SUGAR DADDY! LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR X READER
Summary: Lucifer and you reach a somewhat transactional relationship. However, you find yourself develop feelings for him.
A/N: i just wanted to write something short:)
Sighing, you put one of your rings back into your jewelry box. You have been sitting in front of your makeup mirror for 2 hours, suffering from having too many jewelry options. Well…maybe that's not exactly suffering.
It is a cycle repeating almost every week. The King of Hell takes you out for some fancy dinner date and almost always ends up with you and him making a mess in bed. You don't know how long this relationship will last and you are sure he will soon find another "entertainer" (probably skinnier). That thought makes you recoil when looking at your reflection in the mirror. You have never been comfortable in your own skin. Heck, why would a King of all places dote on someone who looks like they can eat 10 pounds of grilled cheese?
*Circus ringtone*
Shit! You think to yourself. Nervously gripping at your designer hand bag, you inhale and exhale to calm down before finally pressing the accept button. Despite being quite close to the King (maybe too close), he never fails to make you stumble over his every little actions. He commented politely on this once; however, that hasn't improved one bit.
Hey, just wanna check up on you, darling. Are you ready to head out?
His sugar-coated voice makes you shiver a bit. You take a silent glance at your jewelry box before answering:
Yeah, you can pick me up now.
You finally admit defeat and settle down on the (f/c) set of earrings despite his preference being crimson. Sometimes, you just want to add a bit of yourself to the clothes you are wearing as a reminder to not lose yourself when indulging in his gifts. It's scary watching you slowly turn into nothing but a dress-up darling for the King. You feel less alive and more like a doll every time you go out with him. Your messy lines of thoughts are abruptly cut as a portal pops up. Standing straight and dusting the invisible dust off your fancy dress, you watched as Lucifer strides out gracefully. He pridely plants a soft kiss on your knuckles before taking in the most beautiful scenery before him-you. His eyes lingers a bit on your set of earrings before chuckling:
Darling, you look like the finest angel in hell.
Oh, Lucifer… You look away embarrassingly.
Fixing his coat, he opens another portal leading to a fancy-looking restaurant. The meal is going to cost more than all your organs combined. You think quietly to yourself.
…
You know what happens after the date. You and him. On the bed. Your clothes lying on where you don't fucking care because he will just buy you new one anyway. But you’ll be a liar if you don't find yourself enjoying the moment right now. It's your favorite activity. After intense moments, you always find yourself lying on his warm chest. It's addicting and capable of burning you alive. Maybe you do have a thing for him. Does Lucifer have a thing for you? Heaven knows. He tries to present his best version of himself for you. You don't know when the masterful actor will break his role and go off to find another toy. You just hope this lasts longer than you think. But that's enough thinking for today, you decide to focus on his gentle combing of your hair and the rise and fall of his chest instead, slowly drifting away to sleep.
Sleep fails you. It's one of those nights again where your thoughts are too loud.
Feeling a pressure on his chest, Lucifer let out a light grunt before opening his eyes. Your (e/c) ones stare back at him. You have always been… intriguing. That's why he keeps you so close, desperate for this relationship to work. He finds you addicting.
Do you love me?
Taken back by your question given the time and place, he scrambles his brain searching for a reasonable answer. The dinner went out as usual. He also makes sure to be as gentle as possible during the…uh…nevermind. Everything had been normal until now. Until you ask. Smiling sweetly at you, he tries to deliver his sentence as thoughtful as possible:
Of course, honey. You meant the world to me. What makes you question that?
Yeah, what makes you question that? You don't know. What do you even want from him? You don't know. Pushing further could lead to him getting annoyed and dumping you in the process. That reminds you of your old life. It's best to play it safe, maybe you are just confused. Afterall, you didn't have any time to process the relationship when all of this started. Nuzzling your head into his chest, you answered with your usual sweet bimbo voice that you hate so much:
Nothing! Just making sure.
You hear him let out a sign of relief and feel his shoulder relaxed. That night, you slept with a confused mess on your mind, just like any other night with him.

Why do you ship Sans x Frisk? As a person who ships them myself, what do you see in them, like about them? Personality traits, situations, tropes etc, anything that comes to mind, what makes you enjoy them and continue to breathe life to them?
