#seriously tho what a stunner

ESC 2022 - my top 10
Happy Eurovision week folks. I finalized my top 10 Eurovision list weeks ago, but I just never thought about actually posting about it here. Until now. I have fully embraced the Eurovision takeover of this blog. My kdrama followers will just have to bear with it a bit longer. I would say that I am sorry... but I am not. This is my civic duty as a European.
10 - Netherlands
This is a ballad heavy year I feel and this is probably my favorite ballad of the year. I enjoy Greece a lot, but damn wouldn't I just enjoy it more in Greek. And S10 is singing in Dutch, which I think is just wonderful. It's atmospheric and melancholy and it comes across very well without being in English. There seems to be enough going on here where I am not bored and it does not leave me cold ether. Every ballad get’s a big plus if it’s not sung in english. I do worry about it being underwhelming on stage tho.
9 - Lithuania
Monika Lui is a goddess, I adore her so much. Sentimentai is just a very chill vibe, it is so classy, almost sensual in it’s presentation and very atmospheric and it's in Lithuanian which just adds to the magic of it all. I liked the staging of the national final and Monika is so charming that I hope it translates well to people at home on Tuesday.
8 - Serbia
This is an performance art and something that is destined to become one of the eurovision moments of this years contest. I adore this. This is different, this is odd but in a good way. It's not in english. It's a Serbian woman washing her hands for 3 minutes. This is just so great. And Konstrakta is such a stunner. She is an artist, she is a legend and she is the moment. I like her performance maybe a bit more than the song, but whenever it comes on I enjoy myself a lot. You got to clap along to Biti zdrava bit.
7 - Spain
A standard, high-energy, extremely well choreographed, maybe a bit paint by number fun pop song is a must at eurovision for me. It brings the party. It's fun. I enjoy a good dancy pop song. Chanel is so good on stage, it's a joy to watch, this is going to be a moment for sure. It's just fun. There has to be at least one of these in every eurovision and Spain brought it for them. I hope Chanel brings Spain a very good result. She deserves it. Because watching this at Benidormfest was spectacular and it will also be so at eurovision.
6 - Austria
This is such a basic, edm dance track. It's bit dated even. But damn, I have a good time listening to it. I do worry about how this is going to turn out live tho. And it has slipped in my ranking a bit since it came out. It's just fun. I enjoy this a lot. I am just a simple girl that likes fun pop. What can I say.
5 - Czech Republic
I am hoping the Czechs can get a good result with this one, because it's a bop. It's simply just such a fun song. And from the rehearsal footage it looks like it's going to be very good live. I can't wait. And the band I am Domi just look like such nice, lovely people. I wish them the world and a good eurovision results.
4 - Moldova
Moldova always brings something fun to Eurovision, they just seem to get the spirit of the contest and don't take it too seriously ether and Zdob si Zdub are Eurovision legends. They were the first ever act that Moldova sent to Eurovision, they came back in 2011, and they are back with another bop. I love a good eastern European folk song. It's extremely fun. Eurovision needs at least one of these types of song each year, I think. It's a must! A fiddle AND an accordion. Oh this is some good stuff. This is pure fun. It puts a smile on my face every time.
3 - San Marino
I love the little chaos micro nation of San Marino at Eurovision. They brought us Senhit and Fo Rida last year, in 2019 we got the iconic disco dad that is Serhat and now they give us the one and only Achille Lauro with some more Italian glam rock. I mean what's not to like?
I am of course familiar with Lauro from Sanremo and I have been waiting for him to go to Eurovision ever since Sanremo 2020. I enjoy a lot of his songs and stripper is no exception. It’s not his best song maybe, but it’s still very much him (which I enjoy) and very fun. I think we need a bit of Italian glam rock every year at eurovision. We have ballads and dance pop every year, so why not? I have previous attachment to him so that also probably plays into me having San Marino this high on my list. But I just enjoy him so much as an artist and I know he will BRING IT on stage. He is a true performer more so than a singer. And I am going to enjoy every minute of it.
2 - France
A rave song with some folky, traditional sounds thrown into it sung in a minority language? yes please! There is honestly nothing about this that I don't utterly love. This is what I want from Eurovision (or one of the things). This is just so great. It stands out, it picks up where Go_A left off. I demand that we get at least one of these songs at eurovision every year from here on out.
1 - Ukraine.
There are moments when I think France has become my favorite song of esc 2022 but then Stefania comes on and the flute solo starts playing and my heart just soars with that melody. It's so great. This is what I want from Eurovision. There is just something about eastern european folk music at eurovision that just does things to me and I like the rap part as well. It's a nice mix of modern and traditional stuff. This is what Eurovision is about. It was the same with Go_A last year. I know people are going to say that they won because of the war if they actually manage to win the whole thing. But the song is good, it stand out from the rest and Ukraine just always brings it at Eurovision. They are the best eurovision nation imho.

Shamelessly stealing @foxmagpie’s monthly rec thing without the ability to get my life together to do these on a monthly basis so, seasonal recs! So excited to see if I manage to do this again with anything remotely resembling consistency but i’ve been keeping the notes for approximately 43 years (or since ~september, whatever that means) so by god i’m gonna use them.
found my thrill - s_t_c_s / @sothischickshe
Turner POV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
guys turner is SO OBSESSED with Beth and Rio
both canonically and in this fic
it’s gr9
also features a weirdly soothing and relatable cord untangling moment as a metaphor
truly disturbingly relatable turner pov tbh
relentless boomer disdain, always a plus
led to the creation of this monstrosity, not sure what kind of a monster would do that
War In My Mind - mintletters16
Backread!!!!
post-213, gorgeous character study
guaranteed to make you feEl stUfF
I really love the like, cyclical, fractured pattern of Beth’s internal monologue, it gives the whole thing a really affecting at times dreamy, at times haunted vibe
the end twist is *chef’s kiss*
mourning bells - Ejunkiet / @ejunkiet
Backread!!!!
Later s2 era, Rio’s at a funeral, gets drunk and calls Beth
V short, kind of…..mmm, not sweet, but almost? Idk
It’s got a wistful sort of almost/i can be quiet with you vibe that i go extremely bonkers for
delinquents - foxmagpie / @foxmagpie
Lol are any of you actually not reading this yet?
g o d ch 8 where do i start
First off how ABSOLUTELY VERY DARE for the tragic angst that is delinquents!beth boland. This poor baby, this precious bean. MUST PROTEC
SHE’S TRYING HER BEST AND I LOVE HER
zero percent deserves dean’s clammy hands, no i have not forgotten, tattooed on my brain, will never forgive
I also love love love love LOVE the ruby/stan subplot happening
(and ruby’s mom!!!!!) (seriously though you write the best moms)

