What To Know About Energy-Efficient Homes?

As people become more interested in sustainability and leading environmentally friendly lifestyles, energy-efficient homes are increasingly popular. Some critical design components are necessary for every green home, regardless of whether you want to construct from scratch, remodel an existing home, or purchase a house is already energy-efficient.

What is a home that is energy efficient?

A house that uses less energy while offering the same level of security, comfort, convenience, and aesthetic appeal as a more conventional home is energy-efficient. An Energy Assessments Solutions that help to improve energy efficiency in your home is to replace your traditional light bulbs with compact fluorescent or light-emitting diode bulbs. Although both bulbs provide light, compact fluorescent and LED bulbs use less energy.

How to build Energy-Efficient Homes?

Sustainable building materials are used to construct energy-efficient homes to reduce their environmental impact. The primary actions contractors take to guarantee that new homes are as energy-efficient as feasible are listed below:

Selecting the Proper Building Materials: 

Homebuilders may make more energy-efficient design decisions by choosing to build with more environmentally friendly materials, like reclaimed wood or natural stone. Other building components that can improve a home's efficiency include repurposed steel, insulating spray foam without fiberglass, and bamboo.

Insulate properly:

Energy-efficient improvements can maintain a comfortable temperature year-round without using your heating and cooling systems more frequently. When constructing energy-efficient homes, builders will add enough insulation to the walls, floor, and attic to keep the house comfortable year-round. Additionally, they will put in double- or triple-pane windows to provide plenty of natural light into the house without reducing the insulation in the walls.

Utilize solar energy:

Builders to benefit from the inherent heat intentionally position windows. You can feel warm in your home more effectively in the winter if you have many south-facing windows. The house will stay cool in the summer if the windows are covered. During the building phase, some contractors prepare the home for solar installation. Once they are inside the house, this makes it is simpler for homeowners to install the panels.

Final thoughts: Whether constructing a new home or looking to enhance your existing one, making energy-efficient upgrades can be a wise investment. Not only will you use less energy at home, but also you will probably spend less each month on utilities.

Stern, but sweet

✎ Teacher!San ✎

TW: nothing, just San being soft and hansome

Word count: 1.2k

A/N: Helleur, lovelies! As you can see, those pictures are from San's latest YouTube live, which means I was inspired by it (dies). Also, it's the first time San bias wrecked me and I sincerely hope it stays that way, I've already got 3 official wreckers (dies again). Idk what this is, but he gave me cute aggression and at the same time the need to crawl up a wall...how is that possible? Anyways, enjoy, feedback is always welcomed!

so, you had been working at this school for a year now and you absolutely loved your job

the kids are lovely and you happened to grow attached to them quite fast, wanting to ensure they got the adequate education

but when it comes to your colleagues, well, they are quite boring

most of them are well past the age of 40 and they prefer going straight home after work, most of times refusing your invitations for a dinner between co-workers

and it also doesn't help much that you're a lot younger than most, making you feel left out when you hear them conversing about topics that you're either not interested in or just simply don't understand, like: raising children and maintaining a family at home

but when one of the homeroom teacher moves away and the school is in a frenzy to find someone fit for the job, a man around your age seems to confidently accept the challenge

Choi San, is his name

and my lord, when I tell you he's absolutely ravishing with his sharp eyes and soft looking skin

he looks like someone who would discipline you at the slightest misbehavior, and you don't know how to feel about it at first

but then he smiles and those cute dimples in his cheeks make you absolutely swoon over him, his aura so warm and lovely

you've come to know that Choi San is a man with a colorful personality

in his own class, he's very authoritative and stern, he doesn't allow his students to slack, and he doesn't accept any excuses as to why they haven't done their math homework

but San is an amazing teacher, and despite his subject being math, which many students tend to hate, those who he teaches just simply can't wait for his class to come

despite being stern and quite serious, he always cracks harmless jokes while explaining the hardest equations and theories, lightening the mood, and also helping the students focus

they love San in and outside of the classroom

whenever they have a problem, they know they can go to him as he will listen, giving them smart advice instead of rolling his eyes at them and telling them to get lost (like their last homeroom teacher had done so many times)

when there's a conflict, he first listens to both sides and then comes up with a solution (or punishment) that is fair and doesn't favor a student (like their previous homeroom teacher had done quite often)

but San, with his positive and warm energy, seems to also light up your office, the grumpy older teachers laughing a bit more often, a lot more open-minded with San here now

and well, you're a simple woman and you can't really help yourself when you start swooning over him (of course, when he's not watching you or paying attention to you) about just how perfect, and dreamy, he actually is

San was the one to approach you, and you quite liked that as he talked to you freely as if you had known each other for ages

you feel your most authentic self around him, never having to worry that he'll judge you or make fun of you behind your back (like you have caught a few of your fellow co-workers doing so before)

and seriously, San is just so good with children, that you can't help yourself as you develop a crush on him rapidly

and you hope he doesn't notice the way you gaze at him longingly when he's explaining something thoroughly to his students, or pats them on the head as encouragement, or even brings them candy so he can give it as a reward when they excel on their tests

and you certainly hope he doesn't see the way you stare at him for minutes at a time when you're both in your office, your cubicles next to each other, him busy typing on his computer and you busy...well staring at San

and you definitely do not absolutely die when one Friday he asks if you're doing anything later that night, eager to go to the new Amusement Park, saying he was thinking of inviting a few other colleagues as well since he's on good terms with them

you hate Amusement Parks, but if San loves them, well...you might grow to dislike them a little less

and so you definitely do not dress up all cute and spend two hours on your makeup and hair just because San invited you (and your colleagues, but you tend to ignore that part) out

what the two of you absolutely do not expect is for your colleagues to bail on you last minute, all of them saying the same excuse, "something came up, but we should go next time"

and perhaps you die a little on the inside, because you suddenly realize just how of an awkward person the both of you are, blushing and quickly avoiding eye contact when you catch the other one already looking

you don't want to tell San that you're afraid of heights and anything that goes with high speed when he points excitedly at the large roller-coaster, telling you how he's been waiting all day to go on it

you say nothing, you suck it up, because you're an adult and this is your work crush, and perhaps because the way San has been paying attention to you all evening, keeping people away from your body in the crowd as you moved around, or how without touching you, would hold his arm out behind your back when someone walked too close, made you feel rather comfortable in his presence

so, you brace yourself for the ride and certainly don't tremble as San helps you inside the cabin, sitting down next to you

once you're tied up and secured inside of it, is when you start praying to all Gods to give you strength so that you don't lose your mind during the ride

what you don't expect is San noticing how nervous and pale you are, grabbing your hand and interlacing your fingers with his as the ride takes off, making you clutch onto his hand for dear life

and the ride is so much fun that you're surprised how much you're enjoying it, but perhaps it's also because San keeps making you laugh and keeps talking to you, holding onto you

what you don't expect, once again, is him not letting go of your hand once you get off the ride, and instead he pulls you towards a photobooth, saying he wants to commemorate tonight's 'date'

oh, and you certainly don't faint when San decides to press a kiss against your cheek as the camera goes off for the last photo

seems like your work crush was crushing back on you, huh?

(seems like all of your coworkers knew about it and cancelled last minute on purpose as they've been secretly shipping the two of you and making bets about when you'd finally start dating)

[inamagicalhallucination]

Atsushi’s hands trembled as he waited for the phone to be answered. He hoped Dazai-san would answer. Atsushi had seen him ignore phone calls often – though he usually picked up for Atsushi (specifically after he hadn’t picked up once when Atsushi had gotten kidnapped (again); though Atsushi hadn’t blamed him because it was 4 am at the time, and Dazai had been, for once, asleep). But Atsushi had watched as Dazai-san hung up (on numbers he had saved), watched them ring (on numbers he was clearly familiar with but were not saved), or turned on his airplane mode. Dazai really avoided phone calls.

Atsushi had a general sense of hope that Dazai wouldn’t ignore him – but he wasn’t calling from his own phone. He didn’t even know where it was.

Instead, Atsushi was in a phone booth; the only light he had was the pale yellow of the streetlight. No one was out and about, all the buildings around him were dark and vacant. Atsushi didn’t know where he was.

He didn’t know how he’d gotten here.

Had he been kidnapped? He couldn’t remember. The last thing he remembered was walking home after work. If he’d been kidnapped perhaps his memory had been wiped. Still, even if it was nice to try and think of a logical solution, it did not settle the eerie unease he felt. 

Especially since he didn’t feel injured. Perhaps Byakko had overtaken… but his clothes were unharmed minus a few dirt stains here and there. He looked… he felt…

He hoped Dazai-san picked up.

He looked around, wishing he could recognize something, anything – just a trigger. Something that would bring back…

“‘ello?” an achingly familiar voice mumbled, half asleep. Atsushi almost sobbed in relief.

“Da-Dazai-san?”

A pause and some shuffling.

