Sir Pentious & Alastor: an underrated dynamic
Tumblr media
"Show yourself, Alastor! Come and face--! Oh, there you are. FACE MY WRATH!"
Sir Pentious has been in Hell for much longer than Alastor. That means he was there when the Radio Demon appeared, and he's been trying to overthrow Alastor for decades! We know what Alastor is capable of, and what he could do if he truly wanted Sir Pentious to stop. He obviously doesn't register Sir Pentious as a threat, but that doesn't mean he's not annoying (like when he interrupts his song in the pilot and destroys a wall in ep2). Yet in all those decades, Alastor always let him go with the equivalent of a slap on the wrist, considering what he's done to other sinners in his broadcasts.
And why is that? Why, he must find Sir Pentious very entertaining, of course! Even though he calls Sir Pentious forgettable (to rile him up), there's no way a narcissist like him doesn't LOVE being the main focus of Pentious' "evil plans", as pathetic as they are. Not only does he give him the attention he deserves (like Vox), he's a true "architect of evil" who constantly reinvents himself to try and get the upper hand on Alastor. To Alastor, Pentious is like a sillier, weaker, more immature version of Vox with close to ZERO survival instincts but twice the creativity. Even Vox, who made a whole diss track about Al, wouldn't dare speak to him the way Sir Pentious does if they were face to face.
Tumblr media
"SILENCE! Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal."
He does have some "oh shit" moments when he sees he crossed a line/is about to get Team Rocket-ed, but he still gets back up and attacks him again with all the unearned confidence of a man who has no idea how easy Alastor goes on him.
Just like Alastor, Pentious is attached to the aesthetics and technology of the time period he knew when he was alive, and still manages to innovate with those limitations. I think Alastor could respect that.
"You whores have no class! In war, the side remembered is the side with the most style!"
It's also funny that to Pentious, Alastor is the young, modern one. Some phrases Alastor uses are "young people slang" to him!
Pentious asking Alastor questions on his "modern" radio technology...
Alastor is one sarcastic bastard, and Sir Pent is one of the most naive characters in the show. He takes a lot of things way too literally (#autism?). That's just PERFECT for comedic misunderstandings between these two!
Before s1 was released there were quite a lot of ace!Pentious headcanons. I think we could still make a case for closeted ace-adjacent!Pentious in canon! Possibility even aroace!Pentious, if we interpret his crush on Cherri as compulsive heteronormativity (he loves her creative genius and is fascinated by her explosive contraptions; surely that means she's the one, right?)
Ace4Ace Alastor & Pentious would be a fun duo in my opinion. They could bond over their shared experience
On the topic of bonding... ("I have feelings for you" (Narrator voice: the feeling was friendship, but he had ever experienced it before)
Seriously, imagine Sir Pentious spending more and more time around Alastor because of the hotel, taking his sarcastic and mocking remarks literally and thinking they're becoming closer... And then being like. WAIT. Do I have feelings for him?? and trying to seduce him like he does with Cherri Bomb. The absolute shenanigans... Rizzlord Pentious strikes again.
Accidental fake dating scenario that only exists in Vox's head, where Vox, being the stalker that he is, spies in the two of them bonding and reaches all the wrong conclusions
Once Sir Pentious dies for the second time and ascends to Heaven, he could meet Alastor's mom 👀
EDIT: OH and How could I forget the Egg Boiz?? Egg Boiz babysitter!Alastor is canon and he definitely babysat them multiple times in the few months Sir Pentious spent at the hotel. Joint custody :3
AND let's not forget the important information that Frank the Egg Boy reported to Sir Pentious lol. The one Charlie made a deal with Alastor for. I can imagine Alastor considering killing the Egg Boiz/ Sir Pentious after learning Frank didn't keep quiet (Imagine Sir Pentious trying to engage in a conversation w/ Alastor and telling him what Frank told him as a joke akfkkd), spending a whole afternoon trailing after them and making plans, only to realise that the Egg Boiz say insane shit all the time and Sir Pentious was in fact NOT playing 4D chess by telling him he knew (and probably already forgot all about it)

"Henr- ... we all know I don't mean him we're talking about real people."

"And don't get me started on Robert that big buff baby, I've put him in just about every costume under the sun, and yet he still puts up with me and stays still no idea why. But it's because of him my restaurant has expanded so much, from a bowling alley, a karaoke bar and dumpsters full of meat."

DUDE ok i was a casual fan of alien stage before round six but now im like quaking in my boots, i wasn’t even thinking about a potential saving grace bc of hyuna. and like when i watched it i was so “100% ivan’s dead there’s no world where vivinos would keep him alive” and now im staying on that train bc it’s true and also i don’t want to be mourning for no reason lol
anyway it’s certain mizi and till will meet, probably when she saves his depressed ass like he keeps dreaming about, but what i think is gonna happen is that he’s gonna realize that the mizi he’s been yearning for isn’t the mizi that actually exists.
obviously it’s been hinted at bc her physical appearance has changed from the glasses wearing long haired angel till sees in round 6 after (or in the middle of, bc he wasn’t wearing the collar mute thing) getting assaulted, but also i don’t think mizi could ever consider till as more than a friend?
like idk mizi falling for really anyone else leaves a bad taste in my mouth, esp for someone who loves an idealized version of her, and i also very selfishly want my toxic yaoi to be requited even in death so till realizing he lost his real chance at partnership
my heart says till mourns a missed chance and never moves on, ivan deserves it >:(, my brain says maybe in the end mizi and till will become besties and grieve together in a new human world
or or maybe vivinos kills everyone off and like fades out into a future round of alien stage bc it’s a never ending cycle or whatever
sorry for length my brain worms have been brain worming
You know what I vibe with this. Ever since Mizi cut her hair I've been thinking about what it meant for her character (wrote a whole post about it) and how she's changed from the person the rest of the cast saw her as initially. I also don't think Mizi would see Till as anything more than a dear friend. She loves and cares for him, of course, just not in that way, and she'd be kind of disconcerted if she found out how he viewed her. It's implied that Till was always too shy to actually get close to Mizi, so it's likely that he doesn't know what she's actually like. He most likely takes her kind actions at face value and uses these bits of her to build an image in his head. An image of a perfect, flawless angel who's kindness knows no bounds. A purely gentle soul. But Mizi is not like that in actuality, of course. Nobody is. She's incredibly flawed, naive, prone to drowning in her emotion and lashes out when provoked. She's always been a lot stronger than she looks, too. I really want them to be friends, though. They deserve support and solidarity together with Hyuna once they reach an understanding. Hopefully they make it out alive!! (they so totally will not)
The series ending with everyone dead and the next season of Alien Stage beginning would be absolutely diabolical 😭 I could see that kind of thing happening since it's VIVINOS after all

HI! I absolutely loved your fic with Steve finding reader's mudic player in his hoodie. I was wondering if you could do a similar idea with Bucky?
Hi anon! I really appreciate your request. I made it just really soft and happy. Hope you Enjoy!
It Feels Like Flying [b.b]
summary : (request) Reader forgets her music player in Bucky's hoodie. Bucky finds it when he's at the gym, and discovers a playlist focused on him. He brings it up to reader and they talk while listening to the playlist.
pairings : Bucky Barnes/Reader
warnings : None. Just a straight comfort fic.
word count : 1,550
AO3 (x)
a/n : I appreciate the request! Feel free to request more, it helps me get out of my slump of not posting unless the fic seems perfect.
Tumblr media
The first thing you notice when you wake up is the light filtering its way through the blinds, then you feel the arm around your waist. You can’t help but smile at the feeling of Bucky’s fingers ghosting over your skin, the feather light touch trailing goosebumps over your skin. Rolling over, you’re greeted by Bucky’s eyes staring at you lovingly. 
“G'morning,” you sleepily murmur while tucking your face into his neck with a kiss.
“Mornin’ sweets,” Bucky kisses your temple.
“What time is it?”
“Just before six.”
“That’s too early for a Saturday,” you groan at the ungodly hour making Bucky chuckle.
“You can go back to sleep sweetheart. I was planning on heading to the gym for a bit, I can wake you up when I get back.”
