. I know not everyone is keen on another bond as they feel her free will and choice is enough, that’s fair and I agree to a point. 

I just wanted to analyse the data at hand, and I do believe after ACOSF (I never thought it prior really) that they are mates in some capacity, whether that is because of the Cauldron or something that will occur... I think she has laid enough groundwork for them being Soulmates at the least. Hence why I love the idea of a Carranam bond.

There are so many parallels between Rhys, Cassian & Az that could be taken as little signs but honestly this is long enough I am sure you all want to kill me already for making you read all that hahaha 

One last little morsel, it very well might be nothing but Az shouting after they take Elain is an interesting choice, it’s ambiguous enough that you can take it to mean the pain but it could also be another little crumb.

Basically with all said and done I think she will give Elain her agency back and break it.

And potentially something will occur with Azriel as a result but thats certainly more grey than the rest of it.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk!

Obviously, to each their own opinion, have fun and ship whatever you want these are just my thoughts on the text at hand!

(Also I am sorry I got like 20+ messages to get to in my inbox, yeah I kinda ignored everyone and worked on this today, sorry!!! I’ll be back tomorrow)

Choices Fandom Shoutout Day❤

First and foremost, loads and loads of thanks to @choicesfandomappreciation and @lovealexhunt for organizing this beautiful week of appreciating and expressing gratitude to all those who do so much for the community and make it a better place. Dani, you are an amazing human being and consider this a shoutout to you because without all your content, challenges, and events, this fandom wouldn't be what it is. So thank you very very much❤

For the rest of the amazing people, I am going to put everything under the cut (also a fair warning, there are going to be A LOT of hearts and I apologize in advance). So without wasting any time and in no particular order whatsoever, let's get started!:

I would like to begin by shouting out to my dearest soul sis @neotericthemis. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without you. Detectives by Chance is a series I hold close for a variety of reasons, and one of them is that it was the series that brought you to my life. I still remember when sometimes you would be the single reblog on my rambles and for me that one would be enough. Your words have motivated me to not give up, many times, and I don't think I have words apt to tell you just how much I love you and just how grateful I am for you. Thank you so so sooo much for everything, my sweetheart, I don't know what I would do without you❤

@maurine07 My dearest Maurine!!! You are such a gem, and there won't be a day when I won't say it to you. Your reblogs put me in a dilemma whether to laugh or cry with happiness. I treasure them so much. The way you catch the littlest of things and make sure to quote it back and put such lovely comments along with them make it a joy to read your reblogs (They also makes me fall short of words that can make an apt reply). I am so so soo very grateful for you, thank you so much for everything my dearest❤

The way you have been one of the strongest pillars of this fandom increases my respect and adoration for you by ten folds.

I just saw Doctor Strange 2 it was epic! Sorry im gonna have to yell about it

Spoilers below!

[Ok first im a normie mcu movie-only fan but i do frequent comic discussions so i know some things]

DS2 has been my most anticipated phase 4 marvel movie. I went into it 100% for doctor strange cause he's my fav character. Im not that huge about wanda sorry so i wont have much opinion on her,,, I won't lie i was quite worried for this movie with all the delays and reshoots, not to mention early reviews/reactions seems rather "mixed" so my expectations are kept in check Things i wanted to see before going into the movie: -Better magic fight. Frankly the magic in DS1 was rather meh. But they have been powering him up for the past couple movies so i had high hopes -Strange not getting overshadowed by Wanda and cameos -Better magic. Seriously i just want to see some cool magic. See that cool Strange vs Thanos battle in Infinity war? I just want an entire movie of that 💀 And they delivered! The magic was much more creative and varied! No more boring fistfight (except for that one scene where they literally cant use magic lol) A huge huge upgrade over the first movie. The music battle with darkhold strange (idk what to call him) was incredible! And when zombie strange turning the spirits into a cape. Metal af!! (Im gonna have to draw that someday). The magic in this movie is absolutely eye candy! Also holy fuck this movie is brutal i can't believe its PG-13. Black bolt head just fucking pop and Reed Richard is just shredded like spaghetti and its clearly see on screen. Rip all the parents bringing their kids into this movie I know many people are disappointed that the Illuminati were taken out so quick but im not a comic book reader so i wasn't obsessed over these cameos. Tho Professor X in that yellow chair was so funny i cant get the mental image of him rolling around in it during the battle with thanos out of my head So for the characters. Strange did get huge character development and i think he was really well written. I love the whole thing of him being able to accept that he doesnt always have to be the one wielding the knife. Christine role was very good too and im so glad she didnt give Strange a goodbye kiss at the end. Really like that last scene where Strange repaired the watch to show that he was finally able to move on too. Im very very glad that they didnt get back together at the end -The new character America Chavez i love her! I've only known her for 2 hours but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself. She punch star portals. Coolest thing ever! Needs more development in the future tho -Wanda. Im not wanda stan so i dont mind whatever role she's playing in this movie. I think she was a good villain. Tho im actually glad that it was the darkhold that corrupts her because going from wandavision to murdering a bunch of people is way too steep of a character turn -Wong my beloved! I was so scared they're gonna kill him off to make Strange the sorcerer supreme but im glad they didnt. He was really funny in this movie and i love the banter with strange as usual. There's that scene in Kamar Taj where he yells "FORTIFY YOUR MIIIIIND!!!!!" was so hilarious to me -Mordo (838) he doesnt really do anything. But im glad they didnt kill off og mordo like some leaks said -Who is that green minotaur i want to know moreee

Visual-wise this movie looks way better than most mcu movies. Lots of more interesting shots and better color grading. Tho some of the transition scenes are really goofy like that one going from Wanda's apple field and fading to Wong face lmao. And Raimi really loves eye closeup huh

Hm hm what else? Yeah the post credit. Im sorry I know many comic fans are very excited for Clea but that scene has strong "it's me blorko" energy skskskks. Anyways idk anything about her but she seems very cool and im excited to see her in the future I think the pacing in this movie is a bit too cramped. Def needs some extra minutes in some place like the beginning to kamar taj fight

Side note, this movie has a B+ Cinemascore (which is a rating system used in box office community to represent the casual general audience opinion). The only other B range mcu movies are Thor 1 (B+) and Eternals (B). Im honestly baffled that people like thor 2 (A-) and black widow (A-) more than this 💀 Overall good movie, better than NWH for me!

[canonicallysoulmates]

Just saw your post about the post phase 1 Marvel movies and the meme you used for CA:CW. So I'm here to ask and get you cancelled. What did you think about the movie? Are you Team Stark or Team Rogers?

........................................................I knew this day would come......okay, let's get me cancelled!

I hate this movie, I hate this movie with every fiber of my being. Watching it was torture, it as the longest 20hrs of my life. It was like living out one of those very confusing math problems I started this movie at 10am somehow 6pm rolls around and there are still 2hrs left! Coño cómo?! I watched this with my mom, and when we checked how much time was left we were left looking at each other like 'que carajo what twilight zone bullshit is this?' It's one of those Marvel movies that I am so glad I did not waste my money on, I wish I could get a refund for my time but I made my choice and I shall now have to deal with it.

