Have you guys seen the new Detroit sign

Yeah, it kinda sucks ass

And no I'm not saying this because I saw the obviously AI generated image and my expectations were high, I'm saying this because I'm a graphic design student. Also, the first one still looks like shit and it lacks creativity. It's basically a copy of the Hollywood sign. Have the people who've seen the AI generated image seen what literally anything looks like? Are they stupid? Even the mayor is disappointed. Come the fuck on.

Not to worry, I've come up with a solution. I'm not saying this should be the final solution, but I think it's better than the one where you just use a masking tool to paint parts of the Detroit sports logos over the existing sign letters. I can't find a photo of it.

The solution? Random typography. Not many brands are bold enough to use it. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the logo for CCS (College for Creative Studies), also in Detroit!

Top image is the acronym, bottom is the full logo. It even shows a grid system!

Maybe if we weren't such cowards, we could incorporate random typography into more brands. I'll be bold enough to take on that task.

You might wonder, how will you choose the typefaces? Using Detroit company logos and taking from those. But I won't do it randomly. In fact, I've done research on Detroit companies and when they were founded. Here are some that I've found.

Comerica: 1849

Carhartt: 1889

Ford: 1903

Faygo: 1907

Little Caesar's: 1959

DTE Energy: 1996

Oh yeah, those letters I filled in? They spell out "etroit." The D will be the Detroit sports logo used for the Lions and the Tigers.

Using some crude editing in Google Slides, I've managed to create this logo.

This uses the following:

The "D" in the Detroit lettermark

The "e" in the Comerica wordmark

A "t" in the Carhartt wordmark

A cursive "r" in the Ford wordmark

The "o" in the Faygo wordmark

The "i" in the Little Caesar's wordmark

The "T" in the DTE wordmark

Crazy? Yes. Maybe this is why most logos stick to just one typeface. But we're building a city sign, dammit! Why shouldn't we break the rules? This is certainly better than the Helvetica ass sign they have out there! There's been diss tracks made, that should be enough to convince the city to change the sign and get some real designers involved!

Also here's a better sign where all the letters are about the same size

I like this one better. There's even a consistent color palette of blue, black and orange, colors associated with the Lions and the Tigers. Where they are, however, is not very consistent. The tones are all different! Do we use all blue at this point? Maybe black? Maybe keep the D blue and also make "et" blue, then "ro" black, then "iT" orange? Or does it look fine like this?

Maybe later I'll find a way to 3D model this

Connor(RK800) X F.Reader - Safe heaven (Part 4)

Hart Plaza

10 August 2040 - 12:37

Michigan, Detroit

In Connor's mind, the same scene from last night played over and over again. Y/N lying on his body, kissing intimately... It had been beautiful and Connor would have been willing to take another step. But was she ready for it? And what if he would do something wrong? Even accidentally hurt her? He had never done it before. Of course he could exchange all databases about sex and tenderness, but still the android was nervous. He cared a lot about Y/N, and he wanted to make her happy.

"Connor!"

Connor's LED lit up yellow as Hank addressed him for the third time now.

"Oh, sorry Lieutenant..."

Hank frowned as he took a sip from his soft drink.

"What's wrong with you, Connor?"

The android was silent at first, but he felt the need to talk to Hank about his feelings. The two had known each other for two years now and together they had been through a lot. Hank was like a father to Connor. And now here they both sat, in Hank's car, watching and, if necessary, arresting a suspected drug dealer.

"Hank, can I ask you something?"

"Uh huh?"

Hank bit into his sandwich, waiting to hear what Connor might have on his mind.

"It... it's about Y/N."

That's when the old lieutenant's ears perked up and he gulped down the bite before wrapping the sandwich back up in the bread paper.

Hank wasn't stupid. He knew Y/N and Connor had a huge soft spot for each other. But what the two of them were up to in his house, he didn't know.

"I... really like Y/N a lot."

The android sighed as he let himself sink all the way back into the seat and looked outside into the distance.

"Okay. So?"

Hank wondered what was bothering and tormenting the android. Y/N, on the other hand, seemed to be doing better than ever. He knew it was because of Connor, and if Y/N was doing well with the android, then they both had Hank's blessing. But what was Connor racking his brains over?

"Well, last night, we got closer. I... You... Well, Hank..."

"God, Connor, no! What have you been doing on my couch?! I sleep on there most of the time, for God sake!"

"Easy Hank! We haven't done anything!"

