♡ Fandom Faves Tag ♡
Tag 1-3 (or as many as you want) of your favorite creators (writers, artists, outstanding members of the community etc) and link your favorite creation if you can.
Thank you for the tags @midnight-moth and @coffeeghoulie! I'm gonna challenge myself to not wax poetic and keep these extra short and sweet. That way it's not as intimidating for others to participate (hope that makes sense). Oh and I'm not putting a "keep reading."
Witness my faves (ง •̀_•́)ง
@midnight-moth (who started this tag game ♡) drew THE Phantom art of all time and I recently went absolutely feral for:
Buried in Treasure - Dew x Phantom - E, 3.6k
When his eyes roll forward again, he notices more than just the same riff playing over and over. He notices Phantom’s grip on his hand simultaneously go still and tight. He notices the rosy flush on his cheeks, and the tent in his pants that he tries to conceal with the hand holding the phone.
It takes more than a few seconds for all of the dots to connect and when the thought is fully formed, Dew grabs the phone and launches it to the end of the bed.
@ramblingoak hey why is there an angel in the satanic band fandom? I created this whole blog so I could shout about:
The Cardinal's Bride - Cardinal Copia x F!Reader - E, 91k (wip)
A Romantic Adventure in the Old West: After being forced into a marriage with Mr. Saltarian by your father you are sent west to his estate in Nevada. Along the way you end up meeting one of the cowboys you have always fantasized about…
@conjuring-ghouls finds the perfect moments and turns them into the loveliest gifs. On top of that she is endlessly kind and supportive. Look at these!!!
@coffeeghoulie is writing the Aeon x Swiss hurt/comfort fic of y'all's dreams and I got to do my first "official" art collab for it yay!!
Eternal Heatstroke - Aeon x Swiss - M, 17k (wip)
For once in their life, Aeon feels lucky. Whoever's opened this portal, whoever's summoning ghouls Up Top, specifically wants a quintessence ghoul.
They may not be the biggest or strongest quintessence ghoul, far from it, but they'll do anything this summoner wants if it means they get to live.
Or: being Topside is a drastic change from the life Aeon's used to.
@writingjourney truly the kindest soul and an absurdly talented writer. I screenshot Ibi's tags on my posts all the time because they cheer me up so much 🥹🥹
Friday Nights (series) - Papas x GN!Reader - E, 40k
“But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together.”
― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla
Each of these stories features a vampire papa and a gender neutral reader.
@anamelessfool writes some of the best world building and characterizations that I have ever read in fanfiction AND she's a fantastic artist.
Violence & Gentleness - Primo x OC - E, 50k (wip)
You made me forget myself...I thought I was someone else, someone good...
LATE OCTOBER 1979
Primo has his work cut out for him as the bodyguard of the beautiful and fearsome Mater Emerita Jocasta.
As mystery after mystery unfolds, it becomes harder to remain a honest man in this den of thieves called the Ministry.
@foxybouquet makes wonderful art and her colloquial Italian posts are an incredible resource for the fandom.
@angellayercake has angel in her username for a reason tbh. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I learned important things about myself and my love language whilst reading the brilliant:
Banchetto - Terzo x F!Reader - E, 22k (wip)
Papa Emeritus III is struggling to adapt to his life after the Ghost project but perhaps some good homemade Italian food will do the trick.
(I'm cutting myself off here because I could do this all day. I will probably be making another list in the near future because I love and admire so many of you. 😅)
No pressure at all but I would really love to see this tag game keep going! If you're reading this please consider adding some of your personal favorites to the list! This fandom could use some positivity right about now ♡
#i was very calculated with who i tagged btw#i am trusting some of you to tag who i didn't 😅#tag game

