i finished up answering the overdue questions for Aqil (and one for Knave)
@lairiend @gutterspeak @silversiren1101 @commander-lariel @dujour13 @desnas thank you for sending them!! and sorry i got distracted by clownery!! △ Hey Aqil, what’s an awkward fact about Kitsune puberty that most people wouldn’t know? "You probably are aware that we are natural shapeshifters. It's not a spell we have to consciously learn, it's simply an ability that is in our blood and we develop it quite young, alongside things like walking or speech. But that also means it can go a little unreliable when young kitsune are experiencing heightened emotions. You sometimes shift between your forms unexpectedly and involuntarily. For most it relates to some kind of anxiety but not always. I'll give my sisters as an example: Qurin was strongly affected by anger, while Khadija would shift multiple times when she was very excited. It's embarrassing, sure, but it wasn't that big of a deal for us since we are quite open about our family being a kitsune clan. However it must be extremely stressful for those of our kin who prefer to keep a low profile. Do I have any especially awkward memories myself? I guess I do. I was addressing our congregation as the new Meru for the first time. It was probably too soon, I was still a little off from the ritual and getting used to my oracle curse, but I was stubborn and insisted that I could do it. I barely stumbled through my little speech, got all dizzy, shifted three or four times. It was a mess. Afterwards I felt like I made a complete fool out of myself and that it was all over. I went to my father to formally declare that I deserve to be cast out and forgotten but he just put a hand on my shoulder, looked into my eyes and said: "Son, failure is not a matter of making mistakes, failure is letting mistakes you've made define you." So… yeah. It was terrible at the time but I survived just fine. I’m sorry, this probably went beyond the scope of your original question. Anyway, I hope this was a satisfying answer!" invasiveness rating: question itself not invasive, but his own folly of getting too personal was a little embarrassing △ Aqil, with Sosiel – kitsune form or not? "Let me start by saying I admire how much implied suggestive context you were able to express in just a few words. Always a pleasure to meet someone this efficient, I myself have a trouble of being quite verbose.  Another thing I find interesting is how you set this up as a big secret reveal. Yes or no! One word and we will finally know the truth. But let's put a pin in that and run a little thought experiment. No, I'm not trying to stall from time, indulge me. Let’s say you are of elven heritage but every other day you become more human in appearance. It's not a problem and you are at peace, this is simply who you are. But then you find out your beloved finds you attractive and wants to be with you physically only in one of those forms. How would that make you feel? Would you develop a distaste for a part of yourself? Or maybe you start to doubt your partner's feelings and wonder if they truly care for you. I'm not saying that everyone needs to find everything attractive but maybe some relationships would have a hard time surviving or they would devolve into something unhealthy over time. Sosiel has never given anything less than the sense of being loved completely and that is that." invasiveness rating: miffed because it’s literally just his body, but he expects people to be curious, especially in Mendev where kitsune are rare (but 100% thank you for sending it like this, i love thinking about shapeshifter stuff) △ Aqil! You read so many books and learn so many things. Do you keep any 'spicy' books on hand in your library? 'Just in case'? "Just in case? In case of what? I can't wait for the fateful day when my knowledge of "With sword and magic" plotline and 'techniques' will be the thing that saves the day.  I jest of course, I don't think I keep any books of this type on hand at the moment. I did read a fair share of them when I was studying in Absalom, if you ever find yourself there you can seek out Madame Magnolia's Library for Light-hearted Libertines. That's where most of my reading material came from.  Magnolia herself is a wonderful woman, always a delight to talk to and could endear anyone with how open and accepting she is. I once asked how her collection had started and she told me that she would say to her friends 'with every raunchy book I read I become more immune to bleaching' and to join in on the joke her friends would gift her all sorts of outlandish titles. At some point she had so many that it seemed like a waste to just keep them to herself so she started a little private library. After that her collection only grew when even strangers were willing to sell or give her more volumes to fill her shelves.  Recently I got my hands on a little fictionalised retelling of the Knight Commander's 'exploits' during the Fifth Crusade and after reading it through I knew I had to send it to Madame. I wrote a little personalised dedication, tied a pretty bow on it. I hope she gets a kick out of that and may her colours be ever vibrant." invasiveness rating: i guess depends on who would be asking this but in peers type of situation he would be okay. and i really enjoyed making up Magnolia for this question △Aqil, is there anything you wouldn't do to prove yourself to your clan? is there anything more important? "Well of course, if you leave the question this open I can easily imagine scenarios where my decisions and their expectations don't mesh completely. We are all individuals of strong convictions so obviously we clash on details. But our love is not a result of a rigid structure and enforced hierarchy, it's a decision we've made and try to maintain through care and understanding.  I don't have to prove myself to gain their respect and support because I already have it. I want to prove myself because I wish to strive for greatness just as our god teaches.  I guess you could also mean this as 'if the ancestor spirits tasked you with something could you possibly refuse' and then the answer is no. I belong to Nethys and by extension I have to follow the guiding hand of Meru. But then again guidance does not have the severity of commands and I still have plenty of freedom to make my own choices." invasiveness rating: i thought it would get him, i really did. but then i considered it some more and realised he would be prepared to answer something like that because he did think about it himself △ aqil, what are/were your parents/guardians like? "They are wonderful. And I don't say that just to maintain my image of 'everything for family' kinda guy. When I was a little kid I believed that all parents are probably like mine because they are close to old parental archetypes. The father who, while not open with his feelings in words, shows his care through actions and structure he provides and the mother who spoils her children with affection and teaches them how to find joy in life. Of course when I got to experience more of the world I quickly realised that families can run the gamut from good to bad and in-between. And my own in its typicality is far from typical. But what more can I tell you about them…  My father, Bashar Khay, is a very knowledgeable man, serious in demeanour, his very presence commands respect but his wit displays both cunning and sense of humour. He is a teacher of magic theory first and foremost even if he dabbled in other things. The two of us perceive spellcasting in different ways. Where I hear a melody and follow it to its logical conclusion, he sees rules and equations that need to be solved. But he never tried to convince me that my approach was wrong. We would simply compare and contrast and I think it made us both understand the arcane in new ways. Then my mother, Safiya Ineni, ever radiant and full of mirth. People sometimes would tell me that I take a lot after her and I consider that the highest compliment. This may surprise you but she is a bard. I mean she started her learning journey in the usual wizard fashion but when she discovered the joy of combining sounds and magic she knew this was the path for her. And to be fair she is not the usual flashy performer, she uses warm tones of her harp to calm and soothe. Her magic is not only beautiful but also helps those who are entangled in negative emotions and struggle with stress. While I don't have those talents myself, whenever I have a rough day, I play melodies she taught me and it does make me feel better. There is more I could say but I admit that talking about them is making me a little homesick." invasiveness rating: opposite of invasive, he will use any excuse to talk about his family △ for knave, what's your biggest regret?" Regrets, regrets, regrets, regrets, regrets, regrets are for mortals and other beings with enough hubris to think reason has more power than instinct. I follow my nature where it leads me. If given the same set of choices I could make different ones. Or not! But regrets… Does zephyr spite tempest for its destruction? Does tempest begrudge zephyr for its leniency? They are both made of the same force." invasiveness rating: mostly confusing, you could point at a specific thing and he’ll be like “oh yeah, kinda feel bad about that one. i guess?”, ten minutes later point at the same thing and he’ll be like “nah, that was totally fine, idk wdym”

