okay no, I got bored halfway through lining and just slapped some color on these bitches
Je'Chessa is a Temple Guard, but not from Feemor's squad (and coincidentally the owner of the foulest mouth in all of Coruscant)
Uzemgo is one of the most accomplished Mandalorian poets of his time. He is the one that coins 'Mesh'lanovaar' as the mando'a word for the Temple Guard
and the little blue blob on his shoulder is his child, Toya.
#je'chessa stems from the idea of a jedi that is an absolute barbie until she opens her mouth#you would not believe how viciously this woman can swear#she's won contests#also did i spend entirely too much time writing 'sa sarad' in cursive mando'a for uzemgo's armor? maybe#he might as well be my self insert in this with the amount of fucking thoughts i have on mando poetry#random boli thoughts#my art#art for my fic#mando oc#jedi oc#jedi temple guard#once again i was too lazy to look up guard uniform references#sue me

hiii dolls <33 i think it’s my first actual draft that made it as a post in a long time so enjoy!! self-insert, gn friendly!
Scaramouche x Reader || One Bed Trope
"I'm fucking sick of this. No you listen to me, do you know who I am?'' he throws his fists against the wood. What a rowdy guy, if he keeps this up I might be the one who'll get fucking sick of this fiasco.
"I'm sorry sir, most of our rooms are unfortunately taken and our staff is overworked due to this blizzard. Could you be a little patient until we check to see what we could offer you and your colleagues?" the woman at the front desk appeared to be distressed, managing a phone at her ear with her shoulder, trying to write some notes down at the same time. Scaramouche is not having it. If it were any other day perhaps I wouldn't be this easily irritated, but unfortunately my cheeks are scarred by the cold wispy wind, I can't feel any of my fingers due to frostbite, I haven't eaten anything, tired as hell and most importantly in a need of a shower. He's not helping my condition in the slightest, not that he ever did. Not that I would want him to, but that doesn't mean that I want him to worsen it.
"..Do you even know who you're talking to? I don't care how you manage your goddamn hotel, you must have 4 rooms for Tsaritsa's Harbingers. What kind of pathetic unorganized team do you even have here that a snow storm is all it takes for this whole place to-" (Y/N) puts their hand on his shoulder, making him stop mid sentence. "I'm sorry for my partner here he's just tired, please do what you must." I pulled him back and talked with the polite lady in front of me. Unfortunately, Scaramouche did not appreciate that. I could feel him fuming behind my back, his eyes could cut if i were to turn and look at him. Fortunately I don't, trying to contain an upcoming chuckle at how ridiculous he looks right now. Insufferable fucker.
"Now now comrade-" Tartaglia tries to put his palm on his hat and almost instantly having it waved off by him. "that's no way of treating a woman! Did nobody teach you that as a kid?" he gleefully laughed, as he usually does in his off work moments. What a guy...will anyone ever understand him? He goes from idiotic happy go lucky guy to a minimal quiet death sword in such a short amount of time. Matter of fact, we're coming down from a mission where he mercilessly tortured five millelith guards for intel on the latest operations managed by the Liyue Qixing. Who knows what goes on through his head while he chooses what to say or do. He might be smarter than anyone in our team if he's acting this way deliberately. Maybe he learned this is the safest way to operate within the Harbingers. Fake.
"You're being childish again Balladeer.." Arlecchino side eyed him, tired of his shit as usual rightfully so. Her elegant form always stuns me. She, like Childe. hides her true thoughts so well that all you can see is a put together act constantly. "Yeah? Let me be childish then, at least i'll have somewhere to sleep tonight, you can stay in the lobby for all I care." Scaramouche turns, ready to get into yet another argument. "Will you stop? We're all tired and your attitude is only agitating us further-" I turn to face him, ready to snap when the lady so kindly cuts me off this time.
"We have 3 rooms available for you, please make your way to room 47, 48 and 51 on the 2nd floor" I heard that and I almost ran to the elevator without another word, without actually letting the information settle in and comprehending it. Everyone turned to look at each other. "Lady I don't know if you're blind or those badly cut bangs are in your eyes but as you can clearly see there's 4 of us." Scaramouche storms to the front desk once again. The young woman looks at him with a sour face, done with his shenanigans. "That's all we can manage at this time, what else would you want from me?" He snarls at her. "Well if you found 3 then you can find another one you-"
"ENOUGH." I pulled him by his sleeve. "Thank you ma'am. We'll manage, have a good one!" I took the keys from the counter and dragged Scaramouche all the way to the elevator, the rest tagging along.
".....Can we do rock paper scissors for each room?"...Childe. "No." I'm glad we all agreed at least on that.
"..." The elevator reaches the 2nd floor. We get out, look at each other and unbeknownst to the rest of us, Arlecchino walks away towards room 48 with a key in her hand. "See you all tomorrow." I look baffled in my hand to notice a 3rd pair of keys missing! When did she even..
"....Can we do rock paper scissors now ?" "..No" I'm glad he agreed. "There's no need for that, I think you and Scaramouche should team up for tonight" I said, crossing my arms against my chest. "What?! Why would you throw me under the bus with him ?" Scara snapped at me, offended at the idea of spending the night with his friendly comrade.
"Hey now you're breaking my heart haha...what does that mean haha.." Scaramouche turns to him, "You snore, you stink, you're taking all the bed to yourself, never flush the toilet, eat all my food, get ridiculously drunk before you go to bed, uncomfortably touchy in your sleep-" "OKAY comrade. We get the point now." Tartaglia reaches out and takes a key out of my hold, winking at us."Ohhh I get how it is, okaay alright then haha~ I'll let you two have your moment for tonight" He smiles and walks away mumbling "..I'm not even that loud when I snore.."
"..." The only thing we can hear is the wind whistling forcefully through the windows along with Childe's rapid pace towards room 47. My hand is still around his sleeve, I could've let go a long time ago but I didn't. I figured it would be uncomfortable letting go now so the only rational thing to do is to go along with it. And so I drag him to...our room, for tonight.
"What are you doing? Are you really just letting him get away with it? Aren't you gonna put up a fight for the room?"
"Well, why aren't you? I'm fine with it, I don't care that much. I just want to eat, shower and go to sleep." His eyes widened for a bit and next thing that I knew, he pulls his hand back. "I never said I want to bunk up with you." "...You're right, you didn't. And to that I say, you sadly don't have a choice...so you either bunk up with me or you can go sleep in the lobby next to your dear front desk lady." He's frowning at me now, distaste all over his face. With that being said, he takes the keys from my hand and starts walking towards room 51, leaving me behind. I rush to his side trying to keep up in fear he would lock me out, which would be completely in his character. I definitely wouldn't call us friends, we bicker more than we bond. Not that I wouldn't want to bond with him, he's simply unapproachable, and I genuinely think that's how he wants to be. He's doing it on purpose. It's not like I never tried to get him, but you can't crack open someone who doesn't want to be cracked and vulnerable. Reason why I sit back and watch him be an angry insufferable jerk.
Sometimes I wonder what goes through his mind as well, what made him act like this, respond to life this way. I wouldn't mind if he let me in for once, if he let me listen. I wonder when was the last time someone listened to him, when was the last time he felt heard.
"Why would I want to sleep next to a bitch with a bad bob" I laughed at his comment, "You're ruthless. Poor girl...you went all in on her bangs too you criminal." He snarled, "She should've had that coming, how do you leave your house with your bangs looking like that" opening the door for us, we entered and I immediately felt my shoulders relax, letting the comforting aroma of clean laundry fill me in. Without any words I plop down onto our bed. "Get down loser, you're stinking my bed." I chuckle, "That's the point jerk, so you'd sleep on the floor." moving my hands up and down taking as much space as possible, smiling. It feels kind of...peaceful. These back and forths with him, they feel so natural. "I'll go ahead and bring our stuff in here, do you want something to eat?" I rise up on an instant, my stomach making an unpleasant sound. Would he bring me something? He cares enough to ask? "Actually I'm really really hungry right no-" the door closes. Did he just?...no. No, he's evil but not this vile. I take back everything I just said about feeling peaceful. With a huff I get out of bed and rush to the bathroom, there's no reason to waste any more time so I'll just take a shower.
With that being said, I undress and fix the water just right letting it run down my body after such a long tiresome day. It's always nice how hotels give you everything you may need for a bath, except for clothes. I realized as I'm now out of the shower that I don't have anything clean to wear. Just in cue, I hear the front door opening and closing once more. "(Y/N)? Are you in the bathroom?" No...Oh Archons not like this.. "Yeah...Did you bring my stuff as well?" He laughs, "Your stuff? Why would I bring YOUR luggage." He's got to be kidding me. I roll up a towel around my form and furiously get out of the bathroom. There he stands, laughing in my face with both of our luggage and what looks like some take out? Standing in the middle of the room looking dumbfounded, I ask him "You also bought...food?" He looks at me like I said something stupid, "Well yeah, I'm hungry." That's when it clicked. Yeah right he is...a puppet with no need of food, being hungry. I smiled at him softly without another word and looked through my stuff to get dressed. "I finished showering, the bathroom is all yours if you need it." Scaramouche was confused but let it go this time "Will go shower too then" And so he did.
While he was busy showering I prepped the whole room, unpacked everything including our meal. He quietly opens the door and for a moment just stays in the doorway looking at me puffing the pillows. What a silly girl he thinks. Putting in so much effort, he feels something fill in the void inside of him. It's...nice, warm, peaceful
"..Do you wanna go to sleep?" He looks at me, nodding. Looking at him now, he's acting strange. Almost sad but at peace, quiet, tranquil melancholy. Must've hit a nerve without wanting to. He looks in need of comfort but I feel hopeless, I brought him back something he hadn't thought in a long time...I triggered him. He gets in bed while I turn the lights off, suddenly it hits me. I realize it in that moment how intimate this feels. How raw, how vulnerable. I climb up in bed on his opposite side. The bed itself is not tiny but I guess due to the snowstorm outside we're laying pretty close to one another, our backs touching.
It's quiet, as tired as I was before proved to be useless now that I'm standing next to Scaramouche, so many unspoken words kept me wide awake. And then it happened. He broke the silence "I once convinced myself that humanity doesn't deserve kindness. I had a lot of trial and errors and every one of them proved that they're all doomed by their own selfish needs anyway. Humans don't deserve care. And still I find myself contradicting that in my mind." His voice is calm, relaxed and yet so sad. So simple yet it hides details that I may never learn. On impulse I turned around and hugged his back gently. He tensed up but just as quickly relaxed entirely in my arms. "It takes a lot of courage to try again, to trust again. To want to care, even if you know there's a chance it won't be fruitful. It means that at core, you want to give and help unconditionally. It means there's a lot of love within you Scara, including for humanity. That's powerful." For a second I feel him shaking in my arms and with that, I felt my heart breaking. He turned around facing me, "I feel like I want to care for you" I opened my arms, smiling at him "Then do so. Allow yourself to feel that way!" and so he does, he allows himself to be held. Not too long after, I feel him holding me instead, playing with my hair almost enchanted by my figure. His fingers are gentle, his palms are cold and yet I've never felt a warmer hold in my life. "You're not on your own anymore. I already care for you in ways you don't even know. You're being cared for." I feel his arms tightening around me. "..I won't ever forget this, do you know that? These exact same words may as well haunt me one day." I look up at him, "Or bless you. The risk for vulnerability is high, but the reward is always worth it. Don't cage yourself in fear Scara. Live." I felt his head fall on top of mine. He fell asleep while I was talking! This guy...and just like that, the big ruthless Balladeer fell asleep in my hair.

