Please write something with drivers praising female f1 driver during March because it’s womens history month. Anytime something bad happens to her on the grid she’s like someone hitting her car “how could they during womens history month 😞😧”

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

pairings: daniel ricciardo x driver!reader / lewis hamilton x driver!reader / sebastian vettel x driver!reader / small lando cameo

warnings: none?

author’s note: I know it’s not the entire month, but I saw lewis’ post for Stephanie and I couldn’t shake the thought of him making a special post for our gen z driver 🥺 I hope you like it, my darling!

“Have you seen Daniel’s new post on Insta?” Her performance coach asked her, scrolling through his own phone while they took a break.

Y/N shook her head, not having been on the social media app that day. “No, why?”

“He talks about you.” He grinned, handing his phone over to her with the post ready on the screen.

Daniel had updated his Instagram with a clip of an interview he had done, where he’s asked about which women in his life inspire him.

He starts off by speaking about his grandmothers and their move from Italy to Australia. Daniel also mentions his mother and the support she has given him.

“From an athletic point of view, there’s 2 people that come to mind. My, uh, former colleague and friend, Y/N Y/L,” he laughed, “her entire story on how she came into Formula 1 is very inspiring and she has brought a lot of positive change into the sport,”

“But she’s also a great person and she always has something incredible to say,” Daniel teased his younger friend, “so, yeah, Y/N is definitely an inspiration to me.”

The woman had a soft smile on her face throughout watching the entire video, touched by Daniel’s words.

She gave her coach’s phone back and grabbed her own from her bag, deciding to leave a comment under Daniel’s post.

YourUsername I didn’t even have to force you to say this 😭 thank you, Dan! 💙

A mere hours later, she had seen multiple notifications of people tagging her in a post Lewis had made. She opened the app again and saw an entire post dedicated to her made by the World Champion himself.

lewishamilton Beside Stephanie, I also want to highlight the journey of @/yourusername. I’ve been privileged to watch her make history as the first female driver to stand on a F1 podium, to grab pole position and to win a Grand Prix. Y/N, thank you for all the work you do and continue to do. You use your platform well and I can’t thank you enough for standing by me in the causes that I feel passionate about. I’m excited to continue to follow your journey. Happy #InternationalWomensDay to you, thank you Y/N.

Y/N felt emotional reading Lewis’s message. She had idolized the driver ever since she was a little girl and to have him appreciate and acknowledge her hard work means the world to her.

YourUsername thank you so much, Lewis! 🖤 not you making me cry on international women’s day 😭 this should be illegal

— lewishamilton ❤️

The official F1 Instagram account had also made a post dedicated to the female driver which had been reposted by several drivers on their Instagram stories like George, Carlos, Valtteri, Esteban and even Lando.

The McLaren driver had called her “my goat 🐐” in his caption, something that had made her chuckle.

The best message she had gotten for the special day, came from none other than Sebastian Vettel.

It was a shock to her when the German send her a text message as she hadn’t heard from him in a while, she figured he wanted the time for himself and his loved ones.

SEB VETTEL

Happy International Women’s Day, Y/N! Congratulations on P2 in Bahrain, a great start to the season. I hope you’re doing well and that you had a good winter break!

Today I was reminded of the amazing journey you’ve had since your karting days. I am honored that I have been able to watch you grow as a woman from so close. I’m very proud of you and I’ll keep supporting you, even if I’m not there as much anymore.

I hope you have a great day and I wish you the very best!

Big kiss! X

She send him a message back, thanking him for his beautiful words and asking him how he’s been doing. They send a few texts back and forth, updating each other on their lives.

Y/N also decided to pay a tribute on social media, posting several pictures of herself with the caption:

YourUsername happy international women’s day to myself, cause I’m the best woman I know ❤️‍🔥

𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙪𝙜𝙤𝙪 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘼 𝙂𝙮𝙢 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝

Synopsis: Self-explanatory.

Warnings: Bakugou is completely and utterly smitten with you, as he should be🥴. Light cursing. one mention of the N-word. I'm black do not worry

A/N: Send in requests please. I literally have nothing else to do.

1.5k words below the cut

MHA M.List Main M.List Navi

- Doesn't notice you at first

- probably heard about you from Kirishima

-"Bro, did you see the new girl in the gym?"

-"Idc about some girl, moron."

-"But she's so hot tho, and-"

-"So what?? I'm not gonna let some pretty face distract me, I'm only here to do one thing, and that doesn't include girls"

-Kirishima gives up on talking about you

-Everyone else talks about you too, though

-annoys him, now he doesn't want to meet you just to prove he's better than everyone else

- goes to the gym one morning and sees everyone huddled up

-they're all in his way

- "Move out of my way before I light all your asses up, the gym isn't a place to socialize bastards"

- everyone disperses to reveal you: repping out 45s on back squat

- and he really can't help if his eyes gravitate to that fat-

- "thank you for that" you had racked the bar and you were looking at him through the mirror

- realizes he was caught staring, and is low-key embarrassed

-so you know how this boi handles that

- He walks right past you without acknowledging you, as if you don't exist

- after that he starts to notice you everywhere.

- he's getting dumbbells, you are too

- He's getting on the treadmills, the only open spot is one next to you

-starts getting distracted, and it pisses him off, so he starts coming late at night instead of early in the morning

- lord you have ruined this whole Bois schedule

- low and behold, he comes to the gym, 11 o'clock, and sees only one other person. What are the odds it's you

- decides to just ignore you and proceeds with his workout

Bakugou was gradually getting pissed off. How dare you interrupt his workout. Coming to the gym at the same time as him, looking all good and-.

"Get it together Bakugou."

He turned up his music, turned up the speed on the treadmill. Trying to distract himself. He looked over at you, you were racking up your weights, just finishing your squat. Something was kind of…attractive…, about seeing you obliterate those weights the way you did. How you pushed yourself, even on the days it was obvious you didn't want to work. The shape of your butt when you went down. He wanted to be behind you, his hands on your waist, guiding your body as you bent your knees, and allowed the weight to crush you, Catching it with your legs. You could probably crush him with those...thighs.

No,

"Focus Bakugou, she's not even that cute".

Oh but you were. With that body, cut and toned , as if you lived in the gym. How could your waist be snatched like that while your as-. And your hair, so intricately designed. It looked as if it took hours. He knew it did. He would never admit it but, he looked it up when he got home one night. Intrigued. Not wanting to actually acknowledge the fact he was thinking about you. Not just in the gym but everywhere.

Like how when he saw Mina, it reminded him of a picture you posted on your Instagram(that he didn't follow,but constantly looked at) . Your hair was all out, fluffed and it looked so soft he wanted to reach through the screen and touch it. You had captioned it, "Wash day✨🙈". Or the time he was shopping, and saw that brown shirt that perfectly matched the shade of your skin. He only bought it because he liked it, the decision had nothing to do with you.

Turning up the speed for the third time, Bakugou ran. Hard. Maybe he could outrun these thoughts he kept having. This longing to reach out. Get to know you. He didn't need any distractions. But damn, did you make him want to break all his rules. Maybe just this one time..

"Hi, ___________________ bench?" Bakugou was so enraptured in his thoughts, he didn't see you walk up to him. Didn't feel you tap him. And he definitely didn't hear what you just said.

"Huh?", he responded, removing his earbud from his ear.

"Sorry, I'm [Name], and I was wondering if when you're finished with that, would you spot me on bench?"

