I think my asked is sent to the void and re sending it just in case
For Tamaki, Honey, and Kyoya, when their forging commoner crush give them something handmade for their birthday ( liked a knitted sweater or something nice that can be handcrafted)
Tumblr media
Countryside Commoner Reader | Yandere Ouran Host Club
You’ve made your lovely friends something neat for your birthday! A nifty little gift that you were taught to make in your hometown. Too bad a simple token of sweetness to leave these boys addicted to you:
Tumblr media
Tamaki Suoh
“Oh my this….marvelous! I’ll wear it every day!” 
“Er maybe not e’ryday it’ll gets dirty won’t it?”
“Nonsense! It was made by you and that automatically makes it the most pure it can ever be!” 
“O–okay.”
Overdramatic as ever Haruhi might convince you he’s joking
He’s not
In private his huffing at the stitching and woven design trying to smell your scent
He doesn’t wear it outside because he fears someone will steal it from him
Not to impede on his ritual of cataloguing whatever cute things you said and did that day in his (Y/n) room, hugging himself while he wears your creation
“A gift from my rose all for me!”
Tumblr media
Kyoya Ootori
“I kno it’s nota big spenda gift but I like makin’ gif with ma hands. D-do you like it?”
“...I really appreciate it, (Y/n)  I’ve never been given something made with….so much intent.”
“So uh is that a good thin’ or–?”
“It is a very good thing.” 
As soon as he gets home he immediately puts it in an enlightened glass case
Smiling as he documents the date and audio of your voice
He replays it on repeat as he files his paperwork
Letting himself relish in the uneven tones of your voice
“Only you could make me so pathetic (Y/n). I hope you’ll be ready to pay when you’re mine.”
Tumblr media
Mitskuni Haninozuka “Honey”
“Whoa!”
“Happy Birthday made it for ya! I added a lil’ pocket fer candy bits.”
“AAAH! THIS IS THE BEST, (Y/n)!”
Will not put it down for the life of him 
Bragging about it to all that he hosts that day 
Giving it special treatment over Usa-chan
You made it just for him! That solidifies it you really were made for him
You liked making him happy, right?
So much so that you’d want his birthday to be perfect, right?
“Then why don’t you come over! Stay with me forever!”

love love love your work. could i request a jealous jake in his rut with the spitting and degradation kink and just him being a dickhead 🤭 thank you so much love 🥰
i hope you don't mind lovely anon, but im gonna continue on the dilf Jake train with this one ;)
what good is jealousy?
Requests Closed!!
mdni.
warnings: spitting, degradation, jealousy, Jake being mean (cums and dies), sloppy toppy (Jake receiving), swearing
Okay but let's talk about how much meaner dilf Jake can be.
How much more jealous he can be.
You weren't even trying to provoke him, when you did it was usually very obvious in your flirty body language and foxy glances. But here, you had made Tonowari a soup that had many different healing and nutrient dense ingredients, seeing as he had been recovering from a nasty cold. You had shyly laughed at one of his simple jokes, and left him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Not in a million years would it cross your mind that your husband standing behind you would erupt in a jealous fury. It was immature of him to react this way - insecure at best - but if you kissed Tonowari, then who else were you kissing?
This simple, almost mindless event had Jake leaping into action. He gripped your arm and yanked you back to your shared space, closing the exits frantically. Before you could address his unprompted madness, he had your jaw forcefully in his hand.
"What the hell was that? Hm?" There was a furious flame flickering in his narrowing pupils.
When you didn't answer, he demanded, "Open your mouth. Now," your tongue was presented to him, and he spat distastefully into your mouth, "Would you let Tonowari do that? I bet you would, disgusting bitch." He scoffed at himself, at you, "Gonna fuck him right out of that pretty little, dumb head of yours. On your knees."
This was your punishment. You should've known you were Jake's and Jake's alone. Once on your knees, there was a flood of flashbacks of many lustful nights where Jake had outdone himself in proving that he could only reign over you. The nights where you came so many times you instantly fell asleep afterward. Times where he slammed his insanely big cock into you so fucking good you literally saw stars. Truthfully, you should've saw this coming, but you weren't going to make an effort to avoid Jake displaying his power over you.
Still in that genteel way, Jake delicately combed the hair from your face and pulled into a neat pony tail in his abnormal hand.
"Don't fucking look at me like that. You did this to yourself. You made your bed, lay in it." He tsked.
Nodding pitifully, you shifted aside his loincloth and took hold of the one responsible for the most unforgettable nights of your life. He was only half hard, so your workload was nearly doubled. But with his growing age, he was easier to arouse, and quicker to finish.
The first, pathetic kitten lick to his tip had his abdomen tightening to reveal a shadow of what used to be his stiff abs. Often he complained of this, but truthfully, you enjoyed the fluffier look. More for you to enjoy!
After shamefully hissing at the sensation, he took his embarrassment out on you, "Really? You think that's all it takes? Use your fucking head, whore."
After tugging at your pony tail, you took his awful words into consideration and stroked your hand along his inches to promote blood flow. And when he started to stiffen to his full length, you experimented with swirling your tongue around his tip. Hearing him lowly groan and watching his thighs flex was a sight that never disappointed to excite you.
Jake sighed, "Stop it with the teasing, when I said use your head-" he pushed half of his length past your lips "-I meant it." A longer, guttural sigh emitted from his throat.
His tip reached the reactive part of your throat that made you gag, "Yeah, that's it, that's what I like to hear."
Jake didn't give you many chances to do the work he had you set to do. He wasn't afraid to take the reigns and roll his hips in and out of your hollowed cheeks, feeling your tongue caress and slither on the underside of his cock. Droplets of pre-cum were welcomed on your tastebuds and mixed with the remains of his spit in your mouth. The mouth that clearly belonged to Jake.
After while, the effort became collaborative, and you were working your mouth as much as he was his rolling hips. More ragged breathing and the tiniest of moans reached your ears.
Jake struggled to form a sentence through his groaning, "Holy shit - ngh- where the hell did you learn to do this so good? Fuck, yeah, do that again - oh-"
What was once pure humiliation spewing from him, was now stumbling phrases of surprise. But this could only last for so long.
As much as he wanted to rut into your mouth, the combining ministrations had Jake whining more than acting, "Fuck baby I'm close. C'mon, show me what you got."
You focused your attention on his tip and the movement of your tongue, pumping the remaining inches with your slippery palm. Knowing all of this was caused by you brought about a spurt of confidence. It also had you squirming on your heels to ease some of the painfully uncomfortable want below your own loincloth.
