Dating The BB League Elite Four + Kieran 💕

Tags: GN! Reader, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Teal Mask & Indigo Disk Spoilers!

A/N: After finally getting dragged into the Pokémon rabbit hole, I honestly couldn't resist in doing one of these for my babies! Scarlet/Violet is my very first Pokémon experience, so hopefully I did these characters justice ^^

Feel free to follow my main @taruchinator & leave a request for future HCs!

Crispin 🔥

He's such a dork and incredibly quirky but don't you worry, he'll definitely be the one to ask you out first, no matter how many attempts it takes. Not like you'd say no to begin with.

As a partner, he's the kind of guy who would always try to cheer you up and have you in a happy mood, because when you're happy, he's happy! Anything from compliments, to jokes, to just giving you lots of affection.

Which brings us to the fact that he's huge on PDA. And the funny thing is he doesn't even realize he's doing it—he'll lean on you when you're showing him something in your Rotom Phone, rubbing circles on your palm when you're talking about your day, placing his chin on your shoulder while talking to the other club members—this man is all over you.

During your stay at Blueberry Academy, don't you dare spend your precious money on the cafeteria, he's got you covered. He'll ask you and learn about your tastes, creating new recipes and concoctions just for you, hoping to surprise you with something better and nutritious every day!

If you had a long day of training and doing BBQs, Crispin always comes by and makes sure you had a meal. And you better not be lying to him.

“Man, you've been out all day! Did you even have lunch?”

“.... I had a granola bar.”

“HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING?”

It's safe to say that Koraidon/Miraidon adores him, and even makes you question whether it's you or your Pokémon who's dating him.

After you started going out, Crispin now makes sure to carry sandwiches with him at all times. Mostly for your oversized lizard boy, but also for you in case you need a quick snack to recharge. The legendary Pokémon is quick to thank him with licks and constant slobbering which always leaves the red-head a mess, but he tries to not let it bother him for your sake.

Whenever you guys aren't training, you'll be in your dorm rooms cooking and having laughs with your Pokémon over how clumsy they can be in the kitchen.

Overall, a sweet and supportive goofball who'll make sure you're always smiling and never have an empty stomach!

Amarys 👓

Obviously Amarys isn't the best at conveying her emotions. It doesn't mean she doesn't care, she just has a hard time figuring them out sometimes! Which is why it's incredibly strange to her when she starts having these weird sensations whenever she's around you.

She feels happier, her stomach gets all jumbled when you compliment her, and her minds always finds a way to drift back to you no matter what she's doing.

She ends up asking Carmine about it, who immediately gets all giddy and explains to her that she might have a crush. Amarys is surprised, but not against the idea. It makes sense in retrospect—cue bestie Carmine giving her pointers and ideas to try and confess to you.

Unfortunately it's all a bit too convoluted or cheesy for the Steel-Type user's liking, so she ends up doing it her own way.

One day after club activities are over, she asks if you can stay a bit longer to talk. “After much deliberation, it would seem that I have caught romantic feelings for you. I propose a casual outing so we can discuss these in further detail. Do you agree?”

It doesn't take long for you two to start going out.

Amarys shows affection through small gestures that may not seem like a lot to others, but you know they're huge steps for her. Sharing her food when you're hungry, giving you advice on how to raise your Pokémon properly, helping you study subjects you aren't that good at—the list goes on.

PDA isn't her strong suit at all. Physical affection in general isn't something she's used to, and she's forever grateful that you don't push her to do things out of her comfort zone. She tries though, and will do things like brush her hand against yours or even give you a hug whenever she's feeling bold.

To an outsider you're both an unconventional couple, but manage to make it work with trust and constant communication. Give her some time and she'll warm up to you.

Lacey 🧚‍♀️

A sweet cutie who doesn't really change her attitude towards you even after you start dating, since she's always loved having you around. The two of you also confess at the same time, which leaves you as a pair of giggling messes at the irony of it.

Is your number one cheerleader when it comes to school academics. You may not be an official Blueberry student, but that doesn't mean you should be slacking in your classes! If you don't understand the material, don't you worry, she's already prepared a slideshow presentation going over it point by point. Will also reward you with kisses if you pay attention!

Lacey isn't huge on PDA either since she thinks it's unnecessary, but when it's just the two of you, she will never let go. You have successfully replaced Granbull as her favorite pillow of choice, since whenever you two have time off and she's tired, you'll probably take a snooze under a tree in the Coastal Biome.

When you get to meet her father, she's actually a bit nervous since she's never thought of dating before finishing school, but you try and be brave and reassure her that you'll try your best to give a good impression. He thinks you're alright, but gives you the good old father talk to make sure you won't hurt his little girl.

Will find ways to dot your Legendary lizard ride with gifts and affection since she thinks he's just too darn stinking cute, but don't worry, she still thinks you're the cutest!

Since Lacey's constantly worrying about things getting done around the League Club, it's your duty as her partner to get her to relax from time to time. You'll do your best by offering to share responsibilities and reminding her that breaks are very much needed.

“Sweetie it's nighttime, you can finish in the morning. I'm tired and need cuddleeeess.”

“Just one more page and I'll be done—”

“Please Ms. Lacey! I need your cuteness to have a good night's sleep!”

“F-Fine, I'm coming! Flattering me to get what you want is just not right, ya know?”

Truly an iconic duo.

Drayton 🐉

Let's get one thing straight: this man doesn't confess—heck, he doesn't even ask you out! One day he just has his arms around you and plants a kiss on your cheek claiming that he'll follow your every command, all with a cheeky grin on his face. You're more than welcome to punch him for it and he'll still come crawling back.

Like most things in his life, Drayton takes your relationship slow and steady, not really wanting to push your boundaries (unless he wants to tease you) and having no rush to progress things. He's just a chill guy who wants to claim you before anyone else does.

Don't be mistaken though, this doesn't mean he doesn't care. You'd be surprised how much he looks out for you, almost borderline overprotective in some cases. After everything that happened with Terapagos in Area Zero, he's constantly making sure you have strong Pokémon, supplies, and good company to survive the crazy adventures you get mixed up in.

You guys' ideal date is spending time together in the dorms after school hours, kicking back and relaxing with a movie or just talking about stuff that happened during the day. He's surprisingly a very good listener.

It's from these laid back conversations that he gets ideas for random gifts to get you. Did you need a new pair of gloves cause the old ones ripped? Some are waiting in the club room. You're running low on potions? A box full of them appears on your doorstep. Want to visit your friends in Paldea but can't find the time? Turns out Drayton took over your assignments for the day so you're free to go!

You're also the only person he'll allow himself to be tutored by. Will literally not listen to anyone unless it's you. Which is why you try to make sure the material is easy for him to digest + it's not boring typical schoolwork, but something he'll actually enjoy.

“Okay! Today we're going over math! Let's have a battle in the Polar Biome so you can see how probability applies in critical hits and such.”

“Aww, my honey is catering to my needs? Aren't you the sweetest thing?”

“No kisses until we're done, Drayton.”

“Alright, aye aye boss!”

He's an idiot, but he's your idiot.

Kieran 🍎

This boy has had a crush on you ever since you first met in Kitakami, but never had the courage to say anything since he was so shy. Now however, he doesn't say anything because he feels like he doesn't have the right to.

After everything he's put you through—from accusing you of stealing Ogerpon, to fighting you in an all out battle, to straight up putting you and everyone else in danger just because he wanted a chance at getting a Legendary Pokémon—Kieran doesn't think he deserves to be your friend, let alone your partner.

Carmine is there as his wingwoman though, cheering him on and telling him how much you appreciate him and clearly return his feelings.

And so, mustering as much courage as he can, he asks if you'll trade Pokémon with him. When you agree, he brings out an Applin, which immediately leaves you blushing but also spreads a huge smile on your face. The two of you officially start dating.