“Atsushi? What number is this? Why aren’t you calling from your phone?” Atsushi felt a sob slip past his lips. His shaking wavered at Dazai’s voice though. 

“Atsushi?” Dazai sounded really uncomfortable. If Atsushi had had the energy to think about it, he’d laugh at Dazai’s inability to deal with emotions.

“Daz-Dazai-san,” he wailed, not being able to push all the words and worries he had out in the open. 

He felt like a child.

“Atsushi? What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“I-I,” he took in a deep breath before forcing himself to continue, “I don't know-know whe-re I am– I- I ca-can’t re-member anything.”

There was a pause again and then shuffling.

“Ah, I see,” Dazai said, voice suddenly light. “Atsushi-kun got lost!”

Atsushi sniffled miserably.

“And needs his big, great, strong mentor to come rescue him!” 

Even through his tears, Atsushi snorted. He wiped at his eyes – his hands weren’t shaking anymore.

“Do you recognize any buildings?” 

Atsushi shook his head, remembered himself, and mumbled ‘no’.

“That’s fine,” Dazai continued, “for an amazing mentor– no for an amazing beam of existence such as myself– this is no challenge! Can you read any signs? On buildings or on the street?”

That, Atsushi could do. 

He looked around, wiped his eyes again so his vision wouldn’t be tear-blurry, and called for Byakko’s vision just in case. He muttered off any sign he could catch until Dazai hummed and said he was on his way.

“You know wh-where I’m at?” Atsushi asked.

“Yeah,” Dazai said, absentmindedly, “I tried to sell Kunikida-kun coke there.” 

He hung up before Atsushi could ask.

Atsushi squatted down, resting his arms and head on his knees. He was trying to calm himself before Dazai showed up. Though he’d pulled from Byakko again, transforming his ears, to make sense of any noise that could indicate Dazai. 

When Dazai came, after half an hour or perhaps an hour, or perhaps even 10 minutes, Atsushi sent him a wobbly smile. He didn’t offer anything else and Dazai didn’t ask. Not about why he was there or why he was curled up on the seat during the car ride.

Nor did he comment on Atsushi’s grip on his jacket as they left the car. 

He simply let Atsushi follow him back to his own apartment as if it was a perfectly normal thing for him to do.

The next day, when he cautiously approached Ranpo, hoping to get some insight into his potential kidnapping and memory loss, he was met with strangely sad green eyes as Ranpo assured him that he hadn’t been kidnapped at all. Instead, Ranpo said, he should go see Yosano. 

He lingered at her door but shrugged it off. He had probably transformed. Yeah, that was it. He just needed to focus more.

Ranpo stared at him as he walked back to his desk, but did not say anything. 

When he sat down, Dazai reached one long leg over to tap his foot but also did not say anything.

/

Atsushi ignored it for a week.

Then he found himself blinking around in a vaguely familiar alleyway, trying to figure out what had happened. He looked around, trying to remember how he’d gotten here. He scrunched his eyes shut, desperately trying to remember his last memories but it was all a blank from him leaving his apartment in the morning.

Atsushi shuddered, trying to calm himself.

This was okay.

It was probably Byakko. He just needed to breathe, he needed to calm down.

Breathe.

Breathe…

Just breathe-

“Weretiger?” 

Atsushi spun around, hands flinging into a defense position. He was greeted by yellow hair.

“H-Higuchi?” he blinked, taking in the confused frown on his old attacker’s face.

“What are you doing in mafia territory?” she asked, looking around cautiously, perhaps checking if he was alone. For a moment he pondered if she was here on purpose… was it a coincidence? The mafia had tried to capture him before. Perhaps they’d done it again. Perhaps they’d been behind the other day too… but the alliance… would they risk it?

Before he could work himself up though, Higuchi’s name was called by a voice that should have filled Atsushi with dread.

Instead, though, it washed over him in relief, in familiarity. He didn’t know Higuchi well. Only meeting her when Akutagawa was there or that memorable time they had stalked Gin.

But Akutagawa… He was familiar. He’d know where Atsushi was. He’d-

“Jinko?” Akutagawa scowled at him. His coat rippled. Atsushi almost sobbed, half delirious in relief, half upset at himself for somehow associating Akutagawa with safety. 

Rashomon reached out but faltered as Akutagawa (and Higuchi) stared at him with wide eyes.

“Um… are you crying?” Higuchi asked tentatively. She shifted awkwardly. 

“Ak-Akutagawa,” Atsushi cried out, reaching up to pat his eyes dry and getting frustrated when more tears spilled.

Akutagawa, for his part, was looking around the alley, looking as if his skin was being peeled off and clearly looking to run away.

If he ran away though, Atsushi would lose his sense of familiarity, his grounding. He stumbled forward. Scared, an expression Atsushi had never seen on him before, Akutagawa stepped back. 

Akutagawa had, embarrassingly, seen Atsushi cry before. So his disturbed act was a little confusing. Usually, he’d scoff at him. 

Though perhaps Atsushi looking at him like he was his only lifeline was what had him freaked out. Atsushi shuffled forward. Akutagawa took another step back. Atsushi shuffled forward more, reaching a trembling hand to grip at Akutagawa’s coat. Akutagawa turned wild eyes at Higuchi who looked just as lost. 

“Ple-please, tak-take me,” Atsushi sniffled again, “...home.” Back at the agency, where he was safe, and not confused. Where it was familiar and warm. Where he should’ve talked to Yosano but didn’t and ended up here. 

He couldn’t remember-

“Uh,” Akutagawa said, reaching out a hand, stopping mid-way, and then continuing to awkwardly pat at Atsushi’s hand, perhaps subtly telling him to let the fuck go, “sure?”

“I’ll take care of the rest… I mean we’re almost done since Senpai was so quick!” Higuchi said, lacking her usual bright tone, instead sounding awkward and as if she was covering up that awkwardness.

Atsushi nodded miserably and leaned forward, burying his head in Akutagawa’s coat, trying to keep his focus on his very real, tangible form and not the confusion in his head. Akutagawa coughed.

Higuchi coughed too. Then Atsushi listened to her footsteps leaving, pausing every now and then, but continuing forward anyway.

“Jinko…” Akutagawa coughed again, “Release me, you fool.”

It seemed his confusion had left. And his Akutagawa-ness had come back.

“No,” Atsushi said. Akutagawa reached out both arms and grabbed his shoulders to push him back. Atsushi struggled for a second, before grabbing his wrist. Akutagawa glared at him. Atsushi stared at him.

Akutagawa turned around and started to stomp away, his wrist still in Atsushi’s grasp.

Atsushi stumbled over his feet, half walking and half running to keep up. However, Akutagawa’s quick pace worked in his favor as they arrived at the familiar bricked building in no time. Akutagawa stood in front of the door of the building. Atsushi stood next to him. Akutagawa gestured to the door. Atsushi stared at him.

“Walk.” Akutagawa said through gritted teeth, “Through.”

But…

But Atsushi had just been outside these doors last time… he’d gotten out, and walked to his apartment… and then it had been night and he’d been sobbing in a payphone booth, hoping Dazai would come soon.

Atsushi’s grip tightened. Akutagawa glared at him as if he was everything wrong in the world, but opened the door and walked in, anyway. Atsushi’s grip tightened more, causing Akutagawa, who was about to stop walking in the cafe, to falter for a second before he continued on. Up the stairs, through the hallway… and in front of the doors.

Akutagawa opened the door, ripped his wrist out of Atsushi's grip, and pushed him in.

He was greeted by looks of relief.

“Atsushi…” Kyouka’s voice came. He turned towards her. She was looking at him with concern, glancing at where Akutagawa had stood only seconds ago.

“I’m-I’m fine,” Atsushi tried to smile. Her frown deepened. “I, uh, I got lost.”

“Lost?” Junichiro chimed in, looking equally confused and relieved.

“Yeah… uh…” He didn’t have to make up an excuse as Naomi spoke up.

“I see,” she said, giving him a shaky smile that betrayed her own worries, “we never really gave you a proper tour of Yokohama. How silly of us!”

Kunikida, who had been looking between him and Ranpo, coughed once. “Yes, that was forgetful of us. I will add it to our schedule.”

Like that the tension…. Well, it didn’t break. It still lingered. But it seemed everyone was willing to give him space. He appreciated it. He needed to work up the courage to tell Yosano that he… that something was happening.

He hadn’t been kidnapped…

He hadn’t transformed… it was hard for the tiger to overtake in the middle of the day, like today. 

So…

It wasn’t as if Atsushi’s memory was strong. Heck, he hadn’t even remembered he’d killed someone before. At least until Shibusawa had somehow come back to life and had to be killed again. But that had been a traumatic experience and everyone had said it was probably an subconscious attempt to bury it because he couldn’t emotionally or mentally handle it at the time. But what was traumatic about walking?

Atsushi hesitantly walked towards Yosano’s office.