You nod at the offer and press a kiss to his neck once again. Bucky gently untangles himself from you and tucks you in on his side of the bed. You bury your face into his pillow while relishing the warmth he left behind. Kissing your forehead, Bucky grabs his gym bag and walks toward the living room. He smoothly ties his trainers before grabbing his hoodie off the couch where you’d left it. Moving silently, Bucky closes the door behind him before walking to the compound’s gym. 
He feels his shoulders relax while wrapping his hands. He remembers more of his life before the war, and is grateful that not much has changed in boxing equipment. Making sure his hand wraps are secured, he pulls the hoodie over himself. He feels a slim square shift in the pocket and grins at the thought of you leaving your music player in the most random areas. He pulls the small object from the confines of the hoodie and unwinds the earbuds. Threading them through the hoodie, he put them in and presses play. Not paying too much attention to what’s playing, he begins settling into a rhythm at the reinforced punching bag. He settles into a pattern of landing his hits while shuffling around the bag and focusing on his breathing. Time feels as though it’s standing still but also flying past him as he lets his mind wander.
The world is still so different to what he remembers. All the technology in the compound’s gym is overwhelming. He doesn’t understand why treadmills and stair masters exist. These aren’t revolutionary exercises, they did the same thing and more back in the war. He, Sam, and Steve never used most of the equipment in the facility. He wanted to keep some things the way he remembers them to be. He was grateful for many of the modern wonders of the twenty-first century, however some things weren’t improved by it. Like punching a bag filled with sand to clear your mind. 
It doesn’t matter how well his feet are planted, once he actually listens to what music you’d left off on, Bucky completely misses his next hit and feels the bag slam into him. The reassuring chorus of “We’ll Meet Again” is what really knocks the air out of him and leaves him reeling. It wasn’t the version he remembered, having Frank Sinatra’s timber instead of Vera Lynn’s breathy words wrapping around his head and settling into his chest. He felt warmth at the thought of you playing this song while wrapped in his hoodie. He hung his head and took deep breaths trying to steady himself again. He tries to continue the rhythm he'd fallen out of, but it was to no avail.
Walking back to his locker he begins unwrapping his hand as the song finishes. As he closes his locker the beginning notes of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” begin to come through the earbuds. Bucky smiles softly at the song, remembering how often it had played on the radio before he'd been drafted. Shaking his head in loving disbelief, he finally pulled your music player back out and looked at your playlist. It was filled with songs he knew by heart that he regularly played, others he remembers telling you about in passing, and others he had missed out on. As his eyes scan over the songs, they catch on the name of the playlist being “Buckshot” and roll at the dumb nickname you’d given him after a few missions together. 
The elevator doors open and Bucky steps in, "Jarvis, take me to my living quarters."
As Jarvis sets the elevator, Bucky finally feels the shock wearing off that you have a playlist of songs named after him. He wants to know everything about the playlist. Why these songs, how often do you play it, when did you make it? The elevator slows and soon the doors open to the floor of your shared apartment. 
Bucky swiftly opens the door and toes off his shoes. Not having been working out long enough to get sweaty, he doesn't bother to shower before going to the bedroom. He nimbly climbs in bed next to you and unplugs the headphones from your music player. He turns to volume to a quiet level and faces you. Taking in your peaceful form as you sleep, Bucky cups your cheek. He starts to sing along in a murmur to the music, and eventually your eyes start to flutter open. 
"Hi," you breathe with a smile. "When'd you get back?" 
"Not long ago. You looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you yet." Bucky rests his forehead against yours. "How'd you sleep?"
"Okay, I missed your cuddles. How was the gym?"
"It was great," he kisses your nose with a giddy expression. "I found your music player in my hoodie." 
You let out a surprised squeak and cover your face with your hands. 
"It took me a few minutes to realize what music was playing," he continued. "But once I did I was surprised."
"I'm sorry," you mumbled from behind your hands. " I know it's probably weird."
"Don't be, doll. I liked discovering you have a playlist about me. It's sweet. Made me feel special knowing you had something that reminded you of me like that," he slowly peeled your hands from your face to reveal your blush.
"Of course I want something to remind me of you when you're gone!"
Bucky just leans down and kisses you sweetly. It isn't until you feel your head start to swim that you're forced to break away from his kiss. You trace his lips with your index finger, chests bumping together as you share each other's breaths, and hear the opening notes of "Dream Sweet in Sea Major" coming from near your head.
"You don't know this one," you breathe against his lips. "It made me think of something you would have listened to. Both sweetly wishful while being a kind of aching longing." 
Bucky feels his heart swell even more from your explanation of why you put the song in the playlist. He doesn't recognize it but it feels eerily familiar. He listens carefully, thinking about how the song really did resemble some songs he'd shown you but definitely more modern. 
"'Believe me, darling. The stars were made for falling,'" you quietly sang to him. "'Like melting obelisks as tall as another realm.'"
Bucky closes his eyes and lets your quiet singing wash over him. He'd never understand how he got lucky enough to meet you, let alone date you. After every horrible thing he'd been forced to do, he had resigned himself to a life of being alone with the exception of Steve. But you'd always been so accepting of him, reminding him he didn't want to do those things. That wasn't him. He'd never understood how you could be so accepting of him, and choose to love him as openly and sweetly as you do. He couldn't help the grateful feeling that arose every time he thought about your compassionate heart.
"'You look quite divine tonight. Here among these vibrant lights. Pure delights surround us as we sail,'" you continue as you trace his features slowly.
You take care tracing down the slope of his nose. Ghosting over the delicate skin beneath his eyes. Following the arch of his eyebrow, trailing along his cheekbone down to his jaw. Grazing his cupid's bow. Completely entranced by the tranquility that has graced his relaxed form. It wasn't often he let go of the weight surrounding his mind.
"What did I do to deserve you?" He wondered aloud, gently grabbing your wrist. His eyes met yours as he swept his thumb along the inside of your wrist.
"You were you. Simple as that, Bucky," you admitted.
As the song faded into the next, you shared with Bucky why you'd added this one to the playlist. And that's how the two of you spent the rest of the morning. Singing to each other and sharing your thoughts about the songs that played. Revealing your thoughts to each other. Adding songs as Bucky recommends them and as you show him new ones.

Again, cool response to the last question, so I'll let you pick from these options:
And there are things I have fan-fixed in my head to the point that I have to remind myself that the fix-it isn’t part of the actual canon: favourite one of these?
Or
Your/a favourite part of actual canon. Like, maybe something little but it's just so lovely and fitting to you and you're just happy that it exists?

for every person, another version of them exists in a universe beyond, bearing a different fate..
the words were etched into y/n's mind, yes, but they were never of much importance to him.
he'd heard stories about how there are many other universes, a different fate set for each person in every one of them. he never truly thought they were anything real, because he was mostly a child when being told those tales.
even if the many different universes did exist, y/n doesn't even know what his fate in this one is. he doesn't have time to be wrapped up in these dumb yet interesting stories, because he has to deal with reality.
and he absolutely hates having to deal with the reality of his situation..
y/n always freezes and his face scrunches whenever the bell above the door rings and he hears the familiar giggles of them, watching them hold hands, seeing them be happy, watching them be cheesy and corny whilst he just observes.
he wishes he could look down and pretend he didn't exist, but that was pretty much impossible because it's him.
it's park gunwook.
"y/n!"
god, y/n wishes that he could just turn away and ignore gunwook, but how do you ignore your best friend of five whole years? the one person he has so many similarities with he could count on more than twenty fingers?
so, he curses at himself in his head, shoves his feelings down into the recesses of his mind and gives gunwook his fakest of smiles. "hi gunwook—"
gunwook pulls him into the tightest hug ever, and y/n pauses for a moment, processing the whole thing before wrapping his arms around gunwook, basking in the hug. "woah, what's this for?"
"i missed you" gunwook mumbles into his neck. "obviously.."
"gunwook" y/n begins. "we saw each other two days ago?"
"two days is too long of a gap" gunwook laughs, his perfect smile on display as he pulls away from the hug, staring lovingly at his best friend.
only platonically, though. gunwook would never look at him like he'd want for him too..
"anyway, how have you been?"
