#if anyone can give me a legit example that fits this

[whatudowhennooneseesyou]

Hi, it's me again, and i bring another small debate about the kids.

In the group, who do you think is more prone to jealousy and possessiveness? because i've recently come to known there's a difference between those two terms (i legit had no idea, sorry)

I guess Hyunjin doesn't jealous in any way, since he's so confident on himself. He'll maybe want to "mark his territory", but wouldn't ever feel threatened by anyone.

With Chris it's confusing, because he fits both for me. He gives off the vibes that he'll put you an invisible collar to mark you as propietry but he'll also growl at anyone that looks at you (god i'm really describing him as an alpha wolf thing, forgive the cringe)

i'll love to hear your opinions about it

Hey @lyramundana

Yeah, there is a difference once you really learn how to look for it.

Don't worry about not knowing, it is tricky to understand at first.

This is MY take so don't take it as gospel.

Possessiveness:

Is the feeling of ownership over someone and the feeling of being top priority.

'I should be the first person you talk too because no one can take care of you like how I can'.

Jealousy:

Is the fear of insecurity around being replaced by someone more superior to you.

'You can't talk to other people because you can't be happy with anyone but me'.

They're both toxic examples but you get it 🤷‍♀️

Possessive Vs Jealous:

Possessive:

Bang Chan

Lee Know

Changbin

Seungmin

Jealous:

Han

Felix

Hyunjin

Jeongin

So let's talk about Bang Chan and Hyunjin:

Yes, Bang Chan and Hyunjin are both possessive and jealous but on different ends of the spectrum.

Bang Chan is more possessive than jealous because his 'Alpha' energy means he genuinely believes a lot of the time that no one can look after you like he can.

There's clear evidence of this when Chan got really emotional in one of his ending-ments in SK where he said:

'You mean the world to me. I'm gonna protect each and everyone one of you, all the members staffs, fans, I'm going to protect you all. No one is going to touch them'

(The translation is rough but you get what I mean).

Now, let's be realistic here.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for Chan to protect every Stay because there's too many of us, he can't physically do it.

BUT!

That's not going to stop him from trying, so if he's like this with Stays...can you imagine what he'd be like with his partner?

And this just further reinforces my view on him having a caregiver complex.

Hyunjin is more the 'jealous' type because he's more concerned about being seen as inferior in your eyes rather than actually 'being' with you per-say.

It's like, he wants to be the best in your eyes but it doesn't matter whether he 'owns' you, he just wants to be seen as the top option.

This is seen in his song 'Ice Cream':

I delude myself into thinking that someone's who cold to everyone is only warm to me'.

He wants to feel special and prioritised and if he doesn't... jealousy ensues.

But I would say Jeongin is probably the most jealous member out of all of them.

Have you seen his reaction when ppl ask about his brother?

Okay, with that out of the way. I'm at the halfway point of Caligula Effect 2 and as a filthy Caligula Effect player I will not take this slander anymore- Firstly, this game think it's fucking funny- HUH?!

Yamanaka think he's fucking funny pulling this shit directly after how dirty he narratively did Eiji Biwasaka- Forgiveness moving forward from the past letting people grow! Oh, we do that now?! What about that final destination death my guy? What about that? That karma shit everybody in the first go home club was talking all that good crap about.

Okay, fine pressing that hard to the side. That's not important anymore.

I mostly came here to say that it really seems like a lot of what good people are trying to find in the Milgram characters is like just legitimately the Caligula Effect 2 cast. To the point that it's like it can't be that because it's quite literally a character he's written before. The cop thing with Kazui um Shota is right fucking there. Shidou cool Docktor is right fucking there and I may be jumping the gun on that since I haven't finished his area. Yet, I feel super comfortable saying that anyhow.

It's just quite funny that many of the best interpretations of the characters the audience has had- The most benefit of the doubt filled interpretations or guesses about the reason behind their actions are legit just a description of a character from two. The most on the nose example of this being Mahiru and QP. Something that I don't even need to describe in writing one could just listen to this and get what I'm saying.

"This right here is how I truly am." "See look. I'll keep pursuing my paradise now. Oh, the pain- Pain. Damage: HIGH." - "I pretended to be a good girl, but really, I don't want to say "I'm ok"." "Tell me, oh tell me why, won’t you just accept me?"

Sure it's perfectly normal to create a favortie shape and love it. It's fine to create ones own personal interpretation of these characters and grow attached to them but- But! Will anyone try to even look past their own ego, their own desires for how they want these characters to be and just look at what's there before this ends. There's millions of possibilities so why just grow attached to the same old thing?

Because it's comfortable? Because it feels good? Because it's simple? This isn't meant to be simple. This is Milgram. if anyone wanted a simple truth something that could be wrapped up nice and neat it's right over there. Trying to force things into one mold for personal convenience isn't only harmful to others but oneself because people get it stuck in their head if this one thing can't be what they want then nothing can. When that simply isn't true.

Just because Milgram may not be that doesn't mean that thing doesn't exist out there somewhere. What happens when the character one has done this to no longer fits that mold? Would a person rather break themselves into bits trying to fit in or risk being broken standing out from being exactly who they are. What's a satisfying characterization? What makes a good character?

Is the way we an audienc can project on them? Relate to them? Is it how the story for them ends. Or is it that character being fully and unabashedly themselves? For all the good and bad that may cause. It's all subjective anyway. What makes a good character to one person will make a bad character to someone else.

