opinion on ffxv after 75 hours of playing (and one hour of running in circles to level gladio's skill up) (still haven't played any of the dlcs but i'm gonna take a break or something for a few days because i severely neglected my university stuff and spent most of the last week obsessively playing this game)

i love this game. am i tired? hell yeah. would i want all these hours back? hell no.

the game is a mystery to me.

the sidequests are genshin impact open world quests level (which means that if i hear anyone talking, i'm pressing the skip button because i don't give a fuck). you listen to someone yapping about unimportant stuff and they make you collect the same shit over and over again. peak game design.

the main quests are good but the ending made me age 10 years in a week. there's NO NEED for these tragedies. boy you literally have the power of gods on your side and they tell you the only way to get rid of the big bad villain is to kill yourself? sounds like bullshit to me. also why even bother if there's only a few thousands people left in the world. you already lost, all this stuff had to be done 10 years ago to have any meaning. and there's no way the world didn't just implode or something when the sun stopped rising. the true ending is noctis getting spat out of the crystal and realising everyone is long gone because there's no sunlight.

the mentally ill hobo could have been more cooperative too geez. i'll be honest i like him much more than the six. and everyone's like "oh gods are helping you" no they hate me and want me to die for no reason. i'd rather join forces with ardyn and try to take them down. even if he did a lot of questionable stuff (cough- killed my bride -cough-cough- and her brother -cough- also kidnapped my friend and tortured him-)

the hunts are kinda fun when it's a big monster but when it's a bunch of goblins i'm like,,, why did you call me here? ngl i thought all hunts would be like the first one, it was truly cool. there was some kind of plot, some interactions with my friends, some stealth, the monster seemed really tough (meanwhile me, fighting the lvl 99 adamantoise 65 hours later: the ring of lucii go brrr-)

the dungeons are ass. i thought nothing could be as disorienting as daggerfall's randomly generated dungeons but they really managed to do a miracle with ffxv. although the dungeons in ffxv are not scary at all, that's the difference.

the open world is okay. there're some interesting places (when you first see the big mysterious creature in the lake you're like do i have to fight it?? can i get closer to it?? what is this??) and the nature is beautiful. altissia looks majestic but sadly there's not much to do. i appreciate the hard work tho.

using regalia was a delight. when you want to take a break and just look at the landscape you can just sit still with a controller in your hands and enjoy the ride. really therapeutic. don't drive at night when you're low level though... listen to ignis. ignis is always right.

the camp life is by far the best out of all games i've had an experience with. there's so many little details everywhere that you cannot help but adore your companions. it's the way every time you make camp you get a bunch of photos prompto took since the last break. it's the way your companions talk to you almost all the time and you truly feel like you are on a road trip with your friends. it's the way gladio calls you out on your bullshit and afterwards you want to bite his head off each time you talk to him. it's the way ignis cooks for the entire party and makes you help him sometimes. i just love the way friendship is portrayed here.

what was not as good is luna and noct's relationship. there was not enough of luna. yes she loves noct but why? yes noct loves luna but why? luna literally appeared in the plot for two minutes and then tragically died. i think it's really bad. also imagine not seeing your bride for 12 years, when you finally meet her again she immediately dies, then you spend 10 years trapped in a crystal, fucking die and then get to marry your bride. honey it's been 22 years since i last talked to you in person. i'm NOT marrying a random woman in the afterlife (no hate for luna, just this love story didn't seem convincing enough). hopefully i'm gonna see what they wrote in the dawn of the future soon (please pray so that my amazon package doesn't get lost 🙏)

the music is incredible. the woman who wrote the soundtrack is my goddess and i am a devout worshipper 🙏🙏🙏

so, why is the game a mystery to me? because no other game could make me endure 75 hours of boring side quests. i managed to play hogwarts legacy for 44 hours and i despised that game when i finished it. i despised it long before i finished it. but not ffxv. they could make me do all this boring stuff again and i would do it (not for free tho because i've got better things to do with my time 🤣)

i enjoyed ffxv a lot. it also made me depressed for a week because ending a game like that should be a crime. i think i'm gonna do a few last quests after that but there's not much left (and i'm not looking for more because if i think i am done then i am done). not sure how long episodes gladiolus, prompto and ignis are gonna take, but they're also in my plans (no ardyn tho, gotta go watch some playthrough). there's also anime and a film so plenty of content for me. and i am waiting for the arrival of my book 🫡

(noticed that there's nothing about the combat. well it's because i don't care. i don't like combat. i don't like it in any game. i prefer to flee)

Personal stuff under the cut

TW body image issues

TLDR: Someone asked if I was pregnant today - I'm not, I just carry my weight in my midsection. This is the spiral that ensued.

Soooo today was fun. Aside from it being kind of a crazy day at work (seriously how is it only Tuesday?!), I had a bit of a rough encounter that has stayed with me all day. Normally, I wouldn't share something like this so openly. I may end up deleting this, but writing has helped me process things before so why not do it with this, right?

Earlier today I was talking with someone at work. It was our first time meeting in person. We were making small talk before heading into our meeting and as we walked to the room she turned to me and motioned to my stomach with a smile and mouthed, "Oh my gosh, are you pregnant?" I quickly shook my head and I could tell she instantly felt terrible. I don't have any ill will towards this person, I know she didn't mean any harm by it, but it's just annoying that people feel it is ok to comment on another person's body.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me in my life and usually, my first reaction is to try and not make the other person feel bad or awkward (although there have been a few times I've clapped back). But, on the whole, I'm not one for confrontation and want to just move past it and not acknowledge it, which is what I did here. I switched the subject and she didn't say anything else about it.

This particular encounter has really stung. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and have only recently started to process how images and media from early on in my life really affected me. Like I remember being in middle school drinking Slim Fast or being in high school and substituting two meals a day for some Special K cereal.... seriously what the fuck?!

While I always struggled, I still managed to work out. When I moved to Florida I took up running and actually got pretty fit (for me). I felt strong and loved being active. It was a fun activity my husband and I would do together.

Then I got pregnant. I stayed really active during my pregnancy, heck, I was walking around Disney at eight months pregnant! I had to have an unexpected C-section which really threw my body for a loop (on top of being given a newborn and trying to figure out breastfeeding).

Anyways, it's been two years and the last two years have been hard. I've struggled on and off with some postpartum blues and just general anxiety which leaves me feeling really overwhelmed a lot of times and my physical health has taken a back seat. As a result, I have put on some weight (which adds stress, it's a never-ending cycle).

