on the name thing: i think people want to call you something different because they like you and want to feel like they're your friend by giving you their own quirky nickname. a show of affection or something. that's my good will interpretation of it because it's certaintainly something I can relate to.
also hope this is ok to say, but I miss seeing you doing facecam. you're gorgeous ^^ i respect if you don't feel comfy with it tho, it ain't easy and it's probably much comfier to not bother with it at all lol
have a great day, Penny!
(i know i literally just said im moving on from this but i felt like this idea was worth responding to, AFTER THIS i am moving on guaranteed) i get that! and thats why i stress that i feel this way regardless of intent because the last thing i want to do is cause guilt or demonize people for something that's ultimately pretty common. but even considering your example, with that notion comes a couple problems:
i am not your friend! i do think that there has been a bit of an OVER-correction when it comes to how people think about parasocial relationships and personally relating to people they admire, and generally i like to push back against the notion that having any parasocial relationship is a bad thing cause personally i think parasocial relationships are unavoidable and it's more about your expectations towards that one-sided relationship that become the issue. but two things remain true in either case: i know you so much less than you know me, AND you know me infinitely less than you think you do. so at the end of the day, it is not my responsibility to walk on eggshells about behavior that assumes an intimacy from me i am incapable of and especially uninterested in retaliating.
i have to stress that i am extremely aware it would be insane of me to expect to control peoples actions regarding this on such a large scale, and im also well aware many people come in who are new who get this info for the first time. i repeat the conversation in the interest of introducing those boundaries to people who are new and in general just reinforcing them. i try not to be such a stick in the mud about most things but this is something I REALLY care about, and so i give it the no-nonsense approach i think it deserves. on that note: understanding that there are going to be gaps where people either just do not know about my preferences or simply do not care doesn't mean i have to pretend like i also don't care about it. people can say whatever they want about me in their own spaces, you can call me whatever the fuck you want amongst friends. i do not care cause i do not have the capability to care, it's never going to reach me! but that does not mean i have to pretend to enjoy it if/when it DOES reach me, especially if it's presented as an option for me to respond to. if someone just calls me something weird in a chatroom it's like, i literally do not have the energy or overall scope of vision to react to every one of those instances specifically. there absolutely are things u just gotta let roll off of u sometimes. BUT, the reason we often get into this conversation repeatedly on my tumblr is because given the ask format i get a lot of people who go out of their way to approach me with name jokes or loopholes to an actively established preference as if they are looking for my approval on it. that is where it becomes a little more unpalatable for me.
and to respond to your second question: i appreciate the kind words on that! i sure would like to reintroduce facecam again someday somehow but right now my desk setup is not great for it haha

19 - Not A Date (Definitely A Date)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prev | Masterlist | Next
AN: FINALLY THIS CHAPTER IS OUT. Omg, writer's block sucks :((
“They're not answering.”
Y/n sighs, slipping their phone into their back pocket and turning back to Jay.
“Yeah, the guys aren't answering either.” Jay nods, his body leaning against the wall. The two stand outside the cinema, waiting for the rest of their friends to arrive. The movie should be starting any minute and there's still no sign of any of the others.
“Maybe they got stuck in traffic?” Y/n suggests. Jay only scoffs at the suggestion. “It's 2pm on a Tuesday - what traffic?” He asks, causing Y/n to roll their eyes. “I don't know, I'm just trying to think of reasons.”
Sighing, Jay pushes himself off the wall and starts walking towards the cinema entrance. “What are you doing?” Y/n asks, curiously. “I don't know about you but I'm not gonna waste free tickets.” He looks over his shoulder, smirking. “Now are you coming or not?”
Tumblr media
That's how Y/n found themself sitting beside Jay in the cinema to watch Mean Girls. They like to claim that they're only here because they really want to see this movie. It has absolutely nothing to do with Jay!
“Would now be a good time to say that I haven't seen the original?” Jay leans over. Y/n's eyes immediately widen as they turn to look at him with shock. “The original movie or the musical?” They ask. “Both.” Jay smiles. “You're insane.” Y/n laughs quietly, their eyes flicking to the screen as the ads begin playing. “Maybe this will inspire me to watch it.” Jay shrugs. “Usually people watch the originals before the new version… you know, so they can compare.” Y/n mumbles, taking a sip of their drink (that Jay paid for). Jay simply shrugs in response. “I prefer to go in blind - it’s more exciting when you don’t know what you’re in for.” He winks before turning his attention to the screen.
Tumblr media
Y/n had expected Jay to lose interest fairly quickly. Sure, they didn’t know much about the guy - but based on what they gathered from the time they’d spent with him, they didn’t assume that Mean Girls would be his cup of tea. So, to say they were shocked when they turned to look at him during the movie, only to see his face fully focused on the screen, would be an understatement.
It was honestly funny - seeing his reactions to the plot. The small gasps he let out whenever Regina George did anything mean. The way he laughed along with the jokes. They swore they even saw him quietly bopping his head along to the numerous musical numbers.
He would ask questions, too. Occasionally leaning over the armrest to quietly whisper to Y/n so as not to disrupt others’ watching experience. 
Does Regina actually like Aaron or does she just not want Cady to date him?
Wait, so are the teacher and the principal dating?
Why is the maths competition and the spring fling on the same night? Wouldn’t the school plan around that?
Y/n tried to answer his questions to the fullest in order for Jay to better understand the plot. For some, they gave him short answers for context. Others, they giggled softly and told him to just keep watching. It was funny, how invested he seemed to be getting.
Tumblr media
“So… what did you think of the movie?” Y/n asks, smiling at Jay as the two walk out of the theatre. “It was good… although there were a few parts that… caught me off guard.” He chuckles slightly, his steps quickening to catch up to Y/n’s speed. “Like what?” Y/n asks, intrigued. Jay pauses to think for a moment: “Like when she got hit by a bus.” Y/n snorts at his answer, mumbling under their breath “She could hit me with a bus.” Their words cause Jay to stop in his tracks, looking at Y/n with a mix of amusement and concern. “What?” Y/n asks, tilting their head in feigned innocence. Jay shakes his head with an awkward laugh before continuing his steps.
“Is the original similar?” He asks when the two pause in the elevator. He pushes the button for the bottom floor of the parking garage before turning his attention back to Y/n. “In some ways…” Y/n hums, nodding, “The plot is the same, the original just isn’t a musical. Oh, and a lot of the jokes are different because… well, it was the early 2000s.”
“I see…” Jay mumbles, trailing slightly behind Y/n as the two walk through the parking garage. Y/n looks back at him for a moment, taking note of the way his eyes are focused on the ground. His eyebrows are scrunched together as if he’s in deep thought.
“Why? Did you want to watch the original?” Y/n asks. “I am kind of intrigued…” He trails off, “but I'd feel like a loser watching Mean Girls in my room by myself.” He adds, chuckling awkwardly. Y/n shrugs at his words. “Nothing wrong with a man enjoying Mean Girls.”
The two fall into silence as they continue walking to their cars. Y/n takes note of how Jay has walked past where he is parked, seemingly walking Y/n to their car. They can't help but smile at the act - whether it was intentional or not.
“I mean, we could always watch it together.” Y/n says, breaking the silence. It takes Jay a second to comprehend what they're saying, his eyes widening slightly as he looks up at Y/n. “Oh… I'd like that.” He smiles, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
Tumblr media
Two days later, Jay finds himself standing at Y/n's front door, his fist hovering against the wood. He hesitates for only a second before knocking gently, tapping his foot restlessly as he waits for Y/n to answer.
He's not sure why he's so nervous. He's hung out with Y/n before. Hell, he's even been to their house before (that's if carrying Y/n to bed counts). So why does this time feel so different?
His thoughts are interrupted by the door slowly opening, revealing Y/n. They’re wearing comfy clothes - a simple hoodie and sweatpants. Jay can’t stop himself from smiling at how cozy they look.
“Hi, sorry, I fell asleep. I hope you weren’t waiting for me.” Y/n says, laughing awkwardly as they open the door further, giving Jay space to enter their apartment. “It’s fine - did I wake you up?” Jay asks, stepping into the apartment. “You did… but it’s good, I probably would’ve left you outside otherwise.” Y/n laughs.
Y/n leads Jay down the hall and into their living room. He takes a moment to look around, admiring the decor. “Your house is very… you.” Jay comments, causing Y/n to raise an eyebrow at him. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” They laugh. Jay’s eyes quickly widen at his mistake, raising his hands in surrender. “I didn’t mean anything bad! It’s a compliment! You’re really stylish and stuff.” He stutters, attempting to save himself. Y/n’s lips turn upwards into a slight smirk, nodding simply at Jay’s explanation.
“Make yourself at home, I’ll be right back.” Y/n mumbles, gesturing towards the couch before walking further into their apartment. Jay hesitates for a moment, looking at the couch curiously before choosing a spot to sit - making sure to avoid the more sunken area of what he assumes is Y/n’s favourite spot.
A few moments later, Y/n walks back into the room, their arms overflowing with snacks and drinks. “I couldn’t remember what stuff you like so I just guessed - sorry if it’s wrong.” Y/n says, placing the food on the coffee table. Jay looks at them with wide eyes, shaking his head. “It’s fine, you didn’t have to get me anything.” He mumbles. “You think I’m going to invite you to my house for a movie night and not provide snacks? I’m not a monster, Jay.” Y/n laughs, sitting next to him on the couch. The way they immediately nestle into the cushions confirms Jay’s previous assumption - it must be their favourite spot.
Y/n reaches for the remote, pushing a few buttons before bringing up the movie. “I had to illegally download this for you. If someone hacks into my TV, it’s your fault.” Y/n says snarkily, causing Jay to chuckle. “I’ll buy you a new one if that happens.” Jay shrugs. “Ooh, rich boy.” Y/n laughs, reaching forward to grab a can of Coke and focusing their eyes on the screen.