Sooner than you expected, Jake's waist became stationary, and his abdomen flexed and relaxed with his labored breathing. Against your palm and tongue you felt a faint twitch and pulse, one that was more telling than you thought.
"Fucking slut - shit I'm cumming -!"
He had failed to mention that as half of his load was already dripping down your sore throat. But you let him finish, pulling every bit from him by flicking your wrist. Jake's head had rolled back, his choked moans reverberating off the walls.
"Goddamnit..." his features scrunched up when the last few drops of his cum coated your tongue.
Tired, his eyes fell forward to you, and purred for you to swallow what he had given to you. His free hand gently cradled your cheek and the end of his tail tickled your shoulder affectionately. You parted your lips again to show him your clean tongue.
His thumb caressed your cheekbone sweetly, "Yeah, looks good baby," he helped you to your feet and met your gaze, "Now...don't do that shit again. As much as I love fuckin' your face, I don't want to do it because you can't behave. Yeah? C'mere."
A tender kiss and warm embrace was exactly what you needed to learn your lesson.

Okay, now my appreciation post for WxS digest anime
I love how theatrical it is!! But first, have some of Tsukasa's poses first
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And some of his pathetic expressions
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes I wonder why I even like him, but that's okay, he's adorable.
I love how it opens with a curtain and WxS!Miku greeting us (and the blue balloon before the title), and how the curtain and the close-up of Tsukasa's eyes are showing the viewers parts of the play--the prologue, the conflict to the falling action, and then the denouement. Very neat, and no wonder they shuffle the game's prologue to when Tsukasa realizes his feelings in the main story (chapter 13) because it is supposed to be the climax of the play. And the music!! The fun orchestral part only plays on prologue and denouement, while it's very quiet in the middle to build the atmosphere.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsukasa definitely looks pathetic and embarrassing in the early parts of the digest anime, but I don't think his ridiculous expressions can defeat that meme-able Akito's expression lol
And it was really obvious compared to other units digest anime, but Tsukasa is definitely the star of the show (pun intended). In L/N main story, Ichika is not present for one of the most important moments (Honami & Shiho) and everyone have their moments to shine. In MMJ and VBS, Shizuku & Airi and Akito & Toya have their own plots where Minori & Kohane take a backseat role.
In WxS main story, Tsukasa is the protagonist who moves the plot along (and Emu as the deuteragonist). He's the main character who gets invited by the weird girl, invited the rest of the cast, makes the unit fall apart, finds the strength and will to make it all up, and gathers all of them together again. This digest highlights it by showing no two characters interact together without Tsukasa (except the hiding Nene and WxS!Miku).
And the climax, god, how much the flashback focuses on Saki's smiles makes me feel so much warmth. Tsukasa is focusing so much on Saki's smiles that he wants to make her smile as bright as that too. I also love how it shows how Tsukasa just duct-taped some cardboard as makeshift wings for a show for Saki. You can see how much effort Tsukasa did to make her smile, and even though it looked pathetic and shabby, he didn't care as long as she smiled.
........It's the 88☆彡 reference again.... the early lines...
"I’m sure somewhere along the way, I realized (this is…) Just a child’s play (La La La~ sparkling, twinkling) You showed your smile"
In that hospital room, Tsukasa knowing that it's just a poor imitation of the wonderful play that they saw together, but he didn't care because the important thing is that Saki is smiling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love them.
I like (most of the) scenes that they choose, and I like how over-the-top the scene between Emu and Tsukasa in the beginning, and Nenerobo is also adorable.
Everyone is adorable, actually, even the 180 cm Rui.
Actually, Rui's solo scene in his garage just goes to show how disappointed Rui was by what happened. He's not only just angry at Tsukasa for blaming Nene so harshly, but he's also sad because his hopes of having friends to do shows together became naught again. In the beginning where Tsukasa asked him to do shows together (12,000%), it's obvious that Rui didn't really trust him but deep in his heart he wanted to trust Tsukasa. Rui saying "you can't become a star" to Tsukasa might hurt him as much as it hurt Tsukasa, added by the pain of having his trust betrayed by hurting his dear childhood friend.
But the Emu and Nene capture Rui together scene is very adorable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And have this Tsukasa reaching out to Rui with the light behind him.
As expected of a future star.

💙 + japril?
💙 Drunken Kiss
"Has anyone ever told you that your eyes are the prettiest shade of blue?"
Jackson - who has, in fact, been told that before and usually reacts with a laugh or maybe a wink - isn't quite sure why hearing that from April makes him feel so flustered. Maybe it's because she's staring up at him in a wide-eyed, wondering sort of way, something soft and vulnerable in her face.
It's not something he wants to look at too closely, though, so for now he simply shoves it to one side and focuses down on his roomate and the empty bottle of wine on the couch beside her.
"April, are you drunk?"
"They are. Like a really soft duck egg blue. Although in some lights they look kind of green, did you know that?"
He also puts to one side the notion that she's been making some kind of study of his eyes. "April."
"Yes, I'm drunk. So what? It's New Year's Eve. Aren't you supposed to get drunk on New Year's Eve? Aren't you drunk?"
She's got a point. Jackson is lightly buzzed after a glass or two of champagne, but he had those at his mother's lavish party where there were also plenty of canapes being served, while it looks to him like April's been getting drunk by herself with only their TV for company.
"Okay, let me rephrase. Why have you been getting drunk here instead of elsewhere? Didn't you have a party to go to, at a friend's?"
He knows she did, because she's still wearing the short, green silk dress she had picked out for it, although her hair's not quite as neat as it was a few hours ago and she's kicked off her high heels. But she still looks good; Jackson had to try very hard not to notice how long her legs looked in that dress earlier, and it's even harder now when he's got a couple of drinks in him.
April looks away from him, her bottom lip sticking out in a pout that he briefly thinks is adorable before he shakes himself out of it.
"C'mon, April."
She sighs and flops back in her seat. "I did. I went for a bit. It sucked."
He sits down beside her, tilting his head questioningly. "How so?"
For a moment he thinks she's not going to answer and then, "Everyone was coupled up except me. I was literally the only person there without a date. Everyone was going to have a kiss at midnight except me. I decided I'd rather come home and get drunk enough to forget I was alone."
"Oh." Jackson doesn't really know what to say that, because he wasn't alone tonight - although honestly he doesn't know that it much of a step up because he's not actually sure what her name was and although he did kiss her at midnight she ended up leaving the party with someone else.