Okay so uh this is pretty to answer in a way that precisely expresses what's in my head in words ngl so the short to the point answer would be that...I play the game. I get to Snowdin. I get to the point where we meet Sans. I put the Frisk sprite next to Sans sprite. I go:
Yeah I don't know. Maybe they're 2 of my favourite characters. I just really liked seeing these 2 characters together. First it was the character design appearance that pulled me in. They just look good together in my eyes. Then I studied more of these characters individually and I was like, what if they're together? 👀 hohoho the potential :]
For me, Frans is like- something something "We have burdens and secrets that no one but the two of us knows and it's killing me on the inside. So let us share these burdens between us and find comfort in each other. It's okay as long as we're together. I'll be here for you. Please comfort me" something something
And damn, there's so many different flavours of Frans around the internet. I can never get tired of this ship TvT. Heck, I even got to cook up a different kind to add to the buffet too XD. I've talked about their dynamic more in my "Why I made my Frans queerplatonic" post.
Yeah, Sans "there's more to him than he lets it show" the Skeleton and Frisk "mysterious protagonist with powers unique from the other characters" the Human. I just genuinely love them. They've been spinning in the corner of my brain for years. I've been thinking about how these two's realtionahip would develop into what I've been drawing but that's another topic and I don't know how to tell it without sounding incoherent haha
Oh yeah also, monster x human. We love that trope here
#asks#thanks for the ask!#frans#sans x frisk#frisk x sans#sona#that's actually an old ass doodle#this post felt all over the place haha my bad#also i see you ask this question to many frans artists here anon#you're so real for that#thank you#it's fun going around and reading other artists' thoughts#my art

The Bad Batch Series Finale
FULL DISCLOSURE: This is a vent post. I’m angry and hurt. After I get this out of my system I’ll be more open to discussing the positives of the episode.
Warnings: Ranting, Spoilers
Hooo boy. Okay. I am… less than satisfied?
Quick rundown since I haven’t posted much of anything Bad Batch related: Tech is my favorite Batch member, immediately followed by Crosshair. I’m also a HUGE Republic Commando Nerd (read all the books, played the game, despised Bad Batch as a whole initially because I felt the commandos were being unfairly ignored, can sing + translate Vode An, etc.) and Scorch was my favorite Delta. The Bad Batch grew on me shortly after Season 1 finished up, and I immediately latched onto Tech when I began watching. He’s the reason I watched the first two seasons. (Crosshair + delusions about Tech were the combined force behind watching the final season)
NOW, onto my actual thoughts on the episode, in no semblance of order because my brain is still trying to process, Ft. Cry count:
• Wish Tech was here. He would’ve loved the Zillo being freed.
• “‘Cause I’d do the same thing” no you wouldn’t. Fives would’ve. The you I fell in love with would’ve yelled at Fives about it being a terrible idea and then promptly gone along with it anyway. That said it was a really cute moment and I loved his nonchalant little “come on” afterwards.
• C: “Echo or Omega?” W&H: “Omega” THEY KNOW THEIR GIRL SO WELL
• When Hemlock went to get the operatives I got excited thinking maybe, just maybe we’d get Tech back.
• CROSSHAIR LOST HIS FREAKING HAND!?!? WHAT THE HECK!?! I will never stop being salty about this. He’s been through enough. [Near Tears]
• Rampart sucks
• Nala Se got to blow stuff up and I appreciate that even if I don’t really like her
• I’m glad Wrecker’s okay. He had me scared for a bit. Hunter, conversely, never really did? He’s Omega’s Dad, he had to survive.
• Did anybody else see that one operative whose helmet seemingly had goggles built into it? We had a lingering shot on his helmet for a few seconds and they looked like a red version of Tech’s goggles.
• SCORCH IS DEAD AND YOU’D BETTER BELIEVE I’M MAD ABOUT IT! [First shedding of tears]
• HECK YEAH, HEMLOCK IS DEAD!!! [Tears of relief combined with grief over Scorch]
• I’m so glad Omega hugged Crosshair first. I fully expected her to just run to Hunter, and Crosshair needed that hug.
• Echo’s goodbye was disrespectful. 0/10. He’s family and they don’t even care that he’s leaving???
• SOMEONE IS MISSING FROM OUR NICE LITTLE GROUP SHOT!
• I never really got super invested in the dynamic between Omega and Hunter, but the ending between them was cute I guess.
• We were robbed. We could’ve gotten Crosshair and Wrecker as old men and we were robbed.
• Tech is dead. Like, seriously, really and truly, dead. As a delusional “Tech’s alive guys, trust me” fan, it feels like he just died all over again. I’ll talk more about this later because I’m not over it. [Que sob-fest]
alright, circling back around to my main gripes, in order of appearance:
#1. Scorch.