Tumblr media
The movie seems to go a lot quicker than Y/n remembers. Maybe it’s because they’ve seen it before, they know the plot, the jokes and when they’re coming. Before they know it, the ending credits begin to roll.
“So, what did you think?” Y/n asks, pausing the credits as they turn to look at Jay. Jay pauses for a moment, thinking of his review. “What do other people say?” He asks. “No, you have to have your own opinion!” Y/n complains, making him laugh slightly. “Okay, I liked the vibes of this one better, it felt more nostalgic. But I liked the music in the musical.” He admits. Y/n nods, smiling at him pleased. “I respect your opinion.”
“Are we gonna watch something else, then? You brought a lot of snacks.” Jay states, nodding towards the numerous bags of food on the coffee table. “We can. Did you wanna watch anything in particular?” Y/n asks, opening Netflix on the TV. They scroll for a while, both of them giving suggestions whenever they see something before settling on some random movie neither of them had seen.
It doesn’t take long for Jay to start falling asleep - the background noise from whatever movie they chose working as the perfect lullaby. Y/n’s attention is ripped away from the screen as the sound of gentle snoring escapes Jay’s mouth. The sight of Jay fast asleep, his eyes slightly open causes Y/n to burst into silent giggles - covering their mouth in an attempt to stop the sounds from escaping. They quickly reach for their phone, snapping a picture of Jay and setting it as his profile picture.
The sudden sound of their phone ringing causes Y/n to jump. They quickly answer the face time without even seeing who it is, looking at the screen confused when Keeho’s face appears.
“Hey, stupid whore.” Keeho mumbles, only to get shushed by Y/n. “I can’t talk, Jay’s asleep.” Y/n whispers harshly, hanging up the call before Keeho can say anything else. Their phone immediately begins blowing up with texts from Keeho - likely asking why the hell Y/n is with Jay and why is he asleep. Y/n sends a simple text that they’ll explain everything later before putting their phone on mute and throwing it onto the floor.
With the commotion now over, Y/n anxiously turns to Jay, expecting him to have woken up. They let out a sigh of relief when they see he only moved slightly, his eyes fluttering back shut as he continues to softly snore. Y/n takes special note of the way his face has fully relaxed, their eyes trailing over his nose bridge and lips, across his jaw and back up to his eyes. They’ve never looked at Jay this closely before.
“You watching me sleep now?” Jay asks, his voice slightly mumbled. Y/n’s eyes widen as Jay’s flutter open, looking at Y/n intently. “Didn’t you get mad at me for doing that?” He continues. Jay raises an eyebrow at Y/n, looking at them with soft eyes. “I was just…” Y/n trails off, losing track of their sentence as they feel Jay’s fingers gently caress their shoulder. They hadn’t realised his arm was resting on the back of the couch - they must have leaned into it subconsciously.
“You were just… watching me sleep?” He asks, smiling as Y/n’s face blushes a deep red colour. “Shut up.” Y/n mumbles, looking away shyly. Jay chuckles, adjusting on his side to get a better look at Y/n, pulling back his arm and using it to prop his head up.
“You’re cute when you’re annoyed.” Jay chuckles, a playful glint in his eyes. Y/n rolls their eyes at his comment, raising an eyebrow at him. “Quit flirting with me.” They grumble. “Who said I’m flirting with you? I’m just stating a fact.” He shrugs simply, although the teasing look on his face shows he is far less innocent than he’s letting on. “Sure, stating a fact.” Y/n rolls their eyes, leaning back into the couch, a small pang of disappointment in their chest when they no longer feel the presence of Jay’s arm securely behind them.
They turn their head to look at Jay, their eyes silently focusing on his face once again. They feel less embarrassed this time, something about Jay openly calling them cute makes it more understandable for them to be blatantly checking him out. “You look very pretty right now.” Y/n mumbles, almost with no thought. Their eyes zone in on the small scar across the bridge of his nose, bringing their index finger up to gently trace the mark. Jay’s cheeks seem to brighten with a pinkish tink but he doesn’t pull away. He instead watches Y/n with fondness in his eyes as they take in his features.
“Sorry… I don’t know why I did that.” Y/n giggles awkwardly, pulling their hand away from his face. Before they can fully pull away, Jay quickly grabs Y/n’s hand, holding it gently between their bodies. Y/n looks up at him, the sudden contact making them confused. “You don’t have to pull away.” Jay mumbles, his thumb gently caressing over Y/n’s knuckles. “I like having your attention on me.” He admits. “Oh.” Y/n mumbles, seeming to be in thought.
They suddenly adjust their posture so they’re sitting closer to Jay, keeping their intertwined hands resting softly on his lap as they reach forward with their other hand, beginning to gently trace his face again. They start at his eyebrows, outlining them before moving down the bridge of his nose (paying special attention to his scar once again) across his cheekbones and down his jaw before doing the whole thing again.
“I feel like I’m going to fall asleep again.” Jay whispers, his eyes fluttering shut as Y/n continues to gently run their finger across his skin. “You can,” Y/n hums simply. “I don’t mind.” Jay nods at their words, his head lulling to the side. Y/n continues to trace his face, easing him deeper and deeper into sleep.
Once they’re sure he’s in a deep slumber, the tracing slows down until coming to a full stop. Y/n rests their head on the back of the couch, looking at Jay’s sleeping figure with a small smile. There’s an unfamiliar feeling in the pit of their stomach, a certain giddiness from being this close to him. It’s something they haven’t experienced in a while and the longer they spend looking at Jay, the more and more this fluttery feeling is beginning to sound like a crush.

Hey there
May I request a rick × a female short-tempered reader whose soft and kind, only with him and for him?
Thank you so much~
Heyoo. Ngl, I wrote this half asleep tbh and my brain would not give me any better ideas so I hope it's decent haha. Enjoy (:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I swear to Goddddd" you seethe, gritting your teeth and clutching the steering wheel.
You'd been stuck in traffic for a ridiculous amount of time, which was adding onto your anger from the hours before. There wasn't anything in particular that ruined your day, just the usual routine of rude customers at work, your one (and honestly only) friend pushing your buttons, and now shitty drivers making the way home insufferable.
Your almost-relationship also hasn't responded to your texts in 3 hours, which secretly made you want to scream although you'd never let it be known. He thrives off of your annoyance, there's no room for emotional vulnerability slips.
Which most people don't seem to expect from you anyway.
"You need to work on your friendliness," your manager quipped at you earlier. "Your happy tone is there but your face just looks flat and unamused constantly."
You'd just bit your tongue and refrained from saying that it's already a massive effort to keep from strangling most of those that come in everyday.
"Uh-huh, sure. So can I come over later when I get off?" You'd texted Rick, your aforementioned almost-relationship. You call it that because you've been seeing each other for a couple of months, but haven't put any labels on anything. They weren't really his thing; you guessed it came with the territory of being insanely intelligent. Nothing needed to be explained in his eyes.
You felt like the text came off as clingy, and assumed that it's why he didn't text back, which only made you feel worse. But oh, if you would have asked to sit on his cock, he would've texted back at the speed of light. Such an asshole.
You pull into your driveway now, getting out and slamming the car door. A nosy neighbor was on the sidewalk across from your house, mindlessly staring at you and the display of irritability.
You put your hands together to mimic a camera and pretend to click the top.
"Take a fucking picture, yeah?" You say and head inside. You don't mean to be so volatile and hot-headed, but in your humble defense, people truly drag it out of you.
You go into your bedroom and sigh, flinging your work clothes off to slip into casual pajamas and flop down on your bed.
"D-damn babe, judging by the way you toOOOK those clothes off, I'm assuming it wasn't a g-good day at work?" A voice says, making you screech as you had your eyes closed.
You look around the room to see Rick, stood in front of your closet, half smirking with portal gun in hand.
"Rick- fuck, don't scare me like that you massive cunt," you breathe out. You've told him that you're not a huge fan of him portaling into your personal space at random. But Rick being Rick, you might as well have been talking to the wall.
"T-tell me how it went, Ms. Grumps," he responds, walking over to sit on the bed with you. You feel a sense of comfort wash over you as his scent fills your nose and the warmth of his body radiates beside you.
You bite your lip and look down, embarrassed at how often your rage consumes you. You also don't want him to notice that your body seems to naturally detox when he's around.
"Um, ya know, just the usual stuff. Which you would know if you had texted me back," you replied, a hint of both hurt and playfulness in your voice.
He stares at you for a second before he gently puts his hand on top of yours and clears his throat.
"Yeah I-I'm sorry about that, M-Morty and I got caught up on Flarbellion chasing t-these Robobros. Almost took my fucking h-hand" Rick says.
"Uh huh, I'm sure. I just missed you" you mumble, still feeling a little upset and being unable to hide it.
"Come on d-don't be whiney, I'm- your knight in shining armor is here now," he smirks again, leaning in to move a strand of hair out of your face and put a hand on your thigh.
Your breath hitches a little and your heart starts beating rapidly. You're used to being around him and being in him but these sweet actions- they're small and rare all the same.
Rick shifts to sit behind you and starts running both hands through your hair now, one massaging your scalp slowly and the other petting it gently. You moan slightly in ecstasy from the feeling and lean back into him.
"Rick, that feeels so good."
After a minute or two you turn around and wrap your arms around him sheepishly. "Thank you, Rick. I can return the favor if you'd like."
"Th-that's okay hun, just wanted to help. I-I've got some favors you could return instead though." He says, his voice suggestive and grin as evident as ever.
"Shut up, you're the worst. And the best," you admit, realizing that in just a few minutes time he'd made all your stresses melt away completely. It happens every time.
"D-don't I know it, sweet girl," he smiles down at you, leaving a kiss on your forehead.

i saw you in a dream - university smau
Tumblr media
---------------
chapter twenty one - so what's the plan?
---------------
a/n: i hope you guys enjoy it! its shorter than i wanted it to be but i couldn't push myself to write any more. ALSO! HAPPY ATEEZ WATERBOMB DAY!!!!!!
