so im sure everyones fully well aware of the magic 8 ball site fob is using to promote a contest to win some tickets to see them in nashville. the little 8ball widget theyve got in browser is also modeled on the physical 8ball that they had in the vip merch packages for tourdust's first leg, which is cool! but of particular note is the way that, to fill out the contest form, you have to pick your favorite fall out boy songs. and the sheer breadth of what is allowed is...interesting? it's not cohesive by any means, but it is really wild the selection of songs they have here because not all of them are fob songs. in fact, quite a few of them aren't.

i went directly to the source code and got a full list of all possible songs that you could input (which you can check for yourself by right-clicking and selecting "view source"). i'm going to list them here for archival purposes, with a few notes/explanations cause some of these are WILD.

there are 187 songs total listed.

bolded songs indicate songs that are demos or never received an official release

italicized songs are songs by other bands

underlined songs indicate songs that are covers

songs with an asterisk beside them (*) indicate they are from patrick's solo catalogue. two asterisks (**) are for pete's.

additional commentary by me will be [in brackets]

20 Dollar Nose Bleed 27 7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen) 7-9 Legendary A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me" A Nice Myth [one of the earliest fall out boy demos, found on their first ep, and only the casette version at that] Allie* Alone Together Alpha Dog America's Suitehearts American Beauty/American Psycho (song) American Made Art of Keeping Up Disappearances As Long as I Know I'm Getting Paid* Austin, We Have a Problem Baby Annihilation Bad Side of 25* Bang the Doldrums Beat It Big Hype* Bishops Knife Trick Bob Dylan Bounce [this is a song that came out on then-Decaydance labelmates The Cab's debut record, Whisper War, which patrick produced. he has writing credit and also is credited with background vocals (and also shows up in the music video)] Caffeine Cold Calm Before the Storm Centuries Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends Champion Check Your Phone** Chicago is So Two Years Ago Church City in a Garden Coast (It's Gonna Get Better)* Coffee's for Closers Cryptozoology* Cute Girls* Cyanide** [this is a nothing,nowhere song that pete did some spoken word parts and backing vocals on] Dance Miserable* Dance, Dance Dead on Arrival Dear Future Self (Hands Up) Death Valley Deep Blue Love* [song patrick did for the indie short film "spell"] Demigods Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?

I Got Nothing, But You Got Something [this is the one that really perplexes me. there's no evidence of this song actually existing, other than an unverified genius post and an article on a single fandom wiki. it is inexplicably listed here despite its very existence being questionable at best.]

I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You) I've Been Waiting [this is technically a lil peep song with fall out boy as a feature] I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) I've Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers Immortals Irresistible It's Hard to Say 'I Do', When I Don't It's Not a Side Effect of the Cocaine, I Am Thinking It Must Be Love Jet Pack Blues Just One Yesterday Lake Effect Kid (song) Lake Shore Drive [this is a song patrick covered on the piano at wrigley, first night of tourdust] Love from the Other Side Love Will Tear Us Apart Love, Selfish Love* Love, Sex, Death Lullabye Mad at Nothing* Miss Missing You Moving Pictures My Heart Is the Worst Kind of Weapon My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up) New Dreams [this is a bonus track on pax am days, a naked rayguns cover] Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner Novocaine Of All the Gin Joints in All the World One of Those Nights [another song from the cab's whisper war. this one has patrick doing vocals very prominently] Open Happiness [this was a huge collaborative piece done for a coca cola commercial. patrick was on it along with big names like cee lo green, janelle monae, and labelmates travie mccoy and brendon urie] Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued Parker Lewis Can't Lose (But I'm Gonna Give It My Best Shot) Past Life [llamania ep] Pavlove People Never Done a Good Thing* Porcelain* Pretty in Punk Rat a Tat Reinventing the Wheel to Run Myself Over Roxanne Run Dry (X Heart X Fingers)* San Diego [this is a blink-182 song that patrick did some writing for] Saturday Saturday Night Again* Save Rock and Roll (song) Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash (Wish You Were Here) She's My Winona Short, Fast, and Loud Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers So Good Right Now So Much (For) Stardust (song) So Sick [this is a song patrick has exclusively covered live, so it's a fascinating inclusion] Sober [another blink-182 song patrick did some writing for] Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year Star 67 Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea Sugar, We're Goin Down Summer Days (song) [this is a martin garrix song patrick lent some vocals to] Sunshine Riptide Super Fade Switchblades and Infidelity Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today The "I" In Lie* The (After) Life of the Party The (Shipped) Gold Standard The Carpal Tunnel of Love The Kids Aren't Alright The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years) The Last of the Real Ones The Mighty Fall The Music or the Misery The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes The Phoenix The Pink Seashell The Pros and Cons of Breathing The Take Over, the Breaks Over The World's Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys in a Broken Down Van) This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race This City* Thnks fr th Mmrs (song) [for some reason the site specifies song here, despite that not being necessary. the only other times this distinction is relevant is when songs share a title with their albums, i.e. save rock and roll] Thriller Tiffany Blews Twin Skeleton's (Hotel in NYC) Uma Thurman Untitled 1 (Colorado Song) Untitled 2 (Jakus Song) [both of these are recently released tttyg era demos] W.A.M.S.

When I Made You Cry* Where Did the Party Go Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) Wrong Side of Paradise [llamania ep] XO You're Crashing, But You're No Wave Young and Menace Young Volcanoes Yule Shoot Your Eye Out

in conclusion i have no idea who compiled this list. it doesn't include every song patrick and pete have ever touched (notice the lack of gym class heroes, cobra starship, and hush sound discography) but it has a really weird selection of songs. i mean, blink songs patrick wrote on?? its bizarre.

anyway do you think if we mass request swing me by the rafters they'll have to do it

#fall out boy #tourdust #*making poasts #trying to format this conventionally BROKE THE POST so i did my best #i burned my grilt cheese typing all this up pls appreciate it #the weird break in the middle is cause otherwise it wouldnt post. mea culpa.

