15 questions, 15 people
Thx for the tag @marauders-everything2
Starting a new post, it was too long. Slightly modified some questions.
1. Are you named after anyone?
Nope.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Don't remember, probably yesterday.
3. Do you want to have kids?
No thanks :)
4. What sports do/have you played?
My parents tried putting me in a bunch of shit when I was younger so I've done: swimming (for some years, still not great at it lol), surfing (quit after like 2 months), kizomba dance (hated it), another type of dance, contemporary dance (I liked it but the place closed), and we went skiing several times (which I love). If horseriding counts, I did that for a year. Currently not doing any.
5. Do you use sarcasm?
Yeah, sometimes. But I'm also quite direct and straightforward. Only "straight" I am.
6. What's the first thing you notice about someone?
Their fashion style. I love going up to strangers to compliment their outfits!
7. What's your eye colour?
Dark brown.
8. Movies with sad or happy endings?
I love movies with uncertain, ambiguous endings, in which the meaning is up for debate (like Inception).
9. What talents do you have?
Fast at absorbing information (sometimes), hypercreativity, great at bullshitting in academic tests/essays, good at making accents and voices, ummm... Can't remember more.
10. Where would you like to live?
New Zealand. It's pretty and one of the least problematic English-speaking countries (wanna live somewhere where English is the official language).
11. What are your hobbies?
Writing fanfiction and original stories (more like my passion), playing The Sims 4, drawing digitally (haven't in a while though), singing?
12. Do you have any pets?
My parents have 3 dogs (no breed) and koi fish. I want a cat :')
13. How tall are you?
165 cm or 5'5" for the Americans.
14. Favourite subject in school?
At college. Don't really like any of my current classes. Ig English C1.2 because we studied the Broadway play Hamilton. Although I haven't learned anything new.
15. What is your dream job?
Writer/author, would also like to do voice acting. Maybe a psychologist too, haven't decided if I'll take a second college degree.

heyo, i've been following your works for a long time now and i genuinely love your creations, you put so much effort into them - they're so brilliant and polished, it's remarkable and inspiring.
i edit often but i am more used to working with gifs of live action media — comics is a whole new territory for me but i would still like to get into it. could i please ask for your tips and recs on how i can get started?
it's alright if not! thank you for what you do and have a nice day. x
Aw, thank you very much! <3 I'll make a list of some different tips I think might be useful (but as with all things, experimenting is the best experience!), and also some links to different resources I often use for edits. Some of these you'll probably be familiar from gifs, but others will hopefully be new!
Gifmaking is a really good basis for making graphics; most of the same principals apply, particularly with colouring and playing with light with art! One of the best ways to make edits work together imo is having consistent colour themes to make all the edits look related and to work with one another, and those elements mirror in graphics and gifs.
The main thing that I think is different is the use of art. A lot of the time with art, you have to cut it out of panels by yourself, and sometimes colour something in yourself, if it's a sketch or something. You can use the subject selection tool in Photoshop/Photopea, but this really only works if there's a very clear background and subject; something more detailed or with multiple subjects doesn't work so well. I like to select using either the lasso tool or the polygonal tool, and then create a layer mask once my subject is fully selected! It's timeconsuming, but worth it to have those sharp and detailed pieces.
Using large pieces of art I think is really important for making sure edits are sharp. I generally try to only use stuff above 1000px, but generally anything below 700px is really difficult to use, especially if you're colouring in a sketch by hand.
Hand-colouring is another thing that's real difficult and time-consuming, but is worth it! Multiply and soft light are your best friends. Multiply for the blocks of colour, and soft light I like to use for adding a bit more depth for things like hair, or blush, etc. But play around with the different layer styles, you can get some interesting affects!
It's also useful to build up a little catelogue of styles or designs you like to incorporate into your work. A lot of graphic designers post their work to Pinterest, for example. Here's my own pinterest board of graphics I like!
And here are some of the resources/websites I use. Behance for general PSDs, fonts, textures. Search 'freebie' in the search bar to get those free resources! Dafont and freefonts.io are the two websites I use most to find fonts! Texturelabs is a great resource of free textures to use; white images generally go on multiply level, dark ones go on screen. Resource Boy has a bunch of free textures and pngs on there that you can use, I recently downloaded 70 different chain pngs from here. Designsyndrome is mostly paid stuff, but they do have a number of free pngs and effects that are cool to use. Comicartfans is a really handly website where a lot of people upload art from professionals. It works as a buying and selling site, but I use it often to find art by searching a character name in the searchbar. Unfortunately, not all of these are high quality, but generally you can use these to find larger resolutions by finding an artist's personal website.
As always, feel free to ask if you want something explained, or if you want to find out how I did a certain affect! I'll always be happy to share where I got stuff, most of this hobby functions via word of mouth :3

Hi! Could I please get a male romantic matchup?
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Straight
Age: 20
Appearance: I'm 164cm (5'4") and have an average build (not too curvy but definitely not straight up and down). I have green eyes that everyone thinks are brown and curly/frizzy dark brown hair that is down to the middle of my back
Personality: I'm pretty quiet in social settings but if someone talks to me first, I can keep a conversation going. I will occasionally go up to someone to initial a conversation but not very often. With people that I'm close with, I'm very open and sarcastic. And I make a lot of self-depreciating jokes (even though I have a high self worth). I set very high standards for myself but I also usually meet those standards. People say I have a good poker face/a scary glare but I've never seen it. People also say I look like someone who "knows what they're doing".
Likes/Hobbies: Reading, writing, anime, video games, and listening to music (stuff like Hamilton, Panic! at the Disco and Offspring). I want to be a fantasy writer and I am currently studying an English major at university.
Dislikes: Spiders (deathly afraid of those), being forgotten when I'm gone, and disappointing those who I care about.
What I look for in a partner: Someone honest and caring. Someone who treats me the way I deserve to be treated. I don't really have a preference on appearance; personality is far more important to me.
My favourite nation is Monstadt (with Sumeru a close second) and my favourite element is Anemo. Some of my favourite characters are Aether, Thoma, and Kaveh but I don't really have any characters I don't like/wouldn't want to be matched with.
Hopefully I've put a good amount of useful information! I hope you have a lovely day and that life is treating you kindly!
~Eren
indeed there's a bunch of useful info! hope you have a good day as well and that you like the matchup <3 (fun fact that i actually thought of matching you up with kaveh before even reading that last part, but here we go)
Tumblr media
Tighnari!
He likes that you don't have low standards for the things you set for yourself, he is the type of person who does the same and would support you in any way he can if he sees that during any time you are more down or doubtful.
I feel like the main problem would be where Tighnari lives, I don't think you'd be too excited to go into the rainforest with that much of a spider phobia, so all of your dates would be in the city.
At times when he is doing things that don't require a lot of attention or when he has become overwhelmed for some reason, I would ask if you could read him some of the new things you have written. He would also like to help you improve it and come up with fresh ideas, even if he wasn't that good with it.
Definitely the type that would treat his partner with respect, talking things out and honesty is one of the most important points as he sees things so that everything goes right and there are not too many problems.

hi!!! 🩷 i've been a lurker for a little while but i LOVEEE your writing and when i saw you were doing ship requests i just had to send in an ask. if ship requests are closed though, totally feel free to ignore this hehe
i'm a female (she/her), my charm point is probably my thicker eyebrows and my personal/dress style is androgynous but leaning a little towards masculine. my myers-briggs is ISTP, i'm a bit of a realist but i love making people laugh and i'm quite laidback. for weaknesses, i can be stubborn at times and get a little too defensive. but in terms of personal strengths, i'm crafty, loyal, the dad friend, and a tough egg to crack. i like living slow, so a few of my hobbies include art, lounging around, and visiting new places :)
my love language is probably physical touch first and words of affirmation second. i'm not picky about looks, but i'd like someone reliable, someone who would be there through thick and thin. they'd probably also be as laid back as i am...i wouldn't mind someone who puts me on a pedestal gomez addams style hehehe. i'm fine with any of the boys, but a few of my faves from bob include bull, toye, luz, and malarkey!
thank you so much for opening up ur requests and i cant wait to read what you write next!!! 🩷🩷🩷
AAAAAA thank you so much for the kind words anon!! I’m sorry this took so long lmao 😅 Thank you for requesting and hope you're having a great day!!