"I should hope so!"

Hank grumbled deeply, and sighed another deep "God." As much as he liked the two of them, his couch was not being messed with!

Hank took a big gulp of his drink before looking at Connor, waiting for him to continue talking.

"Connor, come on. What's wrong?"

"I keep thinking about Steven. About what else must have happened that night. I can't stand the thought of that asshole raping her!"

Hank nodded silently as he continued to listen to Connor. He listened to him pour out his whole heart. Hank could understand that this whole story had hurt him and he knew why it had. The lieutenant smiled slightly as it only proved how much Connor liked Y/N.

"Hank, I care a lot for Y/N and I want to be closer to her. But how can I do that if I don't know if..."

♦♦♦♦

"Listen, son. I know it's not an easy situation. Shit, I mean! There's a lot you're feeling all at once!"

Hank could guess how hard it must be for Connor to understand and accept how many feelings were coming at him. That Connor was more unsettled didn't surprise the lieutenant.

"Hank... what else happened that night?"

There had been another interview at the police station, but Connor had not been there. Hank, accordingly, knew more than he did.

"I can't ask her about it! She's starting to get better and I don't want to ruin her mood by bringing up this guy. I just... can't stand to see her tortured!"

"Connor..."

"Lieutenant... please..."

Hank saw that lost look on Connor's face, saw how distraught he was. Hank sighed softly, nodded gently several times.

"Okay. Okay, Connor..."

Maybe Y/N should tell on his own, but he couldn't keep Connor in the dark. The android was so desperate and probably didn't trust himself to approach Y/N about the evening.

"She described everything to me again. And she..."

But he didn't get any further; the suspect was just leaving the building across the street and there was no way Hank was going to lose sight of him, especially since the suspected guy seemed to be in a hurry.

"Shit... We've got to get after him!"

Connor sighed, because the timing couldn't have been shittier. Together with Lieutenant Hank, he left the car. The conversation between Connor and Hank would probably have to wait...

Hank's house

10 August 2040 - 19:14

Michigan, Detroit

Y/N was emptying the dishwasher. She was helping Hank out a bit as long as she got to live with him. In a week, she could then move into her own apartment, which was not far from Hank's place. The thought comforted her, knowing that she would always have a place of refuge if she ever needed anything. Although she was alone more often than not, she felt especially lonely at the moment. She had made great progress with her fears and memories regarding Steven but every now and then, unpleasant memories would come up. As she cleaned up the dishes, she thought of all the times Steven had called her stupid, because she might have burned the food once or, in his opinion, salted it indelibly. Or all the times the kitchen wasn't tidy enough. These many, little things kept coming back to her, hurting her deeply, and Y/N wondered what she had done to deserve such treatment. Why had Steven tortured her like this? After all, he could have left if he had been so unhappy with her. But instead he had chosen to turn her life into a living hell.

The first tears formed in her eyes, obscuring her vision, but she made no sound. She just let the tears run down her face, her cheeks began to glow, until she eventually sobbed out loud. Instantly, she put aside the cup she had been holding and leaned against the counter, burying her face in her hands as she finally burst into tears. Y/N didn't know what was happening to her. But from the looks of it, the pain was still so deep inside her that she wanted to cry. So much had built up inside her.

"Y/N?"

The young woman startled slightly when she heard Hank's voice and when she turned around, she accidentally threw one of the plates on the floor, which then lay in two halves in front of her. Y/N looked at the plate, feeling just as broken and lost at the moment.

"Hey, kiddo. Connor's with... me..."

Hank saw the young woman's face and instantly worried about her. He fell silent, but walked up to her and stopped right in front of her.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to" she whispered, pointing at the broken plate. But Hank just smiled warmly at her and shook his head. What did one broken object matter? Nothing at all.

"It's all right, sweetheart. It's okay..."

Y/N snuggled into the Lieutenant's arms, crying softly as he just held her. Connor watched the whole thing from the living room and suffered with Y/N.

"Hank..."

The young woman sobbed, burying her face deeper against his chest, and he just held her quietly for as long as she wanted. The lieutenant glanced at Hank and the android returned his gaze with a pained expression...

It was still the same night and Y/N came only slowly to rest. It was already one o'clock in the morning, but she was still awake in Connor's arms. It was good to have him around, to feel how much security and love he gave her. At some point her tears had dried up as well, only silence surrounded them both in the arms of the night. Here, in their room, in the soft sheets.