This is what to me makes it super funny that a lot of the best assumptions people can give to the Milgram cast are so close to the stories of characters that came before them. By funny I mean super sad. Like how bad does a character need to be for the kindest interpretations of them to be in the shadow of characters the writer has made before.

That's so not interesting. What sort of writer wants to tell the same story over and over again? Wouldn't it be nice if everything could end up well. If all the milgram characters could learn, grow, and become better? Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could get along? Those sorts of questions. Those sorts of desires.

If that's a want one has then they may just enjoy Caligula Effect 2 more than they do Milgram. Because that just seems to be 2. From the looks of it Milgram isn't shaping up to be that sort of story. Though it definitely has a lot of Yamanaka's signature all over it and it's really great because through playing the games and looking at Milgram one has this nice experience of seeing a persons writing evolve over time.

Something that gives Milgram this rather unpredicatable feel that makes it even more entertaining. Also as it stands now I do still prefer Milgram to two in a lot of ways. Two is definitely not for everyone but the characters are still all pretty amazing (even though they're all grating as hell in their own ways). If I wasn't so sick to death of doing a shit ton of emotional labor I'd be enjoying it more. That was an issue I had with one as well.

So, I'll probably end up enjoying the experience more in hindsight like with that too. Definitely a difficult play though.

I like lustale, but I'm a little nervous to jump ship from underlust in regards to the ghost fam and their gender

Does mtt use he/him pronouns? Mad mew mew (mad dummy) use she/her? And does Napstablook use they/them?

This matters a lot to me because ghost monsters are just an allegory for being trans and it's kinda painful to watch some people use (for example) she/her for mtt.

As a not as important side note: is mtt ace? I only ask cuz he's very ace coded in what you've said about him so far (and he was extremely ace coded in underlust as well)

Thanks in advance :)

Hello!! I def understand, and any questions about Lusttale's chara information like this is heavily welcomed, specially as i appreciate everyone asking since it does help me expand on all characters :D ( It also helps me learn about concerns! ) - MTT is He / Him, he is also Demi-Ace + Bisexual, some people say he is gay others say he is straight, so im making him Bi. Him being gay feels abit too stereotype-y while straight i dont mind i also dont fully think fits his character just as is ( specially if theres a possiblity of Papyton happening in Lusttale, i say possibility as it will be a slowburn ) MTT will most likely be another character i have lots of fun expanding with, he is not trans however does suffer with body dysphoria, mainly after going from ghost to robot thinking him having a body, this is not because of anything prominent in the games nor anything in OG Underlust, rather than just something i feel can help his character in Lusttale ( i am not putting a headcanon onto OG MTT ) - Mad Mew Mew does use She/Her, I havent yet heard of her being Mad Dummy, in Luttale they would most likely be sep bc i havent heard of it but if you ( or anyone else ) would like to give me more info on this id love to hear and will most likely use it!! Mad Dummy is one of my legit favorite characters in Undertale even tho ik i said Papyrus once, but the Mad Dummy's song hits so good :D - Napstablook does infact use They/Them pronouns! None of them are trans, i will most likely stick to their original pronouns or they/them pronouns!

A3! Fushimi Omi - Translation [SR] Festival of Blooming (2/2)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

Omi: When I think about acting as Taichi, his smile comes to mind. But that’s a part of him that everyone knows, not just me as his roommate. That being said, that doesn’t fulfill the purpose of the project which is to “deepen your understanding of your roommate”… so I’m feeling a little lost.

Tsuzuru: I see. When it comes to Taichi, I do picture him smiling…

Juza: I’m sure you know more than just Taichi’s smile, Omi-san.

Omi: …I do. As his roommate, I’ve seen so many different sides of Taichi up until this point. (That’s right. Behind that carefree smile hides a crazy amount of effort and an element that really hates losing to himself…) Even when Taichi has a lot on his own plate, he always faces everyone with a smile, whether it’s Autumn troupe or anyone else. And more than anything, he’s always showering everyone with compliments. I think it might be because he himself wants to be praised, so he ends up being sweet on others… Oops, I went off topic, didn’t I? Haha.

Juza: Nah. I get it.

Omi: I understand that Taichi’s smile is the result of all of that combined. So I don’t think I can let go of that side of him. But that alone would be…

Tsuzuru: …Hey, what you just said is already enough. There are a lot of things about Taichi that only you know, right?

Omi: Eh? …Ah. I suppose you’re right… Even I’m a tad surprised that I could talk about Taichi that much.

Juza: …Wouldn’t it be good to put those feelings into your skit? That same smile can be expressed differently depending on whether or not you know the reason behind it. You’re not just gonna pull a simple smile and leave it at that.

Omi: Juza…

Tsuzuru: Besides, even though we were told this project is to deepen our mutual understanding of each other, I don’t think you need to think that hard about it. You should try conveying the things you like about Taichi and act them out in your skit.

Omi: The things I like about him… I see. You have my thanks, you two. I will give that a try.

-pause-

Omi: Taichi. Can I do my part for that project now?

Taichi: Of course! I’ve been waiting! Alright, alright. I’ll get my stuff ready right away… First, you gotta wear my clothes, right! …Err, ahh!

Omi: What’s wrong?

Taichi: Omi-kun… there’s no way you’re gonna fit in my clothes…

Omi: Ahh, now that you mention it… That totally slipped our minds, huh?

Taichi: I-I knew it! I wonder if I have anything that fits you!? Ah, this might juuust work!

