begging for a lo’ak x fem reader where theyre childhood best friends to lovers <3 there’s barely any lo’ak writings it’s so sad 😭
❥ a/n: bro YOURE SO RIGHT i wish there were more lo’ak fics he’s so underrated and ppl hate him for no reason like my boy did nth??
Tumblr media
Ever since you were 5, you and Lo'ak were inseparable. You went everywhere together, did everything together, hell you even had sleepovers together.
Lo'ak didn't have many friends, many of them made fun of him for being different, calling him the kid with the demon blood. So having a person that didn't pick on him and actually was friends with him was oddly surprising, and a little sad.
You two were best friends. As his best friend, he was very protective of you. When you'd go hunting, he'd tell you to be careful where you aim as he was scared you'd accidentally aim it in the air and have it fall on you, or when you'd be out after eclipse, he'd be very aware of his surroundings, keeping out for any dangerous creatures
It was safe to say you two were always together.
Another thing about him, was his issues. You knew how hard his father was on him. He already had to deal with the pressure of trying to live up to his perfect brother, and his dad wasn't making any easier by scolding and yelling at him for every breath he takes
He wasn't exactly enjoying any of it, and nobody understood him. Except you.
You were always there for him, and that's when he knew.
He was somewhere in the forest, hiding. He always liked to hide to get away from everything for a bit. But this time, he was hiding because he just had another fight with his dad, and left to get some air.
You knew exactly where to find him, and the minute you hugged him, he broke down.
And you didn't leave.
You didn't judge him, you didn't yell at him, you stayed. You stayed and comforted him, and supported him, and made sure he was okay
"I'm so sorry Lo'ak, your dad never sees the effort you put in when you try to live up to his expectations. But trust me, I see it. I see it everyday, I know you're trying, and I'm always gonna be here when you need me, it's okay, I'm here for you" You said as you held him tight, wiping his tears and playing with his hair
That's when he knew. That's when he knew he was never gonna find someone like you, he was never going to find someone that made him feel as safe as you do
He had fallen for you and didn't realize it till now.
Even with the next day, you came by and took him out to distract him from the fight, you made sure that he was smiling and laughing, forgetting all the pain
But one day, it was different. He was alone in the forest again, and of course you were quick to go comfort him
He was sitting on the ground, staring into nothing in silence. He suddenly heard footsteps and sighed
"Lo'ak?" You said in a soft voice, slowly walking towards him, "hey" you said as you pulled him in for a hug but he pushed you away
"Leave me alone" He said, turning away
You took in a deep breath, "I understand you're upset about your dad-" you said as you touched his shoulder but he pushed you away again
"Why are you even here?!" He yelled
"Wh-what?" You nervously said
"I don't need you to comfort me, I'm fine on my own"
"But Lo'ak-"
"You think I don't know about your sick game?" He said, the anger radiating off him
"What game-"
"I'm tired of you treating me like this! I'm tired of you treating me like this and acting like you don't realize what you're doing to me"
"What?"
"I don't need you! I don't need anyone. I'm sick of you playing me like I'm some stupid game! Leave me alone!" He yelled, startling you the louder he got, "You mean nothing to me. Do you understand? Nothing!"
He went quiet when he heard you sniffle, and looked into your eyes, seeing them glossy, his heart broke
You ran away, and he heard your cries as you did. He hurt you, he never saw you cry before, and he did now
and it was all because of him.
He didn't see you for days, he asked about you and they all said they haven't seen you leave your tent for a while now
He hated himself for acting the way he did, he didn't mean any of it.
One day, he saw you finally leaving your tent, your eyes were puffy and red, like you've been crying a lot, you had dark circles under your eyes like you haven't been sleeping much, he hated it, he hated the way he affected you
he followed you into the forest where you were picking some fruits he assumed your mother told you to get and took the chance
"y/n" he said and you froze, it was quiet, the sounds of the forest filling your ears, you were about to run until he pulled you back
he held your face as your eyes began to tear up, "please listen to me, y/n i swear you have to hear me out"
you stood there quietly, waiting for him to speak
"I didn't mean any of the words I said, I promise you. I was just--I was mad and I took it out on you"
"Yeah because I mean nothing to you--"
"No!" He yelled, "you mean everything to me. More than you can possibly imagine"
"Then why'd you say it!" You yelled back, and he wiped your tears
"Because I was scared!" He responded, "I was-you just...you make me feel things, things I've never felt before. And I hate it because I know I shouldn't be feeling like this, so I thought maybe if I hurt you, you'd leave and I wouldn't suffer anymore" He sighed
"Suffer what!"
"Suffer the pain of loving you!" He yelled, "I-I see you, y/n. And it scares me because-"
"Because you don't think I feel the same way?" You cut him off
He nodded
"God, you're such a stupid skxawng!" You smacked him, and he rubbed his arm in confusion, "of course I feel the same way! You-you're my best friend, Lo'ak. I see you too."
"You do?"
"Duh! I've been seeing you, dumbass!" you yelled, smacking him in the head
"Damn okay I get it jeez!" he said as he rubbed his head
You chuckled and pulled him in, kissing him on the lips, after you pulled away he had a smirk on his face
"Does this mean you're having my babies now?" He genuinely asked
"I'm leaving."
"WAIT"
this sucked okay the end hope u enjoyed love u my bbs

Okay, I'm back after all, I had to share that scene I had in my head.
So there was that post I reblogged and I couldn't help but turn it into swanqueen.
I just can't help seeing Emma and Regina making out in the kitchen. They hear the door open, and they panic because they are not out, not even to Henry.
Regina shoves Emma into the nearest hiding place, the pantry. Henry enters the kitchen and greats her mom. Small talks ensue.
Henry goes to the pantry to grab a snack. Regina can't find a excuse quickly enough to stop him. He opens the door and peeks inside.
"Hi Ma."
"Hi Henry."
He rummaged through the shelves for his favorite snack.
"You're not too cramped in here?" asks Henry.
"Nah. It's roomy. I think I gonna move in."
Henry beams, but it's not clear if it's about the idea of his birth mother living under the same roof or if it's because he finally found the right snack.
"Got lots of homework to do, gotta go. Bye Ma!"
"Bye Henry?"
Henry emerges of the pantry at last. Regina is still stock-still in the middle of the kitchen. She can't even warn her son against putting crumbs everywhere.
After a minute, Regina finally gains back the controle of her own body and goes into the pantry.
"So... He knows. He must know, right?"
"I thought he would be more surprised."
"Maybe we should still sit him down and talk to him about... Us."
"Yes, we should do that before I move in."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"You didn't hear? This pantry is roomy and confy, I think I'll be fine here."
"Why live in this shoe box of a pantry when I have a queen sized bed?"
"Is it an invitation, Madam Mayor?"
"The requirement for being a denizen of my bedroom is a kiss every morning. Starting now."
"I think I can manage that."
"Welcome home, Emma."
*
I think the same setting would be fun at the loft with Snow. Would Snow would be shell-shocked or would she act like it was a long time coming?
I like the idea of her going "Hi Regina, bye Regina!... Wait..."
The closet is such an underrated trope tbh.