Kieran does is absolute best to try and be the boyfriend you deserve, even though it's his first relationship and he has no idea what he's doing half the time. The members of the League Club are surprised at first, but ultimately support you guys all the way!

You spend time together sharing battle strategies and having your Pokémon playing to try and get along. Turns out Ogerpon and Hydrapple become fast friends by the end of a particular play date, much to your delight.

He's not good at PDA, like, at all. He's still that shy and timid kid from Kitakami underneath it all, so he struggles with initiating affection even when it's just the two of you. You're the one who has to start the hugs and kisses, leaving him like a puddle of goo under your grasp.

Nightmares still plague him occasionally, mostly revolving the journey to Area Zero and how it all could've turned out for the worst if by some chance Terapagos decided to attack someone else. Maybe even you. If you're with him when they happen, you'll hold him tight and whisper sweet nothings into his ear until he calms down, or if he calls you to make sure you're okay, you'll stay on the phone with him until he falls asleep again.

“I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...”

“It's okay Kieran. We're both okay, and that's all that matters.”

You two are the power couple that Blueberry Academy never expected, but deep down, you're just a pair of dorks who fawn over each other on a daily basis.

You should read Little Mushroom

Hey guys! As followers know, I've just finished reading this cnovel and I'm here to do a formal rec of it.

What is Little Mushroom?

It's a chinese danmei (BL) novel by the author Shisi, originally published online, now available in official English translation from Peach Flower House.

What's it about?

This is a post-apocalyptic dystopian sci-fi novel where the protagonist is a mushroom.

What??

Yeah, he's an actual mushroom. Most of the Earth is a wasteland of radiation and mutated monsters, which means things are WEIRD AS FUCK. He comes from a particularly weird and dangerous place, and somehow he achieves sentience. His spore (child? infant? egg?) is stolen by a human and he finds a dying human called An Ze so he takes this human's form and memories and becomes human-shaped and calls himself An Zhe. Then he goes seeking out more humans to find and save his spore.

Okay, and this is a romance? With a mushroom?

Yes. Though this is honestly one of the danmei I've read that is lightest on the romance. Really the star of the show is the world-building and questions about humanity and ethics.

Characters:

An Zhe: The most adorable mushroom ever. You will love him. Everyone loves him. He's just a little mushroom trying to navigate a weird human world without the humans discovering he's really a "monster."

Lu Feng: The Arbiter, a judge authorized to kill anyone on sight that he suspects of being contaminated with xenogenic (monster) genes. And he does, a lot. Seemingly cold and unfeeling, hated by many if not most of the human population because he, yanno, keeps killing people, even if it's necessary to protect what remains of humanity. He spares An Zhe, though.

Other characters: Well, most of them don't last long. It's a vicious world. There's a lot of death. There are some nice side characters towards the end, though.

Why should I read this?

Look, it's just a really great book, okay? It's a book about a fairly grim future for humanity, and the things humanity is forced to do to survive, and dystopian elements and the struggles that result. It's about big ethical questions and big existential questions about whether humanity deserves to live and what the point of struggling to survive is...whether there is any hope for humanity and whether there's any point to hope at all.

And it's all told through the POV of a mushroom. Come on!

For all that, it's not a dark novel. The first half in particular feels pretty light, mostly because of the POV, granted. It's really funny in a lot of parts, but the undertone, the background is always this fairly grim stuff. Really unique juxtaposition. The second half gets deeper and really digs into the existential questions. And yeah it made me cry towards the end.

Minor spoilers from here on

But it does have a happy ending for the main characters and the romance, and a hopeful if not entirely happy one for humanity as a whole.

The romance is fairly light on the ground in this. An Zhe is a mushroom and he doesn't really understand sex or romance or have much interest in it for most of the book, despite people constantly trying to GET him interested. Lu Feng is clearly in the background developing feelings, but An Zhe is oblivious and just worried about his mushroom concerns, yanno? Eventually there are feelings-realization and they end up together, but it's still doesn't feel like a traditional romance. I'd say it's very ace friendly even if there are hints of sexual off-screen stuff.

Other reasons to read it:

It's short for a cnovel, and it flies by. This was my main vacation reading that I took to the pool and it was perfect. And I FLEW through vol 2 in a couple of sittings.

It's got a very nice translation and you should support this lesser known novel getting an English publication from a publisher that isn't Seven Seas.

Where do I buy it?

Both physical volumes are available from Peach Flower House. Or you can get ebooks from various ebook sellers, including Amazon. (Right now Amazon also has the paperbacks, but when I was buying they didn't.)

Heya! I don’t usually wrote requests so sorry if I come off as awkward😅 I was wondering if you could write a small thing about gorino being with someone who’s insecure about their height

I’m 5’10 and sometimes I just feel down about it Yknow? I don’t feel desirable because guys prefer short girls or whatever, if this is to much you can completely ignore this. I do really enjoy your work btw<33

YAY!! I got my first ever request!!! :D

It's definitely not too much to ask, I think this is an amazing request! I had to ask some of my tall girlie friends about their experiences, because I am on the opposite end of the height-spectrum 💀 This is also a little rushed, so I'm sorry if it doesn't meet your expectations!

Also, I am so sorry I took so long to write the request! I hope you had a wonderful start to the new year!

Little message to the Readers in general; I just want everybody to know, you're absolutely gorgeous, no matter your height!!!

Giorno is ~20 and Reader and him are engaged, so it's an established relationship :3

Giorno with a tall! fem! Reader

Wc: 905, a short lil thing!

———————————————————————

This day was genuine ass. You went shopping with you friend and genuinely couldn't find a single piece of clothing that looked good or that fit right. Jeans that looked perfect on your shorter friend were way above your ankle on yourself and the long-sleeved shirts you tried, since winter is approaching, just looked so weird on you. You didn't even attempt to look for shoes, instead you told your friend you were going home because of an "emergency".

And there you were, sitting on your bed, cuddled up in a blanket and reading a book in order to distract you from the loud voice of insecurity that rang in the back of your head. Turns out the book wasn't helping, though.

It was a regular romance book, sappy as shit and a slow-burn. Usually you ate these up like crazy, but the main character was described as a short, beautiful woman. There it was again; having to lean up on your tip-toes to kiss your partner, your partner looking down at you, all those things that were considered super cutesy and desirable. You weren't that. You threw the book on the bedside table with a mad huff, throwing your blanket over your head.

Fuck, no, you're literally taller than your beautiful, angel of a fiancé. You lean down slightly when you kiss him, and you don't have to stand on your tip-toes in order to hug him. You just knew the nonnas on the streets send judging looks your way when they see you two holding hands.

Speaking of your fiancé, he entered your shared bedroom, seemingly home from whatever job he had today. You were aware Giorno most-likely already knew you didn't buy anything today; you've seen his subordinate follow you around the whole time. To be frank, you kinda signed up for constant supervision when you started dating the Don of Passione.

"Cara mia, are you alright?" Giorno spoke softly, he always does so with you. His voice held the upmost adoration for you; a tone nobody got to hear, but you. He knelt down on the floor by your bedside and lifted your blanket slightly to look at you. His beautiful, bright eyes met yours as he took your hand into his.

"Just a bad day, don't mind me, my love." You spoke and sat up. You felt Giorno's hand grasp yours just a tad tighter.

"I do mind, though. Something is bothering you, I can see that clear as day. Alessandro told me you didn't get yourself anything today either. What's the matter, amore? Please let me know so I can take some of the burden off of your heart." Giorno reached up and put his hand on your cheek oh-so gently. His touch was full of love, as usual.

You averted your gaze to your sheets. You felt stupid for thinking the way you do. You know all too well that Giorno loves you more than anything in this world, but you don't feel as desirable as other women. They would look so much better by his side, so why did he choose you?