I hate how they handled him. At first when he showed up I got super excited. That was my boy! In the Bad Batch show!! He’s making an appearance!!! Maybe they’ll do something with the Delta boys!!
Even as the episodes went on and I started to suspect where his path was leading, I consistently would go “Scorch!!! <3” every episode, because that is my boy and I love him dearly.
The levels of offended I am on Scorch’s behalf are not within my ability to express with words. The complete and utter disrespect he was shown over his time on the show is appalling. Why bring him in if you’re going to drain him of all his personality, make him have zero plot relevance, and then murder him?! They could easily have made a new clone for that, as seen by the number of operatives who exist and got 0.5 minutes of screen time.
But no. They brought in a beloved character with 10 seconds of canonical screen time prior, stripped him of everything that made him lovable, didn’t even have him DO ANYTHING, and then murdered him. It feels like a spit in the face and a kick to the gut all at once.
I will mourn. I’ve already cried and I’ll probably cry again. But right now I’m angry and I think Scorch deserves to have people be angry about how he was treated.
#2. Tech
Yes. I admit to having been a “trust me guys, Tech’s alive” person. I will also admit that at the end of episode 13 I wanted him to stay dead because I had zero faith they could satisfactorily bring him back.
My gripe is not with him staying dead. Yes, it feels like losing him all over again. Yes, I will mourn him again. Yes. That sucks. It’s not what’s making me mad.
What makes me mad is how his death was handled.
• It served ZERO purpose narratively other than to up the stakes and make us worry about whether anyone else would die (Spoiler alert: They didn’t. Tech was the only one who died)
• Nobody mourned him. No one seemed affected by his death at all. No one cared. I don’t care what anyone says, that will NEVER be okay.
• The first actual mention of Tech *dying* was in the finale. Sure, we’ve had name drops and goggle appearances, but actually talking about what happened? One line. One. Freaking. Line.
I feel like I’ve been slapped in the face, you know? He deserved better and so did we. He was a part of that family and they couldn’t even be bothered to address the responses to his death. He was beloved by many of us and they couldn’t even respect him or his fans enough to treat his death like something to be mourned.
That’s wrong, no matter how you look at it.

Anywayyysss why I don’t think Tweek should be considered the “Butters” of Craig’s group, an essay-
So I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this one, and that’s fine, just let me explain my reasoning.
A lot of the time I see Tweek included as a part of Craig’s group in fanart or fanfics, there’s always at least ONE person who points out that he’s not REALLY a member of the group, but instead the “honorary” friend or the “Butters” of the group.
Now YES, Tweek does appear a LOT less frequently than the other members of the group, much like Butters does with the main 4, so it’s easy to see him as the “honorary” friend.
BUT to me it’s not necessarily about how FREQUENTLY he appears, but instead the RELATIONSHIP he has with the other members of the group.
The reason I think of Butters as being the “bonus” member of the main 4 is because they don’t seem to TRULY think of him as their friend. Sure, they have their moments with him, but at the most they just seem to tolerate him. They kick him out of the group for being “too lame” when he replaced Kenny all those seasons ago) and are often shown to have no issue exploiting him for their own benefit. The one who acts the most decent to him is Kenny, but even HE isn’t above doing this. I’m not saying they’re ALL bad to poor Butters, they certainly do seem to consider him a friend of sorts, and heck, it’s not like they’re not constantly assholes to each other either, but it does seem to be quite obvious that they’ll never TRULY consider Butters as a part of their group. He hangs out with them a lot, YES, and this is why a lot of us associate him with being the “unofficial” member, but it’s made clear that he’s not actually one of them.
TWEEK on the otherhand, seems to have a pretty decent relationship with “those guys”? We don’t see a LOT of it, sure, but from what we DO see, he seems to get along with them quite well? We’ve even seen him talking to/hanging out with some of the members one on one (he can be seen hanging out with both Clyde and Tolkien in the background of some episodes, I’m not entirely sure if we’ve seen him with Jimmy at any point) and he seems to have always been friends with Craig? I don’t know why so many people act like they just straight up weren’t friends before they started dating, and that Tweek hanging out with the rest of the group is only because “he’s his boyfriend now”. Like, we see the two of them sitting together and even chatting in the background at assemblies, Stick of Truth implies that Tweek and some of the other guys regularly break Craig out of detention (or at least have done so more then once), HECK, he even appeared when the group first debuted in “South park is gay!”
