this is a bit more of a specific one but hope y'all enjoy <33 comfortember day four: warmth
aaron hotchner x gender neutral reader (reader is the same height/taller than aaron in this!) you and aaron share each other's clothes. word count: 1.1k warnings/content: pet names, fluff, wearing each other's clothes, established relationship, all that cute stuff.
comfortember masterlist here! also on ao3.
stolen clothes
One day, when Aaron is out on a case in a colder state and you're stuck in the office as usual, he sends you a picture that has you grinning like a fool. It's a mirror selfie of him wearing a quarter zip he bought you a few months back, one specifically bought so that you'd stop stealing his ones out of his go-bag when it gets slightly colder. You laugh at the irony and admire the picture–it's a dark grey and fits him perfectly, making him look even more devastatingly handsome, something you didn’t think was possible. You save the photo and message him back, telling him how handsome and pretty he is wearing your clothes and smiling to yourself knowing he’s blushing on the other side of the screen.
If it weren't for him sending you the picture, you'd have found out he was wearing it eventually anyway. An hour or so later as you sit on your lunch break, your phone buzzes with a notification from a group chat you have with Emily, JJ, Penelope, and Derek. 
Hot(ch) Gossip
JJ: Is Hotch wearing a new quarter zip? 
Penny: is he? 
Penny: send pic
Penny: now
Derek: Baby girl, it's just a quarter zip. What's the fuss? 
Em: It's a new one! 
Em: He only has like 3 outfits! 
JJ: She's right.
You: it's mine
Derek: What? How do you know? 
You: he sent me a pic of him wearing it :) 
Derek: Ew! 
You: he had the rest of his clothes on, derek! 
Derek: Oh
Derek: Well that's cute 
Derek: I guess
Penny: awwwwww it is!!!! squeeeeee!!! 
Penny: send a pic!!! 
[Emily attached a photo.] 
You: oh look at him!!
Penny: he's so cute in your clothes!! ahhhhh!!! 
You: send me more pics whenever you can ;)
Derek: Oh, hell nah. 
[Derek left the chat.]
Penny: we've traumatised him 
You: nah, he's just too afraid to admit he finds aaron just as attractive as i do. he's jealousss
Penny: LOVE TRIANGLE LOVE TRIANGLE LOVE TRIANGLE
read by everyone. 
You laugh at the messages and download the picture of Aaron to keep for later, admiring him for a second before sitting back at your desk with a big smile on your face. 
After that, the team–mainly Emily and Penelope, although Dave gets in on the action occasionally–love to send you candid photos of Aaron wearing your clothes when on a case. It’s their daily entertainment. You’d let him know, of course, if it wasn’t for the fact he looks so cute in all the pictures, completely unaware and looking grumpy in your clothes, and making your entire day.
A few weeks later when you’re in the kitchen making dinner for you and Jack, your phone vibrates with a message. Glancing at it, you find yourself smiling immediately at the sight of Aaron’s name. He’s sent a picture attachment and you already know it’s going to be a picture of his bed as proof that he’s getting some much-needed sleep while out on a case.
However, to your surprise (and pure joy), it’s a picture of him tucked into bed with his pillows propped up behind him and covers bunched up under his chin. He looks adorable. Upon closer inspection, you realise that it looks like he’s wearing one of the old shirts you wear to bed, and you laugh as you realise you didn’t lose it like you thought you did. You send him a message asking if it’s your shirt and he tells you it is, promising to send another picture.
Almost five minutes later, your phone buzzes in your hand and you feel the butterflies erupt in your stomach at the sight of him. He’s smiling awkwardly into the camera, the phone held at an odd angle above his head, but the shirt is more visible and it’s most definitely yours and, of course, he looks as beautiful as ever. You smile and decide to reply with a picture of yourself to show that you’re also wearing one of his shirts.
He types for a few moments before giving up and deciding to call you instead. “Hello.”
“You’re supposed to be going to sleep, Mister.”
“I know,” he replies, a smile obvious in his voice. “But I wanted to hear from you.”
“Good,” you grin, moving the pan off the hob and turning the heat completely off, “because I wanted to hear from you, too.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah… So. When did you decide to steal my shirt?”
Aaron laughs over the phone and your chest grows tight. “It wasn’t planned, I promise. But when I was repacking my bag, it was just there on the side and… Yeah. It smelled of you and I couldn’t help myself.”
“You’re lucky you’re cute, sweetheart, because I was going insane trying to find that shirt earlier. It was there on the bed this morning and then when I checked a few hours later, it was gone!”
“Sorry, I felt like being a bit of a thief today. Don’t let my team know, they’ll arrest me.”
You let out a loud laugh at that. “God forbid they find out you stole your partner’s shirt. I better not get a picture of you in a jail cell, Hotchner.”
“What if I was still wearing your shirt in the picture?”
“Hm… maybe I do wanna see it, then.”
He laughs alongside you before asking about your day and how Jack’s been.
A few days later when Aaron is home and the two of you are getting ready for bed, he grabs one of his pyjama shirts from his go-bag. You reach out to stop him, giving him a sweet smile. “What?” He asks, cocking an eyebrow. “You want me to sleep shirtless? I would but it’s pretty cold.”
“No,” you laugh, shaking your head. “Well… yes. But no, I want you to wear this.” You hand him the shirt you wore to bed last night with a smile. “I think you’ll look cute in it.”