cpn: zz says, keep warm ☕️
parallels made because of zz’s message alongside the xz studio photos released today, the weather is getting colder, pay attention to keep warm. i mean— are his hot af photos supposed to keep us warm? it sure did. lol. xzs knows what’s up!
Tumblr media
( wdym this is not work of art from a museum? )
now onto the clownery, again, for turtles who like cpn only. if you hate it then don’t click and read. yes. it’s that easy.
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
ZZ, and by extension XZS have always been caring towards his fans. His messages were never sweet to the point of giving way to boyfriend fantasy, but more of a friend who genuinely looks out for you. We’ve talked about how he really doesn’t need to share much and yet he still does. The effort they put in their vlogs as well as photos is much appreciated by fans too. The speculation here is of course bojunyixiao bias, but that doesn’t mean i’m ignoring the truth that these messages are also for his fans.
Anyway, in today’s photo set he did remind people to keep warm. You would think he will say this because it’s getting colder where he is but No. You’ve probably seen some photos of him even wearing shorts while in Chongqing. Also CQ have always been a much warmer city compared to others. If you compare the type of weather, Beijing is in the single digit and is experiencing more of the cold weather. So who are you specifically reminding? Someone in Beijing?
Tumblr media
and then you have WYB posting a douyin today. and yes we noticed he’s been active lately but in his video he is all bundled up. He is actually looking cozy in that hoodie. As if to say, “yes i am keeping warm gege.” I really love it when the 24-hour rule is in effect and it’s not on the same platforms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
moving on to other instances,
Tumblr media
..this year's spring is a bit cold, everyone pay attention to keep warm..
Around this time, WYB was MIA and shooting Born to Fly in Jiayuguan City ( Gansu ). He wasn’t allowed to leave and it was a locked in shooting because of the sensitivity of the movie’s topic and the involvement of military information. So they couldn’t really meet in person. Around this time in March, it’s so cold that it can get into negative numbers, so maybe another reminder to Yibo?
Tumblr media
.. reminder: sooner or later the temperature difference is large, please pay attention to keep warm ..
Yes, the campaign is all about dressing up for the cooler weather but XZS already addressed that in the first part of the caption ( talking about autumn ). but they just have to add that but about keeping warm. The date is 9/7 = 1997 ( Yibo’s birth year ) also 01:25, if you add the minutes all up then it’s 85 ( 8/5, Yibo’s birthday ). Turtles are saying that around this time, Bobo was filming Nameless and it was very cold. Remember they were doing night shoots up until the early morning so it seems like XZ specifically wanted this reminder to be added in.
This was later confirmed when one of the actors ( wang chuanjun ) did an interview and said it was very cold during the shooting.
Tumblr media
...The sunset is solid and pleasant, and you need to enjoy the scenery (..) cold protection..
Another reminder ( allegedly ) for his beloved, who was still working with the Nameless crew. from the interviews we’ve seen, it was a tough shoot and it’s sweet of GG to add this in.
Lastly — I’ve been seeing some talk that shooting of ZZ’s drama is temporarily stopped because of COVID related protocol. At least he is stuck at his hometown for this rather than some place else. I also advise against spreading “candy” about them meeting in between and implying they are breaking inter city health protocols. that’s a big deal for them and artists will get flack if there’s any news that they broke the rules when it comes to this. it’s not always about candy and be careful of people who seem like they are well meaning because of the “sweets” they are peddling but it’s really rotten inside.
It may seem irritating to some because i always give this reminder but i will never stop. Turtles are very prone to being taken advantage of and we should be smarter in what we consume. 🤍
-END.

I do also already love that the many preconceived notions a lot of people had that Daemon never loved Rhaenyra and only used her to gain more power were basically all proved to be clownery in their very first scene together. It was always hilarious to me that people were so sure that their union was purely political, no emotion involved whatsoever, when "Fire & Blood" is extremely explicitly presented as a biased account of history -- yet still many people were like "They never cared about eachother, they only cared about gaining more power 🤡"
I'm happy to be vindicated, but also it seemed so obvious to me that there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell that they would ever go in that direction just from a narrative perspective. They adjusted Alicent's age and strengthened her and Rhaeynra's relationship because stories are much better when the characters are emotionally entangled with one another -- and similarly with Daemon and Rhaenyra, it would just be bland and boring to see them paired up if they are just apathetic towards eachother rather than very emotionally invested.
Anyways, sorry for the essay but I have no one to talk to about these things haha. Long story short, I am fired up for what is to come and look forward to cackling gleefully as events unfold 🔥🔥🔥
no licherally u are saying it all!!! the way people are genuinely bothered that he actually loved her 😭✋️like they didn't see each other every minute they could when they lived on dragonstone and driftmark respectively like they weren't married happily for over 10 years like he didn't crown her himself like he didn't avenge the death of her sons like he didn't give his life to defend her right to the throne 😭✋️
exactly like daemon can't just be doing insane cuntery balls to the walls scorched earth shit 24/7 there needs to be some emotional grounding element (got could get away with a character like joffrey or ramsay who were all cunt all the time not one redeeming feature anywhere in sight because they had a sprawling cast and they weren't the main characters but daemon is and hotd is much more focused so that wouldn't fly here) so his redeeming feature: his genuine real love for her 😚 that being said all of that was entirely unnecessary to type out because people who have eyes and saw matt smith acting know all of that already!

New-ish turtle here and just read about the actor Lan QiRen’s post. I think my motto in this fandom is to trust what I see, otherwise my brain is fried trying to debunk 🍬🍬 like these, because I am very skeptical.
GG must have been so touched by DD traveling all those hours by car just to be with him, that he had to design this for 520. I’m an artist myself and can totally understand GG’s need to express his emotions through art and for all the world to see. AND using BJYX references, which makes it even sweeter because only those in the know and their 4M+ turtles will get it. Ahhh. I love them so much!
Thanks for your blog, as always! 💛
Hi newish turtle! 💛🐢💛
This is in reference to a previous post.
Fake, fan fiction, major clownery and CPN.
Yeah, there are a lot of good reasons to believe it might have been created by GG, not least being the personal nature of the image. It's hard to imagine HZT creating something like that just randomly and posting it online. Maybe if he was a complete stranger and a turtle, but for someone from their direct entertainment circle to make a post involving a covid test, etc. seems... potentially too personal and socially very awkward.
It's more likely to me that he heard one of them musing that it's getting harder to make those kinds of posts lately, and offered to post it for them. Or something along those lines.
Tumblr media
But the #1 thing that makes me think it was GG who created it and not some other person - any other person - was the fact that the mole part of the drawing was part green and part red, rather than completely red or completely green.
Most artists would have just gone with red because that's the color of the side of the drawing that the mole is on, or green to balance the drawing. But GG would not have wanted one of their colors to be separated out on its own, away from the rest of the heart. It's that kind of special personal touch that makes it seem like GG to me.
This is my CPN and I'm sticking to it. 😅 The second I saw that mole was half red and half green, I immediately thought, "GG drew this."
But of course it's possible HZT did it because, like us, he was touched by the story. We'll probably never know for sure.
Anyway, glad you're enjoying my blog! It's definitely a good time for turtles. We're being well fed these days!
Edit: more on this here.

After this post here
I got a lot of (interesting, insightful and lovely, thank you so much peeps <3) responses, I really need to make this post and get my general opinion about fanservice off my chest :D
First of all two disclaimers:
1. I learned that the perception of fanservice is deeply personal and everyone sees it in a different light and I totally get that, so please bear in mind that my opinions about it are solely based on the industrial/corporate interest-side of things. Because that is what irks me the most about this.
2. I have known about this for only a few months now so I probably still lack some knowledge so take it with a grain of salt :)
Lets goooo!
I totally get all the points that were made under my original post, but the thing is: nobody can tell me that fanservice isn't intentionally misleading. That the blurred line between reality and imagination isn't exactly the goal.
And by that I mean from the companies side, not the actors. It's an intentional, promotional strategy to use the levels of how comfortable people are with each other and that doesn't sit right with me. I never saw this form of promotion from any other genre before.
If we all knew it was fake, it wouldn't be as successful as it is. And just because it's successful, it doesn't mean it's great.
IMHO it should not need personal boundaries, the understanding and learning by fans that it's "all just performance" because there is no clear communication made by the production companies. They want us to misunderstand, to invest time and emotions in all of this and I just hate that.
Or maybe I'm not knowledgeable enough about the industry but is there an official "fanservice guideline" where the companies talk about how the whole process works? Or is it just rumours about how it goes?
I think it's already hard enough to learn to draw the line between reality and fiction with every other form of media we consume and I find pushing the limits like that incredibly invasive. And by invasive I mean for the actors mainly. If fanservice and branded pairs weren't a thing, we wouldn't have so many issues about fans not knowing boundaries and nobody can convince me otherwise. I see much, much more responsibility from the companies side.
I don't know probably I'm just too in my head about this, but I absolutely hate people getting exploited and doing stuff they don't want to do, there's already enough issues with consent and harassment in media production and I just hope all the actors are happy that's it.
ANYWAYS! If you enjoy it, if you like it, whatever your view on fanservice is, that is totally fine and okay! I just hate rich people profiting off of passionate, hardworking people just to get richer <3
With that being said 🤡