You were silent for a little while, but then you started to feel guilty. Not telling him would make him feel as though you didn't trust him, which you did. So, you took a deep breath and told him everything. You spoke about your shopping trip; how it made you insecure about your height again and then about how your book made it worse. All in all, your head really wasn't up in the clouds and by the end, you almost had tears pricking in the corner of your eyes, which you tried masking by blinking a lot and looking at the ceiling.

Giorno noticed, of course. He stroked your cheek gently and pressed a kiss to the back of your hand before he spoke again.

"Amore, you're the most beautiful woman that has walked this earth. I do not care about your height in the slightest. I love you more than I have ever loved anything ever before. If these measly, cheap stores do not carry clothes appropriate for you, I will hire the designers personally to tailor the perfect clothing for you. If someone looks at you the wrong way, consider them dead tomorrow. There is nothing that would stop me from making sure you're comfortable and happy. You're the light of my life, the ray of sunshine in the early mornings of a beautiful summer day and I wish, I so wish you would see yourself in the way that I see you. You're perfect to me in every way, my love. Just seeing you smile makes my heart fill with so much joy, I wish to scream it out to the whole world. Sono pazzo di te, tesoro." Giorno's voice was filled with sincerity as he put a hand to your chin, gently tilting your head to face his eyes again. He then smiled and gave you a gentle peck on the lips before getting on the bed on top of you to hug you tightly.

Giorno's words made you smile as you returned his embrace, croaking out a quiet "I love you" before burying your head in the juncture between his neck and shoulder.

In a world that doesn't see your worth, Giorno worships the very ground you walk on. He vows to do so until the day he dies.

#jjba #jjba x reader #giorno x reader #jojos bizarre adventure #my first request hihihi #hope you enjoy #vento aureo #reader is sad #but it's okay! giorno is here to comfort her!

hii. so I just wanted to say that you're my favorite fucking artist out there.

you introduced me to car seat headrest wich is one of my favorite bands ever, it also made me discover a whole new world in what the indie rock scene is. I thank you so much for that cause lo-fi indie music is my strongest passion now.

your videos are also a big comfort to me, sometimes I like to watch them and just cry cause they just have this vibe that reaches deep into my heart like nothing else does.

and don't get me started in your art because HOLY SHIT DO THEY INSPIRE ME TO KEEP MAKING STUFF MYSELF.

so basically thank you so god damn much for doing what you do you're a beautiful person and I adore what you make

ahh no problem but honestly thank *you* so much!!!! its always so weird to see people say this stuff to me because im not exactly a popular person on the internet. I guess its nice to know that maybe for some people im one of those obscure things only they know about haha X- )

im glad ive been able to introduce you to new stuff :- 0 and im happy to hear that what i make is important to you. Ive always wanted to inspire people the same way my few favorite artists do and im grateful to hear that i have in fact managed to do some inspiring,,,

(and before you go a little shameful advice: consider following me on instagram too since i post my main stuff there,,)

i really really hope you have a good rest of your day/night and an even better tomorrow ! thank you for finding me

Author Ask Tag Game

My thanks to @doublegoblin for tagging me here!

This is going to mostly be in the context of The Tectomancy Saga -

(1) What is the main lesson of your story (e.g. kindness, diversity, anti-war), and why did you choose it?

I don't know if I can say there's a singular main lesson or message that the story is meant to provide. Different characters will learn different things. I want Releine to realise that she has inherent value and isn't only defined by what she can do for other people; I want Almyra to learn that even smaller goals are victories; I want Jessa to learn that you don't have to be who other people expect you to be; I want Tenacity to learn that your goals, however noble, can't come before the people you care about. And I just want Ellimane to get her shit together quite frankly. I don't know that I chose them so much as that that's where those character arcs seem to want to go. I guess they're things I've had to learn to some extent in life.

(2) What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding (like real-life cultures, animals, famous media, websites, etc.)?

I honestly find that very hard to pin down! I guess I owe a lot to certain authors in terms of the kind of things I find fun to think about and write ideas from. I guess they would be: Terry Pratchett, Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell, Garth Nix, and Tamsyn Muir. Worlds full of weird creatures, worlds that are weird shapes, worlds that have an edge you can fall off, worlds that are full of cryptic magic. I think I have at least that group of people to thank for getting my brain going. And of course, I have to pay mention to fairy tales and their long history of putting Princesses in towers and guarding them with dragons - that was the whole thing that made me think "and what if the Princess loves the dragon?" in the first place.

(3) What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, help readers grow as a person?

Mostly I think I just want others to love them as much as I do. That's a lot of the fun of reading to me, at least - get attached to someone funky and fucked-up and see where they go. Adore them for their wits and weird quirks, and the things they turn to in themselves when the situation is dire. I want readers to worry for them, post their favourite quotes on tumblr, think about them when they're cooking and cleaning! That's what I do when I love a character.

(4) How many chapters is your story going to have?

Well, MWC&C ended with 47 chapters, and BBS&B is currently on chapter 40 and will probably run longer than its predecessor. There are two more books I can think of in the main sequence, so I'd guess roughly 200+. There are a couple of prequel novels I could write, and I had an idea for a sequel trilogy, but I guess whether I invest in that depends on if I can get anyone reading the original books!

(5) Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it?

It's original content all the way. I'm hoping to get a chance to publish it (agents, please call me), but if all else fails, I guess I'll try and self-publish somehow. Marketing is not one of my great skills though, so it'll be a challenge.

(6) When and why did you start writing?

November 2021. I've talked about this before, but I lost my love of reading for a number of years, mostly because I was depressed and also trying to read the wrong kind of books for me just because I thought that they were the kinds of things that people should read. In 2021 I finally had to know who the spooky bone lesbians on my dash were and read Gideon the Ninth. Then that year I inhaled a dozen more sapphic books and remembered that as well as liking reading, I loved to write once upon a time (har har) and thought I'd give that another go.

(7) Do you have any words of engagement for fellow writers of Writeblr? What other writers of Tumblr do you follow?

What are words of engagement?! Are we courting, or is it pistols at dawn?! I guess I would say - assuming we're talking about interacting with other writers - don't be afraid to just come and chat with me about stuff. If I say something that reminds you of one of your characters, or something about your world, then please tell me, because I'll probably like that too. We can show stuff off to one another and play with our characters like dolls. If you mean words of encouragement, I'd say this: Even a little bit of writing is still writing. Don't beat yourself up if you don't have the energy to bash out thousands of words in a sitting. Do a few hundred; a paragraph; a sentence. You'll get there eventually. And don't bum yourself out waiting for inspiration - sometimes the best inspiration is just typing a horrifically bad sentence. Doing that makes me want to write the next one better.

I follow too many writers to list, but I'm going to tag some for this game (very, very gently), so - @sam-glade @indy-gray @aalinaaaaaa @comicgoblinart

#writeblr #writeblr tag games #The Tectomancy Saga #made with crown and claw #mwc&c #bbs&b #bound by stone and blood

Just found out what Disney is doing to owl house for season 3... we deserve a REAL season 3!!

Summary: Some Marketing JERK said that The Owl House doesn't "fit the Disney Brand" so season 3 will be only THREE 30-44min episodes!! That's it. The whole reason we even get the 3 episodes is because the creators fought for it. But because some Marketing TOOL thinks it's not "on brand enough" that's all we get.

This show has so much beautiful representation of the LGBTQ+ Community and about different everyday issues like social status that the audience can relate to. It doesn't deserve this kind of an ending. We can't lose this depiction of diversity.

I'm bad at wording but yeah 🏳️‍🌈

To participate farther read below!!

