#i rejected a lot of comfort items for some reason

[darkcircles4lyfe]

it's a story about hands (reprise)

Yeah, okay, today's the day.

I gave my blog that title for a reason, you know, and it has loomed over me for years because the hand motif is absolutely everywhere and you could go on about it forever.

Maybe that's something I'll never actually attempt to do, but this chapter, we reached a breaking point.

Before I continue, I need to give a big, big disclaimer: I do not have a physical disability, so I'm not able to speak about that from the standpoint of representation as a first-hand perspective. I have at least listened to enough disabled people to know that fictional characters who become amputees only to miraculously gain their limbs back is, um, a trope. Disabled people in general being "healed" is a conception we would really prefer to avoid here. Not to call people out, but I don't think we're giving enough space to acknowledge that.

I don’t feel comfortable making the judgement call about what should happen. I’m leaving that open. I also don't want to downplay people's emotional reactions. Honestly, I don't know if I can accurately define the line between acknowledging real pain vs. ableist pity. But I’d like to talk about the possibilities of what could happen. Other characters have definitely gotten permanent disabilities as a result of their hero work, or even just the side effects of their quirk. But, for better or worse, I don't think this case is really about representation. Not that Horikoshi won't do that justice. He might. What I'm saying is that's not his purpose for having Izuku lose his arms. It's meant to be symbolic, so we can explore what it means. The other thing I’m keeping in mind here is that Horikoshi is notorious for playing with our expectations, like, alllllll the time. I mean, just take a few chapters ago for a classic example. Eri appeared at the end, and we all assumed she was about to take some sort of action to save someone with her quirk. Then, immediately following, we were given an explanation for why that wouldn’t be happening. And now it’s clear he wanted to do that “fake out” not just as a silly cliffhanger prank, but specifically so we would know not to suspect that Eri could be the miraculous solution to Izuku’s loss of his arms. Rest assured, there is no easy way out of this.

The expectation at play in this particular instance is an old one. It’s very understated, but its subtext has burned so brightly, you’d be a fool not to notice it. It sits with anticipation like one half of a call and response. Man, I was so certain. Lots of people still are. I was really looking forward to printing the panel where it happened onto a t shirt and wearing it proudly. All the hand motifs in this story radiate thematically from a single moment, the one that started it all for Izuku.

It raises all kinds of questions about the act of saving, who needs saving, why, what does it mean, what are the dynamics of power, politics, honesty, exploitation, compassion, pity, disdain, sacrifice. Katsuki has dealt with many of these since he first rejected Izuku’s hand. While Izuku was the one who was convinced Katsuki would keep on rejecting him…

…Katsuki was the one who kept that moment in his mind all these years and eventually came to regret it.

Katsuki is the one yearning for that hand-hold, the one who has imbued it with so much more weight than it ever originally had. Izuku, in contrast, does not allow himself to dwell on what he wants. To illustrate this difference, we need to look at another piece of foreshadowing:

Ugh, do y'all remember when lots of folks were complaining about how there never seemed to be actual consequences for Izuku's destructive treatment of his own body? I don't blame them, I was concerned and confused about it too. There were several "fixes" along the way. Recovery Girl healed him, but left a physical reminder. Then he started training to fight with his legs… sometimes. Then he got support items. All of these were unsatisfying non-conclusions because they didn't present Izuku with a lasting enough impression to change in a meaningful way. They didn't address his core, his origin.

Of course, that all changed this chapter. Now it looks like our frustration was inflicted intentionally. With the current context in mind, all of these moments look more sinister, like this day was always gonna come because they kept putting bandaids on a deep emotional and psychological wound. The problem is pretty much spelled out for us here:

As Katsuki put it, he just doesn’t take himself into account, ya know? He doesn’t care what happens to him. And he lies about it, to keep others from worrying, to keep them safe. To keep them from returning the favor and putting themselves in harm’s way for his sake. His motivations are noble,

…but what about the little boy inside Izuku? Who saves him?

This is all about Izuku giving himself up to the point that he literally has no more to give. The thing is, I bet he saw this coming. He knew his limits and decided to keep going anyway, because his personal safety and wellbeing are not important. Now that way of thinking has come back to bite him because the fight isn’t over yet, and he’s already made his sacrifice. So now we know who will be more distraught over this. Not Izuku—Katsuki.

It’s not about Izuku becoming disabled, it’s about how Katsuki wanted to use the intertwining of their fingers to communicate that he would never let go. Never stop valuing him most. Never let himself make the mistake of rejecting him again. Never let Izuku be so reckless with his life. To say: “we are in this together.”…if only Katsuki believed he deserved to be able to say such things. To reach out his hand would have been the ultimate way to simply imply them and let Izuku be the one to decide. Then, to feel their hands clasped together would be more than either of them dared hope for, but so beautiful, so right. A moment they’ve waited their whole lives for.

Yeah. That’s what we were expecting. We’ve been so comfortable. Horikoshi gave us all the signs. He tempted and teased us over and over. BUT. You know he does this thing were he gives us a desirable, completely plausible and simple thing to look forward to, and then he snatches it away. And THEN he replaces it with something much better, something we were not expecting at all because it seemed too good to be true. That’s exactly what happened when Himiko snatched Izuku away, and we were robbed of the chance to see him and Katsuki fight together. In hindsight, though, I’m glad things went a different way because now there’s so much more depth and angst on display. Likewise, in the present moment, we may consider how, as one door closes, another opens.

As wonderfully meaningful as the hand-hold would have been, perhaps it is still too simple a resolution for Izuku, for his and Katsuki’s relationship. Tbh, it could have been done like 100 chapter ago. At this point, there’s so much more potential. There are a couple of ways it could go. If Izuku stays armless, Katsuki will be forced to use other methods to get his point across. He’ll have to do something else, or say what he means, or both. Yes, I’m talking about what you think I’m talking about. If I say it, I just might jinx it (lol), but I mean it. I’m being serious. Either way, if Izuku did get his arms back in the end, I’m sure that it wouldn’t be an easy fix. It would be hard-won against Izuku’s self-destructive mindset, and/or by Katsuki’s conviction. Again, I say this knowing it is not meant so much as a representation of disability, but as a representation of Izuku’s greatest character flaw taken to the extreme. I know this might sound harsh, like, hasn’t he been through enough? I get that, but… I’ve said it before and I say it again: Izuku is stubborn as hell.

I wish I had a resounding final note to end this on, but I kinda don’t. I’m not sure what’s best. Now we just have to wait and see what Horikoshi has in mind.

[traumasurvivors]

Here’s a link to a blog post on my personal website on a topic that I think is very important.

I’ve also put it below the read more for people that don’t like external links. But if you're okay with it, checking it out on my personal website is really nice (and even giving it a heart if you can)! I don't make money from my website, so there are no intrusive ads or anything like that to stop you from reading the article.

Embracing Your Inner Child

This applies to anyone, but I really want to emphasize this to my fellow survivors who went through trauma as children and/or teenagers.

I’m so sorry you lost part, most or all of your childhood. That doesn’t mean it’s too late to give your inner child what you can. This includes comfort but it also includes doing the things you didn’t get to if you can.

Play the fun games. Buy the tasty treats. Go on adventures.

It’s never too late to feel a little more of the kind of joy you had (or should have had) as a child. You may not be able to be a child again, but you can still help and support your inner child.

You might have been told that a fun idea you had was “silly” or even “stupid.” When you have those thoughts now, instead of rejecting it, embrace the “silly” idea and let yourself enjoy it. It’s not shameful or wrong to do the things your inner child wants to do. It’s okay to be “immature” sometimes, even if you’re twenty years old. Or thirty. Or sixty. I just want to say that I don’t think any of this is immature, but I know that is a bias and judgement a lot of us might pass on ourselves. 

A short, not at all complete list of things you might do for your inner child:

Watch childhood movies or tv shows (Did you watch “Blues Clues”, or “Pokemon”? Maybe “The Land Before Time”? There’s no reason you can’t still enjoy them.)