a little httyd & rtte rant:
Tumblr media
[gif from google]
ok watching race to the edge for the 1 millionth time and i’m doing some thinking.
first of all:
this is still one of my favorite shows ever and it’s an underrated masterpiece—every story beat is so well crafted.
if you watched the httyd movies and asked yourself: ok, how did we get here? what happened in those 5 years? why are hiccup and astrid suddenly in a long-term relationship, who are gobber and stoic’s dragons, why is berk so different, why does he have a flaming sword and flight suit?
well—they made a show abt all of that.
secondly:
i like the way the main cast is portrayed in this show WAY more than in the movies.
i just did a marathon of the movies and toothless and hiccup are really the only two to have ample screen time—i get it, they’re the main characters that’s the point—but the beauty of rtte is that with six seasons they are able to feature everyone equally and do.
i love the relationship development between hiccup and astrid too ofc!!!!
the twins, snotlout, and fishlegs are fully fleshed out characters and i’m reveling in it. they all have such great chemistry with each other and it’s so fun to watch.
thirdly:
i think the villains in rtte are farrr more compelling than the movie villains.
vigo is one of the best tv villains ever imo and the twists and turns the show takes when he is in power is so entertaining and engaging (he's literally a cockroach and won't leave/die). i love and hate him and you never know if you can trust him or not!!!! GAH THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD
lastly:
Tumblr media
[gif from google]
holyyyy shit why isn’t heather in the movies?? her and dagur making a cameo would’ve astronomically altered my brain chemistry—mae whitman deserved to be in the movies. heather as a character is so interesting--as well as her and dagurs’s relationship (what a redemption arc holy shit). their character development is impeccable. + fishlegs and heather are so made for each other that deserved to have made it into at LEAST one movie (and let's be real her and astrid def were a thing at one point).
closing remarks:
WATCH THIS SHOW WATCH THIS SHOW!!!!!
tuff and ruff are slowly becoming my favorites tbh
i miss this show!! watching it as it came out was so fun.
hiccup and astrid have my heart
david tennent you are everywhere

prime empire thoughts yes please
1- the world of prime empire overall. what are your ideas about it?
I personally they should've played with the ideas of invisible walls or show us how far the game actually expended. idk maybe that's just me but like the world of prime empire in its whole looks overlooked jgsjgl like there's so much you can do.
I also wanted so bad someone from the outside to interfere with the coding or something as well idk WHY DID WE GET SO LITTLE WITH A SEASON AROUND VIDEO GAMES
2- what are you thoughts about scott? (also does he play a big role in cabinet man? (since you also requested asks about cabinet man))
Cuz I think he is greatly underrated in prime empire (but yknow maybe that's just me)
3- jay's skin. I want all your thoughts about jay's skin. Superstar Rockin Jay should've lasted for much longer or at least become a gag in the future (or yknow the fact that there was a cult created out of it)
anyway yeah I like this season a normal amount. Toootally fine with how they handled it.
Can't wait to read your thoughts about it all ( ouo)
GJHJSHFJKGHJKFDSGH HOOOOO BOY
Ideas about the world of Prime Empire as a whole
OHOHO I HAVE SOOOO MANY MY FRIEND
first of all, most if not all the NPCs have some degree of sentience. That's an idea that I think should've been driven more home by the show itself but Blazey and Okino are not the only characters in the game that have free will and the ability to think for themselves. I believe this so wholeheartedly.
Prime Empire was split into different areas that I wish were explored more (honestly a lot of this season boils down to "I wish it were explored more"): Terra Technica, Terra Karana, and Terra Domina. Terra Technica obviously is the biggest area, with the entry point for players entering the game, the Speedway Five-Billion, Scott's Garage and Jay's Club, and at least one other area for the Dance Competition mini-game. I also think this would be where most of the shops run by NPCs in the game would be.
I think most NPCs reside in this area. To really hammer home the fact that they are PEOPLE, not just assets in the game, I think they have homes within the city. Y'know how in Pokemon games (except ScarVi rip) you can just walk into people's houses and there's NPCs inside? Yea it's like that. Except the NPCs leave the houses and explore as well because they have their own thoughts and lives.
Maybe it's just cuz I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom non-stop and it's taken over my brain but I think about the open-worldness of Prime Empire in a similar manner. You can pretty much go anywhere and do anything within the world of Prime Empire. You can scale buildings (if you have the skills unlocked for it) and find secrets everywhere. And most things respawn at certain intervals so players have the chance to pick them up. Kind of like a MMOPRG sorta vibe
BUT there is a sort of thing like you mentioned above - invisible points that you just can't pass. Like the place is enclosed by some giant wall you can't see, and doesn't let you pass through. If you TRIED you would just be running in place basically, never actually getting anywhere. You can see things beyond where stuck at, but they're just for show - there's nothing actually there to interact with, it just gives the guise of depth.
Basically Prime Empire is meant to feel endless, expansive, big, real, until the reality crashes in that it definitely isn't. And sure most people wouldn't care and would have fun playing anyways, but for those who aren't interested after this illusion is broken for them, discover that hey. How do you get out of here again?
Oh right.
They can't.
And that's when people start kinda freaking out. Which I imagine then Jay or the League of Jays step in to try and calm them down and get them to relax and have fun anyways while Jay waits for the rest of the ninja to arrive.
2. Thoughts about Scott and his role in the Cabinet Man AU!
OHHH MAN I LOVE SCOTT DUDE YOU'RE RIGHT HE'S SO UNDERRATED i think he's a super fascinating character to consider in Prime Empire. Given that Unagami clearly had a plan to cube a bunch of players for his portal, he definitely would've come after Scott first. When did Scott figure this out? Did Scott and Unagami interact in-person before this? How was Scott able to evade Unagami long enough to set up his garage's stealth barrier? He's so so so interesting to me
He's clearly a kind person who wants to help people to some degree (sneaking Jay into the garage with him in the shorts, letting Jay run his club from his garage, inevitably sacrificing himself so the ninja can get away, etc.) but he's also very wary and unwilling to risk himself in a lot of ways. He and Jay clearly come to care about each other to some degree in canon, given Jay seems fairly protective of him
Tumblr media
and Scott trusts Jay enough to let him into his personal and secret place
LIKE I DON'T THINK THAT GETS TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH. NOT ONLY DID SCOTT AGREE TO HELP JAY HIDE OUT FROM UNAGAMI BUT HE LET HIM RUN AN ENTIRE CLUB OUT OF A SECRET TUNNEL CONNECTED TO HIS GARAGE
there was no reason for Scott to have done either of these things. Was it desperation because Jay's the first person Scott's seen in 30 years? Maybe. But clearly they care about each other to some degree
as for in the cabinet man AU! Jay considers Scott an older brother type figure. He, Scott, and Unagami actually got along well when Scott first got sucked into the game (the game is a lot newer than it is in the actual show given that Jay was 8 when he entered and there is no way he was in there for 30 years lmao, Jay would've been around 16 when Scott entered the game, Scott being 18 or 19, and Jay was around 21-22 when the ninja enter the picture). Unagami was excited to prove himself and give Scott a fun game experience, after all. But y'know, once Milton Dyer realized what happened.... things soured.
Jay and Scott were pretty much on the run together from then on. They care a lot about each other and Jay's extra devastated when Scott gets cubed. Once Jay and Scott leave the game, Scott takes time to rediscover life and reunite with family, but the two stay in close contact and see each other on a weekly basis for a while. Scott's still one of the first people Jay will reach out to if he needs help or advice with something not-ninja related
3. SUPERSTAR ROCKIN' JAY AAAAAAA
okay okay okay okay so obviously you and i met through skybound content so just in case you don't know yet
Tumblr media
i'm. a little. unhinged. about superstar rockin' jay
i have so many thoughts about jay's avatar ranging from "this is my Gender and i want to look like a fucking lego" to "WHY DIDN'T NINJAGO LET HIM KEEP ASPECTS OF THIS" to just white noise in my brain and in the center of that white noise is me rotating his minifigure in my mind
HE'S SO COOL!!! HE'S SO COOL AND I LOVE HIM AND HIS DESIGN IS INCREDIBLE LIKE OKAY okay okay okay okay blue and yellow are contrasting colors that mesh REALLY well together and I think the glamrock persona with stars and triangles and shit looks super incredible and it's just a really nice and appealing design and I think that Jay would have like a v-tuber avatar of SSR Jay after the game cuz like LOOK AT HIM. THIS IS PEAK HEGHHAGJFHKGJKJHKJFHGKJFG god im so normal
this is why people call me the ceo of superstar rockin' jay. that design is every aesthetic of mine mashed into one. i'm so obsessed with this design it consumes my core being.
Tumblr media
at the end of the day i too. am superstar rockin' jay
i lost track of the point of this question uhhhhhhhh OH YEA I WISH THEY'D LIKE. BRING IT UP MORE OFTEN LIKE JAY WAS AN IN-GAME IDOL!! HE WAS A PERFORMER!! DID HE HAVE FANS??? IS THERE SUPERSTAR ROCKIN' JAY MERCH???????? he should exist outside of prime empire screams
anyways this was a lot of words i love prime empire i love prime empire so much it's so good and more people need to talk about it please please lpease