To me, Tweek isn’t the “bonus” or “unofficial” friend, he’s just…the friend. To say he’s bonus or unofficial I feel like implies he’s not considered truly a member of the group, but I don’t see WHY this would be the case if he seems to be in good standing with them. Maybe he’s not the CLOSEST or most tightly knit member of the group, but I still like to at least think they still consider him ONE of them, and that, at least to me, makes him an “official” member in my eyes
#idk I’m rambling lol#but yeah that’s just my opinion on it#Ik a lot of people only see him as the bonus member because he appears less frequently and not because of his relationship with the group#and that’s valid#this is just why I PERSONALLY don’t!#south park#tweek tweak

Alright Muppet Baby headcanons about Afghan and Baskerville, let's go!
~Both of them are really clingy to Rowlf
~They're mostly just side/background characters, but are focused on every once in a while
~I like to think that when Rowlf's singing a song (or any other song segments) they'll just suddenly pop up outta nowhere and provide as back up singers
~Baskerville would probably hang out with Rizzo a lot (when he's not with Rowlf)
~Same with Afghan and Skeeter. She'd like Summer too
~I don't know how clear I've made it now how close they are to Rowlf, but like 99.9% of the time they're on screen they are right by his side
~Rowlf is constantly annoyed at them of course. They bother him and invade his space 24/7, so why wouldn't he be
~Afghan will ask Miss Nanny all the time if they can have pizza/pizza bites for lunch or snack time
~Baskerville will be a little smug rat sometimes and do stuff to purposefully annoy Rowlf (for ex. he'll lean against him when knowing that the guy likes his personal space and just do other little stuff like that)
~Baskerville isn't much bigger than Rizzo
~Baskerville is also babied a lot by the others because of how innocent he looks, but in actuality he's very mischievous. He usually gets away with a lot of stuff he does because of his look
~Afghan is a tomboy like Skeeter
~She's also one of the more taller babies. She's around Fozzie's size
~Baskerville and Fozzie have a light rivalry with each other because both try to be the funnyman of the group (This is reference to that one Muppet Show episode where they were holding auditions and Baskerville auditioned as a comedian, and Fozzie kept throwing him off stage)
~Miss Piggy loves to dress Afghan up, always saying how perfect her fluffy fur would look with this and that
~Like Gonzo, Baskerville has wore a dress before at some point
~He's also been chased by Camilla more than once because he's just one of those kids that likes to annoy everyone for the heck of it, including her
~Afghan on the other hand is quite a charmer
Whew, that was a lot! I don't think I have anymore so I'll just stop here :o)
#I'm not even that into Muppet babies#I think it's cute and all#But I just wanted SOME kind of version of them and this was the first thing I thought of and just kinda went with it#Don't get me wrong though again I think it's really cute#And do like it a good bit otherwise I wouldn't have done this at all#Heck maybe I do like it more than I think#I saw someone make their own Muppet Baby versions of the Electric Mayhem and absolutely adored#Seeing that inspired me to make these guys#Okay I'll stop rambling now#Afghan Hound#Baskerville the Hound#Rowlf the Dog#The Muppets#:o)

I feel like if Dipper were ever reincarnated as a demon, he wouldn't fit in super well with the others. Yes, he's been raised to vie for power and step on everyone in his way using whatever means is necessary - it's the same toxic bizz as when he was a human, appealing to gender norms. He's tougher, scarier, more powerful (than ordinary humans, that is), but when it comes to asserting control - being Evil - he doesn't have it in him. Given enough time, I think he'd grow pretty vocal about leaving living things alone. NOT torturing organisms for the hell of it, or stealing people's souls, or conquering planets. Sure, he's a demon. That's no excuse to be a MONSTER.
It's a VERY unpopular opinion amongst neighboring demons, and rumor spreads fast about the Goody Two-Shoed Activist imp raining on everyone's blood-splattered parade, so much so that it makes it to Bill, who's immediately intrigued. Call it intuition, but only one soul's capable of overriding goddamn demon nature for some preachy bullshit about "Doing Good." Lucky for him, demons occupy the same plane of existence, so all it really takes to verify the guy is a snap of his fingers, and POOF! He's floating right next to him. Sure enough, Dipper's fashioned himself a new and improved demonic form, and it is lovely!