I hate this movie for many reasons but I'm not gonna make y'all wait any longer for what you're really here for because I know what y'all really want to know is whether I am Team Iron Man or Team Captain America. When it comes to the political aspects ie. the Accords, I am Team Neither.

Now, I cannot get into a comprehensive debate about the Accords because the writers did a shitty ass job, in a 2 and a 1/2 hour movie that felt like a lifetime, at explaining what exactly the Accords are in the movie universe. Emphasis on the movie universe, because I have seen debates go on in this motherfucking fandom where some people will bring up aspects from the comics Registration Acts but we're not talking about the comics okay, we're talking about the movies! And they're two fucking different things! And the movie did a shitty ass job at explaining what the Accords are, and that's one of the reasons I hate this movie: that it's so badly written.

But back to the point, which is where I stand on the teams when it comes to the politics, I am Team Neither because ultimately they were both idiots on how they handled this, and I think they both have good points like yes the Avengers and other superheroes should 100% be held accountable if they fuck up, the fact that they are superheroes and the "good guys" doesn't mean that their actions shouldn't have consequences but at the same time Steve's mistrust of the government and concerns that the team and others could be weaponized are also valid so I think they both have good points when it comes down to it and the smart thing to do - and in my opinion what would have made a much better film- would have been to come together and make like a counterproposal, decide on amendments, try to ensure they can get a representative so they have a voice on the table.

So, there you go when it comes to the Accords I am Team Neither however when it comes to the characters and their actions I am 1,000% Team Tony. At the end of the day he wanted to do what was best for both people and for his team, he wanted to keep the team together because he knew they were stronger together, and he was thinking long term not short term.

And then there's Steve who is an asshole in this film and completely lacks self awareness, cause there's a scene in the film after they've found out about the Accords where Steve goes "that's because he already made up his mind" about Tony and I'm just like bitch so did you, pot meet kettle, Rogers you knew from the get go that you weren't going to sign those papers don't go acting different and then like- here's the thing Steve has some very good points when it comes to the Accords but one of his points is that the UN is filled with people with agendas and agendas change which true but also motherfucker you yourself have an agenda! The whole Sokovia mess is an example that they cannot be trusted to hold themselves or each other accountable because inevitably the time will come where they'll want to protect their team mate like we see in this movie Steve do with Bucky, or how he wanted to protect Wanda because he looks at her as if she were a child not an adult. Steve, you lot are not exempt from having your own agendas and biases.

And through pretty much the entire movie, he has this whole my way or the highway attitude like this man does not know the meaning of compromise in this film, and he has such tunnel vision for Bucky- and listen! listen, listeeeeeen, I get it, I don't judge Steve for making his bestie a priority; I understand that Bucky is incredibly important to Steve, that he's the one person who's gonna look at him as just Steve and not as the Steve Rogers, I get that he carries a guilt over what happened to his friend, I understand he misses him, I understand all of that and respect the ride or die game but goddamn he was so focused on being a good friend to Bucky that he forgot about everyone and everything else and was a shit friend to Tony.

Actually a lot of people in this film were shit to Tony for no goddamn reason but Steve was such a shitty friend not telling Tony about his parents, that was a shitty ass thing to do and listen! I know what some of y'all are thinking you're thinking some version of 'he wanted to protect Tony' shut the fuck up. No, no, that's an excuse and it's a cheap one, you know damn well that was a shitty thing for Steve to do and y'all know damn well you would have reacted the same way Tony did if someone who you thought was your goddamn friend knew about something horrible that happened to people that were important to you and they never told you; that kind of shit hurts, and finding out someone you thought of as a friend doesn't care about you as much as you care about them hurts.

And y'all know goddamn well how emotions work, you know emotions aren't gonna wait for the rational brain to kick in don't some of y'all go playing dumb as if you didn't know this shit. Same way deep down all of y'all know Tony was holding his punches, that man gave Thanos a fight and got some blood if he had wanted to kill Bucky he would have. Don't none of y'all motherfuckers try to play games and act like you don't know this info.

Steve was a shit friend to Tony. Period. The least he could have done is have some empathy or compassion towards Tony when he saw his parent's being killed- and I swear to motherfucking god to the person who is getting close to their keyboard thinking of saying he showed compassion by not killing him back the fuck away from your motherfucking keyboard what did I tell you about playing stupid, this is properly tagged, stay in your fucking lane. Some of y'all be acting as if it were still 2016 and we're gonna be talking about that too, anon wanted my opinion on this film so now I'm going off.

Back to what I was saying, in some ways Steve wasn't a perfect friend to Bucky either cause he kept looking at Bucky and thinking of the guy he used to know but Bucky's not that person anymore, he's been through a lot of shit and it feels at times like Steve didn't fully realize that.

I hate Steve in this movie, I wanna punch him in the throat; he's an ass, he thinks he's above the rules, he's unaware of his own flaws, he might be a good friend to Bucky but that's it. I don't blame Steve though I blame the writers cause they're the ones who wrote him this way; moving on from Steve, I wanna talk about Wanda real quick, I don't hate the character of Wanda but I do hate the way she was written in this film, I hate that the writers expect us as an audience to look at this adult and think of her as a defenseless child who should be exempt from consequences, I hate that instead of actually doing something with her and exploring some interesting dynamics they just give her an AI boyfriend and a pinterest quote which sounds nice but falls flat especially considering she says said quote as she uses her powers (which is what people are afraid of) to send her love interest down several floors of a building. They could have done so many cool and interesting things with her, shame they didn't.

Another thing I hate about this film is what it did to the fandom, and how it was promoted because it was very much promoted as a pick your fighter, pick a side type of movie and after this movie came out I feel like the divide between Tony fans and Steve fans grew toxically and the effects are still seen to this day like some people really do be acting as if it were still 2016 and attacking others for what side they went with or for who their fav between the two is, and I'll be very honest a lot of the hate I have seen has been directed towards Tony and Tony fans. I hate that, I hate when TPTB deliberately pits fans against each other cause it just encourages a toxic environment.

Let me think was there anything that I liked about this film- wait, oh my god talking about all these other things I hate almost made me forget the thing I hate the most about this movie: it's pointless. Its existence is unnecessary; the biggest aspect of this film isn't the politics of the Accords, it's Steve and Bucky and how far Steve is willing to go for Bucky and have him by his side...but Endgame exists. The end of Endgame turns this film pointless, because the only true point of this movie is the relationship between Steve and Bucky that's the biggest takeaway from the whole thing, but then you have the end of Endgame where Steve just leaves Bucky.

I hated this film before I saw Endgame but after.....I never plan to watch Civil War again but if I did I'm pretty sure I'd self combust cause I'd be so angry I'd scream every time Steve appeared cause that son of a bitch ends up leaving; tears the whole team apart only to end up leaving his friend behind in the end.

I hate this film, I hate everything about it, well that's not true I love the Tony and Peter stuff, but aside from a couple of things I hate this movie, someone give me time stone I'm eliminating it from the timeline.

So, there you go those are my thoughts on CA: CW.

In conclusion, I am Team Neither on the Accords, Team Tony on everything else, Steve I still like you but this movie demoted you in my eyes and makes me wanna punch you in the throat.