I forgot did I ever ask for chrom facts? I remember asking for Roy and Marth facts. Anyways If I already have then tell me facts for a character of your choosing
This one is surprisingly more difficult as i've made so much unhinged Chrom content that i need to remember what is blatantly my five layers of headcanons and what isnt. uhm.
Chrom's base Falchion (legendary sword passed down for generations) has the same might as an iron sword. It's an unbreakable iron sword.
Despite Robin being the literal self insert, Chrom is the only character force-deployed on every map, and the only character with convoy access
Chrom (and male Robin) is the only dad in awakening to have a child associated with him. All other kids are associated with the mother instead.
Chrom is very clumsy. When he was a kid, he smashed a wall while training, and it never got fixed, so he and Lissa presumably covered the incident up by moving shrubbery over the hole.
This smashed wall is a legitimate plot point as it allows Lucina to inflitrate Ylisstol Castle and stop Chrom from being permanently wounded by an assassin
Speaking of Lucina, he really like. Post timeskip he's like, 25 MAX, and father of an Infant, so when a like, 18yr old girl shows up and says he's her dad. He's just like. Ok. My daughter now. Truly dad of the year. All his shortcomings as a father are External Circumstances he had no influence over ok
Literally all Chrom seasonal units are so mad to be seasonal units. Chrom hates wearing anything besides his stupid onesie. My respect tbh. I get it.
I'm a firm believer he has resting bitch face. The Autism Stare
I fear if i say more I'm going to get into deranged headcanon territory. I've written enough fanfic abt him tbh.
My fav thing abt his characterization is that he sees himself as a tool of violence yet deeply admires pacifism. It's like. He loves peace in theory. When its personified by his sister. But he just. doesn't know how to put it into practice.
This is especially notable in his first meeting with Gangrel, where Gangrel has a hostage and is demanding Emmeryn negotiate. And Chrom just immediately gets aggressive amd escalates the situation into a fight. Yeah sure he was being goaded, but the guy has a surprisingly short temper!
It's a very inch resting dualism and I am a total sucker for everytime fanworks do more with that than the game does. Bcuz most FE protags. Love peace obviously. But they see violence as the means to the end, they still see themselves as holier than thou, whereas Chrom really doesn't. Death is death. Gives him flavor.
It's blatantly obvious in his behavior and skills that he was NOT meant to be the leader. Most FE protags had their parents die to become king, but he had his SISTER die. He would've been behind any of HER heirs (if she had any) in the line of succession and probably only ran a militia because he never expected to be king at all. He can't negotiate for shit on a political level, only convince people on a personal one. He's very blunt and honest (...autism swag...), and not cut out for intrigue, as well as easily manipulated.
For real he would he fucked without Robin.
Can you tell I love him and think about him a normal amount. Chrom my wife

Su'cuyyy. I go by Beskar on the interwebz💚he/it
26yrs old, semi-ficto, gay & arospec, French-Moroccan(Shilah Berberⵣ), currently living in the Southern USA.
Legally blind, recovering addict, autistic as fuck & chronically lovesick.
je parle français / ni jorhaa'i mando'a
✌️&❤️ to everyone!
More about me & this blog;
🌿 Honestly, I only use the term F/O online; Boba is my partner in life...my rotten soldier...my sweet cheese❤️ He's been with me for many years, and he's like a part of me & has helped me through so much. I sincerely consider him to be my soulmate & one of my best friends :') We officially got together summer of 2017, and we've been married since 12/12/2020.
I'm not ok with sharing, as this is very much a "real" relationship for me & he's my actual partner. Thanks for your understanding.
🌿 Don't have much of a DNI but, at the risk of sounding a bit sensitive, please don't follow/interact if you ship romantically with/crush on Bo, or if you frequently interact with someone who does. No hate whatsoever, it just makes me uncomfortable because I love him as I would any partner IRL and treat our relationship as such.
Be 18+ and be nice, I guess. If you're shipping w/ minors, we probably won't get along too well, just sayin'. This blog won't get too NSFW but there might be some suggestive stuff here n' there. Also, I cuss like a sailor, jsyk
🌿 I love people, but I'm extremely awkward/shy and as of late, my personal life is somewhat hectic so I'm often busy or overwhelmed lol. It might take me a bit to get back to you, but I truly, deeply appreciate every single kind interaction and message I get & promise I ain't ignoring you
🌿 Not a fan of discourse, drama, or rude/mean people; been through way too much real shit in my time on this planet to care what folks say or do in their personal lives, especially strangers online. This blog has quickly become one of my little sanctuaries and I try to keep it positive, as I do with most areas of my life. If I don't like your energy, I'll just block/ignore, no hard feelings.
🌿 By the way, for those outside the community who might see this, I'm pretty effin' confident in who I am, and that includes my identity/relationship.
You're free to interact/follow if you'd like, just be kind. Didn't go through years of therapy to feel shame over something that's brought joy, creativity, love, and comfort to my life since I was a child. Hate will always be deleted without acknowledgement, so by all means, throw a lil tantrum in my inbox while I continue to cultivate good vibes😌💋
🌿 Some of my interests outside of Star Wars & kissing my husband include:
practicing yoga, Star Trek, DCSS, ancient Greek historical fiction, creative writing, hiking/camping, singing, and drinking dangerous amounts of caffeine

Slogged through V9E6, thoughts are under the cut
As always, I am worried that Jaune’s arrival means he’s going to start sucking focus away from the other characters again. Here’s hoping the writers remember he’s best used as a supporting character.
Jaune why did you grab the weird thing that looks like a clock what did you think was going to happen
Don't touch weird shit you idiot it's like rule #1
I hate the Ever After so much
So did he just sit there for years until he got DILFed? Lmao.
I'm sure this change will have long-lasting ramifications for both Jaune's characterization and the narrative as a whole.
Well, this was a wonderful, touching moment until it was immediately ruined by Weiss’s daddy kink
Like seriously who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have Jaune admit that he’d gone through a horribly traumatic experience and been incredibly lonely for what’s indicated to be literally decades based on his physical changes and then have Weiss immediately start thirsting for him like we literally see his eyes watering and then not seven seconds later Weiss is looking at him with do-me eyes
These writers genuinely have zero understanding of tone or how to set and maintain it effectively it’s amazing it's like they watched the MCU and the only lesson they took away from it was that every moment that might possibly have any kind of emotional impact needs to be undermined by a snappy quip as quickly as possible because otherwise someone might make the mistake of assuming your show is sincere about anything
Anyway girliepop’s showing her whole ass right now way to keep your fetish under wraps Weiss
Yang’s looking at her like “I know what you are”
Nice try Yang like I didn’t see you eyeing up Jaune too feast on the crumbs my fellow pan Yang truthers
Miles is genuinely never beating the “Jaune is a self-insert” allegations holy shit
Like if you want people to believe that the character you voice, who's received a disproportionate amount of narrative focus throughout the series already and has received repeated criticism for it, who's already been presented as attractive on at least one occasion, isn't a self-insert, maybe don't have one of the mains openly thirsting after him once you've written an excuse for him to be aged up so that he's both closer to your age and significantly older than she is after you've already posed for a picture with a body pillow of an underage girl from the show you write for and your coworker has posted that picture online with the caption "She's still only 16, don't get too comfortable". Like maybe consider the optics for 5 seconds. It'd be 5 seconds longer than you typically think through your writing choices, at any rate.
Wow, finally someone is engaging with the fall of Atlas, Team RWBY’s part in it, and the ramifications of both the previous things. Only took half the fucking Volume.
I actually like the pretty distinct perspectives and the conflict between Weiss and Blow. Weiss is the one who has the most reason to be attached with Atlas and Blow has the most reason to feel negatively about that Kingdom, so having them be the ones arguing here is a good choice.
Yeah, Weiss, you did fail, but it wasn’t just you. Most of the blame rests on the shoulders of Ironwood and these dumbass fucking writers.
That said, you guys didn’t exactly pass your trials with flying colors.
Good point, Ruby.
Yang is the first one to engage with Ruby’s distress again, even if she’s not exactly on the money here either in terms of her actual position on Ironwood or how to help Ruby.
I feel like this is one of the few moments of actual substance we've gotten this Volume and I really wish we'd spent more time digging into it. Unfortunately, He-Jaune, Master of the Universe, cuts it short. Not a fan of that choice unless we pick this up again at a later date.
He-Man’s a little bit of a jerk. Interesting. I kinda want to see where this goes.
He also doesn’t seem to like the Cat. He gets points for that.
He-Man, Master of the Jauniverse, does not want them going to the Tree. Given what apparently happened to the Herbalist, this implies something sinister about the Tree and Ascension.
You read my mind, Weiss.
Jaune has a very different perspective on Ascension than the Cat. On the one hand, the Cat is a denizen of the Ever After and probably knows more about how it works than Jaune does. On the other hand, Jaune is far more inherently trustworthy as a character we’ve known for 8+ Volumes, whereas the Cat is sinister as fuck. They've been creeping me out since their introduction.
Once again, Ascension is equated with death – you lose your memories, lose who you are. Whatever you used to be is gone.
Good pun, Yang.
Who the fuck is Lewis?
Oh, wonderful, Alyx had a brother. An irrelevant character had another irrelevant character to hang out with. Can we please stop expanding the cast?
Go off, Weiss (and Yang)
What the fuck did the Cat just do
I love you Weiss. There really is just no end to the Ever After’s bullshit, is there?
Where the hell are Blow and Yang?
You walked right into that one, Weiss.
Love how He-Man’s just done with everything. I am too, buddy, I am too.
Here it comes, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Maybe we’ll get something decent out of this Volume after all.
YOU GUYS CAN LITERALLY DOUBLE JUMP WHY DOES EVERY SCENE IN THIS VOLUME THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE COMBAT INSIST ON FORGETTING THAT THE CHARACTERS HAVE MOBILITY TOOLS
I could cross that shit and I don’t even have superpowers
You have perfectly good ropes right there
Yes I get that it’s a metaphor for taking the next step in their relationship blah blah blah but the metaphor is shit
This Volume really likes presenting challenges as insurmountable when Team RWBY has regularly handled far more difficult ones it keeps breaking my willing suspension of disbelief
I'm normally pretty willing to buy into what a show is going for but I just can't do it for this Volume
Was that Summer in the reflection?
Looks like the reflections show everyone’s issues – Summer for Ruby, Penny for Jaune, Atlas for Weiss
Oh, so Alyx was a little shitter, huh? I’m sure there’s nothing negative about the choice to portray a (female) character of color this way, especially in a show known for being racist produced by a company known for being racist.
Okay yeah Jaune you probably fucked up here trying to railroad her into the book’s storyline. Somebody’s never played D&D before and it shows
Poor guy’s really hurting though, can’t blame him for feeling like a failure
I’d like the show to unpack all this but I don’t even trust it to handle Team RWBY’s issues (or even address them in a meaningful way) so we’ll see
I feel like we have to take everything Jaune says about the Cat and the Tree and the Ever After with a grain of salt, but the Cat is genuinely creepy as shit, so I feel like there’s some validity to this, at least.
So Jaune thinks the Cat fed Lewis to the Tree. Is he right? Who the fuck knows?
But it does set up some sinister implications about the Tree, the Cat, and the nature of the Ever After. If the Tree’s not an option, how does the gang get home?
I get the feeling that Jaune is at least partially wrong about how the Tree works, but what he's saying makes sense based on what he knows.
Yang you fucking dork
Anyway if Blow has a really good brain it’d be nice to see more examples of it beyond “she’s the bookworm”, I’m sure setting her own house on fire was a great demonstration of intelligence. I feel like this is another indication that I’m right when I say that RWBY would’ve really benefited from another Beacon Volume to really build the relationships between the core cast that the show tries to convince us exist.
Also, Yang is smart even if Blow makes her brain turn to mush. She seems to have figured out the trick here. She sounds so sweet and sincere when she mentions liking Blow’s ears, though I feel like this is another instance where the show isn’t taking Blow’s status as a minority seriously, what with the potential elements of fetishization here. Still, I’ll try to go with the writing’s intent here.
Honestly it probably wouldn’t even bother me if this Volume hadn’t insisted on continually comparing Blow to a cat
You did, in fact, nail it, Yang. Such a fucking dork I love her
Okay, Blow, maybe you do have a really good brain after all. Again, would’ve been nice to establish this a bit earlier, but oh well.
Yang you fucking dork lmao
Damn, Blake went hard here. Yang went with the surface-level stuff and was probably expecting the same in return and Blake just started pouring her heart out. I love the way Yang’s eyes and face just softened the moment Blake said she was an extraordinary person. Girlie was not expecting that at all.
“I like that you’ve never been intimidated by me” BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yang she fucking flinches like a dog expecting to be beaten every time you raise your voice around her she’s the only one in your friend group who’s ever been intimidated by you even Jaune is fine around you and that boy’s afraid of his own shadow
Jk I lied the other abuse victim on your team also has negative reactions when you act aggressive
Anyway I guess we know why we got that line about Yang not being scary (even though she could be if she wants to) back in Episode 1.
Yang how are you missing with every line Blow gave up on Adam and the White Fang and that was a good thing because it let her escape his abuse hello?
Oh and she sure as hell gave up on Qrow and Ironwood when Qrow crawled into a bottle and Ironwood decided to raise Atlas, and she was literally the only person on her team who didn’t believe in Yang’s innocence when Cinder framed Yang during the Vytal Festival (guess who was ride or die for Yang in that moment? I'll give you a hint: her name starts with a W), and she ran away from her entire team when Weiss was racist for two episodes. Finding her was the whole fucking plot of the V1 finale. Like I’m not even arguing that she was wrong or unjustified for any of that but if you want her to be the one who never gives up on anyone then maybe fucking show her never giving up on anyone
Does Blake really know what matters to her, Yang? It sure as hell wasn’t Faunus rights during the Atlas Volumes.
That fucking lighting lmao
Just spit it out you idiots lets get this over with my expectations are dropping with every line
God Yang is such a fucking dork I genuinely love this for her it would’ve been so easy to make her the cocky flirty one all the time and they didn’t
For all my frustrations with this show I do genuinely like that.
I like how Yang hesitated a bit and didn’t quite commit but Blake went full-bore.
Oh my God it’s so sappy and cheesy and romantic
I can understand why people love it even if for me it crosses the line to narm like honestly this scene just feels ridiculous but that's just a personal taste thing, it feels too over-the-top for me but there's some charm to it as well
I feel a little bad for the Cat but honestly they strike me as manipulative more than anything
Every scene just gives me bad vibes
Damn, they were makin out, hands changed positions and everything
Nice little leg pop Blow
You and the fandom both, Jaune.
Kinda wonder when you figured it out though because you were not picking up on it in Volume 8 ("Ruby?" "Yeah... Ruby.")
Good to know the Bees thought confessing their feelings was more important than getting home or stopping Salem. I like both characters less every time they treat the Ever After as a vacation.
The little hand touch is cute though.
Okay, Ruby is not reacting well to the return of Crimson Rose, probably because it represents the burden of being a leader and a Huntress.
She's pushing her insecurities down again. That's gonna burst out sooner or later.
Jaune thinks Alyx traded Lewis to the Tree in order to leave. My guess is that either Jaune or Ruby tries to trade themselves to the Tree so the others can go home.
Damn, Ruby’s rejecting Crescent Rose pretty emphatically there.
Music is still forgettable I don’t think there’s been a single song that I’ve remembered a not of when it’s not actually playing for 6 whole episodes
Miles gave a solid performance here and so did whoever voices the Cat.
Okay, so, here it is: the scene we’ve all been waiting for since Volume 2 at the latest. The Bees are an item now, and it’s really obvious that it meant a lot to CRWBY. They put a lot of love into that scene, and it shows. Visually, it’s gorgeous, the voice actresses clearly put their hearts and souls into it, the music is meant to scream romance...
Unfortunately, I don’t like it. Perhaps this is just a nitpick on my end because I’m a stubborn ornery cantankerous bastard who hates being told what to do, but this confession doesn’t feel organic. It feels like they were forced into it by outside factors (the stupid fucking punderstorm that wouldn’t let them leave until they told each other their feelings. If I'd been in their place, I would've sat my stubborn Texan ass down and told that fucking weather condition that it could let me out right now or move along on its own time, but I'm staying right here until it does. Ain't no fuckin rain clouds gonna tell me what to do).
I don’t like that in and of itself, but it gets worse when you consider that both characters are A) queer and B) were only coded and not explicitly confirmed as queer within the show prior to this scene. It feels like two queer characters are being forced out of the closet, which would be bad enough on its own, but gets infinitely worse when the company behind the show named itself after a homophobic slur and then built a company culture around bullying and bigotry and the lead writer on the show has been openly biphobic and fetishized bi women in the past. Good job, morons, you managed to take a ship I’ve supported since the characters involved met in the Emerald Forest and make it feel gross to me. Between this and Blake’s jokes about Yang’s arm in Episode 2, I’m officially not a Bumbleby shipper anymore. You’ve fumbled the bag that badly. Please never hold a job in any creative industry again.
Overall rating: Horrendously Bad And Specifically Disappointing On Top Of That/10
Amazed that I can't definitively declare this a bottom three episode of the Volume because 3 of the 5 others I've watched so far were also this fucking bad. Truly an accomplishment.
Everything that wasn't Weiss's thirst for DILFs and the Bumbleby confession was okay (not amazing), but the writers fucked up so badly with the parts that sucked that they accomplished something incredible: they executed a scene I've been waiting for for ages so incompetently that I don't ship Bumbleby anymore.
#this entire volume has really been a masterclass on how not to write a story#I would be ashamed to put this on my resume if I had worked on it#rwby#bumbleby