I know I'm rambling but the comment today really hit home because I know I've gained weight, I know my clothes don't fit the same (or at all), and that makes me sad. Not because I want to conform to someone else's expectations or vision. It's because I know I feel better when I'm active and I miss it.

My immediate reaction today was to do something on both ends of the spectrum related to pretty negative eating-related behavior. (Which I didn't do). I mostly just wanted to leave work and go cry in my car. In the past, comments like this have spurned me on to try and lose weight or eat healthier, but today it left me feeling really defeated.

Again, I'm not sure where I'm going with this so if you've made it this far...thanks. At the end of the day, I just want to be a healthy role model for my daughter. I've modeled some pretty unhealthy behaviors and negative self-talk thanks to my mom and family (is it just a Hispanic thing for people to constantly tell you you've gained weight when they see you?). I don't want to pass that along to her and I'm thankful there is much more body positivity now.

Thanks for letting me vent. This was a bit therapeutic. And thank you to those who helped put a smile on my face today, it was greatly needed.

XOXO

I've been in nursing school for a year now, and the stress of everything has been seriously wearing me down. After nearly 4 months in clinical being made to feel like an idiot, I find myself doubting my choices more often than not. But then I'll have an interaction with a patient at just the right time to remind me exactly why I'm here, suffering through his god-awful program.

A few weeks ago, a patient my age came in, massive trauma victim. She'd been camping in the mountains for a few days when she crashed an ATV. Honestly, she's lucky to be alive. Her friends had to run 2 miles through the wilderness to get to a payphone and call for help. She'd spent a week in the hospital by the time I met her, when she'd finally asked someone if there was any way we could wash her hair.

The normal system we use is these shower caps that have soap in them, and they're awful. Especially when you have thick, curly hair that's almost down to your waist. Walking into that room, seeing this poor kid who could barely move due to her injuries, my heart just broke. Her hair was so dirty after almost 2 weeks without a proper shower that it looked wet from where I was standing in the door.

Together with another nurse tech, we managed to improvise and figure out how to get her hair washed. The beds aren't made for it, we don't have the equipment for it, and like I said she could barely move. But we made it work. I spent probably an hour and a half carefully washing and combing through her hair with nothing more than a regular barber's comb, until it was completely clean and tangle free, and braided it after so it could stay that way.

Just this week I was able to help another young woman that I wasn't assigned to. I didn't know anything about her situation, but I overheard another of my classmates (her assigned student) tell the nurse tech that she needed help and didn't want him to do it. The nurse tech essentially told him it wasn't her responsibility to accommodate that, she was too busy, and the patient needed to either accept his help or get over it. I overhead, and stepped in to see what was wrong.

When I got to the room, the patient was crying and hyperventilating, couldn't tell me what was going on, and looked overall distraught. I was able to just sit with her for a few minutes to calm her down, find out what was wrong. She was hot and sweaty, needed a new gown/sheets. Understandable, no problem. I went and got the stuff, brought her a cold drink and a fan, got her changed, etc. The whole time she kept apologizing because she didn't know what was wrong with her, she wasn't usually like that, she didn't have anything against the guys it was just too much...

The whole time, that nurse tech from before was with me, too. Despite telling my classmate she didn't have time to deal with it, she almost immediately followed me into the room, kept trying to take over what I was doing, all while looking incredibly frustrated with the patient. Making her feel even worse. Once we were done I got the tech to leave so I could talk with the patient, let her know it's okay, that she was just overwhelmed and it's understandable. I reassured her that we're there to take care of her, she deserves to feel safe and taken care of in the hospital. The whole time, she didn't feel comfortable asking for anything else because of how she was treated before me.

Nursing school focuses on building a therapeutic relationship with patients. We need them to trust us and believe they'll be taken care of. It's easy to say you chose health care because you want to help people, but it's also really easy to lose that compassion. Sometimes you don't realize you're doing it. I don't blame that nurse tech, she really was busy. And when you're a working nurse with multiple patients to care for, you don't always have the time to spend an hour or two washing someone's hair, or handling their emotional breakdown with patience. But I think too often, people don't even try.

These relationship's with patients are exactly what's getting me through the misery of nursing school. I'm not out there curing anyone right now, but I know I'm having a positive impact in people's lives. I'm doing my best to show that you can still trust that when you're in the hospital, during one of the most vulnerable times in your life, someone will be there to take care of you and care for you.

I've worked in health care for two and a half years now. My philosophy has always been to maintain patient dignity above all else. It's so easy to forget the person lying in that bed is still a person, and not just a patient, or a set of tasks that have to get done at a certain time. You can't let yourself forget the care in healthcare.

#cookie speaks #im feeling emotional today #i truly do love nursing #it's hard and unglamorous and at times disgusting #but it's such an important job #just extending a little bit of kindness can change someone's life #it's not only about making sure someone stays live #you have to help them thrive too #and that's the best part of my work #THAT is how i want to help people #I don't care how shitty of a day I've had #the second I walk into that room it's sunshine and rainbows #i spent most of my last clinical trying not to cry over my breakup #but like hell was that going to impact my patient care #when you go into healthcare you agree to leave your personal issues at the door

I really thought you would have a better defense against pedophilia besides “it’s free speech!!!” You make smut content that is supposed to be titillating about child characters. This isn’t some puritanical outrage at the idea of teenagers having sex, it’s about you making pornographic content about child characters

"This isn't some puritanical outrage at the idea of teenagers having sex"

That's exactly what it is.

She's a teenager. Or is she a child? You seem very confused about that, but I'm not. Late teens/adolescents are not children. Young adults are not children, and some young adults mature far faster, no matter how much the greater internet conscience wants to misinterpret adolescent neurological development studies. The fictional character of (AB) Wednesday is the example of how it can happen earlier than the average.

She is an adolescent/young adult who is far different than you or I could hope to be, who is attracted to middle-aged men. A mesophile. I've stated this time and time again. You think they don't exist? They damn well do, because I was one of them, and thankfully I didn't grow up in a shitty, puritanical environment where I was told whose dick I could sit on once I came of age in my state (and in my state, that age was 16). I had great sex with older men with no regrets to this day. Back then I wasn't about to let anyone tell me what I could do with my body/who I could sleep with, so I'll be damned if I let some anonadouche who can't tell if they're talking about a pre-pubescent child (which is what peds are attracted to) or a late adolescent tell me what to write about today, 30+ years later.🖕🏼🫠🖕🏼 (BTW, thank you very much for ignoring the main reason why I write what I write and latching onto the 1A thought. I know it's beyond your comprehension how or why a grade schooler would be writing smut...pretty raunchy shit, too...but I don't expect you, or anyone, to understand.)

