Alright but what if your an artist of the clan! But you have like a secret stash of naughty drawings and one of the guys (can be anyone honestly) found it and was either like these are good or they’re like ohh so would you be down to try this position? AHHH ITS 5AM AND I NEED TO SEE THIS IDEA OUT

Work of art

adult Neteyam x female omatikaya reader

Words: 2.5k

Warnings: explicit smut, minors dni, thigh riding, praise kink, p in v, creampie

Notes: you guys are literally so creative omg thanks for this request I loved that idea!! Also I hope it’s fine that I’ve picked Neteyam for this? ☺️

The omatikaya had many forms of art. Your clan had good singers, skillful weavers and wonderful dancers. And you were an artist, a painter. One of the rarest forms of art that the omatikaya practiced. The human scientists had introduced you to something they called pen and paper a few years ago and you couldn’t stop drawing ever since. Your favorite thing to draw were people, may it be humans or Na‘vi. You practiced drawing the human anatomy as often as possible, occasionally you even stole some of Norms biology books to do so.

But your favorite art reference when it came to drawing your own people, was Neteyam. The olo’eyktan’s oldest son and one of your closest friends. And the greatest work of art you knew. You had this little, secret crush on him, but in order not to put your friendship at risk, you never acted upon it. All you had were your little daydreams and fantasies and the drawings you made of him– they were obviously only meant to help you get better at anatomy and nothing else!

Neteyam often spent time with you when you were drawing. Most of the time, he was just laying beside you, taking a quick nap between his chores and duties. Sometimes he would just silently watch you, mesmerized by your talent. On other days, you could barely focus on drawing because the both of you were just too lost in a deep conversation about whatever topic you landed on today.

Today was no different.

"Tey, could you hand me another piece of paper please?" Not even glancing up from your current drawing, you point to the shoulder bag that was laying against a tree.

"Sure", Neteyam smiles, placing your legs, that were lazily swung over his own, to the ground before he raises to his feet and walks over to where you had pointed. Your bag was, as usual, full of non-essential stuff that made it hard to find literally anything in it. Neteyam rolls his eyes as he skips through several books, that you had once again only "borrowed" from the humans (without them knowing, of course), a few colored pencils and a handful of notebooks in various sizes. He glances over his shoulder to get a glimpse of the paper size that you would probably need and grabs the first notebook that was similar in size. It had a small heart craved into the front of its leather cover and given that he had never seen this one before, he only guessed that it must be a new one.

Knowing that most most of your notebooks were already full, he flips it open and searches for a blank page. Of course this one was filled to the brim with drawings, but these were… different kind of drawings, compared to the ones you usually made. Neteyam raises a brow as he examines them carefully, one in particular, before he turns back to you.

"Thats an… odd position. Did you learn that from the humans?" Neteyam flips the notebook for you to see and immediately, all color drains from your face.

The drawing he was showing you was one of your favorites and it was more than just obvious, that what you drew on those pages was supposed to be you and him….

"N-Neteyam!", you squeak and immediately stumble to your feet, "You weren’t supposed to see that, oh great mother—" You attempt to pry the notebook from his hands, but Neteyam only chuckles. He’s holding it over his head, too far for you to reach even as you stand on your very tip toes.

"It’s uhm, I uh– I just used it for anatomy practice, you know, it’s easier if you have a reference and you, uhm, you just happen to be there all the time so it was easier for me to draw you and, and—"

Neteyam grins as you struggle to explain yourself, all flustered and face bright red while he still holds the drawing out of your reach. He secretly enjoys the feeling of your soft hands clawing to his arms and how you unintentionally press yourself against him, because you try with all your might to get that damn book back.

"So you’re not up to try it?", he tilts his head, catching you off guard and you freeze.

"E-Excuse me?" You blink at him, internally questioning if you had heard him right. Finally, he lowers his arm, but all intentions to get your notebook back had left your mind completely.

"I said…", Neteyam bends forward, until his face is just inches from yours, "do you want to try that with me?"

You swallow thickly, your eyes narrowing as if trying to read him, to see if he was just joking. There was a smile spreading on his lips, almost innocently, as if he didn’t just suggest something so filthy that it made your belly tingle.

"I figured it could help you with your art, you know, if you didn’t have to use your imagination anymore", he explains nonchalant. You had to swallow down the next stupid thing that crossed your mind, ready to be spoken out, which was something along the lines of 'please fuck my brains out right now.' But instead, all that really came out was some sort of whimper, an almost pathetic and painfully embarrassing sound that even you weren’t sure how to describe.

Instead of answering him, you just sort of stood there. Staring up at him with wide eyes. Hands clenching into weak fists on your sides, because you really wanted to move them, touch him, respond in any way that didn’t embarrass you further because yes, you absolutely wanted to do that— but you just didn't have the brain capacity to tell him. Neteyam must have caught on on that, because you saw the little curl of a smirk pull at the corner of his lip and then he chuckled, "You’re so adorable."

For a moment, you think that he was actually just joking. That he had successfully managed to make a fool out of you, but then his hand finds the back of your head and he pulls you into a kiss. His tongue shot out immediately, loving the way you opened up for him and you let your eyes flutter closed.

"Okay, let’s see…", Neteyam murmurs once he breaks the kiss and then he sets the book down for both of you to see. For a moment, he pretends to study your drawing, pretends to think about what the first step to lead to this might be as if it wasn’t so obvious already and it makes you squirm in embarrassment. "I think we need to get you all nice and wet first", his voice is low and hot in your ear. You can’t help the very audible gulp that comes out of you when your eyes met his again, dark with want and mischief, almost as if he'd been planning to do this.

Neteyam leans over to dispense wet kisses up your exposed shoulder, until he reaches your throat. He covers your skin in dark, purple marks as he sucks and kisses and bites down softly, making you whimper. His hands slowly travel south, getting hold of your delicate wrists on his way and then he guides them to your loincloth. "Undress yourself for me", Neteyam tells you and your quick to obey, untying the piece of clothing and discarding it to somewhere on the ground. "Good girl", he praises and then wedges one of his thick thighs right in between yours, his hands now holding your hips.

His grip on you was firm, solidly guiding. You could feel the strength of his hands against your flesh, not really rough, but not exactly gentle either. He positioned you to settle on his thigh before he rocks your hips back and forth. You gasp as your core makes contact with his warm skin, the muscles of thigh creating enough friction against your clit to make you moan.

You whimper softly, the tips of your ears burning with an intense heat as you stare up at him through lidded eyes. You can feel the heat pooling rapidly in the pit of your stomach, heart beating hard against your ribs and pounding loudly in your ears as your breaths come out in short, rough pants.

Neteyam experiments with different paces and pressures, trying to figure out the best way to make you feel good and it doesn’t take very long to find out what works best for you. Your hips are rocking against his thigh, and he breaks the kiss he had just captured you in, with a muted gasp and a thin, glistening strand of saliva that connects your lips.

You were growing wetter by the second, so much so that a wet patch was beginning to form on his skin.

"You're dripping all over my thigh,” Neteyam notes amused and you shamefully try to hide your face in the space where his neck meets his shoulder. Every rock of your hips was bringing you a jolt of pleasure. It felt so euphoric that you find yourself never wanting it to end. Everything‘s being stimulated with each buck of your hips and small shivers shot up your spine every time you brush your clit against his muscles.

"Hmm, I think you’re wet enough now", Neteyam hums softly as he brings your hips to an abrupt halt, causing a whine to erupt from you. He takes another glance to the piece of paper laying right next to you both, as if he was reading an instruction. Then he swiftly turns you around so your back is flush with his chest, slightly arched and with your ass pressing into his crotch. You could feel his hard erection already pressing against your bottom and it made you wonder if you were really already so far gone, that you hadn’t even realized that he had pulled his own loincloth off too.

One of his hands snakes up your front and closes itself briefly around your throat, mirroring the position of your drawing. "This what you had in mind, pretty girl?", he whispers against the shell of your ear, right before he pushes the thick head of his cock between your folds. His free hand sets on your hip, holding you in place when his tip finally catches on your entrance and he pushes himself inside. "Fuck, yes", you breathe out and nod, earning a chuckle from him. You can feel the muscles in his arms tense, groaning when his pelvis was flush with your soft bottom and he was fully settled inside the tight heat of your cunt. You let out a long, uninterrupted moan at the full feeling of how deep he was.

