Can do some headcanons with Megumi, nanami, toge with a s/o who are into fashion designing?? Thank you!!
Fashion❧
Tumblr media
Heyyy sorry this took a few days! I got a little busy and didn’t expect it so for that I apologize! And thanks so much for the ask!
Warnings: none!
Included: Fushiguro Megumi, Inunaki Toge, Nanami Kento
F. Megumi:
Tumblr media
Something like fashion or outward appearance isn’t something that is necessarily relevant to him
That is, until he met you
Not only has he become more keen on the subject, but he’s been more self conscious too
‘Is the fabric I’m currently wearing clash with my—wait why am I thinking about this??’
He finds the humor in it a bit after but at first he completely denies thoughts like that
If you have a sketchbook, he loves to see it
Especially when there’s small cutouts of different clothes and patterns
He runs the pads of his fingers against them, enjoying the different textures
He’s also a very nice listener, if you ramble on while the rapid beats from your sewing machine are present, he makes sure to pay attention
He’s found comfort with the mechanical sound
Will be your model if you ask really nicely
But if you make clothing specifically for him and his measurements, he’s wearing that stuff around the city the next day
And you know all of his wants when it comes to clothing
so if it’s comfortable to wear, he will wear it until he literally can’t anymore
I.Toge:
Tumblr media
Unlike Megumi, he embraces this interest very enthusiastically
He actually volunteers to be your model before you can even ask 🙏🏻
He doesn’t care if it’s something that looks ridiculous or wasn’t made for him, he’s gonna turn his dorm room into a vogue fashion show just you watch
He also views YouTube videos about the topics he’ll hear you talk about
Just so that he seems more knowledgeable even though he never knows what you’re really talking about
“Toge? What are you watching?” You asked him one day
“Tuna.” He says matter-of-factly as he points to the video he’s watching.
It’s: How to be a Fashion Designer 101 | Everything You Need to Know !
The dedication is 100% there
N.Kento:
Tumblr media
Just like he has his ‘side’ job
You have yours
That’s how he viewed this interest at first, just as a small hobby
He wouldn’t say he cares for fashion or anything, but he does put thought into his appearance
That much is for certain
So when he notices how much design and fashion is to you, he finds it all the more admirable
He loves you, so if this brings you joy he will try and educate himself on the matter
Well, unless you do that part for him
He often comes home around the same time every night, but depending on the curse he was ridding the world of,
His clothes are very often scrapped
So having someone who could mend things easily and swiftly would be very much appreciated!
He also loves to watch you work
No matter the kind of work, of course
Working at the sewing machine, quickly scribbling down ideas you have, fabric shopping with you
It’s all quite heartwarming to him
Needless to say, he gets used to it very fast
And he enjoys it a lot
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading!

AITA for cutting off a friend over an inappropriately timed confession?
tl;dr at end. it’s been a while since this went down, but i’m still feeling uncertain about it all. 
i (18m) hosted a birthday party a few months ago. the guest list was small since the activity i chose was pricey. among the guests was a guy we’ll call carson(17m, same grade). i honestly was already drifting away from him before this incident, and sort of regretted inviting him, but i’d already told him about it and had just known him for so long, it felt mean not to. the day’s plan was to grab lunch at my favorite restaurant, drive everyone to the activity, do that, drive everyone back to my house for cake, and then send everyone home. at lunch, people handed me gifts. carson hands me the actual gift and a card with a printed sheet of paper tucked inside. the card’s paragraph text was normal enough, but then i open the paper inside, and it’s a goddamn love poem. like, “i’m scared of how you’ll react if i give you a valentine” levels here. i am not into poetry even a little. i’m obviously uncomfortable because i barely like him as a friend, but i thank him and move on. 
for some background, carson and i dated in name only for about five or six days during the pandemic. we didn’t actually do anything, i think i was just bored and lonely. i am attracted to men, just not him. i am also autistic, and he’s suspected to be. he also has a pretty shit home life(he’s recently pivoted to “actually my home life is great!” but none of us really buy that. i won’t go into it though, it’s not really relevant nor my business), and that might affect how he views relationships, since his parents had a pretty nasty divorce when he was young.
after cake, everyone left except carson. he then says something like “do you remember when we dated sophmore year?” he gives this stuttering, rambling buildup that ends in him asking if i’d like to go out with him. i tell him no, and he apologizes for if he made me uncomfortable. i lie and tell him he didn’t. i was actually extremely uncomfortable because as the host i couldn’t leave! i really felt cornered. after more awkwardness i ask when his ride will get here, and he says his mom is already here, he just “needed to get it off his chest.” 
a little more context, i had some pretty shit birthday parties in the past, and only started having them again last year after being tired of them going badly.  they’re still an incredibly sensitive time for me. i’ve told him this, although he claimed to not remember(i’m not sure whether him lying or forgetting would piss me off more.)
two months or so go by, and he still hasn’t apologized. i realize that i’m not going to get over this like i hoped i would, so i confront him, asking him why he would do that. he basically tells me that he didn’t think about it, and is sorry i got upset. 
here’s where i might be the asshole. i was giving him the cold shoulder before, but after his apology, i completely cut him off. i refuse to even acknowledge his presence when he’s around with my other friends. i know he apologized, but i’m just still so mad at him, and it felt like such a non-apology that he only gave because i asked him to. my friends who have other personal grievances against him think i’m in the right to cut him off, but my family says i’m being too hard on him, and that he was just trying to shoot his shot and mistimed it. i’m definitely not going to make up with him because even thinking about him pisses me off. but i feel like such a dick for doing this, and i’m still thinking about it months later. am i the asshole here?
tl;dr, friend asks me out at my birthday party when birthdays are a sensitive subject for me, i cut him off after thinking his apology isn’t good enough
What are these acronyms?

I have some questions about your beings made of stardust au, which arent too relevant but theyve been bouncing around my head since i woke up. What are the beauty standards on their planet/for their species? What type of clothing is considered flashy, suggestive and modest? And for their species's standards, are humans considered attractive creatures or extremely ugly?
Little warning because there's slight nsfw??? Chatting about attraction/intimacy!
Beings aren't necessarily judged by what they're wearing, but by the context/what they're doing in those clothes? Some days of the year are dedicated to very emotional things? So they wear very basic clothing as respect. Traditional clothing, like the mesh sleeves, are usually only worn during celebrations or special/personal events!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for standards, there are none! There are too many looks for their species to have a standard! Most beings are pretty tall to humans but one wouldn't be judged/looked down on just because they're shorter than most. When it comes to attraction, it's more personality based then looks based BUT admiring one for their looks is very common! There's just not one specific look that most tend to find attractive. Everyone has their own idea of what's appealing to them. Looks really don't matter to them though. It doesn't influence how one might treat another. They aren't a very sexual species but they are intimate! (I am going to ramble, sorry) relationships usually consist of 3+ partners! There are still couples who only like it keep it a 2 being party, but poly relationships are a bit more common. The majority aren't necessarily interested in sexual intimacy but there are some who are! It's personal and most keep it between themselves and their partner(s)! Idk, their species is just very sentimental xbsnsjjshsj

Hey y'all! Loved the new episode, and wanted to chip in on one of the later points - videogames, especially in relation to the "Grey" Jedi concept. Knights of the Old Republic II really did some irreversible damage in that regard, as much as I love the game (though I prefer the first one). Kreia is one of the most central characters in regard to shifting morality debates in Star Wars (in universe and from fans alike) imo, and I'd honestly be super interested in hearing you three cover either or both of the games in the podcast, although I understand that's highly unlikely since none of you have played them. But she is extremely relevant to this topic because she preaches about neutrality and that there's more than just ~dogmatic thinkings of light and dark~, and your relationship with her suffers if you are kind and altruistic and get too rooted in the light side and she's like...one of *the* characters that kind of gets credited with developing a "grey" philosophy in-universe? But people always bring her up as if she's this great point of sensible consideration and not actually, as it turns out, a master manipulator trying to purge the Force from the galaxy (or something like that at least? It's been a while since my last playthrough lol) that lies to you all the time to get you to do what she wants (because she was so crazy bananas both the Jedi and the Sith said "no thank u :)" - well, with a bit more nuance but you get the gist). Really, it's a bit like people falling for Palpatine's anti-Jedi points all over how they talk about her philosophic arguments without bringing that up. But yeah, I thought you might be interested in that. Also, I think KotOR might be what people meant with being able to unlock Dark Side powers as a Light sider but you are absolutely correct that it's a mechanics vs story issue (especially since some powers are indeed alignment-locked AND making dark side choices does impact the character (apart from story, ending and relationships to your party members). It's a bit of a simplistic gimmick, of course, but the further you get into the Dark Side on the alignment, the more it's visible - sickly skin colour, cracks in the skin and flesh, your eyes change...stuff like that. I don't think using Dark Side powers actually pushes you further down the alignment, but the intent is obviously not for Light Siders to mix and match however they like).
Anyway, I'm so sorry for rambling on for so long, but I thought you (or someone, at least :D ) might appreciate that additional info. Keep up the good podcasting! :)
OUR FIRST ASK! I'm so glad you're enjoying the podcast, thank-you so much for listening to us ramble on for an hour once a month!
This is all really interesting! I've read a few metas about the Star Wars video games and the characters within them which is partly why I chose to briefly include them in the episode (and also because I am familiar with Jedi: Survivor which has its own "dark side" mechanic for the main character that was relevant to the discussion). Aside from Jedi: Survivor, I wasn't necessarily referencing any one specific video game, I assume it's probably a thing that's come up more than once.
As far as my reaction to Kreia goes, just based on your description of her, the idea of there being "too much light" just isn't how Lucas's own worldbuilding worked. It's clearly trying to hit on the idea of "balance" being equal amounts of light and dark usage, as opposed to balance being acknowledging darkness EXISTS (in yourself and in the universe) in order to keep yourself from acting on it. There just isn't a way to be "too light" or something like that, there's never "too much" kindness and compassion and selflessness in the world. In this sense, the video games are just going to fall into the same category as the rest of legends and EU stuff, in that they often just do their own thing based on their own interpretations of Star Wars, but it doesn't mean it actually fits with what Lucas himself was trying to get across about the philosophy of the Force and the Jedi in his own stories, and that's primarily what we're using as a base to discuss Star Wars from.
If any of us ends up playing KOTOR, we can certainly try to bring it up more often. I don't think we have any plans of doing more video game stuff currently, but if the KOTOR remake ever comes to pass, maybe I will!