From the petition info:

REMEMBER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MAIL OUT! Disney listens to snail mail. Send them a letter and tell them you want to see the continuation of the series!! (Also maybe some merch while they're at it! ;) )

About the Cancellation:

The Owl House has been renewed for a shortened 3rd season. We want at least another full season length!! Dana posted on Twitter that we will be getting a short season containing just 3 special length episodes; the equivalent of 6 normal episodes. It is confirmed that this will be the last season. This was NOT Dana's choice; she had been hoping for a normal 10-20 episode pickup, and not expecting a cancellation. As The Owl House is one of Disney's most popular currently airing shows, my speculation is that this cancellation was brought on by budget constraints due to COVID-19 and the inability to run the Disney parks.

Dana tweeted that if we want to see the show continue, TOH merch, or anything else TOH related, snail mail is the way to go. Disney still reads and responds to snail mail. This is an effective way of contacting them. They don't appear to read DMs and emails, presumably due to 1) the sheer number they receive, and 2) the fact that people mailing letters are statistically over 18 and therefore able to earn and spend money (like on, say, cable subscriptions or merch).

About the Show and Why It Is Important:

The Owl House is beautifully drawn, wonderfully written, and features a diverse cast, including a Latinx main character. The story follows quirky teen Luz Noceda as she finds herself stumbling through a magic portal and into a world of witches, monsters, and magic. There, she befriends a rebellious and confident witch named Eda and her adorable King of Demons sidekick. In just a few short episodes, we see the three of them quickly fall into a caring, supportive, and positive family environment.

The Owl House embraces being different and "weird" as good, and that it is important to be true to yourself. TOH sends inspiring messages to viewers of all ages, showing them that hard work pays off, that people aren't always what they seem- both good and bad- and so much more. Imperfections are valued, and their positive sides displayed.

Not only that, but TOH should also provides LGBTQ+ representation, which is unfortunately still rare in this day and age, and is not accurate to modern society. The Owl House is one of the rare shows that don't shy away from including LGBTQ+ characters.

Seeing yourself on the screen is incredibly important, not just for self esteem, but because it shapes not only others' images of us, but our image of ourselves."[W]hether intentionally or unintentionally, both the news and the entertainment media 'teach' the public about minorities, other ethnic groups and societal groups, such as women, gays, and the elderly," Carlos Cortes, The Children Are Watching: How the Media Teach About Diversity

What message is it that we want to be putting out? Personally, I know I want to watch inclusive TV shows with positive representation of different races, sexualities, body sizes, and economic status. I want to see weirdness and imperfections celebrated, not shamed. The Owl House provides just this - so let's see it continue!

Snowflake Challenge #6 In your own space, post the results of your fandom scavenger hunt. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This one looked super fun, and I'm doing both physical stuff as well as a few digital things, bc for some of these I had more than one thing I wanted to share so. :D

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture or description of something that is or represents:

A favorite character

Sausage and Santa Perla oml <3

I can't list one without the other ofc. Sausage's lore captivated me in Empires s1, and hasn't let go yet. The lore he's running in Empires s2 is just incredible. It's made me cry far too many times, and I'm just so invested in whatever the hell he's got going on. Also I love a good excuse for religious world-building, and having Santa Perla to work with has been so fun. <3 I'm really looking forward to what Pearl decides to do with her side of the lore now that she remembers as well.

2. Something that makes you laugh

It's Mark Watson, Alex Horne, and Tim Key! This is collectively representing them as a group of friends and just doing stupid shit together, but also No More Jockeys, Mark's long shows, Key's works, and the non-Taskmaster stuff Alex does, though there's not much outside of the Horne Section these days lol, he's a busy boy.

For digital things, may I offer the following: - Longform: Big Fat Quiz 2015. It starts off fairly sensible then gets derailed by bad dong, and only gets more off-track from there. A classic. - Shortform: Carrot In A Box. Need I say more. rip Sean Lock, you bastard genius. </3 - TV series: 15 Storeys High, Sean Lock's sitcom from way back when. It was rec'd to me by a friend, and I don't regret finding a copy to download bc it's so good. <3 - TV series: This Is Jinsy, weird, full of songs, nonsense and whimsy, def worth tracking down a copy of this show. It's so good. Makes me laugh so much. <3 Greg Davies in drag is also a lovely touch lol.

3. A bookshelf

These are the Taskmaster books that still exist. I tore up an awful lot of them to make 1000 paper cranes a few years ago. XD Also have some Key and Horne and Watson. <3 The three books on the far left are my current reading material.

4. A game or hobby you enjoy

iykyk >_>

(and yes at some point I will be making a Dinnerbone nametag for that blue sheep :D)

5. Something you find comforting

Cub omg. <3 I just find his voice so soothing and comforting, and bingeing through his episodes or watching his streams is very comforting for me. I'm really enjoying all the daily speedrunning streams atm bc they're on when I'm awake during the mornings for me, so I can have breakfast and chill with Cub and it's so so nice. <3

6. A TV show or movie you hope more people will watch

Double The Fist is an old Aussie TV comedy that I maintain is actually a metanarrative about the intersections of queerness, homophobia, and toxic masculinity (ESPECIALLY in the second series) that I am woefully inadequately skilled enough to actually write on, but trust me bro, everyone in the main cast is some flavour of queer and I'm here for it. It's very good.

bonus shout out for Set The Thames On Fire, bc it's such a good movie and more of you need to see it frfr. <3 There were some really, really interesting headcanons going around linking Noel's character in this movie back to his character in The Mighty Boosh as a bonus if you like that kind of thing.

7. A piece of clothing you love

look I won't be able to wear these for like another four months but they are super comfy and I adore them so much. <3

also yeah I didn't take these out of my chest of drawers bc lazy and also I live in a dark cave of a room, the lighting is terrible everywhere. XD

8. A thing from an old fandom

The Prisoner! Dhani Harrison got me onto this bc he named his band thenewno2, I adored their music, and when I looked them up, discovered what it was named after, and then I dived right in and fell in love with it. I can't remember which specific episode order I prefer out of the five or so that exist, but yeah!

I've written crossovers with The Prisoner for my last 2/3 fandoms, so maybe I'll get there for Hermitcraft one day. :D?

9. A thing from a new fandom

ConVex my beloveds <3

If you want to know why they took over my brain, I would like to point you at this 3min edit of ConVex lore and let you take it all in. :D They're insane, I love them so much. XD

【 30 Questions of CP, OC & Fandom 】

— credits : @mukami-kuron-mrsadisticcat

1. How long have you been in this fandom?

🎀 I believe I joined the fandom since 2016, so about 6 years from now. Though, it wasn't until a year ago that I started diving deep into its lore. 🎀

2. Who's your fictional boyfriend/husband?

🎀 Assuming it's for DL, I'll have to say Kanato and Reiji. I know, it's a little weird, seeing as I've barely interacted with a Reiji DL blog but some of you may have seen my shenanigans with a Kanato DL blog ( @kanato--sakamaki ). 🎀

3. Why do you like them?

🎀 Now, these two aren't particularly my top fictional boyfriend/husband ( It's Kenma from Haikyuu HAHAHA ) so this may be a little short.

Starting off, I like Kanato mainly because he shares the same voice actor as Kenma; that being Kaji Yuki. Yes, he's a brat. Yes, he's a difficult vampire to deal with. But there's just something about him that's endearing. Maybe it's his childish personality. Maybe it's his whole boy lolita aesthetic that draws me in. Or maybe it's because it seems fun to tease with him. Yes, he's incredibly violent but I find that aspect of him to be fun. I know, Estelle is a little twisted when it comes to their fictional crushes. Though I know he may never change, I can't help but feel the need to take care of him too, you know? I want to spoil him a lot, all while poking fun at him.

As for Reiji, I have a liking for men that are prim and proper in all aspects. He may seem like a gentleman but I know deep down, he's a sadistic bastard. And I suppose, the whole evil gentleman vibes he gives off is what made me find him attractive. Besides that, I do relate to Reiji a lot in terms of his relationship with Shuu, but I can only dream to be as responsible and mature as Reiji when it comes to family. He's also not that horrible of a person. As stated on his wiki page : "Reiji is shown to become highly emotional when drunk.", "It's shown Reiji has a fear of ghosts (though doesn't openly admit to it).", and, "Reiji states he enjoys rollercoasters, finding them interesting and fun."