It’s A Curse If You Care Enough, CH 1 Snippet
The giant spider yokai breathes out a frustrated sound, twisting around to gaze at the four turtles at the end of her office. The squirming comes to a stop as the group realize she's gazing at them.
"Are you pleased with yourselves? All this hard work, ruined!" She waves a clawed hand angrily, gesturing at the broken glass container the Oozesquito's had been inside of. The fight in the office hadn't gone completely to plan. Leo could admit that. It almost makes him wish they had just left when he said they should.
Not like his brothers really listen to him anyway.
At the lack of response from the teenagers, Big Mama sighs, covering her face with one of her larger hands. "What else should I have expected from Rodeo Clowns?" She snaps her fingers pointing at the group. "Gather them. I want to make this night somewhat tolerable."
“How about, we make a deal?” Leonardo interjects quickly, just barely able to keep the frantic edge out of his voice. He needed to sell this. He needed to make this work. He didn't really know much about Big Mama, but she seemed the type to love a deal. She wanted to be in charge in control of a situation, but she seemed like she liked games.
Leonardo can feel his brothers glowing at him, gazes locked on his shell. He ignores it as he squirms forward in the web cocoon he’s in. “You like deals, right-?” He continues, managing a smile and wink at the yokai. He needs to make this work, so he has to ignore them.
The Spider Yokai pauses, observing the teenager with amused interest. Some of her irritation evaporated for the moment. There is no telling when that would come back. “I enjoy a good gimbly gamble every blue moon, turtly boo.” She taps the fingers of her smaller hand together, using the larger set to stall her workers from scooping the group up just yet.
“Well, take a gimbly gamble with me!” He says brightly back, wiggling closer. “I love a good challenge, Big Mama. Don’t you?”
“I do enjoy such on silly-willy occasion myself.” She agrees, her amusement still clear. She was intrigued, he could use this. “What are you thinking-?”
“Leo-“ Raph starts to warn, a frantic edge coloring his voice. He’s trying to scoot over, and likely lay on Leo to keep him from trying this.
“Nardo, do not do this.”
“Bro, please!”
“I’m thinking that you want those Oozesquitos, right?” Leo presses on, ignoring his brothers. He feels guilty for doing so, but the guilt doesn’t last. They didn’t believe him earlier. It's technically their fault all of them are in this mess right now. He’s going to get them out of this mess somehow. He’s the faceman, this is technically part of what he does. He talks big, so the rest of his family can do the heavy lifting. “I can do that for you. I have my portals, I’m fast, nimble, and quick. I’ll do it all, no complaints, no fuss, no running away if you let my brothers go.”
“And why shouldn’t I keep all of you and just make you my rodeo clowns?” She questioned, narrowing all of her eyes at him.
“Because, you know it’s a waste.” He manages to push himself into a seated position. Not the easiest thing to do given he’s cocooned in webbing. “The bottle broke, you lost all the work we did for you. And do you really trust your guys who are busy with so many other tasks to get that done?” He gestures best he can at one of her goons, a fox yokai glowering at him.
Leo drops his voice conspiratorially. “I mean, this guy, I’m pretty sure he’s so busy he hasn’t seen a brush in weeks!”
The fox yokai growls openly at the insult, only silenced as Big Mama holds a hand up again. “You certainly made some intriguing points little blue.” She hums back, “So, you would gather up Oozesquitos for Big Mama’s Battle Nexus?”
“I would. Only, if you let my brothers go. No recapturing later for clownery or any fighting. They’re off limits.” Leo wanted to be sure she didn’t try for a clear easy double cross. He wanted her to work for it if anything.
“Ohoho, trickery-wickery! You already know Big Mama.” The Spider Yokai laughs, brightening somewhat. She was clearly having more fun with this than Leonardo thought possible.
“Do we have a deal?”
“On additional thing.” The Yokai interjects, raising a finger and pointing it at Leo. “You give me your name.”
To read the rest, check it out on AO3!
Summary;
With the Oozesquito's escaping through the smashed windows of Big Mama's office, Leo knows what he needs to do.
He's the face man, he can make a deal and get them out of trouble. Sure, his brothers didn't believe him about the Big Mama thing earlier, but he can handle this. He'll have more things to rub in their faces after this. They will so owe him for this.
Little does Leo know, Big Mama never plays fair.
She's happy to agree to his deal, only for the addition of his name.
The price is much steeper than he or his family would come to realize until it is far too late.

LT Apartment AU
I'm just copy and pasting what I came up with on a whim in discord
@ghostarwarrior if you have ideas on this I love to chat with you <3
Neighbor AU (apartments) ��thro lives on the third floor, Glanni on the second floor below Íthro, Robbie on the first floor and Sport on the highest floor like six or something Ithro jumping around doing his exercises and Glanni gets annoyed by all the stomping sounds, he often blasts music, one time he threw like potatoes at the ceiling bc he couldn't find a broom, (idek why he has potatoes maybe he was going throw them at ducks or something when taking a break from bulling the kids at the park maybe) as he's doing that he prolly hurts his back or arm or hip whatever cause he's in bad shape and walks like an old man so his fault. A few potatoes definitely hit him on the way down
Anyways Robbie does maintenance stuff for the people in the building, the owners Milford and Bessie live on the first floor a door away from Robbie, so Robbie bumps into them all the time even when he's being sneaky, Bessie somehow always finds him and starts chatting about random gossip or sum, they often exchange dessert recipes
Íthro thinks Glanni's grumpy mood is amusing he finds him funny and finds himself hoping he'll bump into him when he leaves for the gym in the mornings. But Glanni is not a morning person at all, he is a mess, comes out the door in pink bunny slippers and black thin silky robe that's way too short (he sleeps in the nude probs)
Sport and Íthro go to the gym every single morning, on days Íthro is not awake/ready before him (which has been happening a lot more recently🤨wonder is Glanni has anything to do with that) he waits at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor. Robbie coming out his door tired and dead inside holding a big Garfield coffee mug (BC EVERYONE NEEDS A GARF MUG I SWEAR) and gets his breakfast delivery (he orders from some pastry place nearby, gets little cakes and stuff delivered to him most mornings) and Sport sees him tries to make conversation, Stephanie sometimes pops out on her way to school, happy that they're getting along and skips out the building with the other kids not far behind her. Also thanks to @coda-clownery for the idea of making Afrám Íthro the cryptid of the building
Here's a layout of each person's apartment, but I just realized that Sport should be ten, and I might move things around with the numbers, like the numbers aren't in order or something just so I can have Sport as 10 and also staying in the same spot maybe
Tumblr media
Also where Afrám Ithro is i feel like it'd be a sus ominous like empty/abandoned apartment that the kids are scared of
There's also another building next to it that's a bit smaller and worse, I just wanted Maggibæt to happen and include the mayhem town gang, i figured that the Mr kicker dude whatever could own the second building ig
I think it's a lil silly whack that the mayhem town gang and officer loli would live in the same building
Tumblr media
Also Im prolly gonna stick with Ithro and Sport are brothers and Glanni and Robbie are cousins
As modern AU jobs.. I'm not sure
I feel like Ithro could be some sort of personal trainer or something. Robbie probably invents stuff and gets good amount of money but also lives off of like inheritance money, I don't even know what to say about Glanni, Idk a stripper lmao, Sport.. I'm not sure still thinking
Last but not least I'm happy to answer questions or thoughts about this or any of my posts ig so come talk to me about my hyper fixations🤘