I'd love to hear more about your TOW captain! 👀 Can we get an introduction?
WAWAWAWAA YHSGSVXB ABSOLUTELY YOU CERTAINLY CAn
also sorry this took so long to answer I was in the middle of the woods for a bit. i am temporarily back from the woods rn but will be returning soon
This is Captain Arabella Hawthorne. She’s teeeeeeechnically a self-insert OC? but like all my OCs eventually do she kinda became her own entity
And I surprisingly don’t have much of her lore fleshed out, but I’m hoping to change that(might do second runthrough of TOW..)
She typically prefers negotiating through problems first, but is absolutely not above threats and violence.
She’s trying to save the colony; so she’d like to kill as few people as possible along the way. Otherwise, how is she any better than the Board?
She fucking hates Mantisaurs. Bugs have absolutely no reason to be that big, and that bulletproof.
I don’t remember much about her character background/stats n stuff because I haven’t played TOW in a long time, but I might pop onto it and check later
The crew/companions are like a family to her(even ADA and Sam), and with the amount of bickering that’s always happening, they might as well all be. She does try to make time to hang out/talk with each of the companions whenever she gets the chance.
Felix and Max tried to explain tossball to her once, and the conversation only lasted all of four and a half minutes before she had to break up their 8th argument that week.
I HC that Nyoka’s a really good cook(and that my captain’s cooking…could definitely use some work), so I like to think that Nyoka sometimes teaches Arabella how to cook. I don’t care if a bunch of the shit in TOW is supposed to be technically inedible, I want Nyoka to teach my captain how to make a mean Raptidon steak 😤
She usually helps Parvati plan dates with Junlei, because as much of a sweetheart as she is, that girl cannot stop having anxiety about it to save her life. If there’s such a thing as a ‘disaster asexual’, that’s Parvati. Arabella also makes sure to intimidate the fuck out of anyone she sees being acephobic because we do NOT stand for that shit here on the Unreliable.
ADA often updates her on what’s changed/happened in the past 70 years, because Arabella is still pretty clueless on a lot of stuff.
Since Ellie’s a doctor(technically), i like to think that she knows like. Which consumables are most effective to use in the inhaler thing the Captain has, which ones are good substitutes for other things, and what’s best to use in certain situations, so she like. Explains that stuff to Arabella so that she doesn’t, like, die.
Building off of that, I think Nyoka knows what things/armors are best against certain damage types(and also what’s weakest against certain damage types), so sometimes she also helps explain stuff like that to Arabella too
She makes sure to tell SAM that they’re the best she knows at cleaning things, even though he always just responds with various cleaning-related slogans and jingles.
That’s all I can think of to tell you about my Captain for right now but thank you so so so much for sending this ask
And once again I’m so sorry I answered this so late
#also yes I HC Sam as being they/he#the outer worlds#nyoka ramnarim wentworth iii#the outer worlds nyoka#parvati holcomb#maximillian desoto#felix millstone#ellie fenhill#the outer worlds ADA#ADA#SAM#the outer worlds SAM#outer worlds#my ocs#oc: captain arabella#also I may or may not have been listening to Groundbreaker from the OST while I made this#the captain#captain hawthorne

Birthday Wish
pairing: bakugo x reader
summary: you've brought up the topic of topping your boyfriend for a while, and for your birthday he decided he'd finally let you.
cw: bottom!katsuki, afab!reader (though no pronouns used), pet names (my love, baby etc., most directed at bkg), pegging, reader occasionally refers to strap as their cock, rimming (m. receiving), lots of aftercare bc I stan aftercare, soft!bkg, this was super fluffy bc it's theoretically his first time as a bottom and patience is key
a/n: i didn't get a lot of hype for bottom!katsuki but idc it's my birthday so 🤪 this was super self indulgent it might as well be self insert but I hope those who were excited abt bottom!katsuki can still enjoy it 💖 also I didn't do a lot of explanations for prepping bby kats's booty hole but prep is always important
characters aged up +22
MDNI
---------------------------------------
You and your boyfriend are in bed. Katsuki is on all fours, head leaning down on the pillow with his ass in the air for you. You were on your shins, feet tucked under your butt as you dropped a glob of spit onto his hole, before leaning down and pressing your tongue against him to spread it around his rim. His hips jerked forward a bit, his semi-hard cock twitching between his legs.
"How does that feel, baby?" You asked, running your hands along the backs of his thighs, lightly massaging his legs.
He took a breath. "Feels okay. You can go in a little bit though."
You continued massaging him as you pressed your tongue inside, pushing your spit further into his hole. You rolled your tongue against him slowly, pulling away to spit again and spread it around. He was relaxing into the sensation, slowly rolling his hips against your mouth, letting out a small sigh you weren't sure you'd ever heard from him.
You continued working your tongue against him for a beat more before pulling away and reaching down to grab the lube beside you. You dropped a generous amount on his hole, and he whined a little. "S'fucking cold." He barked.
You massaged his ass cheeks a little to relax him again. "Sorry, my love, just wanna make sure everything goes smoothly." He nodded, and you went and grabbed a finger glove and spread the lube from his ass along your finger. "Are you ready, Katsuki? I'm gonna use my finger now."
He was quiet for a beat, then, "can I flip over?"
You smiled a little. "You wanna be on your back?"
He nodded. "I wanna see you."
You were flooded with warmth, both in adoration and arousal. "Of course you can, let me put the towel down." Once you were resituated, he was on his back laying diagonally along the bed. A few pillows propped him up a little and you leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "You sure you're ready? You don't have to do it just because I like it." You said, lifting your free hand to cup his cheek in your hand.
He gave you a hard look, his deep red eyes searching yours. "When I was...prepping, it felt alright. But then I imagined it was you inside me, and...I dunno, I liked that feeling. I wanna feel that it's you inside me. Even if it's toys or whatever, I want you to be the one to do it."
You smiled, kissing him again with more vigor, and he opened your mouth to press his tongue against you. You moaned, leaning into him and feeling his now fully erect penis press against your stomach. "Okay, but you gotta tell me if it hurts, okay?" He nipped at your bottom lip, giving you his signature smirk.
"Just fuck me already." You rolled your eyes at his bravado, but your excitement was renewed at his words.
You scoot back, leaning between his legs so you could fit on the bed laying on your stomach.
You lifted his legs so his knees were on your shoulders, giving you better access to his hole. You looked up into his eyes. "Ready now?"
He nodded, and you opened your mouth to tell him to use his words when he added. "Yeah, I'm ready."
You smiled at him, turning to plant a kiss on the inside of the knee closest to your face. You slowly circled his rim before pressing your finger inside. His breath hitched and you stopped, looking to check his face. "Let me know when I can move again." He was clenching around your finger, and his nerves were showing in his expression. "You're doing so good for me, Katsuki."
He breathed a little, reaching his hand down to grab at your free one, and you instinctively linked fingers. He visibly relaxed, and you felt him loosen around your finger. "Keep going."
You pressed your finger into him slowly until you were pressed all the way in, and once he gave the go ahead you pulled out enough that only your fingertip was still inside before pushing back in, checking his face for signs of discomfort.
He was breathing heavy, his fingers tight around yours, and you pressed kisses along his thighs. When you ran your tongue up his length, he twitched, and he let out the neediest moan you'd heard from him.
"Did you like that, baby?" You asked, looking up at him as you continued to thrust in and out of his hole.He nodded, though his head was tilted back and he wasn't looking at you. You squeezed his fingers to get his attention. "Gotta use your words, my love."
He grunted out some sort of complaint. "Feels fuckin' good, alright?" He said, his cheeks flaming. You thrust your finger into him again, taking just his tip into your mouth and sucking a little.
He cried out, letting go of your hand to grip the sheets. "Fuck yeah, baby," he groaned out, and you smiled up at him even if he wasn't looking at you.
You eventually worked your way up to two fingers, but by the third one he told you to get off his mouth. "I'll fucking bust if you keep that up, wanna wait until you're inside me."
You pulled off his tip with a pop, biting your bottom lip to keep from grinning too widely. "You think you're ready for it?" He was nodding before you even finished your sentence.
You were eager, your strap already on. You had chosen a moderately small cock so you wouldn't have to worry about hurting him too much, adding a generous amount of lube to both the strap and his hole. Once you were both ready, you were positioned between his legs, his arms wrapped around your neck, and you pressed the tip inside.
He whined, throwing his head back as he opened his legs even wider for you, and you paused to let him get reacquainted with having something inside him. "Keep going," he said after a minute, and you worked your way inside him little by little, watching the way he sucked your cock up into his hole.
"You're doing such a good job, baby." You said, once you had bottomed out inside him.
His eyes were closed, cheeks flushed and damp with sweat. "Bet your fucking ass I am." He said breathlessly.
You were pulling out slowly, then, once just the tip was in, you rolled your hips back into him slowly. He let out a single, low "fuck," and his cock twitched again.
After a couple more slow strokes, he looked up at you. "You can go faster, now." He said, and you leaned down to him as you rocked into him a little faster this time, swallowing his whimpers in a kiss.
You were properly fucking him now, ever few thrusts you'd brush against that spot and he'd let out a shaky breath. "Fuck, you feel so good inside me," he groaned, reaching around to grab your ass to push you in harder. "Harder." He said, and you pulled back and thrust into him hard. He cried out, throwing his head back before looking up at you between half closed eyes. "I love you," he whispered.
You melted at his words, pressing a kiss to him as you thrust into him hard again. "I love you too, Katsuki." You said, reaching a hand up to brush his hair from his forehead.
Your muscles were straining a little keeping up the rhythm, but he looked so good underneath you that you couldn't help but push through.
"I'm so close," he said, reaching down to stroke his own cock. He was grunting, and then he stopped, letting a little cry, his whole body shaking as cum shot out onto your stomach and chest, and you slowed your thrusts. He opened his eyes, and there was something so open, so vulnerable in the way he looked at you, you couldn't help but kiss him.
"That was so sexy, Katsuki. You looked so good cumming on my cock."
"Fuck, that felt so different." He was breathing hard, and he looked down at the mess between you both. "I'm a fucking mess."
"Well I'll be the one worrying about that, not you."
"But it's your birthday."
"And I just railed my boyfriend. I'm in heaven right now." You said with a grin. He flushed again, looking away from you. "Let me take care of you for once."
You were slowly pulling out, checking in with how he was feeling. Once you were out, you reached over and grabbed the wet wipes and cleaned your stomachs and his hole. "You wanna shower?"
He shook his head. "Just wanna cuddle with you."
You smiled sweetly at him, and you both changed before falling into a pile on the bed. He was halfway on top of you, arms wrapped around your middle and head nestled into your chest. "Did you enjoy that?" You asked, running your fingers along his back.
"Lot more than I thought I would. I came so fucking hard."
"Yeah you did. It was so sexy."
"You liked it too? Even if you weren't like...feeling anything?"
You shrugged. "Seeing how much I could turn you on, like how you turn me on when you fuck me, made me so hot for you. I loved seeing you like that."
"So you'd do it again?"
You paused. "Would you want to do it again."
He was quiet for a minute. "Yeah." He said after a moment.
You smiled, hugging him to you tightly. "You don't have to be shy about it, my love. If you like it or not you can be honest."
"I'd definitely like to do it again. Maybe not for a while, but yeah, I would."
You smiled, settling into an easy silence as you felt his heart beat against your chest. "Just wait until I really give you your present later." He said, and you could hear the smirk in his voice.
You laughed. "I thought this was my present?"
"No. When I can get up, I'm gonna blow your mind just like you did mine."