(SINDEC RELATED.)
I am so sorry but the lack of appreciation for the majority of the really cool characters is really sad.
Not saying that,,, Roland and Gaius aren't cool... or that Zaph ain't cool...
But a chunk of pretty neat characters are left out of,, the sparse amount of content out here. Now, if there's been some sort of reason over this, I am unaware of it, so please, do educate me.
(genuinely, I would like to know incase these characters were made by someone problematic or something.)
For example, let's take the two elsen siblings for example (aka, Magdalene and Vanni).
I understand the lack of Mags content to some extent, being she's only relevant in one district (being the Prison district), but VANNI?
This mf follows you AROUND, and whilst his intentions aren't clear, you see quite a chunk of him, especially during like 3/4ths of the districts. This guy has it OUT for The Batter (Or 'Slick' as Mags calls him). The coverage over his character in the fandom? NONE.
His rapid development, particularly following the riot in the Prison, is quite noticeable, and this dude (along with his sister) have sooo much angst/ angst art potential, but I'm seeing flat out nothing of it,,,
Moving on to Magdalene, now,,,
Tell me she's irrelevant all you want, but she's actually quite,,, you know, likable. Without her, The Batter wouldn't have progressed as quickly. It's pretty clear that she's genuinely a decent person, and wants good, even *if* she is a little bit standoffish and loud in the beginning. And even if she is a little bit dim about the whole Rioting idea, and it almost/does get her killed (depending on what you chose to do, you can choose to save her first), she's usually got harmless intentions.
Plus,,, her being an ex leader of the Rebellion but 'something happening' between them all? And her knowledge of what Roland was up to? C'mon, something DEFINITELY happened there.
Anyway, long rant over, uhmm,,, get what you want from my angered ramblings
have a nice night

Been getting back into Star Trek after binge-watching it with my dad as a kid, and stumbled across the - ahem - "encounter" between Data and the Borg queen in Star Trek: First Contact. (I really didn't remember those scenes like this lmao.)
Soo, being a Data fan who does find him very aesthetically pleasing, I went to look for shippy fanfics involving those characters, and I gotta say, I was really surprised to find a total of 3 fanfics on AO3 that have their tag, and also just a few on FFnet, and none on a fanfic site in my language (then again searching stuff there is a fucking nightmare because people really aren't too great at tagging stuff accurately).
I hope this doesn't come across as whiny and complain-y, I will probably write about them at some point, once I'm past starting a new semester at university and have more time.
Basically just came here to say that I am quite surprised that there are such few fanfics about them (or that I'm just too stupid to find more, which is very likely lol), since they're technically temporarily canon, and I wonder if it's just because of the context and its kinda sorta dubious consent or if it just happens to not be on that many people's minds and there not being too many people who like the ship enough to write about it. (I am guessing the latter, since I also don't write about stuff that I don't think about heh.)
(Then again, I do tend to ship rarepairs and often pairs that are considered problematic for whatever reason, and where shippers get shit for shipping and writing fanfics. Though I don't know if this particular pairing is considered terribly problematic or not. Have read youtube comments on their scenes, and many people there absolutely despised their scenes and found it disgusting that there weren't more comments saying the scenes were disgusting lol. Also, kinda unrelated, but one of my favourite ships is Hotch/Reid from Criminal Minds, and I just recently read that there are quite some people on reddit who hate that ship because "bla healthy father figure bla - he's his dad not his daddy - bla" and use nasty words to describe shippers, but I am very glad that there are lots of fun fanfics for these two nonetheless, ha! :D)
Sorry for babbling for so long, it's half past one, and I should stop rambling at your inbox and get some sleep. Have a nice day/night!
--
Ahahaha. No, it being problematic is not why.
It's far, far more likely there's none (or none that's easily findable) because the bulk of the fandom activity around TNG was around later seasons of the show. Maybe the Riker/Troi and Crusher/Picard shippers were more into early seasons, IDK. But a sequel movie that lots of people didn't even like or didn't even see is not going to be the source of the big ships in a TV fandom.
On top of that, a lot of the shipping patterns get set relatively early in a fandom. Sometimes, a character shows up later and changes the fandom a lot (Methos, Castiel), but often, many fans stick with how they saw things towards the beginning of canon.
Adding to that is the fact that the number of fic writers in 1996 was vastly smaller than now. Spaces also weren't always set up to accommodate rarepairs or rare fandoms. A lot of archives and lists were topic-specific, and that topic could be one single juggernaut ship.
If there was fic, I suppose it was probably on Usenet or a mailing list. The great era of fannish archives was in the 00s. This movie came out in 1996. Perhaps we even grabbed a relevant list in our attempts to save yahoo groups' data, but it's definitely not going to still be up with an easily googleable set of contents.

okay i give in to the foundationposting for a little bit sorry regulars
spoilers for season 2 episode 9 and some of my thoughts on what's going to happen next (psst it's mostly half baked opinions and rambling)
-literally zero way EVERYONE on terminus is dead. zero way. it's not possible. this isn't even me being delusioned there are just about ten things that don't line up. i will get into this later in the post but first
-i am so so happy that they went into demerzel's past. she is such an intriguing character to me and honestly i was wary to participate in this fandom because of how many people seemed to like. genuinely like her and cleon together. no hate to anyone but it's really not my thing like REALLY not my thing and i kind of cheered when she went all "well i tried to fix you by sleeping with you but well um you're just kind of weird. goodbye 😐" i CHEERED. girl. girl get it.
-and she is lich rally trapped into being with the cleons. i loved the scene when she was with the priestess lady a few episodes ago that was such an insight into her mind and this episode felt like that it was wonderful i was HOOKED i was like oh my god.
-also by the way this paints that scene with sareth in an entire new light. sareth asks "will you serve me" and demerzel GRITS THROUGH HER TEETH that She Serves Empire and maybe she was not trying to threaten her. maybe she was sending a message. saying "hey girl so i literally cannot do anything else. i am telling you i am bound to this man because i has no choice and YOU are going to bind yourself to this man as well."
-same with telling sareth that demerzel killed her family. demerzel didn't need to tell her. demerzel in fact probably should NOT have told her. day didn't want sareth to find out that he ordered it. but demerzel is telling her: if he tells me to kill i must. demerzel has no reason to threaten sareth she's not jealous she is just SICK and tired of loving this man out of compulsion and doing what he says. (this is a bit of the delusions sorry i just really don't like demerzel Actually loving empire and being jealous out of her own free will. so i am grasping at straws.)
-also demerzel is going to go back and like rip dusk and rue's faces off. she is going to Get them. like oh my god. i am becoming a demerzel apologist but i love rue i kind of hope she doesn't die
-okay on to the fate of terminus yeah first of all she is NOT dead. she simply isn't. zero percent chance all those guys are dead. my first evidence for this is the bite mark thing on hober's arm cause like. he says "oh the spacers probably marked me for later and that's how you tracked us down" but bel does not confirm this. he was the one who asked what the thing was on the arm. i don't think that's how the fleet found hober and constant which means it's something else which is very inch resting
-soooo. the invictus gets hit. and destroyed. and then it gets lined up and shot into terminus. and not once do we see a scene from that ship after it starts to explode. pounds the desk if you don't see the BODY it's not DEAD!!!! glawen (how do you spell his name) here is our prime example. man was not dead when his ship went down. and neither is terminus. last shot of the invictus is just the commander guy and that one girl looking at each other and like someone's hand loosens or something. there are like hundreds of people on that ship it was stashed and yet we see none of them???? no explosions???
-hober still has one of the teleport bracelet things... that is Going to be relevant. even though he said it's broken or something they wouldn't show it if not important
-they can't kill poly man :( he's not dead. he is chilling. trust me he told me himself /lying
-all in all just like. yes this is the Killing Main Characters show but i really struggle with believing that terminus is gone. i think the spacers are still relevant and i think we DIDN'T see the body and i think i still cried over bel and glawen anyways. they are so "she's been dead since the beginning" to me like they ARE doomed but damn if i didn't get attached anyways
-as always day you are so. huh. to me. like okay man yeah sure i think my lesbianism is shading me from what most of you all see in him (said politely) like have fun but i need him kind of gone sorry
-hari seldon my best friend back and axe murderer!! girl so true!! he has things wrong with him and it's so intriguing. he's so me
-love you salvor never change. consider lesbianism though. seriously. i miss phara every day they HAD something
-i missed sareth actually i kind of love her she's so spottingly sincere. i hope they don't murder her horrifically