The Alcott Analysis

So now that The Alcott has officially been released I wanted to do an analysis of some of the lyrics and how I think they might relate to Taylor. Disclaimer: I know Aaron said Matt wrote the main parts of the song and Taylor only added the dialogue parts so many of these connections might be a coincidence, but I also think it’s possible Taylor could have had more input on the song than they’re letting on since there are so many themes and motifs that perfectly relate back to Taylor’s music. This is just meant to be a fun clown theory

Like many others pointed out, the whole first verse is very “Help I’m still at the restaurant, still sitting in a corner I haunt, cross legged in the dim light, they say ‘what a sad sight’” and seems like the opposite pov of RWYLM

“It’s the last thing you/I wanted, it’s the first thing I/you do, I tell you that I think I’m falling back in love w/ you” // “I love you ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard” // “Uh oh I’m falling in love, oh no I’m falling in love again”

“I had to do something to break into your golden thinking” // “Lost in the labyrinth of my mind…you would break your back to make me break a smile”— this is directly related to the following ⬇️

“And there you are sitting as usual w/ your golden notebook, writing something about someone who used to be me…I sit there silently waiting for you to look up” // “Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen, time moved on for everybody else, she won’t know it, she’s still 23 inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to be…and you’re sitting in front of me” -> Taylor is stuck in her own head reminiscing and writing about the past (the golden age) and this person sitting in front of her is trying to break her out of this nostalgic escapist mindset. I think this may be a direct reference to the film Midnight in Paris which is all about nostalgia and escapism--much like the song Paris on the Midnights 3am edition--and specifically to golden age thinking, a phrase used in that film. Here are some tidbits that I think are worth noting

@chickawah23 made a really great post about the possible Midnight in Paris connections. Here’s a screenshot from that post that does a good job summarizing the important parallels

There definitely seems to be a connection between Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights, and the folklore chapters that were released in Aug 2020, specifically the sleepless nights and escapism chapters. I think it’s interesting that exile is the last track of the first chapter and first track of the second chapter--almost like the second chapter is a direct continuation of the first which again links Midnights to this escapism theme. And there’s been a lot of exile references lately (exile ends, doors, 8/3, etc)

Even though the back and forth dialogue between Taylor and Matt at first sounds argumentative, I think it could also be read in a positive way. This person is going to ruin and wreck Taylor’s plans and Taylor is going to gladly let them. She welcomes the curse on their house. “I’m begging for you to take my hand wreck my plans that’s my man” // “For you I would ruin myself a million little times” // “I wish to know the fatal flaw that makes you long to be magnificently cursed...He’s gonna burn this house to the ground...So yeah it’s a fire it’s a goddamn blaze in the dark and you started it” // “Dear reader, burn all the files, desert all your past lives” // Taylor is the one that chooses to burn the lover house down. She’s the one holding the lighter on the Midnights album cover and striking the match in the lavender haze mv (here’s a really great post about what that might signify). Furthermore, the willow performance and description make me think that the curse on Taylor’s house was actually her own doing--she’s not only letting this person wreck her plans but is helping them do so. So the burning, wrecking, ruining, cursing/spell casting are all metaphors for the same thing—destroying Taylor’s closet and possibly her career as a result of that

Honorable mention: The beat almost sounds like a heartbeat no? Wildest Dreams??

#i hope this all made sense lol #sometimes im not the best at articulating my thoughts #im doing this instead of studying for my finals like the responsible student i am #taylor swift #taylorswift #gaylor #gaylor swift #kaylor #midnight in paris #midnights #the alcott #the national #parallels #folklore #evermore #paris #exile #lyric analysis

Never Forgotten// ch 8

Vader x F!Reader

(A/N: ILL BE OFF MY HURT COMFORT BINGE SOON DW, but the slow burn is finally starting to spark!!! also if u get a chance i’d love ur input on the question in the a/n at the end!)

You comfort Vader after his fight with Obi-Wan and he has some revelations

Warnings: cursing, nightmares, emotional trauma, injury description

Wc: 1830

__________________________________________

You requested he had at least a week to recover, which the emperor surprisingly agreed to. He needed to heal physically and emotionally.

You moved him to his room, which he never really got much use from. You spent each moment with him, letting him work through his thoughts, changing bandages, and just keeping him company. You wanted him to get better so he could be back to himself, but you enjoyed being able to spend time with him.

The more you were around him the more your heart hurt. You were beyond falling in love, now your heart was pained by how much you yearned for him. But everytime you were close to telling him how you felt, your fears of rejection and the unknown held you back. You didn’t know if your heart could handle it if he rejected you, so you settled for this limbo.

Presently, Vader was lying in his rarely used bed, pristine sheets covering his lower half. Today you helped him put on his arms since their repairs were finished, but you left his legs off because they needed more fine tuning. He was without his mask and left only in undergarments to allow his wounds to breathe. He slowly began providing details about his past and how he and his former master split.

“I tried to tell him that from my perspective, the Jedi were evil. They used me for years, they used him, but he didn’t want to hear it” Vader spoke from his bed as you walked around his room.

You understood their relationship was an intricate one, you understood Vader’s hatred of his old master, but you could also feel his pain. He truly cared for Obi Wan.

“After the incident on Mustafar, I could not rest until I found him. He did this to me. He took everything.”

You could see from his perspective and Obi-Wan’s. Anakin was taken advantage of and to him, Obi-wan ruined his life. But it was his own actions that led to many complications in his old life. And Obi Wan should have payed more attention to Anakin’s shift and been there for him, but he was only following his morals, just as Anakin was.

