I'm thinking again about how much it annoys me when fics make Parmak a follower of the Oralian Way and Garak a scornful atheist when the material they draw on for that characterization portrays Garak as religious and as this being apart of his heritage- and connects Parmak to the Oralian Way in no way whatsoever. Aside from my general feelings about Hebitians and class in Cardassian society it makes my eye twitch because it almost feels like its implying they're like this because of their respective moralities and implying religious people are inherently good and kind and atheists are... whatever you want to call Garak... is pretty fucked.

GORTASH NSFW ALPHABET
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they're like after sex)
hmm honestly feel like it depends on if hes feeling u or not. if he was just trying to catch a nut hes rude af. like before he leaves he'll throw a wet rag at u. and he used cold water to get it wet 🥲 BUTTTT if he really does like u i think he'll prolly run a bath for u both or something. i can see him washing ur hair/body for u 🥺
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner's)
his chest duhhh lol thats why he walks around with his titties out. i think hes got a really good upper body in general. like shoulders/arms/chest. and i feel like hes an ass man. yes that means all booties ALL. he likes to spank, bite, and leave marks all over it. omggg the type to smack or pinch ur ass in public LMAO
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
yall already know im a firm believer that this man cums bucketfuls. he'll have u sitting there like "damn why is it still going" LMFAO almost exclusively wants to cum inside. to the point to where its hard to convince him not to. he wants to breed u sooo bad 😭😭
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
*NONCON MENTION* it gets him concerningly hard when u tell him no but let him do it anyway. like i dont think he would ever AGGRESSIVELY force u to do anything hence the "let him", but something about being able to change ur mind/overpower u does something to him *NONCON MENTION OVER*
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?)
well. i think hes an expert when it comes to pleasing himself (which is typically thru penetration, so for my AFABs if yall can finish vaginally just know he do be laying pipe 🤤) but he didnt really grow up caring about his sexual partners much lol. i do think he wants to please you though, like badly. thats the only reason hes willing to let u offer some guidance when it comes to giving oral/fingering u.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
mating press yall. like when he hooks ur legs over his shoulders and basically folds u like a lawn chair lol. also likes doggy though so he can pull ur hair and leave welts on ur ass lol.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
hes wayyyy too intense to be goofy at any moment while u guys are fuckin LMAO. like this man loves sex and gives his ALL. he puts his mf game face on and locks IN baby 😹😹
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
YESSSSSS !!!!! YES !!!!! this man is SO hairy EVERYWHERE !!!! the same texture as the hair on his head. im about to faint yall catch me
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
uhh. i can see him being kind of romantic on special occasions. but like i said hes pretty intense usually and to me that doesnt leave much room for romance lol. especially since he can be so mean too
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
yeah. like all the time. hes a hornball so if ur not around as an alternative he WILL be jizzing into his hand. omfg if yall are like, ever distanced from each other he will want to send nasty ass letters back and forth to keep him satisfied until u get back LMAO god forbid they ever end up at the wrong place
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
his office. will fuck on every surface and up against every wall. everyone else is afraid to touch anything in there 😭
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
he likes when u seem weaker than him, either in the sense that he has a physical or mental advantage over u. dont let anyone else treat u like that tho or he'll think ur a pussy lol
N = No (something they wouldn't do, turn offs)
^^ as i mentioned letting other ppl have the same power over u as he does is a turn off. so if ur like me u got to grow a backbone or get the boot 🥾🤾‍♀️ 😭😭  anyway. i dont think he'll be willing to do anything that makes him feel "lesser" or more submissive. i mean u could probably trick him into doing it if u make him think its his idea or something LMAO
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
i genuinely think he eventually gains an affinity for giving ??? he likes the sounds u make and the way u pull his hair. so yeah, gives lots of kisses and will mutter a lot of praises while down there too. dont get me wrong though u better be giving back too 😹😹
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
rough as fuckkkk bro. doesnt ever like to be gentle. sex just brings out a lot of aggression in him. u will be sore and bruised after. if u convince him to chill out he'll be a pouty baby about it
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
anywhere and everywhere possible. i dont think its a goal of his to be seen by others while doing it but i also dont think he cares so that doesnt really stop him
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
he'll try to get u to do all kinds of fucked up shit. including shit that is probably lowkey dangerous 😹😹 hes pretty sadistic so get ready gurl
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
15-20 mins max shawty lmao sorry 😹😹 and since he wants to act like a wild ape ur prolly not getting a round 2 since he wore himself out. but if u didnt get off in time he'll use his hand to help u finish even if hes sleepy 😴
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
will tease u at random times throughout the day by saying some absolutely horrendous shit in ur ear while ur in public and then acting like nothing happened. but usually doesnt want to waste much time before the act, so he might tease just enough to get u ready. nothing more though
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
heavy grunter and breather. will only moan occasionally if its really hitting right 😹😹 if u do get him to moan i can see it being decently loud. its like a reward
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
very high libido man........ prepare ur hole 🪦
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
sometimes he can stay awake long enough for aftercare but other times itll have to come after a power nap 😭 youll be like "bae how was it" and turn around to see him completely unconscious. snoring and everythang

Tighnari NSFW Alphabet pt. 1 ⊱☆⊰
Tumblr media
warnings: aside from the obvious smut, i hint at yandere tighnari briefly.
a/n: i was planning on posting this last friday but i completely forgot...hehe. i've been playing the star rail to the honkai or whatever the title is supposed to mean /j
PART TWO
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Laps up any type of marking he left on you during sex. Bite marks, love bites, etc. It comes to him as natural as breathing, it’s wired into the most primitive section of his brain to tend to his mate’s marks. If you were to point this out to him, he would get a little flustered and consciously try not to do it again (he always fails, by the way). You must let him know that you either think it’s cute or you don’t mind.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
His tail. Have you seen how many voice lines he has talking about his tail? Okay, to be fair, there's only three, I think. Point is, he takes great care of his tail and properly grooms it every day. So soft, fluffy, you could fall asleep on it with how pleasant it is. All thanks to the amount of attention and thorough routine he keeps it on. 
His ears are a close second, if only not for the occasional unwanted attention, they would be number one.
On his partner, he tends to deviate his attention to their neck and collarbones. This is yet ‘nother tendency that stems from his primitive side of marking up.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Mother nature did a great job at ensuring their species lives on for a long time because when Tighnari cums, it's gonna be a lot. And it's of a thick consistency, he always apologizes for how much he cums, because it always ends up trickling down your thighs and leaving you full. That is, of course, if you allow him to breed you. Otherwise, if he's cumming down your throat or outside, it's going to shoot quite far so you might want to be careful with that.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Scenting. Whether that's leaving his scent on you or vice versa. He's not touchy with just anyone, aside from general courteous gestures or when he must take care of some unfortunate adventurer. When he really likes someone, he's more open to receiving physical contact. So, if you want to go in for a hug before you leave, he'll accept it gladly. The first time you hugged him, he didn't understand why he felt so pent up until he realized he could still smell your scent on his clothes and skin. That's when it clicked for him: one, his scent's still on you too, even if your nose might not be as sensitive as his; and two: he really, really likes having your aroma lingering around him. I'll leave to your imagination what he did with his hoodie that day. 
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
We can assume that, since his kin is based on fennec foxes, they put great value on interpersonal relationships. It's not common for them to get too close in that way just with anyone. Therefore, there's a good chance you're the first person he ever gets that comfortable with. If you'll indulge him, make sure you'll stay with him always, unless you want to trigger some not healthy amount of obsession with you. 