For the redacted match-ups~ this is my first time participating in something like this so I'm really excited! I hope you're not too overwhelmed by the amount of asks I'm sure you're getting.
Okay so, at the moment I'm fixated on a bunch of Lacuna coil songs, but if we're talking about songs that represent me, we'll need to go back to my month-long fixation on the Bocchi the rock! soundtrack that only faded a week ago. "Guitar, loneliness and the blue planet" has made me cry multiple times. Specifically the end of the bridge towards the last chorus "Even if it's just this moment now! / Hear me… listen to me! / I am here! I am here! / I'm alive at this moment right now! / I try to scream out loud but not even a scribble of sound ever escapes from my own mouth". This is just the English translation, I promise it sounds better in Japanese.
Anyway, for the enneagram, I've taken a couple of tests and have gotten 3-4 different types, none of which I feel describe me. If it helps, my MBTI is INFP which I've gotten multiple times when taking the test and heavely identify with.
My imaginary friends were the Disney princesses. I'd imagine them sitting in my room and we would hold regular council meetings. After I moved countries it became plants instead. I imagined I could talk to them and used to vent to them a lot.
I moved to another country when I was little and no one could pronounce my name so I kinda grew up hating it and always wanted to change it. I love my name now and if I had to change it, it'd still be to something from my culture instead of something easier to pronounce. I'd either name myself Vasiliki (meaning royal) just because I think it suits me, or Agne (pronounced ag-nee with stress on the last sylable, meaning pure) because it is indirectly tied to the name I have now.
I don't care about Aaron and Ollie. I'm not attracted to men, I like Redacted for the plot and they have no plot. I only watched their videos because I ran out of other videos to watch.
A (queer)platonic relatioship with Camelopardalis fill with me joy. I want to hug him, kiss him, and I want to sit in silence with this man while we each do different things.
I am (sometimes literally) unable to talk when I'm tired, let alone ramble. But when I have the energy (and feel comfortable enough) to do so, I will overexcitedly talk about my latest fixation for hours if nothing stops me. My friends say it's like listening to a podcast. First I had fairies for most of my childhood, and mythology (and stars by extension) was the theme for the last two years. Now it's plants :3 I found out that a lot of things that don't look like roses belong to the rose family and naturally I had to map it out. But, of course, I can't just start at the rose family, so I mapped out the taxonomy of plants until the rose family. That mind-map has grown a lot, and I go between periods of research to add new plant families, and just staring at the map and smiling. Seriously, that thing makes me so happy. I haven't had the chance to go through it with my friends yet, but I will be unstoppable once I get the chance to start talking.
I'm so sorry for making this so long. I wanted to talk more about plants, but it wouldn't even be relevant so I had to stop myself. I look forward to seeing your interpretation of all this, but please don't pressure yourself!
P.S. I use pet-names for everyone. One time, when I had misunderstood something and was really stressed someone who was consoling me called me "honey" and "sweetie". It was so so comforting and I decided to start calling people things like that to make them feel good. I completely forgot that words like "baby" are usually used romantically. I'm already a very physically affectionate person so people constantly ask me if I'm dating any of my friends or trying to flirt with people. I'm not. I just like calling people cute things :')
Tumblr media
Well, you’re just a silly-billy if you think you can go on an adorable rant about the taxonomy of roses and the flowers that are roses but don’t look like roses and not expect me to pair you with Huxley, our favorite earth elemental!
He’s so loving and friendly and patient that he’d love your fixation-of-the-day podcasts, even the ones that aren’t about roses! That’s just one of the many things I think Huxley would find absolutely charming about you. (Other things would be your unique, lovely name and your sweet, giving shows of affection!)
Another perfect thing about the two of you is that I can easily, easily picture Mm Huxley adopting plants as his confidantes and friends after he moved to Dahlia just like you did. It would such a lovely and domestic scene, the two of you living together and introducing your little flora found families to each other.
Song:
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime/ And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine/ 'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions/ Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine
You gave me too much fun plant imagery to work with! I’m stuck on it, because it’s just too cute! This is also just one of my favorite love songs, because the imagery of pining and wishing on dandelions or, conversely, being pined over and wished for us just so sweet.
Runner-Ups:
INFP’s are characterized as sensitive, creative people with deep wells of empathy, which makes it sick SO much that Regulus is… you know, all that he is. Thankfully, Anton is all that he is: kind, quiet, and the type of man who would get adorably flustered when you call him “sweetie” or “baby”
Note: you don’t have to apologize for this being long; it was lovely getting to peek inside your head, and it was very helpful 💖
Want a match-up of your own? Read this post, and tell me about yourself! 💌

23 or 34?
why not both ☺️☺️
34 - my least favourite championship battle was 2018. it broke my heart early on as a tifosa but i also just got ridiculously bored and actually stopped watching f1 for awhile. 2021 also genuinely sucked overall because of how hateful it got in online spaces, regardless of who you were supporting.
23 - other than my father nico rosberg, i think that charles leclerc is underrated and before i get laughed at i will explain!! but under the cut i tend to ramble and i've been thinking about this a lot lately i am so sorry in advance u did not ask for this
send me a # from 1-78 and i will give my f1 opinions
to start this is a summation of both online AND offline places because i socialize and work with f1 fans irl.
also i am absolutely 100% bias but literally EVERY winter break for as long as i can remember charles has been the target of SOME debate that shouldn't be one at all. and he is largely viewed as the "loser" in these debates which are essentially talent competitions where the other driver is hyped up and people act like charles leclerc can't drive a car. this winter it's leclerc vs norris, last year leclerc vs sainz, the winter before was leclerc vs (iirc) russell, before that was leclerc vs vettel.
so we must ask WHY it is always charles being shoved into these debates and that is because people think that he is OVERrated and undeserving of the hype he's got. but he actually IS fully deserving, and because people think he is overrated and undeserving of hype, he is actually underrated.
he's so close in age to max, has known him for long enough, and has been in the ferrari seat for long enough that people want to comapre him to max. that's understandable, but charles isn't max. everyone seems to forget that he's been on the grid 3 full fewer seasons than max and he's only had a properly functioning team for ONE of them, maybe one and a half if you pick and choose certain moments from 2019 too.
it's all well and good to call ferrari a joke and a clownshow, especially for last season, but to acknowledge its relevance ONLY when discussing shitshows as a whole and when discussing carlos but not when discussing charles is strawpicking and fully negates and erases the fact that charles fully is becoming that guy and could be that guy when he has a team willing and able to back him up.
the questions asked to charles and carlos mid-race are not just a meme they are things that actually happened and they should NOT have happened. imagine how YOU would feel if asked to do mental gymnastics about tyre strategy at 350 kmh when you also have no way of knowing what the lap times and tyre performance are overall?
there is a reason it's funny and that is because NONE of the other teams expected this from their drivers. it is not fair to not take this into account when discussing the driving skills and talent of charles (and carlos).
also a SMALL anecdote i love is that, on multiple occasions in the last couple years, charles has asked for max's lap times even when he wasn't anywhere near him because he knew that he could do the same times or close, rather than the times that others closer to him are doing. max has literally done the same. they're playing 5d chess but ferrari (and a lot of fans dfkm) are playing 2d chess. and that's at the same time that max has a team able to back him and support him when he makes a mistake, which he does because he's a fucking person, and so we don't even remember it happening later on.
anyway. charles has had ONE fighting chance for a championship and his team took it from him before he could even start fighting. did he fuck it in imola? yeah, but he rallied as best he could. did he fuck it in france? yeah but that's ONE mistake in a season where his team was out to get him and where it was already becoming obvious he wasn't going to win. the gravediggers started digging in spain and were just waiting for everyone to notice.
overall charles did really good considering it was his first season fighting for a championship and i think if he'd had a team supporting it he wouldn't have "cracked" under pressure so much. i'm still not convinced he even did "crack" though since he was fighting for p2 until literally the last lap of abu dhabi.
and yet there is STILL this massive debate going on about whether or not he's talented enough for his seat at all. i have had this conversation with coworkers who have watched f1 for years and who seem to genuinely believe it for whatever reason. i don't know if it's because he's getting blamed for the team or because the team is pimping him out instead of focusing on his skills and wins or because his "mindset" isn't as murderous as some people want it to be, but his talent and skills as a driver have become genuinely underrated. the end