I have to wonder, if I were Wednesday's age today, and I wrote the exact same things I'm writing, whether you'd turn on that same hat and chastise me to indoctrinate me into what is 'right and wrong' to you, to make sure I conform to your standards of proper morality. Because as I told y'all before, I've been writing this stuff since childhood.

However, you should understand that there are some people who write the dark stuff because it's therapeutic to them, and it's a way for them to reclaim power over that which traumatized them. WRITING about those things would be the most logical and easiest thing to do, since there are laws against visual porn (obvs). I've run into such writers over the years, and that's only part of the reason why I don't go anonymously screaming at people who write rape (which happened to me, in college, by a peer, not one of my older boyfriends) or other non-con type fics, or anything else that I don't like reading. It's pretty simple, the trick to avoid what you don't like in fiction. I wonder what that could be.

Go bother the Stranger Things creeps on AO3. Those are the authors you should be bitching to.

So I've never written out my thoughts like this as I'm reading a fic but this was so over the top amazing that I HAD to...I debated just reblogging with these things but spoilers...and also I wanted to be sure you saw it...I hope this was okay ❤️

"It takes courage to build ladders for people who might one day outclimb you."

This sentence stopped me in my tracks. I reread it a bunch if times. This is so profound and beautiful. I wrote it down in my journal..i hope you don't mind.

"when you slink covertly into therapist mode like a water moccasin weaves through swamps, subtle ripples in the muddied water and vigilant eyes."

Gorgeous writing. Beautiful imagery.

“ No, fuck the coyness that women are supposed to cloak themselves in to preserve their worth. You’re waiting for him to kiss you like someone drowning waits for a gasp of air."

Can I just fangirl over these two sentences. The first sentence...YES. ALL THE YES. The second sentence. SAME girl SAME.

“So.” You hesitate. “Aemond.”

“Yes, I’m familiar with the concept.”

Hilarious response from Aegon. Hilarious. This is why I want him to be my bestie.

“He’s insecure. Very insecure, though he’s learned how to hide it.”

This is giving me One Direction "what makes you Beautiful" and I love it.

I loved the entire interaction between our girl and Aegon in her room. Just seeing that friendship and how he does care about her. Beautiful.

Aemond coming to get her when the fire alarms are going off? Gahh what a gentleman! And then giving her the hoodie and telling her to keep it?!

The entire fire bit with Aegon was pure comedic gold. And LUKE fighting FOR Aemond. So therapeutic!

“No, you could use some more of it, you could use a lot more, you have so many demons it’s like Paranormal Activity in your brain, they’re in there all day tearing things off the walls and kicking over chairs and sabotaging anything you dare to care about and you let them!”

This entire scene broke my heart, but holy crap the imagery. GENIUS. so freaking genius. Amazing writing, love.

I so hope that Aegon talks some sense into Aemond soon. I don't want these two souls apart for long. I don't know what Stargirl's past really is, but I feel like she needs him as much as he needs her. So excited to see what you have planned for them all!

OH! AND I adored how she called out Jace on the plane. He is the WORST in this and I'm enjoying hating him...

MISS KATE!!! 😭 I cannot even express to you how happy this made me! I was smiling MASSIVELY the whole time I was reading it. 🥰 This is the stuff writers live for, so thank you so much for taking the time to share it.

Sometimes lines of dialogue/description will pop into my head randomly and I'll think "...Is this good or is this too weird? Will people get it?" and to see someone pick out the exact same snippets and connect with them...it's just priceless. 💜

I absolutely cannot wait to show you what's next for Stargirl, Aemond, Aegon, (evil!) Jace, and the rest of the Comet fam! ☄️

"I don't know what Stargirl's past really is, but I feel like she needs him as much as he needs her." 👀👀👀

I'm so thankful it's a new day. I had a really rough night. Chris and I talked for awhile and I was able to communicate my problems, which, I hope we're heard. I love that man more than life itself and everything will be okay.

I'm exhausted but I got up at 4:30 anyways because I couldn't finish laundry last night and Ellie was out of clean school uniforms. I have so much laundry to catch up on. If I ever get it all washed I'll never want to fold it.

This will be my first Marijuana free day in a long while. I felt pretty good barely smoking yesterday so maybe I can feel good today too. I need the adhd medication if I want my life to improve. So I'm exercising all of my willpower to pass a drug test next month. 🙃 I'm a little grumpy because I genuinely love to smoke, and I hate when people tell me what I can and can't do... at least my doctor was nice about it.

I'm going to try to enjoy healthy things instead of smoking weed like I typically do to relax. I've been planning some therapeutic stuff to try at home. I think the main bit is a healthy life style so i feel better overall. Hopefully soon I'm going to order some mental health workbooks and aromatherapy balms so I get my chill on. I feel good about it just need to do it.

journaling is actually useful.

I've been doing it for a while. Not everyday, just on important occasions. For me it is not the kind of "three things I love about myself" things. I do it to get feelings out of myself bc I'm not the type of person who likes to talk about everything. I'm more of an inwards person. My thoughts are mine, and I don't really like sharing the deep stuff.

The last two years have been a bit difficult in my family bc of several heath related problems. People are constantly telling me to speak with anyone, friends, family... and I do, more or less. Probably not deep enough.

However, when I write it down on my little notebook (past midnight, when everybody is asleep), I feel so much better

Yesterday, as I was writing things down I discovered sth. I found out I was actually angry. I had not even thought about the possibility of being angry. With complicated feelings I tend to shut them down. Evade them. Just to feel numb. And then, when I was writing it it just happened.

It is actually therapeutic, and it does work.

(btw the image is blurry on purpose)

Bestie I had to search my email for the answer to the personality quiz because i took it YEARS ago lol The email said INFJ-T but then I decided to take it again because I think i have changed a bit since then lol The one I took today, i got INFP-T which is the "mediator". I think in some ways most teachers having an extroverted personality makes sense in my head lol In my head it also makes sense that might would be an ambivert but then again idk lol And i Use to LOVE those buzzfeed quizzes! I have a vivid memory of taking those quizzes with friends on the school bus ride back home in middle school lol

Your bf may have a point bc it's pretty common that when parents want to be "friends" instead of "parents" with their kids it mainly stems from other issues which then their kids are exposed to that. BUT I AM IN NO WAY DISSING YOUR MOM! literally being a parent is hard and that's just a generalization and very simplified version from what i've studied!