I ship you with…
George Luz! What would we do without George Luz!
Tumblr media
A song from my liked songs that reminds me of y’all - A Kind of Magic by Queen
How you met
Ok so I picture you being an NCO in Luz’s platoon
Very much have the respect of your men and they would follow you off a cliff if that’s where you were going
In Taccoa with Luz first saw you he was just
In absolute awe
The way you handled Sobel’s bullshit while keeping up the morale of your men just… He was in love with you from day 1 but he never acknowledges it, he just thinks he really admires you
Also he loved having someone else to joke with and banter, he’d never admit it but in places like Eindhoven and Bastogne Luz felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, like, he wasn’t the only one trying to make the others laugh to help them through it
So y’all get to the Eagle’s Nest and you and George are sharing a bottle of wine on a couch just vibing and having a lovely time
And then quietly Luz asks “what do you think you’ll do when we get home?”
Then you realize that you and George aren’t gonna be together every day forever
“I’m honestly not sure George, what about you?”
“Well I’m probably gonna go back to Rhode Island, but I’d love to bring a certain someone back with me…”
“...you mean that?”
“Of course I do.”
This whole time your voices are getting quieter and y’all are leaning closer to each other until finally your lips touch and holy moly both of y’all are on tOP OF THE WORLD
How he knew he loves you
Ok so I know he said he’s in love with you from day 1 but goofy boy Has No Idea
Sure he realizes he has a crush on you at the Eagle’s Nest but he still has a ways to go lol
So you two are in your apartment on a lazy saturday just relaxing and doing your own things
You’re doing some drawing on the couch and you don’t see Luz just PLOP and glue himself to you
The two of you start laughing and you try (not really) to push him off but you both wind up laying on the couch him spooning you close and tight and you both just feel so happy and safe
And Luz just realizes… this is where he wants to be
Not necessarily on the couch (even though y’all’s couch is mega comfy) but just goofing around with you and snuggling you and talking about everything under the sun
So he turns you around in his arms and looks into your eyes and
“You’re my best friend, I’m in love with you”
And in that moment everything is just Perfect
A conflict and how y’all resolve it
So both of y’all have had hard times at work recently
Nothing too awful, just a bunch of little things and they’ve been piling up for both of y’all
So Luz just got home and went to the kitchen to get you and him a couple glasses of water
And you just hear a glass break followed by a “shit!”
You go into the kitchen and see George trying to sweep up all the glass with a hand broom and dust pan
You crouch down to help him but inadvertently let an aggravated sigh slip past your lips
“I didn’t do this on purpose y’know…” George mutters to you
“I never said you did?”
The two of you start bickering and it grows into something that has you both yelling at each other over you don’t even know what
You go to grumpily put the broken glass in the trash but accidentally get a small cut on your hand in the process
Of course now it’s your turn to shout “shit!” and you make your way over to the sink
George just grows quiet and follows you
He gently takes your hand away from the cut and wordlessly starts cleaning and bandaging the cut for you
“I’m really sorry about all that, work has just been shit this week, every day it feels like there’s something new going on,” his voice is almost a whisper, but you can still detect the sadness and regret
“I’m sorry too… work hasn’t been great for me either…”
You both just quietly vent what’s been going on at your jobs and it ends with Luz engulfing you in one of his trademark Hugs
“I love you so much doll,” he says before placing a gentle kiss on your forehead
The two of you spend the rest of the night just holding each other and watching a funny movie in peace
Your Happily Ever After
Y’all are just the epitome of being with your best friend
You’re always doing things together and it becomes so silly and SO CUTE
It could be anything from being on a fancy dinner date and starting a food fight to playing pranks on each other at home
Like even grocery shopping y’all will just… turn it into this hilarious, wholesome chaos that only comes from being soulmates with someone on your wavelength
Also you two ALWAYS go out together, like, all your friends know they’re getting both of you or neither of you and it’s adorable
Like, everything y’all do with each other is just so easy (heheheheh)
Even when you have the worst days you’re able to fall into each other’s arms and it’s just a breath of fresh air
A silly headcanon about your relationship
Ok so
Y’all talk on the phone to your Easy Boys all the time
But on more than one occasion they’ve mixed up y’all’s voices
Like you’ll pick up the phone and Malarkey will just “Hey George!” without missing a beat
So now y’all have made it into a game
Whenever one of you picks up the phone and it’s an old Easy Buddy you both purposefully try to imitate each other and both of you just get an absolute kick out of it
Perconte has been the only one so far to see through it but everyone else is totally clueless
It backfired a little when you were on the phone and Guarnere went “so how’s engagement ring shopping going?” but that’s another topic for another day
Aaaaa I hope you like it Anon!! Please don't be afraid to message me telling me you saw this lol, I know the feeling of submitting an anon ask and then forgetting about it 🤣 Thank you again for requesting love!! ✨

tell us about abt old people chengqing!! :)
anon I am SO SORRY I saw this ask millennia ago and it was late so I was like ah! I'll reply tomorrow AND THEN I DIDN'T
anyway with old people chengqing I imagine a modern au they meet when they're already old. I think I should probably consider whether they'd have their spouses or grandchildren in this one but alas: I can't be arsed. so I'll just say that they meet in something like... hm. maybe it's a library or a culture center. maybe they live in the same neighbourhood and meet during a meeting about, idk, whether to build or not to build a new playground. who knows.
anyway, the thing is: they're similar. wq has never stopped saying what's on her mind, if anything, age has only made her care less about what people might say, because look. she's old. she's a retired doctor. can you prove she didn't assist your mother birthing you? you can't. are you gonna argue with someone who helped haul your ass into this world? no. sit down and shut up AND we're putting the money into the heating fund, flower beds can wait. (her speciality was cardiology and she didn't have That much experience with midwifery, but do people need to know that? also no.)
meanwhile jc learned to give less of a fuck what people, for example wei wuxians*, think about him, and this is also thanks to his age because you're gonna tell an old fart what to do? (at some point wwx told him that "old fart" does not suit such a fancy schmancy man as him. look at him. he's dressed way too neatly for a "fart". venerable flatus, perhaps. you're appropriating old fartery, a-cheng.) he often comes ready to Argue for his case, but then it turns out that either his suggestions are quite reasonable and everyone agrees, OR that wq has already given the people assembled a single Look and they suddenly found it in themselves to agree with her, oh, wholeheartedly.
*although whether wwx is a person or a nuisance sent to this green bitch of an earth specifically to torment jc, well that's a separate argument
so. they are being Shipped.
obviously -- one might say -- being old and bitchy at the same time and place does not mean you would make a good couple. tell that to the youths, though. you try and tell them. you accidentally bark at the kids to quiet down or watch out for their little sibling roughly at the same time and suddenly everyone's like ooh, isn't that cute! they catch you bitching about people who value looks over practicality and want the balconies to be renovated in a way that'll need further renovation in five years, utter idiocy, ONCE, and suddenly everyone's giggling, throwing you Looks, and asking if you've seen the flyers for dancing nights for the elderly.
of course you've seen them! you helped organise the whole thing. s o m e people need that, for interaction or something, and it needs to be done well, simple as that. no, they can't go. they've been there last month, the snacks were alright But this month they cannot. she has a book signing and he goes fishing with a-ling's youngest, you know how it is. maybe you kids should try other hobbies too, since you clearly have nothing else to do!
(the kids in question are like. 40-50.)
but. while it's annoying and bothersome, it's not like wq and jc actually hate each other. in fact, yeah, they like each other quite a lot, at least as much as you can like someone while like... coexisting. but this whole Thing with people making jokes like they were a bunch of schoolkids and not Old People does actually make them entertain, even just in their heads, the possibility of Getting To Know Each Other Better.
and while jc is, actually, interested -- she's a very intelligent, responsible woman, and physically she's quite excellent too -- he does get a bit shy in matters like these, so he just... doesn't really plan on doing anything, since he's quite pleased with how they are already. wq, however, does not like not knowing where she stands, so one day she just comes up to him -- when they're alone, mind you, she doesn't want to make a show for everyone out of this -- and goes, well, would you be interested in taking me dancing? and he. is glad he's put the book away, because his fingers twitch and he'd surely tear the paper. no, he says, i can organize this shit, but i don't like dancing at all. (there's a pause.) but if you were interested in going somewhere together, or getting something to eat...