He smiles at you and takes it from your hand, giving you his shirt in exchange. “Then you better wear this one. Wanna see you wear it.” 
You take it from his hand and throw it on, feeling giddy as the smell of him washes over you. He looks over you fondly before throwing on your shirt and taking the few steps between you to wrap you up in a hug. You bury your face into his shoulder as he presses a soft kiss to your cheek, holding you for a few moments longer before gently tugging you into bed. He rests his head on your chest and sighs, feeling content. Pressing a soft kiss to the top of his head, you wrap your arms around him and revel in the warmth of his firm body against yours. 
The two of you fall asleep like that, in each other's clothes, feeling safe and warm and loved.

Ok so again i don't have art for the little ones yet buuut.
There's 4, all of them little girls
Their names are Aria, Vivian, Rosalie and Lucia.
Aria is David's Daughter, she is basically a female David just as a baby, she shares most of her fathers traits, she has blue eyes blond hair and has a tendency to be bossy especially with her younger siblings. She can be pretty mean to her sisters but if someone else is mean to them she gets very angry because only she can be rude to them.
Vivian mostly just called Viv or Bug is Dwayne's daughter, she looks like a carbon copy of her mother just with naturally black hair instead of Blond. She may look like her mom but she's no where near as much of a spitfire as Virginia is, Vivian mostly shares her fathers personality being the calmest out of the four and can be a pushover. Aria also calls her a cry baby since she's the one who's most likely to cry.
Rosalie is Paul's daughter, she has the wild hair of her father which frustrates Virginia because her hair is incredibly hard to control. Both her and Lucia are little trouble makers, either they push each other to do something dumb or they do dumb stuff together, much to the chagrin of Virginia and Aria.
And last but not least Lucia is Marko's daughter, she has curly blond hair which is naturally very poofie, she looks like a mix of Marko and Virginia. She has the tendency to get incredibly fussy incredibly quickly especially if she doesn't get what she wants. She's also the first out of the four to jump into a fight if someone insults any of her sisters. Even though she is the youngest of the four she likes to pretend to be the oldest which quickly gets shut down by Aria.
All in all if you put all four of them into a room together with no one to supervise, either a fight will break out between them or they will just bicker amongst each other. All of them are biiiggg daddy's girls and they all see all of the boys as their dads even if only one of them is biologically theirs.
They can get very roudy especially if their dads are out and about while they have to sit in the cave. They all like to pretend to be big girls old enough to go hunt but the moment they hear a scary noise they all huddle around Virginia.
AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW 🥹🥹🥹
THEYRE ALL SO DARLINGGGG IM GONNA CRYYY

I had a dream about Bob once, and he was too shy to ask Reader out on a date, so he wrote her a letter asking her out, and they go to the beach together. Idk I thought that was the cutest shit ever. Anyway, Bob loses his glasses in the ocean and he's frustrated (and unable to see), but maybe a kiss would make up for it.
i love as a collective, we’re all dreaming about bob atm!!! <3
WROTE HER A LETTER??????????? stop it this is the softest thing i’ve ever read oml
oh a kiss is definitely making up for it. he’s more frustrated that he can’t see how pretty you look right now, but you cup his face in your hands, guiding him towards you and placing your lips softly on his. he can taste the light sheen of salt on your lips and the peppermint chapstick.
“better?” you ask, pulling away. he’s putty in your hands. “better.” he confirms.
squeeeeee!!! thank you so much for this wonderfully soft thought dear anon!! 💌

OUAT Thoughts Pt.68--Episodes 7-8
I have watched through S7E8; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.
—Just when I thought I couldn’t love Hook any more, he stayed in a tower alone to raise his daughter that he didn’t expect to have. He’s just the best!
—Regina’s cold-shoulder plaid shirt has got me reeling. And that wavy hair? She is absolutely heaven on earth.
—I think Alice needs one of those shirts with the Sappho quote on it about being unable to weave bc ✨pretty girl✨ She just kinda ran headlong into disaster lesbian territory.
—Hook’s poisoned heart (I guess I missed the fine print on that when they explained it a little while ago, because I was a bit confused) keeping him and Alice apart is incredibly sad. I’m having trouble remembering when his heart was supposed to have been cursed, but obviously it wasn’t for a while, because he had to be able to raise Alice.
—That thing where the lockets started glowing for Ella and Henry was awesome. Although…I still don’t like Ella very much? I think she’s the closest this show has come to girlboss *derogatory* territory, and I hate that kind of character. No thanks.
—That being said, she has shown a little bit of emotion in episode 8, so I choose to think she’ll get better. I would say she just needs to have her walls come down, but Emma didn’t girlboss all over the place when she first showed up, and she had like sixty-foot-high cement walls with barbed wire and bear traps, so that’s not an excuse.
—Gothel still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. And while she doesn’t really need to, and all I need her for story-wise is being a generic magic user, I’ve come to expect more from this show, so I’m guessing she’ll probably get some backstory later. At least something to explain why Regina’s wigging about her being free.
—I also don’t get why a plant is supposed to bring Anastasia back.
—I’d like to know what Rumple’s up to. If he’s going to be an ass to Regina *still affectionate* *not loving him has become an impossibility* then I’d like to have some confidence that he has a good reason.
—Because holy cow, my love for Regina has existed for several seasons, but today it hit me like a six-ton truck. I might have her name carved on my heart only below Rumple’s, when it comes to OUAT. She’s a great mix of incredibly storytelling, a redemption arc to die for (you just know I’m a sucker for one of those), amazing fashion sense, enchanting personality, and gorgeous looks. Wow.