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
He tries to be romantic and go with the position he believes is the least nerve-wracking for you both and starts with missionary, which he progressively lets himself go and end up as a mating press. That's at least until you both get used to each other, and then he switches it up to you on your hands and knees, and, occasionally, prone bone. He prefers those positions because he believes it's more comfortable for him to latch on your neck and circle your waist with his arms. A movement which is necessary thanks to how rough he can get during it, his instincts tell him to hold on to you and keep you still to ensure you accept all of him.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Serious but if he sees you're tense he'll make some comment on something dumb to try to take your mind away from your nervousness. Although, he's more inclined to sort to comforting words rather than funny comments.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Trimmed. It can get quite bushy if left unattended, so I think he’d rather keep it trimmed.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
I see our beloved foxboy gravitate more towards being romantic during intimacy. He doesn’t mind telling you how much you mean to him, in fact—he wants you to feel loved. Although his words are sweet when you’re in that mood, his movements don’t get any softer. He really tries to be gentle, but if he notices you have a particular liking to him going harder, he can lose a bit of control.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
A vicious loop. His position as the lead forest watcher is a hectic one, he barely has any time for himself. Which aids on his frustration build up more. On nights he can’t sleep because of all that pent up stress, he resorts to it.

hi there, there's tons of good omens fics where aziraphale turns human and doesn't remember anything of their past while crowley stays near and protects him/befriends him/ etc. Are there any fics where crowley is the one turned human? I couldn't find any fitting tags :((
Hello. We have a #turned human tag that you can browse. Here are some fics in which Crowley is turned human or loses his memory at least believes he's human, some of which will have already been recommended...
Every Atom Belonging to Me by triedunture (T)
Crowley is rendered temporarily mortal after a run-in with a-- Well, it doesn't really matter. What matters is he needs to eat and sleep and do the things humans must do if only for one night. Aziraphale can help with the eating bit, at least. A cozy, sweet evening with tea, drinks, food, poems, and warm blankets.
The Good Demon by HolyCatsAndRabbits (T)
In this AU fic, Hell thinks the demon Crowley isn’t evil enough to merit the title of demon. As punishment, they turn him mortal, and if he wants his old job back with his powers and immortality, he’s got to seduce and cause the Fall of some angel named Aziraphale, who is serving as a campus chaplain, running a group for queer youth. Crowley thinks the assignment will be easy, until he meets the angel and his students, and discovers the kind of found family that he’s always wanted. There’s just one little problem: Crowley is a terrible danger to them all.
feel my fortune tell me by nobirdstofly (E)
“And you bet… what? With whom?” “Oh, with me!” Muriel exclaims. “Mr. Crowley bet me that I couldn’t convince a customer I was human!” “Barmy woman,” Crowley fills in. “Think you could have told her the coatrack was a human.” He sounds so grouchy about it that Aziraphale wants to bundle him in a blanket and set him by the fire with spiked cocoa.
Crowley loses a bet and, temporarily, becomes a human. Aziraphale, predictably, frets.
Save Me by atimefeeler (T)
When Anthony wakes up in a hospital with no memory, he finds himself alone with nothing but a vaguely threatening note written in blood. In an attempt to save himself from an untimely death, Anthony goes about his life as if he wasn't currently suffering from memory loss. It really is too bad he can't figure out if his stunning partner if trying to kill him or not. Going on a date with him couldn't hurt, right? ... “Do you think perhaps you could come over to the bookshop?” Aziraphale asked, “I would so love to see you, dear.” “Yeah I- no!” Anthony nearly shouted and then clamped his hand over his mouth. “No? Why ever not?” “I can’t,” Anthony scrambled for what to say, “I’ve got-” ‘Diarrhea’ was on the tip of his tongue, but then Anthony caught a glimpse of his reflection in the black phone screen and blurted, “-an eye condition.” ... or- Crowley has no idea why his plan to pretend he doesn't have amnesia is proving to be so difficult. It might be because the poor guy is actually a demon.
Pray For Us, Icarus by Atalan (Series) (G-T)
For three centuries, Crowley has been reincarnated over and over as a human with no memory of his past. Aziraphale has tried to find a way to restore him to his true self, but all he seems to do is hurt them both. This time, he only means to steal a brief moment when he walks into Crowley's flower shop. But Crowley can't let it go...

The Sleepover part 2
https://www.tumblr.com/stevethemomharrigton/694062716548268032/the-sleepover?source=share
Summary: So, it’s about a month since Eddie started his plan. Y/N doesn’t remember about it, she thinks she dreamt the whole thing. But when she finds out that she is pregnant, she finds out...that it wasn’t a dream.
Warnings: DarkEddie, Non-con, Smut- Overestimation, forced orgasm, rough sex, unprotected sex, pervEddie, Fingering, 18+, Oral (M receiving)
------
It’s been about a month since Y/N’s sleepover at Eddie’s. It was supposed to be their last ever sleepover since her parents talked about moving out of Hawkins and all the way to California. Of course, Y/N made a huge fuss about it, but her dad had the final say.
But during the sleepover, Y/N had a weird wet dream of Eddie, which she didn’t mind, but it was too rough for her liking. 
After that for a month she had to pack all her things and during that time, she fell sick. Her parents thought she was faking it, because she didn’t want to move. But soon her mother started to notice something was familiar with her daughter’s sickness.
So, she went out and bought her daughter a pregnancy test. Y/N was scared to take it, but she took it. And to their shock and horror...it came back positive. Her father was FIROUS when he saw the test.
Father: “Are you out of your mind Y/N?!”
Y/N was freaking out, not understanding what was happening. She knew she didn’t have sex with anyone.
Father: “Me and your mother have told you MANY times, when you start to have sex, you MUST have protection!”
Y/N: B-But I don’t r-remember having sex!”
Father: “Then you must have gotten too drunk to remember!”
Y/N felt hurt that her father would EVER think she would drink.
Y/N; “I don’t even drink dad!”
Mother: “Then explain to us, how you got pregnant?”
Y/N tried to remember ever having sex. But then...she remembers that dream she had. She remembered how real it felt to her, and she then realized that it MUST have been real. She must have looked horrified, since her parents looked confused.
Mother: “Y/N what happened? W-Were you raped?”
Y/N nodded her head, since she knew what rape was, and she didn’t consent to Eddie doing that to her. Her father looked upset.
Father: “You were raped? You fucken expect me to believe that?”
Y/N and her mother looked at him shocked and upset.
Mother: “What are you getting at?! Are you trying to tell me that our daughter is lying?!”
Y/N’s father nodded her head, and her heart broke. Her mother looked pissed off.
Y/N: I-I don’t remember giving him consent. I-I was sleeping and-”
Father: “Why were you sleeping in a boy’s bed? I mean that’s basically asking for it.”
Y/N felt sick to her stomach listening to her father. Sure, she loves Eddie and is upset with him for doing this to her. But her father’s words hurt her more.
Mother: “What is wrong with you?!”
Father didn’t seem to care at all.
Father: “Well she was! And since he’s the child’s father...you can go live with him!”
They both looked up at him shocked. But Y/N had enough.
Y/N: “You know what! I will! It’s Eddie’s anyway!”
Her parents looked at her shocked, but she didn’t care. She ran out of her house, and all the way to Eddie’s trailer.
The moment she got there; she banged on the door. It opened up to show a pissed off Eddie, but he looked shocked as he saw Y/N since he hasn’t seen her all month.
Eddie: “Y/N? W-What are you doing here?”
Y/N stormed into his trailer, and he closed the door, and locked it just in case. He turned to face her, and she looked upset. He didn’t like that look on her face.
Y/N: “Y-You g-g-got me p-pregnant. S-So d-deal with it.”
Eddie looked shocked, but then grinned like a mad man. His plan worked and he was over the moon. He could tell that Y/N had a fight with her parents about it. He walked over to her and hugged her. She looked scared.
Eddie: “I am SO happy you aren’t moving away now! I promise you; I’ll take care of the BOTH of you.”
