part 2
wc: 1752
masterlist
'this isnt like him' was the lie mingyu told himself to justify his current endeavor. although he was ashamed of his current state, he had finally hit rock bottom, but that was not something he could admit to himself nor anyone else while also retaining whatever was left of his dignity.
there he was, in his roommate's room as you showered, crouched over your laundry hamper in search of a special something to aid him as he relieved himself of the frustration you had been causing him ever since you moved in a few weeks ago.
after some altercations with your former tenant, your best friend vernon (also known as mingyu's current roommate) had offered you the extra room in his an mingyu's apartment. the room wonwoo had graciously given up in order to move in with his girlfriend two months prior.
now, mingyu had no issue with you. quite the opposite, actually! he had immediately taken a liking to you as soon as youd been introduced by vernon, even befriending you in the process. you, however, despite being his new friend/pretty roommate, were still the source of many of mingyu's problems.
it had first began with the summer heat rising just as you moved in, causing you to wear sinfully short shorts around the house. turning up the ac did not help matters either, as he could not only now see your pretty legs but also the outline of your nipples through your tank tops. and although mingyu was a respectful man, at the end of the day, he was still just a man.
then came what broke the camel's back. mingyu knew that his niceness would one day be his downfall. if he'd known where it'd land him, he never wouldve offered to throw your laundry in with his as you came home from work one day, visibly exhausted at a full day of work under the summer heat.
as he separated the whites, mingyu had felt the soft touch of silk, instantly dreading what his hands had landed over before even having to take a look at it. he knew he shouldve ignored it and just thrown it in with the rest of the clothes, but your name was calling him. the frustration you had caused him since your arrival was beginning to cloud his mind, and without thinking, he was showing the white lace in his face, breathing deeply into it. the laundry took longer to get done that day, as he found himself occupied by more pressing manners before he could finally get to it.
he didnt mean for this to become a habit, except that it ended up becoming exactly that. mingyu might've been a pervert (something he did not want to admit), but he was also a smart man. he would always wait for you to either leave home or head to one of your long showers before sneaking into your room and digging through your dirty clothes, always sighing in relief at finding a brand new used pair of panties to steal away for the next hour. he'd sneak past vernon back into his room and play with himself with the aid of your scent on his nose, imagining what it would be like to have the real thing pressed up against his face, whining as he shoved his tongue inside you.
mingyu, despite thinking himself to be smart and discreet and not a pervert!, was, as previously stated, just a man. which meant doom would eventually find him. unfortunately for him, that day was today. although he was a calculated man, he did not prepare himself for the unexpected, which took form in you barging into his room right before you actually stepped into your awaiting shower to ask if he had extra shampoo, since you had run out. your sentence was never able to leave your mouth, though, as you stopped in your tracks at the sight of your baby pink panties in the hands of your new roommate.
'g-gyu?'
startled, mingyu jumped immediately, making a very stupid bad attempt at covering his dick with the small fabric of your panties. 'WAIT. its not-it's not what you think!', eyes frantically staring at you, heart going a mile per minute.
'is that .. mingyu? are those my panties? what ..'
'it's .. i .. fuck. i'm SO sorry. i cant- i swear its not as bad as it looks. it was an accident, i-' he went on like this for a good minute, stuttering half-thought out excuses that wouldnt hold up in court, much less to the owner of the panties.
you hated to admit it, but the depravity of the act had you throbbing in an embarrassing amount of time.
you'd noticed the occasional absence of your panties, chalking it up to you misplacing them or simply not keeping track of their location at all times (i mean, they were just panties to you), but you never wouldve imagined that the gigantic hunk of your roommate wouldve been stealing them away just to catch a whiff of your scent behind your back. you were beyond embarrassed at the thought, but the space between your thighs burned like crazy at knowing how badly mingyu mustve wanted you.
you turned around, terrifying mingyu at the thought of you marching out of his room to go tell everyone about his perverted actions. you surprised him when you simply locked the door, stepping further into the room until you were sitting almost on his lap, only thing separating you being your thin robe.
'mingyu .. have you been stealing my underwear?', you reached over slowly to put your hand atop his, which was located above his throbbing dick, panties in a tight grip.
'i-i didnt, i-' you cut him off, pressing yourself closer to him, lifting your free hand to his chin in order to make him look into your eyes.
'needed me that bad, baby? you couldve just told me. there was no need to go around sniffing my panties like a little perv', there was both lust and mockery behind your tone, making mingyu's mind cloud even more.
'n-not a pervert. just wa-wanted you, i swear', you had taken his hand away from covering his penis, now softly rubbing him with your own, causing him to close his eyes and let out a breath of relief.
'do you want the real thing, baby? wanna feel what you've been missing? taste it?'
that alone broke mingyu's resolve. now that he knew you wanted him too, he could no longer hold back from taking what he'd craved all these weeks.
moments later you were laying face up, six foot man at the foot of the bed whining against your cunt. his sounds of pleasure were making you dizzy, hearing the frantic way he ground his hips against the mattress, seeking relief from the effects of your cunt on his tongue.
he ate you out to completion, exhausting you after just one orgasm, but he wasnt finished. immediately after, he flipped you over, placing you on your hands and knees above the bed, once more shoving his face into your cunt, muttering something about 'want it from behind, baby, taste so fucking good'.
he continued to moan and groan against your cunt, with you pushing your ass against his face and forcing his head closer to you with your hand. you were completely gone on the pleasure, crying out his name, praying to god vernon wasnt home to hear your embarrassing moans.
'wanted you so bad. made me go crazy parading yourself around me like that, thinking i could hold back'.
'wanted to pound you into the mattress the moment i saw you. you're so pretty, fuck'.
'pretty cunt smells so good. tastes even better. all mine now, right, baby?'
the depravity of his words against your cunt drove you to your end once again, falling limp on his bed once he separated himself from you.
'baby, we're not done yet', chuckled mingyu as he turned you around once more. 'need you to take my cock, okay, pretty? need that cunt wrapped around me'.
he entered you quickly after that, folding you like a pretzel in order to bury himself as deep as possible in you. 'fuck .. god baby, you've been keeping this pretty pussy from me. fucking dangling it in my face, knowing id snap and fuck you.' he groaned, lowering his face to your chest, tonguing along your nipples.
there were no thoughts in your mind. you were left with no ability to respond with anything other than loud whines of his name and cries for more.
''m gonna fuck you every day now, baby. gonna keep you in bed next to me every morning n give it to you. you dont know how much ive wanted you. shit. now you're mine to play with whenever i want, isnt that right? dont need your panties now that i have the real thing. n fuck its so warm n pretty too.' he rambled, steadily increasing the pace and force of his thrusts as he neared his climax.
yours arrived before his, the sporadical tightness of your cunt triggering his as he threw his head back with a loud cry of your name. careful not to let himself fall on top of you, he got up in search for wipes to clean you up with, soon after laying you down comfortably in his bed.
a few minutes of silence went by as he held your spent form. it took you a minute or so to catch your breath and gain your ability to speak properly again. 'sorry for taking your underwear without telling you ..' he said bashfully. a striking contrast from a few moments ago.
you giggled at his pout. 'its fine mingyu, its kind of embarrassing but .. it was kinda hot', you felt heat rise to your cheeks. his eyes perked up at that, a smirk replacing the pout on his face.
'oh? god, youre even more of a pervert, oh my god', he playfully laughed in your face.
'me?! you stole my panties, you degenerate!', you slapped bis shoulder in a force that he could only call delicate.
'but YOU wanted me to, didnt you? you little perv. it's okay baby, i'm a perv for you too. next time just give me your panties, baby.'
there was no winning with him, but it was fine. you could now both indulge each other in your depravity for one another, probably driving vernon crazy as his two roommates became an item.