It's okay! I dont think any less of you or anything negative like that! Some people just don't get too much exposure with other cultures and that's okay as long as you are respectful, questions are always good to ask! Especially with Latinx/Hispanic cultures, they often get clumped together but there's a lot of diversity within those too! Ngl i BAWLED my eyes out Coco when it came out and I saw it in theaters with my parents and they cried too lol But its a yearly rewatch just to cry lol especially since my family actually celebrates the day of the dead it's in some ways therapeutic lol and I've never seen Encanto but i have seen clips and generational trauma is REAL so i understand how people found it so appealing, plus the songs were catchy lol And don't worry about unloading! At least for me, if it got too much I would tell you and I feel comfortable to do so because I know you wouldn't do anything with negative intention!

i will be SAT when you get to TA Harry! my TA is just SO AHHH like idk something about his vibe is something! Like he exudes confidence but not in a way where he's a jerk! plus bestie... HE HAS A SLEEVE OF TATTOOS! he wore a short sleeve today and ugh😵‍💫 I was going crazy in my head! i HIGHLY recommend going to a drag show! i love the drag scene! I think you would probably enjoy a nice drag brunch since those are mainly not in clubs or late at night lol But i do get not wanting to do too much when it's not needed lol like I DONT BLAME YOU!

BAHAH A COUPON! i kind of love thinking of it like that now! And my week is going okay! I went to the bookstore on campus today and got one of those "blind date" with a book so that was fun! I hope your week is going good!! ILY SO MUCH!! thank you for always taking the time to read my messages and responding 😭-💜

I so had a feeling we'd be similar!!! INFJ/INFP either way. I know there's a distinction but four out of five is pretty normal.

No my mom is def one of my best friends and that comes with good and bad. My mom relies heavily on me emotionally and kind of physically. My dad's in rough shape and my sister is also one of my bff's but she's useless when it comes to family stuff. Do you have siblings? I think you said you were an eldest daughter (but I totally could have made that up).

Okay long-winded thing that I talked about with my sister the other day, here we go: I saw this thing that said "you're only remembered for three generations." I thought that was so devastating and tragic because I hardly know my great-grandparents and I know NOTHING about anyone before them. I think I said to my sister word-for-word: "ya know, Day of the Dead is where it's at. That's how you're remembered that is the nicest, sweetest way to remember your family, your heritage." Like I'm really into my ancestry and I want to know more (but there's really not much about us--bunch of European peasants more than likely HAHAHAHAHA). But part of me wants to write an autobiography (it would probs be the MOST boring biography in the history of the world). It just seems sad to me that after a few generations I'll be forgotten, through no one's fault or anything. It's not like I'll be a famous politician or celebrity or a composer. It's just so wild. Anyway, all of this to say I think Day of the Dead is SO nice and cool (also it kicks of my b-day month) But I would love to learn more about your culture if you'd like to share! 💕

A SLEEVE OF TATTOOS OKAY SAY LESS 😍🤤 I'd melt. TA-Harry is writing itself! I have a thing about forearms--not like in a WEIRD way just like okay what was the reason for someone's forearm to look sexy? Like how does that work. There might just be something wrong with my brain.

OMG I've never tried a blind-date with a book! I love it! That sounds like so much fun! Let me know how you like!

LOVE YOU!

xoxo

Photography and Music (Kodoku's Lilacs, The Life of a Flowstar, No. 11)

Damn, it's been 10 days since my bday, and 356 days left until I'm no longer a child. Well, at least physically, I feel like I'll still be a child inside, not like a man child tho, just playful and stuff. Sucks that I never really got the chance to do that outside of school tho, I'm too much of a shy person to even tell my parents about my friends. But it's okay, I still got them om Snapchat and even if I don't talk to them, I got two things that I use to help me:

Photography and Music

Two different things I found that I truly love. You don't have to speak to make music (if you make beats or other stuff) or photography, but if you do it right, they can both mix together well. Whether it be a Japanese photo with pink trees and an ambient track with harps in it is playing, or if there's a inverted color volcano that has something like lean coming out of it with women and rappers and drugs around it as a cover art playing some Trap-A-Holics, with the photo in the background can help the mood, and I've heard several tracks that have the perfect feel of the thumbnail.

I'll talk about the harder stuff. I listen to rappers like Playboi Carti, SpaceGhostPurrp, and XXXTENTACION that have some pretty hard songs and hard cover arts, and I'll drop one example per artis. Playboi Carti with For My Set, the blue wavey cover art firs with that vaportrap like beat and atmosphere and Carti's flow. Purrp with his project, Blackland Radio 2, the beats aren't exactly what you were here with popping off rappers then (2016), but the atmosphere surrounding them stay trap and dark, especially with the cover art having what looks to be a devil's shadow over a fire. And finally X, rest in peace, with his song Run Up On Me, that cover art, even if it's so simple with a dark red color, it fits imo because it has a blood color and red usually means rage, and that song is truly hard.

Now that we're getting to the softer side, I'd like to talk about a game that has helped me late 2021 to now with its OSTs, it's a game called Yume Nikki, more so its fangame, Yume 2kki. Yume Nikki is about you exploring a girl's dreams, walking around different places and collecting effects, no story. Now that may sound boring, but if you appreciate art, you'd like the game, although it can be dark at times. Usually, if you were to play those games, you have to download them with a specific player for them, but there's websites that host the game for free, and that can help with people who can't download them on certain devices like chromebooks.

What Yume 2kki helps me appreciate, is the art around it. The worlds, music, and the atmosphere in general. The worlds can be dark like that one city with that dark piano track playing (that's how I discovered the game cause of some video about fears), to a happier, more calmer side of atmospheres and music, and there's so much worlds to explore, like a thousand of them because creators around the world have worked on it, yet so underrated. I think my favorite track from Yume 2kki is the ceiling reversed, that track has helped me calm down in situations where I had panic like feelings, it's therapeutic in a way that just stands out from others. And don't forget, appreciate the original game, Yume Nikki too!

Well, I'm done for tonight! I feel a lil more happier compared to last night, I felt like there wasn't anything in me, not even motivation when I laid in bed. I'm gonna try to remember and start writing these in the beginning of the days, and listen to Yume 2kki again, it's been a minute. Anyways, hope yall have a good night, happy memorial day.

Sincerely, Kodoku.

Howdy do! 21, 28, 32, 33 & 41? Sorry if this is too much, answer as many or as few as you’d like!! :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH MY GOSH, SORRY FOR NOT ANSWERING THIS ANY EARLIER THAN I WAS ABLE TO. HAD A LOT OF STUFF AND WONDERED IF I SHOULD DRAW REACTION RESPONSES TO THIS BUT AAAGH!! I'M HERE NOW TO ANSWER ALL OF THEM !!