Listen to “silly” music, maybe singing along or dancing to it (for me, one favourite is “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” from The Lion King. I know every word and have a dance party everytime it comes on my shuffle.)

Go to the park and use the swings (I don’t know why, but flying up just a few feet can make me forget all my “grown-up” worries)

Have a treat just because (maybe that big sundae your parents never let you have, or the chicken nuggets you haven’t had in a decade). Maybe you want to fulfil your childhood dream of having ice cream for breakfast! 

Go to the toy store - maybe even get some stuffed animals or other toy items. (I just recently realized that I can fulfill my childhood dream of collecting certain toys that I never got to have when I was younger!) 

Ride a roller coaster and scream your head off on the way down (I like to try to be in the very first car)

Make creative, crafty stuff - like a painting or drawing, or decorating a picture on construction paper with googly eyes and glitter or a clay model with a weirdly shaped head (even if the result looks like something you’d expect to see in a kindergarten class, or the process makes a mess that looks like a glitter bomb went off)

Another aspect of embracing your inner child is trying to give your inner child the person you needed when you were a child. 

This might mean standing up for yourself when others try to put you down or take credit for things you’ve done, even (or especially) if no one else spoke up for you when you were a child. 

It might mean offering comfort and compassion to yourself, and not being too hard on yourself when you make mistakes that you would have been insulted for as a child or don’t know something that “everyone learns as a child.” Maybe now you can teach yourself that accidents happen, and spilling a drink or breaking a plate is not the disaster and failure of character that you were told as a child. 

It might mean being patient with yourself when something is harder to do than you feel like it should be (whether you actually aren’t able to do it as easily as others, or you have unrealistic expectations of its difficulty because of the expectations put on you as a child). There are lots of instructional videos out there to help you to gain basic cooking or cleaning skills. If you never really learned to read, there are programs to help you. If you weren’t allowed or able to learn to manage your emotions or relationships in healthy ways, there’s help out there for you. There is absolutely no shame in not learning any kind of skills you feel you “should” have learned as a child, and it is okay to learn them as an adult.

You may have had to grow up too fast. You may not have been allowed to do the fun things. You may have suffered trauma that shattered your childhood. I’m here to tell you that you still have an inner child, and embracing that inner child is good for you. Just because you’re an adult, at any age, doesn’t mean that you’re too old to have fun.

No one else gets to decide what’s right for you - you get to decide what you enjoy and what you want.

And it’s never too late to remember, indulge, listen to, and embrace your inner child. Let them be a part of how you choose to move forward. It’s time for us to realize that there is no one way to be an adult, and we get to decide what being an adult means to us. And if that means I want to rent a bouncy castle for my birthday, then that is my perfectly valid version of an adult birthday (a birthday which my inner child would be thrilled about, by the way).

Robin's Solangelo Fic Recs

many of these fics are old or have a lot of attention already, but if you're antsy waiting for The Sun and the Star to come out, here are some solangelo fics to fill your brain with heart emojis!

double-crossed, star-crossed, fingers-crossed by orphan account - 2.2k - During their first kiss, Nico sees Will glowing, but keeps it to himself. Will doesn’t even know he’s doing it until someone else sees them kissing and gets very flustered. Soooo cute

echoes of lies that i told by demigodbeautiies - 29.9k - College AU, Nico agrees to be Will’s fake boyfriend for Naomi’s wedding. He curses himself later when he catches real feelings, assuming Will would never actually see him that way (spoiler alert: he would).

 My memories of you by Fl_utterby - 56.1k - Will is cursed by Niobe to lose his memories, including his years-long relationship with Nico. When he shows up at Camp Jupiter, Nico arrives to take him to Camp Half-Blood in a cross-country quest with Reyna. Bittersweet and soft with a happy ending!

 i could be your hero by sundaysabotage - 10.8k - a few years down the line, now that Percy Jackson is off at college, Nico finds himself in an unexpected position of senior authority at Camp Half-Blood. It’s not easy to reconcile with his own self-image. Light on the solangelo, mostly a Nico character study, but very good!!

The Rose of Paphos by Tundras_and_Taigas - 19.3k - The Aphrodite cabin unearths a magic item that indicates whether the holder has romantic feelings for someone, and discover that Will has a big crush on some person he won’t identify. Nico finds out about this and gets in his head about who that person could be. Feelings ensue! Also has a whole chapter for Mitchell/Connor if that’s your thing. Very cute and soft with a nice take on the Aphrodite cabin.

our lips set the sun by @thebhorror - 4.1k - a soft first kiss that Nico has spent 10 months agonizing over. In-character and sweet with a delightful payoff.

lich by @pinkerpick - 2.6k - content warning for death, torture, injury, and suicide! Since Thanatos was chained while Nico was in Tartarus, he dies many times and always comes back still trapped in the pit. Also light on the solangelo and more about Nico, this is some seriously well-done angst. The follow-up fic, penitent, wherein Nico confronts Hades about the events of this fic, is also very very good!

i bleed for your love by flannelfeelings - 7.5k - Nico semi-unintentionally keeps getting himself hurt so he can hang out with Will in the infirmary, because he is too repressed to just ask Will to hang out. Super well written, heartwrenching character voice, and butterflies-inducing romance!

 Falling for You (Literally) by peanutbutterapple - 4.8k - Nico is acting weird before he visits Hazel at Camp Jupiter. On his return, before Will can ask him about it, Drew Tanaka pranks everyone with a magic hat that makes the wearer feel their romantic feelings very intensely for everyone to see. So adorable and Nico’s reason for his weird behavior is the best thing. 

Opportunity Knocks by nikkiRA - 35.5k - Nico tries to kiss Will, who freaks out and rejects him. Nico decides the same day to run away from Camp Half-Blood, but is intercepted by some meddlesome gods who trap him in a time-loop.

 constant craving (however hard i want, i never really get) by @thebhorror - 5.5k - another banger character study focusing on Nico’s unmet (and then met) need for affection throughout his character arc. A very believable and heart wrenching deliberation on Nico’s character arc and how his relationship with Will complements it! 

there are so many lives i want to share with you by penandblankpaper (@kiarrahatesboys) - 8.7k (so far) -  still a WIP but a WIP that slaps, this is a post-ToN, pre-TSatS solangelo mini-quest story. Rachel informs Will and Nico that they need to take a journey with no goal before they go to Tartarus or they will die. Lots of soft banter and gentle familiarity with a bullet train of angst incoming! Please read it (for me) please please please

Bonus: Solace by solisaureus (that’s me!) - 73k - A Will character study to complement all these Nico character studies, this work spans the entire narrative across all three series. This is my longest PJO fic and the one I poured the most love into! Though the fic is about Will and his coming of age, there’s plenty of solangelo in here.  

I (and many of the other authors in this list) also write a ton of other PJO fics so do check those out too!! :) happy reading!!!

I Almost Told You That I Loved You Ch. 18

Chapter 17 | IATYTILY Masterlist | Chapter 19

A/N: I am spoiling you guys lol. Another chapter already?!

Rating: T

Word Count: 1,223

Pairing: Jax Teller x F! reader

Plot: This takes place shortly after Tara leaves Charming. You start working at Teller-Morrow and an unlikely and messy relationship forms between you and Jax.

Warnings: Jax being Jax

You called Teller-Morrow but they currently don’t have anyone available to tow your car nor do they have an ETA. They told you the MC is away taking care of MC business so you can’t even get a hold of Jax. You want to curse Opie for letting a mechanic other than Kai take a look at your car. They only put a bandaid instead of actually fixing it. Letting out a heavy sigh as you search through your purse for another quarter for the pay phone, you find a slip of paper with a phone number on it.

“Thank you for picking me up,” you say to Will as you get in his car..

“Don’t worry about it. It’s a good thing you called before I left my house,” Will says. “You would have been stranded here.”

