Platonic Ghostbusters x social media manager! Reader?

oooo hell yeah!! ; thanks for requesting and I hope u enjoy :)

GHOSTBUSTERS ; social media manager

summary ; you run the official ghostbusters social media platforms

warnings ; language

word count ; 746

masterlist

Podcast wanted to run the official Ghostbuster social media's but was quickly turned down at that. They needed someone who could actually be on top of that kind of stuff and whatnot. So, Stanz made a deal with Podcast that they'd get a social media manager, and he could act as their teammate with that, basically. Giving them ideas, giving them video clips and extra details, etcetera.

Most of the others didn't see a real reason for a social media manager, but as long as it wasn't their money.

Trevor offered to just do everything himself, but that was obviously turned down as well. The teens all agreed not to let the adults run the account either. They didn't need millennial - Gen X / Boomer humor flooding the whole account and making them look bad.

And that's where you came in.

surprisingly, Pheobe was the one to find you. she's seriously the most chronically offline person ever so the fact she ever opened Instagram was a miracle in itself

lots of talking back and forth and meeting the original four three ghostbusters to get input, then meeting callie & garry and the teenagers

you actually figured out that you used to be friends with Lucky as well, damn

you had managed social media accounts before, but you'd recently quit a few of those because of labor laws being broken so, yknow

you quickly formed a bond with Lucky, Trevor, and Podcast. you were kind of close in age to all three of them and they were all invested in the public image for the brand

setting the Instagram up was genuinely the funnest thing ever

the four of you were chilling in the living room in the firehouse (since sleepover stuff, pheobe was in her room reading) and you had your laptop in your lap and the three of them over your shoulders

the amount of laughing and cackling got some scolding from callie upstairs

it took everything out of you to not make the first post a video of trevor being soaked in Slimer's slime (which had been recorded by Lucky just by coincidence as they were investigating the attic again)

the first three posts, which were pinned, all lined up to be like a banner kind of logo with the theme song in the back, and they all played the same video, clips of the og ghostbusters and how they grew and then the new ghostbusters

the tiktok is its own thing, you allowed trev, lucky, podcast (and pheobe) to run it, but everything had to be ran by you first because pr shit

but thankfully no boomer humor or slang is ever being put on those accounts

most of those people don't even know wtf the internet is anyways lol

stanz has a personal vendetta against you /hj after you posted a .5 of him for relatable promo. he had no idea what you were doing but it was criminal that you made his forehead look so much more bigger than it already was

Winston gives you a bunch of old pics to post to trending angst sounds as well LOL

let's not talk about that tiktok where you, lucky, and trevor dance to/remake submissive and breedable by smosh ft bbno$, okay?

^podcast and pheobe were behind the camera cackling the whole time

lots of random pic posts on the insta as well because why not (most of them are the teens looking awkward, callie, gary & lars trying to look like cool scientists, or venkman, stanz, zeddemore & melnitz being classic, sassy old people)

the socials are never professional whatsoever, it's fun but it's not heavily controversial or obvious that you're there as a pr manager basically or just to manage the socials

like man they don't have the time to look at all the comments, take all the advice, reply to fans, etc

I mean that wage ain't that bad either LMAO

trevor is always bitching about how you make more money than he does /lh

you're not just a representative to them, you're actually family. you're just cool like that

"bro y/n is such a mc I hate them" and you'll reply on your personal w a "says you, reality shifter" or smthn LMAO idfk

always reposting ghostbuster edits / fanart etc because fandom culture 🙏

also I can't get over the fact the ghostbuster theme song is canon now either. yk damn well that shit is plastered everywhere thanks to you 💀

"do the ghostbusters respond??" "stanz said he loves your dog" "HELP HSEIJDLAKE"

10/10 experience

tbh i dunno why this is so funny to me. this format has so much potential! FRISK! DON'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT! FRISK! WHERE'D YOU HIDE THE BODIES?

My sense of humor is, at best, strange and at worse, just plain ol' dumb.

(This will probably just be looked over or deleted (tbh fair), so sorry to clog up you inbox Akane. I just wanna say a thing, cause why not. You reblogged my dumb post (the one with the frisk red pupil thing) a while ago. Thank you so much for the encouragement on that! I woke up and saw that post with 150+ notes, and was a bit stunned tbh. You are my favorite artist, (not just cause of your art, but your sense of humor as well) so even the simple gesture of "This looks good!" basically made my week! Keep being the wonderful person you are!)

(Had to google to make sure but yea, /srs. (the only phrase i know or use are lol or lmao etc. im a "boomer" or whatever.))

I never realized this panel fits that well for meme material. Me likey.

And no worries at all! It really makes me happy that the encouragement you've gotten from that post made your week! It's never easy to start out. For beginner artists the lack of feedback is especially discouraging. While I can't answer every question or give tips for everything, I wanna let you know that you're doing great! Keep it up 👌✨

John Wick NSFW Alphabet

i love my baby boomer....

18+

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

John will one hundred percent take care of you. Clean you up, cuddle, rub your back, feet or full body massage anyone? He likes to call it post orgasm affection after sex he feels so protective over you and thankful for you. He’ll do anything you want because during this time he feels closer to you than ever.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

This man likes whatever you like but if he had to pick he’s pretty skilled with his hands and he loves how they look when they are holding onto your hips or when his fingers are pumping in and out of your pussy.

John loves your hips or the small of your back or your thighs…. Does he have to pick just one? He believes your body was sculpted by a goddess and loves to worship every part of you. If he did have to choose it would probably be your hips.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Finds it way too degrading to cum anywhere but inside you, a condom or your mouth. Though, on the very rare occasion he may be willing to cum on your stomach or chest. Never the face though, he doesn’t know why but it feels extremely disrespectful to him.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

John loves you all natural.

Right before you shower, early in the morning or even after a hot day out in the sun. It feels like all you when he eats you out and licks you all over while you’re all sweaty, he blames it on his basic biology. How could he not be turned on by your natural scent and beauty?

It may sound strange but it really is a basic animal instinct to be attracted to your mate's pheromones (aka loveee hormones). Although he won’t be as bold as Napoleon and ask you to not bathe, he won’t turn down an opportunity to try and get you in the mood before he knows you plan to shower that day.

If you ever called him out on it he’d get all flustered and even start stuttering -- it is his literal dirty secret-- but if he sees you’re okay with it he gets very confident.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Get prepared to have sex ruined for you because nobody can do it like him. John Wick is THE man, myth and legend. He’s mastered all the ways to end people’s lives and ‘la petite mort’ is a ‘death’ form he's very familiar with. He will have you shaking, twitching, arching your back, pushing him away but pulling him back…

You’re a puzzle for him that he wants to crack. The prize? Knowing that it’s him who can and is doing it. John can make you forget your words, your eyes roll into the back of your head, make noises you thought were impossible and your neighbors hate you. He’s good at pacing himself too so be prepared for a long night.