[just-here-for-the-art-shit]

List of some of my favorite tropes that I can think off of the top of my head. Will be editing this post over time as it's way too big to do all now.

Anyone/Anything and any kind of occupation who sucks at said profession, or was not made for what they are "supposed to be". I.E. Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon

Assassin with terrible aim/grossed out by death/hates killing people.

Wizards who can't do shit but they're along for the ride.

Chefs that cannot cook but are so nice that everyone pretends their food is delicious while they die inside.

Sex-repulsed incubi/succubi.

Vampire who faints at the sight of blood.

Monster hunters who consistently fall in love with just about every monster they encounter - it's a problem for everyone around.

Legitimately illiterate writer (Who ends up being the best storyteller you've ever heard - but they can't read or write any of that shit)

Enemies to Lovers in literally almost any scenario

Also: Two enemies that become enemies-to-lovers because they team up to get another enemies-to-lovers couple together.

Villains/Heroes:

A person who becomes a villain to give the hero something to do and uplift them.

A person who becomes the villain to prepare the hero for worse/make them stronger.

A self-proclaimed super villain who, from a moral standpoint, is not really a villain. AND super villains who keeps doing good things for people by accident.

Villains and heroes who have big fights and put on shows, acting like they hate one another, but if the other were in danger, they'd rush to their aid.

Hero that doesn't realize they're a hero/good things happen around them for no reason

A broken, beaten hero/villain that warns their nemesis about a "far greater evil" and to not engage in combat with said evil.

Villains and heroes who know one anothers identities, but have an agreement to not fight in civilian personas - leading to heated sarcasm battles at the coffee shop

Heroes and villains who loudly announce their attack names despite a confused crowd of onlookers.

Villain and hero roommates who are totally aware of one another's profession and could literally not give a fuck.

Heroes that are worse than the villain.

Heroes who comes to realize that commanders/organization is actually a lot worse than the villains and that they've been the villain this whole time, and seek out the other for comfort and guidance.

Young/New hero seeking out the villain that beat them to ask them to train the hero.

Royalty/chain of command Au's:

Prince/king/commander/etc x bodyguard/right hand (Platonic or Romantic

Warlords in a love/hate relationship

The old as time trope of royalty x commoner.

Human royalty messing with god-like or fantastical creatures unknowingly

Fantasy Creatures/Mythology:

Species x Species (Platonic or Romantic)

Human x Species (Platonic or Romantic)

Monster Hunter x Monster WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF TOP FAVS!!!

Half-breeds/Quarter-breeds/So many breeds of monster they don't know wtf to call themselves "I think my great great great grandmother was a Dhampir?"

Obscure monsters that the author spent way too long researching.

Mermaids, Vampires, Werewolves, Angels & Demons - if it's been used a million times it's still good.

God x Unknowing/Knowing Follower (Romantic or Platonic)

A powerful being such as a god or mythical beast looking down on humans, only to be severely injured one day and wake up in the care of a 'lowly human', queue heart-eyes.

Humans (Especially children) who've gone astray, protected by ruthless "blood thirsty" beasts.

Gods (Like Zeus) going through or being punished by human law - I.E. Zeus has to go to mandated counseling because of all the people he has sexually harassed. Queue humans trying to explain to the almighty thunder god that, no, you cannot just f*ck anyone and everything. Zeus doesn't get it.

Building off the last one: Children who's parent is a god, and instead of it being a cool "I'm a demi-god" thing, it's an awkward life story of trying to explain why they need to pay child support and gods taking their kids to mundane human events like soccer matches and going way overboard.

A witch who later reveals that none of their spells, potions, herbs etc work - it's all a bunch of bullshit and they don't know why people still believe gemstones are magical. But they're the witch of the story and they can't just up and quit their job.

Powerful Friendships:

Hero and Blacksmith/Armorer/Innkeeper.

Short lesbian and Tall Frat Boy, or the other way around.

Doctor and Soldier/Warrior

Gay and Straight friendships comfortable with their sexualities

Two gay people that everyone thinks are a couple when they're actually BFF's that realize that they would probably murder one another in a romantic relationship

Killer and person they are supposed to kill but they "never get around to it." Both are completely aware of this and fine. "Yeah, Jerry was contracted to kill me so one day I might just wake up with knife in my chest but eh, he makes good soup. It would be worth it."

Random:

Humorous Fictional Characters/empires that are allegories for real life empires/historical figures

Straight characters who are very gay for their best buddies

Gay characters who are very straight for their best buddies

Two Dumbasses (Romantic/Platonic) that say "No homo bro" in the most random scenarios that don't even make sense.

People who swear a lot forced to replace all their curse words around children. "WHAT in the FRUITCAKE is going on with you MOTHER LOVING WITCHES!?"

Suspiciously intelligent babies giving their parents a run for their money.

Babies with mysterious powers giving their parents a run for their money, I.E. Jack-Jack from The Incredibles 2.

The "Chosen one" just being some random guy.

[a-valorant-effort]

Got any good ocxcanon content for us Cass?

*SLAMS HAND ON DESK* WELL I THOUGHT YOU’D NEVER ASK

Noura + Aurora ships by yours truly

(Let me know which one your fav is idk who’s gonna be endgame yet)

Aurora section:

Headlights

Aurora x Chamber— Bitter Opulence

- Both come from lavish lives

- They’re that hot couple you half wish you were but also are deathly afraid of

- Enemies to lovers type beat :lipbite:

- Aurora does not trust Chamber whatsoever, and does her best to avoid him

- Playing hard to get he thinks? Oh yeah, he’ll play.

- Chamber this isn’t a game she despises you.

- Spoiles her probably, on missions he organizes Chamber makes sure Aurora is as comfortable as possible

- Aurora isn’t a monster, she does appreciate the gestures that Chamber gears toward her

- It’s gonna take more work than that though, pretty boy.

Nightlight

Aurora x Omen— Opposites Attract

- My main and my oc? Yeah I’m that bitch *twirls hair*

- Besties to lovers

- I’ve said before that Aurora and Omen have prob had their radiants the longest and therefore have had time to train together/bond

- Omen has opened up about lots of things to Aurora, and vice-versa

- Old married couple, watching them talk to each other is like watching old romcoms of two old people complaining. To each other? About each other? You’ll never know.

- “Keep yourself safe, my shadow, wouldn’t want you giving us away.”

- “Your brilliant light is going to get us killed, if anything. Stay behind me.”

- You insult one of them to other though? Prepare to die.

- “Aurora is more powerful than anything you or any man shall see in this lifetime. Watch your step, her nor I will be there to catch you if you fall.”

- “Omen has been through so much. You dare speak ill of my most dependable ally? Perhaps you’re weaker than I thought.”

- (Ngl I see this more as a bff dynamic more than anything else)

Shieldshock

Aurora x Sova— Humble Beginnings

- Favorite ship tbh

- They’re both mentor/big sibling types. Always looking out for others in protocol

- Aurora values any gesture/display of affection Sova graces her with

- Sova goes so out of his way to get Aurora to talk to/notice him not knowing she is literally stealing glances at him any chance she gets

- Mutual pining champions, makes everyone at protocol want to bash their head into a wall

- Aurora meeting Sova’s family :D

- His parents proud that he chose to love such a humble and kind woman (and so pretty too!)