---------------
minho's pov:
much to minho and chris' surprise, everyone was at the apartment by 3, even if they had no clue why they were called there.
chris' apartment was a lot nicer than minho expected in all honesty. it was a good-sized apartment for 3 college students and surprisingly clean for 3 gym bros living there. it was cozy.
well, it was cozy. that was before the thick awkward tension set in around the group as they all arrived.
chris, being who he is, is the first to break the silence, something minho was secretly thankful for.
"so what are you think minho?" chris asks, the question directed to minho.
"wait a second," seungmin cuts minho off before he even has the chance to even attempt to reply to chris. "are you going to tell us what the hell is going on first?"
there was a unanimous agreement to seungmin's question.
"yeah i'm completely lost." felix tags onto seungmin's previous statement from the other side of the room.
it was almost comedic the way the two friend groups instinctively split the room. minho's friends huddled near him and chris' goons near him.
"well, i assume it's about yn and jeongin, seeing that min specifically asked for them not to be here." jisung points out what seems obvious to minho.
"hanji what do you know about jeongin?" changbin asks, genuinely confused how jisung even knows who jeongin is.
mingyu laughs, "you two are on a nickname basis?" he asks gesturing between changbin and jisung.
chris sighs like a disappointed father, he really is never going to be those dad allegations.
"can you guys just shut up and let minho speak?" the tone in chris' voice making the snickering and side talk in the room cease almost instantly.
"i'm assuming you all know about the dreams jeongin's been having," minho says directed towards chris' and his group.
he looks over to his own friends who seem to be putting together what minho is hinting at before he has said anything else.
"well uh, for what we know," minho says gesturing to seungmin, beomgyu, soul, and jisung, "yn has them as well."
it was eerily silent for a moment as everyone was trying to understand what minho was saying.
"i'm sorry but what exactly are you trying to hint at?" keeho asks the question that most people were thinking.
chris took the question. "minho and i aren't sure, but from what we've heard from both jeongin and yn," he takes a pause to try and explain without sounding insane.
"we think they're having the same dreams," minho chimes in. "but it's so much more than that. it's like they interact with each other in them as if they would in real life."
"do i have to mention that that is like... impossible?" hyunjin's voice is laced with suspicion.
"yeah, we know it is. trust us." seungmin's voice is almost bitter at the fact.
"wait," felix's sudden words gaining everyone's attention. "but didn't the dreams stop?"
"yeah, they did. i haven't seen yn be so upset about something in years." beomgyu finally speaks.
"same with jeongin," hyunjin adds.
"that's why we have to do something about it," chris sounds serious about it. his concern for jeongin obviously growing by the day.
"okay, so what are we going to do about it?" beomgyu asks, it was refreshing to hear him seem actually worried about the situation. or at least for yn.
"we have to get them to meet somehow-"
changbin cuts minho off, "you're telling me they don't even know who each other are?"
"i mean in real life no?" chris' once strong composure now seeming a bit embarrassed.
"wait, do we even know if what is going on with ayen and yn is even connected like, at all?" felix asks, astonished.
"kinda?" chris replies.
"kinda!?" mingyu practically yells the question.
"listen, we know it sounds crazy but it's worth a shot is it not?" minho is trying his best to get everyone on his side.
there is a pause in the room as everyone seems to agree with minho.
"plus, their situations are practically identical."
"i guess you're right,"
"so, what's the plan?"

Steve was a good friend, so he decided to show Eddie—a virgin—the rope.
tag: edging, masturbation, voyeurism (not sure about this one but rather be safe than sorry)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It started out like this:
They were both smoking in Eddie's bed and talking about everything and nothing at all. Just a picture of two friends chilling out together.
But maybe something had gone sidetracked, because Steve had turned to look at him and asked calmly.
"Are you a virgin?"
There was no warning, nothing for Eddie to brace himself for that kind of question. So with a loose tongue and heavy eyelids, Eddie had nodded.
"Yeah, sex is overrated anyway, man."
And that was it. They moved on to different topics after Steve just hummed noncommittally in response.
A few days later, they were back in Eddie's bed again but before he could light his joint, he was asked to show Steve his cock.
As confused as Eddie was, he didn't ask any questions but complied because he was weak to doe-eyes and a pretty face.
And unfortunately, Steve was the combination of both.
So, he just put his joint away for later use, unbuckled his pants, and pulled his cock out, already half-hard just by the idea of Steve watching him.
"Fuck," Steve breathed out softly, eyes tracing the girth and length of Eddie without shame.
Eddie squirmed slightly, not knowing why Steve reacted like that.
"Uhm, is there a problem?" Eddie asked uncertainly.
"No," Steve finally met his gaze, dilated pupils almost eating up the hazel. "Just... I know you’re big, but not this big."
Eddie blushed. "Well, is that a thing?"
"Is that a thing?" Steve mimicked his perplexed tone and snorted. "Jesus. Yeah, Munson. You're fucking hung and girls really dig it."
Eddie wanted to ask, "Does it also include you?"
But he bit his tongue before he could blurt it out. Instead, he said, "So, what are we gonna do now?"
Steve smiled at him, pretty and a little mean, "We're gonna teach you how to not come prematurely so you won't be laughed at for it."
Eddie was quite sure he only complained to Steve about that problem one time. Like months ago when he had been high off his ass and unable to see straight.
He had assumed that Steve must've forgotten all about it by now. But apparently, the younger boy had a better memory than he thought.
"How?" Eddie frowned in bafflement, half anticipating and half afraid of what was to come.
"You're gonna jack off," Steve answered casually, as if the sky was blue and Eddie wasn’t having his cock out in the air. "And when you're close, I'll tell you to stop. We'll keep going until your endurance improves."
"Wait, isn't that–" Eddie spluttered.
He wasn't an idiot. He had read too many skin mag to not know what it was.
"Yeah," Steve nodded calmly. "I know, but edging does help cases like this. I've done my research, Munson."
There were too many things to unpack from that one sentence and Eddie certainly was too sober for it.
So he filed it away to the back of his mind to visit it later when he wasn't both turned on and embarrassed by Steve's insane proposal.
"Do you want me to help you or not?" Steve cocked his eyebrow when he remained silent too long.
And wasn't that a million-dollar question?
Because Steve was sitting on his bed, asking to watch him jerk off, and expecting his brain to not fucking combust.
"Okay," Eddie exhaled shakily and looked up to meet Steve's waiting gaze. "When do you want to do it?"
"Whenever convenient for you," Steve shrugged like he hadn't been eyeing Eddie's half-boner until it filled out and started leaking steadily between them.
Before Eddie could second guess himself, he shimmied out of his pants and boxers. Then, under Steve’s watchful gaze, he wrapped his hand around his cock and started pumping.
He closed his eyes, head knocking back and mouth dropping open in silent moans.
It didn't take long, much to his humiliation, when Eddie felt the telltale tingles prance down on his spine. He was gonna–
"Stop."
Eddie's hand fucking stopped and he had to yank it away from his cock or he was gonna spill just from a small contact.
He shook his head at Steve. "I can't–"
"It's alright," Steve grabbed his hand and guided it back to his throbbing cock. "I know you can do it, Eddie."
Jesus Fucking H. Christ.
The look Steve gave him was so different from before, so soft and so tender.
At that moment, Eddie knew he'd do anything Steve asked him to.
And he was also pushed closer to the edge because of it.
"I'm sorry–"
Steve acted too quickly. One second he was holding Eddie's wrist, one second later he was grabbing Eddie's balls.
"Wha–" Eddie groaned out loud when Steve squeezed them, causing his cock to wilt immediately.
"The fuck are you doing, Harrington?!" Eddie moaned and glared at Steve.
"I'm helping you," Steve answered matter-of-factly, but his eyes gleamed with mischief. "In case you forgot, Munson, we're training you to hold out longer than one minute. It'd be for naught if you come right now."
"You're evil," Eddie mumbled, but secretly hoped that Steve wouldn't stop holding his balls. He could already see himself jerking off to this very moment later.
"I'm just being a good friend," Steve snorted and retreated his hand. "Go on. Pick up from where you left off."
And Eddie obeyed.
He stroked his cock slower this time, hand moving with more purpose, teasing the sensitive slit, squeezing the flushed tip, spreading the slick along the rigid shaft.
He grunted, sighed, and moaned, letting out small noises that were just a bit more breathy.
He bucked his hips and started thrusting, wanting to show Steve that he had the potential, that he could fuck Steve the same way he was pistoning into the loose hole formed by his hand.
His performance was cut short, however, when he was close again, too keyed up to last more than a minute.
It was hard to ignore those hooded eyes when they felt like a physical touch on him.
As predicted, Eddie wasn't allowed to come.
Every time, Steve would tell him to stop again and again and again until he was desperate for relief. Every time Eddie failed to halt his movements in time, the younger boy would aid him by gripping his balls painfully.
It was a bittersweet torture.
Eventually, Eddie couldn't hold back anymore and shot despite Steve's order.
"Fuck, shit, m'sorry, m'sorry," Eddie babbled as he experienced the most intense orgasm in his life.
He convulsed and fisted his cock, seeing stars beneath his eyelids as he tried to drive out the high.
The overwhelming pleasure rendered him speechless, making his head spin and his body tremble. He felt like his brain had liquified and streamed out from his ears.
By the time Eddie regained his senses, he was handed tissues and a water bottle.
Once done with wiping himself down, he took a long gulp from his bottle before grinning at Steve, "That was really something, man."
"You tell me," Steve huffed out a laugh that echoed by Eddie.
They sat in companionable silence until Eddie cleared his throat slightly.
"So I finally lasted longer than one minute."
"Yeah," Steve patted his arm lightly. "Good job for that."
"Thanks," Eddie ducked his head to hide the blush on his cheeks.
"It's nothing," Steve smiled at him kindly. "You really outdid yourself, Eds."
Eddie's stomach felt warm and fuzzy at that. "So what's next now I passed your test?"