[yuesya]

As a sorcerer, Shiki is no stranger to dealing with unexpected situations on her assignments. It’s easy for missions to go awry, and a sorcerer must be able to adapt to the rapidly-changing circumstances –or die, usually.

Being stranded in a different world is still stretching things, though.

Shiki is not in the habit of lying to herself. Especially not when the truth is clear to see. Perhaps there are places in China where wild mint grows tall enough to cover a young child’s height, but she’s fairly certain that slimes and burrowing dragon-creatures are not part of the local wildlife in any place on Earth. And that’s not even mentioning the strange elemental flowers that tunnel easily through the earth to launch aggressive surprise attacks…

But the young man traveling with them is clearly used to dealing with such creatures. Xiao dispatches anything that attacks them with ease, unwaveringly calm and brutally efficient. Shiki thinks that he might be the most skillful spear-user that she’s ever seen –not that there are very many sorcerers who wield spears, most preferring swords as Shiki does. But there’s still something about the way with which the young man wields his weapon that hints at a preternatural grace, even by a sorcerer’s standards.

… Even compared with Satoru-niichan’s movements, which is a little alarming to consider. But it does explain how he’d killed Patch-face with minimal injury to himself.

Shiki readjusts her grip on Muta-san, taking a moment to reinforce her body with cursed energy to restore her flagging strength. Physical power is not her strong suit, and Muta-san is heavy, especially with the increased mass from his… transformation, courtesy of the late Patch-face. She’d actually ended up cutting off another portion of his monstrous body in order to make it easier to carry him around with her, but now she’s wondering if she should’ve cut off a larger portion of his dismembered torso…

Shiki had been careful to avoid severing any of Muta-san’s lines, and her cursed technique lapse would prevent him from dying on her. Shoko-san should be able to put him back together and keep him alive, right?

… Although, it’s not as if Shiki can call Shoko-san for assistance right now, what with the current issue of being in another world and all.

She supposes that it’s fortunate she encountered Xiao, who both speaks Japanese –somehow, inexplicably, although the accent is a little strange– and is amenable to lending his assistance, even despite the entire mess with the Special Grade cursed spirits.

He’d fallen silent for a moment after Shiki explained her situation.

“… It would be remiss of me to ignore your situation, considering the circumstances,” he’d finally said. “I do not have the solution to your problem, but… perhaps the other adepti would. I will guide you to Jueyun Karst. Consider it repayment for protecting the people of Liyue, when it was not your responsibility to do so.”

“I am a sorcerer. It’s a sorcerer’s duty to fight curses and protect humans.”

A lesson, a mantra that’s been drilled into her since childhood. The response is reflexive, almost.

Xiao had nodded silently, with a faint flicker of something in sharp golden eyes that made it clear he also understood, then turned and beckoned her to follow.

Uttara Phalguni

The twelfth nakshatra

Degrees: from 26°40' Leo zodiac to 10 °00' of Virgo zodiac

The ruler of nakshatra: Sun (sans. Surya)

Nakshatra's guna: rajas (human)

Uttara Phalguni keywords: leadership, creativity, responsibility, sociability, nurturing, ambition, contracts, comfort-seeking, social responsibility, diplomacy, artistic flair, generosity, warm-heartedness, harmonious partnerships, critical thinking, realistic life approach (Virgo's influence)

Symbol: a bed ( especially rear marriage bed and bed legs) or a hammock, representing relaxation, enjoyment, and union

Uttara Phalguni's deity is Aryaman, one of the Adityas*, associated with contracts, unions, and agreements. Aryaman signifies the bond between people and the responsibilities in relationships.

(*In the Hindu pantheon, the Adityas are a group of deities, often depicted as the sons of the solar goddess Aditi. They are divine creatures associated with various aspects of nature and celestial phenomena. Among the most notable Adityas there are Surya (the Sun god), Varuna (the god of water and oceans), Mitra (the god of friendship and contracts), Aryaman (the god of contracts and unions), and others)).

Uttara Phalguni in various planets

Sun in Uttara Phalguni: brings strong leadership qualities, creativity, and warmth, making individuals suitable for roles that require authority and inspiration. They excel in leadership positions, such as CEOs or team leaders, where they can confidently lead others towards success. Their natural talents fit in fields like art, design, or entertainment, where they can express themselves with originality and flair. However, they may need to guard against tendencies towards dominance or ego issues, ensuring they maintain humility and openness to feedback and criticism. their warmth and generosity, impatience and need for recognition can sometimes pose challenges, requiring them to cultivate patience and inner security. Education, event planning, or hospitality professions align well with their nurturing and supportive nature, allowing them to create welcoming environments and inspire others.

Moon in Uttara Phalguni: Following a Moon in Magha's royal placement and a Moon in Purva Phalguni's creative mindset, Moon in Uttara Phalguni indicates a tendency towards diligence and executing plans. With its span extending into Virgo, this Moon is known for analysis and perfectionism, and individuals may display analytical prowess and a penchant for precision. Proficiency in negotiations and deals is likely, with potential career paths in finance or law, albeit requiring substantial effort to ascend. They exhibit a pragmatic outlook on life, possibly perceived as astute or shrewd by others. While those on the Leo side may aspire for authority through diligent effort, those on the Virgo side are driven solely by the pursuit of perfection. However, the Virgo influence may also foster a sense of facing more challenges compared to others. This diligent and perfectionist streak is often inherited from the mother.

Mars in Uttara Phalguni: infuses individuals with passionate energy, drive, and a strong sense of duty. They possess a competitive spirit and are determined to achieve their goals through hard work and perseverance. Their leadership qualities shine through as they take charge and inspire others with their enthusiasm and charisma. With a focus on creative expression and innovation, they excel in fields that require dynamic problem-solving and strategic thinking, such as entrepreneurship, engineering, or sports management. However, they may need to temper their assertiveness and impatience at times, learning to channel their energy constructively and collaborate effectively with others.

Mercury in Uttara Phalguni: imbues individuals with strong communication skills, a sharp intellect, and a nurturing disposition. They excel in negotiating and mediating conflicts, often finding balanced solutions that benefit all parties involved. With a creative flair and a love for beauty, they may pursue careers in fields such as writing, design, or the arts, where they can express themselves effectively. Their warm-hearted nature and diplomatic approach make them valuable team members and mentors, fostering supportive and harmonious relationships in their personal and professional lives. However, they may need to guard against being overly critical or perfectionistic, learning to balance their analytical abilities with empathy and understanding.

Jupiter in Uttara Phalguni: bestows individuals with a generous spirit, wisdom, and a sense of justice. They possess a natural inclination towards supporting and uplifting others, often taking on roles as mentors, teachers, or counsellors where they can share their knowledge and guidance. Their expansive vision and optimism drive them to pursue noble causes and humanitarian efforts, seeking to create positive change in their communities. With a strong moral compass, they uphold principles of fairness and integrity in all their endeavours. Jupiter's influence here also enhances their leadership abilities, as they inspire trust and confidence in others through their benevolent and inclusive approach. However, they may need to guard against becoming overly idealistic or self-righteous, remembering to stay grounded and practical in their pursuits.

Venus in Uttara Phalguni: signifies a fusion of commitment, generosity, and a sense of responsibility especially within relationships (including spousal). Individuals are passionate about socializing, unions, friendships and relationships. With a magnetic charisma and a knack for diplomacy, they excel in roles that require interpersonal skills, such as counselling, event planning, or customer service. However, they may need to guard against tendencies towards indulgence or superficiality, ensuring that they maintain balance and discernment in their pursuits of pleasure and comfort. Venus in Uttara Phalguni individuals generally radiate grace and elegance, bringing harmony and joy to both their personal and professional lives.

Saturn in Uttara Phalguni: grants individuals a strong sense of responsibility, discipline, and practicality. They approach life with a structured mindset, preferring order and stability in their endeavours. Patient and persevering, they are willing to invest the necessary time and effort to achieve their goals. Their diligent work ethic and attention to detail make them reliable and dependable, often excelling in roles that require precision and methodical planning. However, they may need to guard against tendencies towards rigidity or pessimism (the nature of nakshatra's ruler Sun is opposite to the nature of Saturn), learning to embrace flexibility and adaptability when faced with change or uncertainty.

Rahu in Uttara Phalguni: brings a unique blend of energies, often associated with desires for recognition, ambition, and creativity. Individuals with this placement may possess a strong drive to achieve success and attain status in their chosen endeavours. They may be drawn to roles that allow them to shine in the spotlight, such as performing arts, politics, or leadership positions. However, there can also be a tendency towards self-centeredness or manipulation in the pursuit of their goals. They need to cultivate humility and integrity, balancing their ambition with consideration for others. Rahu's influence here can enhance their creative talents and innovative thinking, but they may need to guard against impulsiveness or overindulgence.