Why is it Jake gyllenhaal doesn’t get a lot of attention on here? Like I’ll sit on your page all day for fics of his
I don't mean to be dramatic, but I think he's one of the most underrated people out there and the world hasn't been fair to him.
Like, professionally... he's an actor everyone recognizes as extremely, insanely talented. You see his face everywhere when we talk about iconic movies/characters. He isn't getting awards from it, though.
People don't talk enough about how brave of him was to be in Brokeback Mountain in 2005. Nowadays every actor is getting praised for playing a gay character, but back in 2005 it could ruin your career, cause "you would never be seen as manly again" so who would hire you afterwards? Well, him and Heath showed up to the interviews to be disgustingly attacked for it, and they never allowed anyone to make fun of it and call it less than a love story. I can't imagine how hard it was for him to lose Heath right after all they've been through together.
And after all the attacks he got from it, now he has to keep his comments limited on social media because a bunch of brainwashed white girls will give him and his loved ones hell because of a 3 months relationship that happened over a decade ago (absolutely nothing against Taylor, what I don't understand is people going to war for her, when she doesn't need that).
It is cool and trendy to hate him now and I believe he lost opportunities because of it, like, fuck your talent, we're not gonna make money out of you now, we're gonna be canceled.
And to focus on your question, I truly believe this happens to creators/writers too. Back when Spiderman far from home came out, this place was crowded... but nowadays we just don't get as many notes and I believe some people are afraid of being attacked for being a Jake stan, like I've seen it happen A LOT on tiktok.
And all of this happening to someone who has absolutely ZERO polemics on his name, he's been on the spotlight since he was a kid and he's never been accused of being anything but sweet, funny, kind and humble.
So yeah, there's Hollywood for you, I guess.

Font anon again! Thanks for indulging me. Yes it is the fic where SF!Papyrus is Palatino. It’s one of my favs. I agree with Serif as a last name because it’s funny.
I’m going mostly off vibes. You completely nailed what I was going for with UF! Papyrus (you are definitely the right person to brainstorm with and have great insight.) My original font search prioritized fonts people complained about, sticking to the theme of Comic Sans and Papyrus being “annoying fonts.” If you can think of any other ones I’m down to hear them.
Here is my list of names:
Courier
Helvetica
Trajan
Bradley Hand
Gentona, Avenir
Calibri
Verveine
Corsiva
Frutiger
Bodoni
Vivaldi
Zapfino
Rockwell
Amadeus
Clarendon
Arvo
Avenir
Casion
Cooper
Didot
Carrington
Anviers
Fontin
Fertigo
Harrington
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*waves hand at you* nOOOOO WORRIESSS and thank you for the clarification ;D!! I'm always here for indulgence owu!! And thank you! I'm glad you like my take on things haha! (ANNOYING FONTS LETS GO!!!!)
This is a fantastic list :o!! I pulled up all the fonts in your list in another window for maximum ponderance lol.
I stuck my thoughts under the cut because as usual it got long (and for some of them I'm spitballing more than anything) but hopefully it's of some help ^^!
Swap!Papyrus: Hands down (haha), he suits Bradley Hand visually- the font is like Papyrus (font) but more loose and scribbled- it has more curves and thus has a more laidback kind of vibe, which is why I think it'd suit him... but also I'm losing my mind at the idea of calling him Bradley (derogatory) (/lh).
(I'm also biased though. I used to use this font for writing when I was younger LMAO. You know how people say to write with Comic Sans? I did that with Bradley Hand.)
Swap!Sans: I reckon he'd fit Cooper.
Round, bold, a little bit 'childish' when compared to other fonts, but infinitely more put together than Comic Sans. It also makes me think about comics like Archie or Garfield, which used similar rounded fonts for their titles! Cooper (font) feels so... cartoony to me, y'know? Also it makes me think of Sly Cooper just namewise lmaooooo
Underfell!Sans: Ok. OK. Listen I don't think this font suits him BUT!!! Fontin would be REALLY FUNNY just purely because I think he'd have the time of his life making jokes about "Fonting". Like: "ey! i'm fontin' here!" type of jokes which would get old so so so quickly. Do you see my vision.
If Carrington was less... curly-cursive I'd say it'd suit him purely for the potential visual association with like. the typeface you might see at a stereotypical tattoo parlour or something. IDK it makes me think about tattoos and motorcycles.
SAYING ALL THAT THOUGH: I think he could suit Rockwell! It makes me think of titles and bold headers, also cowboy westerns and Very Masculine and Cool products lol. Except... Rockwell is usually used with Uppercase, Title case or Sentence case. Purely lowercase Rockwell feels inherently cursed to me. (Like truly, what are you doing if you're using Rockwell in lowercase. That's committing a violence.)
Swapfell!Papyrus: Weirdly enough, I reckon I could see him with Corsiva or Fertigo? (Which... looks strikingly similar to Fontin. Huh!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Fertigo on the LEFT, Fontin on the RIGHT)
IMO, Fertigo feels more laidback due to the curling tips (which still come to sharp points). The way that the ends of "strokes" get flicked gives it a sort of lazier vibe.
BUT the font choice here also depends on your interpretation of SF!Pap!!
If you want to have a font that's underrated and everywhere?? GO Calibri. It's used as the default font for Microsoft, and is designed to be very easy to read. This is particularly befitting of the interpretations of SF!Pap where he's well versed in computers/electronics and/or doing spywork. His presence is not actively noticed, but he's always there! Alternatively, if you wanted to name him after a serif'd font, similar to Calibri, one of the fonts from your list, Caslon, has a somewhat ubiquitous presence, and also feels a little rougher/crunchier than stuff like Calibri or Fertigo.
Other notes:
I know you already decided on a name for him, but Trajan is also a really good alternative option for UF!Papyrus imo. Similar Roman-Commander vibes except even more explicit LMAO. Plus, it's a solely uppercase font, which is even more fitting.
Didot... if you swap the 'i' for a 'd' and vice versa, you get 'idiot' which is simply ripe for the teasing, but I don't think it fits any of the skeletons lol.
I would have suggested Arial as an option due to it's former prevalence, but honestly that name (+Verdana) have like… cemented themselves in my brain as 'fan-made skeleton' fonts ajbhjsmhjmdh (no shade whatsoever to anyone who uses them ofc, but MAN are they used a LOT.)