"i've been.. fine! yeah! fine!"
y/n hates lying, but what other choice does he have?
gunwook narrows his eyes, as if suspicious by his answer, but he smiles anyway. "how's your mom? is she recovering well?" he jumps up excitedly, giving that familiar smile which always makes y/n crumble.
"she's okay! she's still in the hospital but she's recovering well".
gunwook nods, smiling. "i'm happy to hear that, i— well.. aeri and i are planning on visiting her".
y/n's mouth sours, but he sighs. "the both of you?" that question left his mouth with such disdain, he hopes it wasn't obvious he was glaring.
"oh, do you have a problem with that? we don't have to go if you don't want us to—"
"no no" y/n shakes his head; "it's okay".
but it's not okay.
when has it ever been okay? y/n has always been horrible at expressing how he genuinely felt, he always masked his feelings with a fake smile, or fake words, he always pretend he's okay.
he can't do that to gunwook, he wouldn't do that to gunwook, ever. is he extremely pissed off that gunwook's girlfriend is now doing everything that they do together? yeah, of course he is.
but gunwook is his best friend.
he'd never do something of that degree to his own best friend.
y/n sighs, smiling. "when visiting hours open, i'll call you two, i'm sure my mom would love to see you".
gunwook nods, looking to aeri, who also nods, yet slower.
y/n pauses, scratching his hands under the counter. gunwook stares at him, blinking, he looks to aeri for a moment, smiling at her. "um, you can go, babe, i'll meet you outside, yeah?"
babe, y/n shuts his eyes, gritting his teeth.
"yeah, just don't take too long!"
"i won't!"
when aeri leaves, the bell above the door ringing as she opens the door, gunwook looks back to his best friend, smiling. "why are you..? shouldn't you be going?"
"y/n, remember when we were kids and your mom would tell us these stories to get us to go to sleep?"
gunwook completely derails the topic of the conversation, not answering y/n's question. y/n blinks curiously, not knowing why he'd randomly bring that up.
"yeah? what does that have to do with anythi—"
"well i know it's only been two days, but i saw you and it reminded me of, you know, that tale your mom told us about the countless different universes and how there's a version of us in each of them that bears a different fate and—"
y/n had heard this tale thousands of times, but he watches fondly as gunwook rambles, his eyes lit up, stars in them as he talks about the insane possibilities of who they could be and what fate they could have in other universes.
"i don't know gunwook, it seems like just a dumb story to me".
"y/n!" gunwook whines, grabbing his arms. "your so boring, you don't even believe in this".
"sounds like something from a marvel movie".
"you love marvel movies though!"
y/n shakes his head, looking away. "okay then, in another universe, would you still be park gunwook my best friend in the whole entire world?"
gunwook's face flushes lightly, but he shakes his head and smiles. "in every other universe that exists, i'll always be in your life".
"wow, romantic".
gunwook giggles, looking away, still holding y/n's arms. "in another universe we might hate each other".
"please that would never happen".
maybe, in another universe, i finally get to have you.
Tumblr media
for every person, another version of them exists in a universe beyond, bearing a different fate..
y/n scrunches his nose, staring at the book before him. the words on the page strangely piece together in his brain, as if they make no sense but also make sense at the same time. after a while of pausing, he snickers.
other universes? yeah right.
"whatcha reading?"
"ah!"
y/n jumps, and when he turns around he's met with the smiling face of his partner. "jesus christ, gunwook, you need to stop sneaking up on me like that".
only a cheeky smile is earned from his boyfriend, who jumps over the bleacher to sit beside him, stretching his long legs forward. "sorry, your reactions are so funny, though" he leans his chin onto his head, staring at his partner fondly.
"what are you reading?" he asks, resting his chin on his boyfriend's shoulder to look at the words on the book page. y/n hums, content with the feeling of gunwook on his shoulder, he looks back to the page he left off on.
"some psychological multiverse book thingy" he responds, not really knowing how to explain it, and gunwook chuckles at his explanation. "it talks about like, how everyone exists in many different universes and how each version of them bears a different fate".
gunwook blinks, tilting his head, then, he smiles. "that sounds interesting! why do you look bored y/n?"
"because.. it just sounds like bullshit".
"hey! you'd never know if many other universes existed anyway, not like you can jump through them or anything".
y/n snickers, amused by the way gunwook is so into this. "okay then, in another universe, are you still park gunwook my lovely boyfriend?"
gunwook's face flushes at y/n's words, and he pretends to cringe at y/n's flirting. "in every other universe that exists, i'll always be in your life".
y/n pauses, the words hit him in a spot that warms his heart, makes him want to giggle and kick his feet in a giddy way. "your so cheesy".
"you started it! dumbass!"
y/n shoves gunwook by his shoulder, a short giggle coming out of his lips. 
"in another universe, we might hate each other".
y/n gasps at gunwook's statement, making him laugh and almost fall back. "please, that would never happen".
maybe in another universe, we both grow old together.
Tumblr media
for every person, another version of them exists in a universe beyond, bearing a different fate..
the words ring through y/n's head as he pulls out his key, going through them and sticking them in the keyhole to unlock the front door. he sighs as he entered through the door, dropping his bag on the kitchen counter as he tries to blink away his tiredness.
y/n is hungry, but he's too tired to comprehend any of that. he slips off his uniform and puts on the first comfortable looking thing he could find, an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants. then, he shuffles towards the bed, immediately letting himself get wrapped in gunwook's arms.
he stirs for a moment, reaching out for y/n as he feels him crawl into bed with him. "hm.. hi" he mutters, resting his chin on y/n's head as the other yawns, burying his face in his neck.
"hi" he simply replies, his arms around gunwook's waist as he pulls the blanket over the two of them.
"how was work?"
"tiring, as always".
gunwook opens one of his eyes to stare at y/n in his peripheral vision, he finds the sight of him being tired cute, with his arms wrapped around him, he lets out a light giggle. "you look cute, y/n".
"as you've said before" he mutters, slowly removing his face from gunwook's neck to stare at him.
his gunwook, his husband, his everything.
"do you think.. that in another universe, we're both happy? and together?"
as soon as y/n asks that question, he buries his face in gunwook's neck, slowly beginning to drift off to sleep. gunwook stares, processing the question asked to him.
"in every other universe that exists, i'll always be in your life" gunwook states, running his fingers through y/n's soft hair, watching as his partner basks in the feeling.
y/n chuckles lightly, shaking his head. "your so cheesy".
"i'm just being honest.." gunwook starts. "in another universe, we might hate each other".
y/n lightly scoffs, tightening his hold around gunwook, as if afraid to let him go. "i would never let that happen" he says. "never".
maybe in another universe, we remain lifelong partners.
Tumblr media
for every person, another version of them exists in a universe beyond, bearing a different fate..
y/n sighs as he closed the box, handing the last order to the person in front of him. "here you go" he smiles tiredly, and the person takes the order in excitement, smiling brightly at him.
"thank you!"
"no problem, come again soon" he waves, and when the door finally closes, he lets out another sigh, this time of relief. the door closes for the final time that night, and y/n smiles to himself.
"ah! were done for the day!"
"oh it's been a long day.." y/n mutters, his head almost falling onto the counter because of how tired he is from working all day with no breaks.
gunwook giggles at his boyfriend, lifting his chin so that his head is now back up. "come on, the faster we close up and clean the place the faster we can go home".
he pats y/n's back and the other just chuckles, quickly jumping over the counter and flipping the sign to say 'closed'. he grabs the map and begins cleaning the floor, repeating the routine he does every single day.
gunwook hums as he begins organizing the stuff on the shelves. y/n is pretty distracted, though, he can't focus that much on cleaning the floors when a certain phrase continues running through his mind.
"gunwook?"
"yeah?"
"in another universe, do you think were still together?"
gunwook pauses at the question, continuing to sort the stuff on the shelves. he thinks hard for a moment before turning to his partner, whose now mopping the same spot on the floor waiting for his answer.
"in every other universe that exists, i'll always be in your life" gunwook states, smiling at the way y/n's face goes red and how he pauses what he's doing.
goddamnit park gunwook and his perfect smile.
y/n chuckles, looking back down at the floor. "your just trying to fluster me" he says, and gunwook shakes his head.