Your hands reach back to steady yourself on his hips, but he’s quick to snatch them. He bends your arms to let them rest in the arch of your back, holding them together with his big hand. Now it was truly like the most detailed copy of the drawing that you made. The position you were in, it was straight out of your imagination, out of every wet dream that you ever had about this moment and then bought to paper by you, not long ago.

Neteyams pace is slow at first. Somewhat in a teasing way, but mostly to let you adjust to him. You were tight, your walls were heavenly, warm and constricting him and getting even tighter when he increased his pace. In no time, you were all but melting in his hold, moaning out nonsense that was music to his ears.

"Just as tight as I imagined. Oh, great mother– I won’t last if you keep squeezing me like that." Neteyam was moving even faster now and you were moaning, hot and loud, with your head rolled back in the crook of his neck.

It was the perfect position for him to let his tongue dart out and lick at the corner of your lips, to which you quickly turned your head and let him capture your mouth in yet another heated kiss.

He pounded into you then, using your arms as leverage as he thrusts his hips up and into you, the head of his cock rapidly hitting your g-spot in the process. Your jaw dropped and your fists clenched, but oh, that wasn't all that was clenching. Your breathing turned needy and higher pitched, struggling to keep steady as he was driving you over the edge faster than you could probably even process it.

"Tey", you whined the sweet nickname that was reserved for you and only you to use, "Tey, I‘m— I‘m gonna cum!"

"Be a good girl and squeeze my cock when you do, yeah? I want to– fuck, I want to feel you cum around me", he groans, sweating from his own exertion as he pushed right into your sweet spot. And who were you to deny him? You did as you were told, flexing your lower abdomen to squeeze the cock that was roughly thrusting in and out of your fluttering walls.

Neteyams head fell back at the sweet, savory feeling of your tightness, so wet that there was hardly any resistance at all as you finally reach your high. "That’s it, you look so pretty when you cum. Such a good girl for me", he breathes as you choke on a moan.

You keep flexing your inner walls as best as you can, until you feel him tremble with the change. Neteyam moans and it’s the most erotic sound you’ve ever heard and then his movements become jerky and you know he’s about to come. You try your best to keep your eyes open, turning your head slightly to not miss the look on his face when he does. His mouth is slightly agape, eyes half lidded as they land on yours and with one last thrust he stills inside you. His cum is hot and sticky and you can feel it fill you.

Neteyams hands finally leave your arms and they’re aching from the weird position they were in the whole time, but you’re quick to ignore the pain when his lips land on yours again. Your familiar with his kisses by now, relishing in the way he still kisses you so hot and open mouthed and wet, even after he just came.

Your panting heavily when you break the kiss to breathe and immediately, Neteyam lowers his head to continue with his very own work of art, that he had left on your throat earlier. Small love bites and hickeys were already turning purple on your pretty blue skin, making you especially sensitive there and a small gasp escapes your lips.

"Was that the reference you needed, my sweet girl?" He asks against your throat before placing another kiss there.

"Hmh yes", you hum, a small smile appearing on your lips as you let out a little chuckle.

"Good. Now show me what else you got in that little notebook. I’ve got plenty of time today."

neptune angel baby if you would be at all willing,, i need need need those joel girl dad headcanons,, like,, carnally,, if they are top secret feel free to keep it that way,, but if not,, i’d die to see them

and i suppose i’ll look for some foreshadowing in succession🫠🫠🫠 because wtf🫠🫠

-🍓

okay okay, just for you strawb! honestly they’re not groundbreaking or anything butttt here are my joe girl dad™️ headcanons

he’s taken sarah to every Destiny’s Child and Beyoncé tour. does it make his pockets hurt? yes! is it worth it?? absolutely!

he had to learn pretty early on how to do sarah’s hair and like, he’d never admit it to anyone but he actually finds doing hair so therapeutic. there are also many many many photos of him with like a bunch of berets in his hair

that being said joel DEFINITELY knows a thing or two makeup. he started watching tutorials when he caught wind that sarah was even curious about makeup, helped her out a few times, and is pretty good. he’s no pro but if you ever broke your hand or something he would have you covered

yes joel is a very busy man but he always will make time to do whatever sarah wants. volunteer at the school bake sale? he’s there. father daughter dance? he’s there. tea party with her stuffed animals?? he’s there!!

to add onto that, joel has been a guest at many of sarah’s tea parties (particularly when she was younger). if anyone asks, he’s just going through the motions. but in reality, he loves getting to spend time with his little girl and all of her toys, and he thinks it’s so cute how she tells stories and gives her little toys voices

as i’ve said before, joel used to be an awful cook, but after his wife left he realized he had to get his life together and he’s improved his skills a bunch since then. whenever sarah’s down, or whenever she has company, he always makes sure to whip out her favorite dishes and it always brings a smile to her face :D

joel LOVES a good barbie movie. he will be sat in the best seats in the theater with sarah for barbie (2023) and that’s not even a headcanon that’s just canon sorry

spa days. at first joel was just supervising when sarah would ask to go to the salon, but one day he sat down in one of those massage chairs and an available tech offered him a pedicure and he’s been a pedicure stan ever since. they have many father-daughter spa days and sometimes sarah even lets joel help decide on nail art 🥹

joel learns all of sarah’s favorite songs on the guitar! sometimes she asks for a greatest hits concert and who is he to say no to her???

when sarah was younger, she used to be scared of a lottt of things, including the dark. there were many times where he promised to stay with her until she fell asleep, then ended up falling asleep in her tiny little bed

basically, joel is the girl dad of all girl dads.

Saw your most recent reblog and figured I’d ask a question about Stephen… (You are one of the foremost experts on Stephen I feel like I’ve interacted with!)

What do you think would have happened to Stephen/what would he have done if he’d never have found Kamar Taj after his accident?

Would he have eventually have been able to heal, do you think?

Sorry it took me a while to get to this, health, RL blah blah blah. Got some energy tonight though!

This is a tough one. There are some fics that explore this scenario, and often they're unhappy and lead to his death.

Let's explore the "he doesn't die within a couple weeks" route here instead.

The problem with Stephen is his pride. It's one of his greatest weaknesses and I don't know if he would have been wise enough to admit he was wrong and try to reach the US Embassy for assistance into getting back to the United States. But even if he did, he would have absolutely nothing to return to; he pushed his greatest ally, Christine, away by this point, and interviewing as a homeless person is significantly harder than not, because you don't have a stable address to give recruiters, even if you have access to a shower and interview clothes.

Assuming he didn't die, but had enough sense to forego his pride to realize that he needed real help to survive, he could have turned to one of the many secular charities, Hindu temples, or Buddhist monasteries within Kathmandu for assistance. English is a strongly desired skill in almost every non-English speaking country within the world due to its international prominence; he can still write, albeit slowly, and he can certainly speak. He would be best suited to exchanging his skills in English for a place to stay and eat within one of these places

Within a monastery or temple, he may learn some of the tenets of Buddhism or Hinduism. While religion is certainly not for everyone (and honestly, even after magic, I view Stephen as a non-religious agnostic), there are principles within both religions that could help Stephen grieve his loss properly and find meaning within his life without being a surgeon.

As he comes to terms with this, learns Nepali, and the people around him realize just how much medical expertise he has, his education could very well expand just from English to medical education. Other than worldly resources, education opportunities is the biggest gap between richer and poorer countries, and if he allows himself to go down this new path, Stephen could very well find meaning in giving what he has to offer to others less fortunate than him.

It'd take longer than the magical path for his turn, but as I don't view Stephen as one to give up in the face of adversary, I think it's wholly possible. And he could make a lot of difference for a small amount of people in that part of the world by letting go of his ego and accepting a new path in life.

Hi Sir.

First, thank you for your years of service.

But thank you also for your intelligent, interesting, often funny, always thought provoking Tumblr!

(My own Tumblr is, um, less high minded.)

We may be very different men in some ways, but your ideas on government, self defense, outdoor recreation, food, nature, married life, and most other subjects are right on, Sir!

On marriage, I happen to have a husband, not a wife, but I think for both of us the experience is an amazing journey of discovery and adaptation.

On self defense, I was never in the military. Honestly I don't know what half the weapons you post are. I just try to do a little karate, and lately a little kobudo in my "old age." (59, the oldest I've ever been!) But I marvel at your evident skill and breadth of knowledge. The whole point of being able to fight, after all, is to attain peace.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts online, Sir!