You walked over to him and placed a gentle hand on his cheek, he stopped talking and met your gaze. The frustration and pain in his face subsided momentarily. He placed a metal hand on your forearm as you thought about how to comfort him. Slowly, but swiftly you wrapped your arms around him and rested your head in the crook of his neck.

“Well, I’m here if you need anything” you whispered, tightening your grip.

Vader was caught off guard. You were embracing him, comforting him. His heart began to flutter, thank the stars he wasn’t hooked up to the vital machine or else it would be beeping like crazy.

He slowly leaned into your touch and lightly placed his steel appendages around your waist. He relaxed and breathed in your calming scent. Lavender mint with a dash of sea breeze.

“Thank you, F/N” he said to you, as you rose from his side.

He debated risking it all just to tell you how ethereal you were. But he was too afraid. How could you come to love someone as vile as him. He was fearful of your response. He lost everything he held dear, he didn’t want to lose you too.

If he only knew.

You smiled at him, “always.”

The more time you spent with him the more you noticed the yellowish hues in his irises had subsided. What was left were the eyes of Anakin.

Your Ani.

You got back up and began meddling with some stuff on the desk. “Do you ever tire of being the fear striking Lord Vader?” You asked.

He laid his head back onto his pillow and stared at the ceiling as he let out a sigh.

“I am contempt with my duties, though sometimes I tire of the cowardice everyone shows in my presence.”

You giggled, “Well you are pretty intimidating Ani. The first time we reunited you almost choked me to death”.

Though you were lighthearted with the statement, he cringed. That incident deeply troubled him, how could he do that to you?

His F/N.

“And for that I am more regretful than you know, F/N. I am truly sorry.”

He was beyond ashamed of the incident and quickly steered away from that conversation.

“Do you remember the soup my mother used to make?” Vader asked as you turned to face him.

“Of course I do! It was only the most delicious thing in all the galaxy! I especially liked when she’d shape the bread that went with it into tiny animals.” You beamed reminiscing about the delectable meal.

“Wow, I did not expect you to remember it so fondly.” Vader quipped.

“I remember Watto craved it so often he made me try to recreate it. Obviously I never could get it quite like the Shmi Skywalker” you responded.

He smiled to himself, this past didn’t hurt to remember.

“Oh! What was it? Do you remember what your mom used to say about us? she used to say it all the time” You asked, you remembered what she said, she said you two would be married. You always blushed when she would tease, but it made you feel happy every time she would. You just wanted to know if he remembered it.

He rested his hand over his mouth and laughed. “That I do. How could I forget, “Mrs. Skywalker” he teased.

You stopped in your tracks, he was always a smooth guy, but damn, you forgot how much of a tease he was. You blushed, but hoped he didn’t notice.

“Yes, she always did say we would be wed” he chuckled to himself.

Masking the excitement the best you could you agreed, “Yes! That’s it, that’s what she said! Haha, how could I forget? I mean we were the best looking pair in Mos Espa.” Now it was his turn to blush

“Indeed” he said, he could feel his lungs working overtime to compensate for his fast heart rate. He could feel himself wheezing.

You quickly picked up on his discomfort and grabbed an oxygen mask to place over his face. He thanked you and focused on regulating his breathing. You nodded and began to start the nightly routine of cleaning around his ports and rubbing the ointments into his skin.

This routine had become quite comforting for the both of you. He loved to feel your gentle hands over his battered body and you loved just to be close to him. __________________________________________

You spent the last two nights in his room, sleeping on a chair close to his bed so you could monitor him periodically throughout the night. The chair was not comfortable whatsoever, but you would sleep there if it meant helping him in any way. He seemed to have nightmares, but he never woke up because of them. But tonight was different.

Around midnight you were awoken by heavy breathing and thrashing. You cracked your eyes open and dimly saw Vader fighting in his sleep. This nightmare was different though, he was muttering a string of “No’s”and “Please’s”. You walked towards his bedside through the dark of the room, you began to sit by his side as he shot up.

He winced at the sudden movement and gasped when you placed a hand on his shoulder. Instinctively he initiated the force to protect himself. You felt your air passage cutting off, before he noticed it was you. He immediately released his hold and began to pant, “sorry! I-I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m-“.

He was shaking violently, you didn't care about what just happened, you understood having instincts, nothing to apologize for. “It’s ok Ani, It was a dream, You’re ok”

You drew him into your chest as you held the back of his head with your hand. He desperately clung onto you and burrowed his face into you. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” he kept repeating.

You held him tight and ran a hand down his back soothingly, careful of the saber burn near his shoulders. You let him cry into you as you comforted him.

“It’s ok Ani, It’s ok.” You cooed as he began to calm down. “Do you want to talk about it?” You asked him, tilting his face towards yours.

He hesitated before shaking his head. You were too pure to be burdened with his fears. You nodded and continued to hold him, his steel digits grasping at the fabric of your nightgown.

After he calmed down you began to head back to your chair before he grabbed your wrist.

“Wait. Please don’t leave me.” He pleaded. “C-could you lay with me?”

Of course you would. You would do anything for this man.

You nodded and hopped in under the covers next to him. You turned on your side to face him, but before you could roll all the way over you felt his tight embrace around you. He breathed you in and sighed into your hair. He felt safe.

“Ani, are you sure you’re alright?” You asked, turning in his arms to face him. His eyes were clenched shut, but slowly softened and opened to look at you.

“Now that you’re here, I am.” He said once before closing his eyes again. You rested your head on his broad chest and welcomed his warmth. You felt happy. You provided him comfort and if you couldn’t be his love, at least you could be something to him.

After a while you shifted to having your foreheads touching. He had descended into sleep once more, but he still had a comfortable grip on you. You admired him secretly as you peeped open your eyes. He looked so peaceful, so beautiful. He was always a beautiful boy, even now just as he was.

