#i personally mean platonically but no judgements for anyone else

re-reading network effect and jeez Amena and Ratthi are the biggest Murderbot/ART (platonic or otherwise) shippers of all of us. The bathroom scene for one, and all the times Amena played inbetween the two (omg the scene when MB is like 'I want to talk to ART alone' and Amena is like '...about your relationship???' and when she was explaining to ART how MB reacted to it's 'death' like come on) and towards the end when Ratthi is desperately trying to get MB to understand that ART threatened to kill a bunch of people for it and Thiago is like 'we don't really got to talk about this :/' and Ratthi just gets louder.
They are so personally invested in Murderbot and ART's ~~~'mutual administration assistance'~~.

Now that you mentioned it, I need more Genesis & Cloud friendship pretty please?
some general cloud and genesis bestie headcanons:
- genesis is absolutely cloud’s number 1 supporter in absolutely everything! no matter what, he will always have cloud’s back!
- they both trust each other in ways they don’t trust anyone else
- i feel like they sort of clicked immediately, like they’re very much platonic soulmates to me, and from the moment they met they had a bond like no other
- genesis very much tries to push cloud out of his comfort zone and tries to bring cloud out of his shell, helping cloud push his boundaries and become at the very least a little bit less anxious
- genesis convinces and helps cloud do all the things that cloud is otherwise too insecure or nervous to do! he’ll put cloud in outfits that cloud wants to wear but is too insecure to, he’ll help cloud talk to the other firsts when cloud’s too scared, things like that! he tries to do everything he can to help cloud be more confident in himself!
- they help each other greatly with relationship issues, its mostly genesis helping cloud with advice and such, but there’s also occasions in which genesis just needs a little comfort or a little confidence boost and cloud will do his absolute best to help genesis through it
- they’re very clingy and cuddly with each other!!! they’re very affectionate with each other, and they’re completely comfortable doing nearly anything and everything together!
- genesis is always the first person cloud ever goes to in case he has any kind of problem at all, but especially if he has embarrassing issues because he trusts genesis will help him without any judgement
- genesis will tease cloud a lot, but genesis knows to always make sure cloud is aware that he doesn’t mean it and that its just how genesis shows his affection at times
- they are absolutely the type to gossip to each other about everything
#they would have been such sweet best friends!!!#they have such a specific dynamic to me that i don’t know how to describe it other than outgoing girls girl befriending the shy reserved one#i have no idea what the guy equivalent of that would be or if it even makes sense to anyone but me…#this seems more all over the place than i meant for it to be im sorry#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy 7#crisis core#genesis rhapsodos#cloud strife

Two weeks after season 2, but I'm still there. Here are some chaotic thoughts I felt like sharing 🌞
Part 1 :)) Contains spoilers for season 2
Free will / Responsability
I was just thinking how, before everything changed in seasons 1 and 2 of Loki, the events on the Sacred Timeline were, so to say, scripted. In He Who Remain's words (though i have to admit it feels weird mentioning him, the man is so LITTLE compared to our Loki); the road was paved.
That's the thing about branches, about the infinity of the vast multiverse. The path isn't paved anymore, no more yellow brick road, every decisions sets you on a new one. Anything can happen. So, if anything can happen, nothing matters? No. If anything can happen, the choices that are made, the paths that are taken, have their own entity. Everyone has a story that they can make different every day. That's what Loki is there for. Rewriting the story. The hard thing to do, the thing that had to be done. And I find that really interesting. If you only believe in Destiny's hand, what are yours there for? Gods don't give humans destiny, because it would be just too easy. Too easy to blame it on fate, rather than take responsability for your actions. And the other way around too, if it all falls on your shoulders, isn't it too much to bear?
That links to burden, the burden of responsability. All "variants" will have the free will, while the God of Stories bears it. for a while. I mean, he won't be there for forever, alone, right? Come on now.
Bittersweet, exceptionally good, but definitely heartbreaking
Yes, I still sob sometimes because a once analyst or jet ski seller from Ohio can't move on from losing / being separated from his favorite person. And that favorite person hearing him from a very long distance.
Thank you, my friend / Thank you, Mobius.
I genuienly think Loki learned a lot about himself and the essence of life so different from what he knew because of his time at the TVA, not only because of Mobius. As Tom said in an interview ( for SagAftra Foundation) he found himself in this kafkaesque organization, where people, now variants, are just numbers and a verdict: guitly. That gradually changes, but as we see Loki evolve, it's Mobius who stays by his side. They meet at the TVA, and influence each other for the better while changing the institution as well!! "Thanks for the spark"
It's Mobius who looks at Loki without judgement. With a little bit of admiration, even.
It's Mobius who tells Loki he doesn't have to be alone. And that he can be someone good.
He offers this outcast, a "mischevious liar", a hand, both literally and figuratively.
And this is returned, because now Loki is trusting Mobius, something we barely see the God of Mischief do before, right? (examples: Mobius is the one Loki turns to in episode 1, they very much work together in episode 2 when finding Brad and getting that information out of him, and at the end of the ep Loki stayed. The hug, our only on screen *actual* hug between these two, at the end of season 1. It's great).
It's Mobius who Loki turns to, at the roots of this relationship, when not knowing what to do anymore, or needing that last piece of the puzzle, or number of the equation (and knowing the person that will give it). That "thank you, Mobius" as Loki shakes his hand is like a reflection to all this time spent together, not only that moment in time. It's a thank you of ages, of learning how to love and BE loved; learning, across this path, that every life and every branch is worth of love, ultimately turning Loki's understanding and caring of this in the biggest motivation.
And the thing is it doesn't even have to be romantic!! (I mean it kind of is to us fans, but not everyone sees it that way*ahem*D!sney). But even platonically, this is still a very strong connection, undeniable so. Everyone agrees: Kevin Wright "He cares about Mobius, more than he ever cared about anyone else", Eric Martin : "They have great chemestry", Tom: "They're *passionately* disagreeing" or any time he talks about these 2.
Secondly after Loki's fulfilling journey and more than poetic end, these 2 are certainly the best we got this season.
Thanks for reading <3