No one likes Dipper's kumbaya "Can't We All Just Get Along" ideology, but Bill's almost instantly smitten with the guy, whoever he is, so he's gotta be at least somewhat powerful. Demons take notice when the all-powerful Bill Cipher starts lending his time (and magic?) to some low-leveler like Dipper. Is he being blackmailed? Are they working together? No. Not possible. Bill doesn't "work" with anyone, save for whatever human catches his eye every few decades. Doesn't look to be doing him any benefit, either. The opposite, even. Lending power to a saint like Dipper only makes it harder to cause chaos, after all. Why would he actively go against his OWN best interest to cater some imp's? It's almost like he's. He's.
A henchmen.
(Bill's also 30% more affectionate the first month they reunite, because he still can't believe that his adorable little human husband came back as the same SPECIES as him! He'd never complain over having a sweet human to squeeze, but one with teeth and claws and cute pointy ears doesn't hurt).
#answers#I can't help but picture demon dipper starting out all like#I'm Bad 😡 I'm Mean 😡 I'm Evil As Heck!! 😡#And still having a HUGE hatred for things that are Unfair or Unjust. One time he saved a kitten from a tree and got embarrassed about it#Eventually he just has to give into his nature and speak up about all the BULLSHIT he sees going on around him#Sorry Dippin' Dots even the society that 'raised' you can't prevent you from your do-gooder ways#Don't worry Bill loves you for the stupid idiot you are#Everyone is completely BAFFLED by Bill acting like a friggin' henchman though#I bet they don't even peg it as romantic interest at first. Dipper sure doesn't#He's thinking this is some Grand Scheme to convince him back into the evil fold#And to be fair Bill's very tempting in that respect. But not leaning as hard into it as he *could* be#Maybe he thinks Bill's trying to 'mentor' him for something. Seems like the kind of thing Bill would imply and let Dipper fill in the gaps#They're technically not the same SPECIES since Dipper's probably some human-shaped 'demon'#And Bill's originally from a two-dimensional weird universe. Technically speaking he's His Own Thing#Aside from whatever refugees escaped that plane. If any.#Demon covers a LOT of different beings that don't have much or any genetics in common#But you KNOW Bill's thrilled as hell that Dipper's Slightly More Immortal than usual!! This one's gonna last a WHILE#*slams fist on table* Give Dipper A Tail With A Tuft That Bill Can Pull To Be Annoying#Final thought: In this incarnation Bill might have been wondering where the hell Dipper got to since there's no human around#Given a long enough time he might even wonder if he was LOST#So you know that when Dipper reemerges on the scene everyone else was dealing with a VERY unhappy Bill Cipher for QUITE a while

I think the moment Light's crush on L first smacked him in the manga (like when it finally rooted and started blooming in his guts) was when L was like "you're my first ever friend" whilst smirking into his teacup. And not because Light fully believed he was being sincere about being friends, but because he KNEW L was slyly teasing him and speaking to him on more than one level at once. Nothing more unexpected funny flattering and intriguing than that for him right then
#im thinking about this specifically because of that post about the girl getting a huge crush on her enemy that saved all her threats#bc that's basically that moment for light i think#light tries to squash all positive emotions towards others at all times when he's kira if they interfere with his plans after all#but if L does something like this to him then it forces him to think about his feelings in a strategic preparation sort of way#nay dare i say it basically is giving light permission to do so#he can now hold off on completely stamping out those feelings as soon as they arise#almost (he thinks) as a way to study his enemy and see how full of shit he may or may not actually be about such things#this moment probably starts a shift in light where he can allow himself to acknowledge that he maybe has a bit more than just#enemy feels for L you know#bc maybe L also is having other kinds of feels about him??#whether or not it's true it would impress him as a bold move#and kickstart him having to analyze what he actually does sincerely feel for L#and maybe start reframing and recontextualizing a lot of their tense ambiguous interactions up til that point secretly as well#heck we basically see him doing that when hes like lounging at his desk going HAH if it's friendship he wants then by god it's friendship#he will get#and this game of chicken with L about saying theyre friends keeps him from being able to completely avoid confronting#any complicated feels#like he otherwise probably would#because he legit cant back down from preparing for another battle of the wits with L#both because of his competitive pride and his genuine need to protect himself#would he call it a crush to himself yet#no probably not#i feel like that came later much later#he def would have acknowledged it as such by the end of the story tho#essentially L found a way to create a little wedge to ram in the door to Light's feels#and that is a smart enough move to probably have made Light start developing a crush on him even if he didn't have one already#l lawliet#light yagami#lawlight#p

the heist!mark brainrot is consuming me…, just imagine mark n the viewer meeting for the first time as little kids to shoplift candy or smth together ╥﹏╥
the (brain)rot consumes!! I can relate
my dear anon... LISTEN. I am a big advocate for childhood friends captaineer, it's one of my favourite headcanons, but a childhood friends AU for the heist partners? that's something I hadn't considered until now. and it's adorable. I had to write something for it asap because I was INSPIRED. I hope you enjoy💖 thanks for sparking the idea!
