I'm bored and hyperfixating so here's what pokemon I think the Vicious 6 would have/like, BUT for each, I'm throwing in one pokemon that resembles what they got transformed into by the zodiac, just to add a little spice.... also everyone gets an Eeveelution cause I love them.

Belle Bottoms: Belle would probably only want pokemon that are both beautiful AND powerful. She'd probably have a Gardevoir, a Milotic, and a Ninelates.

For the eeveelution, Im gonna day Sylveon, and for her zodiac animal pokemon, Im gonna say Rayquaza seems like a good fit.

Jean-Clawed: CRABS! He would definitely have a team of crabs!! Hes got a theme and hes gonna stick with it. He'd have a Krabby or Kingler (of course), a Crawdaunt, and a Clawitzer.

For eeveelution, Imma say Vaporeon, cause.... water pokemon, crabs live in water. And for zodiac pokemon, lets go with Zarude.

Stronghold: Dude would go for pokemon that would rival his own physical strength. He and his pokemon could probably benchpress a house. He would definitely have a Machamp, a Hariyama, and possibly a Buzzwole.

For the Eeveelution, I'll say Umbreon... mainly cause I don't think the others really fit him or I already have a set idea for them, but also cause Umbreon is described to have 'great bulk'... so yeah, he gets Umbreon. For zodiac pokemon, Tauros is the perfect fit!

Svengence: This man needs pokemon that can keep up with his speed. Something that can easily jump, dip, and weave along side him. But I think he'd also go for ones that he considers cute. Imm gonna say he'd have a Talonflame, Rapidash, and a Dragapult.

For the eeveelution, definetly a Jolteon, and for zodiac pokemon, I think Incineroar is the closest we have to a tiger pokemon.

Wild Knuckles: Knuckles would probably mainly go for fighting and fire types, but not necessarily the strongest ones. I think he'd really follow the whole "Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites." Thing. I'm thinking Arcanine, Blaziken, and maybe Pangoro.

For his eeveelution, he'd defiently have a Flareon. I know we didn't get to see his zodiac animals, but I kinda think he would have gotten pig, mainly cause whenever I think about it, I imagine the name Wild Hog. Plus, wild pigs can be seriously dangerous if you get them in a bad spot. I was kinda conflicted, but I think I'm gonna say Emboar, specifically cause it's pokedex entry says "It cares deeply about its friends."

Nunchuk: You just know this woman goes for psychic, ghost, and dark types exclusively. There's no way she can do that levitating thing without SOME KIND of psychic ability. I'm thinking Alakazam, Hoopa, and she'd probably somehow get ahold of a Necrozma and everyone is terrified of her because of it.

For the eeveelution, I think Espeon. And the zodiac pokemon, Im personally going with Seviper, though Arbok would also be a good fit.

I have no idea what pokemon is but cool 🤠🤠👍🏽

posting so if anyone who also likes/knows pokemon can see this lmao

Harry Kim saying Naomi is lucky to be born on Voyager and that he would have given "anything" to have her life when he was a kid...

DenNor, traced from that scene in Princess Mononoke bc it’s a crime this hasn’t been done before.

You’re beautiful.

They settle and the vet rocks them, a hand playing with the braids in Warriors' hair, hums and it's okays getting kissed into his bangs.

hey so carved  //  hollowed    by @quirkle2 made me feel emotions. hello linked universe nation

i think a lot of people coddle kuai liang too much. yes he’s good and a tortured man etc. and people see that he has struggled but don’t really see that he still is struggling and has faults. even in mk12 people aren’t really talking about how he did in fact try to kill bi-han- which yes, he would have regretted, but that is still a fault you have to see in him. he’s susceptible to fits of blind rage that will make him do things he’ll regret. his anger was justified (obviously) but he’s also capable of murdering his own brother (which once again, i am sure he would have regretted).

hey, just. friendly reminder that fanfiction is morally neutral.

yes, that includes smutty fics. yes, that includes self-insert fics. yes, that includes the fics you consider Problematic TM and the fics you don’t think are Smart or New. in fact that’s kind of why I’m writing this post.

I know we all love to talk about Themes And Narratives, but—and please listen to me very carefully here—you are not earning Good Place Points for only reading the kinds of fan fiction you feel are Smart or Only Focuses On The Important Things Like Themes.

fan fiction is morally neutral.

what I mean is this: no one is harming you, themselves, or anyone, by writing a fic about two characters having sex. (are you uncomfortable with the fact that I typed the word “sex”? hi, this post is about you. people have sex. and they write and talk about it. it’s seriously fine.)

no one is being harmed by self insert fics, by smutty fics, by anything not exclusively Smart TM about the fandom or analytically adding to it.