Rank your favorite Only Friends from your favorite to...well shitty one. And explain cause you just explain it so much better. (I know Atom is on that deep sea below after what we have witnessed.)
Oh, man, this is so hard. Mostly the top. The top is hard. The bottom is easy.
Okay. Let me try.
Boeing. Look, he is nothing but drama and trouble and I love him. He walked in looking so sweet and like he was going to be the best queer platonic friend and then he lit everything on fire and is going to fan those flames with his lips. Love him, love his wrongs.
Boston. My problematic child. I love him so much. He wants to have casual sex and he's afraid of making connections because he knows he's leaving and he has his very own moral code that doesn't always reflect the rest of the world but does reflect him and he is constantly being judged by the people around him for daring to be a promiscuous gay man and while he has done his fair share of gay wrongs he's done far less than he is accused of.
Sand. My beloved boy who deserves so much. He gave back the money that he was given to help Ray because he loved Ray too much to accept money knowing how much it would hurt Ray and he didn't have a chance to defend himself but he still loves that mess of a man so much but he loves his friends as well (friends being Nick) and he's mostly just doing his best not to drown.
Ray. The problematic babygirl. I love a broken little rich boy. I always do, I always will. The one person in the room who feels the least loved and acts out because there's no other way to get attention or love or affection and who latch onto whoever shows them kindness but doesn't know how to show kindness or love in return because he's never felt worthy of it and so throws money at everything hoping it'll keep people there but hates it all the more for keeping people there because it proves how useless he is.
Dan. The darling green flag. I'm sorry I joined in other people in doubting you, I wasn't sure how to disagree at the time and you turned out to just be a sweetheart. I appreciate that. I feel bad that you won't get the boy and that Jojo is unlikely to give me NickDanBoston because that is my new ideal... but still. You get to be here!
Nick. The red flag sexual. This boy. I really do love him but I also fear for him. He is a disaster. He is a danger to himself and others and the only person he should date is Botson. No denials. No hesitation. Just... date Boston, child, he is exactly who you want to date.
April. Also in the show. She's got no screen time so I've got no reason to hate her but also no reason to love her. But she's sweet and seems like a good communicator?
Top. The one who's trying too hard. I am kind of indifferent to Top. He is... fine. Like, I am not emotionally invested in him at all, frankly. But he's fine. I kind of hope he realizes that he should move on from Mew and maybe, like, find someone else or just exist as single for a bit? Because the way Mew treats him is not exactly ready for a second chance.
Mew. The sanctimonious one. I spent the start of this show hoping that Mew would be manipulative only for him to just turn out to be judgemental instead. That's much less interesting. And much less enjoyable to watch. He thinks he's so much better than all his friends and Top and even Boeing. He thinks he's always right and that his moral code is the Only Good One and his worry for his friends is rarely expressed kindly or with empathy. I don't like him that much but I'm mostly just bored by him. Also, he should have known Boston wouldn't blackmail anyone considering how someone was actively blackmailing him and that Mew knows that Boston's sex life being revealed is something he doesn't want.
Cheum. The really sanctimonious one. The mean girl who thinks she's a mom friend. I just... don't like her. I really don't. I think she thinks she's better than everyone around her except Mew and that she holds a lot of judgements against her friends for not living up to her idea of who they should be and that she is not kind or empathetic and that she should, frankly, take a step back and consider kindness and active listening for even a second.
Atom. The fucker. This boy can go to hell. He wants to hurt Boston for doing exactly what he said he was going to do, lied about him and not only lied but made very specific accusations against him as part of the lying because he was hurt. Atom is out to destroy Boston and has basically destroyed his chance at passing this class and could easily set him up for blackmail at this point (exactly what he accused him of.)
There are so many characters.

Blah blah blah about love under the cut
One thing about daphne and the duke - she says these things, and immediately things magically work out because its TV fantasy land. But...at least in my limited experience...it takes a long time for the nice things to sink in past the bad things. Like it would take the patience of somebody repeating those words across a longer span of time.
There was one thing that startled me with my latest romantic failure - and it had absolutely nothing to do with pilot boy himself.
see, i have never really understood the whole 'bringing someone home to meet the parents' and how big of a deal it was in movies and books. It always baffled me. I never cared what my parents thought of people i dated or wanted to date and the only person i ever brought home was The Ex in 2010 and even then it was less 'do you approve?' and more 'i love him and idgaf about your opinon but i want to show him off'. My poor Ex endured an entire two hour long interrogation by my grandparents and i had to hold his hand the entire time, he was very shy.
BUT now, here in LA, i met my friend over at the artist's house, and that was in 2018 so a number of years ago. And slowly, over the years, i've grown closer and closer with them and their family, and they've kinda been a guide in this city. And there was that one time in 2019 where someone automatically assumed i was their daughter and neither of us corrected the person lol. And i have kind of basically been adopted by their family, even despite my best attempts to keep a respectful distance during like holidays and stuff. But i still go to them first whenever i have problems, and some days i have no idea how i ever lived without them. And everytime i think i have fucked up and made a mistake we remain friends - or apologize to each other if necessary, and things always always return to that warm, platonic, familial love.
and you know, for the fist time, ever, in my entire life....when i was dating Pilot Boy, i realized that Bringing The Significant Other Home To Meet Family was a big deal for me. And it was going to mean bringing him to the artist's house. Of course, Pilot Boy and i never got into a serious enough relationship to reach that point, but i definitely had a bit of an existential crisis over realizing that i actually wanted to hear the judgement of someone who was like a parent to me. I don't even know how to explain how much of a change of mindset it was, how odd it felt. And it's not like I have never dated anyone else in LA - there was Hiker Boy for like 3ish years of casual dating and not once did i even think about it. And that one guy E, who i didn't even mention to my friend. Like, this was definitely an accumulation of slowly starting to trust that the concept of having a 'parent' figure in my life was a good thing, rather than something scary.
I remember my mother would go through phases. If she was single suddenly she would go on rants about how being single was the normal thing and anyone who believed they could stay coupled forever was abnormal and weird. I never minded this phase because i was always single so always met that approval. But the other phase, when she was in a relationship, meant that she would talk about how anybody who wasn't in a relationship was weird and probably repulsive, and how being in a couple is the natural order of things (unless its a gay couple in which case absolutely they can marry but dont have children because it will fuck the kids up mentally). And of course during these times she would berate me for never dating.
And then one time when i was 24 two things happened: that summer she visited me in pittsburgh and escalated from emotional/verbal abuse and slapping to full physical abuse. And then months later when i visited my grandparents in seattle she invited me to a 'wine tasting and cooking lesson' with some VIPs at her work. And i went, and it was in this industrial area of seattle with this ridiculously fancy farm to table rich people type kitchen set up. And the chef was this ridiculously tall dark and handsome young man about my age from argentina. I was flustered, and the guy totally knew it, and found it funny. I could barely string two words together and he was teasing me the whole night, kept picking me for the demonstrations, etc, you know how it goes. It was very entertaining and i appreciated he at least wasnt being mean about my obvious attraction to him.
Anyway by the end of the night my mom was visibly tipsy. This scared the shit out of me. My mom is mean when she doesn't drink, but when she has just the right amount of alochol she's totally normal and fully functional and you don't notice. So the fact that i could see her slurring her speech and being unable to walk straight meant she had more than her normal amount which meant a LOT. And as we said goodnight to the fancy VIPs she was embarrassing herself in front of, and walking to her car, she turned to me and said 'you know the chef was flirting with you all night'. And i was fully prepared to correct her because at that point i'd had at least one boyfriend and thought i knew what flirting was and teasing isnt the same at all. But i didnt get a chance because she also said something like: 'he was only flirting with you because you were the only person his age in the entire room. That's the type of guy who only goes for pretty girls, not you.' and then she wouldn't let me take her keys to drive us home. And i was too scared of her to force her to give them to me. And that was the last time i've seen my mom. Because her driving home so drunk she was obviously mentally and physically impaired was the last straw for me - one of my friends mothers was killed by a drunk driver when we were kids. And if i was too scared of my mom to do my part to stop that from ever happening again, then it was time for me to admit i couldnt handle this. Its been 11 years and i dont regret it, although sometimes i still have nightmares of her finding me and gaining control over me again like when i was a kid. But i also never forgot that comment - that explained so much. How she would rant about how weird it was that i was single, but she never really truly believed i was the kind of girl anybody would want as a 'girlfriend' anyway.
Contrast this with my friend at the artist house. Who at one low point this week, i called up to cry on their shoulder over work drama and how helpless i felt. And somehow they mixed up the current situation with Pilot Boy. And they started talking about the kind of ideal person they imagined me dating, and said a lot of stuff about someone who 'saw me for how wonderful i was' - i dont know honestly i couldnt listen to most of it, my brain just tuned it out. And i laughed and corrected them that no the person i was dating a month ago was 'Pilot Boy' and this guy currently was someone who - under no circumstances even if it meant being single forever - i wouldn't want to date. And then i stopped and thought for a little bit and realized that if i can change my mind about not wanting to ever have a parent in my life, and have those 'normal' things like the 'bring a date home to meet the parents' type experiences... That maybe one day the conviction in me that believes nobody would ever choose to date me or value me or consider me worthwhile....that maybe that could change too. And then maybe my friend's speech about someone valuing me wasnt so totally unbelievable and impossible. It still seems extremely farfetched to me, and I'm totally happy with just being able to know that my friend at least genuinely believes someone should be able to romantically love me one day. Like that's way more than i've ever had before. I should be grateful for that.
Anyway, yeah, if penelope's arc is something like that....then i might be interested. Because all we've seen from penelope's mother is her dismissing her daughter over and over again as being nothing worthwhile.

