Hilarious thing. I'm so far gone on my fictional crush on Dohalim that I'm even talking about it with everyone at work. Them grateful I'm talking about smth other than Akechi, but turns out I am JUST as insufferable about it lmfao
#speculation nation#i started thinking about what dohalim would be like as a dnd character today#i think a divine soul sorcerer would fit his vibes best. gotta give him a staff for it too.#he's a healer but it's an inherent quality to him. not magic that he learned.#and ultimately he is VERY high charisma. and also int and maybe wisdom#but also not so much wisdom bc that deals more in practical knowledge and that is Not him#high charisma bc even tho he's kinda a dunce when it comes to ppl's feelings. he is soooo good at talking to people#ppl becoming putty to his words. this was even addressed in the game. he is just so good at making people like him#beloved among both dahnans and renans in menancia and lenegis alike.#good int bc hes a history nerd lol. Ya Kno.#strength dex and con are a bit more eh. if this is actual dnd he would Not be able to be good at everything.#leaning more towards strength what with the staff and all. but smth could be said for dex and con too#if i was actually playing him id go dex and con. con especially. bc those keep u alive more than strength#between dex feeding directly into AC and con feeding directly into HP. so.#really he is just good at Everything. there's a reason he was picked as a lord & thats bc hes so fucking Capable#his flaws lie more in his emotional instability and his inability to do Normal People Shit#so in terms of dnd he would be a bit too OP lol. but this is an over the top anime battle video game so it's ok#balance? whats balance? we r fighting giant monsters day and night. we need all the OP builds we can get.#legit tho i love his character so much that ive thought about synthesizing it into dnd just bc like#i want to play with this so bad!!!!! i am not immune to beautiful man that is so fucking weird too!!!!!!#hmmm.... dohalim...❤

a/n: ahhh another dan heng request! >.< it’s not so surprising to see how popular my first hsr fav has grown ^o^ <3 yet still, i’m excited to see more works of mine regarding him because he’s the most requested in my inbox rn :3
dan heng il x fem!reader x dan feng
warning: smut ;3 some fingering here and there ^^
Tumblr media
“i refuse to believe someone like you is my reincarnation.”
DAN HENG clicks his tongue in annoyance, sweat slowly dripping across his face as he pathetically watches DAN FENG spreads your legs apart with his long fingers, perfectly along with scissoring open your cute little clit as you squirm and whine, his tail wrapping around your waist to keep you still.
this was not what he meant when he needed slow guidance on how to please you better, as a sweet lover. his goddamn irritating incarnation however just had to pop out of nowhere and give him a ‘lesson’ on how to take you to a seraphic paradise. you were vulnerable, unable to move from your lover’s incarnation’s tail, your bare back from your disheveled clothes pressed against dan feng’s chest while his other free hand toys with your tits.
“..deciding to want to make love with your beloved when you don’t know how to treat her in bed properly…”
“i don’t need you teaching me how,” dan heng tells him, an angered expression written across his face. dan feng scoffs, his digits rubbing your cunt in slow circles, feeling your fluids drip slowly out from your cavern while you mewl loudly. “then why are you looking so intensely while i fondle her?” the former high elder speaks, his gaze never leaving dan heng’s.
dan heng anxiously swallows a lump down his throat, his aching cock pleading to be freed from his pants as the male desperately tries to refrain from touching himself right at that moment. the sight of you being touched and pleasured by his incarnate, makes him annoyed…yet at the same time, it was quite the sight to witness. your breasts about to pop out of your clothing, lips leaking few drools while your pretty cunt was displayed in front of him, glistening like a gem as dan feng teased your hole with his fingers.
“i must say, she is sort of acting like a woman with sexual innuendos.”
“are you saying she’s a ‘whore?”
“is that how you people call it these days? hmph. then, yes..you’re quite lucky…she’s not lucky however…” dan feng removes his hand from your tits, grabbing your chin to make you face him as he continued to speak to your lover, his reincarnation. aeons, he and dan heng really look alike, but instead—dan feng’s gaze was a little more colder, a little more stern. “she’s supposed to make love with someone who’s supposed to be my reincarnation, whom ends up not knowing how to please a woman.”
dan feng slowly makes you face back to your lover, who’s cheeks were red, panting heavily as he sits there and watches his incarnate prod open your pussy wide, drips of your impurity leaking from your hole as a loud whine escapes your lips. dan heng jolts.
“you—
“if you want to please a woman, it’s best to know how to do foreplay. first, you’d want to rub her clit down, just like this..” dan feng slowly repeats his steady massages down your weeping cunt, watching as you quiver at his touches, long sharp fingers kneading them down, your whines never fainting away. he’s…good. you love dan heng with all your heart, but his incarnation was talented with this. the former high elder chuckles, “what a loud mouth she has. it sounds like she’s wanting more, don’t you think?”
“wha—
“quit yapping and come here. you look like you are about to pop over there if you don’t touch her,” dan feng cuts him off, shushing him down as he commands your lover to come over closer. oh no…
dan heng approaches, not so eagerly, but slowly, his red face sending dan feng a death glare when he arrived close to you. a small smile appears over dan feng’s face, like he was smug about dan heng holding back to a pretty girl like you. “do not hesitate now, touch her.” dan feng tells him, removing his hand from your clit as he grabs dan heng’s wrists and places his fingers on top of your hole. he stops for a moment, looking at you with a nervous expression, breath heavy as his chest pants. you were so…pretty, so helpless, you were pleased. that’s all he ever wanted.
dan feng rolls his eyes, “what are you waiting for?”
“s-shut up…”
forgive me, y/n…
dan heng was fumed by his words, it was all over his face. he was frustrated and turned on. you looked at him, feeling dan feng’s tail pushing you further up to him before dan heng slips a finger inside your cunt for a brief moment. you cry, and he pulls it out again, flustered. he looked at his finger, and saw how drenched it already was from your fluids.
that…was
“see? she’s liking it. do it again, with two fingers this time.”dan feng orders him, his hands still continuing to play with your breasts, twirling your hardened nipples around.
dan heng did just what he was told, giving his forefinger and ring finger a small lick, before splitting you open with his fingers. a loud moan escapes out of your throat, head pushing back on dan feng’s shoulder as the two vidyadharas pleased you with ease. dan heng focusing on his fingers in your cunt, while dan feng parades you with praises, licking your earlobe, toying around with your tits.
oh fuck, dan heng thinks. the face your giving right now…he’s so fucking hard from the sight you’re making him receive.
“feels good, darling?” dan feng questions to you, and you nod. dan heng looks at him, looking like he’s about to stab him with cloud piercer any moment now.
“don’t forget who she belongs to.”
“ah, a shame. it appears she likes the both of us…”
fuck yeah you did. it was clear dan heng was jealous, and so, he leans in, giving you a passionate kiss, muffling your cute noises. with dan heng’s fingers, mouth and dan feng’s praises that were suddenly being possessed by filth along with his rhythm of his palms that presses down on your nipple, you won’t be going to last long. you were growing louder and louder of every minute. dan feng pulls dan heng away from you, resulting in a very irked dan heng.
“what the hell?!”
“patience. look at her, she’s close.”
dan feng was right. the knot in your belly was about to be cut open, hearts moulding into your pupils as a euphoric sigh passes your lips. it didn’t take long for you to squirt your release out, dan heng closing his eyes as your orgasm came to the edge, spilling some on his face and mostly on the ground, your hazy dreamscape of pleasure weighing down on your mind as you came down, panting hard. dan heng too was panting, face flushed as you heard him cursing underneath his breath.
“impressive. seems like you made a girl squirt on your first try.” dan feng says, before he bends you over, your face hitting the area of dan heng’s fabric pants before the former high elder hikes your skirt up.
“next, you should know how to let her take cock.” he says, and you knew you were going to end up very sore afterwards.