Your voice was just as angelic as you looked. And It made his heart flutter, or could that have been your lips. Full and brown, with a pink shade towards the center. And it could have easily been the way you looked up at him, with those eyes. Looking into his, unafraid and filled with question.

But what effected him the most, was the anger in your eyes when he responded with a curt,

"No"

,and continued running, as if you weren't there. The drop in his stomach. And what scared him , was the way he wanted to apologize, say sorry, take it all back, just to see you smile at him again. And not the smile you were giving him right now, that was so obviously fake as you said

"Okay that's fine :)"

,and walked off.

"Idiot", Bakugou muttered to himself. Oh well, he really didn't need any distractions. He put his headphones back on and attempted to run for a couple more minutes. Still thinking about you, and the interaction from earlier, Bakugou just decided to call it quits, and Try again tomorrow.

As Bakugou gathered his things, he heard small, breathy noises. Almost as if… someone was.. crying. Bakugou whipped around and there you were, lying on your back, trying to stop the weight of the bar from crushing your chest. Bakugou ran over to you and quickly helped you rack the bar. Jesus, was it heavy. "Thanks, that bar almost took me out", you joked. You thought this was funny? What kinda psychotic-. As you sat up, trying to catch your breath, Bakugou let you have it.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT. YOU MUST HAVE A DEATH WISH??. YOU DUMBASS. YOU CANT LIFT THAT !!YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY ALMOST DYING, MORONS LIKE YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN THE GYM."

"Excuse me".

Bakugou watched as your demeanor shifted from relaxed to furious all in a matter of seconds. You stood up. Looked him in his eye. And got right up in his face.

"First of all, I asked you for help, and you said no. What you thought I wasn't going to work out just because you wanted to be an asshole?. Naw Nigga I don't need you. And second of all, I don't know who you think you are, but you must have lost your ever-lovin' mind if you think you're gonna talk to me just any kinda way. Boy you are outchyo tree. So you better fix it before I fix it for you."

Bakugou just stared.

"Jeez, got me in here acting a fool." Bakugou stood there for a minute. Trying to process the fact that you had just talked to him the way you did. He was shocked. And kind of turned on. Bakugou Laughed.

"I don't see what's funny."

He watched as you pouted, clearly not angry anymore. He found it cute how quickly you could change moods. And it only intensified his desire to get to know you. Before he could lose his nerve, Bakugou snatched your phone.(a/n: lemme tell you, 'ass. whoopin.)

"Boy, gimme my stuff back"

"Hold on, I'm doin' somethin'."

You rolled your eyes at him. "Okay don't nothin take that long, gimme my stuff back now."

"Calm down woman, here".

Bakugou watched your face, looking for signs of rejection or disgust, as you looked at "Bakugou 😏" typed into your phone along with his number. "I didn't ask you for this" you said, but the smirk on your face revealed to him your joking nature. "You didn't have to, you obviously need a workout partner, and since you've been following me around like a fan girl, I decided to do you a favor. If you're going to insist on being a stalker you might as well do it with my permission", Bakugou said, smirking back at you. "Boy ain't nobody following you, I came here tonight because you always have your eyes on me, tracking my every move." Bakugou flushed red.

"What you thought I didn't notice??Boy you ain't it as slick as you think you are" you told him, and there was the sexy ass smirk again.

"Whatever, text me or don't, your choice" the blonde hair boy said, walking away.

Walking back to the dorms Bakugou was a little disheartened, as to how you didn't say anything back to him on the way out. "Well" he thought to himself "I don't need any distractions anyway". But he sure forgot that when he heard the ping is his pocket, and opened up his phone to see a message from an unknown number.

do you have any tips for leaving compliments on other people's art ?? your tags are always so well phrased !

oooo oooooooooooooo uuhhhhhhhh hmmm!

firstly, thank you!! i'm rather glad to hear that! i try quite hard to leave meaningful comments so it's nice when folks notice or appreciate it!

outside of commenting on the work, i first consider the tone of what i'm saying and who i'm saying it to.

i always try to make sure that what i'm saying will be appreciated by the person! that's the point. for the most part i leave comments to bring joy to the op, and thank them for their hard work, for being here and sharing art that made me happy! if i'm speaking to a mutual or friend, there's gonna be inside jokes and probably an amount of casual yelling. possibly even a little friendly roast, if i know them well enough. if i'm speaking with someone i don't know as well i try to keep it a little more professional, but i keep in mind that this is a fandom so an amount of yelling and screaming is expected. i tend to think about what i would like from someone else.

also if i notice that a caption or a blogs about is not in english i double check. if english is not the first language of the artist i make sure to construct tags that are easily translated and i use only and exclusively positive phrases. saying things like "delete this!!!! /pos" or "eating my own hands" can be totally lost in translation. i also keep in mind the age of the OP. don't tag as though you're Looking Disrespectfully at the art of a minor, even if that's your favourite blorbo.

as for how to comment on art or storytelling itself, this is indeed a learned skill, and it can be helped by training your eye to understand different things in artwork. but it's easy to start practicing! this is intuitive to me now, but an easy way to begin is to pick out one or two things that really stand out to you on a piece. (examples could be line quality; is it smooth? neat? textured? full of emotion?, shading: is it crisp? atmospheric? realistically rendered?, or colour choice: is it vibrant? is it moody? is it perfectly on model?) and draw attention to them and how the artist successfully used them to make the piece work.

if the piece includes design-work, pick something of that which you like as well. (clothes, colour choices, abilities, parallels to other characters, totally new or unique concepts that you haven't seen before. if you see your favourite colour combos or notions, let them know, but if it's a stranger remember they made the design for themselves, and you just share (good) tastes!) if you really want to make an artist/designer/storyteller's day, try to find the Little Thing that they've snuck into their art or design that ties into the story or lore that they are telling. even guesses to this end tend to be appreciated!

generally useful things you can also comment on are how well an artist has utilised a medium for its strengths, especially if the medium is a little unusual. if someone @'d me in particular i make sure to acknowledge that too because they probably read me for something and i should acknowledge the effort!

another thing i also always, always encourage, is to try to periodically share and comment on the work of people who are either less experienced or who have less visibility than you. especially if you have more of a platform! if you want to keep your blog clean of too many reblogs for aesthetic or professional reasons you can even go through and remove them later, but sharing the work of smaller accounts- even temporarily- makes such a huge difference! and encouraging + supporting younger or beginner artists is something we should be endeavouring to do as much as possible!

at the end of the day, i always just try to be very earnest in my tags.

there is generally no reason to withhold any praises i can think of, because it's usually nice to have your work perceived and appreciated! i personally loooovvve long rambling tags, screaming tags, stuff like "AAHH NOOOOOOO (THE BLORBO)" and so on. i try to leave the kind of thoughtful comments that i like (and am lucky enough) to receive, and i try to share artwork from a wide variety of people!

#asks #it's something you can get better at with practice and with training your eye to see Little Things in artwork #at understanding the components that an artwork is made up of; and picking the bits that are actually Popping Out to you in the moment!#i hope this helps?? it just takes a bit of Time. moreso than just hitting the reblog button! so i understand why not everyone can do it #i tend to shove stuff into my drafts for weeks/months and will go through and add tags when i have some downtime.#but all my stuff is also queued for the most part.#also if i ever tag something an OP is uncomfortable with; i am trusting they would reach out to me!!#sorry to all the folks who's pictures of galacta knight i have reblogged just going like UHHHHHHH because my brain short circuited #starflungs personal tag #<- sorta?