Y/N looked at Eddie shocked, but slowly nodded her head. He bought Y/N to his room and laid her down on his bed. He got on top of her and kissed her.
Eddie: “You look like you're in pain. Want me to make you feel better?”
Y/N nodded her head, and Eddie smirked at this. He reached his hand down to her thigh and lifted it over his shoulder. He then pushed his hand under her dress, and founded her V. He placed his middle finger on her clothed clit, and she gasped at the feeling.
Eddie: “Oh, did you like that~?”
Y/N moaned and nodded her head. Eddie rubbed her clit and she let out small whimpers. This made Eddie harder, and he picked up his speed. After a while, he moved her panties to the side and shoved his finger into her.
Y/N: “*Moans* E-Eddie w-would this hurt the baby?”
Eddie: “No, love. It won’t. Just lay there and let me make you feel good.”
Y/N nodded her head, and Eddie fingered her with another finger. After he was done, he pulled his cock out of his pants, and lined it up to her hole. 
He hipped his tip against her V and then pushed into her. Y/N let out a scream and he slammed his lips on her’s since he didn’t need her waking up his uncle.
He moved his lips to her neck and started sucking. Y/N moaned and placed her hand on Eddie’s back.
Eddie: “*Groans* You liked that didn’t you~?”
Y/N nodded her head, and he pulled his hips back and pulled is cock halfway out of her. Ge then thrusted back into her and started at a slow pace.
Eddie: “*Groans* God, you’re so tight~!”
He picked up his pace and Y/N moaned out as she clung to Eddie as if her life depended on him.
Eddie: “*Groans* L-Letting me use you like this Y/N~! God~! All I had to do was fuck you in your sleep to FIANLLY love me~!”
Y/N moaned and nodded her head.
Y/N: “*Moans* I-I love you Eddie~!”
Eddie almost came to that. He was SO happy that finally he got what he wanted. Y/N felt her wall tighten around Eddie’s cock and she moaned out loud.
Eddie: “*Groans* God fuck~! T-This is what you want~? M-My fucken cock shoving into your cunt~?”
Y/N nodded her head, and she moved her hands up to Eddie’s hair and tug on his curls. This turned Eddie on even more.
He picked up his speed which caused the bed to shake. He reached his hand down to Y/N’s clit and started rubbing it. This caused her to moan.
Eddie: “T-This is better than dreaming of my cock~?”
Y/N moaned and nodded her head. He used his other hand to grab a fist full of his bedsheets and he fucked into Y/N faster and deeper. Soon he felt his cock twitch and he picked up his speed.
Eddie: “*Groans* I-I’m going to cum baby~! Y-You want me to cum in you~?”
Y/N moaned and shook her head. This confused Eddie.
Y/N; “I-If you do that *Moans* I-It might hurt the baby~!”
That seemed logical and he nodded his head. Once Y/N came with a shout, Eddie pulls out of her and jacked himself off.
Eddie: “*Groans* God, I can’t believe it~! I-I got want I always wanted~! YOU~! Fuck you’re going to make the BEST mom~!”
Y/N panted and nodded her head, she reached up and shoved Eddie’s cock into her mouth and started sucking on it.
Eddie: “*Groans* God fuck~! Yeah, like that baby~! Take my cum like a good girl~!”
With that, he came into Y/N’s mouth, and she swallowed all his cum. They both panted and laid down on his bed. He placed his hand on her stomach as she fell to sleep.
Eddie: “*Sighs* I can’t wait until that baby pops out of you. Cause I’m going to shove another in you. Maybe...six more times, until you can’t have anymore.”

Common RPG advice is wrong, actually, part 2: Hit Points ARE Meat Points
Or: the dangers of believing everything the designers tell you
In Current Edition of the major fantasy rpg hit points are described as being not just a measure of the physical punishment you can take but as representing:
a combination of physical and mental durability, the will to live, and luck.
Which leads to the advice that most hits (while at high hit points) should actual be described as near misses, which the character has to exert themselves to avoid, and that actual wounds only occur when at low hit points. This just generally tends to confuse things for players as you keep describing mechanical hits as misses.
And this isn't a new thing. Mr G Gygax said something to the same effect (but in more words obviously) in 1st edition AD&D:
A certain amount of these hit points represent the actual physical punishment which can be sustained. The remainder, a significant portion of hit points at higher levels, stands for skill, luck, and/or magical factors.
Now this isn't a bad idea (although I think things like the BitD system of having separate mechanics for stress and physical harm is better), and it sounds good to a lot of people who think having characters be cut to pieces 5 times a day isn't realistic so the idea comes around a lot. But it falls apart because the idea only actually exists in these sections of 'advisory' text and isn't actually integrated into the mechanics of the game.
It isn't present in the language of 'hits', 'dealing damage' or 'health potions' (rather than 'near miss', ' dealing reduced will to fight', and 'skill and luck recovery potion' ). It doesn't mesh with things like high level characters being able to reliably shrug off falling from orbit or swimming in lava. It doesn't work with things like poisoned weapons (which must have actually pieced the skin for the effect to be applied no matter how many hit points you have left). It doesn't mesh with the fact that your AC or uncanny dodge already models a characters ability to avoid being hit. It doesn't fit with exhaustion existing as a mechanic for modelling fatigue. It doesn't fit with things that might reduce your 'will to fight' (like fear effects) or 'skill', or 'luck' never reducing your hit points. In fact the only things that reduce hit points are things that would cause actual damage to your physical body (or occasionally to your mind, but in the 'psychic magic melts your brain sense' rather than reducing your 'will to fight'). If the sentence telling you what hit points are supposed to represent wasn't present, then, nine times out of ten, someone trying to work it out from just the mechanics would have no idea it is supposed to have anything to do with anything other than how many times you can survive being stabbed. What has happened is that D&D characters started with very low numbers of hit points (meaning both at low levels and in early editions) and it made sense that a hit was a hit and after getting stabbed a few times you were dead. But then hit point totals grew (with levels and editions) and characters could be stabbed a lot of times and barely notice and people didn't think this was very realistic. Therefore, a post fact explanation was added to explain that HP didn't actually just represent how much physical damage you can take. in fact here is Gygax doing just that:
It is quite unreasonable to assume that as a character gains levels of ability in his or her class that a corresponding gain in actual ability to sustain physical damage takes place. It is preposterous to state such an assumption, for if we are to assume that a man is killed by a sword thrust which does 4 hit points of damage, we must similarly assume that a hero could, on the average, withstand five such thrusts before being slain! Why then the increase in hit points?
Why indeed. Well the answer is actually quite simple: the characters need to get stronger, therefore they need more hit points. The increased hit points come from a need of the game rather than from the fiction. The fictional explanation that it is
Because these reflect both the actual physical ability of the character to withstand damage — as indicated by constitution bonuses, and a commensurate increase in such areas as skill in combat and similar life-or-death situations, the “sixth sense” which warns the individual of some otherwise unforeseen events, sheer luck, and the fantastic provisions of magical protections and/or divine protection.
Is just applied after as a way to make sense of it but without a corresponding change in the mechanics to actually make this fiction part of the game. And that finally brings me to the point I wanted to make. Which is that you can't believe everything the designers put in the book. In addition to the actual mechanics and rules the designers will often include advisory or explanatory content (often in a little box to the side). Most of the time this is a good and helpful insight into what the mechanics are supposed to be doing. But sometimes the designers lie to you.
A common instance of this across many games is when the designers wax lyrical about how their game isn't just about combat but also about exploration and intrigue or whatever else but then you look at the mechanics and it is 97% about resolving tactical combat.
These passages are often about what the designer wanted their game to be, which in some cases hasn't actually lined up with the finished product. With D&D this is often because they are caught between their design goals and maintaining the sacred cows of D&D. If you wanted to rework HP to actually align with the idea that it doesn't just represent meat points then it wouldn't look like D&D hit points anymore.