p sure i was just like, straight screaming the entire end of the chapter
the dugout is like, pure serotonin
I can’t even talk about the closet
tHe teNsiOn
thank you i will take eleventy billion
don't give it a hand, offer it a soul - medievalraven / @medievalraven
am a desperate heaux for any fic that features rio and mick friendship
you are all incredibly shocked i know
still would not be mad if this swerved into rio x mick fake dating but beth x rio is cool too i guess
Speaking of things i am a desperate heaux for: DIANE!!!!!!!!
and DATING ANNIE???????????? Blessed
honestly this fic is worth it purely for the assertion that mick watches queer eye
Why don't we go to Venus? - watermelonriddles / @bensonstablers
another grief study!
apparently i was working through some stuff in september, idk, that was like 4 years ago
considering it’s the premise of the fic, i don’t think it’s a spoiler to say this fic is canon divergent and working with the premise that rio killed beth in 302
he is uh, not coping well
extremely haunted you might say
lots of marcus and rhea which is a delight!
rhea is to good for him tbh
i said what i said
truly top notch dream (nightmare?) sequences
the conversation at the end is extremely uncalled for
drop the game - Ejunkiet / @ejunkiet
Backread!!!!
Am going to die mad Beth and Rio didn’t hook up in 211 but luckily this fic scratched the itch
(temporarily, it’s a fairly permanent itch)
Bonus rec: missing scene series i wanna do bad things to you featuring 2x02 and 2x04
Viva Voce - zetuslapetus / @querenaxx
Whoops we woke up married Vegas shenanigans!!
So cute!!!!! So sexy!!!!!
What more do you want?
am desperately obsessed with how beth can’t help stalking rio
feels right, feels organic
this makes me feel a lot of stuff about how they could be without their canon garbage between them
🎶 we could’ve had it aaaaaaaaaaall 🎶
you showed me colors (i can't see them with anyone else) - gild_fire / @gild-and-fire
really into the use of color to illustrate beth’s emotional state, i feel like there’s a word for that but idk what it is
UNIMPORTANT
really nice job capturing beth’s inner vulnerability balanced by her outer stubbornness
am DESPERATELY into Mick playing matchmaker
more please???????
Both Sides of the Law - JoeyLee / @joeyjoeylee
LAW SCHOOL AU! I suuuuuuper love Beth and Rio here (alt pov!! a gift!!!!) I love how initially prickly they are, I love how it’s evolving into a grudging respect, I love how INCREDIBLY AND HILARIOUSLY OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER THEY ARE and neither one of them seems to see it
listen I know we’re all already foaming at the mouth over this one but as it’s gonna go down as one of my all time favorites it bears repeating/rereccing
cannot stress enough how masterful the use of POV is here, both voices feel completely true and distinct and I love how the alternating chapters revisit, reveal and emphasize pieces of each other
i can’t talk about this fic without hyperventilating
I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU GUYS
the slow burn is going to ACTUALLY KILL ME
rip, no regrats
Earned It - wakeupflawless / @wakeupflawless
spanking
that’s it that’s the pitch
H O T
living for beth’s exit in the first chapter, rio and i are both incredibly into it
second chapter also features violently possessive Rio who cannot deal with anyone messing with his girl so if that’s your thing boy howdy get on it
shake, baby, shake - openhearts
backread!!!!!
according to my bookmarks this was a reread but ???????
must’ve read it in the fugue state that followed reading for a moment we were strangers which is gr9 and I believe I have recced it before. If not, horrible oversight, reccing it now
beth and Rio POV lead up to the bathroom break, beautifully done, low-key feel bad reccing it bc the end point of both chapters makes me want to throw things but it’s super worth it for the tEnsiOn. ENJOY
What the Sea Wants, the Sea Will Have - flashindie / @pynkhues
I’m assuming all of y’all are already reading this
If not OH MY GOD FIX YOUR LIVES
P I R A T E A U
I’m sorry maybe you didn’t hear me piRaTE aU
meticulously researched, brain-meltingly vibrant, already painfully sexy slow-burning PIRATE AU
god where to start okay so first off, the world-building here straight up breaks my brain, sophie’s put in the work and it SHOWS
second, the atmosphere. i’m generally a pretty like, vague mental picture sort of reader but the sensory detail here grabs you by the throat and like, forcibly hauls you in whether your brain’s wired that way or no
and hey speaking of throats if you, like me, go a little funny about the knees at the idea of beth holding a knife to rio’s throat (he’s fine, calm down), there’s a v excellent beth-in-a-barrel moment for you
oh christ and the sexy tension
it’s gonna be a race to see which slow burn takes me out first, this or law school
Stunner - foxmagpie / @foxmagpie
Another high school AU, this time with baby Rio absolutely head over heels for his older sister’s bff
stunner!Rio has an emotional earnestness about him that I feel like delinquents!Rio has already outgrown and it’s so SWEET I can’t get enough
Desperately cute!!!!!!
alL he waNts iS foR beTh tO bE hiS girL
also unreasonably angsty???????
ANN ARBOR IS NOT THAT FAR MEGAN
A Heart's A Heavy Burden - tooshyforthis / @bathroombreaks
Howl’s Moving Castle AU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Howl’s!!!!!!!!!!!
perfect opp to roast Rio for being a Dramatique Heaux
and it’s gonna be 9 chapters?????? H Y P E
author’s note boldly presumes I did not know I needed this AU when the reality is I did in fact know I needed this AU, I just wasn’t expecting anyone to deliver
so blessed
author also claims to not be team nose stud and yet it features prominently in all its magnificent glory
what is the truth dot gif
A Bit of a Stretch - septiembre / @septiembur
SO????? CUTE?????????
would be on this list for Rio calling Beth E alone tbh
really really really really really love this Rio POV of being settled into a relationship with Beth
It manages to be sweetly domestic af while still holding the edge that makes brio brio which is a neat trick
@septiembur may be a witch
beth’s approach to getting rio to do yoga with her is hilarious and exactly right, canon-typical amounts of subtlety
1000000/10
Post Break-Up Sex - femalegothic / @bethsuglywigs
stg this was called Hit Shuffle
no matter
h O T
with a side of damn i’ve made some questionable choices in my life haven’t i introspection
(no regrats tho)
(esp not with this fic)
not the point of the fic by a long shot but i’m also extremely obsessed with Weed Eddie, so real
She drains my soul... she drains it not - niham87 / @niham87
ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH THIS CONCEPT
am a complete sucker for paranormal world building that satirizes bureaucracy
Is that a trope? If so that’s my favorite
I did it. I’m picking a single favorite. You know what that is growth dot gif
ANYWAY i love the concept, i love the humor, i love beth instantly clicking with annie
I love her and mick’s sort of grudging professional courtesy
Love beth as a champion of environmental responsibility and all of the underworld being like …...okay??
cannot wait to see where this goes
Nine-Tenths - riosnecktattoo / @riosnecktattoo
*INCOHERENT PTERODACTYL SCREECHING*
sometimes i think about rio putting beth’s hair in a ponytail and have to go lie down
science please explain why this rUinS mE
wait hold on i skipped ahead
HEY KIDS DO YOU LIKE UNBEARABLY CUTE DOMESTIC TENDERNESS
opens with rio sleepily holding beth’s hand to his heart so that’s the kind of thing you’ll be dealing with
uGH theY’RE sO CUTe
idk why precisely but rio adding hair ties to his bracelet collection is my undoing every time
Missed Call - foxmagpie / @foxmagpie
Rio doesn’t come home from a job when he’s supposed to. Beth (and I!!!!!!!) slowly loses her mind
Truly a masterpiece of rising tension
Will literally never forgive her for calling this light angst
I was SO STRESSED OUT
The first person to point out there was an author’s note at the beginning I obvs didn’t read is getting blocked
crush - foxmagpie / @foxmagpie
Listen even though this is centered around two OCs, they are OCs FROM a (n iconic) brio fic AND Beth, Ruby and Rio all make cameos (I mean, Rio’s pretty present since he lives in Mar’s mind rent free bc they are THE SWEETEST MOST ADORABLE BEST OF FRIENDS so idk if i’d call it a cameo but whatever)
and even if it didn’t feature any official GG characters I’d still rec is bc that’s mY SON AND this fic is TOO CUTE
I have so many feelings over mar and rio growing up and not knowing how to cope with girls becoming a Thing in their life and how it affects their friendship and mar feeling left behind but (SPOILERS) at the end of the story rio starts feeling that too and it’s so poignant knowing how that’s going to continue in delinquents
while mar may be my son, i also claim elena’s #1 stan status
before you’re like meg you’re only reccing it bc it’s a bday present ask yourselves do i really strike you as the kind of person that wouldn’t be equally obnoxious about this either way?
truly cannot fathom how hard i have fallen for these OCs i don’t normally do that
@foxmagpie is definitely a witch
The Ottoman - Niham87 / @niham87
look i will be the first to admit that i don’t go near as bonkers over the ottoman line in 308 as y’all do
(don’t get me wrong, i love it!!! I love that he laughs and i love that she’s pleased it just doesn’t hit my lose my whole mind button like idk, the dubby or the 306 convo, idk why)
BUT i v v v much love the context this delightful Rio POV pwp gives it
am also absolutely feral for 209 missing scene fic
and anything that captures the complexity of Rio’s s3 feelings for Beth and how twisted they’ve become
so this scratches a bunch of itches, is what i’m trying to say
Bet On It - zetuslapetus / @querenaxx
*INCOHERENT PTERODACTYL SCREECHING*
That’s what my brain does when I think about Beth and Rio meeting in ch 1
am DESPERATELY OBSESSED WITH the tension between the two of them in this fic
I love how it plays with the ways they have to rely on but don’t trust each other
plus FAKE DATING and BED SHARING (fair warning hasn’t happened yet but the set up is there)
originally supposed to be 2 chapters, already up to 4, prayer circle it goes on forever
do you like drugs (tonight) - s_t_c_s / @sothischickshe
v important focus on hydration, other fic should take note
extremely about the use of cut to and then flashback to enhance the ‘we were on drugs’ vibe
speaking of, beth and rio absolutely would take ecstasy to prove they are fun bc they are the exact kind of idiots that would peer pressure themselves
so glad beth kept her purse, got a bit stressed there for a second, clutches in that kind of circumstance are A Risk
not that i would know
FLAWLESS USE OF VOICEMAIL TBH
really love the ongoing denial that they are remotely into each other while proceeding to demonstrate how they are in fact, extremely into each other, great vibe
rio dances
I know my brain broke too
mmmm bacon
Navigate A Broken Path - flashindie / @pynkhues
*INCOHERENT PTERODACTYL SCREECHING*
I have a long standing tradition of getting unreasonably obsessed with side characters so i’m not like, entirely surprised by how obsessed i am with both Mick and Mary Pat but i never in a million years considered them as a ship
AND Y E T
they fit????? so perfectly?????? It’s amazing how she developes them individually enough that i look at them together and think ah yes this makes perfect sense for both characters
and they’re such an amazing foil to Beth and Rio?
can ships have foils? do i know what a foil is?
unimportant
GUYS you dON’T uNDERStAN d
hell i don’t understand
how absolutely very dare you make me care about YET ANOTHER set of gg ‘verse children
do not read this fic if you have no interest in feelings you zero percent asked for
wHA t hAPPeNED iN aLASkA?????????
A Moment’s Silence - femalegothic / @bethsuglywigs
*makes sign of the cross*
y’all are gonna make me rediscover religion
extremely appreciate the author’s note approach to backstory top notch prioritization
listen it’s basically 3k of beth deep throating rio idk what more you need me to say about it
it is…..good stuff
bless the kinkmeme or fest whatever we’re calling it
praise - civillove / @blainesebastian
I mean you had me at “three times rio calls beth a good girl and one time he really means it”
ephemeral rio
I left that note for myself in here in the middle of the night and haven’t the foggiest what i was thinking but i stand by it none the less
okay okay i think i know what i meant, this fic (as do all of my fav civillove brio fics) has this sort of like, liminal, in the quiet moments feel to them that makes the moments and feelings somehow feel like i’m catching a glimpse of something secret and precious???
idk i just really like it okay
Heart and Soul - riosnecktattoo / @riosnecktattoo
oh look more unbearably sweet domestic tenderness, this time to music
thank you ma’am for my life
rio remembers beth used to play piano and gets her one and revoltingly cute shenanigans result
also hilarity
and sexiness
this fic has it all, truly
shout out to mick who sees no reason to keep rio’s feelings to himself
good girls tumblr fic - prettylittlementirosa / @hypermania
cheating and reccing a whole series
It’s my list and i can do what i wanna
stop crying about it, it’s four fics and they’re all AMAZING absolutely impossible to pick a fav
truly flawless characterization, next level ability to capture evocative mood, cannot get enough
three’s a crowd: who knew ballroom dancing while dean watches and grinds his teeth could be so sexy
(trick question everything about that premise sounds A++++ and boy howdy does it live up)
feel it on the way home: rio tries to break up with beth, it goes about as well as you’d expect
(thE angSty tenSioN)
i want to play the game: [from the floor] i’m still not ready to talk about it
(rio/turner, missing scene, 10000000% a taste of what went down in that hotel room)
june after dark: pitch perfect annie pov, really really love the take that Annie is the baby whisperer, can’t fully explain why but it feels incredibly right
(ANNIE X NANCY COULD WORK SO WELL YOU GUYS)
#fingers crossed these links are right i did not double check#i like to live on the edge#truly mind boggling amount of fluff on this list i surprised myself on that one#no i will not at any point get my shit together enough to write out thoughtful commentary this is a shit posting blog first last and always#fic recs#gg fic#nbc good girls#i'll come up with a tag for these if i ever do them again#check back 37 years from now#or ~~~~~~march#whatever that means