20 Questions for Fic Writers -tag game
I got tagged by @zyrafowe-sny, thank you for the tag! This was fun! I wrote the answers at like 5 am sorry if they're rambly and unhinged haha.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
13, but really 7, because all but one of them are Finnish and English language versions of the same stories sjdfnasdfj
WWAIT 14! one of them is anonymous jhfashdfj almost forgot about that one
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
24 448
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Well,,, the fandoms I’ve published fic for are Hetalia (kringelis krongelis i know) and The Owl House, but when you add WIPs there’s also the Mandalorian, Noragami, and BNHA, and there USED to be HTTYD and GNG as well. Yeah the last one is the old anime where dogs fight bears. What can I say it’s really popular in Finland, Hopeanuoli 4ever
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
hands, grasping (the one TOH fic so no surprise there), Six Sunflowers (which is the oldest), Traitor’s Glory, Two Boys, Two Moments in Time, and lastly December 30th, 1929. 
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I mean I do try! When I leave comments it’s always nice to get answers, so I think it’s just nice to answer others. :) I do have some comments atm I’ve not answered but. Well. Just look at my url lmao
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
LMAO. I have no idea. I’m just going by the published ones here, but like: character seemingly falls to his death, character finds his mom’s dead on his 9th birthday and is left with his two other underage siblings to fend for themselves in the 1930s ussr, character resigns himself to the fact that his siblings probably hate him as he’s starving to death in a prison camp. Which one’s the angstiest? You choose!!
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Lmaooo well none of them are really _happy_, uh. I think Laid Down By Human Hands has probably the most neutral ending, whereas Six Sunflowers is more bittersweet, but like the sweet is there… And then Two Boys isn’t terrible either? Like it sucks a little cuz that kid’s living in WWII time Finland ya know, but it’s _fine_. I dunno! In truth it’s probably the fic on anon that’s the least terrible, but even that ending’s not a _happy_ one, it’s got unrequited pining in it lol.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nope! So far at least! I don’t think my fics are popular enough to get it haha.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope! I’m almost strictly a gen writer, aside from like. 2 AUs and one TOH wip. I guess some of the WIPs could potentially and maybe should have some fade to black kinda scenes because they’re stories involving a fair amount of romance and in one of them it’s even kind of relevant to the plot. But yeah no. 
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
WELL, okay. You see, I actually started out writing via original fiction? I was like 12 when I made up a story based on a long-lasting play-pretend during recess thing I had going on with my dear friend, and it was. Written and plotted by a 12-year-old. But THEN I got really into the How To Train Your Dragon movies, and then I crossed over my story and HTTYD and then tried (still kinda low-key sorta in the process of) to separate it into my original story again, but this time with dragons! So that’s. Like the craziest journey ahfijsd my original as-of-yet unwritten fantasy story has a crossover sequel with HTTYD lmao. Also just occasionally I think about a potential giant crossover that’s got allllll my faves meeting and interacting, but that’s solely for daydreaming and “lmao wouldn’t it be funny if” -scenarios in my head. I’ve later also crossed the characters from my original story with other ones I’ve liked, in my head lol, but I don’t think I’ve written out any. Other than the TT x HTTYD hybrid. (TT is the WIP name for that original story. it doesn’t stand for anything anymore tho lmao it’s just tt)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope! Not to my knowledge, at least! Again, my fics don’t get enough hits/are too niche for anyone to think about stealing them, I imagine. 
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yeah! Almost all of them! By me. What can I say, I try to fight the good fight to keep my native language alive on the internet and also in my head. 
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No. I did once talk about the possibility with a friend, but nothing ever came out of it. 
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Hhhh. This is very silly but I don’t really actively ship stuff, and rarely think of ships outside of when I’m watching or reading the source material or something. Thus the one I can feel confident in saying I ship is a…. oc x canon ship sshfskjfsidkfajksaf or maybe it’d be more accurate to say oc x mutated blorbo version of a canon character lmao. It’s mainly in. 2 AUs that have so little to do with the source material that they might as well be original fiction and probably by this point mostly are lol. 
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
GHHH I want to finish ALL of my big 5 main WIPs because I love them dearly and want to read them, but then again. I don’t know if I ever will because I can’t get myself to fuckin WRITE any of them. So I’m just gonna say all of my main WIPs. That is:
TT (original fantasy story thing)
home front fic (historical fic set in WWII Finland about the friendship between a kid and the soviet POW sent to work on his home farm)
Kingdom AU (girl from the country accidentally befriends the crown prince and there’s politics and they fall in love and some cool stuff and some less cool stuff happens. hard to summarize cuz i’ve never had to, target demographic is like. three people + me. here's the aesthetics and vibe blog it's got)
sad BNHA fic (what if. Eri got ofa. but how? i murder someone to haunt the narrative. easy. sad. sad bnha fd. naming skills on full display here) 
anddddd. hypothetical TOH fic (what if i came up with what happens after TTT before the two other eps of s3 came out and stayed on that path. what if the first thing i wrote about it was hunter falling off a cliff to his death. what then).
Kind of also TOH fic 3 (it’s about evelynnnnn) but that one is. Hopefully. Shorter and has the outline all written out so there’s a bigger likelihood of me finishing it someday. And to be fair the hypothetical TOH fic isn’t that long either, I could get it done, one day, but then the other ones have grown to massive size plotwise so I don’t know if I could ever get them done, actually. I hope so! But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
16. What are your writing strengths?
I guess my plots are sometimes kinda good? Sad BNHA fic and Kingdom AU are pretty cool on that side. I used to be pretty good at writing dialogue too, but that was back when I a) wrote regularly, b) read a lot, and c) socialized. So. But I used to be good! though back then my plots were real frickin weird lol. in my defense. i was 14 to 17.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Writing itself. That’s the only answer I’ve got because recently I haven’t written enough to know what I’d be bad at. So just. Writing. See I can plot without writing, that’s why I’m good at that lmao
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Sure! Hell yeah! I’m gonna do that! I have done that! I love it, I love languages. Though translations are appreciated. Though I think it should be for emphasis, more so than just writing it in the language just for the hell of it (though like I had a wip where all the spoken dialogue was to be in Russian because there was so little of it and it was simple enough that I could do that, but i lost my notes for it). I think if it’s just normal dialogue and the pov character knows the language, it’s best to just add like, “they said in Finnish” to the dialogue tag, especially if there’s a lot of it. 
In my personal opinion, also when the character doesn’t know the language, I probably wouldn’t write it out? But then if a character knew the basics of the language and it was maybe one sentence I would write it in the language. Or if it was a really important line, like someone telling another character they love them in their native language, or a culturally significant thing, like, idk the adoption vow in mando'a in the Star Wars universe. But sometimes it’s also just fun to show off your own language skills! So overall, strongly encouraged. Just. Try not to use Google Translate (etc.) for it jfajfasjdn
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Hhooo. Probably the Ginga-fandom, but that one was so brief it barely counts, so I’ll say HTTYD because of the crossover thing. If it’s just fanfic without crossing it over with my own original work lol then Hetalia. 
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
TRAITOR’S GLORY!!!!!! I got to talk about my rather niche but intense area of interest in it, which is Soviet POWs in Finland during the Continuation War 1941-1944. Well, that’s the finished one at least, there are some snippets of WIPs I’ve not posted nor finished that are also very good. Imo. But. Yeah. Most of the other favourite stuff I have, concerning my fics, hasn’t been written. So. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But Traitor’s Glory is pretty nice. :)  Thanks again for the tag! I guess I'll tag some people, though no pressure: @evevoli @cowboy-garfield @peach-oolong-tea @starcloud-nova @littlekysworld @slightlycrunchy uh. yeah. If you see this and wanna do it you can say I tagged you! :) And no pressure!