I find that so adorable and such a stark contrast to his usual strict personality. I'm not saying that he's good, but he isn't entirely all that bad. After all, these boys grew up from a bad environment, thus developing an unpleasant character as a result of their poor upbringing.

With all that said, I may like these two a lot but in real life? I would never consider dating either of them. 🎀

4. Have you made an acquaintance with anyone that ships themselves with the same character?

🎀 Not that I'm aware of, no. 🎀

5. How do you feel about it?

🎀 Nothing HAHAHA! I mean, if I do meet someone who likes them so much so they ship themselves with them, I don't particularly feel anything but excitement that I get to talk and/or fanboy over said character with them. 🎀

6. Do you feel any negativity towards them?

🎀 Again, no. 🎀

7. Do you like seeing their oc(s) interact with your man/woman?

🎀 Again, I don't particularly care. Although, I would jokingly act jealous and competitive but in the end, it's all good vibes. They aren't mine to own, after all. 🎀

8. Do you feel competitive against them?

🎀 Nope. Though, I act as if I am in a joking way. Just to bring humor in, you know? 🎀

9. Confident, or pessimistic?

🎀 A little bit of both. I don't really understand this one. 🎀

10. Would you like more people to get to know about your ship, or would you rather it being lowkey?

🎀 Either is good. I'd be happy if either happens. Though, deep down, I do hope that people are interested enough to know about my ships.

If any of you aren't aware. I have 6 main OCs and 3 of them have official ships : Rukas ( @ruki--mukami's Ruki × Lukas ), Irigiel ( @iricathel's Irina × Hagiel ), and Kin ( @bunny--love/Lin × Kai ).

It would be nice knowing that some people are interested in them enough to want to know about them more and hopefully follow their story. 🎀

11. Do you follow any of those people (them whom ship themselves with your fictional lover)

🎀 Refer to my answer on number 4. 🎀

12. Are you friends with them?

🎀 Refer to my answer on number 4. 🎀

13. What do you think about the 'stans' ?

🎀 Neutral. You do you, and I do I. 🎀

14. Are you worried about plagiarism or copying of your oc(s) by others?

🎀 Not really because I don't think anyone has ever done that to me. However, if that were to happen, it would piss me off and make me feel upset, but I'm willing to listen to their reason and properly talk it through. 🎀

15. How do you handle such a situation if it happens?

🎀 Refer to my answer on number 14. 🎀

16. Is your cp public or only between a particular circle of friends?

🎀 Public. Rukas gradually occured in public and so did Kin but Irigiel happened in private that I'm slowly trying to push into the public. 🎀

17. Do you lock a specific cp ship, whats the reason? (I dare you to tag them~!)

🎀 Not at all. I never really thought about it so I'm a little confused about locking certain couple pairing ships. 🎀

18. What kind of behaviors do you suppose is pretentious to you?

🎀 Yandere behavior and claiming ownership of a character or ship that isn't entirely yours. 🎀

19. What kind of comments do you dislike the most when it comes to cp feedbacks of your oc(s)?

🎀 None. I never received any. 🎀

20. Have you receive hates about your oc(s) before?

🎀 No, but I expected some sort of hatred to come by. Especially with how Lukas is, and how Kai has a brother complex. I anticipated, but none came. 🎀

21. Do you have a complete love story of your cp?

🎀 Depends. My OCs in their own canon world and story, don't really have any romantic pairing. Well, except for Zaliki and Asra where Asra harbors an unrequited love for Zaliki who claims to hate getting into a serious relationship again. However, with Lukas' situation, he was supposed to be shipped with Reiji but that side of his story has been completely scrapped as I've decided to focus on Lukas' relationship with his family, friends and himself.

Out of their own canon world, my OCs' ships ( Rukas, Irigiel, & Kin ), all have their own love story going on. Although the progress is slow and gradual, I hope to reach the point where they finally settle together as a married couple. 🎀

22. Do you allow joint of alternate universe with the canon version of your cp story?

🎀 Yes! Such as the case with @mcchild-alischer, Kai and Lin's future child. As well as Irina and Lukas being best friends despite being shipped to the same man, Ruki Mukami. Kin also occured within the Rukas universe. And I may be wrong but there are hints of @kauzebridgerton's Kauze being in the Rukas universe too, seeing as Kauze used to tease Ruki about Lukas a lot! HAHAHA! I always find that hilarious! 🎀

23. Are you okay with people shipping their oc(s) with yours?

🎀 Absolutely! Though keep in mind that I can't force my OCs to grow romantic feelings for someone they can't pair well with. Oh! and don't let their main ships stop you from shipping yours with mine! I'd be happy to talk about it too! 🎀

24. Ever gone through a bad experience in the fandom?

🎀 Not quite. None that I recall. 🎀

25. The ocs that you admire in this fandom are? (Tag them~)

🎀 These following accounts :

@kindan-no-kanojo @iricathel @retelling-of-ragnarok @fruit-of-infidelity @kauze-bridgerton @kauzebridgerton @harrybridgerton @dialovers-angelica @cursed--requiem @diabolic-harlequin @celenod @mukami-kuron-mrsadisticcat @mino-diabolik @mchallwrites

You all have such wonderful OCs that I enjoy getting to know and I hope to interact with. Keep up the good work with developing them as a character as I enjoy reading their development and seeing how well you've created them. It truly sparks motivation and inspiration within me when I see your OCs. Thank you so much for creating such lovely creations and spending so much time and hard work into their character. You deserve all the love and support! 🎀

26. What is the moment that caused you to feel most disappointed or excited?

🎀 Disappointed — Not being able to reply as fast as I used to before, and leaving so many roleplays unfinished and undone. I've been so busy that I can't even find the right time to sit down and just reply to them all yet. And for that, I deeply apologize. I'm mostly disappointed with myself.

Excited — Creating headcanons and lore for my OCs. All of which will occur as soon as I receive my laptop to work with. 🎀

27. The scariest era that you have come across in the fandom?

🎀 None that I recall. 🎀

28. The most wonderful thing you have come across in this fandom?

🎀 Meeting my everlasting group of friends and being able to call them my friends. If Jas had never inspired me to create Lukas and Kai to interact with her Ruki before, I would have never met such wonderful and talented people.

@ruki--mukami @iricathel @kindan-no-kanojo @bunny--love @dialovers-angelica @yui-komori-ask

I love you all. Thank you so much for being my friends. I hope we get to know each other more! 🎀

29. Say something towards those that support and admire your cp~

🎀 Special thanks to : @haru1237 @renamami

I remember both of you being so supportive and active on Rukas' love story a lot and I enjoy the little comments both of you would post on Jas and I's roleplays. It was always a fun thing to read and see! And thank you to @retelling-of-ragnarok as well for liking my OCs all the way from the beginning, to the point that you even drew Lukas and Ruki together. Overall, thank you so much! 🎀

30. You've worked hard, keep up the good work!

🎀 You as well! I've seen how hard you're working on in creating your OC and developing them. It's admirable and I hope to reach that level of development with mine soon. Thank you for creating this 30 questions post! 🎀

MoviesOr… Poor Things

Bizarre. That's the only thing I know for sure that I can write about Poor Things. I'm still trying to process everything that I watched and this first line seated on my drafts for ages until I finally decided that I was ready to say something about this brilliant, yet unhinged, movie. It reminds me of the weirdness of Saltburn, a concept that now I know I adore, but here it goes beyond the logical. It's a trip inside the entrails of the human existence, and its patched up substance, that we try to fix with strings and nails.