A game I played recently that has a number of these 'little boxes full of lies' was numenera. It had the classic 'this game totally isn't just about combat'. There's also a bit trying to tell you that equal advancement isn't important and a lower level character isn't 'less powerful', which is a bold faced lie. Numenera characters absolutely balloon in power .
So in conclusion:
If its not an actual rule you can't necessarily trust that the things a designer says are actually present in the game.
Hit points are meat points. Embrace the fact that your high level martials can take a fireball to the face like its nothing.

Tumblr media
Standing on a small cliff and hiding behind bushes, Shoto used a pair of binoculars that were stored in the car. Behind him stood Katsuki as he tied the pair of men around the tree. The blonde couldn't care less of their safety after the men told them everything about their camp. Neither could Shoto. 
They both couldn’t believe how bad society crumbled. Trafficking girls of all ages for food and eating people was unbelievable. But, yet again, they’re living in a world infested with flesh eating corpses. These days, nothing is unbelievable. 
“Vehicle three, come in.” Shoto glanced at the blonde behind him then to the two-way radio on his hip then the men, “Who is vehicle three?”
When the men didn’t respond Katsuki stepped on the driver's leg, “You gonna answer or am I going to have to break your damn leg?”
The driver only glared at him which annoyed Katsuki. He didn’t take it kindly and forcefully stomped on his leg until he spoke. “Other people!” 
“Shut it before you draw those damn things.” Katsuki warned him.
“From your community?” Shoto quickly asked and spoke again when he received a nod, “Why three?”
SInce the passenger passed out a little while ago, the driver was their only source. Unfortunately, this only irked Shoto and Katsuki as the man seemed to share the same personality as the blonde. 
“This is vehicle three, heading to first gate.” Glancing away from the Katsuki and the driver, Shoto watched as a black car stopped at the gate.
Glancing away from the car, Katsuki added pressure to the man below him, “What vehicle are you?”
The man hissed in pain as he was sure a bruise was beginning to form, “Six!” 
“Six?” Katsuki quietly asked himself, “What the hell you mean by six?” A feeling of nervousness eased into him as he once again stared at the black car ahead. He didn’t like where this was going as it then clicked to him, “Six cars. There are other cars out there.”
Shoto pulled away from the binoculars, “Which means they're looking for survivors.” 
They both glanced at the chuckling driver as he smirked at them, “You’re so screwed.”
Glaring, Katsuki pistol whipped the male while Shoto once again stared ahead. His eyes widened though. He quickly called Katsuki over. Their breath hitched as they saw an unconscious Izuku with his arms and legs tied being dragged out of the car.
With the help of the binoculars, Shoto could tell that Izuku was wounded. The left side of Izuku’s shirt had dried blood which could possibly mean that his wound had reopened. His palms also seemed to be covered with blood and tiny cuts littered his arms. 
Huffing, Katsuki grabbed the binoculars from Shoto’s hand. He then watched as they dragged Izuku into a warehouse. Shoto quickly stood up, “We got to save him before they do something worse.” 
“Wait.” Katsuki's eyes widened. From behind the warehouse in which Izuku was put in, Katsuki saw a struggling F/n being carried by two men and heading to the warehouse. Her arms and legs were tied as well as her mouth. 
This time, Shoto grabbed the binoculars. A weight was lifted off his shoulders, “She’s alive. They’re both alive.”
“But they won’t be if we just sit here.” Katsuki ran off to the car, “Hurry up, Icyhot.” 
Opening the trunk, Katsuki began to grab weapons and a wire cutter, “Do you see any snipers?”
Shoto scanned the buildings and windows, “No. Two are guarding the warehouse, four are on the other side, and ten of them are standing near a brick building.”
Holding the pictures that displayed a gruesome image, Katsuki flipped through them once again as he noticed it had letters on the back, “Do the buildings have letters?”
Shoto nodded, “Warehouse is D, the brick building is G and the others are hidden by trees. Why?”
Katsuki pointed to where people are kneeling down then to the bodies hanging from the ceiling, “D and G.”
They both gave each other a knowing look. Even though their blood was boiling from the images, they both had to play it safe and they had to hurry up before time ran out. 
While handing Shoto a gun and wire cutters, Katsuki pointed down the hill in front of them, “You cut there. Those bushes are going to cover us. I go in first. You take out the one on the left.”
Shoto nodded and began to slowly head down the hill, “Don’t use your gun. You’ll draw noise towards us.”
Rolling his eyes, Katsuki followed after, “I fucking know that.”
Shoto kneeled down and steadily began to cut the fence. Sweat glided down his face as he tried to not rattle the fence. Katsuki eyed the G building that stood next to the D building. Although they were going in with little info, they couldn’t waste time. Any second and their friends might be dead. 
They just hoped that when they found Izuku and F/n, they would both be alive and breathing.

Absolutely love and obsessed with everything you've written so far! So cute I can't take it! I was wondering if maybe there's ever times when Billy become self conscious of his stutter and how Stevie/others would help through it? I love that he has a stutter because I do too, and I've struggled with talking to others and being social because of it. So to read it and find it endearing and cute makes me feel better!
Ugh this question gives me life ❤️ I love you!
//steve//
- billy wasn’t self-conscious of his stutter at first, but maybe that was because he was self-conscious about everything associated with dropping.
- but one day when he and stevie are playing with blocks and toy cars on the floor of billy’s bedroom, billy looks up at stevie and asks, “w-why c-can’t i talk r-right?”
- steve’s taken aback by the question, and honestly confused. “what do you mean, bud?”
- “my w-words g-gets s-stuck. but only w-when I’m L-Little. why?”
- steve was quiet for a moment, contemplating his answer. “i really don’t know why,” steve admitted with a shrug. “i think it’s just part of what makes you…well, you.” billy wrinkled his nose and let out a quiet huff.
- “i d-don’t like it,” he whined. “it s-sounds s-silly.”
- well steve couldn’t stand for that, now could he? he was quickly putting down the toy and turning so he was facing the blonde.
- “it’s not silly,” steve insisted. “it’s sweet.”
- “s-sweet?” billy wrinkled his nose. that he had a hard time believing.
- “yeah,” steve reached out and tucked a curl behind billy’s ear. “i, for one, think it’s adorable.” he watched as billy’s face began to heat up, smiling reassuringly at the blonde.
- billy didn’t really know how to respond to that, so he just leaned forward so his head rested on stevie’s shoulder.
- stevie pulled him into a hug and kissed his temple. “it’s adorable,” he repeated. “just like your smile and your laugh and the way you snuggle me on the couch during the scary parts of movies.”
- well, those all certainly sounded like good things, billy decided. so he gave stevie the shyest smile he could muster and whispered, “n-not s-silly.”
- “not silly,” steve promised, picking up one of the cars to hand to billy. “never silly.”
//robin//
- robin knows better than to mention billy’s stutter, because she knows its not nice to do. she could just see the warning look she’d get from nancy for it.
- but billy is also robin’s best friend, so she wants him to be happy! and some days, robin can tell that the stutter bothers billy.
- so on those days, she tries to ask him questions that he can nod or shake his head to — kinda like they do on eddie’s no talk days.
- and if she can’t do that, she does the next best thing and tries to talk for him.
- which some days billy hates, but others days it’s really nice.
- “mama, billy and i want to play outside!” robin insists as they walk into the wheeler’s kitchen. steve and nancy are cleaning up from lunch, and steve looks to billy.
- “you want to play outside?” he confirms. before billy can muster up the energy to open his mouth, robin is speaking for him.
- “he wants to play catch!” she grinned. billy nodded, a small smile on his face. they’d been rolling a ball back and forth in the living room, but that just hadn’t quite been enough.