Moving closer, Steve hooked a finger under his chin to make him look into those hazel eyes.
"Next time, we're gonna do it with my hand."
Eddie took in a sharp inhale. "You're not joking, right?"
"No, not with you," Steve chuckled lowly.
The sound rattled Eddie down to his bones.
"And what's about next next time?" Eddie couldn't help himself. God dammit.
If all of this was just a dream, he was gonna rip God a new one. Because fucking Jesus.
"Eager, aren't we?" Steve arched his brow. "But I think you already figured it out by yourself."
Eddie groaned and reached down to squeeze the base of his cock. It seemed to be quite eager with what Steve suggested.
"Can we just do the second test right now?" Eddie licked his lips, knowing full well that he wouldn't last long, but he’d be damned if he didn't give it a shot.
Steve just laughed and patted his cheek lightly. "Nah, today's enough. We'll continue tomorrow."
"Promise?" Eddie asked hopefully.
"Yeah," Steve pecked the corner of his lips. "Promise."
And Eddie knew he was gonna set up a one-hundred-step plan to woo Steve Harrington however impossible it was.

Remembering my first introduction to Xue Yang and thinking about how methodical he seemed to me vs fanon version that is basically evil Wei Wuxian on speed.
No really you're so right he's normally calm and methodical. Just sometimes the universe tells him he fucked up and he's like "would you say that if I did this? *makes an utterly insane choice*"
ohhh this is something I have Thoughts on for sure. don't get me wrong! I think xue yang does have manic periods and will get into a mode where he's not sleeping for three days because he has a project to work on and sleep is boring, a-yao, leave me alone. but I think the degree to which xue yang is - prior to xiao xingchen's death - actually as unhinged as he's sometimes painted is...it's not pretending but it is playing up an aspect of his personality to make people uncomfortable or nervous or scared, both because it's how he makes damn sure he's not going to be forgotten or ignored (have talked about that elsewhere) and because it's what people expect from him, so why not.
(it also means people underestimate him and while I think xue yang has a kind of complicated relationship with that it is useful sometimes.)
I do think a solid 30% of xue yang's behavior is looking at what people expect from him, going "oh you are like a little baby. watch this" and doing worse. i.e. if people are going to assume he's basically a wild animal then he's going to be the meanest wild animal they've ever seen. I think the fact that he settles relatively easily into playing a role where that's very much not the case, where nobody is looking at him like that (or at least nobody who is in a position to look down on him, qingqing is too short), is somewhat indicative.
he has more control over himself and his behavior than most people realize; I think the perception (both in universe and in fandom) is that he's sort of a creature of id, driven purely by impulse and almost instinctual reaction, and I don't think that's actually accurate to what we see of him most of the time. he's certainly very clever, and good enough at what he does to attract the attention of powerful people. jin guangshan finds him valuable enough to alienate and anger another sect leader about it. give Xue Yang a puzzle and if he's interested he'll sit down and pick at it until he figures it out, unless it's too easy, then it's just boring.
it's also notable to me that when xue yang is angry at someone, he doesn't actually act immediately. he's very willing to wait and plan to figure out how to really twist the knife in someone. the choice to go after song lan's temple, and song lan himself, rather than directly targeting xiao xingchen, might be a practical one, but it's also a very deliberate and targeted attack that's aimed right at xiao xingchen's stated purpose: "you say you're here to protect people? look, you can't even protect your friend and his temple, and now they've suffered because of you." that's not, like, an immediate and explosive reaction, it's a very purposeful act that has thought and planning behind it.
now, does xue yang make impulsive snap decisions, frequently involving violence? sure. but the most notable of those is, I would argue, at the two absolute nadir moments of xue yang's life. the first one being when xiao xingchen finds out who he is and vehemently rejects him - xue yang's reaction there feels like much more of an instinctive lashing out, and it's happening because for the first time in his life since he was very young, someone who actually has the ability to hurt his feelings has hurt his feelings and it feels real bad! doesn't like that! so he reacts to make it stop, and then keeps going and pushing until xiao xingchen breaks, and then after that it's pretty clear to me that he sort of shocks back to reality and spends the next eight years going "no, wait, I take it back." or, well, trying.
and then also when he dies. when wei wuxian goads him about what he did to chang ping and the implications thereof regarding xue yang's own feelings of (unnacknowledged, unrecognized) guilt, xue yang absolutely loses it, gets reckless and careless and ultimately it's that, with a-qing's help, which gets him killed.
oh, wait, one other place I think xue yang loses control of himself and acts without really thinking it through, and that's killing a-qing. I have less textual evidence for this (though I don't think it's completely absent), but it's definitely my headcanon.
outside of those moments, though - aka the ones that get really bad - I don't think xue yang is as off the chain as he sort of...gives off the air of being. I don't know that I'd call him calm, but I would say that he has the ability, most of the time, to exercise at least a modicum of self control.
at least, before xiao xingchen's death. frankly, after that I think he does very much lose his mind a little, but, you know. I think that's understandable, under the circumstances.

Re: your John post: I’m so fascinated by the moment when Cristabel kills herself in front of John to give him the final boost (psychological and practical) to figure out resurrection because when it WORKS and he figures it out, John’s immediate response is…to leave her lying dead on the floor because suddenly the urgency to save that one individual life evaporates in the face of everything he can now do.
There are later moments, like when the ship escapes, that are obviously pivotal in HIS mind, but it’s my sense that everything which happens after Cristabel’s (first) death is colored by that shift from “If I can just figure out how to bring ONE person back, I can bring EVERYONE back” to “Who cares if I can bring one person back? I can bring ANYONE I want back!”
And with THAT shift comes a shift in his own understanding of what morality looks like for someone with his power.
Sorry for the delay, I've been struggling with answering this one.
I agree, Cristabel's suicide is an extremely important pivotal moment for John, if not THE pivotal moment, but I'm not sure I agree about exactly what his pivot was.
After Cristabel dies, when he's holding her soul and through it sees Alecto, he doesn't go straight to 'I'm so powerful I can do anything now,' and he doesn't immediately set off the bombs or make himself god. He does a journey first through begging to become a vessel for that power, begging the soul of the Earth to tell him what to do. When he says that Alecto was incoherent and screaming, he follows up by saying "It wasn't your fault." He doesn't blame her for it, but he resents that he wasn't given guidance in that moment, that he was left with so much power and no idea what he was meant to do with it.
Something I feel carries a lot of weight in that scene for how little John dwells on it is that John was also suicidal. When he set up the nuclear threat, I don't think he expected to survive the fallout if he followed through. When Cris told him she knew how to help him and then came back with a gun, John's assumption was that she was going to kill him. And he was going to let her.
I find it difficult to analyze his immediate reaction to Cris' death, choosing to focus on Alecto over Cristabel. For personal reasons, I'm incapable of judging someone for their immediate reaction to watching a loved one commit suicide. I just can't. He had the power to bring her right back and he didn't; it seems like there's obviously something deeply wrong with that decision, but I can't assume it was out of lack of care for Cristabel. Maybe it was representative of a shift in his priorities, it seems likely that you're right and it was, but I can only credit that retroactively in how he processed having made the decision. Seeing something like that can just. Make you insane. Sometimes there is no 'why' in what you do when you're experiencing that kind of traumatic shock, and trying to find deeper meaning in it will only fuck you up beyond belief.
I'm pretty certain John was in shock, from the way he recounts it. From the moment he starts telling how Cristabel came back with the gun, he's described as sounding 'as though he were underwater with the rest of everything'. His memory surrounding the immediate aftermath is fuzzy, he can't remember details about what he did, if he took anything with him. He remembers some trivial-seeming sensory and visual details clearly, like how there was less blood than he expected on his clothes. He doesn't remember what he did, when he left the scene of her death to find the rest of his friends under assault or dead. He thinks he just watched, but he isn't sure. It feels weird, like he dreamed it. He remembers Augustine saying something in their final moments huddled together behind the barricade, but not what he said. He recalls holding Augustine and Mercy's hands as they begged for his life, as they died in front of him, but he's not sure how he got there. He was, in short, incredibly fucked up and about to die.
And that's when he ended everything, and became god.
I've been thinking about that moment preceding all of it—about Cristabel and John and how pivotal their relationship was—for a while since you first sent this, and I think on some level John does realize how important it is. John was only Catholic by the furthest stretch of the definition, we find that out fairly early in the Verses. He was baptized at a christian rock concert he'd attended for the underage drinking. There's no evidence the man ever set foot in a church prior to his apotheosis, and he goes on to construct a giant Catholic-themed space empire. Why would he do that? Why is that the blueprint he chose for his new world?
John wasn't Catholic, but Cristabel was. She was a nun, she was the only person he allowed into the room with him during his breakdown, and he addresses her as 'Sister'. She killed herself in front of him. She's the reason he learned how to perceive the soul, and she was the first soul he ever touched. Did he lean so heavily on the Catholic theme in honor of her, or to spite her, or both? Or did she push the theme herself? We know she invented the oath "One flesh, one end," and we know she was the one behind forcing the invention of lyctorhood. In her first life, we know she was the one who most enthusiastically framed John as a religious figure, even before he formed the cult. How much influence did Cristabel have in the structure and formation of the Empire? How deep an impression did she leave on the culture, and on John?

Matilda Age: (15 years old)
Warnings: dont remember them since this is a old imagine
Summary: Jay wishes for something horrible now she ends up in the hospital
Never say, I wish
Me and Matilda were in a fight over her grades. She had gotten a C- after i told repeatedly to study instead she was on her phone talking with friends and watching Disney+. Things had gotten to the point where Will tried to interfere but I ended up snapping at him. 
“Do you ever listen to my instructions?” 
“I do, oh my gosh Jay you never give me a break. It's always Mattie  study, Matilda this Matilda that.” She argued 
“Because you don't listen whenever you need to. This always happens. You don't study, you don't do your homework.”