air freshener w/poly woosan
It came as no surprise when San wrapped his arms around your waist and hoisted you up into his strong grip. His nose pressed into your neck as he inhaled deeply, sighing with the exhale.
“You smell of work,” he grumbled as he carried you through to the living room. He threw himself down on the couch, dragging you along with him. “That stupid lemon air freshener that Jaehyun keeps on his desk.”
You brought your blouse to your nose, sniffing it gently. Sure enough, behind the overwhelming scent of Wooyoung’s cologne (he wouldn't let you leave the house that morning without spritzing you a few times… possessive bastard) there was a hint of lemon. It was barely noticeable, but to San, it was the end of the world.
“You smell of that little weirdo again?” Wooyoung called as he poked his head through from the kitchen. He had that stupid joke apron on, the one San bought him for his birthday, and you tried to hold back the giggle that rose up your throat. The frown on his face and the cooking knife in his hand were hardly helping to make him look anything other than silly. Not that you'd ever complain about your boyfriends being adorable. “Seriously, babe! Who keeps an air freshener on their desk?”
“Someone who wants their work space to smell nice?” you lay back in San’s arms, letting him manhandle you a little until you were sat sideways in his lap, legs kicked out to the side. “Maybe he doesn't like the overwhelming scent of men’s cologne that comes from me day in, day out.”
Wooyoung rolled his eyes over dramatically.
“You smell perfectly fine, brat,” he scowled, “besides, maybe we don't want you coming home smelling like another man’s lemon air freshener!”
“It's hardly like he can control where the smell goes,” you sighed, “you're just being jealous over nothing again.”
Wooyoung went to open his mouth, probably about to threaten you with a punishment, but San shooed him away with a flick of the wrist. With a perfectly on-character stomp of his foot, the shorter man retreated into the kitchen to finish whatever masterpiece he'd decided to cook for the three of you today.
But you knew you weren't safe, even with Wooyoung gone. While he may have expressed his feelings loudly and proudly, the man behind you wasn't exactly the silent type himself. You felt his breath against your ear, and you internally groaned.
“We're not jealous, baby,” San whispered against your ear, as if trying to soothe an angry dog. You weren't angry - far from it, you actually thought this was quite amusing - but San had always been the calmer, less explosive of your two boyfriends. “We just like it when you smell of us. You know how we get…”
He kissed the shell of your ear softly. Without prior knowledge of San, it wouldve been hard to tell whether it was an entirely innocent gesture or not. You knew your boyfriend like the back of your hand, though. Before the night was over, you were going to smell like them again.
“Possessive?” You cocked your eyebrow at the man. He chuckled.
“Call it primal instinct, babe,” he said.
You snort as you giggle.
“My boyfriends are cavemen, got it.”
You could see the muscles in his jaw clenching and unclenching, and you couldn't help but let out a little giggle. It was always fun to say the role of the mouse, tempting fate by dancing around the big bad wolf’s feet. He was often more patient than the fox that was now humming a little tune in the kitchen. One would pounce immediately, while the other would let you play a little.
You were grateful you'd landed in San’s lap rather than Wooyoung’s. After the day you'd had, being a little shit sounded like the perfect way to relieve some stress.
“You're pushing your luck,” he sang in your ear, “you're lucky I sent Youngie away. If it were up to him you'd already be bent over and your cheeks would be a pretty shade of pink, hm?”
“Yeah, because he's a brat who can't stand it when anyone else gets the last word…”
San chucked darkly into your hair as his hands began to roam across your body. They were gentle, yet possessive, only further proving your point.
“He's the brat?” San shook his head, “I think we both know that you're the only one guilty of that. Youngie just doesn't like it when you argue for the sole purpose of riling us up…”
“It's not for the sake of riling you up,” you whine as if you're not lying through your teeth. As if you're not fully aware of the fact that San knows you too well to believe you, “you're being jealous over nothing. It's an air freshener, it's not like he's been fucking me over his desk.”
And just like that, a switch flipped. Whether it was the blatant lie about their jealousy, or the final comment you made that pushed him over the edge, you couldn’t care less. All you cared about was the dangerous look that swam through his dark eyes. He looked ready to pounce and if you said much else, you had no doubt that he would.
His hands came to a still when they reached your hips. Strong fingers squeezed your flesh, no doubt leaving bruises in their wake with how hard his grip was. You should've winced, but you smiled instead, getting some sort of sick enjoyment out of the dull ache you felt.
“Bold words for someone entirely at my mercy,” San growled in your ear, sharp teeth nipping at the lobe, “you know just as well as we know that that man wouldn't even dare touch what's not his. He doesn't have the balls to even look you in the eyes, hm? Let alone fuck you…”
You squirmed in his lap, or at least tried to. The grip he had on your hips was tight, and it only grew tighter as you wriggled around. Your fun lasted just a few seconds before he pinned you in place again.
“Fucking behave,” he said with gritted teeth, “don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing, brat. Carry this on and you’ll get nothing.”
“I’m not doing anything,” you grumbled. He just laughed. Loud and brash as he tipped his head back against the couch.
“Good one, babe,” he squeezed your hip one final time before letting his hand move to rest upon the button of your pants, “now shut up and let me remind you who you belong to.”