Just when I’m sure the Human race is beyond recovery someone pops up and reminds me there are still good damned people on this blue sphere we call home. @hoss-sc, First and foremost, thank you for your kind words, with that said I have been accused of a great many things, High Minded is not one of them, but I'll take what I can get. Thank you, it is my honor to have served, I found more than I’ve lost and it changed my perspective on so much. It is true we are different men but as I have found, people as individuals, devoid of the separations and segregation that are placed on us by society and governments see more eye to eye than we know. When you understand that the very people, organizations and governments that keep putting us in little boxes are the very one’s fanning the flames of hate and distrust. Reminds me of this scene from Men In Black.

youtube

I don't have much need of those little boxes, those categories that we are yoked with. I chose who I like, or dislike, based on who they are not who I'm told they are. As I have said many times on here I don't care where a person comes from, who they bend a knee to, who they sleep with or what color they are. My baseline qualifier is what kind of Human they are. I have never had one of those artificial sub-categories clarify a person for me, only time and actions can so that. The chaff will always separate from the Wheat given enough time to do so.

I am pleased you and I have much more in common than not. I think every Human has Rights that exist before the laws of men. I think life outside teaches more practical lessons than and room and 4 walls can. I think Governments should be small and people should be allowed to be free. Hoss, I’m glad you have found your love and your happiness, damnit it is a rare thing in this age of instant gratifications and disposable relationships. With that said I have been married 3 times, the first one left me while I was deployed, the second one stabbed me and the one I spent all those years looking for, well, we’ve been together 17 years this July. I don’t care if one is in a same sex relationship or an opposite sex relationship, who people sleep with has very little to do with me or what I think of them. I’m sure you and I could have long conversations about the boxes society has created to keep people both locked up and hidden in. Self-defense, Man this hits me to my core. EVERY HUMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE!! Self-defense is the cornerstone to living a life free from oppression either from thugs and criminals or oppressive governments. I think everyone should learn a form of unarmed self-defense and learn to use firearms because deferring your safety and the safety of those you love to someone less concerned about your survival just isn’t the greatest option. I taught unarmed self-defense for 10 years and I have taught armed defense for close to 30 years, each one is an important aspect in our personal responsibility to not live in victimhood. A few years back I started training in Filipino martial arts (kali, escrima, arnis) with a guy out at NAS Fallon, it is so different from the traditional Jiu Jitsu I started with in the 90’s and the Gracie style of Jiu Jitsu I did for many many years and the same style my kids do now. I trained at if for a little over a year before the guy got orders and I haven’t found an instructor since, small town blues. I cannot accurately express how important I feel self-defense is. But, as you know, as we get on in the years all the shit we did to our bodies in our younger more rambunctious years starts to slow us down. I’ll be 53 in June and all those “Oh shit, I survived that!” moments remind me that I am not quite a spry as I once was, but I’m also not dead. I will never be as fast or agile as I was at 20 or 30 or even 40 but I will never go down without a fight, it’s just not in my DNA. Thank you again, I mean that from the deepest places in my soul. “The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them” ― Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy

Hope that it’s alright that I’m asking about the whole list. If it’s too much, just pick your preferred ones. An you do day 20, prompt 7 (fanfiction questions)?

Of course it’s alright! I’ve done prompts much longer than the 20 questions here and honestly, I feel so flattered that you’re interested in me enough to ask! Thank you so much for sending this in, giving me the opportunity to talk about this, and I hope you’ll find some interesting little tidbits here, my gorgeous anon 😊

1. When did you start writing?

Wayyyy, way too long ago to remember an exact age, honestly. I’ve been writing in some form for as long as I remember. I remember writing little scenes about Dragon Ball Z after watching episodes in a Hilroy scribbler that thankfully never saw the light of day. I remember writing Dream Street fanfiction to horribly date myself. I’ve been writing in some form from at least eight years old, and I remember going into early middle school trading hand-written, on looseleaf in binders, Harry Potter fanfiction with a friend. I remember writing on Quizilla first though for major fanfiction platforms, also around middle school I think, so I think my first internet fanfiction would have been around 2003-ish?? So I’ve been writing fanfiction here on the internet for at least 20 years, which makes me feel super fucking old, my lovelies.

2. How many different fandoms have you written for?

Easily over a hundred. I write for a solid 37 fandoms on here currently and there’s been several that I used to write for but don’t anymore, not to mention fandoms that I wrote for way back and stopped writing for before ever coming onto Tumblr.

3. If applicable, do you think your writing has improved a lot or a little since you first started writing?

Oh, I can absolutely guarantee you that my writing has improved leaps and bounds from little eight-year-old me scribbling on paper. Even from the original Polycanons blog here on Tumblr to today, I feel I am always improving my writing skills in some way or another. I honestly think that’s all I can continue hoping and praying for, that despite having a set style as a writer now, that I keep consistently improving on this or that as a writer. Right now, my biggest struggle still remains dialogue, but I’m actively working on improving that wherever I can.

4. What was the first fic you wrote?

As mentioned above, I remember scribbling out little Dragon Ball Z fanfiction. The first smut I ever wrote was Vegeta smut, haha. I can’t remember the details of any of them clearly, but I think that was one of the first fics.

5. What is your favourite fic you have written?

Oh, this one is impossible for me to answer. Not only do I have admitted issues with labelling anything as a favourite, but I’ve admitted that although some people have guessed prior names I’ve written under, I refuse to publicly acknowledge my past usernames I’ve used to write. It’s not because I’m ashamed so much of what I’ve written, though I do think that they are not the greatest fics and that I’ve improved in my skills as a writer since writing them, but more that, like every kid coming into fandom, I had to learn how to deal with fandom in general and that, at one point, I was a complete and utter douchecanoe who was judgmental of others and let getting mildly major in one of my fandoms get to my head. I regret my former actions so much and really am ashamed of the person I used to be in fandom, and since I’ve learned and matured into a much better person, I want to distance myself from that person I was. There are some who will know once I post an upcoming fic within the next couple of months, because it’s a rewrite of an old fic I’ve always wanted to rewrite and because it fits a prompt, I get to, but I won’t publicly acknowledge that so…a lot of my old fics can’t get discussed haha. I will say that, of the ones I can acknowledge here on tumblr, there was a fic I wrote for a Halloween exchange event that I loved writing and still imagine scenarios within that universe! It can be found here!

6. Which character of yours has been your favourite to write?

I think I’ve kind of answered this a couple of times. Rather than favourites, I have characters I find easy to write. KHR overall is a fandom I find easiest to write about, with Gokudera, Enma and Yamamoto really being super easy for me to write within the fandom itself. For K, HOMRA is easiest for me to write about. In Nanbaka, Rock, Samon, Qi, Seitarou and Hajime are the easiest for me to write. In Iruma-kun, Balam and Jazz are the easiest for me to write. For Bungou Stray Dogs, Steinbeck, Kunikida, and Chuuya are the easiest for me to write about. In Servamp, Tsurugi, Sakuya, and Misono are easiest for me to write. In Eyeshield 21, Hiruma, the Kongo twins, Sakuraba and Riku are the easiest for me to write. In Saiyuki, the Sanzo-Ikkou are the easiest for me to write. In Ronin Warriors, Kento and Cye are easiest for me to write. In Kekkaishi, the Night Troops are easiest for me to write. In GetBackers, Ginji and Emishi are easiest for me to write. In Black Cat, it’s Sven. In Karneval, Yogi is the easiest for me to write. In Gangsta., Marco, Yang, Delico, and Alex are the easiest for me to write. In Bleach, it’s the Eleventh Division and Hisagi. In Naruto, it’s the Akatsuki. For Deadman Wonderland, it’s Senji and Minatsuki. In Ouran, it’s Haruhi and Tamaki. In Durarara, it’s Shizuo and Izaya. In Yu Yu Hakusho, it’s Kuwabara, Kurama, and Botan. In Gintama, it’s Gin, Hijikata, Kondo, and Okita. In Mystic Messenger, it’s V and Saeran. In Ikemen Revolution, it’s Kyle, Oliver, Harr, and Sirius. In Blush Blush, it’s Nimh and Cole. In Date Warp, it’s Linds. In Hatoful Boyfriend, it’s nobody really – I get to write about it so rarely that it’s equally hard and easy for all the characters. For The Outsiders, it’s Dally and Darry. For Class of the Titans, it’s Neil, Odie, and Herry. For Ultimate Spider-Man, it’s Danny, Luke, Sam, Flash, and Ben. For Gravity Falls, it’s Stan. For The Mighty Ducks, it’s Portman, Fulton, and Adam. For The Covenant, it’s Tyler. For Jungle Fury, it’s Dom, Fran, and Casey. For Ninja Storm, it’s Cam. For Mystic Force, it’s Chip. For Holes, it’s Zigzag and Twitch.