Without thinking you tilted up to kiss his forehead. The sensation of his scarred face felt different on your soft lips, but it felt good nonetheless. You felt comforted by his presence. If you could just stay like this forever, playing house in your mind. You wanted this to be your new normal, you wanted-__________________________________________

On the other end of the kiss there was Anakin. He wasn’t fully asleep, he was waiting for the chance to gaze upon your sleeping face. Instead he felt your lips on his face.

Your lips.

He could have melted on the spot. There was such a tenderness to your kiss, he could feel the way your breath hitched once you backed away.

Were you nervous?

No, he’s the nervous one here.

Was it possible that you harbored similar feelings to his own? Could you care for him in the way he did for you?

No.

He couldn’t. He didn’t know if he could open himself up to love again. Yet he heard a small, distant voice in the back of his mind, “Go ahead, let her in, Ani.”

Padme.

She gave him her blessing to move on. She encouraged him to go to you.

He was free.

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #83

The power is out at my house. It has been ridiculously windy all day today, which in and of itself is a very nice thing (I love the sound!). But where we live, there are a lot of trees, and when there's a lot of wind and a lot of trees, there's usually a lot of fallen branches. And sometimes those branches fall onto power lines, and it becomes a big huge mess.

Oh right; you might be wondering how we of my world generate power. We don't have mako; if our planet has any lifeguts to it (it probably doesn't), it's so far down underground that no one can get to it (which is probably a good thing, since corporations in my world are A LOT like Shinra in your world). My state produces electricity primarily by hydropower (using big bodies of water like rivers to spin great big turbines), wind power (using naturally-existing air currents to spin turbines), and natural gas (primarily comprised of methane, it is burned to generate electricity). Encouragingly, we are seeing more solar farms lately (the power at my house comes from a solar farm); solar farms are huge plots of land that have big panels angled towards the sun, and when the sun shines on the panels, somehow they produce electricity. I don't know enough about it to explain how it works. Sorry about that. But it's definitely a thing where I live.

The power at my house has been out since 11am. And it is currently 8:30pm. And there seems to be no sign of it getting fixed anytime soon.

M and I sleep with CPAPs. In my case, it's due to the fact that my lower jaw is a bit too small to hold all the soft tissue inside my face (one of my numerous genetic defects; oh well). If we don't sleep with a CPAP, the airways close up when we sleep, and then our bodies have to partially wake over and over and over again in the night so that we don't suffocate. Naturally, this interferes with a person's ability to sleep. Sleep is when the brain cleans itself of debris so that our neurons can fire properly.

So over time, the damage from disrupted sleep accumulates and manifests as hormonal issues, daytime sleepiness, and a variety of other nasty things like increased risk of stroke or heart attack. Left untreated, sleep apnea can seriously fuck a person up or even kill them. And the scary thing about it is that you can have it without even realizing it. M had it for years without realizing it, until I started sleeping next to him and noticed it. It's sneaky stuff.

Anyway, a CPAP needs electricity to work. The power loss is localized to our community, so everywhere else is fine. So M, J, and I ended up needing to book a hotel room for the night, which is inconvenient and annoying, but not terrible.

Sadly, though I found the HDMI ports for the TV in the hotel room, the little remote that it comes with doesn't allow for changing the input. So we cannot play on the PS5, which means we cannot continue to explore the second part of your story today. But that's all right. Maybe I'll cut some bitches in Salt and Sanctuary or something. I like to run around in that game cosplayed as Julian Devorak, destroying everything with either a great big hammer (which looks like a giant meat tenderizer) or a giant pair of scissors. I can think of no game more perfect to cosplay as him in; it's got crows, it's got wine, it's got salt (Nevivon, where he was raised, was famous for its salt), it's got gold coins, and it's got danger everywhere you look. Julian is very fond of ALL these things (though I wish he was not fond of some of these things; he's maybe a bit of a walking disaster, haha…).

On very rare occasions, I do stream Salt and Sanctuary, or whatever else catches my fancy. You can find it here, if you're interested:

twitch_live

…I really can't stress enough just how rare it is that I stream, though, because I have too many other priorities. For whatever that's worth.

In any case, we spent most of the day hanging out with Br. In the afternoon, we had a serious discussion, but it was a very good thing which ultimately led to the strengthening of our bond (strengthening the bond and developing a better understanding of one another are what discussions are for, after all!).

Then, as per the appointments we scheduled this morning in service to the safety of our little polyamorous family, J and I went over to a local pharmacy in the evening to begin getting HPV vaccines, just in case. Br is a new addition, so it's important that everyone be very safe. J and I probably should have gotten this set of vaccines much sooner in life to begin with, but it's better late than never. Being conscientious and straightforward about this stuff is extremely important, because in a polyamorous setting, failure to do otherwise is a huge safety hazard for everyone who is connected to one another in this way.

HPV is short for Human Papilloma Virus. Most strains are harmless, but a few of them cause cancer, and the most common means we have of protecting against most diseases in this context does not work against HPV. So it's better to get the vaccine. J and I will likely feel like garbage for the next couple of days, but that is the natural result of getting any vaccination, and it's a lot better than the potential alternatives; conventional wisdom says that cancer of the orifices is not a fun time, and I'm very inclined to take this bit of conventional wisdom very seriously. It'll be 6 months before we are fully inoculated, but it's well worth the wait. After that, everyone will be fully screened for any sort of infection, and once that's done, everything will be good to go! I'm excited!