Might want to bring your neighbors some cookies the next day if you ever have him over.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Loves when you ride him because he can sit back and watch just how beautiful you look bouncing up and down on his cock. John loves watching where the two of you connect it turns him on a lot. This position is also good for when he just wants to cuddle and both of you want the extra comfort with a bit of cockwarming.

There’s also spooning because he can hold you tight in his arms. Under the covers, you don’t even have to move, let him grab your leg and hold it up for you. Don’t worry he’s got you and he’ll take good care of you. Early in the morning, sleepy and warm is the best sex he could ask for.

Either way he wants to be close with you or to watch you intently because nothing is sexier to him but you.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)

Really depends. John would only joke around during sex if the woman he’s having sex with is his girlfriend. He doesn’t feel comfortable enough with strangers and one night stands to smile and goof around with them.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Yeah John definitely trims his pubic hair. He's a very well kept man but he’d never shave. It’s also something he doesn’t think about often as well so sometimes it gets a bit unkempt but that’s usually only during his leisure times in between hits. Why does he trim his pubic hair before a contract? You’ll never know.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

John’s very intimate. He’ll never feel closer to you than when he’s buried deep inside your pussy. He talks about how beautiful you are and kisses you all over while he fucks you hard. You’ll never feel more loved during sex than you do when you're making love with him. Multiple orgasms surrounded by his arms and words of encouragement leaves your mind and heart racing. Oh and of course your pussy throbbing.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Jacking off was boring to him. Until he found you.

Before it was for stress release. Fast and quick in the shower. He’d rest one arm and his forehead on the tile wall while the other stroked his cock until he came. The warmth from the water being the only thing to hold him. It’s too lonely for him. As much as he liked to be alone and is a quiet and private man, such pleasure should not be experienced alone.

Then you came.

Polaroids. He loves to take photos of you. Whether it’s right after sex or even the domestic things like you eating or laughing. As dangerous as it is, he keeps one on him at all times. You’re his reason to come home at the end of the day. When he’s bleeding and in pain he knows it all won’t matter when he walks into the door and sees you.

Most of these more private Polaroid photos were gifted to him from you. He kept them safe and would bring them out in the privacy of his hotel room during long contracts to stroke himself to the photos of you in lingerie, imagining you were there with him. That he could kiss your thighs and taste your pussy… It doesn’t take him long and knowing that he’ll see you again makes him almost wanna rush the contract just to see you again.

Thank God for phones as well. He loves to call you and he’s so cute. You can tell what he wants right away even if he’s trying his best not to outright ask because he’s already so embarrassed.

“Hey baby.”

“I miss you so much…”

“Wish I was home with you.”

“Oh? Why?” You’d bit your lip and giggle through the speaker.

Then the minute you catch on and play along, goodbye awkward John and hello confident John.

“You really want to know? Why don’t you go lay on the bed and touch yourself for me, crazy woman.”

When he’d hear you moan at the sound of his words and his belt coming undone he’d curse in different languages. John proceeds to tell you every little detail on how he feels and how he wants to make you feel while he jerks himself to the sound of your moans and wet pussy through the phone.

If he’s feeling particularly down bad for you, he’ll let you do all the talking.

John is also a huge fan of mutual masturbation. He loves to just lay side by side with you and make each other orgasm with nothing but your hands and deep eye contact.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

If you’re looking for a kinky guy or someone into BDSM, you’ve come to the wrong department. He’s a bit old school. John will experiment with all sorts of positions and do some light bondage that’s easy for you to get out of if you need or really want to. No safe word because no and stop are enough for him.

John likes blindfolds, light biting, ice cubes and your vibrators. He also likes making you orgasm over and over or edging you to make the pleasure even more intense. He’s a very attentive lover who is passionate as all hell.

Things are a bit different when it comes to him though. He’s fucked in his opinion. John’s been shot, stabbed, hit by a car, beat and he’s broken bones. A couple slaps across the face from you brings out almost a primal feeling within him. He loves it. Some may call it slight femdom but he doesn’t care when you take a bit of control it makes him feel like he can relax and let go.

Oh and he’s not into, full strap on pegging but he does appreciate a good old prostate orgasm every now and again.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Right at home and in his bed. Who doesn’t love their bed? John is not excluded from the common phenomenon that is not wanting to get out of bed. Yes he wakes up early but his bed is just so comfortable and when you’re in his arms all warm… Mmm it’s heaven for him. So when it comes to his favorite thing to do (sex), he loves being in his big, soft bed. You’ll feel like you’re having sex on a cloud.

John’s other favorites include inside (or on) his mustang, hotel rooms and anywhere in his or your home.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Not much, John Wick is easy as shit when he’s in love. He can hide his desire well but if you’re both down it’s not hard to get him started. Wink, smile, giggle or bite your lip while looking at him. Squeeze his bicep or stare at his groin. You’re so sexy to him you could straight up ask him and he’ll carry you to the bedroom before you finish your sentence.

Baba Yaga enjoys being messed with. Tease him and he may just beg you!

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Will not hurt or degrade you. John knows how easy it is to kill someone. Three seconds of his hand on your throat would be all it would take. So his hands stay away from your neck no matter how much you beg him. Any kind of pain inflicted on you is a no. End of story. It may even kill the mood for him if you keep bugging him about it.

He doesn’t feel right calling you a slut, a whore or bitch. Not when those terms are so negative. Those words would never even cross his mind when it came to you. In fact, if he ever heard anyone call you those terms he may have to pay them a visit and … Well that’s besides the point.

You’re too precious to him he doesn’t think he could hurt you even if he tried. Sex is sacred to him. He can be rough in ways that don’t involve putting your life at risk or harming you and he can be dominant and commanding without insulting you. John wants to love and worship you during sex and to him anything that puts you down or harms you is the complete opposite of what he wants with you or any partner.

Him on the other hand… (see K & W)

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

John could eat you out for hours, literally. Your tastes and your sounds, lord he could ejaculate just from that. Sometimes he gets so into it you think he almost forgets your there (he could never actually), his eyes are closed and his face is soaked as he can’t stop kissing, licking and sucking on your clit. He feels like a dehydrated man drinking from the most beautiful oasis he’d ever seen. Be prepared to be overstimulated.

He of course would never turn down a blowjob. Sitting on the couch with one of his arms thrown around the back, the other cradling the back of your head, tilting it ever so slightly so he could look into your eyes, his boxers and jeans bundled at his ankle while you slobber all over him? How many times can John say he feels like he’s in Heaven with you without it getting annoying? He’s very careful not to choke you or thrust up too hard but he apologizes every time he does.

Oral is John’s favorite way to have sex with you.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Really depends on you but he’s real good at pacing himself. He can tell by how loud and long your moans are. If you are loving slow and deep to the point he’s almost just grinding against you while in bed or fast and hard after a hit where you can’t keep your hands off each other he’ll do whatever you need.