7. Which character of yours do you most identify with (if any)?

Again, sticking just with the fandoms I deal with on here. For KHR, it’s Skull, Enma, and Gokudera. For K Project, it’s Bandou and Eric. For Nanbaka, it’s Jyugo. For Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! it’s Iruma and Elizabetta. For Bungou Stray Dogs, it’s Kunikida, Steinbeck, Poe, Atsushi, and Chuuya. For Servamp, it’s Sakuya and Misono. For Saiyuki, it’s Gojyo. For Eyeshield 21, it’s Ishimaru, Unsui, and Yukimitsu. For Ronin Warriors, it’s Cye. For Kekkaishi, it’s Masamori. For GetBackers, it’s Natsumi. For Black Cat, it’s Eve. For Karneval, it’s Gareki. For Gangsta., it’s Delico. For Bleach, it’s Kira and Orihime. For Naruto, it's Naruto, Gaara, and Rock Lee. For Deadman Wonderland, it’s Ganta. For Ouran, it’s Haruhi. For Durarara, it’s Kadota. For Yu Yu Hakusho, it’s Kuwabara. For Gintama, it’s Shinpachi and Yamazaki. For Mystic Messenger, it’s V and the twins. For Ikemen Revolution, it’s Kyle and Zero. For Blush Blush, it’s Anon. For Date Warp, it’s Rafael. For Hatoful Boyfriend…probably Ryouta? For The Outsiders, Johnny and Ponyboy. For Class of the Titans, Odie. For Ultimate Spider-Man, Ben and Amadeus. For Gravity Falls, Dipper. For The Mighty Ducks, Adam, Fulton, and Goldburg. For The Covenant, Tyler. For Jungle Fury, Casey. For Ninja Storm, Cam. For Mystic Force, Chip and Madison. For Holes, Stanley and Zero.

8. Which character of yours do you find the hardest to write?

Again, sticking just with the fandoms I deal with on here. For KHR, it’s Mukuro, Reborn, and Shitt P!. For K Project, it’s Nagare. For Nanbaka, it’s Jyugo, Liang, and Upa. For Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! it’s Asmodeus and Opera. For Bungou Stray Dogs, it’s Dazai and Fyodor. For Servamp, it’s Lawless and Mikuni. For Saiyuki, it’s Lirin and Nii. For Eyeshield 21, it’s Kid and Akaba. For Ronin Warriors, it’s Rowen and Sage. For Kekkaishi, it’s Yoshimori. For GetBackers, it’s Ban and Kazuki. For Black Cat, it’s Train. For Karneval, it’s Gareki. For Gangsta., it’s Worick. For Bleach, it’s Hitsugaya. For Naruto, it's Sasuke. For Deadman Wonderland, it’s Shiro. For Ouran, it’s Kyoya and Mori. For Durarara, it’s Celty and Shinra. For Yu Yu Hakusho, it’s Hiei and Yusuke (in a relationship anyway). For Gintama, it’s Kamui. For Mystic Messenger, it’s Zen. For Ikemen Revolution, it’s Ray. For Blush Blush, it’s Stirling. For Date Warp, it’s Nathaniel. For Hatoful Boyfriend, Shuu. For The Outsiders, Sodapop and Steve. For Class of the Titans, Theresa and Jay. For Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter. For Gravity Falls, Ford. For The Mighty Ducks, Charlie. For The Covenant, Chase. For Jungle Fury, Theo. For Ninja Storm, Shane. For Mystic Force, Vida. For Holes, the Warden.

9. If any, what music/artists do you like to listen to while writing?

Ohh, I think I’ve mentioned this a couple of times on the blog, but I actually do up little playlists for most of my writing. If it’s a fic, the playlist tends to be longer and more personalized to the story itself. But I make them even for headcanon writing, since I pick five at a time I’m feeling, so I make up little hour-long playlists with songs that might be inspirational for the headcanons or speak to the theming of the headcanons.

10. Do you ever put any of your own traits or personality into any of your characters? Which?

Yes. There are parts of me that I add to some characters – mental processes, traits, viewpoints, quirks, habits. I see the potential for these characters to strongly do or think these ways and it makes sense for them. But it’s not just me that I do this with. I’m really good at reading people, figuring them out, because at one point survival for me really did rely on me being able to read people’s moods and anticipate their behaviours. And I honestly love learning about people because people are fascinating. So, all of that combined with my storied life means I’ve gotten to deeply know a wide variety of people and I’ll often write little bits and pieces of those people into characters where again, these parts of them I’m writing into the character make so much sense and feel authentic to the canon character themselves.

11. If you could take one character from your fic and put it with another character in another one of your fics, who would you want to see together?

Okay, but thank you for giving me the chance to write this. I am such a huge fan of crossovers. It’s so frigging fun to take characters from different media and stick them together and I think a lot about various crossovers, along with writing little scenes and headcanons of crossovers that never get seen because, really, there’s not requests for them and they’re not big enough to post as fics. But it’s fun to take wildly different characters and figure out who would get along, who would hate each other, what romances or relationships might come about, who would be those on and off type friends where you’re never sure if they like each other that day or hate each other that day, who are truly neutral towards each other and just don’t really notice each other, how they’d talk and interact with all these different people. Of course, high school and boarding schools make great crossover opportunities. KHR is actually really great to set crossovers in as well, just because a Mafia Family is a great way to add a different group of characters from a whole other media and that gives me the added fun of figuring out flame types for the characters. But I will admit to one of my hugest guilty pleasures…I’m such a hardcore Big Brother fan and that’s my favourite crossovers to imagine. I take whatever character I’m really feeling at the moment for each of my fandoms and I throw them all in as contestants in the Big Brother house. It’s fun to figure out not only who would get evicted first and who would win, but also who plays the best social game, who the comp beasts are, who forms alliances with who and how seriously do they take those alliances, who has the best blowups, who becomes a fan favourite and all those kind of things.

12. Which do you prefer writing most, description, dialogue, or actions?

Easily description, then actions, then dialogue. I’ve always been upfront that I’m never sure of my dialogue, that it’s hard for me to write conversations that feel authentic and natural and fit with the tone of the character’s voice and are worded like they would word things.

13. If you could base one of your fics in a different location than where it is currently, where would you like it to be?

Okay, but if I had my way, every fic and every fandom and every character would be visiting Disney World. Everyone goes to Disney World (props to the Varia for being the quickest to get evicted and banned from all Disney parks forever). Or they’d be in a supernatural land where magic and different creatures exist. Or they’d be in a great big old Victorian mansion, with a blizzard outside, warm crackling fires and Christmas just a night away. Those are normally my three go to’s.

14. Which of your fics would you like to see turned into a movie the most?

Honestly, though you guys haven’t seen the actual story come out yet, it’s The Ever Young. I’ve been planning and playing with it for years, and while I normally have a really hard time visualizing things (most things come in words and sounds, not images), it’s actually one where I can almost see the scenes and the story as an actual episodic anime. There’s arcs, seasons, suspense, great action scenes, romance and hatred, and NO FANSERVICE.

