CALLING ALL FANFICTION AUTHORS!
Tumblr media
please reblog this. i've talked about this twice before, but obviously not everyone has seen it. i am calling for anyone who writes fanfiction or posts about a certain game/show/universe in any connective manner to please, please- PLEASE, copy this memo below comprising links to supporting palestine, education on the situation in gaza, and a must-need for those who engage in TLOU tumblr; links regarding the creators (neil druckmann) zionism, and how the plot of tlou2 is based on the israeli occupation of palestine. i don't care if what you write seems "insignificant" or "small" in the grouping of larger fics. no. everything that is not related to palestine in any form NEEDS these links. because, when we stray away from reblogging, or writing up our own posts in support of palestine/sharing journalists stories/etc. even for a SINGLE piece of writing, we could be missing people who are unaware (which, shouldn't be the case atp, but..) and fucking especially because in these fandoms, fics are the most popular thing. not reblogs about palestine, unfortunately; there are so many fanfiction accounts who very clearly don't give a fuck about the whole situation, seeping in silence, posting fics during strikes, not taking accountability for it now, so on and so forth. please, for the love of all that is good- CALL THEM OUT! people gaining hundreds of notes, tens of reblogs, supportive comments on a post that completely disregards what is happening SO BOLDLY right now, should irk you. i swear, if i see one more fuckass "i didn't know!" apology from an author who is CONSTANTLY on tumblr, REGULARLY posting fanfiction, i'm going to fucking lose it. if you are on tumblr to begin with, being this active- you have time to reblog. actually, educating yourself and reblogging is way quicker than writing up fanfiction of any length. are you fucking kidding me? you are laughable. comical, not real, and i have nay an ounce of respect for you. ever. but besdies that; the memo. i want everyone to copy this, or make something similar. put this above your summaries, authors note, whatever comes before the writing. every post you make should link back to supporting palestine, cause you never know how many eyes it will reach. it could change a lot of things. on pc, i believe copying it completely will preserve the links, but i'm not sure if mobile will. again. do whatever you can to add it. don't be lazy. put this in ur masterlists/navigation too.
for all fanfiction authors:
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸
READ: this account stands with palestine, and so— i require everyone who interacts to educate themselves, and support/donate. READ THESE; 1 and 2, HELP HERE, BOYCOTT. silence is complicity, do not scroll past this.
for tlou fanfiction authors:
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸
READ: this account stands with palestine, and so— i require everyone who interacts to educate themselves, and support/donate. READ THESE; 1 and 2, HELP HERE, BOYCOTT. silence is complicity, do not scroll past this.
DO NOT BUY THE REMASTER, TLOU2, TLOU1, OR ANY GAME FROM NAUGHTY DOG! neil druckmann (the creator) is a zionist. PLEASE READ THIS. AND REBLOG THIS.
you may add what is necessary, i wanted to keep it short for attention span sakes, and to avoid people skipping it entirely, and so on. i may edit these, fix up anything, but again, if you're using them you can edit them however. as long as you are linking anything in general, that is what matters. thank you, love from aestra. from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸

Guess who's on TV!
(Well, iPlayer until the 15th, that's when it airs on BBC One)
Hope Street episode 3.11, let's go!
Tumblr media
First of all, I'd say they did me dirty with this picture, but my university ID was exponentially worse.
Onto the spoilers!
Tumblr media
Our boy Matthew has arrived in Port Devine, looking a little concerned.
Tumblr media
For good reason when he's suddenly confronted by this lad, Dara.
Tumblr media
Ah, a fight which Matthew escapes by slipping out of his coat. (Pretty sure this is the take where we ripped it practically in two...)
Dara's questioned, he claims he's never met Matthew in his life. Hmm.
Police do some investigating (and some character stuff) before Dara makes his way to Matthew's mother (Louise)'s house to have a wee showdown.
Tumblr media
They both in a gang and Matthew's stolen a gun. Dara needs to get it back...
Tumblr media
Matthew's nay having it. "This is my way out. If they want the gun back, they have to let me go."
Tumblr media
Another fight. The gun goes off! (Poor Pete and I were convinced after take one to put some padding on. My arm looks bulky because I'm strapped up with squishy stuff and allergic to plasters so it has to be in a sock)
Tumblr media
Thank fuck no one was hurt. Dara gets the hell out of dodge -
Tumblr media
Leaving Matthew to contemplate his mortality. And other people's, but mostly his own.
Tumblr media
"Oh fuck, my bosses are gonna find me and murder me, oh shit. I'm far too young and pretty to die!"
Tumblr media
Time for Matthew and Louise to follow Dara's example and get the fuck out of here.
The police are now on the Halbridges' trail, but they discover the phone tracking them and leave it in a field.
Meanwhile, Dara's been arrested for drug dealing. He refuses to talk, clearly nervous.
Tumblr media
Ah, what's this on Dara's phone? So Matthew and Dara have been in a relationship for over a year now.
(The poor intimacy coordinator having to walk me through my just about second kiss in my entire life. And the third. And the fourth. And the fifth... Pete is a very sweet person. Made it all funny.) ("Relax your hand, Bodh. Just relax it. Open - open your fingers, just let me position your hand.")
They're both working for the same gang. Matthew was given the gun to hold onto by their bosses' and freaked out, running away with the weapon. His plan was to trade his freedom for the gun, but Dara was sent to get it back for the Brazier Brothers, notorious drug runners and gang leaders.
Tumblr media
These guys.
Unfortunately, now Dara's had to tell the Brazier Brothers that Matthew is refusing. They're going to kill Matthew and then Dara. Oh no.
But Dara has an idea where they might be hiding.
Tumblr media
At the caravan there's a standoff between the police and Halbridges. But when the Braizer Brothers are arrested, they're convinced to come out.
(Side note, my favourite picture of me, ever.)
Tumblr media
Oh no, the Halbridges are going to jail and Matthew's regretting his life choices.
Tumblr media
Matthew walked off to his new life inside a jail cell.
The end.
(This is where Niall Wright accidently sublexed my shoulder. To be fair to the man, I'd never mentioned it and he took his finger sliding in-between bone like a champ)
Tumblr media
Look, it's me!! I was on TV! Bit sad they cut pretty much all the uses of SSE (weren't allowed BSL because we still had to speak the lines), but I got to be queer and Deaf so that's pretty nice.