"Nothing was ever right for him. There was always a reason he got violent. Always a reason to yell at me..."

Outside, a heavy summer rain was raging. Now and then you could hear it thundering softly.

"..."

Connor clenched his jaw tightly as he stroked her hair gently, though.

"I was thinking about him. Sometimes... in one moment, these memories come up and I can't turn them off. It's like I'm still seeing everything clearly in front of me," she whispered.

"Y/N..."

"And in those moments I feel helpless, alone and lost..."

Connor squeezed her gently, pressing a kiss to her head, closing his eyes as he did so.

"And that awful night, he tried to.... me..."

The young woman could hardly say it, too hideous was simply the memory of what had happened. She had just seen that knife in front of her, had screamed for him to stop this shit. But his look had been so cold. So empty and cold... as if a demon had looked at her. A soulless being. Yes, that was the correct term.

"Did... he rape you, Y/N?"

Connor needed to know, and he needed to know everything. Hank hadn't told him in the end, because in the end it was Y/N's decision to talk about the details.

"..."

Y/N remained silent for a long time and Connor thought his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Had he gotten too close to her after all? He didn't move, but waited for any reaction from her.

"He... forced himself on me. Tried to take by force what I wouldn't give him. But I didn't let that happen, Connor..."

Hearing her words, relief showed on his face. Connor closed his eyes, processing her words, hugging her tighter again.

"And then he got really angry, hitting me, ripping my clothes, trying to intimidate me. But I wasn't going to take it anymore, Connor. It had to end," she softly stated. "That's when I ran out of the house and called Hank."

Connor remembered the call very well. They had been on the scene within minutes and had found Y/N. Terrified and shaking all over.

"Then I saw him... with the knife in his hand, he had come outside to me. And..."

She broke off the conversation, not wanting to talk about it anymore, not being able to. It was so damn hard for her.

"It's okay. It's okay, Y/N... You go to sleep now..." She had to be very exhausted. "I'll stay with you."

"Thank you, Connor... I'm so glad to have found you. I love you," she whispered as she closed her eyes. Connor had to comprehend her words first, his LED light turned yellow, rotating rapidly, and he blinked a few times before answering her.

"I..." He moistened his lips with his tongue "I love you too, Y/N. Very much..."

You were sleeping so peacefully and I didn't have the heart to wake you. I miss you already and can't wait to hold you in my arms tonight.

The next morning the sun was shining. There was no trace of the thunderstorm that had raged during the night. It was early in the morning when Y/N woke up. She had expected Connor to be lying next to her, but that was not the case. Slowly she opened her eyes and found the side of the bed next to her empty.

"Connor?"

Presumably he had already left for work. As Y/N slowly sat up, she saw a red rose placed next to her on the empty side of the bed. A soft smile crept onto her lips. Connor had also left a little note...

I love you.

Connor

Y/N took the rose and smelled it. A very delicate fragrance emanated from it and she took great pleasure in Connor's gesture. Her heart beat like crazy when she thought of how they had both confessed their love to each other. It had come easily to her lips and she was incredibly happy to have finally said it.

Next chapter coming soon...

I decided to bring a pretty crazy thing here, hehe.

There is a popular series of books in Russia that is not very well known abroad. The idea is that in this world there are cyborgs that look like ordinary people, but are sold as machines. There are combat cyborgs, nanny cyborgs, etc. In general, these are truly machines, but some cyborgs (combats and spies) can acquire human feelings and personality from a time - they are called “thwarted” and are immediately destroyed when discovered. It is totally legally. But there are people who, contrary to the general trend, are kind to such creatures and help them hide, accept them as friends and family members, or even fight for their rights.

So, I've been thinking for a long time about an AU in which Ronan is not human. He is one of those machines that has gained mind, which was noticed by his owner. In a panic (because thwarted cyborgs are often aggressive, as a rule, there are reasons for this, but people don’t care about it), he used cruelty, but did not call a special team to destroy the “thwarted” cyborgs, because he thought that his “machine” is no longer viable because of him, so to speak. So he just threw it out of sight. However, Krennic, who was probably just relaxing while hanging around the city, came across a cyborg who was still alive. He understood what was happening, but for some reason decided not to report it to the appropriate place or simply leave it. He found a specialist who could fix the cyborg, and then helped him pretend to be a human and join the Empire as his assistant (after all, this guy will definitely be forever grateful to him and will do anything for him, right?). I have two options for what could happen next:

1) In Ronan's Ascendancy recruitment scene, Thrawn would have caught him not hating Palpatine, but by recognizing who he really was. Krennic would make sure Ronan didn't give himself away even to the most powerful scanners and so on, but hey, Thrawn can't be fooled!