Heist!Mark x reader (not explicitly romantic at all it's more about the friendship in this one) | Words: 1,317
You are in the kitchen of your shared home base, unloading the groceries your heist partner has just bought, when you pick up a bag of sour candies, smiling quietly to yourself. He's always been a fan of them.
Turning the packet in your hands, an old memory drifts to the surface of your mind:
You don't remember exactly how long ago it was, but you couldn't have been much older than maybe ten.
Your father was busy working, and had reluctantly sent you to the store with a small list after you insisted you could handle it on your own.
You slipped the folded piece of paper out of your school bag and scanned the list of items. At the bottom was a note that read, ‘Remember to stay hydrated, kiddo! :)’
You walked around the supermarket collecting the few things on your list and placed them in your trolley. On your way to the checkout, you passed through the candy aisle and slowed to eye the products on display.
‘Aren't you going to get anything?’
Your head perked up, shocked at the sudden voice addressing you.
There was a boy next to you with dark hair, looking at you inquisitively. He seemed to be about your age. He might have even been slightly shorter than you.
You must have been standing here for longer than you realised if it had prompted him to ask you about it.
You shook your head.
‘Why not?’
‘Oh, um. My dad only gave me enough money for what we need,’ you said timidly, showing him the list.
‘Ohh, that's too bad.’ Then, a small yet undeniably mischievous smile appeared on his face. He glanced discreetly up and down the aisle. ‘You know you can just — ’ and he took one of the small packets of candy off the shelf and slipped it swiftly into his pocket.
Your eyes went wide, stunned. Both from the fact that he was suggesting you steal, and at the speed and subtly with which he'd enacted the crime, as if he'd done it dozens of times before, if not more.
‘What are you doing?’ you spoke in a harsh whisper.
‘It's no big deal,’ he said in a lower voice than before, but one that still felt entirely too loud. He slipped another bag into his pocket.
You did not want to associate with this boy any longer.
You pushed your trolley away and towards the checkout, handing your items to the cashier.
You were unhappy to find the boy waiting for you when you exited the store, shopping bag in your hand.
‘What do you want?’ you asked, a little standoffishly, frowning at him.
‘There's no need to be rude,’ he said with a small pout. ‘Y'know, I think I might have seen you at school a few times.’
To your dismay, he followed along as you started walking home. When you pressed him, he simply said, ‘Hey, I'm not following you! I live down this way too, I promise!’
As the two of you walked, he chatted annoyingly by your side. What was more annoying was that you found you didn't mind his presence. You were a quiet kid and you didn't have many friends. Having someone to walk home with you was kind of a nice change of pace.
Just as you thought this, though, you immediately chided yourself mentally. You and him were not friends. You weren't going to be friends. This boy was a criminal and he wasn't even sorry about it.
You frowned in thought.
Oh no, what if he got caught? What if you went to juvenile jail for being an accomplice to theft? What would Dad say? What would Mom say? What if—’
‘Hey, are you listening to me? You haven't responded to anything I'm saying.’
You simply sighed as he pulled you out of your thoughts.
‘Are you still mad about the candy? I told you it's not a big deal.’
You stopped as you realised you were approaching your front door. The journey seemed to have gone a little faster than usual.
‘Really?’ you finally replied in an exasperated tone. ‘That was no big deal for you? That was stealing. Stealing is wrong.’ You couldn't believe you had to spell it out to him.
‘They won't notice a couple tiny bags of candy are gone. My mom says big companies that own supermarkets are greedy. They make loads of money anyway and don't pay enough taxes.’
‘Does your mom know you're a thief?’
‘W- well, no, but-’
‘That’s what I thought.’
He looked a little disheartened.
‘Please don't tell anyone. I'm sorry if I upset you,’ he said quietly, looking down.
You hadn't really expected an apology from someone like him. You sighed again.