- Sova isn’t usually talkative but him talking to his family about Aurora? Sit down this is gonna take a min

Noura section (partially ghostwritten by @lemonssoda):

Windrunner

Noura x Jett— Race ya!

- “We’re rivals!” “We are?”

- That’s it that’s the ship

- Jett feels so threatened that there is someone faster than her. Impossible.

- AND she’s getting mentored by Aurora? Fuck no! That’s my mentor, back off!

- Noura’s so happy to have a friend tho :D!

- Every training session is a competition

- Noura shamelessly/unintentionally flirting with Jett during these times

- It takes Noura getting serious and saving Jett from a suicide mission for her to realize “oh hell she cute”

- Noura going out of her way to impress Jett while Jett is just like “oh yeah?! I can do that too!”

Glowstick

Noura x Neon — Electric love

- The bitch isn’t even out yet but I don’t care

- The similarities are uncanny— Neon and Noura would depend on each other heavily in and out of combat

- “I get you, and you get me, please don’t leave.”

- Radiant related injury? Let me tenderly treat your wounds

- Afraid of an upcoming mission? Dont worry I’m coming! There’s nothing to be afraid of!

- Crying late at night because you miss your mom? Family is everything to me, I will be there first to comfort you.

- OH THE ANGST POTENTIAL WITH THESE TWO

- Noura meeting Neon’s family *slams credit card on table*

Nanovolt

Noura x Killjoy— Brains vs. Brawn

- I love the kind of woman that talks over me -Noura

- Killjoy yearns for someone to talk/ just ramble on about technical stuff to

- Noura’s just a good listener in general, she’s used to the ramblings of her father

- KJ spoils Noura with tons of new gadgets and advancements to her gear

- It’s literally so easy for Killjoy to impress Noura she could literally just add an extra pocket to her suit and Noura would be like “:0”

- Killjoy’s passion reminds Noura of her mother, and it gets to her sometimes

- “Hey your dad stole a gadget from me can you get it back for me?”

- “yeah.”

[raewritez]

hey babe, what are your ATLA opinions? like ships, characters, etc. i love your writing!

IM SO EXCITED TO BE ASKED THIS OML

ok deep breath

OK SO

my favorites ships include kataang, zukka, sukka, iroh x spirituality, ozai x prison, mailee, maiko, and azula x therapy

personally i don’t really ship zutara mainly because when i was watching ATLA it never occurred to me that there was any chemistry between katara and zuko

HOWEVER i do LOVE them as a brotp and i think their friendship is wonderfully complex and meaningful

kataang is so pure and lovely and friends to lovers is my achilles heel

i never really thought of zukka as a possibility but now that i’ve seen it i am obsessed. zuko is an awkward bby and sokka is a dork and their dynamic would be so great

SUKI MY QUEEN

i love suki and i think her and sokka are amazing together. what a power couple

my top 5 favorite characters (although i love all the characters dearly) are probably aang, zuko, toph, azula, and katara (pretty basic i know)

it’s killing me not to put sokka in there

ily sokka

i think aang is criminally underrated and a lot of the time i see him boxed up into a shallow character without a lot of depth or development

aang literally goes through SO MUCH and he’s only 12!! he’s seen so much pain and darkness and has the weight of the world on his back

not only that but he carries the guilt from the airbender genocide

aang stays true to his airbender heritage throughout the series, including in the finale in which he chooses to act not out of violence, but out of peace (I CANNOT EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR THAT SCENE ADGJFHSHSJ)

zuko is my fav for many reasons, the most obvious being his iconic redemption arc

i think the way his character is handled is so beautiful, the way his past is revealed in inklings and you gain so much sympathy for him, his relationship with iroh, his time in Ba Sing Se (also his long hair), his betrayal and his eventual friendship with the Gaang its just AHHHHH

he is arguably the most complex character in the show and his story is so glorious

baby

toph mainly bc she’s a badass

i love her so much

i also love her message of “i know who i am” and truly not caring what other people think of her and actively shaping her destiny

everyone would’ve died without her lol

ok AZULA

azula is SO SO COMPLICATED

we are introduced to her as this maniacal “perfect child” princess

total badass “me who’s still mulling it over”

hot

what?

anyway

but deep down she’s nothing more than a child left desperate for her parents affection, pitted against her brother from a young age with an innate need to be the best

her downfall is so amazingly profound, she crumbles as the people around her leave her just like her mother did, and mai even leaves her for zuko

she’s only 14, literally a child and all she wants in her last moments of sanity is her mom

her story also parallels katara’s

KATARA

NO KATARA HATE ALLOWED ISTG

what a badass bitch

EVERYONE would’ve died without her

such amazing development in terms of her character and her water bending

i truly don’t understand why people don’t like her bc she’s “annoying”, like she is a human being and was written to have flaws. no character is likable all the time but for some reason katara’s mistakes are used to define her character

JEICIAIWJDOODQOJWB

ok

the ending fight scene between her and azula is one of my favorite things ever, i get chills EVERYTIME

her relationship with sokka is everything

her experience with zuko and the friendship that blossoms is also so amazing

yeah she does hold a grudge against him for a while but i probably would too tbh

he was a stupid boi

IN CONCLUSION I LOVE EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER AND EVERY STORYLINE

this was long and probably very uninteresting but i had fun writing it, thanks so much anon

[sybilmarlowe]

Since I joined the One Piece fandom, I was asked different times which character I ship with Doffy the most. Given I'm usually into self insert things, I'd firstly go with "my OC, of course 😛"... But let's talk about what I think of Doffy's most famous ships 😁

DISCLAIMER: all of what follows is TOTALLY my own opinion, don't want to judge anyone who thinks differently than me. OP is a fictional world made of fictional characters and anyone can ship whoever they likes!

So, here's the ships:

Doffy x Viola

Ok, let's start with what many people's don't want to hear: this ship is canon. Yeah. Like it or not, it's a matter of fact.

I honestly like them together, they're a weird couple but somehow they work. I like to imagine how could have been the dynamic between the two of them, and I'm more than sure there was nothing abusive from Doffy's side. I mean, sexually at least. I agree with the fact destroying one's whole life and Country is pretty abusive, but I'm quite sure the feelings between Doffy and Viola have been real for a while. Maybe the concept could sound trivial, but no one chooses who to love and Doffy has many characteristics which may definitely make a person fall for him. Not totally sure HE has ever truly loved her, but I like to think so. After all he does have a weak side and Viola might have been one of the few (even thanks to her powers) who managed to see it and knowing him deeply. This surely strenghtened their bond and it might have finally resulted in love...

My vote is a 8/10

Doffy x Cora

This is incest. I know. And it's indeed problematic and controversial. Irl a thing like this isn't exactly acceptable.