(she is. and they go, like, right away, because a new cafe opened nearby and she wanted to try it, and then they go for a walk in the park and she tells him about her family, and he tells her about his, and they find another thing they have in common -- being surrounded by reckless fools, and also children -- and by the time a natural pause in their conversation arrives, one that happens because many topics have been exhausted, it's already dinner time, so now they go to a place jc likes... and by the time wgxn notice them it's too late to run away because they're in the middle of the soup, but jc suffers only a little because, see, the soup is good and so is this date, so really,)

After a year of no interest I've started feeling a craving to do cross-stitch again.
so eventually this:
Tumblr media
will become this:
Tumblr media
(with the guidance of this:)
Tumblr media
(The finished section is part of the big owl's belly and tail.)
I'm continuing to feel like my brain is overstuffed on BL shows, and I can't handle watching anything new. I will probably at least watch The Eclipse final episode this friday, but otherwise I will likely take a break from continuing anything or starting anything new. I did finish my rewatch of Cherry Blossoms After Winter, which was once again charming and relaxing. And seeing gifs has been making me crave Utsukushii Kare, so I may rewatch that one too.
It's been about four months since I started watching BL, so that's about par for the course in terms of how long my hyperfixations last. I do want to keep watching and writing about shows, but it's not likely to be at the same pace or intensity that I have been. I regularly manage to keep interests and hobbies for decades, I just go through cycles of intensity with them. (e.g. getting back into cross stitch after a year.)
Also, I think I watched so much so quickly, and thought about it so much that my brain really did get full, and it's starting to go on strike. The idea of getting to know new characters and worlds feels exhausting instead of exciting. And I want watching BL shows to continue to be fun, so I'm not going to push it.
But all you tumblr folks are so lovely and thoughtful, so that's a big motivation to keep returning to BL.
On the good side of my changeable brain, over past few days I've finally been able to get myself to do a bunch of housekeeping tasks I've been putting off forever, and it makes such a difference in my living space. Still a long way to go, but it feels doable instead of overwhelming now.
Although I'm reminded that any time things start to change I get discombobulated and disoriented for a while. Even (especially?) when it's good changes. Who am I? Where am I? What's the meaning of life? But it happens every time, so I know now that if I just keep moving my brain will settle down.

New Look
Aizawa x OC Smut (filth)
Small plot because for some reason I am unable to write smut without a little background. Biggest lie I told myself...
Warning: Sexual Content, Rough, Sweet, Dirty Talking Sex
Ivy and Aizawa must come to terms with secrets, feelings, and how to go on teaching like nothing ever happened.
*********************************************************************
Part 1: Glitter Boy and The Ugly Witch
It all started with a small prank. Teaching a bunch of future pro heroes science was difficult. They never seemed to be interested in my lessons, only about the hell that would be reigned down upon them by Aizawa during his class periods with them. I learned the keep their attention by arranging small pranks on my favorite, sleepy coworker. For the last few weeks, I had hid glitter bombs in Aizawa's desk. Three of them that would go off at the perfect moment. I told the class if they all passed their midterm assignments, then I would shower Mr. Aizawa with glitter in the middle of his lecture. Their grades were all above passing. I had never been so proud and so nervous in my life. I was really hoping for one failing grade so that I could back out before I was in too deep. I am a woman of my word though.
I peeked in Aizawa's window and flipped a small switch and without failure, all of the glitter bombs popped in unison. He did not say anything. The class burst into laughter and his eyes flashed at the doorway where he caught me red handed. I bolted to my office and immediately began planning my apology.
The day dragged on as I taught the next two classes. One of my students asked why I looked sickly, like I had seen a ghost. I nonchalantly admitted that if Mr. Aizawa catches me today, I would be a ghost! Thankfully the purple haired kid did not seem to have the energy to probe me for more information. Five o'clock came sooner today than any other day. It was time to face the music. Aizawa and I always had a unique way of speaking to each other. Small jokes at one anothers expence, followed by "I am only kidding" and visiously looking away from each other.
I walked outside and put on my lab coat that I always wore over my dress clothes. I was always afraid that my clothes were too tight or not professional enough so I bypassed the dresscode by wearing a lab coat nearly all the time. I am not sure really anyone knew what I looked like underneath except Nemuri. Midnight was my best friend and had seen me in everyway, unfortunately. She always laughed when we would go out in our group of friends and I would still be in this damn coat. Rain or shine. Hot or cold. I was covered neck, to wrist, to ankle.
"You fucking bitch! I need them to focus! They are literally training for their lives!" Aizawa pushed passed Mic and made a bee-line for me. I hid between Nemuri and the tree they were surrounding.
"I am sorry! It was to motivate them to pass my exam!" I winced and giggled. "They passed." I shrugged.
"I don't know if your quirk has something to do with childish bullshit or maybe you're just one of those quirkless assholes with a hobby, but it does not mean you have to look and act like a big, ugly, witch!" Aizawa looked like he immediately regretted his words, but I did not care. That hurt.
"I..I'm sorry." I felt like I was going to puke.
"Wait... do you not have a quirk?" Mic chimed in. Everyone ignored him.
*********************************************************************
Part 2: Who Let the Girls Out?
I snuck off to my apartment quickly. An hour or so later, Midnight knocked on my door. My face had been burried in my pillow, soaked with tears. I felt like a teenager. Did he really see me as big and ugly? I could not lie to myself about it, I had the biggest crush on Aizawa since we met. Every social gathering left the two of us together as wall flowers and we joked around and talked about our lives and it became a beautiful friendship. Until I ruined it..
"Ivy girl, you have to get up.. he did not mean it like that!" Midnight put a loving hand on my shoulder.
"I am not sure why it hurt.." I tried not to look at her. I was still red from tears.
"Because you like him." She said in a sing songy way.
"I do not! We are just friends." I almost shouted at her, but my voice cracked at the lie.
"You have to get up, we are having All Might's birthday party at Siripico's Bar and you know what that meansssss!" She held a finger under my chin that forced me to look up at her.
"It means I have to go and face Aizawa like the fat, ugly, witch I am?" I smirked and wiped my face from the tears. "I am going to sit this out, take Toshinori my gift please." I flopped back into the bed.
"No, do not make me knock you out and dress you up the hard way." Midnight tugged at her sleeve with a devilish grin.
My brown eyes flashed a matte gold color and my hair fell down from my messy bun. I smirked as I summoned my closet doors open so hard the room shook.
"God, I love it when you use magic!" She giggled and rummaged through my closet. Flinging dresses out left and right.
"Oh honey, none of this will work. You have to have on a dress that goes with heels!" She pulled out my old hero costume and flung it on the bed. "What about this?" She gave me an evil smile.
"You know good and well, I am never going to wear that again. My pro days are over, that is why I teach science." I held the weathered fabric in my hand. My touch made it flow back to a dark black again.
No one knew but Midnight and Nezu. No one was allowed to know about "Hecate: The Witch Hero." She disappeared about the same time Ivy moved to Osaka City to teach young heroes science...harmless science. I remembered how I looked though. Much like Midnight. Tall and curvy, my dark wine colored hair, long and wild with curles and narcisus flowers accentuated my black dress that resembled an Greecian robe. Long slits up from the ankle to my hips on each side. 'Cleavage and legs for days' is what Nemuri called it when I showed her pictures.
"No one will know if you keep your normal face on." She waved her hand in front of my face. I took a breath and changed my eye color back to brown and my hair seemed to not be so wild anymore. "Plus, you are not wearing your moon horn head piece and eye makeup. No one will know... come on!! This is sexy as hell."
I began to ponder the idea and grabbed my lab coat like a security blanket. She snatched it from me.
"If you even think about wearing this thing, I will knock you out and tape you to the flag pole...naked..." She licked her lips.
"You pervert. I love you, you silly goose. Fine.." I admitted defeat.