John does like to change it up though, going nice and slow before speeding up and letting the headboard hit the wall, making anyone within two miles of you hear your pleasure.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Ah not John’s favorite but they do. Sometimes he just can’t keep his hands off of you because you’re so irresistible to him. He loves to spend his time worshiping you and edging or overstimulating the both of you but can’t really do that with a quickie.

He’s not against them, just not his preference because that usually means one of you are leaving and you’re having one more quick intimate goodbye or you’ll be out in public. Both are horrible options to him.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

John won’t have sex with you in public but he doesn’t care who hears. Or how close someone is. He will have sex in his mustang which is the most public he’ll do. He loves it because every time he gets in to drive all he can think about is your hand holding onto the roof as you bounce yourself on him.

He’s also down to experiment with different positions and loves the ones that make you the loudest. John gets very proud when someone makes a comment, though most are too intimidated to ask Baba Yaga to tone it down.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

When he was younger he felt like he could go all night, even if he needed time he’d just eat you out till he was hard enough to fuck you again. Multiple times a day with amazing self control but sometimes you just felt way too good and he’d feel like he was coming the minute he would thrust into you.

Now with John’s older age he prefers long rounds with fewer orgasms. Maybe he can do two himself on a good night? He’ll still stay up all night kissing and worshiping you. All he wants is to feel you and the older he gets the better self control he has. He can do more if you’re over stimulating him though.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Yeah toys are good. Mainly vibrators though. John likes smaller dildos, nothing even close to the size of his own dick, that he can fuck you with while you sucking on your clit.

He also likes the smaller ones because they are the perfect size for him as well. When he’s had a real rough week a prostate orgasm he believes can fix him and heal him of all frustrations, especially if you’re the one helping him out.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

John likes it more when you tease him but he teases you back just as much. Sometimes he can’t wait himself and doesn’t even want to tease you because it would be like teasing himself. That’s what makes it fun for him though, knowing you need him to fuck you as much as he needs to fuck you. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re that desired.

Also it’s up to what you consider a tease. John doesn’t even realize when he’s ‘teasing’ a lot of the time. He’ll spend hours kissing every inch of your body, biting and sucking in your breasts and nipples while caressing your whole body. It’s not until he notices your literally dripping onto the mattress that he should probably get a move on.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Just like normal John he’s pretty quiet but he moans and groans, grunts and growls, swears and talks dirty to you. He’s sure to let you know how good he feels but you’re going to be the only one who knows. He won’t let people know when he’s in pain even when he’s been shot or stabbed or burned, he barely makes a noise.

Having even a conversation with the man is a privilege, so to hear him in his rawest form when he was experiencing such pleasure makes you almost elite. If the two of you are somewhere private he will let himself be a little louder, but just for you.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Living his life as an assassin John had to learn to deal with pain real quick. One of those ways was to find pleasure within that pain. It reminded him that he was alive and he wasn’t some scary story… That he could feel. When he learned he could still feel some of that painful pleasure with you it was a perfect meeting in the middle of his two lives.

So feel free to smack or bite him; he loves it. The sting from your palm connecting with the side of his face makes him feel alive and lose control just a little bit. But don’t actually do anything life threatening damage and don’t do anything too crazy

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

He’s been blessed by the 666 gods that’s for sure. 6 feet in height, 6 inch dick and 6 figure salary. Or maybe it’s more like 6 feet in height, 7 ½ inch dick that pushes 8 inches when he’s super turned on and a probably more than 6 figure salary.

John seems like a guy who knows how desirable he is but he’s humble about it. He’s fit, attractive, strong, and skilled. He won’t boast and he won’t tell people but he knows he has it all. That doesn’t stop him from acting a bit shy in front of his significant others. When it comes to matters of the heart all logic goes out the window and can leave the most confident person a stuttering mess.

All that confidence he has turns to worry because what if he hurts you? John knows bigger doesn’t always mean better. That’s why he’s learned and he knows just how to get you prepared for him. If you can’t get wet enough on your own there’s a bottle of lube he keeps in his nightstand and if it still hurts, he knows penetration isn’t the only way to have sex.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Fluctuates but more on the higher side. The emotional release John gets from sex and orgasming is better than any successful or satisfying hit he’s ever done. Being raised to kill people for a career led to pent up aggression being released in sick and brutal ways. He didn’t get the nickname Baba Yaga for nothing.

Sex is the complete opposite of what he does. Instead of taking a life, he could be making one. Instead of staring someone in the eyes as they plead for their life and take their last breath, he can stare into yours as you plead for him to keep going. It’s soft, safe and reminds him that there are good ways to handle things.

It gives him a better release and no one gets hurt! Orgasming feels good and it’s even better when it’s with someone he loves and can share that good feeling with. But don’t get it wrong. He’s not a sex crazed maniac, while no sex whatsoever would be a long time deal breaker, less sex is just fine.

John’s not thinking about sex 24/7, he has a lot of it when he’s in a relationship maybe a few times a day sometimes, but he doesn’t need it. He’s more of a cuddle crazed maniac. You don’t want to have sex? That’s alright! You don’t want to cuddle? Now there might be some problems.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

John will only fall asleep first if you’ve been dating for a real long time and he’s the most comfortable he can be. Knowing his own strength and skill he wants to protect you. After sex, you have his hormones running wild and he’s filled with so much love and protective energy he wants to watch and hold you while you sleep but sometimes you milk him too good.

You can always tell when you’ve wiped the poor man out. On those nights he can’t help but lay his head on your chest and he’s out like a light, snoring louder than usual.

❛❛ In which; Dottore as a streamer... ❜❜

✎ ❛❛ I'll have to admit, this character is quite... alluring.❜❜

Pairing(s): Streamer!Dottore x (kinda) Game-Character!GN!Reader (Mordern AU)

Genre/Format: N/A (headcanons)

Warning(s): wrote this at 6am without thinking straight so possible grammar mistakes and sentences that don't make sense

Notes: There really isn't much of x Reader here, sadly :( I might write more of this in the future but idk

I know i have requests to do but this idea came out of nowhere and it was too tempting to not write something for it— I've only written headcanon once so this is short. I have no idea if I'm doing this right 💀

Let's be real, this guy would probably stream live torture on the darkest part of the internet

BUT, let's just pretend in this AU he's not an evil doctor man <3

He is a tired university student who majors in biology and thrives to earn a position in the medical field

And that means becoming a coffee addict and endless nights of staying up late to study

Sleeping? What's that?