hello! i’ve seen this going around and was wondering if you can cast your mutuals as bob characters? like which mutuals remind you of which characters? thank you in advance 😄💚
I have waited so long to get this request. Let’s go people!
Okay so I have to start with my best friend, the tumblr love of my life @georgieluz. Julian is honestly my favourite person ever and how could he be anyone other than George Luz. He brings such joy to every conversation we have together and I really think George and him would get along so well.
Onto my next mutual @merriell-allesandro-shelton. You definitely give me Carwood Lipton vibes. I feel like you are always trying to help and support everyone in the fandom and you really don’t get enough appreciation for it (just like Lipton). You’re so kind and caring and you are definitely getting a promotion to Lieutenant.
Next is @mads-weasley. You definitely give me Lewis Nixon vibes (not that I’m saying you’re an alcoholic) but I just feel like you are definitely the Nixon to my Winters. You’re so supportive and caring. I love you Mads.
@ronsparky. We haven’t known each other that long but I feel like you’re a lot like Skip Muck. I don’t think I ever truly appreciated Skip when I first watch BoB but he really grew on me in episode 6 and 7 and then he was gone. (Obviously when I rewatch it I notice him a lot more now.) Basically what I’m trying to say is I think you’re a really great person and I’d love to know you better so please feel free to drop me a message anytime. Also you have an awesome name (totally not biased as it’s the same as mine 😂)
@malarkgirlypop come on the clue is in the username. You my friend are definitely like Donald Malarkey. You’re super supportive and friendly which is so lovely and I always see you popping up with likes and comments on my blog which is hugely appreciated.
@mutantmanifesto I’m not sure why but I just think of Babe Heffron for you. We’ve never met but I just feel like you’re a really smiley and supportive person. I just feel like you bring joy everywhere you go.
@blvestxr how could I pick anyone other than Alton Moore. I feel like we’ve had some great conversations in comments. You’re such a friendly person and I feel like you could 100% take on Spiers. I’m rooting for you.
@liptonsbabe I’m getting Buck Compton vibes here. I feel like you’re pretty carefree and enthusiastic. I love seeing you when you pop up on my blog. I also feel like you like a good laugh and your BoB cursed book titles are killing me right now.
@iceman-kazansky I was really torn with this one but I’m going with Donald Hoobler. I’m not entirely sure why he popped into my head but I feel like you’re a really good supportive friend and we’d have a good laugh together. You’re also seem bubbly and chatty which is why I think I settled on Hoobler in the end.
@sweetxvanixlla so I was tossing around ideas for you. I haven’t known you that long so I was trying to go through Easy Company and think of the best fit. I’m settling on Chuck Grant. I just feel like you’re so cool and calm but also underrated in the fandom because your moodboards are so beautiful.
Turns out I have way more BoB mutuals than I realised. I love you guys all so much. I hope everyone is happy with who I’ve chosen, I tired really hard to pair people who have similar traits etc. 💕 And feel free to let me know which BoB character you think I’m like 😊

top 5 ai the somnium files characters??
Tumblr media
ohoho, well lemme tell ya with great pleasure! :D
(disclaimer, I've only played through the first game, so I will only be including characters from that game and not the sequel)
5. Boss
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's in her name, she gaslights, gatekeeps, girlbosses and looks good doing it! Jokes aside though, I love how she is simultaneously secretly and subtly caring while also just. blunt and unapologetic about overworking her subordinates or unashamed to crack dirty innuendos. She has all sorts of random trinkets and junk all over her office, from boy band posters to christmas trees to party decorations. Shady but with a heart of gold. She's not quite as deep a spoiler angst rabbit hole character as some others, but she's a joy every time she's on screen, ya love to see her <3
4. Hitomi
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is my one underrated underdog pick, but ourgh, loving and supportive single mothers doing their best while keeping their dark tragic backstories private from their kids, my beloved <3 I could delve into detail just how magnificent her backstory is, from the circumstances of her being a mother to her tragic past love life, and how being a stereotypical normal boring sweet schoolteacher mother figure, she's been unfortunately involved in the most dangerous secrets but just trying to live her best life with her daughter despite it. Hitomi my beloved, seemingly simple characters with hidden depth, my beloved
3. Aiba
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She is soooo silly and also maybe the only sane person here, or at least sane in the way an AI personality would be. She is Date's AI assistant and also his prosthetic eye, and the right gif is the form she takes when she's outside of his eyesocket. The left gif is her digital avatar form. She's constantly judging Date's thoughts and actions, she gets excited about bugs, she helps Date be a better parent (more on that later), she does Hacker Skillz on a whim, she might be capable of actual love even as an AI! Truly a worthy pfp :3

You've heard of Love to Hate, but this guy will force you to learn what Hate to Love means. Cringy horny porn-addict failure of a person, how dare you be an amazing character with a super sad spoiler backstory and amazing angst going on. I need to push him down some stairs right now. He has a fantastic coworker good cop/bad cop dynamic going on with Aiba his eyball assistant (he's mysteriously missing an eye and Aiba is his replacement), and he's a grumpy but genuinely trying temporary guardian for a bratty middle schooler who holds him in contempt and pretends to hate him (i.e. we're talking wet cat & wet cat found family dynamics >:)
1. Mizuki
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love this child. I would do anything for this child. I would do anything to be this child. Snarky ass middle schooler. Human weapon of mass destruction because why not. Had a hard home life with her abusive or neglectful parents and is now a tsundere wet cat found family roommate with Date whom she bullies like a sibling but is still in denial about who her real family are. She carries grenades and such in her backpack even to school and she carries her favorite lead pipe with her everywhere. (spoilers) she has seen both of her parents' dead bodies and in some timelines her best friends' and favorite teacher's as well...
Ough the character depth and growth and angst and silliness of this character, the sheer badassery, her iconic-ness--oh yeah, she canonically says in game says that she respects and is inspired the LGBT community (based). You just can't get more S-tier than Mizuki. Might be favorite character of all time. I'm so excited when I eventually play the sequel because she's the protagonist in it! :D