15. Which of your characters do you think you would be the most friendly with?

Now, this one is an interesting question because it’s not who I like the most, which characters I favour and would want to have like me, but the characters I genuinely think would enjoy spending time with me. It took me a bit to think about but the answer I’ve come up, for each fandom, is below:

For Katekyo Hitman Reborn – Yamamoto, Skull, Enma, Tsuna, Chrome, Levi A Than, Lussuria, Spanner, Shoichi, Kusakabe, Basil, Lanchia

For K – Bandou, Shouhei, Fujishima, Dewa, Munakata, Shiro

For Nanbaka – Nico, Momoko, Seitarou, Qi, Kiji

For Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! – Iruma, Jazz, Lied, Elizabetta, Balam, Caim, Goemon

For Bungou Stray Dogs – Kunikida, Kenji, Tanizaki, Higuchi, SakuOda, Ango

For Servamp – Kuro, Misono

For Saiyuki – Gojyo, Hakkai, Yaone, Lirin

For Eyeshield 21 – Musashi, Mamori, Unsui

For Ronin Warriors – Cye, Mia, Rowen

For Kekkaishi – Masamori, Shu, Yukimasa, Tokine

For GetBackers – Ginji, Emishi, Natsumi

For Black Cat – Eve, Rinslet, Jenos, Kyoko

For Karneval – Nai, Yogi, Iva, Akari

For Gangsta. – Delico, Yang, Nina, Dr. Theo, Alex, Galahad

For Bleach – Kira, Momo, Hisagi, Rangiku, Orihime, Uryu

For Naruto – Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, Tenten, Rock Lee

For Deadman Wonderland – Shiro, Ganta, Karako

For Ouran – Honey, Haruhi, Mori, Nekosawa

For Durarara – Anri, Erika, Walker

For Yu Yu Hakusho – Keiko, Yukina

For Gintama – Shinpachi, Kyuubei, Zenzou, Madao, Kondo, Katsura

For Mystic Messenger – Jaehee, Yoosung

For Ikemen Revolution – Kyle, Blanc, Sirius, Luka

For Blush Blush – Nimh, Anon, William

For Date Warp – Linds, Rafael, Janet

For Hatoful Boyfriend – Ryouta

For The Outsiders – Ponyboy, Johnny, Darry

For Class of the Titans – Neil, Herry, Odie, Atlanta

For Ultimate Spider-Man – Ava, Luke, Harry, Flash

For Gravity Falls – Mabel, Stan, Soos

For The Mighty Ducks – Fulton, Averman, Goldburg, Connie

For The Covenant – Tyler, Pogue, Sarah

For Jungle Fury – Fran, Casey

For Ninja Storm – Dustin, Cam

For Mystic Force – Vida, Chip

For Holes – Stanley, Zero

16. Are there any ideas you are currently playing around with that you would like to write sooner or later?

Oh, there’s always a million ideas in my head. I don’t often have chances to write the ideas around, because I’m normally busy with something, so they just float around and never get used. I really do want to explore the pasts of a lot of my favourite characters, I’ve said for years I’ll get around to doing a next Gen full fic for KHR and a full fic werewolf pack AU for K, I have some original story ideas floating around (some paranormal erotica stuff)…like, there’s probably at least 50 different ideas for things I want to write floating around but it’s finding the time and mental energy to do so.

17. Favourite fic that is not written by you?

Impossible. Simply IMPOSSIBLE question. I have been extremely blessed to have found a fandom in KHR that has so many extremely talented or thought-provoking writers in it. In K, there are so many talented people coming up with interesting fics or just really amazing and interesting ideas. The same goes for the majority of my other fandoms (though there are some where I’m pretty sure I’m the only one writing in that fandom) and I admit to having really lucked out in finding fandoms where the pure creativity, passion, and talent the fandom has is astounding.

18. Have you ever written a personal experience into your fic?

Absolutely I have. Comfort fics or even writing traumatic experiences that you identify with into a fic can be incredibly therapeutic. I find it really helps me, in a lot of cases, to process my feelings around experiences when I get to write them out. Or some situations I’ve been in have been so weird and wonderful that they just can’t not be used to make a fic better or more interesting!

19. Who has been your favourite face claim to use?

Most of the icons I use are of characters I write about on the blog! My current icon is an anime version of me I commissioned. During my roleplaying days though, either Lenalee or Ami from Sailor Moon was one I used a lot.

20. Lastly, take your favourite character from any of your fics and tell us 3 things you like about him/her and 3 things you dislike?

Again, I don’t really have any favourites. I’ve been writing a lot of headcanon posts recently to build up a solid queue on the blog after the event’s end, so I’ll just go with the last character I wrote about for all the last three fandoms I wrote for!

Reborn from Katekyo Hitman Reborn – He has style, he’s always true to himself, he genuinely cares about his students…however, he can be overly harsh, he can be hypocritical, and he’s egotistical at times.

Munakata from K Project – he is very true to himself, he’s confident, he always tries his best…however, he’s too inflexible at times, his social skills suck, and he can’t read a room

Mikuni from Servamp – He’s so intelligent, he’s funny, he truly loves his brother…however, he can’t trust people, he’s flighty, and he likes to play with people’s heads

The Krang and their abilities

This is something I've been thinking about for a long time. And it only makes me love this movie and the new version of the Krang brothers more.

------------------

Let's start with the older brother.

It is clear that he is the self-proclaimed leader (probably because he is the greatest)

He has great fighting skills without the armor on him.

He is very strong, agile and most of all, he can sharpen his tentacles like daggers (when he faced helicopters).

He has this strange ability to block mystical powers (this he probably learned while he was trapped all these centuries in the key prison)

He has the ability to get into the mind of his victims (as he did with Raph in the interrogation), in some scenes that were deleted. Krang can be seen manipulating Raphael's memories, making him believe that he managed to escape and later seeing his family infected by him.

Another detail, is that the older brother. CANNOT, infect the victims of it.

Now, the middle sister.

She is very savage.

She loves to hunt (this is shown when she is hunting April, trying to retrieve the key from her)

She is very insistent and dedicated when it comes to ending her objective.

She can become sharp, two of her tentacles like blades.

She is very fast (probably faster than her older brother)

She has good vision in the dark.

Despite losing an eye, it was not an impediment to stop her.

She gets used to her surroundings very quickly from her.

Another curious fact is that her armor is like that of a hunting dog (emphasizing her role as a hunter).

It also cannot infect its victims.

And finally, the little brother.

Honestly, there aren't many skills that he has. He seems like the weakest of the team, but he clearly plays an important role in Krang's team.

He is not very fast, much less he can sharpen his tentacles like his two older brothers.

He can open portals.

His build is very thin (almost like a feather)

CAN infect its victims

He can build an army of infected.

It's clear that little Krang does most of the work. He is the calmest of the team. And despite not being the biggest or the fastest of his two older brothers, he is the most dangerous.

One touch to the little alien and it can cause an infection.

These are some of the abilities that were seen in the film. There may be more, but later I will explain what happened to each of them and their future.

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt movie #rottmnt krang #my theories #tmnt #tmnt 2018 #krang #this version of Krang is my favorite and I can't stop thinking about them.

This is for @tmnt-tychou Valentine’s Day prompt.

Immogene and Raphael

1. In which TMNT universe does your pairing exist?

Bayverse, but years later. The turtles are now a Spec Ops unit of the NYPD. They are in they early 40’s and late 30’s. Mutants are more common but tend to keep a very low profile.

2. Introduce us to your OTP.

Immogene (pronounced Imogen) or Gen Waters - She is 42 years old (in this universe), although her age varies depending on the RP or story I have her in. 5’11” and curvy (Ashley Graham is who I use for her body type). Long wavy curly red mahogany hair, tattoos that cover more than half of the left hand side of her body disguise the scarring she has. Her eyes are emerald green and she has fair skin. Within her genes is the blood of an ancient race, known as the Amazons.

Immogene is known for her wit and sometimes sharp tongue. Her skill with a bow and arrow is unparalleled. She is an artist and likes to work on her motorcycle. Kind and softhearted, though she guards her heart fiercely, Immogene has few that are close. Her personality is a mix of class and sass. Some nick names that she’s earned over the years (from various Raphael’s) are: Firecracker, Tiger, Princess (Raphael is the only one to call her that), Iron Butterfly and Candy Apple Vixen. She can be fierce when pushed or when needed. She’s not necessarily empathetic but she picks up on feelings easily. Immogene is often referred to as a badass, feisty and a sweetheart.

*Side Note - I have been often asked if I created an OC that would match Raphael. This question, rather than irritate me, makes me smile. Immogene is me, with very few differences. I choose to have her as an OC to keep my fantasies separate from my reality. In truth, when I first wrote my story, I was attracted to both Leo’s and Raph’s personalities. But, the more I played with them, the more I started leaning towards Raphael. I’ve RP’d with many ‘Raph’s’ over the years and I honestly feel the greatest connection with the Brute. So, rather than me ‘creating’ someone for him, he is actually…the perfect match for me (I’d like to add I support all ships). When this question pops up…I honestly take it as the highest compliment.