21.) how long have you used tumblr for? how has your style changed over the years?

Oh boy, how long have I used this hellsite? Uh... I think--- and I could be wrong, but I think I joined tumblr in 2018-2019 and progressively got more active for... The next 3-4 years. I may be wrong about how long I've used it but y'know, bad-memory and all. My style though? Gee. Not exactly sure what kind of style I even have going on but, maybe it's changed? I sort of can't tell. Went from just posting explicitly art to just a reblog dumpster with bits of art and geeking out every now and then.

So, I think it's changed(?)

28.) if you could domesticate any animal as your pet, which would you choose?

Any animal? Do fictional ones count? Even prehistoric ones? I'll just run through all three if those options are available,

Realistically, I think I'd like to domesticate ... A crow! Or a raven for that matter. They're cool, and incredibly intelligent, omnivorous too. I'm not necessarily saying that housing one as a pet would be easy but-- it's manageable rather than having something big or limited towards eating one type of food that'd cost me greatly to care for. Also-- ravens talk !! Sort of... They can talk just like people with enough training and I think it'd be cool to scare people away with a raven or a crow that can say "run". It'd be a horrifying thing to experience but an overall big joke to me-- also, I very much like feeding crows and ravens irl. It's very therapeutic for me :]]

Fictional? A western dragon. Or a drake. It'd be so awesome to fly or ride around on a large reptilious (maybe?) fire-breathing creature and I've definitely adored fantasy beasts like those since I was a kid, so younger me would've been ecstatic at the thought of domesticating something that's so-- magical. Definitely would like a medium-sized dragon or a drake though, a pretty large beast like that would stick out like a sore thumb around where I live and-- I sure as hell do not like attention. A small fire-breathing dragon would do too, I'd like to have a little buddy by my size at any time or place.

This one might a be a merge between both prehistoric and fictional but, I think the Indoraptor from Jurassic World might've been a neat pet to have. Also-- "scary dog" privileges taken up to a literal sense would be funny. It'd be strange but definitely humorous to have the Indoraptor as something of an "emotional support" animal. I'd dig it. Nobody would bother me for having such a creature and it looks dope as hell !!

32.) favorite piece of memorabilia you own?

An "energon" necklace I bought a while back is my favorite memorabilia. It's a neat little accessory I got around-- 2021? 2020 maybe? The entirety of its delivery was... A wild ride. It went from Poland to... Multiple different places actually and me and the seller had to figure it all out as it was being brought to different places. It--- eventually arrived? But it ended up in New Mexico, I was in Cali, this lasted on for several days before I actually got the necklace. I was ecstatic about it and in the end, turned out really nice! I wear it on special occasions every now and then and I keep it tucked away safe in the small box it came delivered with.

33.) your personal favorite oddity about yourself?

Hm. A personal oddity about myself that I like? Hm. That's sort of difficult for me but, I think I like my ability to just-- talk to myself, y'know just-- hold a conversation in my mind or verbally between myself. It sounds strange but, surprisingly? It helps. Helps me cope a lot when I feel anxious or when I'm thinking too much. I don't like how it's portrayed in media as just-- talking to yourself = you're an insane psychopath or something like that. It feels wrong. Maybe I am crazy but, I don't see the genuine issue with talking to yourself and it sort of upsets me that talking to yourself isn't as normalized as it should be. So, yeah. I guess I like my ability to talk to myself. If that counts?

41.) what are you currently trying to accomplish?

hm. That's another hard one for me. I'm currently trying to accomplish-- a lot of things right now, physically? I'm trying to get some muscles, work out more, stuff like that and mentally? I'm just trying to recover--- from a lot of stuff that's happened, I think I'm doing okay so far and I think I'm making progress with accomplishing either of those. There's also a lot of other things I want to accomplish along with those two, like-- doing more art, getting into some more writing again, and just--- I don't know, hanging out with friends? It's a lot, I'm sure, but I never intended on doing all of them at the same time. That'd definitely tear me apart with how much I have to focus on, but for now. I'm just trying to accomplish on getting-- better, better somewhere, mentally, physically, that's good enough right?

#ask game #sorry if I got a little sappy at the end there. Just me reflecting on stuff #It happens but #sorry for the wait again Dah!#asks #cherriiii-cheriiii

You know I’ve been waiting for someone to say this about Lloyd. It just doesn’t make sense. I get creative expression but some stuff I come across makes me have to take a break because wtf, and I’ll mention things like when they write his character Steve rogers as a crazy creep who stalks kidnaps and rapes the reader, or when he does it with Bucky. Don’t even get me started on how people write Sebastian Stans cannibal character Steve and make it like he’s capable of all these good and loving things. I’m not trying to shame or judge anyone but come on you can’t tell me it’s a little weird

i've taken the medications and i'm capable of tackling this.

they're fucking weird. i will admit, wholeheartedly and voluntarily, that i have a Thing™ for ransom drysdale. i can't talk because i also do those same things. for the purpose of clarity and transparency i bring this up so i can't be but what about in the future if for some godforsaken reason this gets back to the stannies.

however. however.

the way they genuinely try to humanise characters such as lloyd hansen, who has canonically, verbally and visually, used children as human shields and had no qualms about killing them, and in turn dehumanising the protagonist in the meantime is fucking weirddddddddddddd. i cannot say enough that these people need to seek a therapeutic intervention, especially in regards to mangling chris evans and sebastian stan's good/protagonist characters into raping, violent fucking neanderthals. which is frankly an insult to neanderthals because i'm sure they acted better than the way these people write fucking steve rogers and bucky barnes to act.

like, yeah, there's exploration of taboo and dark topics but my fucking god when it's nearly every character/reader fic i have to parse through to use the fucking tag, seek help. i'm shaming you. if i have to see psychologists and psychiatrists for my violent impulses and daydreams, you should too, especially because you're actually pushing content into the fucking world of your little risqué sexual fantasies. anyways. all this because you want chris evans and sebastian stan to fuck you when they won't. ever. cope with it.

#anonymous #asks #literally cope and seethe etc etc etc

It appears somebody in the ml spoilers tag is talking about you and doesn't believe you are an therapist

Thanks for letting me know! I saw it, and I can see a little bit where they are coming from. But I completely disagree with everything they've said.

I knew from the start that people would question my credentials, so I cannot blame them for that. I also will not ever post my name or my credentials on the internet because I work with clients who are in this shows target demographic. I do not want to do damage to me and my client's therapeutic bonds, so if that is not enough for some people and they require proof then I am sorry for that, but I'm not giving it. My career is more important to me than fandom, but I am doing my best to keep both.

