OK SO I FINISHED BG3 thoughts and stuff under the cut (spoilers obvs) . Pals and mutuals that played feel free to comment it with me, and also wyll enjoyers pls do interact fkfkdk

SPOILER about the ending

-Ok so i was playing a good tav dwarf paladin romancing wyll, got my team of wyll/lae'zel/karlach, but lae'zel felt like the real main character of this story and honestly its what she deserves.

-got orpheus and turned him into a mind flayer sorry bro. and then the emperor gets angry and fights with the baddies. like gosh this guy sucks

-saved the day yadda yadda and lae'zel went away to guide her kind and LOOK SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER i was so sad but i knew it was what she wanted but IT PAINS ME

-then gale leaves me to become a god, and then astarion gets attacked by the sun and runs away and im like wow this ending is such a downer everyone is leaving me

-AND THEN. KARLACH.......

-Ok so i cried like a baby like. i fucked up i dont know what i did wrogn i cant believe karlach is gonna die im SOBBING

-But wyll is like "WE CAN LIVE ALL FIGHTING DEMONS IN HELL" and got the coolest shit ever of these 3 going on adventures like you dont know HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS ENDING!!! im so happy aaah TOT

-then there is the epilogue and it's the cutest thing i can hug shadow heart and halsin and karlach :_) tried with astarion but i dont know if its impossible or i had him too low (every companion loves me but he finds me acceptable fgoihdgfjiodgio) anyways i wanted to hug all my friends

-gale is a god and like good for him but im like ??? damn we dont see his mission or anything he does this all off screen?? i wanted to see his struggles and stuff idk i wanted to see the FEELINGS

-anyways idk if i got a bug or something but when i get to talk with people about what i am doing is just me and karlach and 0 mention of wyll idk why TOT let me talk about my romantic companion pls

-also i had like 2 options to talk with romanced wyll and way more conver with astarion wich again i didnt even have very high on his love for me (i do love him and my chara frienenemy status tho) but why only 2 options for wyll i wanna talk with him moreeee at the end

-he did blow me a kiss it was the cutest thing tho

-Again idk if i got a bug but i never get anyone commenting on my relationship with wyll and i know the companions gossip about karlach and probs other charas >-<

-i heard a friend who had to kill karlach to get to see her gale ending so i tried in another save to see what happened (it was awful btw) and that was the only way to get an extra scene of wyll telling me to go for mizora and having other people aknowledge him in the epilogue (just with jaheira it lets me say wyll, with astarion and shadow heart they gave me answer like "oh im with my lover" and such instead of by name)

-i am a big fan of wyll but not so much of wyll missions, like they are fun to play but gosh i wanted the cool FEELINGS moments like lae'zel, shadow heart, astarion and karlach had, i feel he is straight up a classic hero tale and i want to see this man overwhelming with feelings of all the stuff he suffered. also more stuff with the dad idk i couldnt even tell him im with his son that could had been cool

-gale also feels like ???? he didnt have a proper mission and was like off screen wich is a bit weird to me ??

-my fav chara is wyll and then second lae'zel who is perfect 0 notes on her 100% increible. Then Do Not Make Me Choose for the other origin companions i cant. I love them so much. I didn't like astarion at first and i was like "really this is the man all my friends and everyone is obsessed about??" but then act 3 arrived and i was like Ah. I Get It Now. I would say my less fav is gale but because i didnt bring him anywhere so next game im def paying him more attention.

-anyways i could have some notes but in general i fucking loved this game so much TOT

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #karlach #lae'zel #wyll ravengard #now i wanna play the dark urge..... im gonna bring the charas i didnt bring that much before .........#baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate iii

Love your "bathroom scene" art. I like when villains unexpectedly show little moments of kindness/mercy. Would any of your various whumpers do such a thing? Are any of them just absolute meany pantses? They all have different flavors which I appreciate anyway bye

Johnny would, and has! He's a split 50/50 carewhumper, in which he'll whump the shit out of most people but he's so soft and gentle with Lanea. That's his ride or die bestie and he'll be damned if anything happens to her after everything they've been through.

The Stranger also would for Ashley, but she doesn't appreciate it as much lmao. At first she's confused by his obvious favoritism and later horrified when she learns it's because he's enamored with her, though her reactions/rejects do little to deter him as he continues.

Malik would do it, but it wouldn't be sincere, simply a manipulative act to make it seem like he cares for someone and create a false sense of security. He'd be soft purely for the pleasure of a whumpee's face when he just as easily turns on a dime and betrays them.

Dre and Nessa would never. Unabomber-wanna-be might for his favorite nurse, but like Malik, it's just for manipulation. A 'see, look how nice I am to you, you should do as I say to return the favor' type of move.

just gonna put my ideas in this list cause...i'm gay and forgetful but I also don't want to keep too many thoughts because it drives my brain to sleep for 8 hrs that isn't sleep during the night. anyways:

- Wednesday is the new vet in town, begrudgingly because it was her third degree (she's a child prodigy aight) and she liked animals (preferably dead tho) and Enid is your next door werewolf.

- Wednesday is kidnapped and uses the dog sound (from that scene with the choir) and Enid is feral and Wednesday is a blushing mess when she sees her wolf tear them to pieces.

- everytime they fight Wednesday brings up yoko and Enid teases her. after finding out, yoko is mysteriously in the infirmary. garlic bread, again. damn it, enid.

- coffee shop au. Enid is your bubbly barista and stands for women helping women so when an incredibly attractive maybe psychotic girl goes up the counter followed by a dull looking guy *coughs* she introduces you as her girlfriend cause why the fuck not?

*Understanding the situation - she knew reading fanfiction until 5 a.m. would come in handy someday - she put on her best frown and said, "I'd appreciate if you stayed away from my girlfriend," what was his name again? "dude."

- 5 times +1 except it's 5 times Wednesday crashes Enid's date after they break up and one time she doesn't (happy ending obviously).

- enid disappears during her birthday, yoko said it was a normal occurrence. Wednesday wants to know why.

- Wednesday gets a secret admirer except Enid accidentally send a threatening note instead of a love declaration (lol Wednesday would be so down for that tho).

- near death situation where enid vs Tyler rematch and Wednesday is scared shitless at the thought that Enid could be dead and so much angst and the build up with 'if you die, I will burn this realm and everyone in it as I live and suffer through the years crying out your name so the world will never forget you'

- enid and Wednesday fluff. that's it

- 50k-100k slow burn fic where Wednesday has an internal struggle on whether she is actually deserving of Enid despite being an Addams and Enid thinking her best friend/crush is in love with someone else.

- the au where Wednesday is a writer and Enid wanna buys her book for her friend (yoko) without knowing Wednesday is the writer and they're gay and they fall in love and Wednesday always starts her books with a word starting with e and ending it with a word starting to s and it's only when she proposes does enid know.

That's most of it, I'll add some when I can. Tho some have probably been done before but like I wanna make my own as well. Wenclair canon bitches.