"in another universe we might hate each other".
the comment makes y/n raise an eyebrow, and he stares at gunwook for a specifically long time. "i would never let that happen, i could never hate you".
maybe in another universe, the two us achieve our dreams together.
Tumblr media
"so?"
y/n snaps out of his daze, looking at gunwook in front of him. "woah y/n, did i scare you?" he inquired with a raised eyebrow, and the other blinks.
"how long was i zoned out for?"
"a good fifteen minutes".
"oh— shit! um.." he tries his best to piece his words together, and gunwook stares for a moment before laughing, seemingly finding his display amusing. "aeri must be getting impatient, you should go now".
gunwook stops laughing, pausing for a moment as he suddenly makes eye contact with y/n, who freezes at his sudden stare. "come on y/n, don't be so boring, think of what we could be in all of those many different universes.."
"gunwook" y/n begins. "why did you even feel the need to bring this up?"
"well, because it reminds me of your mom!" he exclaims. "and you seem to be down, so i wanted to help lighten your mood".
y/n's gaze softens. oh god, gunwook, you and your attentiveness, if only this was a universe where your mine.
wait— what did y/n just think?
"well maybe in another universe" y/n begins. "my mom never told us those stories and you wouldn't currently be running late".
gunwook scoffs and snickers, lightly nudging y/n who giggles. "fine y/n, hopefully i do hate you in another universe".
"i would never let that happen!"
y/n winks at gunwook, who gasps. for a moment, they're in silence, before gunwook moves forward and presses a kiss on his cheek, making y/n freeze once again. "huh—"
"see you tomorrow y/n!" gunwook gives no explanation for his sudden display of affection and simply bids a goodbye to his best friend, making his way out of the shop, the bell above the door ringing as he leaves.
he stays frozen, processing the act of affection as his mind races, the words piecing together in a complete nonsensical way.
in another universe..
in another universe?
in another universe.
maybe, in another universe, that action was romantic and not platonic.
maybe, in another universe, gunwook could finally be his.
but unfortunately, this isn't the universe.

biscuits 😭
Literally just staying up all night crying about the end of an era and attempting to wrangle 7800 layers of feelings into a thing that can come out in English
But I've been thinking about the biscuits
Not just the croissants she's eating in the scene where we think they've slept together (I refuse to feel baited by that scene btw, even though it and Beard's entrance made me feel like I'd ascended to a new plane of reality; the scene happened for a reason; I'm too tired to go into it; my relationship to heterosexual ships is interesting enough as it is and I don't need to develop a fucking straightbaiting chip on my shoulder and walk around with that; also Ted/Rebecca's incredibly intentional yet incredibly unconsummated-within-the-three-season-arc connection is like every femslash ship I've ever loved; I've decided to just lean into T/R's story being unfinished and to treat the rom-com leave-cute reference as a fond homage to what could be; I'm allowed to be as generous as I want to be with this show and these writers; LMAO; crying my ass off [stilted Scorpio version]; but genuinely--I can be as generous as I want to be and I don't have to hate this if I don't want to hate this)
Anyway
I've been thinking not just about the croissants she's eating in the scene where we think they've slept together, and how those aren't biscuits, but also about how she doesn't tell him she'll miss the biscuits and he doesn't talk about the ritual and he never bakes her biscuits again as far as we can tell and he doesn't give her the recipe
And it hurts but I love it
[[[[ The biscuits are his dick (-- @boglady ) ]]]]
Because it's so intrinsic to who they are that they just don't talk about this ritual engrained in the last 2.5 years of their lives, I think...and sure, sometimes we see Ted reference the biscuits when he walks in with some...but no one notices. Ted's mom doesn't notice. Trent doesn't notice. Higgins notices, but he was involved in the early s1 biscuit taste-testing, and he's all-seeing in a lot of ways so it's different. Lord knows Sassy isn't getting a biscuit even if she's gotten to enjoy Ted's actual dick a few times. Keeley is close enough to notice, but she's suspiciously quiet about it. Beard has to come over and fix Ted's oven all the time, but we never see him comment.
So how perfect is it that in everything Rebecca has to process about Ted leaving, she almost becomes another person who has taken for granted that Ted performs this absolutely deranged gesture of love in baking her biscuits every single week and delivering them to her in a pink box every day...because that's really telling. She puts a lot of work into asking him to stay. She's feeling all kinds of desperate things. She isn't at all like the people who don't see what he's been doing for her; her reasons for never mentioning the biscuits again are nothing like the biscuit-invisibility everyone else experiences. She just can't or won't say anything because the biscuits are untouchable
And in the season 4 that will exist in my head but will almost certainly never be a reality, someday, when they see each other again, he makes her some biscuits and she's so angry she can't eat them
(And then things get better and she does, but not at first)
(This is why I had to take Wednesday off work)
(I'm fuckin' losing it)

Mildly amusing head cannons featuring Genji, Hanzo and kiriko (with some brief Gency and phariko at the end)
Since in being a ninja you have to be able to go about undetected, be able to blend in with your surroundings, even disguise yourself and be convincing when doing so. So in order to make sure the trio were skilled in this department in between their ninja training and the education the clan was providing they would get sent to acting and drama classes. They would go by fake names so no one was able to pick up on the fact they were shamatic clan members, and this was easier to do then it may seem as none of them were known to the public of even existing. As part of the clans thing was that they would keep all of the members born into the clan within the walls until they were 18, which once they're 18 they can leave on their own, the trio we're giving an exception to this occasionally but only if they were being escorted by a senior member of the clan or sojiro shimada himself, but even then they did not leave the grounds of hanamura, with only kiriko ever going into kanezeka.
And because of these classes the three are really good at acting and just slipping into roles when need be. Which means if it were for the fact Genji was a red-eyed rage powered murder ninja during black watch he would have been the perfect person to go undercover as the waiter instead of Cassidy, as part of their acting was being able to mimic accents which all three of them can do relatively well.
Genji never once mentioned this though, and it was only after kiriko joins OverWatch after Hanzo had already joined as well, and casually mentions how she finds old recordings of genji's performances on one of her old devices and everyone else is so confused at what she means. Kiriko then goes into excited annoying little sibling mode with "OH MY GOD YOU DON'T KNOW GENJI DID THIS?!?!" Ask Genji is slowly starting to panic with that panic rapidly picking up pace the further kiriko gets into explaining, even worse so for Genji because 90% of his performances where musicals or just him singing in general. This revelation is even more shocking to people like Cassidy and Angela who he had told that he was not good at singing, only to come to find the Genji has the voice of an angel or at least had.
Even with the cybernetics he still can sing really well but it's just so different from what he was used to before, that even with his acceptance of his body and improved mental state it still just doesn't fully sit right with him. He likes his voice now ,so it's not even like back in black watch when he only talked when absolutely necessary because he hated hearing his voice, or that he still hates the sound of his own voice, but rather anytime he goes to sing internally(to himself) he still pictures what he used to sound like when he was in his early twenties and not the raspier Metalalicy autotuned version of his voice now. With the only times anyone has heard Genji singing since being when he intentionally sings bad or over does it for comedic effect.
This then of course leads into kiriko playing a bunch of the recordings of genji's performances with the smuggiest look on her face as she stares Genji directly in the eyes the entire time they're playing with a facial expression only describable using >:3 . So in retaliation Genji leaves and comes back with the recordings of kirikos performances, and to continue on the trend of annoying little siblings also hanzos.
While kiriko did a mix of plays from around the world mainly more Western culture with the occasional Japanese one, with one particular picture Genji showed being kiriko in one of those 1950's pink poodle skirts complete with an ascot to match and her hair done up in a hairstyle screaming the 50's. Hanzo did primarily quite traditional Japanese performances, primary kabuki. So in the old photos from these performances, falkirko was wearing a range of different costumes, Hanzo was in full traditional attire, makeup ,masks everything.