What's up! Umm, I got a request another actually ideas be popping in my head. For ghost x reader, where the reader is a world-class boxer and is like undefeated like the reader is pretty much female Mike tyson (BTW if you don't know who Mike tyson is he was pretty much a scary boxer who knocked people ass out , people were scared of him and he bit someone ear off ) and reader is like so deadly in the ring she almost kills someone or gets called this pretty sick nickname and everyone on the task force is afraid of her but ghost being ghost doubts the readers skills and challenges the reader in the ring and gets his ass beaten badly like a REALLY bad broken nose, jaw or like gets his ass knocked out. Just a thought: I hope this is acceptable 🙏. I love your writing.
Sunday Punch | Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley x Female Reader
Chapter summary: You’re a lethal fighter in the ring, and a seasoned soldier in the field. The 141 get front tickets to your underground double life.
Warnings: Fights, bodily injury, blood, language
Tags: @glitteryeggalmondherring @fiveshelmet @madamemelancholysstuff @myguiltypleasure @pukbadger
A/N: Ty for sending in another amazing request! you keep my brain happy lolll 🩷🩷 I hope you enjoy! (It’s a long one i’m sorry LMAO i got carried away)
P.S: Sunday Punch is just another way of saying KnockOut.
It’s no secret that you’re a talented soldier. With every move you make in the field, you showcases an unrivaled combination of skill, agility, and raw power. You holdheld quite the reputation around base, especially for your skills in combat.
Most of the younger cadets at the academy were also hesitant to be paired up with you, mostly afraid to get knocked out.
Whether it's engaging in close-quarters combat or taking down enemies from a distance, your every move is calculated and executed to your advantage. Your training has molded you into a formidable force, capable of adapting to any situation with ease.
But you haven’t always been like that. Going through the ranks before and during your recruitment to the 141, you were pushed beyond your boundaries and worked through.
Now you’re lethal, and one of the military’s strongest assets. But like anyone else, you have hobbies. Dangerous hobbies.
You step into the dimly lit underground arena, the air thick with anticipation. It's early, and the entire space lies empty, granting you a moment of solitude before the chaos ensues. The only sound is the distant hum of the overhead lights, casting an ethereal glow over the barren ring.
With a focused gaze, you tighten your fists and step forward. Your first strike connects with the bag, and the impact reverberates through the arena like a gunshot. The sound echoes off the empty seats, filling the air with the thunderous force of your blows.
The scent of sweat and anticipation lingers in the air, fueling your senses. Your muscles ripple beneath your skin, coiled and ready for action.
Your teammates on the 141 know you lead a mysterious life when you’re not at work, but have never seen you in action. You decided that it was time to let your most trusted friends in on your endeavors. Mostly because Soap was dying to see you in the ring.
The Captain isn’t very fond of you putting yourself into dangerous situations outside of your already severely dangerous occupation. He’s like a father to you, but he also understands and respects your talent.
Now as you sit in your dimly lit dressing room, the anticipation of the upcoming underground boxing match courses through your veins. The air is thick with the scent of sweat and determination, mingling with the faint echo of distant cheers from the eager crowd.
The mirror before you reflects the flickering glow of a single bare lightbulb dangling from above, casting shadows across your face.
You take a deep breath, the adrenaline surging within you as you run your fingers through your hair. The rhythmic motion of braiding your hair has always been a ritual before each fight or mission, a way to focus your mind and steel your resolve.
“Quite a crowd tonight, Bullet.” A voice breaks the silence. You look up to see Anchor, the man who arranges the fights. You’ve been fighting in his arena for 3 years.
He’s wearing his signature navy blue suit, his hair gelled and a championship ring on each finger. He throws you an envelope and you catch it on your bare lap. “Three thousand. Five when you win.” He winks, leaning against the doorframe. “You’ve got Tank Gomez tonight.”
You open the envelope and glance at its contents, the crisp bills tucked neatly within. Anchors the only other person you’ve ever trusted besides your team. He trained your mind to always be lethal and ready, coming from a fighting background himself. “Copy that.” You say, a smile at your lips.
“When do you deploy?” He asks, crossing his arms. “People don’t seem to care about me when ‘Bullet’ isn’t in the ring.” You shake your head at the nickname you’ve acquired.
“3 days. So don’t scuff me up too bad.” You tease, getting up to put on your robe.
The crowd awaits, hungry for the spectacle that is about to unfold. But it's more than just a performance; it's a test of your mettle, an opportunity to showcase your mastery of the craft.
With Anchor's support, you step forward, ready to embrace the chaos and reclaim your rightful place in the ring. The anticipation builds, the sound of the crowd growing louder as you make your way through the corridors.
As you step into the ring, the air crackles with anticipation. The crowd roars, their excitement reverberating through the arena. Across from you stands your opponent, a formidable figure, a big man whose sheer size alone could intimidate the faint of heart.
As you take your stance, a flicker of movement catches your attention from the corner seats. Soap, Price, Gaz, and Ghost, are there, watching you intently. Soap sends an energetic thumbs up, cheering you on.
Yet, as you meet Ghost's gaze, you notice his eyes. The usual seriousness is replaced by a coldness, an intensity that makes it unreadable. He looks away. Ghost has never been one to support your hobbies, but watches along anyway.
The referee's voice cuts through the tension, signaling the start of the fight. The world around you narrows, and everything else becomes a blur. It's just you, your opponent, and the dance of combat.
You move with purpose, your training guiding your every step. Dodging, weaving, and countering, you navigate the ring with grace and precision. Each blow is calculated, your fists finding their mark with practiced accuracy.
The big man lunges forward, his power evident in every punch he throws. But you refuse to be overwhelmed. Your speed and agility become your greatest assets, allowing you to evade his strikes while retaliating with your own punishing combinations.
“Argh!” One of his punches land, striking you right under the eye. You curse knowing the bruise it’s gonna leave later. You feel a little blood drop down your cheek. Recovering quickly you bounce back.
With each passing second, the intensity of the fight grows, both you and your opponent refusing to back down. Sweat beads on your brow, mingling with the taste of blood and adrenaline on your lips. The rounds blur together, time becoming inconsequential as you immerse yourself in the battle, fully present, fully alive.
As the final bell sounds, the crowd erupts in applause. The fight is over, your opponent is out cold, and you've given it your all. You stand tall in the center of the ring, catching your breath, as the referee holds your victory arm up high.
After a grueling workout, you find yourself in the open gym on the military base, sweat glistening on your brow and a towel draped around your neck. Your bruised knuckles draw your attention, serving as a reminder of the battle you fought in the ring just a week ago.
As you examine them, lost in your thoughts, the door swings open, and Ghost walks in, his presence commanding attention. “Hey.” You say to him, with a nod.
“You’re here.” He replies, monotonously. His normal gear is now replaced with gym shorts and T-shirt. He trades out the full skull mask with a black balaclava.
“Why wouldn’t I be.” You chuckle, watching as he sets down a weight. You would normally work out with Ghost as you’ve got sort of a friendship that’s built over the years.
Today he seems awfully distant. You feel the tension growing between the two of you. You knew he was never a fan of you fighting for show, he was the first person you told about your endeavors, and he wasn’t too thrilled.
Ghost's eyes briefly meet yours before shifting away. You lean against the hanging punching bag, and cross your arms. It's evident that he's harboring a deep anger, his normally calm demeanor shattered by the concern that has festered within him.
“It was nice of you to come out the other night.” You say, testing the waters. His head turns in your direction as he takes you in. His gaze stops at your knuckles.
“You’re gonna get yourself killed.” He says, looking right through you. You scoff a dry laugh.
“Haven’t yet.”
“You think this is funny?”
Ghost's voice cuts through the air, his anger palpable. You straighten up, meeting his gaze head-on, refusing to back down. The tension between you escalates, the air crackling with unresolved emotions.
"No, Simon, I don't think it's funny," you reply, your voice tinged with a mix of frustration and defiance. "But I also don't think it's fair for you to dictate what I can or cannot do. This is my choice, my path."
Ghost's eyes narrow, his anger simmering beneath the surface. "Your choice? This isn't just about you, Y/N," he snaps, his voice biting with a sense of betrayal. "Every time you step into that ring, you're not just risking your own life; you're risking everything."
His words hit you hard, the weight of his disappointment bearing down on you. You take a deep breath, struggling to find the right words to convey your own perspective.
“I've trained for this, I know what I'm doing."
Ghost scoffs, his disbelief evident in his tone. "Trained? You think a few months of underground fights make you invincible?”
“Fuck you. You never fucking supported anything I do!” You throw your towel down, needing to get away from him and get some fresh air into your system.
An hour later, Price calls you and the guys for the group training session. He divides the team into pairs for sparring, and to your surprise (or perhaps fate's twisted sense of humor), you find yourself standing face to face with Ghost.
The tension between you is palpable, the lingering anger and hurt casting a shadow over the training session.
Price's voice breaks through the silence, setting the rules and reminding everyone to "play nice." But deep down, you know that the emotions swirling inside you threaten to break through the facade of control.
The bell rings, signaling the start of the spar, and you and Ghost cautiously circle each other. As the seconds tick by, you feel the anger inside you bubbling to the surface, fueling your movements.
His movements are measured, his punches and kicks executed with surgical precision. He weaves in and out, his strikes landing with pinpoint accuracy, but you matche him blow for blow, refusing to back down.
The sound of fists meeting flesh echo through the training room as your strikes collided. The intensity of their spar escalates with each passing second, the energy between you crackling like electricity.
Without warning, you lash out, throwing a punch fueled by a mix of frustration and pent-up emotions. Your fist connects with Ghost's nose, the impact resounding through the air. Time seems to slow down for a moment as he staggers back, blood staining his balaclava from his broken nose.
The realization of what you've done hits you like a punch to the gut. The anger dissipates, replaced by a flood of guilt and regret. His eyes meet yours, raging and stone cold. “Fucking hell. You just don’t know when to stop do you?”.” He curses, his shoulder hitting yours as he leaves the mat.
“Si-wait!” You call after him, but before you can say anymore Price stops you.
Enough," Price's voice cuts through the air, firm and resolute. His gaze shifts between you and Ghost, assessing the situation. "Take a breather, both of you."
He gestures towards the side of the mat, signaling for you to step aside. You comply, your mind filled with a whirlwind of emotions.
A/N: That’s all I got for now or else imma be writing like 10,000 words just on this LMAO