#wenclair #enid sinclair #wednesday addams #murdergirlfriends #wenclair made me do it #emma myers #jenna ortega #they are meant to be #in every universe I'll find you #they're the top reason i believe in love still #wednesday netflix #their friend group is chaotic but supportive af tho

Titans: Season 4 - Ep11 - Thoughts

I have finally watched the episode. My God, my day at work was agonizing; I looked at tumblr and saw gifs and posts and was like screaming cos I wanted to watch it.

Anyway, since I've just freshly finished watching it, I am gonna note down some thoughts!

So... I feel weirdly mixed on this episode? As an episode it was good but as the penultimate episode? Idk... I feel kinda meh about it? I don't wanna come across as negative and the rest of this will mostly be stuff I enjoyed since I actually did enjoy the majority of it and as an episode in itself, it was good but idk... the fact the finale is all that's left, I feel like it's gonna be rushed... or the actual action is gonna be over super quick etc and loose ends won't get tied up... and I hate to say it, but I am kinda now doubting what is in store for dk fans in the finale? I would have thought this episode would have had more than it did, I gotta say. Idk... I just felt I had to say that to begin with.

Sigh, Kory continues to be and will forever be my absolute favourite. Idgaf what haters say and shit, I love Anna as Kory. I really do. She might not be like some of the versions people know Kory from but I think she brings close qualities and if anything makes this version of Kory edgier. Like, I absolutely adore her. Starfire is my absolute favourite DC character. Always has been, always will. I basically support any and all versions of my baby girl since DC doesn't spotlight her as much as they should cos she's fucking amazing.

Kory's dreaming and shit has me nervous for her. Like, we all know by now some bad shit goes down and happens to Kory. I am so dreading it. I know that she's gonna be fine from BTS stuff but like... it's still gonna hurt like a motherfucker.

Mercy was an interesting addition this season, I gotta say. I like the actress a lot since her days on Coronation Street (UK soap opera) and honestly, seeing her get choke slammed by Kory had me grinning but I like in the end she is purely like fuck it, take the documents, whatevs. Gar was also hilarious in that scene like no we don't need them all but I'm taking them ehehehehe. XD

Was... Was I missing something with May?? Like I thought she was dead when he burnt her ass up last episode? I was really confused cos she was just walking about like that didn't happen. Did she die and come back or was she never dead?? What... was that bodybag scene in the last ep real? I thought it was a dream. It was weird. I mean she dead af now and I enjoyed her as Mother Mayhem; she really had the villain oomf. Sebastian is... lacking in comparison.

In addition to that, Sebastian had potential to be scary but honestly, he comes off as a whiney mamas boy like he is grating. XD

Conner... my boy, I am always so left and right with you. I'm glad he is actually team Titans but... idk something in me still isn't trusting his ass XD. Like, I thought the bit with him and Dick in the tunnel was him tricking Dick or something but seems legit. We'll agree to like Conner and trust him... for now. XD

So, I didn't mind the Jason and Tim scenes but fuck me, wrong time. Like, I'm sorry. It felt so badly placed. We are at the penultimate episode and we're now just getting some Tim training as Robin with Jason? Nah, I was annoyed. And, they spent so many scenes on it?? Like miss me with that bs. It felt unnecessary, imo.

Another sour note, I feel like we actually could have had a lot more Kory scenes considering the episode was called Project Starfire. Like, damn. I promise, that's my only really salty thing.

Now, ahem... the dickkory scene on the balcony was cute af. It really nicely reflected the scene in S1 at the motel. But, it was too shorttt! Their sweet scenes are just... always too short for my liking which is disappointing. I'm happy for all and any scenes but jeez.

Gar and Rachel talking about wanting a change and shit, I was like are y'all gonna leave the famjam?? Cos I will not be emotionally okay if that happens. I literally just saw a certain new hero film where this was also a thing like pls CAN YOU NOT. My heart can't.

Lmao, Dick in the chamber thing when they were powering the orb thing was hilarious. Like, boy done fucked up the whole plan bc of his own anxiety for his wife. It was cute and his concern was very obvious.

Also, side note, the bit where Dick, Rachel and Gar appear where Kory is with Mercy made me giggle. Like Dick was so huffy like 'Making new friends?' and it was unusual like in this series its a real rarity that Dick is annoyed at something Kory has done like he has let her get away with literal murder whilst batting eyelashes at her. So, it was like tehe. Ya know? I'm assuming others know what I mean.

ALSO. When in the chamber thing as they got to 98% and before Dick fucked it up, did you guys notice Kory's eyes? That tiny bit where it went a bit slower and her eyes like flickered from glowing to normal? Was that something up with her powers or am I imagining shit?

I think that's mostly my thoughts. I still don't know how to feel on the episode. It didn't blow me away and I feel like with penultimate episode, I should be? I got excited in like the very last minute where he blows the horn and Kory's like 'There's only one way to end this. My way.' like bitch is dead serious and I'm scared for my girl.

I'm hoping the finale is really good buuut... I have also seen screeners really hyping it up and I'm just not trusting it. So, I think I'm gonna try and go into the finale with as less an expectation as possible to avoid crushing disappointment. I'm not gonna have any theories or anything or scenes that I would ideally like bc I think that's how you get set up for disappointment.

I'm gonna enjoy the ride and just see where the finale takes us. Weird that this time next week, Titans will be over. Sad times. :(

One upside, I'm working til 3pm next week so I am gonna try my absolute HARDEST to avoid tumblr and just not look at the tags so I remain blissfully unaware of what happens. Even if it kills me.

Each week when I am at work and a new episode of Titans comes out, I literally refresh the dc titans and dickkory tag like a thousand times to get me through the day.

Anyways! Hope others liked this episode and see y'all for the finale!

SO!

The Star Beast!

Let's talk about it!

(Major spoilers under the cut)

-First off, I fucking love Fourteen, absolutely a delight, I wanna hug them (Okay, technically I HAVE hugged them when I got to hug David at the con this year, but still!). Also, 'male-presenting Time Lord', bah! Still gonna use they/them when I refer to them because please just let me have this, I don't care, the Doctor canonically doesn't give two shits about gender and even refers to going by the article Doctor over a pronoun in this special anyway.

-Second, DONNA! OH DONNA! I love her, I love her so much, just- oh, she hasn't changed a damn bit! Including missing the fucking alien spacecraft because that was exactly what I expected from her. <3

-Also, most supportive mom, love that.

-Rose~! Oh, oh Rose, how I love you! No notes, she's amazing! It did hurt to hear her dead name being used, but considering that it was done by a bunch of dickheaded kids, it makes sense. But we will never use that name for her here, nope, she's just Rose. <3

-Shaun is a delight, Donna got herself the most excellent of malewives ever

-Sylvia, ah, exactly as I expected, though she is trying to be better for her daughter and granddaughter, so points to her.

-Meep! So much to say on the meep but I'll keep it brief: transphobic little shit.

-UNIT is always fun to see, but how well known are they nowadays because the BBC report actually referred to them. I dunno, I've still working my way through the Third Doctor's era where UNIT was a major plot point and I haven't... finished watching Thirteen's era yet (only because I want to watch it with my gf the next time we see each other).