Was reading over the reverie arc tag and saw that you said to re-ask you about Im after what happened is revealed. (I'd provide the link but tumblr won't let me) So, while not much was revealed, thoughts?
what i think is really interesting about imu is how they compare and contrast to the other characters who have been set up for us as endgame villains, those being blackbeard and akainu. compared to both of them, imu is established quite late in the series, and how they will fit into the unrolling narrative and themes of the story is still somewhat unclear.
both blackbeard and akainu are established firmly well before they enter the main story as primary antagonists. we hear about blackbeard as far back as alabasta and meet him in jaya, while akainu is first seen in robin's enies lobby flashback and mentioned even before that. and they each also embody a strong thematic conflict with the main characters that is going to need to be overcome by the end of the story.
blackbeard mirrors luffy in his pursuit of the pirate king's throne, existing in the same lineage of villains as doflamingo and big mom. it seems almost certain that he will be the final and most difficult fellow challenger for the title of pirate king that luffy will need to face, and the eventual showdown between the blackbeards and strawhats has been telegraphed for quite some time. the question this conflict asks is, what does it mean to be a pirate? what does it mean to be a pirate king?
meanwhile, akainu is the embodiment of authoritarianism. he's the law, brutal and indiscriminate; he represents the order that would stifle freedom. he is much more alike to antagonists like rob lucci and cp-9. while i usually try to avoid speculation on this blog, i think akainu's final defeat will probably not be at luffy's hands; i think a showdown with sabo is much more likely. and the reason i think this is because the question that the conflict with akainu asks is, what does real justice look like? this is ultimately the question of the conflict between the marines and the revolutionaries; they are two armies fighting over whether the current order will be maintained or torn down and built anew.
so, then, imu. we meet them quite late in the game, and still know very little about them. however, i do think this is in itself thematically resonant; we see almost no trace of imu anywhere else until we reach mariejois itself, because they have been deliberately erased from the world. imu is tied, specifically and inextricably, to the mystery of the void century, of the erased history, and we will only learn the truth about them when we learn the truth about everything else.
imu's role in the story seems to be specifically to finally provide a direct antagonist to the overarching myth arc of the void century, the forgotten ancient kingdom, and the will of d; the imperial crimes of the world government, shoved endlessly under the rug. can you build a world-spanning kingdom on a lie? will it stand? for how long? there can be no such thing as an immortal empire no matter how much force you might use to make it so. you can't pin the sun in place in the sky.
while it's impossible to really guess this conflict is going to unfold given how much information we still don't have, my top three guesses for who will be primarily involved are robin (for obvious reasons; unraveling the truth of the void century is her dream, and imu stands directly in the way of that), vivi (also obvious; imu is targeting her directly), and law (both because his new goal is to unravel the meaning of the will of d and because it seems significant that imu is likely a previous recipient of the ope-ope no mi's immortality technique).

Hey there brook! I hope u having a nice day! Can I ask for a luffy x heroic fem reader headcanon? by heroic I mean that she completely dedicated her life to help and save ppl and that her purpose in life, she's strong and seems cold but when u get to know her she has empathy more than anyone else, I feel like this is the perfect character that luffy would fall in love with, pure kindness hiding behind a tough facade, she doesn't even like being called a hero, yet she is willing to do anything for those in need, slaves, poor villages, she goes against anything unjust without any fear, cause thats her purpose in life (sorry if that was too long 💀)
Hi anon <33 (it makes me so happy that someone finally addressed me as that💗)
today was a very chill day 😊 thank you! How’s yours?
Tumblr media
Reader sounds so genuine with such a good background for a op character!!
(Don’t worry it’s not too long—I love to read:3)
Ngl luffy subconsciously sees a little bit of himself in you!!
like your hearts are so similar—gold!
of course he doesn’t directly think that way- but he feels the connection!
which is through helping!
you two never turn your backs on those who have never wronged you
its not even about if they’re on your side or not, as long as they haven’t wrong you? and they need help?
the both of you are on it 🤜🤛👍
you wanting to save others becomes admirable to more than just him, to all of the straw hats—chopper and usopp especially!
I’m gonna go ahead and say it here and now you remind both Jinbe and luffy of whitebeard and fishman island type thing
LIKE THAT’S HOW IT IS!!
Y/n is just her tbh 🤷‍♀️
and if the ops don’t like that? 🤨
🤜💥
how you like that? >:)
your strength may or may not be hereditary but either way if you don’t continue training or working out your gonna loose that strength eventually
which shows just how hard you train everyday!!
bro works harder than zoro 🗿
and we all know he don’t sleep on workin out
so y/n is a gorilla the og
its no wonder you be cookin the ops like breakfast👩‍🍳👍
this is literally turning into a rant about me being (name)’s biggest fan ok let’s move on
luffy saw you cold exterior and was like
😍😍😘🥰😘💍💋💋💋
LOLOLOL no but fr he looked straight past that
he always does- he ignored law’s and zoro’s why wouldn’t he with you-
and once he sees your true kindness???
Locked in like a booty hole 🔗
(ANYWAY I HAD TO🧍‍♀️)
yeah he pretty much busts right through that
he pretty much instantly demands you already are is nakama after that
Your empathy is what really swoops him off his feet tho
like luffy has a good sense of empathy so much so he can hear the voice of all things
and you probably can too! It’s highly likely!
(y/n could have her own anime at this point 🤷‍♀️😚)
But seriously the way he can just feel the way you long for others when they’re in pain just gets him right at the heartstrings you know?! 🥺❤️‍🩹
you comfort them so assuredly and keep your promise to win every time !!
luffy would admire himself more than he would know if he realized how alike the two of you are
tbh you probably admire luffy!!
like it’s a mutual thing, where you pretty much don’t see your own coolness you only see the other’s
so you admire each other unaware that your the same 😂💗
he absolutely adores and admires that empathetic part of you thoo!
he loves how your kind and tough
he wholeheartedly believes the strong should protect the weak, cuz that’s what a man does.
especially with nakama.
so he definitely understands your need to protect those who can’t do it for themselves
there are many times he can recall where he had to rely on others
so he loves that your the one who does that for people
and you don’t do it for the money or fame!
you don’t even view yourself as the hero and savior that bystanders see you as!
that’s so cool to him!
you background/past might’ve caused it! Like maybe you had no superhero! So you decided to become one!
he kinda looks up to you in a way 🤩
as someone who has also helped slaves and the poor he completely understands where you come from in your kindness
and it’s even cooler that you charge head on into battle for others without a second thought
that’s just how tough you are ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
not an ounce of fear in your eyes as you walk up to someone 20x the size of you to simply get back the bread they stole from a poor little child
LIKE HOW COOL IS THAT?! 💥💥
your a super hero!! Dundun duh-duuuuuun!!
🦸‍♀️‼️🤩
you have a goal just like him!! He wants to be the king of pirates and you wanna help others!
With the type of pirate he is?, those things go hand in hand 🤝
”STRAW HAT LUFFY AND PIRATE HERO (NAME) IS HERE!! RUN AWAY!!”
says the pirates who know they’ve done wrong doing!! 😎
also excuse (name)’s lame pirate alias i couldn’t think of one 😊💖
(Name) is so cool 😎 I admire her 💓
hope you enjoyed your hcs anon!! *super heroes away🦸‍♀️🚀*