—It was fun to see Hook in full pirate mode again. That red vest is the best.
—When Gothel was pretending to be Rapunzel, that dress was sooooo pretty.
—Hook setting up a weekly chess game with Alice is my new favorite. He has no clue, and he’s still reaching out to her.
—Squeeeeee White Knight!!😍
—Actually, the Wonderland references in episode 8 were excellent. The Walrus restaurant with the oysters? Well, first of all, it proved to me that oysters are beyond disgusting and that trying to swallow one would probably make me sick, but that was a delightful reference. Bonus points for being something that isn’t as obvious as the Cheshire Cat or the Queen of Hearts.
—Also, I cannot believe I finally got to see a tea party in Wonderland! Kind of a depressing, sad little tea party, but I’ll take what I can get.
—Alice’s Wonderland clothes were gorgeous. That red skirt is to die for.
—How old is she supposed to be? The timelines in this season are messing with my brain, and given how old this Hook was when we first met him I’m guessing she’s a young adult, but I can’t figure it out with logic and it bothers me. Based on her appearance, I’d say she’s in her early twenties, but I’ve never been that good at puzzling out people’s ages based on their looks.
—Regina and Henry having a roadtrip to San Fransisco is fun. Although I’m terrified that the person who hates her in San Fransisco is Zelena, because I know Zelena appears later in the season (nothing more, though) and after everything they’ve been through it would destroy me to see them not getting along again.
—But then again, there are probably still a lot of people who hate Regina, so maybe it’s not her. Besides, as far as I know Zelena wasn’t around to get cursed.
—It bothers me how much of this season takes place in a bar. They’re tryna get the Granny’s vibe back, but could they not have found any better eatery than a bar? The amount of drinking most of the characters have done in this season is bonkers compared to the other six seasons. Maybe Regina should’ve had a bakery or something.
—I am ashamed of myself for not getting the Star Wars reference. Smh.
—It amuses me that the song Henry was listening to in episode 8 was called “Bizarre Love Triangle” because I am getting some kinda vibes between him, Ella, and what’s-his-face collectively.
—I love the bracelet Rumple’s been wearing lately. It’s hard to see because he’s usually wearing a jacket, but it’s cute and I would love to get a clearer shot of it.

Exciting news I was too fucking exhausted from work yesterday to really think about or acknowledge:
Greensearcher, writer of Mirrors, finally got back to me and--whew!--was cool not only about me binding it for myself, but for them!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!
Now I'm nervous though
Tumblr media
I'm not the most extra, creatively speaking. I'm pretty minimalist. And I'm designing the cover cloth myself..... what if it's not good enough?!?!
Like, I can throw some yellow book cloth on some books for my sister and it's fine. But if it's going to someone completely else and never coming back to me, I feel like I need to put forth a solid effort.
Tangent though, I can never help myself from thinking, when I'm trying to make something "heirloom", which is a goal of mine when I make anything: What are the archival/ "archival" qualities of my materials?
I've been working on sourcing my paper, which is, obviously, of course, my main material, and I've been using Lineco for my boards, I'm going to transition to their adhesive, but what are the long-term properties of my Spoonflower cloths? I would look into whether or not their cloths are meant to last. They seem really nice so far--I've used their "regular" cotton cloth and I looooooooovvvvvvvveeeeeeeedddddd their.... what is it, the performance linen? Ohhhhhh emgeee 😍🥰 I want to try their denim and canvas, but maybe for this........hmmmmmm...... something lighter? Maybe.... soft? Too bad I can't get custom printed suede *licks imaginary suede* but I could get bind it in suede anyway........I like suede and I think it would be an appropriate choice. The only reason I don't think velvet is appropriate is scale. While it would, in retrospect, be funny to have typeset this book as an 8×11, I am not entirely re-typesetting it merely for the lulz.
Anyway. Spoonflower fabrics are nice. I think they are durable enough for the purposes to which I set them. I feel like whether the cover lasts compared to whether the insides (particularly the type or any images)--it's easier to give the book a dust jacket, which can be replaced ad infinitum, and if the time ever comes, replace the cover; than to restore the real work contained within.
Not that I don't want my covers to hold up, but I'm definitely less precious about my covers?? Where I'm incredibly concerned about my paper and ink.
Anyway. Tldr, I'm excited with a healthy dose of trepidation because I'm a minimalist and all these other fan-binders are just so imaginative and dazzling with their gorgeous, creative, imaginative covers and I'm just like, I did a thing with the title?
I probably just need practice. I haven't cased too many of my text blocks sooooooooo. Anyway, I'm going to quit rambling.

So much color! @coyoteclayandcolor asked me to try some of their new glazes. Of course my response was, “Squeeeeee!,” but I think I managed to write “yes, I would be happy to do so.” Their new Hydra Scale (Fantasy Series) has been my first deep dive because of the way it holds a line right at the edge, yet allows runny glazes to flow over it. Plus it is a pretty blue, and we all know how I feel about blue. 💙💙💙 This #teabowl is glazed in Coyote’s Blue Purple, Gun Metal Green and Hydra Scale then fired with my crystalline glaze firing schedule. Happy #teatuesday everybody. . . #ceramicglaze #coyoteclayandcolor #teabowl #purple #pottery #ceramics #porcelain #cup #claytalk #etsymudteam #etsy #supportartists #clayartsutah #pottersofinstagram #cone6 #makeart #lithologyceramicart https://www.instagram.com/p/CYmFpq6rlat/?utm_medium=tumblr

Okay...