I can’t shut up about Conscience of the King
Well hey it’s my blog I’m allowed to obsess over this.
Okay so I need to address the Kirk vs Kodos scene cuz it is not only extremely underrated, it gives us some incite into Kodos’ fascism and why I believe Kirk was on the execution list.
So let me paint a picture. It’s been 20 years since the Tarsus IV massacre and Kirk had done fairly well for himself. He’s the captain of the enterprise after all, people owe him favors everywhere, and (as far as I’m currently aware since I’m still watching s1) he’s seen as an asset to starfleet. Then over the course of an investigation, Kirk meets Kodos the executioner face to face, and Kodos calls Kirk inhuman.
“Here you stand, the perfect symbol of our technical society. Mechanized, electronisized, and not very human. You’ve done away with humanity, the striving of man to achieve greatness through his own resources.”
Tumblr media
Kodos sees Kirk as someone who only got where he is today with the help of technology. Kirk is the symbol of everything Kodos hates about the universe. Basically what fascists say when fighting against stuff like affirmative action and social welfare programs. Kodos is arguing for a false meritocracy.
Edit: The fact that Kodos’ theater troop is steeped in old plays is also another tell for his fascism. The emphasis on so called tradition is key, and Kirk is not a traditional captain by any stretch.
So yeah, if Kodos sees the decorated captain of the enterprise like this, the barely a teenager Kirk was definitely on the execution list 20 years ago.
Kodos’ description of greatness here is also key. Because later on when he describes the massacre of the colonists, he says this,
“If the supply ships hadn’t come earlier than expected, this Kodos of yours might have gone down in history as a great hero!”
Tumblr media
Kodos wasn’t just trying to save the colony. He was trying to achieve greatness as governor. He wanted a legacy, to go down in history for this. And he did, but not in the way he wanted. Just like the Nazis and other fascists. This also proves how much of a hypocrite he was. After all, what’s the difference between Kirk using the tools at his disposal as captain and Kodos using the resources at his disposal as governor? And Kodos even admits this, though instead refers to his acting as his tools. Kodos knows on some level that he’s lost, which is why he tries to goad Kirk into killing him.
“If you’re so sure I’m Kodos, why not kill me now?! Let bloody vengeance take its final course! See what difference it makes to this universe of yours.”
Tumblr media
Kodos isn’t just being a dramatic actor here. He even later admits he doesn’t treasure his own life. I believe he wants Kirk to kill him now because Kirk does not have definitive proof that he is Kodos yet. So Kodos wants to die as Karidian, a nothing actor that barely made an impact on the universe at large. This is also why in the end Kodos’ priority is his daughter and why her murdering the survivors of his crimes breaks him. She was going to be his legacy, carrying on the Karidian name performing classical plays of old across the galaxy. But she couldn’t escape her father’s past. In fact, she used it as justification to murder 7 innocent people.
In conclusion this episode has many many layers.

ommmmmmmmg queen 🫶 hoping obviously that you’re okay
just wanted to tell you that your imagine with jamie being a dad is amazing and so cutieeeee
we definitely neeeeeeeds more more of daddy jamie imagines from you !!!! i dont know how you write so great it’s actually insane and amazing 🤩 just wanted to tell you that because you deserve an applause
just saw what jamie posts on twitter about him being sober maybe you could write something with his sobering being encouraged by his children and him talking about that on an interview
or like you could do one where he responds to 75 questions from vogue in his house while he holds one of his twins who fell asleep in his arm ( i just saw cardi b one when she’s holding kulture and it was hella cute that’s why i was inspired ) and his house with reader is just so bohemian and colourful and there are so many toys ! we love a messy organized/clean house not like those celebrity museum 😭
thank u take care of yourself and your happiness
Hi my love!! This was so sweet omg!! I absolutely loved the idea of the vogue questions because I love watching them!! I had a perfect vision of what it would be like, I hope you like it, love! <33
73 Questions with Jamie Campbell Bower
Tumblr media
warnings: none!
note: this was so cute i loved writing this!! and i'll 100% be giving you all more dad jamie content!! <3
Knock! Knock! Knock! 
“Jamie Campbell Bower,”
“Hello! I’ve just got this one to sleep, I do apologise!” Says Jamie, motioning to the infant who was asleep on his shoulder.
“Ah! Is that Charlie?”
“Yes it is, come in! Sorry about the mess, me and y/n have just been so busy. We’ve just got back from a trip to France and the twins have had so much energy it’s unreal!” Jamie says, trying his best to keep his voice down. 
“Well I’m here to ask you 73 questions, should we get started?”
“Yes, let’s do this!” Jamie grins. 
If the camera was to show the entire living room, everyone would’ve seen piles of toys and boxes and paper and pencils everywhere! It was very clear that there were children living here, it made Jamie feel a bit embarrassed for not having tidied up before, but his plan was just to stay in one corner of this room and then move to the kitchen. 
The room was open, and other than all the toys, it was beautifully decorated. There were hanging plants, a couple paintings hanging on the wall and some framed photos on top of the fireplace which appeared to be hidden. The khaki sofa had cushions scattered over it and fairy lights hung up on the wall above it, and a little mark which made it look like one of the kids had drawn on the wall. 
“So your house looks amazing! How do you work around it looking stylish and still child-friendly?” 
“Uhh… We don’t!” Jamie laughed, “the twins have sort of taken over, we’ve somehow replaced our cactus with a dollhouse and we’ve hid the fireplace with the sofa!” 
“Well, it still looks astonishing! How’s fatherhood been treating you?” 
“It’s great, honestly. I learn new things everyday, it’s made me learn more about myself as a person and I’ve become a lot more grateful towards my parents.”
“What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned from having children?” 
“The biggest lesson I’ve learnt… is to expect the unexpected!”
“What’s the most unexpected thing that has happened with the twins?” 
“I can’t think of one from the top of my head! There’s been so many, but y’know, they’ve all been good things! Nothing terrible!” Jamie said with a smile, sitting down on the sofa, Charlie still asleep as he laid him down. 
“What’s the most underrated part of parenthood?” 
“Umm, I’d say the most underrated part of parenthood… is that you always have someone to play with, or hangout with. I’m never lonely anymore!”
As another question was being asked, Belle came running in from the kitchen, she reached her arms out for Jamie to pick her up so she could sit next to him. 
“And this is Belle?” 
“Yes, this is! Belle, do you want to say hello?”
“Hello!” The child babbles, before becoming shy and hiding her face in Jamie’s arm. 
“Darling, why don’t we go and find mummy? I’ve got something really important to do, I promise I’ll play after, okay?”
She nods her head, Jamie apologises to the camera and he carries his daughter out to the garden, where y/n was hanging laundry out. 
“Okay," Jamie sighs as he sits back down, "should we start over?”

Just watched 91 days. Before I swim into the whole contemplating debate on whether Angelo is alive or not, the anime is so underrated. Spoilers ahead.
I wasn't too interested in the first episode but then TK played the opening song (Signal) and chills went down. If there's anything I've learnt, his music takes everything up a notch. Second episode onwards, the story builds up. It's honestly amazing how Angelo manipulates the course of events or rather has the foresight to realise the cause and effect of certain actions.
Should he be called Angelo Lagusa or Avilio Bruno? I like how the anime doesn't actually focus on him and his screen time doesn't take up half the series. It's well paced and built from different angles giving it a more realistic feel. At some point, it became obvious that Ganzo was the one who sent the letter but I wish we found out more about his intentions because it seemed like it was written off too quickly. The character development was beautiful. Corteo's death was so sad honestly. He was a true brother to Angelo and he really did not deserve that ending. At some point, Angelo probably knew he'd have to sacrifice Corteo but pulling the trigger on him himself was agonizing. The trust between Nero and Avilio was so impaired that it was strong. No matter what, they both respected each other till the end. Barbero's suspicions had been true all along. His personality was the most relatable thanks to my trust issues. At this point, even though there may not be any ill intentions, I cannot stop second guessing people's motives. It may literally be an innocent question but I find myself watching my words and being careful about what information I'm letting on. My lovely family is to thank for most of that.
It does bring about the question "What is family", doesn't it? Nero, Frate, Fio and Vincent all fought for the sake of the family and to save it. But what were they trying to save? Fio's intentions seemed to be the purest but what about the others? Frate and Nero were ready to kill each other to save said family when they were literally breaking exactly that. Isn't it business and the name at some point? I'm a big believer in friends being as important as family or more. So, Vincent's betrayal didn't set well with me. I don't mean to judge or offer any other alternatives. They all tried to do what seemed most logical to them to save or accomplish what was most important to them. In pursuit of their goal, they lost sight of what they had. And if there wasn't any plot, we wouldn't have such a good anime. It makes you introspect though.
"You just live." An offhand comment but it's true. An old anime character (I can't seem to remember which one) said, "I live to find out why I live." Don't write yourself off but the lack of purpose in life can be displaced with the action of living. It's what I want to tell myself.
I won't try to solve the mystery of Angelo's death because the conspiracy theories everywhere. The problem is I don't know what I want. Here you see a boy who has struggled with the guilt of escaping and surviving. He's burdened with the task of living and he's completed his revenge so on one hand, I want his suffering to end but on the othe hand, I want him to live. I want to watch as he starts anew leaving the past and pain behind but with Corteo's death, it seems so idealistic. Although Nero's words seem to give him some relief, it's unlikely that he actually lives. I want him to live but I don't want him to suffer. Such a selfish wish.
I conclude. I didn't even know something like The Prohibition existed in America. A piece of history. Learnt something new.