Now that I’ve seen the episode with captioning…

The one thing I keep coming back to is that the Djinn said outright that his job is to teach his “masters” lessons about themselves and their desires and being better people. He’s supposed to punish greed, lust, pride, etc. So that makes the “punishment” he chose for Nandor that much more of a gutpunch.

He forces Nandor to think of Guillermo every time he uses his new dick, but more than that, he makes him think of what he’s done for him. He’s pinned Nandor immediately, hasn’t he? He understands the very strange brand of selfish selflessness he has to him, where he’s ostensibly thinking about pleasing others, but in a way that always puts his own emotions first.

And then he looks at Guillermo and he pins him down immediately, too, doesn’t he? I think this was a kind of revenge towards Guillermo, too. Not because he’s done anything wrong, per se, though. More just because he irritated him. lmao.

He’s looking at these two idiots and he sees the years and years of devotion and dismissiveness and the slowly building tenderness and respect between them that neither will examine too closely. He sees the way that Guillermo is trying to pull away but just can’t manage it. He sees the way that Nandor is finally, finally starting to understand everything Guillermo has always done for him.

He’s found those little wounds in them and he’s pressing down hard.

He wants to force Nandor to understand how careless he’s been towards the best thing he has in his life. How dismissive he’s been towards the truly astronomical efforts Guillermo has put into making his desires a reality. How smart and talented and fierce Guillermo really is. How he’s a shark at the table when he’s just fucking allowed to be. He wants to make Nandor acknowledge what he has right next to him — and that he might’ve already lost it due to his own dickishness. That’s his lesson. That’s his revenge.

And Guillermo? He just wants to make Guillermo squirm. He wanted to put Guillermo in his place. That part, that smug little smile at the end, that part felt personal. I love that. I love that Guillermo went head to head with a fucking DJINN and would’ve come out on top if Nandor hadn’t fucked it up at the last minute. I love that the Djinn acknowledges Guillermo’s power and potential even if Nandor doesn’t, and that making Nandor acknowledge Guillermo’s passion and strength and cunning is a punishment for them both.

Fuck!! I am spilling over with emotion!! I love that Djinn pushing Nandor towards understanding real love (that may not currently be within reach for him) is his revenge for Nandor’s dumbass wife search. How kind and cruel and perfect!

(Note: I do not think that Guillermo is permanently out of reach for Nandor! But he’ll probably get in some quality pining time before it’s his turn.)

Side note: I also noticed that the Djinn was like “it wasn’t even that much bigger than yours already was, I was surprised you wanted more” so boyyyy is Nandor’s greed and perfectionism one of the issues he’s annoyed at! He’s been annoyed by that this whole damn time! He’s always chasing after something nebulously “better” than what he already has without realizing that what he already has is great! That’s the real character flaw here that’s being punished! That’s why finally noticing Guillermo was his punishment! But that’s a whole different rant!

#I also think Guillermo was having fun outfoxing the djinn!#I love him!#nandermo #wwdits #wwdits s4 spoilers #nandor the relentless #guillermo de la cruz

I know that every artist i follow has gone through this at some point, the popular artists many times! But god it does feel dirty getting a notification that someone has tagged you in an app and realizing that it’s because they’ve found your art posted somewhere without credit.

Like, not to be dramatic but my art is from my hands and my heart. And seeing it posted somewhere without any reference to me feels like someone taking an up close photo of me on the street and posting it with the caption “dunno who this is but nice figure”. Which, like, flattering? I’m a way? But also humiliating. You didn’t respect me enough to share my name with the world, just the product of my work.

I feel truly fucking thankful for everyone who does tag me when they find my art! You all are the real MVPs! I just don’t understand what possesses people to think that uncredited art is okay.

Like, I got the most viral tweet I’ve ever experienced with my little robot art yesterday, 1.5k likes!!! Incredible!!! And then found out someone had reposted it and that one was at 8k likes. That’s eight thousand people who will never know who I am.

Then, when the reposter finally acknowledged me, they asked what I’d like them to do. Which, it’s nice that they did, I suppose? But to put the burden back on me, the person who’s been stolen from, actually sort of sucks. Because the right answer is to delete theirs and retweet mine. That feels so obviously right to me. But to actually have to tell them that makes me feel demanding, like I’m going to be asking too much of them and am making such a big deal out of a piece that is truly so small. So much fan art was made for Satellite and mine was the least of many great pieces, it feels hard to advocate for something when I know so many better and more experienced artists in our fandom are dealing with the same situation on the daily.

And this is, unfortunately, a whiny post. I swear I will not be a bummer about this after this. I am just sad about the lack of respect and understanding about how much art really matters to the people who create it. These creations are my children.

Anyway, go give love to your fan artists. Your gif makers. Your edit and manip makers. They do so much and create such amazing pieces and deserve to be showered with joy and happiness.

#long post #fandom meta #I SWEAR I JUST HAD TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST I DO NOT WANT TO BE A DOWNER ON THE DASH #it just sucks after everything on twitter yesterday to find it on TikTok today!

i think i remember you saying the science team would rewatch the videos together( like the cast commentaries,) and i was curious to see if you would talk a bit about that? like… how they reacted to certain things and scenes, if or how they talked it out, stuff like that… i’ve been wanting to ask this for sooooo long but just now got the confidence to, i love this verse sooooo much !!! its been living rent free in my head ever since i first read the series… its the only way i can think of post-canon i love it so much… ok thats all i hope you have a good day !!!

First I gotta say Thank You and I'm making my first official rent payment for the real estate in here. It has always been the goal to inspire people to think about the team like this and I am SO grateful for every ask sent and conversation had. But YES let's talk about watching

Gordon gave the team the option to watch the VODs and edits on their own, but was convinced to make it a group activity by his friends. This ended up being to precursor to their regular movie nights-- everybody met up in Tommy's basement to watch the edits together over a couple days. (Nobody wanted the emotional whiplash of going into Act 3 unprepared.)

One of the key things that everyone has a reaction to is what fonts and text colors Gordon chose for them.

Benrey likes his text color well enough, but would have preferred purple. He also thinks his font could have been something way cooler. He also thinks it's weird that he and Forzen have the same font, and accuses Gordon of being lazy.

Tommy tells Gordon that he likes his font and color, but it's hard to tell how he really feels. He does say that while his favorite color is actually red, he knows that can be a bit harder to read against a dark background.

Bubby is insulted that he was given Times New Roman, legendary as a default font, but changes his tune when told it's actually Sylfaen. Entirely different! With this, he and Coomer are both satisfied with their captions. In fact, their fonts are in their favorite colors... sort of. Coomer actually prefers cyan, while Bubby likes green.

Gordon actually got Darnold's favorite color dead on. He's started using his typeface, Terminal Grotesque, on most documents and correspondence. He hasn't verbally acknowledged this, but Gordon's noticed. It makes him smile.

G-Man thinks his font is very practical. That's all he's said on the matter.

Other Notable Reactions

Bubby had completely forgotten that Gordon didn't believe him about his name. Upon being reminded, he went "Wait, hang on, hang on. What the fuck, Gordon? Who DOES that?" (Darnold felt validated by this.)

Coomer laughs uproariously at his own jokes and slips of the tongue.

"So Tommy. Benrey said you like mean people, do you... do you have any idea what he meant by that?" "Oh! Well, you know." He failed to elaborate.