hi yes sO !! im broken. devastated. sobbing tears. hating MY life.
why? bc uNUSUAL LOVE ARTEM IS NOT REAL AND ONLY EXISTS THROUGH MY SCREEN [insert !! emoji]
this card .
THIS CARD !!! has me on my knees and wishing i could spend money on games when it was out during sott :/
the moments where both of these cgs occur has me in a chokehold where i’m just a crying and sputtering mess bc words don’t exist. emotions are a lie. i don’t know what’s real anymore.
ik it’s out officially from the top-up event and stuff, but i enjoy this creator’s videos and tls (plus the audio is s-cn, which is what i use ;w;) so if u don’t have the card and would like to read/watch it, then u can use this link here ^^
i’ll be talking abt the card story & video call w/ pictures UTC so ignore for spoilers !!
"Never apologize when it's between you and I."
okay. do u WANT me to cry again? bc i can and will and already am just going back over the transcripts gdi.
the fact this is back when they first started out as partners.... and they had to . act as husband and wife . and celestine was coaching them on how to act like a married couple . mrs. wing .
...
dhmu i’m literally in an unrequited, one-sided pining trope with them . #real
[ in context for rosa trying on jewellery for their mission with the client ]
artem: give it a try, baby.
sir. sIR. AAAAAAAA [falls to the floor and never gets up] i personally don’t like the terms “babe” or “baby” but artem using it seems so out of place that it makes me love him for it bc of the script celestine probably made them recite 😭
artem: then might as well buy them all. it's rare that they all match you so well. [artem speaks as he signals the service assistant to take out the necklaces of other colors, then asked again.] // is there a matching earring with this necklace? [artem looked at the design of the earrings and nodded slightly, then swiped his card right away.]
rosa’s thoughts: we've only been shopping for an hour, and I'm already incapable to calculate the amount that artem has swiped.
literally in tears for the nth time. artem is loaded and doesn’t hesitate to swipe his card for her 😭 he even went past what he was originally supposed to spendhfjgl <///3
his lil pout :((( when rosa told him she was going to return all the stuff he bought since it was for an act :(((( sobbing :’((((
[The sales assistants from the accessory shops are still the best to handle, the staff from the shoes and clothing areas have all put on a very "understanding" expression with the assumptions that I have gotten pregnant... The staff have all earnestly exhorted Artem and I to come back for new items 10 months later, I can't wait to disappear right away...]
THIS IS WHAT THE SALES ASSISSTANTS THOUGHT WHEN THEY RETURNED THE JEWELLERY 😭😭 I CANT WITH THIS GAME </////3
darius: the seller was worried that he'd be in trouble, then found a bottle to pour water and gave it to Luo Luo, and lodged a police report. // thank goodness... [Darius looked at Artem that has his hair and face drenched, and sighed lightly.]
i’m so.... so..... sobs. it’s the fact he jumped in front of her so that he would get hit instead, when the chances of it actually being sulfuric acid was there. i hate him sm /affectionate bc he makes me cri w/ his self-sacrificing behaviour :brokenheart:
anywho moving onto the lighter moments bc i don’t have the heart to talk abt their lil moment bc that fucking broke me into tiny shards of sophie and i don’t want to relive that experience :D
sobbing. tears are being sobbed. i’m a clown. i live in a circus day in, day out. life has no meaning when mc put on this adorable plaster on artem’s injury. gonna cry again goodbye :’D
artem: why are you at this again? we are partners, when it’s between us, there’s no need to say sorry.
SCREAMS HES SOODJFFFFFFKFSNFSDL <333
aND THE WAY HE TRIED TO COVER UP THE FACT HE BOUGHT ROSA A GIFT (the pair of earrings she really wanted to buy on her own later on) BY SAYING HE AND CELESTINE AGREED TO AS COMPENSATION FOR THE SITUATION 😭😭😭 AND WHEN CELESTINE HAD TO PLAY ALONG AFTER ROSA RAN INTO HER OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE 🤧 stop he’s so ugHJDFJLF <//3
artem: even if it’s a tiniest probability, i will not let you face danger. don’t be afraid. // me? if it were for me, i would make the same choice all over again. i’d still make the same decision.
sophie, sniffling with tears running down her cheeks: i lov u TヘT
#tears of sophie ; not themis#actually banging my head on a door#this is so unfair of life to give me these men in a fictional means and not irl /lh#5 hours until anniv banners are out….#artem if u dont come home in 5 hours i will keep reading ur card stories and make u feel guilty for making me cry sm even tho its my fault

brethren | buckshot x turnabout
pairing: turnabout/buckshot
warning/notes: bxb, unsafe sex (no condom)
summary: turn wants buck inside of him—raw—this time
word count: 2,289
When Turn finally brings it up to Buck, they’re both nearly naked making out with each other. While Buck’s lips press red marks on Turn’s neck, all while he’s sitting on his lap, Turn can feel himself grow more excited because he knows exactly how he wants to enjoy Buck today. His dick rubs up against the fabric of his briefs as he grinds on Buck, causing them to dampen.
“Hey?” He exhales as one of Buck's hands enters the back of his underwear and probes his ass with the other.
“Mm?” Turn whimpers as Buck bites down on his shoulder and grunts back.
Turn begins with, "I was wonderin," "If maybe…well," and "Just tell me, Turn." Turn is being squeezed by Buck as he softly says, "What is that?“ he backs up so they can look at each other.
"It's just…now that I don’t have to worry about any weird shit, since we're both just for each other, I was wondering if it might be okay if we didn't use a condom this time?"
Buck carefully looks at Turn as his eyes narrow a little. Focused on Turn's words rather than heavy petting, he stops moving up against his lover and extends his hands to Turn's hips.
"You don't have to do that for me, Turn." As he brushes back the taller man's hair, he says kindly, "I'm fine if we use protection. You know that.”
“Buck, please, I just want it.” Turn looks Buck dead in the eye while placing his hands on his cheeks. “I’m not saying we have to do it, but.” And because they’re so close, he leans in a little until it becomes difficult to focus on Buck's face. “I want it. Because I want you to fuck my ass raw, please. I'll sit on your face after if you're so concerned about anything, and you can clean me up.”
Buck's jaw opens slightly and his eyes widen. He takes a moment to process what he hears before pushing Turn onto the mattress and kissing him once more. Buck puts his hand in the front of Turn's underwear, two fingers rubbing against his hard cock, and the palm of his hand rubs up against his swollen head as Turn tries to grind against him.
"Have you ever allowed someone else to fuck you that way?" Turn hears Buck whispering in his ear. “Or am I the only one?”
Turn sighs and spreads his legs, clenching his fists around Buck's fingers. "N-no… Only you!”
Buck exhales, "I see," and then licks a stripe from Turn's earlobe to his neck. “You’ll have to work for it, if that’s what you really want. Until you get on my fingers, you can't come on my cock. Do you understand?”
“Yes!” Turn screams and desperately presses his hips against Buck's hand.He is baffled by Buck's remarkable self-control. He can see the outline of Buck's cock against his underwear when he looks down. “Shit, babe, I can do it. Please.”
Buck moves his hand so that his thumb is stroking against Turn's dick and a finger, then two, enter him slowly. Turn whines and continues to lower his hips against Buck's hand. They’ve only been in bed for a short amount of time, but he is pretty riled up, and his first orgasm usually happens pretty quickly. This time around is no different, and before he knows it, he's screaming and holding on to Buck as he rides out his orgasm against his lover.
He collapses back against the mattress after it’s over, grinning sloppily at Buck, whose hand is still between his legs, and exhaling heavily. His dick is still sensitive, but not to the point of being painful. His hole is wet, open, and ready for Buck's dick, but he'll need a few minutes before he's ready to rub another one out.
Speaking of which, Buck backs away from Turn and quickly removes his briefs from his legs, where they had been resting on his knees while Buck was touching him.After that, he inserts his thumb into the elastic waistband of his own underwear and pulls just enough on it to release his erection. As Buck gives himself a long, slow jerk, Turn moans and licks his lips as he watches. His thumb rubs against the head of his cock and pulls back his foreskin just enough to give Turn a good look at the flushed head.
"Is this the dick you want?" Buck asks, squeezing the shaft and cocking an eyebrow.
“Yessir!”
As Buck quickly takes off his underwear and tosses them on top of Turn's, Turn moans more words of praise immediately while spreading his legs and staring hungrily. With his hips slightly raised, Turn watches him and waits. His cock is beginning to regain interest.
"That's silly, Turn."Buck states, “Do you really think I’ll give you my dick without you having to work for it, hm?”
Turn trembles. Buck is really getting something from the manner in which he speaks. Even though the other man's voice is muffled, it still draws Turn's full attention.
"You’re the one who wants this, so you'll put in the effort to get it." While Turn and Buck lie down, the mattress moves beneath them. He turns his head to look at Turn while slightly arching his back and gripping his cock. He’s so stunningly beautiful that Turn’s gonna lose it.
"Stop it, cowboy." Turn teases.
After a brief pause, Buck smiles. “Giddyup.”
That makes them both laugh. Turn puts himself in the position of straddling Buck and looks down at him. Buck affectionately rubs his fingers against the skin that is adorned by his tattoos, barely visible beneath Turn's chest hair and are located above his pecs. Turn moves his hand down to hold up Buck's cock as he leans down to give him a quick kiss on the lips.
He rubs it a few times over his own dick and mutters loudly as he experiences the sensation of Buck's foreskin and cockhead sliding against his dick for the first time. They’d never had sex without a condom, and he’s already losing himself.
Turn realizes that he needs to move quickly when Buck squeezes his hips .He places Buck's cock underneath him and a little pressure is applied to feel it press against his hole. He takes his time, moving his hips down a few times before opening up and letting Buck in.Turn yelps and shuts his eyes. He can't stop thinking about how good it is to be Buck inside of him.
He smiles as he looks down at Buck after hearing him moan.He braces himself against Buck's chest as he reaches down to rub his thumbs on his nipples.Although Buck still has his hands on his hips, he’s not pulling Turn in any particular direction.
To get used to being stretched open, Turn moves down a little more. He starts working his hips over Buck's cock once he feels confident in his position. He loves how it feels as it moves inside of him.
“Faster.” Buck growls as he squeezes Turn a little in the hips with his blunt nails, pressing into the other man's tan skin. “You work hard for me to enter your ass. Understand?”
Turn gives a happy nod, leans slightly, and begins to bounce on Buck's cock. The bed has a slight creak. It's so satisfying. His hand is still on Buck's chest as he reaches down to play with his dick, jerking it between his thumb and index finger.
At this point, Buck has tightened his grip on him, and he is slightly sitting up with his legs open to give Turn more room. As Turn's back touches the mattress, he smiles up at Buck with an unfocused gaze and is more tense than when he started. He has a feeling that Buck will soon follow suit.
“Oh, you wanted me to do everything?” He asks, holding one of Buck's nipples in his hands and exhaling heavily.
"I also knew you wanted my cum," Buck responds immediately, slamming his hand away before moving. When Buck's dick hits Turn's prostate on the way in, he almost screams at the first powerful blow.
“Buck!” With tears in his eyes, Turn moans. “Don't stop, fuck, fuck!”
To make it easier for Turn to be stimulated, Buck slightly raises his hips.
"Keep touching yourself." He commands. “You should come on my cock, c’mon.”
"Yes!" he says. As Buck begins to fuck him without mercy, he can feel a second orgasm tugging at his insides, which is hot and a little bit painful. It occurs somewhat out of the blue. He is frantically chasing it one moment and then desperately stroking his dick with his other hand while biting down on his hand to stop screaming the next moment. Buck doesn't stop even when his orgasm is over. That's great. He shouldn't stop, according to Turn.
Now that he's not trying to cum, he's almost more aware of Buck's dick sliding inside him, wet from his own orgasm. Every time Buck's cock slides against him, he arches off the mattress and lets out a few embarrassing sounds that seem to push his lover on. The push and pull against him is almost overwhelming. Redness fills Turn's face.
"Good boy." Turn hiccups and shakes as Buck whispers into his ear. He’s beginning to feel a little overly sensitive now that his body has been given everything it needs. For the time being, it feels good, but he knows that if Buck doesn't cum again soon, he might have to tell him to stop. “Don’t move.” He continues, his hips stuttering a few times as Turn presses his face against his chest with his hips in a vice grip.
Although Turn doesn't really feel it, he knows it happened. Buck entered his body. He whimpers as a hidden aftershock buzzes through his body and his legs split open around Buck.
Turn's wet hair is smoothed down by Buck as he pulls back and wipes his tears away. He still grips his softening cock.
"Are you alright?” He softly asks.
“Yessir.” Turn smiles up at Buck as he responds with a mock salute.
“Good.” Turn begins to shift onto his side so they can snuggle when Buck pulls out, starting to spread Turn’s legs.
"Babe—I don't know, it's kind of messy, and—"
"Show me now." Turn's dick suddenly becomes very interested in what Buck has to say as he growls. He usually doesn't stay in the game long enough to have a third orgasm, but if Buck keeps talking like that, he's willing to have one. Despite this, Turn decides to follow the instructions after taking one more look at Buck's famished expression.
He reaches down, spreads his legs wide, and looks pointedly away because, frankly, this is fucking humiliating despite the extreme heat. Buck appears to be pleased with what he sees, grunting in appreciation.
"Push it out."He commands.
"Buck, that's disgusting--"
"Turn."
Turn does as instructed, whimpering. He suddenly cries again as he can feel some of Buck's cum slide out of his hole and down the curve of his ass.He would only do this for Buck.
“Beautiful.”Buck draws closer as he exhales.
He takes a deep breath and looks down between his legs while wiping his eyes with his free hand. After being played with so much, his ass is streaked with cum, and he can see Buck's release dripping out of him. He wants to take a picture of it all, savor it for ages. He tests the waters by moving his hand to give his dick a quick pump. Yup. That's great.
"Would you like to cum again?" Buck asks with tact. Turn smiles.
“I'll fuck you again and make you feel even better. Keep your mouth wide open, wanna hear you moan.” Turn whimpers as he watches Buck stroke himself gently. As they patiently wait for Buck's dick to tap back in, neither of them moves for a few minutes.
He climbs on top of Turn and gives him a kiss once more when Buck gets hard. This time is more focused and less hopeless. Turn just relaxes and enjoys the moment as Buck gently fucks him and tells him how much he loves him. Even though his third orgasm isn't as good as the first two, it's still damn good. Turn doesn't let go after Buck comes and leaves because he doesn't want Buck's reassuring weight on top of him to go away.
“…shower?” He asks. He feels more gross than tired at this point.
"I don't think so."Buck responds with a whisper before gently rubbing Turn. Don't you remember that we have dinner with Oscar?
“Fuck!” Turn raises his head to look at the time. 15 minutes until they have to leave; That’s barely enough time to prepare.
“Buck! You knew that! Idiot!. Why didn’t you say anything?”
"Because, Turn…" Buck gets up and looks down between Turn's legs once more. “I don’t know, I thought it would be fun. After you wash your face and put on your clothes again, we'll go to dinner. With my cum still inside.”
Turn chokes hard when he realizes what Buck is trying to say. So, Buck and his best friend, Oscar, are going to dinner with his boyfriend, who is full of jizz. Great.
“Okay.” Turn smiles as he whispers. “So hungry, glad we’re going.”
"Hehe, good boy." After saying it a second time, Buck kisses him and leans down. “And don't worry, I can help with that later if you still want food. Buck grabs his dick and winks at him.
Buck is lifted off the bed by Turn after he snorts.