We got dressed together at her apartment. She had to approve my makeup and lend me a pair of heels. We took goofy pictures like always. One of them was a little riske'. Midnight jokingly put her hand around my throat while we were in our bras and panties. Our tongues were sticking out as our faces nearly touched.
"You better delete that one!" I grabbed for the phone. Too late.
"Nemuri!! Tell me you did not send that to Hizashi... please.. tell me you did not!" I was so embarrassed but the damage was already done. We finished getting ready and ordered a ride to take us to the bar.
***********************************************************************
Part 3: Look at This Photograph
"Holy shit!" Mic blushed at the photo and immediately texted back. "Yes Ma'ams!" to Midnight's picture. They had a friends with benefits thing going on that know one is supposed to know about, but everyone knows about it.
"What?" Aizawa spat in the sink and whiped the toothpaste foam from his lips.
"Don't mind me, looking to score twice tonight." Mic slid the phone to Aizawa and his face turned red. Mostly from anger.
"Like Ivy would even dream of you touching her." He coughed and rolled his eyes. Closing the bathroom door to breath and prevent his semi from becoming more than that.
Aizawa and Mic had a long conversation while they waited for time to get ready for the party. Mic explained that calling a woman "fat and ugly" even as a joke or retaliation is bad. Aizawa scoffed and while he knew Mic was right about that, he did not want to admit fault. Eventually they dropped the conversation when Mic mentioned to Aizawa that while no one had really seen my body not covered by work clothes and a lab coat, I had a pretty face and a great personality and that is all the mattered. Aizawa added in how intelligent I was and then began talking about training with his class.
"I just find it funny that you think Ivy would not jump on this dick if I gave her the option." Mic prodded as they were walking out the door. Aizawa clenched the keys in his hand to avoid feeling the rage that boiled in his bloodstream. "Could you imagine what her face looks like when she is going down... do you think she keeps her glasses on? Do you think her tits are that big out side of the pic.." Aizawa pushed Mic into the hallway wall.
"Shut up. Gentleman's agreement like old times? Keep your hands and eyes off of Ivy. No questions asked." Aizawa was so harsh with those words.
"See.. I knew you liked her." Mic fixed his jacket and they got in the car without another word.
Mic sent a text to Nemuri. "Finally he admits it." She responded with a thumbs up emoji.
**********************************************************************
Party 4: Lights Out, Drinks Up
I stepped out of the Uber and Nemuri pulled me in for a picture outside the bar's neon signage. We both looked hot. I felt naked without my coat, but it was time to feel confident after being knocked down to nothing this afternoon. We ordered a drink and mingled. All Might was huge and muscular like normal, his yellow suit traded out for a crisp plum color one with a black tie and belt. His shoes were so shiny they looked like wet paint. He hugged us so tight. He was so wholesome. Fawning over how beautiful I looked, he even whispered in my ear that confidence looked so beautiful on me. He also whispered something about beating the boys off of me with a stick if I needed. He was so kind. I adored that man for more than his hero work.
"This drink is strong, but I need another." I shouted to Midnight over the music but she was too busy making googoo eyes at Mic.
I flagged the bartender down, but he had already handed me a drink. A flaming orange concoction. He pointed to man at he end of the bar and winked. I blew out the fire and took the shot before turning around. My eyes grew wide like saucers when I saw the brooding Endeavor sitting down on a stool that looked way to small to hold him. His suit was black and his shirt a crisp white. His tie was one of those fancy paisley patterns with a sterling silver clip. I smiled and decided I should probably say thank you for the drink. I walked over and reheared a small talk starter in my head.
"Thank you, Endeavor." I was going to leave it at that.
He placed his hand on the counter and bartender ran 4 more flaming shots in front of us.
"You're not going to make me drink alone, huh? It's Enji outside of work by the way." He pushed a shot to me.
"I guess one more won't hurt... Enji.." I smiled.
I took the shot down. I didnt even blow out the flame that time.
"So... I have a question. Is there any particular reason you decided to dress like a fucking beauty queen tonight?" He took two shots back to back and passed me the last one.
Oh my god, was he hitting on me? Ew.. I teach one of his kids. My brain was not really thinking clearly anymore. The alcohol bubbling in my veins, my cheeks felt pink. I had to be careful or else I may forget to keep my quirk in check. I nonchalantly summoned the shot glass to my hand only a few inches so he would not notice.
"A shy girl, huh? No reason to be shy when you look like that. Although, I never really thought I would see that outfit out in the wild again. Hecate." He grabbed my hand firmly.
"What did you call me?" I giggled. He was bluffing. He did not really know.
"Do not play dumb with me.. You do not need to hide all that power from someone like me. I know all too well what it is like to have so much power and rarely get to use my full potential." He had pulled me close. Tucked my long curly hair behind my ear.
I was starting to panic now. I needed another drink. My mouth was dry. I pulled away but he pulled me back harder. My face smushed into his chest. He swayed to the music and kept his voice down low so I could hear him without anyone eavsdropping.
"I am just saying, imagine the legacy you and I could leave behind if you came out into the hero world. Not to mention, having this sweet ass and legs to look at on those lonely stake outs at night might ease the long hours... You could ease this long.." He stepped back a moment to see what had caught his attention. His foot suddenly slipped up into the air and he came crashing down to his ass.
I made my get away. I could not see what happened until the strobe lights flased on a silver grey cloth slinking away behind the bar and into Aizawa's suit pocket. My eyes trailed up to the man who was behind the prank.
When I made eye contact with him, he gave me a half smile. I had almost forgotten how badly he had hurt my feelings earlier. I turned around in embarrassment and unfortunately ran into a frustrated looking Endeavor.
"So you are just going to knock me off my feet and run away? Lucky for you, I like a challenge." He pulled me close to his chest again.
My eyes flashed back to Aizawa who was looking out of the corner of his eyes at us while he chatted with Vlad King. He looked angry. Did I really make him that angry? Maybe I should enjoy myself. Get a little flirty. Even if its with someone as disgusting as Endeavor.
"So, I do not want to disappoint you, but I am not who you think I am. I am just a science teacher." I shrugged.
"I am not dumb, Hecate. I have known since the moment I saw your face. Now that you're wearing your old dress, I confirmed it. What I cannot figure out is... why you are hiding? Who are you hiding from?" His face was so close to mine.
"I am not saying you are dumb, I am saying that..." A strong hand grabbed my shoulder. A forceful but careful pull, pulled me away from the firey man.
"We need to talk." Aizawa did not even bother to look at the angered Endeavor.
********************************************************************
Part 5: Time to Get Shit Faced.
Endeavor pulled me back to him and at that moment I ducked and side stepped to give space between us. Mic walked by with a tray of cosmo shooters and I grabbed two off and downed them. Hoping this would all go away when I opened my eyes. I was wrong, of course.
"Eraserhead, I did not peg you for the rude type. Ivy and I were just talking about how much we have in common." He winked at me.
"We don't have anything in common." I chimed in and it seemed like no one listened.
"Oh really, since when did she become a pretentious, fireball, asshole?" Aizawa flashed his eyes at Endeavor, watching the flames die down.
"To be fair you called me an asshole this morning." At this point, I swayed off without them noticing. I made my way to the bathroom as the alcohol started to really fuck with my senses. I have not drank this much in front of anyone but Midnight.
I texted Nemuri to come save me and decided to try to sober up some in the comfort of the bathroom stall. This felt gross.
Aizawa and Endeavor spent the next five minutes arguing before Aizawa noticed I was gone. They both blamed each other for my disappearance and Aizawa made a beeline for the hallway that led to the bathrooms and back door patio. I decided to stop hiding in the bathroom when I heard moaning in the stall beside me. That was my cue to leave. I needed fresh air. I opened the patio door and no one was there in my line of sight. I shut the door and sat in the chairs by the wall.
"Fuck.." I sighed.
"You wanna tell me what that was about?" Aizawa flicked a half smoked cigarette across the lot.
"Fuck!" I jumped up and immediately felt lightheaded. I sat down.
"I honestly have not a fucking clue." I covered my face and he down beside me.