Crumbs Asks:
You're going grocery shopping and the Ewanverse lads are tagging along. Describe the experience - who's most helpful, who pushes the trolley, who's getting lost down the freezer aisle, etc.
a/n this is a really interesting question!! I’m going to answer it though how the experience would be with them indiviually than them all together with me. that would just be chaos.
modern au for all charact btw lol
Pls send more asks like this, I love making headcannons hehe
Likes and reblogs are appreciated peeps
Without further ado
Aemond Targaryen- I feel like aemond would kinda just let you do your thing and just push the trolley, helping you if you need it. he just wants you to get what you need done. he isn’t horrible company though, he’s just kinda there. he wouldn’t get distracted.
Billy Taylor- Billy is an S tier person to tagalong with you shopping. extremely helpful, pushes the trolley, helps you reach for stuff. i mean he is a bell boy and customer service is the main part of his job. i personally think his love langauge is acts of service and gift giving but that non applicale so he fully enjoy just helping you. it’s safe to say he won’t be distracted as he’s just giving you all his help,
Michael Gavey - he would be the most help with math. he would be comparing prices on name brand and knockoff finding the best price. he would also be the best while shopping to tell you how much you’ve spent. pretty much a human calculator.
Osferth- pretty much like billy taylor, an amazing person to tagalong with you. also great company. i will say he would get distracted in the lingere and the sexual wellness section (we literally have a section at walmart that has different vibrators but in order to get one you have to ask for assitance since it’s locked up) looking at different toys, thinking very unholy thoughts because that boy is kinky
Billy Washington - he wouldn’t mind going if it meant spending time with you but he wouldn’t choose to go. mainly because he’s jobless and doesn’t have the money to spend so why would he go to the store. when he does come with you, he’s not the worst company he kinda just tags along behind you like a puppy.
Tom Bennett - he’s would be great company but he is a little shit (affectionately). he would be distracting you to the point you end of having to go back afterwards because he made you forget some items. he has you push the trolley but that’s because he wants to have his arm around your waist or shoulder. of course sarcastic comments but thats just Tom lol.
Genyen- He wouldn’t be horrible to bring with you, like he’d be helpful but youre bound to have shit you didn’t purchase in your shopping bags at the end. Bro the whole time is just stealing shit and trying to hide it. that’s all if he isn’t already banned from the store.
Ettore- his is the worst to bring along. Ettore should not be allowed to be in society. makes you push the trolley so he can look at your ass from behind, makes you grab items you cant reach so he can see your shirt ride up, touches you innapropiately.
the only character not here is Abraham because i honestly don’t even know.

I saw this post going around and got really curious as to how OP came up with their numbers because I could not replicate them at all.
I was going to reply directly but it was getting very very long and I didn’t want to wade onto someone’s post with a bunch of my own stats bc it seemed rude, so I’m putting my response here.
I’m going to preface this by saying that I’m fully in the camp of “write because you like writing, not for an audience response” because if you don’t like the process of writing, there is no level of audience response that will make writing worth it. But. I’ve seen a lot of folks agonize over Ao3 stats and get stuck in the weeds on Ratios™. And I think there are a few really common misconceptions around what these numbers mean.
The rest of this is going to be under a readmore to spare y’all but basically it’s a breakdown of trying to calculate my own percentages like the OP in the original post and then dialing down into why hits != readers.
Here’s the stats from one of my fics as of today, May 1st 2023. I am by no means a prolific or widely known fic writer - I happen to be in a big fandom and writing for for the main pairing in that fandom.
completed multi chapter fic, rated Mature:
So this one has three chapters, 2736 hits, 436 kudos, and 146 comments. Kudos divided by hits is 16%.
“Oh no!” I might say, seeing this. “Only sixteen percent of people liked my fic enough to leave a kudos? Either my stuff is shit, or fic-readers are a bunch of lazy fucks who don’t appreciate the work I’ve put into this. Either way, I’m mad now!”
But (and I say this with a lot of love in my heart, I promise) that’s silly. Not just for the philosophical reasons of writing what makes you happy and not caring about the response. It’s silly because it’s wrong.
On a multi-chapter fic, each person who finishes it is responsible for at least 3 hits but can only leave 1 kudos. Dividing the total hits by 3 gives you 912 hits. So, once you’ve corrected for number of chapters, the percent of people who have hit kudos is 47%.
“Holy shit!” writer-me says, “I’ve published original fiction in my university newspaper, original fiction that I poured my heart and soul into btw, and if approximately half of the people who read it sent me a little heart emoji, I would have died and gone to heaven. Fic readers are the Nicest, Most Generous, and Most Beautiful readers on the planet and I am so grateful to be in this community with them.”
But! 47% is still wrong. Here’s why.
Hits != Readers
I don’t how other people do this, but my process of reading a fic is often like this (each step is one hit):
open link from someone else's rec, try to click "mark for later"
realize I'm logged out. sign in to Ao3, go back to fic and click "mark for later"
come back to read fic, generating at least one hit per chapter
open a second tab so that I can write a comment as I go (again, generating at least one hit per chapter)
finish fic, create bookmark, and then navigate back to fic to mark it as read so it's taken off my marked for later page
if I really liked the fic, I'll end up opening it back up in a tag many times so I can rec it to people by sending them the link
if I really really liked the fic, I'll come back and read it again (this is doubly true for explicit fic, btw.)
I think I’m on the high end of generating hits, but it only takes a few of me to really dial up that hit counter. And most people are going to do one or two of these things - I’d argue that it’s pretty rare for someone to leave just one hit on a fic unless they nope out of it in the middle.
Formula for calculating number of readers from number of hits:
There isn’t one. And it would take a much better mathematician than me to make one. Because this is way more complicated than dividing by chapters. Most readers leave more than one hit - especially if they like the fic a lot. Short fics and explicit fics are more likely to be read multiple times.
“But what if I crave validation?” writer-me complains, irritated with math-me for not downloading statistics software, shoving a million Ao3 fics into it, and producing some kind of bullshit linear regression. “What if I constantly see people with higher kudos/hits ratios than me? This is all very optimistic but it really doesn’t jive with my deep seated belief that everyone secretly hates me all the time and they’re too nice to tell me about it. Do they hate me? They probably hate me, right? Tell me if you hate me.”
To which I say, listen very closely, writer-me. You can either decide that AO3 stats mean something and lose your damn mind deciphering what they mean, or you can be like that kid who got an avocado for christmas and say “it’s a avocado comment!! Thanks!! :D”
And that kid seemed pretty happy.

