Is it just me or is Kiro's 8th anniversary karma very underwhelming compared to the other guys? I mean I can see the others as callbacks to certain dates/special moments with MC but what is Kiro's suppose to be? I swear, why do the devs keep giving Kiro such bad treatment?

Happy Sunday, nony!! Hope you're having a nice and relaxing weekend so far (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

BUT ALSO—YOU MEAN TO SAY KIRO'S ISN'T A CALLBACK TO THE NUMEROUS MOMENTS HE'S HAD WITH MC SO FAR???

And just his and MC's entire story up until this point: Solitude and loneliness to joyful and everlasting companionship together. I know I give PG a lot of heat for sometimes not living up to the mark when it comes to Kiro, but this is not one of those moments. Just because it isn't in-your-face with the callbacks to a certain past date, doesn't make it any less important than the others.

Also, I'm not sure if you read the date blurb or not, nony, but most of Kiro and MC's most important moments have been in association with music. How Kiro went from making music by himself (and for himself), to making music for her, and now making music WITH her. Like, it's the perfect culmination of their relationship after all these years of longing and development.

Also, their moment is happening against the backdrop of a concert hall, which is literally perfect for them, because:

The Karma's After Evolve also reminds me of this particular moment with the whole feather motif, and how this moment in the Main Story also takes place in an empty concert hall. They both separated (end of S1) and reunited in this very same place (when Kiro got his memories back in S2), hence why it's so important to them.

Another reason the stage is so important to Kiro and MC is because Kiro doesn't trust and open up so easily to people. Even with MC, it took him months and years to finally be comfortable enough to share the parts of himself that he isn't really proud of. To him, the stage is like his own little world where he gets to be the most brilliant version of himself, and the fact that he's letting MC shine with him on that same stage, letting her walk into his world little by little, says a lot to me.

The violin is a representation of Kiro's heart, as well as his love—deep, solemn and incredibly delicate. And he's letting her play the strings of it into whatever melody she wishes because he trusts that no matter what melody it is, it will definitely be sweet to listen to.

Hence, in conclusion, I would argue that Kiro's card is just as well designed as the other guys' cards are. Not to mention that the title of the date itself—"Remembering Love"—is such a crazy hint towards Season 3 where everyone has literally forgotten what "Love" is. And to me, S3 is going to be so important for Kiro's story arc because of how important the concept of "Love" is to a character like Kiro, who shaped his entire life, personality, motivations and worldview on the basis of "Love".

latest kink obsessions?

Oooh, currently I've been really into a breeding + somno 🫣 can't help but want to wake up feeling used and ruined, leaking, while my partner or whoever acts as if nothing ever happened 😵‍💫 so hot~

Thank you for asking!

[cecilyv]

I’m asking you and your co-author this. I’m obsessed with your Buck/Tommy series. It’s one of the most well thought out and consistent pieces of fiction I’ve read in a while. I love your characterization of Tommy, and while we don’t know for sure yet that it will match how they move forward with the character in canon, it reads so true to what we’ve been given so far.

(Side note: I find that characters like Tommy are where fandom THRIVES because fanfic is inherently speculative so a character with bits of established history but with a lot unknown allows for rampant speculation from authors and fans. Like we have enough to have a blueprint for characterization but otherwise there is an immense amount of freedom for fandom to do whatever they want without it feeling “out of character” yet. I think it’s one of the many reasons Buck/Tommy became so popular so quickly. Their story is a blank slate.)

Y’all have built a relationship in that verse that is so real, and part of that is moments of tension that naturally happen between to grown people who are different. So you’ve shown us multiple times where Tommy is somewhat avoidant when he feels in a mood (when he goes to the gym in the 2nd fic, or when he gets snippy and buck leaves for the book store in fic 4, etc) and each time Buck has sort of been left to “read the room” so to speak and they’ve worked it out in a super realistic way.

I guess I wonder if you think that’s an aspect of their relationship they’ll eventually discuss head on or if it’s just something about each other they learn to live with. I can see it going both ways, it wouldn’t be unfair of Buck to snap at Tommy if it continues to happen and ask that Tommy just tell him when he needs space instead of getting snippy. But I also think it’s something he could just eventually know what to look for and give him that space w/o any conflict or being asked. Alternatively I don’t think it would be unfair of Tommy to outright say that he needs space sometimes and be irritated if that’s not given, but I also can see him just figuring out what he needs to do for himself in those times and figure out a way to avoid being snippy until he can get some space naturally (you already showed he does a decent job at that in fic 4 obviously)

Anyway as a chronic introvert and someone who requires a lot of alone time to feel centered and good I found those moments particularly interesting and would love to hear any thoughts to have on that point of friction between these two. Or any thoughts on them at all. I think I could read about your version of these characters for days and not get board lol.