2) The scene from Treason would have gone the same way as in the canon, but later (I did not think through this moment in detail) a situation would have been created where Ronan again ended up on the Chimera or in another imperial facility. It would create a situation where, in order to protect everyone, he would have to give himself away and use his potential as a machine to repel an attack that could not be stopped in any other way. Ronan would be sure that now he would either be destroyed or simply kicked out in disgrace, but, as we know, Thrawn is not one of those who judge by origin. He would have allowed him to stay… which earned him eternal devotion, in fact, but Ronan still continued to bark at him, so as not to give away a change in his attitude simply out of stubbornness :D

okay first of all, sorry for how late this is lol, secondly THIS GIVES ME SUCH STRONG DETROIT BECOME HUMAN VIBES HOLY SHIT. I don't know if you've heard of dbh but it has a similar premise and I was obsessed with it for a while. the reason I'm bringing this up is because in dbh androids had little circular led lights on the side of their head which would glow blue for stable, yellow for strained and red for instability. and when they became deviant (gained consciousness) the lights would correspond to their emotions and mood. anyway this whole tangent is to say that if Ronan was an android his led would be red all the time and it would be hilarious

now back on track

I REALLY love this idea, the image of Ronan standing quietly while Krennic pokes around inside some open panel to do some maintenance instantly popped into my mind. And it's in character for Krennic to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate a loyal subordinate (plus he'll have his very own life size doll to play dress up with lol). Maybe they even had this long period where Ronan was still a bit beat up and missing some parts so he couldn't walk around in public. And in that interim he only knew the person who cared for and helped fix him, namely Krennic.

both of these scenarios work really well! in fact one way Thrawn could catch him is thanks to his infrared vision, a machine could possibly simulate human body heat but with the amount of attention Thrawn pays to it, he would have figured out something was off eventually. This scenario could also work alongside canon, I think. Thrawn could use this as additional blackmail to Ronan's beliefs (imagine if that's what made Vader even more dangerous to him, he would instantly recognize he's not looking at a human because of the Force). Another candidate for figuring it out would be Dayja because our boy is so clever - he'd probably postpone bringing it up because the most valuable information is the one only you know and by the time he decides to do something with it, Ronan would already have been spirited away to the Ascendancy.

And oooh the second one is interesting! One thing that instantly comes to mind (totally not because I've considered it a thousand times for dbh fics haha) is that machines can probably sustain a lot more damage than humans so they could step into the line of fire to protect one. Even just getting injured would give him away which makes the scene on the Firedrake all the more interesting because Ronan came within an inch of getting shot which in this case would have given him away in front of everyone.

"but Ronan still continued to bark at him, so as not to give away a change in his attitude simply out of stubbornness" LOL Ronan's cat like attitude strikes again! He acts like he hates his master but really he's actually very loyal. It's even funnier because Krennic is that one 'owner' that the cat sucks up to and no one even knows why. Only the cat.

#thank you for the ask!!#now all my dbh feels are coming back again #it doesn't help that my dbh blorbo was just as prickly as Ronan #Gavin Reed my beloved I miss him so much

I was wondering what if Optimus prime from transformers animated end up in the world of attack on Titan instead of Optimus, prime (transformers prime) and how would that play out?

Let's say TFA Optimus gets zapped to the AOT world during the season 2 finale with the spacebridge. He kind of gets caught up in it along with TFA Megatron as they are trying to escape and lands right in the middle of Trost during episode five. Same motions kind of happen. They are able to retake Trost, but instead of an Optimus who's willing to stay, TFA Optimus kind of wants to leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to help. Quite the opposite. It's just that he's in the middle of a war of his own and he needs to get back to his team, Detroit, and stop Megatron because he's not sure where TFA Megatron is. And he says that in the Judgement Day, in front of everyone. Military Police are suspicious of this and think TFA Optimus is going to bring back more enemies, which TFA Optimus vehemently denies. If anything, he would bring back more allies! This whole situation for you guys is horrible! But if he doesn't make sure TFA Megatron is taken care of, along with the other Decepticons who might still be at large, a lot more people could end up suffering because of it.