BUT as I told before, OP is pure fiction, so... I have to say quite like them tbh. In my opinion, as long as a relationship is adult and consensual there's nothing deeply wrong in it IN FICTIONAL WORLDS. (I know, there are fanfictions in which their relationship is abusive, but since we’re talking about headcanons here I like to think it’s not). Have you watcher GoT? Cersei and Jamie were one of the best written pairings in the whole series, the same goes for this situation imo, we have all the conditions to make this ship a sensible one.

They’re a realistic couple cause they went through a lot of difficulties together and, even if they chose different paths of life, their bond is very very deep. Their love is a desperate one, like “you’re the only one in this world I can REALLY trust”. This from both sides. The difference is that Cora is a pure person who just want to love and being loved while Doffy... well, he’s not exactly mentally healthy and he’s like “all or nothing”.

A lot of angst and stuff, of course, for this reason my vote is 7/10

Doffy x Crocodile

I’m sure someone out there is going to want my head for what I’m about to write, the DoffyxCroco fandom is huge after all... but... 

I don’t like this ship at all. 

Given one can ship two people with no reason or just because they wear matching colours and look good in fanarts (?) imo DoffyxCrocodile has no sense. They interact, yeah, but nothing about their dialogues or shared scenes makes me thing they could be a good couple. Even that most famous encounter at Marineford which made fanpeople scream... They looked just like contenders who quite disliked eachother, nothing less and nothing more :/ and Doffy saying “I’m jelous!” just gave me the same vibes of a childish sacrastic way to piss off a person, pretty much like the stupid classic “you fight like a girl!”. 

They’re aesthetically beautiful, nothing to say, they’re both among the most handsome characters in OP  and have a similar story, so I’m not saying I don’t understand the reasons of those who ship them... Just... I want ships to be stronger and more credible than this :/

6/10 just because they look good in fanarts XD

Doffy x Luffy 

This is pretty diffused, but..... why. 

I mean... what happened between the two of them which could have made them fall for eachother?? D: Have you ever tried to date a person after trying GearFourthPunch them out of the troposphere? °A° (Also, Luffy could LITERALLY be Doffy’s son. This is weird. Not the weirdest thing, but still.)

Srsly... If you like them together I ask you to tell me which dynamics are there behind this ship. Cause I really can’t see WHERE do you see even a little trace of feelings between the two of them D: 

Sorry D:

3/10 

Doffy x Law

Gods, yes. YES.

This ship HELLA works from every single point of view. Doffy and Law are two of the most (if not THE MOST) well written characters in the whole series. They have a complete and complex background, a deep and multifaceted personality and, above all, an extremely strong bond. 

Ship them or not, they’re literally OBSESSED by eachother for different reasons.

 Law is the ONLY man Doffy considers almost his equal, he thinks he’s like the only person worth being his right hand man and I’m quite sure he’s galvanized by the idea Law is the one who’s gonna sacrifice his life to make him immortal. Like... a great life to complete an even greater one? This is insane. And yet beautiful. 

On the other hand, Law’s thoughts have been completely centred on taking revenge on Doffy for 10 years. Like, he was literally obsessed by that man, consumed by the hate he felt for him which obscured anything else, even his maniacal good sense in the end. 

Turning this all into a tragic and tormented love story is as easy as drinking water. A long-term reciprocal hate mixed with a deep admiration for eachother (even from Law’s side, after all Doffy was the one who thaught him almost... everything?) which slowly turns into something terribly different. Imagine the tension between two arch enemies who have to admit their hate melted into passion... and yet still have this latent feeling of wanting the other’s death.......

Don’t know what’s your opinion about this kind of stories, but for me, the self proclaimed Queen of Angst, in love with the most tragical Theatre and Literature... THIS IS GOOD STUFF. 

10/10 HANDS DOWN.

Doffy x Trebol 

What tHE ACTUAL F***K. 

-10/10 

Doffy x Bellamy

Please, no. 

Alright, I hate Bellamy. He’s exactly the kind of character I find terribly pathetic and incomplete. He barely has a personality of his own, he’s a wild fanboy with nothing original (not like Barto. Barto is the best fanboy ever. All my love goes to Barto.). 

Now, he spent all his 34 years of life trying to... imitate Doffy? And yet he doesn’t even manage to truly understand him. So he’s worse than a fanboy, he’s attracted to the idealization of a man who’s not even half of the things he expects him to be. This is sad. Really sad. And call me a sadist, he deserved being humiliated imo. Maybe this helped him open his eyes and getting a life. Seriously. 

It goes without saying I totally can’t see how a relationship between him and Doffy could work. Doffy despises him, the only kind of plot this thing could have is a quite abusive one :/ and since I deeply dislike abuse.... no. This ship is totally out of question.

0/10

Doffy x Monet

This is another ship which barely touches the canon. I sincerely think the "love" between the two of them is pretty much unilateral. Doffy respects Monet, he deeply appreciates her abilities, intelligence and loyalty, she's clearly among his closest subordinates, but... He doesn't love her in a romantic way. As for Monet, she's totally in love with him, she'd kill and die for him. And in fact that's what she does in the end.

Monet is not among my fav characters, but I still feel quite sorry for how things went for her. She gave her everything away for a helpless, almost obsessive, love.

If something between the two of them really happened for real, I think it was merely physical.

For this reason, tough I have to admit they'd actually look beautiful together, I can't ship them :/

5/10

Doffy x Vergo

Ok, I dislike Vergo. He's quite a flat character imo, don't even like his design 😅 I don't ship him with Doffy for this simple reason, but being honest they could perfectly work as a couple.

Vergo was among Doffy's very first "real friends", he was among those who were considered a family by him and, most importantly, he was the only one around his same age. They literally grew up together, likely supporting each other, and I wouldn't be honest if I said this has no chance to be a good assumptipn for a love story. A quite simple and basic one, if you want, but it's the most realistic kind of bond two people can make.

Still not shipping them, my vote is a honest 7/10.

Guess that's all?

Let me know what do you think about this 😆 do you agree with my votes? Or there are some points you totally disagree with?

Well, anyways. I had fun 😂

[ghoulciifer]

}helloo{ Can You write headcanons with hitoshi,bakugou,and shoto with a s/o who acts tough and doesnt like to be hugged but is actually secretly soft and likes to do little stuff that matter for them🥺like actions over words

hc: Shinsou, Bakugou, and Shoto with an s/o who acts tough but is secretly soft.

tw: none

tags: fluff, just fluff

notes: anon... this is the cutest. i love this idea because i actually have an oc ship with the same dynamic LOL so this was definitely fun to write, even if it is on the shorter side. thank you for requesting and as always, ily and requests are still open ❥

» as someone who sometimes looks like he can cut a bitch if we wanted to, todoroki would not mind your rough demeanor at all

» in fact he loves that you’re not afraid to present yourself to be as strong as you actually are, one of the many things he loves about you

» also loves that you’re not afraid to speak your mind, but your tough look often times makes you seem rude or mean

» he know’s you’re far from that, tho !! boy literally looks at you like you hung the moon and stars

» and if you’re really not into the whole hugging thing? sure, he can get with that, might be a little touch starved but wants you to be comfortable with him no matter what

» it might have surprised him at first when you started doing little things for him to show your love, like leaving a little note on the bathroom mirror for him to find in the morning or sneaking one of his fav snacks/drinks into his hero duffel before he leaves for patrol

» but now he really looks forward to those little things that you do. it lets him know that even if you’re not the most physically affectionate, you still care and want him to feel the way he makes you do.