“I mean, I probably could have taken the bus or walked,” you chuckle.

“What about your car?”

“The manager at the market said I can leave my car in his lot until I can get it towed. He’s a really nice guy,” you answer. “I really appreciate you going out of your way,” you smile at him. “I really owe you.”

“Don’t worry about it,” he tells you as he starts his car. “But um… I wouldn’t mind dinner. Just you and me?”

“I… “ you start, your gut doing somersaults having to say the next sentence. “I’m sorry Will, you’re very sweet, but I… I’m kinda, sorta seeing someone right now.”

Since being with Jax, you’ve never told Will you had been seeing someone on and off because you really didn’t know where you and Jax stood. You had no reason to mention him to Will.

“Oh,” he replies, surprised. He pulls out of the parking spot and starts driving off. “Well, where is he? Why isn’t he helping you?”

“He’s… he’s working right now.”

“It’s okay. We can still have dinner, right? As friends?” Will asks.

“I… guess we can.” 

“But only if you’re comfortable with that,” he clarifies. “And if it makes you feel better, we can do lunch instead, at the school cafeteria. Doesn’t matter to me where,” he shrugs.

“Okay,” you chuckle and smile at him. Your thumping heart starts to slow down as you were half expecting him to react poorly to your rejection, even though he’s never shown any signs of being aggressive. 

As he continues to drive to your aunt’s house to drop you and your groceries off, the two of you have engaging conversations about class and other things including swapping funny stories. In the middle of you telling something that happened at an MC party, you get interrupted.

“Wait, are you… are you dating Jax Teller?” Will asks, his eyes suddenly opening wide as saucers.

“Yeah, do you know him?” you ask curiously.

“I mean, not personally but I’ve heard things. Charming is a small town and he has a reputation,” he looks over at you. “And not a good one.”

“He’s a little rough around the edges, but he… he can be sweet when he wants to,” you tell him.

“Just be careful,” he warns. 

“I know he’s in a motorcycle club, but he’s not dangerous if that’s what you mean,” you explain. “He’s just going through some things, you know?”

Will doesn’t need an itemized receipt of all the issues you have with Jax so you keep it vague.

“I’m not trying to tell you who to date,” he replies as he pulls up to the curb in front of your house. “I’m just saying, just be careful.”

“I appreciate your concern, Will, but he’s not as terrible as you might’ve heard,” you tell him as you unbuckle your seatbelt. “Though I’m not sure what you’ve heard.”

“If you say so,” he shrugs. ”Oh, let me help you with the groceries.”

Will quickly unbuckles his belt as you step out of the car. He opens the back seat to grab a few bags as you do the same. After he helps you bring the groceries inside, you walk him back to his car.

“Again, thank you so so much for all your help,” you tell Will.

“Not a problem at all,” he reminds you as you both make your way back to his car.

A motorcycle engine roars louder as it whizzes down the block, slowing down when it reaches your house. You both watch the Harley pull up next to Will’s car that’s blocking the driveway. Jax hops off the bike and makes his way towards you and Will.

“What the hell is he doing here?” Jax asks with a snarl on his face.

“It’s nice to meet you too,” Will greets sarcastically.

“Shut the fuck up!” Jax steps up to Will but you step in between them.

“Jax, stop it! My car shitted out on me and Will helped me out,” you explain, stepping in between them.

“Of all people, you called him?” Jax looks at you while pointing to Will.

“No one at TM could help me and I didn’t know where the fuck you were!” you reply. 

Jax just shakes his head as his jaw ticks.

“I was out doing grown up shit, earning. Not still in school like children.” His eyes bores into Will’s. 

“What are you even doing here?” you ask him.

“When I got back to the clubhouse, I was told you called about your car and I didn’t know where the hell to find you so this was the first place I tried,” he answers, turning back to you. “But I didn’t think I’d find this fucking nerd walking out of your house. Did you go suck him off? Return the favor? Did it to get back at me?”

“You know, you’re really fucking rude!” Will defends, stepping a bit closer. 

“I wasn’t talking to you, asshole!” Jax tries to get in Will’s face but you put a stop to it.

“What the fuck, Jax?” You see Mr. Hyde is making his appearance again.

“Will,” you turn to him for a moment. “Thank you for the ride. I will see you next week at school.”

“I’m not gonna leave you alone here with this prick,” Will tells you without breaking the staring contest he’s having with Jax.

“I’ll be fine,” you assure him.

Will continues to stare Jax down, not budging.

“Please!” You plead with him.

Jax lounges at Will and you stop him. Will hops back with his hands up.

“Get the fuck out of here before I put you in a body bag!”

“Will, please, just go! I’ll call you later!” You urge once more.

“Like hell you are!” Jax turns to you.

“You know what? You need to go, Jax.”

“Are you serious right now?” He looks at you with deep furrowed brows.

“Thank you for coming to check on me and my car, but I’m good,” you add, crossing your arms.

His jaw ticks as he continues to stare you down.

“You’re really gonna choose him over me?” His leathered finger points to Will.

“I’m choosing myself over you,” you simply reply.

With that, Jax shakes his head as he hops back on his bike. He gives you two one last staredown before taking off. You let out a shaky breath that you’ve been holding as the adrenaline still pumps through you.

Any news on baby alpha Max's courting? Did omega Daniel let him down? And regret it immediately? Just picturing sad Max is giving me all the feels :(

x -

“But I of course cannot help it,” Max said, knowing his cheeks were burning and Daniel could not only see, but smell his embarrassment.

He hadn’t known how to do anything but what he had been doing. Acting on instinct only, driven to give Daniel little gifts – treats, coffee, comfort items for their plane travel -, unable to rationalize with his biological drive to look after Daniel and make sure he was content.

His doctor had said he’d be able to settle into himself as time went on. He had only presented as an alpha a few short months ago and things were still a little haywire, hormonally. But Max was doing his best. He excused himself from Paddock Club appearances when he knew there’d be a lot of other alphas around wanting to touch Daniel and give him hugs and get close for photos with him. Max didn’t want to see that and he at least knew better enough to remove himself from the situation.

Also, he tried his very best to limit the amount of times he crossed the little hallway to bother Daniel in his driver’s room. He tried to make himself stay in his own and focus on other things but the pull of the omega he desired so deeply just feet across the hall was difficult to refuse. Max could always smell Daniel – more so after a track session when he returned to his room. Warm, a bit sweaty. Almost irresistible but Max made himself not bother Daniel too much. And if he did, he’d made excuses. Seeing what Daniel was up to. Asking if he had an extra phone charger. Coming up with good reasons to go over there.

And he made sure he was long back at the hotel after track commitments when he knew Daniel and his friends would be going out some where. Never stuck around enough to be hurt to not get an invitation, nor to be too weak to refuse one if he did. Paddock Club was enough. Daniel in a night club with all the scents of other alphas in a sexually charged environment… Max didn’t trust himself, so he didn’t wait around to find out.

He never said anything to Daniel, but Daniel had figured it out, anyway.

But he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t. He didn’t understand his own biology, the way he acted on instinct and hardly ever thoughtful consideration. It was second nature to… to court, in his own little way, the omega he so deeply wanted to have as his own. He knew it wouldn’t ever happen, which was why he’d never said anything. But.

Biology.

“Max,” Daniel had started, using his gentle voice that made Max squirm. He wasn’t joking or teasing like he usually did with Max. Daniel was being serious and Max wanted to get out of here.

Humiliated. Rejected. Hurting.

“I’m flattered, Max, really,” Daniel continued and Max wanted to positively die, but he was stuck on the little couch in his driver’s room with Daniel in the doorway and there was no escape. “But we’re team mates and you’re really young and we should just be friends, hey? It’s been good, as it is. I don’t want to drag this out but just, we’ll be friends. And I know it’s weird when you first present but it’ll be okay. Just, let’s dial it back, yeah? All good, we’ll move on and pretend this didn’t happen,” Daniel finished before taking a step back to leave and give Max his privacy.