I won't key his car...just thinking about it.
And I have had 0 contact with the wife because, even though I used to babysit her and she asked me to my face if I liked him and I said no, she has a belief that I have a crush on him
Honey I could have had him if I wanted him
I try to avoid them but you know what? His extended family loves me. Like I see some of them pretty regularly because we work together (they actually helped him get his job where we work which like...you couldn't even get a job on your own shut uppppp)
I am waiting for him to get his...its hard af
Especially cause he's telling people I used to be close to how bad I am and then sharing MY trauma, like who tf does that if anything im not bad but a victim but somehow he words it in such a way....crazy absolutely crazy
Looking back i can see how he was a dick to me. Always calling me stupid and putting me down, I just never realized. It is INSANE.
I cant believe I was friends with him for so long
Anyways, im just doing my best to be me. Id the wife reaches out then I'd be willing to listen and help if she needs to get out, but otherwise I don't talk to her (which like I said I BABYSAT her i taught her so much and have these memories and this mfer goes and marries her like I know he knew her before me but I feel he really knows her because of me even tho he doesn't but if me and him were ever hanging out and she happened to be somewhere with her parents she would run up to me and it just grosses me tf out like you KNOW he knew her before 18) (also still tempted to share a throwback picture and be like "cant believe we were so young and now look at us" just to show people how fucked their relationship is cause people DONT KNOW SOMEONE I KNOW JUST FOUND OUT THEIR AGES AND DID A DOUBLETAKE LIKE YEA HE SEEMS IMMATURE AND HE IS BUT ALSO HES A CRAFTY SOB)
I'm just thriving. About to sign on my own home, making a lot of money, happy healthy flirty and single. I'm living!! He can be a jealous prick, im doing that shit!!
good for you!!! don’t stress yourself out over someone not worth your value and time. mo’nique said it best, when you do clownery the clown comes back to bite!
Tumblr media
one of my closest friends befriended this guy when we worked at macys and i waited silently 7 months before he exposed himself as a dumbass.
and we have a mutual friend who i’ve waited 8 years to reveal that she doesn’t make good decisions 😭😭 and yes she’s my friend but also she’s messy and too old to be doing these things 🫠
like im just looking around like yall ain’t notice anything???? nobody peeped that but me?

Omg I’m sorry, I thought this was probably a hard move. All the farewell posts and stuff were so emotional too but Kasper also seems very eager for his new club and excited for the new country but he really should invest in some sun protection the sun burn he had looked painful. 😳 I hope hes fine to play the next matches.
I think its so cute how so many of the danish players are at their clubs in pairs or more! Brentford lost Chris but immediately got a new danish player Mikkel Damsgaard, a winger with a cute face. 😊 And Jens Larsen, Stryger ( I get so confused with there names!) went to the turkish club of Andreas Cornelius and now they are total danish boyfriends there. 😍 Simon doesnt have any danish peers at Milan but I think he’s fine anyway, I saw him play in one of the test matches and he almost scored! He looks soo handsome since he shaved the viking beard off and now only has the stubble and the long blond hair I’m in love. 😍
I dont understand this stupid transfer period tho, it doesnt end until a few weeks into the new season and I wish theyd close the market sooner, theres still too much moving around for my taste not to mention all the stupid rumors. 😕 Apparently some English club whos clearly on drugs wants to buy Sandro, I think it was Arsenal, This is absolutely ridiculous and not happening ofcourse but just in case some shit like this ever went down I’ll be prepared, valid passport ready, police grade handcuffs and the biggest iron chain that Arsenal or any other club has ever seen, to capture Sandro and chain ourselves to their Milanello training facility. If any one wants to take him away from Milan its over my dead body! ⚔️ This is obviously a joke but I also mean it! :D And I know its for a reason but Paolo is literally renting out his child for money which would be absolutely terrible in any other context. 😆😆 Atleast he made a deal without a purchase option for Spezia or whatever there name is, because I like Dani so much and I want him back!
The MLS italians are fine, Insigne was injured for a while but should be back by now and Chiellini is just having a chill time I think. 😄 LAFC are doing well tho. Enjoy your weekend with all the matches (I hope they will all be enjoyable)! x
~S.A.
It was all the fans and social that had me SOBBING!! Leicester's account nearly ended me, I was sobbing for nearly an hour it was a mess. I get really emotional really easily I need to add 😂 He does!! He's so burnt bless him, my poor baby was so red 😭
My Danes scatter themselves all over the place and I get lost over where they end up most of the time 😅 And some of them betray me like Nissen going to Leeds... 😒 I'm so happy Simon shaved... I was so not into that fungi bush attached to his face. I still miss his little Prince Swoopy Hair (the same way I miss Kasper's too) but as long as that messy bush is gone I'm content. 😌
This whole transfer season has not been a sea of clownery it's also been stressful to the max. The twists and turns, the whole mess happening everywhere... I'm praying for September just so all of this can be over. I keep wondering what the clubs will look like by then 😶
Glad to know our old vampire is doing well, I like seeing Chiello happy 😌 Poor little Insigne though, I hope he recovers quickly! Good luck to the MLS clubs, I hope our Italians have a good season!! 🍀

haven’t seen the dippers in a while soooo, this ask is for all of them! what / who makes them smile & if they were to describe their s/o, how would they describe them? (if they don’t have one you can replace it with their best friend or anything else they treasure) thanksss!
[DIPPERS HAVE RESPONDED]
[ARLOW] ::
“Ah, I think wholeheartedly just Jae’s existence makes me smile.” he coughs scratching his cheek before regaining his composure.
“He’s like a bunny always overly curious about everything, easily lovable, but can easily be in danger if not looked after. You have to treat him with care and spoil when needed.”
Jae can be found @/tricksh0t
Tumblr media
[TARŌ] ::
“What makes me smile? Being surrounded by people that I know care about me just as much as I do for them. Knowing we got each other’s back through thick and thin… is something I wished I had in the past.” Tarō responds enthusiastically before perking up at the next question.
“Remi is someone that needs to be protected. Not because she isn’t strong, it’s because she’s too precious to lose. She’s an amazing and very caring person and the fact that someone had the audacity to take her kindness for granted and make her life miserable. I won’t forgive them for that. However, I’ll do whatever I can to restore her happiness by being there for her… forever and always.”
Remi can be found @/fav0ritefreaks

[JIAN] ::
“Baking. I know I’m probably going to be the odd one out, but there’s some sort of satisfaction creating something that you know everyone will enjoy. Plus, it’s in a way my coping mechanism for stress so in a way… baking can always bring a smile on my face.” Jian smiles bashfully before her face turns serious.
“First and foremost— Angie is beautiful. Let’s set the record straight and end the false rumors. Two. She’s cute but scary at the same time I don’t know how she does it. Three. A literal angel she’s so sweet and caring I can just melt here thinking about her…”
Angie can be found @/svnspirits
Tumblr media
[XINYI] ::
“I suppose making my friends and members laugh at my clownery, as Sookie likes to call it, puts a smile on my face. Being able to literally turn their frowns upside down and make them feel better makes me feel better.” Xinyi laughs.
“Liling is more than what meets the eye. Did I say that right? Anyways, she is lovable and did I mention adorable when she gets excited. Plus, she tolerates my jokes! A caring soul that no one and I mean no one deserves. Not even me!”

[RIM] ::
“Food. If I could I’d be doing one of those Mukbangs. Give me food and I’ll be sedated for the day.” Rim responds rather bluntly but there’s a smile on his face.
“Here we go with the love life questions again except with options. I guess, I treasure a peoples views about me. I’m not bothered by the verity of opinions of me because I know the people that really take the time to know me see the real me.”
Tumblr media
[SOOKIE] ::
“What makes me smile?” Sookie says before pausing to roll her eyes to laugh. “I guess when I see everyone having a good time/in a good mood. You can’t help but he like hey they are happy so I should be too.”
“The thing I treasure the most is sleep. It’s so hard to fall asleep easily especially nowadays with practice. I miss the days I get lucky and get at least eight hours of sleep.”
Tumblr media
[AERI] ::
“Affection! Whenever, I feel down the members always give me hugs, cuddles, and kisses to make me feel ten times better. It’s so comforting and reassuring that I’ll be okay.” Aeri says.
“Hm, Im actually not sure. I guess my group members. They helped me through the rough patches of my life and help me be a better person.”