Birthday - EF Anil Bhandarkar Tuesday, 14 November ... birthday wishes on your birthday from the entire Ef family .. love ❤️
.. so engrossed with the freedom of time that it came up to the hour of 4 am and still the body asked questions .. to which I had no adequate responses ..
that be the temperament of all questioning and query and inquiry .. set up in the language of the British in the gone days .. but the brutality of its intent has ever been the succour of indiscriminate continuity ..
ask and ye shall receive another ask .. not a yea or a nay .. a receive of an ask .. the resolve of diplomacticalus calculus trigno .. the finding of derivatives and integral of functions ..
what be the functions .. what the derivatives shall ever be in the unknown Black Hole of endless universe in infinitimus .. beyond and beyond and beyond ..
for each day hour and time , there is acceptance that there is no end to endless ..
close the chapter .. blogomaestra and get to the repair .. even there the pair is the essential ..
🤣🤣🤣
the endless world of the pair .. NO NO NO .. the lessenned world of the pair ..
the PAIR ..
the non functional life without the PAIR ..
No PAIR .. no repair .. or repairition

https://olderthannetfic.tumblr.com/post/737064447605096448/i-really-wish-my-countries-wannabe-queer#notes
To all the poor anglophones who feel personally offended that my languages does not do well with words starting with X in this case neopronouns, I deeply apologize from the bottom of my heart that my language doesn't use English pronunciations. How dare we not cater to the English speaking world? Afterall, they did their best to make the entire world speak it, how mean of us. And that because of that you felt so deeply offended that we find the use of x-based pronouns in our language to be complete shit because they simply do not work with our spoken language.
Foolish was it of me to expect people to infer the fact that I was indeed not speaking of the English language when I mentioned the issues with the flow of the language, and how people actually affected have at large found their own pronouns, -none of which include the X-pronouns because they simply are not that well suited for our languages phonetics nor even the writing-, and the fact that I mentioned "My country" and "the flow of the language" which could have been a simple clue that I'm not speaking of an English speaking country. Nay instead you built a straw-man and got angry because you really don't like remembering that the rest of the world exists. For anyone who's not so super special and does realize humans exist outside the English speaking world. THANK YOU FOR NOTICING! Geez.
I honest to God should've expected to see some people with those bottom of the barrel arguments, because those are so similar to the arguments the dreaded "my countries wannabe "queer representatives"" use constantly, while ignoring how people using NEUTRAL PRONOUNS actually decide their pronouns. (Which you'd call neopronouns, because they're neither male nor female nor objectifying, so NEUTRAL)
As to how the pronouns like Xie/Xir sound, you would have to specifically pronounce the X like you would when reciting the alphabet, then leave a pause, and then you have a choice of about 4-5 sounds you can just throw on. There is basically literally no way to use any of the X-pronouns because the letter X isn't used like that in our language, and the combination would just lead to random sound thrown in at the end.
There is a reason why languages don't all share the universal same spelling for pronouns, because languages have their own rules on writing, pronunciation, phonetics and how to understand all that. Why would you ever assume this won't also apply to neopronouns/neutral pronouns anyway? Ok, then your neopronounsin the Anglosphere are X-based, do you really think those will work in every language and will be useable in every other language? Or are you just so used to everyone being anglophone you never considered that some languages will just not be able to use them? Do you also think everyone in this world uses the term "neopronouns"? Just asking while we're at it.