Hm... SonElise with numbers 7 and 9? :3
Ooooo, anon hitting me with the interesting one.
DISCLAIMER: I don't give a shit whether anyone ships Sonelise, Roupaz, or Eggline like- who honest to God cares? The beastiality argument, which I'm so glad has died away over the years but some dumbasses keep bringing up, never really held any validity in my eyes. The Sonic characters have way more things in common with humans than they do animals - they are short weird mutant creatures that act like humans and have some animal features. So chill out - I'm tired and depressed, and we're all going to die soon so let's just fucking vibe.
That being said though...
I dislike this ship! - Are they an absolute NOTP, or are there very specific requirements a fanwork must have for you to enjoy them?
I don't seek out Sonelise content nor do I stumble across it often - but I think for me to enjoy them at all - Elise is in need of some, *some* amount of personality. I understand that Elise being reserved and non-expressive is kind of the *point* with her - because she's constantly restraining her emotions because of the fire demon - but with her being the way she is, I fail to see what SONIC sees in her. To me, it always seemed that Sonic would prefer a partner that could keep up with him and fight alongside him as an equal. Elise doesn't offer him that, quite the opposite - she was often the damsel he had to chase after. So I don't really see what was appealing about HER for HIM. She's strong, I get that - she didn't cry for like her whole childhood - that's a strong will right there, but just - it's hard to ship Sonic with a piece of cardboard, you know?
I see where the affection comes from on Elise's side - I can imagine her being in love with the guy who taught her to smile, run, and be free. i think she'd be happy to run off on Sonic's adventures alongside him, but she kind of needs to hold onto his hand the whole way - and I personally don't think Sonic would be in a romantic relationship like that. I feel like Elise would want a lot of affection as well - and we all know Sonic isn't really the type to give an abundance of it, especially romantically.
But for a fanwork - if you can expand on Elise's personality and give some concrete reasons as to why Sonic is interested - I dunno, I might check it out.
I dislike this ship! - Do you understand the appeal at all? Or do you not see how anyone could enjoy it?
I do see the appeal tbf. It's got similar elements to ships like Sonadow, Sonknux, Sonaze etc. - where Sonic helps out someone who is clearly struggling and is far more rigid than him - he teaches them to let loose and be free, and that is romantic - don't get me wrong! And tbf to Sonelise shippers - ya'll have more validity than most other Sonic ships because ya'll got a canonical kiss lmao. It's also got the general appeal of opposites attract - and maybe some people just want to see Sonic with a nice gentle lady and you know what? Good on you. I also think the ship is vague enough and dances around their feelings for each other to the point where you could slap any headcanon you wanted on it - which is totally valid, some people just like having the freedom. And I think some, not all but some, can probably self insert with Elise a bit - because still - she's a bowl of bland oatmeal with not much going on, so if you wanna project and imaginine yourself on a romantic expedition with Sonic the Hedgehog - Elise is your vehicle.
But anyways - thanks for the ask anon!

I think identifying with Harry DuBois is different than identifying with Shirou in that, while you’d need to be a really particular kind of person to identify with Harry’s specific circumstances and personality flaws, he’s so fucked up in so many different ways that a large amount of people will identify with at least one of his cringe fail traits. At least for me that was a big component in getting invested in the character and wanting him to improve/succeed in my first playthrough. Shirou, meanwhile, mostly just has like 3 things Very Wrong with him. Bear in mind that I have been guilty of calling him a self insert before though so between these two data points I may not be a reliable source
I think whether this makes someone more or less relatable probably depends on subjective opinion.
I feel like if a character has a lot of issues that I don't relate to then that can actually decrease the "they're just like me" meter more than the occasional hit might increase it.
This is especially true if you don't actually see yourself as very much of a "cringefail" type of character. I do have NPD after all, and have been pretty competent at practically everything I felt like making an effort to do throughout my life (as well as certain things I didn't even have to try for). I have joked that I'm a Mary Sue nerfed by god.
I feel like there isn't really one single trait that can make me identify strongly with a character. It generally has to be a combination of things and they have to be sufficiently present.
For example, Kohak--

One of the YouTube comments of all time oh my GOD
Found on this video
[Image ID: A YouTube comment from user @sire-dame-sander It reads:
Image 1
as promised here in MY Insane Cats Fandom Story. formatting this greentext style bc it’d be fucking unreadable as a big block of text
- be me
- cats the musical fan, dumb teenager
- in groupchat with several other cats the musical fans
- our number one group activity is keeping up with this one fanfic, “the silver protector and me”
- it’s 70k words of munkustrap x the author’s self insert oc
- from the moment you pick TPSAM up it’s not great from a writing perspective but the further you read the more unhinged the plotlines get
- everyone can shapeshift into normal cats with no explanation. the main character is french n everybody else is incredibly aroused by it. all the girl cats frequently body shame the main character for being too skinny. the love interest is abusive towards his son because he thinks he might be gay. there’s a bunch of sex slavery just like an insane amount
- this isn’t really that alarming to us. obviously the author might sort of be goin through it but at the end of the day it’s just a fanfic
- however. there is also an author’s note at the end of every chapter where the author (we’ll call her jazzie after her self insert) shares wayyyyy too much about her life
- we learn a bunch through these. she’s british. she has a terrible ex. she loves the guy who’s she’s currently dating but he hates cats the musical. she’s been to cats the musical 115 times. she has a 7 year old son
- she also links her instagram + tumblr. maybe this was a dick move of us but being teenagers we check them out
- jazzie’s instagram is pretty normal other than the fact that everyone but her looks miserable in every photo
- whatever. they might just have resting bitch face
- jazzie’s tumblr is CRAZY
- we discover that she’s been in several bona fide large scale scandals - you name it jazzie has posted it. most recently she’s gotten in trouble for comparing the traditional body modification of various unrelated african cultures to, and I quote, “dumb bimbos getting too much plastic surgery”
- she’s also fighting on a daily basis with people who hate her fanfic over its various Issues, including one heated debate with an actual sex trafficking survivor
- about a week after we start checking in on jazzie’s tumblr, she posts that she’s going to be taking a break n moving all her mutuals into a discord server
- this server will also house the live drafting of new chapters of TPSAM
- being idiot teenagers we decide we HAVE to get into this server to watch TPSAM get drafted live. its siren song is far too strong for morals to assuage us
- in an attempt to gain mutualhood before jazzie leaves for good, I create my cishetsona
- her name is abi n she’s a 17 year old girl living in indiana who loves only two things: cats the musical and her homophobic 23 year old fiancée who works in his dad’s garage
- she’s a closet tuggoffelees shipper as well but she openly ships mistoffellees/victoria (which is for some reason the default straight ship in cats even though victoria canonically hooks up with plato. no I’m not sure why either)
- abi begins participating in the cats the musical fandom by posting annoyingly heterosexual content
- within one (1) week, this has gotten her into jazzie’s discord
- a few of my co conspirators have played the same trick. there’s maybe four or five of us in there
- inside this discord we are exposed to fandom drama we never even knew existed
- jazzie frequently complains to the server about her current boyfriend. she hates how much he dislikes cats the musical, n hates even more that he’s always telling her to pay more attention to their kids (plural) instead of writing cats the musical sex slave fic
- do you remember how I only mentioned the 7 year old son earlier. this is the first mention we hear of another kid
- the next day something terrible happens
Image 2
- we MEET the other kid
- he is 12 years old n he is a SERVER MODERATOR
- this means he’s been fully privy to the active drafts of his mother’s super explicit cats the musical sex slave fanfic
- apparently nobody on the server was aware this moderator was jazzie’s son either, because her genuine mutuals seem just as shocked as we do
- at this point one of the real mutuals snaps n tells jazzie that while she loves TPSAM, kids shouldn’t be anywhere near it. a good half of the server enthusiastically agrees with this
- jazzie takes this as a personal attack on her parenting abilities n the server fucking implodes
- a couple days later the whole thing gets taken offline
- abi gets a message from jazzie apologizing for the whole situation n thanking her for not attacking her like everyone else
- I don’t have the energy left to tell her abi isn’t real, so abi says “thank you. it’s no problem”
- there is brief discussion of reporting jazzie to some kind of authority, but we decide that’ll probably only make it worse for her kids, so we don’t
- we figure she got the message to not involve her preteen son in the drafting of her sex slave fanfiction when all of her friends left her - TPSAM has not updated since. I really hope it’s because jazzie stopped neglecting her kids for it
- it’s for the best she stopped. I hope her family is doing better now
- but frankly I’m a bit sad we’ll never get lines like “can I cum in you?” “oui!” ever again