» people get so surprised when they find out you do such cute things for him LOL like he’ll be eating lunch at work one day and izuku will see the little note you left on his bento

»”Y/N left that for you...? Are-... Are we talking about the same Y/N here??”

» yes ofc it’s the same Y/N, and he wouldn’t have it any other way

» tsundere couple tsundere couple tsundere couple

» you two are a fuckin’ POWER couple, especially if you do hero work together.

» ground zero and Y/H/N arrive on scene? villains are secretly pissing themselves because if looks alone could kill they’d all be DEAD

» bakugou not only appreciates your rough exterior but let’s it feed into his own, nothing like having a badass s/o to really boost your already massive ego dgmr i love bakugou he’s just MEAN

» but it’s almost scary how similar you two are on displays of affection because while he does really love physical contact, he appreciates actions much more bc they actually hold meaning

» yea you could hug me for .2 seconds but you’re going to take an hour out of your day to help me organize the paperwork I’ve been putting aside?

» he LOVES that shit, eats it right up

» so of course he’s gonna do the same for you!

» will probably leave you little notes in your bento, reminding you to ‘stay hydrated and not do anything stupid’ that day, along with whatever your fav candy/sweet is

» that’s just bakugou language for “i love you and have a good day” <3

» now my boy ‘toshi here was probably a little intimidated by you at first, ngl

» not that he’s too insecure by any means, just meeting someone who leaves such a determined, headstrong impression AND is smokin’ hot makes him sweat a lil’

» but it makes him appreciate you that much more when you decide to be with him

» your confidence and headstrong nature give him something to look up to! he wants to be as comfortable with presenting himself as you are, and really admires that you’re not afraid of who you are

» absolutely respects that you’re not really into physical contact, even if it kills him a little inside (i mean they all probably feel this way tbh) bc LOOK AT YOU!!

» but he’s more than willing to put your needs before his own, and loves the little ways you make up for it.

» shinsou’s heart cant help but swell with emotion when he wakes up in the morning to find a mug of coffee waiting for him, just the way he likes it, or a plate of his favorite meal sitting in the microwave when he comes home from a late night patrol

» he loves this soft side of you that’s covered by that tough facade, and knows it’s something that’s just for him

JJK Episode 19

Guys... I swear every episode gets hella better and better (but for manga readers :(...) starting from the animation!! A lil shout out to the animators!! Please, I think we all appreciate everyone who works at the animation studio to take up their time amd effort into those shots because that don’t look easy at all. And I know all the employees that work there knows that we greatly appreciates them!

Okay! Now, I will comtain manga spoilers in a section in this so if you haven’t read the manga, please, don’t look or just skip, unless you’re into spoilers by all means go for it lol. It’s gonna be the first thing I’m going to talk about!

1. Megumi about to summon his special technique:

I swear that kid was literally about to safirice himself for the sake of saving people. Idk I just had a feeling he was going to summon (you know who manga readers!) but he was stopped twice by Inumaki and Maki. I think they both told him to stop because it’s either because they know he has that special technique or they just don’t want him loosing energy. I’m telling you, you guys are gonna love Megumi more and more throughout the story and how he is as a character/his powers.

2. Inumaki is a badass mf:

If you guys read volume 0, I think even Gojo Sensei praises Inumaki and how strong he is. I think he even mentioned how he was kinda of scared of him too because Inumaki is also thag powerful! Don’t believe my words if they’re exactly what I’m saying but I know that in Vol 0, Inumaki can basically go by himself in missions because again he is powerful. I would love to learn more about his clan and just him because his techniques is one of my favs!

In today’s episode, he was really helpful and powerful. He also was pushing his limits to save his friends from Hanami. He’s okay now!!

3. Megumi & Maki Vs Hanami:

I swear there is something about the zenin’s that is one bad ass clan. Maki and Megumi know how to sync when it comes to battle but that’s because I feel they trained with each other for a long time and they’re use to their fighting skills, plus they’re the same when it comes to fighting: thinking and strategizing. It’s easy to fight along side someone who has the same mindset in the battlefield I feel becasue that’s how I feel when I see Yuji and Aoi, but I’ll get to those two later. Overall, I will say we are defiantly going to see them fight along side each other again!

I swear Maki is Megumi’s favorite cousin 😂 (or whoever tf she is to them! We still need clarification on that lol) I wish I had images of them but I was being picky on which on I wanted and I screenshotted everything 😂

4. Yuji reassuring Megumi + “if you die again, I’ll kill you myself”

These two mf... I swear I love them so much and the trust they have for each other. Yuji, my dude, Megumi is traumatized! The boy just doesn’t want to loose you man! Megumi, also, how you gonna kill Yuji if the boy is dead? But it’s okay, we understand lol!! At least Yuji promised not to die lol so that’s a good thing! And he didn’t!

5. Todo being the best fighting teacher/friend:

They’re relationship just started and they already have that perfect battle sync like Megumi and Maki. Yuji knows how to sync with people who are willing to just go for it and he does the same with Nobara (which I’m excited to see soon) and Nanamin. I love the fact that Todo gives Yuji the hardcore truth about fighting in a battle because Yuji was about to land a black flash but he was so pissed about how hurt Megumi was and what happened to Junpei. Todo noticed and made Yuji snap out of it and if Todo was my teacher best believe I would’ve said “thanks man!”. Plus, he is very patient. I also like when he made Yuji go out on his one and wouldn’t step in until he landed a black flash. Like, who tf does that?! Usually, they would do a double tag but no, this is very different. Yeah, they end up fighting together but Todo gave Yuji time to study and smart when it came to fighting Hanami. Damn man can Todo be my teacher??

But, I do want to say more about being angry in battles. Sometimes, when you’re pissed off especially when fighting, yeah anger plays a big role but it can also make you loose focus because you are focusing on someone and their well being. It hurts to see your friends or family in pain and it gets you angry but at that moment you have to let go and focus on what’s in front of you. That is what Todo is teaching Yuji and he had to tell him a couple of times and remind him that it’s just like that when you are a jujutsu sorcerer. It’s not an easy job whatsoever.

Other than that it was another enjoyable episode. I hope you guys like my reviews and lil thoughts into it because this anime is really in a whole different level when it comes to shounen mangas. It’s different and has a different pace. A very fast pace but it’s still good!

[maxemilianverstappen]

Do you think mercds and hamltn fans believe what they write or it is just for likes? Saw them calling FIA biased towards Red Bull and Max, how he doesn't deserve to win the championship like he didn't have a better season than their fave and Fraudstappen or stg, tagging their nonsense in Max's tag. Literally can't believe we watch the same sport

Anon, people enjoy hating on stuff together, alright? Hate is a very strong emotion and it certainly gives a strange sense of satisfaction and a surge of power if people have lots of others with them on the same side. It gives them a sense of belonging, unity, righteousness and an ego boost like winning a fight.