Raphael Hamato - He is 40 years old. 6’9, extremely muscular and large with it. His left arm is covered in a sleeve which depicts traditional Japanese imagery. Although he still has his famous temper, he’s learned to use it and fine tuned himself. Raphael is the rogue of the four. He occasionally takes missions with his brothers, but often seeks the ones that no one else wants to do. His brothers never know when he’ll show up for family dinners. He was the last of his brothers to take a mate.

3. How did they meet?

Oruko Saki in this universe is a billionaire tycoon. His alter ego (The Shredder), reigns in terror over the citizens of NYC. He is a collector of fine arts and priceless artifacts.

Seeing the art of Immogene Waters, he decided he had to have it…and the artist herself. Saki arranged to be an anonymous benefactor of her art to get her to NYC.

On the night of the attempted kidnapping Raphael happened to be in the neighbourhood and rescued her. At the time he had been impressed with the fight the woman had put up against the fiend. Although, she hadn’t left the scene unscathed.

Raphael made the decision to bring her back to the ‘lair’, which was now an entire apartment building complex where all the brothers lived. His decision had surprised everyone, including himself. There was something about those green eyes of hers.

Of course, the first time she saw him she startled, but reasoning took over and she realized this behemoth had rescued her.

Through happenstance and an unusual like for each others company, they got to know each other. Raphael discovered she somehow had a calming influence on him. All she had to do was walk into the room and his shoulders would visibly relax. She also had a tendency to challenge him with that tongue of hers. There was also the no end to his amusement with how she stood up to him.

Immogene found someone who accepted her. Who naturally understood her. His actions speaking louder than words. Underneath this brutish figure was a large heart. She, bit by bit softened towards him, letting him past the protection she had around her heart.

4. How is the relationship now?

Immogene and Raphael have an unbreakable bond. They banter together and get so much enjoyment out of it. She’s soft where he’s hard. They have similar dispositions but in ways that balance each other. Nothing soothes him like the way she says his name or when she caresses his jaw.

She’s never felt as safe as she does in his arms. A look from across the room between them speaks volumes. Raphael has always teetered on the edge of going one step too far. It’s what makes him so effective. Immogene keeps him on the side of good. With him, she has found her home. He his her home for a piece of her heart lives within his and vice versa for him. It’s the reason why I chose the image I did. Water and fire. When they meet it’s a blending of the two elements, unless it’s in the bedroom. Then the reaction more…explosive.

6. Do they get married or have any kids?

For the first part of the question, yes, they do eventually get married. It’s a private ceremony between the two of them. For the second part, I will say no, but will not reveal the reason why. There is the chance that this answer could come out in an RP I have, and I’m saving it for that.

7. What is your favorite thing about this pairing? Gush as much as you want!!!

Oh boy. Gushing. Here it comes. I love every single damn thing about this pairing. The way they fit together, the love they have for each other. How they crave each others touch. The way each says the others name. The passion they share. Good grief. *fans self*

The way they tease each other *grins*. They both get so much enjoyment out of it. In a way…it’s a subtle, or not so subtle (depending on who else is in the room), of flirting or even foreplay.

The both of them are unabashedly themselves, with each other they’ve found that one that gets and accepts them exactly the way they are. To this day, it still surprises Raphael that no matter what level of rage he’s in, a look, a touch or her even just softly saying his name can remove that red haze.

Raphael removed the shadows from her eyes. And the thing was, he did without really trying. He was being himself. It just happened to be everything she needed, Brute and all.

Raphael and Immogene. Two souls collided and did not become one, but a blend of the two. Although they are separate…it can be seen that they are intertwined so thoroughly, it would be impossible to untangle them.

Hi Rebs!! sorry this is probably a bit out of the blue but I just feel like there’re so many words and thanks I should’ve said to you but haven’t.

I’ve moved on a bit from the Sherlock fandom but the other day I saw someone saying how tjlc probably started the “shipping conspiracies” trend, and somehow I got a bit exhilarated remembering those days. Seeing how “outsiders” think of us is ~interesting~ (tho they probably still believe we were just overthinking), but as someone who firmly believed in tjlc back in the days, I knew I really enjoyed every minute of it. Being in this fandom gave me hope, helped me find my identity and changed my life. It was also one of the greatest fun I’ve ever had. If I got relive the pre-s4 era again I’d still choose to believe in tjlc. My life was difficult at that time, and you were one of those who showed me the light. Watching your videos always got me smiling and thinking I have to live to see the johnlock kiss, I need to know how much of it tjlc got right. Even if I didn’t get what I want in the end, I’d still prefer to live in hopes for a better future, still want to be amazed by the theories and your superb analytical skills.

So I want to thank you, for everything you’re doing now and everything you did back then. Your videos are one of the best on media analysis, and if tjlc started anything, imo it was teaching people literary techniques. I for one actually learned a lot more about storytelling from the meta than from school, and I couldn’t imagine how my life would’ve been if I were never part of this. Many have said this already but I also really want to say it again: it was never fair for people to blame you or others in tjlc for what s4 turned out to be. I was 16-17 back then too, and I think we all chose to believe in this ourselves. Not everything would turn out to be good, but there’s nothing wrong with believing in good things, and nothing wrong with wanting to share good things with others. If we were always “rational” about everything we wouldn’t have been this passionate, and if i weren’t passionate about it, it wouldn’t have been one of my mental support for many years. Even when Sherlock isn’t my favorite show anymore I’d always remember those days fondly and be grateful for what you’ve brought us :)

Sorry this got longer than I intended. I’m just really happy to see you back and find closure <3

Hi anon, thank you so much for writing! I've spent probably too much time thinking of the ways tjlc did or didn't end up shaping future fandoms and the way it was looked at by outsiders. But in the end I think I've come to the same conclusion as you, if I could go back, I *would* do things differently but I wouldn't undo being a part of tjlc. Like you said, in the end we were all just hoping for a better world, and I like to think that even the bad times had a positive impact in the end, I know I personally grew and matured a *lot* as a result. And yeah, learning about media analysis and Holmesian history and making friends, I wouldn't undo any of that.

I'm very happy to hear my old videos helped you learn analysis! That is definitely one of the highlights of the whole experience, and honestly hearing from so many people who did learn about literary analysis through my work has pushed me to potentially pursue transitioning to teaching English (or at least picking it up part time). So thank you! (And everyone else who has sent me something similar)

And thank you for looking back on my work so kindly and so generously. I always see that as the gift it is and I never take it for granted. I hope you have a lovely evening or whatever time of day it is for you! <3

✰ Reflection: seojun looks back on the final episode and his performance of hug ✰

he’s here again for the final time to reflect on everything that happened. it only seems like yesterday that he was just performing my turn for the first time and showing off how much of a performer he seemed to be on stage. he feels his eyes prickling with tears but he’s not gonna cry. he usually sucks in his emotions unless he’s on stage or he’s near someone he’s comfortable with. he doesn’t need the cameras to catch him crying over this being the end of next gen. he was stronger than that. if anything he’d wait till he was back home to do so and then vent to haneul. his best friend always knew how to calm him down and deal with whatever emotions decided to spring up on him.

stepping into the room again, he lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. this was it. he wouldn’t get to see this room again and he was sure he’d never get to see some of these people again either. not that he was being pessimistic but it seems some of them wouldn’t cross paths again. unless they saw him busking then he’d eagerly go and say hi. shaking away the thoughts, he looked over at the camera, ready to answer the questions given to him.

what was the greatest challenge during this mission?

he shouldn’t be surprised by this question but maybe it’s due to it being the final episode that he doesn’t think he’d hear it again. there are always challenges but he wonders how much improvement he’s shown to the judges during everything. “the rapping parts was a challenge for sure. i know i’ve practiced enough but it still feels off to rap. i’m always so focused on singing and dancing that i don’t think of rapping. i appreciate getting the chance to do it again though and hope i improved in that regard since the first time i rapped here.”

do you feel confident in your performance?

“honestly, i do. i know i’ve said that a lot for each performance i’ve done but i always feel so alive on stage. it give me the same feeling when i’m busking or doing a dance cover where anyone can see it. i just feel i become more confident being on stage compared to off it.” he admits easily, giving a gentle smile. he knows there was a bit of fumbling here and there but it seems they all recovered very quickly in his eyes. it wasn’t like he was able to watch his teammates but he had confidence in them all.

were you happy with your group for the finale?