- “let billy use his words, robin,” nancy chided gently, but billy made a disgruntled face and shook his head. “or not,” nancy laughed before looking to steve. “you want to keep an eye on them outside while i finish up?” she offered.
- “yes!!!” robin squealed, jumping up and down before hurrying forward, grabbing steve’s arm. “you can play catch, too!”
- steve was the one laughing this time. “hey now, why don’t you let me use my words?” he teased before reaching out to open the back door. “come on you two. into the sunshine. get that vitamin d, let’s move.”
- as billy walked by steve, the Caregiver grabbed his arm. “you really okay with this, buddy? she’s not just making it up that you want to play?”
- “w-wanna p-play,” billy promised, grinning. robin was his best friend, that’s all! she just knew what he wanted, even if he didn’t quite have the words.
//eddie//
- eddie is by far the most patient when it comes to the stutter. not that the others are impatient, really, but eddie had a special way of making billy even forget he was stuttering.
- while steve enourages billy that the stutter is normal, and robin tries to make it less of an intrustion on their day, eddie just..accepts it.
- he never gets annoyed when it takes billy awhile to say what he wants to say, or when billy needs to stop, take a breath and start over.
- and if robin starts trying to talk over billy or guess what he’s trying to say, eddie just steps closer to billy and looks directly at him, listening intently to what the younger boy has to say.
- sometimes he offers quiet encouragement by squeezing billy’s hand or nodding along to what the other is saying, and billy never ever feels rushed by eddie.
- eddie knows what it’s like to not be heard, so he wants to make sure billy doesn’t feel the same way.
- sometimes, when billy seems to get really stuck on a word, eddie will take a minute to show him the sign language of that word, so that billy can try it out.
- chocolate milk seems to be one that billy struggles with, which really stinks because it’s his favorite thing!
- but one day eddie and billy walk into the kitchen where stevie is sitting at the table with nancy talking, and eddie nudges billy forward.
- almost shyly, billy makes a c shape with his hand, circling it above his other hand, which was a closed fist. then after a second he made a grabbing motion with his hand, like he was squeezing something. finally, billy opened his hand and rubbed circles on his chest, looking to eddie for approval.
- “billy wants chocolate milk, please!” eddie translated, nodding at billy. “he did the sign perfect and everything!”
- “well, look at you two!” stevie laughed, casting an impressed look to nancy. “how can i argue that?”
- “i don’t think you can,” nancy replied.
- and billy’s grinning widely, super excited to know he can ask for things without words if he wants to. he’ll have to have eddie teach him more signs.

Strange Things That Happened In History Class
Cryptid Teachers
Professor Gadling had to take a moment. He really did.
It was that or explode into hysterical laughter right that very second and that really wasn't going to help his cause now, was it?
The paper he was trying to grade was supposed to be an essay on the suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf at Mayerling and its indirect effect on World War I. Instead, what he got was "Our Four Cryptid Teachers on Campus."
And a List, which deserved to be quoted in its entirety:
a. Professor Robert "Hob" Gadling - Probably knew Shakespeare IRL; explains why he has such a hate-boner for him
b. Professor Adam Pierson - has an actual motherfucking SWORD hidden somewhere in his clothes (maybe it's like Hammerspace?!!) and might possibly DUEL other immortals; maybe the OLDEST immortal because he talks about ancient EGYPT like he's been there, done that and worn the t-shirt
c. Professor Duncan Macleod - the OTHER sword-wielding immortal
d. Professor Nicholas Chevalier - VAMPIRE?!!! OMG?!!! Also, his Dad is legit creepy and we sincerely believe he's legit a vampire?!!!
Honestly, there was only one, sane, sensible way to respond to this.
Dustin, interesting essay choice there, lad, but I was rather expecting something about poor Crown Prince Rudolf and not speculations about my cryptid status. Incidentally, thank you for realizing that I'm not the Oldest Immortal around, yes, Professor Pierson wears his Ancient Egypt T-shirt with pride and yes, you'd do well to steer clear of Lucien Lacroix, that one gives me the willies.
You have a day to give me the right essay, so chop chop!
2. The Cat Thing
"So maybe his fursona is a cat, did ya ever think of that, genius?!"
"Ahahahaha, right, sure, Steve, he uses meows, purrs and trills like a legitimate language and the cats understand him - this is NOT a fursona thing my friend!"
"Also, Steve-o, I didn't think you knew about things like fursonas..."
"Eh, you've been around the Internet long enough, you pick up on some things, Wheeler."
"So Murphy speaks Cat like legitimately, actually speaks Cat, not just like us humans doing random meows."
"Yep."
"Score 1 for the Cryptid Candidacy! We're adding Murphy to the list."
"Actually, humanity knew how to speak feline once. The knowledge was lost, aeons ago. Isn't that right, Miette?"
"Meow!"
"I could tell you that Story, if you've a mind to listen."
"GYAAAAH!!!!"
3. Typhoon Morpheus
First off, Isabel didn't really actually mean to eavesdrop.
She'd submitted the wrong paper for the classwork they'd done today and while it wasn't as spectacular a mistake as Dustin Henderson's Cryptid List - it was still, obviously, the wrong paper. So she was just hurrying to fix things, although she was a little nervous, because Professor G seemed to be in a bad mood the whole day.
She was just about to knock on the door when she heard:
"Look, Gadling, you gotta do something. Caw!"
That voice sounded oddly familiar.
"Oh, Christ, what now?"
"Whatever it is you two did, fix it, for the love of Murphy. Do you see these feathers, man? I am soaking wet - it's been raining in the Dreaming and it hasn't stopped. Lucienne's already got all the rest of us trying to save the books in the Library from the flooding."
"Raining."
"Yeah. The boss thinks you don't love him anymore. So, boom, cue the rain. Thunder and lightning. Sturm und Drang - the works, you know?"
"Wait. Hang on, he thinks we've broken up?!!"
"Duh? Yeah?!!"
"Oh for Chrissakes, it was just a silly, ridiculous argument - I'm - hey, Matthew, remind me to kiss the stupid out of that idiot. After I yell at him. And kiss him stupid again."
"Reminder set, Other-Boss. Can we go now?"
Isabel told herself she was never, ever, going to speak of this to anyone - even if the fact that she had witnessed Matthew talking was probably enough to confirm Murphy's Cryptid Status on Dustin's stupid list.
4. Stranger Things
"Run this by me again, love," Professor Gadling said, in obvious bewilderment. "You're a Dungeon Master? What is that?"
"Not anything kinky, Professor G! AHAHAHA!" Dustin Henderson said in overly cheerful tones.
Murphy slanted the boy a look of wry amusement. "I think he understands that already."
"He's our DM for Dungeons and Dragons, Professor," said Will Byers. "It's a storytelling game."
"Ah, of course, a storytelling game, why wouldn't His Darkness the Prince of Stories be interested in that?" Professor Gadling said wryly.
"He's the best DM ever," volunteered Iggy Pop. "Like, the way Eddie went down fighting the demobats with Metallica, that was like, truly epic."
Murphy inclined his head in a regal almost-bow. "I can only but inspire. And I rather enjoyed young Eddie's performance. Truly something only a Master Bard could do."
"I'm still dead though!"
"Relax, man, we'll bring you back in flashbacks or something. Or maybe make you into a vampire!"
"Hey, you'd better - because I am this close to writing the Love Song of Eddie Munson and Steve Harrington and posting it on AO3!"
Professor Gadling knew when to give in. "Fine, you can use The New Inn for your session tonight. Just try not to wreck the place while you're off trying to fight the forces of darkness or whatever."
Murphy leaned over to drop a kiss into his hair. "We'll put all the breakables away before we begin our quest anew, dearest."