I can see him being so focused on his studies to the point where he doesn't interact with the internet much

If someone showed him a popular meme he wouldn't understand

Boomer

Due to how busy he is, he doesn't have the time to find a job

He lives off of the money his parents send him every month lol

That was until someone introduced him to the wonders of the internet…

One of his friends—Childe, told him something about a streaming platform and he should go check it out

And that night when he got home, he pulled his laptop out and searched for it

He also learnt that people can earn money streaming whatever

For instance, most of the people streams "let's plays"

He scrolled down a little and he found people streaming… questionable things, and he was baffled they get paid for it

So that means, he could stream anything he wants and he'd earn money from it, as long as he has a certain amount of viewers

Say less

And an account was made

This basically becomes his part-time job now

He usually streams to tutor struggling students and you best believe they were very thankful

He'll sometime do "study with me" streams too

As he takes his fifteen minutes breaks from studying, he'd talk to his viewers

And when I tell you this man has the driest humor ever—

That's what got his channel to grow

Viewers would clip his dry ass jokes and post them onto other social media platforms, which caused his view counts to blow up

As he got more and more popular, his viewers would beg him to do gaming streams

With how dry his humor is, they thought his commentary would be gold…

And they're absolutely correct, they get to see a different side of him too

Surgeon simulator is the very first game he was introduced to by his fans, to get him interested in gaming

Man's cursing every time when he accidentally drops something

"Now, we put this lung over— Shit."

Cue chat spamming the Kek emote

It's been months since he started to stream and things are going pretty well for him

He comes back home from his lectures today to find his Discord server is filled with loads of fans telling him to check a game out, mostly because of a certain character

The general chat is flooded with hundreds, and I mean hundreds of pictures of them

And Lo and Behold

It is you

The moment he first has his eyes on you, his jaw drops

God DAMN YOU LOOK FINE AS HELL

Not to mention that harness you have on you—

Ahem

Anyways

He doesn't even know who you are or what game you're from

But man he's head over heels for you already

The next time he starts his stream, the first thing he says is:

"Everyone was going crazy on Discord yesterday about a game character. And now my question is…

"Who are they and which game are they from?"

Babygirl took his first step into the world of simping <3

I remember, back in mid 2010’s when I’d see fanart of characters from X show interacting with characters from Y movie, and it always threw me off, because most of the time it didn’t make any sense, or the characters were completely mischaracterized and self indulgent to the artists. I think I understand the appeal of it now! I bet younger me would be horrified—It’s sooo much fun to imagine what their dynamics would be! Take this in the most light-hearted, humorous tone.

Anyway, think about the Lawndale-Townsville-Drama High where it’s basically the characters from Daria, the PPG, and TD having to co-exist. Daria is the least fantastic of the three shows, but I could easily incorporate their realistic and witty humor. TD became crazier towards season 3 and onwards so powers for the girls would still fit. Take in consideration that the girls and boys are basically molded to my headcanons and enjoyment, imagining a world where they are aged up.

Their personalities stay somewhat the same. I sprinkled a little bit of crack shipping cuz it’s silly and fun. I am open for any ideas or suggestions :P

Tiffany is an implied crackhead so maybe she’d bond with Butch over that; then there’s Kevin who can drive any person with common sense mad, even Boomer; a flustered bi Brick, maybe they were playing truth or dare or something; for the next one I was thinking about the episode where BC goes with this sensei to deal with her issues, so maybe she’d partake on yoga next, thinking that it would give her a minute of silence and peace; I recently watched the episode where Brittany attempts to dye her hair, maybe she’d spiral and Bubbles would feel bad but not too sure about what to do; and lastly, Blossom and Gwen, maybe they’re reading something goth and Blossom is open to expanding her horizons in literature!

Something I really appreciate about your writing is that you make the kids feel like actual teenagers. I have to ask, how do you get the characterization down when your writing? It's something I struggle to do, even when I go back to the original source.

Going back to the original source is a good start. Characterization goes deeper than simply ‘this character is nice’ or ‘this character is funny.’ Let’s look at Izuku for example. He’s kind and smart, but so are several other students. Something specific to him is that he doesn’t have much of a sense of humor; he doesn’t tell any jokes and rarely laughs at those made by others. Compare this to someone like Uraraka, who occasionally makes teasing comments about her friends, versus Sero or Mina who make jokes at the expense of their classmates pretty often. Back to Izuku, this fact about him contributes to a general sense of his social awkwardness, which my writing interprets in a few additional ways. I feel like his lack of humor and awkwardness would extend to trouble with nicknames, giving or receiving, further evidenced by his struggling in canon to call Tsuyu by the nicknames she wants to be called by. Kacchan on the other hand is out of habit, which combined with his issues visualizing One for All as a part of himself early on indicates he has a hard time breaking habits once he’s set on them. Even the fact that it took him so long to realize that he could adopt a kicking fight style is more evidence of this. And then a reoccurring feature in my fics is that Izuku isn’t a touchy-freely person. There’s not much evidence in canon for this, except that despite him and his Mom being close, they don’t touch often. This might not actually be the case, but that’s part of where my idea came from, and it fits back into that awkwardness. Little things like that can say a lot about a character and how they approach different situations.

As for writing teenagers in general, a common mistake i see in both fic and original content is the assumption that all you need to write believable teenagers is to throw in a bunch of modern slang and references. Think Riverdale, bad crack fics, and 90s anti-drug PSAs. Not only is this often handled poorly (incorrect slang use or misjudged references) it also quickly dates the writing. Memes can take years to reach big names in the entertainment industry, and then it takes another few years for a movie featuring those memes to come out. By then, the meme is dead and cringe. In this day and age, memes can have a much shorter shelf life, living and dying within a week. Even if you release an fic chapter during the peak of a meme’s life cycle, it’s only going to be funny to the people who read it then and there; everyone who jumps on the fic later will just cringe. And there’s no way to tell which ones with have the staying power of something like a rickroll or a classic vine.

The solution: don’t do this. Avoid overusing slang and meme speak, and instead implement more general/timeless dialogue. Slang like ‘dude’ has been in the lexicon long enough that it feels normal, and while ‘mood’ and ‘vibe’ are fairly new, they aren’t as obtrusive as ‘bae’ which is falling out of style, or ‘boomer’ which references a specific group of people. Basically, the more general and common, the better. And keep the time period of your story in mind; MHA for example takes place at least a century in the future, why would the kids of that era still be complaining about boomers? Teenagers still act immaturely sometimes and make jokes, but try and find the humor in the specific situation of the story rather than quoting something else. Teens are also more openly casual than adults. Teasing, touching, maybe saying something rude or inappropriate. One simple way to convey casual speech is to use more contractions; i.e. ‘can’t’ instead of ‘cannot’ or ‘we’re gonna’ instead of ‘we are going to.’ This is my advice for all dialogue: read it to yourself outloud and ask if it sounds like something a real person would actually say. Exaggeration is also good. ‘My life is over!’ when their crush doesn’t like them back, or a big group groan at a pop quiz.

As for the internal experience of being a teenager, the thing i remember most about being that age in the tension between suddenly being expected to be ready for things and take care of myself when i didn’t feel ready, but still being treated like a dumb child in other ways i thought i was ready for. You start understanding more things when you get older and want people to take you seriously as a result, but you’re also insecure about the things you don’t understand and maybe overcompensate. In short, being a teenager comes with a lot of confusing, frustrating changes, some of which are absolutely unfair, but there are a few you genuinely bring upon yourself.

Hope this helps you get started. If not, or you have other questions, the ask box is always open.