Greetings for you
I came here from your platonic posts and wanted to say thank you for writing stuff like that, I get pretty tired of searching the tags and finding nothing but porn. I don't know if you are receiving questions but I really wanted to see your take on platonic relationship with Levi, as a brother or a best friend you choose
Say nothing more, platonic Levi is my passion. Hope you enjoy it! Also, sorry for the delay, I almost had my liver stolen by a duende.
Platonic! Levi x reader
Cw: canonverse, Levi is traumatized, Levi is a little bit parentified, reader is portrayed as being younger (a cadet), attempted funny moments, Levi is a bit of an old man at heart
He is a tough cookie. He is difficult to connect with, his personality is not the most pleasant and he is demanding. Which means you won't have special treatment in the beginning and much like everyone else, you feel a little intimidated by Levi. But, you also noticed that he is not disrespectful, nor does he abuse his power over the cadets. Despite his mean first impression, Levi seems to be a man of honor and values and that sparks your curiosity to know him better.
Connecting with Levi is possible. Hange did it, everyone can do it. But he has a soft spot for people who enjoy tea time -and also knows how to brew it correctly - he likes silent companionship and quality time. He is not against people around him, but he likes a calm and quiet ambiance. He likes strategy games but not many people play with him and that's how you strike his interest.
"I've been playing for a few years now" he would say whenever you lost the first few rounds "have patience, I can teach you some tactics"
Whenever the night is difficult for both of you, tea and a tactic game is your bonding time. He did teach you some important observation skills that only an experienced captain would acquire. He is a good teacher, patient and precise with his words, but he also learns with you. Levi never seemed to underestimate anyone despite his mean face and scary aura, he always treated you and the other cadets as fully capable of things.
Levi is very observant, but a bit confused with the younger cadets actions and even expressions. Whenever the teenagers he is unfortunately taking care of come up with a new stupid game or an out of pocket gossip, Levi looks at you with the "what the fuck is happening" eyes. You explain to him, but he remains confused, shaking his head as if he was dealing with idiots.
You make him tea before your sleep curfew. Levi is a difficult person to change routines, but you try to introduce him a new kind of tea once in a while. In the beginning he would look at the mug with utter distrust, taking an almost inexistent sip and taking a bit too long to give you a final judgement.
"not bad" he would say "but I still prefer black tea"
And then he would come out of nowhere one night and ask:
"do you still have that lemongrass tea from a few weeks ago?"
Levi is a very disturbed man, but he learned not to show. Even his night terrors are contained. Unfortunately that strains him in many ways. He is constantly under a chronic pain from muscular tension. Because of that, he is quick to notice when your own feelings start to spill on your physical health.
"the doctor is in our base this week, go" he would randomly say to you one morning.
"but-"
"it's an order from your captain, go"
When your personality is down, he also notices. Despite him never being able to open up, he is a good listener and he is also good with advice. It's not pretty, he does say things you don't wanna hear, things you need to accept before it consumes you, but he waits for a better moment to tell you. When you're emotionally devastated he just listens, offering you a tea or any other beverage of preference, scheduling specific work activities he knows you enjoy doing. Levi is discreet with his help, making it seem like you just trauma dumped on him.
"I'm sorry, captain. Didn't mean to just rant about my life"
He would dismiss your worries with a hand gesture.
"it's not good to keep it in, it lowers your performance on the field"
He lies. You know he keeps everything in, but you appreciate him wanting to help you.
He hates messy places, and you often try to clean things before he arrives. Unfortunately Levi is extremely particular with cleaning and you accepted that he will end up finding something wrong. Levi does take time to teach you though, even if he ends up doing it himself later on (when you're not watching). It's a psychological thing.
"tsk, I'll have to teach you how to mix up bleach"
"cotton rags is for wood, newspaper for glass"
"Come here, I wanna see you doing it"
"Yes, circular motions, softly. You're cleaning, not sanding the dust off.
"NO, don't touch the bleach without gloves!!"
Whenever your squad goes to town and Levi is there, he looks like a dad monitoring a toddler. Cadets are rarely granted free time to wander around and you kinda go overboard on visiting shops and squares.
"you have one hour to return to our meeting place or else I'll hunt you down and make you clean the basement with Jaeger"
He ends up either staying nearby or straight up following you if something is off. He is paranoid ok? Give him a break.
He is such an irritating injured man. He hates being reminded of meds time, wound cleaning. He does it all, but complaining the entire time.
"captain, the more you let the nurse change the dressing the faster you heal" you try to convince, but he still frowns.
The good side is that he has more time to play games and rest. But at the same time you become his messenger bird.
"deliver this to Hange, but only to Hange!"
"fiiiineeee"
He does it on purpose, you think. Just to make you leave and stop watching over him all the time.
If you're injured, he is equally as insufferable. Asking the nurse to check on you hourly. Making you drink atrocious potions he bought from the market. He might think Hange is insane, but he looks just like them while threatening you to drink from the spoon.
"it's just medicine! you either drink it or I'll force it down your throat"
Such a sweetheart isn't he?

