not going to give the blog any attention or time of day but this is your reminder that the leverage crew would never be zionists or support israel whatsoever
I wasn't going to engage with it because I value my mental health but yeah. absolutely fucking NOT
y'all really think that this group of people that actively go out of their way to go against the rich and powerful, who make it their goal to help people that are oppressed, devalued by society and taken advantage by those more powerful would at all EVER align themselves with israel? bffrrn
I'm going to go off for a few paragraphs about why this is such a horrendously ridiculous and delusional idea, but I'm not going to clog up your dash so it's going under the cut. I want to respect people who already participate in activism and need fandom space for lighter things
tw for discussion of the atrocities and war crimes happening in palestine
over 25 THOUSAND innocent people have died as a result of israeli terror the last few months alone. over 10 thousand children. entire family lines have been erased from the world forever- grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren all martyred, often together as they are sheltering from bombs and bullets until they are murdered by soldiers that laugh as they shoot and detonate bombs.
you really think that eliot 'I adopt every child I see' spencer would support a regime that let a child stay trapped in a car where her family members were martyred, not let paramedics in for days and then when they finally let the paramedics approach they kill both her AND the EMS? you think he would stand with the government that arrests children as young as 6 years old for *checks hand* being terrorists (because what fucking 6 year old is a terrorist let alone any kind of national threat. they're fucking SIX). that snipes children for throwing rocks at tanks and their apartheid walls
he and all of them would weep at the picture released the other day of the little girl handing from rubble with her legs blown off.
all of them would be horrified of the bombardment that has murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians, women, children, men, elderly alike with no fucking care. that shoots people with their hands up waving white flags. that bulldozes graveyards and digs up bodies and probably steals organs from they dying and deceased. that bombs hospitals, governmental and archival buildings, mosques, churches, holy sites, schools and universities. whose soldiers have a trend where they go through women's underwear drawers and make lewd comments about their lingerie and how kinky they must be. who make tiktoks of them playing in decimated playgrounds and signing their children's names on bombs. who force parents to collect pieces of their children in plastic bags because they have been blown apart by relentless bombing. who shoot a grandmother holding a child's hand. who murdered a woman that dared say that she was older than the 'state' of israel.
the fact that you're posting this as israel relentlessly bombs rafa, the place they were told would be the only safe place to be, where 1.6 million people are living in tents living off animal feed because no sufficient humanitarian aid (if any) has been let through
these people that advocate for comeuppance and exposing wrongs would not support a regime that actively targets and murders journalists and their entire families.
you really think any of them would actively support a genocidal sociopathic government? fucking delusional
to a certain extent, I know that people want to keep fandom and advocacy spaces separate and I acknowledge and relate to that- when we are logged on every moment of the day we sometimes need to take breaks and engage with something else for our mental health. I need that too. and there is a very thin line when you try to apply fandom to current events because in all honesty, making headcanons about how your faves would react to X horrendous event can come off as extremely tone-deaf. I get you love your blorbos (I do too!), but actual people are suffering and it can come off as disingenuous to a lot of folks when you try to talk about your characters instead of the very real harm that is going on. HOWEVER, the other account posted in the leverage tag that the crew would be zionists and started that discourse and since it was already out there in our space I wanted to make sure that people know that this blog does not support that whatsoever.
and before this gets misconstrued: antizionism is not antisemitism. I have a lot of love for my jewish friends and followers, but saying that we can't be critical of war crimes and incessant aggression because it is a jewish state is fucking ridiculous. we should be able to hold any and all governments accountable when they do bad things (this absolutely also means I think we should hold the US accountable for enabling them and I live here. every country that is complicit needs to face consequences). saying that israel is exempt from criticism because jewish people deserve a right to a homeland isn't a great take. I completely understand fear of antisemitism and discrimination, but at some point we have to think critically and acknowledge that people are dying by the thousands and standing up for that and calling out atrocities takes precedence. jewish voices for peace has some really good content about this topic
anyways there's a random blog out there posting about how your faves are zionists splattering their rancid sponge and I want to make sure my stance on this subject is very clear: fuck israel, free palestine, and no one is free until everyone is free

QSMP ; how much their eggs like you
includes ; tubbo & sunny, wilbur & tallulah, charlie & juanaflippa, quackity & tilin, jaiden & empanada and philza & chayanne
warnings ; language, mentions of parental neglect
genre ; fluff, little bit of angst if you squint
pronouns used ; they/them , partner
AN ; I'm not like super into qsmp yet, so bare with me, ik most of them have like multiple parents/caregivers but I picked the ones I know the most about and the qsmp wiki is currently my life saver. the eggs are so cute so I can't not wrkte a little something about them 💔💔💔💔 I apologize bc this is gonna be so ooc... also ik juanaflippa and tilin died but ignore that
masterlist
Tumblr media
TUBBO & SUNNY
Sunny is very iffy about you at first
"pa, who is that?"
"uhhh... that's y/n" Tubbo answers, "my partner"
she stares at both of you for a second like 🤨😒
they think their dislike of themselves of others is totally unfair and only relies on a select few people so trying to get used to you in a whole story in itself
tubbo, charlie, lenay, and polispol do their best to try and tell her "Hey they're cool, sunny, it's okay, they love you!!" but she won't budge
takes her a long while to accept you into the lil family but she ends up loving you
money is the way to their heart
if only anyone had told you sooner...
WILBUR & TALLULAH
tallulah instantly loves you
she's very quiet around you at first and hides behind will but quickly gets used to your presence
she's just a little anxious at first yk
"I love pa's new partner :3"
she loves playing the flute for you and talking about star wars with you it's the cutest thing
like you'll just be watching over her for Will or Phil and she's just so comfortable talking about her passions with you
Tallulah loves reassuring your builds and likes helping you as well, if you're unsure of how something looks, she's quick to reassure you that it looks good!
she gets you little gifts and shit it's the most adorable thing
her desire for validation mostly drives her kindness to you but she does actually appreciate you a lot
you seem to be there when no one else is and she frequently gives you 'I love you's and little flowers and stuff
she has abandonment issues so you make sure to always check behind yourself to make sure she's still following you
you refuse to leave her anywhere
always looks at you with a 😊 or 🤩 no explanation
she always refers to you as 'ma/pa' or a special nickname. like a syllable of your actual name or smthn, like something special for you two lol
you constantly tell and reassure each other that you're so awesome, great dynamic honestly
CHARLIE & JUANAFLIPPA
She's very quiet and reserved, but obedient
that automatic obediencey grew as a part of her and she just automatically accepted you into the family
although charlie and mariana were very negligent parents, she still trusted them and did as they said
you were the total opposite
it was what she wanted with you two, she has the freedom
you constantly argue w charlie over being a neglectful parent (character not irl)
she's very brave and courageous, and knows how to stay positive
you have personal beef w her parents bc they're such asses to her /hj
she loves guns.
she teaches you how to use guns as well
bonding time in the enclosure 🤞🤞🤞
she lived a short life but she's literally a part of you now
QUACKITY & TILIN
very sweet and caring but also chaotic and edgy
you showed her love and she CLUNG to you
"y/n is my favorite person, not you, pa"
they were always looking to give and receive love to/from everyone but quackity made it so hard for them
even after expressing being mad at quackity for not paying attention to them, they still loved him
shit broke your heart
he literally died bc of neglect from quackity bruh
constantly fighting w quackity over them being neglected :( (character not irl)
all they wanted was love man
you did your best to show her love and make memories with her since quackity clearly barely wanted to
quackity promised he'd be a better dad but uh...
towards the end of their life, they started getting depressed and stuff, you obviously noticed
you just laid on the floor with him, listening to all he had to say, just being there for him
anyways this is getting sad
they love you so much, tells you constantly that they love you and appreciate you
cutie patootie
JAIDEN & EMPANADA
em is very loving, instantly accepts you into the family, although a little cautious at first
you make her sweet foods all the time
absolutely loves you sm
always repays you with flowers or little treasures
"I got you flowers, ma/pa!"
she has a passion for baking with Niki, so sometimes you three (Niki and Em + you watching or burning the house down) have little baking days
jaiden just watching you guys be silly and do dumb shit like "I think I won with this one, guys"
you and jaiden spoiling the hell out of her LMAO
PHILZA & CHAYANNE
used to be more quiet but now talks a lot more
very energetic, your energies match perfectly
very responsible, looks over you if anything
he's always eager for adventure so you guys go explore often while phil and missa are busy
teaches you combat tricks and tips
literally a walking 'top 5 best combat tips and tricks' video I swear
he's very confident as well, likes to pvp with wooden swords with you
he always wins
you aren't even trying to let him win, he's just a god
I mean he's being raised by Phil and Missa so it makes sense LMAO
"I want pvp with y/n :("
"chayanne, they're not online, I'm sorry"