Since people have been coming at me about my latest anti-radfem/terf post, I just thought I’d respond to why I don’t support them here: 
I won’t deny that there are some parts of radical feminism that I agree with, but the main reason I don’t support them is because their fundamental beliefs are not very feminist at all, actually. 
To start, radical feminists, especially trans-exclusionary radical feminists(what TERF stands for in case you’ve been living under a rock) believe that trans women are not real women and that trans men are not real men. Already problematic(and wrong) beliefs until you realize the sheer transmisogyny that is ingrained into the radical feminist doctrine. The vast majority of them believe not only that trans women are crossdressing males, but that they do it as some sort of fetish, or to “invade” female-friendly spaces, or that they are overall twisted and violent towards cis women. I actually saw a post today by a radfem comparing being transgender to being a drug addict, I am not kidding. 
I’ve seen similar posts all over the internet accusing transgender women of getting off to being addressed with gendered slurs or insulted with specifically feminine-branded/sexist insults, implying not only that trans women(whom they see as crossdressing men, remember that) get off on the humiliation of women and having it directed at them while they “pretend” to be women, but that trans women see the ultimate purpose of being a woman as being degraded or humiliated. 
I’m not trans, but I’m pretty sure trans women feel most validated in their feminine identity when they are referred to or seen as female in a POSITIVE manner, whether this involves being included in discussions of feminism, being welcomed in female-specific spaces, being addressed as “ma’am” “lady” and other terms(of course, this isn’t every trans woman and some may even abhor these words, once again, I am cis, so if you see this view as being limiting then let me know...but only if you are a trans woman!), or other ways of showing trans women that you respect their identity and womanhood. I highly doubt they’d respond positively to “dumb slut bitch go make me a sandwich while I do xyz” and go “SQUEEEEEE HE SEES ME AS A WOMAN YAY!!!!” Because I’m pretty damn sure that this is just a mocking stereotype that radfems came up with so as to spew more hatred. The idea that trans women see being a woman as a fetish at all actually doesn’t really imply what they think it does. If anything, it reinforces the belief that women have no worth at all beyond being sex objects or fetishes for men. Thus, the ONLY reason trans women would identify as women is as a fetish, because why else on Earth would someone dare to genuinely identify as a woman without it being through the lens of the male gaze(as if being female isn’t a legitimate identity or something like that). In short, proving their own biases. 
The most aggravating thing for me is their insistence that trans women can step in and out of their female fetish identity to take on the privileges of cis men whenever and wherever they want. Like they’re just men throwing on dresses for the fun of it. Do they even realize how flimsy this notion portrays the female gender identity to be? How it ultimately throws all women under the bus? I don’t think they do because they genuinely, sincerely, do not see trans women as women, to the point where they don’t even see them as being oppressed. If anything, they seem to think that trans women have male privilege. Until they learn to support their trans sisters, I will not be supporting them. 
The other reason is their insistence that femininity is this negative evil she-demon of the patriarchy. Radfems believe that femininity is something men enforce on women that exists solely as a corrupt force to subjugate women and keep them in their place, and that it is only good for being a sex object who lives to accommodate men and their desires. Thus, they believe that any feminine woman ever has been brainwashed by the patriarchy into being subdued by the coercive evils of pink and lipgloss. That just for wearing high heels or liking jewelry, you are making yourself less of a human and more of a decoration. Oh, and that it’s impossible to REALLY enjoy these things. Feminine women and girls are just forced into them so they believe that they do. No choices exist in a vacuum, and yet they never consider that their choice to completely abhor and reject femininity doesn’t exist in a vacuum as well. 
Women live in a dichotomized hell that can’t be escaped with mindsets like these. If you’re feminine, then society sees you as a brainless sex object that’s only good for dick sucking. Someone, weak, fragile, delicate, and incapable, the exact thing that strokes men’s egos. If you’re not feminine, then society sees you as not being ENOUGH of a brainless sex object like you’re “supposed” to be. Not fragile enough, not delicate enough, not incapable enough. Yes, women are policed and shunned by friends and society for not adhering to the gender role. But it doesn’t erase the fact that our society has a sheer abhorrence for the feminine, a hatred for anything “girly”, especially if it’s for teenage girls, while also hating women who don’t “know their place” so to speak. There might be some women out there who don’t genuinely enjoy or embrace being feminine but do it because society expects it of them. But many women also go through a “not like other girls” phase in their lives where they shun anything seen as too girly and want to be one of the boys. And that’s a side effect of the patriarchy if there ever was one. 
Our society teaches us to hate being a girl and making femininity into something to be hated is one of the ways it does so. Of course, not every girl has to be feminine. But not every girl needs to get rid of femininity to be a feminist because “you’ve been brainwashed by the patriarchy into making yourself an object for men!” as if men can dictate to us how to act and feel. And do us a favor and quit acting like merely liking makeup, pink, dresses, jewelry, heels, and other such stuff is merely forced upon us by men. Believe it or not, some women can genuinely EMBRACE femininity on their own terms, and doing so isn’t being a docile sheep who “knows her place, so to speak, and is adhering to the patriarchy. Crazy, I know! There’s also the whole white feminism argument but I already spoke about it, so yeah. 