“That was one time Jay” She said with an attitude “and everytime you say" Mom wouldn't be happy with what you're doing”. I wish you would just stop bringing her up”
“I wish you were never in my life” I snapped
As soon as I said that, I immediately regretted it and wanted to take it back. Matilda just stood there looking like she was about to cry.
“Mattie i'm sorry” i said
She just ran up to her room and slammed the door shut. Will gave a death glare and I knew I was so screwed not only with will but because I knew he would tell Hailey and Hailey would give me the worst lecturer of my life.
“Man why the hell would you say that”Will yelled
“I don’t know it just slipped”
“It just SLIPPED?”He yelled “Are you insane did you not think about what you said before you said it”
“I'm sorry I didn't think, I'll go say sorry to her now.” I said walking 
“No, let her calm down first because what you said was so wrong”. 
And just like that i had put myself in the worst situation
***
Matties POV
Why would he say that? Does he actually mean that? Maybe he is right, mom wouldn't be proud of me. I'm just a burden to both of them.
Walking around I felt a familiar feeling. The feeling of fainting. “Ugh of course this has to happen now” I yell in my head. I go to sit down on my desk chair but I don't make it very far when I can already feel myself falling.
Everything hurts so much.
All I can see is black.
***
Wills POV
Im sitting scrolling on my phone glancing at jay everyone once and a while who looks antsy to go see Matilda. I look back down at my phone and I hear a loud thud. Hoping its matilda releasing her anger by throwing things i yell to make sure she's ok. “Mattie you good up there?”
I don't hear an answer from her and I yell aging. “Mattie!” Me and Jay both exchange a worried look before running up to her room and barging in.
“Matt why aren't you- Shoot Mattie can you hear me? '' Will said, slightly slapping Mattie's face. 
“Jay go get the car ready we can't wait for an ambulance” Will immediately checked to make sure she had a pulse and was relieved she did.
Jay nodded and ran out to the car so he could pull it out to the front.
I picked Matilda realizing how light she is. I ran out to the car and jay opened the door for us and we sped off to med
“This is 50-21 gorge. I'm headed to Chicago med. 15 year old female was found unconscious in her room.” I could hear jay radio in
***
“See Jay, this is why we don't say things like that. I had a co-worker in New York who wished that she didn't have a sister. the next day her sister died on the way to her house.” 
“I'm not gonna say anything until I see Matilda. I could never forgive myself if something happened to her and that was the last thing I ever said to her.” Jay said, i could hear his voice. He was on the verge of tears but Jay doesn't like to cry in front of people because he thinks it's embarrassing. 
Just then connor came and me and jay stood up hoping for good news 
“So she's stable and it was just another episode. She does have a concussion. I assume she fell on her head because she didnt get down fast enough. “
“Can we see her now?’ I asked already knowing the answer.
“Of course, good luck with her. She's delirious from the meds.’ He chuckled and left to continue his work. 
“Matilda, stop. How many times do I have to tell you to stop playing with your IV”. Making her jump because she didn't see us walk in. 
“Ok Jay, you can say whatever you want to say now.”
“I'm so sorry I said that Mattie, I never meant to say that. I just had a bad day and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. 
“I forgive you, and i'm sorry to i should start to listen to you guys more often” She admitted
I just let out a small laugh and we all broke out in laughter on how stupid the argument was.
“I love you guys” Mattie said
“We love you too Mattie” Jay replied
I hate this one but i just wanted to post something while im working on a new imagine, even though i could've picked from many of my imagines i never posted

"It's not my fault you're like, in love with me."
So while I was trapped in the house for days on end because of ridiculous weather, I kept whinging that I just wanted to get out and see the new Mean Girls. My sister was not surprised at all to hear it, assuming I would have gone the day it came out. 
Because I’m old, old enough that the original movie came out when I was a teenager and it was a big fucking deal. I remember going to the theater with my bestie and being completely obsessed. We all wanted to be Lindsay Lohan at that point, 2004 was a crazy time, and we were incredibly impressionable. So, Mean Girls was everything.
To be fair, it definitely wormed its way into the culture. My sixty-something mother-in-law knows ‘fetch’ and my metal headbanger favorite dude friend appreciates that on Wednesdays, we wear pink. Millennials get it. I’m honestly not even sure how many times I’ve seen it. If my life depended on it, I could accurately quote most of it.
So, I was excited to see the new one, and a little weary. 
But it was cuuuuuute, y’all. I purposely didn’t read anything about it, so I was slightly surprised that it was basically literally the same story, but I guess that makes sense. The whole schtick is that it’s a musical now, so I can roll with that.
One thing I will say though, it’s hard for musicals to make perfect sense. You lose some of the story by trying to flatten it into a catchy number. So it didn’t feel as comprehensive or fleshed out  as the original (which sounds insane because Mean Girls is just a story about girls being bitches, but still). 
I also really appreciated that they kept a good bit of the classic lines that everyone wants to hear. You have to have “stop trying to make fetch happen, it’s not going to happen” and “Yo go, Glen Coco!” it’s literally not Mean Girls without that. (LOL at the explanation though that 'fetch' is slang from an old movie.)
They did strip out some of the weirder aspects, leaving out the gym coach hooking up with one of the kids, which was sketch to begin with, even in 2004. And Karen trying to make out with her first cousin, which, yikes. So ya know, progress. 
But it did feel like they took some of the bite out of Regina. Like, I got that she was supposed to be mean, but there weren’t a ton of actions to reinforce that. Or even a ton of interaction between her and Cady. The frenemy-ship wasn’t fleshed out as much as I wanted it to be. 
On the bright side though, I didn’t expect the actress they chose for Regina. Body positivity, gang! And the cast was a lot more diverse. 
But, no one is ever gonna best Lohan at the role of Cady. Sure, New Cady was cute, and she did her best but honestly, she did not have the same kind of presence or charisma. But I’m probably biased as hell. Like I’ve said before, I just want Lindsay Lohan to get her life back together. 
ALSO, this is just me complaining, but I absolutely do not fucking understand fashion right now. Like, I just…I can’t. It’s weirdly 90’s, and it wasn’t cute in the 90’s originally and it’s not cute now. I was not in love with Cady’s “makeover” and that was one of the funner aspects of the original. Which could just be me projecting because I wanted to wear all of the shit that they did in 2004 but I was not that cool, gang. So now I’m the old guy who wants gen Z fashion to get off my lawn. It’s not their fault, but it’s still confusing. 
The point is, it was a fun way to spend two hours, and I love that Tina Fey and Tim Meadows reprised their roles. I will love anything Tina Fey does, forever and always. And she loves Mean Girls so much. So I’m going to, too. And I might bump “Revenge Party” because who doesn’t love a party that ends with a head on a spike? 
Did we really need this movie? Maybe not. But I suppose we can let the zoomers in on the fantasticness that is Mean Girls. Y’all can have a piece of the crown too, I guess - it’s just plastic, after all.

Still Subject to Change Chapter 8(NEW)
——————————————————————————-
Hello everyone! i decided to repost arc 1 of SSTC
(the chapters were way too long and had a bunch of typos but hopefully this will make reading easier)
this Story contains Vore, Dont like dont read.
if there are still any grammatical errors i’m sorry.
——————————————————————————
Tumblr media
A loud voice called out, one I recognized it as the guy with the bushy eyebrows.
“BEAST! STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR YOU WILL BE SHOT! WITH POISON!
AND YOU! ARTHUR SELWYN! CLIMB ONTO THE PLATFORM OR YOU WILL BE SHOT!
Oh I did NOT like this guy! If I had anything to throw at him I would! But I wasn't sure if the consequences would be worth it.
Also the only thing i could throw were my shoes as everything else had been stripped away from me and i did not want to lose my only pair of shoes, finding new ones would be impossible at my new size.
As for Arthur, he waited till the wooden platform was lowered to the ground completely before climbing on and looking back at me one last time, his eyes glazed over with such an intense fear like I had never seen before as he was lifted up again.
As soon as he got up to the level of the balcony at least six guards apprehended him once again and dragged him out of sight.
I heard a door slam shut and assumed that I was alone again, until I heard that awful nasally voice again.
“BEAST! WHY HAVE YOU NOT KILLED THE SON OF THE TRAITOR? I SPECIFICALLY ORDERED IT! I EXPECT THAT THE NEXT TIME HE IS THROWN IN YOU KILL HIM!”
Despite having only had a few interactions with this guy i absolutely Loathed him with all my being and hoped plague would fall upon him.
And why did he think I would do what he said? Just because he had trapped me in this ugly pit didn't mean I would suddenly heed his words.
“Why would I do that? He hasn't done anything to me personally, and besides you're the one keeping my friends captive! How do I know you won't just kill all of us as soon as Arthur is dead?”
The face of the man turned a bit redder in indignancy, but otherwise he didn't dare come closer.
Coward.
“BEAST! HOW ABOUT A DEAL? I WILL LET YOU AND THE OTHER TWO CAPTIVES LEAVE THE KINGDOM AS LONG AS YOU KILL ARTHUR! THAT IS A GOOD DEAL TRUST ME”
I did anything but trust this loud bitch, but maybe i could find a way to get all of us out? This guy expected me to kill Arthur, even threatened me with starvation.
But bushy brows over there didn't know about my strange anatomy, no one aside from Robin did, so maybe I could put Arthur inside and let them think I actually ate him.
This plan was so batshit insane that it might just work! The only problem was that Arthur didn't know either and would think I was going to kill him for real.
I wouldn't even be able to tell him in case someone listened in, Besides he himself had said that he was a terrible actor so i made up my mind, as much as i hated it.
Now I only had to get Bushy brows to actually keep his word.
He didn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed so I hoped it would be easy.
“Alright, fine! But you have to swear on every river of hell AND the God Amesimos that you will let us go! Or that a hundred years of plague shall fall upon yourself! Also you will not tell the others about it EVER!”
I slowly stood up while speaking and watched with glee as his face went pale, probably seeing for the first time how big I actually was.