This would be where Erwin would come in and explain that TFA Optimus and the Survey Corps could work together. If TFA Optimus helps them expand territory and fight back against the titans, he'll have more resources to get home. Because the people of the Walls don't know what's out there, and neither does Optimus. He'll end up blind, even lost. This is a situation where both parties can benefit from each other. TFA Optimus decides...this is probably the better course of action, and he ends up staying and aiding the Survey Corps.

Now the Survey Corps and the 104th can't help but marvel at how tiny Optimus is. But he's still a very skilled fighter. TFA Optimus is understandably concerned and cautious at how Hanji has taken such an interest with him and how he works. They do manage to recreate a knock-off energon source via TFA Optimus' instructions because unlike TFP, they can't find an energon deposit on the island. Although, Optimus says it tastes gross, Hanji's excited to have a possible new energy source.

Erwin, Mike, and Levi do take note that TFA Optimus is...kind of young too. He's definitely seen some shit, but he's clearly someone trying to come into his own as a leader.

Eren doesn’t like TFA Optimus initially, but that’s because of his hatred of titans. I’d like to picture that one day when Hanji is running experiments and has Eren transform into his titan form, he makes the unconscious decision to attack TFA Optimus. But TFA Optimus has got this. He faces opponents bigger than him all the time. He takes a page out of what he’s observed with the Survey Corps and the 3D Gear and puts his own spin on it with his own grappling hook and axe and takes down Eren with ease. Which everyone is extremely impressed by. When Optimus cuts Eren out of the nape, he replies that he faces titans bigger than him on a regular basis.

Eren thinks that he’s so cool after that and asks for TFA Optimus to train him, which is weird for the ‘Bot because this kid tried to kill me and now wants to learn something from him. But Optimus realizes that Eren is misguided and going through a lot. He was certain he didn’t ask for any of this. Maybe he could help him out a little with this.

However, because of Optimus’ size, battles are going to be a lot tougher, and he really has to work around a lot in order to take down someone like Annie or even Reiner.

TFA Optimus is initially hesitant about the coup, but takes one look at the government, and it reminds him of Cybertron and he’s screaming “Let the Monarchy Burn!”

Instead of being seen as a father figure, he’s seen as an older brother. Zeke is jealous of that, and TFA Optimus is reminded of Sentinel’s arrogance whenever he’s around Zeke. He has beef with Zeke, as does everyone else.

He’s still worried for the Autobots, and they are panicking because he and TFA Megatron are missing, and they just found out Sari is a techno-organic. So they are reeling right now.

TFA Megatron?...he wouldn’t work with Paradis. He’ll probably lie in wait in Marley before striking. That’s what he did with Dr. Sumdac. It seems will within his character.

3, 11, 19?

3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

I sit down in front of my computer with my headphones on and my little red carnelian heart that's supposed to encourage creativity in my pocket, earnestly intending to write, then I waffle between a doc or two, deciding which one shall be blessed this day, read through it all and wish for more. It's cursed because it never works 😔

11. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

I'ma be real for a minute, I had to look up what that means. Apparently there's a movie called Kill Your Darlings starring Daniel Radcliffe where his love rival is found dead and other named characters are arrested for murder. The little blurb is unclear what Daniel Radcliffe's character has to do with this.

Anyway! In theory, yes. Can't say much about practice bc I can't remember ever reaching a point where I had to kill my darlings? I'd probably grieve if I did.

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

Y'know, funnily enough I think it started with fanfic. I remember ages ago, when Mac snowballs were still a relevant computer or at least relevant enough that we could get them in fairly decent condition secondhand, mama had us do writing exercises. Three little stories, drabbles, if you will, one was to be written using only dialogue, one using only actions/descriptions, and the last one using both.

They were mostly shit from what I remember, but it was Fairy Tail fanfic. I'd also done some about a book I read when I was younger, can't remember the name now, but it was a take on princess and the frog where the princess is magic and both her and the prince turn into frogs every time she sneezes. There was something about her turning into a dragon as well.

Then I got really into writing about half demons with their human/not demon companions probably because I was really into Inuyasha then as evidenced by the two original stories I started with that premise. The first one only got to 11k words, but the second one is double that. I've not touched them since then, but I do still read over them from time to time and think "wow, this writing is cringe. I could do better."