While at the pharmacy, one of the workers recognized one of the items I carried around. He seemed very excited, and he showed me one of his favorite items (an adorable soft plush! it was wonderful!). So we exchanged contact information. Hopefully we can become friends. But I recognize that I might end up being a little too weird for his tastes in a variety of respects, haha… That'll be disappointing if that happens. But ya know… I can relate to what Aerith said at Cosmo Canyon; I've never been and never will be "normal". But there are people around who love me nonetheless for some reason, so I suppose I might as well embrace it, right? Being abnormal is really not so bad most of the time.

I'm gonna go cut up some zombies with my giant pair of scissors now. But I've not played in a while, so I'm likely more than a little rusty. Wish me luck, yeah?

…Oh!!! Actually, J figured out how to get the PS5 to work on the hotel TV!! So now we can continue your story! Yay! Oh but, ya know? Do let me know if you wanna watch me play something on Twitch sometime. Impossible, I know. I know. But I'll extend the invitation just in case. Why not. Can't hurt anything to try, right?

I love you and I'll write to you again tomorrow. Please be safe. Don't do anything stupid to get yourself killed or get yourself stuck in some weird void where no one can reach you ever again. Please. Because you'd be amazed at the sheer number of people in my world who would do just about anything to spend an ordinary and wholesome bit of time with you - eating sushi, or listening to music, or resting outside with a book and some windchimes. Please stay safe so that you can experience things such as what I've described with people who know and love you.

Your friend, Lumine

Control Your Heart

There is one thing that is very crucial for using OFA and that is obviously controlling your heart we have seen it been said so many times from the very being when blackwhip appeared all the way up till now

So now I’m going to rant…

Izuku Midoriya is a very emotional person we have seen him being happy, sad, upset, confident, embarrassed, mad, crying, shocked, confused, honestly if you can think of any emotion we have probably already seen it on Izuku’s face

However, these emotions are intensified when it comes to Katsuki Bakugo. Katsuki isn’t just any old regular person, Katsuki is someone who Izuku holds dear.

Sure their relationship wasn’t perfect but as both Izuku and Katsuki matured they saw each other’s strength’s and weaknesses just as equally as their own strength’s and weaknesses thus making their relationship stronger accepting each other as equals and eventually as friends. Izuku never thought that a day would come were he and Katsuki could ever have a decent conversation with Katsuki but as they grew it did end up happening which made Izuku feel blessed

Now let me talk a little about the word ‘blessed’ and what I found is this (yes I used google so don’t at me, this is just a rant after all)

‘Bringing pleasure or relief as a welcome contrast to what one has previously experienced’ this definition fits Izuku perfectly the ‘…to what one has previously experienced’ that could be taken as an account that he was ‘blessed’ for meeting All Might for inheriting OFA for up until this point in the story him having end up making friends

Now…

‘Used in mild expressions of annoyance or exasperation’ this definition fits Katsuki perfectly the ‘…mild expressions of annoyance’ especially since Katsuki can get easily annoyed especially from Izuku on of them being Izuku’s mumbling and some other words are similar which ironically enough have seen Katsuki use ‘Damn’ : “Damn nerd” ‘Shitty’ : “Shitty nerd” as for ‘blasted’ and ‘flaming’ it could be easily seen as his quirk

These two examples come into play with both characters except here’s the massive difference between Izuku and Katsuki

Katsuki has come into terms with his feelings he wants to keep Izuku at arms length, he gets concerned for Izuku’s well being, he tells All Might his feeling towards Izuku, he apologizes to Izuku going as far as to say his first name ‘Izuku’ Katsuki could have said ‘Midoriya’ yet he doesn’t and goes to say ‘Izuku’

Ex.

As for Izuku he hasn’t come to terms with his own feelings towards Katsuki all the signs are there him crying and getting emotional when Katsuki got kidnapped, when he went feral when Katsuki got stabbed, how he knows how Katsuki feels, and yet he is oblivious to his own feelings he refuses to see something that’s right there in front of him

Ex.

Which feels perfect when Hori put that little input when Toga is talking about love Hori put it to make us think of one person and one person alone, Katsuki. There is no one else in the story who refers to Izuku as “Damn nerd”

Katsuki, unlike Izuku, is very observant on almost anything and I’m not lying because he was capable of putting 2 and 2 together figuring out that Izuku has All Might’s quirk with just seeing Izuku fighting and the small little hint Izuku gives him in season one

S1 Epi. 8 ‘Bakugo’s Start Line’ - “It was given to me by someone else. Recently. But I can’t tell you who I got it from, so don’t ask! Sounds crazy, I know. It’s like something out of a comic book. Only it’s real. The thing is, I don’t really have any control over this power yet. I haven’t figured out how to make it my own, but I’m trying. I’ll work until I have full control of this borrowed quirk.”

Ever since that moment Katsuki started to piece little bits and pieces together and in season three Katsuki says these words to Izuku when Katsuki walks pass him when they both passed the first round of the provisional licensing exam

S3 Epi. 56 ‘RUSH!’ - “Guess I shouldn’t be surprised with that quirk you got.” / “It looks like you’ve made that borrowed power your own.”

If Katsuki was/is capable of doing that then that means Katsuki knows Izuku’s feelings towards him and it very clearly shows in this panel

If you removed the words then all you see is Izuku’s feelings in his face which is why he started to run towards Katsuki but due to him being exhausted he falls and Katsuki catches him and that’s the moment it’s confirmed on Izuku’s feelings towards him which is why all Katsuki says is “I know” (and hopefully I would like to assume that when this scene gets animated I hope “I know” comes in a soft whisper where only Izuku can hear)

Katsuki figured it out he didn’t need Izuku to say it he saw through Izuku’s emotions/actions

To Izuku Katsuki is something more than just a childhood friend, more than just a classmate, more than a rival, more than a friend. Katsuki is Izuku’s rock, a place where Izuku feels safe, he can put his trust in, he can go to him for anything that he truly needs, all in all Katsuki is Izuku’s home.