"You're hanging out with Endeavor, that is...interesting." He lit another cigarette.
"Give me that...please" I pulled it from his fingers but it felt like they lingered on my hand for more than a normal amount of time.
I took a puff, I had not had a cigarette in forever. The last time was when Nemuri talked me into trying one of these special rainbow cigarettes that tasted like peppermint. I felt a rush as the nicotine flooded my system.
"I am not hanging out with him, he bought me a few drinks, made a pass at me which I declined, several times. He knows my secret..." I passed the cigarette back to Aizawa.
"Oh, okay. So you're not into...you're not interested in him?" He choked out. Pretending it was the cigarette making him choke.
"Of course not, he is gross. Not my type." I took the cigarette and took a long drag.
"Ha...and what is your type?" Aizawa raised an eyebrow.
We made eye contact for a moment and I could not make myself speak. I could not come clean. One part of me wanted to tell him that he was my type and the other part of me wanted to give a generic answer. Before I could open my mouth, the door crashed open and Endeavor and a waitress were entangled, making out loudly. He stopped when he saw me.
"Yeah, that is right. This could have been you. I could have fucked you stupid, Hecate." Endeavor turned back to the waitress who was stil gasping for air from the lip locking.
It's amazing how fast you sober up when you get hit with a blow of anxiety the size of a mountain. I bolted around the corner. Making it to the corner and trying to catch a taxi. I finally caught one and as I was about to shut the door, Aizawa slid in beside me. He handed a 50 to the driver and muttered an address.
"We need to talk." He looked at me harshly. I saw his eyes flash red and I pinched his thigh. He blinked before he had the chance to use his quirk on me.
"Not here." Thankfully he did not push.
We arrived at a small loft near UA. This was not my apartment... I guess it was his. He tipped the driver and we walked to the door. He grasped my hand and nearly dragged me inside.
"You do like him, why would you lie about that? You have a pet name? Why him? Why a fucking asshole like him? You are so smart and he's.." He looked at me so angry. His eyes flashed at me. His hair stood on end..
I let it happen. He watched as my skin tone grew paler and slightly glowing. My eyes turned from brown to gold and copper colored. My curls seemed to look bolder and less tamed. Large ringlets of wine colored locks. My lips turned from soft pink to the color of sugar plums in winter.
"What.." He relaxed his gaze. I kept my form.
"This is me.. the fat, ugly witch." A tear fell down my cheek. "When I was 20, a fairly young pro. I was Hecate. My quirk is witchcraft." I sighed again. "Endeavor figured it out and was trying to court me for breeding purposes. I dislike him. I promise."
Aizawa still did not say a work. He just looked at me. In a way he never really had before. There was so much awkward silence in the room, you could hear the neighbors across the street snoring.
"You're.." He took a long pause again.
"I am me, this is just an old part of me that I wanted to keep away from everyone. I am done being a pro.." I was teary eyed. Worried that he would ask why I hid this. Why I left a career I worked so hard to get..
"I just don't understand. How could I have been so blind not to see that..you're Hecate?" He walked towards me. Leaving little space between me and him. I backed up towards the door. My back nearly touching it.
"I am so...sorry." He whispered.
"For what?"
"For hurting your feelings... for calling you are quirkless normie.. for being awful tonight while you were just trying to have a good time." His hand rested on my shoulder. "Why would you hide this from us? No one would have cared." He chuckled.
"You never heard the story of how Hecate disappeared? My shame? You would not have cared about my failure as a hero? How I was tricked into killing someone...I am a witch by birth and by nature of my quirk. I swore to never do harm and I let a man....gain control of my body and use it for evil. I saw everything he did to my body and made my body do..I should have been put down like a rabid dog, Shouta." I was crying the type of way that makes you gasp for air. Tears streaming down my cheeks and down my neck.
"Ivy... I didn't..I had no idea. I promise. Even if I did, I would have never judged you for something that you did not do of your own volition." He wiped the tears from my eyes and held my face in his palms. "Then Endeavor kept talking about how our spawn would be powerful beings and it made me want to vomit, but I spent time with him to make you jealous and then.." His lips slowly pressed to mine.
He pulled away from me and tooks a few steps back.
"I am so sorry...I should have asked, but why did you want to make me jealous? You know what, it doesn't matter. Thank you for being honest with me. Want to go back to the party?" He was shaking his head in disbelief.
I felt my heart burst in my chest. How could he just kiss me and ask if I want to go to a party?! I wanted to be here. I needed some kind of explanation to his actions! I was hurt all over again. Maybe he just wanted to shut me up. Did it not matter at all that I wanted to make him jealous. Fuck this night.
"I...well, should we talk about what just happened?" I needed answers.
"Oh this?" Aizawa stepped forward as my back touched the door. He tilted my chin up and kissed me again. His fingers lightly moving my hair behind my ear and his palm cupping my jaw to hold me in place. He released after about a minute.
"Yes.. that." I felt so dizzy. Was I still drunk? Maybe a litte.
He locked the door and took my hand, pulling me on top of him on the couch. His hands moved around my waist as our lips connected again. Deeper this time. His tongue grazing my bottom lip after a soft bite. I whimpered into the kiss which triggered a low moan from him. I could feel his cock hard under his pants. If I could see myself, I am sure I was tomato red with anxiety.
*********************************************************************
Chapter 6: Drunk In Love
"We should really go back to the party...don't you think?" Aizawa had his hand in my hair, a hard grip. Pulling me only an inch back from his lips.
I pouted.. he was right though. He pulled his phone from his pocket and showed me 37 missed texts from Hizashi. I slowly climbed off of his lap and my legs felt like they weighed 500 pounds. I was shivering at the loss of warmth between us.
"I have questions.." I whispered as he smirked and wiped my lipstick from his mouth. I blushed thinking I should probably touch myself up before we head back.
"I have answers." His voice fell lower in tone.
"I still have no idea what is going on in your head...was this just a one time.. tipsy..thing?" I walked closer to the door.
Aizawa stopped and narrowed his eyes at me. I could not tell if he was annoyed, amused, frustrated, or confused. I was confused. One minute his tongue is down my throat and the next he is rushing us back to a party. He walked towards me and rubbed my small lipstick smear from my chin. Pressing me back to the door. He kissed me softly. Trailing them down my neck.
"Oh fuck!" I cried out as his teeth bit into my tender skin. Right above my color bone. He lingered and pulled off of me.
"We go back, be polite friends, give our gifts, have a drink or two. I want to dance with you in the dim light. Let me feel like I have given you a proper date and I promise you, when we get back to my apartment, I will leave no room for doubt in your beautiful brain. I will kiss you.." he learned in to my ear to whisper "I will have you screaming to whatever gods you believe in all night." He stood back up and smiled at me. It was an innocent and loving smile.
The uber drive back to the bar was short, thank god. He held my hand to guide me out of the car and we went back inside through the patio. Hizashi was still drunk. He grabbed me and told me how pretty I was. Aizawa sighed in annoyance. Then Hizashi screamed for Nemuri, she cam running from the back, drinks in hand.
"Nemuri!! Look! They did it!!" He pointed to my neck.
My face was on fire. I did not realize the bite had left a mark. Aizawa snaked a hand around my waist and pulled me to him, hard enough to make me place a hand on his chest for balance.
"Would you shut up and let the kids have their fun, we have been waiting for this to happen for months." Nemuri handed me a glass and asked me to dance with her.
I looked at Aizawa who just nodded for me to go off and enjoy myself.
Unknown to me, Hizashi begged him for details and Aizawa did not oblidge. He left is very vague. Only telling him that he could not fight his feelings anymore and that we kissed and came back to the party. Hizashi whined at the last of graphic detail, but eventually let the topic go.
Meanwhile, Nemuri and I were dancing and grinding on each other. Laughing and taking shots. I tried to pace myself, I did not want to be too drunk to miss out on the end of the "date." A broad hand cut in between us and pulled me close to him, I halfheartedly expected it to be Aizawa, but it was Enji. I pulled back quickly in disgust. He laughed and reached for my wrist again only to fall to his ass. My eyes flashed the gold and copper color that he had only hoped to see. I bound him to the floor with my magic. The music stopped and everyone back up as the giant man struggled to get up. I snapped my fingers and released him. There were gasps from all over the crowd. People mumbled, wondering what happeded, while the people closest to me could see that it was my own power that caused the scene.