“BEAST! YOUR DEMANDS WILL BE MET AS LONG AS YOU KILL ARTHUR, THAT I SWEAR BY EVERY RIVER FLOWING THROUGH HELL AND BY THE GLORIOUS GOD AMESIMOS ITSELF! AS LONG AS YOU NEVER RETURN AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ESCORTED OUT OF COURSE!”
He probably thought he had a gotcha moment with his last addon, but why the fuck would i ever come back here? I knew I would be killed on sight then.
“So we have a deal then? Good you can send Arthur back i guess”
I felt absolutely sick at how his face lit up with a sick sort of glee as I had agreed, and I kind of hoped he would fall over the railing and break his neck.
I was almost relieved when his ugly mug vanished from my sight, but he returned a bit later with about twenty guards and a beaten up Arthur.
It seemed that during the short conversation I had with bushy brows they had had their ‘fun’ with him as I could make out a black eye and a split eyebrow.
At least it didn't seem like they had struck the wound in his side again, rather that they had concentrated on his face as was evident by his broken nose that bled a little onto his shirt staining it even more red.
I winced in sympathy and realized if I had not agreed to this insane plan they would just have beaten him to death.
They threw him roughly onto the platform that they had used to get him up and started to let him down again, at the last fourth however someone cut the rope and made him plummet the last of the way down with a yelp.
He didn't seem to have been further injured as far as i could tell but i still went over to check.
“I'm okay… i think, everything hurts anyway so no difference really”
He got slowly up to face me and in an attempt to seem less intimidating I sat on the ground with my legs crossed as he slowly got up.
“How's your nose? Doesn't look pleasant to be honest”
I tried to stall for some time as I didn't know if I should tell him I was going to ‘eat’ him or not, but the disgusting gaze of the man with the monobrow was still burning into my back.
“It's fine, just a bit of pain, did they want anything from you?”
He wiped the blood off as best as he could and I noticed that he was swaying a bit while standing, did they give him a concussion? I hoped not.
But at least he seemed to have enough brains to ask questions, and I decided to answer as honestly as I could.
“Well obviously they wanted me to kill you, they even offered me a deal”
At my words he went still and looked up at me with a pale face.
“What kind of deal?...”
Oh i was going to hate the next hour i was sure of it, but i would do my best to explain without giving away to the sick fuck on the balcony what was actually going on.
Sadly this meant I couldn't tell Arthur that he would be fine.
“They said that if i killed you they would let me AND the other two go, as long as we don't come back to Maringand”
It was as if someone had tugged a rug from underneath him as he sort of fell down to his knees in slow motion.
“Are you?- I mean, are you going to Take the deal? Because if so i won't fight you”
Of all the things I had thought would be the outcome for this situation it certainly wasn't that he'd just let it happen.
“I mean maybe? Why are you even okay with this? Why would you just let me do that?”
He looked dejectedly to the ground, seemingly trying to put it into words.
“Can you promise me to keep the other two safe? I always knew that one day they would get me, but the others don't deserve to suffer, can you get them back to Kamerasca for me?”
Wait, he'd just let me? As long as I promised to bring the other two back home safely?
I had planned on bringing them back there anyway, and if it meant this entire Bullshit would go over faster I'd gladly do that.
“I can do that, i'll even promise to bring them there myself even if i get shot at again”
He seemed a bit calmer at the prospect of his friends getting back home safely, but he seemed to still have something nagging at him.
“So- uh, how- how are you going to- you know?”
Ah this was the part i had dreaded, explaining that i was going to literally eat him alive was not going to go over well.
And how the fuck would i even start explaining this?
In the end I decided to just be blunt about it, no use beating around the bush after all.
“Im- im going to… eat you? I guess?”
He blanched at the words, gripping one of his upper arms so tight that I worried it would start to bleed, looking at it made me realize that there were some long healed teeth marks on his elbow.
Right Robin has said something about that.
He was sitting on the ground paler than I had ever seen him before, shaking and refusing to look at me.
Finally he spoke in a quiet and softly dejected voice.
"What do you plan to do? Chew me to bits? Or snap my neck first?"
“Neither, I intend to swallow you whole. Alive."
He winced as I told him what I was going to do.
“That's hardly any better, i really don't want to die by melting alive but i can’t stop you”
Oh yeah i forgot about that part, It would be the first thing anyone assumed when told such a thing.
I wracked my brain trying to come up with something to comfort him that wouldn’t give away that he'd be safe to the sick fuck on the balcony.
“Well, not really, you'd suffocate first before anything else happens so it would be more like just going to sleep i guess”
“How the fuck do you know that? Please don't tell me you have done something like this before!”
He was starting to panic again and I tried to find something in my Brain that could help explain it.
“Uhh, no I have not, remember that I've only been a Giant for like a week? And I've spent that time in a stupid ass forest where I got lost?
That aside, well, Biology i guess? You can't tell me you've never thrown up.
And I'm pretty sure humans suffocate after like ten minutes? Well at least people pass out by that point i've seen that outside of bars”
Alcohol did not do kind things to people, made them pretty pissy generally.
At least Arthur seemed to be a bit more at ease now after I told him why I knew such a thing.
Well as at ease as one can be when facing the prospect of being eaten alive at least.
He was however still shaking like a leaf and pale like a corpse, anticipating a death that wouldn't really come.
“We can't stall this forever can we? As much as i'd like to, i think if we take any longer they will just shoot both of us to death”
He shakily nodded, sighing.
“Alright just… get it over with i guess, i won't move”
I put my hand down in front of him so he could climb on.
He stared at it for a good few seconds seemingly not comprehending that he could just climb into my palm before he closed his eyes and stepped on.
Using my other hand to stabilize him I carefully raised him to be level with my face.
I noticed that he had shut his eyes as tight as possible and was breathing hard, trying not to panic and shaking like it was the middle of winter.
“It'll be okay i won't hurt you don't worry”
I tried to reassure him the best I could before I put him in my mouth.
Pushing a finger against him I shoved him to the back of my throat and I shifted my jaw a few times, sighing before I swallowed.
Throughout all of this Arthur had been remarkably calm and I didn't know if he had passed out or not, but a slight shift of his arms proved that he was still conscious.
—---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur was shoved head first into Donovan's mouth, past the pearly white teeth and a finger pushed him even further in, dragging him along the weirdly bumpy texture of the tongue to the back of the throat.
He could feel as Donovan opened and closed his jaws a few times, Likely preparing to swallow again.
Arthur could feel the air push against him as Donovan let out a sigh, The air swirling past him out of the mouth he was in.
Then a loud 'GLRK' sounded, taking him down most of the way.
Arthur could feel what he assumed to be Donovan’s hand press in against the throat as he went down.
He could hear the giant’s heart beating loudly as he passed it and it took everything in him not to move.
One last swallow and Arthur flopped out into an open space leaving him the one option it is.
This is not a place he imagined he’d actually end up being in, at least in one piece.
Arthur stayed still, trying his hardest not to move until he curled around himself, shaking.
He could feel the fleshy walls shift around him as the Giant breathed in and out.
He wanted to scream and hit and kick at the slowly rippling walls, but he had said he wouldn't move, so he'd try his best to keep still.
If he could keep his friends safe in exchange for this nightmare he would stay here, even if it meant his own death. —----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Arthur had slipped away from my hands I could feel him enter my pouch.
I could tell he was shaking really badly and I wished to be able to do nothing more than comfort the trembling form and tell him he wasn't gonna die.
But I couldn't, not with an entire army watching, not to mention the bushy eyebrows guy was leaning over the railing again.
He had a sick sort of elation on his face at seeing me devour Arthur and I wanted nothing more than to punch his face in.
“WELL DONE BEAST! YOU SHALL BE RELEASED TOMORROW! UNTIL THEN YOU SHALL BE WATCHED! TO ENSURE THAT HE IS TRULY DEAD!”
God I hated this prick and wished him an untimely and absolutely stupid death.
Hearing him laugh in his ear paining nasally voice I Punched the wall next to me with a loud Boom that shook the balconies overhead, making him and a few soldiers yelp in alarm.
“Your Majesty! Are you alright?’”
Wait, that was the King??? Oh fuck i was lucky that he had agreed to let me and the other two go tomorrow.
But I hadn't expected the guy with the bushy eyebrows to be the king, he just didn't look like it, but that was probably because he wasn't wearing a crown the times i saw him.
Well aware that I was being watched from who knew where I sat back against the wall near where the sun was shining in.
Drawing my legs up I put my hands over my middle where the still trembling form of Arthur currently resided.
I had to applaud him though, he had been refraining from struggling or screaming this entire time.
He certainly was a brave man, I was pretty sure I would be screaming in such a situation.
Putting my hand directly over my pouch I could even feel him breathe, he was taking slow shaky breaths apparently trying not to cry.
I felt worse than ever and I couldn't even tell him he'd be fine! If word got out to the king I'd be shot dead immediately!
I tried my best to comfort him still, rubbing softly at him through the walls of my pouch where he lay.
I stopped after hearing him let out a quiet sob.
I hated this, hated it a lot actually and wanted time to go over faster so we could leave and finally tell him that he's not in danger.
He was still trembling and it made me feel even more worse the more this went on but I didn't dare speak.
Trying to think of something else to calm him down as attempting to rub at him hadn't helped in the least i started holding my own breath.
He got some form of air supply, so if I managed to pinch that off enough he would get drowsy from lack of oxygen and fall asleep.
Perhaps holding my breath as well would work?
It might be mean to do such a thing but being in a constant state of terror couldn't be good for his brain.
I was really glad I could hold my breath for quite some time, about five minutes if I recalled correctly, enough time for Arthur to start slumbering the time he was stuck there away.
And I was right, it only took him three minutes to stop shaking and fall asleep.
So now I was sitting in this stupid pit with only the sleeping form of Arthur to keep me company, which was honestly rather boring.