Thanks!

Hey Nony! 

Thank you so much for the kind words. We really appreciate it and love our versions of Buck & Tommy from What Binds, too. 

Now for your question: 

@liminalmemories21 : It's an interesting question. I mean, I think to a certain extent they just learn to read each other better -- Buck figures out that Tommy leaving isn't 'leaving,' it's walking away to get space.  Tommy maybe learns when Buck is going to feel insecure and says "I'll be back in an hour," or "I have my phone, text me if you need me" -- just something that says he's coming back, and that he just needs a minute.

Cecily: I think it’s a lot of Buck realizing that Tommy's not leaving and he’s not mad; that’s not even really about him. Tommy can’t really voice what’s happening, say what he needs, but he does learn to say, “I’m going to the garage” or “heading to the gym” as he walks out of the room. Buck also starts to naturally give him space, like if they’ve both been home on the same 48, he tells Tommy he’s taking Dug for coffee or just disappears himself into the living room, headphones on while he boots up a game and Chris is on the other side. 

@liminalmemories21: Yeah, basically. Also, I think the longer Buck has Tommy, the more Tommy stays, the more sure he is that he'll recognize a big fight vs a little fight.  And that just takes time.  It's not something you can learn overnight, or believe down in your bones just because someone says so.

So there you go! And a sneak peek into how we hash out arguments between them on the back end. 

Thanks for the question!

sentence game- Avocados have more potassium than bananas

Hi Nony, thanks for the sentence starter!

“Did you know avocados have more potassium than bananas?” Buck asks casually, propping himself against the counter to watch Eddie dry the breakfast dishes.

Eddie glares at him, but Buck can see the amusement in his eyes, so he knows he doesn’t really mean it.  He just hates arguing with his son, and Christopher left the kitchen in a full pout after the banana breakdown during breakfast.

“I’m just saying, Eddie.  I know the little man loves avocado.  I have some delicious avocado toast recipes.”  Buck laughs when Eddie throws a wet dishtowel at his face, catching it and tossing it in the sink.  “Ooh, or we can make breakfast tacos, Eddie!  Some protein, healthy fat and potassium and most importantly, no bananas,” Buck says.

“He doesn’t need your help, Buck.  He likes bananas just fine.  You don’t like bananas, and he wants to be just like his new best friend, that’s all.”

And Buck can’t help it, he melts a little at that.  It must show on his face, because Eddie is smirking at him now, but he can’t bring himself to care.

“Well, fine.  Maybe some smoothies?  I can handle banana in a smoothie if we make them right, and—”

“Buck, it’s fine,” Eddie says, reaching out to squeeze Buck’s shoulder.  “No need to force yourself to eat the evil bananas.  The breakfast tacos are a good idea, and Chris is going to love them.”

send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic and I'll write (at least) the next five!

Peter's high school reunion is coming up and his husband tony is coming with him. Adult flash is still making insult at our sweet and kind peter and tony stood up for him

My dear you have blessed me with this

I did NOT do this justice

“I don’t wanna goooo” Peter whined banging his head against Tony’s chest “And I don’t wanna do a lot of things but I still have to do them” Peter looked up at his husband “but Flash is gonna be there, and I can’t even stomach him” Peter sighed “I’ll protect you baby” peter scoffed “how are you gonna do that, go all tony stark on his ass?” Tony hummed and nodded “Yes, I am” Peter shook his head “Jesus Christ this is gonna be a disaster” Tony smiled and took Peters hand “come on, you can do this okay? I promise, afterwards we’ll grab ice cream” Peter smiled “really?” “Yeah, it’s fucking ice cream peter it’s not gonna kill us” peter rolled his eyes “you can be unbelievable sometimes” Tony shrugged “hey! you’re the one who married me” peyer inhaled a sharp breath and pinched the bridge of his nose “Fucking regretting it now” he mumbled to himself “Hey! I heard that” tony said standing across from him. “I’m well aware, come on we’re gonna be late” Peter gave tony a quick peck on the cheek before heading out the door.