I'm not sure how to get it into people's heads that Arya is a female character. She's not a boy, not nonbinary, trans, agender, or genderless. I don't intend this in a way to be negative or wanky, but her girlhood is imbedded within her character. The problem isn't that Arya stans are missing the point by overemphasizing her femininity and wanting her to be a barefoot tradwife baby making machine, but that we're stating it exists when the majority of fandom and the show itself have gone out of the way to minimize the relevancy of her gender. I'm fully convinced there are a lot of people who think Arya would be the exact same character had GRRM created her as a male character named Arry instead, perhaps they'd do a better job at acknowledging her importance.
What's most ironic to me is how these same fans will gush and coo over the sisters being more alike than we think, but only if it involves giving Arya's characteristics to Sansa. Well acktually, Sansa likes to ride horses just as much as Arya does! They're so alike uwu! But dare acknowledge that Arya has traits and aspects commonly associated to Sansa then not only does that get accusations of wanting Arya to become Sansa, but that it's solely about showing Sansa up and wanting her to grovel in Arya's shadow and superiority 🙄 Hypocrisy and projection showing itself.
Somewhat of an aside, but I recently saw a post on reddit complaining about the fact that all four of Daemon's children survived the Dance specifically focused on the fact that both Rhaena and Baela lived. According to the OP, one of them should've died and their post-war roles in the story should've been given to only one of them. Which at its core is really the main conflict between Sansa and Arya stans, no matter how much the Stansas want to cover their ears and play dumb. It's not about Arya stans projecting their sibling squabbles onto the two of them but simply the fact that it's not possible for two characters to fulfill the same role in the story, specifically when it involves two female characters. The existence of two Stark sisters is an inconvenience for the people who want the story to revolve around Sansa.
I have to believe there's some bubbles that they don't want to admit will burst if TWOW will ever be released and that's why they cling to the idea that Arya stans are the delusional ones. They have to believe that the parts of Sansa's seasons 5-8 storyline they like came from GRRM instead of D&D or else their Jonsa and QITN fantasies will fall apart. I have no idea how someone can watch the scene where Sansa tells Arya she couldn't survive what she had while Arya can only sputter out that she was training and believe 1) it makes sense for their book characters and 2) D&D didn't blatantly favor Sansa and Sophie over Arya and Maisie.
This ask came literally seconds after I drafted a post talking about this exact topic and it's so wild to me that we were both up thinking about Arya + her girlhood and wanting to discuss it 🥹
As for this ask, you really hit the nail on the head. Arya's gender is an essential aspect of her journey but fandom ignores that because they've decided that there's only one "right" way to exist as a female character. Arya's self-esteem issues stem from her being a non-conforming Lady in a misogynistic society, she has to disguise herself as a boy in part because of the threat of sexual violence, in Harrenhal she is assigned gender-specific tasks/labor, political matches are made without her knowledge/consent, she is threatened with sexual violence multiple times, and even her role within the FM is influenced by her gender. Her being non-conforming doesn't mean she's the complete antithesis of everything feminine. The obsession with propping up Sansa has ruined people's ability to perceive complex female characters, ironically including Sansa herself. They genuinely would've respected Arya more if she had died passively rather than fight for her life and you can't tell me that isn't misogyny.
That Reddit post is a great example of how people genuinely can't (or refuse to) comprehend the idea of two female characters occupying the same space. Cause you're right, that is the root of the issue. I think the only reason they bother with the fake "Stark sisters uwu" crap is because they've backed themselves into a faux-feminist corner and they don't want to look hypocritical for disliking Arya. So instead, they pretend to care all while rewriting her to serve as Sansa's prop. This is also why so many Queen!Sansa truthers are also anti-Dany + think that Sansa becoming Queen depends on Dany's downfall. They desperately cling to the show as canon, when D&D have openly admitted they changed the story because they favored Sansa/Sophie. They're fine with how show!Arya is written because to them, that's exactly how she should be; a subservient lapdog for Sansa. TWOW is definitely going to ruin that illusion, and one of the reasons I'm optimistic about it being released is getting to see fandom's reaction.

The reason that so many new tumblr users don't reblog content or make many posts is because they're conditioned by other social medias to think that your role is either that of a content creator or that of a content consumer. Since they don't think they have the potential to write/draw/edit/ext. they think their only role is to consume the content others make (and are unaware that there's no algorithm to make likes worthwhile.)
But what they also don't get is that tumblr isn't about creating or about consuming it's about community. One thing that makes tumblr so distinctly unique from other websites is that it's easy and encourged to make friends with people you'd've never met otherwise. Tumblr is about connecting you with people with shared interests, interests nobody else you'll probably meet in your life will share with you to the same extent.
When you get locked into the creator/consumer mindset, you tend to ignore that reblog button- so your blog has no content, and no one knows who you are, and no one follows you, and you've got that one-sided, outsider relationship with the blogs you interact with. You don't have a community, you don't have a connection, you just get content- and that's alright, but it's not really the spirit I've noticed in tumblr.
On tumblr we reblog posts, so our followers can know what we like and remember we're still here. On tumblr we reblog posts, so the people who worked hard to make them can see that someone likes their work enough to want to be identified by their enjoyment of it. On tumblr, we reblog posts, and we write little notes in the tags so that our followers can see how our mind works, and we share ask games just so we can get to know each other better, and we make posts about silly little things that happened in our day, and we share each others' fanfiction and bad posts just to say "OP, how could you do this to me?"
I think it's kind of whack that so many social medias now days have become "give content/get content" places, but the one site where it's almost a written rule that you don't know people is the one where you build the richest connections with people- but I'm so glad I've found tumblr to be that community.
I don't know if anyone else feels this way (and maybe the new blogs are aware and don't want to build connections and that's why they aren't posting anything) but new blogs (and old blogs alike!) don't be afraid to reblog posts. Don't be afraid to give us updates about your day (in ways that keep your personal info private!) Don't be afraid to hide a little bit of yourself in the tags. In the end, it's actions like these that help you find your people- and that is a wonderful thing.