“Okay,” Max agreed, eyes downcast at his hands in his lap. He’d been trying. As it was. To mellow out. To not be too obvious. To just. Do as little as possible and fight off the rest of his urges to get his hackles up and put his hands on Daniel in the presence of other people. He’d been trying hard, already.

“I’ll catch you later,” Daniel said before exiting and closing the door, leaving Max alone on his little couch.

Daniel’s warm, soft, honey-like omega scent had been gone through the whole conversation. Max ached with the hurt of Daniel’s words and the confusion of him smelling so sad.

[aftonfamilyvalues]

I have a sort of conspiracy theory about liberal feminism that I need to get off my chest. The whole "pick me vs girls girl" culture is actively creating TiFs.

Women who don't fit into certain standards society holds have been shamed for it since the beginning of time, but now rejecting femininity is being seen as anti feminist. Girls who aren't even putting down other women are called nlogs and pick me's just because they're awkward and kind of tomboyish.

Look at Jlaw. She was shamed out of the public eye for acting like an actual human and not a walking caricature of womanhood (eating pizza and falling down on the red carpet). There's an audio going around being mocked on tiktok where a woman rightfully says "I don't like makeup. I think it's bad for women". I've seen nasty comments under Korean feminist insta posts where the women in question are smashing their makeup or wearing comfortable clothing and talking openly about it.

I genuinely think this is the reason why a lot of girls believe themselves not to be female. Since it's shameful and cringy to not be feminine as a woman in the year of our Lord 2024, it would logically be better to think of yourself as a man or some in between thing. Tomboys are basically an endangered species at this point and it's really really sad. Little girls aren't climbing trees or playing in the mud. They're playing with skincare and makeup. I truly feel like I'm living in a black mirror episode and it's scary.

Sorry for the long winded rant. I'm semi crypto on main and wanted to put this out there. I dunno why I sent this to the "I want to make a milkshake out of copia's cum" account but I don't really know anyone else who gets insane anons like you do. x

i think youre right though, there is definitely a backlash against feminism right now that comes in the form of hyper femininity and capitalism.

if you dont wear makeup, youre a childish loser who needs to learn how to put on eyeliner. if you dont shave, encourage other women to not shave, youre bombarded with women with "sensory issuee" and are just as bad as a patriarchal man. if you dont like pink, you have internalized misogyny. if you say anything about how high heels damage your feet, youre shaming women. if you talk about how womens clothes are made worse than mens, just go shop in the mens section! stop doing anything, stop going against the quo, let women do what they want! dont question anything!

and in more recent years, ive been seeing the evidence of this seeping into girls younger and younger. we now have little girls begging for drunk elephant and sephora items, to shop where the adult women shop. honestly i didnt even know what drunk elephant was until i saw a girls christmas list on here. theyre spending adult with a job money on products, whether it be from saved allowances and or from their parents. i just saw a video about a 9 year old girl getting bullied for having a tumbler from walmart and not one of the expensive trendy stanley cups. there was always an issue with bullying over not having name brand but i feel like its gotten so much worse. and thats not even talking about the "skincare" aspect of it.

theres so much to say about this but they really did rebrand capitalism as being woman positive though.

Some Megami x Kaga headcanons cuz why not.

Megami is taller than Kaga. Megami is 5'9, and Kaga is 5'5.

Kaga shows the most affection. He isn't scared of showing Megami affection unless she rejects it, and then he will back off.

Megami has a hard time showing affection (holding hands, hugging, kissing, cuddling, etc). When she does do one of those things, she's quite awkward. Kaga has to take control for her to be less awkward and comfortable. He doesn't mind.

Megami gifted a sentimental object to Kaga. A silver ring with the words "I love you." carved onto it. She has it customized for Kaga to wear, and only him. It is a sign for Kaga to know that Megami did indeed love him even if she couldn't say the words to him. Kaga does wear the ring, almost everywhere (He takes it off when he's showering, or sleeping, or making a gadget, or experiment). He happily shows it off when he can.

Megami spoils Kaga a lot. Megami will buy this little man anything her money can buy. Maybe even a damn company if Kaga asks her to. I imagine Kaga having bags and bags of items that Megami bought him surrounding him and not knowing what to do with it. (He donates it though 🥺 he has a good heart)

Megami goes to celebrate holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) with Kaga and his parents. Her first Christmas, Megami bought a lot of presents for them to the point that the Christmas tree was fully surrounded and completely covered.

Kaga sometimes brushes Megami's hair before they go to bed. Kaga knows how tired Megami can be after a long day on her feet and managing Saikou Corp. He even gives her massages when she needs one.

Megami eats with Kaga every single day and keeps her eyes on him. She knows about the eating disorder Kaga developed. She wants to be there for him and get him professional help, the best there is in Japan. (The eating disorder is a handcanon I have for Kaga. I'll make a post about it)

Megami is the dominant one in the relationship and during their intimacy. 👀 Kaga doesn't mind. He loves it.

Megami actually set up an actual proposal for Kaga and brought an engagement ring as well instead of just getting married without the proposal part and ring.

Whenever Kaga gets hurt from an experiment, or an invention for Saikou Corporation, or himself, Megami would get upset (she doesn't really show it through her expression, but though her actions) and would get overprotective.

Speaking of which, Megami is scared of losing Kaga. She lost someone close to her already (her hamster), but losing Kaga would be a much bigger hit to her.

Kaga would always put himself in the shadows to let Megami shine. It's one of the reasons why he wears a lot of black clothes. It's a way to blend onto the crowd and not be seen as important. He wants Megami to shine as bright as a star. He is like her cheerleader. He is always ready to cheer for his goddess <3

Megami has this habit of picking Kaga up and carrying him to the bedroom to sleep, or just picking him up out of nowhere whenever they're alone or in their bedroom. This started when Kaga refused to go to bed while working on a new invention.

Whenever Kaga smiles (a normal smile), Megami would cherish it as much as possible and enjoys the sight of Kaga's eyes shining and his smile.

Whenever they're on their bed, Kaga will always be sketching on his notebook for new gadgets for Saikou Corporation while Megami would lean against him, waiting for him to be done, or lay down on his chest, making herself the small spoon for the mean time or just goes to sleep after some time.

Megami is the big spoon, while Kaga is the small spoon.

Megami loves Kaga's parents. She spends more time with them than her own parents.

Megami listens to Kaga's non-stop rambling. It's either during the morning or night when his rambling starts. It's the highlight of her day.

When Megami is asleep, Kaga places a peck on her cheek. She doesn't know about it... well, that's what Kaga thinks.

Whenever Megami and Kaga go out to the town, mall, anywhere public, Megami will study other couples. She would take mental notes on how the girlfriends treat their boyfriends (the good couples, though) and would take time to research as well to be the perfect girlfriend for Kaga.

When Kaga gets irrited or saddened, Megami would damand for him to tell him what happened or who did it. It's rare for Kaga to become quite negative, so Megami knows it's something serious.

Kaga takes Megami out to the town to spend time with each other and relive her stress (or they do something else for that, if you know what I mean 👀), but Kaga tries to take her to place she's never been to and try foods that her father would never allow her to eat.

When they have their children (Ichiro and Ikumi), when they are newborns, Kaga is the one taking care of them during the night while Megami rests and recovers from the birth. (Unless she wakes up and wants to help)

Kaga vists Megami in the student council room when she's alone. Shiromi is always the one catching them during their visit.

Kaga has a lot of nicknames for Megami while Megami only calls Kaga by "Kaga." "Kusha." Or "Dear."( She only calls Kaga this when they are married)

Whenever they are surrounded by people and they don't want them to listen to their conversation, they always talk to each other in a different language.

Extras (Saikou family related)

The Saikou family doesn't like Kaga. The main reasons why he's even part of the family is because of what he can improve in the Saikou Corp and the breakthroughs he was able to achieve, and the chance of giving the family genius heirs. That's it. He's a damn tool to the family.