BnHA Chapter 324: Is There a Force Field Around Him??
Previously on BnHA: Flashback!Rat Principal was all “please tell Midoriya that I spent a concerningly small amount of money upgrading U.A. into a wacky physics-defying funtime grid so as to make the final battle much more confusing for everyone.” Present Day!Mic (or Present!Mic, if you will) and Jeanist were all “if only somebody could deescalate this dangerously unhinged mob, we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.” Ochako was all “LISTEN UP PEOPLE.” The mob was all, “god??” Ochako was all, “NO, IT’S ME, OCHAKO. I’M REALLY HIGH UP ON THIS BUILDING AND THE VISIBILITY IS LOW DUE TO THE RAIN, SO I CAN SEE HOW YOU MIGHT MAKE THAT MISTAKE. ANYWAYS, DEKU WAS OUT THERE RISKING HIS LIFE FOR YOU CLOWNS EVEN THOUGH HE’S JUST A KID, SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD ALL REMEMBER HOW TO BE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS, THANKS.” Let’s see if her Big Scolding Energy has any impact.
Today on BnHA: Horikoshi is all “so I have this speech planned out, and it’s really good, but it also only really needs about 6 to 8 pages, but I’m gonna see if I can stretch it out to 17 pages so I can kill time before we get to the next volume cliffhanger two weeks from now.” Anyway but it really is a good speech though. There are feels, and tears, and more talk about how Deku is so in need of a shower that just looking at him requires a tetanus booster, and more feels, and more tears, and bonus ship drama, and an iconic callback to the very first chapter which reframes the entire series in a new context in a totally epic and moving way, and it’s all very good. Except that Horikoshi is determined to never let anyone actually give this kid a hug. Who hurt you, dude.
omg we are opening on a callback to chapter 212, a.k.a. the chapter with by far the cutest flashback that doesn’t involve any baby Todorokis
baby Ochako is lethally cute. she could literally murder someone with her cuteness. I just want to scoop her up and play airplane with her until she accidentally activates her quirk while we’re spinning around and we both helicopter up into the air never to be seen again
“a child’s insistence” huh well that’s all well and good, but I sure hope this doesn’t mean we’re going to drag out the whole “sternly lecture the obnoxious citizens” plot for another whole chapter. no offense but I think we’re good
so page 2 is just continuing the whole happy/worried faces monologue, which of course is very important to Ochako’s character as it provides the context for why “who protects the heroes” ended up becoming her thing. and this is making me think we actually are in for a whole second chapter of this sob. when will my boy finally get to rest
OH MY GOD SUDDENLY THESE PEOPLE HAVE EYES IMAGINE THAT
HORIKOSHI: [reaches for a box of tissues while tearfully penning an homage to his beloved Spider-Man 2, specifically the train scene where the crowd sees Peter without his mask and they suddenly realize just how young he is]
HORIKOSHI’S HOMAGE SCENE: “COME TO THINK OF IT, I GUESS IT WAS KIND OF MEAN FOR US TO PICK ON THIS TEN YEAR OLD KID WHO WEIGHS 75 POUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE HE LOST A FIGHT WITH SATAN’S MOLDY OLD BASEMENT”
lol at this one guy who can feel the mood of the crowd shifting and is all “WAIT, NO, I WANTED TO KEEP BEING AN ASSHOLE DAMMIT”
as many pointed out last week, this man is wearing an All Might shirt. that’s some fantastic irony there
-- SDKFJWIGKS
“LITTLE GIRL, I HOPE YOU’RE NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE WALKING AROUND DRESSED LIKE A SOVIET-ERA BUS STOP.” heh. last week I said I was ashamed of BnHA being my favorite manga. that was a lie, actually
(ETA: in the original Japanese Ochako’s next two lines are basically “the only ones covered in mud will be us heroes!” followed by “please give us some time to get rid of the mud”, with that second line basically being the single funniest thing I’ve ever read rdslkjl. Ochako thank you so much for supporting my running gags. “YEAH WE KNOW HE’S DIRTY. WE ARE GONNA TRY AND CLEAN HIM UP, BUT IT MAY TAKE A WHILE, I’M JUST SAYING. I MEAN LOOK AT HIM. HE LOOKS LIKE AN ASBESTOS COSPLAY.”)
doesn’t the megaphone kind of look ever so slightly like an axe that she’s wielding maniacally here
easy there Lizzie Borden
also that’s a really bold claim to make there. and not one she necessarily should have to make, either. but as we all know, there’s nothing that shounen manga likes more than having its heroes bravely hoist heavy burdens of responsibility like good self-sacrificing citizens
p.s. lowkey loving how Kacchan is positioned here standing slightly behind Deku. not presuming to stand in front of him all overprotectively (because he would hate if anyone ever did that to him), and kind of being unobtrusive and letting others take center stage -- but still being close enough to Deku that he can catch him if he stumbles or passes out again
(ETA: or maybe not lmao.
DEKU: [falls to his knees]
KACCHAN: [glancing up from his phone a few minutes later] “someone just sent me the stupidest meme about milk crates -- oh. uh. you good...?”
really, son. “the burdens you can’t carry, we’ll carry them for you. ...later, I mean. right now it’s late, and we’re all cold and wet.”)
also lowkey loving this OchaTsu moment here
I was going back and binging Ochako chapters this past week for reasons, and I gotta say it really stuck out to me just how often these two are paired with each other. they do everything together. it’s a really sweet friendship that often goes unappreciated but it’s very cute
meanwhile, not to be outdone by the OchaTsu, Iida is staring at Ochako with open admiration talking about how she’s fighting too. it’s been so long since we’ve had any IidaRaka you guys. I was starving and I didn’t even know it
oh my lord IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING
THE LIGHT IS BACK. he finally looks like him again. what a cathartic fucking moment omg
ffklkdw
“I KNOW YOU ARE ALL SCARED, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE DEFINITELY CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY AND WE ARE ALL SCARED TOO!” good pep talk there kiddo
BUT, jokes aside, truth be told this is the exact right approach to take imo, and something that’s long overdue. I’ve said this before, but this new generation of heroes is shaping up to be much more transparent than the All Might generation. they’re basically abandoning the almighty, untouchable Superman “heroes as gods” concept in favor of the more nuanced “heroes as people” concept instead. and that’s a good thing. seeing their heroes as humans, with human limitations and weaknesses and flaws, will hopefully not only lead to more scrutiny and accountability, but also more awareness of how hard some of them are working and how much they’re sacrificing. that’s something All Might never quite grasped back at the start of the series -- that the weak, vulnerable, injured him could be just as inspiring as the mighty, invincible him -- perhaps even more so. there’s a power in seeing otherwise ordinary people show extraordinary bravery and compassion. it inspires others to try and do the same
SSDLHK AIZAWA SIGHTING AAHHHHHH
so he was still back at the hospital this whole time?? smdh at this disrespect. that feeling when your sexy self-insert character’s powers of rationality are too strong, and so you have to nerf him so that he doesn’t ruin your Deku Angst arc twice over by (1) immediately talking some sense into Deku and making him come home Right This Instant Young Man, and (2) not allowing him to leave U.A. in the first fucking place. excuse me, you want to do WHAT now, Midoriya?? that’s it, go to your room
also living for Katsuki and Hawks’s soft expressions. Shouto’s too, although his is tinier and harder to see. and Jeanist’s 12-foot-long neck. imagine Jeanist’s head with Mic’s hair. maybe Jeanist had a mohawk back in the day and that’s why U.A.’s doors are so big now
speaking of soft faces, Enji’s is also excellent
what could this random close-up possibly imply?? hell if I know. but Horikoshi truly fears no discourse and that’s what I love about him
OMGGGG
“smh my child is so dumb.” poor Ochadad. your child is cute af count your blessings
SDOFFHSMH
I’m telling you guys. lethally, catastrophically cute
this speech is still ongoing lol. Horikoshi you’re doing so good but I think we get the point now my dude. you gotta learn how to transition out of these things
UNEXPECTED TOGA WHAT
“there we go” Horikoshi says, crossing off the last line on his list of Ochako ships. “that’s all of ‘em”
poor Ochako is just repeating the same “LET HIM REST, PLEASE, WITH EVERYONE’S COOPERATION, IF YOU DON’T MIND, WE APPRECIATE IT” talking points over and over again hoping someone will throw her a bone and acknowledge her already. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP HER
literally they’re all just staring up at her silently omg. work with me people!!
now she’s saying it for the 56th time but more dramatically all of a sudden
they got so dramatic that for a minute I thought she had suddenly leaped off the building or something
look, not to rush you or anything Horikoshi, but I’m starting to get the feeling that this is yet another one of those “the volume is ending soon so I need to either hurry things up or slow things down in order to make sure we end it on my perfect cliffhanger ending” chapters where you go to ridiculous lengths to drag things out much to the exasperation of your week-to-week readers
(ETA: ftr, volume 31 ended on chapter 306, and I’m predicting that vol. 32 will end with chapter 316 (a.k.a. “you’re next!” [explodes]). I’m guessing vol. 33 will follow suit and likely end on chapter 326, so keep your eyes peeled for a big cliffhanger in two weeks’ time. Deku’s dad?? All Might in peril?? U.A. traitor at long fucking last?? we shall see.)
is Deku straight up falling in love with Ochako right on the spot lol what is happening
I know I just said that I enjoy when Horikoshi gives zero fucks about discourse, but shipping discourse is a whole different beast lol. I hope he’s prepared
(ETA: and for the record, I have no interest in shipping discourse either, as always. and I think this scene can be interpreted as platonic, tbh, with the context being that Ochako was literally introduced as someone who was willing to help him so casually without a second thought, and now here she is saving him again.
I don’t think it really fully hit Deku until this moment how much he needed saving. like I said in another meta somewhere, selflessness is basically just selfishness on behalf of others. and Deku is selfless to a fault, but that’s okay, and it doesn’t mean he needs to change -- he just needs friends who are willing to be be selfish on his behalf in turn. and I think the full emotion of what it means to have friends like that just hit him at last. everything his friends have done for him, how much he needed it and didn’t even realize, and how grateful he is. anyways what a terrible day for rain.)
-- son of a --
is he apologizing?? or pleading?? please tell me that’s not the case, because what the actual fuck. Deku you beautiful precious radiant selfless child, this is the exact opposite of how this should be. all these motherfuckers should be on their knees apologizing to you
DEKU WHY
I DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS FREAKING BOMBARDMENT OF EMOTIONS GODDAMIT. OUT HERE ARMED WITH YOUR FREAKING TREBUCHET OF FEELS TO LAUNCH AT ME UNPROVOKED. WHAT’S WITH THAT
FREAKING CHRIST. THIS BOY IS CRYING HIS EYES OUT AND HORIKOSHI IS JUST ZOOMING IN WITH THE CAMERA, LIKE CAN WE JUST CUT HIM A BREAK ALREADY. ENOUGH OF THIS. HE’S SO YOUNG AND HE TRIES SO HARD AND I JUST NEED HIM TO FEEL SAFE, HORIKOSHI PLEASE CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME THAT ALREADY WHAT IS THE FREAKING HOLD UP!!
GIGANTIC FOX LADY!!!
GIGANTIC FOX LADY PLEASE BE MY HUGGER BY PROXY!! SERIOUSLY GIRL IF YOU JUST HOLD YOUR UMBRELLA OVER HIM OR SOMETHING AND DON’T GO THE EXTRA MILE I’M ABOUT TO LODGE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS NOW
!!!!
A KOUTA IS GOOD TOO!!! oh my god if Kouta hugs him I will seriously 100% straight up cry. go on and test me
FOR THE LOVE OF --
is this man expressly forbidden from drawing hugs in his contract or something. DO YOU DO IT JUST TO SPITE ME?? this is tyranny, sir
AND I KNOW, THIS PAGE ACTUALLY CHALLENGED THE VERY PREMISE OF THE SERIES ITSELF, AND HERE I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT HUGS, OR THE LACK THEREOF. “this is the story of how we all became the greatest heroes.” and just like that, he waves a polite middle finger at all of the Strongest Greatest Chosen One shounen protags of old, in favor of something much less conventional, much more interesting, and much more suited to Deku’s character. because if that one sentence doesn’t just sum up Deku to a T. he gladly relinquishes his Greatest Hero status in favor of acknowledging the hero in everyone. what a class act. that’s my protagonist
I love this kid so fucking much I swear. only just PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. GIVE HIM HIS HUG