I was alerted to Trigun Fanfiction Appreciation Week! I have recs! It's Cinco de Mayo and I am full of tacos. Let's roll! Roleswap The Purple Hyacinth bouquet of stories by @somereaderinblue Summary: A universe in which Vash was born as the first Independent Plant and it is Tesla and Nai who are the twin-siblings. Other characters switch roles as well - Luida and Rem, Livio and Wolfwood, each retaining their unique selves. The symbolism of the purple hyacinth and little details like Tesla's love of lemon-cake really make this. Tesla is a rougher kind of heroic desperado, being more nuanced, rougher and less absolutist than Vash, making for an amazing ride. (The first tale, centered on Luida and little Vash, though, will break your heart). Canon-typical violence and abuses of children and science. General AU Sun, Moon and Stars by @tragic-unpaired-electron Summary: At a crucial moment, Rem does something crazy to save baby Tesla and the entire universe changes. What follows is the saga of the Saverem family - mothers, daughter, sons, a more hospitable planet, but not without social and political challenges for Plants to gain legal personhood. This had me hooked like a thrill ride, beginning to end. One of my absolute favorites in the fandom. Each and every character has a realistic, organic change stemmed from this one pinpoint. (Nai doesn't go genocidal for example, but has points where he could have gone dark and has reasons to choose a better path). Treat yourself and read this! Canon-typical violence. Conrad being particularly a bastard. For my fellow Rem-enjoyers Out Cold by Miricals Summary: Vash, Wolfwood and the girls find themselves sheltering in an old crashed escape ship they found with coldsleep capsules still running on half-dead solar power. Guess who they find. Some sadness with unnamed characters' deaths, otherwise no warnings. Accidents Happen by exai_lostjune Summary: Set in the 1998 anime / first anime only. Rem finds out that crewmate Steve has been beating her kids, not just being bigoted in speech. She beats his ass with a crowbar. That's it, that's the fic. Little Plant Twins get protected by their Mama Bear, Steve gets what he deserves. In-Series / Main Timeframe Let the Ransomed be Free by SpiritusRex Summary: Wolfwood and Meryl impersonate a pair of rich-bitches to get into a auction attended by all of the planet's worst billionaires. Their mission? To find an extract a certain Vash the Stampede, who is up on the auction block as a slave to the highest bidder. Shenanigans ensue. Canon-typical violence / un-fun use of a cattle-prod on our poor Vash. Just Follow My Yellow Light (And Ignore All Those Big Warning Signs) by haveloved Summary: In the aftermath of Vash getting hurt, Wolfwood notices that Meryl hasn't eaten. Milly usually helps her remember to eat. Just a little story about self-care and others-care. Canon-typical violence. WTF? Aaaah! Why did someone write this? / are people going to look at me weird for reading this? Aaaaaaaah! Horror. Sin Eaters by @dragonofeternal Summary: There is an old tradition Vash read of once wherein a ritual meal is consumed to absolve the sins of the deceased. Livio, however, was Wolfwood's first friend and does not intend on letting Vash dine alone. BIG WARNING HERE! This was written for Trigun Body Horror Week. NOT for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach! While I think this is the best story to come out of Trigun Body Horror Week... it is... just that. This one's for gore-fiends - outdoes canon.

So I finished Fallout on Prime… spoilers below.
I saw what everyone was talking about with Shady Sands and it’s a bummer. After that I saw New Vegas was in shambles… I’ll admit I’m not happy that the whole schema of things has been squashed and any choices we made in game for our New Vegas playthroughs now feel overruled.
But you gotta admit, even if you hate it, you’ll be back for more just to know what happened.
I’m gonna look at this entire series as it is - great action, beautiful sets and graphical design, good dialogue, lovable characters, and a treat to watch after a long day at work. It was great to see the game I daydreamed about and wrote fanfiction about as a kid turn into a reality on the screen.
Yays:
Vault Tec was absolutely filthy about the end of the world - including Betty, Hank/Henry, Buds’ Buds, etc. and I loved it.
I loved all of the characters equally and how they all received a degree of interpersonal development throughout the game.
The set designs and graphical effects were amazing. I loved that all the weapons looked like in game weapons and they stayed true to the era/retro design that Fallout displays. I loved (and want) all of the Vault Tec propaganda and merchandise. The vaults looked great and very believable. I think the power armor was my favorite to see.
Nays:
Shady Sands, New Vegas, eventual ghoulification, eventually turning feral if not for drugs, Fiends being cannibals instead of drug junkies and other nuances that feel predetermined for the audience that wasn’t previously explored in the games.
Robert House does not sound like that…
Cooper Howard’s family fell off the plot map. If it hadn’t been renewed for season 2 to explain more, I’m content thinking his wife is in a cryopod somewhere and his daughter was evaporated by the initial blast or Cooper outlived her in the wastes because of his ghoulification. However, at the end of the show, he’s wondering where his family is so they’re definitely out there… somewhere…
Small itch: Did anyone else think this would’ve been a cool opportunity to introduce something completely new like a Post-War horse into the series? In the first episode, Cooper fled the bombings with his trusty steed… so how badass would it have been for Coop in all his western glory, outfitted in that ragged duster and Stetson, to march the wastes and run down his bounties atop a nasty ghoulified horse?
Overall the show was fun, action-packed, stayed true to the design and era of Fallout while introducing multiple storylines and wonderful characters across different factions and karma scales. I’ll be thinking of it as a love letter to the Fallout universe instead of definitive lore.
Let me know what you think of it in the comments below if you like!