Arriving at Peters old high school was nothing short of hell. They tried to make it look nice, they really did, but let’s face it, is a fucking school. How good can it be? “Damn Peter, this place is more depressing than... anywhere” peter snorted “I know, you’d think for a school that gets yearly funding from the government it would look better, but alas, this is it” Tony smiled and looked over at the lockers “which one was yours?” He asked walking towards them, Peter chuckled and walked towards a white locker by the men’s bathroom. “This one, locker two six three” Peter held up a hand and wacked his elbow against it, then his hand and the door came swinging open “That was some sort of MIB type shit” Tony whispered placing his hand in Peters “Never got it fixed” Peter whispered out. “Name?” Someone spoke behind them, they both turned around to be met my an older looking woman, who looked very bored, holding a clipboard “Peter Stark” Peter said gripping Tony’s hands. The lady nodded and handing peter and tony a sticker with their names on it. “Welcome back class of twenty twenty” she spoke in a monotone voice before walking off to the next couple. “She’s... nice” tony laughed as peter dragged him into the auditorium.

“WELCOME BACK CLASS OF TWENTY TWENTY!” Peters old chemistry teacher shouted on the stage. “We know the school looks like shit don’t mention it. Anyway, tonight is a night about reminiscing and remember the torture we teachers put you through. Have fun!” Peter laughed at the speach and turned to tony “that’s Mr Matt, he was the most laid back teacher ever” Tony smiled “I feel like we’d be friends” Peter shook his head “You’d fucking hate the guy. Trust me, anway, come on I wanna show you something” Tony raised his eyebrow standing up with peter and walking through the doors and out to the corridor “Where are we going?” Tony questioned as his feet skidded against the horrible green floors “My old home room, I wanna see if my meme is still stuck on the wall” peter laughed dragging tony. “Well well well, if it isn’t Peter Parker himself” peter stopped dead in his tracks “Oh for the love of fuck” he said turning around “Oh and it’s actually Peter Stark for your information” Peter smiled holding up the hand with the ring on. Flash rolled his eyes “Do I look like I care?” Peter sighed “what are you gonna do flash? Kick me? Punch me? Call me penis Parker? Come on dude” flash growled at peter “Fuck you parker, I don’t care that you married Tony Stark, hows you get him to do it anyway? Sleep with him enough times till he actually felt bad about it?” Peter was about to speak when tony stepped towards “Listen Dickwad, Peter didn’t do any of that shit, he’s the most amazing person I’ve ever met, that how he got me to marry him. So why don’t you go back to your below average wife go home to your crappy apartment with your crappy nine to five job or I’ll ruin your entire life” Flash gulped and walked off “Tony, what the fuck was that?” Peter laughed wrapping an arm around his neck “something that should’ve happened along time ago” peter shook his head “I love you Tony Stark” he whispered “I love you too, Peter Stark”

Since you have a lot of DA followers (and I know ur a sweety) could you please reblog pauvre-lola's recent post? She accidentally deleted her blog of 7years and now people don't know where to find her lovely zevrans.

Hey Nony! I've been a follower of @pauvre-lola for a while and had no idea this had happened so thank you for pointing it out. I have followed her new page and hopefully some other's will also go forth and follow her as well (again).

My semester recently finished and now im on my second semester! I passed with flying colors but it was really stressing, I'm currently trying to organize myself so I can work on this semester properly; but my mum doesn't want me to work on things when im on break because im at a burnout. im too stubborn and let her keep the computer and work on my assignments on my tablet. Im a bit of a workaholic,but this semester is starting off pretty hard, BTW THAT STORY & COMIC WAS SO FUNNY KUDOS 2BOTH -💌

//Oh really? I’m so happy for you!

Try not to overwork yourself nony, I’d hate for you to fall ill for doing such a thing. Breaks are meant for relaxing, but I understand if you want to be ahead of schedule in your classes. Just remember to take proper breaks, water yourself and sunbathe! It’s extremely important to decompress! I’m sending positive vibes for good grades!

Thank you and thank you hala-sige for submitting! <3

Has it been confirmed that there won't be any Zude in season 4 at all? They are not going to recast Zero?

No there hasn’t been any confirmation about what will be in season 4, aside from what Adam let slip. James said specifically on his twitter that he’s on lock-down, which is what I’d always suspected. I imagine BET will want to do an official promo launch one they decide on an air date and will probably confirm the cast around then too.

However, given what Adam said, I’d be extremely surprised if there is any Zude in season 4. I know people have spoken about the part being recast, but again, I’d be surprised if they do that - I could be wrong - but outside of daytime soaps, it’s not something you see shows do for main roles very often - smaller parts, yes, but main roles, not so much.

So I’ll just be playing the wait and see until I hear feedback. The boys left on such a high, I refuse to let that be ruined. So if season 4 does that in any way, I’m just gonna pretend it doesn’t exist!