However I would not try to make smalltalk with one of the Guards that without a doubt would shoot me immediately if they were allowed to do so.
We were leaving as soon as possible anyways so it would be pretty pointless to do such a thing.
Sliding down against the wall slowly so as not to disturb the sleeping Form inside of me I put my back against the wall, lying on my side and tucking my legs up, curling protectively around my middle.
I could feel Arthur slide a little in my pouch and I went dead still, hoping to not wake him up after he had finally calmed down.
As nothing besides slight shifting happened I continued to lay there trying not to think about how having something alive in my pouch felt actually sort of, good?
I shoved such thoughts as far away as possible, this would NOT become a common occurrence, After all, as soon as I got those idiots back to Kamerasca I would dip anyway.
I still couldn't figure out why the thought about them going back without me stung, but I ignored it for now.
Laying like this and watching the sunbeam move over the wall I started holding my breath everytime i thought that Arthur was about to wake up.
Some hours later the light from outside vanished completely leaving me in darkness and with nothing better to do fell asleep myself hoping that Arthur wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night.
I was not woken until the next morning when I heard doors being opened with a bang from one of the balconies startling me enough to sit up abruptly.
Fearing that it might have woken Arthur, I held my breath again as I heard the telltale clack clack of expensive shoes on stone walking to the railing.
Ah, it seems the king has arrived again.
I sincerely hoped that he’d keep his word and let me and the other two free today, but he had sworn to God and all rivers of hell so it should be fine.
I hoped at least.
I was proven right when I heard his Nasally and way too loud voice called down to me.
“BEAST! SINCE THE BOY IS NOW DEAD YOU AND THE OTHER TWO PRISONERS WILL BE ESCORTED OUT OF MARINGAND TODAY! AND REMEMBER TO NEVER RETURN TO MY KINGDOM!”
As if I ever wanted to come back to this hellhole but saying that out loud might not be a good idea.
“Sure, i'm not keen on getting stuck into this pit again, so we will leave for good i can assure you that”
Standing up slowly to make sure Arthur stayed asleep, I stood in the middle of the room as the king called down again.
“BEAST! IF YOU ARE TO STRAY TOO FAR OR ATTACK A CITIZEN YOU WILL BE SHOT! WE HAVE PLANNED A ROUTE OUT OF OUR KINGDOM AND WE WILL LEAD YOU THERE! SO DO NOT WANDER OFF OR YOU WILL BE SHOT!”
Man this guy loved to threaten me with getting shot, and I kinda wished I could shoot him instead.
Ignoring the urge to punch the wall again I heard another set of doors being opened.
Turning around I saw that they were pushing the only door that I could fit through slowly open.
Peering into the dark I saw at least forty guards, all fitted with crossbows in addition to their normal getup standing in front of a slope that seemed to have been carved out of the surrounding stone.
Slowly going up the tunnel surrounded by armed Guards I saw another door that was also being opened the moment we came near it.
Arthur was still unconscious, and currently bunched up like in a hammock at the bottom of my pouch.
I held my breath again to make sure Arthur stayed asleep but made extra sure to not completely suffocate him, just keep the air low enough that he wouldn't wake up.
Watching the Doors swing open I saw both Robin and Rikaad on the other side, both surrounded by Guards like me.
Robin's face lit up at the sight of me and Rikaad looked confusedly behind me and around as if searching for someone, and I knew exactly who he was looking for but I couldn't tell him that Arthur was okay and with me, Within me right now.
And I prayed to Amesimos that he would never find out, he was an enigma as it was and I couldn't predict what he would do if he ever did find out.
It might be okay, or he could just murder me for doing such a thing I couldn't tell with that guy.
I knew as long as I didn't do anything bad he was alright but I didn't know how he would react to something like this.
Robin seemed to have catched up on the fact that Arthur was still missing and was looking around confusedly.
He even tried to get closer to me but was yanked back by a Guard and put next to Rikaad who looked at the offending man with the iciest look i had ever seen him have, and even the guard backed off a bit as Rikaad stood provocatively next to Robin while Squaring up in front of the smaller Guard.
He really was a tall human, if i was still normal sized i’d definitely be scared of him.
I was also a bit scared of him as a Giant to be honest, Those eyes still unnerved me greatly.
As I was being led out of the tower I noticed it was near the edge of the forest next to some houses, and that Robin was right about me being tall like a house, I could see onto the roofs pretty well.
At the command of some higher ranking Guard we were all collectively herded along the line of buildings towards the forest.
If the streets weren't completely empty it would feel like I was being paraded through town, but it looked like they had ‘evacuated’ all citizens for this.
One less thing to worry about I hoped.
They really weren't fast either and I had to slowly drag my feet across the ground to not step out of the line they made.
I really tried to steer closer to Robin and Rikaad but the Guards always switched positions with them so I couldn't get near, and every time I did try they would aim their crossbows at me.
Feeling Arthur move a bit I held my breath again, if he woke up now and made any noise that could be heard on the outside we'd all be dead men.
I felt really bad about doing this to him, but I didn't really have any other options, and besides it was to save his hide as much as mine.
I just hoped he would forgive me for this one day, but it was unlikely.
It was whatever, they would go back home to Kamerasca and I would have to wander the woods as just another monster if I didn't find out how to deal with this curse.
Noticing movement out of the corner of my eye I looked onto a rooftop to see a barefooted boy in tattered clothing standing there, He seemed to be not older than eleven or twelve, and surprisingly had pointed ears just like me.
Another Bastard, I looked at him in sympathy and silently wished him luck.
I knew how hard street life could be as an unwanted halfbreed.
As he saw that I was looking at him he made the thumbs up gesture while pointing to his ears and I gave the tiniest nod back.
He climbed over the roofs out of sight and I doubted that I would ever see this boy again.
But it was nice to know I wasn't the only one.
I noticed that the direction we were going in was towards the mountain and I guessed that they would let us go at roughly the same spot they found us.
Holding my breath again as I felt Arthur move I tried to get closer to Robin and Rikaad once more but stopped when some of the Guards raised their crossbows at me.
There was no doubt in my mind that the tips were coated in poison and I was not keen on getting shot, again.

hi girl, how are you? I hope ur fine and that everything's perfectly okay, i got some questions, if u don't mind answering.
so on September it's my freshman year, im so excited, and especially bcz im going to a new school, which means new people, new experiences and stuff.
Ik high school isn't as perfect as i see it in movies, and that my skl won't take us on a road trip and leave us all alone so we can have fun 💀 but i was wondering if u had any tips for high skl.
I also kinda wanna have a glow up, both physical and mental, during summer, and since ur a whole glowup guru I thought u could give me a "program" to follow so i can look, think and behave better, especially cz my mom doesn't allow me to go out so no gym or activities outside, and she thinks im too young to have a skincare or follow a diet yk.
thank u so much in advance, i absolutely love ur posts, and if u can't or don't have time to answer, that's perfectly fine, stay safe hun<33
hello love,
sorry this is late. classes have been insane. congratulations on your new school! it's always exciting when you try something new, and I promise you're gonna love it.
now, im assuming you're 15/16 years old, since you're a freshman. Before I say anything about having fun in high school, I need to you remember that while TV and movies glorify high school as this really crazy time where you party and have fun (yes, you will have fun I promise), its important to keep in mind that these four years will help you decide your future and get into college. So work hard, and party harder.
Okay, now that I've said that, let's tackle this bit by bit.
How to have fun in high school:
Have sleepovers: They're a fun and easy way to bond with friends. Order tons of junk food and stay up all night.
Picnics: My favourite activity. Dress up and have a themed picnic, and have a photoshoot.
Pool party: If someone you know has a pool, go have fun in the water!
Hang out: Honestly, this was the most fun I had in high school. Just meet at someone's house or at the park, and just chat. Or bring an activity to do together (crochet, playing cards, etc). Buy some snacks and play some music and it's the most chill vibe ever. You will love it.
Start a band: If you play an insturment/ sing, start a band! It's so much fun to practice and perform with friends!
Join a club: You can make lots of like-minded friends at clubs at school. Pick something you really like to do.
How to glow-up for high school:
Workout:
There's no rule that the gym is the only place to workout. When I was 15, I wasn't allowed to the gym either, so I had to make do.
Youtube videos: There are tons and tons of great workout videos from people with a large following. My favourites are Caroline Girvan, growingannanas, Pamela Reif and Madfit. Go get sweaty!
Makeshift weights: You can water bottles filled with water/sand as weights or buy ankle weights to put around your wrists as you get stronger.
Run: This is an amazing source of cardio. I gave up a while back on this because I detest running, but it really does work. Plug in your headphones and go for a run in nature.
Dance: Dancing is a really fun way to workout. Try Zumba, hip-hop or K-pop routines. Hell, even Just Dance has some good ones. Join a class if you want to stay accountable.
Diet:
Honestly, I can't give a lot of advice to you here, because I'm not qualified enough. Go to a nutritionist to see if there's anything you can do. If not, make sure to eat plenty of protein and fibre, limit your junk food intake and drink lots of water. Make lots of salads and fruit bowls. Overnight oats are healthy, filling and delicious.
What I like to do, is eat everything in moderation. Say I've had a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner. I won't deny myself a nice bowl of ice-cream (again, not a sundae, the key is moderation). But if I've had greasy food for lunch and takeout for dinner, I'll probably settle for fruit instead. Know that you can eat without punishing yourself, but remember not to go overboard. Food is fuel, remember.
Other tips:
Skincare: Don't make it too fancy. I know influencers and the like have those weird 15-step skincare routines, but it isn't necessary. I use the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and the most basic Cetaphil face lotion I could find along with an organic lip balm my mom buys. It works like a charm and itsn to too fancy. I also take an ABC smoothie (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot + some water.) This is such a game-changer.
Abundance mindset: I like to think of the universe constantly working in my favour. It's always looking out for me, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world. What you think is what you attract. If you think negatively, you will begin to see only bad things around you. Stay positive.