That being said, I'll start with the beginning. I've been wanting to watch this ever since it was announced because no movie with Emma Stone can be a bad movie. So, there I was heading to a theatre in London that I've been wanting to go to for ages. It looks so opponent on the outside, that you can see whitin your exit at Leicester Square station. However, one thing you need to know about theatres in London: they show 30 minutes of commercials, so you might as well always arrive late because... it sucks. Another thing that sucks: the screens aren't as big as I'm used to, so this is a quest that I'm still on: to try to find a real big screen here.

With all those considerations made, let's embark on the movie. Like I always try to do, I took my seat not knowing a thing about the movie. I let it surprise me. And man, it did. I would have never imagined I would see the things I saw. And I would have never imagined I would sit through an almost three-hour movie with Mark Ruffalo. Sorry, I just don't like his acting, but here, it wasn't that insufferable. In fact, it was good to see him being played and ruled out by Bella Baxter.

Speaking of which, what a witch Emma Stone is. Watching her was magical. As I probably have mention a few times — and I don't say that do brag, it's because my memory is terrible — being an actor myself is a curse because you can't stop noticing other actors acting, so that's one reason more as why I am speechless by Emma's performance. Her movements. Her expressions. I wish I could be a third of what she is. She's a monster. I would have never thought I would see her doing the things she did throughout this crazy journey. It was insane to watch her grow her character from a demented girl (can I say that?) to a cultured woman. The development and the change of the two counterpoints of her main character are so well made, that I can't begin to fathom how she did her preparation for this role. And here I am suffering to do Romeo.

The story of the movie, I should mention, is just as powerful as Emma's performance. An empowering movie that doesn't need to use big speeches to make a point, just like Barbie tried to do last year but failed miserably. That's why it feels so authentic and sharp. The cruelty of the world, the use of the body without shame, the power to be who you want to be without question are messages that are passed to us fluidly. Honestly, I think we all should be a bit like Bella: fearless and fierce. Being a grown woman with an innocent sense of the word is what I hoped we all would have. How large the possibilities would be if we didn't stay trapped inside our adult heart and mind that grew tired of being axed and mutilated? What if we spoke our minds and did what we want to do without shame?

With so many questions and thoughts popping up in our spheres, it's deranged to imagine we could still have time to digest the incredible scenery and designer choices, but everything is patched up so perfectly that we can. The craziness inside and out coexists without much problem. In fact, there are so many shattering aspects of this work of art that it's hard to point out what stands out the most. The scene of the poor people dying from starvation, for one, is so dauntingly haunting that it's almost a crime that it had been followed by the hilarious scene of Mark Ruffalo's character trying to kill an elderly woman on a cruise. Not to mention the whole dining and dance scene, that perfectly shows how pure innocence can be. The title cards from the cities, as well, are just another highlight of the many mesmerizing moments that we get to witness while the lights are off and our senses are on and just shows how dedicated the art team of the movie was while bringing to life this melogamic story.

If anything, the only flaw of the movie is the way they resolved the last conflict. A shoot being blasted in the foot and a poisoned drink being thrown on the face of such a dangerous man? Really? With such an intricate screenplay, these decisions seem… poor (no pun intended). Actually, the whole plot of the sadistic husband felt unnecessary, even though it was kind of necessary since it's part of the resolution of the enigma behind the mysteriously, yet enchanting, riddle Bella Baxter became to be.

Poor Things can be hard to swallow for some, or just a delicious pastel de nata for others. It can be as excitingly normal as an apple being used as a sexual instrument, or weirdly disturbing as animals with different bodies mixed together. Either way, that's the brilliance behind it and its black and white then colorful world, in its human or fish perspectives; it's its own world, in all its glory just waiting to be found, if you have the heart, or brains, to do so.

baldur's gate 3.

100+ hours later, and i survived baldur's gate 3. it partly took me so goddamn long to finish because i got to the end of act 2 on my first character...only to find out it wasn't just me and that minthara is likely bugged (or has an insane amount of cut content, but i'm on hopium here). so i decided to restart on a second character as the dark urge to complete the story on whilst i await a minthara fix.

so, yeah. that was a choice i made! 🫠

to preface, however, while bg3 isn't a game i'm keeling over in sheer love for or a new favorite for me, i had a fucking blast playing it. any flaws or personal issues with the game aside, it is genuinely a ton of fun and full of shit to do.

long, scattered thoughts below the cut.

"huh, i wonder why there's so much grumpiness about the ending." ohhhh. i get you all now. the lack of ending cards or epilogues or any kind really stings when it's such a standard for wrpgs of this type. the main plot lost momentum for me early on when the urgency and desperation surrounding the tadpole infection slowed down, so i was vibing well enough with the ending until the lack of any epilogue hit. that is a weird oversight for a game like this and a sequel to games like bg1-2 and spiritually following games like dao.

biggest plot complaint with the ending: i choose to free orpheus because it's what my girl lae'zel wanted, so move aside, squid. in response, the emperor...skedaddled to join the fucking netherbrain????? what. i don't remotely understand this. did i miss some stuff about the emperor's motivations...? regardless, this was a bit of whiplash for me before i popped orpheus out then left him with no choice but to...abruptly turn into a mind flayer because...sorry, but my beautiful boy's skin isn't going to be sacrificed...nor karlach's despite her offer...and gale shut up about the damn nuke.

on villain side, i was disappointed with how little we saw the chosen. ketheric is introduced for a single scene earlier in act 2, but we only see orin and gortash by the end of it and then they aren't as present in act 3 as i would have hoped. ketheric is...fine (imo, i found his voice delivery kind of flat), and i appreciate the hammy glory that is aylin, so thanks for bringing isobel back, i guess. orin's design slaps, and her va's performance makes what could have been a too-much script really work. she's a bit more interesting if you're playing dark urge and have that backstory connection with her. gortash...i got a little caught up in shipping him with my dark urge half-elf boy in that coronation scene because of what good old murder pals the two used to be! but gortash gets killed by the netherbrain just because even if you side with him, so eh. better to let karlach have her revenge on his shady ass.

on my first character, i was initially set on romancing shadowheart until i learned about minthara and then was wildly divided between them. then i met minthara in person and next thing i knew, i had slaughtered refugees and druids and was married. 😌❤️ it really broke my heart a little to learn that she is (HAS TO BE) bugged when i turned my entire playthrough on its side to nab her. no regrets because she is easily one of my favorite characters, but a bummer. the crazy hot cultist lady exterior drew me in, but it was her intriguing character on the interior that got me to stay.

if it weren't for the whole "violently slaughtering the grove" thing being necessary to get minthara (unless you go out of your way to not do things or glitch it afaik), she'd be my default pick over halsin all the time, every time. halsin is deeply boring to me. he talks about nature...and then some more about nature...and more about nature. jaheira is more involved in the main plot than him, so an odd choice to cram a second druid in when he's much duller than minthara or jaheira.

jaheira, jaheira, jaheira! oooh, i adore jaheira! i'm familiar with bg1-2, so i knew the basic deets in jaheira. i really hope larian wrote her as a natural extension to her classic self because while i planned to play bg1-2 eventually, the urge is now truly powerful because jaheeeeeeeiiiiiira, my beloved. cool hot older woman who is just so good. that she partly has some batman in her with her four adopted kids is adorable... her house is so cute... that she has a keepsake from khalid, too... i want jaheira to be happy. 😭

UNLIKE ASTARION. look. i was pleasantly neutral with his ass until after visiting jaheira's home, he thought he could make a catty remark about jaheira being a horrible mother. i'm happy his final appearance in the good end of the game is him sprinting away as he burns and screams in the sun and gale weirdly comments that this will probs be the last time they all see him. fucking bizarre writing choice, but a victory for me. don't be mean to jaheira!! (in all seriousness, astarion is a perfectly fine character with solid writing. he isn't the type i tend to latch onto, and i was salty when he made such a bitchy comment about jaheira.)