-pause-

Omi: Oh, I managed to get it on.

Taichi: Ohhh… it legit just fits! …I have mixed feelings that it’s the perfect size for you.

Omi: Well it’s good that I can wear it for the time being.

Taichi: Alright, back to the task at hand… Omi-kun, go ahead with your skit playing me!

Omi: Sure thing. Here goes. “It’s so awesome Ban-chan can do anything! That’s Ban-chan for you!” “Juza-san’s a man amongst men! I totally get how his admirers feel~.”

Taichi: (Yep, yep. That’s how I usually am, I think! And I’m happy he’s acting with a big smile on his face~.)

Omi: “Sakyo-nii is always my goal! Being intellectual and passionate is the ticket to popularity!”

Taichi: (Huh? Could he be complimenting all the Autumn troupe members?)

Omi: “A-chan’s so rad and cool! But that’s not all. It’s nice that he has a cute side to him too~!”

Taichi: (It totally is! I never expected Omi-kun to act that out… it makes me blush a little.)

Omi: “Also, Omi-kun is…” “O-Omi-kun is…” Ummm…

Taichi: Ehhh!? You got stuck there!? Aww, Omi-kun. It was going super well until then~!

Omi: Sorry. Talking about myself is a bit…

Taichi: In that case, I’ll show you an example! Omi-kun’s tall, burly, kind to a fault, and he cares so much for Autumn troupe! His cooking is professional grade and he’s pro at photography too! Everyone admires how he looks when he’s riding his motorcycle!

Omi: Taichi…

Taichi: What’s more. I love Omi-kun when he smiles! I’m sure that’s the face that I get to see the most as his roommate.

Omi: Haha. Yeah, that might be an expression that only you as my roommate know.

Taichi: Right!

Omi: …

Taichi: Ahh, that’s it! That smile right there! Alright, let’s strike while the iron’s hot and snap the polaroid picture!

Omi: Sure. Is this alright?

Taichi: Wait, before that… You gotta have this if you’re gonna be me ♪

Omi: An Akapoyo-kun?

Taichi: Yep! You’ll be just like me if you take the picture holding that!

Omi: Is that how it works…?

Taichi: ‘Kay, here goes~. Say cheese!

*click*

Taichi: Mm~… I’ll give you 70 points.

Omi: Haha, harsh. Try as I might, I’m still not used to having my picture taken.

Taichi: I know how you are, so I’ll let you off the hook this time! Hehe.

Omi: I appreciate it.

wtf is hyperpulp

What is hyperpulp? It’s thoughtful, introspective fiction that utterly rejects the self-conscious trappings of litfic in favor of everything that’s bloody, sexy, irreverent, and generally un-respectable about genre fiction, weaving together the pulp and the literary so tightly that trying to remove one would destroy the other.

Real talk though, it’s a word I came up with to explain to my old writing prof why I stuck his name on the dedication page of a Conan the Barbarian parody. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously here.

But if we assume this is a real genre, what are some other examples? First thing that springs to mind is Tamsyn Muir’s Locked Tomb, as it’s the series that taught me that you can write a story that’s both deadly serious drama and an utter shitpost, like that’s… allowed. It’s never sexually explicit but I don’t think hyperpulp needs to tick off all its own boxes. It’s a doctrine of freedom, not lawyerly fuckarsery. So long as it’s got the spirit, it’s there. Another example might be Gretchen Felker-Martin’s Manhunt, though genre-wise splatterpunk seems to have that one covered. It’s just smart, thoughtful, really good splatterpunk.

And there it is. The question that makes me not entirely comfortable with applying my own genre label to other people’s work: is there anything to hyperpulp other than, “it’s pulp, but it’s good”?

I could waffle all day about how hyperpulp is made distinctive by the balance it strikes, about its emphasis on emotion amid extreme circumstances, and how it’s possible to do that badly in a way that’s distinct from bad pulp or bad litfic. But no amount of prevaricating can parry either of the two objections I anticipate to calling someone else’s work hyperpulp. The objection I don’t respect: “ew, keep your pulp out of my serious literature.” The objection I respect deeply: “fuck off, pulp was good enough without you pretending to elevate it.”

Yeah, legit. Reminds me of that anecdote Neil Gaiman tells about some litfic shitfuck telling him, “oh no, you don’t write comics, you write graphic novels.” Going by that logic I should retire the concept of hyperpulp as a bad idea, quietly scrub it off the site and the socials before I earn a reputation as a pretentious poser.

But also no. Fuck it, I’m keeping it.

The reason boils down to the same answer given to that common strawman of queer and neurodivergent copypastas, the asshole who demands, “why do you need to keep coming up with all these stupid labels? Aren’t labels… bad?”

Because it’s good to know you’re doing your own thing right, not doing someone else’s thing wrong.

Trying to promote my own work without a simple label like hyperpulp has been a thankless slog. If I try to lean into the pulp, people wonder why everyone’s talking about their feelings. If I lean into the feelings, people wonder why everyone’s horny and covered in blood at the same time. Trying to describe my work always felt like being an underground metal critic fumbling to stuff someone’s genre-agnostic music into a box labeled, “raw melodic second wave black metal/thrashing kawaii dungeon drone with elements of crust and ska.” Death came up with a label that I used for a little while: “hyper-violent social commentary comedy smut.” I felt like that captured the spirit of it, but it was a mouthful and also not entirely accurate. BEHOLD! is plenty horny, but it’s still less than 5% porn by volume. Also, nobody’s impressed by comedy or social commentary. Anyone can do it badly, and when it’s bad it’s terrible. That leaves just the violence, which certainly gives the wrong impression.