HELLO MY GORGEOUS EVOU DEAR <333
imma say this with no shame, i’ve never submitted a single request before 💀 yes, not a single one even tho i’ve been here for almost 2 years now -
so as you’ve submitted an amazing request for me before, i’m here to submit one ;)))
can we please get our beautiful doctor law, lost in the woods zoro and for the sake of august 6, our favourite rubber ball luffy with an S/O who looks absolutely perfect, but can’t seem to understand that she’s flawless and still gets self conscious all the time because she thought that people were staring at her and complementing her to make fun of her? like she thought that all those words were fake and people were being sarcastic.
i’m nowhere near flawless but i thought that a guy back in high school were making fun of me for all the compliments 💀 when we talked for the first time in a while a few weeks ago, i talked about that and he was offended af like ‘i literally told you i tho j you’re beautiful and cute everyday, how am i making fun of you you little-‘ 💀
so yeah, thought it’d be a fun little scenario <33
hope you’re doing good!! in case you haven’t heard it from someone today, ily <33
-leah
a/n - HI MY DEAREST LEAH 💜💜 AHHH TY FOR REQUESTING! I loved the request you did for me omg I still have it saved and I keep going back to it :)) ilysm and i love this idea 😭 and yes that guy from your high school is right, you’re literally amazing and gorgeous and I will make a point to tell you that (this is a threat)
Warnings ⚠️ - g/n reader, kinda crack (I’m sorry I can’t ever be serious)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- this guy has no shame and will tell you everyday that you look awesome
- “Oooo! That outfit looks badass y/n!”
- “WHOAA YOU LOOK LIKE SHANKS!” He had sparkles in his eyes, I mean- he just thought you looked so cool because you were wearing a super long coat! And colorful- pants.. (Just take it as a compliment I know it’s not a compliment but it is to Luffy) shanks has horrible fashion sense
- btw you changed out of your outfit that day 💀
- In public, you’re literally so perfect that even marines don’t want to capture you. They’re too dumbfounded that you’re so gorgeous, their brains literally explode, and they become dumb asf just looking at you
- but- you happened to think that they’re staring at you because they think you look weird or ugly
- So you cover up most of the time, all the staring has made you even more self conscious than before. Even when people compliment you, it seemed fake even though they were telling you the truth
- Luffy noticed you got uncomfortable with all the staring so he literally started growling and hissing at them (he’s feral) and acted as your little rubber guard dog
- “hey don’t look at y/n!”
- he didn’t know that they were looking at you because you were pretty, he thought they were admiring how strong and cool you looked
- so before that, he was all proud and showing you off in public
- “Isn’t y/n cool?! Yeah shishishi~ I know!”
- “Literally no one asked.” -random civilian
- luffy beat them up, no one talks smack about his gorgeous, beautiful, awesome y/n
- one day you got the courage to tell Luffy what you’d been feeling, and asked him if he really thought you were as cool and beautiful as he said you were
- “Huh?”
- man was confused. Like what? Are you joking right now? Because it’s not a very funny joke 💀
- “What do you mean?? I thought I told you yesterday that you looked as cool as shanks?”
- luffy that’s not a compliment when it comes to clothes
- “Yeah but- are you sure? I don’t think I look that cool.”
- he was so confused, how could you not think you looked cool??? His brain wasn’t working right, it just didn’t- make sense!
- “Y/n, you’re awesome! I don’t lie like Usopp! BELIEVE ME! YOU’RE AWESOME AND COOL!”
- he started shaking you around and wrapping his arms around you about 6 times, choking you and preventing you from breathing
- “OK- LET ME GO PLEASE I CANT BREATHE.”
- “NOT UNTIL YOU SAY YOU’RE COOL!”
- “OKOK I’M COOL!”
- “Shishi!! Ok!”
- it was a traumatic wake up call. Let’s just say that now you believe what Luffy says 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- he might not say it that often, but he thinks you’re a literal angel sent from heaven (has never said that to you because he’s a shy guy)
- but if you’re perceptive enough, you can catch him staring at you wherever, and whenever
- you could be tidying up the submarine, and he just can’t help but stare at you, his work can wait
- his eyes are blessed every time he sees you, I mean- how could you be so perfect? When you turn around to look at him, he’ll look back down at his work at the speed of light, trying to hide his red ears with his hat
- you swore you could’ve seen him staring, but whenever you ask, he just ignores you, “I don’t know what you’re talking about y/n. I’ve been working.”
- “you were staring at me.”
- “No I wasn’t.”
- “Yeah you were!”
- “Yeah because you look pretty in that shirt!”
- a silence echoed throughout the submarine, and both of your cheeks started to turn pink
- “You think I look pretty? Really??”
- man wanted to run away, but he didn’t want to make you feel bad, so he just awkwardly hid behind his hat in a cheap effort to make it seem like he wasn’t turning as red as a tomato
- “Yeah.. You’re pretty.”
- That right there is probably the biggest and most meaningful compliment you’ve ever received
- But still, even with a lot of other people saying you were pretty in public, it still felt like you just didn’t believe them
- all the staring actually made you even more self conscious, were their compliments just fake? They didn’t really mean their words?
- you weren’t THAT gorgeous right? (YES YOU ARE)
- “Law do you think I’m pretty?”
- He almost choked on his tea, he was literally shocked that you’d ask that dumb of a question. He looked mad at you, but then quickly wiped that expression off his face
- “Y/n. Bepo has made fun of me for WEEKS about how I keep staring at you. I don’t know how else to say it-? You’re pretty! Ok?”
- you’d never seen law so flustered before, his cheeks were literally bright red, his ears flushed the same color
- the great surgeon of death was at a loss of words because he couldn’t express in words just how beautiful and amazing you were. But law being as red as a tomato was kinda funny 😭
- “Law… You look like a tomato..”
- “Don’t make fun of me! And don’t tell the crew.”
- sorry law, but they were watching the whole time 💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- with the way zoro is, he’s kinda bad at giving compliments, and he’s better at insulting people (mostly sanji)
- but when he first met you, he almost dropped his beer. He was amazed at how perfect and gorgeous someone could look
- he questioned whether he had died or not because wtf you looked like an angel
- since he was drunk, he swore he could’ve seen wings and a halo on top of your head 😭
- little did he know, you’d be joining the crew, and he’d be able to spend all the time in the world with you :)
- Zoro truly did believe you were some angel, all throughout your time together, he was still confused whether or not he had died and gone straight to heaven
- “Zoro?? Hello? Are you sleeping with your eyes open?!”
- he hadn’t realized that he’d been staring at you for so long that he looked like he had just been sleeping with his eyes open 💀💀💀
- “Uh no? I’m awake.”
- “You’re staring through my soul.”
- “Huh? I can’t help it if you’re so pretty! It’s your fault!”
- “WHA-??”
- zoro then paused, he had just admitted outwardly and quite loudly that you’re pretty. And bro just blamed it on you 😭
- “Why is it my fault?! And- I’m pretty?”
- marimo didn’t answer because he was so embarrassed
- “DON’T START STARING AGAIN PLEASE.”
- “I’M NOT STARING.”
- “YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME!”
- “YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME!”
- this argument continued for a while before Nami told you two to shut the fuck up so she could get her beauty sleep :’)
- but still, did zoro really think you were that pretty?? A lot of people told you that, but it felt more meaningful coming from him
- so a little while after your argument, you went up to him and just blatantly asked him
- “Zoro, do you think I’m pretty?”
- “I literally told you that an hour ago.”
- “yeah I know but do you really think so?”
- “Y/n why tf would I say it if I didn’t mean it?”
- Welp. There’s your answer, but your question kinda made him pissed 💀
- “Zoro I was just asking!”
- “Why though?! You don’t make any sense!”
- yeah don’t start with him- he just doesn’t get it, but you managed to get him to say you’re pretty about 30 times in that same argument so 👍
Tumblr media
a/n - damn zoro 💀

Hello Brainrot! Just joined the arcana fandom recently and found out about your page a few weeks ago. ABSOLUTELY obsessed. The hcs are so well written and fun to read! So my silly shy self gathered the courage to make a request LOL
Could I get a mini hc of how the m6 would react if some random kid told them they will marry Mc when they grow up? Is a very cute scene I usually see on some series or fics, it would be very cute to see how they would react to it! :3
(Also lots of love and support for your recent loss, I hope you're doing ok! <3)
Is there a MOSQUITO anon yet >:)?
–🪰
The Arcana Mini-HCs: M6 when a kid says they'll marry MC
Julian: laughs in the moment because he wholeheartedly understands the sentiment. wakes you up at 2 AM that night because now he's wondering if there are other suitors he's kept you from considering and are you sure you haven't committed too fast?
Asra: gives the kid the sweetest smile and tells them that that's a great dream to hold onto, and that you would be an amazing person to marry. super flirtatious and adoring for the rest of the day because saying so reminded him all over again why he's so glad you chose him
Nadia: far less concerned with their affection for you than she is with this child's apparent disregard for age gap issues. accidentally breaks the kid's heart by telling them that marrying people old enough to be your parents is usually a bad idea and that they should stick to peers
Muriel: can't think of anything to say, so he just nods instead. the kid takes this as an invitation to keep talking - they'll marry you in the spring, and you'll give them as much candy as they want, and they'll have twenty kids. Muriel repeats this word-for-word to you later
Portia: gives a strained smile and tells them that you're a great option, but you're already promised to her, and that they'd have better luck looking for someone like you who is their own age. feels bad when the kid looks sad and gives them chocolate chip cookies
Lucio: this lights a competitive streak in him (oh no). what better way to display what an awesome person he is by bragging about the fact that you're already together with him? (don't, don't do it -) maybe if the kid tried being as cool as he is, they'd have a chance with you (no)

can u recommend some bands? i think i like ur music taste and i am terrible at finding music
ty :)
of COURSE I can <3 you’ve probably heard of some of these, but maybe there’ll be some you haven’t! I don’t know what you already like, so… here we go :)
Hozier. Yeah this was always going to be first on the list I’m currently listening to basically nothing else! He’s an Irish folk/soul/blues/etc idk musician who uses a lot of religious and mythological themes in his lyrics and has a lot of songs that include social justice commentary.
The Amazing Devil is a folk rock band with an incredibly unique sound. Their songs are incredibly emotional and have an awesome fantasy vibe going on—plus there’s two singers, and they often sing independently from each other, which is something you don’t see often!
Good Morning Bedlam is a bluegrass band that I’ve gotten into recently! They’re sort of like… a mix of the amazing devil and the crane wives?
The Crane Wives, while we’re at it, and
The Oh Hellos. they’re fairly similar and I don’t have a ton to say about their stylistic differences, but they’re all definitely worth checking out!
Florence & The Machine. Most people have heard of them but I always like to recommend them anyway
Alec Benjamin, if you’re into softer indie music! He has a lot of different styles of lyrics, but his voice is consistent, so he’s great to listen to if you’re looking for that sort of variety.
Chxrlotte doesn’t have a lot of music out, but I’m a big fan of the music she has released, including the ones about Good Omens! The others are more angsty which I love too.
The Family Crest is an orchestral indie pop rock band, which blows my mind. I can’t believe orchestra isn’t a more utilized tool in popular lyrical music, because they do it so well.
Good Kid is actually my brother’s favorite band, and I love them too. They’re also indie rock, but they have a very distinctive style and are easy to get into! Plus they haven’t released a shit ton of songs like some other artists, so it isn’t overwhelming to explore their discography.
Jonatha Brooke is an artist I only know about because my mom liked her music a lot in the 90s, but she’s got a super nice voice and has some awesomely relatable lyrics. I especially recommend her album Ten Cent Wings!
Midlake is a super melodic folk rock band. I’m obsessed with their album The Courage of Others, which has a melancholy vibe that’s super easy to get lost in.
Palaye Royale is harder rock than anyone else on the list so far, but they’ve got an awesome style. Unique voice and definitely darker themes in their lyrics.
Tears for Fears is a pop rock band that I love because my dad does. (My parents are musicians—I trust their music taste).
Toad the Wet Sprocket got their name from Monty Python, but PLEASE go listen to the Architect of the Ruin EP. You will not regret it. Also the song Something’s Always Wrong is like… entrenched in my very being.
Elbow is a band that I never see in fandom circles, but they’re definitely not obscure. Check out their album Little Fictions! They’re kind of like Midlake.
Will Wood ranges from chaotic and fun (The Normal Album) to absolutely soul-crushing (in case I make it)! Sometimes even both at the same time!
(I would’ve also put Paramore, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and other rock/pop punk bands I like on there, but I assumed you already know them.) (If you were looking for harder rock or metal, let me know, because this list is not that.)
If you want more genre-specific recs or even album/song recs, don’t hesitate to ask!! Music is the fuel of my soul.