And now for some Gency stuff,
Later on as they were going to bed (Genji literally walked into Angela's office and without a word just and just scooped her out of her desk and carried her to the bedrooms. she started off wiggling and kicking to trying to get him to drop her, but since she was so tired from sleeping for far too long she eventually caved and just started snuggling into him as he carried her. Also the ninja strength combined with the additional strength from being a cyborg kind of helped in Genji not letting go like he was unfazed the entire time, except for under his mask he was trying to hide the giggles building up which men under the mask he just had the biggest dorkiest grin but Angela couldn't see that currently) Angela turned to Genji and said how she couldn't sleep because she wasn't tired (a very very blatant lie), and with a smirk on her face asked if Genji could sing her a lullaby to help her sleep, with a sigh and a chuckle Genji agreed. So as they lay in bed cuddled into each other, Angela's head on genji's collarbone area, Genji quietly sang her one of the only lullabies he could remember off the top of his head which was one his father used to somewhat sing to him and Hanzo when they were very little. And between her already incredible exhaustion, the sweet quiet vocals, Genji running is hand through her hair, and the hum in reverberations from within genji's chest/cybernetic throat she passed out almost immediately.
Meanwhile, pharah was trying her absolute hardest to get her hands on that picture of kiriko, using all the compliments in the book and every tactic she could think of, well kirko is trying her best to resist these "torture methods" to get her to give her the picture.

♡ NSFW ALPHABET ♡ [S.B]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
━━━━ PARINGS ! sirius black x dom!reader
━━━━ WORDS ! 2.2k
━━━━ SYNOPSIS ! my take on sub!sirius but in the nsfw alphabet version.
━━━━ INCLUDES ! dom!reader, sub!sirius, degradation, praise kink, name-calling, pegging, sex toys, vaginal sex, masochist!sirius, bdsm, sadistic!reader, face slapping, restraints, descriptive sex, smut, fluff, hand job, oral (m & f receiving), mommy kink, after care, sirius is kinky, dom!sirius doesn't exist idc!, lots of talk about cum.
A/N: where is the sub!sirius fics at??!😥
sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes | cross posted on AO3 | MASTERLIST | REQUEST ME !
gif and photos are not mine
A = Aftercare (What he's like after sex)
Receiving- If the sex happened to be rough or particularly long, you'd quickly clean up any signs of your prior activities off his body. If you had sex involving restraints, you'd make sure to rub the part of his body that the rope previously was. You'd whisper praises while kissing his lower abdomen all the way up to his lips. His dark eyes looked at you with so much love that you could almost cry.
While Sirius liked being manhandled and treated roughly in bed, he also enjoyed being dotted on and cared for after sex. And vice versa.
You would bring Sirius fresh clothes to put on, cuddle up with his head on your lap while you run your fingers through his long ebony hair. He'd quietly moan as your fingers rubbed and itched at his scalp. He thanked you for caring for him.
Giving- Usually you'd be the one cleaning him up and dotting on him, but Sirius sometimes likes to switch things up. He liked to show you how much you meant to him by taking the responsibility from you having to clean him up.
Just as you'd do to him, he finds some spare clothes for you and helps you put them on. He asked you to stay on the bed as he went to the kitchen and to make you a sandwich with tea. As corny as it was, he'd sometimes cut the sandwich into a small heart. He's a real romantic at heart.
B = Body Part (Favorite body part)
Yours- While you loved every part of Sirius Black, his hands were definitely your favorite. So long and veiny, not to mention perfect for fingering your pussy and hitting all the right spots. He truly was a god at using his fingers to bring you to a forceful orgasm quickly- your past lovers couldn't compare.
If he happened to cum inside of you, you'd grab his finger and thrust it inside you before putting it in your mouth, happily sucking his essence off his long digit.
His- He's literally obsessed with your boobs. He loves to hold them in his hands, jiggling them while also tweaking your nipple till they were painfully hard. He didn't care about the size of them, he just loved touching your chest. Sometimes when you would be cuddling with Sirius, he'd grope your boob, not even noticing he was doing it. Almost using them as a stress ball or something to just play with- no sexual intentions in mind.
Sometimes he'd like to say it was your ass and thighs that had a chokehold on him, but your boobs ruled his mind completely. Though every part of you was Sirius' absolute favorite, insecurities and all.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum)
His- Since he loved your chest, what better place to cum than on your boobs? obviously not including inside of you.
When you sucked him off and slipped his pre-cum slick cock between your boobs, caging his dick, he'd cum almost instantly. Sirius had a habit of ejaculating in big loads so when he came, he came a bunch. At first, he'd be almost embarrassed at the large amount of cum he produced but eventually he learned to love it because you loved it.
He also loved your cum as well. When he would eat you out, he'd instantly lap at your cunt, hoping to get every drop of cum that came from your pussy. He definitely was not opposed to having you cum all over his face. He especially loved when you squirted on his face.
Yours- You loved the feeling of Sirius finally blowing his load inside of your cunt, copious amounts of cum coating your walls and filling you up full.
Filthy enough, you loved facials. You enjoyed when Sirius would shoot his sperm on your face, sometimes shooting cum on your eyelids.
You didn't care to deny it, but you were obsessed with your boyfriend's cum. Put it inside of you, on your chest, face, hell even hair. You loved it all.
D = Dirty Secret (A dirty secret of his)
Not really even a "dirty secret" but he loved to be pegged. Now, at first, he was a bit hesitant to ask you to shove a dildo up his ass and fuck him stupid but considering the things you two got up to, he was sure you wouldn't react horribly to the suggestion.
And thankfully enough you didn't. You admitted to him that you were also thinking of trying out some anal play on him, much to his surprise and desire. When you did end up using a dildo on him, he enjoyed it immensely. Seriously it was all he could think about after he got his insides turned out by you.
E = Experience (How experienced is he?)
Contrary to popular belief but Sirius was not that experienced. Yeah, he sucked a few people off and might have fingered some people, but you were the first to ever ride his dick. And he was thankful for that. He was happy you were the first to take his virginity. Even with the little partners he's had in the past, he still knows what he's doing when it comes to sex.
F = Favorite Position (What’s his favorite position?)
Cowgirl. Point blank. He loved to be able to look up at you, boobs hanging over him as his cock drove into your cunt at a rapid pace. He liked to gauge your reaction to the way he fucked you thoroughly, hitting your g-spot repeatedly. He also wanted you to look down at him and see what you were doing to him- the pleasure you were giving him.
He'd hold onto your hips, eyes looking down to the place where his dick was pushing into your pussy. His eyes roll back at the sight every time.
G = Goofy (Is he serious in bed?)
Sirius is a very humorous and funny guy so it's only right for him to be a little goofy in bed.
He'd sometimes try to make you giggle by making a joke at the way he moaned. He liked to make you laugh even with sex involved. But usually, he'd try to stay a bit mature in bed.
H = Hair (How well-groomed is he? does the carpet match the drapes?)
Sirius does have pubes, but he makes sure to trim them, so they don't interfere with sex.
He doesn't mind if you have pubic hair either. Your body, your choice.
I = Intimacy (How is he during the moment?)
Definitely loves to be intimate with you. Both non-sexual and sexual. He loves to make you happy and buy you gifts, though you don't care about materialistic stuff.
He's a big fan of cuddling and kissing and just being near you in general.
He's also a big romantic. Likes to take you places all over the world and ride with you on his motorcycle that you so graciously gifted to him on his birthday.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation Headcanon)
Before meeting you, he masturbated a lot. Like 5 times a day. But now that he has you, he doesn't have to heavily rely on jacking off. When he does do it now, all he could think about was you. In his opinion, having your body is way better than his hands.
K = Kink (One or more of his kinks)
Bondage- He liked having you tie him up and making him unable to do anything but take what you gave him.
Manhandling/Degradation- This isn't something new, but he loved to be manhandled, thrown around, then put in his place. At Hogwarts, nobody really checked his behavior, so he loved when you did it to him. He liked being called degrading names by you while you were rough with him.
Face Slapping- He liked to be slapped no matter how hard. Make his cheeks red while tears fall from his eyes at the blows to his pretty face. Completely ruin him.
Hair Pulling- He liked having you grip his hair while you rode him or and used him for your own pleasure. This kink basically goes hand in hand with his manhandling kink.
L = Location (Favorite place/places to have sex)
On the counter, shower, floor, in the laundry room, and on the couch. Those were just the few places he liked to have sex with you at. Any area in the house was his favorite places to pound you or get pounded by you.
M = Motivation (What turns him on?)