So yeah. Nah. Hyperpulp’s the right word. Hyperpulp fantasy, to be specific. So much of the traditional publishing scene is talented people sanding away their personality and originality to fit into an easily marketed package, a thing I’ve long resented, despised, and struggled against. Hyperpulp is not just a label. It’s a blade for carving out a place for myself in a fantasy fiction market that has never been more crowded. Only time will tell if that’s a battle I can win.

She appears to be walking toward the right side of the image in a confident manner, one hand on her hip and her free hand holding a red and white Pokeball.

The background is a patch of land overlooking a stormy sea with high, choppy waves. End ID.]

-----

“If the tremendous energy of Mt. Chimney and the Meteorite are combined, we of Team Aqua can take a giant step toward the world that we dream of! We won't let ignorant little brats get in our way!”

Another example of the ORAS designs for the team admins being so much goddamn better!! GBA Shelly was just An Aqua Grunt With Longer Hair to me, but now? Now?! She's actually a distinct individual! She has Personality! And it Shows! Amazing glow-up! ...that's the proper context for that phrase, right? I, uh, have a history of not exactly being on the pulse of what the common lingo of my peers has been, and also have a tendency to make up my own weird phrases that make no sense to anyone else... XD

Anyway, in my ongoing attempts to fix my way of drawing black people (or characters who can at least be reasonably assumed to be black going by skin tone alone, I know this was still pre-Ryme so we didn't have what I consider to be the culmination of Pokemon's attempts at making black characters look like actual black people beyond just "skin is dark, okay done") so they have more distinctly black features, I tried to make her lips a little bigger, but considering she wears lipstick I couldn't do the tone difference thing quite like I did with Rosemary a couple pics ago. That and gloves again, can't attempt the palm thing yet still. ...yeah I know I didn't do any of this for Rice Pilaf, I legit forgot since I'd colored that well in advance before I started making this effort. I'm fixing that in the future for him tho, don't worry ;3

Also, more talking about this art specifically, check out that background! Or rather, what you can see beyond the subjects, at least. Love how the water came out!! I am so damn proud of it, looks like a proper raging ocean! And fun fact, you'll be seeing that again. Yeah, I figured it was more fitting to draw the Magma and Aqua peeps with a background befitting their themes rather than where you fight them (Aqua peeps in a volcanic background? noooo!), so I'm using the backgrounds from this and the Tabitha pic thrice because I Like Them >:3c

I wanna watch puss in boots but im not sure if its worth it yk😭😭

Well, I have an excuse to share this TikTok now! But, I'll give you a legit answer - it really is worth the watch.

EDIT: OH MY GOD, I didn't even realize that I went on about this, my bad. Everything is under the cut if you're interested, kinda spoilers for who the wolf really is but chances are that you already know.

I watched the first movie when it came out and while I sadly don't remember it too well, I can tell you that it was fun. A solid movie, nothing groundbreaking but still really fun and cute.

However, Puss in Boots 2 is a delight that I never saw coming.

Something I realized as I'm writing this is that there are a lot of characters in this movie, like, a lot. We have 3 sets of antagonists, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito and Puss himself and some side characters which we see as well. For most movies it's really difficult to develop just one character let alone this many but I have to give a shout out to the antagonists because geez, I love them all.

The Wolf is by far my favorite and I kind of regret being spoiled by social media of who he really is. His presence alone is so chilling, every time the guy is on screen the entire movie suddenly turns into a horror flick! What I also love is how not evil he is and let me explain that a little better.

Yes, he is Death but he ended up helping Puss in the long run. If it weren't for him Puss would have never realized that he already had everything he wanted and would have thrown it all away by making that wish. Death ended up giving him some "tough love" in a way. Sure, he openly enjoys hunting Puss but that is because Death has his own moral code and he sticks to it throughout the entire film. He is an antagonist but he is not a villain, not like Humpty. He reprimands Puss for wasting his life away but in the final battle when Puss realizes that there are indeed people waiting for him and that he has a chance to live a full and true life, Death no longer wishes to fight him. He instead turns his back and says something along the lines of "I shouldn't have played with my food!" and doesn't bother Puss anymore. After all, Death came to take a cocky little legend into the afterlife, not whoever this new Puss in Boots is. Death walks away like the legend that he is, while telling Puss that they will meet again no matter what happens and Puss accepts this. Just overall great writing for both Puss and Death!

Humpty is the true antagonist of the movie and he is hilarious. He's that kind of villain that's there for you to root for his downfall while also delivering some solid comedy while he is at it. He became even better when that green little cricket was with him, that's absolute gold right there.

Goldilocks and the three bears made me tear up, hah. They are I guess what you would say "redeemable villains" but I don't think that description fits them well, if anyone has anything better to add you are more than welcome to do so. This group is the perfect example of the "found family" trope and I am here for it, the ending was so so sweet and I just!! Loved it!!

I also must give a special shout out to Kitty and Perrito, those two are heroes in their own right! That scene in which Puss is having a panic attack and Perrito finds him and comforts him is just... He is a good boy, he deserves everything! And Kitty, oh my. She endured so much and still managed to come on top in the end is just amazing.