The third is that they’re just plain racist. I’ve seen multiple posts by them talking about male violence against women and how men as a group don’t care about women’s trauma and abuse and even seem to get off to it, as well as how dangerous it is to get close to any man for fear that they may rape and abuse you, and to be honest, I couldn’t give less of a shit about that. Because it’s true. But what I need them to stop doing is acting like Black men in particular are ESPECIALLY violent and need to be steered clear from. This is just like the white feminist argument I made about femininity earlier. It shows where their perspective comes from. Far, far too many radical feminists like to pretend that Black men are these evil monsters and that while all men are violent, Black men are the worst out of the lot. I even saw some of them say that Black women are better off dating white men than Black men because they’re “safer” for them. 
White men?! Safer for Black women WHERE?!?!?! When white men are the ones fetishizing Black women to no end and treat having sex with us like a “checklist” or who say shit like “you’re pretty for a Black girl” and other absurd and annoying comments? They still want us to be their rapeable plantation slaves that they can breed to their hearts’ content, and yet these white ladies have the fucking NERVE to say “well I think it’s safer for Black women to marry white men because they’re less toxic than Black men!” No. Shut the fuck up. Wash your face. Go outside. I can’t STAND it when white women try to tell Black women what to think and how to feel and how to act and what to find empowering. It’s not that I mind Black women who date white men(or Asian men, or Hispanic men, or men of any other race!). I don’t have anything against Black women dating or even marrying interracially! But telling us to do it to escape the clutches of “vicious” Black men? That’s where I start itching to bash your face into a moving fan. 
So those are my problems with radfems. They don’t actually do anything beneficial for the movement. They’re actually detrimental to it. The sheer amount of racism, sexism, femmephobia, and transphobia that they enforce is utterly disgusting. Radfems, please do not respond or reblog or I will fucking block your ass. I don’t need your hate here. Have a good day.

While seeing 2nd holder being Almost!Bakugou is more exciting at least than the last couple of weeks, I just want to remind everyone that the fandom is intrigued by him only because he resembles our!Bakugou - a character we’ve spent a long time being invested in and learnt to root for. 
Tumblr media
And whatever almost!Bakugou’s deal is (ancestor, or alternate universe Bakugou Ni. Katsuki or Same-Face cosplayer of on the nose parallel), the attention he gets is all earned by our!Bakugou. His story is relevant mostly in relation to our!Bakugou. 
Because this dude is dead and as a character, his development is for all purposes is done (while our!Bakugou is dealing with a ton of shit somewhere out there and I frankly want to see what he’s up to!!!) And this is why I’m really getting worn out by the 7-quirk OFA plot. 
Long rant under the cut. 
We are treading water in Vestige-World, with Deku’s new dead friends. They are not characters we are invested in, because in order to do that, we need to spend time with them and watch them struggle and change and learn and grow. But that’s not feasible within the span of the story - so we just get a short-hand explanation of their history - but they have no depth and only very surface personality. 
Banjo is the loud Good Guy. Nana is the hot thighs Good Guy who happens to be Shiggy’s granny. En is the quiet Good Guy. First is the original Good Guy who looks like Shiggy. 4th is the Good Guy with the scar. 2nd is the tsundere, almost!Bakugou Good Guy. 3rd is the BFF to second Good Guy. Like the seven fucking dwarves. 
In the end, they don’t really have distinct motivations. All these supposedly “randomly” chosen people are good and heroic and they do their best and now that AFO somehow pulled them out of the core of OFA, they sit around on their cushy chairs, breaking themselves to be helpful to their cute little kuhai. 
Because it is all so shallow, Deku gets no development from it either. We are visibly trying to speed through this thing so much that smokescreen is unlocked off-screen, Deku learns everything in a week (undermining everyone else’s quirk learning curves)- but there is no process, no learning, no struggle, no change. 
Sure, there is a change of design into Badass!Bunny (Mirko still wears it better), but how did the vestiges IMPACT Deku? What did he learn other than new skills? What perspective did he gain? 
It feels like Deku is the empty cup, they keep pouring their skills into, and he just stands there as always, with eyes wide, as our one-way mirror into vestige!world, which itself is just a bunch of asspull, make-it-up-as-we-go-along type of lore. 
Deku has very little agency in this OFA-business. Things happen because of external factors:  because of “singularity”, because AFO tried to take it, because the vestiges decide to “show up”, because First gives a pep talk to 2nd and 3rd. They give him live instructions on how to use the new toys, so he’s not even figuring anything out. Ironically, it feels less and less like Deku’s quirk and more like OFA Hivemind using Deku’s body. 
And because obviously the objective is just to give Deku more powers, well the powers themselves are also under-developed and uninteresting. 
In BNHA-universe, quirks are established as physical abilities with limits. They require a limited resource, or have a downside or they are on a timer. No power is limitless. 
Yet the OFA-extras don’t seem to have any of these things. 
Black Whip is the worst offender. We don’t know what resource it uses, it has no timer, it can sprout from any body part, its strength is not connected to the strength of the wielder, yet it is apparently strong enough to keep restraining a Muscular level guy - it doesn’t even disappear after manifestation even though it’s not corpoeral. Like, BW has absolutely no limits. 
It’s only known parameter is: whatever Horikoshi wants to draw. 