Just finished Allies or enemies newest chapter!!
First off- you’re killing me with that cliffhanger. I am dying. It is fatal. How could you? Though I am very excited to see if my theories about Reader’s backstory are close or not. I’m also just excited in general to see what happens next 👀 Ya got me hanging off the edge of my seat
Secondly yikes. Poor sun, moon, and reader. None of them are having a good day, a couple of days to be exact lol. You weren't joking in that opening note when you said moon was suffering. It was nice seeing sun and moo talk with the kids though! And it was incredibly sweet of them to share the cake as well ;-; Tempted to get me some cake now but alas it is late at night. Got myself sidetracked sorry but yeah jeez, they’re all going through something. It’s sad seeing what Reader’s thinking but kudos to you for how you displayed and wrote their grief. Idk if what I’m saying makes sense. Anywho! Sorry for the rambles, there would be more but I am struggling to keep my eyes open so I’m signing off for now! Can’t wait to see the next part and keep up the wonderful work :0
Ah, my apologies on the fatal diagnosis, mayhaps knowing the next chapter is in the works will help? I have to keep the tension high, 😅
👀 theories you say? Lol, I probably can't confirm or deny, but I'd love theories in my ask box, I was wondering how people were piecing everything together so far
As for the rest, no worries about rambling, I'm really glad you're enjoying it! Yes, the kids are very cute, and surprisingly kind of relevant to the plot(kinda?) but I wanted a cute moment in there somewhere too, lol.
Literally everyone in this story is kinda going through it, this is not the first time I've been told I write grief very well, idk what that says about me, but thank you nonetheless!

How does Manwë feel about flightless birds or even dodos
Hi! First of all, I’m very sorry for how long this took me to reply to - I’ve gone to see family this week and it’s been a bit hectic but I have been thinking about this question, I promise! Second of all, it’s a weird ramble, so please don’t feel obliged to read it all!
You mention dodos (which I love) and this sent me deep down the rabbit hole of thinking about creationism vs evolution in Tolkien which, whilst not relevant to the question, was very interesting! Especially in regards to the idea of flightless birds being created, rather than evolving after the lack of a predator, or the opening of a habitable niche after a major evolutionary catastrophic event. Why would flightless birds have been created? They occupy an evolutionary place in our world in relation to land (eg. rhea’s, ostriches, kiwi’s etc) or water (eg. penguins) - but I wonder how you could argue for their creation in Arda. ‘Just for fun, these will have wings but shan’t use them!’; I love it.
To delve deeper, you’d have to go into Tolkien’s own views on creationism etc. and I won’t go into that because a) I’d have to use my brain to formulate the ideas I read about and my brain is currently on holiday/total mush and b) this is a fun question! So I’ll stick to a fun answer.
Ultimately in my mind, and I am biased because I love Manwë, he’s a benevolent good figure as a foil to Melkor (who is himself a complex figure). I know there is some discourse as to their passivity in later ages/the role of free will/their judgements on good vs evil, but I am an unapologetic Valar supporter and also here for a good time, not an academic time - that said, the conversation is very interesting. However, at the end of the day, I like the Valar and I like Manwë. He’s neat, he’s nice and most importantly, he loves all birds regardless of what they are. Big, small, flightless or not.
I’ve also got a personal theory about birds - they link nearly every bit of the world. The skies, the seas, islands, mountains, trees. Flightless birds, or ones that can only fly a limited amount, are included in this. In a way, much like Manwë, they connect all aspects of the world. Perhaps different birds represent different Valar - ravens for Mandos, owls for Varda who sees all in the night sky, kestrels for Oromë, penguins (a flightless bird!) for Ulmo, swallows for Yavanna in the spring. So in that regard, I think all birds are special to him - like the rest of his family.
Don’t know who dodos connect to, if anyone, but I imagine he’d love them too! By actual accounts, as they were rather unbothered by humans (sadly), they were most likely rather sweet. Manwë likes birds, birds like Manwë. I don’t think he’d think they were lesser in any way (again, you could go off on a tangent about the Valar and their views on men, orcs etc. but I won't). My headcanon of Manwë is as a counsel of mercy and a healer of broken things, so I don't think he would think they are worth any less than, say, eagles (sapience or not).
TL;DR Manwë loves all birds, flightless or not, because they are not only representative of the ones closest to him, but because he’s fairly non-discriminatory. Dodos are most definitely included!
Please bear in mind that I do need to reread the Silm, it’s been awhile, so this is pretty much all headcanon!

