i don't mind endfield and im happy people are having fun with it but oh my god i am five seconds away from blocking the name + tag on all platforms. i am so tired of the normal arknights tag being full of endfield content. like it's not technically wrong but it's just so unbelievably annoying to barely see content for the actual game in the actual game's tag. when the latest sui event got revealed on CN i had to scroll for like a full minute just to see actual posts about it because the entire tag was nothing but reposted endfield art. that's not fun. that's annoying as hell.
Every few months, I pick up what I've come to think of as My Emotional Support WIP (renben feat hair braiding) and I read it over, making some tweaks as I go, and then I reach the end and I get mad all over again that I have no idea how to finish it
This WIP will be 6 years old in July. I genuinely don't know if it'll ever be completed 😔
I'm not usually in the business of canon ships. My shit's gotta be fetched from quite far away to keep me engaged.
BUT. Vaultknight and Barbcoop? Ohhh baby they snuck up on me. Barb and Coop are literally married with a child and Lucy and Max were SO fucking ready to move in with each other, first kiss and awkward propositions and all... it should be enough for me to get bored and tune out. And then Fallout introduces separation into their dynamics. Makes both parties equally interesting and well-rounded and lets them develop apart from each other. Now I *want* Barb and Coop to love each other because then, their separation hurts so much more, and thinking about how they could be around each other if Barb and Janey got unfrozen can go SO many different ways. Give me that middle aged hetero anguish!! The conflict!! The way they actually did stick together and tried to save the world!!! And I want Max to become the good person Lucy always thought she was. I want him to give her a crisis just by existing, and I want her to challenge his concept of goodness and maybe there will be friction because they've both changed so much, and that makes it so much tastier...
Don't get me started on the parallels between these two relationships. The character writing on this show is so good when it's good
Could you please, if this doesn't bother you a small silco x reader, where they are just taking a shower together, just soft kinda thing yk
sanctuary
Steam rises around you both, cocooning you in warmth as water cascades from above. You’ve come to understand what this means to him—this sanctuary of clean water, so rare in the Lanes. For Silco, it’s a ritual, a brief reprieve from the constant vigilance his position demands.
Water streams over the sharp angles of his face, tracing paths along the scarring on his left side before continuing its journey downward. You reach for the shampoo, pouring a measured amount into your palm.
“Can I?” you ask softly.
“Yes,” he replies simply, that almost-smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Your fingers work the lather through his silver-threaded dark hair, taking care to massage his scalp with gentle pressure. His posture remains immaculate even here, though you notice the subtle relaxation of his shoulders as you continue.
“You’re quite skilled at that,” he murmurs, voice carrying that distinctive lilt that emerges when he's content.
You press a kiss between his sharp shoulder blades, reveling in the warmth of his skin and the clean, comforting scent that clings to it.
When it’s his turn, his movements are methodical yet tender, long fingers working through your hair in gentle patterns. He tilts your head back slightly, one hand shielding your eyes as he rinses the suds away.
“There,” he says, satisfaction evident in his tone. “Quite thorough.”
You step closer, arms encircling his lean frame, feeling the water envelop you both. He reciprocates, holding you securely against him. Neither of you speak; the constant patter of water says enough.
After some time, you lift your face to his, pressing your lips to his temple, then each cheek in turn. When you kiss the tip of his nose, that rare, genuine smile emerges—the one reserved for private moments such as this.
“What have I done to deserve such affection, angel?” he asks, the endearment slipping out without his usual reserve.
You answer by pressing your lips to his. When you part, you rest your forehead against his as you whisper, “You deserve it all, my love.”
finally got to the holy mausoleum arc in my reread and god. this arc is truly the best part of scum villain. I love getting to see shen qingqiu at his best and most competent while defending binghe. showing off his clever quick thinking and his martial and spiritual strength all while lugging his disciple's unconscious body around and repeatedly getting himself hurt in order to protect him. AND it ends with him bursting into tears because binghe yelled at him. what more could i ever ask for