gale gave me my favorite line in the game. if you're slutting it up, mr. wizard can hit you with one of those ultimatum conversations. if you pick to simple leave without a word, he says you are being a very cone of cold. i keep subjecting xofi to references to this. it's my favorite line. gloriously dweeby, and gloriously wizard-y. oh, gale. i can tell you don't have friends that aren't your magical flying cat, a very old man, and uh...your divine ex, i guess. he's like you transplanted a bard's personality into a wizard. he was fun to have around!

lae'zel...my abrasive darling. you know what, i'm glad she's inspiring "discourse" (aka "women wasn't 100% nice to me :(((") because it exposes the weaklings. if lae'zel is too mean for you, then thank you for letting us know. we must cull you so that we won't waste resources on you. the winter is harsh, and only those warmed by good taste will be able to endure. i'm happy for where my ending had her: orpheus went mind flayer and then i politely knifed him when he asked, so lae'zel was asked to carry on his torch in inciting her people against vlaakith's tyranny.

shadowheart is my meow meow. the eight-or-so hours of early access that i played two years ago had her as my favorite by the end and that was carried over into the full release. she and minthara are the favorites. my only real quibble with shadowheart's arc is that binary dnd god morality does not spark joy for me. worship of shar being so bluntly evil took me out of a bit. nice to see viconia, though!

i...honestly forgot wyll until a second ago. there's an interesting conceit to him, but he's woefully dull. he and halsin are just boring. i feel kind of bad that i'm so bored by wyll. there's a missing bite from him that i vaguely recall from early access. i get that the devs wanted a companion that is, like, good, but oh, wyll, buddy...idk what the hell they did to your writing.

minsc isn't a terribly deep character, but he's enjoyable when i view him as a charming addition to jaheira. i'm going to try and get him earlier in future playthroughs because i nabbed him terribly close to the end on this one. orz

karlach...i think here arc was my favorite of all the cast. in act 3, i had swapped lae'zel out for her for a bit and lae'zel ended up kidnapped by orin, so my defaulat party just ended up shifting to gale, shadowheart, and karlach. i'm pretty happy it ended up this way. i ran into some interesting conversations for her, and her reactions to things like my dark urge signing raphael's contract surprised me in their passion. she's effective at keeping up her cheer until the latter end of act 3 when the unfairness and shittiness of her situation come to head in some gorgeously acted scenes. her fury and despair at the tragedy someone else thrust her into is really fucking good. i'm not even mad about her ending. it can feel odd in the greater context of bg3, but for my tastes, i was fucking there for her having to pick between dying or return to live in a place she loathes.

this is a "era has personal preferences that don't align with the game's goals" thing, but i kind of wish the dark urge was the protagonist. i like even customizable mcs to have a bit of an arc built in despite that impacting the scope of roleplaying lmao. the dark urge stuff had me wishing there was more than what is present, though. i wanted it to be dug into deeper, but i did still like what is there. the temple of bhaal was really fucking good, and i love that the dark urge turns out to be the architect of the absolutist cult.

fanfiction i adore oh so much its basically what i just do with all of my free time nowadays. i luv to read things so much, just all of the food is so good! authors that i read from i luv all your work so much!

i rp sometimes with a close group of friends on discord, we found each other from being fans of Kirby and decided to make an rp group with making a bunch of Kirby AU’s along with some other AU’s from different series than Kirby. ( i have a Kirby AU ‘ve been working on very much a WIP tho :c )

i have to have background music when ‘m doing things, otherwise things are too quiet and it bothers me so ‘ve been doing a thing where i update what i am currently listening to cause why not lol? down below is what ‘m listening to rn. ~~~ Hyper Fixations- i hyper fixate on a lot of things, Kirby and Chao being my main two. i will talk about them for hours if you let me i am not even kidding lol.

Hi!!! Can I request headcanons for a dally with a girly girl who is smart and does debate club?

dally and a feminine, smart and debate club s/o?! i love this one sm! sorry it took me a million years to post. i hope you enjoy these! (': <3 - mae

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Dally Dating a Feminine, Smart and Debate Club S/o:

° dally genuinely picks on you sm, but all in good fun, ofc! like ya'll will be at school and he's the asshat to tug on your ponytail or jab the eraser of his pencil in between your shoulder blades.

° he loves that fiery look in your eyes when you whip around to shoot him daggers. there's always a witty insult on the tip of your tongue, but then you register who it is and dally can't help but have this shit eating smirk on his face. he finds it adorable you've been stunned for a moment.

° "what's up, buttercup? cat got your tongue?" he thinks he's so slick lmaoo he's not.

° "no, just your stupidity."

° "so we're using our big girl words today?"

° you almost became the human torch with how mad you were at him.

° he lowkey bullies you a bit, but it's affectionate ✨! if someone else even tries to tease you, he's either cussing them out or going out swinging!

° he tried "helping" you prepare for a debate and it went south real fast.

° "what do you mean i gotta go at a different angle? this debate is dumb!"

° "it's only dumb bc you don't debate- you argue like a brat!"

° "what'd you just call me? you chicken shit!"

° or it went something like: "whaddya mean he said that to you? who is this guy anyway? he sounds like a punk! is he sayin' you're stupid? i'll kick his ass!"

° like dally gets HEATED!

° "just knock his lights out. otherwise i'll key his car-"

° "it's debate club, not fight club, dally!"

° "who said anythin' about fightin'? i said i'd key his car! those are two very different things."

° "dal no-"

° "it's okay, i don't mind doin' your dirty work, babe. just don't be a snitch."

° lol your petname is now snitch even tho you're not a snitch ghfdbsdhfds.

° he's lowkey (highkey) proud whenever you win a debate and takes you out to a Diner for burgers and all bc dally got hungry waiting outside the gym for your debate to be over.

° don't try running your debate past him bc dally get's real bored, real fast. he'll fall asleep or annoy you until you give him attention lol.

° he also encourages you to get on top of the table and drop kick your opponent dsnhgfjdgbndfsjfas.

° "everyone would be able to see my underwear! so no!" you snapped in horror, totally embarrassed.

° "hey, if that's the price for some entertainment in Nerdville then bring it on!" dally grinned, sitting on the edge of your bed.

° "if anyone saw my underwear you'd give them a black eye." you smarted back to him rather sassily.

° "exactly! you get a little action, i get a little action- next thing you know we'll be tag teamin' at a wrestlin' event. whaddya say?"

° "you're literally a freak, dal."

° everyone looks at y'all weird bc you're sort of the physical opposite of each other, but that's okay. dally likes to glare at people while you just laugh at him.

° you guys just act normally ig lol. being opposites brings you guys together: dally does teach you to let loose a little more and have fun. he's the main reason why you got grounded for six months oops.

° he's just dally at the end of the day and he's pretty grateful you've got some thick skin and a sense of humour, because he wouldn't actually know what to do if he made you cry.

° lol you did pretend to cry once and he sorta panicked a bit. he was not happy when he started apologizing and you started pointing and laughing at him.

° you got whipped in the face with your pillow and called a little shit. you were still laughing when he moved the pillow and pressed kisses against your lips. he was giggling the whole time. awwwww!

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

please like, reblog and follow for more!

requests: closed!

How do I get good grades?

[ID: A banner that reads "Study tips" in all caps in pale green color, with pale yellow background and a geometric pattern in pale green in the corners. End ID].

If there's something I've learned from getting straight A's at school and university is that it's less about what you know and more about what your habits and skills are.

Look, I have this classmate who is always reading advanced books, listening to podcasts, and watching conferences. She knows A LOT. But this adorable person doesn't do homework, when she does, it's late or poorly done. Her comments in class are lacking coherence and her essays are badly referenced. All of this just lower her grades.

So what can she do? How do I get good grades?

[Disclaimer: these tips are based on my own experiences and observations as I study a social science and some of the things that worked for my in high school, I've also helped my classmate but these tips might not apply to you].