"Yeah, I know, I'm pathetic."
She's running a finger round the edge of her wine glass, her eyes downcast, and she looks so goddamn sad he can't stand it. He wants to do something, anything, to make her feel better.
"You're not pathetic, April. You're not. Who the fuck cares if you didn't have a date on New Year's Eve? You're an incredible surgeon who saves lives every day, you're smart and funny and fun. You're amazing. And there's someone out there who will see that and think he's the luckiest guy in the world to be with you."
"You really think that?" When she looks up at him, tears glinting along her lashes, something twists in his stomach.
"Yeah, I really do. C'mon, let's get some sleep. You'll feel better in the morning."
Nodding, she lets him pull her up and usher her across the apartment to her room; he can already see her drooping, tiredness starting to drape across her shoulders like a physical weight.
". . . thanks, Jackson," she whispers, turning to open the door, but at the last minute an insane urge takes him and he grabs her hand and pulls her back.
"Hey." Gently, he lifts her chin and then bends down to press a soft kiss to her lips. It's not quite as coordinated as he might have liked since they're both drunk; their teeth clack together and he can taste the wine she's been drinking, but somehow it sets his heart beating faster than any kiss he can remember having.
He puts it down to the champagne and pulls back. "Happy New Year, April."
Her face is flushed, and that wondering look is back in her eyes. His gut clenches again.
"Happy New Year, Jackson," she murmurs.
Before he can give into any more stupid impulses, he backs off and heads to his own room - but at the door he stops and glances back. April's just disappearing into her room, but he can see she's lifted a hand to lightly touch her lips.
Jackson's heart is still racing as he shuts the door behind him, and he shakes his head at his own stupidity. What the hell was he doing? That's his best friend, and his roommate. He just . . .
. . . he just wanted to make her feel better.
It's fine, he tells himself. They're both drunk. April probably won't even remember tonight.
And yet, he can't entirely ignore the part of himself that hopes she might.

If Jake is based on archetype of Strong Female Character then I think he should get Evil Woman arc. Let him snap and go bananas. Sburb is his stage and he is gonna became a star, and break fourth wall and if needed all the walls. I just really want Jake to go batshit. And then better but first batshit. And fight with crockertier! Jane because I think it would help them both to have a proper scream match and some stabbing or two.
admission: i have let this ask stew in my drafts for months because i had exams, and also because i needed to fully process everything in this singular paragraph because it threw a wrench in my jello sack processor
so, in short:
thank you for this ask anon holy shit i love getting asks about this stuff i am full of words about it !! that being said
I AM QUESTIONING THE CLASSIFICATION OF HIM AS STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER. I AM SO VERY QUESTIONING IT
that statement triggered a fucking. sleeper agent in my brain because i disagree so hard so so hard, oh my god i'm. okay technically it's a half disagree. sliver of agreement in there but it's for a very specific scenario that I need TIME to explain (which i now have so Buckle Up)
if you want my aabsolute shortest shorty short response to this ask it's yes, i think jake deserves to go batshit insane, i would like nothing more than to see him be a petty deranged bitch. king shit honestly!! But Not In That Way Slash Manner. okay now WORDS
so, we have the idolization/I Know What You Are he has with lara croft. we have all his big talk about being an adventurer, we have fisticuffs and guns and sparring with a bot, but, as many posts before this have pointed out in much more depth than i can attempt to surmise, jake is not that. motherfucker is a coward, avoids conflict like the plague and plays up an oblivious front to dodge responsibility (god i still can't read the jane confession scene without screaming look at that fucking LIAR)!! a defining aspect of jake's character is his continuous lack of agency throughout the comic too, which is a rabbit hole i'm not going down for the sake of my sanity and your patience [:
point is, in the words of a shitton of other people: he's a hapless bimbo archetype, or at least attempts to embody it!!!!
he wants to be a strong female character, makes an idol out of an example of them (lara), but in the end the narrative itself bends backwards to call him pathetic. point and laugh at the moron in the piss coloured underpants. something something, yet another case of lost potential
there are specific circumstances under which jake does hit as a strong female character. that's getting old i'm gonna shorten that to sfc now. big thanks to tony crazyexdirkfriend for this perspective because the one angle where i can read jake as an sfc is from an extremely meta perspective, in reference to how he's built up to be someone with a lot of importance/skill/competence, while in reality his agency is pretty much moot. it's an empty label, all his "strength" is superficial and falls away once you look any deeper than the upper epidermis. that's neat as hell!!!! i don't think that's the take you were going for, but it is an angle i enjoy and appreciate <:
that being said, even with this and any accurate read of jake really, him having an evil woman arc will have to take place in a specific set of circumstances methinks,, like mfer is probably actively performing an insanity act for Some Reason, an angry tired jake is more likely to revert to sopping wet bawling retreat anger than anything else. letting him snap and go bananas will only work if you character arc his ass enough to change a fundamental part of him!!! and a crockertier scream match is more in jane's favour for. y'know all the years of being a vent box for him. which i don't think is accessible on a count of, y'know, Literal Mind Control
i am the no.2 supporter on the Let Jake Be Batshit train (only second because i know at least four people who'd tie for first) but i don't think he'd seek out attention from beyond the 4th wall. because he can't handle the pressure of being perceived. no walls have ever needed to be broken for jake english to be a star - he's always been performing!! for the people around him, for the narrative, to be the oblivious himbo that never meant to do any wrong. the core of jake english and what drives him to extremes has always been to be liked, and to be safe. maybe those two things are the same to him. it gets suffocating, y'know? and when something gets too much, jake does what he's always done: he runs.
so yeah, no, i don't think so. do let him be a catty bitch tho!! he deserves that [:

"Would you mind being a nude model for me?"
Tumblr media
Completely Safe for work! No smut or other shenanigans here!
Prompt: MC asks them to model nude. The royal/brother/Solomon get embarrassed and doesn't know what to make of it but MC is actually just a very tired artist that needs anatomy practice.
GN MC (They/them) 3rd ppov as always
Word count: 990
Tumblr media
Levi
"Of course you have abs, why wouldn't you?"
"I don't think I've ever met anyone that hates abs," Levi chuckles, but he's trying very hard to not run off and find a hole to die in. He's fully nude, being glared at, and his Henry just scoffed at the only feature of his that he's confident it. “You do know that ‘Grand Admiral’ isn’t just a title, right?”
"No, I- it's not- HMMM," MC hums angrily to themself, tapping their pencil to their head. "It's fine that you have abs Levi. You are attractive. I just wanted to practice drawing different body types, you know? If I wanted to draw more abs I would have gone to the museum and stared at some sculptures."