Kencho doesn't like Kaga. Not one bit. He is the reason why Ichirou is paying more attention to Megami, especially after Kaga and Megami have the first, first-born male in the family.

Maybe in another universe, Kencho will eventually like Kaga with time and treat him like a brother, but for this universe, Kencho hates him.

I have this dark headcanon (Maybe in another universe): so, I don't know why, but sometimes I believe that Ichirou would pay someone to torture Kaga as badly as humanly possible and make him into a broken mind slave. With that, Ichirou would form Kaga into the perfect husband for Megami. However, Megami has to allow him to do it. (She wouldn't. She's not that cold-hearted.... right?)

Another dark headcanon (Maybe in another universe): As soon as Ichirou gets the genius heirs that he wants from Megami and if Kaga gets in the way of how the heirs are raised, he will hire someone to murder Kaga off, and make it seem like an accident.

I feel like Megami's mother wouldn't hate Kaga. He is showing her daughter what love is and how it feels to be in a relationship where both partners love each other. Along with letting her experience the things she couldn't because of how strict the Saikou family is. However, she doesn't get involved much in her daughter's relationship.

Kencho is not allowed to go near Kaga, or Megami, or even their children. It's Ichirou's rule. Kencho does sometimes break this rule.

I have more, and some involve the children I've made for Kaga and Megami, so I'll do that in another post.

[watchingthewatchervn]

can i have some romantic stephen hc’s/what it would be like to be in a relationship with him as well ???

sorry for the stephen questions, im obsessed with him at the moment 🥺

- 🐰🩷

It's a bit hard to give hc's without directly leading into spoilers for Stephen's route, so I hope you don't mind that I make this a SFW Alphabet!

Stephen SFW Alphabet

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Stephen isn't very expressive with his affection. That isn't to say that he doesn't show you any affection at all! He does, it's just a bit subtle. He shows his love through acts of service, such as taking on the specific chores that he knows you don't like doing, or cooking your favorite foods once you get home from work.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Stephen is kind of fatherly/brotherly?? Or like a chill manager. It's a weird combination. He doesn't really go out of his way to make friends or anything, so becoming friends with him is a bit of a wildcard, but he's more on the serious side with a hint of sarcasm.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He doesn't really initiate cuddles, but he'll never reject them- unless it's an inappropriate time for cuddles. He enjoys knowing that you want to be close to him and find comfort in the act of clinging to his body.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Absolutely wants to settle down. He grew up in a big family and was constantly around kids that were younger than him by quite a few years, so he's gotten good at being the responsible one- cooking, cleaning house, doing laundry, repairing broken items. He would love nothing more than to settle down with you and just live a happy, domestic life.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

With Stephen being on the aro spectrum, it takes a lot for him to gain romantic feelings for someone and actually want a relationship, so it would take a very serious issue for him to want to end things. If it's something bad like his partner being a bad person, it would surprise him and he would try to figure out why they were acting that way. If there isn't a rational reason for it, he would begrudgingly break things off.

Now, if it's an issue of his views and his partner's views of their relationship in the future not matching up? That breaks his heart, but he would end things on as positive as a note as he can. He refuses to ever try and persuade his partner from their wants and desires in a relationship just to fit his own.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Commitment is normal to him. If you're going to be in a relationship with someone, it usually is committed- and he would make it very clear to any partner of his that he wants it to be exclusive and committed.

Marriage is a bigger step than commitment though. It may take him some time until he feels like he's ready to be married. Not that he wouldn't love his partner enough, it's more of a security kind of thing. He wants to be sure he can provide both him and his partner the life they want before tying the knot.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Physically, he's pretty gentle. He doesn't usually initiate touch, but in the few instances he does or whenever you are cuddling with him, he holds you softly, gently pulling you closer or rubbing his hand across your shoulder.

Emotionally, he tries to be gentle but he doesn't coddle you. He isn't afraid to let you know when something's wrong and he isn't afraid to show how intensely he feels about something, but if he knows that you need a gentler approach when it comes to your emotions, he will try his best.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

He doesn't dislike hugs. Again, he isn't one to initiate physical touch, but he never rejects them, so how often he gives hugs is just as often as he gets them. His hugs are nice though! Allowing the person who hugged him to press against his front while settles his hands on their back, giving a few pats just below their shoulders.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

It takes him a bit. If you end up saying it first, it startles him a bit, not having expected them to feel that way towards him yet- but he's not unhappy. He wouldn't say it as a way to respond though. He wouldn't say it at all until he truly felt that way towards you.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

He doesn't really get jealous. If he's dating someone, he trusts them to be faithful and believes that they don't have romantic feelings for someone else while in a relationship with him.

The only time someone might get to witness a jealous Stephen is if he actively interested in someone- but not in a relationship with them- and he sees another person making a pass at them. He would be a bit grumpy about it, crossing his arms over his chest as his lips set into a firm frown. Nothing more extreme than that comes from his jealousy though.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

His kisses are slow and firm. He takes his time planting his lips where he wants them to be, putting some pressure into it to make it clear that he wants to be here.

He wants to kiss your forehead!! He loves to kiss there!! He wants to lean over and plant a little mwah!!

He likes being kissed on the cheek. Just a soft, quick peck to his cheek and he'll think about it for the rest of the day.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Having grown up as the oldest kid in a big family, he was constantly around little kids. He's really good at parenting children and calming them down.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Sleepy. His sleep schedule is terrible because of his job. He usually gets home around 3 AM, tries his best to be quiet while changing out of his uniform, before heading straight to bed. You would most likely wake up before him, met with the sight of his very tired self, dead asleep for the next couple of hours.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Again. Work. He's a bartender, his busiest hours are going to be at night. But that doesn't mean you can't come visit him! Even if you don't visit him or don't want to, he'll just send you some texts when he has the chance, just checking up on you.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

He's a very slow person when it comes to talking about himself. This isn't a trust issue or some type of denial. He just doesn't really see a need or want to talk about himself to people he isn't around all that often.

Once he starts talking about himself though, you may have to ask questions to get more information out of him, since he doesn't really mention it on his own.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

His patience is kind of incredible. He's not incapable of becoming angry, it's just a rare emotion for him. He thinks its because he grew up having to be the responsible one for his siblings and younger cousins, which built up his tolerance to being quick to anger.

More often than not, he's just grumpy.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

He doesn't talk much about himself, so you would be the one talking about yourself usually. It's because of that that he hears almost everything you say about yourself! He tries his best to remember the more important stuff, like your birthday or favorite things, but he probably does end up forgetting a few things here and there.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Any moment where it just felt...domestic. A time when he was cooking next you in the kitchen, a day where you came home from work tired and you both relaxed on the couch for the rest of the evening, an occasion where you had him help you shop for a new washing machine after yours broke.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Stephen is a bit protective. He doesn't coddle you, or treat you like a little kid, but if he can sense that a situation is distressing for you he will try to make an out for you.

He wouldn't really mind you being protective of him. It would surprise him that you were, since he's not entirely sure why you feel the need to be, but he'd just idly make a comment that it wasn't necessary and leave it at that.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

SO MUCH EFFORT. He feels so cheesy and dorky, but he wants to put so much effort into your relationship. His love language is acts of service, so taking care of the nitty gritty details to get things just right is something that he wants to do. Whether that's going through the hassle of trying to work out both of your schedules to plan a date, working out the day for multiple events on your anniversary, carefully wrapping a gift to make it look professional, or just handling the laundry before you come home so you don't have to worry about it.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Overworking. He has a terrible habit of pushing his limits of how long he works. He's on a schedule with his job, so whatever hours he has, he works them, but then when he gets home and should be taking time to relax, he always ends up trying to get everything in the house done.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Stephen isn't ignorant to his looks. He isn't too worried about them, but he is aware that in his line of work, being a handsome man is a good thing, so he takes care of his appearance casually.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

No. He doesn't think it's healthy for someone to feel incomplete without having a romantic partner- or just feeling incomplete in general by themselves.