seeing their s/o’s nipple piercings
ateez x fem! reader
fluff, some members suggestive
requested by @tinkerbellwoo 💓💗 tysm ily!! (did you end up getting your nips pierced?!)
hongjoong:
WILL STARE 1/4
get ready for lots of questions
he’s gonna be a little shy though
opening the door into the studio, hongjoong seated in his chair- you couldn’t help the wicked grin on your face as you pace towards him.
“hey joongie~ you’ll never guess what i did”
spinning his chair around to look at you, hongjoong wished he didn’t start talking before he saw what you were doing. “hmmm you went and got me a- OH~!”
the view of your lifted up hoodie and newly pierced nipples on display made the man in front of you audibly suck in a whiny gasp. slapping his hands over his mouth, hongjoong quickly tried to cover up the awkward noise he made with a light giggle.
“u-ummm… what is this y/n?” he says unable to stop himself from staring hard at your chest. he knew it too, but you were so mesmerizing and your nipples hard from the cool air and pierced with silver made hongjoong’s face burn with a blush.
the more you talked about the whole idea of getting them pierced and why, and how long you’ve wanted them- hongjoong couldn’t help but reach his hand out to touch it. but before he could do anything, he let out a yelp as you smacked his hand away. “no sir! no touching- they hurt!”
the way his face contorted into this shocked, open mouthed flushed cheeks look- made you chuckle out. “a-ah sorry y/n! umm i just wanted to uh..” scoffing out in embarrassment, hongjoong took his head into his hands as he bend over in his chair. you were about to say ‘it’s okay’ and pull your hoodie back down, but when he jerked his head back up to look this time into your eyes you perked your eyebrow in question. and you couldn’t help but shiver after what he asked…
“y/n… how long until i get to touch them?”
seonghwa:
CHEEKY MR SMIRKER
literally smirks when he sees them
you’ll make him GULP for sure
“ugh it’s so hot in here babe, open a window” you whine out while sprawled across the couch fanning yourself. making seonghwa just give you a low chuckle to slip past his smiling lips while watching you squirm.
“well y/n, you are in layers.. you’ve literally had my sweater on for days” he spoke softly coming over to stop your flapping hands, and give them a quick kiss. “you know.. sometimes your man wants to see his pretty girl’s body~”
the way you opened your eyes so fast and brought your hands instinctively to cup your breasts- sent a low hum to come out of seonghwa, and seemingly enough sent you to stutter out some incoherent blabber. “w-what?? well i-“
“y/n. take off the sweater” his strong demand made your body sit up on the couch and scoot back slightly. his eyes burning into yours, as he leaned down further. “or do you want me to?”
it wasn’t really that you didn’t want him to take off your clothes- but because of what you were hiding, you thought he wouldn’t find out about your new piercings this way. so, with fumbling hands and giving seonghwa a small “no i’ll do i-it,” you lift his sweater over your head and get met with a click of his tongue.
“oh-? and you’ve been hiding these from me for how long?” seonghwa says through his tight lipped smirk, watching how you still went to cover your breasts through your tank top. bringing your hands up to play with your tops straps, seonghwa swallows in the sight of you. “well, just like a week maybe, more?”
“a week-?!” he exclaims unexpectedly loud, bringing his hand to pull down the front of your tank top so your breasts come into pure sight. he can’t help the groan that escapes him as he brings his finger up to trace the piercing, and the gasp that comes out of you.
“a week and i haven’t known about this?! y/n. this is going to be fun”
yunho:
WILL STARE 2/4
curious boy
he wants to touch this can go both ways
as yunho cooked himself some ramen in the kitchen, you sat in the living room and watched him from there- the two of you talking about the weeks plans, until you randomly blurted out a question you’ve been wanting to ask for a little while.
“yuyu, what do you think about nipple piercings?”
the choice of question made yunho immediately look at you with a little smile. he knew since you brought it up, it had to be something you’ve been thinking about and his opinion was important to you. so, putting down his bowl- yunho strutted over to your side of the couch and plopped himself down.
“and why is this relevant my love?” he asks back to you while tucking his legs up to his body and facing you, leaning his head into his propped hand on the couch cushion. seeing you blush softly and give him a little giggle- he knew you were embarrassed.
“well, it’s just.. i did something a little bit ago- and well-“ you mutter lowly while looking straight at his chest where a splatter of sauce catches your eye. your gaze making him look down himself, right at the stain. laughter comes out of him and it makes you snap out of your trance and blurt out the next statement.
“yunho- i got my nipples pierced!”
your confession made him stop his noises and cover his mouth, “wait what?”
“a couple weeks ago- you were gone on that trip and i wanted to do it, i didn’t know that i’d lowkey be regretting it and-“ your rambling stops when yunho kisses you quickly, cupping your cheek. “y/n, stop worrying” going in for another kiss- a little more passionate this time, he pulls back again and shifts his position. “well… let’s see em!”
and with taking off your shirt, the sight of your breasts perked out in front of him, decorated with silver and the small nervous breaths you let out- sent yunho into a crisis of his sanity.
“fuck- wow… they look so good..” his paused causing an extreme tension to fill the air, with you partly undressed and shy- yunho’s pants began to tighten
yeosang:
AWKWARD BOY at first
but he’ll come around ehehe
just force him to look
“yeo come here, i need your help!!” your shout echoed through the bathroom out into the bedroom where your boyfriend laid. his body tucked into bed, warm and tired- all got disheveled when he made his way towards you in distress.
“what is it babe-“ seeing your bare back facing him through the showers glass door, flexing with your arm contractions trying to open your body scrub lid. just the sight of your skin made him clear his throat nervously. you never failed to send him immediately into alert with your effortless beauty.
“this stupid thing won’t open, my hands are too slippery” touching your back, signaling for you to give the object to him- yeosang couldn’t help himself but to look down at your bare chest. and even with the split amount of time he glanced- he noticed.
you got your nipples pierced.
all of the sudden he had gotten warm all over, and when he got more quieter than usual you looked up at him. yeosang’s face flushed, and his eyes focused up- you knew he saw. none of it helped when you let out a giggle, “oh sangie… you saw~” not trusting his voice enough, all he gave you for an answer was a nod of his head.
“well-“ you start, fully facing him now “do you think they look okay?” making sure to slide your hands up your body to cup your breasts, you accent the freshly decorated flesh with a light push. watching his eyes dart down from your chest up to your face and then away repeatedly. he stuttered out, embarrassed from how fast he got distracted “yes! y-yes they do”
his response made you smile widely and kiss his lips softly, then with your hand- you bring it up to his neck and hold it softly, then pulling away from yeosang’s mouth you whisper for another reaction
“once they fully heal, i’ll let you play with them~”
san:
WILL STARE 3/4
lots of licking his lips
thinks you’ve exceeded the expectations of hot
“just let me see them y/n!!” san says with the biggest pout formed on his lips. currently tugging at your loose fit shirt in wanting of it off.
you mistakenly told him that you went and got your nipples pierced, and now he was continuing to pester you about showing him- because apparently he was the reason you got them.
well maybe it was a reason, but you’ve always wanted to get them done so you did. “no san! they are sore- i don’t want you to touch them!” you complain back with a matching pout, pushing at his chest. which made him start becoming fussy and succeeding at pulling up your shirt to where he saw your stomach.
“y/n- i am the one you got them for!! let me see!! i won’t touch them i promise baby! please!!”
you didn’t know how much more complaining you could handle so you gave in to the whiny man on top of you, “fine!! just don’t be weird san” he didn’t know what you really meant by weird, but neither did he care when you said yes. he gave you the biggest smile and lifted your shirt up for you easily now without your struggle.
when he got met with your chest, san didn’t look away- just dead panned straight on. gulping down the saliva he unexpectedly got from the view. “holy- y/n, fuck- you” and before he could say any more, you put and finger up to his wet lips and shushed him. “no, don’t get weird with it”
“but i’m not weird with it!! i’m sorry- i just happen to be very turned on-“ he can’t even finish over the small scream you let out from hearing his confession, “san!!!”
“but y/n seriously, you look so fucking gorgeous- i hope you don’t mind me taking all your shirts away forever now.. you’re going to be topless from now on”
mingi:
BLUSHES SO HARD
really actually is curious and wants to touch
loves how they look through your shirt
you told mingi that you got your nipples pierced, so when you came back from the appointment with just a tank top on- he was so excited.
from the bright blush on his cheeks, to the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on his face- mingi was hopping over the couch to come see you. “y/n!! oh my gosh- you’re here!!” his little giggles and stomps through the hallway made you feel so happy. he was so cute with his enthusiasm for something you thought was fun and cool to do.
and when he came into sight to you putting down your purse on the counter, he blurts out cutely “i see them through your shirt y/n” his honesty and bluntness never failed to make you laugh, “yes mingi baby, but do you wanna see them without the shirt?”
his small gasp and ‘yes’ chants gave you his answer, so lifting your tank over your chest- your breasts all perked up with its new accessory. mingi immediately brought out his hands with a grabbing motion. “no, no touching yet okay? i’m sorry” the pout formed on his face sent you small pings of sadness.
you couldn’t wait until they fully were ready to be played with, so mingi could one; be entertained, and two; feel pleasurably sensitive.
“y/n, but what if i want to hold your boobs? what am i going to do then?”
wooyoung:
WILL STARE 4/4
pops a boner right then and there
honestly probably the most dirty minded
peeling the potatoes that wooyoung had set out for you, he prepared the other ingredients for his dish. “thanks for the help babe~” the two of you were busying yourselves in the kitchen this evening, he had thought it be a good idea for you to get a good meal in after the little argument you had earlier about something you chose to do without his knowledge of.
you decided to get your nipples pierced about a month ago while wooyoung was out of town for work. you’ve been wanting them for awhile, and wooyoung knew that, but you didn’t end up telling him about it, and evidently he didn’t even know about it until tonight when he slipped his hand under your shirt and was met with metal.
“i still want to know how long this whole healing thing is going to take y/n.” he speaks up while stirring the boiling pot of ingredients and broth. “well it’ll be a couple months woo, i don’t know why you’re so uptight about it”
from the sink, which you were washing your hands at- wooyoung reached over and slapped your ass. causing a surprised yelp to come out of your mouth. “what the heck?!” you turn back to look at the smug face plastered on the male.
giving him a wrinkle of your nose and sticking out your tongue, you flick water into the vicinity of his face, making wooyoung playfully snarl. “it’s because i really want to use this to my advantage”
his statement peaking your interest, you finish drying your hands and then position yourself over the counter, propping your chest for the perfect view above for him. you try and look confused until he dumbs it down for you
“y’know for sex?”
jongho:
HE WILL ACT UNFAZED
but on the inside he’s screaming holy hell
PLEASE THE GASPS YOU MAKE WHEN HE TOUCHES I- he’s going to get horny i’m sorry
you could’ve sworn jongho knew about your nipple piercings from when you first got them, but you guess he just didn’t pay enough attention to it.
but with two weeks past, and no word out of the man about it- you wanted to make sure he saw them. so when you knew he’d be coming into the bedroom for something, you caught yourself in there before- taking off your shirt.
but to what he said, really surprised you
“y/n i know what you’re doing.” you stopped your movements and stood still, breasts out in the open room, open to his roaming eyes. jongho brought his hand up to scratch at his scalp as he began towards you slowly. “oh yeah, do you?”
your little remark back just made him smirk slightly and nod his head in affirmation, “mmhmm, you’re trying to catch me off guard and make me notice what you did to your pretty boobs, yeah i know.”
his confession left you with a blazing blush across your face and a hand to cover your bare chest, but with jongho’s sudden strut forward and stop to your hand from coverage, you didn’t know what was going on.
“i noticed at first, but i can’t handle it. it’s too much y/n, you don’t even know” his desperate tone and tighter grip to your wrist gave you a wave of sudden weakness, “wait, really jongho?”
“oh my fuck- yes! i just get so crazy around you, i don’t know what to do about it.”
once you let him get a feel, he’ll never go back… he just can’t when you’re so sexy and beautiful- making all the most pretty noises and reactions…