For a fic ask: You write your Andorian 4 person relationships as two couples living together in one family unit. How do the relationships between the two couples work? Are they platonic, romantic (in an "arranged marriage tends to work out more often than you'd think" kind of way), telepathically bonded? How does divorce work?
I felt like it was fitting for the arrangements between bonded couples to vary from quad to quad.
In my headcanon the quad arrangement arose in response to a lethal environment in which many juveniles were killed before reaching adulthood, alongside many adults. Resources were scarce for a long time, so pooling what was available into a communal supply was a vital survival strategy. Likewise, having children and child-rearing responsibilities shared between four people had a much higher chance of success than just two.
By necessity all four members of a bonded quad will share a low-grade telepathic bond, but the primary couple will be most strongly bonded to each other, as will the secondary couple. In this respect they are two separate couples that live in close proximity, but whether or not all four members are intimate with one another is usually determined by the individuals themselves. It's certainly common for a quad to be very close in that respect, especially given the lax Andorian attitude towards physical relations, but it is by no means required.
Andorian telepathic bonds are interesting in that they aren't nearly as vivid or powerful as Vulcan bonds, but they are absolutely unbreakable once ratified - except by the death of one of the bonded- and they require conscious intention to affirm. A bonded Andorian cannot share thoughts or communicate clearly with their mate, but they can share broad emotions and have a constant awareness, no matter how faint, of their other half (or other quarters, if in a quad.) In the rare and extreme case of one of the bonded members of a couple or quad bringing total disgrace to their family, ushaan might be declared against the offending individual. This almost always results in the death of the offending individual and the severance of any bonds linking him or her to anyone else.
Thus, divorce without death isn't possible in the same way that it is for Humans or Vulcans. The closest that is possible after a bond has been made permanent is estrangement, which is regarded as very shameful as it implies that both parties were far too immature and hasty in making such an important decision. Someone who is estranged from one or more of their spouses is not likely to climb the ranks as fast as someone who isn't, because their judgement is always going to be called into question.
This is also the reason why one of the most heinous crimes on Andoria is the forcible bonding of an unwilling party, the penalty for which is always execution.
If we take Dagmar and Shral, they have something called a spontaneous fledgling bond, which is the result of pure chemistry on an emotional and mental level. It most often occurs in young Andorians when they achieve a level of synergy with another Andorian, often after a great deal of play, but adults can be struck by it as well should they have prolonged contact with an individual they are very compatible with. Shral most likely initiated the fledgling bond instinctively and unconsciously, as Humans are not sufficiently high on the PSI scale to manage such a thing on their own... possibly after an event in which Dagmar struck him, which would register to his instincts as a female initiating courtship. *wink wink nudge nudge remember that one chapter way back?*
Now, the words "fledgling" and "spontaneous" are important here. Spontaneous bonds are the only kind of Andorian bond that can be broken, as they're not made with conscious intention. The danger is that if they are left for too long they will cement themselves, so Andorians are taught from a young age to look for certain signs to prevent irreversibly bonding to someone at a young age. A spontaneous bond can be broken, or "abandoned", usually by separating the individuals affected before the issue becomes critical. Shral didn't really think it was possible for Humans to bond, so he wasn't as vigilant as he should have been about it - hence his alarm when he found Dagmar in the garden meditating.
I think that answers everything! I'm happy to expound or clarify on any points I might have been a but vague on!

Bon Appetit
Summary: After every team mission, it became a tradition to get takeout for everyone.
Written for: @buckybarnesbingo
Words: 972
Square Filled: B5- Takeout/ Pizza
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Platonic!Gender Neutral Reader
Warnings: None
Nobody knows exactly how it started but all that mattered was that it became a tradition. After a long, tough mission, someone would go out and get some kind of takeout for everybody. Clint found a place in Harlem that made the best barbeque, Peter found a place in Queens that made excellent sandwiches, Tony’s go-to place was the shawarma place they went to after the Battle of New York, pretty much everyone on the team had somewhere special they liked to get food from. Sometimes, it wasn’t the greatest, like that time Bruce tried to get healthy food from a vegan place or that one time Sam ordered from a place where the burgers tasted like a sponge between two pieces of cardboard. It was usually up to the person who was the least banged up who had to go and make the order.
…
With another mission completed, The Avengers retreated back to the tower. Clint put ice packs or bags of frozen vegetables on his aching muscles, Bruce was doing some meditation, Tony slumped on the table, Nat treated her injuries… pretty much everyone needed a little quiet time after that one. Bucky was surprised how well off he actually made it out. Being in not too bad of shape, he took out a pen and a notebook.
“I’m getting pizza. What does everybody want?”
Everyone babbled their orders to him and after deciphering all the information, stood up.
“I’ll go with you,” you grunted, getting to your feet.
“You sure? You can stay here if you’re too injured.
“Nah, I’m good. Mostly just stiff. Ready to go?”
Bucky nodded and the pair of you made your way out.
…
A while later, Bucky took you to a little pizzeria that had been in Brooklyn since the 40’s.
“I’m surprised it’s still here…” Bucky muttered wistfully.
You gave him an incredulous look.
“Don’t tell me you drove all the way out here on the off chance that this place may or may not still be here…”
“No, no. I’ve been here a few times before now. Steve and I have been tracking down some of our old haunts back in the day. A lot of them are gone now but some have survived but with modern upgrades,” Bucky explained.
The inside looked like an old-fashioned pizza place, completed with a few arcade games in the corner. The man at the counter called Bucky over and asked his order in his thick, Brooklyn accent. Bucky relayed each Avenger’s order. The guy decided it would just be easier to take the whole note and went back into the kitchen.
“This place is so different from when Steve and I used to visit here. It’s all… new…”
You couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
“What?” he huffed, the blood rising to his cheeks.
“Nothing. It’s just… You look at this place and see it as new. Anyone else would look at it and think it’s old fashioned…”
He started to become flustered and defensive but you placed a hand on his arm.
“There’s nothing wrong with that, Bucky. I mean, look at all the different age groups we have in our little team. There’s you and Steve from the 40’s, most of the team are roughly in the same age range and then you get Peter who’s on the modern end of the scale. We each have our own slang, our own tastes in music, our own styles but that’s what makes us great…”
Bucky smiled softly at your words.
“Thanks, Y/N.”
“You’re welcome. Now, do you want me to teach you how to play the arcade games?” you asked.
Bucky smiled back and allowed you to teach him how to play. He was a little nervous about breaking the machines with his metal hand so you would work half the controllers. You played until your order was called up. The guy gave you some judgemental looks about some of the orders but you just shrugged, paid for the pizzas and left.
…
The moment you arrived home, the others ascended upon you like seagulls at the beach. Everyone grabbed their pizza and began eating.
“Can someone feed me? I’m too sore to move,” Scott groaned.
“Just do what I’m doing,” Clint shrugged.
He was laying back on the couch with a slice of pizza on his chest that he was slowly dragging into his mouth with each bite, grease seeping into his shirt.
“Clint, that’s disgusting. At least get a napkin,” Nat chided.
“Don’t wanna,” he whined.
“Legolas may be onto something,” Tony muttered, using a similar method to Clint but with his head and body slumped on the table.
Nat scoffed in disgust and rolled her eyes.
“I still think you guys should have given my place another chance,” Bruce mused.
“Bruce, no offense but if we’re coming off a rough mission, we want something greasy, fatty and on occasion, smothered in chocolate. Not health food,” Sam sighed, tucking into his second slice.
Bruce shrugged and finished his fill, deciding to tidy up a little.
“Next time, I know a great little Asian cuisine place,” you offered.
People muttered their agreement and continued eating.
“This is actually pretty good, Barnes,” Clint praised.
“Thanks,” Bucky smiled a little.
The team soon fell silent as everybody ate or finished eating. This was exactly what they all needed. Some time to wind down with good food and good company. Bucky would definitely have to order from there again. He felt great knowing that one of his choices brought everyone together so well and they all loved it.