hi!! very excited about your next batch! but i was wondering if you ever think of posting some of the (wonderful) female!mav scenes you wrote (the question mark on my computer decided to stop working but this is indeed a question)
have a great weekend!!
yeah sure! again— this isn’t finished and never will be finished, I posted the reasons below. But here are a bunch of snippets from the fem!mav/lesbian charliemav AU from this summer. Would love to hear your thoughts, because politically it gave me some pause! lol.
1. On how mav survives (the central motif of the one-shot is Mav cutting her hair with scissors which is why the emphasis here)
2. On ice (straight icemav will never work because fundamentally ice is a misogynistic cunt)
3. on sex with girly girls (one of life’s greatest pleasures)
ehhh you get the picture of what’s under the cut
4. on charliemav
5. on charlie
7. The end (post Layton mission [mav proving herself by saving ice’s life] and the end of TG86, Mav gearing up to cut her hair again in Charlie’s house)
and here, copy-pasted, were the tags i planned to affix to the charliemav one-shot, which I think explain also why I stopped writing it—maverick is insanely out of character here!
“some discussion of issues that would affect a female pilot in the 1980s in this one: SA, sexism, etc. u have been warned / i would love to talk to anyone about the politics of this one cause hoo boy i had to think about it / it’s a little personal to me too / i wouldn’t necessarily say i struggle with my gender identity but i do have a really complicated relationship with it / i think this mav is incredibly out of character / it turns out mav’s thoughtless overperformance of masculinity is so ingrained into his character that / if you make it intentional he/she turns into an entirely different character. / i often struggle with writing maverick way way too bitter (there’s something very gentle about tgm mav I struggle replicating) / & this is a VERY bitter & cynical & calculating mav as well. she has to be. But i fear i lose some of mav’s original character in the cynicism. 🤷🏽♀️ / that’s why i struggle writing AUs—you lose so much of the original characters who are DEFINED by the stories they’re from / if that makes sense. / i think a female maverick isn’t maverick. / you might as well be writing original fiction at that point. / this 1 shot is pretty much just original fiction. / idk would love to hear ppls thoughts on the fandom philosophy behind AUs / something i would love to think about more / top gun fanfiction / charlotte charlie Blackwood / pete maverick mitchell / Tom iceman kazansky/ nick goose bradshaw / genderbent top gun / charliemav / in this universe mav and Charlie break up and mav gets back together with Penny according to the tgm timeline btw / TGM mav might as well be a lesbian like nothing really has to change in the script at all. / post 2010 tom cruise just gives lesbian. no change necessary / soundtrack for this one is ‘I have a woman inside my soul’ by yoko ono”
I also stopped writing this one because I could not for the life of me figure out how to write goose, canonically a sexist just like mav and ice. made things difficult and a little awkward
#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#charlotte charlie blackwood#top gun#asks#oh boy lesbian charliemav though. whoa. 🥰#would’ve been great if I could’ve pulled it off 🥲#basically the plot of this one was maverick dealing first & foremost with her femininity#she’s not trans BUT she hates womanhood. if that makes sense. because womanhood makes people discount her#as a pilot in the manly manly naval aviator program.#her womanhood functions the same as ‘fatherly dishonor’ in the original movie. makes people discount her/him as a pilot.#so she toxically replicates the behaviors of the men around her to make her less attractive to them and less of a target#but then with the Layton mission she proves herself#and actually bests iceman (who is super butthurt about it bc woman beat him but they maintain respect)#and Charlie encourages mav to start growing her hair out etc. engaging more with her femininity now she’s proven herself.#politically a little weird!#not butch by choice i guess? which felt anachronistic if that makes sense#but fun nonetheless#charliemav#I have never seen GI Jane but this seems a lot like that based on my limited knowledge of it tbh#think i relate to mav too much in this one.#I’d like to be taken seriously as a Writer not a woman writer. so i write about men to be taken seriously as a Writer not as a woman writer#feels a lot like mav in this one

new ask from : dizzy anon ! xe says...
good evening, america. i,, have come with not a fictional story but something very much real! (also, i love your reviews sm. i actually am writing the first 'episode' of the compilation stories! but not patience and grace yet. i like to finish something for the most part even if i'll release it in parts, so it'll be a while,,, i can tag you in it in the future hehe ^^)
do you get that feeling when you feel really smart when you get something? i don't know about you, but i seriously love it- like i figured out equations for shit like voltage, current, and resistance in my robotics exam (that i didn't study for and didn't take the first time). even with a calculator, it was noon and i was exhausted beyond belief, like- ?????? HOW the fuck did i do that.
feeling smart is everything to me, even tho i'm a silly little dude who likes to partake in silly little activities. this is why i like making my lore make sense by working on every nook and cranny, it makes me feel intelligent /j as if di ako bobo (affectionate) LMFAOOOO
another thing btw, nag-choir kami ng gregorian chant para sa music, at tangina napasigaw lahat ng mga boys nung natapos HAHAHAHA 😭😭 ako din naman. like sumakit paa ako amputa, napa-omsim sa inisip na 'deserve ko kumain'. imagine dalawang PT exam tas nag dalawang written kasi nag-absent buong week last week. then i had like six or five exams the day before 💪💪
hopefully your week's been good!! in my timezone, we're abt to head into the weekend and i hope to finish a powerpoint before 12am ^^ reemmber to drink water and/or treat yrself in any way.

(Re those tags on how Shauna would feel about cutting Jackie up)
I think if she Had to do it it would be like Javi and she'd cover her face. When "Jackie" takes that strip off her own arm Shauna does not like that, so it definitely leans more in the "oh no she's really dead" territory.
HOWEVER
I do think that Shauna would sneak some part to keep with her, like a finger or smth. She is unhinged, she's gonna want to keep something of Jackie around. Maybe in that self-flagellation tendency that she has to remind herself that Jackie is dead, or as an anchor to sort of conjure Jackie's ghost/image with as a coping mechanism.
I'm not sure what they did with Javi's head at the butcher stand, but if they'd save it to bury/burn later, Shauna would have a field day if the same happened with Jackie's
in my mind there are two extremes of deranged concerning this scenario.
one. she is angry at jackie for going outside and dying she is angry at herself for making her go outside and die so she goes absolutely completely to town with it. once she starts, she gets very enthusiastic and violent with jackie's body. like it's a beating bag (but for cutting. chopping actually? chopping bag? it's still edible in the end dw. i think making grinded meat for like burgers would actually be more efficient. you can use organs and cartilage and all that stuff to increase the volume and make it tastier too. jackieburgers yum yum) for her pent up emotions.
two. she completely breaks down. like, the morning she found her dead type of breakdown. because i feel like as much as she liked javi and not being forced to treat people like meat in general, doing that to your dead lifelong best friend (who you are in love with) is... something different. the way it happened in canon, it was an emotional act. the first bite taken specifically by shauna (the ear) extremely intimate, even. placing her on that cold table after coming to a calculated decision would take that personal aspect ("she wants us to", like she is a living person, their friend, consenting for their, her friends', sake, consciously doing them a favor) away. it could be harder for shauna because it would place her in a position where she wouldn't be able to romanticize it.
her taking jackie's cut off head (and MAKING OUT WITH IT haha jk hahahaha. haha. ..) fits into both of these btw because hell yeah THIS GIRL IS INSANE!! LOVE THAT FOR HER!!!!
but that finger would survive a day tops cuz shauna is gay + hungry + teenage girl + gay and she would snack on it like it's a mini carrot
#shauna shipman#jackie taylor#jackieshauna#jumping up and down i love thinking about this thank you for giving me an excuse to do it publicly#yellowjackets