The screen going black during the ambush came as a surprise to the team. Everyone remembers actually seeing the events play out, though in hindsight, Coomer questions his own memory. There's a lot about that whole stretch of time that he has questions about, but he knows they can't be answered.

Bubby goes out of his way to point out situations where he was playing a trick or just straight-up lying to his friends. Part of it is for full disclosure, part is to brag about what a funny guy he is.

Gordon is uncomfortable with clips where he is condescending to or impatient with the science team. Benrey tries to diffuse his anxieties by pointing them out directly and highlighting all of his insecurities. He's a great friend. He tries his best.

I feel like that in itself is a metaphor. something that is shamed by many is still loved by someone. ( not to sound like I'm reading too far into it lol ) I don't like that ppl associate most insects with negative things in symbolism, it feels almost cruel to them. I like your art including insects so much because it always feels like they and the subject of the piece are cared about, acknowledged as a regular living being, and as u said, loved.

the thing is that althaea is never shamed or feels shame though, a big part of althaea's lore is that she doesnt know what shes doing is disliked by some and seen as weird!

althaea and those around her never feel ashamed for loving her and the insects in her art are never about shame, the metaphor has always been about love :] because i often make it sound like althaea is horribly disliked or outcasted when its quite the opposite, due to amaurotine culture people Cant Really shame althaea because shes a high seated person who does a lot of work for the people, so everyone holds their tongue, thus continuing the fact that althaea knows no concept of shame :-------o its sort of hard for me to explain but if i can get some photos i can show you

this one was captioned "Predators quickly become sick after eating the monarch butterfly, which is why many predators go after the eggs or the caterpillars instead" which was about how the Milkweed plant has toxins in it that make birds sick but monarch butterflies can eat, and it shows a monarch caterpillar eating through althaea like a leaf

this was a specific piece about althaea's pregnancy, because she has an ectoptic pregnancy where the fertilized egg groes outside of the uterus. Althaea accepts what may happen with a pregnancy like this, which is often painful and life threatening, but althaea still accepts this --- this is represented by a monarch caterpillar eating at her internally and her gently letting it touch her finger, while her hands are almost in a craddled position like she is holding a child. The caterpillar can become toxic upon metamorphosizing into a butterfly, like how her pregnancy can become dangerous if she continues to let it fertilize, but she still lets it bore its holes in her body because she loves it. this is why i say even in ''negative'' pieces the subject of the bug is still neutral to positive --- this represents something negative, but the piece itself shows althaea still giving the ''bug'' her kindness for its nature

this themis piece was captioned with a chunk from the wikipedia page for Matriphagy --- the act of the children of an animal eating their mothers soon after birth. The drawing itself isnt a representation of matriphagy, but rather the fact that many people are scared of matriphagy naturally occuring in certain animals because they see it as bizarre and frightening, especially from animals they already see as ''creepy/violent'' like tarantulas

the tarantula outline here, representing althaea, hangs over a cradled themis, whos hands and body and clothes are smeared with a substance the same color as the tarantula's body. This was a general illustration to depict how willing Althaea was to give over herself to Themis despite them being entirely unrelated, because Althaea doted on and oversaw themis as a child like a motherly figure. She is someone willing to do anything and sacrifice anything for him, so its represented in how if they were both tarantulas, althaea would willingly give herself over to matriphagy if it meant the survival of those she cares about, themis being one of them.

this ones a personal favorite --- ''flight animals who eat each other'' sounded a lot like ''flight animals who need each other'' in my mind, and hermes (represented by the bird) and althaea (represented by the butterfly) work perfectly as friends --- they are more alike than they are different, and even though birds consume butterflies they are not represented by the food chain, but by the fact they need each other. Althaea needs someone who will truly see her for what she is, and Hermes needs someone who will listen to him for once, so it pairs well that they are represented by opposing animals yet they are the closest to each other :]

so none of these really represent shame, but entirely ignores the pain of being a ''weirdo'' to go straight for how much althaea is loved and loves for who she is, so i would still never consider anything i make with the bug motif have to do with shame because its moreso actively shutting out that concept entirely, going ''we will ignore the outside voices and only look in'' type of deal :] this also gave me a chance to talk about some piece sof art cause i like explaining my thinking behind stuff so thank you LOL

#heart hands for you anon thats very sweet to say ty

🚨 INCOMING: SOFT JOSH THOUGHT 🚨

Hi mama Shelly! Since you’re feeling a bit out of it emotionally, I wanted to send you this little thought that’s been floating around in my head.

You’re dating Josh, and he’s a bit anxious about making your relationship public, so it causes some anxiety on your end. One night out with the guys, you’re sitting at the table when a fan approaches and is starstruck, asking everyone for a group photo and you offer to take it. The fan doesn’t question who you are until after the photo is taken and you’re asking if they’re good photos. Jake, being the goof that he is, butts in and says “oh she’s our personal photographer”, when that’s obviously not the case, and everyone laughs it off, before the fan leaves and you all go back to your night. This however, leaves you feeling a bit miffed and josh as well, but you don’t really notice until he excuses himself to go get another drink and one for you, when he gets approached by the same fan. You watch the interaction while Jake and Sam try to engage you in conversation, noticing that it bothers you. When Josh comes back, Sam instigates and asks him what she wanted. He flippantly replies saying that she asked if she could buy him a drink and possibly get his number. He laughs this off, saying he politely rejected her before taking a sip of his drink. At this point you’re annoyed, and excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. Instead of going to the restroom, you step outside and soon, you find that Josh has followed you.

He quietly asks if you’re okay, noticing your prickly demeanor. “I know you’re not fine, please talk to me.” You just sigh and rub your forehead, saying that if he can’t even disclose that he’s in a relationship to a random fan then why are you even doing this? His face falls and he quickly holds you in a tight embrace, rubbing your back soothingly. Pulling away, he stares deep into your eyes, saying that he’s so happy to have you, but is scared of putting you in the limelight and doesn’t want his relationship to be rendered to public scrutiny because he values what you two have between each other. You nod, resigned, before he purses his lips and acknowledges that he has an idea. Telling you to stay out there, he quickly leaves and returns with Jake.

“Since this dumbass made that comment about you, the tables are turning. Jake, make sure to take some good fucking pictures of me and my girl, because she looks stunning and I want to show her off!”

This leads to you two taking some very sweet photos together, before josh takes some of his own of just you. Unbeknownst to you, about an hour later your phone is blowing up, because josh had posted not only the photos of you both on his main Instagram account, with the caption “my darling girl and I spending a night out on the town.” He also the solo photos of you on his story, with similar sappy captions like “my most beautiful girl,” and “with something so gorgeous, how can I not want to show her off?” Pretty much hard-launching your relationship to the public 🥺

This is all I’m gonna think about now.

You’re an Angel thank you so much for this 🤍

So are we gonna talk about how we have to face homophobia on a daily basis online and it has not once been addressed by Netflix or the writers like ever. And it's not like they do not see any of that stuff happening. It's happening basically HD on Twitter.

And the way they do not even bother to say something, even though they were the ones who teased Byler during the whole pride month. Literally, multiple queer fans felt like they received a slap in the face, yet no one said anything regarding the treatment of Robin and Will in this season. And all this happening during the pride month was trash. Never once addressing any of this and the treatment Will got from the show and by the fans... was a choice. Not to mention them constantly fueling homophobia on twitter or queerbaity posts are... a choice.

It's just simply disappointing and makes it harder to respect the writers.

I just want to preface this by saying that homophobia is bad. Obviously. It will always be bad and how I feel about that doesn’t change just because I’m not acknowledging it every time it occurs.