Can I request a fake-dating thing with Gigi? Maybe she needs a date for some big event and asks Reader to be her fake date, but ends up really liking their company? Thanks!!
OH FUCK IM GONNA EXPLODE. LIKE ACTUALLY START RICOCHETING OFF THE WALLS. THIS IS THE BEST TROPE TYSM
sfw!! just cuteness. It got long im sorry MSNDMSND
Ok usually she has a System (tm) for events, because when your schedule is as tight as hers, you need to have all your ducks in a row.
Usually she has a Shortlist of people she can ask in case she needs a Plus One!!
Andre, Brett, Glenn, Myc (if she can convince him not to be too much fo a brat smdns) It's all platonic, usually one of those four can be bribed into an event with the promise of Alcohol and Free Food (and Brett does it Just To Be Helpful,, because,, it's Brett MSNDMS)
and yet, somehow, all four of these ungrateful little bastards can't pull through on this night.
And she can't go alone, for several reasons. In the circles she frequents (read : rich and judgemental) its essential to bring a Plus One, because everyone else is gonna have one, and if she doesn't she's gonna stick out.
Keeping up appearances is essential in her line of work, and she really doesn't need ppl starting a gossip train right now.
(and aside from that, it dissuades creeps so that's a plus)
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN BABEY!!!
you are her last hope lmao.
SHE SPOTS YOU FROM HER OFFICE AS SHE'S PACING AND IS LIKE 'you're my date now :)’
AND I MEAN,,, DID YOU REALLY HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO? NO OFC NOT
She only vaguely knows you, but tbh she just needs someone to fill the slot. A beach-ball with a smiley face drawn on it ANYONE.
She even offers you 400$ to sweeten the pot!! Plus the usual promise of free food and rich people to laugh at.
Don't worry about getting an outfit, she works in media. She IS media lmao I have no doubt she's has plenty of experience in fashion, she can absolutely help you throw together an outfit and be out the door in like,, 10 minutes flat.
She isn't expecting much but?? It actually goes way smoother than planned??
It surprises her that you treat it like,, an actual date.
Like you ask questions? good questions?? Not just boring Rich People 'I-Don't-Actually-Care-I-Just-Need-To-Pretend-I'm-A-Person-And-Not-A-Walking-Bank-Account' questions??
You ask her about her ambitions? What was her favorite childhood memory? You two get into a 40 minute conversation about a bakery she misses from her hometown that closed down before she could get their cheesecake recipe??
and FUCK IF THAT ISN'T A BREATH OF FRESH AIR SMDNS
Like oh god you cannot imagine how mind numbing rich people are. Harder than the conspiracies and media scandals and weird social rules is trying to pretend to give a shit about Rich Boy #307's New Golf Course MSNDMS
She literally forgets to mingle.
You mention something about the Gardens and before she can even remember that yes, there was a goal behind her coming to this event, you two are giggling like teenagers running along the pavillion <33
YOU TWO BOLT THROUGH THE SPRINKLERS ITS SUPER FUN.
Occasionally it’ll strike her that she’s supposed to be inside, shmoozing, but she just convinces herself that oh well, she can just do that later.
It doesn't even strike her until her alarm goes off that she's spent the entire night just,, talking with you.
(the ringtone, ofc, being the sound of someone calling her, so that she has a convenient excuse to get out of whatever she's doing and go home)
She decides Fuck It. You two talk for another forty minutes, laying back on the freshly-trimmed grass before a butler eventually comes out to shoo you off the property MNSDMSN
She drives you home!! Well, her chauffeur drives you home, but she sits with you in the back!!
(She specifically asks her chauffeur to take a slightly longer route, so you two can finish your convo about the musical conventions in Sweeney Todd, because she hasn’t gotten to talk about that shit in YEARS SHES NOT PASSING UP THIS OPPORTUNITY)
She still offers you that 400$, because it's the least she could do for you helping her out w/ something so last minute, not to mention having you stay way later than expected, but you turn it down.
You said something about how ‘getting to get to know a woman as sweet as her was payment enough <3′ and just. left.
it leaves her so completely stunned that she doesn’t hear her driver when they ask if she’d like to be dropped off at home.
She literally just sits there staring at the spot where you were sitting, holding 400$, feeling absolutely dazed. She’s smiling like an idiot and she doesn’t even CARE THAT WAS SO CUTE OF YOU-
She calls you two weeks later for another event, and you say yes without hesitation <3
#gigi thompson#gigi thompson x reader#x reader#inside job x reader#sfw#WAS THIS TOO OOC LMK SMDNSMD#it was super cute to write. gigi gigi gigi i love you i love you I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU#THIS IS THE DREAM <333333333333#I like to think she didn't grow up in the .00001% of people she just. rose up through the ranks from her journalism + media work#so she just. kinda hates rich people.