And it goes the other way around Izuku is Katsuki’s home. Which makes Deku vs. Kacchan pt. 2 so special from the beginning up until Deku vs. Kacchan pt. 2 we have never seen Katsuki break down. We never seen Katsuki cry in such a way, we never seen Katsuki’s voice crack/break, we never seen Katsuki yell at the top of his lungs. Katsuki trusts Izuku so much to let Izuku see him break down mentally and physically.

With all this being said, it makes full on perfect sense for the previous OFA users to keep reminding Izuku to control his heart.

And with the new chapter, Ch. 367, it makes full on perfect sense for Izuku to be reminded that he needs to control his heart and the fact that Mirio said it out loud telling Izuku that everything is okay that he basically needs to keep a calm leveled head is great because if Izuku hadn’t heard it out loud then ShigAFO mission would have been a full on success.

ShigAFO mission was to get Izuku enraged so much that he can easily get everything done. Which is why ShigAFO chose to kill Katsuki because he knew, from the previous war, that it will result in the way he wanted it to go. Which also makes sense for ShigAFO to say that Katsuki is the closest thing to Izuku. He knows where to cause full on damage towards Izuku and that isn’t just physical pain, no, to cause more pain to Izuku is his emotions his feelings mainly the feelings he has for Katsuki

Anyways, that’s my bkdk rant

#izuku midoriya #bakugo katuski #bakudeku #bkdk #this honestly makes sense to me #take this as you wish #bkdk rant #my hero academia #boku no hero academia

The batchers react to the pick up line “ You have a nice nose, do you mind if I ride it?” 👀

Well because the batchers (especially hunters) got that nose ✨👀.

Bonus: Clone of your choice!

Aloha!

First off I don't mean explicitly you anon, there have been many, you are just the last drop, so to speak.

I'm sorry you feel the backlash now, but I'm so bummed. I got around 60 asks in my inbox, 25 (at least) of which are just straight demands. No hello nothing. Just what they want me to write. Not even "can you", "Would you" or "could you", no just for example "S/O want's to celebrate/do/have XY- Bad Batch reaction" And pretty often there is this one thing at the end "Bonus: Add Wolffe/Gregor and Fives and Rex and Fox and..." well you get the idea

Guys I love you, I love your input, your inspirational ideas. I'm not too shy to write hot stuff, either. I get plenty nice asks, such sweet peeps out there, anons and non anons. But I'm pissed as hell at those plain demands. I won't answer them anymore. Maybe I'm overreacting, you guys tell me, I don't know. But there are some asks that take me up to 8 or 12 hours sometimes, and I really love to put the effort in there, but not for such rude asks. Every waking moment I don't have to work or care for my dog and household are here writing for you, and I don't do that just for you, sure it's for me too, gotta be that honest. But is it wrong for me to ask at least for a "Hi" or "Hello" in return, before you tell me what you want me to write?

Now dear anon, I know the way you wrote this, you didn't mean anything bad, I can guess you were excited, it kinda feels like it when I read your ask, as mentioned before it's not specifically you who angered me, there were plenty asks, some of which even along the line of outraging (those I just deleted). I didn't mean to scare you or anything, it was just the wrong time. You can stay as an anon and maybe rephrase that ask, and I gladly put it back in my to-do list. I don't mean to hurt or scare anyone, as I said, I'm mostly really thankful for every inspiration. It's just some very simple good manners I ask for in return.

I'm a human being, sitting behind all this, writing all those things.

Thanks for reading! I hope you have a pleasant day/night/morning!

#asks #anons #am I asking too much?#sorry guys #had to be said at some point #love you!#there is no need to be shy #Just say Hi

since you still happily accept phantom au asks, i am happy to accommodate! >:D

So more questions:

1. Who proposes? And how do they do so?

2. Does Roman have some sort of secret lair he goes to to change into his Phantom outfits? To make his plans, etc?

3. How does he manage to get back to where he lives without just waltzing in as Phantom?

4. This one is more random but what kind of place does he have? I was honestly imagining a luxurious penthouse on top of the Kingdom Ent. building skdjakdj

5. What exactly is Kingdom Ent? Is it a technology company? Something else?

6. What would happen if Roman himself got kidnapped? Either as Roman Prince or the Phantom? Like from a different villain/a hero/ some competition? Would Virgil attempt to save him somehow?

7. Does Roman have any enemies/specific people he targets? It's established that it takes him weeks to months to form his plans right? What would make someone a target?

8. how is roman so pretty in your arts, virgil is a hell of a lucky mf ❤️😭

sorry for all the questions dnfjsndh you don't have to answer them all!

A A A A AA A A

bruh ilysm rn /p

I had to ask @thunderholtz (co-creator) to discuss some stuff haha

Since this will be LONG long, I'm gonna do a readmore :D.

1. I discussed this with skye and they gave I to share screenshots!

**affection lol.

2. He absolutely does! It's main entrance is his office and it's activated by finger print, hidden in his "bookshelf". It leads down to a basement where Roman has his "lair". After he and Virhil have been dating a while, he inputs their finger prints as well <3

3. Because he has nanobots that he releases that disables each and every nearest camera or CCTV. He has modified boots that let's him walk on walls and also go really fast. And he travels in shadows- oh. And in his mansion, He lives completely alone, no maids or butlers or anything. He only hires them on an off day where he has no phantom engagements planned. He can easily walk in, call back his nanobots, then go to his lair and change and let his clothes soak so there won't be bloodstains.

4. He would have a penthouse but, honestly, He lives in a small mansion disconnected from the majority of Cardenia, he's surrounded by trees and it's quite a drive to get there. Roman loves it because there's fresh air and there would be no one watching him at all. He can carry out his plans and experiments without any problems.