Helluva Boss is Hella Sexist to Both Men and Women - Part 1
Tumblr media
Just saw a video about Helluva Boss and whether its sexist or not with portraying its female characters and that got me thinking:
Are Helluva Boss' writers misogynists?
No. No one INTENTIONALLY writes misogynistic material unless you're Bruce Timm or Blizzard but what they're writing DEFINITELY COMES ACROSS AS SEXIST because the writers are so busy juggling every plot thread and character arc at once, they forget to write the main fucking characters apart from Blitzo. ESPECIALLY its female characters like Millie, Loona, Stella and Octavia.
You can use good faith arguments until you're blue in the face, but the truth of the matter is treating ALL of their main female characters as vehicles for the male characters' development with little characterisation beyond that IS misogynistic.
Tumblr media
Lets start with Millie.
Millie is the most egregious case since she's one of the main employees at IMP yet we barely see Millie do anything other than be Moxxie's wife or a killing machine. And the fact her only s1 episode "where we see her family " plot getting sidelined for a Moxxie plot is unbelievable. Millie is by far the show's most promising character you can write mountains of stories about. But instead the show makes her a crazy lovable girlboss TM without any goals or aspirations and only exists as Moxxie's support system. Shes fine if shes meant to be a side character but shes in a main ensemble cast and you CANT have one of your main 4 characters be just the cool badass wife who can benchpress a tractor. That's fine for a tumblr art post, not for a character in a professional episodic animated tv show
Tumblr media
Loona is supposed to be 21 or something yet she acts like every surly teenager who abuses her adoptive father Blitz, who's done nothing but love and cherish her. Yet she always beats him up whenever Blitz is merely in her vicinity. And so far we havent got an episode or even A SCENE where Loona and Blitz just sit down and unpack everything. That one flashback of Loona being from a hellhound orphanage/pound wouldve been so interesting to explore as a full episode, but it was only set up so Blitz can have a panic attack. So, much like Millie, Loona's character arcs and plotlines get shifted aside for more dumb scenes and Brandon Rogers references. Loona doesn't even change her attitude towards others throughout the series so far and remains as sardonic and bitchy as ever, cos heaven forbid we have our characters develop. Fans wont buy our overpriced merch of our furry waifu otherwise.
Tumblr media
Octavia only exists in the story to make Stolas look like the most wholesome dada so the fans will completely forget hes in an unhealthy power-imbalanced relationship with Blitz, a lower class imp, purely for sex but then grows romantically attached to which Blitz adamantly refuses to see it that way. (Stolas also has imps as servants which he treats with apathy or contempt so already sets a bad precedent) but circling back to Octavia, Stolas claims to love his daughter very much but we've never shown that often BUT STOLAS DOESNT EVEN CARE ABOUT OCTAVIA UNLESS SHES IN ACTUAL DANGER COS HE GETS DISTRACTED BY HORNY BLITZY OR IS TOO IMCOMPETENT TO DO ANYTHING PROACTIVE
In Loo Loo Land, he learns to be more considerate of her feelings and comforts her after ignoring her throughout the whole episode. What happens in the next Stolas and Octavia episode? Octavia gets dismissed by Stolas AGAIN, this time by his ex-wife, when she asks about a star event THEY PLANNED TO GO TO, so she runs away to the human world to see it for herself. And yet who consoles her at the observatory scene? FUCKING LOONA OF ALL PEOPLE! WHY CANT STOLAS GO UP THERE, FINALLY FINDING HER AT LAST AND TALK TO HER? YKNOW THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT WHY STOLAS IS IN THE HUMAN REALM TO BEGIN WITH??! HE'S WAITING AROUND IN A SITCOM AUDIENCE WHILE BLITZO DOES HIS FAILING ATTEMPTS AT COMEDY
Octavia's own feelings about her relationship with her dad, how her parents divorce has affected her, her relationship with her mother Stella, ITS ALL SIDELINED for more self-indulgent Stolitz shipping. I feel so sorry for Octavia, she deserves better. She should be adopted by Blitz, he's more an actual father figure than Stolas.
Tumblr media
And finally, Stella. Stella is an interesting case cos I have no qualms with having a bitchy abusive wife villain for Stolas to fight back against. Im totally fine with Stolas standing up to Stella and finally divorcing that bitch. But I really wish Stella had more presence throughout the first season, constantly bringing up tension and stress to piss off Stolas, since she likes tormenting him so much. Cos piling all of her insults and cartoonishly over the top bitchiness in one episode (The Circus) was too much and with how that episode woobified Stolas already, it only added to the problem. Nothing inherently wrong character-wise with Stella, shes established as a unrepentant bitch and stays that way. She is ultimately a vehicle for Stolas' character development but shes not a main character so its fine. The story is not about her.
But I find it pretty rich that the show treats being Loona being abusive to her father figure for no good reason like a joke, whereas Stella's abuse of Stolas about to slap him is portrayed as a serious, shocking moment.
So in conclusion, Helluva Boss DOES push several negative stereotypes of women. The one-note girlboss wife who's plotlines always get shafted in support of the male characters (Millie), the teenager who's desperate for paternal love from her father, leaving her bored and neglectful but the father in question does some bare minimum effort and that's suddenly okay in her eyes (Octavia) and the double standard that abuse is funny when a woman is hitting a man (Loona and Blitzo). Except when it isnt (Stella and Stolas)
This show is a fucking mess: part 1
(I will elaborate on the male characters treatment in another post. If I forgot anything or made a mistake, let me know, im always open for feedback!
And yes, I'm aware I omitted Verosika Mayday from this list because she's ultimately harmless as a character and only exists as a rival to Blitz. Also she only appeared in two episodes so I dont have much to say about her.)

Imagine everyone in genshin could physically see when you lag. Collecting some sunsettia then my ping sky rockets to 999 and im frozen for a good minute in the middle of doing an attack 😭

Esp since i get them stuck then just start laughing my ass off 💀
This gif took me out this is so funny 😭 i had to put it here LMAO
Tumblr media
I accidentally made Venti jump on top of a Aranara house when I was first exploring Sumeru and did that "flying in the air/jumpin down pose" but just. Through a palm leaf, he's just fluttering in the wind it was painfully ironic 😭

So, When i first started Genshin I was on some Shit.
I had only rlly played one or two open world games before, and even then not for a long time, so I just like did the stupidest things
I was fighting in those early domains in Mondstadt right, and I had just gotten to the cutscene with Lisa and Traveler, I think thats all who were there
And I had just finished the last battle in the chamber, so I had just deployed Baron Bunny from Amber but killed the monsters before it could go off-
SO IN THE MIDDLE OF LISA TALKING- JUST AN EXPLOSION HAPPENS STAGE LEFT OFF SCREEN AND INTERUPTS HER LMFAO
I LITERALLY APOLOGIZED TO LISA I WAS CRYING LAUGHING SO HARD
(no pls dont make her aware of that for me she would bully me forever)
I FELT LIKE I WAS JUST CAUSING THESE CHARACTERS PROBLEMS RIGHT OFF THE BAT LMAO
And I also didnt know about boss monsters yet (i didnt watch anyone play genshin/know where or what they were lol goin in blindfolded essentially)
So im running around Mond. and I start fighting a Cryo whopperflower for a little while, im not high level yet, and deadass MID SWORD SWING-
I GLITCH THRU A TINY CRACK IN THE ROCKS BC ITS OPEN ON THE TOP RIGHT??!! SO IT WAS JUST SOLID GROUND TO ME AND IM JUST FALLING-??!!

Talk about an all-knowing creator god 😭😭
Thatd be so embarassing if they remembered that 💀 aether would literally bring it up all the time to get to me
AMBER WOULD PITY ME AND HAVE SYMPATHEY NOO
Then later on in Liyue, theres a chest underneath these guard statues hidden by a bush right? And one of those Geoculus star things too, and i have my compass out trying to find all the Geoculuses(?)
And Im like, " ok towards the statue??"
THEN I JUST PLUMMET- AND I IMMEDIATELY INSTINCTIVELY LIKE, SO HEARTBROKEN AND DISTRESSED SOUNDING "nOPLEASENOTAGAIN- oh, ohhh my godd" my heart was racinggg i literally sighed and I sat there for a minute breathin heavy 😭😭
My team wouldve had a heart attack and field day with me doin shit like that, theyd be like
"This our god? This you?"
Aether has so much blackmail on me 🥲
If I had a mora for everytime I fell on a boss monster in Genshin Impact, I would have 3 mora.

So I finished act 1 of part 2...
The storytelling is really, really, really bad.
We dont explore the Dreamseekers hometown. We barely know the Dreamseeker at all. We are introduced to way too many character and we do not spend any time with them. What in the world does Vita and Lambda's scenes add? I am genuinely curious what purpose they have. What do they add to this story right now?
I still barely know Coralie or Helia. Sena I can pick apart more personality than those two, but at the same time I feel extremely disconnected from the Dreamseeker as a character.
Holy shit I can just imagine how theyre like for a new player. Those two are complete unknows at the end of act 1. What do we learn about them? That theyre A-rank Schicksal Valkyries? A new player has absolutely no idea what those mean. Outside of surface level stuff, I dont know them at all. I barely even know their personality or how they think about each other.
In terms of story, we just go in a circle, and I have no idea why any of this matters AT ALL. The fact that the story starts 3+ months AFTER Coralie and Helia land on Mars is THE WORST DECISION THEY COULD HAVE MADE.
WE JUST NEED THE CONTEXT FOR "what's normal" FOR THE REST TO INSTANTLY BE BETTER.
Litrerally if we started with just Coralie and Helia going to Mars and exploring it for a bit, I would have very few issues with the story so far.
Part 2 is like starting part 1.5 after Seele is already in the Sea of Quanta.
Part 2 is like starting part 1 after chapter 9.
Part 2 is like starting HSR after already going to Jarilo-VI.
Part 2 is like starting GI without the intro sequence.
Coralie and Helia going to Mars is that missing intro context.
Part 2 so far has been a fever dream.
It makes me really sad. Because if this was my first experience with HI3, I would have dropped it by now.
I want to hope this has potential. I'd hate to drop HI3, I'm too attached to it, but this has been a really bad start. It doesnt even have a hook! What should I care about when everything is strange and I don't know what to wonder about? I'm wondering about everything! I'm confused! I don't even have a baseline because nothing from part 1 carries over to part 2! They dont even have the benefit of having a part 1 to their story! And that's fine - if part 2 sets down a new baseline but they skip over that part because Ooh cool city andhokyn.,kbg nmcl sdklo THEY USED TO WRITE SUCH GOOD STORIES! IM CRYING PART 2 STARTE DIASO HDkjnkjhvgb
i really wanted this to be good. i really wanted to like this, i wanted a new story to invest myself in.
im actually breaking down. out of all the ways hi3 has made me cry, having a shitty start to part 2 is not the way i thought i was going to cry today
they didnt lay any groundwork at all. what the fuck?
part 1 lays down more groundwork in its intro cutscene than part 2 did in the whole of act 1. at least we had some idea as to whats going on back then. i can barely tell the personalities of all these new characters.
coralie and helia going to mars could have fixed so much. why didnt they just include that part?i dont get it. the rest isnt even that bad if we just had any groundwork at all. add coralie and helia going to mars and cut out the vita and lambda scenes because part 2 really does not need more new characters right away, and part 2 wouldve been a lot better already.

