🌹💐👀

a whole bouquet? xD thank you~ have two paragraphs!

Tim tilts his head back, peering up at Jason through false lashes, a sharp, amused twinkle in his eyes. The movement sends another wave of jasmine perfume wafting under Jason’s nose. “It’s all work with you, Hood,” he says, a pout on crimson lips. Jason wets his own unconsciously, stomach clenching. “When are we going to get to play?” Tim trails a long painted nail over Jason’s forearm, the slight scratch of it leaving behind a faint white line. Jason swallows, as subtly as he can. The irony of Tim asking such a question is lost in the smoky tone of his voice. “Soon, baby,” he promises, voice rougher than he’d like. He can’t help but lean over and kiss him, right on that red-painted mouth. It’s not nearly enough. “Just let me take care of this, and then I’ll take you home.”

4, 33, 49 and 53 for the get to know me thing :D

Thanks for dropping in! :DDDDDDDDDD Now let's get down to business! >:))))

4. Finishing a series I'm currently watching (Beauty and the Beast 1987)-- just reached S3, which is what I've been hyped to reach from the very beginning~.

33. I think I want to pick up Japanese again-- at least, brush up my very beginner skills that I've (mostly?) forgotten in the past two or three years.

49. Somewhere cozy with ice cream in a bowl. ...Come to think of it, I can blend up some frozen bananas and make them that wayyyyyy.

53. This one's so sweet~. 1. Whenever a cooking/baking project comes out just right. 2. Unironically, S8 MSR. 3. A chilly-bordering-on-cold rainy day with just enough sun to keep me from feeling gloomy. 4. A novel or poem that is written in-sync with how the rhythm of my mind operates, transcending explanation or even words. 5. Cuddling, be it loved one or animal.

This was fun~! :))))))))))))))

001 holyvicar?

(Link to prompts)

001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when I started shipping it if I did:

After I got into Bloodborne, it took me a while to move into shipping territory, but there were a couple characters that caught my eye (Ludwig) so I did some snooping. First fic on the list sounded so very good, so I clicked on it and got hit with a 2x4 that was holyvicar and I haven't looked back since.

my thoughts:

They are everything to me. I love how easy it is to read that they get a little bit obsessed with each other. I love their dynamic; Ludwig is noble and principled and Laurence is ambitious, and the mental hoops Ludwig jumps through for Laurence are utterly captivating. More than anyone else, Ludwig encapsulates how everyone close to Laurence knew what was happening should stop and yet followed his lead anyways. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and Ludwig is right there, shoulder to shoulder with Laurence to lay down those stones.

What makes me happy about them:

Everything!! They really make my brain work hard, produce all those good chemicals.

What makes me sad about them:

They're inherently tragic-- There's no space for happiness for Laurence in his canon, and that of course extends to the people closest to him. Including Ludwig. Especially Ludwig. No one was quite as high or fell quite as far, and it can all be traced back to Laurence.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

Seeing either of them dumbed down or flattened into one dimensional characters. They're both so incredibly complex and it's a shame to see that lost.

things I look for in fanfic:

Anything interesting! I love introspective pieces, especially from Laurence's pov. Or a good plot, or something not done often!

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

Laurence is incredibly easy to ship; he just draws people in, so it's very easy to see him with others, even in the context of a single verse. Gehrman and Brador are my usual go-tos besides Ludwig, mainly because I think the three of them are exactly all Laurence's preferred type. But I definitely see the appeal of Micolash and Laurence, due to their academic clashes and differing perspectives.

As for Ludwig, I do love some of the bittersweetness of his ship with Simon. It makes your heart ache, and I love it both one sided and requited.

My happily ever after for them:

Not being in Yharnam, haha! But really, I would love to see, if they got a second chance, how they might try and fix their past mistakes.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

Oh, Laurence, for sure is the big spoon. Not always, but I definitely see him as the type to enjoy it. Encouraging Ludwig to make himself small, comfortable.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

I think, they would enjoy taking walks together. Or, perhaps Laurence reading to Ludwig, or vice versa. Perhaps even, in a kinder world, they would enjoy a trip to a warm beach, somewhere far away, where the wind is fresh and the sun shines in a clear blue sky.