“i was. he giggles instantly. “i mean getting to work alongside haneul again was something i was definitely happy about. i’m never against getting to work alongside my best friend. i didn’t interact too much with the others but getting to know sarang was nice. i hope we get to keep in touch after this. i wouldn’t mind being his friend.” he feels his smile growing as after he finished answering the question. he means it all and at the end of the day even if he didn’t interact with his other teammates, he’d easily perform beside them again. he enjoyed the chemistry they all seemed to exude on stage. it was perfect.

how do you feel about your overall performance for next gen?

thinking it all over, seojun reflects back to how he started from when he auditioned to now. it was a lot of hard work that he knows at time took a toll on him but he made sure to try and put out his one hundred percent no matter what. “i’m proud of myself. i got to show sides of myself to everyone that only a few people have seen as well as perform knowing that many people will be watching. each song has been their own challenges but i’ve learned a lot throughout it all. i know i will take everything i’ve learned to help me improve further in my skills. even being someone who just dances, it seems i’ve grasped even improving in that.”

he smiles brightly before giving a slight bow. he appreciates his time here, glad to have the chance to able to showcase everything to not only the judges but anyone who has decided to tune in to watch next gen. he walks away from the room feeling his shoulders relax as he tries to smile. the other emotions can unleash later, he was going to miss this.

Blorbo’s Shifting Log 17.07.2022

* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚ * ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ

Spoiler : mini shifting, lucid dreaming, & feelings of astral projection??? haven’t managed to shift and stay in my DR’s, but holy cow you guys I’m getting there??

* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚ * ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ

Firstly, I’m??? 2 followers away from 50?? Holy 🐮 because I never thought that many people would be interested in my multiversal exploration shenanigans but, um, thank you??? It might not be a lot to some people, but for someone who started with zero intention of making a following and just wanted a place to infodump about my shifting experience without judgment it’s insane so just wanted to give a quick shoutout to you all <3 love you guys!!!

I. HAVE. GOTTEN. SO. CLOSE. OH MY GOD YOU GUYS IM CRYING, SCREAMING, THE WORKS??!! TL;DR, I’ve revisited my attitude towards shifting, as well as my methodology and honestly doing so has given me the greatest opportunity at success I’ve ever had and I can honestly feel it. I’ve been manifesting things daily on command without even meaning to, from songs on the radio to how my days at work go (when I’m lazy it stays empty and when I’m bored it suddenly jumps to being busy and full of fun projects to keep occupied?? as soon as I think it??)

I’ve essentially taken an “if it happens, it happens” mentality. I mean, I’ve lived 21+ years of my life not shifting to these fantastical places I dream about, and I’ve only been trying for about 2-3 years now. In the grand scheme of things, that’s no time at all. I mean, considering how long it’s taken me to learn other things like driving, guitar, and even how to write in a style I’m happy with, that’s hardly any time at all?? Furthermore, if reality is maleable and all based on perspective, why am I putting all this effort to shift to some far off distant land when I can just?? Improve my daily life with this energy and focus on being happy (or at minimum, okay with) my current reality and circumstances. And that’s what I’ve been doing!

Ever since I decided this, I’ve been having extremely vivid dreams and come close to lucid dreaming several times. I mean I actually had a dream I was talking to Dr. Strange about the multiverse for crying out loud???? I never, EVER dream about my comfort characters and suddenly without warning I dream about this magical father figure and he talks to me about the multiverse and shifting??? I promise I’ve never been able to induce dreams like that no matter what I’ve tried before. I’ve opened my sleepy eyes to rooms that are unfamiliar, and while meditating on my own just to fall asleep I’ve felt myself experiencing shifting symptoms even though I wasn’t actively trying to shift??

I know this is easier said than done for some people, especially people who are in more troublesome circumstances than I in this reality. However, I truthfully think focusing on making your current life bearable (dare I say, pleasant?) is a great way to improve your shifting skills. After all, shifting isn’t a physical movement nor is it a drastic change. Shifting means that: to shift. To shift your perspective on how you view the world around you! Once you do this, you start to realize just how simple shifting was all along and who knows? The next time you actively try to shift you might just wind up opening your eyes in a world just as real as this one, but with all your desires already come true <3

𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚎𝚛 𝚜𝚞 : 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟹 𝚛𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠

“what were some of your greatest accomplishments this year and out of all of them, which one was the most memorable one for you?”

“I never thought that I could say that this year was better than last year since that was the year I debuted, but I’m always glad to be proven wrong. In all honestly, there were some rough patches, but I say that overall it’s been a really great year. I got to be featured on an artist’s song — even if it was just an indie artist— I got to debut in China, and I got to be in a musical. I really got to do a lot of performing, and that’s what I’ve been really wanting! I think being on Future Dreams again has also been a really amazing thing. Honestly, hyung, I don’t care if I lose. I got to compete against so many of my peers and do pretty well, and I think I learned a lot. When we had our comeback, I honestly thought I was a better performer than I was at the start of the year. Ehe… I know I still have a lot of growing to do, but still. If I have to pick one, I definitely think it was joining Future Dreams again.”

“what area(s) do you think you’ve personally improved on since the beginning of this year? [please list out the skill(s) and reason(s) why]”

“I think I definitely improved on dancing. I was brought in as a vocalist, and I know that I was told time and time again that I needed to get better at dancing, but I didn’t expect to be a lead dancer. That’s wild but I know I worked so hard for that, and I’m crazy proud of myself! Other than that, I think probably acting. It’s still something I want to work on to make my stage presence better, but I think I had some pretty good improvement, and I got an acting gig in Mama Mia!... Er, kind of, but you get what I mean. I still think I’ve made some good strides.”

“what are some of your personal goals for 2024?”

“Next year I want to definitely do more musicals, but also maybe I want to do hosting? I don’t know, but, hyung, you know I like to talk and I’m social— maybe it could be fun. I enjoyed taking on that mc position when we went to that amusement park, and it’s something not focused on singing. I love singing but maybe next year I should try something new! Though… I don’t think I’m ready to rap. I think it’s best if I leave that to the other members.”

“in the group, what do you consider your biggest weakness and what can you do to improve on it?”

“It seems like a copout to say my biggest weakness is rapping or my height. But in all honesty, I think my biggest weakness is I still have a lot to learn in terms of composting and writing music. I know Daeho has contributed to some of our releases, and I have some experience in Future Dreams, but I don’t think I am where I want to be when it comes to that kind of contribution. I still think I can improve on everything, even my singing and delivery."

“aside from the role attached to you (eg. main vocalist, lead dancer, etc.) what else do you think you contribute to the group?”

“I think what I bring is that I’m friendly, does that count? I typically get along with a variety of people, and so even when we welcomed the new members, I really tried hard to make sure they were welcome, and they weren’t scared or felt left out. I mean, I was in their position once, but even more than that, I like to think I’m someone my members can rely on as a friend. Of course, we have Daeho to lead us, but I think I contribute a lot of good vibes! Do you remember our Halloween costume? Going as the Power Rangers was my idea! I thought it’d be fun if we had a group costume to make us really feel like a team! Er, well, I also asked Yeonwoo and Jiho to join us, but that’s also because what’s the Power Rangers if we didn’t have the full spectrum of colors.”

“as a group, what do you hope to accomplish in the next year or two?”

“I want to release a full album and go on tour! I know two might be a stretch, so I’ll stick with one. I want people to really love our music, support us, and get really excited when we announce a group tour! I wasn’t around when LGC Boys went on tour, but I think I would prefer to do with just Type Zero. To be able to see our fans together and go places, maybe not just China, would be amazing. And then we can have cool solo stages that will make our fans go wild! That’s what I really want, hyung! I want a world tour!”

“I Am YEG Arts” Series: Mike Lundy

There are no days more full than the ones we look back on. That understanding of nostalgia is something Mike Lundy knows better than most. For more than six years, he and his partner, Brittni, have been reaching into the past for the inspiration behind their Canadian apparel line, Flannel Foxes. Though Lundy’s design may borrow unabashedly from the past, his mandate for the business reflects what he values today: creating ethically made, socially conscious goods that celebrate the place he calls home—beautiful Western Canada.