Hello, friends~
As many of you know, I put Kim Jongin on blast a week or two ago, because this is the second (2nd) time he's uploaded a picture of himself in dreads to his IG, and I was Sick And Tired™. I've been riding for Jongin since he was masquerading as a dom top (if you don't know, you don't know), so that shit rly hurt my feelings.
Anyway, there's no real reason for me to be bringing this up, I just wanted to assert that Jongin wearing dreads is Wrong.
Moving on…
What I *actually* wanna talk about is what has been a v hot topic in EXO's fandom for years - how badly managed/promoted EXO is.
Now, before I begin, I will not entertain the idea that SM is somehow mistreating EXO because they aren't getting as much of a promotion push than their juniors. While it does suck that SM seems to just throw EXO albums at us and expects us to be content, you will not call that mistreatment.
NCT and Red Velvet getting a bigger promotional push than EXO is not mistreatment, it's just business.
Business that I'd like to explain to y'all, because I've been thinking about recently this, and it rly does go deeper than ~EXO doesn't rly need it anymore~.
So!! The year is 2012. Unbeknownst to my Black ass, SM is gearing up for the debut of their newest boy band, codename EXO, with a ridiculous ass teaser campaign.
No seriously, 18 teasers and you haven't even unveiled a debut song yet?!?!?! Flagrant.
I wasn't with EXO since The Beginning™, but close enough; I happened upon EXO-M's version of What Is Love while looking for sumn to watch on tv, and my wig was immediately blasted to space dust. What is Love wasn't the first K-Pop MV I saw that night (it was either B.A.P's Warrior or miss A's Touch), but it was the one that stuck with me.
See, I had no idea who or what a K-Pop was outside of vaguely knowing a few idol groups friends tried to put me on previously. It was *Jasmine voice* A Whole New World~ for me, and EXO was on the fast track to becoming my very first bias group. MAMA was an overdramatic mess that I absolutely fucking loved, and you couldn't tell me their debut EP wasn't The Shit™.
A heaux still Rolls Like A Buffalo™ to Two Moons, bitch!!
Fast forward one (1) year, and EXO are back (as twelve) with their first album (and K-Pop's first million seller in over a decade) XOXO. Girl, when I tell you replayed that album like it was the one thing holding me together… I was a whole MESS!! I'd become more of a full fledged K-Pop fan in EXO's absence (more on that later), but I was overjoyed to have my boys back.
Now, why am I going over this?!!? This is all fairly common knowledge among EXO L, but many of the current generation EXO L rolled up on EXO during their EXODUS/Love Me Right era. Which was 2015. So you have a bunch of EXO L who, first of all, are part of a whole new generation of K-Pop fans who consume K-Pop very differently than those of us who were fans back in 2012.
K-Pop standom these days is very social media focused, with many of our favorite idols having SNS accounts of their own where they interact with us. K-Pop fans these days are practically spoiled with content when idols aren't promoting/on tour. It rly feels like idols never truly ~go away~, because if they did, it'd leave an opening for someone else to take their place.
Something we saw when group B.A.P filed a joint lawsuit against their management agency and disappeared for a whole year.
This is where, I think, a lot of the "EXO Isn't Promoted" foolery comes from; EXO are not heavily on social media like many of their current generation contemporaries are. They don't do v lives like them, and have very few reality shows focused on them. Coupled with the fact that much of the content we do get from EXO is behind a pay wall, I definitely understand where the frustration comes from.
But let me add another layer to this, kids. It's my belief that SM doesn't feature EXO like that, because EXO were supposed to redeem SM in the public's eye for the JYJ/Hangeng lawsuits. But they, instead, embarrassed the absolute shit out of them.
Ooh, I bet y'all are all sat at attention now.
Level with me here, folks - EXO was SM's first debut since the Hangeng/JYJ cases blew up and rained doo doo flakes upon SM's reputation. SM had just renegotiated contracts with all their debuted acts to show that they aren't the monsters that JYJ and Hangeng were making them out to be. EXO was supposed to be SM's redemption arc, but there was one little problem - a 6ft stunner by the name of Kris Wu.
Fun fact - Suho, Jongin, and Kris were my original biases in EXO. Bet no one saw that coming.
Kris was always an oddball in EXO. Sure, he definitely fit the look of a K-Pop idol, but man's had far bigger aspirations. Ones that routinely got him in trouble with management. Remember that year long hiatus EXO took after their debut?!?! Rumor has it that it was caused by SM exiling Kris back to Canada, because of tensions between him and one of EXO's managers.
EXO returning as twelve was also, allegedly, because SM wanted to keep tabs on Kris, while also trying to bolster EXO K's popularity in Korea. Allegedly, tho.
Kris saw being in EXO as a way to jumpstart a career as a Chinese entertainer, but he ultimately decided that it wasn't worth it in the end. In May of 2014, he filed suit against SM to have his contract with the agency terminated.
Once again - why am I bringing this up?!! This is all common knowledge in EXO L circles. Well, it was extraordinarily shocking at the time.
As I've stated previously, EXO was SM's first boy band since the JYJ/Hangeng lawsuits. They had just finished renegotiating contracts with all of their active idols to comply with new rules and standards set in place by the government. For all intents and purposes, SM should have had no problems, like the Tinashe song.
But they did.
Kris, in many of the infamous press releases he released in reply to what SM was saying to the media, painted a very familiar story to many of us. He alleged that SM greatly limited his creative freedom, and treated him like a manufactured product. I remember him saying he felt like a box, at one point, and that hit me hard. He also alleged that SM worked him so hard that he developed myocarditis (a heart condition), and that there was rampant favoritism (claims that would also be backed up by a lawsuit launched by Luhan).
It was not a good look for SM, fam.
As a result of Kris' suit, the fandom was split. You had one camp that supported Kris, and another that supported SM/EXO. It didn't help that many of the EXO members spoke out against Kris, with Suho (the leader) saying he was being irresponsible and he needs to come back so they can work this out.
Messy™
Later that year, Luhan went onto launch his own suit against SM (which was more supported by the fandom *is totally not bitter anymore*), citing almost exactly the same complaints as Kris while also going so far as to allege that the Chinese members had different contracts than the Korean ones.
And if you thought that was bad enough, seemingly RoD member Tao decides he's done with the bullshit too, and files his own lawsuit against SM. DURING EXO'S CALL ME BABY COMEBACK PROMOTIONS!!
TALK ABOUT MESSINESS, SIS!!
Say what you want about Tao, but he rly does know how to cause a scene, and I admire that.
So yeah… Talk about a public relations nightmare.
Korean netizens were firmly on SM's side during this entire trial, but Kris, Luhan, and Tao managed to deal an even greater blow to SM's rep than JYJ/Hangeng did. Not that I think it's right, but it's plenty clear why SM doesn't rly feature EXO much anymore.
Not only are they getting older (Xiumin just enlisted a month ago), but SM is clearly trying to move past EXO, as a group. Which idk how they're gonna do that when they routinely refuse members who are not Baekhyun or Jongdae solo opportunities, but whatever. With NCT taking off (pun intended) everywhere except Korea, it's going to be quite a while before the EXO name gets retired.