Hello, can I ask from this ask game :
https://www.tumblr.com/threecheersforinking/677824836625694720/anime-ask-game?source=share
For anime/manga : Sk8, Demon Slayer, BNHA, and Jujutsu Kaisen.
Thanks 🌻
I guess so, Anon! 😆
**
SK8 THE INFINITY 🛹
Favorite Character: Reki, hands down it's Reki. He's just such a great character to me, honestly a little bit of relatable (both as someone who isn't sure of themselves and having siblings).
Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: The beach episode is definitely my favorite episode. But I gotta say the epilogue scene he has with his family is one of my favorite scenes because it's so damn cute!
Favorite Ship/Pairing: Reki/Langa is my favorite! They're just so cute!
Character I Think is Underrated: Oka is one, Sketchy is another. But a really underrated character? Miki. She's the green haired woman seen in the first episode. Made a post about how she should be a more major SK8 character. I like her design very much and I just think she should be a bigger part of the cast as a skater.
Character I Think is Overrated: Ooh, it's like most of the main cast... Reki is definitely one, Langa is one, too... Shadow is more underrated though... but it's definitely Joe and Cherry!
Something I Love About the Show/Movie: What mostly drawn me in to the show was the vibrant colors. I love colors and the aesthetic of the show is a bonus to me. Also, I love that Reki isn't like some big shot protagonist where he can outskate everyone and anybody. Really like it took an opposite approach, and hone in that he was the more creative type.
**
DEMON SLAYER 🗡
Favorite Character: Tanjiro! He is just so precious, kind and badass! (And it will always gets me how he got that hard ass forehead he got from his mom.)
Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Just any time he interacts with Nezuko will always touch my heart. One scene I adore a lot is from the Swordsmith Village arc when Tanjiro braids her hair to mimic Mitsuri's style. It was just too cute. Ooh, but overall my favorite arc so far has to be the Entertainment District arc. Gyutaro and Daki actually became my favorite antagonists because of that arc. And the opening for that arc in the anime is one of my favorite songs.
Favorite Ship/Pairing: I actually had to stop and think for this one. "Do I have a favorite ship here?" Okay, I gotta admit Tengen with his wives are cute. (Watching the anime in dub though becomes something else when you also watch JJK in dub and realize Sukuna and Uraume are married here.)
Character I Think is Underrated: Hmm... I wanna say Mitsuri for this one. Every since the Swordsmith Village arc came out, everywhere I turn there's some video on how Muichiro put in work in his fight scenes, and he did. I applaud that precious little misty guy. But I don't see a lot or even a little praise for Mitsuri and she was whipping that sword!! If anything, that is very impressive that she has a sword like that!!
Character I Think is Overrated: Ah... I gotta say it's tie between Uzui and Rengoku. But before anyone gets on my ass, I do adore both characters very much. (Remember seeing a post that had the absolute nerve to put Rengoku on the list of "frauds".)
Something I Love About the Show/Movie: That anime definitely deserved the animation award. But for me, it's definitely the character designs. The art style makes those designs pop and a lot of the way the characters look pleases me. Like the demons? They don't look like your average demons. One of the reasons why Tanjiro is my favorite is because of his character design.
**
MY HERO ACADEMIA ✨️
Favorite Character: If you have been following since forever, you already know I'm going to say my favorite two are Miruko and Midoriya. They're both my #1s.
Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: The first half of Miruko's episode. I'll be honest... while I do like Kaminari, every time I rewatch that episode I just watch the Miruko parts. Another episode I really like is the dorm episode because it's mostly like a feel-good episode for me.
Favorite Ship/Pairing: It's Burnin/Miruko for me. "They haven't inter---" Ah! I am allowed to ship characters who haven't interacted and I adore them. Right now, they are my top ship.
Character I Think is Underrated: A lot of them. 😭 First person that comes to mind is Rock Lock. I would question, too, why kids are at a meeting about a dangerous situation. He's a husband and a dad and he loves his family! Of course, he would ask that!
Character I Think is Overrated: In-Universe, Hawks. I'm sorry, but every time there is a scene that showcases how he has many fans I just make this face 😐. He's like that famous gut almost everyone and their mama loves but you are just like "... what's so great about him". I mean, I get it, I do and I like Hawks. But... Also by the fandom, other than Hawks, Dabi and Bakugou. I feel like I don't have to explain here. Again, characters I like, but they are overrated. "But, Kiya, you like Midoriya!" I do! And I don't know if there is another popularity poll coming up, but if he doesn't get #1 on that I will scream. Come on, 9th poll? He is the 9th OFA user?
Something I Love About the Show/Movie: Definitely the range of quirks here. Some quirks, Horikoshi definitely got creative with. Also, say what you want, I like how some of the common tropes are here, but not exactly. Weird thing to be happy about, but I was happy I had to guess who the protagonist was because Midoriya didn't look like the typical one. (I didn't watch the first season first.)
**
JUJUTSU KAISEN 😈
Favorite Character: Yuji Itadori! He is my sunshine! Also a little feral and will take your kneecaps. Like Midoriya, I find he's not really the typical protagonist. He has some traits, but others you don't see too often in protagonists.
Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: I do like the Shibuya Incident and Culling Game Arcs. Personally, for me, and yes I'm a little bias, my favorite scenes are those with Yuji. My favorite fight scene is his fight against Choso. Now, for the Culling Game Arc, I really enjoyed the fight between Uro, Ryu and Yuta. Mostly because Uro was the best character for me there. But fight scenes aside, I gotta say that other scenes I enjoy are those scenes Yuji has with Megumi and Nobara.
Favorite Ship/Pairing: ItaFushi is the first ship I got into! It's just... it makes me want to cry. Also, NobaMaki! Oh my gosh, that scene they have after the small confrontation with Mai? Love that scene!!
Character I Think is Underrated: The Kyoto students as a whole. My favorite out the bunch is Kasumi Miwa. She's just so silly, kind and come on. I know she says she's frightened at times, but she's also really brave to still fight. I admire that.
Character I Think is Overrated: Once season 2 came, I swear Toji has been a favorite almost overnight! Don't blame the fans, of course. And, no surprise, Gojo and Sukuna.
Something I Love About the Show/Movie: If I need a story to break my heart, I know I can just look to JJK! And I mean not in a dramatic way, I mean like "I'm watching a horror movie and the character I hot attached to too fast dies". Okay, for real though, one of the strongest points for me is the characters. I find a lot of the characters entertaining and intriguing. Even if it's a character I don't practically like. When it comes to the characters, I actually don't get bored of them. There's probably a couple I don't really care for. Also, unpopular opinion, I do like Akutami's art style from the beginning and to end. The style before has this charm to it I just like and it's the same for the style now.