“Oh, Baby!” Time Traveling Child? Dateables Reaction to It Being Their Child.
(Luke's reaction is towards Simeon's Child)
"Oh Baby!" Older Brothers Reactions
"Oh Baby!" Younger Brothers Reactions
This was really fun! Thanks, everyone for reading! <3
The rain was absolutely horrendous so seeing a demonic version of yourself completely soaked and coddling a bundle was hard enough as it was. What the fuck? This probably is bad.
“Here! Please, I don’t have time! Take the baby, [Insert name] is the father! I’m sorry, I have to go!”
Future self. Time travel. Giant mess. Now… a toddler.
Solomon’s Child-
Firstly, the concept of you having a child with this man never occurred to you. Secondly, well, this child is clearly demonic. Lucifer equals one flaming boss demon. However, there’s really no denying that the baby has his grey eyes and physical features. Walking over to Purgatory Hall with the brothers in tow… definitely a miserable affair.
Getting him alone and talking about it, he would just listen. Silence. Then he would ask to see the baby. Oh, my goodness. The smile curling on his lips is amazing! After long moments of him rocking the baby, he glances at you. “What shall we do? How would you like to proceed?”
Cue odd shrugs and laughs. Two humans and a demonic baby. You both decide it would likely be best to ask Lucifer. Even if he is the smartest human you know, demonic children might have a vast difference in care. He has books, but well, that could end up miserably for you both.
Lucifer reluctantly sits you both down, very reluctantly. The rest of the brothers are quite frustrating throughout the conversation, but the consensus of you staying with them at House of Lamentation for the child’s safety is firm. Solomon doesn’t argue; however, he is unequivocal on his presence. Again, no arguments from anyone… reluctantly.
To say you had things in place at home in record time is an understatement. Barbatos was already there, unpacking and building furniture. (It definitely pays to have a pact with that demon!) He got to work with the demon as you were instructed to not lift a damn finger. Have you ever seen him roll up his sleeves for hard labor instead of magic? Now you did.
He is actually the best human partner for this oddity. Not only does he work his ass off, he actually took plenty of the load, often staying overnight to the demons' mega annoyance. Feedings, no problem. Wards, a cinch. You were clearly his partner, companion, and equal parent in this. Lessons, instruction, and fun. Never has there been such a pleasantly leveled and curious father.
This demonic child was spoiled with magic, riches, and knowledge. Hyper-intelligent child, and it knew it. Good luck keeping them from Papa and his magic. It isn’t until you’re well established as a family that Solomon takes your hand and tells you he’ll love no one else but both of you for the rest of his life; it’s genuine. An odd adventure for an odd family.
Simeon’s Child-
Oh, holy guacamole. How? How will you explain this? The cute little dark child in your arms bears a striking resemblance to the angel, but, well, it’s a demon. Lucifer is uncomfortable. All the brothers are shockingly silent. Hm.
Walking over to Purgatory Hall is an uncomfortable affair. Heck, sitting down in his room with him was a bit uncomfortable as well. The amount of oddity having to explain to an angel what happened with your demon self and this child was complex. Simeon listens and sips his tea. Writing away on some parchment.
He actually is surprisingly calm. Soon a page is sat in front of her and explains his plan. First, you need to be taken care of with the baby. He has to communicate the oddity to Michael and prepare. Prepare? Overwhelming how calm he is.
It isn’t until he actually holds the baby that his calm demeanor softens to joy. It starts as a flicker on his face and then morphs to a deep laugh. Compliments beyond the norm. Your courage. Your patience. Your beauty. Perfection. All the things he confesses he wished he would have said before this incident, which he definitely isn’t regretful about.
A delicate situation, and you both know it. Deciding it’s best for you and the baby, Simeon insists, for now, for you to return to the House of Lamentation with his former brothers. There are tons of things he has to arrange before any sudden changes could take place.
The walk back is easier, and the brothers relax a bit more, even with both angels and a sorcerer in tow. Lucifer had already expedited orders for the child and you while you were talking with Simeon, which he was grateful for. Simeon immediately gets to work as you sit in your room. He builds everything by himself and helps you organize the space. Lingers.
It’s actually a week of him coming over and visiting before he asks if he could stay with you in the rocker he bought for you and the baby. Gentle, soft, and holds the child all evening. Whispers and soft lullabies. It didn’t matter that the child was a demon. He was so tender.
After a while, you start to see the artistry of his guidance and tenderness. Spending time at Purgatory Hall with the angels, he teaches the child about his writing, duties, and obligations. The most important rule; “You must always remember, no matter where I am, you have to take care of them, it's your duty.” The sternest he ever would be was with that rule.
Simeon eventually has you move in as you become the kindest family in the Devildom. Simeon is a wonderful partner and father, but it’s his oddly angelic demon child that is the true oddity. Too angelic. Manipulative as hell with big beautiful eyes and a soft tone. Luckily his father is there to keep that in check. Your little angel with horns and papa’s smart, sweet demon. Such an interesting family of all three realms.
Luke’s Experience with Simeon’s Child-
First off, you walk into Purgatory Hall with a demon baby! It’s yours? Oh, he’s one confused little angel! He endures the whispering of the demons and the subtle amusement of Solomon.
You both come back down, and he nearly faints! Simeon’s baby is a demon! Simeon had a baby? Oh, from the future? Even more peculiar! Totally confused.
Follows you both over and asks questions the entire way. You were a demon? How? How could you birth a demon? You’re the sweetest human in the world! He just tries so hard to retain how his two favorite beings in the realms could have a demon child.
It isn’t until he actually holds the baby that his confusion tapers. He is near crying at how sweet the little bundle is. A baby. Your baby! Demon or not, it’s Simeon’s and yours. Becomes super possessive of you three and tries to keep the other demons away.
He begs Simeon every day to have you move in. A happy family! A real family! Super duper excited. Solomon is the crazy uncle, Simeon is the dad, you’re the other parent, and he could be the baby’s big brother and guardian angel!
He is absolutely the best proxy big brother. Teaches the baby everything about the Celestial Realm. Shows the child how to be a better demon… unfortunately, it is a demon, but there’s still hope! He can show him how to be an amazing demon of compassion!
The child does become like a little sibling to him. Often being able to get him to do what he wants with a smile and promise to be good and listen. Poor little angel can’t help it. He spoils the baby rotten, to the point where you have to actually parent both of them quite a bit… to Simeon’s pure amusement. What an odd little family you all become.
Barbatos’s Child-
Probably the most unusual and unexpected result from the oddity. However, it makes somewhat sense… the time traveling and everything. Lucifer actually hides the child from his brothers and immediately walks you over to the Demon Lord’s Castle. The conversation is quite tense, but he seems more worried to just get you there than anything.
Once there, Lucifer has tea with Lord Diavolo while you sit with Barbatos and explain the event. Completely unreadable. He sips his tea, listens, and examines the baby. If he was in denial or joyous, you wouldn’t even know. This demon is a master of emotions.
It’s when the conversation lolls that he asks for the baby. Taking off his gloves, he accepts the child and the hint of a smirk plays on his lips. Instead of any pithy dialogue or confusion, he begins to instruct you on the best ways to take care of his child. Not for his own benefit, but yours. Ways to make your life easier. Tricks, tips, possible items that will substantially improve your lives.
Doesn’t beg, offer or demand for you to choose where you want to live. Nope. This demon is a busy busy boi and doesn’t have time to improve your life if it becomes sad or stressed. Instead, he offers options. Several, in fact, while he rocks his child and his smile grows through the conversation.
The immediate issue is your comfort and the baby’s stability. He’s well accustomed to the concept of you bringing oddities of some sort to the Devildom and this wasn’t a surprise, though, he hadn’t seen it coming. The House of Lamentation is best, if only for him to reorganize space for you when you come to visit, which you will, right? The first hint of doubt entered his face in likely centuries. Of course you would!
Probably the easiest demon in the world to plan with, because he always has a plan. However, he’s more than willing to accommodate both of you if it’s not up to your standard or comfort. Gets the time away from the castle after the conversation to set up your room for you both at the House of Lamentation; it’s temporary, you both know that.
Diavolo had already nearly broken your fingers about moving into the castle… to Lucifer’s dismay. No, this was for what comes after. The reorganizing and baby proofing of the castle. He would do this all himself. Also expect a visit from him everyday, and more texts than you probably ever received from the conservative demon. He was about agenda, proper behavior, and comfort. His child was going to be raised in that atmosphere whether he was there or not.
As far as fathers go, he has the care and instruction down to an exemplary level. Especially after you move into the castle. You both are now a secular piece of Diavolo’s distractions, to his minor annoyance. However, it always gave him time to spend with his child and you. He’s softened a bit, laughed more, and you definitely don’t go without and neither does his child.
It seems to happen organically. One day you both went from being close while raising a demon child, to being together. A hand gliding within yours. A kiss that misses a cheek and overshoots to your mouth, quite possibly out of bold desire. Then it evolves to all of you just being together, as a family. Probably the slowest burn of the century, but who would change it.
His child is vastly inquisitive and quiet. Often you have to bring the silliness out in both father and child. He is quite the stickler for rules and so you tend to have to bend them just a bit to spoil your sweet and polite child. Both definitely need the human sweet side of you as a parent, because without you, they wouldn’t know when to laugh and just enjoy time… you know, instead of controlling it.
Diavolo’s Child-
Oh, the stars in the Devildom! You nearly hyperventilate as you race inside to get Lucifer. You have to go, like now. He can’t even get the words out of your mouth as you’re yanking him out the door to the Demon Lord’s Castle. He asks you twice about the baby. You say fucking nothing! Why? Because well, this is a Devildom heir! Not a word leaves your lips until you’re at the castle stairs.
Once inside the castle, out of breath and still trying to catch up yourself… you see Barbatos first. He doesn’t ask, just directs you and Lucifer straight to your goal. You definitely don’t tell him alone. Both of them are in the room with you as you explain the events that transpired and the clear indication that this was, in fact, his child.
His first reaction is a dislocated jaw and almost falling over the arm of the couch when he sat down. His second is begging to please hold the baby. Not asking, not demanding, but a full-on pout. He holds the bundle and sighs, nuzzling, chuckling, and beaming. “I always dreamed you’d be beautiful, but I never thought you’d take my breath away.”
Over the moon. Good luck getting your child back. Actually, it seems as orders began to be given to Lucifer and Barbatos that you weren’t a part of them. Likely due to you being human. However, that course of thought is quickly changed when he smiles at you. He asks you what room you would like, knowing you prefer privacy for the care of your child.
Nope. No getting out of this one. You’re being moved to the castle immediately. You, of course, will keep your room at the House of Lamentation for visits, but it just wouldn’t be ideal to have an heir and its parent not in luxury and protection. (Plus, it finally gives him an excuse to have you to himself, if only a few hours a day!)
Talk about the king of pushovers. This demon prince is not one of discipline. No, his child will receive anything and everything. You as well. Can he call you royal highness yet? Is it too soon? Barbatos happily waits on you and the child, Diavolo insists. You and Barbatos actually have to map out a plan for instruction and rules for both father and child… funny enough.
Your trips to the House of Lamentation are always escorted by Barbatos and him now. If you spend the night, which you like to… it’s always with the brothers having to be very aware of your health, welfare, and happiness. The baby is spoiled rotten with attention, even by Lucifer, who has you both sit with him in the study for some peace in the evenings.
As far as being a papa, he has it down. Speeches about responsibility, respect, and kindness often leave his lips in walks through the garden with his child in hand. He talks about his life, how important those lessons were, and how it will never be alone. You are treated as a jewel atop the crown of the Devildom… Fucking help the demon that thinks you’re not now. He’s quite protective of you both.
Family life is something that’s almost expected after such an oddity. He treats you with unguarded admiration and affection, but you call the shots as far as what he’s allotted. (Let’s be real, he’s damn charming, and you’re a lucky, lucky human!) His child is wild and bouncy, but your little demon. Loves its papa but definitely knows you’re the best. Dignified but silly, and both of them make up happily ever after you never thought would be possible.