rules: answer 11 questions, ask 11 questions, tag 11 people
I was tagged by @capricious-writes, thanks for that! hopefully I did this right yikes (under the cut b/c I don’t wanna clog up anyone’s dashboards lol)
1. What’s you favorite OC?
At the moment it’s a toss-up between Warren and Thrive. Warren is super-relatable because I wrote him to have a lot of the mental illnesses that I’ve got (write what you know, right???) and there are times where I imagine something I’ve written him doing and I’m just like o shit waddup tho
Thrive is a stunner, in every sense of the word. I’m just head-over-heels in love with him and it uhhhh shows in the writing sometimes. under the guise of it being Warren’s POV. lmfao. who am I actually
2. What’s your favorite POV?
Hmm...I’m partial to first-person because the story can really develop a distinct voice, but honestly the biggest drawback for me is that it’s so limited. I’ve written first person before with little issue but I like having that freedom of possibly showing what’s going on outside of the narrator’s field of awareness.
3. What’s one food that just doesn’t exist in your wip. You’re a petty god - what’s that one ‘delicacy’ that you erased from all history, and that will never ever be mentioned in your story? Why?
Mayonnaise cuz seriously FUCK mayonnaise
4. Is there a tpe of setting you tend to write stories in?
I haven’t particularly had one type up until now. I think from this point forward I might have a type because I’m going to try to stick to sci-fi for the most part
5. What was the last show you finished?
Ooh, the last one I finished??? Hmm...jeez, I have no idea. I’ve just kinda been watching things that are either still going and/or have had a bit of time between seasons. uuhhhh god, um...the second time I watched Frasier all the way through a couple years ago?? lordt I’ll come back to this if it suddenly comes to me lol
6. If you had to completely change the medium of your wip what would it be and why and/or what would change?
I’m probably not gonna answer this the way you expected so forgive me if I’m wildly incorrect, but I would make it into a graphic novel because honestly I would love to see an artist’s depiction of my characters and worlds. I wouldn’t have them change too much tbh. Possibly nothing at all, actually. I’d have to hire someone to do it for me since I can’t draw for shit oops
7. What’s your ideal villain?
I could literally talk about this for hours. My ideal villain is my ideal serial killer, and this is going to sound really suspicious and weird but hear me out. Take like, all of the fictional media portrayals of serial killers, add a tablespoon of the Joker and four cups of, like, Ted Bundy or something. Just a guy who is completely unhinged with the way he goes about his bullshit and has no remorse whatsoever, but also has no reason for being the way he is. That’s the best kind of serial killer—just some random dude with no psychological answers for his behavior, barely even a sociopath, but he’s smart. He’s been doing this for maybe ten, twenty years. Leaving little whispers of a trail, not enough to get a good lead.
Like...if Stargher from The Cell had a gross baby with Hannibal or something like that, idk.
8. What’s one recent aspect of writing you’ve been trying to implement/improve?
Showing and not telling. Maybe a big chunk of it is my own insecurities lying to me but I never feel like I do enough to really put a scenario into a reader’s mind. Then again my own sister told me somewhere around book 1 draft 4 that I over-describe, so, big shrug man
9. If your MC had sudden access to a time travel wrist watch (fixed points time travel), what would they do with it? Alternatively, if you have time travel already, could your story exist without it, and how?
This is a complex one. My story kinda has time-travel, but only sorta, cuz it’s just like...for one person. I don’t think my story could exist without it tbh, I’d have to completely gut the whole thing and rework it. But if Warren had time-travel...he would probably use it to spend more time with his parents.
10. What’s one joke, or funny trope that gets you every time?
In general? I don’t really know exactly what to call it but there’s this moment in season one of Narcos where Peña and Murphy are staking out La Catedral for carrier pigeons, and they gotta shoot one of ‘em down and Peña keeps trying to shotgun this damn bird out of the sky and Murphy’s like “gimme the gun” and shoots it down in one go, and he walks away like “ain’t you ever been duck hunting before” or something and Peña’s like, “No?? You fuckin’ hillbilly??” and I just lose it every time hahahaha
11. If you could say one sentence of dialogue, as yourself, in your current wip, what, where or to whom would it be, and why?
I would literally just apologize to everyone for what I’m about to put them through and it would be immediately the first line of dialogue in the entire series lmao
—My questions to you:
1. If you could have free reign to rope anyone on Earth into portraying your characters on the screen be it big or small, who would they be? Any particular reason why?
2. Additionally, if you could get any artists to do the original soundtrack, who would they be and why?
3. If you could entirely rehaul a WIP from years ago, be it childhood or whenever, which one would it be? What would you change?
4. Who is your least favorite OC and why? Doesn’t mean you have to dislike them! ...But bonus points if you do.
5. What’s a line of dialogue/narration from your WIP that you’re SUPER proud of, for any reason you can come up with?
6. What’s something you hate about your favorite OC?
7. If you have romantic relationships in your WIP, who would pair them up with besides their current partner(s)? If you don’t have romantic relationships, who would you pair up if you did?
8. Badly describe the plot of your WIP (i.e. for The Empire Strikes Back: talking frog tells petulant child to murder his father)
9. Which person, living or dead, would you want the most to read your WIP?
10. Does your main character have any hobbies? Do the hobbies help them throughout the course of your story?
11. Have you based any characters off of people you know in real life?
I don’t really know 11 blogs to tag, so I tag @starlitesymphony, @brigidglass, and @foxesfatewriting. Absolutely not mandatory!

here i am to introduce EIGHT characters that i actually thought i had already introduced lmao set me on fire !! but yay, take a look under the cut! ofc eventually proper bios will hit my pages and their tasks will expand much more on my children! as always, pinterests and songs are linked if u wanna go a lil deeper
just kidding i drafted that when i was aCTUALLY gonna do 8 but thankfully tea says she won’t accept me until i post 2 intros so yOU SHALL RECEIVE 2 RN and 8 later <33333 gotta keep y’all on your toes heh also i wrote niall’s in my journal on the plane so like... it’s not great (literally just bullets of sentence fragments) but wtvr that’s what bios are for amirite
NIALL O'DONOGHUE looks an awful lot like TARON EGERTON. HE is TWENTY-EIGHT and while they're ASTUTE, they have a tendency to get pretty ARDUOUS. You’ve probably seen them around Kola listening to DON'T WANNA FALL IN LOVE by KYLE (ok his pinterest is incredibly unfinished look away)
v conflicting mix of soft and hard
king of suppressing his lowkey intense feelings
kinda awkward around others due to the fact that he spent his entire life reading, writing, and studying –– he rarely interacted with other people as a kid and this mostly continued into his adult life
sweet soft boi has a double masters in medieval and renaissance studies and french and romance philology; he’s working on his phd rn while interviewing to become an assistant professor at kola university
grew up w a single mom (never knew dad) and had no siblings so his childhood was even lonelier :////
so like mad libs = his bff :’(
well mad libs and the shoulder flashlight he invented for late night reading (shoutout to amy santiago)
v soft and passionate heart
loves intellectual discussions like my boi has v strong gemini/virgo/mercury influences –– and a libra (or taurus i haven’t decided yet) venus so waTCH OUT
takes friendship v seriously (love u grant <333 @mcnuggcts )
buttt he can be a giant asshole sorry i don’t make the rules
v organized and particular
and scared of getting close to people bc he’s so used to being alone ugh my son!!
but once you get in there you’ll see he’s a good guy like rlly is he just has a bad temper sometimes and can barely express any emotion but anger half the time :///
ISLA VARGA looks an awful lot like ALEXIS REN. SHE is TWENTY-TWO and while they're SAGACIOUS, they have a tendency to get pretty MACABRE. You’ve probably seen them around Kola listening to COOL GIRL by TOVE LO.
so i’ve played isla before n i’m v sorry to do this but i feel hella lazy so i’m sORRY but here comes a fucking huge wall of text don’t look at me and don’t feel like u have to read it ://// all the triggers i tagged apply to her; she’s p dark so seriously do not read it if you think she will make you uncomfortable!!
to preface, isla is like the embodiment of all of the seven deadly sins, and i molded her a lot after amy dunne (scary, i know) and april ludgate (mostly amy tho april is just deadpan like she is –– when she’s being herself, that is), as she is an incredible pococurante yet perfectionist who borders on sociopathy
soooo this will make sense later but her real name is actually brigid (father’s surname idk) which she now uses as her middle name
so isla’s dad is a fucking rockstar !!! badass right. she’s half-siblings with hadley ( @ofadorations ) and colby ( @shtbgs ) but she actually never met her mom, something she’s not too pressed about
bc she was cute as a button, family friends decided to get her into the entertainment business as a child star almost as soon as she could walk –– she did it all, acted, modeled, danced, sang, she was literally hollywood’s little starlet and she hated every minute of it. the entertainment business loved who they created, but that girl was never her and it weighed deeply on her psyche.
when she was twelve, she decided to fake her own disappearance because she was fed up with everything –– she cut her hair to her ears, dyed it brown (and has continued to do so ever since) and sneaked her way to nyc hoping no one would recognize her
well someone did, and they happened to be a member of ruthless and organized mobs of the city –– in return for keeping her concealed, she pledged her devotion and became one of their most skilled and lethal honeytraps in the business (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE BC THEY MADE HER START YOUNG I AM SO SORRY FOR WRITING THIS IT JUST PLAYS HEAVILY INTO HER CHARACTER)
along the way, members inevitably died –– people she was sworn to care for –– many times before her eyes as well, which only lead her to realize she enjoyed witnessing all sorts of death, even those of people she was supposed to “love”. emotion was almost nonexistent in isla’s childhood, a trait that bled into her character development.
she began to idolize the gang and its power, something she now craved. still, isla was doing a great job of portraying herself to those around her as a rosy, meek, baby-doll, when in actuality she was a child full of hate who would soon blossom into a young adult of the same tone. she became even more obsessed with death, fantasizing about it as if her unusual thoughts would make her less afraid when it came for her.
eventually, as she grew older, she was accepted into the higher ranks of the mob; this couldn’t have made isla more content. the macabre girl was honored that someone else noticed her genius, the way she could predict things, assess situations, manipulate people to do her bidding. it was only right that she was initiated into a society that praised her for such harshness
but, as all things do, her time in the gang ended after ten years and isla did what she does best: disappeared. she’s relocated back close to home, kola california, and it’s only a matter of time before people and the industry realize just who she is
if she’s acting like her true self, she behaves like a negative, eldritch layabout who likes to watch others suffer (sounds extreme, i know). however, she rarely lets anyone see the real her, and instead accepts various facades in a big game –– the darkness is truly her personality, she’s not faking her cold demeanor. this image enables her to mask her true potential and the fact that she is unflaggingly loyal and cares about those she’s close to.
if i had to give her a label, it would probably be the pococurante (which is defined as: an indifferent person. possibly they’re bored, jaded or even been hurt. either way, they tend not to get attached to things and don’t show much enthusiasm, whether that’s on the outside or the inside, too)
on the other hand, she could be accurately summed up as an arcane, as she’s an enigmatic mystery and she prides herself on being a puzzle that several people have failed to solve. there are many sides to her personality; in some aspects, she’s very much an aesthete considering she spends a great deal of her time taking putting together outfits, so she has a very defined fashion sense and typically dresses like a princess half the time, which is very ironic considering her dark personality. she truly is so GLAMOROUS (and this is why i love alexis for her) and she works that mean girl, hard soul aesthetic while serving looks and also able to come across as incredibly sweet, which is perfect for her multiple personas. she’s a stunner, with both her appearance and personality; as much as she is indifferent and would prefer to fly under the radar, wherever she goes people always want to ask questions, making her into this intangible concept that everyone wants to define.
people will recognize parts of her as if they’ve seen here in another life, and because of her ostentatious, puzzling, and spellbinding personality, she’s unforgettable. on the other hand, she’s also something of a virago, due to the fact that she can be incredibly feisty when angered; but it takes quite a lot to actually set off her fuse, as she’s good at controlling which emotions she shares. for the most part, she is incredibly blasé and even-tempered. additionally, she’s is a bit of a picaro because her primary aim with her life at this point is to be independent and liberated from any and all attachments to other people. mostly, though, she’s is nothing more than a girl who’s afraid; of what, she still can’t decide.
all in all, she’s so much of everything that she isn’t quite certain of her own identity. her character is one shrouded in secrets and shadows yet alluring and sensual. but, lbr, most of all she’s just deadass terrifying. one of her defining characteristics is her desire to make things happen for her through her own abilities and determination. obstinate as all get out, she doesn’t like to own up to making mistakes so she tries to prove that she’s almost invincible to them bc she doesn’t wanna let anyone see her vulnerable, or she doesn’t want to let someone down - this refers only to those that she’s actually close to. due to her apathetic nature, all she really wants to do is let most people down – people she finds boring and useless – and have some fun because of it. however, when it comes to people she truly has allowed herself to care about, her deepest desire is for their happiness because they must be pretty damn special for making her give a shit.
still, because of her evasive tendencies, she almost always does ruin things for herself and for others, even when she actually cares. she’s like a double-edged sword; when she finds something worthwhile, she sees so much beauty and potential in it, but she’s got a midas touch. whenever she wants to obtain it or pursue it, her involvement makes everything fall to ashes, and she is afraid of her own influence. despite her tendency to run away, once she latches on and decides to be truly loyal, she’ll be devoted in such an extent that she would undoubtedly kill for them.
she can be a loudmouth whenever she actually decides to speak, constantly fabricating outlandish stories and even going off like a deranged person, but beneath her caustic and frightening exterior, isla is rather pensive. on the occasion that she chooses to offer legitimate advice, it’s usually very elaborate and composed. still, she doesn’t want people to know about capable she is, or how intelligent she can be, so she hides her rare brilliance with a tough exterior and stoic personality.
idk if you can tell but i like diving into the specifics of my character like their star signs and stuff so i searched an amy dunne mbti and tweaked it bc it really helped describe her even further! she’s a intj !
introverted intuition (ni): isla sees everything around her in a world of symbols, of metaphors, and of potential. her narration will continually be littered with predictions, with ideas about how things are going to be and what will result from this or that. despite her brashness that some may assume is impulsivity, she is a planner, anticipating new “problems” and seeking to rectify them with her own twisted brand of justice. she tries to work everything into her overall system of understanding, of her big ideas about how the world works, including her take on her various false identities she possesses for her previous job as an escort but also to mess with the minds of others around her. she’s always disappointed by how the real world is never as good as the way she imagined it; she is perfect and nothing else can catch up with her expectations.
extroverted feeling (fe): despite her aloofness, and rather lack of any sort of emotional bearing, empathy, or any sort of true feeling, isla is conscious of how others’ perceive her, of the image she’s created, and of how key that social perception is to her success, even if it’s just in her own imagination. she restrains her real opinions in order to adapt to her environment, as she’s somewhat of a chameleon, only a few have had a chance to catch the true witch beneath the crown. she’s the mistress of change, easily altering her identities in order to better fit in with new people, should the situation require it. she’s easily devastated when she reveals her real personality to others, as in the past, some that she’s left truly see her have refused to accept her twisted true-self. even though she is wholesomely selfish and self-seeking, isla is very people-focused, and applies most of her intellect and analysis onto general people-based functions, that may she can have the confidence that she has clearly manipulated and analyzed every aspect of her environment, as she needs this to feel in control.
introverted thinking (ti): as mentioned, isla is highly analytical, always trying to see the why of a scenario, what’s behind human behavior, which turns her attention to psychology and manifests in her flair for anticipating the thoughts and actions of those around her; she is so obsessed with understanding why people tick that she looks past her own slighted judgment, as she herself could easily qualify as a sociopath/psychopath. she’s always trying to fit in any new experience, or piece of information, into her pre-established system of facts, and as such is rarely ever surprised. despite her apathy and lack of care for her life or how it progresses, she’s highly organized and loves to make checklists, arrangements for the future, and methodically ticks of her obligations, one by one. while her emotions and feelings are significantly suppressed, and even nonexistent, she makes up for that human trait with a very powerful mind, one that is quick to learn and adept with languages, memorization, and logic. however, she doesn’t want anyone to know just how brilliant and quick she is, as it’s her greatest asset, thus explaining why she chose not to be a member on the intellectual team.
extroverted sensing (se): isla tends to respond her physical environment with fierce analysis, as expressed in her intellectual capabilities. she’s almost incapable of living in the moment, contrary to how people suspect she is, considering she portrays herself as impulsive and cunningly excitable. in reality, though, even when she’s crossed off everything on her checklist, she’s almost incapable of relaxing, or enjoying the world around her, as she doesn’t find things that other people find beautiful. she struggles the most with the physical side of her plans, even though she is a very physical individual. she is very open with her body and indulges with the lusts of the flesh, as she sensuality is at the same level as her wickedness. along with this, isla craves for the environment that houses her figure to be pleasant and organized, and can’t stand when things are out of order.
#tw sociopath#tw gang#if that's a thing i'm so sorry i'm kinda oblivious w triggers please someone correct me or tell me if i'm missing anything#fckit:intro#tw death#tw childhood trauma#tw prostitution#in a way#tw child abuse#tw human trafficking#could also apply i'm so sorry i'm trying to cover all the bases just in case