Then, @wayward-wren got me into Detroit: become human and introduced me to @strigiiformes, when I wrote actually decent fanfic. I'm pretty sure it's still up on @onegunfairy-blog, and then we moved onto Jacksepticeye and the egos and I wrote some ego fic for that, and it's all downhill from there :D

Dunno where I'm going, but it's going to be with my little red carnelian heart and a lot of wishing for more

Q: Hank so why don't YOU get the $500 house in detroit

A: I might, that's why i'm reading it. though you can't get them that cheap anymore.

thing is, kids, i've already been a live-in slumlord, mmkay? it was in this neighborhood in Madison that everybody always mentioned as a gas station YOU DONT STOP AT cuz that's all i could afford.

the gas station -- i always stopped at -- to hell what they say, tho once i did see some kids beating the shit out of this other kid by it, so obviously crazy things did happen there. but it's america, where doesn't beating the shit out of other people occur in this shithole country?

so yeah, i did the 'let's renovate it and make it livable' thing, i mean i didn't have that many renovations to do but there were a number, especially at the very end when things got crazy as fuck with the code violations that came with the building but all 100+ were my responsibility to fix.

yep, i was a slumlord who had 100+ code violations, even AFTER i'd been fixing up the place. it came with all those code violations. you see, they just allowed the prior landlord to violate all he wanted because he only put in obedient tenants and he had inherited all these buildings and was richer than shit.

those are the people who get to violate everything they want. you kids worship em. you call them ALPHAS, you see.

then there was all the drama.

the police ripped my tenants' place apart hunting for THE MURDER WEAPON cuz somebody was killed. do you know outside of Trump's cucks suburbia there are ACTUAL MUR DERS? so it's not such a fun fantasy to those who are, you know, not sheltered n coddled by safe and warm parental units in the NUKE YOU LUR FAMBLY.

on the other side, the rotating parlour of crazy neighbors, a pregrant woman was shoved down the stairs and had something called a MISS CARRIAGE. do you kids who don't know if abortion shud be legal or not know what a MISS CARRIAGE is? then when the snow thawed i looked out the window and 4 or 5 of the NAY BORES were slapping each other silly in our mutually shared driveway.

yes, there I was... sicily 1942... up on a ladder with a bucket of paint painting MY DUPLEX... and building MY BOOKSHELVES in MY BEDROOM... thing is MY DAD DUH didn't show his face for once the 4 years i owned that duplex, not even to chip in and buy me a bucket of paint

oh yeah,

so i've already been doing this shit. i might do it again this time in the D

i'm sure i prob told you kids this story already about the duplex

i moved to Austin to do landscaping after that Austin is seriously bourgeois and shitty asshole Texans, it's not all some pleasant hippie commune like they think they are -- oh, no no no no. no no not at all. there's a few of those people left.

About me

Hello there and welcome to ‘The Basement™‘, a safe space for all people of any kind and any interests.

My name is Levi! I am n-years old, use the pronouns They/Them and I live on the planet earth... or not... who knows- :D

I like to watch movies, anime and series’, read manga or other kinds of literature and enter most fandoms pretty easily- So if you ever see me obsess over one thing and then suddenly another, then it’s because of that. Not that I ever leave a fandom! It’s more like a symbiotic relationship as I will always present myself in every fandom I have in random intervalls and never really leave. Me hyperfocusing is just an accidental side product- : )

I will now answer the basic 20 FAQ questions to give you some more insight on how my weird brain works:

When is your birthday?

=> 14th January XXXX

What is your favorite animal?

=> Cat person through and through!! Raccoons are a close second. I've always found them cute, believe me or not- xD

What do you do for a living? Are you in school?

=> Currently working on my Degree in Computer Science.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

=> Probably somewhere where it’s neither too hot nor too cold. xD

What was your favorite school subject?

=> English, Biology or Informatics probably-

Do you have a small or big family?

=> Depends on your definition of big/small families! My family is probably kinda big though.

What genres of music do you like best?

=> I’m not really into any genre. It depends on the song. I do really tend to like music from the 70s, 80s and 90s! : )

How do you like to spend your free time?

=> Reading, writing fanfiction, watching anime/movies or anything I like on youtube. I also like to play video games such as Valorant, Phasmophobia, Detroit become human and I just started playing Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy!

What is your favorite food?

=> Another hard question- I love noodles, Katsudon, Piroshki, some thai food, korean food, italian food... I like what I like and I don’t really want to pick favorites... xD

What is your favorite movie or TV show?