*appears*
(imagine that one random time-lord in The Autons, floating mid-air)
Greetings once again,
Some more questions for you, because THOSCHEI, THOSCHEI, THOSCH-…..
Prepare yourself for a barrage of questions! (No pressure ofc)
Commencing in three, two, one..
*explosion*
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17
21 - Headcanons for your favourite ainley pairing
24 – gimme more info about the thoschei fan incarnations that occasionally pop up on your feeds. It is vital information!!!
*looks around at the impact caused by the questions*
Whoops
Have a good day/week! :)
*disappears*
SO IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG, THAT TIMELORD... That makes sense! Thank you so much for all the quest- (loud explosion) AAAAH!
(sooo prepare for a very long post 🤣)
1. How did you get into thoschei?
(gets out from under the table) Uhhh has the noise stopped? Yea. Okay. So it all started when I heard a rhythm of four beats?? And then I think my brain got infected. All I could think about is some sad pathetic aliens hugging each other and I guess one was dead and??? then he wasn't? Yeah so I saw tensimm and I got obsessed. That was, if my calculations are correct, about 8 years ago.
2. What is your favourite thoschei flavour?
At the moment it's fiveainley! Or sevencrispy...
3. What is, in your opinion, the most toxic thoschei dynamic?
Why did I even make this question. All of them there's no salvaging the toxicity. Uhh imma go with tensimm or spydoc though
5. Any fan content recommendations?
Honestly THBU it's just. Sublime. Okay so I might have been about to cry just one chapter in? Yeah??
Also Please Attend Carefully if you want podcasts abt the Master because who doesn't.
Now, that's all sfw but on the spicy smut side, here's a fiveainley fic that plays with hypnosis. I found it interesting how the author wrote it in first person, and their Ainley voice is just fantastic. Make sure to read the tags first though!
Do also check the ppl I reblog from's profiles some of them have AO3 accts I plan on munching on when I can!
8. Favourite thoschei story?
Honestly the Master audio atm. Or the Five Doctors cuz it's really funny to see Ainley TRY... just really try... Btw 1st Doctor x Ainley!Master when
Ngl I have to rewatch all the nuwho episodes w the master on it so my thoughts might change. These two stories are consuming my brain rn
9. Favourite thing they have said canonically to each other?
"Wonder what I'd be without you"
"Yeah."
And this
11. Song that reminds me of them?
I want to make an animatic with this so badly
12. Any thoschei headcanons?
My most heartfelt headcanon for them is this if it even counts as one 🤔
17. What's an underrated thoschei pairing?
SIXAINLEY FFS SIXAINLEY IS SO UNDERRATED. More of them pls...
21. Headcanons for your favourite Ainley pairing
No I'm not picking just one >:0
Fiveainley:
-In my head the Master contacted Fivey after the whole cheetah stuff in hopes he could help him. Not talking abt how good or bad that went but Fivey can't remember anyways.
-The Master loves the smell of Fivey's sweaters. Anytime he's entered his TARDIS he's stolen a few. Fivey still doesn't know where they went.
-Oh it's definitely Ainley!Master's fault the Doctor's regenerations became weirder. Yeah after what he did to Fivey he just messed them up. Like Fivey's legs. Hey, if the Master is having trouble being in a Trakenite body it's only fair, right?
Sixainley:
-The most likely pair to do spicy stuff actually. They're both into BDSM although probably not in a sexual context exactly. No I won't elaborate
-The cat pin? Yeah that's something the cheetah Master left in the TARDIS during that Fivey visit. Six just doesn't know. The Master finds it amusing.
-The Rani has tried to block all contact with the Master because he keeps calling her to talk about his latest plan to kill the Doctor. She's so tired.
Oneainley:
-The Master actually visited 1 on a few occasions during the Doctor's past after the events of the Five Doctors, wearing disguises of course so he wouldn't recognise him later.
-He invited him to lunch and they conversed. The Master finds this Doctor kind of endearing in a way, he's the closest he has to things being alright between them anyways. Just some quiet conversations, no mention of the Master or Gallifrey. No murder intent, they just were. Two "strangers" sharing lunch having candid intellectual conversations.
-Eventually, he stopped. Why? I leave that to your imagination.
24. Talk abt your fan Doctor and Master incarnations
OKOK IM GLAD YOU ASKED... So I met this classmate who's a dw fan and as we became friends he told me he had his own fan Doctor incarnation. Eventually we started LARPing for fun and I made my own Master, then we started making up tons of stories and that's how they came to be!
ONE DAY HOWEVER... He said. What if the Master and the Doctor were bigenerated?? Yeah from the same entity but the Time Lords erased their memories. And Dhawan!Master knew this but that one bit he never told, the Doctor never uncovered it, and this is part of why Dhawan wanted to become the Doctor. And boy this broke my heart because thE IMPLICATIONS. That'd mean the Master is ALSO the Timeless Child. So now that's canon for my Master and surprise, it's been selfcest all this time except not exactly because they are not the same anymore and they can never be.
So based off that, my Master loves to make a point on how different they are whilst his Doctor searches for similarities instead when he learns this. My Master is convinced that they're destined to be the worst parts of the Doctor forever, whilst the Doctor got "the better part". So why would they make it easy for him? Gallifrey is gone anyways so let's prove they can never be the same. Let's prove they're DONE. And they're immortal too I guess so why conform with having nothing no. They're owed the Universe and they're not sharing. Meanwhile the Doctor is wondering what would be of the Master if they had lived anything similar than what they did, if they're actually the same, if there's any kindness left on them, if they could have become the Master... He's stuck on his past in a way, too, missing companions and simpler times and stuff. And I intend to destroy his hopes of truly enjoying his current self you know?
...so yeah uh we also have companions we're making and we're slowly developing all of this + some random "episodes" (plots. that is) and one of them is Dak. Dak is well, kind of a Dalek kind of not. I have no idea how this happened he hasn't told me yet but apparently Dak has the genes of one of his companions? His mind when he was a child. So he's like a curious kid travelling with the Doctor except he's got Dalek Issues (tm) and I have such awful plans for him I'm so sorry little Dak ily but Daleks can never be good you know ☺️☺️ And I also have my subconscious eating beings that hate the Master for reasons but shhh. My friend doesn't know yet.
Anyways here's my Master treating the Doctor with love as usual
-----
Hey... hey. Wait. Don't go! *looks around* Uh... who will help me pay for all the repairs??? 😭
ALSO thank you so much for that twogado recommendation I will proceed to scream