yeah i'm gonna need a full breakdown of the deleted rhaenyra and jace scene
LET'S GO THEN
there are SO many things i want to say about it. it's literally been my white whale since it was announced as a cut scene. i was hopping one of the scenes op talked about with jace was that i'm sooo happy it was. my main reasons were that 1) it's a jace/rhaenyra scene and those are always juicy and 2) jacegon reasons. i'll be using text from the original post here btw.
Tumblr media
under the cut for more jace, rhaenyra, jace AND rhaenyra and some jace and aegon <3
"Daemon fights like an unrelenting tempest with little regard for his well-being [...] Daemon hungers for war, and he'll have it one way or another"
I love that the scene begins with daemon fighting other knights and in a sort of frenzy. he's obviously expressing his grief over viserys and visenya both, and how angry he is about the situation. i think it's such a great contrast with how rhaenyra and jace are presented in comparison. jace finds rhaenyra in "deep contemplation" as she watches over daemon. it's such a great element in their dynamic because as much as rhaenyra doesn't want war, she's as angry and as grief-stricken as daemon, but cannot express herself in the same way for fear of losing her image in front of the other lords. daemon has always been her outspoken twin, he's her sword and shield and like a dragon he's expressing what she cannot. it really is so good how they represent one half of a whole. delicious.
then jace comes to her and says
"Daemon wants to fight for us."
SO interesting that earlier in the episode we have jace and daemon in explicit opposition. daemon wants to act, jace is heeding rhaenyra's orders of not doing anything except by her command. daemon obviously doesn't respect him because he's a man who respects actions and jace is still a boy without experience neither political or in a war. i'm in the camp that while jace also doesn't respect daemon nor wants or likes him as a stepfather/father figure, he accepts him as part of the family and implicitly feels safe in his presence. he is his siblings' father, the man who raised (loosely! daemon is still daemon <3) joffrey when harwin and laenor died. he's known him for six years and seen him every day.
this scene is also after daemon threatens the KG in front of jace with caraxes so i think a minimum of respect for daemon's war knowledge made jace trust the he would do anything for rhaenyra and her children. /he wants to fight for us/.
"I wonder. Will you?"
"will you?" SO delicious because while jace will heed her commands to stop daemon from plotting, he does NOT agree with her approach! very very interesting. makes sense when he says "send us" when all rhaenyra wants is to keep her children safe. obviously direct parallel to ep 2:
Tumblr media
"I will always fight for my family... but this is not as simple as one of the other"
rhaenyra is understandably reticent to enter war full on. her first experience with it has her losing a baby. and added to this is that just /the day before/ she's spent and more or less amenable afternoon with both family. it's not easy when it's not what viserys would want and what could possibly be his last wish.
it's also about alicent of course. it's not easy to give the order to kill or imprison the woman you considered your best friend and who probably is one of the few people with whom rhaenyra had a deep relationship in her life.
"It could not be simpler. If you accept Aegon's terms, you will forfeit my life. And Luke's and Joff's."
another crash between them! as much as they are a lot alike, they butts head more often than not, esp when jace doesn't agree how rhaenyra is handling an issue like harwin's funeral and now the war. but in all this, he still supports and respects her because he very pointedly questions her in private, both in driftmark and in here. when he was younger, he could've confronted her in public out in the yard, but to me jace learned very early or assumed to himself that he could be (and is!) her mother's most steadfast ally as her heir and young prince and that meant playing the politics game, and in this case to question her in private rather than in public where he could undermine her.
it also comes from the very public humiliation the kids, and jace as the eldest and most cognizant of the situation, have faced by their peers. he knows the power of rumors and whispering, what it does first hand and would not and does not want rhaenyra to face them too, or at least not from something he could've avoided. in this scene he is acting like one of her loyal lords, advising her to take one way or the other. acting like the prince he is.
it is also very interesting that he mention's "aegon's terms" when it's very obvious the terms came from alicent, maybe he doesn't know the full extend of the conversation on the bridge. in any case, it's clear aegon's on his mind. in early 2023 all we knew of the scene was that jace said "we shouldn't trust the usurper". jace wants to know what is to be done about him because he knows how aegon is, how long aegon holds grudges and his negative attitude (indifferent more like) to renew their old bonds (ouch!). esp after last night's dinner where aegon couldn't wait to bother him and join aemond in the antagonism to jace's immense dislike.
he thinks that if aegon had the chance he would kill them because they represent a risk to him claim. i personally don't think aegon would, but it's a real risk that jace is aware and that rhaenyra doesn't seen to grasp.
"Rhaenyra looks at him quizzically." "If you do not claim the throne, we will be taken hostage, or sent to the wall, or put to the sword. I do not know which fate will await us, but I do know they will call us "bastards" first."
the first line kills me because out of context it makes rhaenyra look naive but i think it does make sense for the rhaenyra we see in the bridge. what i said earlier, she's still reeling from the alicent from the diner /the night before/. the alicent that proclaimed her a good queen and begged her to stay with her. it's difficult! but i think it shows very well how complicated her feelings are in this.
this is also the point were jace and rhaenyra start having two different conversations: rhaenyra is still absent, "deep in contemplation", while jace is pushing and pushing. he wants answers, he wants to act! he doesn't care about alicent the queen who always sneered at him and called for luke's eye, he wants to ask about the boy from his childhood (girl, the parallels) who betrayed him so many times. and he's right! i think he's trying to soften the blow, this is the second time he's said he and his velaryon brothers will forfeit their life if they lose, if rhaenyra fails to act. this talk is also driven by self preservation and it's why he's siding with daemon this time. it kills me that rhaenyra has comforted luke all ep 10 but because jace is presenting himself as an equal in this conversation, not as her son, he doesn't get any kind of comfort. he's clearly thinking of death. and he's sixteen. and his mother doesn't know how to comfort him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in this case, it's jace wanting rhaenyra to see him beyond of what he presents. beyond the perfect prince who's pushed through earth-shattering revelations about his identity. he wants her to see him and answer for once.
"but I do know they will call us "bastards" first". this jace knows with certainty. they might kill him or they might sent him to the wall, but they will call him a bastard as they do it. this is one of jace's touchiest points and weaknesses. every time he's called that he's flipped, due to under processed anger issues (hii harwin) and the repression he's going through to Just Not Think About It. i think it took a lot from jace to say this to rhaenyra's face. the first time it's when he confronts rhaenyra after harwin leaves and you see it's something he has thought about for some time
Tumblr media
and later when they are in driftmark where the passions are high
Tumblr media Tumblr media
note that he doesn't yell the word. he whispers it to her. he knows the power of it and how angry rhaenyra would become, it's a key word there. and one here too. in the cut scene he's trying to get... let's say a rise out of rhaenyra. to make her understand what will mean for them to get captured. to me it's so visceral because i don't think jace had ever consciously said or thought himself in such after driftmark and after aegon's betrayal. and i don't think that is how he framed it for luke when he told him about their parentage either. even in the audition for child luke, jace's lines frame the issue differently: "I think he thinks we don't belong here [...] we don't look like Targaryens. You must have noticed".
"Alicent gave her word that you would be treated kindly."
they are NOT having the same conversation!
"The word of an usurper means little and less."
either aegon or alicent, jace doesn't trust their word. the king and queen are one power in paper, but i bet jace is thinking about this too
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
his words means little and less to jace, he who was a victim and at the same time someone who enabled most of aegon's bullying behaviors. he knows him best. but jace also knows that aegon wouldn't bother with lies either. he was trying to unite the family during dinner, but time has shown him he shouldn't have bothered to carve himself to be someone aegon liked anymore. from the same audition video jace says: "so let us be good sons and please those who love us so they may forget what we lack". aegon will never forget! and even if jace or aegon want to break from this, they must play their part because they are too far along.
"In the yard below, Daemon can be heard SHOUTING for a fallen knight to get up and to come at him again. He prowls the fighting ground like a tiger protecting his den. He calls them out, taunting them -- a cruel avenger."
once again daemon as the externalization of their anger! "like a tiger protecting his den"!
"Jace and Rhaenyra reach stalemate; the conversation ends in silence."
my favorite part! this conversation could've never reached anywhere with these too. the issue is too thorny and they are too alike to want to see the other completely. jace is too angry and rhaenyra is too detached.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
all in all, i wish they had kept the scene. it furthers rhaenyra and jace's relationship and gives a little bit more of characterization to jace and his relationship with aegon. loved seeing jace oppose rhaenyra and at the same time support her and take the lead when it's needed.
thanks for asking!