**Facebook: out of touch boomers with unrelateable senses of humor and terrible judgement, corporate-funded misinformation campaigns, and a lot of dead accounts.

**Pinterest: has a completely unearned reputation as a refuge of wholesome internet users. that's just the surface. dig a little deeper and you will see a toxic landscape of hate-filled conspiracy theories, and misinformation that would make an american politician blush.

**Instagram: small businesses, people who like to take pictures of food, the incredibly vain, and """cosplayers""" who don't really cosplay, and their """devoted""" fans. the """cosplayers""" may or may not be advertising for their account on another infamous website. fake meme community that steals memes and claims they made them.

*Reddit: Memers, degenerates, fedora-tipping faux intellectuals with one brain-cell and a god complex. most users have an infantile understanding of all of the following subjects: science, history, religion, politics, economics, philosophy, morality, law, propriety, and basic hygiene; they also ALWAYS believe that they have a perfect mastery of all of these subjects. Mostly left-wing, kinda pathetic.

4chan: Memers, degenerates, people with a bizarre degree of programming knowledge and way too much time on their hands. everyone is an extremist, regardless of ideology, but they somehow seem to get along. Mostly right wing, kinda scary.

*Tumblr: Wasteland of dead accounts. Once dominated by porn addicts and their favorite artists, as well as the most deranged elements of various fandoms. used to be the domain of insane leftoids, but is now ironically probably the most centrist entry on this list. members are either moderately gay, moderately religious, very into witchcraft, or some combination thereof. also dominated by small echo-chambers with ideologies so fragile that they shatter the moment they try to interact with anyone else.

Twitter: dominated by insane rightoids. formerly dominated by insane leftoids, who went extinct when an asteroid struck. so insane that screenshots of their posts is a form of entertainment on virtually every other platform.

*Youtube Comments: The worst aspects of reddit and pinterest somehow rolled into one.

Discord: All I know is that the mods can't be trusted.

Tik Tok: I am too old to understand this site, but it gives me bad vibes.

*I'm currently on this site

**I used to be on this site.

GOT7 REACTION — what the members would be like as older brothers

REQUEST — Hi, so if it's cool with you could you do a headcanon about what got7 would be like as older brothers?

LISTEN TO — don quixote by seventeen

MARK

facetimes you like once every three months but always answers you when you call him

seems like the type to text you “how do i do xyz” and it’s like the simplest shit ever but he’s simply a boomer and gets confused aww (KIDDING)

gets super pissed when you tell him about any friend drama

and he’s always on your side, no matter what

honestly very sweet to you. medium forgets you exist for a little while but he treats you very well otherwise LOL

「 jaebeom 」

why do i have the feeling y’all had beef when you were younger??

like he’d definitely have bullied you as kids

pulling the ��i’m older so you have to do what i say!!!’ card all the time

but as you both got older and wiser things got way better between you and now you’re his little bestie

he takes you everywhere with him and you have the same sense of humor so you have lots of inside jokes. you’re even friends with lots of his friends. everyone jokes that they like you more

「 jinyoung 」

the most PROTECTIVE older brother ever

feels the need to vet everyone around you for whatever reason. and it’s always something stupid too like after driving y’all somewhere he’d be like: nah they didn’t pass the vibe check. they didn’t know that one song i played 😒😒

and if you wanted to start dating???

goodbye

he’d treat everyone you brought over as if they were the sketchiest person ever. acts way tougher than he is and definitely would be passive aggressive until they won him over

but also he always pays for your dinner and he always wants to know what’s going on with you

「 jackson 」

jackson has the chillest older brother energy in my humble opinion

like i think he would definitely be protective of you and your energy. he never wants to hear that anyone has done you dirty

that’s when he’d get aggressive but if not then he thinks your life is your business

but also he wants to know EVERYTHING. like mf is NOSY bahaha but he wants to seem like he doesn’t care too much

「 youngjae 」

jae definitely has that shows up in your room, touches three things, then walks out and leaves the door open brother energy

never communicates his feelings directly

but he’d peel your perilla leaves for you, cut your food into bite size pieces, tie your shoes for you if your hands are full, take off your makeup if you come home too drunk to do your skincare

basically acts of service is his love language

he never wants to say that he loves you because he thinks that’s weird but he still thinks you’re the cutest younger sibling ever

「 bambam 」

the type to sit with you while you’re getting ready and just play different songs and gossip with you. then proceeds to say that he helped LMAO

always takes your pictures for you. and he’s so well trained. he always knows the right angles

probably would try to date one of your friends but he’d give it a rest if you really get angry and yell at him about it

but also all of your friends would like him because he’s so easy to hang out with and somehow he’s just always around

also it’s giving: don’t worry kiddo. this one’s on me.

but only after he pretends not to have his wallet on him or something 💀

「 yugyeom 」

like a silent little bodyguard

he’d be the type to unknowingly be a really scary older brother to everyone else, but to you he’s just this little softy

as kids he always read you bedtime stories and got you ready for school in the morning

low key gets emotional that you’re growing up

i think you guys would just be super close and have that relationship that everyone wishes they had with their sibling

but when you fight you FIGHT. like you rarely argue over stupid things so if y’all are beefing it’s definitely over something major

#got7 #got7 reactions #got7 imagines #got7 x reader #got7 fluff #got7 headcanons #got7 jb #jaebeom #jackson want #yugyeom #bambam #youngjae #mark tuan #park jinyoung

I’m back with yet another long post

Going through Freddino’s filmography and body of work (because why not?) recently has been entertaining. I’ve changed my mind about a few of his work, some I used to like better, some I’ve fallen in love with again, and some I continue to hate. Ladies Man is one of those shows that I just cannot stand. I’ve watched it over a decade ago and didn’t like it. I thought maybe I’ll change my mind if I give it a second chance but it’s the type of a sitcom that just ages badly.

Ladies Man is basically the ‘Ugly Guy, Hot Wife’ trope. A trope is: a theme or device used in storytelling. They are usually common or overused. We can think of them like clichés, but on a greater scale.

There’s an entire website dedicated to TV tropes. This is their entry regarding the ‘Ugly Guy, Hot Wife’ trope:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HugeGuyTinyGirl

‘Huge Guy, Tiny Girl’ trope.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UglyGuyHotWife

An excerpt from the entry:

“While actors are held to a high standard of attractiveness, there are still leading roles available for plain looking guys, funny fat guys, and average joes (especially in comedy, which is one of the main reasons why this trope is so common in sitcoms). Many times, the guy is overweight due to the stigma. The beauty standard for women, however, is much higher; in order to be a leading lady it is an unspoken prerequisite that you are at the very least physically attractive.”

Freddino is huge (maybe not as huge as he is now but compared to every single woman co-star, he is pretty big), works with furniture, married to a hot, “small” wife. Another examples besides Ladies Man are According to Jim and The King of Queens though the latter is a bit better.

If we can overlook the physical attributes, the characters and their personalities are not helping.