He loves being around you, but he's always felt just fine without a relationship, so being in one doesn't really change how "complete" he feels.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

He's so nervous for you to meet his family.

He knows his family would love you! But he also knows that they are loud and kind of abrasive, so he's a bit worried how you'd feel about that.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Being cruel.

It's a normal one, but a big one for him. He refuses to be around people who are needlessly cruel.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Awful sleep schedule. He leaves for work at 5 PM and doesn't get home until 3 AM, and even when he is home, he spends the next few hours usually doing other things before he goes to bed, which is usually around 7 AM, until he wakes up again at 11 AM just to go for a run and get some exercise.

[bunnydayss]

hiiii ! i absolutely enjoyed your random skz pair hcs :)) can i request for 2min and jeonglix? only if you're taking requests !! thank you <3

╭─────────────.★.. ─────╮

✰ Requested Skz–Pair Headcannons: ✰

╰───── ..★.─────────────╯

(Please note that I do not actually ship them in real life, this is for pure fun and giggles. — It might also not be realistic lol).

Pairs included: 2Min, Jeonglix

Listen along while you read :)

————————————————————————

[ Re: ] hihi 🙌 I’m so glad you enjoyed the first part AAAAAA—requests are totally open yes, and I hope you enjoy the hcs ❤️❤️ (I’d also like to thank you for being so sweet).

————————————————————————

. . .

:: 🌿 2Min 🌿 :: ( Minho & Seungmin )

• Cat and dog dynamic, but hear me out it sometimes reverses and Minho will be the one acting like a golden retriever to a snarky Seungmin.

• Minho proposes first, no particular reason why other than he was faster to buy the ring and prepare his big moment.

• Married couple vibes, they bicker but it’s usually just pointless fighting. If an argument erupts to a somewhat significant level, Minho becomes level headed and tones down the situation with a distraction while their temper dials down. (“WELL YOU—”, “Hey, okay. Let’s take a break, and circle back. You probably haven’t eaten lunch yet right?”, “no..”, “Okay, I’ll go make something.”).

• Both are hardheaded as hell, not to mention a little petty. So it’ll either work in your favor, when they agree with you on something, or it’s your worst nightmare. (The rest of SKZ has been on the back burner of many heavily fueled arguments from 2Min).

• Teasing Minho whenever Seungmin wants affection if any kind, be it verbal, physical or anything in between. For this reason, Seungmin avoids being direct about what he wants, little does he know Minho reads right through him.

• Minnie likes to sneak a taste at whatever Minho’s cooking when he thinks he isn’t looking. (He is, and he lets it go).

• Minho got Seungmin a tiny flip-able magnet for their fridge that lets him know what he’s in the mood for. (One side says cuddly, the other says prickly). Communicating without communicating, their favorite thing.

. . .

:: 🌸 Jeonglix 🌸 :: ( Jeongin & Felix )

• If they fight it usually ends in both parties in tears, extremely sensitive to conflict. They both go their own ways to calm down but always sleep in the same bed no matter how bad the fight is. They collectively have a mindset of “you’re not going anywhere until we figure this out” and will spend an entire day talking it out if they have to.

• Felix definitely has to snatch I.N.’s devices away, in order to make sure he gets sleep. If that doesn’t work, he nags him over and over under he gives up and slightly (Jeongin would argue he doesn’t at all, but that’s just denial) cuddles Felix back.

• “Things he says when he thinks I’m asleep” trope!! Late at night, when the two are in bed, Jeongin definitely voices some thoughts he wouldn’t dare to if Felix was awake. (Yet somehow in the back of his mind, Jeongin knows Felix is listening to him, but refuses to listen to that thought).

• Felix proposes first, because of course he does—Innie had pondered on making the first move but chickened out, scared of rejection.

• Jeongin thinks Felix fell first, but everyone (including Felix) knows he’s had a soft spot for Felix ever since he met him. Jeongin both fell first and fell harder when he realized his feelings (after Felix confessed).

• Sickeningly sweet affection from Felix both excites and scares Innie, he’s not used to constant skinship, but eventually his walls crumble for Felix and for Felix **only**.

• Felix likes to hoard items from their dates (e.g. tickets from going to the movies) to remember how far they’ve come and how comfortable they’ve grown.

———————

This was a lot of fun! If you have any requests please ask away (SKZ, TXT and maybe some other groups but it depends on my familiarity with them).

P.S. Even if I’ve already done the pair you want, you can still request! (I can write more 🙌).

Don’t forget to eat and drink water :)

Voice of man reading emetwol fic again. some thoughts.

ive seen like two fics like this thus far and am beginning to suspect it may be a subgenre: WoL, in the timeline where black rose happened, is still alive for some reason and is essentially coerced into marrying emet in order to assure it is not used, all while the garlean empire is occupying like, peak wealth and status rather than slowly cannibalizing itself like a pack of miserable wolves delirious from the stress of long-term captivity.

am noticing a pattern (inasmuch as noticing the same element present twice is “noticing a pattern”) where in these fics wol is presented with like extremely desirable material goods and services but turns them down or chafes against them because they’re extensions of emet’s hospitality, and she kind of hates him. this in and of itself is kind of part of a repeated theme i see with him where he’s able to provide all sorts of material items or benefits and has no real compunctions about giving extremely lavish gifts, but in order to maintain the illusion of social propriety and lack of materialism these are usually forced on WoL rather than graciously accepted by her.

and it kind of makes me think, like, certainly i agree being materialistic is not a desirable trait, but what’s wrong with appreciating things that people offer you? i have a bunch of like…extenuating circumstances, in my case, that can make accepting generosity (especially of the material sort) difficult, because i’m an abuse victim and spent a lot of my formative years in poverty, and i think the idea that accepting gifts or wanting anything at all makes you materialist is certainly a contributing factor (interesting also how often it’s accompanied by the idea that resigning oneself to poverty is morally aspirational, something something propaganda!)

ultimately im kind of at the point where like. Reluctance in accepting gifts is real, especially in people for whom gifts were weaponized somehow or who don’t value themselves or are uncomfortable with extravagant gifts because of prior experiences with poverty or who have moral OCD about materialistic behavior or whatever else, and i don’t mind that in fiction or whatever, but i do think maybe in a more general sense shaming material desires or playing coy about them isn’t the way, either. I’ll Admit It: as a poor and disabled person, even given my difficulties around receiving or accepting gifts (depending on the person giving this can range from mild guilt to legitimate panic attacks), i would love to have nice things to wear, and an attractive and well-kept place to live, and total food security, and help with tasks of daily living, and the occasional totally useless pretty trinket. That would be awesome. why should i not want that, and why should i not entertain a fantasy where a loving and safe person can provide those things to me out of a simple desire to see me be well, without coercion or abuse involved?

and yes, like, I do understand that in the case of fic about emet and garlemald those are all certainly ill-gotten gains, but the framing is almost always like UGH, MY GILDED CAGE! i GUESS i’ll eat this delicious food and wear this beautiful dress and sleep in this wonderfully appointed safe and warm shelter :/ as opposed to like Wow, this is the luxury he’s killing the world for!, so im fairly sure that is not the reason for the heroine-as-extension-of-author’s rejection of said wealth

like idk just. Having people who are eager to do nice stuff for me and trying to balance my weird neuroses with not wanting to let them down is starting to highlight for me not only the flaws in them but the way i think typical platitudes about materialism are in effect less often used to chide the economically comfortable and more often used to dissuade the poor from wanting to like, escape the hand-to-mouth living and exploitation that comes with being part of the have-not underclass in society

[newsie-collective]

Romeo

Quickfire Favorites

Food: “Tha kin ya can eat”

Color: “Blue n red lik me socks”

Season: “Winter, I lik tha snow n it givs me a excuse ta cuddl”

Weather: “Snow duh”

Hobby: “Flirtin if tha count, n pickin up trinkets fo Fin”

Animal: “crows”

Memory: “Watchin Fin sav a baby boid. Him kept it warm in him pocket, was real cute”

Comfort Item: “Ion really got one les Fin count. Him giv good cuddles, speshully wen ya uset”

He gets his nickname as a nod to Romeo from Romeo and Juliet because he gets puppy crushes. He didn’t know why he had this nickname until someone read the book to him.