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡
I'm gonna be real with you, these always seem to come at a time when I feel least equipped to answer the question.
On the bright side, I guess that means I get to recommend comics I like.
1.
This is so cute and sweet that I'm bouncing just thinking about it. Just. Look at them.
Tumblr media
Adorable. I love them. I love them so much. Thanks @moosopp-art!
2.
We're gonna take a hard left. For some reason, watching this teenager take on an improbable amount of attackers is so so satisfying. He's the opest of op characters. I love it.
He's also clueless about how to live a normal life and all he wants is for his grandpa and sister to be happy. He goes to deliver a lunch his sister made to a friend, finds out the friend is in trouble, drops the kawaii lunchbox on a nearby table and takes out an entire gang like it's nothing.
This is a light day for him.
The friend is also a gangster. They met because he was hired to attack a teenager and as soon as he engaged he was like, nope, this kid is out of my league, pull back. Now he goes and helps the kid's grandpa on a regular basis.
He's still a gangster he's just more of a found family business now.
3.
*chef's kiss* everyone is messy and the color palette changes often. The depictions of mental illness are extremely vibrant. Mal is doing her best and also a mess. The commenters affectionately refer to her main love interest as rat man. I love them.
4.
*vibrating excitedly* how do I describe this one
Neoma starts as like, perky magical girl protagonist. Surprise! We get to explore toxic family dynamics.
She meets a guy who figures out he also has spiritual abilities. He likes her and is down for exploring but is Very Concerned by her grandfather. As he should be.
It's one of those I can see spirits stories and it looks like we're going to be exploring why being perky all the time is bad for you actually. I love the art style and the character dynamics. Can't wait to see where this one goes.
5. @painted-bees and their Hi-Note universe. They also have a webtoon called Woven and I really wanna see that through to the end, but Hi-Note is a bit more relevant to my current age and life experiences. Adhd 🤝 autism bros. (Not platonic but also sort of platonic.)
It's just a good depiction of (mostly) two people going holy shit, no one has ever understood me in this way before. I love it. I love that. Cortez scares me a little but they seem interesting too. (Eldritch being. They don't show up as much because it's still in development.)
~::~
OK. Thank you. Smiling now. This was good.

Let me be very, very clear.
England and America's caregiver/ward-charge-""~son~"" relationship (as it kind of relates a lot to this post) is only interesting to me at all if they end up in a romantic/sexual relationship later and not because I think it's incest because it is not that (.that's not a thing in hetalia. even if it was, America is not "blood" related to England. England has actual brothers, we know what that looks like. the implications born out of England being his colonies' "father" give me the ick.)
It's interesting to me in the sense of America having "been in love" with England for his entire existence and England being basically the only one with that caregiver view of the relationship. America definitely wanted to be England's wife and/or husband from the time he was very wee smol and England laughed indulgently and said of course, of course and thought it was "cute" at the time, but America was dead fucking serious about it and never really stopped being so.
Even England thinking that he is/was a caregiver to America is a retcon in his own mind because he definitely was just the world's worst babysitter. He's painting a better picture of himself by claiming that he gave America the world on a string and nursing his own ego over America giving him the finger and demanding independence. He liked knowing America was out there, across the sea, loving him and always being happy to see him, but he was never there. Not even at the end (rainy battlefields be damned, he was way too busy with more pressing matters).
The fact that England is so much older than America but they end up at very similar ages in the modern day so that England is suddenly forced to see America as an adult and equal in a way that isn't the same old "older adult sees 18 year old as 'grown up' for the first time', is just... I dunno it's very unique to them as far as I've encountered and I can never properly articulate just exactly what I mean by this. It's a vibe. I've only ever gotten the full experience of it from a few artists/writers.
Let me be even more clear: in my mind, as far as Hetalia goes, America declared independence, yes for himself primarily, but also because England wouldn't see him as an adult and specifically because he wouldn't see him as a potential partner.
I understand where people find the idea of them having a father/son relationship sort of warm and sweet (esp face family) and/or sort of dark and twisted (they're too alike in all the wrong ways). I get it. And I go out of my way to respect people who don't ship them. If a post says "don't tag as ship" I don't tag it as ship... and if it's not tagged when it comes across my dash and it's not overtly shippy, I check OP's tags and honor that. So let's just be clear. If you interpret a post of mine as them having a familial relationship, keep your mitts off of it, capiche?

Hello...just want to say, so happy !! Finally my best friend who is anti-shipping in shounen (and love to make fun of me because I have ships in every shounen that I watched/read), said that he can't find any het explanation for Gojo/Geto and Bakugou/Midoriya relationships...
Especially when I showed him your posts (that is based in canon and so true). Thanks for sharing your wonderful posts....
What do you think about JJK s2 op1 and ed1? I can't believe when I reas that the op is about geto from gojo's perspective (so romantic)....
OH ANON. HAVE I GOT SOME BRAINROT FOR YOUUUU. I've also noticed some of my older Satosugu posts are attracting attention and subsequently feel like I need to just list out all the most tragic things about them that I hold dear in a separate post because you've basically prodded a festering wound within me.
Re: Your last ask (maybe the same person?), I really only tried to focus on stuff that's already been animated because I try to avoid spoiling the fun for everyone. 🥹✨
It's hilarious that Gojo/Geto and Bakugou/Midoriya are the two relationships that stick out specifically considering their creators intently make them complements of one another.
Gege Akutami cited specifically that Gojo and Geto were designed to be a duo in an interview with Mandou Koboyashi (shout out to twitter user @/soukatsu_ or @soukatsu here as the real MVP for translating and adding further context for other fans). Fans seem to recognize their yin and yang design everywhere. There are countless salt and pepper shaker videos set to Ricky Montgomery's "Mr. Loverman" on tiktok, I'm positive. This is despite being marked by their dissonance.
Kohei Horokoshi has Bakugou and Midoriya recognized as two halves of the same whole by other characters in the story, most remarkably All Might who in many ways carves the deepest chasm(s) between them. The wax and wane of their unique development as individuals being integrally related is also something to note.
But this isn't unique to these two stories. I haven't even watched Naruto but know that Naruto and Sasuke serve as the sun and the moon to one another (literally within the story, their seals and by design/disposition) and I'm sure we could find this in other shows I haven't hyperfixated on haha
There's probably nothing new I can add to the MLM shipping discourse in shonen/seinen genres that hasn't been said, especially when it's been so eloquently broken down by IG user @/ariavelz. I also think there's a fair amount of queerbaiting in mainstream media and anime alike. Five seasons of Free! comes to mind...
Now the MUSIC!? In JJK? Bestie.
S1 already had me gagged with this brain worm. But, the fact that the song playing during Yuta and Rika's final moment in the fight vs. Geto and subsequently during the final moments Gojo and Geto share in that alley in JJK 0 was called "This is Pure Love"??? That's when I knew there were some Satosugu's on staff at Mappa. I don't think we need to dig into the parallels of how Yuta's fondness for Rika being the catalyst for her becoming a curse was the same way Gojo's fondness subsequently led to Geto's "comeback". Gojo, based on his experience at the time, said "love is the most twisted curse of them all" and time showed him just how twisted it really could be in season 2.
NOW THE OP!? It's just so lonely. Their cursed techniques being at odds with one another is so tragic, in a sense, and ultimately creates this divergence from one another. Geto, a genius of diligence, nobly consumes and sullies himself with the curses he has to imbibe like a martyr. Gojo, a genius of happenstance, is pristine. Born into privilege and untouched by the need to work hard or literally touch curses which Geto later grows to resent.
Meanwhile, Gojo's largely a product of isolation as imposed by his status and cursed technique and "Ao no Sumika" or "Where Our Blue Is" by Tatsuya Akitani waxes on about how, despite his best efforts, he could never reach Geto. The irony. As the story continues, we do, in fact, see that Gojo's never changed in the canonically affectionate way he regarded Geto. I think about this dissonance a lot. Literally, how did your Six Eyes miss that?
We could have shared everything. // Little by little since that day, // The curse of me being different from you grew thicker. The sorrow behind your smile, // All the way, I’ve regretted missing it. // To you, who bloomed and fell away as a fruitless flower, // Farewell. Our blue still lives, // Our blue is still clear. // No prayer or word could ever reach you, // No matter how close they could get to you. // In such a color as if it were a silent love, // Or as if it were a summer rolling down a cheek. // I’ve got a curse word for you stuck in the back of my throat. It is the unvoiced voice that says, // “We’ll see each other again, won’t we?” // Like star grains in an infinitely expanding galaxy, // Spilling through the gaps between my fingers
Now, I initially assumed the EP was from Gojo's perspective because Geto only seemed to smile in his presence (who's blushing face are we trying to see, afterall?). However, it is said to be from Geto's perspective and that, too, makes sense. Two viewpoints acting as bookends of the history between them.
I think what's sad about it is the way in which Gojo's POV is centered wholly on Geto, regardless of who or what he became; whereas Geto's perspective is more broadly applied to Gojo in part but also his own turmoil and moral dilemma.
Part of why Geto is thrown into such chaos is because of his inherently principled existence and yet, he is still the moon to Gojo's sun (Naruto, what are you doing heree?). Where Gojo always held a place for Geto, I think Geto assumed that his radicalization and subsequent defection marked a departure from Gojo because he was never really one to exist in shades of grey. Even if his impetus for this new society was ultimately to protect Gojo (and others like him) in the only way he felt he could.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before my goodwill crumbles away, // I should have told you everything. // In a life descending and dissolving into the night, // Fuzzy emotions, a flickering light. With nothing to search for, love sways. // Living while concealing, // Hence, the moon is dark, head in flight. // Today, unable to go anywhere. // Sleeping, sleeping towards a brand new morning, // Loneliness under crying Though I understand a wounded heart // Why do I end up hurting and leaving the same scars? // Labeling it as ego, grouping it all together, // The true essence of you and me, burning transparently. Longing for change, but the feelings stay the same, // Only the form crumbles away, // Holding onto the hand of hope, your ghost Realizing that something seemingly everywhere // Exists only here, // In the trivial silence of the night. // Only I, residing in memories, awaken It exists only here. // I want to touch you, // Even with trivial conversations. // Show me your blushing face once more...
Pardon me, anon, while I burst into flames after reflecting on all this. 🫠
Edit: just adding this visual for everyone because SAME. 🥹