This doesn’t apply entirely to the show but it has a fair resemblance:

“ [...] popular use of the trope is to have the hot wife be beautiful on the outside only, and on the inside she's a manipulative, materialistic, spiteful bitch who doesn't deserve her Henpecked Husband's kindness, especially if he is just a Meal Ticket for her. This could lead to An Aesop that looks aren't everything and that appearances are often deceptive.” From: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HenpeckedHusband

Jimmy is a man’s man, he takes care of everyone, works hard, and just wants to play golf and Donna is just a meanie. She love shoes, she is controlling and wants things go her own way, gatekeeps the finances (and children’s names), withholds sex, doesn’t allow her husband to have adult magazines.

I absolutely loathe shows that depict women as emotional and illogical and they get their own way at the end because their husbands lOvE them and “you can’t win with women”. I hate the “my wife is being unreasonable and illogical but I wove love her” premise in those sitcoms.

Have you been in a relationship? Are you married? It doesn’t work like that at all. If it did, this is definitely abuse.

This is somewhat similar to Boomer Humor (Google it) where either the husband hates the wife or both of them hate each other. I’m convinced Ladies Man was the blueprint of According to Jim because my god these two shows are practically the same and the plain misogyny is suffocating.

The themes of the episodes:

Jimmy vs Women (or should I say females?):

Every episode is about all the women being pitted against Jimmy while Jimmy is just trying to live/have fun/do something for himself. It always ends up with the women winning and Jimmy not only realizing his “mistake” but making it up to everyone. It’s like he can’t be himself, do the things he love, live his life without being punished. To a lot of women viewers, they’d consider this theme a “win” and a justified power move. It’s not actually and this just perpetuates the idea that marriage is a prison and men are miserable.

Men are men and women are women:

Men are visual beings, horny, ogle women. Jimmy and the young swimming instructor, Jimmy wanting sex after his wife just gave birth, Jimmy has/keeps an adult magazine, Jimmy defends men’s action regarding being attracted to other women.

Donna is severely insecure, Donna is controlling, Donna and the rest of the women can go through public tantrums, Donna and the women’s idea of feminism is childish, Donna and the rest of the women can weaponize their tears (as in women only and exclusively cry to get their way).

Problems with the show:

Modernity:

Half, if not all of the episode themes won’t be acceptable today. Scrutiny through the lens of modernity will lead to Ladies Man being an awful, misogynistic show. The jokes won’t land in today’s world. Not only because they are not funny, but also the content will be unacceptable in today’s atmosphere.

A simple example would be the young swimming instructor episode: they didn’t say how old she is but she definitely was a teenager or a young adult. Yet Jimmy was into her and everyone was okay with it because “boys will boys” thing. Do you think this will fly today? The show is just a repeated cycle of situations where misogyny and internalized misogyny are prevalent.

It’s not genuinely funny:

I grew up watching American and a few British and Australian sitcoms. The 90s were a golden era for such shows. Not every show was good and humorous. I realize the 90s were a different era and humor was way, WAY different back then but there are many classic shows that survived the test of time. Compare Ladies Man to the Golden Girls (one of my favorite shows, not because Freddino is a huge fan). It was so progressive and surpassed its era. It is still one of the best sitcoms worldwide. English isn’t my first language and I’m not an American (or a western for that matter) but I can definitely say Golden Girl was a huge hit for more than three decades.

Freddino is usually funny and he is a great actor no doubt. Same can be said for Betty White and Dixie Carte. But they aren’t funny at all. The comedic timing is off for every character and the jokes just fall flat.

You could say humor is subjective which is not entirely true:

https://qhhsubiquity.com/4735/humor/humor-isnt-as-subjective-as-you-think-it-is/

Also, Humor does/sometimes change as you grow older:

https://www.karger.com/Article/Fulltext/351005

The comedy scene was male dominated for decades

Another reason for this show being awful is that the writers of most sitcoms especially in the 90s were men. This explains a lot actually. Though I did check the writer’s page of Ladies Man and there were a few women writing an episode or two but it was not specified which episodes they wrote. The creator is a man though. I bet the episode of pressuring or nagging Dona into having sex is definitely written by a man.

I understand not everyone is the same. I actually did read IMDb reviews and was amused by the positive reviews. Rotten Tomatoes on the other hand is where shit got real lmao:

‘The fatal flaw is that nothing about Ladies Man rings remotely true. Not the characters. Not the relationships. Not the premise. Every scene is from Sitcom 101: setup, punch line, reaction; setup, punch line, reaction.”

Relationships are NOT like that. And yes it the typical, boring 90s sitcoms formula.

“Last time I checked, being whipped and belittled incessantly had little real comic value. Ladies Man is no exception.”

Ugh.

Unfinished Synfic #4

The afterlife is overrated anyway

Jujutsu Kaisen | Okkotsu Yuuta x Reader, ghosts, crack-ish, humor, silliness

“Are you a cursed spirit?”

Oh, please! AY★KA sniffs, turning her nose up. The only curse here is that I’m stuck with these two ultra boomers. Their tastes are so awful I can’t wait to move on to the afterlife.

You glance at the two ‘ultra boomers’. Komatsu Yoshitsune shifts from where he stands, an indication of awkward discomfort. I take offense at the accusation that we are a curse. There’s a pause, then he adds hastily, And an ‘ultra boomer’, whatever that means.

Yamashina no Sadatomo remains calm and unbothered. You’ve never seen him break in your entire life. A strip of shadow / across a bright flower field / radiance engulfs resentment.

“So that’s a no, too.” You return to Okkotsu, whose expression you want to chortle at. “You heard them. Not cursed spirits.”

He looks at you funny. “That’s not how it works.”

Notes: I've already written 4k words of this, but it's just the introduction of the OC ghosts, which I've enjoyed writing. Basically reader-chan can see ghosts and can help them cross the afterlife. There are three ghosts who's stuck with reader-chan, and this is where Yuuta comes in. He notices the ghosts and mistakes them for cursed spirits (I don't know if cursed spirits are ghosts or vice versa, but let's pretend they're different in this fic). The fic is divided into three parts: the first one is the introduction of reader-chan and the ghosts (already written); the second one is the appearance of Yuuta; and the third one is the conclusion/epilogue.

I don't know if I'll continue this actually; I haven't read jjk in a while, so what I know probably has already been jossed or something. But I actually like this concept, so should I continue this or not? (And post the first part in its entirety without concern about the second and third part?)

I. Dramatis Personae

There was once a child who was a little different from the rest: tiny little child with clean fingers and dainty little steps—and with the oddest sets of phrases directed to anybody who would want to engage in a little talk.

“Hello, there,” one would say, as the child sat alone in the playground surrounded by small plastic animals. A few ways away four children were playing tag, ignoring this little one who was also ignoring them. “Why are you playing alone?”

The child didn’t look up. The nearest plastic toy—a blue ostrich—was stuck halfway through the ground, its feet brushing against the child’s shoe. A breeze whipped by, bringing with it a cold flash that could cause goosebumps on one’s skin.

