- Rogue, after being asked why they sound so tired
someone should pay me a lot of money so i can take a year off work and spend all my time baking and writing and working out
this is great actually! like we're a great believer in casual kink like kink that just runs as an undercurrent rather than being the focus like it is in scenes.
like when you do the cooking in just an apron, or game in a catsuit, or you're just watching tv but you've been tied up, or you've got like an 'i love you' trigger that does something special when you're just having a cuddle or out and about. it's about just existing in a horny space while the horny isn't the focus. instead of boxing up all the horny and opening up the box when you finally get to scene, it's about living in that box. casual horny is why we have day collars and kink gear that's invisible to vanilla folks. it's being available on a whim, and just living in a kinky/horny space without it being the centre of attention. like it's obvious but also it's not a big deal, it's just expressing a side of yourself openly where society would have you hide it. it's about wearing your kinks on your sleeve, and not feeling the pressure of a scene while still getting to feel kinky and horny. it's about being your true self while doing the stuff that everyone has to do.
it's the point where 'kink is what we do' turns into 'kink is who we are'.
casual kink is just the best. it's low pressure fun. it's just enjoying being kinky without feeling like you have to buy in to a whole big deal. it's about just enjoying yourself without feeling like you have to be 'on'.
it's existing as a kinky person without shame.
Someone PLEASE tell the Witch-King of Angmar that this little hobbit genuinely thinks it’s anyone’s guess whether or not he’s literate. PLEASE.
I hate that thing some people do where it's like. "I left my wallet on the table to see if you'd say anything" or "I wanted to see if you'd wash the car if I stopped doing it"
Cause like
I dont know about anyone else
But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering
And if I don't notice, because I won't, because why would I, because not much bothers me and if you don't say anything to indicate you are bothered then how would I KNOW
Ok so if we did get what we all wanted, and V found Johnny's body and both of them were able to get out alive in the end, I love to imagine Kerry and Rogue's reaction to the Johnny who's been changed so much by V. Especially Rogue's reaction since her dialogue if V lets Johnny have their body in the end leads me to believe that she thinks Johnny minipulated V into letting him have their body and probably thinks that Johnny can never change.
But V changed Johnny so much. Kerry and Rogue would see a Johnny who is so incredibly determined not to fuck up what he has with V again. He knows he did once, and to his old choom's surprise he owns up to it but he won't be making that mistake again.
Even if he doesn't immediately change the way he treats everyone, Kerry and Rogue would see the difference in how he treats V. He's honest with V. He treats V with respect, never degrading them outside of friendly jabs and never trying to minipulated them. V would be the first person they'd ever seen Johnny treat with real dignity.
And he wouldn't just treat V with dignity, he'd treat himself with more dignity too. V didn't just give him a second chance on life when they put everything on the line to save him, V had given him an entirely new perspective on how his life should be lived. He's not constantly out of his mind drunk or high anymore, he has value in his life being lived consciously and doesn't want to just waste it away constantly chasing the next best high.
I feel like Kerry and Rogue would be genuinely shocked with who Johnny is after V. And they'd be shocked to see who Johnny is when he's around V. Johnny expresses how he's never been as close to someone as he is to V, by a long shot. It seems like he's the type who only lets anyone so close before putting up a wall and pushing them away. But with V, not only can he say one word to make them bust their ass laughing while he sits there with a shit eating grin but Johnny is also genuinely vulnerable with V. V knows pains of Johnny's that neither Rogue nor Kerry knew existed, and it's obvious to them that Johnny isn't afraid to lean on V's comfort if he needs it. He's never been that close to anyone.
Sure, Johnny would still have everything that makes him the corpo-hating smartass rockerboy they know and love but I genuinely think that his relationship with V would make him a whole new person in the eyes of Kerry and Rogue.

lowkey funniest part of mandalorian is that if the reason yoda talks the way he does is true, it follows that centuries from now there’s gonna be a wise old Force master talking like a back-alley merc