Ketu in Uttara Phalguni: indicates an individual with a strong sense of duty and responsibility, often drawn towards serving others or contributing to the community. These individuals may have a deep inner wisdom and a spiritual outlook on life, seeking to find meaning and purpose beyond material pursuits. They may struggle with feelings of isolation or a sense of being misunderstood by others. It's important for them to cultivate self-awareness and inner peace, embracing their unique perspective while also remaining open to connecting with others on a deeper level. Good placement for scholars, occult science, astrology, and astronomy. An individual might become a clerk, stenographer, typist, computer operator or governmental servant.

Top 5 meals/food-related moments?

have a good day :)

oh ho ho ho so I see you have decided on a nuclear option. Well, do I have just the thing for you

Kayoko telling Kenji that Shiro Talks About Him in What Did You Eat Yesterday? Season 2, Ep. 11

Shiro has a really hard time verbally expressing love, especially about Kenji to Kenji. Which is why you, me, Kenji, everybody has to understand Food As Love is Shiro's entire shtick. In season 1, Shiro outed himself to Kayoko because she thought he might attack her and she calmed down about Shiro immediately after she found out he was a lawyer. And we see Kayoko ask Shiro about Kenji from time to time. BUT in Season 2, Kayoko sees Kenji in the supermarket and instantly recognizes him off of Shiro's description of him alone. And she treats him like a celebrity because of how much Shiro talks about Kenji. So you can imagine that I was absolutely bawling my fucking eyes out when Kayoko said this to Kenji at dinner:

"But you know, I already knew your preferences so well. When I go shopping with Kakei-san, he talks about you all the time...He says it with a smile"

Complete with flashbacks of Shiro talking about Kenji, what food he likes, why it's okay to get something a little more expensive. Kenji is a loud, proud, more femme gay man who is not able to hide his queerness the way that Shiro has. Kenji is also an incredibly patient and understanding man who knows Shiro is grappling with a lot of internalized homophobia, the weight of knowing he can't give his parents the grandchildren they want, parents who struggle with his sexuality. Kenji knows that Shiro loves him, but we know he can be hurt by it sometimes. So Kenji hearing from Kayoko how much Shiro talks about him was something that was so fucking needed. Not necessary, but needed. And I could not hold back my tears to see Shiro smiling away talking to Kayoko about his boyfriend, because he has so few people he can and will do that with.

Making "Magic", Our Dining Table (Bokura No Shoutaku), Ep. 5

gif by @bubblegeon

gif by @troubled-mind

Absolutely one of my favorite moments in the entire series is Tane appearing with this instant ramen package in his hand asking if Minoru wants to make "magic". I love it for so many reasons. I love it because Minoru has sacrificed so much in his life to help take care of Tane and because of that, because of who Minoru is, because of who his father is, because of who his mother is Tane is an extremely extremely emotionally aware kid. My sweet, sweet, beautiful baby boy can tell something is up with Yutaka after they run in to his older brother at the grocery store, and he can tell something is up with Minoru after they meet with his ex-girlfriend at the restaurant. And Tane repays all the care he is giving by these two by trying to find a solution he thinks will help make them feel better. Which is of course to make ramen fried rice.

Now. There is even more to this than Tane just picking up this meal his mother used to make a lot. Because Tane's mother died when he was two. He would have little to no memories of his mother, but Minoru would. Which means Minoru would have had to teach him this, carrying on her memories, her stories, her comfort to his baby brother. Minoru teaches Tane how to smash the ramen the same way their mother taught Minoru to do it. AND there is even more to this that is not really addressed but is something I (and I'm sure others) realized a bit later. Because I have made this meal multiple times and it is...so easy. I mean, 20 minutes rice in the rice cooker the day before, smash the noodles, I microwave them for 3 minutes, drain the water, and then five minutes later I've got a complete dish. It takes almost zero energy and it is great for my high pain days or my super low days. Minoru talks about his mother being sick, and how she really didn't let on to it. But the ramen fried rice is a good indication to me that she was hiding her exhaustion, her illness, her pain with fun, easy meals like this that require minimal effort and energy.

Amane having dinner with Ryuji's family, If It's With You (Kimi to Nara Koi Wo Shite Mite Mo), Ep. 3

gif by @jimmysea

I will never not love characters who are deeply deeply sad and hide the pain they've suffered and the melancholy they carry with them behind kindness and smiles and light. Amane brightens up every room he walks in to...well, every room that has anyone else but Ryuji in it. Ryuji is incredibly incredibly good at seeing straight through to Amane's core and calling him out on trying to hide himself and his feelings away. But here, in Ryuji's home Amane is well and truly feeling happy. He is understanding what family can look like, what family can feel like. Something he has never known because his parents worked so much he always ate alone. Amane deserves to experience these things, and I am so glad that he was able to have this moment because if and when Ryuji gets comfortable with dating Amane and brings him home again, it's good to know that Ryuji's family is kind and that they already know him, love him, and are comfortable enough to tease him immediately so Amane won't have to worry about their reaction.

Charn eating with Tinn's family, Laws of Attraction, Ep. 5

The fucking!!!!!!! GAHHH!! As much as we have all obsessed over the chemistry between Jam and Film, how hot Maya and Rose are, how unhinged Charn are Nawin are, how fucking awesome the grandmother is, we really do not talk enough about the fact that Laws of Attraction is first and foremost a tragedy. In the short time we had with her we knew Tonkhao was happy, and funny, and loved and she was just trying to help ease the burden her uncle had by going shopping for him and died as a result. That's Tinn's baby girl, he's raised her since infancy, and he lost her in such a horrific way. I reblogged something about grief the other day that talked about how grief in fiction and grief in reality are so different because grief in reality is so mundane, your world may be turning on it's axis but you still have to go grocery shopping. Stories like this one do more to bridge that gap, Tonkhao is dead, but you still have to find a lawyer, Tonkhao is dead but you still have to run your restaurant, Tonkhao is dead...Tonkhao is dead. And her memory and the love her family had for her is being tarnished in the news, this familly's grief is on full display, is questioned, is attacked. And I really loved this moment and the conversation that Charn has with Tinn immediately afterwards where Tinn talks about Tonkhao and how he wants her to be remembered, and I love this so deeply for what it shows about grief. That you can't just turn it on and off, here they are: grandma, Tinn, and Charn in a good mood, chatting away and then all of a sudden watching Charn eat and enjoy the soup just triggers a memory of Tonkhao that brings a ton of pain bubbling to the surface out of nowhere. Tonkhao haunts the narrative, even after justice has been served, she is still there with them, her little doll sitting in a chair at Tinn and Charn's wedding.

Jim shares a beer with Li Ming, Moonlight Chicken, Ep. 7

There is something about the death of a community pillar rocks the community at large, and how the tragedy and grief of losing someone that important to so many people can finally spur people in to action. Jim has been watching Li Ming grow up before his very eyes, but he's like many other parent/guardians and has spent so much of the show having difficulty coming to terms with the fact that Li Ming is growing up. Jim spends so much of his time stressing out about Li Ming, his financial situation changed dramatically probably right around the time he took Li Ming in, Jim is worried about how much Li Ming has struggled and may continue to struggle and is having a hard time not blaming himself for that. And finally we get the release of the all the stress and tension with Jim acknowledging Li Ming is stepping in to adulthood. I love everything about this scene, I love the acknowledgement, I love the apology, I love Jim teasing Li Ming about Heart, and I especially love the conversation about Jam because I think it shows Jim that Li Ming is capable of complex, nuanced, adult thoughts and feelings. He helped with the funeral, he stood up in support of Heart, he talked back against injustice, Li Ming spent so much of this show coming in to his own, and this is the moment all that work, misery, stress, anger bears fruit for the single most important relationship in Li Ming's life.

[inmydelusionalera]

How would ATEEZ react to you crying?

Genre: fluffy

Warnings/triggers: N/A

Gender: Any

I couldn't find gifs of all the members hugging so I apologise in advance lol.

Hongjoong

Hongjoong is more of a listener than a talker so this effects the way in which he'll comfort you. As soon as he notices you crying, he feels remorseful, even if he's done nothing wrong. He'll reach out to you to let you know he's there for you and he may even pull you into a tight hug if he feels you need it. He's not the best at comforting, but he'll definitely try his best to make sure you're ok.

Seonghwa

Seonghwa would approach you carefully so he doesn't make the situation worse- his maternal mothering side definitely kicks in. With his soothing and calming voice, he'd ask if you were ok and would offer a listening ear. Seonghwa would constantly reassure you that what you're feeling is normal and that he won't leave you until he knows you'll be ok. His maternal energy definitely makes you feel safe.

Yunho

Yunho would be slightly shocked when he first sees you crying but he'll instantly go into protective mode. His way of comforting you is listening to what you have to say whilst giving you a bear hug. He'll want to shield you from whatever is making you upset and he'll use his goofy side to find a way to take your mind off of it. He has a very caring presence so it won't take long until you feel ok again.