-Fourteen interacting with the Noble family was great, especially with them trying to see the Meep and Sylvia panicking and wow, this face cannot escape being slapped I wonder if Donna will get to do one herself.

-The action stuff is so much fun, exactly what I expect from this series.

-Being on the Meep's ship, the fact that Donna went to help the Doctor and just... oh, oh, them freaking out and crying because they were scared she'd die when she remembered. I started sobbing.

-Hell, I was crying when they held her in their arms and said he didn't care if the grunts shot them... uuuuhhhhhggggg... Fourteen cares about her so much! That's his best friend!

-Rose! Rose and Donna, Time Ladies! Lord, Lady, and neither! Don't care what anyone says, I loved this. I didn't voice it, but I had a very strong feeling that Rose would inherit the DoctorDonna.

-Was a little confused about them 'letting go' but... yeah, alright, okay. Still, I wonder if there is still a bit of Time Lord left in them.

-Is there any chance that they can sell Rose's plushies. I really want the Ood one.

-THE TARDIS!

-Oooooh, she's beautiful and big and very classic and yet so very nuwho at the same time, a perfect blend, and just so gorgeous! And Fourteen freaking out in excitement, running around like a child, being so happy about a coffee maker in the TARDIS! <3<3<3

-And Donna's reaction! She was so happy too!

-But then the 'killed me' scene... oh, oh honey, you've been holding onto that for centuries, those memories and the guilt. It's honestly heartbreaking to know that the Doctor, through all their new faces, still held onto those feelings about what happened to Donna.

-I'm excited, don't know what the fuck is gonna happen in the next episode since we didn't get a preview and I think it's the least known of the episodes so far.

-I saved this for last, but I wanna talk about the sonic screwdriver cause I know some people are gonna be all 'oh, it's too OP!'

First off, the sonic has always been, it always will be, it's a fucking sci-fi tool, sci-fi series always have some sort of tool that does everything.

Second, whatever the hell it did to make the shields was awesome, that's such a cool trick and I love it. I bet it's done using sound and light waves, which makes for a very interesting concept and something I'd love to explore in one of my sci-fi aus. Not sure how it made that cool schematics things, but whatever.

Also, leave me alone! I love the new sonic! I need to get my hands on one, but they're always sold out or too expensive!

(Okay, not really last, just a bonus, but damn, no offense to Ten, but Fourteen is a bit more attractive to me. I dunno, I mean, I was crushing hard on the DT at 15, but at 31, it's like, oh. Oh no. He's aged so well, he's so pretty. This is probably Crowley's fault.)

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Yuma Ecstasy [10]

Monologue

ーー We took our time to sit down and explain,

everything which had happened since we last saw each other.

And ever so often, we would gently run our fingers across each other’s wounds,

as if trying to soothe the pain.

ー The scene starts inside the dungeon of the Vibora Castle

Yuma: ーー In short, I was used by that Kino guy. Pretty sure Lucks was as well.

Yui: So it was his plan to trick us all along...

Yuma: I’m such a fool. I can’t believe I’d get hung up over the past...to the point of betrayin’ the family I cared ‘bout so much.

I should have never trusted that fucker...

Kino: Are you talking about me?

ー Kino walks up to their cells

Kino: Little rude to say that when you’re the one who decided to trust me, don’t you think?

Yuma: Kino...!

Kino: Uwahー Both of you took a good beating. Fufu, my bad that this happened.

Yuma: ...Shut that damn mouth of yers right now. If ya don’t wanna get killed, that is.

Kino: Hah. I’d love to see you try like that. Aren’t you to blame for letting yourself get tricked?

Yuma: Bastard...Could ya say the same thing to Lucks!? That guy trusted ya!

Kino: Sure, no problem? I mean...He was nothing but a fake I put together anyway.

Yuma: !? The fuck!?

Kino: Yuuri found out that you had an important friend like him in the past, you see.

I figured I could use it to my advantage, so I looked a bit more into it and put together a Ghoul who looked and acted just like him.

When humans are reborn as Ghouls, it sometimes happens that their memories are a bit jumbled up. So it’s easy to implant new memories into them.

Do you understand? From that day the two of you were reunited in the human world, you were being deceived. Isn’t that hilarious?

Yui: Then the real Lucks-san...

Kino: Who knows. He doesn’t interest me enough to look into it.

Yuma: ...

Kino: Ahaha. Did I upset you again?

Yuma: ...Nah, if anythin’, I feel relieved. I’m glad the Boss I knew never fell for yer dirty lies.

I’m glad that the dude I looked up to so much wasn’t that much of an idiot.

Kino: ...You sure know what to say, huh?

Oh well, I wonder how much longer you’ll be able to talk big like that. ーー Let’s go, Yui.

Yui: Me...?

Yuma: Wait! Where are ya takin’ her!?

Kino: She’s still useful to me, unlike you. Come on, can you stand up?

Selection

→ Resist (❦)

Yui: No...I won’t go...!

Kino: Well, I figured you’d say that...I guess I’ll have you go night-night for a bit then.

→ Give up

Yui: ( Something might happen to Yuma-kun if I fight back... )

Yuma: Yui, run!

Yui: But you’ll...!

Yuma: I’ll save my own skin! So ya shouldーー

Kino: ...What a pain. I suppose it’d be better to have you go night-night for now.

*Thud*

ー The screen fades to black

Yuma: Yui!!

Yuma: Kino, ya bastard!!

Kino: It’s her own fault for not listening to me?

*Clatter*

Yuma: Fuck...! I’m gonna fuckin’ end ya!!!

Kino: Go ahead and try.

I’m pretty sure you will soon be executed by the Vibora though. Ahahaha!

ー Kino walks away

Yuma: ...I’ll never forgive that bastard...!

*TIMESKIP*

Yui: ...Uu...

ー Yui wakes up in the entrance hall

Yui: ( ...? Where am I...? )

Vibora Maid A: Have you awoken, Princess?

Yui: Eh...!?

( Princess...? Don’t tell me she’s talking about me? )

Kino: Hey there, how does the brand-new Vibora Princess feel?

Yui: Kino-kun...! Where’s Yuma-kun!?

Kino: That’s the first thing you ask me? The two of you really are alike, aren’t you?

He’s still inside his cell. That being said, I’m pretty sure he’ll be send to the execution grounds soon.

Yui: Execution grounds...!?

Kino: He’ll be convicted to the crime of Demon hunting.

Not even Vampires can escape death if their head is chopped off.

Yui: No way...

Kino: Want to prevent that?

Yui: Of course! I don’t want Yuma-kun to die...!

Kino: Fufu, thank you for giving me the answer I anticipated. Since you’re such a good girl, I’ll tell you.

The one and only way to prevent Yuma’s execution, that isーー

Monologue

The one and only way (唯一の方法) to save Yuma-kun.

That would be...

For me to become the Vibora Queen,

and give the order for their army to go and invade Eden (エデンへの侵入).

Kino-kun’s lips curved upwards with enjoyment as he watched me stand there at a complete loss for words.

If I agree to his plan,

I will put all of the others who are at Eden in danger.

ーー But even so.