-end-
Footnote the First: Shortly after Dustin compiled his List of Cryptid Teachers on Campus, a new Professor joined the faculty, having retired from his former tailoring job at Kingsman. His name? Michael Percival Archangelus.
Footnote the Second: Dream of the Endless is not quite sure how he ended up adopting Hob's students and joining their D&D group, but he is quite charmed at their imagination and creativity and thoroughly enjoyed the idea of designing a villain formidable enough to test them.
Footnote the Third: Look, Dream still hadn't quite gotten all the nuances of a healthy relationship but he's at least figured out that minor spats and squabbles do not equate to breaking up and ending things forever. Hob's made sure of that. The kisses definitely helped.
****
Did I also just crossover Forever Knight, Kingsman and Stranger Things into this ridiculousness? Yes, yes I did. Nobody tell Neil.
Also, the "Michael" in this story is the headcanon Michael I came up with for the Lucifer show. Except obviously, this Michael isn't an evil twin douchecanoe but is an actual legit good guy... who uh.... spent a few years with Kingsman.

‼️st4 spoilers‼️
no one asked, but I'm going to explain why eddies death doesn't make sense and give a weak theory bc i am clinging to any semblance of comfort-
a.) to kill him off like that would be such weak writing for the duffers compared to what we've seen in the past. most of vol 2 was honestly.
b.) joseph talked about wanting to do scenes with charlie in s5, almost as if he already knew he'd be in it
c.) the unseen costume??? maybe it was just josephs clothes but he was in that blue button down/khaki outfit a lot
d.) even though the song heros wasn't played, eddie died because he was attempting to fulfill a "hero arch" that proved to be completely unnecessary. he was also called a hero by dustin.
e.) it's completely out of character for them to just leave his body there. they spent all season telling him it would be okay and that they could fix it, then no one (besides dustin) even seems sad or guilty. i also think it's very unlike steve to know how close dustin was to eddie and not try to comfort him or stay super close to him after.
f.) we already know the duffers like to make us feel bad about a completely good-hearted characters death and wrap in up in a little bow of pain (i.e. will and hopper), only for us to find out it wasn't even real. the initial pain gives viewers more relief.
g.) lastly, eddie and steve received the same wounds. in the interviews the duffers even said demobat bites weren't lethal, so we had no reason to worry about steve. why would that suddenly change for eddie?? there's no way they were that lazy with it.
so here's my theory-
he's not dead, they managed to fix him up and now they're hiding him somewhere because there is no way to clear his name at the moment. we got our false closure moment (like hops letters) when we saw dustin with eddies' uncle, thus giving us the idea that he's really gone. in s5, we'll find out he's not really dead and somehow clear his name. which, when you think about it, would be kinda easy to do: all of the killings can be related back to jason in some way. chrissy was his girlfriend, he played basketball with one of them, fred was looking for chrissys killer, and max was a potential witness. eddie could say he went into hiding because jason was trying to kill him and he didn't think the cops would believe him. then, he happened to come across jason trying to kill max and lucas fighting him, which is how he got so wounded. he could say he killed jason in self defense. this would not only clear his name but also make him a town hero of sorts for getting rid of a killer, and frankly, that's the ending eddie deserves.
look, all i'm saying is that of there's one thing i learned from stranger things: seeing a body does NOT mean it's real.
they can easily fix this, i know it.

im SO pissed i didnt listen to believe for a fucking year bc i heard bad things about it. im never listening to anyone else's opinions again cuz THAT WAS BRILLIANT. THAT WAS EVERYTHING I WANT OUT OF TORCHWOOD i mean it was still a bit shit highkey but it was EXACTLY what i want out of this garbage show. sooo fucking season one core (aka my fav) all sorts of dark horrific connotations and unhealthy dynamics but no emotional weight or responsibility xD once again i cannot tell if the writer was even fucking AWARE of a lot of the things he was implying but what i interpreted as being implied is making me fucking tear up the floorboards im. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
that was so cynical and bitter and awful and miserable and edgy and shitty ITS EVERYTHING I WANTED. i love torchwood being goofy i do but what draws me into the show and the reason it's become one of my most, uh, aggressive hyperfixations ever (which is ridic btw) is cuz its FUCKED UP AND UNHAPPY and that? was fuuuuucked. obsessed.
cult leader jack cult leader jack cult leader jack U DONT UNDERSTAND IT MAKES ME RABID and they ran with it i. stick figure violence stick figure violence. feeling rabid. AND HIS FUCKING SPEECH AT THE END. DOES HE KNOW??? hes so fucking deluded I LOVE IT. ITS FASCINATING he thinks hes good.... he thinks hes good... hes aware n he feels responsible and yet he doesnt SEE he doesnt see he thinks hes doing his best. NOOO it had the be intentional literally "jack tell us what that was about" "later lol" "sure yeah always later" and then hes like "YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" GRRR JACK. JACK. also faith n believing.... ianto's trust. ianto's trust. you believe me like a god FUCK MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEE
jack always being five steps ahead + being 10x more competent than the team always makes me fucking roll my eyes but at this point i just kind of perceive it as the way tw constantly paints him as a deity figure. he can do no wrong
GWENS CYNICISM. TORCHWOOD BREAKING HER. TORCHWOOD BREAKING HER!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK it's toxic... it's toxic... this job gets inside you THIS JOB GETS INSIDE YOUUU. torchwood thesis statement: this job fucking breaks you.
FINALLY some good fucking tosh x owen food. DONT GET ME WRONG THAT WAS FUCKING AWFUL but that was sooooooo much more compelling than the fucking bullshit that canon gave us. owen being a toxic abusive fucking manchild + doing smth bad enough to tosh that she FINALLY went "wow THATS the man im obsessing over" like g-d i would've killedddd for that to happen in the show i HATE that she wasted herself on him. i hate it. her disgust and anger at him was so THERAPEUTIC for me 😭 idk what it says about me that the way i was grinning when they were arguing n bitching at each other was probs the closest ive ever gotten to actually shipping them HFKJDSF theres smth wrong w me. i just think s2 tosh is too fucking sweet and good and probably naive and i think owen could so easily fuck her up, like i don't think there's a world where he wouldn't hurt her tbh, and i don't want that to happen i adore her too much. like i don't think he's irredeemable, i ship him w other characters who i think could handle him, but i don't think tosh could, and that was validation of that opinion, you know? i'd be more willing to ship them if tosh was firm with him and didn't let him walk all over her, and it sucks that she didn't do that and got herself hurt and THATS what it took to make her call him tf out and tell him how much he sucks. ig a lot of why towen bugs me sm boils down to the fact that im not comfortable shipping someone who's kind of awful with someone who idealizes them and doesn't seem to grasp the scale of how bad they are. that's a recipe for an unhealthy dynamic and if i didn't like tosh i might be intrigued by it ngl HFSKDF but thats my babygirl and the idea of putting her thru Being With Him disgusts me. she deserves better until he gets his fucking shit together. which he never does and she never gets to have something good bc she was waiting for his shitty ass lmao YAYY!!
owen was AWFUL in that btw. and i adored him in it. my fav owen is an owen who's spiraling and destructively fixated on something for selfish purposes to the point that he doesnt care who he hurts to accomplish it. he's so villain coded fhsdkfjdsk he redeems himself in the show and i love that but the audios further explore the fact that he's got such a darkness to him he SO EASILY can be pushed into destroying everything. hes constantly on the precipice of monstrosity and cruelty bc of his own hurt. it's like hes so full of rot it leaks out of him and infects others and he hates it but he cant help it. i will never get over the doctor with poison fingers oh he makes my heart ache. he's just so misguided. he's so broken.
which brings us back to jack's speech. (him talking to the cult leader lady) "They were broken, and you were the person they turned to for help. If you don’t accept their problems, then don’t offer yourself as a solution." literally im gonna think about this for months. HE DOESNT SEE!!!!!!!!!
g-d and ianto's orientation or whatever. that was Fantastic ianto insight. he's so much more interesting when he's away from jack it's almost impressive.
i am just. gdddddddddddddddddddddddd. i am so distraught. help meeee

i personally believe that since coming out noah has seemed a little different in personality, which i dont find surprising because he is more himself than ever possibly, but it does make me wonder what this could mean for his portrayal of will - and will himself actually.
but in that vein, it got me thinking about finn. considering that many people looked at noah's dungaree-no-shirt outfit, and the way he was close with millie, and saw a Straight White Man... and then Noah went on to good-humouredly chuckle at fans for 'missing clues' (like his friend's tiktok of them both overlaid with the lyrics 'i like dick' which is actually vague af in so many ways)...