Another thing they mentioned was the implications that the writers I guess asked me to write stuff? Cause there was backlash about cat walker because some folks tweeted something or said things weirdly? I guess I need to make this clear but NO ONE at Zag has until yesterday talked to me about my work. Anita, as a fan, did message me before and say she's read my work and liked it, but not once did she and or anyone else ask me to write something.

The reason I write this stuff is because I get a lot of comments from friends and other fans that they like the perspective I bring. They also like that a show they love can be a representation of their own mental health. And that's what I love too.

This show is aimed for a younger audience, but people don't realize that kids can get depression. I've worked with 6 year olds who bad depressive symptoms. SIX. I work trauma and ptsd clients who are under ten and don't even knownwhat trauma is yet and just miss their families because they don't realize they've been neglected/abused. I've worked with clients as young as 7 who have anxiety and ADHD and struggle with dealing with the world around them.

And having a show like ML that I can actually use as a tool to help those kiddos is awesome. It gives them characters to see themselves as. It gives them hope. I've also talked with other fans in similar industries and they've had some success as well. Saying that this show is too young for this kind of representation is doing a disservice to younger audiences trying to see themselves.

You don't have to read or believe my writing. You are more than welcome to send me and ask about something you want me to talk about. Some of the things they mentioned I have talked about. Others are common remarks from the salt fandom.

I understand where your frustration comes from @monsterinhead but I don't write my posts for you or for the salt fandom. I don't write them for Thomas or Zag. I write them for me and my friends, and for the people who resonate with it.

I implore you to realize that by invalidating these characters experiences you are also saying that the fans who resonate with them are also not valid. You are pushing them away. You are telling them to go back into hiding, to be seen and not heard. You are telling them they don't matter. Miraculous is just a fictional show yes, but the people who watch it are real. With real thoughts and real emotions and real issues. I write for them. Who are you writing for?

#apologies for the vague post but if you directly insult me i think i have the right #miraculous ladybug #because you also put me in the main tags #anyway do yourself a favor and just block me please #asked and answered #bushy rambles #ml psychology #bushy overthinks things

sat, 9 oct,

learning to accept

I don't remember the last time I posted, but a lot happened since then.

Results were declared, I didn't make it to my favourite uni and it took me innumerable gloomy, heartbreaking nights, a few sad playlists and too many doughnuts with some serious deep life talks with myself to come to an acceptance for my reality. It hurt, real bad, so much that even a thought about it would drench my eyes, but somehow I couldn't digest it that I'll be spending another four years with my family, studying some engineering sh*t, while my friends would be out, enjoying their freedom. I was happy for them, I still am, but I was so dejected that I didn't know how to celebrate their success.

I wouldn't deny I tried channeling my sorrow to many unhealthy habits, but none of them helped, duh. So one fine day, I decided to pick my dusty ukulele that had been waiting for me for months, and I realised how relieving and therapeutic singing was to me. I got into reading, (which still seems impossible to the past me, but it's true, it's just about finding the right book, and just let the resonance happen), it helped too, I also met someone who was suffering from a fatal illness, and talking to them made me realise a lot of things that many of us fail to pay attention to for our entire lives, (I'm just 18 by the way, I don’t know why am I being so overdramatic about it, but anyway, continue reading). And so, I wanna share some stuff that I learned in the past few weeks, just incase there's some other overdramatic a** sitting behind the screen, just like me, looking for some help.

Morrie said, and I quote, "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live. Learn to detach. Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent. Experience life, experience every single emotion, all the good emotions, all the bad ones. Detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That's how you're able to leave it."

Emotions hurt, you have regrets, but it's all because you're stopping that emotion to be felt. It's in you, but you're busy pretending that it's not. You're rejecting a part of you, and you expect it to not hurt? As long as you're a good human, you can never fail in life. I agree I failed, not once, but countlessly, but it was a part of life, not the life itself, and strength to restart comes from the acceptance of failure, you become stronger when you can cry and say to yourself, 'failures are okay'. Be courageous enough to sit with that emotion, try to articulate it, dive into it, and only then can you say, "All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognise that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment."

It is okay to be yourself, it is alright to not be cool, it is okay if people aren't accepting of who you are, it is okay.

My blogs won't have some good college pictures, my college life won't be the way I imagined it to be, I'd be embarrassed to tell what college I'll be going to, I might not be studying some cool stuff like kids from elite colleges do, I won't be living the life I wanted to, but instead I'll be living the story of thousands of students who failed too but didn't give up. And that's who I am proud of. I don't need anyone to sympathise with me because I'm happy, to be trying to make the best of what I've got, I'm happy that I'm learning to accept myself, that I'm becoming more humble, that I gave myself the time to cry over what I didn't get and now I'm able to cherish what I received.

I don't think, anyone made it till here, but if you did, thanks a lot, and see you soon in the next. <33

MY YOUTH IS YOURS // Light Yagami x Reader • Part One

genre: pre-kira!light & fluff!!! let's fall in love with this cutiee!!

PART TWO:

PART THREE:

There wasn't a single person excluding himself who knew what was under that facade of seeming perfection. No one did, and no one really bothered to ask. Why would they ask if there was something wrong when everything appeared to be ideally normal? No—in fact, it wasn't simply normal.. It was perfection. It was something to be envious of. How it shone blinded people—it blinded them so greatly to the fact that no human was fine at all times, and that no human could handle perfection without the darkness hiding behind closed doors.

He was the Light Yagami. A demure individual. A prodigy. His father was a chief. He received loads of complements many could only hope for. He was favored by his teachers.. What's more to ask then?

At times he would contemplate, what he evaded the most would inevitably come to him. Getting asked all the time only for the questions to be entirely about his grades, sometimes he'd question if he still had any life other than that mundane highschool. Sure, it's nice.. But could they talk about something else? Especially during family dinners, with his mother reminding him to stay on top and asking about possible school rivals. It's been that way since he was a child. He grew up being on top that's why he must stay there. Study, study, study. Easy and ridiculously monotonous, but quite unfair that his sister was more.. free. More happy as he could tell.

"I've told mine, now you tell yours. What is it?"

The sly girl that was you needed to satiate your curiosity. You were second to him, which was more than disappointing to both you and your parents, especially when you lost the golden and very much coveted valedictorian place to him. But he was rather nice. He considered his classmates as mere acquaintances but you were favorable of earning the title 'friend' to him. Being with him at almost every regional competitions strengthened your relationship.

"Earth to Light Yagami?"

"Oh.. hobbies. Hm. I suppose I do sew sometimes. I play chess. Tennis. But mostly I just contemplate."

"About?"