There was only one choice I could make.

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

I would like to know about ‘What Ifs’ please

It's a little "alternate ending" piece I wrote as an off-shoot of West of Eden, which is Avery and Wes's full narrative. Specifically it's a scene in which Avery and Wes are 21 and just recently started talking again after long period of religiously avoiding one another. Avery invited Wes to attend a rodeo in which he's competing as a sort of olive branch-- Hey, wanna come watch me risk my life riding bulls? Totally not because I missed you and don't know how to up and say that. Nah man I just totally wanted some bro time.

Anyway.

The two of them are sharing a motel room. They're both drunk and have a particularly intimate moment but ultimately nothing happens between them, Wes sleeps on the couch and Avery sleeps in the only bed. What Ifs was me indulging the "yeah but what if they did act on their impulses?"

Here's a snippet. Nsfw warning.

“Sit yer ass down,” Wes tells him. Avery looks up to see him pointing at the edge of his bed.

“Why?” Avery spits back without a second thought.

Wes’s eyelids shutter in a few irritable blinks, he grimaces like he’s about to spit. “Cause you’re too damn drunk to get yer boots off!”

There’s a pause between them during which Avery ponders just how much his dignity means to him. He grabs the scuffed wood heel of his boot and tries to wrench it off with a touch more force than necessary. The graceless motion stunts his balance, he has to take his hand off his boot and brace it against the wall lest he hit the floor entirely.

Avery’s nostrils flare in a huff, his cheeks prickle with warmth. He looks back up at Wes. “You’re drunk too!”

“Not as drunk as you are,” Wes snips right back.

With a low groan, Avery relents. He isn’t sure if he’s too tired to keep fighting or just too drunk. He’d rather die than admit it but the longer he stands still the more the nausea sets in. Whatever the case, he moves over to the bed and drops his ass down on the mattress. Wes meets him there and kneels in front of him, brows knit low and lips pursed like he’s never been more frustrated.

Avery can say with confidence this isn’t the most frustrated he’s made Wes in their many years tangled up in each other’s lives. It’s been a while since Avery last got a good, long taste of what it’s like to get under this cowboy’s skin. Truth be told, he missed it. Avery holds himself still, hands placed flat against the bed beneath him to hold his posture steady as Wes grabs ahold of a boot heel and pulls it free.

He sets the boot down on the floor, positioned upright all polite-like. Avery would’ve just kicked them off in the corner of the room were he sober— Wes is kind to the things he anticipates staying in his life a good long while. A nice pair of boots ought to last a man quite a few years.

And it’s there with Wes knelt below him at the edge of the bed, hands gripped around his remaining boot, that the fire swelling in his chest starts to dampen. It’s not a flame dying cold but a flame slowing to a gentle warm glow. Molten metal cools and takes shape, hot-blooded emotions give way for something tender, Avery is sorely reminded how much he missed stupid Wesley fucking Baker.

A sense of longing is a dangerous feeling if left unattended. Avery’s felt it for months, years now, he refuses to remind himself just how long he’s been tied to his own heartache. Has it really been years? Avery remembers the last time they shared a hotel room so vividly. Unspoken words and cold weather and the hot steam of a shared shower. If he opens that bottle, dares to peek inside and see his own reflection in bittersweet memories, he runs the risk of admitting wholeheartedly that he is still just as in love with Wes as he’s always been.

Just as it is impossible to be unaware of the contents of a clear bottle, Avery knows what he hides in his own heart. To be blissfully unaware would be to blatantly lie and he’s never been a very good liar.

He has to wonder– just has to entertain the thought– if Wes still harbors the same affection but the bottle is painted over in the colors of a good Catholic man. The patient lover that begets the loyal husband, stained glass reflection of a family structure Wes has only ever seen broken. Does he really want to model himself after his father? Bottlemaker’s son, he would be better at making a vessel to hide innermost thoughts anyway.

Avery’s face still feels flushed and hot from the liquor, his heartbeat hasn’t wanted to slow since his fist made contact with a stranger’s cheek. He feels his pulse in his throat as he watches Wes set the second boot beside its matching counterpart. Hazel eyes look up from the floor and the rush of every emotion he’s ever felt for Wesley Baker hits him, he swears he feels nauseous.

This is the part where Wes sheepishly looks away. This is the part where Avery still doesn’t know what to say, if he should say anything at all. This is the part where Wes sleeps on the couch fully clothed, boots and all, and Avery stares at the ceiling in his bed. This is the terrible yearning that never wanes, this is the past, present and future, this is what their lives have come to.

And yet Wes defies the will of God and all his teachings when he doesn’t look away. Avery only realizes he’s holding his breath when a hand wrapping around his calf forces a shaky exhale. Staring dumbly in the low light of a single orange-gold lamp, Avery tries to grasp the simple act of Wes staying on his knees because it strikes through his every expectation.

He struggles to even ask the only burning question there is to ask.

“What are you doing?”

Wes responds in motion before he responds in words. He inches his body closer, hand creeping up Avery’s leg until it cradles the underside of a thigh. Lips graze the seam of Avery’s jeans like they are a path meant to be followed, Wes’s eyes are closed as he makes his slow advance. He pauses to press his cheek against Avery’s inner thigh, eyes open half-lidded and sick with desire.

“Stayin’.”

The pieces stack slow and fall in an instant, once that pin is pulled there is no going back. Avery arcs his hips up off the bed when Wes undoes his belt buckle, grabs him by the beltloops and pulls his jeans down around his knees. All it takes is bare skin to bare skin for Avery’s cunt to ache, Wes’s wide hands pushing his thighs apart. He’s sure he’s already wet because he’s been wet every time he’s sat alone thinking about Wes touching him just like this.

Wes grabs the cuff of one pant leg to yank it down off Avery’s foot as he makes the first slow draw of his tongue. Even the smallest taste is electric, Avery gasps and bites his lip lest he let the neighboring hotel room know he’s got another man between his legs. More desire than Avery knows what to do with gets the better of him and he bucks up into Wes’s warm mouth, opens his legs further now that Wes’s freed them from the burden of dusty blue jeans.

It occurs to him that Wes hasn’t done this before. He knows because Wes’s mouth has never known the taste of Avery’s cunt and he knows because Wes wasn’t lying when he said he’s never touched Monica. Avery decides he couldn’t fucking care less, it wouldn’t be the first time they shared a first– Avery almost wishes it was a first for both of them again, just like it was in that abandoned house.

That doesn’t matter. It only matters that it’s him.

Avery weaves his hand into Wes’s sandy blond hair and pulls. “Higher,” he breathes, “Just a little– just a little bit higher.”

Wes tilts his chin up and opens his eyes just long enough to look at him. Expectant verdant irises watch and wait for approval as he presses the flat of his tongue to Avery’s clit. Avery jolts, again his hips try helplessly to rut into Wes’s mouth, insatiable need is just so hard to quell. The whimper that rolls off his tongue tells its own tale; Wes is a quick learner. Eyes flutter shut again and a contented murmur rumbles in Wes’s chest as he rocks his head from side to side, mirroring the motion Avery’s hand might make, Avery wonders just how often Wes has fantasized about this too.