Yeosang

When Yeosang notices you crying, he would appraoch you silently. He'd offer a gentle smile to let you know he's there and offer his hand, encouraging them to confide in him. His soothing presence would be comforting, and he'd listen to you with no judgement. After you've finished talking, he'd provide you with reasonable ways to overcome the problem you're facing.

San

San's empathetic nature would kick in once he notices that you're crying. He'd be worried and his first instinct is to calm you down, whilst simultaneously wiping away your tears. Like Yunho, his protective side would kick in and he'd want to get to the bottom of your problems and find a solution as soon as possible. San hates seeing you sad and would do anything to see you smile again.

Mingi

Mingi would tilt his head when he sees you crying, trying to understand the situation. He would move closer to you and offer you a shoulder to cry on. Once you've finished crying, he'd ask you what happened and would reassure you that you're not alone and that he'd help you overcome the situation. Mingi would offer unconditional support and hug you as long as you need him to.

Wooyoung

Wooyoung would first tease you as he wouldn't realise the seriousness of the situation. But as soon as he understands that you need comforting, he's instantly there for you and hold you in a tight embrace. He won't let you go until you've stopped crying and he'll ask you what's wrong. Wooyoung will apologise for his actions in the beginning and will stay by your side for the rest of the day.

Jongho

Jongho is a silent comforter and will give you space to calm down. When you've either calmed down or asked him to comfort you, he'll gently approach you and pull you into his strong arms. He won't rush you into telling you what happened. He lets you know that it's up to you as to when you feel ready to speak to him and Jongho lets you know that he's there for you and will do what you need him to.

ATEEZ Friendship synastry

- Seonghwa and Hongjoong -

Just for fun. Not a professional. May change later.

Seonghwa - Hongjoong

Sun trine Mercury (6°) - Mutual understanding and interests between the two. Seonghwa can express his thoughts and ideas freely with Hongjoong, who can turn them into tangible working ideas.

Jupiter trine Sun (0°) - The two view each other very positively and are often genuinely happy to be around each other. They can help each other build each other's self confidence up. They like to learn about each other's beliefs and values. Can learn new things from each other and expand each other's minds.

Venus trine Moon (1°) - Very compatible placement. They are sensitive and receptive to each other's feelings. Hongjoong feels emotionally comfortable with Seonghwa, so he is able to provide the emotional care and support for Seonghwa, while Seonghwa is able to provide the love and care Hongjoong needs. They reciprocate a lot of love and care to each other.

Jupiter trine Venus (2°) - This aspect focuses a lot on collaboration, cooperation, and growth. Prosperity and happiness matters deeply to them, so the two help each other to achieve both. Seonghwa can help provide wisdom to Hongjoong when he needs it.

AC opp AC (3°) - Interesting how their rising signs are sister signs...That likely drew them to each other. Sister signs are opposite yet similar to each other. Hwa as a Cancer rising has a softer and gentler appearance compared to Hongjoong's Capricorn rising. Hwa is motherly, while Hongjoong is fatherly. In the end, both prioritize caring and helping their loved ones, just in different ways. They may conflict on how to deal with certain situations and issues as they have different solutions. However, they are likely to still work through it despite the differences and learn to compromise when necessary.

AC trine Venus (5°) - There is a natural connection here, which makes the two easygoing with each other. They are quite in tune with each other.

Sun, Mercury, Venus, Pluto in 5th - Hongjoong really adores Seonghwa, especially with his Venus in Hwa's 5th house. Venus person views house person with a lot of love and admiration. Hwa is simply perfect to him (if it helps, San has this with Yeosang as well - his Venus is in Yeo's 5th and he has very much made it clear he loves Yeo lol). Mercury in 5th shows the two enjoy talking to each other, it makes their day. Conversations can never get boring between the two.

Sun in 5th signifies unconditional love and shared interests/creativity, which I can see in their shared interests in arts - especially fashion. Hongjoong loves reforming and styling clothes, even eventually getting noticed by Balmain. Hwa has openly expressed his interests in more feminine clothing and has recently worn a dress in the Elle photoshoot; Hwa is also learning to do his own makeup. Pluto in 5th can also indicate the pursuit of creativity together.

Moon in 6th - Hwa likes caring for Hongjoong, both emotionally and with mundane daily tasks. The two can learn to develop healthy habits and routine.

Venus in 1st - Hwa likes Hongjoong's style and/or physical look overall. He likely finds him to be elegant and lovely with creative fashion taste and style.

Mercury in 3rd - Seems like a talkative placement. He loves talking to Hongjoong lol. It just seems like the two just love to talk to each other about anything under the sun. They likely clicked very easily in their first few meetings.

Overall their synastry is very harmonious. Their energies flow very well together.

Gargoyle's Cry 35.0.3

Tenno: The following Operation is designed for players who have finished the “Whispers in the Walls” quest. Review at your discretion!********

OPERATION: Gargoyle’s Cry

“Your attention, please.

The Murmur threat demands immediate action. Our first order of business must be surveillance. An early detection system lest we be caught sans trousers.

You would agree that a Vigile Jahu Gargoyle installed within each Tenno Dojo is the obvious solution. Not a whisper could be uttered in the system without the connected Dojos overhearing it first.

Your compliance is appreciated. The Vigile Jahu Gargoyle awaits you within your Dojo - simply place it as a Decoration. The enemy does not hesitate. We must do no less.” - Fibonacci

The Murmur encroaches on our systems, Tenno. The Whispers beyond the Wall are a new threat; we must ensure they stay confined to Albrecht’s Laboratory.

Operation: Gargoyle’s Cry is a limited-time event launching today,December 18 at 2 p.m. ET and ending on January 15, 2 p.m. ET across all platforms.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Murmur continues to scrape deeper into our realm of existence. Having devised a solution to detect such whispers, Fibonacci won’t allow such trespassing to threaten our system.

This Operation relies on Tenno across the Origin System to construct an invisible ‘living defense’ against the growing Murmur threat.

To join this living defense, or ‘Murmur Telemetry Chorus,’ you must hunt down the power source that’ll continuously power your Vigile Jahu Gargoyle. Fight against the ominous Murmur to earn new and returning rewards from previous Operations.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Operation: Gargoyle’s Cry is no small task. Only those who have finished the “Whispers in the Wall” Quest can join and complete the event and the associated Mission. This event is for players on-content.

After finishing the “Whispers in the Wall” Quest, Tenno will find a Vigile Jahu Gargoyle decoration to place within their Dojo. This will require a member of your Clan to be capable of placing down decorations, which players will then build via resources gathered from Albrecht’s Laboratories. Once all the resources are contributed, the Gargoyle only takes 60 seconds to build.

Tenno must then complete the Effervo Mission on Deimos to collect Cursed Murmur Energy to activate the Gargoyle. You’ll acquire this energy by defeating one of the Fragmented Trio, with the whole squad earning one of three curses:

Curse of Knowing from The Fragmented Suzerain,

Curse of Seeing from The Fragmented Anchorite,

Curse of Hearing from The Fragmented Zelator.

You’ll acquire only a singular amount of one type of Curse on Normal Path but double of one Curse on Steel Path. Curse acquisition is unaffected by Resource Boosters.

The Murmur is not the only threat, however. Void Angels have breached the in-between of the Laboratories and The Indifference, desiring to consume the Cursed energy. If you do not kill the Angel lurking around, it will consume the Curse dropped by the Assassination Target, leaving you Curseless.

Return to your Dojo afterwards to lift your curse by feeding it to the Gargoyle. Spend time with your new decoration, as the Gargoyle is also a vendor, allowing you to purchase new and returning Operation items while netting progress towards the community reward.

Seek and destroy, Tenno. Uphold the living defense.

(VIDEO DEMONSTRATION OF EVENT)

OPERATION REWARDS

When you defeat one of the Fragmented Trio, you’ll acquire the event currency: Grotesque Splinters. 1-3 Grotesque Splinters are earned on normal difficulty and 3-5 on Steel Path.

Fibonacci beckons your safe return to your Vigile Jahu Gargoyle to spend your yield of Grotesque Splinters. You’ll acquire rewards like new Entrati Sigils, a Color Palette and returning rewards from events like Operation: Scarlet Spear.

New Cosmetics

Fibonacci Sigil

Fibonacci Sketch Glyph

Tagfer Sigil

Tagfer Sketch Glyph

Bird 3 Sigil

Bird 3 Sketch Glyph

Gargoyle’s Cry Emblem

New Color Palette: Cavia

Krios Signa

Returning Cosmetics

Gilded Clan Sigil

Glyphed Clan Sigil

Phased Clan Sigil

Prominence Wisp Totem

Fluctus Rahk Skin

The Ballroom Simulacrum

Weapons and Power

Ceti Lacera Blueprint

Basmu Blueprint

Stance Forma Blueprint

Trials/Eidolon Arcanes

Not all rewards are warranted by Fibonacci’s hand (or fin...). This is a communal effort, Tenno. Each feed to the Gargoyle strengthens the community, resulting in the new Krios Signa debuting from the Void into your Arsenal. If the goal is met, the Signa can be purchased from the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle Vendor!