‘I won't tell, but don't expect me to just go along with it. And don't act like we're best buds all of a sudden. We don't know each other. You don't even know my name!’
‘Well, what's your name?’
You gave him a slightly surprised look before telling him your name, albeit hesitantly.
‘Look, I have to get going now…’
You fumbled with the shopping bag as you reached into your coat pocket, feeling for the house key, when you suddenly felt something that wasn't there before. It made a crinkling sound beneath your touch.
‘You didn't.’ You pulled the candy out of your pocket. ‘When did you—?’
The boy grinned at you.
‘I thought you could have one of mine.’
‘I don't want your stolen candy!’
‘Judging by how you looked at it earlier, I think you do. And besides, stolen treats taste better!’ he called out, already walking away.
‘Wh- SHH!’ You hoped none of your neighbours had heard.
‘I'm Mark by the way! See ya, buddy!’
You stood outside the front door, dumbfounded.
Finally you let yourself in. Your dad wouldn't be home yet for a while.
You put the shopping away and sat down at your kitchen table, staring at the stolen goods in front of you.
You could try to put it back but… that would be more suspicious.
You figured, the deed had been done. There was nothing you could do now, so you may as well make the most of it.
You tore the edge of the packet and popped one of the candies in your mouth, savouring the sweet and sour combination on your tongue.
Maybe Mark was right. It did taste extra good. But maybe it was just because you'd been craving it.
What a weird kid.
‘Stealing is wrong, huh…?’ you mumble under your breath. You look down at the candy in your hands. It's not the same brand as the one from back then, but you imagine it tastes more or less the same, from what you remember.
Present day Mark is the one to pull you out of your musings.
‘Hey, what's with that face you're making? I know that look, buddy. Are you contemplating your life choices??’
You chuckle softly.
‘Just… got reminded of something. I suppose I got lost in nostalgia for a moment.’
‘Oh yeah? Penny for your thoughts?’
You turn and smile at him.
‘This just made me think of an annoying little boy stealing candy from a supermarket. And his reluctant acquaintance who ended up getting dragged into his antics for the foreseeable future.’
It takes a second for it to click.
‘Ohhhhh.’ You watch as realisation turns to him smiling fondly at the memories, which turns to him snapping his attention to you with a fake-offended look.
You laugh at his expression.
‘Wait, hey! Annoying?!’
‘Mhm.’
‘Excuse you, I was a wonderful, sweet and positively charming child.’
Your laughter rings out in the kitchen, full of mirth, and he shakes his head at you with a familiar lopsided grin, and you are so grateful for the cheeky little boy who approached you that day.

"If you had a happy childhood of course you don't find the movie scary and find it rather boring. "
"if you didn't experience abuse it isn't scary for you"
these takes are driving me bonkers I had a perfectly normal childhood with no abuse or trauma and that movie scared the pants off me. I have a thing about audio/visual distortion. also liminality. also I liked to stay up way too late as a kid. also everything scared me as a kid because I have a very anxious personality. not trauma just like... I definitely felt Unsettled in a place that still dissonantly felt Safe as a kid and it wasn't due to any trauma or neglect or abuse. I had a good childhood and Skinamarink still terrified me.
#can we maybe like. be open to more than one specific interpretation of things? is that possible??#like to me it was ''wouldn't that be messed up?'' and how it feels when you have a bad dream or insomnia as a kid#or just. waking up when your parents are asleep and how Weird that feels#the closest I can get is the divorce metaphor with the mom but still I like it vague and sorta textually pointless#like it CAN be about abuse if that's your perspective or how it resonates with you! but that isn't the definitive only way to see it#and people saying stuff like this is starting to frustrate me bc I've been thinking about this all week#and like... so you're saying that I must actually have trauma or something because I was affected by a scary movie??#people who haven't experienced abuse can be scared or appreciate it just as well as those who have#heck some of us have felt That Type Of Dread just from EXISTING! for no reason other than Sometimes You Feel Dread!!!#or is that just me? do other people not experience feelings of utter dread for no reason at all?? is that not normal???#idk man#Lu rambles#I'm putting this in the tag for organization but if I#*I get ANY discourse I'm deleting it#skinamarink

sometimes i fear that like. people think my art woobifies goro or whatever. listen i really love drawing angst but. stuff like the art i just posted and other cuter drawings of him are often for de-stressing and just projecting. or like. my art style
obviously i make changes to his personality cause HEALING changes someone but i think he'll always be mean. But that wont stop him from being sweet either. or just wanting to act like a kid from time to time or listening to his needs like wearing long pants and socks at all times because oh my god how do people walk around in shorts. or with no socks. eugh ..