Your colors lately are even more beautiful!!! Your art is amazing!
AHHHH thank you!!! so much!!!!!! I have, admittedly, finally been putting more effort into them haha it’s good to know it’s noticeable! ;;
Anon said:My dude, I want to own Bakugou's shirt in that Kamino squad drawing
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy you liked it!!!!! :D
Anon said:What do you think of Kaminari x Ibara or Toga x Twice?
I don’t really have strong feelings about either, honestly :O but the only person I really ship Ibara with is Tetsu, and I can’t say I’m much into villain-shipping in general
Anon said:Have you read Sweater Weather by crispykrimi?
Nope, I don’t really read tddk fics, sorry ^^’’
Anon said:Do you think kirishima goes to izuku and they talk about their relationships?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm honestly, while I realize that Kiri and Deku are on friendly terms, given canon I’d say if Kirishima needs to talk to anyone about stuff he’s gonna go to either Baku, Kami, Sero, Tokoyami or Mina, since those are the people we’ve seen him open up to, in canon! Same goes for Deku, if he gotta open up to someone it’s gonna be Iida, Todoroki or Uraraka :0 well, it’s not like it’s impossible for them to talk about it, but I can see it happen more in a possible future where they’ve grown closer than they are atm in canon! At least imho haha
Anon said:I just wanna say that I’ve been following you for a pretty long time (since the tattoo au was just starting I think) and you’re art just continues to improve and look amazing as time goes on.

I have! It’s a trope I find real funny - but I’ve also seen a whole lot of art/fics for that topic already, would people even seriously be interested in seeing more? It looks like the type of thing that’s gonna come out more or less always the same, which is why I never really bothered to draw out my ideas haha
Anon said:Your kids!au makes me wanna write so bad.

Anon said:i used your art for reference. is it ok if i post it crediting you and saying you drew the picture that i took reference from?
Sure, if it’s just for reference and credited I don’t mind!

Anon said:Hi! I'm the anon that sent you the message about the A Day to Remember song for KiriBaku, and found another awesome song for them - Let Me Be by Escape the Fate. It's super cute and sappy for an alt/hardcore band and it fits Kiri more than Baku, imo, but could honestly come from either of their perspectives. ~SongAnon :)
AH GODS that’s sweet ;O; how come hardcore bands always go so soft on their ballads I cry - I feel it works perfectly from Baku’s pov too, tho!! Let him be Kiriiiiiii ;;; sweet
Anon said:I just wanted to say that I love your art and style as a whole, but I really really appreciate the way you draw Kirishimas eyebrows... like they look so simple but,,, they truly make my day 💕

Anon said:Hi erm I believe that YouTuber "AnimeUproar" used your kinoko komori fanart without crediting you and I'm not sure whether you gave him permission. The title of the video is "EVERY QUIRK EXPLAINED! | Class 1-B (My Hero Academia / Boku no Hero Academia All Quirks)" // Same anon as before and he also used your Setsuna art in the same video. The kinoko art had your watermark cut off while the other one didn't but they still have no credit anywhere and I'm not sure whether you have permission. Sorry if you did and I'm just being stupid lmao but it's the same YouTuber and the same video in case you want to message him
If it’s not credited you can be sure I didn’t give them the green light to use it, honestly - but, you know. Whatever. I’m tired. Let them use it. It’s a video so it’s not even like people can save it and reupload it anywhere else. sigh
Anon said:I am like 2000 years late but,, your bakubaby sketches saved my life wow they’re so cute

Anon said:I love your art so much :') it makes me so happy whenever I get a notification from your blog

THAT’S SO COOL!!! Holy smokes!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! °O°
Anon said:I just went thru your whole art tag chronologically and omg you've come so far! Every time your art crosses my dash I smile and I'm happy every time I see it!
Have I? I have!! Sometimes I look at my really old art and I hate it and want to delete it but then I’m like, comparing it to the new stuff makes me feel good about it so it’s still there - that does mean sometimes people are gonna see the old stuff too, tho #rip I’m sorry you had to see that stuff, but thank you a lot for thinking I got better!!!!
Anon said:I love how Jirou's eyes look in your style. (How everything about her looks, too.) Damn, she's a stunner, isn't she?