Thank you so much for the tag @sheirukitriesfandom @notoriousbastardlover I struggled a lot with which character should I do this for, but decided to do it with Max, because @notoriousbastardlover you did it with your trevelyan as well (who is very cool btw)
Here's my boy, made with this picrew!
Seasoning: can't help myself, I have to say ginger 🤣
Weather: sunny, like a warm spring afternoon!
Colour: green
Sky: a gentle sunset
Magic Power: his puppy dog eyes could soften up even an archdemon
House Plant: I see him as a sort of cacti, because he's been through a lot and he's still standing. Blooming, even.
Weapon: bow and arrow
Subject: physics (because of how calculated his arrow shots are?? IDK)
Social Media: pinterest
Make-up Product: chapstick. His lips are dry af
Candy: cookies (yes, because he and Sera make cookies together🥺)
Fear: he's always afraid of being annoying or being a burden to everyone
Ice Cube Shape: little hearts!
Method of long-distance travel: the horses from the Inquisition
Art style: baroque! I imagine he has a fancy portrait and several with his shitty family back in Ostwick
Celestial Body: the sun
Mythological Creature: angel
Piece of stationery: do wax seal stamps count?
Thank you so much for this, it was so fun! Tagging @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @thelavenderelf @shitty-drawer only if you want to do this, of course! 💖
Also, I made my Oblivion oc, Sheadonna with this picrew and her design slaps, so I'm just gonna leave this here (before and after becoming Sheogorath!) She is not as detailed as Max or Ravvy yet, so that's why I didn't do the associations with her.
As soon as I saw the rat, I knew I had to make her!

Also, just wanted to say something about this post:
Which I can't link, because I went anon, but like, it is this post that I am just going to copy and paste, so you know what I am talking about:
"i can’t decide if leo as a villain would be cooler if he were:
'calculating and always one step ahead
'brutal and jaded, only interested in his own goals and giving up on morals
'completely unhinged after a lifetime of being perfect"
(and I ofc I also liked the tags on that/this post too)!
And like, yes, I love all those takes on a potential Dark and/or Villain Leo. I think Option 3 may be my favorite (I am just imaging a completely unhinged 2012 Leo and/or Leo and I am loving it), but, I love all of them.
Like, imagine, Option 1 and 2 combined or 1 and 3 or 2 and 3. Or a combo of all three. Man, that would be awesome. Man though, I wish I knew some good Dark 2012 (mentioning 2012 Leo first here and/or a lot, because he is my favorite and love him, though I also like the other Leos. Like Rise Leo (a lot) and Comic Leo, like IDW Leo). Leo and/or Rise and/or Leo in general fics, because I do know some (including some good Foot ones, though I still wish I could find more, esp. completed and/or recently updated), but I could always know more.
Also, also, I loved the tags of that post I linked too! Good tags.
I also really liked this post, which I am going to quote part of, because I can't link (I am sorry):
"i think the reason i immediately distrust people who diss on 2012 Leo for the times he lashes out is that it shows they don’t have an in-depth understanding of trauma, or at the very least, character analysis and nuance."
I thought this was a really good post and analysis on 2012 Leo's character. It was cool/interesting!
Anyways, bye for now, I am hoping these long asks goes through, if not I am saving it/them just in case. Sorry for going anon too btw; I just got a bit shy-ish.
Continuing where that last long Anon Ask of mine left off with this one. Asks 2 of 2.
LMAO option 3 is definitely my favorite too - there's something just So nifty about someone who's normally so poised and famed for being in control losing all of that stiffness and becoming deranged. it's funner to imagine the horror everyone else feels when they finally realize how far they've pushed him :)
and dw you're in good company, 2012 leo is Absolutely my poor little meow meow (if you couldn't tell). *puts him in a jar and shakes it violently*
i'm so sorry anon, i WISH i could rec you some good dark!leo fics, but aside from Foot AUs, i'm in a bit of a drought myself. i know @this-world-of-beautiful-monsters (This_world_of_beautiful_monsters on ao3) writes a lot of amazing ambiguous/morally gray 2012 and IDW Leo, especially in her ABC TMNT / other prompt collections, but i'm not sure if that's the villain you want :(
and yoo thank you so much for liking my silly little 2012 leo rant! it's a bit of an emotional mess (esp bc tumblr messed up the formating and i only realized AFTER people started rbing it sigh), but. hey. at least someone enjoys it? LDJFK thank u !
dude don't be sorry for going on anon or not being able to link !! i like any interaction at all!!! and tbh w u i still send asks on anon to mutuals i talk to outside of tumblr. i totally get it :]]

I was tagged by @stygianheart for this 15 questions and 15 mutual thing and I can’t remember last time I did this lol. But this actually looks fun so let’s gooo(realized we have quite a few similarities while doing this btw)
1. Are you named after anyone?
Nope.
2. When was the last time you cried?
I think it’s been a month? I’m levelling up on the bottling-up-your-emotions thing lmao.

Yep yep an awful lot.
5. What sports do you play/have played?
I *used* to play badminton but it’s been a while now.

This sure made me think lol. But I do notice their hair. Idk why. And I try to get a read on their expression first.
7. What’s your eye color?
Brown.
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
Both really! While scary movies are usually good at distracting me(and sometimes they are even funny) the occasional happy ending movie does help me feel light for a while.
9. Any special talents?
Don’t know if these will really count but uh I can speak more 3 languages decently well. Fast reader, knower of a lot of weird random facts. Fairly fast at calculations. And a bit of a writer. Also, usually able to guess the ending/upcoming plot twist in whatever I’m watching.
10. Where were you born?
I’m gonna keep this one a mystery. hehe.
11. What are your hobbies?
READING I love reading. Binge-watching, writing. Researching about random bizarre stuff and taking random quizzes. Listening to music(I used to play the guitar damn I miss that). Rarely, I try sketching.
12. Do you have any pets?
None sadly :(
13. How tall are you?
Short enough for people to joke about(about the same as you really).
14. Favorite subject in school?
English too. I used to be that kid in class who held the highest score for it. I liked math too though. Had fun even.
15. Dream Job?
Nobody believes this but the very first thing I remember wanting to become was a hacker. I don’t even remember how that came to be. Then I started enjoying writing and ig I can call myself a small writer? But yeah, I always wanted to be do something where I get to travel a lot.
As for 15 mutuals...I haven’t gotten that acquainted with much people here so not tagging anyone for now! A post done just for @stygianheart . I did enjoy doing it though!