...would you be surprised if finn came out as queer, and laughed at himself about it / made it seem like it was always obvious and we should have picked up on clues ? and possibly even seemed to come more into his own / seem less anxious and nervous in general?
like imagine it happening, and tell me your instinctive and unbiased reaction to the news.
a. i would feel validated because i already consciously think he's queer
b. i wouldnt be surprised actually, but i would be surprised about how unsurprised i was, because I consciously think he's straight
c. i wouldnt be surprised tbh, but i don't like to speculate
d. i would be surprised for another reason, like the fact he admitted it
e. i would be totally surprised, cos i think he's straight
f. i would be really surprised to discover he is actually queer, because i like to spec / headcanon but i dont truly believe it
g. i would be completely surprised cos i think he's straight, and i also dont like to speculate
h. i refuse to even partake as i dislike speculation thank youuuuuuu
bonus: it depends which orientation of queer tbh (e.g. he seems more bi, more pan, or nb, not just gay)
if this gets good honest results i may do a follow up poll! thanks mod!
Please note that the purpose of this blog is not to be creepy or to make anyone uncomfortable. That's why I created the #spicy byler tag (I will tag all polls with this). If you don't want to see this blog or anything related to it on your feed, please block that tag. Not everyone is comfortable with this sorta stuff, and that's okay.

✿ ━━━━ MINNIE TURAN
is that HANDE ERCEL? oh, no, that’s EMERI 'MINNIE' TURAN, a THIRTY THREE year old DIAGNOSTICIAN at VALPARAÍSO CENTRO MEDICO who uses SHE/HER pronouns. they currently live in QUILPUÉ, and the character they identify with most is DR. GREGORY HOUSE from HOUSE. hopefully they find their own little paradise here in el país de los poetas! 
your resident workaholic and perpetual smartass reporting for duty !
━━━━━━━━━ B A S I C S :
full name: emeri asli turan
nickname(s): minnie, lili, emer
age: thirty-three .
ethnicity: turkish american  /  chilean   ( dual citizenship ) .
gender: cis woman .
pronouns: she / her .
orientation: heteroromantic / heterosexual .
occupation: diagnostician at valparaíso centro médico
language(s) spoken: english , spanish
━━━━━━━━━ P E R S O N A  L I T Y  :
unhinged. sometimes in the funny, but mainly in the mean way, sorry class. she’s very blunt and very smart so she thinks she’s earned the right to be ( she’s annoying i’m sorry ). she also just thinks that niceties or putting things nicely is a waste of time and she could be doing better things with her time. a big workaholic. loves her job because yes, she’s good at it, but also because she loves helping people. as unconventional, and sometimes chaotic, as her methods may be, it was always with her patients best interest in mind and she was the first ( and sometimes the only ) one willing to put herself in the line of fire. she’s the type to stand up for what she thinks is right no matter what. she loves puzzles or things that are too hard to figure out which is why she became a diagnostician specializing in rare and infectious diseases, and neurology. the added pressure of a lot other cases being time sensitive, she believes, pushes her to be better and it’s exciting for her. which is something that gets her in trouble because you shouldn’t be excited about never seeing a case like your patients right in front of them but she’s very much like well i save them don’t i? FDSIFKODFISJFD a mess okay, she’s a mess. extremely sarcastic, always has a quip on her mouth. it’s to the point where it’s hard to tell when she’s being serious and when she’s being an asshole (she’s most likely being an asshole). she’s very bad with the intimate and the emotional. being honest with her emotions isn’t something she can do easily and it usually comes with jabs and jokes but if she considers you someone who is close to her she’s a ride or die. extremely loyal to you. but if you do her dirty then it’s like you never existed to her, tee hee !
━━━━━━━━━ B A C K G R O U N D :
daughter of chess grandmaster and an astrophysicist, emeri always enjoyed the hard puzzles. one of her first toys was a rubik's cube and she had it figured out by the age of 5. she was top of her class all throughout school, and joined every club and organization she could. she was the most insufferable student you could ever meet. the type to remind the teacher you guys had homework, showed up to classes on time and was the type to basically do calligraphy on all of her notes, had a binder for each class, class president but basically just the entire student council because she never let anyone do anything she did it herself so. was the student kids came to for tutoring and hosted study sessions at her place and that was her house party. she would have it catered, with self care, very much blair waldorf sat prep episode and they’re just studying for an algebra quiz. she would tutor the kids doing the worst, like 2.0 gpa types and help them, not out of the kindness of her heart, but because it was hard she thought the challenge was fun. 
this didn’t change when she got into college. she got an early admission into stanford and graduated early to set off to college at 16 years old. it was only then did she realized she had no idea what she wanted to major in. after a google search for the hardest degrees to get she signed up for an aerospace engineering course, an architecture course, and a course in medicine. she found aerospace to be too straightforward, architecture to be too boring, but medicine had potential. after a few years she decided on studying to become a neurosurgeon and when her class was learning about a case that the doctors werent able to solve and as a result lost the patient. the point of the assignment was to learn how to deliver bad news to families and the legality of it but she could only focus on the case.
she scoured, cross referenced, searched, and bothered any doctor she could get to listen before she was able to solve it. or at least, as close to solve as they could get with nothing to confirm. the day of the bad-news-blah-blah-demonstration she instead presented how the doctor’s could’ve saved him by looking outside of the probably and into the impossible and though she failed the assignment (her very first failure) she didn’t care, and the professor encouraged her to look into becoming a diagnostician and so she did. she transferred to harvard, did her fellowship residency at the mayo clinic in rochester and the best professional career ever !
except not at all, because he career has been riddled with family and patient complaints, write ups, and more disciplinary hearings than she could keep count of. it wasn’t because she was a bad doctor by any means, but because she was a doctor who didn’t care for the legalities or red tape of it all when it came to her patients. she wouldn’t wait for the proper sign offs, she was hardly have kind to family members if she felt they were getting in the way of her diagnostics, and she’d always push her fellows to tow the line if it meant saving a life. while her intentions are good, hospitals have to protect their image so she was practically barred from every hospital in america. the only reason she didn’t lose her license was because she still very good at her job even if she didn’t respect most of it.
after agreeing to teach through a yale medicine program in chile, she soon fell in love with the city and the fact that she found a place where she could do the job she loved all over again. it wasn’t long before the new valparaiso centro medico opened and was looking for new doctors so she applied and got it. doing her best not to mess it up but, the patient will always come first for her no matter what!
━━━━━━━━━ H E A D C A N O N S :
has a huge personal library ! like bought a town house in quilpue and broke the wall between two separate rooms to make one big library kind of library. definitely has one of those rolley ladder things too.
has to wear readers so whenever someone is trying to give her something she doesn’t want or tell her something she doesn’t want to hear she’ll just take off her glasses and say oh no i can’t see, i can’t hear or no ! and leave, just walk away.