attempt two at me literally going insane: bec being red and not green is in some way connected to the fact callie is predominating. something something lord english something something cherub blood colours
i dont have this one fully thought out
the green sun is inherently tied to caliborn and the universal guardian whatever theyre called are inherently tied to the green sun. if caliborn isnt going to become lord english in this universe then the green sun cant be whats powering bec there thats it those are my thoughts i finally got them into words
FIRST GUARDIANS THATS WHAT THEYRE CALLED
im done for real now
@artistically-failing
ding ding ding! You have unlocked a prize!
There's a lot I could say about this because this is sort of the opening secret that really explains the mechanics of Universe A and why it exists in the first place. The mechanics are especially important, because if there's no English, theeeeen...well, the things in Homestuck that exist to bring him into being...do not function in the same ways here. Because they, obviously, will not be birthing him.
I have some scenes I could show that are a little more 'relevant' but they're not as interesting as what I'm going to show instead.
TLDR: he's already here gone
(see below the cut)
uu:  WHO THE FuCK WAS THAT.
UU:  i'm sorry?
uu:  SOMEONE JuST FUCKING KILLED ME.  ONE OF YOuR FuCKING FRIENDS OR SOMETHING.
uu:  WHOEVER THIS ASSHOLE WAS HE WAS ON DERSE.
uu:  HE DIDN'T EVEN CHALLENGE ME TO PROPER MANLY COMBAT.  HE JuST FuCKING ATTACKED ME LIKE A COWARD WHEN I COuLDN'T RETALIATE.
UU: how woUld my friends even get to yoU?  they're in a whole other reality!  a fact which yoU remind me of all too often!
UU:  even if they knew how to help me they woUldn't be able to get here!
uu:  I'M GOING TO FIND THAT MOTHERFuCKER AND I'M GOING TO KILL HIM.
uu:  THEN I'LL GO TO SLEEP SO THAT YOu CAN WAKE UP COVERED IN HIS BLOOD.
uu:  MAYBE I'LL EAT PART OF HIM TOO SO THAT YOu CAN WAKE uP KNOWING THE RANCID TASTE OF HIS BLOOD.
uu:  IMAGINE IT SISTER.
uu:  HOW GLORIOuS IT WOuLD BE TO KNOW THE TASTE OF YOuR FRIEND'S BLOOD.
uu:  HOW FANTASTIC.
uu:  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
UU:  very matUre, brother.  i do not know what yoU are rambling on aboUt though, none of my friends coUld have gotten to you.  if yoU died on derse due to some folly of yoUr own, that is hardly my concern.
UU:  i have given Up on playing with yoU a long time ago, and a dreamself, while Useful, isn't necessary regardless, so it woUldn't affect oUr game.
UU:  withoUt a dreamself thoUgh, yoU've sUddenly made yoUrself a mUch easier problem to deal with.  thank yoU, now i don't have to worry aboUt what yoU are doing when i am awake.
uu:  SHuT THE FuCK uP.
uu:  YOu ARE SuCH AN INSuFFERABLE ANNOYING BITCH.  ISN'T IT AGAINST YOuR PRECIOuS RuLES TO KILL ME LIKE THAT?  STOP FuCKING LYING ABOuT IT AND AT LEAST ACTuALLY ADMIT TO WHAT YOu DID.
uu:  AND BE A FAIR SPORT ABOuT IT AND TELL ME HOW YOU FuCKING DID IT.  I KNOW HOW TO SuRVIVE ON DERSE.  I KNOW ALL OF ITS NOOKS AND CRANNIES AND LITTLE DRIPPING PLACES THAT NO ONE EVER GOES.
uu:  HOW DID A STUPID WHORE LIKE YOu GET SOMEONE THERE TO KILL ME.
uu:  RuLES ARE SO IDIOCIALLY IMPORTANT TO YOu I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CONVINCED YOuRSELF TO FINALLY OFF ME.  BuT YOu DID.  NOW SHOW ME YOUR DAMNED WINNING HAND.
uu:  IT'S NOT FAIR TO KEEP ME WAITING.
UU:  i very well can't talk to yoU when yoU're talking to me, that mUch shoUld be obvioUs!
UU:  and, once again since apparently yoU can't be bothered to listen the first time:  i didn't do anything.  to my knowledge, none of my friends have been involved.
UU:  they don't even know anything aboUt us other than the fact that yoU're my brother and that you're awfUl.
UU:  that second part is completely yoUr faUlt, by the way, for being awfUl to people who coUld have been oUr friends and coUld have helped bring Us closer together.
UU:  bUt, no.  instead yoU had to go and be yoUr usual awfUl self to them, and now they are my friends.
UU:  if they don't know oUr secret, i don't see how one of them coUld go to derse and kill yoU.  if yoU're even really dead.
UU:  are yoU trying to fool me?  to trick me into explaining a plan that i don't have to kill yoU so that yoU can make sure that it never happens?
UU:  i have no sUch plans, brother.  my friends have no ability to kill yoU and my allies on prospit are not ready to start the war yet.  and the prospitians are naturally weaker than their derse coUnterparts, it is unlikely they woUld be able to kill you.  derse valUes its royalty, and yoU are their lord..
uu:  YOu'RE DAMN RIGHT THEY DO.  THEY VALuE ME SO MUCH THAT THEY DIDN'T STOP ME FROM GETTING FuCKING MURDERED.  HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT BEFORE YOu TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT?!
UU:  i didn't do anything to my knowledge.
UU:  ??
UU:  yoU keep trying not to sleep, don't yoU.
UU:  whenever it's my tUrn i come back to realize that i've lost several days with my friends.  and even thoUgh yoU've been awake so long, yoU aren't sending anything to me or my friends.  yoU always have to talk to someone and i'm always left to clean Up yoUr mess.
UU:  bUt yoU aren't doing that.
UU:  yoU're really dead.
UU:  yoU aren't sleeping becaUse sleeping frightens yoU now.
uu:  SHUT uP.
UU:  i'm right.  oh wow, i'm really right.
UU:  do yoU know what this means, brother?
UU:  i'll wait.
UU:  still waiting ^u^
UU:  oh alright i Understand.  yoU don't want to give me this pleasUre.  or, maybe, yoU're still too afraid to talk.
UU:  becaUse yoU already know what i have to say.
UU:  a certain friend of mine has convinced me to fight against yoU.  he was asking me aboUt the games we play, and he started figUring things oUt.
UU:  he's a very smart fellow, my friend.  yoU've never really been aware of him, thoUgh, becaUse you always thoUght that he was someone else.
UU:  anyways, dear brother, he has offered to help me.
uu:  HELP YOu DO WHAT.
UU:  hehe, i knew yoU woUld be able to stay silent forever.
UU:  oh, dear brother, he has convinced me to win.  to do anything i can to keep winning.
UU:  i have received the wonderfUl gift of yoUr death on derse, and i do not intend to sqUander it.
UU:  i know there's no hope for yoU to change.  and with the help of my friends, defeating yoU will be simple.
UU:  i told them my name.
UU:  and, even if you tell them yoUrs, it won't matter.  they won't shift to yoUr side becaUse of how yoU've treated them, and how yoU've spoken of me.
UU:  yoU've dUg yoUr own grave, brother.  made yoUr own bed.
UU:  and now yoU're going to lie in it and sleep for eternity.