hi you can post this or not ! whatever you’re comfortable with. tw for talk of sa and internalized aphobia
so i was taken advantage of when i was in middle school by another middle schooler (someone who was convinced he was my boyfriend) and suffice it to say, it was not a good experience. i havent really dated since and i definitely havent had romantic or sexual feelings since. i think i had a crush on a kid before when i was in fifth grade, but it was so long ago i don’t remember.
sometimes i wonder if i’m really acearo or if i’m just so put off by relationships and so sex averse because of that. i do like smut but i panic whenever anyone references anything sexual in person in anything but a serious and calm tone. i’m nearly twenty and i still request my friends don’t make overly sexual jokes around me because of how averse i am to it all.
i’ve never understood romance, but i do enjoy romance books and fics. often reading fics i find that the romantic relationship is just a different type of relationship, and that there’s also deeply platonic roots in it. that makes me feel okay about maybe trying romance one day, but i really have no desire other than having a roommate to take care of a dog or cat with.
so yeah, sometimes i wonder if i’m really acearo or if i just need to work through trauma. the sa happened before i even hit puberty, so i really have no idea if i would have still been ace had it not happened, you know?
i don’t mean anything offensive by this, i’m just self conscious and wanted to talk about it with someone who might understand. if you’re not comfortable with this message, please don’t feel pressured to respond in any way. if you’d like to give me a response but not post all of this, i’ll sign it with an anon name to refer to me as :) if you want to post all of this and answer directly, that’s cool too. i’m very okay with having my story out there if you think it could help someone else out.
i know you’re mainly a supernatural blog, so before i go: sickly dean for life <3
-> confused ace anon
first of all hiii! thank you so much for feeling like you could talk to me about this, it means a lot and i will try my best to help. if you ever want to dm me, they're open (if they're not shoot me an ask and i'll turn them on), even if we're not mutuals or anything, i want you to know you can talk to me without any judgement <3
reply under the cut to save space
first of all i am so sorry that happened to you, you did not deserve that, and although it's a valid reason to, i'm sorry it's making you doubt your indentity too.
i want you to know, that even if your aroace identity was cased by your sa, it is still 100% valid. there is actually an entire ace microlabel for this, called Caedsexual, which is for aces who thought they may have been allosexual until the events of their trauma. it might be worth looking into that?
with that in mind, it is also entirely possible for your identity to change over time, and to fluctuate too. for example, i definitely think i was alloromantic for most of my life, but something changed along the way. i can't pinpoint it but i know it did. this is normal and doesn't make the way you currently identify any less real.
what you enjoy when it comes to fiction can be a good indicator of what you want yourself, but i personally disregard it. listen, i'm also sex-averse but i love reading smut. it's so fun. i don't even get off on it, it's just light reading to me. do i want any of that to happen to me?? absolutley fucking not. i don't even like being kissed that much. sometimes enjoying stories can be just what it is: a story. and sometimes it's fun to see characters do things you absolutley wouldn't. kind of the same reason people read horror you know?
so, to sum it all up: if you feel like you are aroace right now and you are comfortable identifying that way, then that's awesome, that's what you are. it can change, and that's perfectly okay too. remember it's a spectrum too, for example i find myself fluctuating between being greyaro and aro. this is all normal and fine.
what you read and enjoy in fiction doesn't always represent what you want. this is also fine!
it doesn't matter how old you are, if people talking about sex makes you uncomfortable, it's completely valid to ask them not to do so in front of you. this does not make you immature and anyone who makes you feel like it does deserves a punch in the face tbh.
all this being said, i 100% recommend you getting help for your trauma, just because you deserve to feel better in yourself. if along the way you discover that you're not actually aroace then ?? that's fine my friend! or maybe you will discover nope yep definitely aroace, and that will also be fine!
it's your life, and your identity, and as long and you're being honest with yourself in the moment, in this very moment in time, you really don't need to stress about it too much my sweet.
sending you so much love, and again, if you ever need to talk about it i'm here! i hoped this helped somewhat <3

Dwarrow & Ones.
There is a small thing that has not been overly talked about and that is a dwarf and their One. Basically, this is their soulmate and it could mean in a romantic sort of way, or a platonic way.
Now, this is not apart of Tolkien lore, but it is apart of fanon. When a dwarf meets their One, there is a way of knowing this: whether it be having a tattoo appear or there's just a feeling that you know that it is your life person.
A dwarf is devoted to that person, no matter their status of relations. And it was actually asked by a fan to Richard Armitage about Thorin and his love - who would that be and whatnot. The typical response that had been given was that Thorin would end up with a princess as that would be per protocol of dwarven society. But to be quite honest: I would think that Thorin would take a different route to that.
A friend can be a soul mate, this is what would be called platonic One. A good example of this is probably Frodo and Sam ( at least the best example I can give without delving too deep. )
Thorin loves and he loves hard, and very deeply. When he has allowed himself to be open with his person, they get to see things that he does not wish anyone else to know. He is comfortable around them, he feels he can be open without worry of judgement. This is not the case at first as he is always heavily guarded, distrustful, and angry. Whoever becomes his partner will need to be persistent but patient, understanding but also strong.
But when those walls are broken down?
It is a rarity for him but Thorin will show gentleness and give comfort, he will be the strength his partner needs. There will be a softness that only his kin or his partner will see, but he can also be commanding should it be needed. Thorin will move boulders if he has to just to get to said partner as they are the most important thing to him.

RULES
I know it says OTP up there but that’s just to make the title run more smoothly - feel free to submit fantasies involving a single character, OT3 or more, characterxreader, etc.
OTP does not necessarily mean it has to be romantic or sexual. The relationship can be platonic, queerplatonic, enemies, anything.
Submissions with explicit nudity or sex acts must be tagged as “NSFW IYFO”. All others will be tagged as “SFW IYFO”. You may use both if you’re not sure. Sometimes I will do that myself.
Submissions must be (largely) universally applicable to any character. You can include any conditions you like (scenarios, time periods, etc) as long as they can be understood to be part of an AU situation and not exclusive to a particular character or characters.
I may tag your posts however I deem appropriate, or edit them for spelling and grammar. I will not edit them otherwise without asking you. If you would not like me to edit your post at all, let me know.
Submissions should start with “Imagine your OTP/character/OT3…” You do not have to start with “Imagine your feedist XYZ” but you can if you wish.
Submissions may be of any length, but if they are longer than five paragraphs they will be put under a readmore.
18+ users ONLY. This is an adults-only space.
All posts, submitted or otherwise, will be anonymous. You are free to submit using your main and I can promise that it will be posted 100% anonymously.
Submissions that are similar to past posts in content or themes will be published, but direct copies will not be. (This is meant to cover coincidences more than anything else.)
I use US Customary units in my imagines because those are the ones I’m familiar with, but feel free to use any other units! You can convert any you see here with Google.
Everything here is free to use as art/fic prompts unless the submitter specifies otherwise.
Remember that these situations are first and foremost fantasies. Do not try anything you see here in real life unless you are absolutely certain it is safe to do so.
Finally, as long as submission does not break the rules, this is a 100% judgement free zone! Submissions may cross over with other kinks, and even if a particular theme/kink/etc hasn’t been posted about before, feel free to submit it. I will probably tag it but that does not mean that it’s bad - it’s a system of filtering by interest. Those who like it will certainly actively seek it out!
Restrictions:
If your submission has any of the following elements it will not be published. While I can understand an honest mistake and I am willing to negotiate small edits, repeated violations or immediate abuse will get you blocked and ignored. Response to your actions is ultimately up to my discretion. If you feel any of these standards need to be discussed, clarified, or changed send me an ask (though most are definitely non-negotiable).
NO fatphobic submissions or comments. (Teasing in a fantasy context is fine.)
NO non-consensual submissions, whether sexually (rape, “dubcon”, or any other kind of unwanted sexual contact) or within feedism (secret or unwanted fattening or feeding). Yes I know it’s a fantasy scenario, but these are my standards on my blog. I am not here to debate any ethics relating to this. (Situations in which one or more parties are asleep or intoxicated must make consent explicit.)
NO submissions where one or more active parties are under the age of eighteen, or situations where one or more parties are understood to be under the age of eighteen based on context.
NO submissions where two or more parties are related to each other.
NO submissions that attack, marginalize, or fetishize anyone based on factors including but not limited to race, gender, sexuality, trans and/or nonbinary status, or ability. This specifically excludes cisbends (aka “genderbends”) and omegaverse. Situations involving immobility must be completely voluntary on the part of the immobile person.
No submissions that attack, marginalize, or fetishize eating disorders.
No submissions involving cannibalism, vampirism, or other detailed gore. This includes vore. (Submissions of that nature are accepted on blogs like imagineyourkinkyotp.)
These are less severe but still important:
Submissions where “You” are the only character don’t fit the topic of the blog, and first person submissions in general don’t really work. (You /can/ be your own favorite character if you’d like.)
No submissions that specifically identify any characters or contain factors that specifically identify a character.
Submissions that are better suited to more general “imagine your OTP” blogs should be submitted to those.