Oooo Constance or any of the wolves?? 💖

yes! constance! (i've been meaning to draw her for ages whoops)

I've had the dlc for two runs (vw and am, both hard) and idk if i'd ever play without constance again. She has two very specific features:

tied with lysithea for highest magic growth in the game

bolting

bolting is only learnt by constance (60% magic growth), hilda (25%), and manuela (35%). warlock/gremory gives +10% magic growth, giving constance a huge magic stat by the end of the game. her defences are horrible, but she shouldnt be getting attacked anyway.

by the time she's in warlock/gremory she can cast bolting four times, unless her crest of noa activates and she gets more uses, so she's able to completely remove four enemies per battle from across the map. I give her the ordelia sorcery co. battalion for +8 mag and +20 hit too, and thyrsus so she can hit from 5 range with her normal spells once she has S rank reason. She also gets fimbulvetr and agnea's arrow for increased power if needed. her weakness is powerful bosses with counter like the death knight, but otherwise she can one shot almost anything

I only ever bring one mage who can't learn physic per team, and it's constance now. She also has rescue, which isnt worth enough to get flayn a team spot, but it's really nice utility on constance.

I usually have her in warlock for bonuses to her black magic and double bolting castings, and then gremory for extra movement. With bolting I really don't need the utility of dark flier, and it's very rare that she gets so far from the fighting that she'd need it anyway (usually very spaced out maps, like the lysithea/ferdie paralogue)

anyway i really like constance

the other wolves:

balthus has a cool personality but other brawlers just tend to perform better for me, like byleth and felix (and he directly lost to cyril in the vw run)

hapi is... another linhardt. she has the same magic growth as him, and also learns physic and warp. she was a good replacement on my last run when he got bad magic level up rng in the early game and never recovered. i take her thru bishop just to get more heals and warps, and then end in gremory. she does not get dark spikes

yuri is good. in my first run with him he was a trickster. i made him a dancer last run and with sword avoid nothing can hit him. i wanna try the war master crit build i heard about.

these screenshots are from my first run with the dlc characters

theyre good

for the ship ask game: mizurui & emufuyu /nf !!

mizurui: i'm actually a big fan of them!! they have such an interesting dynamic (to me at least) and the fact that their relationship began as a friendship, and that they have seen each other at their lowest points... there is just something so poetic about that. they would be able to accept each other for who they really are. however, i do think that in terms of a long relationship, they wouldn't last because they are too alike and while they would definitely try, they wouldn't be able to give the support the other needs...

emufuyu: they are cute!! imo it's grumpy x sunshine and i like that trope hehe. i do feel, however, that emu would be good for mafuyu because she would give mafuyu the push she needed to be a little less "perfect" and mafuyu would be there to calm emu down. they would be an interesting dynamic to explore !!

Alright, dear friend, let's get real.

For your 'make me admit stuff' game, how about... 1-92?

Look, I just want to know!

I'm onto you. You're trying to out stalk me! WELL that ain't gonna happen, I'm the raining champ for a reason 😘

But I will answer some of them:

7. What happened tonight? Vodka

10. What is the last beverage you had? Vodka

24. What do you want right this second? Vodka

92. Do you want to get married? Sure, I think it will lower my taxes, but you'll need to clear it with your boo first, unless this is a buy 1 get 1 free deal ? 💍💖🕊🕊

[striving-artist]

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

2.) How old is this blog?

18.) Link a post that made you smile recently.

2.) I think I made this blog like a month ago, wanted to have a blog specifically for my TMNT interest.

18.) And this was a post I saw the other day that I loved. Having loved and being curious about animation since I was a kid, I was happy to see that there are still people who want to show kids how some of these shows are done.