1. Strengthen your language four basic skills.

If you study languages you know we have to practice four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Well, it's not very different for your native language. After all, is with language that we're able to communicate, share ideas and knowledge. You know... like, everything we learn at school (and more).

a. Reading: If you don't know a word, underline it, search the meaning and write it at the margin of the text, on a post it, or in your notebook. Underline main ideas and take notes or write a summary. This will help you not only for better understanding or studying, but also to participate during class. If you need to, read out loud and/or try to explain each paragraph. This is helpful for very complex text. Doing a diagram works too!

b. Writing: Learning how to express our ideas in the written form is... weird. I seriously don't understand why on earth we can't write just like we speak. Why do we must write differently? Is it such a crime? (I mean, I know why, I just find it so interesting and funny). Anyway, must teachers' corrections are like "uSe sYnOnYmS", "bReAk YoUr PaRaGrApHs", "cOnNeCt YoUr IdEaS", "aRgUmEnT mOrE", "UsE aPa CiTaTiOn". So, yeah, follow those comments... I'll try to make a post on how to improve your writing.

c. Listening: Pay. Attention. To. Your. Teacher. I know it's hard, I know some people have a lot of difficulties because of ADHD or other learning disabilities. I can't speak for that, but what works for me is to doodle or embroider, sometimes being on Pinterest works too. Just doing something that requires low cognitive effort while I listen to the teacher keeps me on the class without getting lost in my mind. Even if you didn't do the reading, if you listen to your teacher (and classmates) you'll be able to participate.

d. Speaking. I think many people can imagine how frustrating it is to watch a presentation by your classmates and that they just... don't know how to present?? (it's even more frustrating when you know this people want to become teachers). Practice in the mirror, practice with your pet, practice in the shower, practice everyday. Remember the "explain each paragraph from the reading"? Yeah. When you can explain something it means you understand it. So try to explain everything you learn, everything you understand. Even just chatting with your friends, family, about it. This will also help you to participate in class. The other day a friend of mine just randomly shared her screen and started explaining the bacteria that causes tuberculosis to me... I don't know anything about medicine but I still learned a lot because she knows how to lower her knowledge. Practice. Practice 40hrs a day.

2. Organization.

a. Have a schedule. Set alarms for everything if you must. Look, I forget to eat, literally. I focus so much on what I'm doing that I tell my stomach to stop being annoying and he just... listens to me?? He's like "oh, okay, finish what you're doing and when you're done just tell me and we can go to grab some food". So, I set an alarm to eat, to shower, to have dinner, etc.

b. Color code!! Color coding is my best friend since I was in preschool. Assign a color to each subject. My notebooks or folders are classified by color. My schedule has the corresponding colors. My Trello has tags by color. My folders on the cloud and on my computer have colors. This way I don't mess up things.

c. Agenda. Write all of your assignments (with color code if you can) and everything on an agenda, to-do list, calendar, etc. Whatever works for you, but be conscious of all of your assignments. There was a point when I was in high school that I no longer used the agenda. I would write the homework and never look at it again, I just memorized (by accident) all of my assignments. I seriously don't get how no one noticed I had a big problem called anxiety. Before the modern plague I used a regular week by week agenda and it's what best works for me. I switched to a day by day agenda for a while... A nightmare. Fortnight by fortnight... Anxiety trigger. Now I use Trello since I have to do almost everything on digital.

d. Digital files. You must have well organized digital files on the cloud. I use my color code and my folders go like "university -> semester -> subject". I add a folder for each unit when I have many files. So inside "subject" or inside each "unit" folder I have "readings" and "homework". File names go like "1. Author - Title" for readings and "1. Type of homework (aka essay, diagram, synthesis, etc.) - Author/Title".

3. Discipline

If you don't do what you must when you must... It doesn't work, no matter how organized you are or how smart you are. As I said, my classmate learns a lot outside of school but she doesn't do her homework. I read just the absolute necessary (which I know is not ideal) but I have straight A's. To build habits is complicated, it will be hard but not impossible. Doing a bit is better than nothing. But keep doing stuff.

I have this friend who's very smart but procrastinates a lot, and she still gets straight A's. How? She does things when she needs to. Even 4 hours before the due date but she gets things done because she knows don't completing an assignment will lower her grades.

4. I don't want to do this specific assignment

When I don't find the energy or just want to avoid to do a specific assignment or advance on my projects, I... you're gonna call me nerd and you'll be on the right... I do other homework. Specially on finals. I just don't want to do a certain project and I go "well, what else do I have to do... Okay, this seems easy". And there you got me three days before the important due date with all of my homework for the day after done and the important thing just laying there... BUT, it does help!

That's it for now, I hope they help!

my secret is that i have spent every single day of the last ten years absolutely obsessed with Hawkeye from the Marvel media empire. at no point in time was this character not hugely important to me and never have I met an iteration of this character that I did not immediately and fully adore

30-second bit role in another character's solo movie? favorite part. underutilized protag in the flashy big team movie? literally my main takeaway from that entire movie. goofy competent doofus in the team comics and cartoons? this guy's working harder than EVERYONE else combined how could i not admire him. exhausted loser struggling to keep his life from falling apart? this is the most relatable a superhero has ever been. gutsy teen refusing to be put on the back burner and leave the 'saving' to the wishy-washy adults? this girls working harder than everyone else combined how could I not admire her!!!

i had a hawkeye sideblog where i just reblogged hawkeye stuff every single day for a few years there because i was obsessed and i didn't want to overwhelm my followers (also i still have it, it's still there I just never use it)

then it got more popular to hate how hawkeye was portrayed in the movies so i just... quietly didnt say anything. then the movies themselves kinda fell out of fashion and i kinda put everything on the back burner. then the tv show was announced like years ago and everyone was like 'ugh, really? why?' and inside my heart was doing somersaults, colorful flappy-hand starbursts of joy

i fully expect people to hate the character (esp. the male Hawkeye, just because he has more history) and this show, and actually the first two episodes were pretty decent if not amazing which makes me hopeful. I do not expect to convince anyone to love a character they have no interest in loving, especially because I recognize this is probably just a Special Interest character of mine. i basically will not be going into the show tag or looking for peoples reactions after episodes because I don't want to have to deal with negativity and yes, this is an open invitation to send me gifsets or cool fanart you find. relatedly, i will not be reblogging a ton of stuff because i desire to keep up a cool and unaffected facade. i'm playing it cool. i haven't been counting down the days to this premiere all year or anything

(quick FAQs: "do you not think MCU hawkeye is the worst iteration of hawkeye?" no I love him "isn't it crappy that they took so long to make him HOH though?" yes this should have been done ten years ago and its a sign of the ableism in the industry "wasn't the surprise family bit a really bad character change?" no, Laura Barton is higher up on my list of favorite MCU characters than most of the other avengers "but the family-man shtick totally ruins his 'struggling to hold it together' characterization!!" I think if you see a man dying in the gutter and say 'this is the ideal depiction of this man' then that sucks, also there are multiple ways for a person to be falling apart "hawkeye should have died instead of black widow, and using her for his manpain sucks" yes!! actually yeah! it's weird to be like 'my favorite character should have died in this iteration instead of this other character' but its true!! the MCU has some crappy dickface writers. still love this character tho.)

#also yes i do still own literal years-old food wrappers just because they have hawkeye on them #they're in a box in storage along with all of my hawkeye toys and trinkets #i fully expect to be adding to that soon - if there isn't already an MCU-branded kate bishop toy i will riot #i feel like i sound like im moralizing too much in this rant i literally just havent said a word to any person in years #about how freaking obsessed i am with this character #lotsa new friends and followers dont know and thats weird to think about #this is me trying to be restrained #this is just to say: i am obsessed #it shouldnt come up much dont worry #hawkeye series