my ambiverted ahh couldn't help myself huhu, so imagine:
the atsv babes with an ambiverted partner
miles probably would have thought you were introverted ngl, you two would have gotten close for your shared love of art, whether you create it or just admire it. he'd've thought you would appreciate it if he did the first move for you because you came off as a little reserved to him, but nah, when he got to know you more, he learned you had a more outgoing and sociable side to you--he was the extra push you needed to get out there. though occasionally, you would like some time alone; miles wholly respects that. he wouldn't force you to talk if you didn't want to, he loves talking to you and hearing you speak, even if you would sometimes prefer to be on your own or with others. i think miles' favorite thing to do with you would be to just draw together, or teach you how to draw if you didn't know how. he loves it when you're so focused on something, when you're in your element; you look so at peace, so happy with what you're doing that he wants to capture that moment forever, keep you happy forever.
"if you need to talk to me or ramble or for me to leave you be for alil while, i gotchu ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )"
"ty, i love you : ) also did you know (goes on rambling for hours on end while miles smiles at every message you send his way thinking how cute you are)"
gwen would've met you when you seemed extroverted. you'd probably have met when the mary janes had a gig near your area, and you in your extroverted bout somehow had the courage to tell her how awesome she was on the drums. you'd go on and on about how much she carried the performance, and you joked how you wished you could be everywhere all at once so you could watch her play. it warmed her heart, really. when she told you she doesn't do friends anymore, which was a lot for her to say honestly, poor girl, you'd've smiled at her and told her you'd wait for the day she's ready to make new friends, hoping you'll be one of her very first new friends you and miles would get along for that fr. now i don't think gwen would do very well with small talk, so you being an ambivert and knowing how that feels, you adjust to what she's comfortable with and talk to her about things she likes, too. she loves when you guys are just hanging out together, not really talking or doing anything, just being next to each other or in the same room, enjoying being in each other's presence; because, if anything, gwen loves the quiet when you're around--it gives her a break from all the chaos in her life and makes her remember there are people who care about her just as much as she cares about them.
"i know you said you don't do friends anymore... but i'm really glad you never hesitated to be mine the moment you were feeling like things can get better from here."
"that's because of you, my... ray of sunshine. was that too cheesy? sorry, i just, you really brighten up my life."
now pav would bare with both sides of you, honestly. he's bright, bubbly, and extroverted; but he knows when to back off and let you breathe for a bit. he'd encourage you to talk to others when you're feeling anxious, but he wouldn't force you to, of course. he'd do things for you when you feel like wanting to be on your own for a bit because he doesn't want to bother you. you'd've been his classmate at school, and at first, you found him... kinda quirky, but he was super cute, you couldn't deny it. you felt like he outshined you sometimes, so you kinda hid in your shell for the first few days of knowing him. but when pav noticed how quiet you were, he'd tell you not to be scared of him or anything, and you weren't! you were honestly just feeling a little worn out from talking to people for a bit, he did that mainly for you, and he always did it with your best interests in mind. but when it's just you two together, boy, you were both chaotic and bright. your extroverted side was kind of only really known to him, and he felt so freaking lucky to be that sole person who knew that other side of you. but he'd encourage you to get out there, too, and he'd help you every step of the way if you wanted him to.
"if you want to make new friends, go for it! i've already seen how amazing you are when it's just us two, everybody would love you as you are now and with that chaotic side of you."
"alright, just don't outshine me, pretty boy, i'm playing the chaotic one today."
hobie would actually be really fond of you, he likes having an explosive firecracker yet calm and unshakeable partner all at once. he doesn't believe in consistency, and if you didn't really have a consistent side to you wanting to talk to people or wanting to be on your own for a bit, hobie would be more intrigued with you. he loves that you have a heart for nearly everything, being with people, being alone--wanting to make friends, wanting to focus on yourself. he loves how thoughtful you can be, as well. you two would've probably met when hobie would be doing his rounds as spider man, and he caught you defacing a wall. he'd check it out, and instead of reprimanding you, he'd've complimented your work since it commented well on your stance on how society was so... chaotic. he liked you a whole lot after that, and his initial impression of you was someone who was kind of a lone wolf, someone who spoke up for their freedom without relying on other people--but lo and behold, you were someone who spoke up for their freedom, but loved making friends and going to parties, too, sometimes. he loved how nuanced you were, how every day, he finds something new about you. he really wants to make you feel comfortable around him, so every time, he asks if you're okay with whatever you two would plan to do, because he understands what it's like to be misunderstood. he just wants you to be free to be happy and to express yourself, never uncomfortable about being who you are, especially when you were with him.
"you're so inconsistent, so chaotic, so thoughtful, you're... you're a keeper."
"are you gonna be consistent and want to love just me, hobart? that's sweet of you, love."

I'm a bit curious was it ever confirmed that Shaun and Ian interacted with one another or met before the eventual breakup between Ian and MC. If not what are some of your headcanons on this matter would they have gotten along at all?
Actually, yes, it has been confirmed that Shaun and Ian knew each other before Ian and MC broke up in this comic posted over on the official Sunny Day Jack twitter!