The psychology behind this is ridiculous actually. They feel angry and upset at times, but also it gives them serotonin and adrenaline when they see how the defenders are struggling and miserable, see how they can hurt others with words/actions... The surge/rush it gives is addictive, because it provides a safe outlet to be cruel and monsterous together with others/hiding among them and feeling righteous about wanting to destroy/hurt their object of hate emotionally/physically/etc.

Feeds a primal and very primitive urge, right? And doing all this shit behind the anonymity of the internet doubles the satisfaction and the sense of security. Otherwise, why should people send death threats/go-kill-yourself messages/abuse of any and all kind to others just because they aren't supporting their fav team/loving their fav actor/etc.

So, while fans might actually genuinely believe the bullshit that's fed to them (as most people here and twitter have proven to be illiterate or incapable of reading comprehension) i believe at least some of them just continue with their agenda out of spite and a need to hide their wrong way of thinking.

It is also amazing the way their team boss is acting. He is also quite aware of his own indignancy and childish attitude, but big monies are at stake, Anon. So, instead of owning up to your bullshit like a true bastard™️ that i admire some were/are being, acting like a wronged angel is the easiest way for their already established underdogs/heros without capes narrative.

My stance on his bullshittery is evident. And while the stewards making mostly idiotic and inconsistent decisions since forever is a known fact and should be challanged and changed, what they decided here isn't how Max deserves a penalty or not. They decided that the front cam view of Max's car isn't sth that provides a new/better evidence on whether their in-race decision should be reconsidered.

But look, T.to successfully twisted this into "We wanted to learn how much elbow we can also push out, not that we were expecting a punishment". Like, okay T.to... This doesn't sound any sinister at all coupled with you twice saying you need Max to have a DNF... Go and let Lew.s or V.ltteri smash Max into a wall again and cry about how this time you get a penalty? Then, you'll have a "valid" reason to show how biased the stewards are towards RB...

Should Max have gotten a penalty? I am no expert as even the experts are divided about the subject. Even L.wis said he didn't expect anything to come out of it, because he would do the same and he will do the same. So, at best it would have been a 5/10 secs penalty. And a loss of 3 CPs from Max. If Max does this again, he'll be treated with more scrutiny and harshness, I am sure.

Yet, the real focus should be on how the argument and the situation is twisted here by Merc.des and how the media is amplifying their completely shameless and tasteless tone and discourse and everyone is nodding along or outright crying for blood.

[shamelessllamapeanutthing]

Ships and Feels about them

HUGE self-indulgent post but my brain is frozen and I need to get the juices flowing so I can start studying, because if I don’t get into the college I want I just might have to kill myself and then y’all can say bye-bye to your fav fics by your majesty. 

YoruSoi- status: worSHIPPING (geddit? XD) them like the goddesses they are

I regularly play Wicked Ones by Dorothy and just imagine these two tag-teaming against their opponents, like the crazy, badass, ninja lesbians they are. It fucking gives me goosebumps and makes me blush like I am imagining them rawing each other instead. I am a big time SUCKER for powerful, cut-throat wlw. They make me feel powerful by extension, and my devotion for these two is completely unparalleled. 

VictUuri- status: will protect them with my life  

First of all, I love how layered and interesting they are. I can think about this show and this ship for hours and hours on end ( @feastingonvicturi will vouch for that). I naturally gravitate towards angsty ships and writing (because I am a weird sado-maso cross, what can I say) except for these two fluffy bastards. I had been putting off watching YOI because of the weird things I had read about ‘yaoi’ animes (IK YOI is not yaoi, now) till someone told me how pure and deep their love for each other was and welp, here we are. 

RenRuki- status: comfort ship I’ll defend till death

It was one of my first ships and even as I multi-shipper, I always had a preference for them. Childhood-friends-to-lovers trope tugs on my heartstrings like little else and Renji’s devotion towards Rukia warms my heart. I hear them in nearly every song, imagine them in every scenario I read or write about and even though I have multiple ships I adore involving Rukia and Renji both, the two together is everything to me. (Presently obsessed with the amazing hcs and art by @recurring-polynya you might wanna check them out)

KaiRay- status: heart is taking a break, but remains firmly attached

I got into Beyblade BECAUSE of this ship, because of the moments these two shared in V-Force that I caught glimpses of when my younger siblings were watching the show. I love Kai and Ray’s dynamic and I guess what attracts me the most to this ship is the fact that as a teenager I was exactly like Kai and had my own personal Ray who got me through the worst in life. I love the sense of sweet nostalgia this couple brings me and I believe they are perfect for each other. 

MariahEmily- status: coffee shop AU, anyone? 

I was HUGE on MariahxRay but strong, stylish, kinda bitchy, dumb thot falling for the highly educated and fierce lady boss she doesn’t really know how to approach is another one of my favourite tropes, (see: PansMione, down under). I saw them interact and due to personal reasons my brain rejects petty rivalry between girls (because we’re all tired of that, children, be honest) and immediately tries to fix it in fanon. ( @trashyartz  and her beautiful drawings had a lot to do with fanning these flames.) 

ShunUki- status: want them to adopt me

Need I say more? No, but I wanna. I love the steady, secure vibes of this ship. This is the one ship I physically can’t write angsty shit about because of the level of understanding and sense of comfort these two share. They give me kind and strong dad vibes and I have emotionally been an orphan since I was in my early teens so. 

WolfStar- status: they’re canon, JKR can suck my toes

Fucking TERF 

Listen, listen, have you been listening? I mentioned I am a sucker for angst, right? Are you looking at the angst potential here, cause wow. What originally attracted me to this ship was the Chemistry between the two, cause it’s undeniable. You can NOT imagine Maurauders’ Era without imaging these two pining over each other. It’s impossible. 

PansMione- status: toxic and problematic, but oh so hot

I got on this ship because I was craving some quality wlw ships. You guys’ I can not explain to you how often female characters in shows and books do not pass the Bechdel test and I stumbled on some gorgeous PansMione art and just fell in love. IK this ship is hella problematic, but I am firm on my stance that the baby Slytherins deserve a redemption arc. 

Can you imagine these two after Pansy realises everything she did wrong and vows to be better? I imagine Hermione stumbling on a hurt and confused Pansy in year 8, who can’t stop her tears from flowing and is so ashamed of herself for that. She is feeling guilty and resisting the emotion with everything she possesses because the world she’d always known has crumbled down around her and everything she believed in has now been proven to be wrong. 

She lashes out at Hermione because how dare that smart, gorgeous, courageous girl also be everything Pansy once thought she was? How dare she, a muggleborn, unravel the complicated threads of the wizard world so quickly, so efficiently, and clearly see what Pansy never could? Pansy is hurt and guilty and angry and she hates the fact that fucking Granger of all people has now witnessed her crying. 

She feels lost and her anger only rages louder when Hermione doesn’t gloat or belittle her, she doesn’t say anything. 

(Why is this turning into a ficlet, WHAT) 

Anyways, Pansy gets over herself and she and Hermione get together and oh my god, imagine them then. Smart, powerful, righteous Hermione taking the fucking Wizarding World by a storm every single day with her sexy, vivacious, clever Pansy by her side. They’d be unstoppable and they’d love each other something fierce. It would show in the way they look at each other, with a sense of victory, not only over Voldemort but over the entire Wizarding society that had done everything it could to tear them apart, and ultimately failed. 