He gets turned on by you teasing him by calling him pet names or rubbing his thigh. He got really hot and bothered when you teased him in the company of his friends or just in public.
N = No (What things are off limits)
Doesn't like doming you or causing you any sort of pain. In the past he tried the dom role, but he never quite felt right about it. Doesn't like fucking with bodily fluids like piss or scat (puke) involved. He's definitely a super adventurous person when it came to sex but having a threesome was just off limits for him. He's very protective and can get jealous easily. Just picturing you fucking another gave him a near heart attack.
O = Oral (Does he prefer giving or receiving? Is he good at it?)
Sirius doesn't have a preference when it comes to who sucks who. He liked to be sucked off and liked sucking you. When he sucks your pussy, he makes sure to make it as enjoyable as possible for you. You do the same for him.
P = Pace (Is he fast and rough or slow and sensual?)
It honestly depends on how you want it. He does mostly like to go fast and rough, but he also liked to go slow. He liked to slowly thrust into you, paying attention to your body while he fucks you to a powerful eye rolling orgasm. The same can be applied for when he's fast and rough.
Q = Quickie (Does he like quickies? how often does he engage in them?)
Sirius loved a good quickie. If he had a Quidditch he had to get to, he'd ask you for a quickie before he left and for good luck. You and him can be really busy sometimes so quickies get the job done in most cases.
R = Risk (Is he open to experimenting?)
"Risk" is basically Sirius' middle name so of course he'd be open to most things. You two once fucked under the Quidditch stands so he's definitely not afraid to take a little risk.
S = Stamina (How long does he last? How many rounds can he go?)
Sirius can last for up to an hour, on his best day. It really depends on how overstimulated he is or how long he's been edged. He usually can go for between 3 to 5 rounds.
T = Toys (Does he like toys? Does he use them on you and/or himself?)
Sirius liked it more when you used toys on him than the other way around, though he wasn't opposed to the idea. He had a collection of muggle toys such as gags, vibrating cock rings, pocket pussies, flogger, dildos and more. He uses them on himself and with you using them on him.
He's favorite toy he liked you to use on him was a pocket pussy. He liked the filthy words you whispered to him while you moved the toy up and down his cock.
U = Unfair (How often does he tease you?)
He likes to tease you in many different ways. Sometimes while making out, he'll pull away from the kiss too quick. He liked as the more he teased you, the more the promise of punishment was on the line. He likes how rough you get each time he teases you.
V = Volume (Is he loud or quiet? What kind of sounds does he make?)
Sirius can be loud and whiny during sex. It depends on how much pleasure he's getting that'll make his voice louder.
W = Wild Card (A random headcanon for the character)
Sirius would really like to have children with you. Considering his rough upbringing, bringing a child into this world and treating them the way he wanted for himself when he was a child, is very important to him. Even if you don't get pregnant, adopting a child would still bring him joy.
X = X-Ray (what's under those clothes?)
His dick his 7 inches, long and a bit thick. He's a lean and "thin" guy but he still has slight muscles on his chest and arms.
Y = Yearning (How high or low is his sex drive?)
He has a very high sex drive. He feels like he needs to be inside of you or at least with you in some intimate way, most of the time. You also have a high sex drive (probably higher), you can keep up with him.
Z = Zzz (How quickly does he fall asleep after sex?)
He sometimes does tend to fall asleep quickly after sex. He tries to stay up to check on you but eventually falls asleep.

How about 4,5,8,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 and 20 for Akashi and 8, 11, and 15 for Momoi
Aww you spoil me(≧◡≦)
This is going to be a very very long post so Ill continue under the cut
AKASHI
4.If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
Ok Ive been thinking about this for a while now but The disastrous life of Saiki K. Here me out
Saiki would take one look at Akashi and be like hell no. Appears to be perfect like teruhashi?No Has another person inside their head?Double No Wears his school jacket like a cape?Triple No
Akashi would be way to extraordinary for Saiki and hes friends with Kokomi. I also think it would be really funny if Saiki used telapathy and heard Bokushi and Oreshi conversing in his head. He would be flabbergasted imo
I also want to see the showdown between Kokomi "gods favourite" Teruhashi and Akashi "I am absolute" seijuro. Akashi would definitely be the perfect pretty boy of the school. He would have a version of the Kokomins as well lmao.
People(aka Nendo) would mistake Akashi for Saiki and Saiki would be pissed lmfao.
Ok Im invested now, Ill continue talking about this AU in another post.
5.What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
Literally every MARINA song. But If I had to pick Id say "Oh no!"
This line from the song Things to do resonates too though.
"You are just a boy, you are no man and nobody you know will understand"
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
I already made a post compiling everything I hated about fanon akashi but Ill say it again.
People make him out to be some psycho who is obsessed with kuroko and hates everybody else. They give him no other personality other than scissors, tetsuya and being absolute as if he isnt so so much more than that.
Oreshi doesnt even exist in the heads of people who do this. But it has gotten much better over the years and most of the fandom has finally gotten a good grasp of hos character so thats nice.
13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?
This came at the perfect time cause Im actually working on a GoM as emoticons thingy(maybe a few other characters) so I might as well share my akashi emoticons. You can guess who is who.
𓈊 𓈊
∠🏀(●‿●)➃ ∠🏀(●_◉)➃
(They are supposed to be holding the basketball under their arms but its doesnt look like that but I spend 30 minutes on each of them so it doesnt even matter)(maybe I should have added a tea cup)(eh)
14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.
Either Dark Academia or Light Academia he fits both tbh. But I think he looks good in dark colors so dark academia.
15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
I have a lot of akashi ships(by that I mean a lot) I have to go with MayuAka, NijiAka, MibuAka, and MidoAka(I cant pick one Im sorry it fluctuates)
16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?
AkaFuri tbh I see them more as best friends(Furi giving Akashi a taste of normalacy)
17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?
Romantic AkaKuro. I just feel like their relationship is so much more than romance. You cant describe their relationship with the word romance. I see them more as queer platonic partners.
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
Again cant decide between Nijimura, Mayuzumi and Mibuchi so Ill explain my thoughts on all.
Nijimura was one of the only people who treated akashi as what he truly was, a child. He took him out for snacks, guided him actually cared for him you know all the reasons why niji is the best senpai. And Akashi really did look up to him and enjoyed being vice captain under him.
Reo is another person who treats Akashi(both of them) with so much kindness and love. Even If Mibuchi didnt(probably) like akashi romantically he would still care about him just as much. Like Akashi is his baby he loves him so much. And Akashi loves Reo just as much which is obvious given how he comforted him for the foul during the RakuSei match.
MayuAka is defo one of my favorite duos in series. They are the canon light and shadow duo for Rakuzan. Mayuzumi brings the much needed normalacy in Akashi's life like lending him his light novels(on multiple occasions might I add). But he also encouraged Akashi(in his own sarcastic way) even if he wasnt obligated to for how akashi treated him during the match. He forgives Akashi when he apologizes even though he could have rejected it. And Akashi likes Mayuzumi too. He frequently invites him to matches and outings(more like doesnt give him a chance to say no)(this was in cross colors btw) and quite literally tricked him into spending time with the other shadows(takao and kuroko). I think their relationship is very unexplored in the bigger sections of the fandom. Ok this got way too long Im sorry.
19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?
His relationship with his father leaves a lot to be desired. Now I dont think that masaomi is a bad person per say but he is a horrible father with or without meaning to. He blatantly neglets Akashi during his childhood and in his teenage years. He doesnt allow Akashi to mourn the death of his mother and only pushes him further. Akashi is forced to live up to his unreal expectations his entire life.
Now I dont think he doesnt love Akashi, I think that Masaomi is a man who loved his late wife but does not know how to give his son the love he needs and deserves partly because it was also how he was raised. Their relationship is overall pretty toxic and I can only hope that they talk through their issues when Akashi is older.
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Honestly? Either Momoi or Takao.
Momoi is an insanely intelligent girl and If this wasnt already said this enough they would overthrow the world. AkaMomo friendship wasnt shown in the show because they knew it would be too powerful.
Takao is a positive and funny person. He is optimistic and one of his greatest strenghts is being able to make any situation funny. I know this has been mentioned before but both Takao and Akashi want to improve on something the other has(being a point guard for takao and being approachable and funny for akashi)
I think they would bring out the best in eachother. They would also make Midorima's life miserable which is a bonus.