"And you just assumed I was chubby?" Levi’s snark died out as MC began to circle him slowly. Why had he chosen such an open stance? Why couldn’t the vortex be merciful and swallow him whole? The broom stick in his raised fist was a pathetic excuse for wielding a sword, and he even with the sheet loosely draped around his waist Levi was acutely aware of how close he was to flashing MC.
"Cut me some slack, I’ve never seen you lift anything heavier than an akuzon box of manga.” MC doesn’t notice Levi fall silent, but they see his shoulders tense up. They ignore it, more focused on looking for a good position to sketch from before deciding to sit to the far left- back muscle practice it is. “Anyways, you’re much better company than some stone statue.”
A bonus of live figure drawing is the conversation, although it was a balancing act with Levi. Something interesting enough to keep him from running off or fidgeting too much, but it also couldn't be something he was passionate about because he'd lose his concentration and break the pose. So they spent the better half of the next two hours doing a spontaneous media analysis and ranking list of the movies they've seen in the last couple of years.
Levi carries the conversation when MC falls silent, squinting and tilting their head this way and trying to figure out how to work out the shading onto their paper. He kept peeking over his shoulder to look at them work; serious and so deeply focused that they didn't notice Levi staring at them. He's never seen them put this amount of concentration on something that wasn't a life or death situation. Levi couldn't help how his heart skipped a beat to think they were focusing so hard on him.
"Okay, I'm done, want to see?" MC doesn't wait for Levi to respond, turning their sketchbook around for him. He tries to look away- he would rather not see all of the imperfections MC found on him after staring for so long- but MC is insistent, handing the sketchbook over to him.
"Woah," Levi gasped quietly, fingers running over the drawing. The expression from the side of his face was serious, that of someone wise and calm. His jaw was strong, and his shoulders were broader than he realized. The shoulder blades had such a strong shadow that he started to wonder if he had been unconsciously flexing this entire time. "You even managed to make someone like me look cool."
"I get what you mean, so thank you. But also, not really." MC turns away from him to start packing up their pencils and other sketchbooks. "When you see yourself in the mirror everyday it can be hard to be subjective. That's one of the neat little perks of being an artist- you can show others a new perspective. You're a cool dude Levi, so of course drawings of you are going to come out cool too." There's a small choking sound so MC looks to Levi again. He's holding the notebook to his chest with tears in his eyes.
"MC," Levi starts to run towards them, arms open for a hug.
"NOT UNTIL YOU PUT SOME PANTS ON," MC screams, diving across the tub to get some distance between themself and Levi. He runs to go throw on a shirt and sweats before coming back and hugging MC as tightly as he could. Levi wants to take a hundred pictures of the art but is only stopped by the thought that it might come off as something vain- something that Asmo would do. MC seems particularly slow in packing up their coloring supplies although they were left unused, so when their back was turned he snuck a few pictures to keep for himself.
Other tidbits:
-He resisted the urge to flip through the sketchbook, being handed the book was a sign of trust, not permission. He can remember all too well the times that Mammon had gone rummaging through his things and was caught red handed skimming through Levi's own sketchbooks.
-Levi would soon work up the courage to ask MC to draw together, and set up for a full day of drawing. They'd sit at opposite ends of his room in beanbag chairs, MC working by the light of the fish tank as they draw the underwater landscape while Levi sat closer to his computer, lofi music filling the quiet for a relaxing ambiance. He takes the time to repay the favor, drawing MC as they worked. His eyes on lingered on them, trying to memorize their face as he drew. Every so often MC would catch him staring and smile, lifting up their own sketchbook to show their progress. Levi's heart ran a little faster with that smile and he did the same- MC pretended not to notice that Levi only showed them the left page when he was clearly working on the right.
-Levi chickened out of showing them that day, but MC would find the picture tucked between dvd cases and a snack plate that had been left in front of their door the next time they were feeling down.

Yo! I love reading these, you’re putting in the MOST.
1. Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’ ?
2. What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare? (You know I’m eagerly still awaiting that nightmare fic, so I’ll have this as an appetizer)
26. What are their vices? (Specifically in their relationship)
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts !!
Heyyy, I'm happy to put the hotchgan vibes out there! A lot of my regulars have moved on to other fandoms or are taking much needed breaks from these spaces so it's feeling very lonely out here. I need the hotchgan like I need air. lol Thank you for indulging me! And always being there to shove me into a fun story!
1. Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’?
Man, I could really see it going both ways but god...just imagine it's Hotch. They haven't said I love you yet. There are plenty of things he does that just piss Derek off (and rightly so)...things that they're ready to go to blows over, even. And Hotch makes a decision that Derek doesn't like and finally, in a moment of pure desperation, Derek just says "WHY?!" and Hotch without even thinking says "Because I love you" and that's it. There's no more argument. Because what can Derek say to that? Mr. Repressed just verbal vomited in the sweetest most pathetic way.
2. What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?
Okay. That fic needs to happen ASAP. I'll work on it tonight with a glass of wine and see if I can make it happen. I really love it, but my writing has been trash lately. BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. Derek is hands on, he's going to try and soothe Hotch. He's going to hold him or run his hands through his hair, he's going to be physical as long as Hotch wants it. (And he does. I think we've established that this man is touch-starved.) Hotch on the other hand, he's more of an acts of service kind of guy. He's going to ask Derek if he wants to talk about it, he's going to get him a glass of water or a snack or ask if he wants to talk. I don't want to get too much more into detail because I'll dip into the story I'm writing for you. I will say, the direction I took is unexpected I think...which is why I'm struggling. I can't just fall into my usual comfort zone. And that's a good thing but harder to write when words are a challenge.
26. What are their vices? (Specifically in their relationship)
Ohhhh...I love vices. LOVE THEM. First of all, they're both so similar so one thing I think they both do is try to be in control at first. I can see Derek thinking he's helping, Hotch has to be in control at work so much that he feels like he's helping if he plans the date night or takes charge of weekend plans. And it isn't that Hotch minds that, he's totally fine with it, but if they both think the same thing? If they both try to plan the weekend without talking to the other? Things can get a little hairy. Lots of mixed up plans, rescheduling, apologies after hotly debated pros and cons for each plan and a big calendar posted on the freezer to help keep them on the same page.