Credit as always to Sauce for their awesome artwork and for giving us this hilarious glimpse into college age Ian and Shaun. Consider supporting them and the rest of the SnaccPop Studios team by joining the patreon for even more lore tidbits I can't even mention publicly. Just remember, don't share anything privately posted!
While a lot of teaser/development art should be taken with a grain of salt, if it appears on one of the official pages, it's a pretty safe bet that it's canon to the timeline of the game.
So this comic, also drawn by the awesome Sauce, while hilarious, may or may not be canon.
Tumblr media
I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that Ian did not pass Shaun's vibe check.
The first comic certainly makes it clear that Shaun didn't find Ian attractive considering the way he reacted. Maybe it's due to jealousy (I don't think Shaun wants to think about his crush having sex with someone else) or maybe it's because of Ian's bad taste in anime. Who can say?
Content Warnings: This post contains talk of cheating, jealousy, drinking in excess, (unintentional) self-harm, near death experience, SA, issues with sex, and toxic relationships.
I suspect that these two just didn't get along. Between Shaun suffering from jealousy due to his crush and the two of them having different tastes, they were probably only friendly to one another for MC's sake.
I would imagine that Shaun's opinion on Ian took an extreme nosedive when they found out Ian cheated on MC.
Man... can you imagine how much pain Shaun has been through? He had to watch his best friend/crush be happy with someone else... then get devastated by being cheated on. The worst part was if he had bad vibes from Ian from the start, but he ignored his gut feelings for MC's sake.
When it comes to my personal headcanons that I use for Sunshine in Hell... Shaun and Ian had friction since the first day Alice introduced the two of them.
It wasn't just Shaun being jealous of Ian either. Ian was jealous of Shaun too!
Ian has always suffered from a low sense of self-esteem. Shaun, by comparison, is much more well put together, more outgoing, and has this natural charisma that draws people to him. Shaun is just so likable that he gets a lot of attention and friends. For years, Ian was the exact opposite of that, which led to him being bullied and degraded often.
So one day Alice, his childhood friend and partner, is super excited to introduce Ian to her new friend. Shaun and Alice have a lot in common, and it was very visible in the early years of college when Alice was in the middle of her pastel goth phase. Shaun and Alice had a love for horror movies, cats, the goth aesthetic, and a whole bunch of other things. They clicked so quickly, and it scared Ian a little.
It didn't help that Alice had trouble making friends like Ian did. They had that in common, something that gave them a sort of understanding that no one else could intrude on. Now that they were in college they started making more friends, and that was a good thing, really! But Alice clicked with Shaun about as fast as she did with Ian.
In the 1st grade, one day Alice mustered up the courage to talk to Ian in order to cheer him up. After that they started talking every day and they were besties ever since. From there, they started dating. She's never really clicked with anyone else so fast like she did with Ian...
Until Shaun, that is.
Ian kept comparing himself to Shaun, unfavorably. He kept worrying about Alice falling for Shaun instead since, well, clearly Shaun had so much more than Ian had to offer. Why wouldn't she? What didn't help his insecurities was the fact that they had been a couple since high school, but they still hadn't had sex yet.
I integrated the comic into part of Alice and Ian's troubled sex life. The depicted instance was Ian's attempt at making things romantic so that they could finally go all the way.
It took them a while to start being sexually intimate due to their mutual lack of practical knowledge and Alice's SA trauma. She was very cuddly with Ian, not afraid to kiss him or go into a make out session, but she struggled to go further than that for a long time. It left Ian struggling with insecurities, fearing that he wasn't attractive to her despite her constantly reassuring him that wasn't the case.
Really, it was that insecurity and self-blame that pushed Alice to go further than she was ready for, to pretty painful results that she learned to just accept as part of the experience.
Alice is the type of person who can't be comfortable with people touching her unless she trusts them. However, when she gets close to someone, she can get pretty cuddly, even with her friends, giving them hugs often. So, for Ian, seeing his girlfriend get comfortable hugging another guy... someone he might have noticed looking at her a certain way...
Well, getting cockblocked on his rocky road to losing his virginity didn't help Ian see Shaun in a more favorable light.
Really, this was an incident that pushed Ian to be a bit more possessive of Alice. He was already struggling with the fact that his partner was sharing a dorm with someone else, but for Shaun to just casually walk into her bedroom like that without knocking? Ian certainly had permission to come in there without Alice knowing since he's her boyfriend, and he was planning to surprise her with a romantic evening, but how long had Shaun been just letting himself into her private space so casually?
Ian didn't believe that Alice was cheating on him, but what if Shaun decided to take advantage of her? What if this casual blurring of their living space led to feelings blooming?
What if Alice realized that Shaun was so much better than Ian in every way?
This led to Ian asking Alice to move into an apartment with him, even if it cost them money. He was able to feel more secure when they were living together, and he could be the one going into her bedroom at any hour of the day to be with her instead of someone else.
Shaun did try to befriend Ian, but it seemed like every time they hung out, something would rub him the wrong way. He did his best to be happy for Alice and Ian in their relationship, but it wasn't just Ian's shit taste in anime that struck Shaun as a red flag.
It didn't take Shaun long to notice a pattern in Ian and Alice's relationship. Ian would be down on himself, even cry and apologize for being inadequate, and Alice would reassure him. It seemed like every day, he saw this happen at least once. He tried reassuring Ian as well when he could, but after a while it gets tiring to try and lift someone up who keeps dragging himself down. Shaun would suggest Ian try therapy, and Ian would insist it wouldn't work, he was hopeless, and it wasn't worth wasting money on.
It was only when Alice showered Ian with love, and when their mutual friends bent backwards to cheer him up, that Ian would perk up again.
Shaun saw the red flags going up, how Ian was so needy for Alice and it was wearing on her. She went out of her way for Ian all the time, doing so much more because Ian "needed" her.
What made it worse was that Shaun saw how unbalanced their relationship was, how Alice gave Ian so much more than Ian gave back. Because Ian was so clingy, Alice had to often cancel meet ups with friends at the last minute, citing that he was having a bad day and needed her. Yet, on days when Alice was feeling like shit, she just kept powering through, pretending nothing was wrong. It took Shaun a lot of effort to pry her into leaning on him, and he'd even go out of his way to do stuff for her without her asking, like buying her lunch when she was so overworked she forgot to bring any.
Shaun worried for Alice because she was his friend, and she didn't deserve this sort of treatment. It was like she had become Ian's emotional crutch. Regardless of his attraction towards her, regardless if they could ever get together, he wanted her to be happy.
Shaun's opinion of Ian slowly deteriorated over time, but it turned into downright hate when Ian cheated on Alice, especially after she almost died because of it.
It was just a normal night when Shaun got a phone call from Ian. It was about Alice of course. It was the only reason Ian ever called Shaun - to check up on Alice. That night was different because Ian was in a panic. Alice wasn't picking up for him, which was unusual enough, but Ian was insistent that Shaun needed to check on her to make sure she was okay.
It was lucky that Shaun had the spare key to the apartment Alice and Ian shared. The sight of her lying unconscious in a pool of blood in the bathroom is a scar that'll forever be etched in his memory.
Shaun spent an entire night terrified, wondering what had happened. Did Alice try to kill herself? Why? She might have been missing Ian after he moved across the country, but she always reached out to Shaun and others when she wanted company. What happened that night? When he mentioned Alice's state to Ian, he just wailed that it was all his fault and Shaun couldn't reach Ian after that, as Ian was busy trying to book a flight back home to see her at the hospital.
Shaun had to be the one to call Alice's family too, but he had no answers to give them. The doctors would only let family or her legal partner see her for a while. It was only the next day that he learned that it was all because Ian had cheated on Alice, and she drank to dull the pain, only to hurt herself under the influence of alcohol poisoning.
Shaun could've kicked himself. He saw the problems in their relationship, but he didn't think it was his place to say anything. He worried his jealousy was coloring his perspective, seeing things too negatively. Now he wished he pushed harder like his gut told him, got Alice to see that the relationship was no good for her.
When Alice forgave Ian and tried to make it work, Shaun couldn't just sit back and let it happen.
So, yeah, Shaun's opinion of Ian in the present day is very negative. He views Ian as a toxic, manipulative, cheating scumbag who didn't deserve Alice. It was a relief when he managed to help Alice see that too so that she could finally end that toxic relationship. He was there for her so many nights when she cried over Ian and missed him. He saw the pain Ian put Alice through, and it just made his hatred of Ian grow.
Ian is grateful for Shaun being there to help Alice and even getting her to the hospital, but that doesn't get rid of his jealousy. Shaun and Alice are still talking even though she never picks up the phone for Ian anymore. He sees their exchanges online. They're still close. Shaun could one day sweep in and...
Ian can't let that happen. He can't let Shaun steal away the person who means so much to him. He can't let Alice just let him go like this. He just has to apologize to Alice, keep apologizing, and everything will be fine.
Sooooo... yeah, suffice to say, Ian and Shaun do not get along, and I doubt that they ever will... at least in my headcanons.

ROUND 1A, MATCH 1 OUT OF 16!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Includes the original 1950 animated film, the 2002 sequel Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, and the 2007 sequel Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Animated:
she is very iconic, she is super kind and has a beautiful dress
Submitting specifically because Cinderella III: A Twist in Time has lived rent-free in my head ever since I was a small child.
This Cinderella is most young (western) peoples introduction to this very story. Cinderella is so hopeful and by getting one small magical adventure, her whole life changes for the better. She is skilled and inspires such loyalty with her kindness that it’s hard to dislike her for any reason she gives. I’ve always been jealous of her ball hairdo too.
Walt Disney put all he had into this movie. And his favorite animation was the dress transformation scene. There’s a reason she is often front and center on the Princess group promotions.
she is the original. to me. probably the first exposure to cinderella for a solid chunk of people alive & on tumblr today. she is just a perfect encapsulation of everything that cinderella is, even if she's become warped in the public consciousness. also i'm pretty sure she's the reason why the glass slippers are so predominant in more recent retellings bc she is simply so iconic. 100/10 no notes 💜
She's maybe not the OG OG but she was one of the first animated Disney princesses and strangely enough it doesn't stop her from having an amazing personality. She's literally a slave but keeps being a nice person, forgiving and always doing her best. And the sequels absolutely didn't ruin her character. She's a sweet girl who tries to fit in but who's loyal to the person she is and who tries to change things always in a cute and sweet way to show people it's not that hard. She literally forgave Anastasia and tried to help her after all she did to her (the scene where the step-sisters destroy her dress still is terrifying to me)... she's awesome and deserves more recognition honestly...
(Mod's note: the following submitted specifically for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, but I condensed the animated movies into one entry.) No she is not the same as the original Cinderella of 1950. This girl’s biggest chance was unfairly snatched away from her. When the Prince was brainwashed she was enough to get him to double take. She was so Right that their connection over powered magic. And she had to be rescued from a ship. And was almost crushed within a pumpkin! And finally had to expose another imposter, who turned out to be just another victim of Lady Trameine. This Cinderella fought harder for her love because she knew what True Love was like and she still was able to forgive those who asked for it.
(Mod's note: the following submitted specifically for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, but I condensed the animated movies into one entry.) Listen yes it's the same Cinderella from 1950 but she has an arc in this one! It's Disney's greatest film!!
Live-Action Remake:
Of all the live action remakes of the past decade this one is my favorite. Somehow it keeps the essence of the 1950 story but makes it today relevant. Ella really does live her life by having courage and being kind. The mice and birds might not speak but she (and we) still understand. She didn’t want to go to the ball for any grand reason besides being able to see a friend. That blue dress was so beautiful! And the butterflies! Ella and Kit matched so well together the Princess, King, and Captain of the Guard all Knew. And that wedding dress!
Plus Ella forgave her stepfamily. That is something that take such great strength of character and kindness of heart.
Tbh I've never seen the movie but I was a young impressionable child (7 years old) when it came out and. There was an ad in a paper or something and I thought she was really pretty so I cut out and hung it on the wall. It stayed up for. Many years. This was likely the first sign that I was gay.