Are we the assholes for not saying we’re siblings?
I say “we” because I am writing on behalf of my brother [M22] and me [F15]. Also, technically, we’re half-siblings, but eh, we’re siblings.
So, going to the beginning, when my brother (who we’ll call A) and I met, we didn’t know we were siblings. He was just a guy who wanted a job with my dad (M33).
Then as we got to know each other, we realized that he had a gift that as far as I know, only people in my family had. Plus, he has a bracelet that looks just like one my mom had that was supposedly one of only two in the world (my mom had both at one point, but she lost one before I was born.
Lining up backstories a bit: turns out A’s parents were traveling musicians until he and his dad got caught in a fire that killed his dad, and his mom couldn’t be found. Lines up with my mom having left her father for a few years because she married someone my grandpa didn’t approve of before she came back, remarried, and had me.
A didn’t know his mom’s name, but he knew his dad’s last name (because it was also A’s last name, duh). So we went to marriage certificate office. Sure enough, my mom was once married to someone with A’s last name.
So by now I bet you’re wondering why we don’t just ask our mom. Well, my mom disappeared about 10 years ago when I was 5… and now is where we get into the “us not telling people we’re siblings” part of it.
We think we actually met our mom. Or at least we met someone that matches the age and physical appearance we assume our mom would have based on 10+ yr old pictures. [let’s call her L, she’s F41]
And she has a bracelet that matches A’s and my mom’s. And she’s had amnesia for the past 10 years.
Also, as far as asking my dad, my current dad adopted me. My birth dad (aka mom’s second husband) disappeared 7 years ago. Since then, my adopted dad is just my dad… and that’s why I don’t want to ask him.
In theory, A and I could tell my dad and we’d get DNA tests to confirm and maybe even talk to L and all be a big happy family! But also, we’ve just had a crazy few months and things have finally settled down, and we kinda don’t want to stir things up again so soon.
Plus, my dad has been the most steady thing in my life for the past 7 years. We may not be family by blood, but we are the definition of “family is who you choose,” and I don’t want him to think that I’ll ditch him just because I’ve found bio family.
Not to mention, how do you go to someone who doesn’t remember the first 3/4ths of her life and go “Hey, we think we’re your kids!”? L has started a new life and has practically adopted a new kid (I’m not sure about legal technicalities), who admittedly I’d be glad to have as a brother as well, but we don’t want L to feel like she has to abandon him for us.
We feel kinda bad whenever someone comments on how alike A and I look, or pokes fun at how we act like brother and sister, but it just seems like it’d be better to not really say anything, at least not yet. Still, we feel bad keeping it a secret, especially from my dad and L.
So AWTA for not admitting we’re related?
((OOC Note: Yes, this is headcanon, OP and A don’t canonically know, but I think they’re smart enough to figure it out.))