“Fuck,” Avery curses through a shuddering exhale, “Keep– J-just– Fuck,” his voice strains and snaps, forming whole sentences against the tide of a velvet-soft mouth is nigh on impossible. Avery can feel himself blushing when he steels himself and growls, “Just keep doing that.”

Avery swears he knows Wes is smiling despite having his face buried in his pussy. Those hazel eyes blink open only briefly; Wes’s gaze feels like it aims to admire just as much as it aims to tease. Avery could never admit to feeling butterflies in his stomach from a look alone.

Steady rhythm makes the fire in Avery burn hotter, desire is gasoline and the flames can do nothing but rise. His thighs tremble, hands clench around Wes’s hair and yank, trying to stop himself from grinding his clit against Wes’s tongue is entirely a lost cause. Each breath is an audible sound, by now he’s too lost in unanswered needs, carnal and pure. Whimpers, whines, breathless moans, if God is out there he’s welcome to listen too for all Avery cares.

His heart races at a hummingbird’s pace, the headrush strikes him dizzy. Wes breathes slow through his nose, stillwater calm as he indulges in the divine act of service. No one makes Avery fall apart so quickly and so absolutely like Wes can. Many have tried, Avery has sought tirelessly after a balm for his own aching desire. None can match that measure, none can embody the bread and wine while the flesh and blood still lives.

Sometimes it feels as though God made them for each other. It’s easier to rationalize just why Avery cannot settle for anyone else that way. Avery is not often a religious man but Wes on knees as though he’s praying at the altar can bring him back to faith.

Avery’s chest rises and falls as he pants through an open mouth, hazy eyes dripping amber honeyed affection while he watches Wes. Every stroke of his tongue is a prayer answered, doesn’t matter if Avery has to adjust his angle by the hand woven into Wes’s hair every now and again. Avery wonders how Wes is going to justify this to himself come morning, if sharing a bed with Avery once again is another damning sin or the inevitable culmination of bound fates. Things were always going to end up this way, weren’t they?

Wes stops dead. Avery groans under his breath and inches himself closer to the edge of the bed. He urges Wes to put his mouth back where it belongs with language only bodies can speak, impatience is a trait Wes has learned to expect. He just looks up and grins as he grabs each of Avery’s thighs and hoists them over his shoulders.

Arms looped around muscle-dense thighs, fingertips pressed into his freckled skin, Avery’s head throws back as Wes’s tongue draws up through his soaked cunt ‘til his mouth fits around his clit. A shiver rattles Avery down to his core, he grips handfuls of the bedsheets beneath him. Hard to tell if Wes is technically any good at this, a warm mouth is enough in its own right and watching Wesley Baker eat like Avery’s cunt offers ambrosial salvation already has Avery nothing short of a mess.

A soft hum resonates in the back of Wes’s throat, he squeezes Avery’s body in his hands hard enough to bruise. He’s already speckled black and blue from riding bulls, what’s a few more marks? No one but Avery will know who they came from, what they mean.

“Oh my God, Wes,” Avery exclaims through a straining whimper, “Don’t stop, fuck, please don’t st– Your mouth feels so–”

A shameless display of carnal hunger breaks something in Wes just as it broke something in Avery.

“God dammit,” Wes growls, pulling his head up with teeth gritted as he tries to swallow his mounting frustration, “I can’t— Fuck it, Avery, I can’t stand waitin’ any longer.”

#they make me crazy your honor #wes eating him out while kneeling at the edge of a bed is soooooooo #yknow #avery #wesley #ty for the ask wish!#asks #my writing

Diabolik Lovers || Dark Waters - Maria Maniac Route [Maniac Epilogue]

WARNING: This chapter contains suicide thoughts and mentions to NSFW. If these make you uncomfortable, do not read it.

--Scene starts in the hallway at the Sakamaki manor

Maria: Laito-kun... Where are you taking me?

Laito: Nfu... You’ll see in a minute~

--Scene fades into the music room

Laito: Here we are~

Maria: Eh...? I didn’t know we had a music room...

Laito: Of course we do~

Maria: It’s so beautiful...

(Such a large piano... I feel like I could spend hours here!)

Laito: Do you know any instruments, Slut-chan~?

Maria: Oh no, not at all... I’ve tried learning piano once, but didn’t put enough effort into it.

Laito: Would you like me to teach you~?

Maria: ... ...

Laito: Hm? What is with that face~? Wouldn't you like to learn~? Fufufu

Maria: I would... buy knowing you, I wonder what kind of price that would require...

Laito: Nfufu my my~ You know me so well~

I wasn't expecting you to actually catch on~

Maria: Nfu of course...

So? What do you want?

Laito: So straight forward~ Fufu

However, you see, I am in an very good mood today since I finally have my precious Slut-chan back to me~

So this once, I will simply do what you like. No price required~

Maria: ... ... For real?

Laito: Nfu Unless you want to grant me a wish, of course~

Maria: Nope! I pass.

Laito: Eeeh~? So cold, Slut-chan~

Anyway, let's start with our lesson, shall we~?

Maria: ... Fine...

--They sit in front of the piano

Laito: Nfu~ Now why don't you show me what you know?

Maria: Ok...

... ...

Laito: ... ... Is that it?

Maria: Like I said, I don't know much...

Laito: Well now that's disappointing, isn't it~? Fufufu

Maria: ... Are you gonna be making fun of me? Cuz I don't need that. I know I'm bad!

Laito: Fufufufu no need to get aggressive, Slut-chan~

Here, let me give you a demonstration~

... ...

Maria: ... ...

(Damn... He's really good...)

...!

--Suddenly a memory of Karlheinz flashes

Laito: Slut-chan? Hey, Slut-chan!

Maria: ... Eh...?

Laito: What happened? You suddenly looked like you saw a ghost, you know? Nfufu

Maria: ... ... ...

Laito: Slut-chan...?

Maria: I can't... I can't do this anymore...

Laito: Hm...?

Maria: Every night... Every single night he comes in my dreams and he touches me and speaks to me and calls me Lilith...

I can't... I don't want this anymore... Why... Why do I have to go on like this!? Why did I accept that stupid offer!??!

Laito: ... ... ...

Maria: *Sob* ... *Sob* I wanna die... *Sob* ... I wanna throw myself out the window and die already... *Sob* Just make it stop... *Sob sob*

Laito: ... Maria...

*ruffle*

Maria: ... Eh...?

(Laito-kun just... pulled me close into a hug...)

Laito: ... Come on... Stop crying now~

Maria: ... Laito-kun...

Laito: Nfu... Normally I would love seeing your tears... But knowing it was another man who caused them... I can't have that now, can I~?

Maria: ... ...

Laito: Nfufu come on... Let your Laito-kun handle this~

I'll make sure you forget all about it~

Aah... Nn... Nnn... Gulp...

Maria: Ugh!

(... Wait... This doesn't hurt as much... But...)

(It feels like... My body is heating up...)

Laito: Nn... Haah...