Ship askmeme: Zhang Chengling/Jin Ling/Lan Sizhui
a ship i have in fact thought about, funny enough sldkfjdsj
1. What made you ship it?
just chatting crossover shenanigans, thinking about when to cross over these two worlds, and where, and who. and realising--hey! juniors! chengling could have more friends!
and then realising--hey! juniors shipping! chengling could have boyfriends!
2. What are your favourite things about the ship?
they're all such Good Boys. i already like jin ling/lan sizhui as a ship, quite a lot. and adding another good boy to the mix is bound to be fun.
this particular combination is interesting because they're all orphans but in such wildly different ways, so their respective relationships to the concept of family are going to be slightly different, and yet overlap a significant amount. chengling's is more recent, rather than his whole remembered life, but he still knows very well how to make family out of people. interestingly, probably considerably more than jin ling, who's still figuring things out.
chengling isn't too strong, but he's getting there, and he's clever with mechanical things, and stubborn, and a good judge of character. i feel like he'd know to trust sizhui immediately, and wouldn't be fooled for a second by jin ling's prickles and haughtiness. let chengling have some more people around that are closer to his age and not just older and stronger than him while ranked lower than him and the complicated dynamics that evokes. let chengling have a bit of hero worship that turns into something more.
and i think it would do jin ling good, actually, to have someone a tiny bit younger and less strong than he is to look up at him with big sweet cheerful eyes. someone who's even better at being the spoilt babie than he is because chengling was a youngest. someone who calls jin ling gege, and lets him strut and show off a bit, and poke around at his growing capacity for responsibility, and yet completely school him in matters of intuition and character judgement and thorough shamelessness because i mean look at chengling's shifu and shishu look at his terrible examples of course he's going to be the most shameless.
would chengling and jin ling both be an entire handful each? and is jingyi already an entire handful? making for three entire handfuls, platonic or otherwise? yes. but a-yuan is up for that juggling act if anyone is. i think he would enjoy it. i think he likes the challenge and the responsibility. i think he likes being in charge. i think he likes acting poised and wise, and i think he likes being dragged out of it. i think he could use some jiang-style fussing delivered in jin-style brash awkwardness, softened by chengling's uncanny ability to always read his mood and drag answers out of him and then drag him off to do something about it.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
i mean, does anyone else even ship this? my popular opinion (according to everyone i have polled about it, which is one person and the person is me) is that chengling is on the aromantic spectrum and this in no way keeps him from having two boyfriends.

ranking of love live (only µ’s and aqours bc i dont know enough about nijigasaki or liella to really make any judgements) relationships based on my opinions alone. i should be studying for my finals. nobody needs to read this i just need to make my stances clear
the best:
yohamaru. other people had their gay awakenings to nozoeli but nooo i was an aqours fan i had to latch onto these weirdos when i was in 8th grade. anyway they have it ALL and it astonishes me that they’re not more popular. the childhood friends reunited. the jokey banter. the fact that hanamaru is DEFINITELY also a little weird but people don’t notice. the fact that their voices sound so good together and we deserve a duo song...is it really possible for a choir girl and a twitch streamer to be in a relationship... i truly believe that even if hanamaru teases yoshiko sometimes she truly believes that she’s the coolest person EVER. hanamaru sees that her old best friend is going through a warriors phase and demanding to be called ‘ravenstar’ and just goes god she’s still so awesome. they watch horror movies together and yoshiko cowers behind hanamaru the whole time while hanamaru considers the artistic merit of the plot. i think they are nonbinary lesbianisms together.
nozoeli. they’re so married. garasu no hanazono has been my top song on spotify wrapped for two years in a row. despite arguably being the most canon relationship they can fit so much yearning in there. i don’t even know what to say about them they’re so good. they really do have gay aunts energy.
rinpana. they’re t4t and the most autistic girls around and they’ve been in love with each other for so long they feel like it’s sort of an unspoken thing. like of course we love each other silly. everyone else tells rin ‘CUT YOUR MULLET NOW’ but hanayo just goes ..’wow... a mane. you’re like a cute little lion’ and rin keeps the mullet forever. who can say if this is good or bad.
chikayouriko. people always fight over these guys because they don’t realize none of them should be left out. you can’t have chikariko without you you can’t have chikayou without riko and you can’t even have youriko without chika. they’re sillay. we’re getting into the trios category now btw
kanamaridia. similar to chikayouriko in that people constantly leave dia out even though she’s so important to the dynamic.. i think they all got ‘married’ as kids and none of them have really let it go and they really can’t imagine the real deal happening in any other way. it’s always been the three of them.
honokotoumi. very similar in backstory to kanamaridia but they’re a lot stupider about it. i think kotoumi are a lot more obvious but honoka is the glue that holds them together. they all complement each other very well.
the ‘okay i can see it’:
youruby: i think this could be cute. they have personalities that mesh well together and i think they’d have a lot of fun just hanging out.
rubyleah. it’s fun! i feel like they have a lot of parallels and differences that work out in a nice way, but also i feel like leah didn’t have enough screen time to get me invested in this. i also hc ruby as arospec so i think it’d take more time than they got for her to develop feelings for anyone.
rikomaki. red hair pianists. it’s cute. this is the only cross-group relationship i’ll even consider just because it’s fun.
the ‘only platonically. sorry’:
yohariko. i actually really dislike this romantically for some reason, but by GOD their friendship is SO fucking fun. the two people you wouldn’t ever really think could be besties just end up clicking. i mean EVERYONE in aqours is friends but they usually stay within their ‘years’ yknow? it’s nice to see. i think they’re supportive forces in each other’s lives and help each other stay grounded and live a little respectively. people probably assume they’re dating bc of how close they become, but they aren’t. if anyone asks riko probably just starts laughing, which yoshiko acts very offended about.
rubymaru. this is?? kind of pushed as much as yohamaru is but i just don’t see it as anything but platonic. i think it’s also kinda boring and does a disservice to both of their characters. i like them as friends a lot but i feel like they’re more interesting when there’s other characters to interact with. i like maru being the kind of friend that encourages ruby to be more confident. emotional support hanamaru that helps her just. order a drink. ruby calls hanamaru at like 12 at night to ask for ideas for costumes and hanamaru always picks up.
nicomaki. I KNOWWWW they push it so hard in everything they put them in but the age gap bothers me. i think a lot of people look past it because maki is very mature and collected and nico is. nico. and the dynamic could be cute. but. idk a lot of people gloss over the fact that maki is 15 and nico is 17. they’re still really good as friends.
every other relationship i haven’t mentioned. they’re all best friends to me.
very funny one sided:
ruby having a one-sided crush on kanan would be SO funny. the ‘older sister’s cool boyfriend’ effect. ruby admires her strength and carefree attitude a lot, but i think she gets over it pretty quickly and comes to see her as a friend that she just looks up to.