Float is another outrageous quirk. Everyone else’s flight requires a resource, an active effort, or a trade-off between flying and fighting. Float is just a limitless air-movement with no downside or timer that completely leaves Deku’s arms and legs free to fight. And is a mostly passive ability? I guess? We don’t know... But it sure doesn’t look complicated since Deku unlocked and used it instantenously with no problems.
Danger Sense - I had so much hope for Danger Sense because finally a quirk that could have been troublesome, stretching Deku’s mental limits and teaching him something about trying to do everything by himself.  While in the raid Deku blacked out from Danger Sense, within one week it developed into a power that can be used basically the same way as Sir’s prediction (which was on limited timer) to evade opponent’s move and also as a long-distance police emergency scanner to locate more danger. No downsides - no mental strain - no confusing input into the fight. 
Smoke Screen - ok, we know nothing about this one either, other than it’s like BW - makes something out of nothing. 
So here we are now. Deku spending time with his under-developed dead friends and using a bunch of extra quirks that he got as free candy. It’s all fight mechanics. Where are the emotional stakes???
7-quirk OFA undermined the uniqueness of characters like Sero, Froppy (BW), Uraraka (Float), Jirou, Shoji (Danger Sense), like we said it would. It shifted story-time from the characters we are invested in, and the bonds we care about, to have Deku interact with his under-developed and uniformly Good Guy dead friends. It gave him more powers, but none of it feels earned. He’s not challenged either by the power or the history.  
There is no sense of accomplishment like there was when Deku figured out Full Cowl, or when Bakugou got his new explosion, or when Todoroki finally pushed his limits to get flashfire. 
I’m not saying there was never potential in this plot. The vestiges could have challenged Deku more - some of them could have been a bit more grey (maybe 2nd will be just a bit), the powers could have been more challenging with more downsides, with bigger off-sets.  Having so many people in his head could have stretched Deku psychologically. 
But Vestige-land feels like a shiny, boring suburb where everyone is just so NICE and HELPFUL that it feels kind of fake. 
And what did we gain? Yes, Deku got more powers and a wardrobe change, but no character development. 
And what did we lose? Everything. We are losing out on seeing Deku’s friends, the meaningful bonds, their struggles, their resolve. 
I’m sorry, but I’m a 1000 times more invested in seeing Bakugou and Todoroki (especially Todoroki! OMG! what an untapped drama potential) and Momo, and Mina and hell Aizawa, Shinsou - they all came away with so much pain and unfinished business. And the League - Dabi, Tomura, Toga ... so much potential.
Instead, we are getting an - what feels like - obligatory  MC arc that tries very hard to pretend that Deku is the only hero left in the world (when we know that there is no way the others are not out there doing their best, and if they aren’t, that’s because some stupid plot asspull) who will fix everything by himself.
Because it’s blatantly untrue. We’ve spent years learning that there are other heroes who can and will step up when they need to, all the class, most of the pros, other students... I’m feeling such a whiplash and deep disappointment every time I open a new chapter with this peddling of the “new symbol! Deku stuff”. 
And no cutesy fucking lunch-boxes are going to mask the emptiness of this crap. 
And I’m baffled by the fandom reaction. There are so many people who say that oh, finally, because Deku deserves his own arc. Sure, but doesn’t it matter what kind of arc? Wouldn’t you want to see something more meaty than “omg our boy looks so badass!!!! squeeeeee!!!!”? 
I’m hoping still that it is a build-up to something more interesting and Deku’s current obsession of doing it all alone and frankly grating martyr-complex is not going to be framed as a good thing (even though it looks right now that this is totally being framed as a good thing and a Mighty Boy origin story) and will lead to some kind of failure instead that will teach Deku to learn to rely on his friends and empower them and not just try to fix everything for them, which after 300+ chapters feels pretty fucking insulting on behalf of the “side characters”.

OMG thanks for the tip on Herb McGwyer watched it the other night and pretty sure people in adjacent flats could hear my SQUEEEEEEing all the way through.
RIGHT??? isn't that perfect?? and why is a short film so charged?? I swear I cried at the end first time I watched
and I'm absolutely in love about their dynamics and the level of effort they put into details, those details tell us so much and I think even if we're not completely aware of them we experience their impact emotionally
don't mind my cue to list said details because I love them so much
[for the ones who didn't watch it SPOILER ALERT]
- the easiest one to notice is at the beginning charles' extreme interest in herb's marriage situation
- at 6:11, charles is looking at herb's picture even though herb is right there next room, showing how much he is hyped about the guy
- when charles tells him the story behind his money he mentions a rough path he had to experience before he wons the lottery again making his life actually better this time and at the end he says something like "now it's just me, the shack, and your music". this got me thinking that maybe charles discovered herb's songs on this second and better part of his life and associated herb's music, and therefore the man himself, to general wellbeing (this one is mostly headcanon but I can't help thinking this about that scene)
- at 14:12, charles says to a ranting herb after spending a few minutes quiet listening "and I mean it from the bottom of my heart-", but herb interrupts him. whatever it was charles was preparing himself to say that
- charles thinks herb was bathing and enters the room anyway 👀
- herb plays not only hours of a private show for charles but he plays the song he wouldn't in any other show just because charles asked for it
- herb waves and charles nervously waves back twice just to be sure herb sees it
and of course this is not a detail, BUT THE ENDING 😭😭😭 charles' face when he sees the money on his table 😭😭 they didn't have the right to stab my feelings like tHAT
and also the fact that this short was WRITTEN BY THEM, everything including the songs were made by our boys tom & tim
this is all literally too much
I was this close to write a fanfic

Funny Moments In Thor 1
Find Thor 2 here
Find Avengers 1 here
I’ve been thinking about doing this thing where I watched all three Thor movies and the first Avengers movies and take note of all the funny moments. Then I’m gonna compare all pre-ragnarok funny moments to all ragnarok moments to explain the problems I have with the humor in there. This will probably be spread out across several posts so here we go with the first one. This is just going to be a post about all the funny moments in Thor 1, the next moves will come later. I’ll also add a couple extra thoughts near the end. But first, tagging some people I think might be interested. @fyrecrafted @nikkoliferous @lokijiro @miskiett @icyxmischief @iamanartichoke @juliabohemian This will definitely be a series so if you wanna be added/removed from the tag list, let me know. Alright, now finally to the post. 