This movie really is perfect for the whole family. It doesn't talk down to kids about the more serious subject matters which it tackles but it's colorful and entertaining in the best way possible. Even the adults have something to look forward to because while the main target audience are children, it's still not childish, it's the perfect golden middle.

My only complaint would probably be that the ending felt a little rushed and that Puss's stay in that cat hotel felt a bit dragged out but other than that, I have nothing else to add. I'd rate this movie a 9.5/10, it's just a wonderful experience overall.

If I were a mutual who would like to befriend you, are there boundaries that come w that?

Fun thing about tumblr is that settings allow anyone to set boundaries within the app and website.

For example, I allow everyone to send me anonymous asks using the app settings because thus far I am okay with them :3

I don't really have anything against DMS, but I don't start conversations and I don't Isuzu hold them well, which is part of the next things.

Alot of my boundaries with social media are things I set for myself. Things like "I can set down my phone whenever I want if the vibes are off", etc, but also

I do not share personal details about my life. Pretty much the only things people know about me are that I'm a white queer from the USA and other shit they've gleaned from my posting about experiences as an [insert identity] person. I don't share things like the events of my day normally, because I like to compartmentalize tumblr and keep my safe persona here seperate. I can spend some time in this little pocket reality.

And I never ask those questions of other people either, because I consider it invasive to want to know more about others than they know of me, [but of course what people choose to share on their own blogs is their own choice <2] so I don't ask more than follow ups (eg. If they say their sister was cool in the orchestra I ask what instrument but that's it. Fake example btw)

Most of my mutuals are people who either I've spam reblogged until we started legit interacting and I've said based stuff about the niche I followed then for, or people who spam reblog me and like my art n shitposts.

Anyone can tag me in stuff regardless of whether we're mutuals or not. I might not always answer, but that is not personal it is part of my personal boundaries. "I only have so much energy to give to this app and website" and "I can block hashtags if I don't wanna see my mutual's blorbo who's source material I don't care about, it's my own damn dashboard" and such.

And I answer specific question anons like this pretty easily, but I have a more difficult time with statements like positivity anons.

I love positivity anons ["if you're getting this it means we appreciate you", etc] but I find it hard to answer these because they are statements and because they sometimes come with instructions on how to pass them on because they are chain anons. Both of these take more energy than I am willing to spend, but I never delete them and I always enjoy getting them <2

I post a lot about Stranger Things and miscellaneous fandoms, and I welcome interaction there. Additions that add more insight or context to a post, etc. This type of conversation is easier to maintain, is something I am comfortable with, and is typical for the website and what I do here.

Of course, I usually don't shy away from conversing with others about what they choose to discuss on their own posts, with the understanding (the hope) that they will tell me if I am overstepping. And I also can drop it off someone appears to lose interest by not adding in case that is then wanting to end the convo.

Going back to asks, I accept asks of pretty much any topic, so long as they are well-intended and something I can answer well, as well as keeping with my blog's sort of "quota" (not getting too personal, relatively "family-friendly" as they say, and these are just my personal preferences, obviously, other blogs have different things going on that fit their own valid and swag preferences)

I also get asks on my sideblog @threesongsinatrenchcoat which is a music blog or either of my sthings rp blogs.

Basically, invade my space and if I haven't blocked you or confronted you just assume you are fine /hj

I hope this answered your question :3 hopefully you are already following because I don't think you as an anon will get notified so you might not even actually see this lol.

UM notice for anyone else who wants to send me anons and find them later: they are tagged as #anons, #asks, and #song spouts bullshit, which is my personal tag.

And since we're on tagging, if it is not anonymous, I tag as the full url or as their nickname and a heart. Fake example #the-real-spiderman-official-not-fake-not-flash-thompson, #petey <2,

Not done a life update in a bit. Sorry man. I doubt anyone actually reads this nonsense but eh.

First & foremost, ya girl obtained a button maker & is making buttons of FUCKING EVERYTHING. I love it. Other WIP include hand painting doodles on my headboard with micro brushes & craft paint. It's a good thing to do when bedridden. I beat BOTW & TOTK, then beat both of the first 2 Southpark Games, & bought a bundle of 50 Sega Genesis games that I mess around with when I get tired of puzzling over Shadows Over Loathing.

Yesterday I dismembered a swing set that was sketchy in its structural integrity & am using scrap to make a cat tree that the cats can use to come & go from my bathroom window. (Don't worry, I'm not a moron. We made it so they can't get out of our yard the same way we did for the chickens.) I replaced our sliding glass door because it was gonna Final Destination someone & statistically I was most at risk. So I ripped it all out & replaced it will new framing, french doors, drywall, siding, and a dog door.

The Man is still running for mayor. We will see how that shakes out. He has low key given me license to decorate/renovate however I see fit because I have good taste, talent, skill, and as he put it "the one who is legit trapped here the most & thus should have it decorated to enrich your enclosure, babygirl". That man is absurd... but not wrong.

Beyond that, there's not much. The Spawn is in her first apartment with a girlfriend from work, so I get calls about storage solutions, plants, and asking to raid my fridge. Oh and the one call in which 3 girls in the background were gushing because the gist of the call was "Mom everyone wants a fruit hammock like you made for me".