Now, as far as different vices - I think Hotch is an over planner and Derek is very spontaneous, which can cause some friction. Vacations especially could be problematic. At home, I think that Hotch is a little messy and Derek is a bit of a neat freak (though their cars may tell a different story). Hotch is reserved and doesn't speak up when he's sick or hurt or might need to talk, which drives Derek insane. Hotch will suffer in silence until his insomnia kicks in, until he's awake all night, until Derek notices that he hasn't come to bed. "Do you need to talk?" he'll ask when he smells the coffee at 4am. Meanwhile, Derek takes his frustrations out on household projects instead of talking, so Hotch has to find out that Derek is struggling by coming home to the kitchen sink being ripped apart because of an irritating little drip. "Did you have a bad day?" Hotch asks as Derek rips the p-trap out from under the sink...the p-trap that has nothing to do with the little washer that needed replacing in the faucet to stop the drip...because he's moved on to a clog or something else now.
Communication is not a strong suit for either of them, which is a hilarious thing to say about a couple of FBI Agents with law degrees. LOL At work they're masterful, but with one another? Well...it's a learning curve. But the kissing is good and everything else can take its time, they have their whole lives to figure it out.
want me to talk about hotchgan? i will...at length...and hey, if you don't vibe with those questions, ask some of your own. i'll talk about them all day.

Someone liked my “do you want Vegeta HC” post so NOW YOU ALL GET TO DEAL WITH IT !!!! It’s my selfship ones soooooooo yeah.
🍓 BEANGETA LIST !!! 🍓
Tumblr media
(Chibi art by @snaelrz )
-He doesn’t really like sweet stuff in regards to food. He likes strawberries but only because he associates them with a certain someone (ME !!!!!).
-He says heavy metal is his favorite music genre to be all tough. He’s a liar, his favorite band is ABBA.
-He still has his tail and a lot of times it shows his true emotions and he gets annoyed with it; It’s very expressive.
-He has scars. Why they got rid of his scars after Namek I have no idea I love them ❤️
-He has fangs! I love da chompers!!!!
-He likes to be little spoon (will never admit it).
-He likes Raditz, Goku, and Nappa’s company (he will never admit it).
-He likes everything to be neat and tidy, even when he isn’t. He’ll clean around the house but only when he’s alone. Folds his clothes nicely and everything has its proper spot in his room. Doesn’t care if he isn’t showered though because “I’ll just get dirty again anyway” until I force him to wash up.
-He’s incredibly competitive. Reverse psychology really works on him. If you say he can’t do something, he’ll go out of his way to prove you wrong. The “Goku button” is definitely a thing, don’t press it.
-Gets flustered easily and usually just pretends to be mad so people leave him be.
-Doesn’t really like PDA, holding hands is pushing it for him; he gets shy and over thinks it. He’ll place a hand on the small of my back, rub his tail against mine briefly, bump shoulders with me, etc
-When alone with him, he has a thing for physical touch. Likes running his hands through my hair, down my arms and shoulders, especially loves petting my tail or holding it in his hands *gently* so it doesn’t cause discomfort. He loves being babied after training sessions. Around the full moon he gets REALLY touchy.
-Loves compliments (ego boost 100) especially about how strong he is or handsome or simply how much better he is than Goku.
-He gets jealous of other men pretty easily, especially if he doesn’t know them. He will worm his way between me and someone else if he feels we’re too close. Shows more affection when he’s jealous to get others to back off. A quick kiss will knock me out and he’ll sit there smirking at whoever was talking to me (the only time he’s okay with PDA) (it’s super effective)
-He loves being called “my prince,” “prince Vegeta,” or “your majesty.” Different tones can set the mood for him very quickly. Usually if someone else other than me calls him any of these he gets agitated because he thinks he’s being mocked. My teasing nickname for him is “Veggie.” He says he hates it but he’s a liar, and gets really pissed if someone else calls him it (it’s our thing).
-He never uses people’s real names, usually goes with nicknames he comes up with to spite them. If he uses your real name, you’re either Yamcha (he thinks it’s funny), in a dire situation, dying (or close to), or being intimate. Calls me “princess” sometimes 🥺. In public though I’m always referred to as “woman.”
-He usually trains alone or with Goku but on certain occasions he’ll ask me to go with him. It’s usually really intense and he can get pretty degrading but knows when to stop. “Pathetic. Try it again.” “What the hell are you doing? Was that supposed to hurt?” He knows what I can and can’t handle. Sometimes I impress him and he gets…. Yeah.
-He likes seeing me goof around with Trunks and finds the motherly aspect attractive. Sometimes refers to me as Trunk’s mom.
He makes me all silly and happy !!!!!!!!

body hcs that nobody asked for, I’m just articulating them so it’s easier for me to visualize my silly little scenarios
vanya: biiiig guy. 6’5 of well insulated muscle. thick thighssssssss tree trunk arms tits and belly. High cheekbones and the quintessential big ass nose. Used to keep his hair really neat but now it’s kind of shaggy because he’s too cheap to go to a barber and just cuts it himself. Dirty blonde. AUGHmy big man 💗💗💗
al: college quarterback after three years in a frat. Lean, strong, but a little soft around the edges. Ass is 10/10. Tan skin with freckles, still a bit of a baby face. Bottle blonde to fit in with his European family lol. His hair is a little floppy but with some gel it sits nice. He has a poppy tattooed on his inner wrist!
Gil: saddest most pathetic frail little man. Literally looks like he’s dying because he is! Silvery hair is kind of thin and lifeless these days, there’s not much warmth in his cheeks, and he’s constantly covered in bruises from falling or whacking himself into things by accident. Crooked nose from fighting so much. He’s too shaky to shave himself and Erzsi is the only person he trusts to pt a razor to his throat so if she’s not around he gets kind of scruffy. And fine I’ll say it he was in a Camp and has a tattoo to show for it.
Erzsi: r/fit lady… does CrossFit and jogs like 10 miles a day. Killer muscle definition and abs of steel. A bit lacking in the boob department but nobody’s perfect and Gil has always been an ass man so it’s okay. Gorgeous dark brown hair and a prominent nose. Sculpted cheekbones and thinner lips. All in all a pretty angular appearance that’s still distinctly feminine.
Katya: STRONG GIRL! FARM! She’s a lot of woman…. Yes she is tall. Yes she is strong. Yes she is fat. Hourglass figure with body for dayssssss. Her face is pretty round but she’s still got those high cheekbones and rosebud lips. Prominent nose but not like Ivan’s. She has nipple piercings! Her hair is a pretty silvery blonde and she keeps it short so she can just put it back with a bandana.