fic rec friday 18
welcome to the eighteenth fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.
1. A Kind Of Cosmic Joke by @eatdirt
And it's not like it's a big deal. It's decidedly not a big deal. Really it's hardly a deal at all. It's just that, maybe, in the trick of the light, if you squint and turn your head just so, Keith is…
Keith is big.
nothing in the entire history of voltron legendary defender, nay the history of voltron entirely, is funnier than the moment where lance called keith grizzled. he absolutely deserves to be clowned on for that for eternity, even in modern aus, like this fic. lance freaking out about keith getting bigger is funny in every universe in every way and this fic nails it lol
2. only a hippopotamus will do by perfchan
Lance walks into the kitchen and stops. Physically stops, the cup in his hand that’s in need of a refill completely forgotten.
He turns, slowly. Raises an eyebrow. Are those...cookies? He blinks.
Yep. He leans in closer to inspect. Sugar cookies in the shape of pine trees. Green icing, mostly, with the stars on top slathered on in yellow. Well. They’re sort of messy, more like green and yellow blobs, actually. But that’s clearly the intention. Sprinkles for ornaments.
Christmas cookies.
There’s a whole plate of them---a paper plate, stacked high with handmade cookies, wrapped in plastic wrap---and they just randomly appeared. Right here on his kitchen counter.
Lance huffs out little sigh and shakes his head. Maybe mutters something under his breath. But he doesn’t give it much thought once he’s left the kitchen. Afterall, his perpetually cranky, sourfaced roommate basically lives to do weird shit to annoy him. Or something. Lance has found that living with Keith means one thing: expect the unexpected.
And everything tends to get a little crazier when the holidays roll around.
sweetheart keith! overdramatic lance! yes yes yes! and i mean overdramatic lance in this fic lmfao he is epitome dramaqueen bisexual. this fic kills me tho bc for starters its a modern au, and i fckn love modern aus, but further still it is an au wherein lance gets keith as a roommate entirely bc he finds keith hot and his smile breathtaking. what a dumbass nerd. love him
3. Trying Times by @shyfoxes
Keith comes back Hot and Lance has a crisis on the bottom bunk.
u know those fics that make u fan ur face a little? not necessarily bc it’s explicit or anything but bc its just so swoony and romantic and shit and ur embarrassed about how affected u are?? that’s this fic.
4. As If by @surveycorpsjean
The five times Lance was his impulse control, and the one time he wasn't.
y’all know me with 5+1s. i love this one in particular tho bc keith is such a prick lmao. i love when keith is rough and scowly and doesnt handle other people well and can’t emote to save his life. i love when he loves deeply and endlessly with his whole heart but in the least conventional possible way, and i love fics where lance slowly learns to recognise the strange ways in which keith says i-love-you and this fic kills that
5. A Human Thing by @xirayn
Lance comes through a wormhole as a woman. It doesn't change much. aka Lance is gender fluid so getting gender bent by space magic only presents one problem, which turns out not to be Keith.
“Lance, can we just talk? After that you can go back to avoiding me.” Lance scoffed even as her eyes remained stubbornly forward. “I’m not avoiding you.” “Then what are you doing?” That earned him a glare, which would have been annoying if not for how happy Keith was to have her looking at him again. “I’m being a good partner and giving you space while I'm not your type.” Keith crossed his arms and met her eyes with a glare of his own, brow furrowed and lips a tight line. “Not my type?” Lance let out a long sigh of exasperation. “Female, Keith. I don't want you to feel like you have to force yourself to be attracted to women just because your boyfriend currently is one.”
genderfluid lance loml! this fic explores that entire concept so so well, even with the complications of extablished klance and team dynamics and UGH this fic is genuinely one of my faves. the slow trickle to the reveal near the end was planted there the whole time, but i was so caught up that i didnt realise it so when it finally came to light i was gagged!!
that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