5. Kingdom ent. Is something like Sony: It dabbles in a lot of things. It started off as a tech company but as they grew, they started to branch out into other ways of making profit and money so they're also a media company. They make tech and movies and have a news outlet.

6. Virgil knows Roman can save himself and Roman is crafty as shit and knows how to get out of any situation regardless of if he has his tech or not. Don't underestimate the supervillain, my dear. He does not lose or let his opponent win. He is no weak lamb.

7. In personal life detached from his Phantom work? His father HAHAHA- but seriously, all of his targets are the corrupt people in charge of companies like fellow CEOs, executives, etc.. He also targets Corrupt politicians as well. His aim is to eliminate the Corruption in Cardenia and to make sure it never happens, he kills the source straight up. He would give a warning and if they fail to change before then, He kills.

8. Because I love drawing pretty boys <3. And trust me, Virgil thinks the exact same but Roman thinks He's even luckier.

Thank you for your questions !!!

Dear Patterpea,

Now that I'm really using tumblr, I'm de-anonning myself.

Love where we are going with Shifter AU, from 3k to 5k to possibility of 5-6 chapters🥳. Since this is inspired from moerusai’s edit though, I wonder can shifters do partial shifts? If so to what degree? That bit about Arm’s eyes was so interesting, can he partially shift and use his shifter vision?

“I love the idea of Kinn buying Porsche and Jaguar cars to annoy him.” 🤣🤣🤣 That is most valid reason to have while making character decisions.

Hello Precious-notes!

Thank you for your earlier asks ☺️

Yes, this AU is nibbling on my brain at the moment. I'm hoping to start planning a outline in the next week. I don't think I can start the next chapter of A Stacked deck until I have this out of my system. We shall see.

Partial shifts are possible, but they aren't a good thing. A partial shift only happens when a shifter is trying to repress an involuntary shift. An involuntary shift happens when fight or flight kicks in.

This is good if your being threatened with bodily harm, but when the perceived threat needs to be dealt with words rather than force that's when a shifter will try to repress a shift. It isn't easy at all, and the partial shift hurts (I'll explain in a moment why.)

Young children tend to shift in response to high emotions. A babys first shift tends to happen at 8 to 9 months. It's quite a surprise for first time parents to find their crying baby suddenly becoming a giraffe.

If the shift is into an animal that has a significant difference to a humans senses it can cause migraines. It's basically the brain struggling with a sudden lack of input, so shifter use aids to help. Shifters with good eyesight (like arms owl form) will use glasses to help. Shifters with good hearing (like a bat) will use noise cancelling earphones that have a adjustable volume setting.

Imagine you are sat in your bedroom. The door is closed and so are your windows, the curtains are drawn tight. You can see, hear and smell your own room. Voluntary shifting is like when you open the door and the windows, you can still sense your room like before but now you can hear your parents chatting downstairs or smell the cut grass. It's 'more' to sense, but manageable.

Partial shifting is more like when you've been watching a movie on the TV and the adverts comes on but, for some reason, the volume hasn't changed but it seems to be blasting from your speakers that leaves you startled and scrambling for the remote. Except they can't turn it off, its sensory overload because it's only one of their senses have shifted. All the rest are still human. That sensory overload can feel like a knife digging into your brain, sharp and acute.

So if a shifter partially shifts, you know they are going through some shit.

I hope that explains a lil bit!

Also, yes I'm still in love with Kinn teasing Porsche with the cars. The amount of innuendos he comes up with is terrible really.

20 questions for fic writers

Thank you to @joycieillustrations for tagging me. And whomever reads this, if you want to consider this me tagging you then go for it! But here we go, here are my answers. Dear Lordy, I'd forgotten about some of these fics until I had to tot up the word count.

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

I have 25. Some completed, some... not so much.

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

Total word count is: 174,231 words.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I'm only actively writing "House of the Dragon". And actively is a strong word. Sometimes I look fondly on my "Holby City" (specifically the ship 'Berena') unfinished fics and the notes I still have and half-finished chapters, but I leave them be for now. Unless someone decides to bug me (by which I mean, offer a hand and lend an ear).

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

- Me Before You AU - a Berena retelling of the book/film. - Run And Hit - a Berena AU. - Home Now - a Berena AU. - Losing Her Would Be Infinitely More Terrifying Than Loving Her - a Berena AU. - A Fresh Page - a Berena AU.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Generally, I don't, unless it's been a mean comment or they've asked me something specifically. Otherwise, I know I won't reply to all and so I get anxious about responding to any! And I'm British - you try giving a British person a compliment, you see how they find it!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

From my completed works? Shoot. I'm not sure if I'm the best judge of that. Most of them do include angst. But if they're angsty multi-chapters, then they're going to end on a happier note. And if they're an angsty one-shot, then the angst isn't just contained to the ending, it starts from the first word!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Looking at finished works... I have written some fluff.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have done on one of my fics. That was "Deep Waters". That was not fun at all, but equally, I had some really lovely comments on that fic as well. Moral of the story - don't write Daemon Targaryen in anything but a good light and certainly don't have Rhaenys act independently and with emotion. Woe betide you if you do! ;)

9. Do you write smut?

Nope.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't yet.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I bounce ideas off of people and get input but I've never strictly "co-written" a fic. I'd welcome it though. It might get something finished!

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I enjoy many a ship but it's Corlys and Rhaenys that occupy my brain presently. I'm pretty sure though, if you pricked my interest again, that Berena would not be far away. They were a very, very good ship.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

How long do you have? In more seriousness, any and all of my Holby ones. But the most recent of those was "My Tears Richocet", which I did plan out quite a bit, but got derailed by the end of Holby City and the resolution of the plotline that I was re-writing. But I still love the idea; Bernie Wolfe was rescued three months after being declared dead, and returning to Holby, confronting everything she left behind and trying to not love the woman who rejected her and yet mourned for her. But the one most easily finished is probably another Holby fic; "Someone You Love" as it was a remix between two episodes, so it has a set ending, I know where the plot is going, it's outlined somewhere on my laptop and would only be a chapter more. Two at the most.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I have writing strengths?