"Trivial stuffs that could get my attention away from all the boring lessons. You know me, [Y/N], I don't have much of a life."

"High five!" Both laughing, you high-fived him. "Hm. But do you dance?"

"Only when we're required to during events. Don't question my skills [Y/N], they're quite mediocre in that field."

"Do you want to learn more?"

He sharpened his eyes at the gleam in your eyes. He sighed as he shook his head. "You know they won't let me. Besides, I already have a club. I can't have two."

"I don't mean at school. Don't even talk about that right now that we're simply trying to chill. I have a senior for a friend who teaches dance lessons. Wanna come in? Dancing is also an exercise. It'll help you with your sports. And you don't want to stay right-footed for the rest of your life, hm?"

"Says the one who has two left feet which made her trip on the air during the United Nations' dance presentation."

"How dare you remind me of that horrible predicament!" You twisted his ear. With force. And he whined, causing you to burst into a fit of giggles. "So Lighty are you in with me?"

"I will consider. What time is your friend's dance lessons?"

"Right after school until 5:00pm. That's only an hour per day. It wouldn't get suspicious if we tell our parents we're out in a coffee shop to study together, saaay?"

He gave you a suspicious look in response to the huge grin on your face. A few seconds later he nodded and said, pointing to you as if you were some kind of oddity, "If we get caught.. You alone are the culprit."

"Oh please! When did I ever get caught my entire life?"

Those dance lessons were godly and therapeutic for the both of you. Your parents would always fall right onto your trap so worrying wasn't an option.

After hours of ordeal at school, there was finally something to look forward to. Something that made you two express yourselves with your movements and the music surrounding you. Something that would momentarily cease all pessimistic and trivial thought in your heads. Something that made you feel that you and your partner were the only ones in this world.

With each steps leading you closer to him, you felt your heart doing the same. And needless to say he reciprocated. He was actually having fun! And with you and your presence coiling around him, things weren't the same as before.

He loves you. And he's happy knowing that you do too, even with your silence about it.

Hi!!! May I request a HP romantic and friendship matchup on both eras? (Preferably male), thanks in advance! 💞

𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 + 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘

19, Libra, Neutral Good, enneagram is 4w5, Ravenclaw, and my patronus spirit is swan. Bi Pan Genderfluid girl using pronouns of She/Her or He/Him. A friend of mine told me that I (kinda) look like Marinette from 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝘆𝗯𝘂𝗴, Musa from 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘅 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, and Alexandra Trese from 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲 (a Netflix animated series), but the exception is I'm short (5'1.2") plus sized Southeast Asian woman with Spanish descent that has messy/wavy brunette medium hair, chocolate brown eyes, oriental skin and a small beauty mark on the forehead. My sense of fashion is in between emo and boyish plus korean glam.

𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬

Distant and shy at first cause' I dunno how to initiate a conversation, but a total opposite if I open up---friendly, ambivert, witty, laughing loudly on a daily basis, talkative, awkward, daydreamer (I got embarrassed from knocking at the door even I'm inside the classroom 😂), EXTREMELY clumsy, secretly likes affection, easily overwhelmed, prone to melt over any wholesomeness, flusters on compliments, lightly blushes on cheesy banters, sarcastic person with a lowkey crackhead energy citing meme references, and talented girl who can be your no. 1 supporter and unashamed to be true to myself. In terms of leadership, I only educate and guide than being a prefect (I might take the role seriously), and will lift my group when there's lacking/incompleteness. About doing projects in school, I become too extra and prepared for efforts, but I'll forget the process in the end.

People thought I'm a demure self-effacing woman that looks "idealistic" or "one of a kind," (due to my protective parents, a reason why I've never been in a relationship) but the truth is, I'm eloquent, warm-hearted, willig to help, kind, intelligent, supportive, nice, creative, enthusiastic, determined, tough, competitive, and feisty outside, but a real softie that can be childish and dramatic crybaby filled with doubts, frustrations, and insecurities with fear of failure that pushes off the limits to to please everyone, yet I still managed to be stronger than ever, even it's a slow burn process. I can be intimidating, sassy, and a douchebag if I receive ends. Immature, headstrong, perfectionist, demanding, hesitant, jumpy, very indecisive, overthinker, quick-tempered, sensitive, and anxious (no joke, my nervousness makes me think worse scenario will arrive or I might break a belonging due to my carelessness). Though can be procrastinator and arrogant, I raised as a religious 𝖺𝗇𝖽 diplomatic person, willing to fight what I believe (including my dreams) 𝖺𝗇𝖽 what is right. In addition, I have a habit of staying up late and doing sign of the cross to ease nervousness.

Blunt but the loudest idiotic feeling-brokenhearted and bitter friend in the group who fangirl a lot, swears like sailor, will act like a silent backstabber on people that we loathe, will crack up over your stupid antics before helping, and bring gossips, but a hopeless romantic who tends to banter with sarcasms or pick up lines as an endearment (but gets grumpy if I received sappy or offensive one), still generous and concerned in a subtle way.

𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦

My hobbies are singing, drawing, roleplaying, listening to music, chatting/browsing on social media, conceptualizing, writing, and reading some stuffs. 𝖨'𝗅𝗅 𝗂𝗇𝖼𝗅𝗎𝖽𝖾 making corniest jokes/puns, 𝗌𝗅𝖾𝖾𝗉𝗂𝗇𝗀, and dancing when nobody's around or walking like a model if I feel so bold (even I'm terrible at both xD).

𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦

Loves kittens, eating a lot, cartoons, watching YouTube videos (mostly pageants, ASMR, edit audios, and mukbangs), also enjoys playing games on my sister's PSP. Sucker for arts, choir, night sky, makeup, fun/deep/dumb conversations, Christianity, documentaries (about saints, real crime stories, and inspirational people), reading interesting stuffs, talking about social issues, and writings, chilling both indoors and outdoors. Beside that, my music taste are like late 90s-2000s songs (mostly rock, pop, and country) sometimes kpop and ppop, chocoholic, and a sweetooth as well.

𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦

Things that I hate are stereotyping, HUGE creepy crawlies (spiders, toads, snakes, and cockroaches), firecracker sounds, being left out, loneliness, heart break, blackout, and judgemental people. One random fact about me is, I 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 vent out EVERYTHING I despise in my entire existence---from bad soap operas to toxicity and worse scenarios in real life, because it's a big deal for me, and I consider forcing me to do what I'm not into and manipulating me as my major pet peeves.

𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦

In terms of triggers...I only have two which are ta𝖨king about divorce/annullment/separation because I came from a generational broken family and religion/beliefs discrimination, cause' there are reasonings that doesn't makes sense because some are too hypocritical.

𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔

My best assets are smile, eyes, personality, singing voice, artistic skills, writings, intelligence, and oratorical skills...so I can consider myself as a singer, artist, orator, and a top student who's a former active campus ministry member with three roles (choir leader, psalm singer, and reader). Currently an incoming college freshman, learning how to cook and have so many interests, to the point I don't know what I'm into because of my dreams to become a popular Filipino YouTuber, a novelist, and being part of a successful chorale competing internationally...I also consider joining pageants at school too once the pandemic ends, but maybe.

Thank you so, so much for requesting! I had a lot of fun with this one (as you can tell by some of the really long answers lol) and I hope you enjoy!!

In the Golden Trio era, I romantically pair you with…

CEDRIC DIGGORY

One of the most beautiful things about Cedric is that although he may show some introverted tendencies, he still manages to have a natural gift for connecting to others and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to open up. Really, your initial distance and shyness don't last nearly as long towards Cedric as they would with most other people.

Hearing your laughter brings the widest, cheesiest grin to Cedric’s face. Not only does he adore seeing you happy, but he also recognizes that your anxiety, insecurities, and strong emotions can sometimes cloud up your demeanor. Therefore, it brings him comfort knowing that (for the moment) you’re finding joy. He thrives when you thrive!

However, as much as he loves seeing your more energetic and happier self, it goes without saying that he’s the best comfort for when you’re not having the best day.

Cedric is an excellent listener, so he’ll most likely let you talk without interruption for as long as you need before even saying a word. He wants to make sure he truly understands your current state before acting. He may take a few seconds to process everything after you finish speaking, but then he’ll help you tackle whatever problems you’re facing. He’s especially talented at giving words of affirmation.

Cedric’s listening also comes in handy whenever you talk about your interests! He genuinely loves hearing about the things you’re interested in solely for the fact that you’re interested in them. Side note: you can count on him to be at any music performances, pageants, etc. you may have -- this guy is truly your #1 supporter.

Cedric’s a very good student (though I suspect he’s somewhat of a procrastinator himself), so I can also see you two supporting each other through schoolwork and celebrating each other’s successes.

Like you, Cedric has a strong urge to do the right thing. Talking to him about social issues stirs up a need to help, and I could see you two doing volunteer work together in your spare time.

I like to believe one of Cedric’s biggest love languages is quality time. Don’t get me wrong, this guy loves staying involved and busy. But taking a couple hours to be with you in small ways (even if that means just being in the same room while you scroll through social media) gives him a nice balance.

Overall, this kind boy will be there unwaveringly through the bad times and will laugh just as loud as you through the good!

As a friend, I think you’d best be matched with…

LUNA LOVEGOOD

You wanna talk about the best conversations, relentless support, and overall the most wholesome friendship you could ask for? Luna’s your girl.

Being unashamed to be true to yourself is one of the biggest reasons why Luna is so drawn to you. While she’s very friendly and insightful towards everyone she meets, it can get a bit repetitive for her to constantly interact with people who try to shelter their unique characteristics from the world. In her mind, these unique characteristics are what make people so fascinating! Why should anyone hide who they are?

Luna’s creativity is endless, and I can see it blending well with yours. Collaborating on a personal project outside of school (ex: novel, blog, etc.) together is definitely something I could see you two doing.

Speaking of creativity, finding creative solutions to everyday problems (both in school and in life) is your specialty as friends.

Admittedly, Luna isn’t usually drawn to louder individuals. However, the complexity behind your personality makes it easier for her to know you are much more than what meets the eye.

Speaking of, Luna has a difficult time standing up for herself -- whether it’s because she doesn’t feel a need to or she just doesn’t recognize the meaning behind certain phrases. She NEEDS a friend like you to stand up for her sometimes, and I know you wouldn’t hesitate!

Ranting to Luna is therapeutic to say the least. While her aloofness at times may make it seem as if she isn’t fully paying attention, that couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s actually catching every word, and once you’re done she’ll leave you with a philosophical solution that may seem borderline insane/irrelevant when you first hear it, but it strangely makes sense.

Overall, the lack of judgment from either of you is what draws you together. As a result, you build a unique bond that couldn’t be broken even if either of you wanted it to.

In the Marauders era, I romantically pair you with…

REMUS LUPIN

Let’s be honest, it would take you two so long to ask each other out. You were probably already really close friends, but the insecurities and “what if?” questions from both of you delayed an actual relationship.

When you finally started dating, you were both so relieved. You still share a laugh at how almost nothing changed in the way you interacted with each other.

While with mutual friends, Remus sometimes likes to sit back and just watch you, especially when you get really talkative because this is when you become the most expressive. He has the softest smile when you’re actively cracking jokes, discussing something you’re passionate about, or even calling someone out. Sometimes you may be too distracted to notice, but other times you’ll catch him.

“What?”

“Oh, nothing.” (While that same soft smile never leaves his face.)

You both hold really high standards for yourself in terms of school, so expect late-night study/work sessions to be your best bet for quality time.

Though the occasional instance of walking through/lying on the grounds becomes a favorite for both of you.

Remus listens when you’re particularly struggling through anxiety or strong emotions, but he has to consciously stop himself from interrupting because he can’t stand how he feels knowing you’re going through a tough time.

All he wants to do is soothe you during these moments. If you’re comfortable, he’ll hold you while speaking to you in a soft voice. Remus, the intellectual that he is, is also your best chance at finding a reasonable solution. So if you're not in the mood for calming words, he's also a great person to turn to for answers.

As for your ambitions, no matter what you choose to pursue, you already know Remus is going to be your biggest source of support every step of the way. He’s more than happy to help in any way he can!

Overall, Remus appreciates you, and he’s always going to make sure you know it.

As a friend, I think you’d best be matched with…

LILY EVANS

Lily especially connects to you because you manage to be determined, competitive, and intelligent without sacrificing your kindness, which is something she can relate to.

You and Lily are the C.E.O.s of doing the right thing. Neither of you hesitates to back the other up when it comes to confronting someone because you know it’s justified.

As perceptive as Lily is, you never need to tell her when something is bothering you. All it takes is a quick glance before she puts whatever she’s doing on hold to check in with you.

The reverse works as well. Typically, Lily really doesn’t internally struggle too much, and when she does she tries to hide it. You’re one of the only people who can see right through whatever she tries to pull.

The constant banter between you two is unmatched, but you both know it's because you really care about each other.

Overall, you and Lily have each other’s backs through anything, even when the other isn’t actively asking for help.