Designer, collaborator, and big fan of good folks—this week’s “I Am YEG Arts” story belongs to Mike Lundy.

Tell us about your connection to Edmonton and why you’ve made it your home.

I never pictured Edmonton being my home. I moved here for school to study design at MacEwan, and as Edmonton grew on me, my roots here grew deeper. It’s Canada’s biggest small town, with a welcoming warmth and community that makes me feel at home.

How did Flannel Foxes come to be, and where do you hope to take it next?

My partner, Brittni, actually started Flannel Foxes with her friend. What began as a blog was re-imagined as a clothing brand, and then when I got involved in 2016, we developed the visual identity and apparel. For the last six years we’ve been exploring Canada West, finding inspiration and reflecting it in our clothing.

Looking forward, we plan to continue to expand our range of gear, to collaborate with good folks, and to hopefully do some good for our community in the process.

You describe your apparel as “durable and ethically made in Canada (whenever possible) with partners that treat their people right.” Why was that essential to your brand, and what about that has proven the greatest reward?

Our brand celebrates Canada and the wonderful people who call this land home. We can’t honestly do that without commemorating the craft and skill of Canadian manufacturers. That’s why 100% of our gear is made in Canada. Our investments stay in the community, and as a reward we get to develop long-term relationships with our manufacturers.

What is the creative process like for you? Where do you usually begin?

The inspiration for Flannel Foxes designs comes from a place of nostalgia. Brittni and I visit antique malls and shops, getting a creative spark from old shirts, hats, travel brochures, maps, and even tractor manuals. Once we have our inspiration, the design process starts. I draw, push pixels, and work with our manufacturers until I have a collection that reflects the nostalgic mood that we’re targeting.

How important has collaboration been to your career, and why are you drawn to it?

Other people do a whole lot of cool things. When we work together, we can make something new—a crossover between two people or brands that is more than the sum of its parts. Collaboration in the context of Flannel Foxes has given us opportunities to work with our favourite brands, restaurants, and even CBC!

When you’re taking a break from a project, what will we likely find you doing?

I like to cook, and sometimes my personal social media feeds look more like a food blogger’s than a designer’s. If I’m not working, chances are I’m making some food.

How have you grown as an artist/designer throughout your career. What’s been the biggest change, and what’s stayed the same?

I’ve experienced a lot of the different facets of visual design. I started out designing a lot of websites, worked as an art director at an ad agency, and have freelanced doing brand and packaging design. I love learning new skills, and I think all that experience changed me, giving me a holistic approach to design.

What has stayed the same? I still really get a kick out of designing.

Who’s someone inspiring you right now?

I love the work that Jessica Nepton-Chaye is doing with Copper Cherry. She’s making beautiful bags and backpacks right here in Edmonton. Her dedication to craft and quality is remarkable!

Tell us about what you’re currently working on or hoping to explore next.

We’re working on a few collaborations with folks that mean a lot to us and to Edmonton. Keep your eyes peeled and you’ll see what I mean!

When you think YEG arts, what are the first three things, people, or places that come to mind?

The Royal Bison Art & Craft Fair. They’ve created a place where Edmonton’s artists and designers can showcase their weird and wonderful creations.

MacEwan. It’s where I learned my craft and developed roots in the Edmonton arts community.

The murals. I love the murals and street art across Edmonton. A couple of my faves are the giant Mr. Cenz piece on the back of The Monolith and Jill Stanton’s mural on the Varscona.

Want more YEG Arts Stories? We’ll be sharing them here all year and on social media using the hashtag #IamYegArts. Follow along! Click here to learn more about Mike Lundy, Flannel Foxes, and to shop their apparel.

About Mike Lundy

Mike Lundy is the co-owner of Flannel Foxes and an Edmonton-based designer. When he isn’t designing apparel, he attempts to run a design studio with a focus on branding and packaging design. In a previous life, he was an art director and a website designer at a few of western Canada’s most celebrated ad agencies and design studios. Mike moved to Edmonton in 2007 after growing up in northern Brazil, and is grateful to have this wonderful city as home, even if he’s not quite used to the winters.

Dec 12 2022 (4:00pm)

Here’s a question: to what degree was my massive commitment to music an expression of fear toward not being able to do anything else as good?

The basic aim of music, at least a career in it, is to impress. That’s a career minded goal, to impress.

The goal of becoming a full time musician wasn’t to bring peace, balance and stability to my life, it was to avoid having to do things that I was not good at. Things that were complicated that I didn’t like. Things that might make me feel dumb or bad, or make it clear to me that my skills there were sub-par. (You can’t be good at everything, not even par, for the record).

I think of someone who grew up in a large bustling household, mom, dad, siblings. I didn’t, so I don’t naturally seek to recreate that social bustle, stability, familiarity in my life. If I did have that sort of upbringing, I’d probably be far more attracted to getting a job and building myself a strong foundation that family and friends and such could be supported on.

Home for me was an escape from the world though. It was the one place where I could be left alone, and play lego, build a vision, some fun and fantastic, simple and pure. That’s kinda what pursuing music is all about for me, building an ideal.

The problem is, home was, in fact, more than that to me. It was a place to convene with family and friends and have fun, and live life happily. Eat together, watch TV together, be together. Home is where you’re together, where you learn and grow, where you can escape from the world.

I suppose part of my challenging period right now, and something I’ve obviously been trying to articulate and integrate, is that I have not acknowledged that that is my ideal, swimming around in the unconscious. My passion for music was so intense that there was no room for anything else. Not to mention, I was still within that home structure then, so I did not even have the urge to recreate it anew.

I want a great job so that I can create a great home that models what I’ve loved about all the homes that my mother has made for me. She has made so many great homes for me, always food, always had everything I wanted (wow), I had room to explore and relax and have fun and be myself. Of course there are things I didn’t like, but I honestly can’t think of much past my current disgust with the amount of clutter and general refuse.

I want a home. That is my masculine urge, to make a home where everybody comes together and lives and laughs and explores and learns, and loves, and cares for one another.

I want to be a great provider like my mom. My mom was the ultimate builder in my life. She gave me something to build on, by providing me with a rock solid foundation that never ever so much as wiggled.

That is my best destination, to distill the best of what my mother has taught me into a home, and to be an artist of course, which at this point is just practice and continuing to explore life and challenge myself.

Pursuing music head on was exactly what I needed to do. To jump as high as I could with my insane youthful spirit and see how high I could get. Luckily, I didn’t fly off into the sky, I touched back down hard to the foundation I started. Now, I get to build something 10 times, 100 times better with what I’ve learned. I’ll build up to my dreams, instead of trying to jump up to them. It’s too much for a single leap, so I need to build a tower up. (These metaphors may be meandering heavily, but I like them.)

I guess part of my occasional weird vibes with home are that I feel like I’ve grown so much these past years, but I’m back in my same room, same house, places that are somewhat symbolic of a past time.

The reality of that is, this is my home, and I am gifted. This is my home where I started out on the greatest, most challenging journey I have ever departed on. It’s not the shining temple that I wanted to reach, but it’s home and it welcomes me back with open arms, myself bruised and battered, ready to help me create the next masterpiece of my life. It’s my workshop.

replica birkin bag 13

Check out my blog post on The Difference Between Legal Designer-Inspired Handbags and Fake Designer Goods to be taught extra about why I recommend designer-inspired purses over the real deal. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, you most likely may know that I’m an enormous fan of Hermés. Although their leather-based goods come with 5-figure and even 6-figure worth tags, I can’t deny the success of the brand’s designs as a end result of I love them myself.

You are bidding on a brand new 30cm Togo Leather Bright Red Birkin Bag. This bag is produced in top quality Togo Leather of High Quality and Excellent Workmanship. The product line may be very extensive, focusing primarily on women, with the leather-based items being the first focus. From every little thing that you have learn so far, it probably doesn’t look like I’m an advocate for replica purses. I just want everyone to concentrate to the reality that there are risks out there. One I gifted myself once I didnt know higher and one was a gift from my husband. Hey Melanie, The retailer I’ve got my best Hermes replica bag is closed now. I can suggest this retailer, as a outcome of I’ve received several prime quality imitations from them, however they were largely Louis Vuitton knockoffs. One of the most talked about Choo bag is the model made of black crocodile leather, called Bari bag. There are solely ten copies of such bag that is sold in the US and it's worth $28,000.