The 3 Bonus Kids are OK. The eldest starts h.s. next semester & is trying out for football & has really turned things around for the most part. The middle starts m.s. next year & is behaving like a middle school girl, but is also very sweet. The youngest is still on her "oh I'm just a little baby who can't use her words & wants her dada" bullshit despite her mother's second child approaching a year of existence. I basically just pretend I don't understand or hear her until she uses actual words & I don't do tantrums. You wanna scream because you didn't get your way? Cool, but you're gonna do it in your room. The older 2 have realized that I will absolutely pay them CASH if they do chores, so I made an alacart style list of chores, the definition of said chore, and the payment for it if done correctly and they know that I will happily supervise & help them learn. I think it helps that I have really framed it as chores and stuff are meant to give them the independence of having money while teaching them necessary skills for adulting (cleaning, cooking, budgeting). Plus, you are a member of the household community & thus should contribute in whatever way you can. Example: the youngest is 6, but helps me change laundry over (saving my back), puts her laundry away, likes to clean mirrors or magic eraser the walls.

Oh yeah and I'm at a point where the unrelenting agony & exhaustion have made me enraged, as happens when spring hits after a long winter sometimes. Hence the murder of the swing set & my upcoming relocation & repair of the chicken fence.

How Traffickers Recruit Their Victims

Image credit to the original creator Whenever we picture what a trafficking situation involves, there's a stigma that it's done by strangers through kidnapping. That a young girl goes to a foreign country and gets taken. Hollywood and the media certainly give an interesting version of what human trafficking entails. However, these perceptions are untrue. Most cases of human trafficking don't involve kidnappings and aren't done by strangers. Traffickers use nefarious tactics that make their crimes untraceable to the ordinary human eye. Anyone can be a victim of human trafficking, and anyone can be a trafficker. Traffickers get their victims through manipulation. Instead of using violence, they use mind games. In the recruitment phase, traffickers rarely use violence to get a victim. There are a few main recruitment tactics when it comes to trafficking individuals for sexual exploitation or forced labor.  Boyfriend This term is exactly how it sounds. A trafficker will appear as whatever that child or adult needs them to be: a friend, parent, girlfriend/boyfriend, or mentor. "Boyfriend" is how a trafficker gains that person's trust, by giving them whatever they need. Money, new clothes, constant attention, flattery, promises of a happy life, the list goes on. Traffickers always target people in vulnerable situations. Children in foster care, a woman who just escaped an abusive boyfriend, drug addicts, or homeless. It's like your vulnerability is an invisible target on your back that abusers and traffickers can find. An example comes from Stop Modern Day Slavery. An interviewee and survivor, Kimberly Blitz, shared how she met some man when she was 14 (after dealing with personal loss and moving to a new city), and that man eventually became her trafficker. Kimberly shared, "I thought things were great between us until our first fight where he ended up hitting me. I remember thinking how wrong it was but at the same time justifying it. The next day he showed up with flowers, crying about how he never meant to hurt me. And then he said the three words I was craving to hear: 'I love you.'" Boyfriend is probably the most common way traffickers recruit their victims. By using psychological and emotional abuse, it makes it seem impossible for their victim to leave, let alone tell their family or law enforcement.  By pretending to care or show love, a trafficker gains power over their potential victim, because that person thinks they cannot live or survive without the trafficker.  False Advertisements Traffickers will tell people or post online about some well-paying job, travels, or modeling/acting gigs. Traffickers ensure the advertisement looks legitimate, so there is no doubt surrounding your mind. People who are desperate for money or a job will view the advertisement and think it is legit, only to learn the hard way it was a lie. If it involves travels to another country, that person or persons involved will seize documents and essentially hold you captive, forcing you to do horrendous things. Such was the case for Jane Doe, in an article shared by Fight The New Drug. This Jane Doe would become another victim of the GirlsDoPorn organization. She was told that she was auditioning for a fitness modeling job. Instead, she was flown out to San Diego, where she was forced to sign a contract, fed drugs and alcohol, and forced to perform for a porn video. She was raped for six hours. Many other women experienced similar situations from GirlsDoPorn. The GirlsDoPorn founder was wanted by the FBI and was caught in Spain back in December. He is currently being charged with "sex trafficking, production of child pornography, sex trafficking of a minor, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments." Others involved in the company were caught and charged with sex trafficking. False advertisements are commonly used by traffickers. Familial trafficking This is exactly how it sounds. Many people think human trafficking happens between strangers, but in many cases, traffickers target someone they know personally. According to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline, these are the statistics of people brought into trafficking by someone they knew in 2020: - 42% were brought into trafficking by a member of their own families. (Sex trafficking) - 39% were recruited via an intimate partner or a marriage proposition. (Sex trafficking) - 69% were recruited by a potential or current employer. (Forced labor) - 15% were recruited into trafficking by a member of their own family. (Forced labor) - 5% by an intimate partner or marriage proposition. (Forced labor) Polaris Project shares several stories (which you can read or watch) of survivors of familial trafficking. It's easier for traffickers to target someone they know since they already have that individual's trust and love, which they can manipulate against them. In the story of Sam, he explained the reason he never told anyone of his father trafficking him. "I loved him and I wanted him to be proud of me. I wanted him to love me as unconditionally as I loved him. To get that, it was my job to do what Dad wanted me to do – and not to tell anyone. That was how I would have a father-son relationship."  Conclusion Human trafficking doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's not a black-or-white issue. As you can see, it's very easy to be manipulated by people who claim to have your best interests at heart. It's important to be aware of these recruitment tactics, so we can know how to recognize if this is happening and prevent it from happening to ourselves and our loved ones.  Source link Read the full article

I made a post about my sexuality before but it wasn’t exactly understood.