#when the towns lore#you will never catch me drawing him as a blushing maiden or loving pancakes more than anything lol#like i do think he likes pancakes. maybe cause his mother was good at making them.#and they're slightly squishy and fun to eat !#but not as much as the fandom sometimes makes it out to be lol#he can and will blush bc of akira but can make the same happen to akira too👊👊#also oh my god what the heck i just discovered this emoji 🫧🫧#THAT MAKES ME HAPPY FOR SOME REASON#🫧🫧🫧🫧#YEAAAA

and while i’m fixated on the subject today:
i’m super curious about how many people are out there (cis women in particular, but just because that’s the limited perspective i’m speaking from) who knew from the time they were young that they didn’t want kids. i suspect it has to be more common than it feels.
#my social circle is basically all liberal people#but i can still count on one hand the number of women i know who are 10+ years older than me who don't have kids#in fact it might just be one person now that i think more about it#which has made me feel super unmoored as i've gotten older because ... i truly have no life template#i have no idea what i'm supposed to be doing with these years!!!!#except -- i guess -- whatever the heck i want#😎#slash being the most obsessive dog mother to ever exist#most of my growing-up friend group still doesn't have kids though because Millennial Hellscape Existence#(plus maybe just because we're the generation of women where it's been the most normalized to not have kids?)#dollsome's deep thoughts#anyway i felt like today was a good time to talk a bit about being a woman who doesn't want kids#because i feel like it does still carry some shame/weirdness and it's time for us to move past that as a society#IT'S TIME.

I have so many thoughts about Claudia and Julius and Victor raising children in isolation of the world to protect them... the way that Claudia has the most altruistic intentions but is also the most paranoid... Julius and Victor both having varying levels of using the people they’re keeping safe in gilded cages... and yet Victor is both the one who goes even further and won’t let Elle go at all and the one who hurts her the most for his own ends.
#i don’t know im just continuously shocked that ludger likes julius#like hes happy living with him and doesnt resent julius’ protectiveness until its#obvious julius is hiding something from him#and in the manga its still framed as ‘please just let me help you’#ludger isnt isolated bc julius made him that way by force it seems like he just ended up that way bc he wanted to#meanwhile claudia and victor seem to have homeschooled their kids and probably didnt intend on letting them to talk to many ppl#i dont think claudia or victor would have taken it very well#if their overprotectiveness eventually drove their children away#i mean. well victor DOESNT take it well. we know that. we saw that#maybe this is because julius just has a lot more doubts than either of them#he isnt ludger’s parent. heck hes directly why ludger doesnt have a parent#so as much as he wants ludger safe he doesnt have the same. humour me with this word choice. entitlement as a parent#(also all that self loathing selfishness thing and the fact that ludger is a grown adult whereas pre amnesia him is a kid and so is elle)#so julius just has. better reasons to trust ludger and let him go#but i do wonder if claudia would ever let ludger live in normal society#or if she’d be too scared of spirius to ever let him#i think she might really like rieze maxia for having a way to get away from spirius#v#x2

My immune system's a bust lately.. I didn't realise my supplements are running out and I need to conserve my cash for the rest of the year... Not to mention, my body's immediate physiological sync when I'm depressed just does not help... Especially when I'm on my cycle, so I ended up with a terrible migraine and a temperature last night.
I slept for a few hours, but kept waking up bc the housecat kept meowing in the next room (she's okay, she's just a little antsy because she's in heat), but man... it did shot my chance at a good night's sleep.
Ended up getting up for a bit and just tending to emails. But I think I'm going to try and get a few more hours before I get started on my day.
This week is really packed, so hopefully next week, things are a little calmer so I can focus and work... I've been so distracted lately.
#mayflybuzz#it's not helping that i'm getting that dip of loss of interest for anything that makes me happy lately#it's directly bc of what's happening in palestine and i find myself just saddened and jaded about the world as a whole#every few years something happenns that reinstates my belief that if you're poc or esp if you're muslim#or heck if westerners think you're muslim by association then you don't have rights#they just don't care#it just somehow makes you less than human and it really takes any form of ability for me to be happy when i feel like i have to accept that#but gah i'm just ranting in the tags now#maybe a few more hours will do me good.