ITS THE MATTER OF IT … chapter 4
tw: mentions of busts, nasty things.
for a better reading experience, please listen to the following songs “i will possess your heart” by chained to the bottom of the ocean and “kaizoku” by ibaraki on spotify, apple music, or youtube. enjoy!
your heart was racing, but not out of fear.
not by anxiety, but by defense.
“its been a while, y/n.” sukuna said, how could he say that when you havent even met him before? “its been a while since ive seen that face.”
so this is what he kind of looked like. tattoos on his face made yuuji look rugged. but if you had to ruin it, then oh well be it. you should arm yourself, you had thought to yourself. it seemed like sukuna already understood it.
“theres no need to defend yourself, i already said you wouldnt be harmed unless you provoke me.” he chuckled, getting closer and examining you. his eyes felt like he would’ve devoured you, like a damn maniac. he more than likely would have if it was his thing or not.
“the only thing thats changed is your tits.” he said amused. he eyed them, licking his teeth as if wanted to bite them. you wouldve felt your face get hot from the king of curses talking about it….
but you didnt.
“what is it.” you meant to sound like a question was being asked, but because of your tone and demeanor it sounded like you were talking at sukuna, not to. luckily for you, he didnt catch onto that, instead he looked happy that you were at least speaking.
“you know what,” sukuna paused, lowering his gaze. “you surely dont think that i was just making an appearance to say hi, do you? or do you not believe you are the reinca-“
“–i am not some reincarnation!” you growled out, cutting him off. that shouldve been a mistake on your end, but for some reason he didnt care. “im just … me.” you trailed off.
“you look the same way you did a thousand years ago, little one.” he chuckled, practically in your face. you bet he only smelled decent since yuuji was decent with hygiene. “whether you like it or not, you are. eventually, youll grow happy that you are— or maybe just comfortable with the fact that you and i…” he took his finger and pointed back and forth between himself and you.
“we have history. whether the memories or knowledge comes to you, we do. and there isnt anything you can do.” he laughed, his pearly whites on display and he put his hands on your shoulders. “now that you are here though…”
“why didnt you say anything back then.” he asked, when the fuck did he have you cornered? this was bad, real bad.
“yes, because i completely remember what exactly happened during a thousand years ago.” you sarcastically said, rolling your eyes. “remind me of what happened with–“ you made air quotation marks with your fingers, “me and you?”
“we were close, you had feelings i guess yaddy yadda yadda.. you developed hanahaki disease, you died.” sukuna recalled, growing sarcastic as well. “why didnt you say anything to me?” he asked, growing serious again.
“realistically speaking, if i were to admit my feelings to you, you either wouldnt care, youd laugh in my face while laying down with another woman, or would just kill me and move on with your life.” you said in a matter of factly tone, he was a cursed spirit after all.
could he even experience love like emotions at all?
“you could be wrong, considering how strong you were before.” he said, which made your ears ring.
did this motherfucker call you weak?
“are you saying im weak?” you asked, planning to make a move, which could result in sudden death or a missing limb if he felt forgiving.
“not exactly, but since you are reincarnated, we never know if youre rusty or your strength depleted.” he said, taking several steps back. “if you land a blow on me, ill take back what i said, and ill settle with any conditions you may have for me.”
“and if not, then you have to accept that you are what people say you are, and youll have to work under me.” he said—
a challenge.
and a challenge that granted you authority in some areas.
…..
……
a challenge that seemed unrealistic!
you had been working your ass off to land a blow, not even bothering to use your domain. you were simply out of breath, your hair a mess from the constant movement.
“this isnt the beginning of you, y/n.” sukuna had said with his hands in his pockets. he was certainly worried you had lost your abilities over a thousand years, but he also thought you were always a teasing woman.
come on, y/n, think.
think, goddamnit, think!
would it.. work on him?
you ran towards him knowing he would throw his hit first—
until black particles floated in the air, forming in the shape of the human skeleton. sukuna’s eyes widen, focusing on the black matter in-front of him, bringing its fist back to throw a punch—
until he realized that you were also landing a blow into his abdomen, now having to deal with a blow in the face but also in his beloved stomach.
a reversed curse technique, is what made you, you. you could separate your soul from your body into black matter, allowing the soul to fight with you, along side of your original body. making you somewhat immortal, only in certain circumstances would it kill you.
only one knew of this technique… only one had done it successfully a thousand years ago, against sukuna, and won.
sukuna had looked away and spat, laughing at nothing. you had landed a blow– two matter of fact. he then looked at you, and smiled.
“what do you feel?” he asked, he knew you had to have felt it, too.
deja vu.
“ive… been here before.” you admitted, watching him smile the wicked grin he carried.
———
“so… what did you tell him?”yuuji asked, eating his burger on your bed that you specifically told him not to do. he had laid down plastic wrap around him though to not ruin your satin silk bedding, which you’d appreciated.
“he doesn’t cause mass destruction, him not killing anyone unless necessary, and how hed teach me some things since i had won.” you said, eating a chicken philly. yuuji had since learned you loved them, occasionally eating steak philly but preferring chicken. so, the boy had brought you one. what a sweetie.
“oh! well.. thats good— hey i think we should sleep, since nobara had planned for us to hang out tomorrow all day.” he reminded, getting up and leaning down to hug you.
when did you both decide to start hugs, was beyond you.
“goodnight!” yuuji said, waving at you and you only replying with a “night.” made him smile. only when he reached his bed was when it went down hill for him…
or uphill?
“can you please stop talking about it?” yuuji asked sukuna, sukuna had decided to breakdown what had happened with you and him. but sukuna was infact a perv— of course he was, hes a curse!
“you dont look at y/n and think about how deep you could go in that–“ yuuji had cut sukuna off,
“stop it!” yuuji had growled out at him, only causing sukuna to laugh uncontrollably at his little outburst. “shes more than that!”
“well of course she is, but you gunna sit here and tell me you wouldnt tap that?” sukuna had asked, growing curious. yuuji had stayed quiet, ignoring the question until he thought about you.
the way you said his name, the way you walk, how you didnt take anything, the way you eat…
the way your shirt would tighten around certain areas of your body, the length of your legs. he had let out a frustrated sigh. he would feel bad if he did anything like that to the thought of you, like he was the biggest perv in the world…
but did you think like that about him, too?