“Sorry about the lack of updates anon TwT. I’ve been moving and I finally got settled. I’m trying to get into a new routine I guess lol and I’m a procrastinator… Anyways they’ll be slow updates but thanks for your support 🥺🥺

Okay, since the finale is tomorrow let me put my clown makeup one last time.
Marvel just released the finale's poster! And it's Marc's hospital restraints
Tumblr media
So, apparently we are getting more hospital time! Which is great, I have loved every single scene so far! Yay! But you know what would make the finale better and could be linked to these restraints?
Now comes the clownery.
So, in a previous post I mentioned how convenient it is that both Steven and Marc have left Jake in the coffin, instead of taking him with them. You know, when Marc left for the fields of reeds, Steven ended up a statue and therefore neither of them can actually go through Osiris' Gates and back to their body and life. Such a shame they left Jake in the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus in the boat, the sarcophagus in the boat that is next to the gates, right?? Now, I wonder why the writers may have decided to do that, I for one cannot think of one single reason, it's a mystery.
ANYWAY.
So, Jake in the boat, the boat that as far as we know all three alters see as a mental hospital. Jake, the alter that has been shown to be the one that tries to protect Marc and Steven by taking upon himself the need to use some real violence when they are in danger, the alter that, if he was indeed the one with the broken nose in the previous episode tends to get really menacing when he feels disturbed.
Now I wonder, Marc didn't seem violent at all in the hospital, so then, why the ankle restraint? Yeah, he might try to wander off, as we saw in the episode, but what if the reason why they keep the restrains on him in the first place is because of Jake?
So, after seeing the poster for tomorrow, I hope that my theory is correct and Jake is HEAVILY featured trying to revive and save the day.
Now, see me crying in my clown makeup when Marvel ends up leaving him as just a cameo or after-credits scene.
Tumblr media
Edit: btw, for those of y'all who love Jake as much as I do, I wrote a 2k word meta about him because at this point not even Khonshu could stop me! I'm actually quite proud of it, so here it is if you want to check it out!

𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬
Warnings: A tiny (Subin) bit of nsfw
YAY MY 1ST VICTON REQUEST
Also I went kinda overboard with Hanse, cuz I'm a biased bitch 😅
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐞𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐰𝐨𝐨
the sweetest bf ever, no kidding
honestly he'd do anything for you, anytime
like you wanna go on a date at midnight? you got it
he'd take care of you
lowkey forcing you eat your meals
and of course checking out if you eat your meals properly
he'd be the gentleman he is almost always whether he's tired or not
very affectionate
pda in front of other members? oh yEs
gives you random kisses 24/7
he'd be really quick to notice if there's something bothering you
he'd ask you about it and try his best to solve your problem
would listen to everything you're saying, nodding here and there
he's very serious when needed so if you were telling him something really serious/bad he'd be in the top 3 of the most understanding members in Victon
but he'd be also annoying like
challenging you in everything
he'd let you win tho, ngl
unless it was in bed😌
he's a strong man and fairly tall so no escaping
but even then he'd be such a gentleman
at first
later he wouldn't be that gentleman sorry not sorry
(later in the relationship/when you already did the deed etc)
he's a dom obviously
and very vocal if you ask me
i feel like he'd lOve to use his tongue anYwhere on you
would be rough most of the time but at the same time be careful not to hurt you
he'd love to pull your hair
and you better pull his too
also kinda kinky imo
he can go from 0 to 100 real quick, in bed as well
so you better watch out 😌
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐞𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐢𝐤
the sweetest bf ever no 2
he'd sing for you anytime you wanted
he'd be so happy if you compliment his singing
cooks for you
wouldn't let you cook so you'd have to plead him
he'd like nicknames you'd give him unless they are dumb 😂
my personal favorite for him is angel, cuz he sings like one and looks like one
he'd same as Seungwoo take care of you
like a true mom
eye smiles 24/7
unlike Seungwoo, he wouldn't show that much pda in front of the members cuz they'd tease him for that too
but would always stay close to you whenever you all hangout
he'd sing you before sleep and would get flustered if you actually didn't fall asleep and only listened to his singing
he'd like to have you close to him
especially when you sleep
WHICH REMINDS ME
😈
he's not as kinky as Seungwoo
but i think his biggest turn on would be your face while he's slamming himself inside of you
i can also lowkey see him liking to be slightly choked, but not too much
which reminds me
switch
i don't see him that vocal honestly
but would like you being vocal
yes he likes to keep you close during these times too sO he'd probably go too deep just to be close don't @ me
when you are done i see him switching to his momma self again and clean ya'll up
unless you want another round 😌
Tumblr media
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧
aka my side hoe
clown 1/3
he'd talk the shit outta you
annoying
but cute
too much pda in front of others
unless someone teases him about it
then he'd add even more
pda with some inappropriate touches, always a yes for him
he wouldn't even try to hide it tbh
pls touch his dimples
he'd crack jokes whenever you're sad, mad, stressed etc
so honestly there would be NO time for such negative emotions ✨
but he'd also tease you sometimes so you better prepare some comebacks
when you two are already dating he might get a bit possessive i feel like
but not the jealous possessive
more like he'd be lowkey worried you'd leave him or something
mention his brother and he'll gladly introduce you, but would be protective af
talking about his bro, if you want to tease him or want him to make love to you, just say his bro was your bias in madtown and he'll show you why he should be the only one you look at ;)
but he wouldn't really show it unless needed
great kisser
like have you seen those lips?
delicious
cuddles every day, anytime and anywhere
he looks cute and innocent, but we know he ain't
call him byunchan (pervert + Chan in korean)
we all know what I'm talking about 😉
you should probably watch what you're saying cuz he will make double meanings and pervert things from anything
unless you want that
in that case get ready for some fun
kinda kinky tbh
a switch
those hips 🥵
he'd be slightly on the rougher side tbh
if his hips do the same thing as when he's dancing then well rip you
bitting kink
would maybe like to choke you while he overstimulates you 💀
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐞𝐣𝐮𝐧
clown 2/3
another annoying one
would talk the shit out of you as well
every date is eating somewhere
him eating your food
eating competitions between you two
PDA!! Like he'd even show you off
compliments won't work on him cuz he knows he's all that
you'd like to scare him sometimes even with the help of his members
he'd cry
he'd let you borrow his hoodies
"it looks better on me tho"
he'd be happy if you jammed to his songs and sang his parts
wouldn't let you touch his dimples or kiss them for fREE
which means he has to have something in it to let you touch 'em
probably a kiss or something
such a tease
and a brat
he's a switch, nothing else
praising kink (recieving)
he'd be very confident in himself during these times too
would like his hair to be pulled
i can also see him liking mirror sex??
i mean seeing him fucking you from behind in the mirror sounds kinda hot if you ask me 🥵
also he is kinky too, but keeps his kinks a bit lowkey.. at first
would high-key love being tamed like a brat he is
oh and also i see him being vOcal, same like Seungwoo
not that rough, but deep thrusts making you lose it pretty soon ;) aka ego boost
Tumblr media
𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐞
my main hOe
clown 3/3
loud af
pda in front of members
always
but for him I feel like it'd also be some kind of flirting and inappropriate touches so someone, probably Sejun would "get a room" y'all
tattoos, pls touch them
or lick them-
honestly, biased or not he'd be one of the best bfs from this group
he seems like he could kill a bitch, but we know he's a soft boy
sometimes
he'd be all giggly around you during your 1st days/weeks of dating
but then..ooof
a real clownery tbh
he'd like to be taken care of, like cooking for him, checking up on him and so on
that would make him so so so happy and happy Hanse is what we want
always.
he'd love you two have matching accessories like earrings or chokers! (so he could choke you later)
everytime he smiles, you smile and then he smiles when you smile and-
okay but then he'd also be a pervert and sometimes you'd have to go 'eH?' when he talks shit to check if you heard correctly or not
you'll always hear correctly
ya'll would paint each other's nails
everytime he makes a new song, he'd ask you what do you think because your opinion is important to him
he'd be a lil happy puppy when you compliment his songs (either solos or group songs since he co-writes the lyrics)
I'd like to think he wouldn't wake you up anNoYinGly as he did to Seungsik, but- uhh he would
you might challenge him in freestyle, he'd let you win and compliment your skills even If you were nOt as good as him (i mean is that possible?)
but also would be highkey shook If you did very good, he'd even forget his lyrics so you'd win
then he'd whine
anyway...a switch (dom lean)
his usual flirty line or when he's in the mood would be "mind tasting my piercing?"
and If you're in the mood just say "Sure If I can Do you as well"
honestly use the "Do Hanse" joke anytime and he's yours, truly..
i feel like he'd say something like "I'll Do you now" while he enters you and fucks you senseless (like he will dO you while hAnse is in you-)
vocal in bed, but mostly like high grunts
chOking both recieving and giving as well as bitting and all of these kinks
also..his tongue..with a rap like that I can't imagine how good he'd be eating you out ;)
rough thrusts all the way
keeps going when he hears your moans
Tumblr media
𝐁𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧
big baby
back hugs or any kind of hugs
lowkey a brat too tbh
dimples show off™
he'd be actually vEry happy if you touched his dimples lmao
that would make him kInda cocky
would sing for you randomly and also teach you some dances
he'd actually enjoy dancing and/or singing together
a great cuddle buddy tbh
he'd be very clingy
to impress you he'd act manly and just hOt (see gif)
but would sometimes fail, because you'd start laughing 💀
borrowing his hoodies and shirts
but never giving them back-
if you're a lot shorter than him, he'd for example help you reach high places
if you're not that short well
he'd put things even higher so you'd ask for his help
kinda petty imo
anYway not really kinky, but on the more vocal side in bed
don't @ me but a sub
i think his most visible kink would be you doming him 💀 honestly
also some dirty talk (recieving) while you bounce on him
i can also see him mAybe being into some ice play tbh
just think about it😈
he's not rough, not vanilla either...perfect middle path
Tumblr media
𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐧
a baby™
cuddles! always, whether you like it or not
i think he'd be teased by his hyungs
and told to use a protection
he'd just nervously laugh like ugH yeah sure
he'd be jelly if his pets greeted you before him or payed more attention to you
he'd pout
he can be very shy sometimes, so it'd take him ages to ask you out
he'd probably be accompanied by Seungwoo if you guys met 💀
if you by any chance go drinking, you should probably stop him tbh
he'd also pout if you called him cute
"I'm not cute *pout*"
which is cute
he maybe wouldn't necessarily sing for you as he'd be shy and not very confident
but would LOVE if you sang for him, it would make him fall in love with you more... especially if it was either his song or a song he loves
he'd never interrupt you, just listen to your voice
he'd love if he brought food to him when he practices (other members would be jelly and steal his food so you better bring them too then)
sometimes he'd tell you some weird/dirty jokes without thinking about them first
his excuse would be "Hanse said-"
now all jokes aside, he is a babie but when you two are alone he'd have those dirty times
however he'd be shy to ask for what he wants, like he'd never or rarely ask for it
but you'd see it on him anyway
like he'd be unfocused and talk less
a sub(in)
you could have so much fun with him honestly 😈
tsundere (Seungwoo said it, not me🤷🏻‍♀️)
his hidden kinky
would love bitting, both recieving and giving
for some reason i also see him liking having a collar with a chain so you can pull him whenever and wherever you like?😌
he would be vanilla of course but not that rough either, however his secret dream is to go rough tbh
also he is young so he might want to try many kinks as long as both of you want that