top 10 lobby boy looks please and thank you rate this man like he's in an issue of cosmo and we're ripping him asunder
this was a toughie bc idk anything abt fashion and his outfits aren't described in as much detail as the manager but i still had fun!! decided to only use publicly accessible canon episodes for this (no bonus eps, nothing patreon exclusive) hehe. also let me reiterate once more that i have the worst fashion sense in the entire world
NUMBER 10: 4.10 - audrey burns
Tumblr media
awesome episode but this fit sounds boring as hell. it doesn't sound BAD but just...... boring.......... doesn't even have a hat. sad
NUMBER 9: 4.1 - perry sherwin
Tumblr media
he doesn't like it and i don't either. white is definitely not the best colour to be wearing when you're employed at a slimy gross murder hotel lol. maybe it looked kinda cool but thinking abt him trying to get the stains out makes me a little sad. also plain white is kinda boring imo....... although it could look cool in a kind of stark way i suppose
NUMBER 8: 4.17 - debbie houston
Tumblr media
putting this one low on the list bc it's uncomfortable for him and he didn't like it which is sad. but it's at number 8 not lower bc i instinctively know he was serving cunt here. like i know he looked kinda sexy in it. but he doesn't like it and comfort should always come before fashion imho, hence its low spot on the list. also he didn't even get to wear it out of the closet.......
NUMBER 7: 4.16 - alex potenski
Tumblr media
made the manager cringe but i think it sounds kinda cute in an ugly way. like he could wear this to a barbecue or to the beach or something. i like it when madam hotel puts him in pink.........
NUMBER 6: 4.7 - dorothy rennup
Tumblr media
it's giving librarian. it's giving tumblr history teacher aesthetic. unfortunately i have a weakness for that kind of outfit so i think it sounds cute. it also sounds comfortable and warm which is important! and the collared button up under a sweater look is always something i enjoy................
NUMBER 5: 4.3 - the habers
Tumblr media
we never actually get this one properly described to us which is why it isn't higher on the list. based on the hotel taking on a 70s aesthetic in this episode and the fact that even THINKING about this made the manager cringe kinda fills me with joy bc i know it was ugly and campy as hell. in my heart i know he was so garish and awkward looking and sweaty in this episode and i love it.
NUMBER 4: 4.9 - mr platt
Tumblr media
i think this sounds cute sorry miss manager. once again i like it when the hotel puts him in pink outfits. by "coral" im assuming it's a pink/peachy coral type of colour which i think would look cool in combination with black. tidy but a little bit ugly in a way that i enjoy greatly. idk exactly why i like this one as much as i do. but i do.
NUMBER 3: 5.2 - it watches and it smiles
Tumblr media
LOVE THIS THANG! underrated episode imo. i love the way this episode combines ominous terror with like, pleasant night time tropical beach vibes. it's rlly good. the description of the lobby boy in this episode is also rlly good. something chunky and very low to the ground that can't move fast but has very very long grabby arms and bulging big eyes and an evil grin........ i love it. sounds very spooky. love it when he's at the window menacing the guy inside. it's easy to get a vague idea of this creature in my head but hard to pin it down to a specific design which i think is intentional, and i rlly like it. very shaped animal. sounds like he might look at little bit silly if you caught him in the daylight perhaps, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing
NUMBER 2: 2.2 - cracker man
Tumblr media
sadly we don't get much of a description of cracker man but im putting him high up bc i think he is awesome. bones sticking out everywhere, joints and the wrong angles, all skinny and tall and bulging and swollen and creaking........ love it. i bet he looks so scary. the idea of the monster chasing you being all broken and sad and in pain itself is very compelling. also the body horror side to the cracker man where he's constantly creaking and snapping with every movement is so uncomfortable (in a good way). also as someone with very creaky and sometimes painful joints i can relate to him.
NUMBER 1: 4.5 - robert watson
Tumblr media
maybe this sounds underwhelming but hear me out. HEAR ME OUT OK! this is one of the few episodes where the lobby boy is described as wearing the classic red lobby boy uniform, and it's extra shiny and fancy and pretty this time. i think he was physically at his peak of lobby-boy-ness here. the red outfit with the hat and shiny buttons is a classic and it's his most iconic look ever. most people in the fandom including me draw him this way. it might seem boring or generic bc it's so common but to me this outfit is just His Outfit. it's the lobby boy outfit. unbeatable imo. if he was a cartoon character and wore the same outfit every episode i just KNOW it would be this one. it's a classic. i will not be swayed on this.