Tickle-Hungry ~ A Markiplier Ego Fanfic
Here we have our next glorious anon prompt, this one pertaining to an interesting ship between the snazzy Bim Trimmer and courageous Silver Shepherd! Let's explore this cute union and DO THIS!
TAGGING: @bimlee-trimmer @bim-trimler and @silvlee-shepherd
Silver Shepherd, as usual, was being a complete and utter sweetheart, and Bim Trimmer was smitten. The charming gameshow host had taken a swan-dive into the whole “new year new me” vibe, and had begun this process by giving his studio a complete revamp in anticipation of a new panel show he was going to be filming. All the basic decorating had been done and everything he needed was on-site, but now it was a case of getting all the heavy apparatus and props in position… and the workforce he normally used had all come down with the flu! Naturally of course, Silver Shepherd was eager to jump to the rescue and be the hero of the hour, and for the past few days had been placing podiums, installing rows of seating, as well as positioning heavy cameras and light fixtures.
Bim was helping too of course… though mostly by bringing Silver drinks and snacks whilst he himself mostly watched the hero at work. Silver didn’t mind, and honestly was glad because the last thing he wanted was for Bim to pull a muscle! So he accepted the sustenance and chat happily, honestly loving having Bim’s constant company… and the occasional subtle flirting that came with it. Silver pretended not to notice, but he saw how Bim would glance over at him (or sometimes just straight up stare) whenever he stretched or flexed amidst his work. Silver found it very flattering, and as a result had slowed his pace a little, just to make the fun last.
‘Where do you want this camera going?’
‘Just over there please, we’ll use that one for the wide podium shots.’
‘Okey dokey!’
Silver went about moving it, his shirt raising as he did so, and Bim had to bite back a grin when he got the chance to catch yet another glimpse of Silver’s delectable midriff. Bim didn’t know what was coming over him, but something about spying Silver’s adorable tummy or waist made him feel–
‘So what’s it about?’
‘Huh?’
Bim blinked at Silver, realising Silver was stood in front of him, smiling curiously.
‘The new gameshow! Is it a quizzy one?’
Bim used all his willpower not to blush as a charming smile appeared on his face, and he laughed lightly.
‘O-Oh, hah, yeah yeah it is.’
‘How will it work?’
Silver asked, his eyes bright with curiosity which made Bim feel like his heart was going to melt. Bim subtly neatened his hair as his smile grew, subconsciously trying to look smart and charming as he replied.
‘Well um, the questions are in different categories. If you answer enough questions in one category you can get prizes related to it, and there are a list of themes people can pick from. For example if someone went with the theme of Italy and they answer three questions right, they’ll get a dinner for two at a 5 star Italian restaurant. Answer six questions right they’ll also get a six year supply of authentic gelato, and if they answer all ten questions correctly then they also get an all expenses paid 4-night holiday to Florence! Also all the questions are multiple choice, so it’s not super hard.’
Silver looked utterly awestruck, mainly because the prizes sounded so generous!
‘Woah, that sounds so cool!’
‘You really think so?’
Bim asked, and Silver nodded as his beaming smile grew.
‘Yeah! I mean… I think all your ideas are awesome.’
Silver’s words hit Bim like a freight train. Bim was used to compliments, he got them from colleagues and fans practically every day… but to hear words like these from Silver just got to him in a totally different way. Bim couldn’t hold back the warmth blooming on his face, and when Silver saw he’d made Bim blush he himself felt his own cheeks turn rosy. But of course that’s fine between really close friends! Silver figured it was totally normal that his tummy was full of flutters and that his fingers were twitching with the urge to play with Bim’s hair and stroke his face– oh boy. Silver blinked, getting his thoughts straight, and opened his mouth to ask what Bim wanted moving next.
But he didn’t have a chance to get his words out, because Bim too had been swirled about in his own head. All he could think about was how damn kind and sweet Silver was, how generous and selfless… but also how goddamn pretty he was. I mean he was a superhero for goodness sake! Not only that, but he was so strong, so soft looking… and that midriff was a whole treat all by itself. Bim couldn’t resist anymore… and so he pounced.
‘So shall I do one of the podiums next or–AHH!’
Silver’s words were cut off as he suddenly found himself pinned to the floor, eyes wide. As he locked eyes with Bim he spotted a twinkle… a very, very familiar twinkle. Silver had been tickled by Bim before, so he knew what his ler mood looked like… but for Bim this was even more than that. There was something feral in that twinkle, and for a moment Silver could have sworn he saw his eyes flash violet and his teeth momentarily gleam with sharpness.
‘B-Bim what the heck?!’
Silver giggled nervously as he squirmed, but Bim’s hold was strong as he kept him playfully pinned down. Slowly he leaned in and whispered in the hero’s ear.
‘Do you have any idea… how tempting you are?’
Silver’s pink cheeks suddenly darkened to a distinct red as he stuttered.
‘T-Tempting? H-How?’
Bim chuckled fondly down at him, and gently lifted up Silver’s t-shirt to reveal his stomach and waist. With a few fingertips he started tracing the bare skin, and he purred in a low voice.
‘Soft, sensitive… tasty looking…’
Silver’s eyes went wide as he realised what Bim was getting at, and the traces already got his giggles started. Bim’s way of tickling was legendary in the manor…in the most wild and chill-inducing way. Bim slowly licked his lips, grinning and revealing his teeth as his face hovered closer and closer to Silver’s stomach.
‘N-Nonono Bim Bim w-wait yoou know I c-can’t take it when you–EEEEP!’
Bim pressed his open mouth against Silver’s stomach…and started nibbling. In an instant Silver was struggling wildly as he giggled and snorted, his blush creeping down his neck and he started babbling.
‘Nohohoho stahahahappit! Yohohour teheeth ahare shahaharp!’
‘Mhmm, all the better to tickle you with!’
‘Nuhuhuhuhu!’
Silver giggled even harder as Bim nibbled all over his soft, plush stomach. He wasn’t leaving any marks to speak of, but those canines in particular was just impossible for Silver to ignore. Plus with Bim holding his hands down, their fingers interlaced together in a totally normal friend way, there was nothing he could do to fight back!
‘Mmm, has anyone ever told you that you taste as good as you look?’
Silver was flustered into near speechlessness as he gazed up at Bim, gaping and stuttering.
‘Wha–…I…’
Bim laugh, giving Silver’s lower belly a nip as he growled warmly.
‘Aww, did I embarrass you?’
Silver resumed his wild giggles and little shrieks as Bim’s teeth continued their tickly feasting. The rest of the hero’s energy translated into him frantically kicking his legs as he replied.
‘Why ahahare yohou dohoing thihis toho mehehehe?!’
‘I already told you, because you’re just so tempting!’
Bim retorted, nipping at one of the hero’s hips to make Silver squeal and whine.
‘Buhuhuhut why?!’
Silver’s eyes were wide with cute confusion, and Bim hesitated as his own cheeks got hotter. He decided to hide his face by bowing it to nip Silver’s hip again – but even as the hero squealed… he caught the edge of Bim’s smile as it turned noticeably shy.
‘Maybe I… like you.’
Silver’s breath hitched and both men went still. Silver’s smile didn’t fade as the tickles paused and Bim gently released his hands, sitting up and clearing his throat softly as he glanced away from Silver. Bim’s heart and head were racing. Did he really just say that? Would Silver be happy because of what he said? Would Silver know exactly what he meant when he said that he liked him? Bim’s mind was threatening to run away with him, until he felt a squeeze on his hand.
‘You like me?’
Silver whispered, and when Bim looked at him he saw an expression full of a smile, a blush… and hope. Bim cleared his throat softly, gently resting his chin on Silver’s tummy as he nodded, looking at Silver tentatively. The Silver’s face was hot as his mind raced with his own thoughts. Was this really happening? Did Bim say what Silver thought he said? Did they both have the same feelings? Silver knew how he felt for Bim, that’s for sure… he’d felt things for Bim for such a long time, but a lack of confidence had always gotten in his way. Until now. Silver reached out and gently stroked Bim’s cheek, encouraging him to look at him.
‘Maybe… maybe I like you too.’
Bim’s face lit up, and he instinctively pressed his cheek against Silver’s hand. One look in his eyes told him that he and the hero were on the exact same page. Bim also saw that the smile on Silver’s face was vibrant, and a tad cheeky. Flirty. Bim grinned, and leaned down to nuzzle Silver’s already pink hip – he figured there was no harm in flirting back, just a little.
‘Oh really?’
Silver squeaked with surprise… but didn’t push Bim away as he continued to softly nuzzle along his waist. He hid his face in his hands as he giggled, nodding as he peeked at Bim through his fingers. If Silver had been looking for confirmation of their relationship, this was definitely it. Bim chuckled, showing of his pearly whites as he grinned broadly. This was the best day ever.
‘I think you like it when I nibble you, don’t you?’
Silver got butterflies in his stomach at the thought of admitting that of all things… and he also liked the thought of keeping up that subtle cheeky streak he had bubbling in his chest. He snorted softly as he mumbled.
‘Mahahahaybe…’
Bim smirked at that, raising a playful eyebrow. He could tell Silver was playing coy on purpose which he thought was adorable… and he knew exactly what the perfect response would be. Bim took a deep breath, and started blowing raspberries along Silver’s exposed waist as he chuckled.
‘Only maybe? Are you sure?’
Needless to say, Silver was an absolute giddy mess of shrieks and yelping-laughs as his eyes widened cutely.
‘WAHAHAIT WAITWAITWAIT BEHEHE NIHIHICE!’
‘I am being nice, I’m giving you one of your five a day!’
Bim continued his raspberries as Silver kicked and batted at him. Though he didn’t fight back with any genuine force, it didn’t take long for the one-sided tickles to transform into a full-blown tussle of pokes and half-hearted wrestling. Neither man could stop smiling.
‘Yohohou’re ahaha meheanie!’
‘You take that back!’
‘Nohoho!’
‘Oh you’re really gonna get it now!’
Silver’s giggles were bubbly and full of squeaks as they continued wrestling, and Bim’s giggles were similarly unstoppable. He leaned in close with a growl, and the hero shrieked and flails when he felt a sloppy raspberry against his ear.
‘AHHH NONONOHOHOHO!’
‘Ooohhh, I didn’t know your ears were so ticklish!’
‘LEHEHEAVE THEHEM AHALOHONE!’
Bim laughed, and playfully grazed the shell of his ear with his teeth.
‘Aww, so sensitive and delicious! I think these might be my new favourite snack!’
Silver was a mess of flustered laughter, but once again wasn’t truly trying to push Bim away. In fact, he was doing the opposite. His arms were wrapped around Bim’s waist, keeping him snug and as close as humanly possible, which was keeping Bim’s heart racing with delight. He treated both of Silver’s ears to a load of nibbles for a while, before he dimmed down to more soothing kisses, until finally leaning up and having mercy. Silver was panting as he giggled residually, and he beamed when he saw the shy smile return to Bim’s face.
‘Was that… okay?’
Silver giggled, and didn’t hesitate to nod.
‘Yeah… more than okay.’
Then, before he could let his nerves cloud his judgement, Silver leaned up and gave Bim a peck on the lips. Bim’s face lit up, his eyes flashing with those magical glints of violet once again… and he kissed Silver back. They were connected, warm and soothed for a few sweet moments before they briefly parted for air, and Silver whispered.
‘Do you still want me to move stuff–?’
‘Nope.’
‘Are you sure–?’
Bim cut him off with another kiss, making the hero giggle and melt – if he had to pick between moving light fixtures and kissing the most handsome gameshow host in existence, he was going to choose the latter every time. Especially when said gameshow host pulled him to his feet with a grin and a growl, holding his hand and pulling him out of the study and he mumbled about still being hungry. Silver figured his grin was probably permanent now, and his step had a skip to it as he interlaced his fingers with Bim. After all, he wasn’t the only one hungry for tickles – and that, darling readers, is the greatest prize of all.
WOOOO HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED THIS FIC LEMME KNOW IF YA DID! WOOO LUV YOUS!!