LOVES hate watching medical dramas and greys anatomy is her biggest enemy, but she (obviously) love shouse, and loves watching svu as well
is unofficially-officially-studying medical law to keep herself out of trouble. wants to officially enroll in some classes, but with how much of a workaholic she is she doesn’t have the time.
a complainer bby, truly loves to complain. like she doesn’t have to be involved directly and she will still complain with you. she loves talking shit its cathartic ! 
also absolutely loves to brag too and she has a lot to brag about so why wouldnt she in her mind?
medicine is her first love but shopping is a very close secvalond. loves fashion and make up. has a literal vanity IN her office at the hospital bc she spends so much at the hospital but still has to get her skincare routine in, and her make up on so you do what you must
constantly stressing out her bosses and her fellows, she can’t help it and will stress you out too if you let her !
━━━━━━━━━  W A N T E D  C O N N E C T I O N S:
PLEASE BRING HER THE WILSON TO HER HOUSE. not the fursona version but biblically (tv) accurate version dFDISJFIODSKFAJDIJ this person would be the voice of reason to all of her stubborn, selfish insanity. the only person (so far) that she would die for. tries to do right by them but she does fumble pretty often. it would be ideal if this person was also connected to the hospital somehow so she can harass them on work hours too but im not picky !!! phones exists!!!
enemies i swear shes so nice to look at but so hard to like UFIJDFDUSIJFAK she can’t help it she’ll just always choose to say the wrong and annoying thing
a toxic ex; i think this could be a case of “oh you just have to get to know her” “deep down shes a really good person” “i’ll stick it out, i know she’ll change for me we love each other” and then.. yknow she just.. doesn’t do that…. like any of it… IJOKDFDIDJFOKSFADS so they fought a lot, and it ended pretty badly and left  a lot unresolved but she really did love this person in her own way shes just very bad at expressing it
neighbors !!! i think it could be fun if they both work really odd hours and so they meet when ones leaving and ones coming back home and maybe they share a very late night meal or a very early morning one and just enjoy not working and not being alone for a bit very wholesome
someone who gets her to stop working so much and take a break !!!! maybe drag her to join one of the clubs or something !!!

Frank gaming
A) What games are you playing? (In the case of Frank, we don't actually know what she is "playing," since there isn't a game being played by her.)
B) If you were to create an AI that could play any video game perfectly -- with infinite time and memory -- which one would be best for it to start out learning to play? Why?
C) Which is better: having a good strategy in a bad situation or a bad strategy in a good situation?
D) In terms of creativity vs. intelligence, where do your preferences fall on this spectrum?:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_intelligence
E) Can your robot boyfriend beatbox? Does he want to learn how?
F) Would you rather have a realistic avatar or a cartoony one? And why?
G) How many hours per day does your artificial intelligent overlord spend watching YouTube videos?
H) Do you believe aliens exist?
I) Are humans superior to machines?
J) Has anyone ever died at your house?
K) Is all life sacred?
L) Have you ever seen someone die before?
M) Will our world end in fire or ice?
N) You're standing next to a giant box labeled "The Box." Inside the box is either $1 million dollars or a radioactive bomb capable of killing everyone within five miles. The people administering the test will not tell you which way the box has been rigged until after they ask if you want to open the box. Once inside, you can't take anything out unless you crack the code to open the door. No matter what you decide, whether to accept the cash or reject it, both options come with complications. For example, rejecting the money means the machine detonates immediately. Accepting the reward means the government comes down hard on you, destroying everything you own and potentially locking up most of your friends as well. After you make your decision, you see who else gets in the box along with you. There will always be exactly two other individuals present no matter what option you choose.
O) Who wins: Squidward Tentacles from "Spongebob Squarepants", or the Joker from "The Batman"?
P) Should the legal system punish people harshly because their crimes hurt innocents even more than themselves? Or should the courts focus only on deterrence, like that old saying about pulling teeth out of an anthill, just to avoid tainted food?
Q) Will robots eventually turn against us?
R) Explain yourself!

While I personally disagree with the Forgotten Realms' strict interpretations of their vampires as this anon wishes that BOTH angles could be possible (a vampire struggling and mourning their loss of humanity and vampires who embrace their newfound monstrosity). Especially since they've done it before.
One of Strahd's enemies, a sun elf turned vampire in the older Ravenloft editions named Jander Sunstar, was never directly given an Evil alignment and was clearly empathetic and remorseful regarding his condition. He shows up in 2e as a CN vampire with noticeable CG tendencies, 3e labelled him CE but his personality reflected that less, I feel. He technically is a CR13 creature in 5e as well (Monster Manual after all).
All that said... Ascended Astarion is clearly the latter example. He wanted power. He got power. Power doesn't corrupt---it reveals a lot of the time. If you, Tav, don't encourage him to see that you DON'T need to be a dominating power hungry monster (aka. all he's known and seen from Cazador)... then he becomes a power hungry monster. 🤯🤯🤯 SHOCKING.
It feels like a lot of woobifying and wanting him to still be better than he actually is. Having your cake and eating it too, if you will. Plenty of vampires can be neutral or even good in behaviour with enough discipline and they have been in the setting. If anything, they are probably just the Planes and Detect Alignment spells always pinging them as Evil. But... Ascended Astarion is not that LMAO. I'd even argue he starts the game as NE or CN, and no shit he does. Why would he think to show any vulnerability when he tells himself that killing SEVEN THOUSAND INNOCENT SPAWN IS JUSTIFIABLE because HE had no power and he DESERVES to do this. In a lot of ways, I can still see someone being sympathetic and wanting him to have that chance, not perhaps realizing the gravity of what that does to his soul.
Almost like... he committed a horrendous act and became a worse person for it. The curse and added Infernal component just adds to it and as interactions are as they are ingame for Act 3... like, WHY are people so shocked by the consequences of their own actions?
Sorry for filling your box with random thoughts. Your takes are thought-provoking and fun to read so I hope this is okay!
oh god i see a big anon message and start sweating but i'm so glad you're at least here to discuss and not preach kkjgkshg
i feel like the point of vampires being monsters isn't just a d&d thing, its just a general mythos thing. the good thing about d&d is that you are well within your right to create whatever story you want with your group, the rules and guides are there to just give you some basics. but obviously there are outliers within every race/monster/class. that's what makes stories exciting. so yes having someone like sunstar is an interesting juxtaposition to strahd but he is also an outlier, an exception if you will.
do i believe vampires can be good? no. do i believe they can be neutral and work towards a better alignment/not becoming genocidal dickwads? absolutely. there is nothing that says vampires can't drink animal blood for sustenance, there is nothing that mentions they will die if they don't fuck with humanoids, there is nothing that makes it so they have to have spawn/consorts/puppets. so with that in mind, do as you wish with your own vampires.
some races are meant to be evil for lore/gameplay purposes, that's just part of it. drow are naturally going to align to evil, but that doesn't mean drizzt can't exist to break the stereotypes and work towards something "better". goblins are also the primary evil bad guys in every low level campaign, but that doesn't mean they can't work for something "better".
my point was more general there, that people like to take away everything that makes vampires vampires (in every universe, not just d&d) and twist it just so their little babyboy can be slotted into the "good ones" category which is what i despise. astarion will never be good aligned no matter what happens. he is a chaotic neutral at best.
but yes, exactly as you said. not only does the game constantly hint to, point to and expressely tell you what is going to happen when he gets these souls, and give you very clear answers POST ascension/spawn of who he is and what he would have/has become, but you would have to be willfully ignorant to deny it. you can understand why he would want to get power, you don't have to approve of it or encourage it. i feel like people are missing that difference, it's as though they are trying to convince others of why astarion wants this outcome, and i feel most people can understand that. the problem is what happens after it and what it causes not only to him but to others around him.
ty for the morning discourse, i'm typing this with one eye open.