CHAPTER 108 THOUGHTS!
God, I don’t even know where to start.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like how Teru is also mesmerized by the Clock Keepers’ boundary, every character has been. Tsukasa, Nene, myself including.
Tumblr media
Reminds me of that one time where Mitsuba tried to sneak away. It says ‘sneak’.
Tumblr media
C’mon Aida, making everything look so cute. I didn’t notice this at first until someone mentioned it.
Tumblr media
I don’t think you’re supposed to handle it like that Teru.
Getting right to the point though.
Tumblr media
I hear a lot of people say ‘Terukane betrayal’ and I totally agree, I knew we were going to get one soon, it’s apart of every TBHK relationship. There has to be a betrayal!
But I don’t think we should hate Akane for this, I know the hate might pass, but still. He’s a Clock Keeper and the Clock Keepers are responsible for handling their business’s, like every other seven mystery. And I really don’t think Akane would have done this if he had an option, he did hesitate at first.
He hates supernatural after all.
Tumblr media
I will always remember this moment, it’ll always be in the back of my head.
I don’t know why this was so special to me, but, seeing Tsu be vulnerable.. I don’t know.
I mean, when is the last time we’ve seen him like this? Probably never? If I were to recall, I couldn’t.
This chapter and most likely the next is going to be when we see a vulnerable Tsukasa instead of the usual op one.
It’s just something I’ve wanted to see for a while.
Tumblr media
Nene, still being fantastical, still trying to follower her dreams. I gotta love it, we’ve gotta love Nene for trying to be a princess even when captured ( But she already is a princess in my book 🫶🏽 ).
I see too many people say that Tsukasa is also a helpless princess in this case, and I love it.
Even looks like Nene copied Tsu’s pose and labeled it ‘Captive Princess Pose’. 💀
The two helpless princesses.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aw, I’m glad she’s happy he woke up.
Trying to get both of them out of the restraints.
Also I like how in the manga she’s always being compared to animals. Like that one time she ate a lot of cake in the arcade with Akane and her cheeks were puffy so she looked like a hampster.
Tumblr media
He seems so bummed out. Wasn’t he in the last chapter?
I think Aidalro is trying to show us a mentally tired Tsu isn’t of the adrenaline junkie Tsu we always see. But I’m still loving it, because it’s something we don’t see often. Him being all broody and depressed, like Amane. They really are alike.
All you gotta do is run Tsukasa out of fun stimuli, and this is what you get. A bored, depressed, underestimated Tsukasa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my lord, someone plz help this boy…
He’s so lonely!!
His brother never came when he called for him, I assuming he’s referring to when he was ( possibly ) stuck in Hanako’s boundary, and whenever he called for Amane, he never came.
This broke my heart. And when I first read this, I read this in French class. I had to push all of my emotions back inside so I wouldn’t look like I was having a stroke. But this made me so sad.
Plz, I want to give Tsukasa the biggest hug he’s probably never received in a long time.
Also, ‘twin powers’. I’m such a Nene kinnie because I really believed twins had powers. Telepathy. Omg.
Tumblr media
Referring to how he always has to do stuff on his own, how he probably got out of Hanako’s boundary with his own two hands.
He’s always so independent, doing things by himself.
So lonely too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love how this is something I didn’t catch while reading this in class.
Tsukasa let go of his hold on the breaking cage to catch Nene, who was about to fall, and then he ended up falling to.
Don’t ask me how I missed that, because at first I was confused on how he also fell. I think I was so busy trying to read everything before class ended.
But I realized his hands were also in restraints, so he had to completely let go of the cage and catch Nene with his arms.
I don’t understand how people could not love these two.
Tumblr media
Realization hits him, he really let go of the cage, to save Nene. And now they were both falling.
Also, something that I saw someone else say is that the thing Tsu says, the three lines, is supposed to mean something with ‘three syllables’ being said, and Amane’s name has three syllables.
Oh my god.
Tumblr media
AND HE ACTUALLY CAME!!!
But with the stankest attitude ever.
“What?” ( Insert nastiest attitude put into a voice ever )
Omg Hanako, relax a bit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I absolutely love how he saves both of them!
Their hero!!
Tumblr media
Oh my god, releasing Nene’s shackles but not Tsukasa’s? Be so for real Hanako.
Tumblr media
Aw, he didn’t think you’d save him.
And then again with an attitude, you say ‘he was there, so’. C’mon. 💀
Tumblr media
I still love them though, I love when they act a lot more like siblings. I do this to my little sister sometimes, it’s hilarious. But I feel like Tsukasa was asking him innocently, studying Hanako’s face to see what emotion he might be feeling, because he’s so obviously displaying he’s p1ssed.
Tumblr media
Again, with the most innocent intentions in the world.
He’s just asking y’all, come down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
‘Yeet’, as he throws Nene over to Tsukasa, with the intentions of playing volleyball.
Someone said another person said they look like they’re playing volleyball. Omg.
Also I like that Hanako can trust Tsukasa enough to throw Nene over to him, even though he was mad.
Tumblr media
Enemies to friends to lovers you guys, they’ll make it one day.
Tumblr media
But god, he was out for blood.
PART TWO BECAUSE PHOTO LIMIT! 😭

Okay obviously I LOVE that we are supposedly getting some good good Superfamily stories in the coming months, and that all of the Superkids are flying around being cute in their matching jackets.
Tumblr media
But part of me worries that they’re a little too matchy. Like, the most common complaint you hear about writing Superman is that he’s too OP, so how are they going to handle four (five with Power Girl) Kryptonians? Especially since Jon and Kon are so close in age and look so much alike.
One of the things I really liked about Superfam teamups in the 90s was that Clark, Kon, and Linda had entirely different powers. Sure, they were all strong and could fly, but Kon wasn’t even really Kryptonian when he debuted - he was a human clone of Paul Westfield with Clark’s Kryptonian aura grafted onto his DNA. His only power was TTK, which he used for strength, invulnerability, and flight as well, but they didn’t work the same way Clark’s powers did, and he didn’t have any of the vision powers. I’ve always felt that giving him the full Super-suite in the 2000s kind of flattened him out as a character.
And Linda also wasn’t Kryptonian: she was a protoplasmic being from a pocket universe who could shapeshift and fire psychokinetic blasts who merged with a human girl and became an angel with wings of flame that she used to teleport. Obviously.
Anyway, it made group fight scenes really interesting. Obviously we’re not going to get that much variety anymore, but I was thinking about how I would differentiate between the current Superfam Kryptonians, power-wise:
Clark: Clark has the most experience, obviously. He has fully matured into his powers and knows exactly how much he can get out of each one. He’s the best at using multiple powers in concert, interpreting information via microscopic, telescopic, and X-ray vision and superhearing, and navigating sensory overload. His use of his powers is extremely complex and nuanced.
Kon: Honestly, Kon should be the weakest of all of them. He’s only half-Kryptonian, if that (see above re: Clark’s aura), and he’s the result of an experiment where no one really knew what they were doing. I’m not saying he can’t juggle cars, but he should be the weakest, the slowest, his heat vision the least hot. All of which is fine, because he has TTK and that, used cleverly, should allow him to do things none of the others can do. I also think it would be interesting if kryptonite affects him the least, since he’s the least Kryptonian (and because his TTK acts a little bit like a force field).
Jon: Jon is canonically already registering off the scales and will almost certainly be more powerful than Clark, even though he, like Kon, is only half Kryptonian. (This is because Lois is more powerful than Lex.) So yeah, I’m fine with Jon being the tank, maybe a little clumsy with it right now but learning. I think he should have the flipside of Kon’s resistance to kryptonite and be particularly susceptible to it. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, right?
Kara: Kara’s powers should be roughly on par with Clark’s, once you take into account that she’s like half his size, but I like the idea that she’s the only one who knows how to fight. Kryptonians are strong enough that 99% of the time it doesn’t matter how well they throw the punch, only that they threw it. But in post-Crisis it was canon that Kara spent time on Themiscyra training with the Amazons, which means she would actually know what the hell she’s doing. I just have a beautiful mental image of them all going to Warworld or wherever they are going to have to fight someone at their power levels, and the bad guy is all “Send in your champion!” and they unanimously agree that it’s Kara. And then she kicks ass.
Krypto: Krypto is a good boy. Yes he is! Yes he is!

do you have any little corrupted world fun facts? just like, little tidbits and minor details …crumbs, mayhaps?
Oooo lemme see, what’s some small things we’ve pondered…..
Jack’s wandering trader coat was originally not code corruption; he chose it to match the distinctive look of the wandering traders, to advertise to villagers and fellow players alike that he was bringing goods to sell and trade! But wearing the coat made him seem a good candidate for their code, and now it’s a bit of both things. Wandering Trader code also probably contributes to Jack’s instincts to flee rather than fight.
Joey has always had the power to use commands – he didn’t know they were CODE before, it was just a thing he could do. When I asked Boo about this, he said, casually, “you know, there’s villagers, and there’s witches… some people just have more powers than other people,” which is the Most Joey Response Possible, I think. Mochi joked “he’s op and he doesn’t know it.”
something I think is really neat to ponder is the concept of custom things in minecraft – you know, like, when you make a small tree out of a fence post and some leaves, is it still a fence post? When I talked about this with mochi, we really liked the idea that this is just part of building, where builds are imbued with intention and become the thing they’re meant to be. Concrete powder and fences that are meant to be leaves and branches literally become a tree. Others can see what it was made from, but they all see the tree. This is going to be MIND BOGGLING for Pete.

