This one is deceptively difficult, because while we all know Leon is looking for a daddy Kamui is in the market for a sugar daddy – or a sugar anything, really. I’d probably have more to talk about with Leon, but without a top around to split our attention (unlikely since Leon is so hardcore into monogamy) the sex will likely just be rimming and there’s about a 60% chance the night will devolve into passive-aggressive sniping at each other anyway. Kamui it is then, and he’ll just have to deal with my refusal to treat him to anything that we can definitively price.
GIVE ME TWO FICTIONAL CHARACTERS AND I’LL TELL YOU WHICH ONE I’D RATHER DATE
I love the idea of finn being quan’s little catamite
“Catamite” is not the best word for it I think since their relationship exists in an almost purely martial context during the events of the game, whereas that terms evokes images of brothel workers and is now understood mostly as a antiquated term for twinks. But I get what you mean, and I have no trouble seeing their relationship that way during the time they’re in Sigurd’s army. It helps that they have one of the closest things to a full support line in the game, so there’s a sense of relationship progression.

@paragonred tagged me for this ask this morning, and I’m just now getting back to my main computer to answer it.
relationship status: would be “it’s complicated” on Facebook, but I identify as single on hookup apps and similar online spaces because I’ve never been one to let juvenile concepts like fidelity limit me when the price isn’t right. I have currently something like a half dozen relationships, each of them serving a different purpose and none of them with any significant emotional investment.
favorite color: all shades of blue, and while bleu royal is lovely as a cultural indicator I rarely wear it since I prefer either pastels or very deep colors for my wardrobe.
lipstick or chapstick: lipstick never, chapstick only in the middle of winter when the humidity dips enough to where it’s sometimes necessary
last song i listened to: Not counting music I’ve had to listen to involuntarily – a common occurrence in my line(s) of work – it would be *checks browser history* one of the FE4 orchestrated tracks, Chapter 5 more specifically.
last movie i watched: I rarely watch movies, but I did see Love Simon a few weeks ago.
top 3 tv shows: I also rarely watch TV, even with Netflix. Probably Sense8, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and The Legend of Korra.
top 3 characters: la marquise de Merteuil (Les Liasons dangereuses), Cendrillon (all versions more or less), Blanche DuBois (A Streetcar Named Desire)
top 3 ships: Enjolras/Grantaire (Les Misérables), Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood (Harry Potter), Mako/Wu (The Legend of Korra)
books i’m currently reading: I’ve been poking at a massive biography of Marcel Proust gifted to me several years ago by a former lover’s benefactor, though I doubt I’ll find it in me to finish the whole thing. Biographies never interested me all that much.
I’m not tagging anyone specifically, but any of my followers can feel free to take this one if they like.
I still need to get around to watching Call Me By Your Name whenever I can pick up the DVD, but apparently Tumblr is newly enflamed about the infamous peach scene, because the one who doesn’t use a peach as a makeshift fleshlight then offers to eat the same peach (or does).
I am *not* going to be the one going around educating the blogosphere on rimjobs.
I’d have thought that a hipster coffee bar named the Steampunk but with nothing of the steampunk aesthetic in Natchez, Mississippi – for context, a town on the river founded by Créoles and now attempting to cash in on its New Orleans Lite feel – was strange enough, but even stranger was the décor of the single (unisex) bathroom, featuring woodwork with skulls painted in the style of Dia de los Muertos and an informal altar to St. Joseph bedecked with candles to the Blessed Mother.
I am so incredibly confused right now.
Welcome to the Age of the Twink – The New York Times
This article is already getting savaged on Twitter and elsewhere, but I thought I’d bring it up myself for a good laugh. Nevermind the question of why any straight guys would want to call themselves twinks given its connotations – effete, submissive, airheaded tending toward delusional as the years go on – but speaking as a twink myself (or a former one if you don’t believe that I can still use that label at 29) you shouldn’t get to call yourself one if you’ve not had or wanted to have someone else’s cock in you.
As we’re currently talking about toxic Fates vs. Echoes fanwank, and coming from someone who ranks neither game as their best or worst FE:
I get the impression that the level of hatred on display here isn’t really about Fates or even Echoes. Rather, it has to do with the perception that future games in the series (including most immediately the one in production for the Switch) will follow in the footsteps of Awakening and Fates because those two games sold so well and introduced so many new fans to the franchise. The rabid Fates-haters are envisioning a series that from here on out will consist only of remakes and new games burdened with Avatars and shallow dating sim elements and eugenics babies, but at the same time hating Fates is pretty much the only thing they can all rally behind. FE doesn’t have a single game held up by the majority of the fandom as the absolute best (something like how Ocarina of Time was regarded up until recently in the Zelda fandom), so if you asked everyone critical of FE13 and 14 which game(s) they’re predominantly comparing to those two the answers would likely include every other entry in the franchise – with considerable disagreement over the relative values of those games. And since Fates is such a deeply flawed game (especially in localization, which for many Western fans – myself included – is the only way we’re ever going to experience it fully) it’s easy to heap it with unjustified levels of criticism and praise Echoes in spite of its own obvious flaws and/or how spottily it represents the elements of the series that pre-Awakening fans consider superior.
For my part, Fates is the FE that disappointed me the most, even if that doesn’t mean that it’s my least favorite (it’s probably in my bottom 5 though). Echoes surprised me by being significantly more engaging than I was expecting given how little the Archanea remakes impressed me, but at the same time I don’t see myself returning to it anywhere near as often as I like to replay FE10. And I can mostly live with the, er, Awakening-ification of the series provided that the strides in queer representation in both Fates and Echoes (problematic though they both were) continue to be improved upon. As my recent forays into Harvest Moon-inspired indie games have reminded me, I have no trouble with dating sims provided my self-inserts can get dick without having to be women.
I rarely reblog myself, but since I’ve seen a resurgence of Fates vs. Echoes wank and anon hate lately I thought I’d bring this back for consideration. I’ve explained in the interim my feelings on these games more in detail and where I rank each of them with the rest of the series too, and even though I’ve come down fairly hard on Awakening and Fates it does seem like I’m one of the few older (read: pre-FE13) fans willing to give them points for anything other than Conquest’s gameplay.