~ “I am not dying for six college credits!”
~ “I think that was legally your fault”
~ Loki’s face when Odin and Thor are arguing in the Weapons Vault
~ “And who proved wrong that a young maiden could be one of the fiercest warriors this realm had ever known?” “Bitch I did”
~ *frost giant roars* *Thor roars back louder*
~ “Woah does he need CPR because I totally know CPR”
~ “We need to take him to the hospital” “He’s fine!”
~ “Hospital. You go. I’ll stay.”
~ *Darcy tazes Thor* “What?! He was freaking me out!”
~ “HoW dArE yOu AtTaCk ThE sOn Of OdIn!!!”
~ “YOU ARE NO MACTH FOR THE MIGHTY- squeeeeee”
~ *Jane hits Thor with her truck again* “what?!! I’m so sorry! I swear I’m not doing this on purpose!!”
~ Stan Lee: “Did it work?”
~ “You know, for a crazy homeless guy, he’s pretty cut”
~ “This drink. I like it. ANOTHER!!!!!” 
~ “This is so going on Facebook. Smile!” *Thor smiles like a little ray of sunshine*
~ “You just intend to go in there and take it?” “Yes”
~ “Myuh Myuh? Whats Myuh Myuh?”
~ “Everything I know about this phenomenon is either in this lab or in this book and you can’t just take it awa-” *takes book away*
~ “They even took my iPod. I just downloaded like 30 songs onto there”
~ “I’ll email him and maybe he can help” “They took your laptop too”
~ “I need a horse!” “We don't have horses. Just birds, cats, dogs” “Then give me one of those large enough to ride”
~ “Just in case you don't hear from me in an hour come by the crater site ok I did exactly what you told me not to. Im so sorry. Bye”
~ “Better call it Coulson cause I’m startin to root for this guy”
~ *Selvig bullshitting his way through convincing SHEILD to let Thor go*
~ Coulson: “Just keep him away from the bars!” Thor: “Where are we going?” Selvig: “To get a drink”
~ *Thor and Selvig getting competitive in their drinking abilities*
~ “What happened?” “We drank. We fought. He made his ancestors proud”
~ *Jane fumbling with the dishes in front of her crush*
~ “Shh. Heimdall may be watching” “Heimdall demands your presence” “We’re doomed”
~ “Base, we’ve got Xena, Jackie Chan, Robin Hood”
~ *drops mugs when they see the Warriors 4*
~ “FOR ASGAAA-” *gets wacked*
~ “You’re a talented liar brother. Always have been” “Its good to have you back” (Z snap)
~ “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim”
THE END!!!!!! (finally)
I’ll do the big comparison between the movies on one big masterpost. But now a couple things I wanna mention before I forget. For starters, the closer the movie gets to the climax, the LESS jokes there are. Also, in most (if not all) of the emotional scenes (Loki telling Thor that Odin died, Loki confronting Odin in the Weapons Vault, etc) there were no jokes. Also, Darcy was the comic relief in this movie and she was ACTUALLY funny. She felt like she had depth and was pretty well-rounded imo and wasn’t annoying compared to OTHER characters in Ragnarok. Also, all of the jokes feel in-character and flow well with the movie.

OMFG that snippet!! Hello?? I am already a mess and prepared to get further wrecked!! 😱
Also I don't think it's overdone actually? I can't think of a fic that has James in such a state, EVEN THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE! Thank you for your service ma'am 😭😭
squeeeeee so excited that you’re excited!!
so what I meant by the piece being a bit overdone is more the “🤬🤬 where is my gf 🤬🤬” trope which I’m fully comfortable saying is played out lol - but also! fanfiction is a self-indulgent medium and I feel like writing it, so yeah! my general opinion is that as long as it’s not harming anyone, why not  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
I think I just have an irrational fear of being perceived as anti-feminist or smth when I write things like James having a white knight moment/complex HAHA. but I guess take one look at my blog and that notion is dispelled pretty quickly...hm
anyway thank you for sharing your excitement with me!! amped to finish writing this piece and excited to see it come together :) :) xx

I had a thought about Jake and instructor!Reader
So you went to top gun a graduated a year or two after Maverick, and you immediately became an instructor. Saw Maverick go through his “month” of teaching when he tried to be an instructor all those years ago before the uranium mission, so he’s a close friend.
That first night at the Hard Deck you’d been chatting with Maverick at the bar and all night someone had been sending you drinks. And you accepted them(bc free drinks) as the night went on you had gone to the bathroom thus missing see him go Overboard. But when you get back you see the tall blonde Texan sitting in Maverick’s spot smiling all pretty at you. “So what’s a lovely Lady like yourself doing here alone?”