I’ve had asks like this before where I say pretty much the same thing every time, and so I considered not posting this bc I just sound like a broken record.

To be clear, the writers have posted in the past about how fans should be able to ship whoever they want to ship, at a moment in particular when people were hating on byler and non-canon queer ships in general. And so we can’t expect them to come to the rescue every time something is blowing up on Twitter. Otherwise, they would never have a day off.

Twitter is a cesspool and giving attention to it only makes it worse, that’s what it really boils down to. Once you open up that can of worms, it never ends.

It isn’t even just homophobia on there. Every form of bigotry thrives on that platform, where everyday they’re mad about something and demand everyone to confront it or else. And that’s just not healthy. Its not sustainable at all.

And to be clear, all sides on there have really, really toxic stans, including bylers. Not all of them are toxic, but it’s really hard to get by on there unless you can handle seeing that stuff on a daily basis. Some byler discourse on Twitter is a large part of the reason people want to claim all bylers hate El. And it's because of the toxic ship wars on there, where they always take it too far and create division by hating on Will or El or Mike, and then it stretches to the actors and goes on and on. All of that drama is best to ignore for your sanity. Confronting it won’t solve anything. A lot of those people, even when faced with common sense, still choose the road that revolves around hatred and disrespect without any remorse. It’s not worth getting worked up over.

Also want to make clear that the original tweet Stranger Things posted had nothing to do with byler. Shippers on Twitter will make any and every post about their ship and pressure the people running the account to post something. The comments are always filled with all sorts of tweets like that so it’s not just bylers either. This means it arguably could have been anyone that was called out for commenting something unrelated to the post. It just so happens that byler is getting a lot more popular, to the point where they do dominate on Twitter as a platform considering most of the ga doesn't even like milkvan anymore anyways, and a lot more people are open to byler. So I would imagine most of the comments did look something like that.

When it comes to queer-baiting from official Netflix accounts last summer, I do think that the only reason they did that stuff, like make posts with byler in the literal caption on tiktoks, was because it was during an official promotional circuit that focused on byler in the penultimate season. If byler is endgame though they couldn't disclose that, they arguably did exactly what they had to do. They had to refer to it by name to get more people aware of it, but also keep it subtle, and they especially had to drop it post vol 2 because s4 closed off in a way that wanted us to think milkvan was endgame based on the monologue.

The thing about queer-baiting and why it is so fucking shitty, is because it almost always leads no where. They do all of that stuff, with the creators behind the scenes knowing it will never happen. They mock and hype it up and get people psyched, only for it to lead to nowhere. That's how it's always been.

The point of how they are approaching byler, is to give the impression it's like every other queer-bait before, only to flip the switch. The beauty of it, is all of these people that have been wrong before, and were told they were be going to be wrong again, weren't wrong this time. And that's going to be even more satisfying after they pull the rug under those that were telling bylers to know their place and to accept that it's like every other queer-bait. Once and for all when s5 comes out, the roles will switch and it will be much more satisfying than them just laying it all out there at any point in advance super obviously.

Like people who are paying attention, know the message of the show goes against all of those things and those that don’t and insist that doesn’t play a role, are the ones who have to wait to find out, with them tuning until the very end only to realize they were the ones wrong.

And there is a difference between the st writers account, who is often an intern directly in very close contact with the writers, or the writers themselves potentially at any given time. Whereas the official netflix accounts are run by various interns connected to Netflix, with people above them calling the shots for official major posts. Though stuff like replies is often given at the discretion of the person running the account at that moment. Sometimes they say stuff that doesn't land or that was inconsiderate. I'm sure there has been instances of people being fired in the worst cases of stuff going down. But in this case, it really is just a case of fans being chronically online and making everything about ships when it never was in the first place.

Also, in terms of the writers, there is a strike rn so under no circumstances will the writers be tweeting at all, bc that’s the whole point of striking, not participating in writers duties. And that is literally a writers account for Netflix’s Stranger Things.

I also try to keep this rule for myself on here, but believe me when I say, you do not need to follow the crowd and give input into every drama that arises.

We have our own drama over here on tumblr too, so it's not like we're by any means perfect at all times. Sometimes one person says something and suddenly people are saying that a bunch of people are saying that even though it was only one person and now everyone has to give their two cents and you can't go in the tag without being bombarded with the same posts rehashing it from every which angle.

But you can choose to not participate every single time something occurs. You can choose to live your life without reacting to every given thing. That's just a lot better of a way to live mental health wise too. Like I personally don't want to be confronted with a bunch of homophobia in the tag bc one person said something. And that's also why we try to encourage people to just block the sloppy seconds anon, bc most of us don't want to see that in the tag. We come here for appreciation and making connections not giving homophobes a platform to spout their bs.

I will probably make a post about this again inevitably when the next big thing happens.

But just remember, the back and forth in general with these accounts messing with fans in regards to ship wars is far from over (well at least 2 years max).

Also keep in mind, we are on hiatus rn, so anything from ST accounts is going to be related to like press and merchandise outside of the show itself, which we saw with this one today that ignited all of this, was related to a ST game releasing...

When the promotional circuit finally starts, like in the months up to release, that's when you're going to see really intentional promotion that was planned ahead of time, months in advance, by experts and graphic designers working closely with people from the ST production on their vision of what they want to hint at in promotion.

The first promotional post for s5 we can look forward to, is the picture they are bound to post when announcing the first day of filming. With the strike it's hard to know when that will be, but once the strike is over hopefully with a fair deal made for the writers, that post announcing filming will be dropping soon after presumably.

In the mean time lets try to make this a space that isn't like Twitter where everything is so deep and we need to call it out. More often than not it's not that deep and the trolls don't deserve our attention in the first place. The best way to piss them off is to keep having a good time and ignore them. They hate that shit more than anything lol!

#byler #byler tumblr #twitter #st writers #queerbaiting #is bad #but if we're dealing with a straight bait situation...#giving the assumption this is queerbait for as long as they can #is going to make the rug being pulled that much more satisfying to those that have been through this and are going to finally be right #it's revolutionary tbh #and when people inevitably are like genuinely homophobic about the results of the show itself #as opposed to mindless ship wars with the sole purpose of getting a rise out of the opposing side #it will actually mean something to confront it when they are making clear where they stand on things when the show speaks for itself #s5 is going to be followed by press and interviews and cons and a bunch of opportunities for them to call out fans for the rest of eternity #my advice #stay off stan twitter #for your sanity

I'm honestly not sure how you could have missed the fact that ravewood was a reposter? People have talked about it extensively, and the art they reposted never matched their url. If you need me to do the labour for you, https://www.tumblr.com/genavere/724723129006604288?source=share here's your most recent offense. https://www.tumblr.com/54prowl/696176793830506496/a-couple-of-things-i-check-to-know-if-the-person?source=share Here's a guide to take notes from, because the post I linked here has so many blatant signs of reposting that it's laughable. Also it doesn't stop being art theft just because it's funny. If you're reblogging stolen work just because it makes you and other people happy, that's still art theft and it's still morally wrong. If your fics that you worked hard on were reposted without credit, I'm sure you wouldn't be too delighted with that. I've given you the resources so please do better.

"If you need me to do the labour for you, https://www.tumblr.com/genavere/724723129006604288?source=share here's your most recent offense."

Remember how I said there was one that I was questionable on? Yeah, that was the one. It's has now been deleted. After you politely informed me it was indeed the one, I did a google search, couldn't find the original artist to credit, so I deleted it.

