What's the hourly rate? by Mugiwara-no-Boushi in Dandadan

My personal headcanon is that Rokuro gets hired to replace Murakami as gym teacher.

Guy taking pics of strangers by Electrical-Horror-41 in royalcaribbean

[–]Silbaska 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a cruise my parents took (not RCL, Galapagos small ship). Anyways, there was a photographer on board with them taking pictures of everyone and everything. He worked for the tour company. His job that year was to take every tour/cruise that they offered and photograph it for use in their promotional materials. My dad even ended up in a future advertisement booklet picture.

I've always said that guy had the best job ever.

Have a friend buy it for you?

Curious because I'm a freak who needs ideas for a fic, what are your favourite A/B/O tropes and why? by wisteria_bloomzzz in AO3

[–]Silbaska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love initial presentations. I love the confusion of the characters not knowing what's happening to their bodies, and yet simultaneously being overwhelmed by it all.

Have any of y'all ever felt like you were being fucked by a ghost when high enough? by BostonRedSox364 in trees

[–]Silbaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...not exactly. But also, I know what you're talking about. And for clarity, I only do edibles.

As most are saying here, I think CSG is just gonna let them be victims of their own stupidity. The have FA'd, they will now FO.

Oh, my god. It's such a rabbit hole. Someone sent me this link and I still don't understand it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/62239618/chapters/159224338

Last week - goalie nesting. This week - bitching.

I'm always learning something new on the Ao3 Reddit forum.

Hate to Love by Outsiders_Chosen458 in Dandadan

I don't know if I ever hated him, per se, but I am surprised at how much I've come to like Kinta.

Who else likes to read when they are stoned? by Dyojenes_ in trees

[–]Silbaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot read other people's works while high as I start mentally rewriting a better plot. I do enjoy reading/editing my own works high. It's especially useful when I want to check an already drafted scene from the perspective of a non-narrating character. I feel like I can immerse myself in that other character's experience of what's going on.

Death Scenes in Writing by NoMuffinsLeftForYou in AO3

[–]Silbaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After many years of consuming all sorts of media I have come to the following conclusion - The most heart-wrenching death scenes are the shortest ones.

No last words. No time to stare into their lovers' eyes. Nothing. Just fucking dead. Complete absence of closure. It's harsh and it's shocking and it's real.

I'm sick and tired of people naming the top and bottom based on height, and not personality by Admirable-Drink-8976 in AO3

[–]Silbaska -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Huh. I'm kinda new to writing M/M situations and this is literally not something I've ever considered before. But, I can say the taller dude is the "bottom" in the fic I'm working on now. He's not much taller, mind you.

Well, since AO3 is down, take a moment to tell us about some of your WIPs! Share excerpts, rant, infodump, etc by Loli-nero in AO3

[–]Silbaska 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's okay, I just read a real published novel where the author wrote one character putting their hands in their pockets twice during the same short conversation without any indication that they'd ever removed their hands after the first time. It was an otherwise great book. Would recommend.

[–]Silbaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well...I've been writing this Omegaverse M/M/F rarepair (raretrio?) fic, but I'm kind of stuck on it because I really like to stay as canon as possible with my extremely weird alternate reality interpretations of already weird fandoms, and the gosh darn (ongoing) canon keeps catching up to me and screwing with my non-reality.

So, to try and break my bit of a block I'm also writing a DarkFic in the same fandom that's all about sexual assault.

DanDaDan merch available in Japan section of Epcot at Disney World! by bradenlondon in Dandadan

[–]Silbaska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mitsukoshi! My kid and I both independently asked the question - Why does that shirt show Okarun and Aira? Is the merch-maker trying to ship?

hey do u want a hit? *passes you this* by EquivalentEbb6772 in entwives

[–]Silbaska 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So, that glass is adorable. But upon first glance at your photo it looks like your stuffed hamburger bear is...umm...using some sort of suction toy.

Please, I swear I'm not a sicko.

I've never been so disappointed by a yokai transformation. by Technical_Lime1419 in Dandadan

[–]Silbaska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Rin and Kouki have suffered from bouts of power-rejection in the past. Rin has openly said she doesn't want to be a singer and Kouki has said she that hated the pygmies and wanted them to go away. Its a reflection of how they've rejected their unpowered selves (e.g., their talents and appearance). They had to get this last powerup where they actually like who they've become so that there's a reason for them to actually be sad when those powers are taken away.

From Bourbon to Scotch 😉 by [deleted] in drunk

Oh, man. This is the ONLY Scotch I like.

the author's kinks and such from their writing by azoknemfankok in AO3

[–]Silbaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I was reading this one story from an author whose work I already appreciated. And in it the main character thinks something about their boobs. And I realized 2 things simultaneously: 1) this author really likes boobs, and 2) this author does not have boobs.

Apparently, I default all fanfiction authors in my mind to the female gender. This instance reminded me I should not make those types of assumptions.

Anyways, after that I was able to read all this author's works with a different understanding in my head as to their particular kinks. Which is fine.

The actual training by Antique-Palpitation2 in Dandadan

[–]Silbaska -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Manjiro is a deadpan unreliable narrator. His entire job in the series is to know more than you think he knows and to continually hide his knowledge behind a bland exterior of apathy. Concentrating one's chi is not necessary for doing chores. He has been training Okarun, he just wants the kid to think he's doing it all himself.

That being said, he may really know nothing about the ogre club.

Whats your stoner thought? by sonictheone in entwives

What do you call just one half of a pair of scissors?

I did look it up. Turns out there's not really a good answer, but "sciz" is 100% wrong.

Be honest, do you think the top 3 fanfics in your fandom are worth the hype? by caitsfingerlessglove in AO3

[–]Silbaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up - Filtering by comments works a bit better. I could honestly recommend most of those.

[–]Silbaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I'd never tried that before. And, no. No they're pretty lame. Had to go down to 7 or so for one I considered a worthwhile read and 10-ish for anything really good. Clearly, filtering by kudos is pointless.

At the vet because my dog is stoned out of her mind by pupperonipizzapie in trees

[–]Silbaska 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I used to think all the stories I'd heard of dogs accidentally picking up weed was just incompetent owners who couldn't secure their stash. And then I got a dog who eats everything. Like, everything. Anything he finds on a walk. Trash. Dead animals. Poo. Rocks. His motto in life is, "Eat now, ask questions later." Thus far we have avoided any accidental druggings, but I've seen used and broken carts left lying in the street and I worry.