Hi dear bthump! I was thinking about this earlier today and was wondering your thoughts on it, even if it’s not directly griffguts related; what do you think of berserk’s stance on the concept of “ambition” or of the pursuit of one’s “dreams” ?
When I think of the way griffiths ambition is presented, it’s on face value an obvious condemnation of his over ambition- he chooses his “dream” over his comrades and friends, over the most important person in his life, guts, and becomes a literal monster/demon as a result.. and throughout the story, even though there are times guts himself (no less because of Griffith ofc) feels self conscious about being “unambitious” and just drifting in life, without strong goals etc. But when I think of the story as a whole with everything that’s happened in the eclipse and afterwards, I guess we’re meant to see guts as kind of the better, more grounded and humane alternative to a super focused, obsessive, dream chaser like Griffith, who ends up literally rejecting his humanity out of ambition? But then when I think of more recent neo Griffith chapters, that chapter where Griffith is talking about essentially revolutionizing the educational system in his utopia really stands out to me as an more obviously positive example/consequence of his “ambition”..
I wonder what you think about this? I think in another post you wrote about how, in many ways a lot of berserk is commenting on internalized homophobia/masculinity. Does this play into that?
As always love your posts and thanks for everything you do:) (also I’m really thrilled you liked my recommendation of human sadness!!)
Thank you, and thanks for the ask 💖
I think Berserk's take on dreams is a little nuanced, but falls on the negative side. As that one guy during the troll plotline says, "Dreams can make for courageous challenges but also opportune escapes."
Or much earlier you have Guts' Statement(TM): "The cost of ambition too great is self destruction." Which definitely feels like a narrative statement to me, not just reflective of Guts' character. Dreams are what motivate people to become apostles or godhands, dreams are what ruin everyone's lives in the Golden Age, and dreams are generally presented in opposition to genuine healthy relationships, requiring the sacrifice of one for the other.
But I do think Miura showed us the positive side of dreams too, in part to show why they're so seductive and the characters are obsessed with them, and in part just because it's realistic, probably. Griffith's dream of creating a utopian kingdom is genuinely pretty awesome and could do a lot of good in the world. But it was still bad for Griffith on an individual level, because his motivation was essentially a desire to escape from trauma, as neatly illustrated here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And ultimately in Berserk, that's what dreams tend to boil down to. They're ways of coping with trauma, and they're not particularly healthy ways. They're band-aid solutions to make someone feel better about themselves that don't solve the deep-seated issues causing pain in the first place.
I have a post here that gets into the story's portrayal of dreams a little more in depth, and probably answers your main question pretty well.
And yeah along with that I think you can take that internalized homophobia and/or toxic masculinity reading and apply it very easily - I mean Griffith's dream comes complete with a princess to marry and is placed in direct opposition to his relationship with Guts. Guts' dream is to be the best swordsman ever, so he can be the strongest and most powerful guy around and never be victimized again, and you can at least argue that that plays into some of his shitty arrogance in the latter half of the Golden Age, though it may not be intentional.
I think realistically dreams and ambition are neutral at worst and can be great and have great results and Berserk acknowledges this, but the story itself is much more interested in exploring the negatives, and I feel like that works very well with the story's themes.
Ultimately I do think we're meant to see Guts' initial attitude during the Golden Age, pre Promrose Hall speech, as the more correct one: live for your day to day life and the people you care about rather than for a distant goal. This is a sentiment I think we can see echoed a lot throughout the story, from Godo and co telling Guts to stay with the remaining Hawks rather than going monster hunting, to Troll Arc's old man talking about wanting to escape his hardships at home but ultimately finding greater fulfillment staying with his village, to Guts' realization that he should never have left the Hawks, etc.

how do you have the courage to do your own thing? Its awesome and I love it!!!
thank you!! its taken a long time for me to feel comfortable dressing and expressing myself how i do now, but overall it has a lot to do with your mindset and the people you surround yourself with. if all your friends are super judgmental, it’s gonna be hard to have the confidence to wear what you want. people who don’t care and will support you regardless will help you have the courage to do what you want. you also can’t worry about what random people think about it, in the end their opinions are irrelevant. just try to do your own thing and ignore what anyone else has to say about it, it’s made me a lot happier and more confident so i’d definitely recommend trying to do the same!! :)

I was wondering if maybe we could get the bachelor's (and bachelorettes' if you want) reactions to the reader coming out? GN pronouns are all good. Fluff would be preferred. :)
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I love your blog. :D
SDV: Bachelor Reactions To The Reader Coming Out HCs~!
Tumblr media
Post Type: Fluff, SFW, Ambiguous Relationship. Characters: Sam, Elliot, Harvey, Alex, Shane, and Sebastian. GN Reader (You/Yours)
Anon I am so sorry for the wait!!! I hope this reaches you :D - they're a little short, but I made them extra fluffy just for u <3. Tried to make them ambiguous too, so lots of people can relate! I'll be posting the bachelorette version too eventually! I've actually already started hehe
'SDV: Bachelorette Reactions To The Reader Coming Out HCs~!' is in progress :)
Guidelines | Masterlist | Previous | Next |
Tumblr media
Sam:
Sam is literally so excited for you! He's extremely happy that you felt safe enough to tell him, and is immediately asking if he can pull you in for a hug *gives u a comforting squeeze*
If there's any changes in the way he should refer to you, you can count on this guy to be on it immediately. Doesn't mess up, and corrects anyone who does if you're cool with it too
If it's more about telling him about your sexuality, you can bet that he's all about that too. Will absolutely be your wingman, or lack thereof - if you prefer :)
Supports you if you want help coming out to anyone else as well! Very reassuring that everything will be alright, and he's totally happy to stand with you or hold your hand when you go ahead and do it too <3
The type to probably send u wholesome but chaotic lgbtq+ memes all the time lol
Tumblr media
Elliot:
So proud of you. Truly. Elliot makes sure you've said everything you needed to say, before he lets you know just how happy he is to learn a little bit more about you <3. Elliot's love is unconditional, and he thinks you're lovely - no matter how you identify.
If your coming out is related to presentation: Elliot reiterates pronouns and referring terms with you immediately - he even makes an offer to trial names or pronouns with you if you're still unsure.
If it's about sexuality, he's super supportive, even recommending you literature with couples/individual characters that are just like you!
Asks if there's anything he can do to support you, and will do it, no matter what it is.
I reckon he's the type to gift cool shells he finds already, but now, he keeps an eye out for ones in your flag colours so he can make a little collection to give u :')
Tumblr media
Harvey:
Another one that's super proud of you. Coming out is terrifying sometimes , so he completely understands if it was difficult telling him. Will give you a head pat if you'll let him!
If it's related to how you present, he makes sure to ask if you'd like his medical records at the clinic updated. Offers to discreetly inform Maru too, if that's something you'd like - though he wouldn't do anything without your permission :)
And if its related to your sexuality, he's very sweet there too!
Reassuring :'). If there's anything you need from him in terms of support - now or later - just know that he'll listen to you.
Harvey's a trinket collector, so he would absolutely pick up little things for you that remind him of you or your flags colours and gift them to you <3
Tumblr media
Alex:
Honestly just thinks you're awesome - coming out takes a lot of courage - so he's happy he can be a good friend for you here. Gives you a high five!
Regardless of what you're coming out about - Alex is giving it the same supportive energy. Behind you all the way if you need help coming out to others, even if you just need someone to vent to - he's totally up for listening :)
If there's anything you're interested in concerning physique to look a certain way, Alex has a lot of experience with exercise and making workout plans - he can totally help you if you're interested!
Also there's no way in his friendship with Haley that he hasn't picked up on a few of her hobbies. This guy definitely offers to take you shopping - whether it be clothes, pride stuff, or even just a nice meal to celebrate! <3
Tumblr media
Shane:
Shane doesn't normally like to cause a fuss, but there's no way he'd ever hide how happy he is for you when it comes to something like this.
If it's related to presentation, Shane is more than happy to start referring to you a certain way, or even help you start to try things out. Would actually be pretty keen to help you experiment with style if you were interested.
Makes sure to reassure you that this changes nothing with your friendship - you're a lovely friend, and he cares about you a lot honestly.
Understands that you might be a bit nervous after sharing something so big, so he offers to go on a walk with you, or to his chicken shed to just chill and talk :)
Tumblr media
Sebastian:
Very supportive regardless of what you come out as. Probably would be so easy to come out to too - he's quiet, kind, and pretty receptive, so I could see him being able to ease your nerves very swiftly. Asks softly if you'd like a hug :)
If you come out about your presentation, Seb starts checking his language immediately - making sure to immediately practice any new names, terms, or pronouns you might have given him when he's alone in his room so that he never gets them wrong.
Offers to stand with you or help you come out to others - might even hold your hand if you ask! But goes above and beyond if you need help coming out to Sam or Abby - he knows them well after all, so he can be very reassuring.
If you happen to play Solarian Chronicles with him, Sebastian casually gifts you a set of themed dice (maybe in your flag colours, or even designed after your campaign character) <3
Tumblr media
A/N: This was actually,, pretty cathartic. There's a few people in my life that I still need to come out to, so writing this was nice tbh :)
Lemme know if you enjoyed this! Again, I should be writing a bachelorette version soon - i want to write more regularly, so hopefully that'll be soon! ALSO, I tried to make these as inclusive as possible, but if you'd like to see something more specific - feel free to send a request! I'd be happy to write it for you!