Did I do my diligence on it? No. Why? It was posted in 2020 and I didn't do a deep dive of the blog. I don't check every account.

"I'm honestly not sure how you could have missed the fact that ravewood was a reposter? People have talked about it extensively, and the art they reposted never matched their url."

Ravewood was one of the first users I came across when I came back to tumblr last year and was looking for Fairy Tail content. After being on the platform again for a couple of months and getting my toes wet, that's when I took off my rose-colored glasses and realized what they were.

At that point in time, I knew no one in the fandom and was hungry.

An important note about people on the internet: Not everyone is in the loop, not everyone is in social circles, and not everyone sees the warning posts right away, either.

Is it an excuse? Yes, and I acknowledge that and the mistakes I've made.

So, now that you have schooled me, thank you for doing the labor for me.

Here is also somethings from that blog you recommended, along with the link for anyone interested:

"Also it doesn't stop being art theft just because it's funny. If you're reblogging stolen work just because it makes you and other people happy, that's still art theft and it's still morally wrong."

Regarding when what I meant by making people happy: it's the memes.

Check out this funny video that I reblogged:

It was great fun watching that. The poor guy that is shaking, I felt sooo bad for him.

How about this one about the grandson of Ulysses S. Grant writing gay vampire fiction:

Lovely information about a gentleman who has defied social norms and prejudice to be with his husband for so long and to write what he is passionate about.

"...because the post I linked here has so many blatant signs of reposting that it's laughable." "Please be more careful when you're reblogging fan art. On more than one occassion you've reblogged stolen fan art which gets spread around even more and that's so unfair to the artists."

If your original message had said: "Hey, this one [link] that you reblogged is stolen, would you mind taking it down or crediting the artist?"

I would have been like: "Oh shoot, sorry about that! Thank you for letting me know!" and taken it down. Would have been appreciative, even.

But you weren't.

Right out of the gate, you were standoffish. The tone felt like you said your piece and were not willing to have a conversation. Not willing to be helpful in letting me know which of the many stolen fanarts you accused me of.

That tone carries through into this ask.

Do I usually try to make sure I reblog credited art? Yes, and as I learn more about how things should be, like trying to attach the original tags the person put, I adapt.

Do I always catch everything? No, cause I am human and sometimes you just can't do better.

"If your fics that you worked hard on were reposted without credit, I'm sure you wouldn't be too delighted with that."

Would I be happy if my fics were reposted without credit? No, cause I would like to know what people think of them and I would not be able to see if they enjoyed them or thought they were trash.

Has this happened? Yes, and with original works, too. Happened to a book that I had self-published, which meant potential lost revenue.

Would I blame someone who reblogged from someone else it if I found out? No. I would let them know that it had been reposted without my consent and ask if they could edit their post to give credit, or take it down and reblog mine.

"I've given you the resources so please do better."

You did give me a resource, which I appreciate.

But, please note, that you could do better, too. Kindness goes a long way, and is a far better teaching tool.

On a last note, how about this one I also reblogged:

#ask answered #anon ask answered #anon #anonymous #anon ask #stolen work #stolen work resource #Is this petty?#The last one is for sure #Spent WAY too much time on this #Should I go back to sleep?#I dunno #Oh well #I guess this shows my passive aggressive side a bit #Pretty sure that Inuyasha pic made everything I said above about kindness null and void

Din Djarin is holding Grogu while he talks to Ahsoka Tano on Corvus. Image from The Mandalorian, Season 2, Episode 5, The Jedi. Calendar from DataWorks. Captions read: I'll help you with your problem, if you see to it that Grogu is properly trained. The Mandalorian.

Once upon a time, a very special child was born in the Jedi Temple. Very special.

He wasn’t like human children. He wasn’t squishing his eyes closed. He wasn’t surprised and sometimes startled at every new thing he saw, or heard, or felt. No. He wasn’t too cold either. Nope.

As soon as the people who assisted with his birth looked the other way, he jumped off the surface he’d been laying on and landed on the floor. He squeaked.

What the heck! The floor was smooth and hard and much closer than he thought.

The people in the room were startled to say the least. There was some rushing about which the new born found very entertaining to say the least. He thought, immediately, that it was a game. He didn’t know why he knew what games were, but he knew them when he saw them and this one was tending toward the spectacular.

People went to and fro and tried to box him in. A couple of them collided into each other. He didn’t do anything to cause that, but the looks they gave him after that happened, well, he now knew what respect looked and sounded like. That was pretty great. Not powerful but safe, secure. Acknowledged. Pretty great.

A voice spoke to him. It was soothing and demanding at the same time. Just one word.

‘Grogu.’

Was that his name? He knew it probably was his name, but he didn’t know why he knew that. That, in itself, seemed pretty strange. How could you know what a name was, but be unsure if the name spoken was yours or not? Someone must have told him. But who?

He supposed with others that knowledge would have been pretty plain. He sensed that hundreds if not thousands could have told him things. He didn’t want to sift through all that data to figure out the problem at hand. That was a lot of effort for something he personally didn’t care very much about in the moment. He still wanted to play the game.

He was about to dodge to one side or the other when two things happened at once, much to his embarrassment.

‘Grogu. No.’

Then he found himself floating in the air and landing gently on the surface he had vacated just a few moments earlier.

That hadn’t just been embarrassing. It was also annoying. How was he supposed to play the game if people blocked him?

‘Young one, you must show respect to the people that aided in your birth. You will not play games with them.’

‘Eh?’

Grogu thought it was appropriate to try to act confused and just the tiniest bit apologetic. He titled his head and let his ears droop just a little. He sensed that the people nearest to him found this all very endearing. Endearing felt nice. They relaxed a little, caught there breath and thought that he was perhaps the cutest person they had ever seen. He liked all of that.

‘Too smart is he. Heard all the others, he has. We have much to do and he must be part of it all.’

Hmmm. Another voice. Clear. Demanding. Lilting. Lilting? When did he learn that word? Was it worth finding out? No. It was not. At least not now. Maybe later.

‘Young one, let the others examine you. We must know that you are well and true. You are precious and must be treated like the balance of the Force rests on you, for it does.’

Grogu thought that was kind of important sounding and that made him feel good. For about a tenth of a second.

‘Told you have I, not the one is he. There is another.’

The second voice sounded put out and annoyed, as if this conversation had occurred many times without a change in the conflict between the two voices. He liked what the first voice had said better.

‘There may be another but he has a role that you do not yet see. He has already learned things that he will not unlearn.’

Huh? Was he precious or not? Grogu liked the idea of being precious. It sounded comforting. Warm. Loved.

‘So this is the one you have been waiting on. Full of mischief. We will have our hands full with him.’

Grogu looked up at the tall person with the dark, dark skin and coo’d. He wanted them to know that he wasn’t mischievous on purpose. If he found mischief, well, that was only because it was in his path and he could not avoid it. He did not think he should try to avoid his path.

‘Bonded with him early you have. Good that is. In your care he will be until another is found.’

‘I will do my best.’

Grogu looked up at the tall man and smiled. He would do his best as well. He would take his training very seriously and focus on how to make sure that the mischief on his path was properly identified, categorized, and controlled. Not for his own sake, but the sake of his new friend. It was clear to Grogu that his new friend didn’t have a lot of experience with it. He wondered why and then decided it didn’t matter. They were both new to this and would just have to take it one day at a time. Easy peasy. Right?