___________________________________________
MOMOI
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
There's nothing in the fandom that I particularly hate other than the people who hate her tbh. In all the fics Ive read she is pretty badass and cool.
But her haters istg. They either hate her cause they find her love for kuroko annoying or because she gets in the way of their gay ships or whatever(I absolutely despise when female characters are hated because they " get in the way of m/m ship")
They also dislike her because she body shamed riko but tbh her calling riko's boobs small is 100 times better than aomine kneeing his teammate in the gut dont you think🤨🤨
11. Would you date this character?
One word. Yes.
Momoi is such a sweet person overall, she is so nice and caring and kind. Yes her cooking sucks but I can cook well enough for the both of us. I know for a fact she would be a super affectionate girlfriend. Id be getting cuddles 24/7.
15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
AoMomo no competition. The childhood best friends to lovers. Momoi literally being Aomine's ideal girl, Momoi not realising that she likes Aomine because she liked kuroko. Aomine always protecting her no matter what. The two of them being throught thick and thin with eachother.
I just love their relatioship whether or not it is platonic or romantic.

I recently re-read Lost at Sea, the first truly-published work of Bryan Lee O’Malley (author of Scott Pilgrim), which is one of my favourite short-form comics. It's a re-read inspired by all my FLCL work; I commented before about the ways in which our main girl Raleigh is a distaff-Mamimi. I definitely still see it; she is what I am now referring to as a “Sadamoto Poet Girl”, those people who express their feelings in waves of metaphors they never truly clarify:
Tumblr media
It helps that Raleigh is a teenager; it makes sure that any risk she might have of becoming pretentious is buried by how pathetically lost she is. She also may not be rocking any of the emo drip of the time but she has full depression vibes where it counts:
Tumblr media
That mask you're wearing is bleeding black from overuse, frikkin hardcore Raleigh. This is definitely a teen angst book but I am highlighting the peaks here, a bunch of its silly chatter with her new roadtrip friends. She isn’t haughtily looking down on a world she knows is useless; she just has no clue, yet, how to make it useful. A key trait for the Sadamoto Poet Girl; their ambiguity of expression is how they cope with the ambiguity of how to relate to their own existence.
Which I think is what makes them work, both for me and in general; the actual ‘plot’ of Lost at Sea is that Raleigh has just meet up with her online older boyfriend for the first time, it went amazingly, and then he (probably) broke up with her and she has no clue how to deal. That is very concrete, and could be very basic - but by making the entirety of Raleigh’s emotional spectrum abstract and confused, the singular plot event becomes a drop in the ocean of her generalized ennui. This is a short story, and to make an impact it needs to be efficient in its expression. Abstraction is, ironically, very good at that; with no singular concrete meaning an abstract idea can hold a dozen simultaneously. Raleigh feels very real in a few short pages due to how much ground her in-her-head narration covers, without it being didactic.
Beyond being a proto-Mamami, though, what I was struck by was how similar she is to another Ash-favourite: Mara from Perfect Tides, a visual novel by webcomic artist turned game developer Meredith Gran (that, coincidentally, Bryan Lee O’Malley playtested as they are comic-artist friends). To start, how terminally online Raleigh is did not sink in for me the first time reading this, which is Mara’s defining trait in Perfect Tides; it's not as big in Lost at Sea, but her estrangement from her physical reality due to the superiority of the virtual is readily apparent. There are these two scenes in both stories that hit directly on that beat (“this place” being their writing forum in PT):
Tumblr media
They share other traits too - both of them, being women online in the 2000’s, are fiction writers, and being fiction writing alt girls they both live incredibly in their own heads. I have talked already about how Raleigh does that; Mara has this great way of having an idealized version of *everything* that could be that she constantly holds reality up to. There is this moment in PT where Mara smokes a cigarette for the first time, and is shocked to find it is not an effortless habit:
Tumblr media
The author in her playthrough cackles during this scene, and describes it as “some real foreshadowing”, and it absolutely is - Mara can never glimpse reality cleanly because her abstractions about reality constantly interfere. Raleigh is more self-aware, but equally cursed by her own hallucinations.
They also just cannot handle the few moments they break through their walls of awkwardness and socially “succeed”:
Tumblr media
Mara hilariously abandons the entirety of her emo identity and thinks she has finally Found Her Tribe until the next time some inanity triggers her spiraling self-doubt, while Raleigh is mature enough to know it's not gonna last; but they both experience the same assault from the idea of social acceptance. They are both downstream of their anxieties, if that makes sense - they build castles of rationalizations in their heads in order to defend against the emotions that beset them from elsewhere. Its why the “poet girl” vibes work - they are (generally desperate) attempts at self-understanding as much as self-expression.
I enjoy typologies, and all of this is me saying that within these characters I see a type, and I see causal linkages to the context of said type. The way a girl in the 2000’s would build an identity out of forum posts and metaphors, because society ~sucks~ but she can build an alternative online, in writing, in her head, a place for the alts and weirdos. But the very limitations that attracted those weirdos in the first place also snap back to prevent that new world from being a full substitute. Reality always wins. That identity exists today, for sure, but there is something of the time and place, of the era, that cohered this identity with a specificity I see in stories (or even people) that capture it. It's structural, and the structure has changed. In things like FLCL I see it, but you see the differences too - how the structures of Japan & the US (and Canada, Raleigh represent) intersect and how they don’t. My kind of gap moe, I guess.
Though, side note: something Raleigh and Mara do not share is that Raleigh, typical for an alt-indie 2000’s teen girl protagonist, is effortlessly pretty:
Tumblr media
I will credit the comic, ‘effortlessly’ is overselling it - another of the petty normalities that breaks through her emo shell is how she has favorite dresses and brought them to look hot for her boyfriend. Still, the 2000’s era reeks through here; audiences wanted hot leads, even indie audiences. Mara meanwhile is a full 2020’s girl in her squat, pallid normality; the relatability privileged over the aspirational. Her story may take place in the year 2000, but it's still written for today.

Things from Season 5 that are good and I am keeping to retroactively add to the earlier seasons;
Tritannus:
Hes such a baby girl to me
He'd be such a funny addition to s3. Like if Valtor gave Tritannus power over the mutant army so now Tritannus is distracting everyone by attacking them from the sea would that be fucked up or what?
I'm taking Nereus's design for him bc Nereus doesn't get to exist anymore bc he's useless. Tritannus deserves bubble gum bitch hair
All that would change is that Valtor is pulling a Eraklyon and Solaria on Andros because he's trying to hide the fact that it's him while he reamasses his power
The Ocean Gates:
This one actually makes the earlier seasons retroactively make more sense
How did Aisha get from Magix to Andros though the ocean? The Ocean Gates
These things absolutely exist in canon and if you disagree your wrong <3
Tbh I think each element deserves its own version of the Ocean Gates, but they do different things. So water is teleportation, but each other one would do something different, but I can't think of anything rn
The Selkies:
The way Pixies seem to exist is the same way the Selkies seem to exist sooo
I am absolutely boosting the powers of the Selkies and Pixies so their actually useful guardians for the things there protecting
They're just made of ambient magic XD
Krystal:
Thinking of her and Helia being childhood friends is so fucking funny, especially because if there wasn't a retcon she'd be like 5 years younger than him
"Helia can you babysit my daughter" "sure"
"Helia why did Krystal use her magic to throw someone into a table?" "Because she's a bad bitch now"
Helia is no longer allowed to babysit, this does not mean hes stopped being a bad influence, he simply has less chances to be one
Krystal being used to Helia levels of unhinged is so funny bc she's gonna go to Alfea and tackle someone
The Infinite Ocean
It's extremely cool to imagine around the Magic Dimension are these other dimensions of pure elemental constructs
Like like each dragon, aether, fire, air, water, and earth each made their own dimensions right?? But the middle of those dimensions all ended up touching, which created the perfect balanced dimension, the Magical Dimension
So the Infinite Ocean is a ACTUALLY endless body of water filled to the brink with life
Eventually the dimensions gained borders so each god could take a nap in their own home
I think it would be cool if you had to go to these different dimensions to gain the elemental forms. You get the water form in the water dimension, go figure
And it would also make them so much more....idk how to explain it, but in this version it would be a boon from the gods themselves from their own personal dimensions which makes them feel more exclusive and powerful
I don't imagine each dragon personally handing out the transformation, but you have to do a specific thing. Also this would be the natural home of the Selkies, because they're water magic. The pixies are Aether btw
Yah, your just wandering into one of the gods of the multiverse's backyard no big deal
Sirenix:
One of the elemental forms!