Nfu Your face is all red~ Are you enjoying my fangs that much~? Fufufu

Nn... Gulp... Hmph...

Maria: (He's pulling me even closer...)

(Haah... Why... My head feels so light right now... I think I'm losing it...)

Laito: Haah... Slut-chan's blood... It's so good and different~

More... Slut-chan... Give yourself to me~

All of it~

More~... More~ More~!!

Monologue

I finally gave in...

Not only did I let Laito have his way with me

I actually took him in

I had nothing left

And so I gave him my body and soul

I knew it was a mistake... and that he would probably never think much of it

But at that moment I decided not to care and play pretend

To pretend he loved me

Buffy the vampire Slayer.

Season 2

Ep 7 - Lie to me

Please don't kill the kid, I hate it. Leave the kids alone

Drusilla and angel... Do they have a past? Interesting.

Oh for fuck sake! Not again! Why does buffy walks in the worst time ever. Now its angel and Drusilla. Great.

Sometimes Cordelia needs to shut up. Girl, just don't.

A new guy, billy ford, buffy's giant 5th-grade crush. Welp he's either gonna be our new fav guy or die in this episode.

Lmao Xander, you are funny. Also, willow that song is not about fat guys.

Jealousy jealousy all around. Tension all around here. Angel jealous, love it.

Ford knows everything. What do you mean you know about vampire and that she's the slayer!? WTF MAN!

He's a bad guy, I am sure of it. He's a vampire, maybe...? Or he wants to be one...?

Awww, angel is jealous. I love men get jealous in shows or books.

I love awkward mess willow. She's me and I love it.

Dont trust the ford guy. I know he's cute buffy but cute guys are trouble. Stick to women.

Spike and drusilla/drusilla's relationship is creepy .

This ford guy is totally crazy and dumb. Wanna be a vampire, just die.

Jesus Angel is dramatic, "Do you love me?", "maybe you shouldn't ", just shut up.

Jesus fucking Christ, Angel. What he did to Drusilla is pure evil. Poor girl. I hope she gets to torture and kill him. Wtf man.

Xander: "Angel was in your room?", Willow:- "Ours is a forbidden love". God I love willow. She's my favorite .

Man, buffy really has the worst taste in men. None of them are good. Angel(his fucked up past), billy ford, the creepy cemetery guy, the college guy who was a reptile worshipper and in sacrifice cult. Girl, maybe get some therapy at this point,.

Spike is kinda hot and I think I need some therapy now.

Oh OH, this ford guy is max from Rosewell(or whatever it's called), the one with insane chemistry between him and Liz. Lmao, never watched the show but I've watched gif's of them making out, which are...something 🤤🙈

Buffy for the win again.

Spike is gonna kill ford isn't he? Poor guy should've stayed in the Rosewell universe.

I kinda feel bad that ford he died. Poor guy was crazy.

I like this little moment between buffy and giles. It's emotional, raw and real.

B:- "does it get easy", G:- "what, life", B:- "yes", G:- "what do you want me to say", B:- "lie to me". Damn, I don't know why but it got me.

The last scene between giles and buffy, in the end, got me. I mean this show is pretty heavy and emotional at the times but I feel like it's gonna get much more from here.

Also, the "lie to me", episode title. Perfect for this episode. The theme of this episode was literally "lie to me", the conflict, the delusions, denials, characters lying to themselves. Ford, buffy, Giles, angel, all of them lying to themselves in different ways. Their pain and turmoil. Perfect.

Alright, another solid episode. Honestly, other than one or maybe two episodes, I've been pretty much invested in the show and haven't got bored at all.

I loved this episode. Little more sneek peek in angel's past, and drusilla and damn her past broke me, poor girl. Honestly she can go on a killing spree and I wouldn't blame her, the girl has been through hell. Angel ruined her life because he became obsessed with her? Fuck you angel.

Not sure how I feel about ford, he was a one episode guy so no attachment but like dude just die. It's kinda sad he spiralled that far away.

I really need more angel, I am not gonna lie, he doesn't even feel like a character to me anymore. It's weird how little or Barely he is in the show. I know he has his own show but I don't wanna watch that because ain't no way I am putting myself through cordelia and angel bullshit.

A really great ending to the episode, really liked that they touched on Buffy's emotional turmoil, even if it's briefly.

I guess that's all, loved the episode. Not much xander in it, it was more buffy and angel focus and angels past which included drusilla. Someone needs to get her justice because poor girl.

Anyway, see ya in the next one. Cheers 🥂

Jeanne VnC, Emi MP100, and Mana GGGnK :3

Send me a character!

Hoo boy, here I go... I'm playing VnC OSTs as I type this.

Under the read more because this got super lengthy.

Jeanne (Vanitas no Carte)

First impression: Ohh she's badass!

Impression now: MY GIRL AAAAA PLEASE BE HAPPY

Favorite moment: WHEN!! SHE!! SMILES!! At that part Vanitas was stunned and I was like "damn me too bro", also the DomiJeanne dance because I ship them too

Idea for a story: Honestly I don't know? I think VnC is still far from being over so there are still a lot of things that could happen. This story is very unpredictable anyway. That said, I want to see Jeanne hanging out casually with Chloe and Jean-Jacques again...I just wanna see them happy together again.

Unpopular opinion: I don't know, I'm not into the fandom and don't engage with them.

Favorite relationship: I like VaniJeanne, but I also like DomiJeanne!

Favorite headcanon: Everyone in VnC is bi/pan unless specified otherwise, that includes Jeanne too. This is a headcanon that I see every now and then in the tag and my favorite so far to the point I apply it to other series other than VnC as well lol.

Emi (Mob Psycho 100)

First impression: She's so cute!!

Impression now: My favorite girl in MP100, surpassing Tome and Tsubomi. She may not get to appear much, but her character arc singlehandedly blew me away (and the anime made it much better). I love her.

Favorite moment: After the gorgeous scene of Mob reassembling her novel, she went to make a story inspired by Mob and that just made me soooo happy :")

Idea for a story: There really isn't a whole lot of room for her character, is it? I want her to be more involved in the story, but MP100 is not a story about her and she's, unfortunately, probably not that relevant in Mob's life as much as I wanted her to be. My idea is that I think I just want Emi and Mob to meet again and talk casually like friends. I know, I know they did talk briefly in S3EP3, but what I mean is after the end. I want Emi and Mob to meet again, then Emi realized how much Mob has changed compared to when they met for the first time, then they become good friends with no hard feelings. May be an opportunity for Emi to sort out her feelings for Mob as well, whether what she feels for him is romantic or platonic.

Unpopular opinion: There really isn't much discussion about her, so I haven't seen anything that causes me to think of something unpopular. I think if I have to state a general annoyance of how the fandom treats her, is that she's often shoved aside in favor of another character and more popular ship, but that doesn't really count.

Favorite relationship: MobEmi, whether it's romantic or platonic. I also have been thinking about Tsubomi/Emi a lot too.