Anyone wanna tell me, why Disney thought it was ok to go The Edge of Sleep levels of dark???
Spoilers below the cut
Minnie spent how long, wandering a colorless, sightless, soundless, empty landscape??? Telling herself over and over again "I have to find Mickey!" until that's literally all she remembered????? Not her name, her very being, or even who Mickey actually was, just literally only the words "I have to find Mickey"
Disney wtf

My #1 post of 2022
Hey YouTube did a stupid!!
Y'all know Ann Reardon? The woman who does all those fantastic debunking videos?
Well she posted a video on the extreme dangers of fractal wood burning (don't effing do it) annnnd YouTube, in their infinite wisdom, took down the video because it "promoted dangerous actions"......hello????
Did they take down other fractal wood burning videos? Nope! Did they wait until she was #3 on the search for it, and had many many comments about how she just saved someone's life or thanking her because the commenter knew someone who had died? Yep!!
So if you wouldn't mind helping to raise this video up the ranks, she explains what happened and how much good the other video did, before basically telling YouTube to suck it (and risking a channel strike) by reinserting the footage telling why that type of wood burning is so dangerous.
I'd post the video in this post, but I'm not sure how views are calculated when watched through Tumblr. And algorithmically it's better if you also could like and comment on the vid (I know it's ridiculous but hey it helps stick it to YouTube's insanity)
Here's the link again!! It's also just really informative and deserves a watch!
Edit: The video is back up!!! Great job everyone 😄😄
Edit the 2nd: I can turn off reblogs on a post that already has reblogs o.O that....will probably be happening tomorrow!! I adore the fact that this blew up because it definitely needed to but my brain and notes are suffering 😅

a personalized hard sell
To explain: when I got on Tumblr nine years ago it was because I was lonely and needed to yell about Infinite. And I was exceedingly blessed to grab a scattered group of lovely people who would listen to me. And now we are in 2022, and the gentlemen of Infinite have (hopefully) mostly made it through the worst of idol life and emerged relatively comfortable, and we are two weeks away from Myungsoo completing his military service, and when Jamie, one of those aforementioned lovely people, reached out to me the other day I was like, I have Tumblr back now! and it felt like a hug.
but as y’all know I’ve been prone to yelling about a different group for a while, ad nauseam. I’ve been using this tag for years. And anybody who so much as even vaguely hints that they might be willing to hear me out about Ninety One is at risk of getting the OH BOY OH BOY LET ME TELL YOU A FEW THINGS treatment.
so the following is extremely self-indulgent. and may not make sense, or be particularly effective, outside a specific context. but you are welcome to eavesdrop on my tailored yelling.
why you should take affectionate interest in Ninety One (where “you” = primarily, but not limited to, @berestweys):
they are very charming
“Okay, fine,” you’re thinking, “but it’s not that hard to pretend to be very charming, especially if you have a whole infrastructure of charm built up around you, and nevertheless end up acting like a rotten human being.” I hear you; I have kept that in mind for five years. suffice to say I cannot prove to you that the members of Ninety One are not jerks, never will be able to, but I have been looking for evidence of their jerkiness for over five years now (up to and including flat-out asking people who’ve met them if they’re jerks) and not found it.
the entire split from Juz Entertainment at the beginning of this year stands as evidence in the not-jerks column. admittedly it stands as more evidence that their boss is not a jerk, since he had less to lose from jerkiness, but he showed up to sing at ZaQ’s wedding and then ZaQ and Bala were at an Orda concert (boss’s band) a week or so later. but presumably the not-jerkiness went both ways
also when Ninety One left Juz presumably staffers had an option to leave with them or stay, and some amount of financial calculation must have been in play, but a good many of them decided to go with the guys, including constantly helpful behind-the-scenes dude The Other Other Azamat, extremely adorable director Nurs, thoughtful producer Beka (who also just got married, July is apparently a popular time for weddings in Almaty), and of course Zhadra
speaking of Zhadra: now that they’re married ZaQ is being less shy about showing her (their) cats on Instagram, Ninety One now 25% more cat stepdaddy enabled
but also the guys have always taken (and been able to take) a pretty healthy attitude towards dating. AZ was public about having a girlfriend in 2017-18, then later fans asked Alem if he was dating Veronika (who was working in some capacity for Juz at the time) and he said, “Well, yeah,” and they’ve been a public joy ever since. as someone who remembers the utter shitstorm that was dumped on Myungsoo’s head for dating in late 2013, let me tell you, this feels so much saner
btw Infinite and Ninety One have next to nothing in common besides being male idol groups but: the supposed “visual” is a giant weeb who is forever randomly taking naps (and/or playing way too much Dota 2) and gives every impression of not actually believing this whole nonsense about him being attractive and just wants everybody to be happy and also he has the strangest sneeze noise imaginable and a nonzero percentage of Q-Eaglez think he might be from another planet, does any of this sound familiar
also “maknae on top” I swear Bala is on a barely concealed quest to dominate the entire group, if you break music and lyrics credits out separately he might have more than anyone else now
related: Bala’s face. Sadly I can’t spend all day giving you additional evidence in GIF form but BALA’S FACE
their staged scripted reality shows include episodes where they confront their haters with love and win them over by playing paintball (and Alem was concerned that paintball was too violent)
their unstaged unscripted reality shows consist of a great deal of bilingual yelling
oh yeah do you like linguistic rabbit holes? HOO BOY. these guys (ZaQ especially, but not exclusively) have done a lot of thinking about what it means to speak/sing in Kazakh instead of Russian, and the implications not just for them and their sales/careers but for their country. like there is an entire documentary on the Kazakh language just released in which they appear and I haven’t even seen it yet because I want to finish going through the subs of the interview with the documentary maker in which they switch between Russian and Kazakh and discuss the implications of switching
their latest video, which a fellow Eaglez described as “what in the shinee hell”
I haven’t brought up the actual music yet because I’m not sure what your tastes lean towards; this is the song I consider their best but you might prefer this or this. this is the best song they’ve released this year and here is their most recent We Shall Don Suits and Then Take Over the World effort.
but if you have time for only one MV make it this one, for its combination of resilience + refusal of self-pity + goofiness + social commentary.
but keep in mind this is the group which, when faced with the pandemic and the damage it wrecked on their country’s economy and the departure of the member who was everyone’s default bias, responded with, well clearly this is when we do the epic party jam whose chorus turns entirely on Kazakh-Spanish punning!
I have also not brought up the lore (where “lore” = roughly a century and a half worth of Kazakhstani history) because it’s not strictly necessary, you have a ways to travel before you need to concern yourself with questions such as Who Was Premier Kunaev and Why Did the Dudes Feel the Need to Tell Everyone They’d Borrowed His Car. but suffice to say if you like the idea of learning about a country and a culture through a pop group this one’s pretty damn rich
if wading into the ocean of nonmusical content I would recommend this video, which is 60% them struggling with trivia questions (+ AZ knowing his solar system) and 40% them waxing philosophical about education and finding your own career path
one more thing that won’t be immediately apparent: they’re simultaneously one of the biggest pop groups in Kazakhstan right now and... underdogs? but when they got started they were accused of being Satanic and too effeminate, to the point that they were regularly being dragged into fistfights. (there’s an entire docudrama about this, which is actually grim and not terribly enjoyable, I only recommend it to completists) also their concerts were getting cancelled under mysterious circumstances. that was 2016; it is now 2022 and their concerts are still getting messed with under mysterious circumstances, as I write this they’re having trouble with bureaucrats in Atyrau
and back to the are-they-jerks question: the opposition has definitely been fueled by homophobia, which is much more standard in Kazakhstan than it is in the US/Canada/Australia/western Europe, and under such circumstances it would be understandable (if regrettable) if they joined in on the gay-bashing, but as far as I know (and there’s a lot I don’t know!) they never have. when reading homophobic hate comments after debut they laughed them off. while they themselves are all straight (occasionally going to the trouble of posting “We’re straight!!!” on Telegram, I don’t know what prompted that) and tend to act as if their fanboys universally are too, they have never shied away from including said fanboys in their Eaglez spotlights
and I will stop here, this has gone on long enough, here’s all the song reviews if you need them, suffice to say they are entertaining dudes who I do believe are trying to do good in the world with their work. yell back any time