Please share the gerbils with the humans of Tumblr. This poor civimorph catching hell from mom because they wanted to cheer up their broken sire so they arranged to have his pets brought to him. Orion is very confused. He was talking to his mate because he didn't want to see humans wiped out. His child is very confused because the human's bairly there em feilds are covered in dad's biomarkers.
Nyehehehehehe >:) excellent
So! Where we last left off with the aligned cybermorphs, Optimus Prime after being mentally shattered by the matrix finally restoring his true memories from before the war, has suddenly vanished from the base after multiple days of him being entirely disassociated and non-communicative from the shock of it all. They can't get a read on his life signal, and have no idea where he possibly could be.
They don't even know if he's alive
Optimus slipped out of the base to seek out the nearest known decepticon energon mine. It's a risky move as Megatron still has an incredibly high bounty on his head, but he's not exactly thinking he clearly. Haunted by all of his children whom he killed with his own hands, he willingly goes to them disarmed and in surrender. The drones are being overseen by one of the civimorphs, a mecha he now knows to be one of his sparklings. He can't bear the thought of fighting them, and the way their optics flash with hatred goes sparkdeep.
The surrender goes peacefully, all things considered. It's incredibly tense but he gets bridged directly to the decepticon warship, which is essentially a flying hive. Within seconds, everyone knows he's there. The hivemind thrums with anger and confusion, and it's permeable in the air. Every set of optics is trained directly in him as he's led, bound in stasis cuffs, directly to the heart, Megatron's throne room.
I could go on and on about the reunion and what happens next in more detail, but that's not the point of this ask. The point is the gerbils
So! Long story short Megatron accepts OP's surrender, though with the demand he relinquish the Matrix, claiming it tainted with the Senate's evil and he's not willing to commune with one of their puppets. Optimus obliges him without objection. It's a very painful process that is eventually finished up with surgery
Optimus-now-Orion is happy to be back with the hive, but he's still very mentally unstable. Megatron keeps a very tight leash on him, partially because he can't trust him to just wander around, partially because he's worried someone might eat him, and partially because he's honestly worried about his little mate. Ex-mate? It's... complicated, to say the least. Orion is in a terrible state, still so broken from grief and guilt alike, and needs an ass load of rehab and therapy.
Almost no one is happy he's here, and even the ones that are have very conflicting feelings about the whole thing. One of his eldest surviving children, one that is old enough to remember him very clearly. One that grew into one of Megatron's finest praetorians. They've never forgotten the burn of his betrayal, the horror at finding out he had sided with the Senate and had played them all like fools. When Megatron confronted him, all those millions of years ago, he had demanded of Orion is any of it was true, if everything was a lie. If the life they'd built together had really, truly been an elaborate ploy just to get information on the cybermorphs in order to better genocide them. Optimus Prime had looked him in the optic and claimed it was. They had born witness to it, and it broke their spark. To hear their sire call them parasites and monsters, to claim his love for them was nothing but a perfect act. Looking back, the mnemosurgery couldn't have been more obvious, but in the wake of the bombing that slaughtered more than 80% of their hive, it had seemed so painfully believable. Now, in the present, to know he wasn't actually working against them and had been reduced to little more than the Senate's plaything... guh. Their mind and heart alike are a mess. It's a joyous relief, of course, but it's been 4+ million years. He's killed so many of them, snuffed the sparks of so many of their siblings right in front of them. He had abandoned them and had been actively working toward their annihilation until just yesterday
It's so much. Almost too much.
But they can see how broken he is, how the weight of what he's done presses down on his shoulders. There's so little light in his optics, and he leans into their carrier's touch like a lost, unloved sparkling. Silently observing him from their post beside Megatron's throne, they can feel the anger's hold slipping off of them. They're still mad, but the strut-deep hatred is quickly abating to make room for pity.
Now I do have to note, this is where the story branches off a little bit: this is a hypothetical and not strictly canon to this AU. It can be, but also doesn't have to be
The praetorian, in their off time, plots to fetch their sire's "pets". Even without the Matrix he's still very fond of them, clearly, and they think it will be helpful for his mental health. Having something small and warm for companionship is a proven psychological positive.
Since Optimus went missing. The humans have been under constant supervision, always having to have an escort and sleeping at the base most every night. They'll have to steal the humans from there, but as a solo mission it's a tall order
So they do the logical thing: asks their half sibling with invisibility to help.
The vosimorphs have one of the widest arrays of traits: not only are they venomous, but they also possess crazy chromatoids inherited from the cryptid seekers, able to cloak and blend into any environment and even make all of their cells refract light so they become invisible.
This vosimorph is younger than them, as all vosimorphs are, and it very against the idea at first. Mother hasn't given that order, not to mention this is incredibly risky.
The vosimorph agrees on the condition that they're now owed a debt that can be collected at any time. And also if Mother gets angry, their older sib will take full responsibility. They head out, and spend the next several days stalking the autobots like prey: learning their habits and tracing them + their human companions to their base. Invisible, they slip inside, and slink into the shadows, silent as the grave and cataloging every detail while also actively broadcasting Normal Vibes so the hivemind won't think anything is wrong.
Fast forward several hours, it's late at night: the humans are all sleeping in the same room, the autobots are all recharging save for Smokescreen; it's his turn for the night shift. Vosimorph slithers through the base, still invisible, and appears above the sleeping humans. They don't have any way to dispatch them or make sure they stay asleep, so they have to do this fast.
They extend their fingers over every bed, and in one swift motions, scoops up all of them. Jostled awake and faced with what looks like a horror movie monster, they course start screaming, and the morph wastes no time.
Snaps at them to, "Shut up!" and promptly stuffs them all into their secondary jaw. They become invisible juuust before the door opens, and as soon as it does they slip out. With the humans hidden within their body, the invisibility extends to them. There may be some muffled screaming but by the time the autobots notice, morph is already activating the door and escaping into the night
Promptly spits out the humans, now soggy and oily, and transforms around them, immediately taking off into the sky. Reaching out to their older sib to announce 'target acquired'

maybe you'll get lucky and your dentist will drug and rape you
Unfortunately no such luck 😔 I’m home and my top lip is numb (got a couple fillings) which made eating my dinner… way harder than in needed to be lol
But gosh. What a time, huh? And how easy it’d be. I needed an extraction a couple weeks ago, and they asked me if I wanted to be sedated, and frankly I would’ve preferred that but I didn’t have a ride so I couldn’t, and just went with local anesthetic. But if I hadn’t… the dentist keeps poking around, places I feel like he shouldn’t, testing my gag reflex, waiting too long to use that suction straw so I end up drooling all over myself. But he apologizes and moves on, so I don’t really think anything of it. Then it’s time for the procedure, the nurse places the IV and puts me under. The first thing the dentist does is fuck my throat; the adjustable chairs make it super easy to hang my head upside down so he has easy access. The nurse just keeps an eye on my O2 levels, letting him do what he wants while making sure I’m still getting adequate air. As soon as the dentist is done, he opens the door to the procedure room and invites the rest of the office, staff and patients alike, to use my holes as they please. Hours pass, my limp body dragged around and fucked in every way imaginable. And who cares about hurting me, or using lube, when I can’t even feel it? Eventually, the dentist performs the procedure I came in for, and the nurse wakes me up. I’m naked, cold, covered in cum and spit and piss and I’m sore, not just in my mouth. Horrified, I look to the nurse. “Don’t worry. We prescribed painkillers for your post op care. You’ll be fine. Oh, by the way, your clothes got ruined during the festivities. All I have is a hospital gown for you to cover up with on your way home.”