Okay @hateweasel fine. I will say my thoughts.
Putting this under a cut because it's a LONG post.
Renault has been in Bonnard's house since 7, he says so himself, everybody knows this. He is a victim of Bonnard's grooming just as Gilbert is, he was raised by Bonnard (which is, side note, terrifying to think about!)
It's also commonly known that Renault is the son of a farmer in Southern Italy. In the 1870s, when Renault wouldve been taken by Bonnard, Italy was going through a HUGE Agrarian Crisis, many farmers ended up landless or their plots grew smaller and smaller, causing low income across farming communities throughout Italy. In 1900 many emigrants were actually driven off their own land. Renault's family was dirt poor, RENAULT was dirt poor, and he was taken in by a rich man who gave him a luxurious life even for that of a servant. To a 7 year old, that's everything. Bonnard is not only a father figure (again, terrifying to think about) but is ALSO the man who "saved" Renault from poverty.
On top of that, Renault is canonically described as Bonnard's "favorite disciple" (it says this in an art book), he's complimented and showered with praises by him, he's given attention and is told he's someones favorite, and he has been since 7 years old.
Now for all of that to be taken away because some guy shows up in YOUR house? Suddenly this stranger is the favorite and you're left behind? That's going to hurt! None of this is Gilbert's fault, nor is it Renault's, all of the blame falls on Bonnard. But Renault can't blame Bonnard because, to Renault, he can't be a bad guy, he was that one that saved him! He's not a bad guy, GILBERT is the bad guy here! (He's not, obviously, but Renault has been groomed into the mindset that Bonnard can't do wrong, even though he very much can and very much does).
Tumblr media
Okay now, when it comes to this scene! The Renault stabbing scene. I think it's fairly clear that Renault doesn't ACTUALLY want to hurt Gilbert, Gilbert himself says afterward that Renault was scared and that his grip was weak and shakey. The initial thought of stabbing Gilbert with the knife is a thought that Renault DOESN'T want, he wants to get rid of Gilbert, sure, but he doesn't want to hurt him.
He's scared of his own thoughts of hurting Gilbert.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the actual fight scene between them, Renault puts Gilbert in a chokehold (once again, described by Gilbert as weak and shakey) amd there's some sculpting tool on the ground. Renault's plan is that Gilbert will grab the tool to stab RENAULT in self defense.
In Renault's mind, if HE gets hurt by GILBERT, then Gilbert will have to leave and Renault will get attention from Bonnard again, because he was the one who got hurt. This is a drastic way of thinking but it also makes sense if you're a victim of grooming and believe you're at risk of losing the only person you can trust (Bonnard is not trustworthy at all, please keep in mind that Renault has been manipulated since 7.)
That doesn't work. Obviously. And Gilbert stabs himself in the arm instead, leading Bonnard to believe that Renault really did stab him, which results in Renault being given a bloody nose by Bonnard.
Side Tangent: That scene makes me so so sad not just because it shows how Bonnard is physically abusive to his servants, including the one he deems his "favorite" but also because Renault is still willing to forgive Bonnard afterwards. He still goes out of his way to make sure BONNARD is okay instead of himself even after he was hit by him. It's incredibly sad but also, unfortunately, realistic to how people in similar situations to Renault will act. It's just really sad.
Btw, Bonnard only stops hitting Renault when Gilbert steps in and says thet he was the one who stabbed himself because APPARENTLY one bloody nose wasn't enough.
Renault doesn't hate Gilbert, they actually seem to get along pretty damn well after the stabbing scene. They start planting flowers together and Renault tries to protect Gilbert from Auguste when he shows up, even calling Gilbert a member of the household ("I will not let you take a member of this household by force!"). From the few panels we get to see of Renault and Gilbert's dynamic, WITHOUT Bonnard getting in the way, they act a bit like brothers. (I've made a post on how Renault acts like am older brother before and how he probably picked that hp from his OWN older brothers). We just don't get enough of Renault and Gilbert together for them to actually build upon that relationship, because of course, Bonnard and Auguste get in the way again.
THEY are the villains here, they are the ones that want to hurt people, the ones who made Renault and Gilbert so reliant to the point that they become irrational and scared if their abusers - who happen to be the people that raised them- show signs of leaving.
If the roles were reversed, and Renault was the one to run away and live with Gilbert, and Auguste began doting on Renault and ignoring Gilbert, I 100% believe Gilbert would've reacted in a similar way Renault did. That's why they're parallels to one another.
TL;DR Renault doesn't want to hurt anyone, he just wants to be loved, and the person who "loves" him, just so happens to be an abusive creep who's manipulated Renault in having to rely on him for everything. His actions come from a place of fear, not hatred. Fear of losing his parental figure, fear of losing the place he lives in, fear of losing someone that "loves" him, the fear of losing everything.
This entire rant is kind of messy and I apologize for that, I just wanted to write but I didn't plan in advance I was just winging it, point is:
Renault Agricola I will always defend you 🫡

real found family is when you find out youre the last in a series of clones made of a long-dead murder victim who was in fact killed by your creator who has been posing as your parent figure (but an adoptive one of course. he generously stepped up and took you in) which really sucks and then youre haunted by the idea of the person youd been created in the image of and wonder what makes you resemble them and what exactly makes you supposedly a better version of them and then your fucked up parent figure dies and at first it feels so lonely but then its not so bad because youve found people who actually care about you and consider you family and its great but there is a void and a sense of loss you cant explain and you realize that for years youd been mourning a family that never existed outside of a fake tragic story sold to you by your late fucked up parent figure and meanwhile the closest equivalents to them (none of whom had ever met you and never even knew about the possibility of your existence) have been so forgotten so lost to time that at this point no one even knows how many of them had to live and die that way because that knowledge died with your fucked up parent figure and there are so many things you dont understand and youre angry on behalf of your younger self who had to live so alone and so unloved. and then one day years later one of your friends who is actually a god and the son of the island you live on and the source of all magic and who has been growing and changing and along with him the land and magic have been changing as well and developing new kinds of magic never seen before realizes theres someone trapped in the in between realm someone who couldnt become one with the boiling isles after death and while theyve been dormant for who knows how long theyve sensed something has changed and theyve woken up and he talks to his almighty star child friend and together they figure out what to do about it and they manage to summon that presence into the demon realm and you realize that its literally the person you are a clone of and neither of you have any idea what to do about it not to mention this person has no clue what had transpired and whats going on and its really awkward and you have a bit of an existential crisis but then you kinda bond and she warms up to you and as she pieces things together and gets to know you she starts seeing you as her son and well its as close as it gets doesnt it but she wont push that on you she understands if this is too weird for you after all this is all a part of a very painful aspect of your life and your past and much if it is painful for her too but when you think about it something about this brings you immense comfort as you think about your younger self and realize that the story about dead relatives wasnt entirely false after all and though it feels naive its like a retroactively comforting thought that even back then even as a lonely unloved child there was someone out there who wouldve loved you and was waiting to meet you one day and when you tell her about all of this she says that she wants nothing more than to have been there for you and watched over you and let you know that you deserved so much better. and then you hug because shes your mama. idk