Fin quotes the line from the play (Romeo Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo) to call for Romeo which makes him smile and his tummy “feel weird n warm n happy”

Romeo has had a crush on pretty much every newsie at some point (and also Darcy and Bill). His current one is on Finch and this one had lasted a lot longer. He had had a crush on Finch before, it seems he always comes back to them. He says it feels different this time, much stronger. He says it gets stronger every time he gets “pulled back” to Finch

Speaking of books, Romeo cannot read.

Romeo can’t read so he really likes movies and video games. When he does watch/play he puts the captions on. It’s his way of trying to teach himself because he’s embarrassed by it.

English is also not his first language which is part of why reading is hard for him

He likes it when people read books to him, but he doesn’t ask for it often because he’s self conscious about not being able to read himself. His favorites, of course, fantasy books with romance (think knight in shining armor and princess)

Romeo does not know his parents. If he tries hard he can sort of recall what his mother’s voice sounded like, but it is all very distant memories. He was in and out of different orphanages. He was supposed to be on the orphan train to some farmer out in the midwest, but instead ran away from the orphanage to join the newsies. New York was all he had known and he didn’t like the idea of moving away

While in the orphanages Romeo was the runt of the litter so to speak. Part of the reason he is so small is because of the overcrowding and the horrible conditions. He was in a crib for way too long and of course never had a bed to himself. He was always last to be fed and sometimes would not get food at all. He was often picked on by both kids and grownups because of the way he looked. 

Romeo has vitiligo. It’s most obvious on his skin, but he does a few sections of hair that have also lost pigment

When his vitiligo started getting worse he was often called a cow or other mean names. He��s very insecure about his vitiligo because of it. He often uses makeup or dirt to hide it. 

Romeo flip flops between thinking he’s hot shit and worrying that he’s being too annoying and that everyone secretly hates him

He tends to pick up interests from other people, especially the ones he likes, because he wants to be able to relate to them. So, for example, he got really into rocks when he first crushed on Finch. When he was hanging out with Jack he tried to learn how to paint, etc etc.

He likes blue and socks with funky patterns

He tries to seem like nothing bothers him and that he can go with the flow, but it’s a cover up for how insecure he is. Because he crushes so easily he has had his fair share in heartbreak. And while he says everything is all good each time he was rejected stung more than the last. Because of this part of him believes he’s not good enough for anyone

He would absolutely wear a dress, but he’s too shy and would never admit it

Romeo is touch starved and craves physical intimacy. Not necessarily in a sexual way, he is perfectly happy with cuddles and kisses. He just craves feeling close with someone. As his name suggests he is a romantic at heart and he really wants to be able to have something like what he sees in the movies

He has a scar on his forehead under his hair from when he got hit with the baton by the police during the strike

Finch. This boy is fuckin obsessed with him. Absolutely head over heels in love

Romeo pictures Finch as a crow because “him smat n him lik ta pick up shiny thins”

Romeo referred to Finch as his songbird once and now all the newsies tease him for it

Finch makes Romeo feel safe and Finch is the one he will go to when he feels insecure or anxious

Why are the ED blogs so dainty and pink?

Listen, bubba I'm (10 years) recovered so I'm always disturbed when I like "Ana Adjacent" things. But I will always like pink things and innocent things. Always.

And I'm just wondering why there is an intersection? There was a good post about this last week, iridessence talking about how annoyed she was that she was seeing follows and content from ED blogs.

When I was trying to get better I read a lot of books about EDs, there are many crazy theories about how they operate. I found most of them... very silly. Things like "Girls develop eating disorders due to poor relationships with their father and too much attachment to their mother." The kind of stuff that might be true for a few people but hardly explains the larger problem. And most of them were condescending in a way that I find hard to articulate.

(My personal theory is that people get EDs because they want to be thin, because we live in a very fatphobic culture, and in order to get thin people go on diets and fasts. Diets mess with brain chemistry. A maladaptive loop emerges of self hate, binging and purging, starving to extreme and the ability to see yourself reasonably dissolves. It's hell. I don't think we need any theories about wanting to kill your mother and marry yer dad or whatever. ANYWAYS )

In one of these books that tried to explain EDs I distinctly remember the man who wrote it writing with some contempt about the tendency of his anorexic patients to have an affinity for clothing, decorations and objects with an innocent girly aesthetic. He decided this was "a rejection of adult female sexuality and regression" and he suggested taking such items away since they were just another way of expressing the disorder which he viewed as an attempt to peterpan your way out of adulthood.

As much as this smelled of BS it stuck in my mind. And I guess there is a part of me, the part very invested in being RECOVERED that worries that it's some little flaw or failure that I get so excited over pink ribbons. Or soft angora sweaters... That I feel most comfortable when I feel plain an innocent and maybe just a little basic.

Then I remember some of the other crap that same guy wrote and totally reject the idea. Because I like pink things because I hate how so many people reject them. I hate how they are seen as smaller and less than ... for babies. Why should that be the case?

Why can't I be a menace in lace and pale pink?

IDK if there are other recovered people knocking around... but does anyone else have... thoughts on this?

Pardon the time at which I'm sending things. 🌿 and 🌺 (it's hibiscus for real this time!!!) for Adelaide, 🍂 for Aria, and 🌻 for Ty?

Hibiscus... we meet again.

Adelaide:

🌿 What way does your OC show that they care without using words? What way do others show your OC that they’re cared about without using speech?

Adelaide isn't great at connecting with others through words in the first place so I feel like she adapted to this by becoming a very attentive listener. Even though her demeanor is rather intimidating from the outset, the few that are close to her or know her well find it very easy to come to her and talk about their problems and she will surprisingly, given her authoritarian stance on most things, listen without interjecting value judgments or trying to inject herself into the issue unless they ask her to. Notable that this only really applies to people she considers herself to be friends with or quite close to and not injecting herself into the issue is something that became harder for her to do after spending a lot of time as the ruler of The Stolen Lands.

People close to her often find her quite difficult because she becomes rather irritable when she notices people trying to force a conversation where there really isn't any need for one. One of the reasons she likes Ekun so much is that the two of them can stew in comfortable silence together Kanerah is probably the companion who knows her best and will often times hold her hand or just sit close to her while she's working or contemplating.

🌺 What does your OC do to calm down when they’re scared or after a nightmare? Do they have any special comfort items or need to be reassured by a specific person? How do they handle this if they’re alone?

She's not one to be easily shaken but when Adelaide does feel frightened she almost always and perhaps predictably latches on to Shardik. He is large, soft and unyielding and there is a certain comfort in the fact that something she raised up from being small and helpless can now protect her when she feels that way. Without him there I would imagine it would be very difficult for her to steel herself. He's almost always right beside her so she has become inadvertently become rather reliant on him in a similar way he is reliant on her.

ARIA:

🍂 Does your OC enjoy hugs? What do they do as a show of affection for: their friends, their family, their significant other(s) or for strangers? Over all what are they like with recieving affection from others?