Mattie: Big guy. Think hockey player in hibernation. Im so tired of people twinkifying Matthew and I will not stand for it!!! Also a bottle blonde but more vigilant about his roots than Alfred. Also tan skin but not as warm as his brother. The wavy hair was a gift from his papa but his curl pattern has been fried by bleach over the last few decades. Blessed and cursed by hockey player ass
Ber: built for endurance! Strong and stocky, like he could chop up firewood like a breeze AND keep you warm at night. Second tallest nord!c. Not glaring but squinting 24/7 because he needs new glasses but he’s too cheap to buy them lol. Stick straight straw blonde hair that he can’t do much with besides brush back and pray it stays. Little rainbow tattoo behind his left ear. Keeps a neat beard in the winter.
Ti: hurhfhfjdkjfkdjfj plump. Like there’s no other way to put it the guy is just fat. Still very strong but you wouldn’t know it looking at him. Built like a moomintroll. Very proud of how he looks except that he’s got a round face and can’t grow a beard which makes him look like less of a threat like no motherfucker I’ll kill you!! Pretty blonde hair that can do this nice swoopy thing to stay out of his face. Tits >>>
Mads: triangle man!!! Broad shoulders, defined muscle, taper down into a small waist. Strong arms and legs. Freckles aaaaall over that really pop out when he gets some sun. Strawberry blonde hair that sticks straight up so he’s learned to embrace it. Nose is crooked from being punched in the face a few too many times. Sharp defined jaw so he doesn’t like to hide it with facial hair.
Lu: *deep breath* CHUBBY LUKAS SUPREMACY!!! Stop Kate Mossifying my boy he takes Thorazine and it made him fat. He’s on the indoorsy side so although he does exercise some he’s not as muscular as Mads, Ber, or Ti. Platinum blonde hair he straightens and pins back because otherwise the waves are just too much. He would have defined cheekbones and jaw if his face wasn’t chubby lol. Thin lips and a thin, sharp nose.
Eirí: scrawny lil kid. The shortest nord!c. Not much substance to him at all so he dresses in somewhat baggy clothes to make him look bigger. Silvery blonde hair that he straightens like his brother. Occasional issues with acne and miserable volcanic pimples so he’s got some ice pick scarring. Same sharp nose and thin lips as his brother.
Feliks: Skinny queen, fairly toned but generally model-type thin. Soft blonde hair around his shoulders. Prominent nose and thin lips. Scarred up a lot over the last millennia.
Vi: Also scrawny, but you can tell that he used to be strong.
Sorry ladies the klonopin is hitting hard I can’t finish the post

I want to know.. ... ur karamatsu thots
i love karamatsu a lot and i think it is a shame like. how hes been treated by fans over the years but also that people genuinely think hes cool
hes just like the rest of them hes literally just some guy hes so dude and like hes trying he tries so hard but hes just so very lame and pathetic and thats so funny to me
hes so like. interesting to think about because like. i feel like we as the audience still even after 3 seasons and a movie (hasnt seen hippopo or whatever movie yet) we still dont know much about karamatsu at least as much as we do the other 5. like the movie was ostensibly About him it was his memory world it was his regret he was pretty much the main character, but we barely saw him he barely grew as a character which i get is the point of a comedy show and its honestly impressive getting through an entire movie while moving absolutely nothing lol like we have no idea how karamatsu evolved from just a little guy to. That. (iguesscomingoutchangesamanlol)
they even mention it in pizza, they never have any idea what karamatsu is thinking and neither do we!! his genuine feelings are SO under lock and key most of the time so its really hard to get a gauge on him he grew up and built up cringe as fuck walls that have Lasted that he only lets down when he sees fit
that is one area he has grown though he is bringing it down more frequently n i really enjoy it like he lets it down a lot more through the seasons especially around choromatsu (suiriku underrated) like he tells him doing everything for everyone is hell he tells him about his crush and how hes worried about how todomatsus gonna be. and hes letting out his more negative feelings through it like how Low his tolerance for his brothers has gotten, on my rewatch of the show hes absolutely just stopped giving a fuck and its one of my favourite things he will just flat out be like i dont care, exclusivematsu is the best possible direction they couldve gone with him, his whole part in pizza where we Watch that wall come down, the bits in phantom stream where hes like jyushimatsu i do not see you. choromatsu i believe in you!! >;D and then he walks out the room like :| NBMVNC literally any time he interacts with osomatsu absolutely No respect
i feel like most of his popularity, at least in the early days idk i dont really interact w wider fandom now, came from him being a sad little wet dog of a man that was prime woobification real estate but i just really like when he gets mean cus he gets so backhanded about it too like hes soooo bitchy its so funny LIKE IN THE BARTENDER SKIT theyre like dude we didnt order these give us our drinks and he fucking tuts and says like okay fine in The most fruity way hes ever done anything and thats saying something hes literally so fucking funny
i do also enjoy that he was the only one able to make friends in s2 he was absolutely that biker gangs little purse dog they kept him around for laughs, the way hes so useless he physically cannot get a job.. lame little creature with gunk in his eyes
anyway yeah im not good at tying my ramblinig posts up in a neat little bow and i feel like i do have more to say like this isnt all my feelings on karama but i cant. think of anything else so I'll leave it at, all i know is if i was able to break through his first defensive layer of coolguy nonsense i absolutely would be his friend he is so fucking funny to me <3 mean bestie hours im holding him like this

ep49 (1/3): a shocking numbers of fans watched this scene where jgy cried a lot and fully swallowed his excuses. guys. guys.
Tumblr media
oh wwx is annoyed as hell that jgy is dodging responsibility for everything he's done when he, wwx, never once denied his actions and bore the full weight of them and then some
Tumblr media Tumblr media
more evidence for my 'jgy actively encourages lxc's crush even though he has no intention of ever reciprocating because it grants him power over him' hc!!!!!