I’ve done a lot of things to try and convince myself to be attracted. to anyone. to actors and actresses, to people just, looking good in some way. I’d be like “fuck that’s hot.” example would be Jenna Dewan doing the lipsync challenge and dancing to the pony song. I remember the comment specifically, I said “bro your wife is hot” towards Channing Tatum cause I had no idea who she was.

but here’s the thing. I know, for the most part (I think) when someone is attractive. like I know when someone hits the conventionally attractive buttons. I know all the Hollywood Chris’s and Ryan’s do it. but I have never felt attracted to any of them.

I also know that Benedict Cumberbatch is not conventionally attractive. yet he, at one point or still does, have an army of women wanting him. if he were a normal dude, he’d rarely get it. but women are less picky. just give a dude talent, charm, charisma, and women will think you’re fine as fuck. and even defend that you’re conventionally attractive (no ladies you’re literally just swooning cause of the talent, charm and charisma. he’s an average looking man for sure)

so with men I was like “ok I know the difference in looks between  Henry Cavill and Jack Black. and many MANY women would have no problem getting with Jack Black. but there be a difference.”

so I was thinking to myself “alright, I know what attractive when it comes to men but feel no attraction to every man my straight female friends tell me is gorgeous, then I’m................... a lesbian?”

but the problem was, I also felt no attraction to women? the reason it was a little different is that I just kinda thought... women are just overall more beautiful. it takes way less to put them in the conventionally attractive category. I’d argue with someone trying to tell me Margot Robbie fits in there but Amy Schumer doesnt. or Zendaya does but Mindy Kaling doesnt. or Gal Gadot does but Anya Taylor Joy doesnt. 

its almost as if the first woman I mentioned in each will 100% be attractive to every person on the planet, and the second woman is down to taste. whereas a man can look any type of way, from Hugh Jackman to Paul Rudd to Seth Rogen to Steve Carell and they’ll have a following of women. either cause they made their look somehow sexy or they’re just funny men and funny is super hot to women. men really really dont have to try hard.

so yeah cause I just kinda thought “women are just the better looking of the two” I thought I might possibly be a lesbian, despite... kind of... forcing myself to be attracted. Jennifer Lawrence impressed me so much in the first Hunger Games I thought I was attracted to her. but that was... just me processing the movie. I didn’t care for her afterwards. same with Emma Stone in every movie. undeniably gorgeous but I feel nothing???

this is how I know I wasn’t bi or a lesbian (always knew I wasn’t straight). bc bisexuals and lesbian were talking in a very different way than I was. I legit, have no interacted with someone on here or irl, who feels attraction the way I do.

I have even been labelled asexual.

[real-bjd-recast-community]

Okay, let's just dissect these typical example of "proartists" antirecas elitists who think of themselves as "good" because they'll allow you to get a Resinsoul if you're nice and let them "educate you" (because we're all ignorants, of course).

Let's just start by saying the obvious, you're not acting in the best interest of anyone else that you.

NO ONE ever said that Resinsoul dolls are bad. But it's funny that before recasts showed up around 2011, ANYONE with a RS doll was trashed like if today cyber bullying was a child's play for toddlers.

So, LET ME EDUCATE YOU:

Sometimes people don't like the aesthetics you though (in your superior throne) that people should buy (just so you can feel like your crowd owns our choices).

After all, it's implied people reading this blog, has an interest, it's planing to, or already own a recast. And if they LIKE a doll from a cheaper brand, it's perfect too. Prorecasts NEVER bring down ANYONE, or "give them norms to live by" like your side of the argument. The ones doing that are your crowd.

So try not to freak too much as I point your brainwashed mentality (that you try to pass on others)...

Typical example of hive mind dolly snob mentality passed from one generation of collectors to the next:

1 - ""buy cheap legits even if you don't like them personally, because I said that's what you should do""

2 - ""but please don't think I'm telling you what to do with your money!""

3 - ""there are some cheaper companies affordable to everyone!, even people like you, low class""

4 - ""this is a luxury hobby (maybe not made for you since you're lower than me), not a necessity! . . . If holding your dream doll close to you prevents your body harm or suicidal thoughts, pay for mental healthcare, and if you can't, everyone has to die at some point 🤷""

5 - "it's not my business how you spend your money....... except, it is.""

6 - ""I'll DM you a picture of my Resinsoul doll, because you surely NEVER heard of a company that's been since 2008 or so, and of course, you need to be educated""

7 - ""I'm not the type of proartists that will bash you, except that I will, like, if you don't do exactly what I think you should""

8 - ""finally, it's my mission to educate you, because you're an ignorant person who obviously needs to hear and do as I see fit, don't worry, no need to thank me for my superior advice""

Those are your points in a nutshell. ⬆️

That's how everyone in the "as a proartists myself" sounds to people with a brain cell on their own.

So, seriously?

I would say you need to rethink the way you talk to people, but it's 2022 and you've been doing the elitists part since 1999 Volks first dolls, so...

TIL that Audrey Plaza's "transphobia" was a joke about making up any rumours so how about she has a penis? in an interview in a European magazine once. She also has had two strokes and is socially awkward. I like her now.