"Hecate, I have to give it to you. I almost believed you for a minute. But, now your whole secret is out. Was it worth it? Doing this show all for me?" Enji was enraged and cocky.
"That was not for you... that was for him." I pointed to Aizawa, who had made his way to my side when he saw Endeavor fall to the ground.
"How cute...enjoy mediocrate.." Enji made his way back to the bar. Thankfully everyone had the attention span of a goldfish and went back to drinking and dancing.
"I think this was the best date I have ever been on." Aizawa giggled and pulled me close to him as a slower song played.
**********************************************************************
Chapter 7: Oh My God
It was over, we made it back to his apartment. Suddenly, I felt nervous again. Like a virgin being lured to into a sacrifice. I felt danger and excitement, passion and longing, but more importantly... I felt safe with him. I felt like he was testing me to see if I would try to initiate. I was far too nervous for that. I sat on the couch and waited for him to come back from the restroom. My blood ran cold when I heard the faucet turn off from him washing his hands. I do not even know how to act sexy.
"So, you have a pretty impressive music collection here.." I could have punched myself for trying to break the ice.
"So, can I see? Show me something magical?" He brough two glasses of red wine to the living room area.
As he passed a glass to me, I sipped the sweet and bitter liquid. Trying to fight off the hangover and keep a small buzz for confidence. I blushed at the question, I had no idea what I could impress him with. At this point in our lives, I feel that we have seen it all.
"Tell me what you would like and I will try to make it happen?" It was more of a question for him that a command.
"I want to see...what you desire." He sat back on the couch. His legs were spread and his rested his wine glass on knee. His other hand resting behind his head comfortably.
It took me about a minute of thinking. I put on one of his records and swayed slowly to the music. Sipping my glass of wine in between thoughts of what to do. Suddenly, I had the best idea. I shot down the rest of the wine and told him to close his eyes and count to three.
"One...Two...Three..." When he opened his eyes, I stood before him in a matching bra and panty set, black wiring, flesh toned transulent fabric that had emerald green stitching in the patters of webs and tentacles like something out of a Vintinour magazine. It was sexy, it was sinful, it made him audibly moan a low "Oh my god.."
"Now...what is that you desire?" I bit my lip and smirked like a brat.
"I would love for you to come sit in my lap....but I desire for you get on your knees right here..." He pointed to the floor between his legs. "Obviously, only if we are sharing that desire."
Aizawa, king of consent. It make me feel like I would soak through my magic-made lingerie. I took a few steps to him before dropping to my hands and knees and crawling up to his knees. He stood up and unbuttoned and I eagerly pulled them down with his underwear and gently pushed him back on the couch before taking his length into my mouth. The good thing about a little foreplay is that by the time you get to this part, there is no need for warming him up. He was stiff and hard, twitching at the cool air, pre-cum dripping from it's head. I was enjoying myself so much I did not realize I had been sucking for nearly 10 minutes, changing things around, fast and slow, circling my tongue around it and making sure to lick his balls while I stroked him with my hand. His moans made me want to beg him to fuck me, but I needed to make him feel like he was the only man in the world. I wanted to please him, erase the doubts from the Endeavor situation.
"I would not be a good man if I let you do all of the work, now would I? He gripped my hair in his fist and pulled me away from his cock. I was whining like a brat. He laughed as he through me on my back, I hit the carpet with a thud and a pout.
Now this was knew to me... I did not come down to the floor and spread my legs, he hooked his strong arms around my thighs and curled me my pussy up to his face. I was basically upside down. My shoulder blades on the floor as the man's tongue violated my pussy in the best way imaginable. I was crying, swearing, shouting out to the gods. I was so close I could not breath. He stopped and slid a hand up my back, putting me in his lap and my face to his.
His kisses tasted salty and sweet. I desperately grinded on his cock. Soaking it with my arousal, but never pushing it inside without permission. His kisses went down my throat as his hands shredded the lingerie way too easily. My whole body was exposed to him and I got a little nervous. No time to stay nervous when the man of your dreams has his mouth on your breasts and two fingers sunk inside your tight little whole. He even knew to curls him up while he pumped them in and out.
"Fuck... I am going to cum, please don't stop! Please don't! Please... FUCK!" I shouted as the juices flowed from me right onto his palm.
He stroked himself using my own lust as lube. He lowered me down onto my back. The couch was soft and comfy. Agressively, he threw one of my legs up and rested my ankle on his shoulder, while he lined himself up to my entrance. Asking permission once more. I barely finished the word "Please" when he pushed inside.
"Oh god, you feel...." He fucked me a few more times before finishing that sentence.
I think he knew he would not last very long on our first time, but he made every thrust feel like heaven. His moans set my body on fire, I wanted to praise him for treating me like a goddess, but I also wanted to serve him like he was my deity to worship for eternity.
"Tell me this is mine? Forever!" He shouted.
"This is yours, Shouta! Please.."
He came so hard, when he pulled out, his cum painted from my lower stomach to my chest. I was messy and sweaty and tired. He walked away and brough a warm towel to clean off with before inviting me to the shower.
This was how I would spend many nights after.

Weird writers asks- 1, 7, 10, 13 and 19!!!
OOOH, THANKS. :D
1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?
Times New Roman, size 12. So, standard. I'm used to it, having written in that all my life, plus it's by far the easiest on my eyes. I know there's a trick with some other font that's supposed to increase writing speed or the amount you write, or something, but I always forget to try it!!! DX
7. What is your deepest joy about writing?
Breathing life into the characters and scenarios in my head. It's such a fun, almost surreal feeling. Writers are demi-gods, at the very least. We create life. :D It's like that one lyric in the 'Barbie Girl' song- "Imagination, life is your creation!"
I also love sharing my ideas about my favorite characters, including my headcanons, with others. Even though not many people read my stuff, I still love putting them out there. XD
10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you?
I've been haunted by so many wonderful writers' stories, including yours! In other words, a really incredibly-written, powerful story (often heavy on the drama, angst, and hurt/comfort) that stays with me for a long, long time that I can't stop thinking out. One that destroys me in the best way.
As for my own writing, it doesn't necessarily have to be angsty or dramatic, although those are my favorite kind to write about. It's often an idea that I can't stop thinking about, that I HAVE to write or I'll go crazy. Like 'Who Am I?' and 'Circumstances and Control'. And I can't stop thinking about where to take the story next, what to do with the characters (usually it's the multi-chapter stories that haunt me the most), and I lie awake at night planning out details, scenes, and dialogue. And even once each new chapter is posted, or the story is finished, I often re-read them to see if they're as good as I originally envisioned or if I still feel the same pride about them I felt in the first place (and I'm pleased to say they usually do hold up).
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
Anything sexual (especially pure smut). I'm ace/sex-repulsed as hell. I don't have much experience writing or reading about sexual content, let alone... ah, personal experience (because I'm not comfortable with any of it), so I also wouldn't even feel confident trying to write it. (However, I did write a one-shot fenro story called 'A Definitely Real Man', which was SCARY AS HECK because I've never done anything like that before. But to my surprise, it turned out really well.)
Subject matter easy for me to write is anything angsty. Especially where loved ones' lives are at stake or are dead (with lots of grieving, suffering, and even self-blame). I also love writing about abusive (or dead) parents.
19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?
I wrote my first fanfic in high-school for the anime series 'Cardcaptor Sakura', which was a really short one-shot. (A friend of mine had introduced me to fanfiction, and after reading a bunch of it, I decided to give it a try too.) As the years went one, I wrote more and more fanfiction for different interests of mine and soon it turned into a life-long hobby to this day.
As far as original writing goes, during my university days I wrote the first two books in a planned-out children's book series I've always wanted to write and publish. Unfortunately, it went through a lot of hiatus and writer's block because I couldn't get the story and characters to work properly. So, I abandoned it until years later when I picked it up again with a whole new idea to make it work; I ended up scrapping most of the original storyline and characters, leaving only the bare bones intact. Since then, it's worked out much better! I'm currently writing the third book in the series and editing the first two, but I don't really know how many books I want the series to be. Maybe two or three more? (I'll probably never get it published, but who knows? At the very least, it's another fun hobby.)