Wardrobe: Go thrifting, or DIY some old clothes. Pinterest has tons of amazing ideas. Paint your T-shirts, dye your skirts, make cute jewellery at home. There are no limits.
Makeup: I don't recommend it honestly. I'm more or less anti makeup to the point where I only own two pieces of makeup(eyeliner and lip gloss) and even those are used sparingly. Don't get used to your painted face. Your natural beauty is beautiful; and should not be hidden. There's something so amazing in someone who is confident in their own skin. Own yourself, and people will love you more for it.
This post became incredibly long lmao, but I hope I was able to help. DM me if you want more tips. You got this xoxo
<3

i wish you would write a fic where reader & suna confess they had feelings for each other in high school a couple years later at a college party!! except reader has a partner now and suna is left to deal with his regret 😃
“Your boyfriend seems popular,” Suna says, green-gold gaze focused on the man in question, jumping around across the room. You and he rest in a quiet corner, leaned against the wall, taking slow sips of your drinks.
"Yeah," you say, more admiring than Suna was for sure. "I sure know how to pick 'em, huh?"
"What do you mean?" Suna is curious. Curiosity killed the stupid, stupid boy in love with his best friend.
"Y'know," you say, and your words slur together like they always do when you're embarrassed, like you think it'll save you from being heard. "The ones who everyone else wants."
"Don't tell me you liked one of the twins," he rolls his eyes to look at you, the way you've got a smile hidden in your cup making his heart twist painfully. You've never talked much about crushes with each other, because, well... Yeah.
He didn't want to know about all the guys he couldn't hold a candle to, because he was a pining, pathetic, fraidy-cat, and anyway, it wasn't like you were offering up the information. You'd both assumed the other was just private.
"No! No," you snort, nearly choking on your own saliva. "Please."
"I don't remember anyone else having a fanclub," he thinks. "Maybe Aran?"
"Stop selling yourself short," you say, and the whole world freezes up around him.
"...Me?" His reply comes after a painfully long pause, and you can see the plain bewilderment on his usually guarded face. You nod. It's still so hard to say the words you'd swallowed every day of high school.
"I think everyone in our class liked you at some point, to be fair. People were comfortable saying the most insane bullshit in front of me. You never noticed?"
"They didn't matter," he says quickly, leans forward, eyes burning holes in your face. "You liked me?"
"Yeah," you swallow. "A lot. It was kind of wild, I think all my friends got sick of me crying about it all the time."
"Huh." He leans back, expression carefully considerate. "We could've... I kind of liked you."
"Wait, really?" Your eyes stray back to your boyfriend, who looks back at you across a sea of people and smiles, like you're a star that's burst into blinding radiance in the middle of this party.
"Crazy," Suna murmurs, knowing that your attention has been suddenly absorbed away from him. "Sorry about the crying, I guess."
"You're good," you laugh, completely oblivious. Just like he was. "It all worked out how it was supposed to, I think."
"Yeah," he says, watching your boyfriend make his way toward you. "Hey, I gotta go. You have a good night, okay?"

I'm watching Sonic prime because you can't give me multiverse and unlikely allies and think I won't watch it.
But this is the first piece of Sonic media I've ever consumed (sonic underground doesn't count cause I remember nothing of it, and neither do the films) so. Live blog lmao.
-"Shadow is... Complicated. More on that later" can't wait bro
-Ok rouge the bat is a good guy? I thought she was vaguely anti hero ish.
-what the fuck is a paradox emerald. I stopped at chaos emeralds. What's the difference? How are they created? This one was just... In a cave???
-"sonic boom of a headache" ah ah I see what you did there.
-whats with the knuckles slander!!!
-THATS NEW YORK??????
-so they're not allowed to talk to other people I guess?
-why are they making it seem like it's his shoes that make him fast????
-are rings currency? I was under the impression they were currency. Why is he looking for cash rn
-fickeis???
-he knows what smog is. How does he know what smog is. He lives in a forest.
.
.
Does he live in a forest? It's like... All green.
OH ITS WHAT EGGMAN WANTED! A WORLD RESEMBLING HIM AND NOT SONIC.
-What is the prism shatter??? Do they mean the paradox emerald? So sure they called it the paradox emerald and not the paradox prism.
-WHATS WITH THE TAILS SLANDER!!!
-Yes I know he insulted sonic as well but I think sonic deserved it in that moment.
-ok shadow was just. There. Dudes not even helping. You live here you asshole! Do your part!
-"Tails never gets upset" that's unhealthy!
-is 1992 the year the first sonic game came out? Something tells me that's the year Sonic's first game came out.
-...what's the difference between a trap and a trick?
-why Rouge! The only thing I know is that you're a cat!
-WHY ARE THEY CALLINF IT A PARADOX PRISM NOW?
-the fact the place IS called "the loop-de-loop" and it's not just what Sonic calls it is. Priceless.
-ngl I thought sonic was gonna be more... Sassy? Clever? WITTY! but no. He's a lot more like how I imagined Knuckles to be. Knuckles is my favorite btw. I know nothing of him other than he's vaguely mean and dumb. But not like Shadow's angsty edgy mean. More like a jock kinda mean.
-also no one explained why it's called the paradox prism. Or why Rouge knows what it is/that that's what Eggman was looking for.
-oh there you go end of flashback. Also where the FUCK is shadow. How later sonic? How much later?
-Rusty Rose?? That's Amy isn't it? Like Evil alternate universe Amy.
-i don't know who Babbles is.
-IS THAT A BOP IT?
-Ok no it isn't.
- I don't understand what the shoes malfunctioning means. Is his speed artificial??? Are they like Spider-man's web-shooters?
-EGGMAN IS A FATHER? WHO'S THE MOM???
-Also Rose said there were other rebels. Wonder if it's the same squad- oh they answered my question. Rouge is not Rebel. And I guess Knuckles is also a rebel. Don't know if Tails is gonna be good or not. Cause I remember seeing something about a Tails with robot... Tails.
-YOURE IN AN ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THINGS WOULD BE THE SAME.
-ok I was right. His name is... Nine? Also these episodes are really long.
-oh he still has the regular tails. It's more of a doc oc situation. I thought they were prosthetics.
-GEEZ "I was trained by the misery of life and this dark and heartless city" GEEZ
-gonna assume he's gonna be like "why'd you save me??? Why would you do this for me??"
-oh lord game footage that's cool as shit.
-sonic is not gonna pierce this together is he? And Nine is not gonna be like "yeah alright this guy is insane"
-MR.DR.EGGMAN. that's... Too much.
-Aww they're doing a little Tails bragging moment. Talking about how they're friends that's sweet.
-CHAOS COUNCIL? We're back to the chaos nomenclature??? what happened to the paradox shit? the hardest part of this is not that I don't have any sonic knowledge, it's that I have SOME sonic lore knowledge gained through osmosis and it's clashing with the lore that they're trying to establish in this cartoon.

The "femcels" and "female manipulator" people are completely insane to me. Babe, it is not a flex to proudly admit that you're abusive and manipulative lol
I often find too that "femcel" is synonymous with "terf"
Funny how that works huh.
I may be a lesbian, but I don't *hate* men. I actually have quite a few male friends. Hell, even a few straight ones alongside bisexual ones. I genuinely enjoy the presence of my male friends and I'm not on the constant thought that they're going to assault me at any minute, nor do I even think for a second that they have a crush on me secretly. Even the single ones.
By the way, dismissing sexual assault or rape by saying "Eugh, it's just men being pigs like always!" just makes it completely impossible for that individual man to take responsibility for his actions, cause it's apparently just "the norm" and therefore should just be disregarded as "boys being boys" and not "this man is a rapist"
Sure, I understand being a woman or just general feminine person that fears men because statistics show that man on woman rape is more common, but this doesn't automatically render *every* man a rapist, nor does it make them responsible for another man's predatory actions. It also frustrates me how much women raping men gets invalidated and disregarded because "he probably wanted it" because she is a woman. This is not fucking true. Just because he's a man, doesn't mean that he necessarily craves the attention of women every second of his life. This goes the same for women abusing men; whether it be emotionally, mentally, or even physically. They're called "girlbosses" when they're really just being an abusive piece of shit for no good reason.
The way that women breeching their boyfriends privacy is such a normalized thing is honestly disgusting, too. If a man simply doesn't wish for his girlfriend to check his phone and go through his messages, it's automatically assumed that he's cheating or having an affair. If it was the opposite way around and a man did this to his girlfriend, he'd be shamed and called a red flag. BOTH are red flags. If you're so insecure that you feel the need to violate your partners privacy because you're so worried about them cheating on you, then that just goes to show that you do not trust your partner and therefore don't love them that much. Relationships require TRUST, and if you cannot trust your partner; you should never be in a relationship.
I don't allow my girlfriend to go through my phone without permission. She doesn't allow me to, either. No, it's not because we have anything to hide or we're cheating; we just have boundaries and respect for each other's privacy. I personally have extreme trauma with my privacy being violated as a child in the name of "protecting" me and "monitoring" me. Now I don't feel safe to leave my phone or any devices on in the same room as someone because it makes me stressed out to think that they may look through my photos, messages, etc and see things that weren't meant for them. I.e private conversations between friends where they may be venting or spilling private information that they intended for only you to see.
My partners are both completely understanding of this and don't look at nor go through my devices without explicit permission from me.
Anti-man rhetoric is so highschooler-core and I wish it'd stop. Grow the fuck up. You're not cute for being an abusive, manipulative dickhead. The women who say "all men are rapists and and abusers" I just wanna ask, how come all of my straight, single male friends haven't raped, abused or assaulted me? 🤔 How come they're very normal human beings whose only thoughts aren't constantly about having sex? How come some of them are asexual? 🤔 Gee, really makes you think...maybe you should just try having male friends who aren't abusers. Problem solved.
Misandry is just as disgusting as misogyny. Both are equally bad. Period. Fuck femcels.