Ooh. I saw your WIPs and now I am ✨ intrigued ✨.Oh by the way I love your art and it's so unique and chaotic. Like, we have these fanarts of Dazai and Chuuya all pretty and stuff, posing like models (I LOVE THAT TOO DON'T GET ME WRONG) and then there's yours. With all the skk scenarios I never knew I needed. I saw the Dazai Pokemon AU and just. Wow. I love this. You really do take what you think skk's domestic life would be like and art✨(my fav is fem skk being badass, oh is my inner lesbian showing? Ignore that!)
Anyway, I saw people ask about some of them and I'll admit "plate :(" got my attention lol. But I saw everybody wants to rule the world lyrics and changed my mind. What is it about?? Btw, the thief/detective au sounds promising.
;0; THANK YOU I'm really happy you like my goofy art!! I also love very pretty soukoku art, but yeah my own personal wheelhouse is definitely more ~shenanigans~, soukoku's dynamic is just so rife with opportunity for nonsense! Anyway, thank you for bearing witness to the clownery kfjskdfjdskskfdjsdk (also YES fem skk was so fun to do I'm glad you liked themmm I want to do more with them)
I hope you don't mind if I talk about both the 'everybody wants to rule the world' one and the thief/detective AU! They're very different in tone so I thought it would be fun lol
Welcome to your life, there's no turning back: this one is a canon divergent AU where Mori tells Chuuya about his plans for the Mimic incident before it happens, including everything about Oda and how he knows its going to affect Dazai. Why? Because I wanted to put Chuuya through a crisis for some reason—and also explore how it would change canon.
Thief/Detective AU: Dazai is a detective, Chuuya is a thief, and this one is getting very ridiculous because Dazai becomes enamored real fast. I have a lot of it plotted out, but I mostly just have the beginning written for now :0
Putting the excerpts under the cut cause otherwise this post is going to be horrendously long on people's dashes dksjfksdjf
"Welcome to your life, there's no turning back" excerpt:
The words reaching his ears were muffled and distant, like he was submerged in deep, deep water. “Why are you telling me this, boss?” Chuuya asked, and his own voice sounded equally distant. Emotionless.
“It seems only fair,” Mori’s voice said, with a note of amusement that cut through Chuuya’s mental fog like a knife. Amusement. “After all, Dazai-kun is your partner. I thought I should inform you that he may soon be a traitor.”
Somewhere, beneath all of his swirling thoughts and rising fury, Chuuya found he felt betrayed. Because Mori knew that this wasn’t his strong suit, knew that Chuuya had always struggled to make the merciless but necessary decisions to run an organization like the Port Mafia. That was why he followed Mori without question. He didn’t need to know these things, to know the darkest sacrifices that their progress was built upon.
And he didn’t understand why, after all these years of leading him, Mori would choose to impress this knowledge on him now. That Mori had done it just to warn him was unthinkable; the boss rarely, if ever, informed anyone of his plans.
Chuuya had his own strengths, but he wasn’t built for the mind games that the likes of Dazai and Mori took part in.
Which meant that his best bet was not to play at all.
“I don’t like it,” Chuuya said, bluntly, truthfully. “There must be a way to get the special ability permit without sacrificing our own men.”
Mori, bizarrely, relaxed at this, and his smile eased a little on his face as he continued to watch Chuuya. “I do find your straightforward approach refreshing on occasion, Chuuya-kun,” he said, and if Chuuya didn’t know any better, he could almost imagine Mori sounded friendly. “Yes, there are many methods that would not involve Dazai-kun or Oda Sakunosuke. However, I believe in making the most of given opportunities, and Dazai’s loyalty has been wavering. If he becomes more loyal to this friend of his than to the organization, he is of no use to me. So this is not just an opportunity to earn the special ability permit, you see. I plan to use it as a test, to determine where Dazai’s loyalties lie.”
Chuuya kept very still as this sunk in. So that’s what Mori’s play was. It wasn’t just a test for Dazai; he was using the situation to test Chuuya’s loyalty as well.
“I understand,” he said, and his voice came out steadier than he expected. “Do you wish me to take part in this affair?”
Mori blinked. It seemed that somehow, Chuuya had surprised him. Whichever part of his response had caught him off guard, Chuuya was too on edge to care.
“No,” Mori said at last, eyes narrowing. “All you have to do is wait. I trust you understand that Dazai cannot know anything about this conversation.”
Of course, Chuuya thought bitterly. That was the test. To know, and just let it happen. “Of course,” he said dispassionately, bowing with his hat still clutched to his chest. Clinging to the symbol of his loyalty to the Port Mafia like a lifeline. “When shall it begin?”
“Oh, about one month,” Mori said, glancing out of the vast window overlooking the city. “It all depends on when our friends from overseas arrive to set the plan in motion.”
That was vague. Fair enough. Logically, Chuuya didn’t need to know the details if he wasn’t directly involved in the plot.
You are involved now, his own voice whispered in his head, sharp and furious. Whatever happens, whether you act or not, the end result will be on your conscience.
“In the event that Dazai betrays us, I will be prepared,” Chuuya promised. Though, can you really call it a betrayal if we’re going to do this to him? “Was there anything else, boss?”
“No, that will be all,” Mori said, waving his hand in an elegant dismissal. “I hope you rest well on your day off, Chuuya-kun. You deserve it, after all your hard work.”
Bastard, Chuuya thought viciously. Mori knew perfectly well Chuuya wasn’t going to be relaxing, not with this hanging over his head like an ax waiting to fall.
Chuuya crushed down his instinct to lash out with some difficulty, and left the room with measured steps.
He was silent in the elevator ride down to the base floor, and he remained quiet and controlled on his ride home, letting the roar of his motorcycle beneath him fill the void swirling in his own mind. He couldn’t let himself think, not yet, so he kept a mental lid firmly clamped down on the wounded thing writhing in his chest.
It wasn’t until he was back in his apartment, door shut carefully behind him, that he let the lid loose.
All at once, the full weight of that conversation, the magnitude of what had been pushed onto his shoulders crashed down on him. The desperate numbness that had gripped him while facing Mori fled away, opening the floodgates to horrible, twisting emotions that threatened to engulf him.
“Fuck,” Chuuya snarled, and he slammed his fist into the wall of his entryway, wild and uncontrolled. It smashed straight through the drywall, and he stood there breathing heavily as the dust fell from the jagged hole around his glove.
"Thief/Detective AU" excerpt:
A file dropped onto Dazai’s face, startling him awake. He blinked, not bothering to move his arms from behind his head or take his feet off the desk, and let the case file slip down to his chest, the papers inside coming loose.
He must have been more tired from that last case than he thought, even boring as it was. It looked like he had slept through a good portion of the afternoon. The sinking sun shining in through his office window had turned golden, and the light transformed the small, rather dingy space into something glowing and beautiful.
Dazai squinted down at the name of the file on his chest. “The Sheep Thief?” he read off, and raised an eyebrow up at Kunikida, who was standing over him looking unimpressed.
“He always wears a mask fashioned like a ram’s head,” Kunikida said tersely. “You were complaining about being bored, weren’t you? So he’s your problem now. He’s managed to stump our regular operatives for months.”
Reluctantly, feeling the welcoming grasp of his nap slipping away with every moment, Dazai picked up the file and began to flip through it, leaning back in his chair until he was on the brink of tipping over. He heaved an exaggerated yawn at the contents. “Just thievery? Boring. He hasn’t even killed anyone?”
Kunikida’s nostrils flared, and he visibly reigned himself back from snapping. “Murder would not be preferable, you insufferable—look, just figure out how he’s committing these thefts, and work out a way to catch him. Ranpo is busy, or Fukuzawa would have assigned him to it instead. As much as I hate to admit it, you’re our next best detective when you’re actually doing your job.”
“Fine, fine, I’ll do it, never fear Kunikida-kun,” Dazai said, flapping his hand lazily as he continued to scan the documents. His eyes caught on one detail and narrowed. “My my, he’s been in Yokohama for five months? It’s taken an awful long time to prioritize this case, hasn’t it?”
“He isn’t seen as much of a threat, given that he’s never harmed anyone in his robberies,” Kunikida explained, relaxing a bit now that Dazai appeared to be focused on the case. “But he is becoming a nuisance, if nothing else. He keeps sending letters to his targets beforehand, and even with advance warning, no one has been able to stop him. He appears to be gifted—people say it looks like he can walk on air. He has also pinned people to the ground with an unseen force, and knocked holes in walls, among other unnatural feats. It’s been suggested he may be telekinetic.”
Dazai hummed. Whatever gift the thief had, it would be useless against him. Still, it added a layer of intrigue. “It looks like he’s been getting bolder with time,” he observed, tracking the details across the pages. “More and more expensive items?”
“Yes, he’s starting to inconvenience the rich and powerful of Yokohama,” Kunikida sighed, nose wrinkling in distaste. “So the Agency has been put under pressure to bring him in. As though justice can be bought.”
“I mean, in many ways it can, Kunikida-kun,” Dazai pointed out in his most irritating tone of false sympathy. “After all, you are prioritizing the case now, aren’t you?”
Kunikida turned away from the desk, stalking towards the door. “Even if that’s how it is,” he said, “it shouldn’t be. It goes against the ideals we should all strive for.”
“Yeah! Fight the system, Kunikida-kun!” Dazai called after him. “I’ll be cheering you on!”
Kunikida sent him a withering look and swept out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