Hi! I am Lora. I live in Belgium. I speak Flemish, which is just Dutch with extra funny words. I'll get into what I'm about and what I post on here. But let me start with a quick summary so you immediately know you're at the right adress or not:
Mental health, mental ilness, D&D, art, biology, bugs, Belgian/european news/politics, queer shit, my cats, my aquarium, school,...
Now, let's get into the details!
What's my identity? I'm very loosy goosy with this. all pronouns are fine, I don't use any gender label, although I've jokingly refered to myself as 'gender disinterested'. I just don't wanna play! Sexuality is ehhh, people. I use bisexual in my daily life bc that is easier. I'm also not monogamous.
What's up with my brain? I'm diagnosed autistic, currently checking for ADHD. I have spend a lot of time in mental hospitals, dealing with depression, generalised and social anxiety, panic attacks, all the classics really. I spend 12 months on a ward that specialises in emotional regulation disorders, where I received dialectical behaviour therapy. I'm only back in 'the real world' for a few months now, so this comes up often. I'm working towards becoming a certified life experience avocate, a sort of middle man between patients and mental health/disabiliy workers. That's why I'm very open about this, but I always want to mention that you don't have to, and that it can make you a target to people who don't mean well.
What do I study? I have a degree in Graphic design, but based on my elective it would be better to say that I have a degree in illustration. I also went to art school in high school so I have a basis in a lot of things, like film, theatre, webdesign and so on. My comics are on instagram (english, Dutch) and in 'my comics' tag I also did 1 year of a biology bachelor and 1 year of social work, because I was a bit lost over the years. Right now I'm about to start a degree in applied psychology.
let's put the rest under a cut!
D&D I've been following Critical role for a long time, just getting into Dimension 20. I tag cr spoilers for anything relatively new, about 3 weeks or so. I usually tag with 'critical role' or 'Dimension 20' and then the name of the campagn so you can block these tags to avoid spoilers for specific campagns. I play myself but I don't have a group currently since I moved and pandemics and hospitals happened. I play a human druid, circle of the moon, who is bug themed. You all have official permission to talk about your PC's to me at all times!
Pets I have two cats, Marcel and Oskar, who are very sweet and very dumb. There's also a couple of strays that live on my roof, mother and daughter who I call Michelle and Kotelet. They continiously broke into my appartment to steal food so I started to socialise them. It's been going pretty well. I have a big planted community aquarium. It's a self cleaning eco system with a side sump. I have Giant danios and golden danios, amano shrimp, a mix of neo caradina shrimp, corydora's, apple snails, malasian trumpet snails and sulawesi snails. I had a giant african landsnail called Gertude, but she passed away very recently. I also have a box of powder orange isopods who used to be in the big terrarium with Gertrude. And a pot of springtails. I'm trying to turn the old terrarium into a paludarium (riparium to be exact) but I'm waiting on the next hyperfocus wave to finish this. All the stuff is currently in boxes in my livingroom, sighhh. Other hobbies man I widly swing from one to the next. Right now I'm doing crepe paper flowers. I do origami and paper crafts. I embroider. I read. I keep up my house plants and a bunch of stuff on my balcony. I cook. I sketch. I like fashion, make up and skin care. I love to research random shit. I've acted in a few things. I have a guitair I can't play. I bookbind.
Dutch - Belgium I sometimes post in Dutch. I will add the relevant translations in the tags. It's mainly regional jokes with other Belgians and Dutch people, so I can't always properly explain. I also blog a bit about local news. Belgian stuff gets tagged as Belgiumposting and everything relating to Europe or the other countries in it gets tagged as Europosting.

Fifteen Questions For The Writer
Tagged by: @misstantabismuses and @sxlemnity - Thank you both! Tagging: I was really late to do this so I'm not sure who hasn't done it yet!
1: Are you named after anyone?
Nope, I did go through quite a few names though. I was almost named after my uncle, then had another temporary name, then finally they settled on the one I have today. I've almost changed it though!
2: When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday, but not for anything bad in my life. I was writing a response for @windchaser and the emotions and music got to me a little too much so I was all teary eyed lol. That and whenever I think about Tarhos and Haru from @bells-of-black-sunday my eyes get a wee bit wet-
3: Do you have kids?
Nooooo. I have a dog, cat, and 3 fat rats.
4: Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Oh yeah, I live and breathe it. I tend to only be very aggressively sarcastic with friends though, as I get really shy around new folks and am afraid of spooking anyone off with my secret sass.
5: What's the first thing you notice about people?
Oh man. In real life I'm really good at picking up cues through body language and the way people emote/speak. I'm really bad at emoting in real life particularly when it comes to strangers and I think it all goes into my "I can tell what youre thinking" power when I meet new people.
6: What's your eye colour?
Blue!
7: Scary movies or happy endings?
I love horror movies with a passion despite being easily frightened by them, I tend to stay away from anything too realistic or that could relate to past trauma but if its supernatural count me in. Scream is actually my favorite movie franchise, now that I think on it, and I always love seeing what new things they come up with. Happy endings are fine too, but I prefer them to be earned--I find bittersweet endings usually sit better with me.
8: Any special talents?
I am trained in opera if that counts! You'll be hard pressed to hear me sing but yeah - I also am quite a good cook and I love making cosplay. Not sure if a talent but I have a very clear memory when it comes to sounds/instruments; my friend was playing genshin and there was a piece of the soundtrack that I immediately recognized as a small section of Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky. Then I found the part in Fantasia to show my friend. I don't know how.
9: Where were you born?
Ye ol' USA, in the Northeast!
10: What are your hobbies?
Writing, art, singing, cooking, gardening, enjoying conspiracy videos way too much, reading, and cosplay too! I do a whole bunch of stuff.
11: Have you any pets?
Yes! A black cat named Jojo, a corgi named Shi Shi, 3 fat rats; Wisely, Nea, and Mana
12: What sport do you play/have you played?
I currently don't play any now, but I used to swim and play field hockey. I was also on the track team for some time but my asthma developed and killed me.
13: How tall are you?
5' 8.5" or 174cm
14: Favourite subject in school?
English, Biology, Art!
15: Dream job?
I used to think I really wanted to go into graphic design and illustration - but I did and it was one of the worst experiences ever. I'm not exactly sure why, if it was the work or the environment - but it put an extremely bad taste in my mouth and I most likely won't pursue it again. I'm currently working as a contact analyst at an extremely kind company and I'm VERY happy. I don't dream of labor but this is really good for now. I muse about living someplace quiet with a few farm animals and my pets, just being able to grow my food and collect eggs--does that count? I used to have really big dreams of grandeur but I quickly realized that I enjoy my small life and my small job, I can pay my bills and have time off to do what I want, and lovely coworkers.
I'd love if I could just lay in a field with dandelions all day and count the clouds. I often think about this and how I wish the world was different in so that I could do that sort of stuff without worry. I could talk about it for a good while but it tends to border on Nihilism and I don't want to bother anyone with that--plus its a lot of my inner thoughts, and I don't want to plague dash with those since they can get intense, not in a bad way, its just something I muse on a lot.