(BONUS: Imagine Ron and Harry being utter dorks when they go to Pride parades with Hermione and let the image cleanse your skin and soul. @feastingonvicturi @trashyartz one of you (or both?) needs to collab with me so I can write a fix it fic for these two, please. I will pledge my soul to the devil to be used and abused as per Trashy’s whims in exchange. Taura will do it cause she’s my best friend and loves me more than I deserve to be loved.)

(In conclusion, I adore every single one of these ships and am willing to slice a bitch’s throat to protect their honour. Except for YoruSoi, they are fictional characters IK but I am convinced they do not need anybody’s protection, least of all this dumb fuck’s and just might laugh at the very idea.) 

Also, feel free to reblog or comment with rants about your own ships even if they go directly against mine. More love to you if you expand on the ships I mentioned here myself. Tell me about your poison of choice, go ahead. 

But if any one of you dares to send hate to any of my ships, please know that I am something of a God in my own capacity and will smite you with my preferred weapon of choice i.e. blindness in the face of adorable puppies or kittens (in pictures, videos, art, real life or otherwise). Beware. Let people love what they love.

[littlehollyleaf]

So talking of finales penned by spn writers.

One of my fav comics the last few years has been Spider-Man/Deadpool, written by our very own Robbie Thompson.

Obviously, Deadpool is a character I was always gonna be fond of, since his fourth-wall breaking power / chatacter trait makes him all about the meta, and metafiction is My Jam.

Spider-Man/Deadpool has the additional fun of being about Wade and Peter's relationship specifically, which is just fun and adorable any which way, but the series also makes constant nods to the idea of them as a romantic couple (the title IS a LITERAL REFERENCE to slash fic/shipping). Never in a baity way either. The writing celebrates the idea of Spider-Man/Deadpool without ever teasing the idea it might actually happen. It's mostly Wade explicitly referencing them as a slash pairing in his various fourth-wall breaking speeches, while in the 'reality' of the universe the writing is pretty clear on the fact Peter only thinks of Wade platonically (or occasionally antagonistically :p), while Wade genuinely has an explicit romantic crush, but overall just simply respects and cares for Spider-Man as a person and primarily wants to be and have him as a friend (tho there's absolutely, deliberate, space left in the writing to imagine/fanfic a mutual romance between if you want).

(ASIDE: PETER PARKER IS NOT A KID IN THIS CURRENT VERSION OF MARVEL CANON HE IS 100% AN OF AGE ADULT, like he is in the Spiderverse film - in case anyone was freaking out)

So yeah, that's all fun and sweet and completely catering to my interests.

One of the big, big things about the characters and their relationship, though, is the fact that WADE DOES NOT KNOW SPIDER-MAN'S IDENTITY. And this quickly became one of, if not THE, things at the heart of their evolving friendship/relationship. The closer they get, the more and more you WANT Wade to find out or, better, for Peter to TELL HIM. Because you want them to reach that place of love and trust where they each know intimate things about each other, where Peter cares about and knows he can trust Wade enough to share that vulnerable truth about himself.

So, Peter telling Wade his secret identity - that's, basically, the ship/relationship endgame everyone is rooting for.

SO.

In the *cries* final storyline of the series, this whole epic Thing happens, that I won't explain cos it'll take too long. But basically, the world appears to be ending and in that context of dire and angsty straits - Peter reveals his identity to Wade! *insert Deadpool movie shock gif*

Now closer than ever, they team up with a rag tag collection of other characters to take on the Big Bad and, long story short, they discover the whole epic end of the world Thing has been a fake reality created by the real villain of the piece -

THE WRITER, aka Robbie himself!

Due a series of implausible comic book events they are able to confront and defeat him and he offers this in his defence -

and I just -

aw Robbie

your supervillain origin story was... WANTING FICTIONAL CHARACTERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO GROW?

(#relatable)

When I first read this (which was, oh, back near the very beginning of spn S15) I thought

a) amusing that an ex-spn writer is, like spn itself, writing a meta story in which the writer is the villain

b) it's funny how spn's villain writer and Robbie's villain writer both harm/manipulate their characters for the exact opposite reasons - Chuck wants to prevent the characters from developing, comic!Robbie wants to force them TO develop

(and c) I wonder if this lament over characters not being allowed to grow, and the fact that wanting to change that associates Robbie with villainy, in any way connects to... other writing jobs he may have had... before the comic...)

The tragedy, tho, is that after his defeat, as Spider-Man and Deadpool are locking comic!Robbie away, he tells them his capture doesn't matter because in the end HE WON, because Wade now knows Spider-Man's identity!!

To which we end with this -

The growth Robbie wanted was denied!

*sad face*

(I forget the in-universe explanation, if there was an explicit one - either defeating comic!Robbie and his fake world caused all memory/experience if that world to be lost/destroyed... or there was genuinely no real explanation and that in itself was a meta nod to how comic book narrative is constantly dropping/discarding/ignoring/retconning plot points in order to maintain the wider status quo of the comic universe narrative)

AND YET - while the biggest growth of learning Peter's identity was denied (presumably because, as noted above, wider comic book canon requires/insists both characters and their relationship remain in a specific, static, status quo - so the industry can keep churning out multiple comics with them without necessarily having to bother with the extra time/hassel of researching specifics of continuity - because, money), as Peter and Wade's further discussion points out, SOME development HAS happened at least. Wade has grown more moral/heroic in how he doesn't immediately kill his enemies. And Peter has come to care deeply enough about Wade to be proud of him for this and tell him so. AND they walk away together side by side, their friendship cemented.

So bottom line - the story ends. And it's not in the BEST way. It denies the readers and the characters (and the writer!) the fulfilment of that key endgame plot point.

And YET.

It manages to still be a funny, heartwarming and ultimately SATISFYING end. One that, tongue in cheek, lampshades the development the rest of the story has, in many ways, been building up to and, using metafictional tricks, tells readers in a way that is funny, entertaining and also feels somewhat apologetic, that it simply wasn't a plot the creatives involved were able to give. But offers SOME growth at least, and leaves things open enough for readers to imagine the characters are poised for more in the near future (...although due to the nature of comics that may well have been jossed by other comic book runs at this point - I haven't read any that include the characters since this title ended).

WHY am I making a longass post about this you ask?

Well

a) because the comic is great and I think more people should read it, consider this a recommend (tho sorry for spoilers!)

b) ...just ...wanted to big up Robbie Thompson for a bit. A++ Robbie, way to land an ending, both in fiction and meta, kudos to you, nice to be reminded that it can be done!

(also in case by some miracle anyone at Marvel is reading this - I said the ending was satisfying, but that doesn't mean I WOULDN'T SPEND GOOD MONEY ON A REVIVAL OF THIS TITLE IN A HEARTBEAT! just because I'm ok with the last comic being the end doesn't mean I don't WANT MORE WITH A BURNING PASSION why must you cancel all my favs?? ...*coughs* so, yes, thank you any Marvel execs for your time...)