The Vendor store will be open until February 15, 2024.

SCORING AND FEEDING

Trophies earned are determined by how often your clan fully feeds your Vigile Jahu Gargoyle with Cursed Murmur Energy before each Weekly Reset (Monday at 0 UTC).

Terracotta is one full feed, Bronze is two full feeds, Silver is three full feeds, and Gold is four full feeds. One full charge depends on the size of your Clan. A full charge for a Ghost Clan is two of each Curse, with Shadow Clans needing six of each Curse, Storm will need ten, Mountain thirty and Moon at one hundred of each Curse.

TL;DR:

Once the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle is constructed in the Dojo, Clans will fully feed it with Cursed Murmur Energy from the Effervo Mission to enable the living defense.

Feed your Gargoyle before the weekly reset for four weeks to keep the Gargoyle fully fed and earn a trophy, depending on the number of charges added.

Each full feed adds to unlocking the community reward.

All Operation Rewards can be purchased from the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle for Grotesque Splinters.

THE MURMUR THREAT

On the rare occasions when Murmur fragments assemble themselves into a whole, the result is a monstrous and potent entity. It may manifest in three different forms: The Fragmented Suzerain, The Fragmented Zelator and The Fragmented Anchorite

Together, as heralds of the Indifference, they tether down the Strands of Khra which their bizarre master must travel.

Truth

An old friend of mine has retreated into social isolation, which I could have taken personally. But we've been through a lot together in our lives and I refuse to take anything he does personally. Have to give grace if you want to get it.

He said he wants to get away from the self so influenced by other people and find his center. I think that's a great idea. I'd like to do it myself, but it's a scary thought; even when I'm alone, I'm not truly alone. I reach out to people, I meet new people in virtual spaces, I write stories with others, and always look for social stimulation.

How much of me is 'me'? But, is 'me' something worth defining?

Because for a long time, I've seen myself as a hollow shell battered around by the world, filled up with its energies, emptied, charged up, wrung out, and again and again. I don't like to see myself, because myself is a dragon, a towering egomaniac, a striving and suffering lunatic who hurts herself with the intensity of her ambitions.

The only thing chasing ambition has ever gotten me is pain; I slam into walls and doors, and the faster I'm running, the harder the impact. The smarter I'm being, the further into trouble I get.

My forays into the jungle of American civilization are never productive. They start out hopeful, then end in mutual misery.

You know, I was driving through San Francisco at night last week. I saw billboards advertising not just AI, but digital solutions for AI-generated-image-detection services. Anti-AI. In a sea of lights and concrete, I saw a targeted advertisement as I sat in rush-hour traffic, telling me that I could literally 'find truth' with a product.

And earlier that day, I'd been walking through Yosemite, where the ravens flew by the dozens like bands of kings, with their hooked beaks and proud eyes, their manes of spiky feathers on their chest -- they looked at me and I looked at them. We saw each other, and there was truth there.

And the people who call themselves 'realists' will tell me of the meaninglessness of that experience, that the creature is somehow beneath me, and my deranged mind is deriving meaning from nothing.

Or, if my interpretation of the raven's symbol pleases their vanity, they will feed me scraps and lift me up like a treasured Bug a la some Jack London-esque short story and make me their favorite poet-propagandist. I'll be their truth maker.

And I woke up this morning with the insulin catheter in my abdomen ripped free, something that's never happened before. It was 4 AM. I replaced it without making too much noise and went to write a poem about wanting to sleep that made me cry -- a poem I wish I could share here, but it's going into a collection I intend to publish and therefore in order to sell the rights to print it exclusively it cannot appear in other media.

Well, after writing that poem, and crying, I went back to bed and held my wife. We slept in each other's arms and that's the truth.

Then we were woken up by a call from an unemployment benefits adjudicator who asked very pointed questions about why I left my previous job, opened up old wounds around confusion, anxiety, discrimination, being targeted by malicious parents, and feeling unprotected by admin or HR.

I told my story (again). I told the truth. They, who agreed not to 'contest' unemployment benefits (I suppose that means not filing an appeal for the approval decision) will also tell their truth. But they did not tell me the whole truth when I made the agreement to resign in grace rather than work somewhere I was made to feel so unwelcome. They kept many truths to themselves.

So what is the truth. The truth is that more and more I feel like a gasping animal caught in a net of buzzing light that Just

Won't

Stop

My truth, the thing I know inside me so true and deep, is that when I die, I will hear the sound of wind in trees. It will get louder and louder, until it overtakes me. It will transport me. It is the holiest sound I know. It sounds like the sea. It sounds like the hushings of a loving Universe.

It sounds like the Moon waking me with her light, to kiss me on the brow, and guide me back to sleep, to let me know I am safe and small. Truth.

[just---stuff]

This is going to be a long post

Ok so for a certain time now, I had this idea of turning Sans Au's into human girls, I first started with Ink and Error out of curiosity and now I can't stop, so I'll explain a little bit my reasoning behind every design (in order):

Ink: i wanted to give her like a very clean look with the dominance of fluid lines. The ponytail is supposed to be inspired by the looks of a brush and she kinda gives a main character energy with that hairstyle

Error: so basically since Error is a destroyer of Au's and Ink a protector I gave her features opposite to Ink, her eyelashes are pointy and spread at every direction to show she's kinda chaotic. Also her species (error) are known for being inconsistent so I gave her inconsistent hair types. Her bangs are straight, the hair at the sides of her head are wavy and her puffs are curly (everything comes out naturally)

Swap: so I felt very conflicted about her design since after Ink and Error I didn't had any specific idea for the hairstyle, I just knew I viewed her having a fat but muscular body. I gave her a round babyface to show her tender personality, the eyelashes are also very round to transmit that sensation of being in good hands around her. To show she trains as a royal guard I gave her a scar across her mouth and a bandage. And I gave her a childish hairstyle cause I can't stop being influenced by Blueberry sorry :')

Fell: she accidentally looks like Nimona, I just drew every one of her features sharp to show her edgyness and ofc her haircut had to be rebellious like. Everything pointy

Cross: actually she's the only one who's haircut was planned after designing Ink and Error. It just made sense in my head, she's a royal guard and I feel that having long hair would be a distraction during training/ battle (you know, having annoying hair that cover her eyes by accident). So very short hair is the solution (and she looks very pretty with very short hair). Also I gave her simple eyelashes because of the same reason, I just think that playing it simple is her style

Killer: ok so this time I really didn't knew what to do with her hair XDD, since Killer I started to run out of ideas. But luckily I remembered the concepts of her male human form having black hair shaved on the side and I played with it. Sincerely it looks really good and I think it fits her with a certain "messy" hair (I think the idea of black hair shaved to the side comes from @ itsxroxannex but I'm not sure)

And that's all for now, I already did Dream, Nightmare and Horror, I'm just waiting till I complete the whole page to show it to you guys

I hope you liked my designs, I really worked hard on it to show some diversity, not only with the hairstyle but also the face and nose shapes, I'm sorry if they suffer from same face syndrome but I did my best! ✩

vox in absentia

Tech/Reader | 1.5k | Rated E | afab reader, no y/n, smut, mutual masturbation, voice kink, descriptions of male and female anatomy

Tech has a thing for voices.

read on ao3

The sound of the Marauder’s shutters closing rumbled softly through the empty cockpit. Tech powered down all but the most rudimentary systems - proximity sensors, life support, etc. He had the ship to himself for the next few hours, under the guise of making repairs. His brothers and Omega were off elsewhere, completing their own tasks. And while he had been making repairs, he was finished in enough time to indulge himself.

You were gone, away on a job off-world for a couple of weeks. Tech would not have considered himself to have a particularly high libido, but he realized he had become used to seeing you at least once a week for a friendly ‘get together’, sans clothing. He felt a bit more pent up than he would otherwise, and while it was nothing he couldn’t just power through, he had the time and materials to satisfy himself. Materials he had been holding on to for this exact moment.

When you had mentioned you’d be gone for a bit, he hadn’t thought much of it. However, as your departure drew nearer, he felt himself becoming irritated at the idea of being celibate until you returned. Not irritated at you specifically, but just at the situation as a whole, and perhaps just a little at himself for the dependency.

The two of you weren’t a couple. Neither of you felt it necessary to make that jump. The lives you led did not leave much time for thinking about the future. Both of you knew, deep down, that this was temporary. It was a kind of unspoken agreement, not said so much as felt, in lingering gazes, candid goodbyes, and long nights alone.