"I would do anything for you." Pairing : Yang Jeongin x F!Reader TW : general angst ; soft at the end though ; :') Word Count : 3.5k
“Do you think the moon gets lonely when the sun sets? Do you think it ever wants to share the same sky as the sun?” Questions like this weren’t meant to be answered, and even though he didn’t answer them at the time, simply laughing at how silly your mind was for thinking of a question like that, Jeongin would often go home after dropping you off on your porch, laying in bed and staring at his ceiling as he pondered the answer. 
“I don’t think so… It’s got a lot of stars next to it, and sometimes people even take spaceships to land on it… I don’t think it gets lonely… But it might miss the sun.” He’d answer the next time he saw you, and you’d always hum quietly, your head slowly nodding as thought hard about what he said. What you didn’t know was that he’d oftentimes use his answers to some of your sillier questions as a way to drop hints, but you never picked up on them, and he never had the courage to outright tell you how he really felt. 
You were so innocent, so pure at heart, and you had been that way since junior high. He could remember all the conversations you’d have during your friendship, he even kept a log of all of the questions you had asked him just so he could remember to answer each and every one of them. “Do you really think people are friends forever… Or do you think people just say that because at the time, they really think that’s how it’s gonna be?” 
He didn’t need any time at all to think over the answer to that question, the answer was as clear as the clouds that floated lightly across the bright blue sky, as crisp as the autumn breeze that whipped the fallen leaves around his and your feet. “I think that we’re going to be friends forever. I know we’re going to be friends forever. That’s how it’s going to be.” He stated factually, beaming his crescent eyed smile in your direction, but his heart felt heavier as his own words truly sank in. He loved being friends with you, he knew that he wanted to be in your life forever, he just wished that the two of you could be more, that he could really be yours and that you were really his. 
“Do you think I’d be a good singer… for like… a boy group?” He had asked you one day, watching as you absentmindedly plucked blades of grass from the ground and blew them from your fingertips. He thought that you hadn’t been listening, or maybe you just didn’t have a good answer that he wouldn’t like to hear, and maybe that’s why you weren’t saying anything. But then you turned to look at him, the sweetest smile on your face as you nodded your head enthusiastically. 
“I know that you’d be a great singer. Any boy group would be lucky to have you.” You giggled lightly, pulling up one of the dandelions that surrounded the picnic blanket that he had laid out for the two of you, tucking it in his hair and laughing lightly, the sound of it mingling beautifully with the spring breeze that rustled the freshly budded leaves. “I heard you talking about being a trainee… I think that’s awesome. I know you’ll do amazing. Just don’t forget about me when you get super big.” 
You were always so supportive of him and everything that he wanted to do, he already knew that you’d support him in this, so why did it make him want to cry hearing you say what you did? “Forget about you? Really? There wouldn’t be a day that passes that you didn’t cross my mind, don’t be silly. I’ll always think about you.” And the short burst of courage that had rushed through him in that moment to make him say those things had quickly vanished, his mouth snapping shut as his cheeks blushed a bright red. “Just… Don’t forget about me while I’m gone either…” 
It was silly how the words that were filled with him hinting to his true feelings had gone right over your head, you simply giggled, lightly pushing him over as you rolled your eyes. “How would I forget about you when I’d be cheering you on? You’re the one being silly.” You laid on your back beside him, one arm folded behind your head as your other hand pointed out the different clouds. “Do you think sometimes the clouds come together and make one because the two of them are scared to lose each other in the sky?” 
He wasn’t sure why he was so emotional, every little thing you said had him tearing up. Maybe it was just the fact that he knew that if he got accepted as a trainee that he wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with you… He’d be like one of the clouds that you were talking about… And instead of the two of you coming together as one so that he’d never have to lose you, he was starting his own journey down a path that wouldn’t have you in it… Not as much as he’d like you to be. “Maybe… But I think that if two clouds like each other enough… They’ll always find a way to come back to each other, no matter how big or endless the sky seems.” 
A soft hum came from your lips as your hand dropped down against your stomach, and out of the corner of his eye he could see you smiling to yourself. “I wish I was a cloud sometimes… I wouldn’t have to worry about anything… I’d just get to sit in the sky with my other cloud friends… And we’d get to float along all day long. It sounds nice, doesn’t it?” 
Time seemed to fly by with how busy he was, and you were busy as well. You didn’t get to see him often, and he rarely had the time to come visit you, but you did your best to try to keep up with each other through texts and phone calls, but even those soon came to come far and few in between once the two of you graduated and he got to focus more on his career as an idol and you focused on college and achieving your own career. 
You weren’t children anymore, the days of cloud gazing and late nights spent sitting up in your bedroom talking about your lives and your dreams were long gone. He was making friends in high places while you found a new friend group in college, both factors driving an invisible wedge further between the two of you and neither of you even realized that it was there. 
Before long, neither of you really talked to each other at all. You kept up on everything that he and his group were doing and you found joy in knowing that his life was going so well and he was surrounded by such great people that all seemed to love him. You truly were happy for him, and while you missed the friendship that you had with him, you also knew that the two of you couldn’t stay children forever and the memories that you made with him then were good enough for you, and you were still able to look back on them with a smile, and when you saw him come up on your television screen, you still were able to say that you knew him, you knew the real him, and he was and always will be one of the greatest friends you had ever had. 
The years continued to tick on, and you soon landed yourself a job as a preschool teacher, a job that occupied your time and filled many of your days with smiles and laughter. You had remembered a conversation that you had with him a while ago, that if he didn’t become a singer, that he would have loved to become a teacher. Some days it felt like you were following his secondary plans for him, making them come to life even though he wasn’t there to do it himself. Some days you wanted to call him, to ask him how things were going and talk about how life was now, but you always stopped yourself from doing it, knowing how busy he was and not wanting to interfere with his schedule or call him while he was doing something important. You knew the type of person he was, and he would drop everything he was doing to answer a call, no matter how unimportant it probably was. So you refrained from calling him, sticking to your thoughts, knowing that he’d be happy for you, that he’d be proud of you, just as you were for him. 
Life continued on for you and for him, and soon you had found someone to fill that space in your life that you didn’t even know you needed to be filled until they had come along. He had been wonderful, and in a way, he even reminded you of Jeongin, and while it wasn’t him… He was close enough, and he knew how to make you laugh, and he knew how to make your heart flutter and skip a beat whenever he said something sweet. Soon enough you found yourself engaged, planning a wedding in between planning curriculums for the kindergarten class you taught. Life was moving maybe a little too quickly, but you were excited, like you were turning to the next chapter in your life and you couldn’t wait to see where the story would take you. 
“Ah, mail came. Something for Innie.” Felix said, dropping the fancy little envelope down onto the couch beside him. “What is it? Open it, I wanna see it! The envelope is like… swirly gold. It looks cool!” He prodded when Jeongin didn’t even look down at the piece of mail, grabbing the envelope and shoving it into Jeongins hands. 
“You’re so nosy…” He mumbled, flipping the card over to read the name on the front, his heart losing its rhythm for a moment when he saw your name written neatly in the top corner for the return address. “My birthday isn’t anytime soon… And neither is Christmas…” He whispered to himself as he questioned why you’d send him something in such a fancy envelope, and he doesn’t usually receive any letters from you unless it was for one of those reasons. 
His hands were shaky as he tore it open, carefully pulling out the little slip of paper on the inside, reading it to himself. “What is it?” Felix asked, noticing the way the youngest member's smile fell instantly, a sharp breath escaping him as the little slip fell from between his fingers, his eyes blank as he stared forward. “Did something happen? What’s wrong?” He picked up the paper, reading it over for himself, but it only confused him more. “You’ve been invited to a wedding… What’s wrong with that?” 
Jeongin shook his head, getting up off the couch and snatching the paper from Felixs hand and walking off towards his bedroom, not another word said from him. There was nothing wrong with the wedding, nothing except the fact that it was yours, and it wasn’t you getting married to him. He knows that he’s been out of your life for a long time, and he knew that you had both grown up a lot since he had left, but he never thought that he’d be getting something like this in the mail. He never thought that you’d move on like this. 
The selfish part of him had hoped that you’d wait for him, or that you’d at least come to him, but you didn’t keep in contact. Although… The same could be said about him as well. He rarely had the time to reach out and he could only assume that the same went for you too. He didn’t know what you did, he didn’t know what you were up to, but the little piece of mail that had been delivered had given him the answers that he needed, although they weren’t the answers that he wanted. 
In his mind, in his dreams, he had always imagined a grand wedding for the two of you, one where he’d tear up at the sight of you walking down an aisle, your hand being placed into his to hold forever and always, but now that was going to happen for only you, with another man, and you thought that he’d want to see that? You thought that he’d want to witness the love of his life being handed off and sworn to another guy? Of course, you didn’t know how he felt, he had never had the courage to tell you, he had just hoped that one day you’d figure it out, but it was quite obvious that that day had never come. 
With shaky hands he dialed the number that had been printed in gold lettering at the bottom of the crisp white paper, holding his breath for as long as the line rang until it was picked up. “Hello?” The voice on the other end wasn’t yours, and while he hadn’t talked to you vocally for a while, he knew that you wouldn’t sound like that. It wasn’t your voice at all, and he could only suspect who it really was on the other end of the line. 
“Hey, I uh… I just got the wedding invitation in the mail… I was calling to uhm… Reserve my seat I guess.” Jeongin murmured, as awkward as ever as he waited for the man on the other end to answer, but there was only silence. “D-Do you need my name or something? I’m Yang Jeongin… Is that… Okay? Are there no more seats left?” 
The man on the line chuckled, although there was a hint of malevolence to it, it sent the hairs on Jeongins neck standing straight up. “I told her that it was foolish to send the invitation to you. You’re a busy man, I know that. We send birthday cards and stuff, and we get your cards, but when was the last time the two of you really saw each other? Your schedule is just so busy, I’m sure the wedding will conflict with it… We already crossed your name off the list.” He sounded so smug, and it had Jeongins blood boiling until he heard your voice in the background, a voice that still sounded so innocent, so full of life, and sweet and kind and you probably weren’t even aware of the kind of man that you were marrying. 
“Who’s that on the phone, honey?” You had called, your voice coming so crisply through Jeongins end of the phone, it rang out in his ear like a beautiful symphony of bells. And then came the response, and it sounded like whoever the man was had tried to move the phone away, covering up the microphone, but not well enough to not be heard. 
“It was Jeongin, I’m so sorry, baby… He said he couldn’t make it.” And Jeongins mouth fell open, the ultimate betrayal and he wasn’t even the one experiencing it and you didn’t even know that that’s what was going on. “You know how it is… with idols and their concerts and their meetings. They just don’t have time for stuff like this… Everyone who matters will be there though.” 
His fingers had wrapped around the blankets on his bed, his fists so tight that his knuckles turned a ghostly shade of white, each of his breaths coming out in heavy huffs of air before he ended the call and tossed his phone to the end of the bed. There was a reason why the man didn’t want him at the wedding, and while Jeongin couldn’t immediately jump to conclusions, he knew what his heart wanted the reason to be, and there was only one way to find out truly. 
The black suit felt too tight, mainly because he knew the reason he was wearing it wasn’t for an award show, but to be at your wedding anyway, to be the final surprise. He knew it wasn’t really a surprise though, at least not for the man that would be waiting for you at the end of the aisle, but he needed to see you, one last time at least. 
That’s why he was standing at the front doors of the venue, bullets of sweat dripping down his forehead although the winter chill in the air deemed it far too cold to blame the beads of perspiration on anything but his nerves. He could hear the chattering of people on the other side of the doors, soft whispers of your name and the name of the man that he couldn’t bother to remember. 
He was early, early enough that the event hadn’t really started yet, although the slow fading of the talk from inside let him know that it would soon begin. He could wait until you were already standing at the altar, he could make things dramatic and movie like, but he wasn’t like that. He didn’t want the attention that would come along with doing something like that, he just needed to talk to you, he needed to see you. 
So with a deep breath, he pulled open the door and walked in, keeping his head down, he didn’t even know where he was going. Then he heard the sound of footsteps in front of him, and when he lifted his head, you were standing there in all white, you looked like an angel, you were more beautiful than ever, and he always thought you were beautiful, but… Something about seeing you now… Tears pricked at his own eyes that he tried to blink away so they wouldn’t cloud the vision of you. 
“Innie?” You whispered, using the same nickname that you had given to him years before, and his heart fluttered at the sound of it, nodding his head quickly as he took a couple more steps towards you. “I… I thought you couldn’t come. He said that you couldn’t… I hope that he didn’t force you into coming here just for me… That wouldn’t be very nice…” He shook his head, amazed at just how truly innocent you still were. 
“I was going to come anyway… He lied but… That doesn’t matter.” He closed the space between the two of you, grabbing your hands and smiling awkwardly, his thumb brushing along your knuckles, hating the way it got stuck on the ridiculously large stone of your engagement. “I’d do anything for you. Anything. I should have told you back in highschool, I should have told you before I left, before I got this big… I love you… I always have, I was just too much of a coward to say it because I didn’t think you felt the same way.” He shook his head, his eyebrows furrowing, too scared to even look you in the eye right now, but hoping that you were listening. “But I never forgot the clouds… Do you remember the clouds?” He finally looked up though, watching a small tear dropped from your lower lashes, hazy and slightly black from the mascara that it washed away as you nodded your head. “I came back… I came back because I don’t just like you enough… I love you enough… And you’re my cloud, and I want us to be the best, most beautiful, fluffy cloud together… Just us two…” 
You sniffled softly, swallowing thickly as you stared at incredulously. “Where are we gonna go? I don’t… Jeongin this is crazy… What are you even saying? You want me to run away with you?” You scoffed, but his eyes widened as he nodded, holding your hands tighter as he pulled you closer to him, the tips of your shoes touching and your faces mere inches from each other. 
“We can go wherever you want… It’ll be our honeymoon. We’ll just run out of here and never look back, and we can go somewhere where we can watch the clouds all day and count the stars all night. I just want you beside me, forever, and I never want to lose you ever again. Run away with me… Stay with me…” You pulled your hand away, and his breath hitched in his throat only for a moment as he watched you tg the ring off your finger and pull the veil from your hair, laying them down on one of the chairs in the hallway before grabbing his hand again. 
“I kind of had a feeling this would happen… That’s why I didn’t wear heels.” You joked, pulling him in the opposite direction of the front door, the two of you pushing out the back exit as you both laughed loudly. 
“Did you really?” He teased back, pulling you to a stop in the middle of the packed parking lot, his hands moving to your waist as you both caught your breath, your excited smiles mirrored on each other's faces. “You’ve been waiting for me… I’m sorry I kept you waiting, but I’m here now… And I’m not leaving again, not without you.”