Hi, I’m the one who asked for a fluff request yesterday. And, you told me to request on this blog.
would it be possible to request for a fluff ares x reader where he has a massive crush on the reader but he’s too shy to admit it bcs she’s just so perfect and she’s sought after by many gods. Lucky for him, she has a crush on him as well?
And once again, I apologize if it’s too much to ask :)
Hi! I did make a couple of changes to the scenario, but I hope you will like this rendition of Ares with a haganzeuka!fem!reader :)
Special thanks to @radioactivesweet for bouncing off ideas to me and @yellow-snark for being honest with their feedback!
Tumblr media
Ares adored Aphrodite. From the moment he set his gaze upon her that fateful day in Mount Olympus, they were fated to be together. Love and War, forever entwined even when their tumultuous relationship had been fractured over and over for centuries, finding comfort in the arms of others. But now…well, Ares was tired. He had long since grown weary of the goddess’ vanity and manipulations, especially the former.
Why would she still get into an argument with Athena, Freya, or any other goddess on who is the most beautiful being in the universe, he had no idea. Had his opinion not been enough? He wooed her with gifts, sang praises of her loveliness and dedicated any victories in his battles to her.  And yet it still wasn’t enough for her, who wanted the entire world, nay, the universe to kneel at her feet. 
Henceforth, he and Aphrodite were no longer romantically involved. Strangely enough, instead of isolating himself from the Greek pantheon to lament the loss of Aphrodite’s affection, his sorrow was soon forgotten when his armorer [First Name] arrived at the steps of his temple, asking if she may enter. She was here to deliver his spear and the new custom-made gauntlets that Ares ordered to replace his old ones. 
As an apprentice who worked in Hephaestus’ workshop, [First Name] was allowed to have the other gods as clients but never to aid him in his projects without explicit permission. Even after all of these centuries, Aphrodite’s husband is still a picky artist. 
The war god immediately allowed her to come inside, instructing his guest to leave her offering of plum wine in front of his statue before following him inside further into the temple. The wind chimes attached to her wide brimmed hat created a pleasant ‘ching’ sound as she walked down the marble hallway in her sandaled feet. It made [First Name] less…intimidating. 
Her fashion sense wasn’t horrid per se, though she did appear intimidating with the lower half of her face concealed by a bronze mask shaped in the muzzle of a Chinese guardian dog. Her [Hair Color] tresses were either pulled back and tucked under a black handkerchief or let loose because she had been too focused on her craft that she forgot to take care of herself again. 
Although Ares had expected the armorer to immediately leave once he was satisfied with his equipment, she stayed with him for a bit longer. She did not talk much; she was more of a listener, and she listened to him talk about Aphrodite, then rant about other things until he saw Apollo’s chariot ride across the blue hazy skies. He apologized profusely for taking up her time, but [First Name] brushed it off with a small smile and said to contact her again if he needed anything else done for him or his men before exiting the temple. 
It was after the armorer left that Ares noticed a cluster of pretty stones sitting right next to the offering. He didn’t know why or how…but the war god supposed that was when he began falling for her. 
Like everyone else in Olympus.
But this time, he had an advantage over his competition. Ares knew what she liked and disliked, even what day of the week when Hephaestus' workshop was not too busy to drop in for a surprise visit...only to discover that his sweet little armorer had an incredibly short temper as he did.
“HOW DARE YOU LOSE YOUR SWORD, YOU FOOL?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO LOOK FOR THE CAVE THAT POSSESS AN EXTREMELY DURABLE ORE, WHICH MIGHT PREVENT YOUR SWORD FROM BREAKING AFTER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME?!  FOUR MONTHS OF SEARCHING, GONE TO WASTE! THAT’S IT! DIE! DIE TEN THOUSAND TIMES AND REFLECT ON YOUR ACTIONS!!” [First Name] roared, [Eye Color] orbs glowing in fury as she chased after the terrified client around the workshop with a cleaving knife, ignoring everything and everyone else around her. 
Including him.
Ares sighed softly, glancing down at the bouquet and the bag of sweets he was carrying. Perhaps he should have gotten mitarashi dango instead of cupcakes? She loved sweets, but which one would calm her down long enough for him to profess his desire to court her?