You were friends…friends that slept together occasionally. Who promised to tell the other if they were sleeping with anyone else (for health reasons, of course), though neither of you had ever entertained the idea. For you it was mainly a matter of security - Tech, being the first man you slept with, was someone you trusted to guide you through the journey of becoming sexually active. For Tech, it was a matter of familiarity - he was attracted to you, the two of you got along, and you were relatively nearby. Why waste time and energy seeking out different partners if there was someone who could satisfy those urges already accessible?

Solution-focused as ever and faced with the knowledge of impending abstinence, Tech approached you the day before you left with a request.

You had raised a brow at him, hesitancy in your gaze. “You want to record me?”

“Just your voice,” Tech clarified, hands twitching. He had taken some thought into how best to approach this without scaring you off, and he did not want to make you uncomfortable.

“My voice,” you repeated. You knew he liked to collect sounds - he had shown you several of his favorites that he had saved over the years - but could not quite process his intent.

“I mean, I don’t really mind,” you shrugged. “But…why?”

Clearing his throat, Tech kept his gaze steady.

“You are leaving on a job,” he stated.

“Yes,” you affirmed, nodding your head.

“And you will be gone for a while,” he continued. You nodded again, confusion still evident on your face.

“And…” Tech paused, brilliant mind racing with how best to explain his thought process. “I…have a thing. For voices.”

Realization blossomed across your features, your eyes widening and your mouth opening into a small ‘o’. You met his gaze, though he could tell you were fighting the urge to duck your face shyly.

“Your voice, in particular,” Tech rambled on. “I was hoping you’d allow me to record the way you sound under…specific circumstances. Influenced by certain variables.”

The idea of Tech using the sound of you to get himself off was not something you had ever thought of prior to this moment, but you’d be lying if you said you weren’t intrigued.

In the end, you agreed. You asked if you could record something alone and then send it to him, which Tech had no problem with. In fact, the idea of waiting for such a recording was tantalizing in and of itself.

An audio file was pinged to his data pad late the next day. He mused in appreciation at the level of encryption you had placed upon it and even added a few security measures of his own in the interest of your privacy.

He held off on listening to it for a few days. He had his own duties, jobs to complete. And, though he had not anticipated it, just the knowledge of what was waiting for him was heightening the entire experience.

Now, nearly a week into your absence, the anticipation was nearly too much to bear. The mission always came first, the safety of his squad, but now…now he had time.

Tech made sure the audio was connected to his private channel and not the one shared between his squad mates - that would be embarrassing - and settled back on his cot. Queuing up the file, he relaxed and closed his eyes, allowing the sounds to wash over him.

He could hear the rustle of cloth - you must have been on your bed.

“Hi Tech,” you breathed, and a shiver ran down his spine. He hadn’t been lying when he said he had a thing for voices, and hearing you speak to him, recorded purposefully just for him, just for the purpose of his pleasure was wickedly delicious.

“I’ve never done this before,” you murmured coquettishly, and his lips quirked up into a small smile. “So if it’s not good, maybe next time you can give me a lesson on what exactly you’re looking for?”

His cock twitched at your suggestion. “Vixen,” Tech groaned quietly, hand coming up to palm himself lightly over his blacks. Your shyness was genuine, as was your eagerness - a combination of traits he found particularly enticing about you.

More rustling, and he imagined you settling yourself into a similar position to his own.

A soft sigh, and the sound of skin running over skin. You had told him that you did not have much experience in self-pleasure, but Tech could tell your confidence was growing every time you slept together. You were learning what you liked, and now he was hearing the results of his labor of instruction.

He reaches into his blacks, pulling out his hardening cock, and gives it a slow pump. In his ears is the soft sound of your smooth skin, quiet squeaks and whimpers. When one of your moans is cut off he knows it’s because you’ve bit down on your lip, brow furrowed in concentration.

“When I touch myself,” you whisper, and Tech holds his breath to hear you better - “I think about you.”

He imagines you pinching one of your nipples into a hard peak, the flesh there sensitive. He knows you like it when he pays attention to you there.

“And knowing that you’re listening to me, getting off to the thought of me,” you breathe out with a gasp, and Tech squeezes the leaking head of his cock in response. “It…feels good, Tech.”

He tips his head back, eyes closed tightly. The way you whisper his name, your voice low and husked, sends bolts of arousal straight through him. Stars, this was such a good idea.

The audio file bristles, and he hears you shift your recording device. A brief silence is then cut by a wet sound, and he knows your hand is now between your thighs.

“‘M’already close,” you laugh breathlessly, and Tech thinks ‘good’, because so is he. He pauses his steady strokes, removing his hand from his aching cock to prolong this pleasure as long as he can. It bobs against his abdomen, head dark and insistent, but he resists. He wants to hear you come.

Your leg shifts, and he can hear how your breathing becomes stilted. His cock throbs in response. His balls twitch, heavy and waiting. His eyes are still shut, his breathing quiet and paused as he waits for your cue.

“Gonna come,” you gasp, and Tech’s hand immediately returns to its dutiful ministrations. He pumps himself roughly alongside the sound of you, matching your pace, wishing to finish at the same time you do so he can imagine the way your cunt squeezes and flutters around him -

A quiet wail, muffled by you burying your face in your pillows, signals your orgasm. Tech groans in kind, hips thrusting up to meet his hand once, twice, and then he is coming as well. He throws his head back, tongue coming out to wet his lips as he spills all over his fist and abdomen. His cock is sensitive from the days of anticipatory edging, and he has to let go in the middle of his release. He pulses out more spend as his cock falls heavily against his shuddering stomach.

He hears the sound of your breathing begin to calm, and he uses it to ground himself. “Sorry, it was short.” He can hear the shy smile in your voice. “But I couldn’t hold back.”

Tech sighs out heavily, throwing one arm over his eyes and matching the sound of your smile with a small grin of his own. He wasn’t expecting to feel so exhausted after this experience, his body still tingling from residual bliss.

He’s on the edge of sleep as he hears you signing off.

“See you soon, Tech,” you whisper. “Have fun.”

appreciates and craves deep convos

not all the time, but every now and then

he likes to know that as much as he can have a good laugh with you, he can also express to you his problems and concerns

is the type to like a bit of routine in regards to friendship. like... going to the same cafe to catch up at the same time on the same day/s each week, sitting at the same table, ordering the same things, etc...

he likes having that little something to look forward to with his bestie on days when he is working

seonghwa

the comfort friend

literally just wants to listen to your worries forever and ever

he always gives you options. you want to talk about your feelings? here's there to listen. you want to cry? he'll give you his shoulder to cry on. you want a distraction from your worries? he'll make you forget you even have worries in the first place

he likes feeling useful in any way he can, so just so the word and he's happy to oblige

just naturally interested in other people

his whole presence is just so comforting ;-;

yunho

the carefree friend

just goes with the flow, to be honest. if he's in good company then there's nothing much to complain about

so ways to hang out with, honestly

he likes going with whatever anyone else wants, but if you're super indecisive then he's fine with making the decision as well, no biggie

he literally gets on with everyone purely because of how easy-going he is

and also he's just cute and nice and polite isn't he so >.<

he's just there to have a good time

there for the vibes 😎

yeosang

the sarcastic friend

you gotta get used to this humour

if you are besties with our sangie boi then you have the privilege of being the only one he will properly relax and be his true self with

he's still quiet but much more likely to come out of his shell and express himself more freely

which results in him being a sassy mf

you are the butt of all his jokes just to warn you

he likes being his random self with you and he appreciates that you get his humour

san

the clingy friend

once you've classified him as your bestie, there's literally no turning back

joined at the hip

likes sharing things with you. whether that's food, memes, playlists, etc... he wants his bestie to be a part of what he enjoys, yk??

giving you regular updates on his life and certainly expects you to do the same >:(

he's the type of friend that just absolutely adores and loves his friends so much

like they mean more to him than anyone else in his life

friends = family

mingi

the goofy friend

so silly and goofy 🤪

he's so random and most of the time he lets his intrusive thoughts win so be on the lookout for that

it's always a good time with him

he can have so much crackhead energy sometimes like it's hilarious

he is never, ever a boring best friend. that's just his personality; he's always got something to say and he never lets a conversation go stale

even when you guys are just sitting around, he's always bringing up the most random topics up or just weird speculations and shower thoughts he has, you know the drill

i love him uwu

wooyoung

the loud friend

laughs often

yall are the type of best friends who get strange looks from other people because of how obnoxiously loud you both are

like you two are the main characters and everyone else just sort of exists around you. wooyoung certainly doesn't care about what other people think and neither should you!

so you end up doing the randomest shit together

he loves spontaneity

also will take the craziest most unflattering pictures of you

his whole camera roll is just filled with pictures of you and him or where you guys have been together

he loves making memories <333

literally the best friend you could ever ask for, i can't lie

jongho

the independent friend

meets up every now and then

probably a few times a month because you guys have different schedules and are so busy

a firm believer that distance makes the heart grow fonder

he thinks that being around someone all the time, 24/7 isn't always the best case-scenario

having some time in between when you meet gives something for the both of you to talk about

and makes it seeing you more special

although both of you have the knack for gossiping about literally everybody

Snow (Let’s Not Lose Ourselves) 👀

(Also interested in "(library's haunted )" but u dont need to add it if it's a lot )

Tnx for the mention btw! :)

Hi Kit! :)

Snow (Let's Not Lose Ourselves) is one my earlier BSD pieces that I never finished because I hit a snag with a certain scene. However, I really want to get back to it since what I have down already I'm actually quite happy with.