Favorite headcanon: Tbh I very rarely adapt headcanons from fandoms unless it's something I really really like, but if there's one headcanon of Emi that falls into such category, then it'll be Emi recognizing tropes and genres and all that stuff because she's a writer. So if she sees 100% Courage Mob, Emi is like "why are you suddenly like a manga protagonist?!". It's a headcanon made by one of my favorite artists in the past, but it's still very funny to me.

Mana Inuyama (Gegege no Kitaro 2018)

First impression: PleasedontbelikeYumekopleasedontbelikeYumeko---

Impression now: I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER I WILL DIE FOR YOU!!

Favorite moment: Honestly Mana is such a great character, a lot of her moments are just amazing. I think I like her moments in EP20 (it's also one of the best episodes in the GGGnK), EP66, The Final Arc, and...her role in the entire Nanashi Arc (the first season). The Nanashi Arc in particular still stands out for me, god that was a rollercoaster. And in the final arc where she willingly sacrificed her memories for Kitaro? I cried so hard at that part. I love her, I'm so glad she's very well-developed and gets to play a lot of active roles in the plot.

Idea for a story: Gegege no Kitaro (2018) already feels like such a complete story, with a perfect feel-good ending too, so I'm not sure if I have any idea for it. I think I want an episode entirely dedicated to them hanging out again in a pure fluff episode, a similar vibe to EP94, explaining the photograph sent on the end screen of the final episode. That would be great, I just want to see the main 2018 trio be together and happy.

Unpopular opinion: I...don't know? I'm not too engaged with the fandom, so I have no unpopular opinion of her.

Favorite relationship: Kitaro-Mana-Neko Musume, they are a set do not separate!!

Favorite headcanon: It's less of a headcanon and more of a just little idea, but since Mana and Neko Musume are very well-versed in "modernity", I like the idea of them teaching all kinds of modern languages and slangs to Kitaro. Kitaro doesn't like it at all.

#personal #long post #mayoigotokurousagi #thank you so so much <33 i had lots of fun answering all of these!#i ended up rambling a lot hahah but what's new #i just read vnc vol 10 so the series is kinda fresh again in my mind #but i really miss gggnk aaaaaa i wish i could watch the upcoming movie #anyway thank you so much again!!

“Like a couple months later”

October 15th: the callous daoboys - Die On Mars

Slimebergrind. I listened to this band under the pretense of it being “mathy emo music” and what I got was two albums (and some EPs i haven’t heard) of perfect……. fuck what do i even call this? what am i doing?? i’m 3 bong rips deep and i’m trying to describe the daoboys? that is a terrible idea. Anyway, it’s heavy, it’s sassy, it’s fast, the noisy bits as well as the more melodic bits weave into the never ending restless tempo/time switches that set up quite the barrier for entry for people who wanna mosh to this, let me be clear, it can be done you just have to be a bit of a gay nerd (and if you’re reading this chances are you are). This album is ADHD at it’s truest and has such a distinct sound that completely does away with the masculine energy that emanates off most “core” bands, The Callous Doughboys carry a fun, lighthearted welcoming energy without letting go of that “fuck you” metal attitude, conspiracy theorists and catholic extremists are on the beating end of Maddie’s guitar, lucky for them these guys scream hard enough you can just pretend you can’t understand you cowards.

This album is scathing, from the very opening moments of Flip Flops at a Funeral the daoboys are going strong with vaguely guitar made noises, pure queer anger, and plenty of “theatre kid shit” this song is a perfect mission statement for the genrebending borderline tempoless yet infectiously groovy album we have ahead of us. The Callous Doughboys have endless riffage for every situation, and Dogfight Over the Trenches is a great demonstration of their composing ability, fuck it, this might be one of their best songs, it’s full of those crazy shots that pepper their signature style, noisy bits, breakdowns, and pained vocals that make your aunt say “turn that screamo shit off”. It’s a well pondered question among yuppies how heavy music could possibly be catchy to some people, and through my journey with the daoboys i’ve discovered that a big part of it is familiarity, this sound can be really hard to break into from a purely hardcore background (like i did) but once you feel like you “get it” i implore you to listen to Fake Dinosaur Bones one more time and shout it at the rooftops cuz it is by far one of the catchiest metal songs i’ve heard. After a lovely interlude we jump right back into another of my favourites (they’re all my favourite) The Absolute Barnstormer, a brutal grind jam that still reeks of that theatre kid shit, i think that if you had to get a strictly metal fan into this (for some reason idk) this would be the song to do it, the riffs in this song are so white belt, the restaurant scene is so funny, the shots are still in full fucking swing, and that guitar feedback hits my ears soooooo nicely, S Tier track. Chances are good if you’ve heard of these guys you know Blackberry DeLorean, and that’s for good reason, this song has some of my favourite melodies and riffs and beats, the whole thing takes me back to middle school in the best way possible, if you’re gonna listen to any daoboys this is the song, and then listen to the rest of them or else you won’t be hot n sexy🤷‍♀️. Pure Schlock is a song that you can tell they had fun writing, it’s so fun to break shit to, the dissonant guitar leads next to those fucking shots before a quick pre chorus and one of the best choruses on the whole album, both vocalists take this track as a chance to show off and they leave me in awe, the whole band is going so hard on this song (forgot to have breakfast with my spiro i’m dissociating a little) and every breakdown has my downstairs neighbours plotting to have me evicted if i don’t stop jumping around. this is a pretty long album and i’m running out of interesting things to say, i love every song on this so damn much, but we’re gonna skip right ahead to the song of the hour, the bisexual menace, the complete and utter moshfest that is Die On Mars (Sunspot) the way the whole rhythm section moves together despite the wildly inconsistent tempo, i’d love to figure out how the guitar makes those noises, or even how the bass developed that much swagger, but more than anything i just want everyone to shut up and listen to this fucking chorus, it’s so heavy, so catchy, so daoboys, you don’t get this sound anywhere else, so in the end when they start singing i just close my eyes and let the frantic, amazing guitars wash me away.

#mathcore #metalcore #the callous daoboys #georgia #gay fuckin bisexual non binary band #screamo #i fucking love them

ok so idk if this is a hot take or whatever but i rewatched the rgg movie from 2007 and that shit ROCKS i like it so much more now bc like,, the first time i watched it i was expecting a straightforward adaptation of the first game's plot and that's just fully not what it is at all nor what it was trying to be

like yeah most of the nishiki final boss stuff at the end is pretty underwhelming but it's not about him. it's about kamurocho!! it's about the reasons people turn to crime and the humanity of everyone involved except for jingu lmao and how fucking bonkers mad you feel when it's a little too hot outside and?? sadomasochism??? between the masochist info guy and majima using the same door slamming technique on kiryu that he used for said info guy and then the very very sexual connotations to the majima chestsitting knife dick shot in the bedroom at the soapland I'm just saying there are. implications. like additional ones to the inherent ones of the kazumaji dynamic like yeah!! that's all good. and once you stop waiting on game events to happen you can just like,, enjoy the stuff happening in it. it's a very character-centric movie and that scratches an itch for me.