The child finally answered after allowing the joyful wails of the other children to fade away. “I’m teaching Sada-pyon the proper names of these animals. He’s a grownup but he doesn’t know what a dinosaur is and what a panda looks like. He says strange things but they’re funny.”

“I see …” There seemed to be no adults in the immediate vicinity. Perhaps this Sada-pyon just went to buy a drink from a vending machine? “Will Sada-pyon take a while to come back?”

“Oh!” The child finally looked up. Surprise flitted across those wide, innocent eyes. A couple of children ran past them, their laughter sharp and shocking in the sudden quiet.

The child blinked, tilting slightly askew, as though something behind was more fascinating. There’s a thin ringing behind one’s ears, like tinnitus, but it grew louder and louder and more unnerving with each second of prolonged silence.

“Sada-pyon never left,” the child said. A pudgy finger pointed to something that’s not there. “He’s just there, smiling at you.”

#unfinished synfic #jujutsu kaisen x reader #jjk x reader #okkotsu yuuta x reader #jjk x you #jjk imagines #jujutsu kaisen x you #jujutsu kaisen imagines #okkotsu yuuta x you #i love ghost AY★KA #i'm committed to having Sadatomo speak only in tanka poetry

Loki having a short friend and their entire relationship is basically this video.

https://youtube.com/shorts/bAW45r_WDkI?feature=share

New Y/N variant found!

The video says unavailable, but as the 2nd shortest friend I will try my best

Platonic ✨

The teasing is just worse, let's get that out of the way

On the plus side, you can hide while Loki takes the "disappointed father/uncle/whatever tf Odin is look"™

He will walk just for the sole reason of using your head as an arm rest

He's the shortest in the family, so you know damn right he's only teasing you cause he can't tease Thor and Odin doesn't have humor (fucking boomer)

Will pick you up so you can slap the shit outta someone who's extremely tall, like Ares and Thor tall

His shirts are your shirts, it's a bestie thing

So don't complain when he walks up with your leggings on

Staying up until 5am is a must on saturday's

You both have shark costumes and did this

For some reason you can get out of trouble, but that's a secret

Thor sees horns and a tail on you two when together

Odin sees extra stress

The dark humor is great

So is the stupidity

Like normal besties both IQ's drop to the negatives when together

Both of you also whooped Poseidon's ass in mario kart but shhhh he doesn't know it was you two-

controversial opinions: erwin would prefer modern/contemporary art museums because he'd find the art more interesting to analyze and read about, erwin is a bit of a bastard man, erwin actually has a good sense of humor (bit cheeky even, in a casual and subdued way) + he does appreciate good banter with people he trusts, although he values traditions and customs erwin isn't as traditionalistic as people think, erwin isn't necessarily scholarly by nature, "erwin never cries or gets emotional" ???

Finally someone's not asking for smut LMAO

Erwin would prefer modern/contemporary art museums:

At first, I was like nah I don't think so but when I actually considered it, I think you're right??? This man likes puzzles and he likes putting his brilliant brain to use to let everyone around him know that he's smart af so maybe, just maybe, he does prefer modern art but he's also appreciating the older, classic, renaissance whatever it's called, art.

Erwin is a bit of a bastard:

That he is LMAO especially canon!Erwin. If you think canon!Erwin will ever love you, you are a total idiot LMAOOO this man will only use you if you have something to offer and he WILL be feeling bad about it but he still won't stop cuz you're actually pretty helpful with something (fighting titans or being very brilliant strategically or whatever). This man doesn't know how to do this weird thing called feelings.

I know y'all are deprived of the perfect man and you imagine that Erwin IS the perfect man y'all need, but let's be honest with ourselves, he's anything but perfect. He's a manipulative son of a bitch who's going to use up everything you have to offer and you won't even be mad about it.

Erwin has a good, cheeky sense of humour:

On that, I will disagree, Erwin has a terrible sense of humour when all he's making is dad jokes that only he laughs at AHAHAHA ERWIN HAS BOOMER humour ok? this man has no idea how to have fun, all he's focused on is his work and his duties and whatever boring thing you can think about. He doesn't make jokes, but when he does, only he and Miche laugh istg but he DOES appreciate good banter with people he trusts I AGREE on that.

A joke that Erwin would say: "I have a joke about vegetables... but it's corny."

queue crickets chirping in the background

Athough he values traditions and customs, Erwin isn't as traditionalistic as people think:

It's me, I'm people AHAHAH I do think that Erwin is a traditional man and LET'S BE REAL and consider that all canon events take place in a WWII kind of era, so if we really want to be canon, consider that he's a military commander in the 1940s-1950s. What we call now traditional was modern for them back then lmaooo and because I have a smalllll fixation with those decades (cuz I've been writing an original book with an erwinlike character that takes place in the 50s) a military man in WWII who used to fight nazis for breakfast would be a man that we would totally call traditional today.

Traditional meaning that he'll be the one to provide for you, he'll work day and night, he'll be bringing you flowers and chocolate boxes whenever you're having an anniversary. He's a soft dom (or rough if you ask him to lmao) BASICALLY he's 100% a dom, TO SUM IT UP he is everything your grandpa/great-grandpa was in his prime I guess.

BUT if we're talking about modern AU erwin, then yes, I will agree. Modern!AU Erwin is not as traditionalistic as most would think he is. Such traits and mindsets are vastly dependent on where and when someone was born ofc.

Erwin isn't necessarily scholarly by nature:

If his father wasn't killed by the government when he was just a child, he wouldn't have thrown himself in books and conspiracy theories and historical books. IF Erwin's dad never died and he had grown up normally, he probably wouldn't have joined the army at all???? Im not sure, just saying that his father's death had a huge impact on his life and his decisions.

But I DO think that he's a bookworm??? In every scene we have of him in snk he's in his office surrounded by hundreds of books LMAO if that ain't a nerd right there, idek what is. I BET in modern AU he'd be wearing glasses too.

LET'S BE HONEST a man who reads and studies and is literally buried in books IS HOT. I DON'T WANT MY MAN DUMB and Erwin certainly isn't

Erwin never cries or gets emotional:

NOT in front of others. And even when he does breakdown, it's very, very, VERY rare. He does have the 'im a big strong man and big strong men are not allowed to cry' ego. He IS harsh on himself but most of the time he's trying to ignore all the burdens and guilt and regret that befalls him that eventually pile up and he's breaking down and crying, but EVEN THAT is silent and quiet.

I imagine him TOTALLY ALONE with his back against one of his many bookcases, seated on the floor, messy hair, wrinkly shirt, unshaved face, a total mess, crying silently cuz every time he closes his eyes all he sees are friends that he's the one who's sent them to their deaths.

Listen, canon!Erwin suffers probably more than most characters in snk (actually no everybody suffers in snk but you know what I mean ok?) he does act like the big strong commander with a resolve of steel BUT HE IS HUMAN and he DOES breakdown however silent it is.