hello! just curious, how do you plot out your stories? (for example, what have you done to plan out the wings au? do you have it all in your head? do you plan it out on paper or in a doc specifically for it? do you just go with the flow? sorry if this is a lot of questions lol i'm just trying to convey my point-)
hello, synonym!! lovely to see you again! I'd love to share my process!
as I explain my personal methods (again, personal, just how I do things!), I'll use the wings au as an example because i know you've read it and it'll just be easier over all. but essentially, yes to all of the above, just with different parts of the story!
my progression is: chaotic doc, background (as needed), basic written plot, expansion on the plot, any other details needed, and then just write things! but don't worry, I'll provide more detail, i say as if i'm capable of being concise
(putting below a readmore for simplicity)
chaotic doc: so, the very first thing I do when i have a story is open up a doc, and write down everything i know about it in little bullet points and rambling sentences, just basic information with no organization. the organizing can come later, right now I just want to get as much of what's in my head onto the paper as possible.
I type out the basic premise of the story or the few things I know about how I want it to go, the things I know I want to remember later, things I'd need to think about to set it up, etc. for the wings au, this was details like everyone's wings (things to remember later), how they got those wings and a sentence or two about what the world was like now (things I needed to think about to set it up), a little blurb about where the story would start. this is less writing details about the story, and more noting down the details I want to figure out later in the expansion. i find it works best to type this out because i'm a much faster typer than I am at physical writing, which allows me to follow the flow of my thoughts a lot better and go back and change things.
background: background prepares me for the next step, but the amount of effort I put into this section depends on how complex my story is. it basically means write down (we've moved to pencil and paper now, but this could be digital too if you prefer) anything you need to know in order to set up the rest of your story. what do you need to know in order to tell the story you need to and to get you where you want to be? for the wings au, the background was that the world had been overrun with monsters and everyone was living underground now. the neverseen had been defeated, or so they thought, coming back later. all these things that essentially prepared me to get to the plot. it told me where the story was happening and the emotional/physical environment everything else would happen under. if you have a more worldbuilding heavy world, this step might be a little more complex, or if there's something very specific with the characters you need as context beforehand.
sometimes the readers will be aware of pieces of the background, and it's even necessary for them to know--for example, you all knowing the elven world is in the middle of a monster apocalypse and living underground; if you didn't know, the rest of the story wouldn't make any sense. but there may be things you write down that are just for you to know, personal notes. for example, I have notes written about how the monsters came to be, more specifically, that you all haven't been made aware of and may never be. planning this out is for you, so if there's something you want to remind yourself to keep in mind while writing, this could be a good place. but now that we know the world we're writing in, we can move on
basic plot: for me, I struggle to figure out where to take a story, and if I don't have the basic concept laid out before I start writing, I ended up with really weird stories that completely deviate from what i wanted (I say this from experience). so I break it down into the bare essentials. literally as basic as I can be. there are five crucial parts of a plot: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. just those five. for each of those, i write--writing, because it takes more time (allows me to think) and feels more organized to me, but you can do it differently--just the general idea I have for each section. just as few words as possible. detail comes later. for the wings au I literally wrote "they get wings" for rising action. having read the wings au, you know just how simplified that is.
one things that might help is consider how you would explain this idea to someone in one or two sentences. you just want to make sure you have a beginning, middle, end, and the transition between them. from there you've got the skeleton of your story, and everything else can fit itself into this idea.
expansion: now that you have the skeleton, it's time to fill in some of the more essential anatomy. this is where you add the specifics. for me, i write this physically in bullet points in a journal of some kind. I take the first section, and write down how the story is going to start. where am I going to begin this journey. for the wings au I wrote "beginning: sneaking into breeding facility to destroy monsters. problem: caught/monster breaks loose." if you remember this is essentially the events of the first chapter but in two sentences. I'm giving enough detail that I know what I'm going to write, but not so much it's going to be stifling to follow my exact notes when I actually get to writing. this will be different for different people, so you may want more or less detail than I provided, I'm just giving an example of how I did it.
I continue this for the rest of the plot, but that doesn't mean every single little detail that will ever happen is planned out. I'm not patient enough to be super thorough with every little thing, so I go long enough until I have a solid understanding of what I'm going to start with when I'm writing, or just until I'm bored and can't deal with planning anymore. for me, that meant I was more detailed when planning from the mission in the facility to them getting to the abandoned gnomish village, as those would be some of the first things I would be writing about. after that, I got more vague and just touched on some of the key part of each of those five sections. I take those two/three words and turn them into two/three bullet points. I also didn't want to be too specific with the later details, because I knew i'd be influenced by things as I wrote and would be inspired to fill that out.
any other details: this is kind of any afterthoughts you might have or details you need to keep i mind that aren't necessarily plot. you may have a lot of these, or you may have none. for me, this was where I wrote down what kinds of wings and other animalistic traits each of the characters had (yes, I wrote them down again). it's not strictly plot, but it does affect the rest of the story. this is also where I write anything I forgot to when going through the first time, and then i can draw a little arrow pointing towards where it fits in to the rest of the story or is relevant (which is part of why I like the writing aspect, but this is entirely achievable on a doc). another example from the au is me writing "domestic" to the side and pointing it back to my notes about the gnomish village, because while it wasn't essential to moving the plot forward, i wanted to touch on some aspects of domestic live with the ten of them while they were there.
just write things: now that you have all this planning done (good job, you!) you can get into the writing aspect. you've already decided your beginning and know where you want to go, so this is the part where you just starting putting words on the page. it can be pretty daunting to just look at a blank page, so if you'd like, start a paragraph in. skip the first paragraph and just start in the middle of something else--you can add back what's missing later. I personally note things that I want to come back to inside [brackets like this], and that can be words, sentences, entire paragraphs. i use the square ones specifically because I don't use them in my writing unlike (these parentheses), and then I can search the document for them all at once and see all the places I need to go back.
this is also where the "just in my head" and "make it up as I go" part comes into place. you have a pretty good idea of what you're doing, but you're going to have ideas as you write, so sometimes you just follow the flow of your brain and write things you could've never even planned for. and if you're interacting with others as you're going (like I'm talking about theories with you all while writing future chapters) then you may be inspired by them to add things to the story. originally, I wasn't going to even have any messages from Bronte or Oralie, but now because I saw what some of the people reading it were picking up on, I realized the potential there and added them in on a whim
and sometimes when you get stuck, the best way to get yourself out of that is to just add something random, which can spiral off and affect the rest of the story. I've said it before, but the dragons were not planned. I'd actually seen a piece of writing advice months ago that if you're stuck, change the weather. so I was stuck and made a sudden rainstorm, but then I needed an explanation as to how things got so wet so fast because I'd mentioned clear skies earlier. so in my attempt to explain it, dragons came to exist. writing is a process, so don't limit yourself to everything you've written. you'll be inspired along the way, so try to take it in stride.
one final note: as much as you plan, this is not going to be a definite map for how the story will go. maybe something makes sense as you're planning it out, but when you get to actually writing it makes no sense as all and you need to change things. that's fine! this kind of a plan is just to get you prepared and keep you afloat amongst this ocean of words trapped in your head that you want to transcribe. if something isn't working, change it! in my original written plan for the wings au they weren't going to run away for a few weeks, instead sneaking out for an hour or two at a time over those few weeks because they couldn't stand being underground anymore, until Linh was actually the first one to make contact with a creature and realize it didn't immediately want to kill her. but because she's not the narrator of this story, I couldn't write it the way i wanted, so I gave that to sophie in the tree.
this is just my approach to my more complicated stories! for some of the really quick ones, I just open a doc and start going. this kind of thinking keeps me organized so that I'm doing the idea the most justice. but just because it works for me doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. if it does work for you, great! but if there are parts you need to modify for yourself, you are more than encouraged to do so. personally, if I could only chose one part of this process to rely on, it would be the basic plot. that's the key to everything for me, but for others it might be something different.
I hope this helps with whatever it is you're writing!! I wish you luck and look forward to seeing whatever it is (should you chose to share it, no pressure)!! if you'd like more of my process on how I write it consistently and update on a schedule, I'd be more than happy to talk about that too!

Do you think that is the "real" Touya and Toga? It seems odd that Touya would give Toga Twice's blood and not use it in their next battle. It could also explain the wardrobe change since it isn't an exact copy of "Dabi". The heroes feel this is where they will end the battle and war against AFO and the League, it doesn't feel like that though. It feels like Horikoshi is setting up for the villains to hurt the heroes again until they come to the realization that they have to save the League.
So I had entertained the thought of them being clones when LAST chapter came out, but I don't think they are clones after this chapter.
I guess I'll use your ask to say my opinion on a lot of takes that came out this week that I do and don't agree with. Sorry for the ramble, you just provided an opportunity and I took it.
But before I do that I want to say that I don't quite know what Touya's change of outfit has to do with him being a clone. Twice duplicates clothes too, so even if it was a clone, that's still what the real Touya would be wearing. Here are three really good posts explaining Touya's outfit change, as it is more symbolic and representative of his inner thoughts toward himself than anything else: Post 1 Post 2 Post 3
Another reason I really don't think they are clones is because, while Twice's blood is a kind of secret tool they have, that doesn't mean they would outright use it. The thing is, I am pretty sure Dabi and Toga planned to use it against a certain person, the person who killed Twice. And that person was nowhere to be seen in this chapter or last chapter. Now that they are separated I think Hawks will encounter Toga and Dabi separately at different times, but I don't know honestly because Hawks's arc is a cluster fuck right now so, I'm just waiting and seeing how it goes. Twice's blood being used for this moment in this chapter, imo, would be a waste of its narrative use. But that's just my opinion. I am not writing off the possibility that they are clones, but to me it would feel way too jerky in the story. Like:
"OH! Look! The villains are here!"
"Oh look they're getting separated giving the heroes an advantage!"
"Oh, psych, it's just clones. None of this mattered anyway."
Personally, I hope that is seriously not the case. It's not out of the realm of possibilities, but it doesn't seem likely. Especially because of the state Shigaraki is in being revealed now, it feels kind of cheap to lighten that impact with making him a clone. BUT, again, not impossible. Just...I hope not.
Onto my little vent:
We are in the last war. But people have completely lost their cool and started screaming that it's too fast paced because this is where it's all going to end, right here. Like....guys. It's only February. Is it not like, possible, and LIKELY that Hori has a lot to cover within this next war arc and needed to start that actual battle aspect as soon as possible?
I never once thought that this fight that just now erupted was going to be the battle that decided everything. There are still THREE (3) individual battles that need to be resolved that we know off the top of our heads, and then we have several other things that need to be tied up. Aizawa and Kurogiri (no, I do not think we are done with that yet, I don't know why people think Hori just casually forgot about it when he literally never forgets about anything), Spinner's whole thing going on, and THEN the rest of the less-relevant villains (who are set up to have redemptive-ending arcs) all have to somehow find their way to the hero side to help save everyone, and then the LOV have to help put an end to AFO for THEIR redemptive moments. And not to mention, the entire rest of the class 1A kids have some shit to do also.
I mean....we are not at the end. I really wish people would chill. I can't find any posts anymore that aren't trying to rile people up into being upset about something. First, the pacing was too slow (which for me in the Deku-solo arc it WAS too slow and I stand by that), but now that it's finally upbeat and fast--it's the end of the world. Like??? What do y'all want omg??
We are in the last stretch but there is still so much to cover. So yes things are going to move quickly, as they should. I do not think the heroes are about to stop AFO and the LOV right here right now. Especially now that the LOV are separated--which idk about y'all but it's incredibly obvious to me that this is happening so each kid can face off with, fight, save, and team up their villain and then all reunite at the end. None of that stuff can happen with them all in the same spot. So no this doesn't feel like the fight where the heroes stop everyone.
Also--I still think Shigaraki is going to be the one to kill AFO. Not the heroes. Obviously Midoriya is going to help, probably they'll both ker-smash him at the same time, but I think it's gonna be Shigaraki ending AFO.
But anyway rant over. TL;DR: I don't think they are clones but I also know that bait and switches and jerky story telling is a part of BNHA at times. So it's not impossible, but I don't think they are.