Some Slightly More Coherent Thoughts about Void Paradox
Riveting title, I know, but this is the quality content I'm sure... 50 of you signed up for? When the fuck...? How are there so many of you?? And in spite of that title, this post is still long as fuck
Anyways I finished Void Paradox and it sure made me feel a certain way. [Cut to footage of me literally screaming anytime Laurance showed emotion in the series]. Gotta say, as a long time Laurance fan, this is really nice to have. I've been going on my tirades about how Jess ruined Laurance for the sake of Aaron, and how Laurance never really bounced back from this character assassination, but I wasn't entirely right. He sort of bounced back?
Well, we got this. I still would have liked Laurance in Love-Love Paradise but I guess I'll take him in this series. And honestly, it's the best Laurance content I've gotten that isn't fan content since... well, since I first watched the show back in 2015 when I was a literal fetus. Every time after I've gone back and watched as Laurance got written poorly from honestly really early episodes sometimes (looking at you Episode 65), and had to deal with the unfortunate truth that he was essentially unimportant to the story Jess decided to tell with both her series, despite being the main character of one of them.
It's so refreshing to have quality Laurance content, and we got a variety of it in this show. He's so expressive, so alive, so emotional. I've always loved Laurance because surprise surprise, the men in my life weren't always the most emotionally vulnerable, so I latched onto fictional men who were as a coping mechanism! Yayyy! And Laurance has always been a very emotionally vulnerable character, at least in the beginning. It's part of the tragedy that is his character arc in Season 2. That Laurance is usually vulnerable, that he's the one who's always willing to talk about his emotions, but the calling is making it harder to open up, and the world has only become crueler to men like him who dare to feel too much.
Wow I just keep sliding into depressing content in this post, I'm trying to praise Laurance's writing in this series. Because it's good. I have my problems with Void Paradox as a whole, but as a showing for my favorite character in the entire Aphverse, a chance at redemption, it's fantastic. As I said Laurance is so expressive in this series, largely thanks to Sebastian Todd being an absolutely phenomenal voice actor who clearly knows and cares about this character. His performance is absolutely excellent and a great high note for this character to go off on.
I cannot emphasize how much I adore every little thing about Laurance's portrayal. The flirtiness, the smug bastard energy, the very sincere and open care, that one scene where he gets super embarrassed and then whimpers that I haven't listened to like eighteen times. The whole thing is great. His dynamic with this alternate version of Aphmau is so good, it's so great to see him bounce off of other characters. I just love it so much.
That scene where he realizes that he's in a similar scenario to the Nether and literally instantly jumps to "If it comes down to it, let me sacrifice myself," I SCREAMED AT THIS. The whole series whenever he angsts over his old world I scream, but that line really hit me. Fuck whatever you say about Laurmau in every universe, the universal truth of Laurmau, nay the universal truth of Laurance is this;
"I would sacrifice myself so you could live in every universe."
That's Laurance! That's Laurance with literally anyone you want!! This is the best characterization Laurance has ever gotten. It's consistent with his character, and I love the fact that Mod Aphmau doesn't even let him finish his consideration of self-sacrifice, she just shuts it down and it's a great contrast to what Laurance is used to. I adore how that's what he jumps to, I adore the fact that he's as clueless as I am about the lore this season, I love the rivals esque thing he's got going on with Jaiden, that was fun. Lotta potential there. This was just a good time. I cannot emphasize how delightful Laurance was in this series. How his delightful presence is the most enjoyable thing in the series, and a literal blessing unto us all.
Wasn't it nice to feel good about an Aphmau series for like.. two minutes. Anyways here's the part where I get a little salty with Jess, as per usual. I'm not going to go too in depth on my problems with Void Paradox as a story because it's mercifully short and a lot of my complaints did come from a standpoint of not knowing any of the lore of Mod Mod World which might have hindered my full ability to understand the larger story.
I can however get VERY salty about the fact that I didn't even know Void Paradox was a thing that had Laurance in it until 2024!! It came out in 2018! How did this happen? Well the answer is very simple, the cause is the bane of my very existence. My Street Season 6 When Angels Fall. [I am shaking with rage]
I know you've likely read how much I can tear into season 2 Episode 95, and oh my Irene can I tear into that episode, but there's a similar but differently visceral emotion When Angels Fall makes me feel. Let's call it a sort of divine rage. And now, I have one more reason to hate it. Because Void Paradox, a series with actual quality content, was released at the same time as whatever the fuck that was, meaning it never had a chance.
For a bit of personal context, I briefly became active in the Aphmau fanbase when this season came out and during the time leading up to it. I had seen every season of My Street, and despite not being the biggest fan of where Jess took the series, I liked a lot of the characters and was invested in where they would go from here. I was knee deep in the My Street trenches when the many many different bombs dropped. Melissa dying but then she didn't but maybe she did and I literally spent hours arguing with people on this, Ein is turning everyone evil, there's a doomsday device, forever potion nonsense is happening, Travis' dad is evil maybe, Aaron is going insane, the multiverse is falling apart, and then Jess just killed the best character in the entire series, dare I say the entire Aphverse, dare I say the entire universe of existence as we know it--
It was a lot. And in all the chaos Void Paradox just... came out. It came out right before episode 9 of When Angels Fall came out. And anyone else who was there during the war... they know what that episode did to us. What it did to me. I wasn't the same after that episode came out. I felt like I had lost a part of myself. Something I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to get back...
And as a result, I and a lot of people didn't see Void Paradox. Looking at the numbers, Void Paradox struggled to get above 1 million viewers for most episodes, while the lowest viewed episode of When Angels Fall sits at a cozy 2.9 million as an established series. Void Paradox is objectively better as a series and deserves to have a second season. We deserve to explore more of the weird ideas Jess clearly had while making it, we deserve to know if a cure can be found, and we, or maybe just me and I'm feeling selfish here, deserve to know if Laurance is okay.
Jess has already taken one comfort character away from me. I'll be damned if she takes another.