It's a gen fic about the first snowfall of the year in Yokohama and how the Agency and Port Mafia are, surprisingly, having a peaceful day for once. Sort of like a Wan chapter but more with the tone of the series proper. There's also a winter market - idk if Yokohama actually has those but there were vendors and stands in the early winter around my area and I always loved those so... I'm sending sskk there for a break hehe. Or, well, they are at least minimally civil to each other lol

I also took the time to have a few character interactions that aren't seen in the series - Tanizaki, Kyouka, Ranpo and Lucy / Atsushi and Poe / Kenji and Higuchi - basically I'm just having fun and it's just meant to be a kind of calm, peaceful, bittersweet piece.

I've got a few exchanges below the cut that I'd like to share :) I was a good halfway done this one, so there's a lot more to share for this than the others.

In order, we have: Ranpo and Kyouka peer-pressuring Tanizaki, Poe being unhinged in front of a concerned Atsushi, and sskk just barely holding back from brawling in the middle of the market hjdbfhjldh

(As for library's haunted - someone else asked about that one too, so I'll answer it there!)

           “But then it won’t be the first snow!”            Ranpo had sidled up behind them at some point during their conversation, his hands laced casually behind his head, the stick of a lollipop clicking rhythmically between his teeth. Tanizaki jumped slightly from the volume of his interjection. Kyouka barely responded. She must’ve sensed his approach.            “Ah, but there’ll be other snows…” Tanizaki trailed off lamely, gesturing with a shrug made heavy by the weight of his stack of documents.            “He-llo?” Ranpo interrupted, popping the lollipop out and gesticulating irritably. “It’s not the same!”            “It isn’t,” Kyouka agreed quickly, then they both turned to stare at Tanizaki, who gulped. It was bad enough having Ranpo’s scrutinizing gaze boring holes into the depths of his being, but to have Kyouka fix him with her big eyes and a barely repressed pleading look behind them…            “I… I want to, really! But… but I don’t know what to do about it!”            At this, Ranpo let out a deep sigh.            “I know I’m the only one with a brain around here, but really? The solution is obvious, don’t you think?” he shrugged indifferently, popping the lollipop back into his mouth. “Shachou’s out.”            “You-” Tanizaki floundered, then in a hushed whisper, “we’re gonna get in trouble!”

           “Hang on. If you didn’t think you were invited, why did you tag along with Kenji and I?”            “I was already headed here…” Poe muttered, then he straightened back up sudden as a flash, alarming both Atsushi and Karl, who let out an irritated little squeak. The man clenched a fist dramatically, a manically gleeful grin spreading across his face.            “I have it from a reliable source that a certain group of vendors will be present on this day only - artisanal candy makers from out of the country!”            “Your source being… Alcott-san?”            “Well,” Poe coughed, deflating slightly. “Perhaps. But!” he continued, his energy restored. “The point is that the candy they make is apparently quite unique to them! I daresay Ranpo-kun has never had anything like it!”            “Oh!” Atsushi smiled, finally understanding. “You’re here to get a present for Ranpo-san! That’s nice! I was actually going to look for something for Kyouka-chan as well, maybe we could both-?”            “It’s not a present! It will be… my victory over him.”            “Your. Wha?”            “Ranpo-kun doesn’t know about the artisans. Even if he did – which is unlikely but I must not underestimate his skill – they were supposed to leave before the market opened due to a last-minute change of plans. But! Then there was an even more last-minute change of plans that allowed them to stay one more day! Due to the short time-frame, they should still be in the process of setting up on the opposite side of the market, and as such, word has not quite spread to anyone except for the market organizers. However, certain interested parties like to stay informed on events throughout Yokohama, including Fitzgerald, which naturally means that Fitzgerald does not know anything but Louisa does. She informed me of the changes and I was able to slip out through the window, as no one had noticed I was present for the past half-hour. After that, it was child’s play to join your shopping expedition group by simply blending in!”            “You tried to ask us. We didn’t hear you the first three times and then you just started walking with us.”            “Be that as it may! The point is that Ranpo-kun has no way of suspecting that I am currently purchasing him these candies, and even if he did! He has no way of knowing what kind of candies these are specifically! And when he takes them and opens them with an expression of surprise and joy… I will be triumphant! As his sworn rival, I will finally have bested him… heh heh heh…”            Poe trailed off his increasingly sinister monologue with a dark chuckle. Atsushi once again made the brave choice not to ask any further questions.

           Atsushi and Akutagawa remained in the middle of the main path, side-eyeing each other with a bitter animosity.            “…I’m going to that vendor over there,” Atsushi finally said, starting to step slowly backwards, unwilling to take his eye off the mafioso for too long.            “Find a different one,” Akutagawa said coolly, striding right past him. “That’s where I’m going.”            “Get your own!” Atsushi snapped, turning and picking up the pace to try and outpace the man.            “Don’t walk next to me.”            “Don’t cut me off!”            They exchanged barbs and insults all the way up to the vendor. The owner smiled at them as they approached, but her smile was a little uncertain as she glanced between them nervously.            Atsushi smiled back to alleviate her concern and began perusing the vendor, impressed with her work. She must have been some kind of ceramics craftswoman – little models of carefully glazed flowers, animals and people were artfully decorated in detailed patterns. He crouched down to get a better look at the sign next to it with the pricing options. He winced a bit at the cost.            Above him, he just barely heard the low mutterings of an exchange between Akutagawa and the owner, a sigh, and then the sound of snow crunching as the man crouched beside him to peer at the same sign.            Frustrated by his seeming inability to shake the mafioso off, Atsushi readied a retort on his tongue and a glare in his eyes, only to pause.            Akutagawa looked exhausted.            His dark eyes stared at the sign almost vacantly. His shoulders were tense but slumped over, and a slight shiver ran through his thin frame, bundled though he was in a thick coat and long scarf. He coughed, quietly as usual, into the palm of his hand but Atsushi’s keen hearing could pick out the stronger wheeze and rattle from his lungs.            Despite himself, he felt the stirrings of a pang of sympathy roiling in his stomach, combating fiercely against the tension and anger he usually felt around him. They weren’t enemies in this moment, Kenji had said, so there was no reason they couldn’t coexist but… it was Akutagawa. He struggled for several moments with his internal conflict, indecisive on whether or not he should say something. His mind was ultimately made up for him when Akutagawa fixed him with a quizzical, suspicious stare, leaving him in the awkward position of having to justify his reason for having stared at him first for so long. He’d just have to be casual. “So… what brings you here? To the market, I mean. On this day – today, you know, uh… nice weather?” Akutagawa stared at him as if he’d grown a second head. On second thought, maybe he just shouldn’t speak. Ever. Akutagawa mumbled something under his breath that even Atsushi’s keen hearing couldn’t parse. “Erm, sorry, what, uh, what was that?” “Gift shopping,” Akutagawa muttered, a little more clearly, like the concept offended him.

Today's translation #600

Go Yuri go!!!, official fanbook, Chief episode director, Shishido Jun's interview

Part 3.

-- During the production period, when was the most difficult time?

Shishido: I think it was when the competitions started around episode 5-6. The amount of work to do and the schedule didn't match at all, so Abiko-san and Tatenaka-san weren't able to do all the work by themselves, and we had 3DGC staff join in to help them. But from episodes 5-6 onward, we repeated the cycle of groping around for solutions, failing and then using that experience when working on the next episode and gradually, we learned the 'know how'. Normally, as anime production approaches the final episode, staff at the studio has less and less energy. In case of Yuri!!! on ICE, however, it was the middle part that was the hardest for us, which was quite a rare occurrence. After that, our approach shifted to "we have managed to get through that, so now we will be fine, no matter what comes our way next!"

-- Please, tell us how did you honestly feel after the final episode.

Shishido: It was 'Somehow, I managed to survive this'... To be honest, during production, I couldn't do anything else but work, I had to finish the work that I had before my eyes, and I couldn't pause. So I didn't really understand how great the response was. But now, looking back, it was amazing. At any rate, we've got a lot of letters and gifts from fans. I've never experience something like that before, so it made me think that I have no other choice but to give my best. It was really thanks to the support of you all that we managed to skate this program until the end. If I have the chance to, I'd like to bring you more 'Yuri!!! on ICE' in some form.