Anon said:ur momo and jirou are so beautiful!!! 💙 if i wasnt already as gay as it gets id have a major enlightenment rn ahhh
GOSH!!!! thank you so much!!!! :D
Anon said:have you considered... minamomo and/or kyooru
Never before Jirou and Tooru, actually, but I have thought about Mina and Momo and I’m still unsure about where that ship even came from. Like, not in the sense that I think it’s a bad ship, but in the sense that I really don’t understand it :0 why do you like Mina and Momo, anon? There’s so many people shipping it, I’m curious about where it came from! But every time I asked I got no answer #rip I wanna be interested in it, help me understand why it should be interesting!
Anon said:Have you ever considered Aoyama x Sero?? 10/10 recommend.
I haven’t! Mostly cause I generally hc Aoyama as ace, really - but that’s an interesting ship I might think about more :O
Anon said:I finally started reading BNHA again after dropping it in May and HOLY SHIT DID I MISS A LOT!! JUST THAT ARC WAS INSANE??
I know right??? I KNOW RIGHT????? I loved that arc from start to end, no lies anywhere, such a genuinely good arc!!!
Anon said:Hey fran, I just wanted to say that I like your art very much and that I love to see how much you are improving as time goes on. You are doing great. ♥
So many people telling me that I’m improving oh my g o d it makes me so happy ;u; thank you so so much
Anon said:ahhhh i loved your aokaga drawings, they're the cutest and I hope you make more of them being cute together!!!!
Eek, sorry anon but I’m really not into making content for that ship anymore ;^; I’m glad you still like the old things, tho!!
Anon said:I really wanted to tell you that I love your art so much I can't even explain. It cures my anxiety and I'm not kidding. When I feel down and shitty, I just go through your blog and your fanarts make my day (my favorite ever is your bokuro). The way you put the emotions into characters gives me life, honestly. Thank you for your art

Hello! I saw that you were taking requests for IkeSen headcannons/fics, so I hope this isn't too much to ask, but what do think about female!Mitsuhide or any of the guys? What do you think they'd be like if they were girls instead?
ikesen requests are open!
oh my goodness so i only did the oda forces sinc those are the ones i know well enough to write with confidence sdlkfjdlkfj but this was so fun thank you! i pictured a female mc for this, but it could definitely be easily changeable ;;
nobunaga
she’s super gorgeous, has the same seductive qualities as male nobunaga ;; curvy, tall, and statuesque with these eyes that just smolder at you
when you first meet her you’re a little confused because …… this is the great warlord (warlady?) nobunaga?? the one from the history books?
you imagined a woman who didn’t look like. as hot as her honestly
and when she presses you against the wall in the famous Using Your Lips as a Cup scene
well that’s when you’re done for. you can feel every curve of her body and her voice is low and sultry, and her eyes light up in a grin when you swallow the sake
when she comes home from a fight one day you’re really shaken;; she just wrings the blood out of her long hair and her eyes are cold
but getting to know her is something amazing (i mean it is no matter what gender nobunaga is :’)). games of go are filled with tension as her eyes slip into focus and her slender fingers rub the pieces between them, and she bites her lip while she thinks of her next move
she knows exactly where to touch as well oop
when she kisses you she brings your hand to her breast, just above her heart and holds it there, and you can feel her relax in your arms and lean in to the kiss
she likes to sit with her back against the headboard and pulls you in close between her legs with your back to her chest, stroking your hair almost in the way someone would stroke a pet and nipping at the junction of your neck and shoulder. the tops of her kimono are falling off her shoulders so you can turn around and kiss the skin there, making her shiver, and the ends of her kimono pool up around her legs so you can rub at her thighs
she’s so hot gdi
mitsuhide
like nobunaga, she’s got the same slinkiness about her, but stands taller
when she looks at you from her vantage point, she tilts her head and regards you through half-lidded eyes with this infuriating smirk that’s probably painted in blood-red lipstick
and this woman clearly thinks she’s better than you but she’s so attractive dammit you want to deck her
her hair is either super long and flowing, or it’s pin-straight and cut blunt, longer in the front than it is in the back you pick
you know that tumblr post about being hot enough to make people question their sexuality?
yeah that’s mitsuhide
and she knows it too
which means she literally never stops teasing you and watching how flustered you get
probably the kind of person who flaunts her assets to get what she wants out of prisoners and shit
she bleeds sensuality honestly, and it has you so shook because gorgeous snow-haired woman? paying attention to my me? it’s more likely than you think.
she has these really long, sharp nails and she likes to run them across your thighs, tapping her fingers along the way
and when she undresses you she does it verrrryyy slowly and deliberately—
she begins at your throat and traces her way down to your bellybutton, down between your cleavage, opening your kimono just a little;
then back up to your mouth where she caresses your lips with a smirk, then comes back down
and she continues until you’re moaning for her just to take me already dammit, we haven’t even gotten started and u just undressing me has me so sh00k
masamune
WONDER WOMAN
okay not actually wonder woman but build-wise, she’s lean and muscular and proud of it
she ties her brown hair back into a braid that’s long enough for her to tuck into her belt, and you can see mischief playing in that bright eye
you see her playing with her sword one day, and when she catches you watching, she grins at you and bites her lip
well that’s it you’re done for
she’s actually a little short compared to the others, which makes her fighting style even more ferocious and calculated as she’s got the speed and slipperiness that they don’t
the first time she kisses you you’re so shook
like maybe you haven’t even kissed a girl before (or if you have, definitely not one as attractive as masamune)
and she flirts with you even more than she already did after that because gotdamn you’re So Attracted to her
the first time you go horseback riding with her you’re so shaken; she pulls you close and you can feel the hard muscle of her body against your back as her throaty laughter rings out in your ears
not many women are allowed to have such a high military position, she explains, and she had to prove herself time and time again and you can tell by the way she so clearly enjoys her time with the troops and riding her horse that she was born for it
she was born to ride other things too
she’s a biter, and she leaves her mark up and down your body
definitely keeps her habit of calling you “kitten” and one day calls you a “good girl” in bed. automatic nut
anyways after a night of Fun you come into the common room without realizing how many bite marks you have up and down your body
hideyoshi bursts out laughing
masamune just smirks. you berate her for not telling you. she simply catches your finger between her teeth while you’re wagging it at her and winks at you, and you’ve gotta excuse the two of you for maybe an hour or the entire day
ieyasu
fighting smol
seriously like she’s even shorter than masamune
but she’s slender and literally looks like a doll she’s so pretty and porcelain, like you’d never expect her to be anyone scary
probably like 5′0″ and 100lbs, hair cut to shoulder-length (think the wavy windswept bob hairstyle in-game)
has a glare like ice honestly, and tbh her voice is probably pretty high pitched compared to the others ;;; probably the one to give off the ~cute~ image but lowkey wants to murder you in your sleep
when she’s practicing archery, she suddenly becomes someone imposing
and when she gives you that pair of earrings she scowls, but blushes anyway and she has really good taste in jewelry
so you buy her this beautiful necklace and she honestly turns beet red
“well…… i guess i have to take it since you spent money on it…… but i wish you didn’t buy me things as useless as jewelry”
you see her wearing it like everyday after that tho
but you take heed and instead commission mitsunari to design a practical bracelet that helps with archery (idk maybe it holds arrows or smthn so she doesn’t have to reach elsewhere to pick one out to nock?) and ieyasu is so shook she can even overlook the fact that mitsunari designed it
when she kisses you, she has to stand on her tiptoes and sling one arm around your neck to pull you down. in any other situation it would be cute because “omg she’s so short” but in this situation like… “wow ieyasu that’s really hot” with the confidence with which she brings you to her level
she’s really outright with what she wants in bed. “no i don’t like that” or “yes, that feels perfect” are common phrases you’ll hear
she pays special attention to bringing you to climax. her brow furrows as she focuses on touching you in all your sweet spots
mitsunari
Extremely Gorgeous Goddess Lady
long hair that falls in the most perfect waves, voluminous, straight out of a pantene commercial. lips that are a natural scarlet color like she’s just been sucking on a cherry popsicle. tall-ish, about your height, but not quite as tall as nobunaga and mitsuhide
you’re drawn in by her almost immediately because her eyes are clever and kind
that one girl who all the boys follow around, but she doesn’t know that;;; she thinks that they all want war advice
you become fast friends as she teaches you to play go before u realize,, Oh Shit, I’ve Fallen for Her!
she has a laugh like bells honestly. so good. so pure
you have tea with her all the time but she’s SO BAD at making tea and apologizes profusely when you nearly throw up since it tastes like gasoline?? um??
it’s fine, because you make her these delicious dumplings and sew her a pretty new kimono which quickly becomes her favorite. she wears it to all the important war councils which makes her even more of a stunner among men tbh
on that note……. during war councils she goes from soft angel to confident war woman…… her eyes take on this sure and calculating gleam and it’s so hot you can hardly keep your hands off her when the council is over
she loves to hold you in bed and stroke your hair— you both always find yourselves laughing together, and her skin feels so soft against yours
she’s really careful, always asking you what feels good, though she’s not afraid to experiment. her hair is soft and silky and you love to run your fingers through it while she kisses your neck
she alternates between big spoon and little spoon tbh. when she’s big spoon, her breath washes over the back of your neck while she sleeps and even the sound of it is so calming um wtf?
when she’s little spoon she rests her head on your shoulder and gently kisses along your jawline till you fall asleep
even when you become romantic partners, she stays your best friend and you can talk deep into the night
hideyoshi
MOM FRIEND ALERT!
she’s about the same height as you and mitsunari, so it’s pretty funny to watch her order around the likes of mitsuhide, one of the two Tols in the group
especially when she scolds him oop
her loyalty to nobunaga is something to be admired, because it’s passionate and devoted and she’s completely unashamed of it
she garners the attention of both men and women (and you)
like she makes people question their sexuality not for the same reasons as mitsuhide’s attractiveness, but rather because she’s confident and independent and women are often confused whether they wanna bang her or be her
it’s a little bit of both, at least for you
she doesn’t trust you initially and makes that clear, but you’re persistent
and as you get to know her you fall hard b/c if she were a modern woman, she’d be the Strong Independent One you hear about all the time who runs a business
she takes good care of you
you fall ill one day and she nurses you back to health,
“honestly, mc, i told you not to go out in the rain like that”
and she sighs, looking genuinely distressed, and you’re shook to the max
she stops by a lot to make sure you’re doing okay, and usually swings by and keeps you company, putting off this sure, steadfast aura that comforts you and makes you feel safe around her
she knows what she wants in bed and guides your hips to where she wants them to go
but she’s also gentle and patient and makes sure you climax as well
in the morning, you’ll wake up and see her smiling at you and all is well in the world :’)