i cant STAND them /affectionate
vash is GRUMPY about NAI going after WOO SR., after nai was devoted to him his ENTIRE life, AND probably offered to be his one and only and take care of his EVERY SINGLE need, no questions asked--
he hears that and instead makes nai play SECOND FIDDLE and dates WOO JR. instead, who is a DEAD BEAT (/affectionate, once again,) and who i'm sure vash is ALWAYS talking about
he puts nai through ALL of this, and to TOP IT ALL OFF, they hang out near woo sr. who is just BEGGING for it......
...as SOON as he loses an INKLING of nai's attention, vash is GRUMPY? and can't accept that nai is just Like This.
can't stand them. thinking about vash low-key being manipulative with his kindness and good nature and adorableness kinda gets to me. needs love as much as he gives it.
vash for the very first time in all like 20 something years of his life experiencing something nai already had when he was like. 8, which is the unbelievable concept that hes no longer the sole center of his twins universe??? how could this have happened

Ship meme spam, sexy edition
1. What was their first kiss like?
Lots of pent-up passion here, folks; rough and needy and maybe a little bloody
2. Where were they the first time having sex?
To be determined, though it takes a little bit to even get to this point. (Who has fewer neighbors?)
3. Who's louder?
OH MY GOD BOTH OF THEM
4. Who wakes up first?
Domon is up with the sun
5. Favorite form of foreplay?
Flirty sparring
6. Who performs/receives oral more often?
...that’s a good question. It probably evens out down the line, but at first Domon probably gets blown more often
7. What kink they most often use?
Sensation play casts a pretty wide net
8. Who more often tries new things?
Chibodee’s more often the one with the ideas (though sometimes these things just happen)
9. If they had to include a third person who would it be?
Yeah okay, you think they'd slow down enough for a third?
10. Favorite toy?
You know, the nice thing about dating a trans guy, if you’re in the mood to get dicked down, you can pick the dick
11. How careful are they about using protection?
I'd say a hysterectomy is pretty thorough protection for some things, and monogamy covers the rest
12. General feelings on sex in the relationship
Very intense and a little spiritual actually (‘communicating with your fists’ extends to other physicality, not to mention the Shuffle Alliance empathy)
13. Sexuality?
Chibodee’s bi as fuck. Domon is uhhh new to this, give him time
14. Position Preferences?
Definitely not a static thing, tbh, though I guess face to face makes things more intense
15. Kinks?
Aside from the aforementioned? Edging and overstimulation are pretty up there, and it's pretty common for them to not even get fully undressed
16. Dirty little secrets?
Maybe how they handled long-distance, ahem
17. Best time ever?
Maybe the time they first discovered overstimulation (and, uh, in related news, that on good days Chibodee is capable of multiple orgasms)
18. Worst time ever?
You ever get a concussion from sex?
19. One thing they’ve never told?
Chibodee has never given anyone a straight answer about any previous experience and probably never will
20. Most exotic place they’ve done it at?
I'm sure there's better/worse, but what I can tell you is that Chibodee's dressing room has absolutely seen a few quickies
21. Number of sexual partners?
That entirely depends on how far Domon got with Rain. And as aforementioned, nobody knows whether Chibodee is a slut or a virgin or what, and he's not telling.
22. What they do after sex?
Honestly, that’s a workout, they’re fuckin starving
23. Stamina?
You’d better believe it (something something twelve rounds joke)
24. What gets them in the mood?
You know, it doesn't take much
25. What is their mood-killer?
Oh my god do you know how hard it is to get uninterrupted alone time sometimes, seriously, some days it's like people/calls/the universe time things exactly to derail the mood
26. Most sensitive spot?
Ass and spine for Domon, jaw and hips for Chibodee, and honestly lips are a very good bet for both of them. (For a different kind of sensitive, so to speak, go for hands.)
27. One thing your partner should never do?
Okay look, being competitive is one thing, but cross the line into humiliation and there will be issues
28. Threesome or an orgy?
Say what now? Look, I don't know what you've heard about Chibodee's relationship with the gals, but that is a great big not-on-your-life
29. How adventurous are they?
Define adventurous? ;)
30. If there was a safe-word, what would it be?
‘Matte’ (‘wait’, used as surrender in many martial arts) or ‘time out’; when words fail, they tap out
31. Going down or standing up?
Oh, they’ll go any which way, probably in the same session
32. Old-school or into experiments?
Experimenting sounds more hands-on
33. Masturbate or seek for a helping hand?
Why would it have to be one or the other
34. One night stands; yay or nay?
That’s a weird question to ask about an established relationship
35. Foreplay or straight to business?
Depends on whether it’s a ‘test of endurance’ type of day ;) Although I can tell you that they waste absolutely no time after a boxing match - no sex for a fucking week before a match, honestly, what the hell kind of rule
36. One thing they’re dying to try?
Domon has, ah, given a fair amount of thought to doing it outside
37. In the morning or when night falls?
Hey, you never know when the mood will strike!
38. Roleplay? If so, what exactly?
You know, I don't think that's Domon's style. No way would he be able to stay in character
39. Props they’d like to use?
Domon’s headband?