Greetings everyone! It is 4am and you know what that means. Thats right, its time to read ACOMAF :) chapters 41 this time. enjoy
Chapter 41
What we're just smashcutting straight to Velaris?? we're not gonna see Feyre talk about all the shit the mortal queens just said with her sisters??
ugh dont remind me of the fact that amren drinks blood but only animal blood because human blood is too watery or whatever. she couldve been my vampire girlie in this a/b/o world but instead shes just a lame disappointment in a lame disappointment world. that also doubles as an a/b/o world, lest we forget that
ughhhhh dont remind me of the fae not being affected by iron
Okay, i have to admit this line kinda slaps: "Maybe then Elain would get an engagement ring that wasn't forged out of hatred and fear."
Yeah Feyre, I hate to say it but you failed HARD as an ambassador, you are so bad at politics, but technically this was all Rhysands idea so I'd say it was his responsibility to make sure youre not bad at politics, so Im blaming him for all this
I made a joke in my last post about how the night court is really US governmentcore and now Cassian is like "we could just kill the current queens and put queens in place thatll cooperate with us" and the only reason Rhys doesnt wanna do it is because it would take too long and because they dont know what effect this will have on the book, not because, i dont know, he'd be interfering with foreign affairs and robbing all of humanity of their agency. I mean, its a monarchy so i guess humanity didnt have too much of a choice when they ascended to the throne, but atleast those queens have their best interests at heart and dont cooperate with former slave-owners
Why does Feyre care so muh about Mor potentially hurting Azriels feelings, is he not acting like Tamlin at the start of ACOMAF where he was all like "no Feyre, you cant go to the sper dangerous place, its dangerous"
Okay so, the oldest queen is the queen of The Black Land, which is a very vaguely africa-coded place, where humans were born slaves to the fae, unlike everyone else where I guess humans had to get captured by the fae to be enslaved OBVIOUSLY she doesnt wanna cooperate with fae, shes even more justified in her decision in my eyes
But then Im thinking, why can she even decide what happens with that little piece of land, Im guessing thats not part of the black land so would that not fall under the jurisdiction of one of the other queens? Honestly, they shouldve just spoken to each queen alone, I get that theyre strapped for time but im sure they couldve forged atleast one alliance without the oldest queen speaking for all of them there. Also, from a doylist perspective, it wouldve been good padding since sjm insists on making her books stupidly long and it wouldve probably given us a more functional government structure because right now it just seems like these queens who allegedly each have a kingdom to run are just hanging out in the same palace all making collectively decisions for the entire continent, which is stupid
What is it with Sarah J Maas and portraying freedom fighters being very dedicated to their cause as a bad thing, sepcifically because its not very condusive to a romantic relationship? Like, in Crescent City Hunt was a rebel and he was in love with the leader of the rebellion before she was killed and he enslaved and its very tragic and he cant love anyone but her, but then he manages to move on and fall in love with Bryce and it turns out to be a better experience for him. Specifically, theres this one scene where he buys her this jade egg or maybe she buys him one i dont remember, and he reflects on how if he had given that kind of gift to his former lover she wouldve appreciated it for one second and then just let it rot on some shelf because she just had other things on her mind, and I thought that was an interesting perspective for their relationship, but now that we're getting a similar thing with Jurian and Miriam except Jurian isnt the love interest of the MC so hes more likely to get demonized it seems kinda weird innit
Oh boy we're gonna get the UTM reeanactment soon arent we. sighhhhhh
Btw what the hell is up with Mors truth powers. Apparently a lot of people in her bloodline have them?? What makes Mor so special then, i thought the reason she was special was because her power was unique. I guess its just uniquely strong then (FOR A WOMAN) but thats just lame and also weird imo
Oh the Hewn City is called 'Höhlenstadt' ['Cave City'] in german and I think that sounds pretty bad ngl. rare Alexandra Ernst L
Feyre keeps going about how Rhys is gonna risk everything for the sake of stopping the war and its like, girlie if you keep jacking him so hard youre gonna rip his dick off, but also, hes not gonna tell anyone where Velaris is right?? Like, it'll still be hidden and safe behind that force field, people are just gonna know of its existence now. And even if Veritas shows the queens Velaris by starting off with a birdseye view of Prythian and then zooming in, that wouldnt be enough for the mortal queens to figure out Prythians geography to the point where they could actually tell where it is, not the mention that Velaris is positioned in a way that makes any attacks, but especially attacks from the mortal land, extremely difficult
Feyre talking about the repressed desire she felt when she say Rhys all naked and vulnerable when he woke up from that nightmare is very inappropriate when you consider that he was dreaming about his rapist, but is also surprisingly relatable because I too like my men best when theyre submissive and crying. its a crime rhysand never ended up getting pegged tbh
Rhysand talking about how he cant bear the thought of Feyre mentally returning to UTM when she just barely managed to leave it behind is funny cuz its like, whos idea is it gonna be to dress Feyre up like she was when you were assaulting her UTM. i dont think its her
I dont know what it is but Im already so over this stupid plotline with Mor and Eris, maybe Im just tired cuz its early but god, i dont ever wanna hear about it again

Bloodsucker—prologue
Songs: interlude by muse/mcr
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your forest was dense, it was a mystery how you made your way through it without getting lost all thoes years ago. It wasnt the type of place to get people and thats what you liked about it. Your house was surrounded by dead flowers in a clearing close to the creek you were sitting at. Maybe you shouldn't have gone barefoot but its not like you would be risking wounds or sickness.
You were watching the rain make ripples in the creek water before you were rudely interrupted by the sound of punk music on the road above you. It was short lived as you spotted something on the road, seems like they were too late to notice as you heard the tires screech and the car plant into the tree in front of it.
Shaking your head at their misfortune you decided to get a closer look. Walking the bark of a tree closer to the place of accident like it was the floor of your home. You appreciated being able to defy gravity, climbing wouldve been achievable however this was a lot easier and it makes less noise. Finding purchase in the branches making sure to be hidden by the leaves.
You observed what you now recognized as four guys, they werent badly hurt but they were bound to have a few bruises each. One with lighter hair than the others, one with a fro, a short one and one that looked like he hadn't slept in a while, you wouldnt be surprised. You got bored after a while and moved to lay down on the branch you occupied knowing even if you did fall it wouldnt hurt you all that bad.
After watching them for a while you got bored with sitting there. You wanted badly to reveal yourself but you decided random person on a branch higher than a regular person could climb wasnt a good impression. You decided they might treat a bat better for whatever reason, bats are cool. Falling from your spot on the branch shifting as soon as you did you made your way to the trunk of the car.
Landing on it you could see the shortest but one closest to you jump a little. He tried to swat you away just to be met with you dodging and bearing your fangs at him. "I like this guy." He smirked moving to pet you.  You decided to take the compliment shifting back before he got the chance to touch you. "Im flattered." You laughed, leaning forward with your legs tucked under your thighs, hands pressed to the trunk at your sides, a fang filled smile on your face.

ME ME ME I DO I WANNA KNOW
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
UVE ENABLED ME okokokokok. the sky has been having troubles for fucking millenia for one reason: they cannot create life. they have TRIED they have sculpted THOUSANDS of lands and people and have tended to so much soil but it NEVER works. EVERY eclipse the sun and moon do to try and create life ONE more time and the stars gather around and HOPE but it always falls through.
eventually the tension from all of it became too much and on the very last time the moon and sun eclipsed, shadow snakes COVERING a freshly molded earth, and it didnt work, and it turned violent ! it started small, just an argument, but then crescents were chipped and sunrays where snapped.
heres a note !!!!! the sun and moon are Much, Much bigger than the tiny star gods that serve them. like maggots on a carcass. this is to say that when the forces that keep your "life" together clash hard, its hard to find stable ground! which is to say that heaven ran out of room and stars starting falling out of the sky.
these tiny gods, barely the size of mountains, started falling. some fell into deep cavities in the new earths trenches, others fell onto elavated land and stayed there, some startled crawling, and others fell onto mountains. it all ended the same either way !!!! bodies stacked ontop of each other, craddling each other, blood that kept crossing the line from blue to red to black over and over again, and the sky did not quiet.
EVENTUALLY through the gentle poking and prodding of exposed muscle from skidding on hard dirt and cracked open skulls that couldve either been Chosen Intimacy or a too tired attempt at continuing violence, blood started filling out the world. from those impaled on mountains water flowed down valleys that bigger gods didnt realise they made, flowing down into fingerprint indents that turned into ponds, and down into coasts and down into the trenches. if the stars in the trenches did not die when they fell they certainly died when they had drowned from their own blood and the blood coming from above !
give it a few days, a few storms, and the sun and moon did not even look at each other. they had not realized the newly filled oceans moved alongside the moon like it missed her. they did not realize tiny sprouts of green were filling alongside banks and coasts. they did not realize until fish, made out of recycled body parts, scales opalescent with mismatched colors, started crawling onto land.
and then they realised the one time they abandoned any care for creation, they made it.
storms picked up.
you wouldve thought thatd be a bad thing, but it just spread elements trapped on certain islands to others like a plague.
the early days were FILLED with STORMS and TRAGEDY but no matter How Hard the sun and moon tried life Kept Coming Back, not only that it fucking FLOURISHED !!!!!! and so they had to sit there as they watched their world evolve, start to have consciousness and culture as people started building their societies and finding the ghosts of the coast, the wild, the heights, and eventually when they died unimportant to a greater world, back to the depths where angry caretaker gods sat there and sapped away memory from the dead.
tl;dr the sun and moon Wanted to be in charge of MORE so they Eclipsed (you read into that) and then it kept not working so they beat each other up so hard it emptied heaven of its stars. and then the stars fell onto a very INCONVENIANTLY shaped earth that has sharp blunt edges and FALL DAMAGE and they die. not only do they die they die INTIMATELY !!!! + blood fills up EVERYTHING so theres oceans and rivers now -> the blood makes things come ALIVE FOR ONCE -> divorced sky gods HATE THAT so they try to kill it and FAIL !!!!!!! and now theres life in plants and animals and people ! the ghosts of the stars aka minor gods that fell haunt mountains, coasts, plains, and the bottom of the ocean! and thats the creation myth!
NOTES ALSO. BC THIS SHIT IS DENSE I HAD FUN
the four major locations of ocean, coast, plains and mountain are important bc they have different USES and POWERS and shit. like for example the depths aka the ocean contain the lost ! no living thing SEES the bottom of the ocean bc THATS THE LAND OF THE DEAD !!!!!! THERES A HIERARCHY OF GODS THAT MAKE THE PLACE RUN AND EVERYTHING!!! the spirits that go there are protected/trapped by guardians, are taken care of/subdued by caretakers, and have their senses and identity slowly stripped away until theyre dissolved oxygen in the ocean by weavers !!!!
HOWEVER !!!!!! THE SKY IS EMPTY RIGHT ? AND THE SUN AND MOON FUCKING HATE EACH TOHER. SO THEY HAVE TO FORCIBLY PUT DISTANCE IN THERE! so they take spirits that die as heroes, or important in some way, and make them into NEW stars !!!! to "commemerate their memory" HOWEVER ! the new stars are cursed to have their name forgotten. people will know of legends and titles and ideas, but NOT people.
:33 AN THATS THE CREATION MYTH