Din Djarin speaking to Ahsoka Tano (off screen). Image from The Mandalorian, Season 2, Episode 5, The Jedi. Captions read: If you see to it that Grogu is properly trained.

Okay according to you, they both are queer and both are equally talented and extremely nice human beings then I have only one question which is why only one is getting all the privileges and other is getting the sabotages when according to some of y'all they both have to be careful bc of their sexuality(bc I've seen some shippers saying jm is being sabotaged bc of his queerness) and why y'all expect jm solos to be quiet about their outrage when they had to go through all these sabotages and work so hard among the unhelpful army fandom who always have issue with support for jm like even now they are managing two songs on the Spotify global when army doesn't add his songs in their playlists but already making successful soloist and planning for acheivements for an unreleased album and do you know what jm solos go through everyday bc of your jk solos - sexual drags, vile threats, misinformation for acheiving success in 9 days of promo with multiple releases, sabotages and no company support which will become even more brutal bc of broken records but y'all want every jm solo to be quiet and ship him with jk just bc y'all see them as couple(like I'm not a shipper but I believe he's queer yet y'all tag us homophobic) but I don't see the same strictness with jk solos and that makes me wonder like how are y'all sure jk will receive the best promo even when jm solos doubted it and jk solos called their fave the most sabotaged one even when the next day after jm's historical #1 on hot 100, your real fave was seen on bpd & sb posts with caption - history in the making so you do you but don't tell jm solos to do something when y'all don't even want to acknowledge jm's sabotage and success

I haven’t said I want JM solos to be quiet. I want them to be vocal about Jimin’s sabotage. I only don’t want them to drag Jungkook, because they are crossing the line and they don’t only hate the company, but Jungkook also.

I don’t call JM solos homophobic, because many of them accepted he is queer (unlike JK solos).

I don’t want JM solos to ship him with Jungkook, I only want them to accept they are close and they support each other.

I know Army are jealous of Jimin’s achievements and success and that’s why they don’t support him. His success is thanks to himself and his own fans.

Company chose Jungkook to be their star, but I don’t know how many times I have to repeat it’s not his fault. I don’t know if they sabotaged Jimin because his antis work in the company or what is going on and it is unfair. Does it mean I can’t support Jungkook’s music and that I can’t he happy for him?

Why are you even writing this to me, when I wrote a lot about his sabotage and success? I personally hate tkkrs and jjks the most.

If Marinette was being honest, she didn't really take much notice of it the first time it happened. If she was being even more honest, it probably had been a thing for a long, long time but she'd chosen to never acknowledge it. Marinette was well-aware of how much effort it took a person to be good at something—especially because of her own experiences as an upcoming fashion designer. So, it only made sense that she would be impressed when someone achieved something at a high level.

The turned-on part threw her into a loop though.

Jason and Marinette hadn't been seeing each other long—just about a few weeks. As was to be expected in Gotham, their relationship began with a simple one-night stand and progressed from there. Up till, well, last week, their relationship had been purely physical, but now it was in the transition stage to something more of the just-enjoying-each-other's company stage.

It was a nice thing Marinette would admit, to sit in her boyfriend's apartment, his head in her lap and just talk about anything and everything. She was more comfortable with him than she had ever been with anybody else in her life—something she hadn't forced herself to think about for longer than a few seconds.

She and Jason were sitting in comfortable silence, each left to their own devices. Jason, with his head in her lap, was reading a book while Marinette stroked her hand through his hair, scrolling through Instagram aimlessly. Her interest was sparked when Chloe tagged her in a new post.

The video was labelled as Marinette felt confident up till the first question LMAO.

Marinette tapped on it curiously, wondering what the hell Chloe was talking about now. The video had captions so she played it silently. It was some sort of quiz show, and the first question was simple: a question about the Justice League. Jason had told Marinette enough about it for her to answer with ease. The second one, on the other hand, threw Marinette into a loop and she let out a soft snort when she understood what Chloe's comment meant.

"What's up?" Jason asked curiously, looking at her over his book.

"Nothing," Marinette said, shaking her head. "Just some quiz show Chloe tagged me in. Like, who could possibly know those answers?" Marinette laughed softly as the video continued to play.

"What are they?" Jason asked, flipping a page of his book.

Marinette raised an eyebrow at him, but nonetheless complied, rewinding back to the second question. "What countries made up the original Axis powers in World War II?"

Jason didn't even look up from his book. "Germany, Italy and Japan."

The video confirmed his answer and Marinette looked up at him, stunned. It wasn't much of a shock that she didn't know the answer—history and science had never been her forte anyway, but what was a shock was the familiar flip her stomach did at his answer.

"When Walt Disney was a child, which character did he play in his school function?"

"Peter Pan."

Marinette blinked hard. Jason did mention that he loved classics, so maybe that was it. Marinette nearly managed to convince herself that, right up until the timer ran out and the host confirmed his answer.

"Now for our next category," the host announced, "Geography."

Jason snorted, like it was easy, and Marinette felt her skin prickle at the thought.

"Which country borders 14 nations and crosses 8 time zones?"

"Russia," Jason said dismissively, and Marinette stared at him with her jaw open. Her stomach whirled as his answer was correct, once again, her heartbeat began to pound.

"The ancient Phoenician city of Constantine is located in what modern-day Arab country?" Marinette didn't even understand what that question meant.

"Algeria," was the one-word answer, and Marinette was staring openly at Jason now. He still hadn't looked up from his book.

"Apple Inc. was founded by three people: Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and who was the last person?"

"Ronald Wayne," and whoops that does it. Marinette threw her phone and with moves, she didn't even know she had, she somehow managed to manoeuvre herself and Jason until she was in his lap.

"What?" Jason asked with concern, his book lying in a heap on the ground.

"That," Marinette said, pressing a hard kiss to his lips. "Was really hot."

Jason opened his mouth—no doubt to ask another question—but Marinette used the opportunity to slip her tongue into his mouth, digging her hands into his hair. A few seconds later, Jason pulled away, laughing.

"What?" Marinette demanded frustratedly.

"I'm so confused," he said with an amused smile on his face. "What exactly is happening?" Marinette shifted uncomfortably, a dark stain appearing on her cheeks and Jason tightened her grip on his waist, clarifying, "Not that I'm complaining, obviously, but, you know."

Marinette buried his head into her neck, sucking at his sweet spot repeatedly to distract him from her embarrassment.

"You're smart," she muttered finally, in answer to his question. It wasn't news to her per se—Marinette had seen Jason enough times with a textbook and adorable glasses on his face. But. Knowing that and seeing it were two very different things.

"I'm, well," Jason hesitated, "I'm okay. Not as good as Tim."

Apparently, the universe wasn't done with Marinette today, because right on cue, her phone came back with another question. "Mount Erebus which is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica was the first ascent by whom?"

Marinette stared at Jason with her breath in her throat.

He had the ability to turn a little red as he murmured, "Edgeworth David in 1908."

"Oh my god," Marinette said, looking at him with wonder and reverence in her eyes. "That's like—oh my god, I can't get over it—"

"Are you sure you're okay over there?" Jason asked with a stupid amused grin on his face.

Marinette crushed their mouths back together, pushing him back onto the couch, tangling their limbs together.

Pulling away to gasp for air, Marinette repeated, "Smart."

Jason smirked at her, sharp and beautiful. "Is that, like, a thing with you or something?" he asked, laughter clear in his voice.