Tumblr media
oh jeex lxc looks like shit. I mean I guess he's had a rough couple of days. look at those eyes bags
Tumblr media
lxc: I'm not your sworn brother anymore. jgy (realizing he's losing his grip on lxc): NOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭
okay to be fair I'm sure there is some genuine grief for losing the friendship and camaraderie of the one person who has always vouched for him, saved his life, supported him, etc. lxc was a wonderful friend and a powerful, steadfast ally. wasted on jgy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you can practically see the forehead vein popping here. I don't think an lxc who fully understands jgy would ever love him. if xiyao is happening in some fic, either jgy is lying or someone's being mischaracterized. not that social factors didn't play a role in the things jgy did, but if you ignore his sadistic and vengeful nature, his willingness to murder innocent people, his unrepentant manipulation and deceptive nature, you're losing a lot of his character. for him to be someone who doesn't hurt others, he'd have to be someone guaranteed safety and respect and a position from birth. but that's so antithetical to his role in canon it wouldn't be the same person anyway
Tumblr media
huh. why hasn't jgy tried to harras lwj more? I guess he got what he wanted and beyond lwj sealing himself, there's not much a reaction jgy can provoke
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WELL. pretty clear choices here. jgy you could have packed up and fled the country before trying to kill a bunch of people and kidnapping children
Tumblr media Tumblr media
lxc: why were you so cruel and murderous??? dude?? jgy: I HAD NO CHOICE BRO 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 you believe me right??? would it help if I did this 😭😭😭😭
compared to wwx's impassioned, rational, fair defenses of himself and the people he was trying to protect, this is so pathetic. wwx never denied what he did, never dodged responsibility. when he said he had no other choices, it was in defense of innocent people at risk of political persecution and mass murder, not in defense of killing people to maintain his own position, he apologized for the death of jxz and suffered his own death in retribution for even the best things he did
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YOU COULD HAVE LEFT!!!! or idk, face up to the consequences of your actions
Tumblr media
I am so so sorry to bring the marvel 'cinematic' universe into our beautiful liveblog today but this shot just screamed "Tony, you CHOSE to do that' to me
Tumblr media Tumblr media
of course he ~nobly~ doesn't deny it ONCE IT'S ALREADY COME TO LIGHT. but he denied up until the breaking point because he's a slippery eel and it's impossible to get him to face any consequences for his actions!!! if I was lxc I would be exasperated to death too
Tumblr media
NEAT FRAMING
Tumblr media
ohhh this flashback is so skin-crawling. I really love how deathly pale the robes and jgy's face are. the red of the wedding robes and the decorations are so ominous and omnipresent, like something horrifying about to happen, like something inescapable. the music really adds to the eeriness of the scene
Tumblr media
it always hurt so bad that qs was so excited for her wedding night. she was happy! she liked jgy a lot and always respected him and his mother! she was a good and kind and innocent person and she had no IDEA god I feel sick I hate him so much
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jgy really never spared a single thought to qs's well-being. it was all about him, and his horror, and his choices, and his position, and the injustices enacted on him. self-centered to the very end. of course he didn't think he had a choice. he would never choose against his own self-interest no matter how many people he hurt. god, qin su should have lived. her suicide was such bullshit
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh my god SUCH bullshit. 'uwu but I worked so hard!' okay yeah I get it's a precarious political situation and the issue isn't even your fault but DUDE. you're placing your own power and ambition higher in importance than this woman's entire life. and you MUST have known you would have murdered any child you two had.
Tumblr media
pretty sucky situation all around. shocking idea though. YOU COULD HAVE TOLD QIN SU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jgy truly goes through life as if it was a me-or-them battle for survival in every single situation. in his mind, whoever bore the burden here would be the one destroyed, and he never would choose his own destruction. and it does make sense based on his environment and upbringing. god, he's such a good villain. none of this at all excuses his actions ofc, but it's an extremely compelling and powerful motivator for a villain hell-bent on surviving, viewing every situation as battle to the death, and fully buying into being viewed as the victim of every scenario
another contrast to wwx! wwx hates being seen as someone who was hurt. he dislikes being viewed as weak or vulnerable in any way by his enemies (and often his allies), and the way he wins battle and arguments is though either his power or his own honesty. for someone who omits key information and lowkey manipulates many of his loved ones, his straightforward arguments are more often than not the complete truth
Tumblr media
in case we needed a reminder of his active sadism at work. who gaf about his dad but those poor women were treated as murder weapons and then mass murdered themselves
Tumblr media
oh I do not like this slap scene, and I'm glad lxc is horrified by it as well. the exposure of jgy's crimes has never retroactively justified the classism and oppression he fought against, nor does it grant permission to his social superiors to treat him like they're inherently better than him, such as with this slap

hiiii carly if it’s not weird to come in here, I would LOVE any extra details on marian you haven’t talked about (her Lore or history or her relationship with gale or whatever comes to mind) because she’s so NEAT. blorbo from your brain on my dash to me ❤️💕❤️
ME WHEN I LOVE U 💖💖💖💖💖💖
she is my wettest, most pathetic little girlie. she is SOOO unused to communicating. like at all. it isn't like she's being secretive -- it just never occurs to her to tell people things. (also she has crazy high charisma bc teehee but really that's just -- like she's so bad at expressing her emotions that she's hard to read. is she lying? you don't know!). anyway really the only way the party -- gale and others -- learn a SCRAP of information about her is when she like has a panic attack and the wormies so kindly feed them scraps of whatever it is that's upsetting her. whole party sitting around after she's gone to bed trying to piece together the latest scrap of Marian Lore from what they can remember.
kind of related but gale goes out of his way to take such good care of her. like it's a point of pride for him. his wife is a shaky little abused chihuahua but he treats her so well that she would never growl at you <3 and it especially starts with feeding her, like early act 1. she's soso skinny, she doesn't have an ounce of fat on her. she looks like she'd die if she missed a single meal. and he doesn't even think about it that hard, he just takes note of what she eats a lot of and makes extra, makes it more often, gives her extra in her bowl. and by act 3 she's nice n soft n healthy and there's color in her cheeks. she had one set of robes for her entire life and had to maintain them magically or wear dirty, torn, too-small clothing? hmmmm well. now she gets anything she so much as looks at too long in a shop window. and she doesn't expect this, of course. oh my god, she'd never consider asking for anything, ever. needing help is a failure state, don't you know? but only for her. it's okay if other people need help. but not her. but we know mister grand gestures over here is DOTING on her.
aaaaaaand her older sister is a self-taught bard and taught marian some music when she was, like, a very young child. and it's something that she'd completely forgotten about until gale died (lol) and she had to use that stupid flute to resurrect him. like, that night in camp she noodles around with the flute and manages to work out some old folk song, and she has no idea where it's from, but it makes her feel some type of way and makes her remember a feeling she can't even remember having felt before.