Gimme song drabble number 87 for your au pls :3 (enables you enables you enables you)
HI WYN THANK U FOR ENABLING ME HE HE <33333
like ive done before discussion will be under the cut!
87. 20 Something – SZA
“he’s a child,” eda says, because she can’t deny it anymore, that the little creature she thought was some sort of odd dog that talks and mimics her and watches her with wide eyes—of course he’s a kid. how could he be anything else?
beside her, the owl beast squawks something, loud in the way it tends to be. king, on the couch, repeats the shriek right back, and the owl beast huffs at him, tossing her head.
“oh, hush,” eda tells it, moving to nudge king. “c’mon, buddy.”
his eyes light up when she sits next to him and he throws himself into her lap, practically purring. he can only say a few words, but one of those is her name, and he chirps it at her, “eda! eda!”
“yeah,” eda mutters. “that’s me, alright.”
on her own, not even a palisman to her name. just some dumb owl monster that doesn’t know when it isn’t wanted, that curls up at the foot of the couch, croons when king reaches out to play with the feathers on her wings.
“i can’t deal with a kid,” eda tells herself, and doesn’t let king go.
Discussion
EDA AND KING WHOOOOOOOOO!!! i still think its so funny that eda thinks her son is the dog at first. kings an entire titan. literally the son of the very land she lives on. and shes like 'damn. weird ass dog huh.'
anyways! not sure why i wrote this one...coulda been back when i was in the 19-20 episode range since theres a good amount of eda&king scenes there, and besides i think i wanted to kinda write a lil bit of how eda might've been when she first found king! bc its pretty fun in how its different from the show!
like, for one, the owl beast has known king was a kid (well. she'd use hatchling) from the start! it was EDA who got hit in the face with that, firefly has just accepted king as her new son and is mainly just annoyed she has to co-parent with eda. like sharing a nest with her was bad enough.
not much else to say about this one tho. actually fun fact: baby titans are little ducklings. since for so long the only living creatures WERE titans, baby titans imprint on the first source of dust they see! usually thats their parent titan, but in the case of king he wouldve imprinted on eda + firefly since before that he lived in an abandoned ruin and he was the only person around for miles.

If the voting during "death in the family" chose the option to let jason live, do you think that it wouldve been bad for the narrative? and, do you think that somehow that wouldve made joker and batman's relationship less tense?
That's... a good question.
It can't be denied that Joker killing Robin, at the time, was not an organic creative decision. Jason's death was decided by vote, by the fans themselves. If the fans voted for Jason to live, the situation would've been quite similar to The Killing Joke, perhaps. Bruce would've found Jason and his mother before the bomb blew up, and Jason would've had to deal with the aftermath of severe injuries and trauma, much like Barbara. Would it have made Batman and Joker's relationship less tense? I'd say that yes, but only temporarily, because I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't Jason... it would have eventually been someone else, dying by Joker's hands.
Thing is, I think Joker would've ended up inevitably escalating one way or another, even without the fan decision to kill off Jason Todd. If it wasn't Jason, it would've ended up being another important person close to Bruce, and soon. The idea of Joker becoming darker and killing a Robin was already out there -- Miller's The Dark Knight Returns was published in 1986, with Batman: Year One coming out in 1987. Moore's The Killing Joke came out in March 1988, and the first Batman issue leading to Jason's death appeared in August 1988. This all says something, in and of itself.
Miller's influence on modern Batman comics cannot be overstated (unfortunately, taking into account... some of his worst traits as an author). Batman himself was becoming more serious; darker, grittier. Joker, as the narrative foil and his eternal archnemesis, had no choice but to measure up. Joker could not keep being a generally harmless clown playing pranks on Gotham, he had to give the hero he was opposing a reason to be angry and violent. So, I do think that even if the fans managed to "save" Jason, the general direction in Batman comics would've led to Joker doing something horrific nonetheless. From a narrative standpoint, Joker's acts during that time blatantly read as escalation. He crippled Barbara and nearly drove Jim Gordon insane, and the line got drawn at "No, it's far too late for that." Joker was offered help, and the rejection of it was definitive. Him then almost beating Jason to death (Death in the Family shows Joker being surprised when believing him dead, and trying to cover it up with the bomb later), and him shooting Sarah Essen-Gordon in No Man's Land a decade later, all follow the pattern of Joker knowingly committing acts that will hurt and enrage Batman further.
So, to conclude, don't think Batman and Joker could've ever been less... tense. The darker one of them becomes, the higher the other has to climb to match him.