Fic Rec: Cryptobotany - The Study of Plants That May or May Not Exist
Author: Puffinpastry
Fandom: Trigun
Relationship(s): Vashwood, Livio & Wolfwood, Kaite & Wolfwood, Kaite & Vash, Kaite & Livio, Knives & Vash
Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Appalachian setting, Supernatural Elements, Mythical Beings & Creatures, Cryptozoology, cryptid Vash, Cryptids and Conspiracy Theories, Blood and Injury, Unethical Experimentation, Past Child Abuse, Mental Health Issues, Chronic Illness, Disability, Survivor Guilt, Withdrawal, Religious Imagery & Symbolism, Developing Relationship, Falling In Love, Found Family, Slow Burn, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Kid Fic, Sort of. Kaite is Livio's foster kid, Trans Livio the Double Fang, Trans Vash the Stampede (Trigun), Trans Millions Knives (Trigun), Complicated Gender Feelings, Millions Knives is named Nai, Millions Knives Is A Good Brother, POV Alternating, Shapeshifting, Canon-Typical Body Horror, Mild Horror
Summary: In the cover of the dark, Livio waited for Nick to settle the not-angel in the backseat and crawl in next to them. Livio drove slowly, taking each curve down the winding road gently, so as to not disturb them more than they had to, and to keep Nick’s stomach from jumping into his throat each time they drove past a cliffside. The heat that poured from the vents was nearly tangible, turning the air in the car humid, and leaving Nick miserable under his coat. But soon enough it did its job, and the angel moved in their sleep, curling in on themself and shivering as their body finally woke from the cold enough to save itself from it. Blood was smeared on the seats, dried on Nick’s skin and clothes. Downy feathers fluttered to the ground, and he knew that Livio would likely never rid the car of them entirely.
Or: a simple hike takes a drastic turn when Nick and Livio stumble across an injured angel alone in the woods.
I love a good cryptid!Vash fic, and this was definitely perfect to scratch that itch. I love the way Vash is written, and it's fun to see a depiction of him that is decidedly not human. He has a tail!!! Wolfwood is also amazing in this, and I really like Livio and Kaite, as well. All around really neat fic. I'm excited to see where it goes! It's definitely worth checking out.

"I beg the question why I keep you around, your a distraction that keeps digging into my pesky mind." He turns to you softly.
"But then I came to the conclusion, you keep me...content, calm when I need it." he turned and placed a hand on your shoulder, "so don't doubt yourself, your of value to me, " he smiled softly.

"I will go but not yet, you're beautiful, you're the only one who cared, please leave before your hurt, before they find you" you quickly tell seryna.

"You're mi amore, my love, someone who I can't vanquish easily," he smiled, holding his cold, dead hand to your cheek.
You smiled and held him close, you kissed him even if he was rather dry and cracked.
In response, he was passionately held you close.

giving adam an interest in, nay, a LOVE for reading was truly the best thing that batb 2017 did in terms of changes from batb 1991. they both have their merits yadda yadda yadda but GOSH adam being a bookworm too, a PRETENTIOUS bookworm at that, is just perfect. not only does belle find someone who shares her interest, but she finds someone who very specifically challenges her. i think they have such different opinions about like every author and book they come across, and THAT is where the fun begins. they get to argue and debate and go back and study the books so they can build their arguments and they make an evening out of it without even trying. they’re so academic and bookish and nerdy !!!! and belle has been very clearly craving this kind of scholarly world her entire life. adam is suuuchh a dick about literature, he thinks he has the best literature taste in the world, and THAT is who belle needed by her side. someone who understands that love, but equally never lets there be a dull moment within that love. and, in the same vein, i think adam has had to suppress this side of himself all his life. i don’t think the people of his court ever cared to hear him infodump about his favorite books. i don’t even think his classmates at university would’ve cared to the same degree that he did. and he was definitely doing everything he could to fit in, be the most impressive kind of person, so if literary discussion wasn’t in that criteria? fine, it’s forgotten. these two have both been on their little literature islands for far too long, and FINALLY there’s someone else who really Gets It. and it is absolutely beautiful.