There's lots of shit that comes with the position he has. No one could have ever dealt with all of this better than him, but he still breaks in the late hours of the night when no one is there to visit him and see him in a state that he doesn't want anyone to see him in.

And that's why hoes like me write fanfiction uwu

❄️Shiver's relationship with the Valorant agents (part 1) ❄️

Cupid: AAA I LOST THE QUESTION BECAUSE OF MY DUMB DUMB HEAD but!! Someone asked that what's Shiver's relationship/Dynamic with the agent

I believe @flooficandii asked! :3

Yoru

She can't understand this man AT ALL, whenever she ask him a favor he would say no but does it in the end?? He's very confusing for her

He likes to tease her and she finds it annoying

He tries to convince her by gambling/betting with him but she doesn't like those things (maybe she tried once and lost lmao)

She founds out about Jpop and loves it so much, Phoenix told her that maybe she can ask Yoru for suggestions since he listens to it also

he would say no and say "Why the fuck would I do that?"

...... Anyways he made her a playlist LMAO

They would listen to Jpop together:]

So far 8/10 for Shiver 👍 she thinks he should be nicer tho

Neon

They're close friends!

They bond by cooking together and trying out eachother's national food and compliment eachother's cooking :]

She thinks Neon is so cool though she easily drains her energy

Neon and Jett race eachother alot, they convinced Shiver to join the race

She sometimes decline those offers not because she's too lazy and couldn't catch up with them but because she feels like a third wheel on those two lol

Thanks to hanging out with Yoru, Shiver learned how to tease Neon about Jett but she only does that sometimes

Neon also loves to do makeovers with her, well at first Shiver doesn't know how to do makeup but Neon gets all excited and is willing to teach her or offer her that she'll be the one to do Shiver's makeup, and now shiver is good at makeup all thanks to Neon ;)

Over all Neon is a 9/10 for Shiver! :]

Sage

She absolutely LOVES Sage

She gets along with Sage very well and fully enjoys her company

She likes Sage because she's very calm and kind towards her and Shiver just loves her energy

Sage would teach her basic stuff about first aid kit just in case she's not around

They both would be having a tea together and talk about their day or even gossip (not in a harmful way though)

Sage and Shiver would probably be best friends because they always got eachother's backs and y'know Sage is important to Shiver

Sage kinda finds it concerning that Shiver is always asleep so she makes sure she wakes up Shiver and make her eat some food

They also would 100% go shopping together and buy new stuffs, Sage has perfect sense of fashion and will be the one who pick Shiver's clothes that suits her taste :D

She would be in Sage's work place and help around too

overall 100/10 for Shiver! 👍

Phoenix

He's actually her first friend when she's new to the protocol

Ofc he's the one who approached Shiver and introduce himself

Believe or not he's her best friend even though he's loud and Chaotic while she's quiet and lazy

Despite of their difference they get along very well

He may talk alot but she would listen to him even when she's tired/sleepy but she wont tell him that, not because she would feel bad if she tells him she's tired but because she just absolutely LOVE listening to him

Phoenix finds it funny that she's a boomer and bad at gadgets but is willing to teach her

He would crack jokes with her and she'll be laughing, him and her have the same sense of humor

Whenever when Phoenix has an idea she's always be his number 1 supporter but when the idea is dumb or dangerous she always talks him out of it

Overall 10/10 for Shiver 👍

(I colored this one because I somehow got the motivation to do so hehe)

Shadow Warrior (1997)

Shadow Warrior is a 1997 first-person shooter developed by 3D Realms. It’s essentially their immediate follow-up to their previous game, Duke Nukem 3D released the previous year. It’s very similar to their previous game in many ways, it’s another first-person shooter using the Build engine. A lot of what I said about Duke Nukem 3D applies to this game.

What is more distinct about Shadow Warrior is that the developers at 3D Realms were more familiar with the Build engine and thus able to push its limits even further. The faking of room-over-room is more sophisticated in this game. For example, water surfaces are now transparent, hiding the teleports going from the surface to below water even better. And Shadow Warrior might be the first FPS to feature sections where you could drive vehicles and use gun turrets. Keep in mind, this was four years before Halo. And weapons feature alternate fire modes that you could use by right-clicking, another innovation that would become standard in the years to come. Another minor innovation that would become ubiquitous is that there are useable ladders.

There isn’t much else to say, it’s similar solid boomer shooter action compared to 3D Realms’ previous game. If you liked Duke Nukem 3D, you’ll probably enjoy Shadow Warrior.

And liking Duke Nukem 3D might also mean you are able to stomach some painful 90s cis white dude humor, which kinda is a prerequisite for enjoying Shadow Warrior too.

It’s honestly quite a bit worse, mostly because this game ends orientalist/racist humor to the mix. If Duke Nukem is a parody of 80s action movies, Shadow Warrior is a parody of kung-fu movies, and also pop culture ninjas and anime. If that mix sounds like a weird mash-up of Chinese and Japanese culture, that’s becauseit literally is. This game stars Lo Wang, a horny old chinese man who seems right out of a Hong Kong martials arts movie, but actually he is a ninja who lives and works in Japan. He even has a katana and shurikens as weapons. He is voiced by a white man* doing a stereotypical chinese accent. It’s just as stereotypical and offensive as you might think, and popular white American impressions of Chinese and Japanese pop culture are mixed together into an one big “Asian” joke. Lo Wang’s name is basically just one recurring dick joke. The sexy naked women from Duke Nukem return, but this time the sprites are drawn in an anime-style.

(*The white man in question was the late voice actor John Galt. It turns out the real answer to “Who is John Galt?” is “the voice of Lo Wang in Shadow Warrior” although Galt was born before Atlas Shrugged was written.)

It’s no surprise that Duke Nukem has endured as a character, being memed about to this day, and people like Clint LGR or Gianni Matragrano have great fun doing their Jon St. John as Duke Nukem impression in youtube videos, while Lo Wang is kinda forgotten. If a gaming youtuber did a Lo Wang impression today it would be a scandal, and rightly so. This is despite Shadow Warrior unlike Duke Nukem having a succesful reboot series starting in 2013, with the third game in the reboot series released as recently in 2022. But the 2013 reboot reimagined Lo Wang pretty much beyond all recognition, precisely because of all the racial stereotyping in the original.

The original game does have some solid action gameplay though. And I do appreciate some of the gunplay in this game. You get a missile launcher, basically the standard FPS RPG weapon, except one of its alternate firemode is literally a tactical nuke. You can easily kill yourself with it, and the only viable method of using it is firing it and hiding behind a corner to avoid getting hurt by the blast. It’s amazing. I can’t fully condemn an FPS game that allows you to carry and use nukes. To quote Lo Wang himself when he picks a nuke up. “I like nuclear weapons” (in games).

The original Shadow Warrior is now available free of charge on GOG. And you can use dosbox to emulate MS-DOS, but a better alternative is the sourceport VoidSW which is based on and is included with downloads of the Duke Nukem 3D sourceport eduke32.