(about beastclans, not chickens) post/694522256774316032/ I assume this post was made in good faith and you’re genuinely confused, egg on my face if no—and sorry for sending a huge ask, I wouldve replied but I dont have a tumblr. The beastclan stuff is like, sooo done in discussion in FR topics, periodically a thread shows up where some innocent wide-eyed youth says “wait, are dragons the bad guys?” and then people start talking until someone ends up bringing in/condoning irl parallels and the thread is nuked. Basically it has been criticized and the staff does know it, and they have somewhat softened beastclan-dragon relations in comparison to how it was originally. It wasn’t actually on the site to begin with (not explicitly colonialism anyway), and the beastclans only appeared in the Dominance section in late 2014, implying that that is when they Really started their land issues with dragons. Site lore on them isn’t static though, time is theoretically passing in Sornieth, and relations are adapting with the times. Basically staff has depicted a narrative with colonialism in it but avoided condoning it, and in the Warrior’s Way pamphlet it even says that there’s somewhat of an uneasy armistice on. In that sense you can argue that the staff did in fact put in a “fix” for things depicted on-site—and to be clear, the main criticisms were “why am I suddenly complicit in imperialism/are my dragons bad”, because yeah, it’s a bit weird to imply that in a pet game. I am NOT calling for the removal of anything nor do I think people pointing this out are, but the fact that by exalting a dragon, a fundamental form of income in gameplay, I’m contributing to imperial forces (by driving beastclan “dominance” down) makes me feel a bit weird? It’s an unfortunate and unintended implication of gameplay. The site’s storyline is ongoing though, so maybe one day the beastclan sign will be taken off the dom board and reparations will be made by dragons to beastclans. Given the site’s sympathetic tone towards Beastclans (most of them anyway; the word choice concerning harpies in their Encylopedia entry is very mournful about them losing their artistic culture in being forced to go to war, for one. Serthis is a little more foggy but I think it’s even sympathetic towards them), it’s definitely not trying to normalize any of these topics, but rather to challenge them. If you feel it achieves that poorly that’s absolutely okay and understandable though, some things I feel a tad weird about too. Perhaps the most relevant thing to your question of “okay” or “not okay” though is the intentions of the staff of FR—what they’re saying about beastclans, they very much intended to do. In a couple recent issues on something being pointed out, it was a mistake of ignorance—they didn’t know what statement they were making or what dogwhistle they were blowing, so they amended it. On Beastclans, though, they’ve had time to change things but haven’t, so what they’ve implied so far in the “story” of FR, they HAVE meant it. At the most basic level, whatever is Okay or Not Okay on FR is just what they decide; their decisions are of course NOT ABOVE CRITICISM, and if their conclusions make you unhappy with the site that is totally okay.

Justice League x RW/BY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen (Part One)
gonna be honest i kinda keep forgetting that this movie exists. the animation and music is very... rw/by. for better or for worse. corny quippy one liners. it's very corny. adding a cut bc this'll probably get a bit rambly.
AHHH THE FLASHBACK IS A STILL FRAME. the first thing to make me laugh wasnt even a joke it was the single still frame flashback. well. there was a slight zoom?
it's trying to be funny so bad its trying so hard. the serious dialogue is corny but could be worse. overall its better than the crossover comics? making the DC characters teenagers seems pointless.
oh god the dialogue is so hammy. the fists are hammed. weiss good and weiss dad bad yes i noticed. christ im only 8 minutes in. physically recoiling at some of the jokes. like its nothing jokes its nothinggg.
IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE BRUCE? he's been on screen for like 10 seconds and he already sounds and acts like "wealthy teenage tiktok star tries to pander to the less ~economically privileged~" and god it keeps going it hasnt even been a minute yet. did they make them teenagers bc otherwise bruce wouldve run off and found some little boy to help him solve everything without the help of anyone else. is that why. bc honestly yeah adult bruce is hard to write into a team setting.
bruce continues to be embarrassing but also. im learning that the still image flashbacks are just a thing thats gonna happen in this movie. style wise its very much a rw/by movie, so its just probably not gonna hit for me. its the kind of show i watched in middle school and grew out of by 8th grade. even then, my interest kind of started and ended with the character design and the basic world building elements. emphasis on basic, trying to understand the more in depth aspects is a bit of a waste of time.
oh and im still at the 10 minute mark. "ive already gone through all the other dc x rw/by content" i thought, "might as well watch the movies" i thought.
i think theyre trying to write bruce doing a smart detective thing? unfortunately rw/by is very bad at writing people doing smart things. 1) cant stand bruces voice in this 2) god hes so annoying and this whole scene is embarrassing to watch.
GAHH. THE SAME FLASHBACK FRAME CLARK HAD BUT ZOOMED OUT THIS TIME. true cinema. and i think theyre alluding to time travel as well as dimension travel, so even the rw/by girls get to have weird "we're not where we should be" flashbacks.
diana manhandles the small boy, fun. it also rife with required reading bc if you arent fully dedicated to keeping track of all rw/by lore then fuck you. these movies dont seem to require much DC knowledge but they cram in a lot of references to rw/by lore that i only know from video essays put out by ex-fans.
hey guys did u remember that yang is lesbian. pretty cool right? right?? this movie is going by so slow.
MARI IS THAT YOU?? and jess... girls u deserve a better movie. oh vic got braids? nice. also that joke was nothing. all the jokes are nothing.
the best jokes so far have been. the ones about how convoluted and hard to get into rw/by is. because of course. sigh. i do think the DC characters are better utilized and integrated than they were in the comics at least. seeing mari and jess get animated is really cool, and overall i like the redesigns. a few of the characters have commented on suddenly being deaged but mari's acknowledgement of it is the first to feel like a natural line of dialogue rather than exposition.
montage of bruce learning to use his bat powers so that they can get that out of the way before he joins the rest of the group. separate things that were already discussed being re-discussed so that we can have a "everyone talks at once scene". they. what. huh? they had a normal conversation that landed on "lets split into groups since theres enough of us to reasonably do that. then they have an argument which ends at the exact same conclusion.
are they really gonna have a "yang thinks diana is hot and blake gets jealous" plot line? really? and another love triangle. cy tries to ask nora to explain this worlds weapons, noras boyfriend(?) gets mad and then cy gets mad back and ends up being the one everyone gets upset with. it feels a bit. just. super uncomfortable. cy wasnt flirting he was just. talking to nora.
oh thank god that bit is over. now back to jess! possibly the most interesting character here. her design is probably my least favorite of the bunch tho, just because it feel a bit... too anime? it reminds me too much of my danganronpa phase, lol.
jaune doing plot device things. jess introspection. its not the most interesting thing but its better than uh. whatever happened with cy earlier. sorry im still thinking about that. i think they were just going for hormonal and temperamental teenager moment but it uh. came off weird.
plot twist everything was uh. void. ptsd monster things. the plots about to get convoluted isnt it.
diana is pretty decently fleshed out in this one. and it looks like they didnt lean into the diana being hot as a source of relationship conflict that much aside from a few jokes, thank god.
for fucks sake shut up jaune i dont care about your dead girlfriend.
back to the monster fighting group, dear god theyre doing one of those. 2 guys fight over girl who goes "umm i can take care of myself >:(". GOD SHUT UP. FUCK. ITS A JEALOUS LOVE TRIANGLE PLOT. please let this die sooner rather than later.
bruce describes everything that was just established. bruce is emo. weiss tries to be nice. then back to jess and jaune. "i didnt realize how much i miss this place" yeah well i sure dont miss it. oh pyrra, however your name is spelled, you were the only character death that meant anything. now if only they didnt degrade her story into being all about jaune even in death.
have weiss and bruce just been on the computer this whole time. at least they eventually get a fight scene. lesbians to the rescue time. stuff and things. i still dont care and jaune. fuckin. creator self insert ass. he was originally comic relief/audience surrogate but turned into way too much of a main character. god jess deserves her own movie.
weiss please stop trying to recruit him this is just embarrassing. is this gonna be a whole thing? bruce deciding between earth and remnant? and god you cant put anime style gags in the middle of a serious scene. oh god theyre making bruce insecure about not having powers like the rest of the league. man who could've seen that coming. christ theres still 20 minutes left. FUCK AND A WHOLE SECOND MOVIE.
jess remains the coolest bitch in this movie. god why couldnt it be a jess green lantern movie.
lesbians on motorcycles, blah blah fight scene. oh god we're pretending batman is cool. fake flash? wheres real barry then :/ christ. they think this is a cool twist. tho possessed barry is pretty fun. god the actual canon explanation for making them teens was bc kilg%re figured the hormones would make them easier to fuck with.
obligatory "even teens can be leaders" speech. the determination of humanity or whatever.
HAAA BRUCE AND BARRY MORSE CODE COMMUNICATION. ok thats cute.
so smth smth final battle but theres a mysterious second bad guy so that they still have content for a second movie. i like how they show vixen's powers, that parts fun. jess does main character thing and kills big bad. bruces conflict about going home is resolved. cy goes and makes amends with nora and guy who likes nora, despite guy who likes nora being the one to cause all the conflict in the first place. they make the go home portals. set up for next movie.