Underrated aspect of Shamhat I really like but don't see mentioned at all really is how the Titans approach sex and how it delivers additional characterization about them. I think too often smut is kinda just two or more characters banged together like action figures with no additional characterization and the authors' kinks/fetishes projected onto them. This is why I really like Shamhat because (barring some exceptions) it doesn't do those things and ends being a really good character-driven narrative at the same time as being a smut-fest.
Prime example: I didn't like Shamhat Godzilla for a while. He seemed to me like this way overconfident alpha caricature that everyone was head over heels for just because he's, y'know, Godzilla. Every woman he breathed in the direction of turned to putty, when he realizes he's being peeped on with Mothra he opts to show off his mating prowess instead of stopping immediately for his wife's sake, and the implication that he got to tell Rodan who he was and wasn't allowed to get with and him immediately shouting commands at him when they first meet in the story really rubbed me the wrong way on him (I should probably qualify this was literally at the time of like, Chapter 7 being released- so still early and I was reading it on release and none of the supplemental material on this Tumblr. I hadn't even read Abraxas at this point lol). However, I think after I really looked into some of the scenes involving him as well as his general behavior- I do think I now have a much better perspective on him.
I feel like the fact that he is King weighs on him a little more than he lets show and that often trickles down into everything he does. Everyone knows him and has expectations of him, which he feels he has to rise to and meet. He feels like he has to play a role, put on a performance. This gets established in literally the first sex scene with him and Mothra when he realizes they're being watched. My headcanon here is that he actually thought this was Rodan peeping on them at first before he actually realizes it's Vivienne. My reasoning being that his pre-conceived notion would assume that Vivienne would be curt enough to just turn away and leave if she stumbled on them- but Rodan would absolutely stay and watch. Nonetheless, once he does realize he's being watched he almost completely unfocuses from Mothra and focuses on putting on a show- making sure to emphasize (as it says verbatim in the story) what he is capable of doing to a lover. Another subtle detail I really like is how he goes from vocalizing his pleasure with growls that seem to shake the ground to being as dead silent as he can manage (he does let out a 'quiet roar' when he cums, but I like to think that he was really trying hard to be quiet here, to sell that he's the dominant one in control and fulfilling his kingly duty to satisfy his queen, or at least to present himself as so to not lose face in front of Rodan or whoever else could've been watching). Even past all the sex- he usually acts overly theatrical to impress/seduce people (and it usually works. Case in point: Vivienne and Maia). When he does this- I think he acts in a way that he suspects humans might believe he would act. Like- he knows he's incredibly important to Vivienne and that she's definitely hoisted him up onto a lofty pedestal of some god she wants to win the favor of; and so he acts exactly like that for her sake as to not disappoint her (cue callback to the line "I would take it slowly, let her set the pace. And if I nick her in my passions, I'll tend to her." I think when he says 'passions', he means in both the more obvious physical way and the less obvious mental way that he worries he may not live up to be what Vivienne sees him as). Also interesting that this seems to permeate everywhere- even when he's with his wife of 200 million-ish years who you'd expect he trusts with his life, he still sometimes acts like this because he thinks he has to (however I will say that in many ways he might literally have to, and Mothra knows and acknowledges that). Another line I think is super telling is when Ling arrives and the royal couple needs to go meet them, "You're knot-deep in your needy, fertile wife and yet the outside world is what concerns you more? Since when were you so good at multitasking?". His kingly duties are at the forefront of his mind 24/7 and he needs to keep up appearances as often as humanely possible.
My favorite scene with Goji in the entire story is probably simultaneously the most overlooked one, as it's supposed to play side-fiddle to the scene the chapter is named after, is the one with Rodan in Chapter 8. Besides the obvious reasons that it could be assumed why this is my favorite, I'm really a fan of how Godzilla and Rodan sort of mutually see through one another's bullshit but neither are willing to admit it at first, so they kinda just dance around it and half-heartedly roleplay the punishing dom/bratty sub. I feel like despite Goji's best efforts to maintain the Kingly front in everything he does- Rodan can always see right through it because he does exactly the same thing himself with his own bad-boy bravado. He definitely knows that Godzilla's not actually planning to punish him after their bout with Vivi and Mothra but is still sorta playing along with it because he realizes Goji's doing the same thing. Once he's done with it, however, he actually calls Goji out on it- and he responds that Rodan would be confused if he didn't do anything to acknowledge what he did, so he basically admits to him that it was to keep up appearances. But I'm also pretty sure this is the only time someone actually calls him out for acting this way- every other time people just seem to let it slide. However, after he gets the message that Rodan can see right through the King act, he has genuine sex with him that he actually lets himself enjoy rather than trying to appear like he's in control or something like that. I also really like that Rodan does the same here; subtle, but it does show they do trust and enjoy each other's company despite constantly giving each other grief.
I actually think that Goji sort of improves on this in later chapters as he starts acting less like his kingly persona and more like his real self (letting himself get emotionally worked up in front of the group, allowing Tiamat to be all frisky with him, deciding to rely on Rodan and Vivienne to help with his rut instead of thuging it out). But- there is one wrench that gets thrown into his path multiple times and recently came to a head in the last chapter- San. I'm gonna skip a recap because god this is already so fucking long and go straight to the point. I know you got some flak for the stuff with Maia and Goji; but I do think it's totally in character for him to attempt to appear as the dominant force on Infant Island by screwing San's mate. It was very obviously pretty manipulate on his part to basically use Maia as a status symbol to lord his superiority over San- even if San had agreed to getting with different partners, Godzilla knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. However, it totally lines up that he either feels like he'd be weak for not establishing a dominance hierarchy- or he feels threatened by San's presence and thinks that getting San to submit to him would bring a sense of security (like that snake in the nest thing with Vivienne and Rodan). However- one thing I will say on this front is I hope that this isn't just brushed to the side and excused like some other instances of his behavior are (or San's, they're both at fault). I feel like it'd be really unhealthy if say Mothra or Vivienne or even Rodan give him no flak for this and let it slide with no repercussions; or worse, find a way to spin it that paints it in a positive light, like- 'Yeah Godzilla's super-hot for trying to start beef and fight another guy we're supposed to be welcoming to the island. Really sexy alpha energy he's got going on there'. I think it would be a great time for Goji to actually get confronted by someone on his more toxic behaviors, and give him an opportunity to grow out of them by actually making up with San.
All that being said- I could just be overanalyzing smut again, so- yeah- lol. Cant wait for chapter 17!
If I may be totally honest here, I love discussions and analysis of Abraxas (it is my Super Serious Fic Baby that took Two Gyat Dang Years from start to finish), but I'd ADORE to see such in-depth analysis of Shamhat (the middle child, with my SIGNALIS fic series Liebchen, Komm zu Mir being the youngest baby). Also, was there any whiplash going from Shamhat's smutty shenanigans to Abraxas being... Abraxas?
This is already giving me ideas to tackle for future chapters, especially the upcoming one (which has been started but is on the back burner while I work on the latest and probably last installment of Liebchen, Komm zu Mir, soooo... maybe check those out if you want some fluff and sesbian lex? No spoilers in there, I promise. Beware comment sections.); because Goji has issues he needs to bring out to the open which will lead to a more serious and probably less smutty "intermission" chapter where he and San need to basically have a therapy session. Appreciate the critique of Goji's character writing!
Tumblr media
Ozzy: Now I am become HORNY, the Destroyer of Worlds.
Well, if it's any consolation, the side-fic/spinoff Shamhat and Enkidu at the Watering Hole is meant to be for snippets that don't really fit in the ongoing events of Shamhat, so who knows, maybe such a threesome set in the past will appear there?

Tickle hc’s for the T-S&MS gang👍 (Sun&moon show)  hope this reaches the right people- 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀                                             
Sun: definitely a ler-leaning!switch~
100% tries to get moon but gets wrecked instead Bc he’s not the sneakiest of Ler’s.
death-spots: Rays, hips, knee’s (front and behind) and sides👍 has thought about using tickling as a way to keep eclipse under control but scrapped it (like staff did eclipse- ✨AU reference✨) bc he started thinking it might affect him aswell.
A/N: (I’m bad at HC’s -) Whenever he DOES get moon, it’s usually bc he’s (Moons) stressing out and distracted Over a bunch of shit👍 (That’s all I can think of off the top of my mind bout sun- we shall move onto.....)
moon: mainly a ler. But is fine with lee’s retaliating.
most common lee is sun, but has tickled Freddy. (We all know where I got that one)
death-spots: sides, hips, elbow-joints and knee’s. (Same as sun)
100% after an episode where sun was being a gremlin, moon wrecked him. (And stressful ones👍)
(annnnd I’m out- ONTO ECLIPSE >:3) eclipse: doesn’t tickle people often, but is surprisingly a lee-leaning switch?
has thought of tickling someone when he’s in control of sun’s body, just to fuck with people. him and lunar 100% have tickle fights (bc COME ON- LUNAR SAID THE FUCKING T-WORD. T W I C E ) death-spots (if someone manages to get him-): rays, elbow joints, hips, neck, sides and knee’s. (Again same as sun&moon.)
Onto the brand new BEBEH💙
lunar: lee-leaning switch, like eclipse.
(c’mon- HE SAID THE WORD.) 100% (heavily inspired by a certain comic) tickles eclipse when he’s being an ass.
death-spots: basically everywhere- aside from feet. None of em are ticklish there bc as moon once said, their shoes are glued on👍 if you boop him, it tickles more than you’d expect. Same with poking him in the cheeks -w- pinching his cheeks will cause a giggle-fit 👍
he’s ticklish on his palms bc it’s underrated 🤩
main lee’s: eclipse, and on rare occasion, Freddy. (We all know why~)
Bloodmoon(my AU): we don’t know much about him, but I’d say a ler who’s alright with someone retaliating👍 in my AU, he’s Like a more deranged & feral spinel who thinks hurting children is immoral, & since lunar is basically still a child (he ain’t even 2 months old yet as of typing this I think-) he refuses to hurt him, so whenever lunar is being a little shit, blood will often just- tickle-punish lunar👍 So yeah
main lee: Lunar (and eachother back when they could split into two beings)
deathspots: neck, hips, knee’s & palms (bc it’s underrated ✨)
absolute kill-spot: Under their left arm! But be very careful when tickling here, as this spot could also potentially kill them- damn you Ruin💢