Them being inherently godly really adds to my whole "nymphix is a bad thing" vibe that I enjoy so much
The forms themselves don't cause that much difference to the person while detransformed, but when transformed there interpretation of whatever the element is on a new plane
I kinda want them to fuck with the user a bit so the Winx try to avoid getting them while the Trix run head long into them, giving a very self destruction for the sake of power vibe
Harmonix:
The name is cool and I'm so obsessed with making it better
The intentional shedding of massive power of the elemental forms to stay in harmony with the laws of the dimension instead of taking all that power for yourself and shedding your humanity for power that changes the fundamental way you interact with the world. Yada yada Nymphix faries can't detransform, yada yada they no longer can meaningfully enjoy or connect to human concepts, Ive said this stuff before
It's basically the good version of Nymphix that doesn't turn you into a cosmic horror ala Dr Manhattan style but is much weaker as a trade off
Macy
She's a literal babi
The Winx say magic returned to earth and more people are going to unlock magic bc of this but we never see that??? Macy is now a magi of flowers
She's one of the first discovered and Mitzi is big mad about it
Diaspro's Armor look:
It fucking ate
I'm making this one of her magic forms
She's gonna hang out with the boys and make pot shots at Sky with Riven it's going to be great
Riven will probably give her a pointy object much to everyone's dismay
Kelli:
The concept of her is so funny
"local lesbian takes it upon herself to teach local himbo how to play an instrument to impress his girlfriend"
You know she gets bitches
Remember how I said witches from CT that were captured by the Trix would be thankful that Riven drew the monsters aggro to let them escape? Kelli is the witch he made friends with from this
I imagine she's ultra chill and refuses to talk to any of the Winx lest she gets dragged into their bullshit. I'm sorry, but she will NOT be fighting a skeleton man. God bless
She's literally just hanging out
Pillar of Light Stuff:
It just fucks
Radius' life being tied to the second sun makes s3 SO MUCH JUICIER!! Cassandra leading Valtor to the second sun of Solaria is essentially signing Radius' death warrant and that's so fucking cool
On top of everything else Stella's father might die! Sucks to be Stella <3
It's weird that the second sun is this powerful light magic but it only affects Solaria. So now the sun works like the pillar of light!!!
No sun of Solaria, means light magic gets fucked up. Domino being attacked made fire magic unstable, but not completely fucked (wonder why, also this Bloom girl's magic is p weird). So all planet defining magical items affect the entire dimension
The Singing Whales:
You know how Solaria has the second sun of Solaria? And how s3 implied that every planet has a magical item that controls most of the magic on the planet??? Yeah!
Melody didn't have one but with these things it officially does!
Good for Melody
Omnia and Polita:
I NEED more characters to round out the nine nymphs of magix's and a mermaid nymph would fuck like hell
That but the opposite for Politea

Why All Might from My Hero Academia is a Great Character
1. Even though he's continuously referred to as "the symbol" of hope and peace throughout the series, he proves again and again that he's more than just a symbol. He actively embodies the characteristics he's said to symbolize, and he's never arrogant or big-headed about his position as Number One Hero. If anything, he's overly modest and doesn't care enough about his own well-being (as evidenced by all the Sir Nighteye stuff). A lot of times in stories, the big hero turns out to be a big jerk in private, but that's not the case with All Might. He's sincerely a good, kind person - a constant reminder and inspiration to the other characters. Good people do exist even in broken worlds.
2. He promotes the concept of heroism to even the worst heroes like Endeavor. Although he's aware of Endeavor's jealousy at the beginning, that doesn't stop him from encouraging the latter to become the kind of hero he should be independently from what kind of hero All Might is. All Might doesn't expect others to be exactly like him in order to be hero, and I like this philosophy he promotes of a person constantly bettering himself. This is clear through his interactions with Izuku and Katsuki. He believes in both of them equally, and he isn't encouraging Katsuki to be more like Izuku. Instead, he wants Katsuki to discover the better version of himself.
3. He's representation for people with disabilities that prove they can still have valor and compassion and dozens of other amazing qualities even in the absence of physical strength or fully-abled bodies. We always see All Might in his weakened state, but he's never viewed as weak even in his physically diminished form. We don't see other characters rushing to assist him or commenting negatively on his altered appearance (aside from villains); the biggest response from others is generally some surprised reactions to the blood out of his mouth. He also doesn't mope around with speeches about how he's lost everything constantly, which to me personally feels special and inspirational. It's a reminder to those with disabilities, even those who become disabled later in life, even those with fatal disabilities, that life can still be rich and heroic.
4. This one might be kind of silly, but I also really appreciate how All Might is not the stereotypical amazing-hero-but-doofus-or-pervert anime character trope. He's clearly intelligent and well-spoken, and if anything, there's an absence of sexual/romantic scenes featuring him. (I know All Might is not canon-confirmed to be asexual anywhere, but I have a good friend who is asexual and claims to feel a certain level of representation through All Might because he's the primary hero and never given a romantic interest/storyline).
5. In a lot of ways, he doesn't fit the traditional macho-masculine stereotype outside of his physical physique in his powered version. He's often seen crying, panicking, getting flustered, etc. I'd even go so far as to say he can be socially awkward sometimes, and I love this about his character. He's not the coolheaded, absolutely perfect hero who's always 100% calm in any given moment despite being known for "saving people with a smile on his face" guy.
If I had to give All Might a critique, I'd say it's that perhaps giving someone as young as Izuku One For All wasn't the greatest choice, but I'm going to overlook this as necessary for the plot line/catalyst for the whole story. We know OFA has to be passed down, Izuku was the best choice, and All Might probably felt he was running out of time due to his condition. Overall, I really love All Might because he defies a lot of the stereotypes associated with hero characters and in the end is just a sort of awkward, normal guy who just so happened to be extremely kind.
He was both rewarded immensely and punished severely for that kindness, and yet we never see him bent with regret. He achieved what he wanted to do with OFA. He saved people.

in memoriam by alice winn - a review
Tumblr media
(i completely forgot to write this after i finished even though i planned the whole thing out in my head so here’s like a shittier version of what i remember currently, copy pasted from my storygraph)
(also can i just say i love this cover it reminds me of like 2015 tumblr graphics)
5/5 stars, no notes. 
It has been a while, possibly years, since a book has dug its claws into my heart so quickly and resolutely. I'd been anticipating this for a while as someone who was obsessed with the author's fics, though the description had me a little wary because I'm not much of a war books person. But I needn't have worried - honestly Alice Winn could probably write about anything and I'd devour it because her writing style and her characters and their stories are always so exquisite no matter what setting they're in. I could've finished this in one sitting if I didn't force myself to put it down and attend to Real Life responsibilities. Needless to say, I cried, and was also shellshocked and possibly dead after I finished, from the sheer emotional journey I'd gone through in the past few hours. My absolute favourite thing is how strongly I emotionally connected with the characters, regardless of whether I related to them or not. I also loved how much depth they have and the journey they go on throughout the book. I loved that the characters or their relationships are so authentic in their imperfections (climbing the walls at the ending). I suspect a lot of this is due to the characteristic flair to Winn's writing that lends emotional vividness to everything she touches. The interweaving of unfiltered tragedy and dry humour, the perfect balance between literary enough for the prose to be interesting in itself without ever being too convoluted to interfere with smooth reading, just the overall VIBES... I want to crawl inside and live in it. Also, I loved the characters outside of Ellwood and Gaunt, and the friendships they had with each other. Winn gave them an impressive amount of depth within the relatively short space,  leaving me heartwarmed and devastated in equal measures. tldr if you're looking for a book to emotionally fill the holes in your soul and also kick you in the guts and also make you forget you exist then this is the book for you <3