it's also like wayy funnier than i remembered lol. some of it's not really on purpose like the cg helicopter just skating all over town shattering windows for idk reasons I guess. probably because jingu's an asshole? idk you could probably read meaning into jingu's symbol of power carelessly wrecking kamurocho but i think it's probably just for shits. but like,, the baseball stuff (the scene where majima calls their match a doubleheader and then the subtitles explain what that is for like three lines over like 30 seconds of gunshot footage is fucking top notch) and kiryu's flip phone troubles and the hostage takers requesting nice expensive food and the hostages thanking them and then the cop being like "if they'd asked for anything more expensive we would have taken them out" and all that idk I'm so endeared to it rn

i also find it kinda fascinating that majima is so present in this because like,, to my understanding, before the release of 0 (and therefore before kiwami's majima everywhere system and whatnot), majima was considered this kinda random side character, like he'd just show up whenever and fuck off again like that. he played a much smaller role. he's not even especially important in the og yakuza, and this came out around 9 months before y2 so it's just based on y1 majima's vibe. yet they gave him significantly more attention than nishiki or kazama or even yumi (though all three were sorta background figures it's like they were already ghosts. man kazama doesn't even DIE in this, he just leaves. they make up for him living by making nishiki's hair a casualty bc oh my LORD what was that jdhshsh). truly goes to show what a silly guy does to a mf

(also they actually give majima and haruka an interaction here??? and he's kind to her and kiryu trusts him to not hurt her and she's like "idc I'll beat you up don't fucking TOUCH ojisan" and he's like "well damn. go on then" gah augh love. closest thing we have in rgg to my knowledge is majima kidnapping her offscreen and him [vague rgg5 spoilers] risking his and saejima's lives to save her bc she means so much to kiryu. here he just doesn't wanna hurt a kid)

obviously it's kinda weird to ditch most of the plot/key characters of the game and i don't think it's great that they tried to tie it in at the end how they did but like. eh idk I'm happy with it. it's a good time. i won't argue it's a masterpiece (mostly bc i don't like arguing over whether media is "objectively good" or whatever) but it DOES make me happy :D. so. thanks like a dragon (2007) mwah mwah xoxo

anyway point is it's about the vibes of playing yakuza, which is (for me) about getting immersed in the city and the little side plots of the people in it and whatever and then cramming the plot in last minute :)

#rgg #ryu ga gotoku #yakuza #kiryu kazuma #like a dragon #they also know how to make a guy look good getting beat up which is ABSOLUTELY a good chunk of the rgg experience #so good on them #dick shot in the soapland bedroom by the heartshaped bed sounds like a clue murder summary #anyway I think about that scene all the time. what a choice #we'll just make it so so blatantly homoerotic to make up for the fact that majima didn't take a knife for kiryu this time #and kiryu like smirks?? at majima when he challenges him at the batting cages?? i think? idk im bad w faces but i think he does #in a very :| way bc it's kiryu but still a notable way for like.. y1 era #truly ahead of its time bc he would go on to smile at majima when theyre about to fight in other games and also #all the time in my head #like a dragon 2007 #correction: there was NOT a heart shaped bed in the soapland room my brain just fully inserted one in there lol

Allies or Enemies by The Crane Wives is sooooo lawlight. Specifically L POV directly after Light regains his memories

“Are we allies or enemies? This will be the death of me

Remember when I could tell you not to smile when you were mad? And you would always crack And we’d both be laughing in the end Now you’re not so quick to forget”

Like AUGH. yep! Not sure what’s gonna happen next, who’s gonna do it, is he gonna die? He knows that someone’s not getting out of this alive. Is he dying literally? Or a metaphorical death of like. If you were here when I discovered phantoms by mariana’s trench know I’m obsessed with like. Them still “dying” when they have to go on living without each other. and like. The remember part being L reminiscing on when he and light. Well. They didn’t get along. But they had to work together and clearly they got along well enough to share a living space for however many months. Whereas now light remembers being Kira again. And so he’s not intentionally acting different but L can tell, L can read him to know how he holds onto resentments more, how he remembers more. OUGH. AUG. OW. I’m hurting myself. Actually wait I started in the middle but let’s go over the beginning too.

“The words I speak are wildfires and weeds They spread like some awful damn disease I swear I didn’t mean what I said I swear I didn’t mean it

Now listen close, you owe me ears for dropping eaves Forget it all, you caught me in a moment weak Sometimes I just can’t help myself Sometimes I can’t help myself at all”

You have to stretch your imagination a bit but this is very rain scene and a bit foot scene. You know from the anime, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t in the manga but idk I haven’t gotten to that part of the manga yet. Anyway! L being unsure of his words and thoughts, a moment of weakness, Very much that part of ep 25 when they’re on the rooftop in the rain and also a bit L in the infamous foot scene, though it’s not quiiitee right for that. Or we’ll everything is good for that but like there’s not Enough for that. There’s a lot going on there. But that’s what the rest of the song is for! Ok now back where we left off at the start of the post.

“Are we allies or enemies? This will be the death of me This will be the death of me All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore This will be the death of me”

Aaaaa. He wants to stop but he knows if he does he’s dead. He wants to just keep playing his games with Light, but he knows they’re at the finish line, if they keep playing they will reach the end and someone’s gonna die. He doesn’t want to stop playing, but he either stops now and whatever Kira is planning takes him out, or he keeps going an either he dies anyway or light does. The game is ending soon but he just wants to keep going, but he can’t, he can’t fight with light much longer, and he’s not even sure whether he wants to, if that’s the game he even wants most, but it’s the only one he has and there’s no other options. Someone’s gonna die and it’s probably gonna be him.

“What happens now? Do we have another go? Do we bow out and take our separate roads? I’ll admit I’ve had my doubts But I want to be let in, not out But I want to be let in, not out”

he’s not sure what’s gonna happen next. He’s not sure what he wants to happen next. he’s had his doubts about the Kira case before, but now he knows he’s right, and he doesn’t wanna stop just cause he’s confident he’s right, because he knows there’s more, he knows they’re more to see and understand, things he’s never even considered possible, and he wants to know and understand everything. He needs to know everything there is to know about Light and Kira, and he’s not sure which intrigues him more, but he’s not ready for there game to stop, for them to part ways. But he knows they will, he’s to smart to think this ends any other way. One of them is dying. He knows himself, and he knows Kira, and so he knows that this cannot end with both of them still standing.

I’m obesssedd with them!!! New song for my lawlight playlist aw yeah. Also the song is really good I’m gonna listen to more of the band this is pretty cool

#lawlight #death note #l lawliet #i love talking about the characters but due to The Issues (disabilities) it is very difficult especially in writing #So I’m glad that apparently drawing convoluted connections between the characters and music is a good way to get my brain to actually work #I think it’s somethzing about having a prompt or guide to follow. An canon is still a guide to follow but it’s a lot longer #whereas a song I can reread the lyrics over and over to remind myself what I was thinking #And the audio also acts as a memory cue.#It’s similar to how I can write many paragraphs on a fanfic but again I struggle with doing the same for canon unless I’m talking to someon #idk. My brain is weird and it hates me a bit but as I’ve grown up I’ve gotten better at working with it an im thinking about that right now #And it makes me really happy to see how I’ve grown