For Top 5, maybe Top 5 Forsaken (not counting Ishamael/Moridin), if youd like?
ooooh nice nice nice, okay, on it (and totally valid to exclude my main boy, I've been obvious enough about that one already)
1. Semirhage. As I said! Somewhat inexplicable but I think it’s about her sheer...cold, calculating ruthlessness? She knows what she wants and she will follow through with it. Of all the Forsaken she strikes me as the most...dispassionate, and while I love all of the other disasters who are just bickering among themselves all of the time I kind of love that for her. Just...the scene where we really first meet her where she’s just sort of...thinking to herself while distractedly torturing someone to the death in the background...guess I looked at that and was like “oh she’s neat.” Don’t look at that one too hard.
2. Moghedien. And at the other end of the scale...I love Moghedien I think first and foremost because of the fact that she’s...she’s not inept, is the thing. She’s perfectly good at her job, probably! It’s just that she ran into Nynaeve and made Nynaeve mad and that was a mistake. And then gets obsessed with Nynaeve, which is understandable but also a mistake. And it’s all downhill from there for her. Go girl give us nothing.
3. Graendal. I feel like my main thought on this is @highladyluck’s fault and it’s just “tits out for Graendal.” there’s some more coherent and thought out stuff inn there but that’s the first thing that surfaced and I’m so tempted to leave it there.
Thing is though: Graendal’s actually pretty legit. She does a lot, she’s pretty effective at what she does, and she survives for a solid span of time past many other Forsaken dying or failing catastrophically. I feel like she deserves credit for that alone. Also she’s just so clearly living her best life and you have to respect that.
4. Asmodean. We Were Robbed with Asmodean but I nonetheless go on carrying a torch for this thoroughly pathetic man. He tried. And he did not have a good time. But I think one of my favorite things about Asmodean honestly is the fact that he doesn’t actually seem all that attached to being evil. Like, he’s sure upset about losing his protection from going insane! but he’s very clearly not an ideologue about it. For someone who pledged his soul to the Dark One for eternity he seems to be not very dedicated to the whole thing. Which is not to say he’s dedicated to being good, either. I think he just is not particularly interested in...morals.
Also just. I’m a sucker for a (former?) evil character just kind of. miserably stuck going along with the side of good because they don’t have other options. particularly when they’re only sorry in the loosest possible sense for what they did. I don’t get the impression Asmodean feels bad about the atrocities, or anything. and I kind of love that.
5. This last one I'm sort of wobbly on. Lanfear, when she's really leaning into her ruthless power trip self over her jealous man-focused self; I find Demandred sort of hilarious but mostly narratively speaking and I don't think it's entirely intentional, I feel like Mazrim Taim is full of missed opportunities but you really do have to give him kudos for managing to claw his way into the ranks of the rest of these elitist weirdos. Mesaana gets points for effectiveness but didn't get much in the way of personality. I kind of want to say Lanfear just so I can have this top five be entirely "women + Asmodean" because that just sort of entertains me.
I guess honorable mention to Aran'gar who is awful in both concept and execution but is having the time of her life, you have to give her that, and I respect someone who is having that much fun. do what you love and never work a day, etc.

whats your opinion on the pink haired characters in jojo?
Okay so. I haven't watched the new batch of Stone Ocean yet (waiting for a friend to catch up and then we're going to watch them weekly to replicate JoJo Fridays :]) and I'm an anime-only, but just based off my impressions, Hot Pants and Yasuho are lovely and deserve the world, and Anasui is terrible but also pathetic and honestly? I kind of love that
Anyhow. For the ones I do know.
Reimi is a sweetheart and she deserved more screentime. That moment at the end of DIU where she basically sends Kira to Hand Hell? Excellent. Immaculate. I also really wish they would've explored her relationship with Rohan more, especially since she knew him as a kid (and seemingly before he became Like That). I've seen people toss around some headcanons about her being friends with Tomoko/Aya/Shinobu before her death. Idk she had a lot of missed potential (like most JoJo women :/), but I do like her a lot!!
Trish <333 Best girl pre-SO. Pinkest girl ever. The only woman in Italy. Again, I wish she had more development in the series proper, and I don't like that she's pretty much a Macguffin for half of VA, but I love that she eventually becomes an active player and serves as a sort of contrast against the rest of the Fucked Up main cast. At the end of the day, she's not like the rest of them - she's a normal girl that's been thrust into this situation - but the fact that she hasn't been hardened and disillusioned through years of violence is a strength, and that's sick as hell. I think she's an interesting parallel to Giorno, in that he actively shuts out "soft" things (ie emotions and feelings) with this stoic, somewhat distant demeanor - and so does Trish, at first. And while Giorno doesn't really grow much as a character in VA (which is. a topic for another day), Trish does; it's once she puts away the aloof primadonna façade and embraces the things that make her her that she truly becomes strong. Anyhow I think that's neat.
Doppio is. Fine. I guess. Idk I don't think about him much, he's funny and fucked up and the fight with him and Risotto was sick. The fandom does him really dirty. I just. Uh. Have no deep thoughts about him. Shrugs.
Diavolo I do have some thoughts on. People have written thought-provoking essays about morality in VA that convey my thoughts better than I could, but to me, unlike other JoJo villain fates, nothing about his felt cathartic? And that's because imo, he's not a very well-developed or good villain. Obviously some of this just comes by virtue of him not existing on screen until the final act (and then spending most of that as a spirit in other people's bodies), but like. he never feels truly threatening, because all his Evil Acts are pretty much off-screen, or committed while he's nothing more than a shrouded, vague concept. Like, we're told he sells drugs, and That's The Worst Thing Ever because Giorno and Bucciarati think it is. He tortures and kills Sorbet and Gelato, but... the main cast does the same thing. Constantly. Like, I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that Giorno and Narancia have some of the highest kill counts in the series (for protagonists at least), Mista is seemingly well-practiced in some fucked up torture methods, and. I mean. Look at what Giorno does to Diavolo at the end of the part. Diavolo tries to kill Trish, donuts Bucciarati, and kills Abbacchio while he's not even visible and we don't have any tangible character to tie the concept of the Boss to, and Narancia's death happens completely off-screen, making him feel less involved with these events, I guess - especially compared to, say, Dio making Jonathan's life hell and personally gutting Kakyoin, Kira carrying around the evidence of his murders and killing Shigechi/nearly killing Okuyasu on-screen, etc. Resisting my urge to rant about Giorno again, but I think part of it has to do with the fact that the protagonist he's up against has had very little struggle against any opponent, and the suspension of disbelief isn't enough for me to think that, hm, maybe Giorno won't kick his ass immediately (which. he does.) It just makes his fate feel disproportionate and his role as a villain kinda ineffective. Idk. That probably makes no sense but I have a lot of. Thoughts. About VA's writing. And Diavolo is a major part of it.