guess who’s 1amposting! me bitch! here’s my unneeded view on the dgs cast
includes spoilers [not like i tag them anyway]
Kazuma Asougi [DGS1] - my wife who is male. my husband with huge tits. my little bimblo. i played just for asougi. i liked him long before i played dgs, i was very upset when he died even though i saw it coming and i knew he’d come back again.
Ryuunosuke Naruhodou [DGS1/2] - Actual Moron. I had a feeling this would happen but any breakthrough he makes in a case is absolutely NOT what I invisioned. Nonetheless he is my scrimblo bimblo and I love him. Also waist. After the first game, I had this new appreciation for him, mostly because he reminded me of myself in a weird way and also because I liked his development. Pure moron to calculated moron. The fact that he just blurts out whatever he thinks and has barely any filter for his sarcasm makes him more charming imo. I didn’t really like how they shoved in the “We all know what you’re thinking, Naruhodou” thing in the last DGS2 cases but I get it. Unrelated but I forgot the DLC outfits were a thing and never put them on during DGS2, and I actually prefer it that way. Sorry, you only have 1 change of clothes in my mind.
Susato Mikotoba [DGS1/2] - Thank you for saving my ass babe!!! Favourite assistant in terms of practicality bc she actually knows law stuff, also I like how she contrasts Naruhodou’s vague chaos with concerned reason. I feel really bad for her though, like she’s got so much pressure to actually be like this even in the background. I think she needs a good cry and a nice cup of tea and maybe some rock music. I think she should have thrown most of the main cast at least once for stress relief. She deserves the world, I love women,
Herlock Sholmes [DGS1/2] - Malewife but more like a malewidow, he’s my favourite little somebody and he also saves my ass numerous times. I was mildly pissed when the big reveal came up, but he had his reasons, even if he had a funny way of actually executing his plans. Also my guy had tea with the queen and hologram danced his way into the courtroom. Based. Oh yeah, that’s without mentioning Mikotoba. Love those two, I loved that dance of deduction and I think they should meet again. Maybe kiss. Maybe both.
Iris Wilson [DGS1/2] - My favourite tiny doctorate. Unfortunately I am not too fond of children so I have nothing much to say about Iris other than based 10 year old bullies lawyers in court. This includes Barok btw.
Gina Lestrade [DGS1/2] - Honourable mention because I can’t just leave her out. I love her, I feel like she shouldn’t have been thrown in the wringer so much but I’m guessing her position means it should have been inevitable. McGuilded pissed me off too, I’m glad we have solidarity. I’ll shove my Gregson opinions here too bc why not: I think he was alright and even though there were all those Reaper shenanigans, I think he was kinda funny and a nice mentor for Gina. If only that stuff didn’t happen. I think she should have a good cry and a nice cup of tea and a kiss from Susato.
Barok van Zieks [DGS1] - Racist cunt. Mildly attractive. Made me uncomfortable. And strangely aroused. The only thing keeping me going during half those trials was inevitably seeing him fail and die and turn into ash. He was an okay prosecutor too, that was the worst part. He wanted to find the truth, even if he was a massive dick about it and would crush glass into my eyeballs and go “You Ethnic Bitch How Could You Ever Believe You Were Right About Anything?”. 1-5 gave me a bit of hope but no he just bitched about how this other Japanese guy was soooo mean so he should be mean to you too. I thought this was Kazuma so that might’ve pissed me off a little further. Because seriously, what did these two have in common? Oh the things I didn’t know.
Masked Disciple/Kazuma Asougi [DGS2] - First thoughts: GIRL GET OUT OF THERE!!!! I had no idea why he was being kept with Barok, so my first thoughts trailed into uncomfortable territory. I just wanted to get him out of there, being that close to Barok isn’t good for your mental health. Imagine having to stand next to Barok while he crushes and throws glass everywhere and makes you open his wine. What was the point of that anyway? Cutting the cork would’ve left a bit stuck in the mouth of the bottle. Dumbass. I wonder what he was thinking some days.
Prosecutor Kazuma Asougi [DGS2] - First thoughts: Did your tits get bigger? Second thoughts: Nasty brat. Sort of, only really in court. The other reveal was really cool and all, I did not expect this fucker to start convulsing and screaming and clutching at himself. Being honest, during 2-4 and 2-5 I was so focused on the case that I wanted to see him cringe and fail just as much as Barok. Very sorry babe. In my defense he was being kind of a bitch, but in his defense he was kind of breaking down in the middle of the courtroom so I can’t really blame him. Barok wouldn’t have been trusted with his own case anyway. I still have mixed feelings on their choices with him, no amount of character studies I read seem to fix that. I personally think he should’ve come back to Japan, and that’s not the gay brain speaking. I genuinely do not see how any more time with Barok would benefit him. Get some textbooks imported from England or something, Also it’s funny to image him and Naruhodou destroying the justice system into rubble and sailing off into the sunset. They touched tips. They should kiss.
Barok van Zieks [DGS2] - I knew this would come and I still hate myself for it but I actually did kind of come to like him after 2-5. Seeing him cringe and fail was cathartic, now I can tolerate him a little more. Maybe I have a shrimp brain like Naruhodou over here but I thought his apology was genuine at the time, so.. Anyway, I wouldn’t say I care for him and would lick his boots or whatever, any sort of liking I have towards him is a sadistic desire to see him embarass himself. I still hate him, but less in a “I want to see you die” way and more in a “I want you to be sitcom comedic relief” way. Unrelated but this is also why I’m a homubaro enjoyer, because it’s the most romcom of ships and I like when Herlock bullies him. Also I like The Family. And I can’t imagine a relationship with Asougi or Naruhodou working out in the long run.
Honourable Mentions:
- Courtney Sithe, for being attractive and interesting, she deserved at least another half-case of screentime. Gorey too, I guess.
- Enoch Drebber, for the same reasons as Dr. Sithe.
- Genshin Asougi, I kind of wish you actually were a murderer but that would've looked really really bad for Kazuma. Have fun eloping with Klint and Lady Baskerville in heaven, my guy. And for hiding that will in the sword. What the fuck was that.
- Klint van Zieks, for being the better van Zieks. Even after killing a bunch of people with your dog. It wasn't your fault babe.
- Yuujin Mikotoba , for uh... Being partnerfriends with Herlock and also saving my ass in court.