=> The best movie of all time is Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - can't change my mind - with GotG 1 as a close second, followed by GotG 2. Best marvel series is Loki obviously- I also think that Captain America: The Winter Soldier is in the top 5 best Marvel movies ever released. Again I don’t like to pick favorites! I also love Kuroshitsuji, Lucifer, Boku no hero academia, shingeki no kyojin, star wars, soul eater, yuri on ice and MANY more!

What is your favorite childhood memory?

=> I once went to a star wars live music concert when I was younger to A New Hope and that was wild- Best day ever-

Do you speak more than one language?

=> I speak english and german fluently and beginners french. I know single words and sentences in spanish, japanese and Dutch

=> Planet Earth. xD

What is the skill that you would like to learn?

=> To think of smart things to say in the moment and not 5 hours later. So yes: A silver tounge.

What do you value most in a friend?

=> Loyalty. I want someone to be there for me and not talk shit about me. I want them to defend me if others do so and I want them to be able to see me at my worst and still stand by me. This is what I always try to do for others too.

What is your biggest irrational fear?

=> I don’t actually know. I have many. Probably eating worms and them living inside me without dieing. And dieing in general. And being drugged and unable to move. This got really heavy in the end xD

Well I hope you know me a bit better than before now.

Have a nice timezone and don’t forget to check out some posts, maybe you’ll find something you like! :D

The Gambled

Masterlist | Ch. 3

"Gregory Anderson, blah blah blah, born in Detroit... Ah, here we are. He wagered his wife and kids as well as their house. Damn. Seems as though you were right, boss. There really is no limit to what can be gambled." Dabi whistled in amazement; all he could do was just imagine how fast the competition could be eliminated with your quirk.

Shigaraki tapped the counter in thought. Yes, it's most certainly useful, but there's no way someone would give up that much willingly. They'd also have to get the person who helped you as well. What a mess.

Dabi thumbed the blank pages in thought. "Shouldn't we also get the person who made the book too? There's not a lot of space left and I don't think we can fit everyone." A plan was already formed for that very issue.

"We don't need the third one. We'll just have a member of a rival gang gamble the whole group. Then it's easily eliminated. The real issue is how we'll get them to join."

4:28 in the morning was when your eyes snapped open in realization. Damn, how stupid you were for not realizing this earlier. With a groan you rolled over, blindly smacking your dresser until you felt the cold screen of your phone. Three rings later, Shinsou picked up the phone. "We have a problem."

He sighed, "Yeah, we do. What's yours though? The one I found out is way worse." You sat up at that; it must've been something in relation to the information he made hidden.

"Well, the book that was taken was Fear the Holy."

Shinsou was so quiet you thought the line dropped. You checked just in case. "Yeah, alright, um... That's worse than mine actually. But multiple people tried getting access to our information. They're all well-known informants in the area."

You paused. People are hiring informants now? "Must've been the people who stole too. I can't think of anyone else who'd be that interested in us to get a detailed background and shit about us." He hummed in agreement, smacking keys on his end of the line.

It seems as though the two of you have to be more on guard than usual. Guess this is what happens when you get to comfortable after leaving the underworld. Oh, how messy your lives will soon become. Good thing the third person who helped you is unknown. Let's keep it that way.

Extra notes:

Shinsou was always in charge of making the person you gambled against offer up valuable objects, sometimes even people. He's also in charge of keeping your old lives unknown to everyone.

Fear the Holy includes the basic information of a person, including their name, date and place of birth, blood type, etc. It also informs the reader of what was offered and the background of the person.

The book does not add more pages when it becomes full. Therefore, depending on what's offered up and the background of the person, Shigaraki's plan on one person gambling the whole gang they're a part of will not work as efficiently as he thinks.

Look I finished it finally. I'm sorry for changing the upload date multiple times. I had a real slow start with this part as my original plan was to go into detail on a few people in the book but then I realized that it wouldn't be interesting so I changed it. Hope you enjoyed it though :D

Its the previous anon about the Nick video and nevnevermind! I watched the video and I realized that I can't have shit in Detroit because this wasn't it... I liked his videos slandering Sh*ne D*wson but ended up unsubscribing after this video. Sorry for wasting your time with this but you have even more excellent taste for disagreeing with/disliking him.

it's okay lol. i don't mind if you watch different stuff than i do. i also can't rly say i dislike him cuz i don't know him. i disagree w his pro military stance in the video. i'll probably keep watching his videos tbh i just think it's good to be critical of what we're consuming yknow

Dang someone already asked about Shorter, VicYu and Eiji lol XDDD for the ask: Phichit/Yuuri (can't recall their ship name at moment lmaooo), and Ash?