And you just shake your head “down boy, I’m old enough to be your mother”
He shrugs motioning to Penny for another round for the two of you “so?” He smirked “the way I see it, you’ve got one thing everyone else here dosent have” Cocking your brow to him you motion for Jake to continue “experience”
Letting out a chuckle you pat his shoulder “whatever you say big boy”
And then leave after paying for your drinks.
The next day when Admiral Bates and Simpson introduced the two instructors for the mission, not only was Jake embarrassed about throwing Mav overboard, he was also a blushing mess seeing the woman he had made a pass at the previous night.
YES YES YES YES
JUST LIKE THE OG TOP GUN I WOULD MAKE SUCH A FOOL OF JAKE JUST CAUSE I LOVE TO SEE HIM GET ALL BLUSHY SQUEEEEEE
i’m definitely making him grovel and using my position as an instructor to get back at him. tee hee
omg i love this so so much!! thank you so much for these incredible thoughts as always my love!!! ilysm!!!! mwah!!! 💌💖

"The smallfolk call it the crossroads inn. Elder Brother told me that two of Masha Heddle's nieces have opened it to trade once again." He raised his staff. "If the gods are good, that smoke rising beyond the hanged men will be from its chimneys." -- Brienne VII, AFFC.
Well, this just caught my eye.  Elder Brother knows the Heddles.  The BwB under LSH let Septon Meribald and Dog go on their way after Brienne, Hyle, and Podrick were captured.  Meribald is probably trucking it back to the Quiet Isle to report on the battle between Brienne and the men who were actually responsible for the Saltpans massacre, Rorge (in the stolen Hound’s helm) and Biter. 
So there’s this.  It was a six-day ride to the Saltpans from where Arya left Sandor along the Trident:
She turned her horse and rode away from him, and never looked back once.
On a bright morning six days later, she came to a place where the Trident began to widen out and the air smelled more of salt than trees.
And they had come from the inn at the crossroads where Sandor was injured, following the Trident.  So Elder Brother was pretty far from the isle when he found Sandor.  He must have been coming from the inn at the crossroads himself after Jeyne and Willow Heddle had reopened the inn for the orphans.  That’s how he knew who was currently running it.  Before that, when Arya and Sandor had been there, the inn had been run by Masha’s nephew who had turned it into a brothel.  Timeon of the Bloody Mummers told Brienne that the nephew was killed by Rorge after Sandor and Arya had left. Meribald said he heard it was an unnamed lord from the EB, but to the smallfolk witnesses (the whores), Rafford (who interrogated the innkeeper) might have been perceived as a minor lordling or knight.      
So what could EB have been doing at the inn at that time?  Could he have gone there to visit the Heddle family after hearing it had resorted to prostitution for the family’s survival?  Catelyn says Masha had been a well-known figure in the area for many years, giving cakes to children.  Meribald says he knew Masha as a kindly woman who was very charitable with feeding and sheltering him when he passed through ministering to the people.  So clearly she was considered a friend of the faith and the smallfolk. To learn her place had become a brothel in such dire times might draw the EB there out of concern for the family’s welfare, especially with the young nieces. That’s well within his character as he was known to be a healer that serviced the smallfolk of the Saltpans.  So he probably arrives there just after Jeyne and Willow reopen.  Then on his way back to the isle, runs into a dying Sandor.                  
Now that I see EB probably had a personal connection to the Heddles, I’m near 100% sure EB and Meribald are going to be responsible for bringing together the parties in the Riverlands, the Quiet Isle, and the Vale. EB has an interest in Sandor, Sansa, Brienne, and the men who stole the Hound’s helm and massacred the Saltpans. He already tried with no effect to clear Sandor’s name by sending out letters, but he is still believed alive and actively marauding. If he learns through Meribald that Willow and Jeyne are associates of the BwB under Stoneheart, that’s definitely some cause for concern.  He’s also heard the entirety of Brienne’s story, her vows to Catelyn and Jaime, and why she must continue on her quest to find Sansa.  Oh, she talked a hell of a lot to him about Jaime and the things he did for her.  (Now I really want to see a conversation between Jaime and EB so he can help him sort out his shit!  Squeeeeee!!! =D  @janiedean)  GRRM placed him and Meribald as conduits of information between these storylines.  And as a person, EB is characterized as really caring about these people and is invested in their struggles.  But most of all, EB and Meribald are characterized as people that take action to help others.

whoops! late again. well, here i go: squeeeeee! i love yamamoto. absolutely *adore* him. one of the bestest boys ever! and i guess mc's now got approval? and little lambo, although he's not so little now, seems pretty well adjusted. i wonder if yamamoto is gonna ask the Mists or just chrome to background check them. or if he's already done that. ahhhhh– i hope to see him next chapter too. i'm still waiting on an unavoidable incident happening upon them and the reaction of tsuna and co. -ube
you’re never late in my heart, ube ;)
i’m glad to hear you love yamamoto! it’s very easy to get caught up and only write about him, but i honestly love all three of the namimori trio, so i’ll try to convince you all to come to all three sides :D
in terms of involvement with our MC, he has yet to do anything beyond a cursory background check (in legal terms) - our turning point for his investment hasn’t happened yet, but approval is definitely on the table.
keep on waiting, my friend. take my hand, and keep on waiting :D