You’re My Everything
“Did you see that?”
“What the f-”
“The correct answer is no, no you didn’t. Now walk faster.”
Draco Malfoy grabbed her arm, pulling Hermione into the crowds shuffling the streets of London. There was no time. He didn’t care that muggles could see them and people were staring. If they didn’t go now, she would get hurt.
For shits sake, why of all days did an Auror have to insert their ass into his business. And why, of all people, did it have to be her? Not that he didn’t mind having her around- quite the opposite, really.
More heads were turning. He picked up speed, cursing. It didn’t help that she doubled as a popular figure in the parliament for the Ministry. Or that she was wearing a now-muddy ball gown as they dashed through the sidewalk.
“Draco Malfoy I am going to murder you in five bloody seconds if you don’t tell me what’s going on,”
Her eyes were blazing. A hand shot out, reaching for a seam in her dress. He barely managed to intercept it, lacing her fingers in his.
“If you pull your wand out, in five seconds we’ll both be dead,” he snapped, ignoring the warmth of her skin. Instead, his attention was directed over his shoulder. Ice settled in his stomach as hundreds of leathery, winged creatures exploded into the air behind them.
“Shit,”
“What the hell are those?” she breathed. His hand fumbled for hers and within seconds they were off. Screeching filled the air, unearthly screams following them. This time she ran without complaint.
“They wouldn’t be here if you’d let me finish the damned ritual,” he growled, tugging her into a dank alley. “Thanks to your meddling self, there’s a giant hole between the demonic plane and ours. Climb.”
She stepped up onto the fire escape, quickly scaling the rusted metal.
“I think I ought to ask why you were illegally summoning demons in the first place,”
“And I think you shouldn’t,” he retorted. She smirked, grimly shaking her head.
“Typical you. We go out for drinks on Saturday and once I’m convinced you’re mentally stable, you decide to end the world,”
It was becoming increasingly difficult to not look up her skirts. Apparently Hermione was having similar thoughts because with a loud crack she disappeared, reappearing on the fifth story.
“Put your wand away,” Draco barked, flinching as a deep purple thing swooped over the stairs. He uttered a strangled noise, nearly falling off the fire escape. Hermione amusedly drummed her nails on the brick, waving her wand. With a sudden jerk, he appeared on the roof.
“I just saved your life. If you’re going to take me away from my job of saving those down below, at least try to have some sense in your brain,”
“We’re dead, you idiot,”
She looked at him with confusion.
“Why are we dead? Pray tell me, who do you think is responsible for dragging me onto a roof where demons are trying to claw my face out?”
To make her point, she drily lifted her arm, incinerating a bat-like creature in the swarm above.
He hissed.
“Get down. Now.”
“Not this stupid listen-to-my-command-bu-,”
She didn’t get to finish her sentence. Draco tackled her, covering her on the concrete with his body. Hermione flailed and protested beneath him, making him painfully aware of her proximity.
And the screeching began, followed by the whooshing of wings.
“You’d better shut it,” he murmured in her ear. “These things only have one way to stay anchored here. Magic fuels there existence so they need to consume it non-stop. They don’t need your precious muggles. At the moment, the only people who can summon it in the middle of London are us,”
“But I’m a muggleborn,”
Her breath was hot on his cheek. “You just did magic three times, no? The problem with muggleborns is that because they don’t have magic in there blood they instinctively draw in impossible amounts before casting spells. You just let hundreds of fucking demons know that you have what they want.”
She shuddered, her breathing becoming uneven. Her irises dilated with fear. In response, he pressed himself harder against her, covering her face in the crook of his neck.
“You want to stay high,” he continued, his voice becoming hoarse, “Because the wind carries your signature away. If we didn’t keep moving after you apparated, it would have been suicide. And I’m in this ridiculous position because if demons can’t see you, it’s immensely hard for them to find there target,”
He shuddered as the sound of wings thundered closer. She was trembling now, her wand freely rolling away.
“Why do you care?”
He stiffened, fingers digging into the ground.
“I’ve known you for two years and in all that time you hardly ever do anything for anyone. For crying out loud, you missed Pansy’s last birthday to stay at home with your cat,”
His jaw was clenched, firmly tucked over her head as he tried to regain some semblance of control. “Because I don’t have any attachment to anything anymore. So I thought that after I accidentally unleashed hell, I might as well save someone I know,”
He felt her smile into his chest. The sensation caused him to inhale sharply. She did it again.
“At the very least I can say that I’m glad it’s you I’m pressed up against and not the councilman,”
“I’d bash the bloke’s nose in if he went anywhere near you,” he growled.
“Nice to see therapy is helping your violent tendencies,”
Draco smirked, trying to ignore the feeling of claws on his back. Don’t move or they kill you. Don’t speak(he wasn’t doing so well with that one), don’t do magic. He resisted the urge to thank his dead father for his useful advice on killing demon hordes.
“Linda’s great. It’s just the fat bastard isn’t,”
“Mhm,”
Suddenly there was an ear-shattering scream and hundreds upon hundreds of wings flapped around them, the feeling of cold weight on his skin growing worse. He closed his eyes, pressing his nose into her hair.
They were clawing at his body. It was almost like she was too powerful for them to ignore.
“We’re going to die aren’t we?” she whispered, her voice cracking. He squeezed her tighter, covering her eyes so she wouldn’t see his blood. Or the silent screams of pain now etched on his face.
“I suppose I’ll confess my secrets,” Hermione continued, her voice wavering. “I once stuffed Ron’s teddy bear down the toilet because he was being a prat,” This earned her a weak laugh. “And I happen to like you a bit more then I should,”
And in that moment, he froze completely.
“Too much, hm-?”
Draco Malfoy guided her lips against his, ignoring the pain, the noise, the sheer terribleness of the environment around them. He’d wanted her for so, so long that the ache where she was supposed to be had grown into a dull throb. Now it was back but this time it felt like paradise.
She groaned, causing him to growl in response. He pressed himself into her, drinking starlight and parchment.
And then he shielded her between his arms, calmly, sated as the demons ripped away at his clothes, his body. He remained unwavering.
Because it was his fault.
Because she was truly his everything.
Because Hermione Jean Granger was worth more then his life.
He remembered her cries, her pleas for him to wake up. The weight began to leave his body as his blood spread around her, smothering her scent.
All was quiet. Draco Malfoy died smiling with his hair stained crimson.

Ayo anyone wanna see my essay on why removing Anybody Have A Map made the Dear Evan Hansen movie worse? It is slightly long
Disclaimer: I did like the movie (I cried three times), but I think they made some stupid decisions with it.
Dear Evan Hansen movie + musical spoilers under the cut, plus a fair amount of DEH neg/crit
Instead of Anybody Have A Map, they just have Evan's mom say "Hey are you writing those letters to yourself? Also you should ask the kids to sign your cast" before he goes to school and sings Waving Through A Window. They ignore every other part of the song and quickly insert the only thing from the song that's absolutely needed to understand the story so Evan can go be angsty at school. We don't even meet the Murphys until they meet Evan in the principal's office to tell him about Connor.
Disclaimer part 2 electric boogaloo: I complain about Evan a lot here. It's not because I think his experiences aren't valid and it's not because I'm trying to demonize people with mental illnesses or something. I know that his own struggles influenced his bad decisions. That doesn't mean they weren't bad decisions. He still did shitty things and he wasn't justified (listen to Words Fail), but I know it was influenced by his mental health.
On with the complaining!
First of all, the movie opens with Waving Through A Window? It feels like they're putting the most popular song first as a desperate grab for your attention to convince you the movie is good and like... they really didn't need to do that. Waving Through A Window is right after Anybody Have A Map, it's not like anyone's gonna walk out of the theatre after one (really good) song.
Anybody Have A Map establishes a few things: it shows us that both of these families are struggling so that we know immediately that the Murphys' perfect facade is fake, it shows us that Connor was a dick to his family (this is very important), and obviously it tells us why Evan was writing letters to himself. It also introduces us to the two main families at the same time so we know this story isn't just about Evan.
By starting the movie with an Evan solo song instead of the group song, they frame Evan as the one main character, the only person whose perspective we need to understand. But Evan is incredibly flawed, just like everyone else, and by making us think the story is only about him, it immediately makes us (the audience) more inclined to believe that Evan is always in the right and less inclined to consider everyone else's side of the story. Evan is an incredibly unreliable narrator, he's always going to frame his actions as correct, or at least excusable, even when he's actively hurting/lying to other people.
All of the Murphys get introduced through interacting with Evan instead of interacting with each other. This makes it seem like the Murphys only exist for Evan, but the entire point of the climax is that everything doesn't exist just for Evan! Evan is not part of their family, he can't just use everyone around him for his own benefit, and all of the Murphys have lives outside of him. When they're introduced through Evan, they're introduced as existing for Evan. Anybody Have A Map introduces them separately from Evan instead of attached to him.
Without Anybody Have A Map, we never actually see Connor being mean to Zoe, so she just looks like an asshole for not being sad about her dead brother. To make up for it, she's constantly having to tell the audience why she hated him, tripping over herself to talk about all the shitty things he did to her because we don't have Anybody Have A Map to show us their interactions. Zoe ends up complaining about her brother the entire time, so when it gets to Only Us and she says that she doesn't want everything to be about her brother, it seems out of character for her.
And with the removal of Anybody Have A Map, we don't ever see Connor interact with his own family in the movie. Anybody Have A Map is the only time we get to see Connor with his family. It shows us that Connor really was an asshole to his family, it justifies Zoe hating him, and it gives his mom more dimensions by showing her struggling to keep her family together even with everyone fighting against her. Without that, the writers ended up ignoring the most basic piece of writing advice - "show, don't tell" - to fill in the missing information from the song.
In the movie, all we get of Cynthia Murphy is... her being sad about Connor and refusing to admit that he ever did anything wrong. She's just boring and annoying in the movie, but in the musical, we get that bit at the beginning that shows her as an actual person with actual motivations! By cutting Anybody Have A Map, they made her into a more one-dimensional character.
So in a bit of a conclusion: Anybody Have A Map establishes the Murphys as main characters separate from Evan and shows us Connor's relationship with his family instead of telling us about it. It sets the scene for the story before just jumping into "Evan is sad and alone uwu anxious depressed soft boy" and makes everyone a better, more three-dimensional character. Getting rid of it meant that they had to do backflips to justify everyone's decisions during the movie instead of setting everything up at the beginning.
I do think the movie could've benefitted from Disappear but then again, it could've benefitted from the whole "Connor being the visual/vocal representation of Evan's justifications for why keeping up the lie is helping people" thing in general, but they got rid of that so Disappear wouldn't have worked. (I am salty that they got rid of that thing but whatever) The Anonymous Ones worked instead and it was a good song, so sure, why not I guess? /neutral
I could also complain about how they got rid of To Break In A Glove, Disappear, and Good For You, but none of those decisions actually impacted the story too much. To Break In A Glove and Good For You both got replaced with some tell-not-show cutscenes that gave us the same information in a less interesting way (and Larry got less character development without To Break In A Glove), and Disappear got replaced with an Alana song which was honestly pretty good so i'm fine with that one.
Now for some good changes that the movie made!
The Anonymous Ones was a good song, I actually really liked that. I'm disappointed that they got rid of Disappear, but they replaced it with another song that served the same purpose while also giving Alana more screen time and character depth! And it was a genuinely good song, I really enjoyed it and it made me like Alana more!
I really liked the ending of the movie. In the musical, there are literally no negative consequences for Evan, Zoe even forgives him at the end. She fucking forgives him for lying to her entire family about their dead son and and taking advantage of them because it "brought them closer together". And the internet never finds out what he did! He does all this terrible shit, lies to the entire fucking world, and gets away scot-free. And he never learns anything real about Connor. The movie changes all of that.
Connor's song was also a great addition! Every time we saw Connor in the musical, he was either being a dick or he was a fantasy version of himself made by Evan and/or Jared. Seeing that Connor can, in fact, be a nice person, that Cynthia's belief in him wasn't misplaced, was so satisfying. He really was just a meaner version of Evan a troubled kid lashing out at the world in self-defense. He wasn't an entirely bad person.
The Murphys still decide not to tell anyone what he did, but then Evan decides (on his own!) that he needs to own up to what he did. He records a video of himself admitting to what he did, shifts all the blame to himself, and then goes out of his way to fix his mistakes in any way he can. He says that his biggest regret is not getting to know Connor while he had the chance, so he goes online to find anything he can. He reads Connor's favorite books, tries to find anyone who might be able to tell him what Connor was like, and when he receives a video of Connor playing his song in rehab, he takes the time to send the video (through the mail, on a flash drive) to the Murphys, Jared, and Alana.
Evan doesn't contact Zoe at the end, she contacts him instead. She doesn't forgive him, and he doesn't ask for forgiveness. He knows what he did was wrong and he owns up to it and tries to fix it as much as possible, knowing full well that it could ruin his life. He does the right thing for the first time in the entire fucking movie (that's hardly even an exaggeration) and it's such a good ending. It makes more sense and is more satisfying than the musical.
The Dear Evan Hansen movie was not nearly as bad as the reviews say it was. It wasn't as good as the musical, it had its own problems, but it also made some good changes that I think made the story better. It wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed it and most movies aren't perfect anyway. It really could've benefitted from Anybody Have A Map, though.