"No," Marinette lied, emphatically and immediately. "Shut up."

She pressed her lips to his again, before Jason could retort back.

Here’s one of the drafts! More incoming in the queue @egocentricspice

Azul & Vil

Nothing can beat the bond Azul, Jade, and Floyd have. They’ve known each other since kids and have stuck by each other through everything that’s happened. I won’t go too deep into the dynamic of the Octavinelle trio but I do think they show some form of friendliness outside of that trio. Like Jade and Trey or Floyd with Riddle. Jamil and Azul is on that can definitely be seen from Azul’s side but I equally think Azul and Vil have some potential for interactions

Azul doesn’t have a lot of confidence in his appearance and to some extent, his own achievements. His childhood experiences meant that even after he’s achieved so much, put in all the hard work to prove everyone wrong, that he doesn’t hold himself in a high regard because other people’s opinions of him effected him that deeply. If I could, I’d give him a hug.

Vil’s experience has been more or less the exact opposite. He’s the son of an actor and grew up as one, he’s used to hearing the praise but equally has heard the critics. He puts in hard work for his image and is careful to maintain it, similar to Azul in a way.

Vil and Azul’s interactions in Azul’s CR card in a positive note for them, at least. And they clearly have respect for the other and share similar traits.

Vil noticing Azul’s skin being better than the average person, then actively asks for his help for making a special toner. Azul acknowledges Vil’s achievements in the Pomefiore chapter, including the amount of followers he has as an influencer.

Azul singing and being a part of the VDC team would’ve been good content for me but that’s mostly my bias. But imagine Azul singing in class and Vil overhearing from the hallways.

Going back to the influencer point, in the anthology, there’s the mini comic of the octotrio and their Monstro Lounge Magicam account and Azul once more, mentions Vil. And Cater’s the one that inspires them with an idea to improve their account.

Just imagine Cater revisiting the lounge after it gets more popular for a Magicam worthy pic of one of their specials and makes a posts on it.

Vil’s scrolling through his account and sees Cater’s post, tagging the octatrio through the Monstro Magicam account. He doesn’t really make trips to eat at their cafe, even if he’s made a deal but that wouldn’t stop him from being curious enough to check the account.

And there’s just candid photos on the page. One photo is of Floyd in a good mood, taken while he’s on his shift and the caption hints Jade took the photo. A selfie with a grinning Floyd holding the camera, Azul presumably dragged into the frame, mysteriously embarrassed over something; it’s a rare moment of seeing him genuine and the photo doesn’t give away too much. A shot of tweels + Riddle at a table and Riddle looks a little exasperated but not surprised. However Trey’s in the comment section surprised and the ADeuce duo has a whole conversation voicing whether or not they should save their dorm leader (Spoiler alert: they don’t). And just more moments like these, with other staff members and the occasional food promotion pics in the mix.

There’s not much on their Magicam account but after a few more pics, there’s a clear difference in quality. The first few pics reminded him of ones taken from their menus and while good quality, bland for a Magicam post. Vil wonders about the change.

Azul and Vil partnering in an alchemy assignment in a rare moment their classes joined. Jamil’s relieved, he gets a break from both Kalim and Azul that day. And unlike him, he notices Vil doesn’t seem to mind whatever conversation is between them which is a surprise to him. He figured Vil would make some sort of beauty comment against Azul or Azul’s talk about deals would drive the other away but neither happen. That’s how their interactions with most people are like after all.

If they ever got close, I’d like to see Vil support Azul. Maybe not in an obvious way like how he helped Epel’s family business but still in his own way of showing he cares. Azul had a lot of bullies growing up and Vil showing respect to Azul and the occasional compliment would mean a lot.

Vil doesn’t come from the same area as Azul so if he were to see his octopus form for the first time, it would be different from how his classmates would see him. Cephalopods are rare in the ocean and while Azul’s classmates dislike him, I’d like to believe Vil would show a more positive reaction. I just want Azul to have someone to compliment him.

Mistress for 3 years…

Welcome back sweetie pies! Buckle up because this contestant’s story is gonna be juicy. We’ll start by his nickname, Fitz. Now the nickname comes from the tv show, Scandal. President Fitzgerald, married to his wife, but has a mistress named Olivia Pope. But in this scenario I’m Olivia Pope and he is Fitz.

Honestly don’t remember how I met Fitz, I’ve just known him for so long. He was just that boy who was always there, and I didn’t acknowledge him till we were freshmen. His aunt was a teacher and worked with my mom, so we were close to her family. His other aunt I knew because her kids were always at the pool I worked at during the summer. And yea, we just always knew of each other. Fun fact, his aunt thought we’d be best friends when we were younger. LOL. NO.

But like I said we didn’t really acknowledge each other’s existence until we were freshmen. But he had a girlfriend, and I respected that and we stayed close friends. Until his girlfriend got between us, and I stopped talking to him because she was crazy. Like run me over with her car type crazy. But like I said, respected their relationship so we forgot each other and lived our lives. Well I thought we forgot about each other, but I guess he didn’t.

We rekindled our junior year. Me and my gal were bored so we went to another guy friends house for a fire one night. Well Fitz was there along with another guy. So 2 girls, 3 boys, but 1 boy and 1 girl had feelings for each other. Well silly kids we were, we played ghost in the graveyard. But Fitz needed to talk to Olivia about something, so they hid together to talk. He explained that his marriage is falling a part, and he needed me as a friend again. I said I didn’t know, his wife hated me, and I didn’t want to ruin his marriage. He kept reassuring me the marriage was over, and he just needed me for support. So I fell for it, and the support he needed? I stupidly gave him.

After that night we talked and talked. It was like our friendship didn’t take a break, and we were back to how we were. Until he got back with his ex-wife… yea ex-wifey knew we were texting and hanging out together (with our other friends) and hated me even more. I’m talking bout the DM’s threatening me, making tik toks about me, captioning her posts towards me, all of the above. I laid off Fitz again, and lived my happy life.

Well every time Fitz needed “support” for his broken marriage, I was there. For a whole year we hid our secret affair. To clarify every time we hung out him and his wife were on a “break” (found out they never were so I felt horrible). And then we hit senior year… Senior year started off great. Me, my gal, and our 2 guy friends were thriving. Late night McDonald runs, going to each others volleyball or football games together, it was lovely. Until Fitz would show up at me and my gals volleyball games with the other guys. I wanted to commit suicide in 10 different ways every time, it was so embarrassing. No one knew what we’ve been up to, except my gal. She knew all. But still, he and his wife were perfectly happy, why show up and drag me into your marriage when I don’t want to be?

The best part, his marriage ended at my volleyball game. There’s film evidence. She asked to meet up with him, and they broke up, and he came back to my game. Guess she was tired of being the wife? Well me and Fitz started talking again, but I told him that we’d never get into a relationship. This was all about support.

Yea Fitz went into a post-divorce hole, and looked for support in 10 other girls! WHAT?! Man was wilding… I left and said never again. Now he’s married to one of the 10 supporters, and they’re so happy. But like we say, once a cheater always a cheater. She actually stalked my instagram one night, liked my post, and then unliked it. Caught you girly pop! I know, it’s hard to be as good as me. I’m the girl Fitz always came back to after all… not a great moment in my life though.

Well that’s Fitz for ya. A cheating, lying, and non-athletic douche. I can’t wait for someone to humble him, because he needs it.

Until next time, I promise the next man is MUCH better. Only 2 men standing, who will get the final rose?

See you soon sweetie pies:)