is it just me who thinks that both versions of the darkling suck at manipulation? it's obvious that show Darkles was just not trying at all because he fell in love pretty much at first sight, but I don't think book Darkles was very good at it either? Alina never really becomes dependent on him at all, he very obviously did not set out to seduce her romantically (despite the retcon in R&R) and even seems to be avoiding her at points. Alina is never convinced at any point that he's into her beyond physically lol. I definitely do not believe book Darkles when he tried to say he wouldn't have collared her if she hadn't run away though - she was going to end up in it eventually no matter what. I think he did a good job of feeding her insecurity around her summoning but beyond that...I mean he couldn't even get her to be loyal to HIM let alone all the Grisha. What are your thoughts?
I don't know what was in the script, but Ben plays the Darkling like a lovesick puppy with TERRIBLE game because he hasn't been on a date in like 300 years ☠️
Like, the whole "darkles manipulated alina" narrative in the show is a fucking joke to me because all I see is fucking idiot who is genuinely like *shocked pikachu face* when Alina hates him for putting that collar on her like "whaaat? She doesn't like that I killed a magical deer for her and used it's antlers to gift her this awesome necklace that gives her a massive power boost??? Why is she yelling at me like that??"
Like, dude. Buy her dinner first 😂
The only time I feel like he actually manipulates her is when he implies they're going to destroy the Fold but then he's like "pfffft why would be destroy it when it's the greatest weapon we have" and she's like "YOU LIED!!" and then Ben has this truly hammy moment where he does this dramatic ass villain turn while his face is obscured by darkness but even then it's like "Yeah, she hates me now but she'll forgive me in t-minus 15 years and then the wedding is back on" 🤡
The story tries so hard to be like "he's pURe EviL!!1" and it's literally just darkles looking at Alina with literal TEARS in his eyes or even bothering to show so much genuine emotion when he doesn't even have to because Alina isn't even in the damn scene to witness it 😂
Like that time he was acting like a heartbroken 15 year old when he gets roasted by Kaz or stands on the other side of the door after Alina left and all you can do is point and laugh at this immortal dumbass like
Tumblr media
So maybe there was *an attempt* by Show!Darkling to manipulate Alina at the start but that pretty much went out the window when she first started yelling at him and he immediately decided to plan their immortal married life together like a hopeless dork:
Tumblr media
In conclusion: show!Darkling is a hopeless simp whose entire eViL pLaN got derailed because he caught feelings for an angry sunbeam 😌
As for book!Darkling, he at least didn't get his plan derailed until much later and unlike his show counterpart, actively HATED his crush on Alina? Like it was a massive fucking inconvenience to him and he'd be so embarrassed to see the absolute simping clownery that show!Darkling got into that he'd probably fake his death again.
But the other thing about the book is that book!Alina herself is so desperate for approval and a place to belong that she makes it very easy to manipulate and play on her emotions.
The reason book!Darkling comes across as more morally grey is because a lot of his actions always end up serving like two different purposes (one of them working in Alina's favour, and the other self-serving):
He deliberately keeps Mal's letters away from her to try and cut her connections to the past, but this actually ends up being a good thing because even Alina later admits that had he not sabotaged her communications with Mal, there's no way she would have learned to summon her power on her own (In the show, it comes across more like Darkles is low-key jealous that Alina has a strapping boyfriend and he probably cries himself to sleep reading their letters lmao)
He initially stands up to Alina getting railed on by Baghra when her summoning is weak because he doesn't really need her to be a good summoner if he can just strap a collar on her BUT this ends up helping Alina feel better about herself because he's like the only person who ever advocates for her or gently encourages her
He lies to her about destroying the Fold but his plan actually makes a lot more sense, especially looking at the complete clusterfuck Ravka became after the Fold got destroyed lmao 😂
You could argue his first kiss is pure calculation because he wanted Alina to be loyal to him with something other than duty or fear, but his second kiss at the Winter Fete was literally just him losing his cool and he even admits he doesn't want to give in to his "weak" puny mortal emotions, but this implies there is still some humanity left in him
Had Baghra not shown up to warn Alina, it's likely Alina would have worn the stag collar with 100% consent because she was looking forward to it, but she likely would not have consented to him using her powers to expand the Fold so when he says "that was never my intention" with regards to collaring Alina, I think he really means that it was never his intention to collar her without her consent but he decided he was gonna do it anyway once she ran off....however, I think he's being deliberately vague by leaving off the part where he planned on using her power to destroy a village lmao
So while I think book!Darkling definitely manipulates her because he's a man for whom the ends always justify the means, it still leaves me feeling kinda "meh" about the whole thing because had Alina been a more morally grey character herself, they could have literally just taken over the world???? the wasted potential 😭