If someone tried to hug Aria, I feel like her first instinct would be to scratch, kick, bite and punch because she has rather severe intimacy issues. But I also feel like actually getting one while she was in a particularly vulnerable position would be insanely comforting to her. She would probably reject it at first and then end up melting into it. When it comes to showing affection, I'm actually not 100% sure how she does this yet! When Lumi got hurt in the yuri mansion because of the trap she tripped over, Aria bought her the unlife potion but didn't want her to know she did it, similarly when Lumi opened up about feeling homesick, Aria offered to take her to some authentic Ustalav cuisine but framed it in a "yeah, whatever, I'm bored anyway" sort of way so I feel like she actually has a considerable amount of empathy and tries to help but doesn't feel at all comfortable being vulnerable enough to be open about. When it comes to receiving affection I think she struggles to make herself vulnerable enough to receive it but part of her is starved for the positive feedback and intimacy that she almost never receives because she's just so prickly...

TYREL:

🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?

Tyrel tends to have an easy time reading people, whether it's their face or body language, he's very perceptive so he notices a lot! I think one of the big changes he felt after being promoted to KC is the borderline devout respect he got from many of the same types of people who would have chased him off before. It's really the first time in his life that people haven't looked at him like a scumbag and he revels in it.

#oc asks #outeremissary #oc: tyrel #oc: aria #oc: adelaide #will be getting around to the other asks soon!

A healthy environment for your human.

So, you want to have a {pet} human, do you? The first thing you'll need is a safe and stimulating environment that they can live in.

The first important factor to think about before purchase or adoption is whether you are capable of sustaining two humans at a time. Humans are social animals and do not thrive without another to become friends with. If you have a small {house} then you should reconsider this purchase and perhaps get a smaller Earthling animal or an animal of appropriate size from your own planet etc.

Luckily, a lot of the more scientific considerations have likely already been done for you - otherwise your planet would not allow the use of humans as {pets}. So no need to start measuring gravity or oxygen levels {lol}. Without further delay, here are my professional recommendations:

Space: Domestic Homo Sapians, aka humans, are fiercely loyal creatures and once {potty trained/house broken} can be fully trusted in most {houses} without the need of a pen. Although the infants can be destructive, many resources for reflective behaviour training are available.

If you cannot for your safety or theirs have your humans roaming your {house} then the standard human pen for one human should be {28ft by 32ft} with thrice daily exercise routines outside of the pen. A human can grow to over {6ft} so please be aware of this. For each human in the pen, add half of the standard size. If your {home} is not large enough for this pen requirement or able to meet it with a free roaming human consider a different {pet}. The less space, the more time outside of the pen a human will need.

A standard pen should contain a bed per human, a private place where they can void their bowels without observation, a place to eat and consume {water}, soft items to sit and relax upon and several items of stimulation.

Without this area and attributes, the health and longetivity of your human cannot be guaranteed. Space less than {12ft by 16ft} with no outside time will be considered abusive and will result in the human being seized and a ban being put on your {pet ownership}. Bedding: Humans are vertebrates, and require specific types of bedding in order to maintain their skeletal health. Your local {pet shop} should have options for human beds in multiple sizes. Check that the bed is soft to the touch and slightly yields when pressed upon. It should include a bottom layer of padding and a thinner layer for covering. Humans love to burrow under the outer layers for warmth and usually rest their heads upon smaller squares of plush for comfort reasons. {Untranslatable material} and {untranslatable material} are often used as stuffing as they are human safe and generally do not cause allegic reactions. Infants may urinate in their beds until properly trained, however if you are not a breeder, your human should already be fully {potty trained/house broken} before it becomes your {pet}. If your human urinates the bed for whatever reason, a full series of disinfection using safe cleaning materials should be done before the human is allowed to sleep on it again. For health reasons, a human should sleep up to {8 hours} at a time, though some will sleep longer or shorter. If your human exceeds {10 hours} or gets fewer than {5 hours} every day it may need to be taken to a {vet/doctor}. Humans are dinural, so will sleep generally when there is a lack of natural light. Some however may take shorter sleep cycles during {the day} which should not be considered concerning unless frequent and identified alongside other worrying symptoms of human ill health. Nutrition: Humans are omnivores though it's not unusual to see them reject certain kinds of food. However, this does not mean that your human can simply eat anything or be restricted by you to align with your moral standings. It is vital that you check with your own planets {pet} directory for edible plants and meats for humans. I will always recommend fresh produce over canned or bagged foodstuff, as humans will often become listeless and lose appetite when given a restricted variety of food.

25% of their diet should be {protein}, 25% {fibre-rich carbohydrates}, 40% {fruit and vegetables} and 10% {fats}.

Humans can become quickly addicted to foodstuffs which contain a high amount of {sugar}, so these should only be given in any form as a treat and no more than once or twice a {week} if that.

Humans should have a constant supply of {water} available. Stimulation: A bored human is a human at risk of engaging in self injurous behaviours, mental unwellness, lowered immune system and decreased motor activity. Ideally, your human should have items without your {house} or it's pen that are its own and provide gross and fine motor skill manipulation chances. Humans intellect is actually quite advanced compared with most {pet} species and especially amongst other Earthling animals.

They especially enjoy puzzle-solving, playing with {balls}, climbing, taking turns chasing or hiding from each other, running, making marks (some humans even produce recognisable images this way!), vocalising to music, spinning, play wrestling, watching {tv}, creating imaginative scenes with replicas of humans or known creatures, building structures out of {blocks of wood} and similar human safe materials, listening to {music} and observing items of beauty. Exercise activities also provide a lot of stimulation.

Your local {pet shop} should have a variety of toys for your human. Please only purchase goods intended for humans or at a push, other {apes} with size altered for human reach and strength. Socialisation: As mentioned, humans are social animals. Though they each have their own personalities and some may require less social stimulation that others, it is always recommended to keep two humans together.

Humans generally enjoy exploring new places, especially different biomes and will do so physically where allowed. This means you must keep your human on a {leash} in any place where injury is likely to occur from their curiosity.

Meeting with other humans regularly for paired humans isn't necessary but can improve your humans mood and mental health. Single humans should ideally find time to vocalise and interarct with other humans where possible. Even just being able to engage in stimulation alongside other humans can be beneficial. Exercise: Walking with your human is a primary source of exercise. Climbing, running and lifting heavy objects is also commonly used to maintain health. Exercise releases {endorphins} for your human, can help keep maintain their physique, muscle strength, lung strength, blood flow and mental wellness.

They also enjoy chasing, kicking, throwing and other engagements with {balls} and {discs}. They will often do this in groups and play wrestling is not uncommon. Please note that drawing of blood or creation of {bruises} is no longer playfighting and the humans will need to be split for safety. Humans love to climb, jump and swing. There are even now dedicated environments being created for safely pursuing these natural instincts. Check to see if one is in your local area or consider {trees} and {rocks} and {low structures}. Hygiene: Humans will self groom if taught to do so. Generally the {parents} or {breeder} will do this. If given access to a {bath} and {soap} they should clean themselves. {Bath water} should be kept no hotter than {37 degrees Celsius} as standard. A {hair brush} and {tooth brush and tooth paste} can also be provided in their pen or wherever they sleep in your {house} for maintainence of fur and teeth.

Cutely, humans will also often groom each other! This is quite the delight to watch. Humans are generally quite clean as a species and lack of cleaning could indicate that your human needs to be seen by a {vet}.

Every human should be given a designated area to drop waste, which many enjoy to do in private if possible. Waste must be disposed of via your planet and/or {countries} general guidelines.

Temperature: Humans are {warm blooded} and maintain a healthy internal temperature of {98.6°F/37°C} with minor fluctuations. A rise or drop of {5 or more degrees C} may indicate illness, or an inproperly heated/ventilated living space.

Humans can survive in hotter and colder temperatures than their core, but will generally feel negative effects from prolonged exposure to such. {Clothing} can help to protect them against the elements of your planet and/or {country} but there are limits.

Generally speaking, if where you live has an average temperature consistently approaching and/or exceeding {32°C} or approaching and/or below {0°C} you may need to either make a lot of adjustments for your human or consider another pet entirely. Failure to understand these requirements and requirements that humans have for breathing and gravitational pressure is a pangalatic offence. In other words, it's really not worth risking getting in trouble.