Hiii. This may seem weird, I'm not a follower, but I do peep at your blog. You seem like a fun and sweet person. I'm also a huge self-shipper and MK fan, but I'm super skittish and bad at interacting with people both online and offline, so I usually remain in the shadows admiring others from afar. Maybe one day I'll master the courage to befriend and chat more casually, but today is not that day. I really am an anxiously awkward turtle, I'm sorry, but I hope you have an awesome week!
Awww I really hope we can be friends in the future! It can be so scary trying to make friends but I promise I’m really laid back. I’m so excited you’re also a self shipper that’s awesome! I’m sending you all the love and hope you have a great week too! 🩷

How To Be Discovered
Tumblr media
Soon it will be Valentine’s Day, and the greatest gift you can give someone you love is the key to yourself.
Recently I wrote about how we hide the awkward truths that make us interesting, despite deep inside, yearning to be found. If that resonates with you, and you feel you've rather barricaded yourself in with shame and embarrassment, this post is going to suggest how you might begin to free yourself.
The starting point is saying aloud to yourself something you’d find very difficult to admit.
Since you're reading this, I'm guessing that something is an awkwardness related to spanking. Perhaps you yearn to be spanked. Not just you’d like to be spanked, but you have a deep almost visceral need to actually feel your bottom hot and stingy, just like it has countless times in your imagination.
Or maybe there’s someone special in your life that you dream of spanking. Someone you’d love to give the gift of a smacked bottom, someone with whom you’d just love to play kinky spanking games. It might even be admitting to someone close to you that spanking is an indelible part of your sexuality, as important, or more so, than penetrative sex.
Spend a moment thinking about it. Put your desire into a sentence.
Now write down this secret on a piece of paper. Be specific, so you can see it in words. No one else needs to see what you’ve written, and you can destroy it at any time, but first, it’s important to get your confession out of your head. What can seem so big and overwhelming in our heads can seem so much smaller and manageable on a page.
Once we expand our mental definition of sex beyond crude notions of nudity, fucking, and orgasms, we begin to realise something quite profound. That sex is actually the universal human need to feel desired, touched, and understood. Changing the language we use to think about sex helps change our perspective. We begin to see our sexual side as an entirely reasonable impetus, a necessary catalyst to enable us to get close to other people; not at all the shameful urge it’s too often depicted as.
We’re taught from an early age to experience emotions in moderation, told off for being too sad, angry, or exuberant. Hence intense feelings of shame or arousal make us think there’s something wrong with us. But how many things in your life invoke feelings of such intensity? Shouldn’t those that do be considered extra precious rather than weird? 
Whatever your secret desires are, the way forward starts with being kind to yourself. Reflect on why you feel guilty. Then be compassionate. Rather than berating yourself using negative notions like perversion and weirdness, reframe what you're into as kinda cool. Being kinky doesn’t make you weird, it just sets you apart from the mainstream, it actually makes you super interesting. 
Embrace the fact that you and me, and millions of others around the world love spanking! Isn’t that awesome? Welcome to The Tribe! We’re so delighted to have you here! Fist bump!
The breakthrough to being willing to be discovered is accepting there’s nothing wrong with our fantasies. Given what we seek is literally the approval and active consent of others, how could there ever be anything wrong with that? If whoever you tell isn’t into it, that’s perfectly fine, but they’ll still respect to you for being so courageous and candid, and for being so respectful in seeking their consent. No-one will be hurt by your thoughts, but you can cause yourself a lot of suffering by suppressing them.
So that’s the first step, to introspectively examine your own feelings of shame, and challenge them. To rationalise why you feel the need to be so defensive about your sexual beliefs. There’s no reason to feel guilty, because no crime was ever committed.
I think negative emotions, like shame and loneliness, are like runtime errors in the mind. There's something inside us that doesn’t feel right, that isn't congruent with who we are, or want to be. These emotions don’t exist to make us suffer, but to warn us. They’re meant to provide an impetus to take action, so we correct our course through life, just like a burning sensation demands we pull away from a fire.
Your challenge is to reframe your erotic desire from something you consider shameful, to something you consider makes you truly interesting. Note how no-one else’s opinion matters here. Just yours. No one else needs to be convinced. Just you.
“Spanking makes me interesting.”
Can you say that aloud, even in an empty room? Even as a whisper? Try it. Try saying it every day until you truly believe it.
For many, this is where they'll stop. We’ll make peace with ourselves, and resolve to be truer to ourselves. That’s progress, and quite acceptable, we all have the right to keep our own secrets that no one else needs to know. But if you want to be discovered, and play with others, you will have to be found.
What’s stopping you is likely to be fear. When surveys ask people what their biggest fear is, the top responses are typically claustrophobia, being attacked, spiders, and heights. But an even more profound fear lurks deep inside everyone, one that’s rarely mentioned: the fear that no one will love us. The fear of abandonment.
This is why revealing intimate details about ourselves makes us feel incredibly precarious. If we stay silent, we know the delicate status quo of our lives will be preserved. The same routines, and the same certainties. But if we reveal our secret, we fear everything might come crashing down. The future becomes unpredictable, even risky. So we hide away, hoping to preserve what love we have.
When our partner tells us they love us just the way we are, we interpret that as loving what we’ve revealed of ourselves so far. We fear disclosing any more might invalidate us, like a prospective house buyer looking beneath a carpet and being shocked by the sight of rotten beams, making them walk away in disgust.
But our desires aren’t a rot or a taint on our being. That’s why it’s so important to reframe them as interestingness. If we think our desires are wrong, whoever we confide in is likely to feel awkward about them too.  
Remember that those who love us, by definition, want to be kind to us. Often they show us far more compassion and sympathy than we might show ourselves. That's often why we're so hesitant to be vulnerable, because we know perfectly well just how mean we are to ourselves when we’re feeling uncertain. But you’re not announcing your most intimate desires to the whole world, just someone who already loves you.
We can be bold and tell them.
We can give them permission to discover us.
One of the strangest things about secrets is that once revealed, they lose their intimidating power. We might feel super embarrassed for a few hours, or days, or maybe even months, but that feeling will eventually fade, until it becomes just another event in our ongoing life story.
Our revelation may even open up new paths, and unlock new life opportunities. In the years to come we may look back and wonder why we ever wasted so much mental energy keeping it secret at all.
One last tip. If you do share a secret, rather than leaving it hanging in the air, awaiting your loved one's seal of approval, the very best follow-up is to immediately invite them to tell you a secret of their own in return.
Just say: "What have you always wanted to tell me?"
You’re giving them permission to be vulnerable. Promise them you won't judge them, just like they haven't judged you. Who knows how long they’ve agonised about opening up, worrying themselves sick that you’d reject them. Now you’ve broken the ice, there’s never going to be a better moment for them to open up too.
They don't need to even say it right now, promise them you'll listen without prejudice whenever they're comfortable to talk. Give them the same advice I’ve given you, gently help them in overcoming their own anxieties if you need to.
This is how we stop hiding.
This is how we allow ourselves to be discovered. 
This is how intimacy is built.