Day 2: AU get me out of here - places to go when canon is complicated
It’s Day 2 for @roswellnewmexicocreate, time to celebrate those stories that I turn to when I can’t deal with canon, or when I don’t have the emotional energy to untangle all the emotions I have for what’s going on in canon. Alternative universes, the safe harbor for us. Below are a mix of rewrites of canon, remixes of canon, or out right not even set in Roswell- to fill every type distance you want from canon- from near to far.
and the howl of the desert carries me home by @christchex​/ @michaels-blackhat​ (4,334) Alex runs into the desert to escape from his father with his guitar clutched to his chest. He plans to spend one last night playing before his father destroys it. Instead, he meets a cute boy with flowers in his curly hair and a lizard on his shoulder. He exchanges a song for a smile.
why i like it: I love everything about this story. Michael is totally a disney princess, and what a lovely way to save him from foster homes, but have him run away to the desert and use his alien powers to build his own little protective world. Looping in Nora’s plant powers like that, giving Michael a little animal friend, I love it all, but the show stealer is Alex Manes, playing music to coax the mystery boy out. It’s just incredibly soft.
***
Heartbeat series by @adiwriting ​ (133,000 - in progress) During the lost decade, Alex gets Michael pregnant and Michael doesn't see or hear from him again for the next four and a half years. When Alex comes back to town, he discovers he has a daughter with Michael and they all have to figure out how to be a family.
why i like it: it has it all, installments with angst, installments with fluff, I can find whatever mood I am in by just pouring over this incredible series. I really don’t even like mpreg, but in RNM, with aliens it seems a little more probable to me and bless Britt, she goes light on the details but heavy on the kid aspect of it. I absolutely love Alex in this story, he’s richly characterized as a man who is trying hard while wandering unfamiliar territory like aliens, like being a dad, like being Michael’s boyfriend, and he doesn’t always get it right, but he’s loved regardless.
***
tonight we are young @skinsharpenedteeth (8,137) Alex and Michael ditch the Evans' New Years Eve party to find their own fun and Alex gets his New Years kiss...(the underage tag is because they're both 17 in this.)
why i like it: I’m a sucker for teen!Malex, especially stories that take place before the shed. I love this little AU where Alex is thinking about making a move, but hasn’t yet. They are both adorable nervous babies, this feels very much how a softer teen!Malex first time would go. Perfectly characterized here, you can just feel the hopeful vibes they have at 17. I like to believe nothing bad ever happens to them again.
***
you shift on a gear (it’s been a long year) by @backinmybodymp3 (28, 362) “Good morning,” Michael says. “What the hell did you do?” Alex asks, exasperated. (or: There were times, in some of the lower moments of the past however-many-days it’s been, where Michael had thought about what it might’ve been like to share this time loop with someone. He never imagined— well, he never imagined it’d be Alex.)
why i like it: I love time-loop stories! And this is just superb. The friendship dynamics of everyone involved, the Liz/Max wedding, Michael being a good brother, Michael trying so hard to keep this bullshit from dragging Alex in and then Alex being his usual reckless self when it comes to Michael, I absolutely dig this canon-divergent au. you can feel how much the author cares about everyone on the show in this story, and they really nail the Malex dynamic. This story came along just as season 3 did and it’s a true antidote to the malex drought on screen.
***
the library by @arielana (9,657)  Alex had stopped too far away to hear exactly what they were saying, but their voices did carry over to where he was standing. The guy’s drawl had a melody to it that was vaguely familiar, but much deeper than the voice it reminded Alex of. God, that and the hair really brought some memories back.  Just as Alex told himself to stop secretly staring like a creep and walk over there, he turned slightly so that Alex got a glimpse of the side of his face.  Fuck!  Fuck, fuck, fuck! Twelve years ago Alex left Roswell to join the Air Force, nursing a broken heart and promising to never return. When work brings him back to New Mexico he runs into someone he’d been sure he’d never see again.
why i like it: the first kiss in the UFO emporium was groundbreaking, but I have to admit, I love stories that explore the almost-happened, where Malex reconnect as adults without the shadow of Jesse’s attack. I love how sharp Alex is in this story, he has all these walls as an adult built from that first rejection, but then he’s so completely unprepared to reconnect with Michael again. The clownery in this story by both of them is perfect! I also totally love Forrest as a gay best friend for Alex, trying to wingman Alex, that cracked me up.
***
stellar light based life by @jocarthage (30,651) It’s not a memory if it’s something you see every day. It’s a trigger and it’s not one Alex wants to ever let go of.Alex saw Michael disappear into a blinding blue light, soft 17-year-old body pulled back into some kind of impossible vortex -- one hand, outstretched.
why i like it: another submission from 2020 RNM Big Bang, this story just wrecked me. I can’t even really put into words about how it hooked me and basically lives in my head now to the point I often mumble the first line to myself. Anyway, this AU takes a right turn at the shed attack, and goes full force scifi and tragic separation, I love it. In so many ways it reshapes Alex’s life but the core of who he is never changes, there’s so many great science geekery details about Michael’s planet and the astronaut journey that Alex takes, plus SANDERS... anyway, this is a fandom classic for me.
***
Crossed Wires by @beautifulcheat, @ladynox (15,351) Michael's been kicked off more than one Starfleet posting. So when he learned he was reassigned to the USS Roswell, he decided that he would keep his head down and behave. This decision is immediately thwarted when he meets her hot Vulcan captain.This might be the first time Michael got kicked off a posting for flirting with a captain.
why i like it: Star Trek AU? I’m pretty easy. Seeing elements of Kirk and Spock’s tragic backstory blended into genius mechanic Michael Guerin and ice prince Alex Manes was amazing. I love how it’s serving with his family that brings Michael to the Enterprise, his bond with Max and Isobel was chef’s kiss good. The blend of Michael’s powers and Alex’s biology - I loved the balance even if it came with its own misunderstandings, but hey, this time it was cultural! lol
***
I’m still here by @vague-shadows @pippsmcgee  (35,928) Treasure Planet AU in which Michael is the gifted young delinquent who found a treasure map, and Alex is a space pirate pawn in his Father's obsession with riches and legacy.
why i like it: I’ve never seen Treasure Planet, but I didn’t need to thoroughly enjoy this AU. This was the perfect mix of angst and sci-fi adventure, where the authors managed to make the shed even more horrifying. Jesse Manes is the absolute worst in this story, the levels of obsession he goes to find a treasure, and then Michael on his own collision course - the ability to write tense action is a gift, and it’s on display in this story. Cyborg!Alex took up a place in my heart and still lives there, where he only gets the nicest things.
If you like any of these recs, please leave a comment on the story or a kudo- a  ‘this was awesome’ is enough to propel an author into the stratosphere with happiness, so don’t worry about coming up with a unique, never before shared insight- sometimes a keyboard smash and emoji makes all  the difference!