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Finishing things! Describing things! Overthinking things!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I have used some High Valyrian. Very, very minimal High Valryian. I also have a very clever, wonderful friend, to whom I can go to for advice on High Valyrian. But that's it. No other languages. It's not something I seek out.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Doctor Who. Wayy back when, on fanfiction.net.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Oh, gosh! I really love some of the "House of the Dragon" stuff I've written, simply because I've adored looking at the political aspect of it all and just generally trying to think out the consequences of various changes. Others, from "Holby", I love but they are rarely finished so I will have to say "losing her would be infinitely more terrifying than loving her" - only because it's complete (woo hoo) but also because it was quite a turning point for me. I'd never written something so action-packed, that needed to have a specific tone and pace. I was rather chuffed I could pull it off and it was well received.

Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion

Devotional for November 3rd

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. - Philippians 4:8

Insight

What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions. Paul tells us to program our minds with thoughts that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

Challenge

Do you have problems with impure thoughts and daydreams? Examine what you are putting into your mind through television, books, conversations, movies, and magazines. Replace harmful input with wholesome material. Above all, read God's Word and pray. Ask God to help you focus your mind on what is good and pure. It takes practice, but it can be done.

Encanto For Funsies Game by @lunamadrigal

1. If you lived in Encanto, what job would you have?

2. What ice cream flavors do you think would exist in Encanto if ice cream were plausible?

3. For writers: Something you wish readers knew?

Hmm, writing takes SO much time and effort that it's (for me, at least) a constant battle of will. That's why, dear readers, please be mindful when leaving comments on someone's hard work. Concerning WAACH though, I live off your input and ideas (dynamics you'd like to see explored, small plot points, etc.)! They really help me cover certain blind spots I might have and are very inspiring.

4. For readers: Something you wish writers knew?

5. Any Encanto pet peeves? Can be canon or fic related.

6. Who’s your favorite OC and who do they belong to?

7. And your favorite OC design?

8. Smut in fics or keeping it Gen?

9. Do you have a favorite underrated Encanto fic writer?

Definitely @ambidextrous-space-samurai ! I'd love to make some fanart for your fic "Benediction // Malediction" one day. It's just wonderful. WON-DER-FUL!

10. Pretend you’re Bruno for a second and you just stubbed your toe GO!

11. A song that would be on Camilo’s playlist?

12. You’ve gotta kick one canon character out of Encanto. Sorry.

Ugh, that's easy! I'd kick out the donkey guy (Something Rendon) because in that one line he had in the movie, he already appeared to be lazy, rude, stupid, and useless.

13. Tag an Encanto artist that is fueling the fandom cause they deserve a hug.

Morality plays

Dear Caroline:

I was a bit surprised by your stating that the best fictional moralities are like this. Does the adjective imply that in the case of non-fictional moral choices you adopt a different stance, or merely that the above mentioned moral issues are simply the ones you enjoy encountering the most while consuming fiction? Of course, this doesn't have to be a case of exclusive or, as it could perfectly well be both.

Still, my intuition is that you share this mindset for your real-world decision making, and it can be gleaned in texts of yours where you preach the virtues of doing the hard, the unpleasant and the difficult in a sort of secular ascesis and training of the spirit. At the same time, you also drop in occasional references to your supposed laziness and not living up to the most stringent practices of the Ideal EA.

Preachy and ethical literature has long been unpopular in the contemporary world, but perhaps you are acquainted with the morality play, a genre of early Tudor drama which usually featured 'embodied' virtues and vices, angels and demons, all struggling for the soul of the generic human character. This is actually a very old and medievally flavored type of writing, inaugurated by Prudentius' Psychomachia and flowing along a broad allegorical river or labyrinth through the Ordo Virtutum, The Castle of Perseverance, Everyman and The Pilgrim's Progress. And yet in transmuted form, it still manages to rear its (not necessarily) ugly head in both high and low genres - an example of the first could be Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, where Settembrini and Naphta fight for the soul and mind of Hans Castorp and embody liberal versus reactionary/socialist worldviews, and of the second, the rationalist fanfics you so like to read.

A more secularist view of these moral conundrums would perhaps tie them with arguments from evolutionary psychology, and the tension members of the human species have between the instincts of self-preservation and self-sacrifice, egoism and altruism. We are somewhere in the middle of a spectrum that runs from bees and ants, all too willing to let themselves die for the greater good, to snakes and some other unsocial species that hardly ever collaborate even with lovers and offspring. And probably closer to the latter than the former, which would explain why so much indoctrination and stern social rules and punishments are necessary to get most people to behave.

We could also talk about moral luck, the ways in which morality plays a devious game of chess with chance and generates from similar inputs vastly different judgemental outputs. Myself, I'd rather not be put to the test (Lead us not into temptation) lest I should fall short, a feeling that must be tormenting you greatly on the inside these days, when fear of the future might retreat just enough to allow for this sort of reflections. Even if you fell, remember that despair is a much greater sin, and whatever the οἱ πολλοί might think or say, I trust in your innate goodness, and believe in some secular form of Romans 8:28 - “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”. You are a lovely candle shining in present darkness, Caroline, and I am sure you are worth the hope.

Quote:

Now I shall sing the second kingdom there where the soul of man is cleansed, made worthy to ascend to Heaven.

Here from the dead let poetry rise up, O sacred Muses, since I am yours. Here let Calliope arise...

Dante, Purgatorio