YESSS THANK YOU SO MUCH~!!!! Gonna split these up too bc apparently I always have too many HCs and talk too much ^ ^; So the ship first!

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

When I started shipping it if I did:

Oh gosh. I was already super interested in Phichit from promo material alone before YOI aired bc he’s freakin’ adorable and also you don’t see many Thai characters so I was really interested? And the first time we see him in the anime is this tiny lil glimpse of him going “Yuuri!!” with happiness at seeing his video and I was like oh shit they’re friends, and then they have the skype chat and I’m like OH SHIT THEY’RE FRIENDS AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES, and they he turns up in Beijing and I’m like FUCK.

I’m a HUGE sucker for long term BFF relationships, friendly social types, and smart capable people, and the fact that he was Yuuri’s friend when he’s so hard to approach…yeah i fell HARD ahAHAHAHAHAH

I actually drew my first PhichiYuu comic VERY early on in my YOI art career which helped me process why I like them so much, and it’s honestly been one of my bias ships since Cup of China aired ^ ^;

My thoughts:

SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD???? Defs one of my bias 2-people OTPs in YOI

What makes me happy about them:

A long-term mutually supportive and understanding friendship. Phichit’s Yuuri’s ONLY international skater friend prior to the canon timeline, and Yuuri’s clearly super special to Phichit too. I see Phichit as the type of person who would do anything for Yuuri and is fiercely protective of him, even if he doesn’t flaunt it, and he’ll always be protecting Yuuri from the shadows. Yuuri in turn understands all of Phichit’s hopes and dreams better than anyone, and knows how to encourage them.

I ship them SO dang much specifically BECAUSE they don’t need to be romantic at all to mean the world to each other.

What makes me sad about them:

When I think about how rough it must have been when Yuuri got depressed, and how absolutely heart broken Phichit must have been after Yuuri left Detroit to return to Hasetsu, and the very complicated mix of emotions that must have been going through at least Phichit up until he saw Yuuri in Beijing. Not gonna go into it in depth here, but I wrote a whole HC post describing how I personally headcanon pre-canon Yuuri & Phichit, and how Phichit probably also left Detroit to return to Bangkok after Yuuri left because he couldn’t stand to stay there….

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

When the importance of their bond, regardless of how you interpret it, is glossed over or brushed under that of other characters. *coughs*

Also I guess when Phichit’s portrayed as super vapid, since it clashes so much with my personal HC that he’s a freakin’ genius ^ ^;

Things I look for in fanfic:

When they very clearly care for and support each other, and when Yuuri goes to Phichit for advice, and more rare, but when Yuuri also supports Phichit in some way.

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

I mean, strongly, STRONGLY prefer each other, but Yuuri, any of the Future!Verse husbands, and Phichit…idk, maybe Seung-Gil? I wouldn’t be too interested personally ^ ^;;

My happily ever after for them:

To be self-promotional AGAIN, Future!Verse lmao. I’ve crammed a TON of my ideal PhichiYuu into that, as well as my personal ideal happily ever after for just Phichit and Yuuri as individuals too. Of course I want them to get together, but also while supporting their separate goals. For Phichit, I honestly see him as one of the characters with the strongest vision and most dreams outside of his immediate short-term professional skating career, and I just really, REALLY want to see him going to big places and not just as a skater. I could rant on about that forever but I’ll just link lil visual list thing here AHAHAHAHAH

Who is the big spoon/little spoon:

If we’re taking this literally and not just a metaphor for topping/bottoming, then absolutely switch ;D Phichit likes trying to Big Spoon but in his case it turns into Jet Packing AHAHAHAHHA and Phichit is petite and I feel would be very comfy for Yuuri to big spoon for once and he’s happy to be lil spoon ^ ^

What is their favorite non-sexual activity:

Gosh I would honestly say anything? Phichit loves traveling and touristing with Yuuri, loves taking selfies with Yuuri, loves practice, loves shopping, loves partying, loves watching movies, loves studying, loves cooking and eating with Yuuri, literally anything.

But I think what makes them both the happiest are those quiet late night private convos, where they might talk about deeply personal things, or just anything silly that happened during the day. It reminds them of college roomie days, and I love imagining them decades down the line still doing the same thing

send me a ship and I will tell you/Give me a character & I will tell you/send me 5 characters and I will rank them in order of preference

Please send me more~!