(and that’s not to say these two types of fics, that any type of fic, can’t have those elements— some of my favorite fic authors, my mutuals, my tumblr friends, write fic in these genres, and they also explore Themes and Emotions and analyze character traits and histories and write brilliant plots and incredible character arcs and yknow what, it’s amazing! it’s fantastic to examine what makes two characters react a certain way to x situation while also having them fuck nasty about it!) (and yes, I did just type ‘fuck nasty about it’ and I promise, that’s fine, too.)

what I’m saying, though, is that it doesn’t NEED that to, I dunno, somehow validate it into existing. it just Is. it just Exists. it doesn’t need an aspect you Approve Of TM in order to earn the right to be shared, to be written, to be published and commended and interacted with and read. it just. Is.

and I think a lot of especially younger, or newer, tumblr users especially get uncomfortable with that, and they unintentionally veer right (..ha) into self-censoring, puritanical behavior which is exactly what every person trying to ban books and generally kill art, wants. (and we’re not even going to examine in depth here, beyond mentioning it, the fact that policing, censuring, and banning art has historically and still today is being used to silence marginalized voices, so, I ask you to keep that in mind as you think on this, too, please.)

what I’m trying to say is this—if you personally don’t enjoy smut, don’t enjoy self insert fics, don’t enjoy a certain genre, that’s great, you do you! but, you must, must understand that this is not a moral stance. You are not objecting to a problematic practice, exploited workers, consent issues, labor crises… none of that applies, because no one in these stories is a real person. a story written about two Star Trek characters kissing on the bridge of the Enterprise is just that, a story. there is no actor for whose rights to fight, no wages to dispute fairness of, no ethical ramifications of scenes to discuss. these are Fictional People in Fictional Situations.

fan fiction is morally neutral.

and the moment you try to make yourself feel Better TM, More Correct TM, or—one of the ones I encounter the most—Smarter TM, by saying oh, I don’t read that kind of fic, I read the good kind, with thought in it—

you’re not only causing harm, you’re actively employing art censoring behavior. is that something that you want to do? I hope not. I certainly don’t.

next time you see a fic or a genre you don’t Approve Of TM, please remember the easiest way of exhibiting that— simply scrolling by or blocking a tag! If you’re on ao3, their system is incredible for niche content searches, and blocking a tag even here on tumblr will (most of the time) work.

I just., there’s so many better options out there for you than to… act like this. I believe you, we, all of us, can be better than this.

fanfiction. is. morally. neutral.

at church reading the hymn lyrics like "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from translating song lyrics so that i could write genshin fic!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and finally "omg i learned that word from the king's avatar"

Really tired of seeing people say "I don't know how people can reclaim the r slur given what it means". Oh? What it means? It means to have an intellectual disorder. That's where the term "retard" for people with mental disorders came from. It's not a slur because of its meaning it's a slur because of how it's used. "Word that is just used to describe a minority group and doesn't itself have a bad meaning just a really bad usage and history" is like. Fucking typical for slurs. In fact retard was literally THE PREFERRED, NON-OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. Yes usage of words change but the meaning of retard is still clear - someone with an intellectual disability. And if you think it's unreclaimable (for everyone, not just personally) because of what the word means and it's just soooooo bad to you, what you're saying is that having an intellectual disorder is the worst insult of all. That there's no reclaiming having an intellectual disabiliy. And that's ableist as all hell

Cam climbing through your bedroom window after dark so she can. With you. You’re both. She. Do it. Cam is going to. With you.

wooooowheeeee

ok.

You're sitting at your desk writing in a notebook when your window opens. You're on the second floor, so you leave it unlocked. Without looking up, you smile at your paper as you finish your sentence. "That desperate for me, huh?" you tease, but also hypocritically desperate yourself for her to speak aloud that she wants you.

You can hear the smile in her voice and the unmistakable sound of her shucking her jacket behind you. "Asking if I have other toys?"

You set your pen down. "A scholar's curiosity," you answer, quip for quip.

She hums, closer now. You turn as she grabs your tie, pulling you into a biting kiss. You let her, wanting nothing more than to be consumed by her, to drink headily everything she's willing to give you. Her hand slides into your mid length hair, twisting and wrenching you back from her. "Just you," she answers briefly before sinking her teeth hard into your clavicle.

oh shit just noticed the only boy i’ve ever been into and who made me question for a long time about being lesbian or bi is liking a suspicious amount of wlw posts on twitter…

👀👀👀👀

…egg?

Me looking at my LQR raises Jingyi fic that I’ve posted so far in very small snippets over the course of months and still need to finish: I dunno man, I just don’t think it’s enough to put up on AO3, it’s just a random side project I did to have something to post every week :/

The fic in question: *has 15.5k words and still isn’t done yet*

I have this one writing professor who's overall great, but she has these little particular expectations that drive me insane. The big one is that we have to write a 50 word response to all of our classmates' weekly stories. But this is a workshop. We make those comments in class. We have full conversations where the writers can hear pur tone and respond and ask questions in the moment.

Why the fuck do we have to leave feedback comments?????

every day i wait for the day that tofu food videos will stop infuriating me (tofu lover, chinese person)

The boop thing looks fun and I do want to participate in it but.. I am so exhausted. Had a rough week, still recovering from that and then today was genuinely awful. Rip to anyone I would have otherwise booped and rip to me for not receiving any. I am so tired