Re: corn bybrids, I thought developing a monoculture was quite...dangerous, having a vast amount of food production depending on something never coming along which might evolve to attack a single genetic variety... like the way it went with bananas... and might be going again with bananas... Isn't genetic diversity kind of the key component of robustness in the ongoing evolution race between plant and pest?
okay, so first of all: damage in the maize industry due to a large amount of the same seed variety being used has happened before because of the thing that anon is talking about, way back in the gap between the 50s and the 70s when we didn’t know as much about breeding things for agri as we do now.
to understand this bit of maize history, we have to back up here and explain detasseling. the process of detasseling is a HHUUUUUUUGGEE thing in the midwest to the point where its a tradition/coming of age ritual for a lot of rural families. so in large production cornfields (which create mass hybrid seed for farmers), it’s like my job on a huge scale; at this point, corn research facilities (like the one I work at) have chosen the best resulting hybrid varieties from two of their inbred strains and have decided to market it. to do this, they send the seed companies a shit ton of seeds for the inbred parents with the intention of making a super shit ton of hybrid seed for sale. at my work, when the resulting varieties might be openly tossed out at any moment, we hand-pollinate the maize with special bags, but this is impossible with literal thousands of plants on a production line. so what companies do is plant fields separated into parts- part A will be the male inbred line, and part B will be the female inbred line. the intention is to mass-pollinate the female line with the male line. this is done by chopping off all the tassels (the male flower structures on top of the plants) off the plants in the female section, so that the field has no choice but to pollinate the female ears in part B with the male tassels in part A. the plants in part B produce ears of hybrid seed, which can be sold.
and this is where the bus loads of rural teens come in. detasseling is a notoriously HORRIBLE job, but it also pays well to the point that you can make $1,000 in a few weeks, which attracts farm kids to get up at 4AM to walk through the female sections of fields to individually pull the tassels off each and every female plant. each field has a different arrangement; some are one row male, two rows female, ect, but its all the same concept. in recent decades we’ve developed giant wacking machines that roll through the fields and chop off all the female tassels, but anyone who works with plants knows that when you work with biological organisms, it’s nearly impossible to use a machine to regulate everything the exact same way; every individual is different, which is why to this day every late June to early July corn companies hire farm kids to do this horrible job for a reasonable amount of pay.
now you may be like, “why can’t they just get rid of the tassels in the genes??” and that’s where we come to our story about the terrible potential of inbred line crossing and mass monocultures when done incorrectly.
in the 1950s, people in corn research facilities found a single corn inbred variety that allowed for male sterility in the inbred line; when crossed, it regained it’s fertility as a hybrid cross. this means that seed corn companies could use a fertile male inbred line and this specific infertile line as their female, and during production wouldn’t need to hire detasselers. the resulting corn would be perfectly fertile to use by farmers in the field for the production of grain.
the result of this was people using a shit ton of this female line. like. in everything. like by the mid 1960s almost all seed corn was produced with this gene so corn companies could save money.
and this is where we reach the total nightmare scenario that i still kind of geek out about because it’s such a nightmare scenario like how could you create a monoculture like this when this is like. a textbook potential result of reducing genetic diversity?????:
in 1971, we had a huge outbreak of fungus southern corn leaf blight. it just so happened that the male infertile inbred line being used as a female in like 500000000 hybrid corn varieties was very susceptible to fungus southern corn leaf blight. and the hybrid corn that was developed from it- which at this point made up 90% of all hybrid corn being grown in the United States- was also susceptible to it.
we lost 15% of the entire USA’s maize crop in 1971 because corn companies wanted to save money and didn’t have the tech to increase genetic diversity in their inbred lines. also this is just the USA, like this is a quote from the abstract of this emergency white paper on the epidemic discussing the nightmare scenario looming over the susceptible crop in 1970-1971 canada when it crept up from the corn belt (canada ended up not suffering as badly as the US, and that paper is really interesting and anxiety-inducing to read if your interested in plant pathology btw):
75% like could you even imagine. if this was worse than it was canada alone could have lost 75% of its entire maize crop. like i cannot believe this literally happened like you would think???? that they would be like o shit we have a lot of that corn like we should prob not do that incase something was to happen???? but they didnt they really. just did it lol
anyway so the resolution to that story is that of course farmers were like wow i sure dont want to lose my livelihood to my entire crop failing and immediately stopped buying hybrids with the susceptible inbred line. it literally fell out of use in like three years and we went back to manual detasseling even though the scientists in the 80s were like “hey we fixed it” and tried putting a leaf blight resistant male infertile inbred line back on the market for crossing but no one would touch that shit lol
and thats the story of how detasseling almost stopped for like 30 years until the US maize market took a major hit as the result of companies cutting corners and then came back and is still a thing that happens every year. today, we do use the male infertile inbred lines, but not even close to in the same capacity as we did in the 60s. it’s used today in conjunction with manual detasseling and machine detasseling to reduce costs.
so anyway, i asked the corn breeders at work about how they prevent this nightmare from happening again, and they told me a couple things:
1. theres just. so many corn varieties out there now that are used. like to give some ideas as far of the sheer scale: at my facility alone, we have around 40 male inbred lines and 40 female inbred lines. every facility has this many. there are hundreds of facilities and they all mix and match inbreds. thats just my company
2. they have hundreds of breeding programs that all strive for different things and seek out new maize varieties to keep the gene pool fresh.
3. just like with all other things that aren’t industry and lifestyle changing (coughthatonesingularmaleinfertilefamaleinbredlinecough), things fall in and out of style. like it feels like a weird thing bc its corn but seriously, its a thing that happens in breeding because what the farmers want in their corn is always changing; they gave an example of a particularly popular variety my company had in the 90s that was the big thing for a few years. after those few years where it was like super popular (they spoke of it by numerical code and did so very fondly lol it was like two of them and they were like “aaahhhh 4919992 do u remember that one.....man what a stunner”) the farmers noticed some problems with it, got tired of it, and started buying better stuff. things fall in and out of popularity.
4. we have the power of GMOs on our side. that means that if they have a gene in one plant thats super cool and powerful but the plant itself if lacking, they can just take it out and put it in a better, more resistant plant, and if that doesnt work they can just keep trying, or try with a better gene or trait. if the detasseling thing had happened today instead of the 1950s, they could have taken the gene out and put it in several different, more genetically diverse inbred lines, causing a little more variety than using the exact. same. females. for everything. bc thats so smart.
basically?? we have a ton of corn. a lot of corn. just so much corn. u want tall corn?? u can choose between 6000000000 tall corn lines or perhaps u would like some mid-sized corn????? could i interest u in some corn from england??????? or japan???? or corn resistant to your particular climate or tailored to your needs???????????? please choose your corn company (there are like 500000 and they all have their own inbred lines) and then choose ur fave and change it out from year to year???????? we just got in 500000 new inbred varieties and got rid of 50000?????? its in the industry’s favor financially to keep developing new stuff, new traits, new inbreds, and new hybrids. genetic diversity is key to keeping up with new threats, and as of 2017 we’re certainly not using the same females for everything anymore. bananas are another story tho lol
#I CANT BELIEVE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED LIKE LMAOOOOO WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS LIKE DIDNT THEY GO TO COLLEGE#also fyi that linked paper on the blight creeping up towards canada looks like some emergency telegram left over in some horrible famine sc#anyways i think we've learned our lesson there#like it was 15% but it could have been SOOOOOO much worse like YIKES#plont asks#asks#corn job#queue#long post#Anonymous