YES
Steve is just such an interesting character; his development from season 1-4 is beautifully bittersweet. He’s truly changed and he’s willing to fight and die for the people he loves but it seems like almost every other character just constantly reminds him of when he was “King” Steve, as if he hasn’t made huge steps to separate himself with that image. Plus, it’s pretty clear Steve has a complicated relationship with his dad (he was 100% neglected as a child) and while no one in the group would ever relate Steve on the same level as his father, he doesn’t know that. All he hears is how big a dick he was and basically confirmation that no matter how much he’s changed, he’ll still be seen and remembered that way. At least from the main group and they aren’t doing it to be mean but god S4 would make you think so.
When it comes to Robin, Dustin, and Eddie though (the finale doesn’t exist, nope) they see him for who he is, no judgement. Ugh just pls, Steve Harrington deserves a lot more than what he’s been given
While I love the DB for the Steve and Dustin friendship, Robin and Steve are as close to perfect as it gets for me. I think it's because she was the first person that's his age that actively sought out a friendship with him. Maybe not at first, but when it counted. She trusted him with something she couldn't trust anyone else with and she did that within the period of figuring out the Russians, to their rescue by Dustin and Erica which isn't that much time. Now, one season/ like 9 months later, she's the only person that sees past the "Cool Guy Steve" persona he puts on. She's the one patting his back and she's the one he seeks out (Think about the military supply store or when they're making Molotov cocktails) when he needs someone that will listen to him. Eddie, God bless him because he's the best, he didn't get that close but if the DB gave him more time, he would've. Nancy, on the other hand, thinks she has seen as deep as he goes but he's giving her what she wants to see, not the messy stuff underneath it. Platonic with a Capital P is what Steve needs because he's never, in his whole life, had a real friend.

Hello there Mika!! Your art is huge inspiration to me and I love it so much words can't explain it, I absolutely love your sketches, doodles, full art pieces, whatever you make I absolutely adore. Sorry for blabbing but just wanted to ask about things you really hate about sskk, like what the fandom does with the ship that you dislike?😭 Take care of yourself drink some water!💜💫
TW for sa mention!! Sorry but i ramble a bit here so im gonna add a cut!! (Plus the tw) Take care of yourself too and ill get some water right now actually😋
Okay firstly!! Hello!! Thank you so much!! And no worries no need to apologize its very sweet of you im so glad you like my art i really do appreciate it!! Thank you!
And its hard for me to say exactly? Im still very much into bsd but ive been distant with the fandom for a little while now BUT!! From what i remember what i usually didnt like was when people would make them so..two dimensional kinda?? BSD has pretty morally complicated characters and it was really weird when people would flatten sskk's personalities down to just some ship dynamic bc they are SOOO much more complicated than that. And thats just as INDIVIDUALS!! Even when considering them together theres a lot to think about when it comes down to their functionality, whether or not its viewed as romantic or platonic. And of course youre always gonna have those people who just water down any mlm ship into some weird dynamic that doesn't even fit the character's relationship which is just obviously Not Great.
And then as far as the characters individually i feel like a lot of people baby atsushi its really odd. Like that man has gone through some shit he is GROWNNN. I think its because hes the "softer" one out if the two or whatever. Which yeah he's nicer, its made clear akutagawa isn't a great person but atsushi isnt the exact opposite of akutagawa or the "softer" one. They're narrative foils of eachother, they mirror many of the other's character traits and atsushi has also done some Not Super Stellar shit. Do i think most of it was within reason? A little, considering what hes been through and exactly what he did. I do think he is the better person between the both of them - and i feel like thats also proven - but he is by NO means "innocent" or anything weird like that.
Then for akutagawa its really only that weird sa headcannon that originated from something he said in Beast (i can't remember exactly what, but i remember thinking it was NOT enough to warrant a hc like that. I remember that much). And as someone who's been through that a couple times i think its one thing if its some way to help someone cope or feel more seen (more specifically it isnt my business to cast judgement -unless it hurts them or someone else- and im no therapist), but i have seen people apply the headcannon simply because they say its "implied" or it "makes sense". Which, once again, as someone who's gone through that i think thats just. Weird. I dont like it. I personally try to stay away from any talk about it at all from anyone.
I also don't like when people make it seems like Atsushi has to save Akutagawa or something like hes some knight in shining moral armor. Its much more complicated than that and I could go further into this but it would be a whole rant about their characters and dynamic and itd go on FOREVER. So im just gonna say that akutagawa is also a grown man and knows well enough what hes doing with himself, even if its unhealthy (not that Atsushi is any better but lets be real no one is this show really is) and he wouldn't listen to atsushi if he didnt want to anyway. This part is really just personal opinion though, and i don't cast hard judgement on people who see them that way. Im not the type to care enough.
So yeah i guess it wasn't really hard to say at all LMFAO but otherwise i dont think ive had any other issues abt it?? I dont pay much attention to things i don't like anyway so im not easily bothered lol
But i hope this answered your question!! Plz lmk if i missed or misinterpreted something!! It was nice to talk about BSD again anyway though, ive missed it.