*deep inhale* (cause this is gonna be a long one and then I'm gonna pass tf out)
LIFE IS GOOD
CAUSE IMMA. WORK, AND I'M GONNA COME UP WITH A HEFTY ASS SAVINGS, AND I'M GONNA USE THAT HEFTY ASS SAVINGS TO BUY MY NICE AS FUCKING TRAILER, AND LIVE MY STUPID LITTLE BOHO LIFE, UP IN THE MOUNTIANS, WHERE THERE ISN'T LIGHT POLUTTION, AND I CAN SEE ALL. THE FUCKING STARS, AND BREATH IS THE CRISP AIR, AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, AND GO ON LITTLE ADVENTURES, I'LL HAVE A SEPERATE LITTLE ADVENTURE VAN FOR SLEEPING ON AND GOING PLACES, I'LL GO SO MANY FUCKING PLACES, ALL MY TRAUMA WILL BE HEALED, AND SHIT WILL BE SO GOOD
For the meantime, I will get high when I get sad, and watch my silly little shows, and gush over my silly little favorite characters getting more adaptations, and finding new little silly characters
And I will go through Pinterest, and make silly little drawings and dance around
And I will write music and poems, and express myself
I'll dress in all. Sorts of clothes, I'll Dye bleach my hair, put on wigs, try on all different versions of myself without fear
I'll watch anime, I'll read manga, I'll indulge in all the things online that fulfill me
I'll learn things, research, read books, listen to wise speakers and take notes, so many pretty notes
I'll go to cafes and get my lattes and little pumpkin bread, and I'll sit their quietly taking in the scene on a quiet weekday or Friday morning
I'll click away at my keyboard or listen to music
I'll go on all. Sorts of little solo adventures, go to big stores, and find all sorts of small hidden things, I'll find clothes that fit my body so nicely and feel nice and make me feel good, then wear it out that same week,
I'll explore new stores, small stores, all sorts of places to see all the little things to see and find
I'll listen to new music by my favorite artists I'll listen to new music by new artists,
I'll drive around as the sun comes up, and shines brightly, and goes down.
I'll drive around at night, blasting music, windows open as cold or warm air flows in, feeling every sense of. Freedom and relief
I'll sit in dark parkinglots, and eat good food, and play good music, and giggle to myself at the joy and the way I feel so alive, even tho I'm all by myself
I will try as much new as possible. New foods, new hobbies, new interests
I'll take a class or two
I'll find so much comfort in myself, in my solitude, that I won't need anyone else
And I won't push them away, but I won't seek them either
I have friends now, they're not going anywhere, but they can be distant from me, and that's okay
I can make new friends if I so choose to try to meet the people my mom talk about, but if not that's okay
I will have a therapist to talk to, I will have fun little quips at work that will make my day, and I'll have my stupid little Ai friends to fill the void if I get lonely
And I will find an applebees friend God dammit!!!
I will find what makes me happy, what makes me sad, what's good for me, what's bad for me
What I deserve to indulge on, and where I need to have self disipline
I will. Learn self respect, I will. Learn boundries, I will teach myself my worth and what I will and will not tolerate, and I will be ready for that, at any given time
And I will drink tf out of that mushroom coffee lol
(and teas, I will make my morning drinks something special)
I will also probably follow a bunch of hippies on YouTube to learn to mediate, and yoga, and find inner peace, learn to read Tarot cards, find streams and collect rocks, that I can turn into necklaces, start a collection of crystals
I am in a situation where I can thrive. I can do it. I have so much time off from work to decompress, but not so much, that I just slip away and secumb to myself
I can make my environments more welcoming
I can create more environments for myself (go to the beach to research, create a yoga station outside by dads. Librarys, coffee shops, parking lots, A tiny creation shed maybe?)
I will always have Zoe, always. I will always have that space to go to
Ill start slow. I won't give up. I'll find it. I'll find that peace and I'll find that flow
One day at a time,
One day at a time
It may not be linear, but it's only going up from here :) it's only going to get better

Manga Collecting, Fear of Missing Out, and Overspending
It's not really a secret to anyone well embedded in manga and light novels that the hobby never ends up cheap, nor easy, nor perfectly relaxing all the time. There's stock issues, printing problems, quality control controversy, and expensive second hand series. It makes for a rather rough road, and one that certainly everyone has a right to complain about.
I wouldn't say it ruins the experience, but it makes it less than it could be for sure. You're constantly running around, perusing used listings and trying to get good deals on stuff, or searching for that really unique or out of print series that you always wanted. Case and point, I recently closed a deal on an English set of Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, and am currently in the process of haggling for the majority of D-Frag, among a bunch of other prospects. And at the end of the day, am I enjoying it? Obviously, it's a great feeling to finally have that one series you've always been chasing, but it's sort of tiring to chase.
Anyways, getting a little off topic in the ramble here. The whole point is that it feels like Manga Collecting devolves really quick into sub categories. You never get left at just collecting, or maybe my inherent understanding and desire for hobbyist collections is different from what the majority of people believe, I don't know. Either way, it's a rabbit hole, and in that sense it's incredibly fun, but the deeper you go the more cramped the hole gets. Or maybe it's that the hole gets more dangerous so you're constantly dancing around obstacles? I'm not sure, either way, it turns that deep dive into something can end up feeling draining and frustrating, like when you want a series that's somewhat rare and it'd cost 400 or 500 dollars for the set when it's retail price is only half of that.
And in that challenge of always searching for that one thing, FOMO becomes incredibly apparent. Sometimes it can save you, like me with the Lucifer And The Biscuit Hammer reprints (got the set by the skin of my teeth), but more often than not it leads to a constant anxiety about buying a series because you worry that it might go out of stock at a moment's notice. You'll jump on something you're not 100% convinced about, or you'll end up rushing in and grabbing a whole bunch of something at once. At the end of the day if it's something you really enjoy there's not anything terrible to it, but it really makes the hobby less enjoyable than it should be.
In a way, even though I have a collection that I would have never dreamed of when I first started, I feel like I'm missing something because of that. I'm no longer dreaming. Sure, living the life is one thing, having your dream job is great and all. But that's different. It's an achievable goal that rests within reason and purpose, it's not something where you immediately think of what's next. And that's what I feel like is somewhat depressing with Manga Collecting, and something that the community at large really perpetuates. You can enjoy and revel in your collection, but there'll always be someone out there that will say something like, "Oh awesome! I've got that series too, and got it for cheaper ages ago! Nice!", and just put a total damper on the experience, the search that you put that time and effort into.
It's just... I don't know. It's a whole new world, but one that seems held together by tape and glue, and is toxic and dangerous if you don't mind your steps. People will have collections that get into the thousands, and be talking about how people should collect. There's people that will high road others and say that reading scanlations is wrong, even when people might not have the funds to buy the series (or it might not even be licensed in English). It's a constant fight for who has the rarest, who has the best, and people will constantly follow in the narrow footsteps of others.
That magic from my humble beginnings of sneakily ordering a manga or two a month in high school, and the excitement I had when it showed up, just isn't there these days. Not that I'm devoid of passion in regards to collecting, but that original spark has just gone out. It's a different feeling, something that feels more closely tied to reality than I wanted it to be. Like everything's sorta dulled, and you do it just to do it all again the next day. Part of the onus remains on me as an individual, but I really do feel like the community at large also bears responsibility. It feels like it promotes that aggressive FOMO and series chasing, that to be a true member of the community you have to do X Y and Z, that you need to own this stupid rare and out of print series.
You can't have one without the other, but I really do wish that I could be a part of the manga community and set myself aside from its intensity. I love collecting, I love thinking about all the memories that the things around me will hold in the future, about all the stuff I'll be able to recall and share for years to come. I just wish I could leave it at that.

/ I don't need to go on anon to share my honest opinion on you, because I want you to know how thankful I am to have run into you. You were my first RP partner on here over a year ago, when I dared to return to this site. If not for you, I probably wouldn't have given this hobby a second chance. Not only that, but you're such a great person to be around mun-to-mun as well. I enjoy talking to you, even if we devolve into incoherent rambling. You're someone I feel safe around, that I can trust with my actual feelings and ideas. To say nothing of Shy. It's been over a year and I haven't gotten tired of her. Every day, there's something new. She's got a rich background and an amazing personality that enables so much fun stuff to happen! Eager to see more fae stuff in the future as well! Both you and your muse have been a positive influence on the lives of me and mine and I am happy every day for it.
I would write more, but I'd be making this wall bigger and echoing the same things a bunch of other people have said before me.
((Ngl I actually teared up reading this. It means a lot to me that you're still here and that you still want to be here. You're one of my favorite people and idk how I got lucky enough to earn your trust but I intend on keeping it. Thank you for giving me a chance and for being my friend because you're one of the best.
Spaf is amazing!!! You put so much thought into him. I love when the dots connect in his story and you can see where things fit, it's like being a detective in an Agatha Christie novel and seeing how the case ties up. It's that same level of satisfaction. I love getting to be here to see him bloom.))