it’s superstars
i was gonna make a smart remark but this opening is a pretty good hype video, i’m stoked now
oh good rico’s back with andy
wait was walter vs yuta not part of the hype video?
whatevs here we go i guess
walter are u even really ringkampf anymore
oh he does have the belt this time!
andy stop taking about walter in wwe and start talking about the fucking match
i really like this match - yuta’s the underdog but this is far from a squash
i hope yuta’s staying for a while more because i really like what they’re doing with him in general
aw rip yuta
*walter voice* veit if you don’t beat him now you’re disowned
OH SNAP
WALTER OFFICIALLY DOUCHEBAG NOW
this is a good time for walter to turn
i like joey janela as a character much more than as a wrestler
ooo are we getting a hardcore title match?
awww
here comes a lucky boy!
and his parents
still don’t understand why pete and ivan don’t get booked
i want lucky to poke my finger
i have a bad feeling pete is gonna turn on lucky and i don’t know what i’d do
apparewntly lucky’s not using the rise music anymore.....
once again, brian cage looks much more human now that he’s not super disgustingly cut
wxw needs to figure out how to edit the music to loop
hahaha look how happy lucky is
is impact popular in germany? i know they tour the uk so ut’s at least known there
also i don’t want rise to break up because i don’t want lucky to lose another family member
[pretty sure i got spoiled as to who wins this so....]
yeah sorry that rebound move lucky did was...silly
baby lift!
WHAT
ANDY YOU SHITHEAD
YOU GARBAGE DAD
too old to be garbage child
oh i am worried about the consequences of this
lol pete yelling at tas
ivan is so caring
wxw seriously are you really showing us this carat flashback AGAIN
this promo video is really weirdly - probably cause it’s trying to show literally every plot segment these guys have been in for the last three months
but also there’s a lot of fades/dissolves that don’t work
lmaooo crown interrupted by shitty piano
oh my god wxw this music is so bad
omg can we see avalanche dance to leon’s theme?
ok i gotta give it to jurn that was an impressive throw
omg commentary is calling julian “baby driver” now
rico you called aj a hooker even if you try to qualify it by saying you don’t mean anything to do with sex everyone is thinking aj has a side job now
i still can’t believe they’ve stuck with this awful emil gimmick
HAHAHAHAHA EAT IT EMIL
BERTL JUST HIT HIM
BERTL DONT KEEP YOU EYES OFF EMIL
so is the inevitable emil/avalanche match gonna be a lumberjack match?
LMAO JURN’S STUNNER SELL
AMAZING
THESE SELLS
yaaay good end!
wait did german commentary really call andy ‘the wrestling pope’??
amazing
veit u gotta get that branding on your butt
i have no real attachment to ken shamrock though i know he is legit
rico totally gushing over shamrock’s body, of course
ok let’s fight tho
ha it’s cute to listen to rico and andy geek out over shamrock though
i’ve also been watching a lot of ufc shitpost material on youtube
UM who is booing veit they should be arrested
huh that was quicker than i expected
would have fit better like, at ambition, but it’s fine
ILJA YOU STILL COULD HAVE GONE DOWN???
i feel like this match should have been in dresden; i liked the idea that ilja was like MARIUS I’M GONNA MURDER YOU TO BRING SMILES TO THE FACES OF MY PEOPLE :D
also doing that three way there was teh worst idea
oh we doing an entire recap of the event now?
marius kinda doesn’t have a lot going on rn though so i guess it’s fine
ahh ilja’s head :(
‘the bodey’ is so stupid i love it
esp since that is not how we would spell it in english (more like bo-day or bode with one of the french accents (idk how to type it)
iljaaaaa dont do head injury spots i worry
or neck, really
sweetie if your neck hurts maybe don’t throw yourself into the turnbuckle and land on your neck
even rico is like DO NOT DO THIS
ilja just hates all his vertabrae, doesn’t he
WOAH
i did not expect that outcome!
and clean too!
interesting....
...not sure if vimeo app/chromecast is desyncing rico’s voice or if thats just how the video is???
looks like that might be how the video is for commentary?? weird
man the superstars music gets old fast
i also think it’s more minimal than usual - and shorter than usual
i mean, it’s already looped in the middle of hardcore holly’s entrance
are hardcore holly and crash holly the same person
i literally have no idea
crash holly fought in a like, dave & busters equivalent and it’s hilarious
but i have literally no other context, except that i’m pretty sure bob holly is known for being a dick
OH MY GOD ANDY’S SHIRT
holy fuck he actually poured that water on the girl what a jerk
but still THAT SHIRT
oh kyle! you gotta be more careful with your belt when they’re around! ask avalanche!
LMAO ANDY MADE FRANCIS KISS HIS HAND
i love how andy can do stuff like leap over the ropes and moonsault but doesn’t often, cause you kinda imagine he’s like ‘i’m not gonna waste my precious energy’
this si funny but also a little too high of a shtick to wrestling ratio
i guess i’d be more engaged if i had any attachment to hardcore holly though
hah ok reiner forgetting he’s not a wrestler was pretty funny
now that wttf is a normal tournament, i feel like it’s much less of a big deal to wind as defending champ
???????
!!!!!!!!!!
but...doesn taht mean ilja...is bad?
oh god please have them not be billed as like “team nxt”
fans stop chanting nxt i hate you
STOP CHEETING FOR THAT PROMO YOU IDIOTS
lol everyone starts booing when walter disses tim
heel ilja is so confusing for me tho
WHO IS CHEERING STILL YOU IDIOTS
guys
guys
GUYS
WHAT IF
WHAT IF
david and tim team up and defeat walter and ilja????????
heel ilja is so strange....
i do wish there were some way to do it withouth mentioning wwe, but tbh that’s really not feasible; everybody knows
god this match is so stupidly booked
basically just ‘karsten didn’t feel like making a real decision’
IT WASN;T ONE CHANCE KARSTEN
ok interesting at least they had a kayfabe reason this isn’t a singles match
it’s a fucking dumb reason though
also i’m really bothered by the whole ‘you;re all being too bickering and dramatic none of you deserve singles matches’; along with valkryie’s comment about locker room drama, it really is kind of ‘women r catty amrite??????? always with the yelling and the drama’
because every other wrestler is even keeled and drama-free, of course
amale what are you doing with your hand
i do like her new gear though
i know the outcome for this and i am not pleased with it
is toni going to be around for drive of champions?
haha shoutouts to the girl with the killer kelly sign flipping off toni
is karsten going to wear his gold bowtie & cummerbund every event?
i’m annoyed enough by the booking that i don’t even really wanna watch the match tbh
ha amale just tossing people into chairs
rico going overboard on talking her up - which is extra annoying because she’s selling that well by herself
oh no rico go away from the creepiness
the hip attack really does not fit her though (even though she is the only person on the planet to actually use her hip)
yeah i’ve been real hard on amale but she’s being real good here
OH SHIT
HOW DARE SHE
that ending came outta nowhere, do you feel like?
i’m much less pressed about amale being champ after watching the match, but i still think it’s garbage booking
hopefully she’ll get some good singles matches
seriously though amale what are you doing with your hand
ooo i like that purple rise shirt
slap him, lucky!
NO LUCKY DON’T PUT YOUR TITLE SHOT ON TH ELINE
PETE
PETE NO
oh no
what if pete and andy are in cahoots
OMG THAT PIC OF BOBBY WITH BRYAN IS SO CUTE
i didn’t watch the replays of carat so i never saw it!
make bobby heel again
ooo maybe they will in hamburg?
guys i just thougt about who i’d want the next champ to be and remembered that ilja’s heel now and up is down and left is right
the idea of cheering for dudes smoking is so weird
it’s so weird to me that europe as a whole still thinks smoking is cool?
man rico haaaaates janela
*tas voice* sweet i get to go home early!
why are they having andy translate instead of subtitling this???
oohhhh great! i though they should have a street fight or something after joey’s promo
i know the salt tas must be feeling; when you’re two minutes away from getting to close up early and then that one fucking family strolls in and then takes ten minutes to actually enter
is bobby dead
this is a street fight where are the weapons
....andy asbury park is NOT ‘gangsta’
here we go, the chairs
i think janela said he wasn’t gonna do the chair monkey flip spot anymore but i hope he does anyway
yeahhhhh i like joey a lot more as a booker than as a wrestler
though i do think this is kind of a mismatch of style, or just a mismatch in general
rico screaming about german wood
ok that superplex onto the table was great but it’s ridiculous that janela kicked out
come on man
yeah also a spinning package piledriver should end a match
*tas voice* i thought i was gonna get to leave early and now i’m gonna be here all fucking night
but have to end it with a submission right?
gotta admit, a lot of stuff i didn’t see coming! between this and the last show, maybe wxw is getting back on track?

adult strip Sex Games
Any time you hear about these 100% free online games, be on your soles since as most of us know, things are not as they seem to be, the majority of the time at the least. What I mean by this is that online games are not free. Sure, they're free-for-all to commence and get hooked on tho' as you progress there is the pull to buy coins and upgrade your crap just so you get the edge over the competition. adult games online has no rivalry, but you're yearning to check out each the stunners, so, the weak ones will most likely pay.
This game is indeed kind of fantastic. What instantly got me interested was that the pics were handsome. That Hentai sight always had the charm that satisfied my tasteful tastes so I gave this game a go. I got the gist of it all fairly promptly since I am a freakin' genius but I reckon that even someone who is not quite as gifted as I'm would find the hang of the game quite swiftly also. The point of the game is to collect a harem of 50 honeys and penetrate them all. Whopady-doo! Raunchy to forecast that, I understand but it's actually fairly interesting. As you progress thru the game you level up, use energy since pulverizing a harem isn't fairly as ordinary as it may seem, you need to sheath out currency, gals are known to deplete your wallet also you will find other stats that you simply build upon so that you get that harem.
This match has soul. I am not a monstrous worshipper of this Hentais and the Mangas but I discovered that this game is a sort of a parody of this culture. It's possible to pound hoes out of DBZ which is a tell about the sort of a sport this is. There are chief fights that resemble a WoW effort and you get to loot a infrequent chest or even capture a nymph in your harem.
Now so far as the competition, it's all online. The way this works is that you plumb these well-drawn babes and from the way you perform, you collect points. These points are listed online and are compared to other gamers so basically, you are vying with the rest of the players as to who's the finest banger in sex games online. In fact, you're competing about who will click that mouse button and who has the time to waste - not fucking dolls! But for the game's sake, let's pretend that fact is not a variable.
The fattest attraction of the game is how it's drawn. Seriously, the cartoonish sight that it's is supah appetizing and periodically it resembles a comic book. Together with the fact that it is highly addictive, I actually can not rip on adult games online much because it's shutting my criticism down in every single way I can devise. When you reach the higher levels you have to wait for the update. The upgrade happens weekly so it's not like it is possible to binge have fun the hell out of this game and supply a sexual disorder but you have to let up and wait for a conclude week. Yes, I know, it could be frustrating since you have a harem to gather but trust me, you will be supreme. Peaceful down.
Additionally, the designers are along with your dependence habits so they are providing you new quests and so are finding brainy ways to keep the game new so you keep coming back for that spike that your brain needs. Sure, you do not need to purchase them but after some time, you truly do get into this game that you do fantasy to get the darn things. Linger woke people.
sex games online is a well made animated match. It has all the components which will keep you hooked and interested on it a lengthy time. Assembling a harem in real life is not something that's likely to happen for you unless you were born in the west but as you very likely aren't, here's a way where you can live out your muddy fantasies and become the middle of unmanly attention. The fitness is a killer vehicle to spend your free time if you wish to go aroused a tiny and be entertained.