That Lindsay Ellis' "racism" was comparing raya and avatar for their mishmash cultural approach and *not* talking about the Quileute's mistreatment in her Twilight hate fits a pattern of teen girl's interests being cringe to society because she didn't feel qualified to speak on it and it was a short form video.??? Dxllxghful I understand how she was asked certain specific things for years and didn't do them (and her apology video was tacky but that's besides the point)

I'm going to need people to use qualifiers because receipts are really hard to find. I want to trust folks but there is a difference between this person is racist (donates to the right and believes iq is genetic for example) and this person is not in tune with the racial intersections of feminism (made a video about twilight without a mention of the appropriation and desecration of Quileute culture), there are a few people i follow that i just can't trust anymore to give an honest assessment. Because we've got legit benevolent and malevolent bigots put in the same box as people who are still working on being better people who said something mildly off colour or badly phrased once. By those rules I'm racist, transphobic, anti prono and deeply ableist. And since I'll double down on my usage of 'crip' which can be both racist and ableist. You can consider me bad forever.

I don't want to unfollow anyone yet but I'm going to need people to think twice about reblogging callouts unless there's nuance or the receipts are present so we can decide for ourselves if that's offensive or just something inconsiderate. People I thought were ableist and could distress me, turns out they believe in chronic illness and mental illness but use the term cray cray and language isn't a deal breaker for me, attitude is. I want to be among fellow lefties and tag for correct triggers but I need nuance and honesty in my life. If you're likely to drop me for a mistake, let me know now. If you're going to miscategorize people who don't show patterns of behaviour and are essentially not the enemy, i'd like to set boundaries. I'm ND and have hyper honesty that I'm working on mitigating constantly, to be polite and protect myself but it also means I feel strongly about being misled and getting the most accurate information possible to the point of pedantry. That means I spent an hour explaining in detail how mga left hayden williams between a rock and a hard place not just MGAe bad. I don't know what I'm trying to say except I'm messy and sick of being scared of messing up further. And I'd like clarity from the people I trust not just blanket statements, by all means point out the terfs but don't say i dunno that Anthony Mackie is a homophobe because he word saladed about FatWS.

[isoldmysoultojonahclemence]

hello! I was wondering if u could make a summary of all the suitors' flaws n how Jonah would react to them

I would be more than happy to!

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

Ray: his main flaw is his willingness to trust others that are close to him. That doesn’t really sound like a flaw, but in Seth’s route, even though he knew that there was a spy, he still refused to believe that his one of his friends could’ve betrayed him. That’s super nice of him as a friend, but I feel like Jonah wouldn’t consider it as a good trait for a King.

Sirius: he has the physical inability to express his feelings properly. Like, in his own route, he barely ever said “I love you” to MC, and I feel like he’s trying really hard to fit into the “mature and stoic guy” category. Jonah kinda struggles with the same things (can’t talk about feelings + tries to be cool), but I don’t think he’d appreciate them in someone else. 

Luka: he’s unwilling to change his own perceptions. For example, in his own route, one of the big things he struggle with is feeling unimportant because ppl don’t need him. That’s not actually true, bc he’s the Jack of Spades now and an entire territory is depending on him, but he’s so stuck in his own idea of himself that he can’t even see it in another way until MC comes along. He also applies this to Jonah, and strongly believes that Jonah abandoned him when Jonah was training to become Queen. I don’t know if Jonah will understand why Luka acts likes this, but he’s always going to be sad when his beloved little brother detests him.

Fenrir: he’s way too obsessed with fights. Look, I know that his description is “a battle-crazy gun maniac” and he uses magically modified guns and he doesn’t mean any harm by liking to fight bc he’s a super active guy, it’s still kinda unsettling (also bc I can’t actually think of any other character flaws bc Fenrir is a good boi). Jonah would definitely find this behavior untasteful, especially since Fenrir also comes from a good family.

Seth: probably how manipulative he is. In his own route, his mission is to “seduce” MC into joining the Magic Tower (remind you of anyone else???), and he succeeds in making MC fall in love, like, 10 parts in. He also fell in love with MC along the way, but he lured her with his body XDD. Jonah probably disapproves of some of his methods, but he can’t complain too much because he kinda did the same thing.

Lancelot: he’s too self-sacrificing for his own good. I mean, when Amon became a threat, instead of telling everyone else about it, he chooses to shoulder the burden himself. I can understand that he’s trying to spare those that he cares about, but he should know that the others aren’t exactly weak and fragile. Jonah would be super frustrated by this (like in part 23 of his own route), and he’ll try to help his King in whatever way he can.

Edgar: his shadiness oof. Like, at first you think that he can be trusted, and then you think that he can’t, but in the end you find out you actually can. He’s like an inverted oreo: white on the outside, black on the inside, but actually still white deep down inside. Being the honest person he is, Jonah probably struggled with Edgar’s personality at first. But they’ve known each other since they were children so Jonah probably got used to it over time.

Zero: you know what? After mulling over this for ages, I can’t actually think of any of Zero’s flaws. He’s literally the goodest boi in Ikerev.  

Kyle: his insensitivity to others’ emotions. He cannot read the atmosphere most times and he’s also one of the most emotionally clumsy people in the game (afsdfdf he’s adorable). However, Jonah is the type of person who needs to be handled with care, since he’s not the most emotionally able person ever. It would’ve definitely rubbed Jonah the wrong way at first, but just like how it was with Edgar, Jonah probably got used to it over time.

Harr: his unfrienliness probably. He’s literally the nicest person once you get to know him, but the emphasis is on once you get to know him. Unfortunately, not a lot of people have that privilege, and this is even before he became the infamous Joker. He’s just naturally introverted and aloof. Actually, pre-Joker!Harr reminded me of Jonah, because they’re equally tsundere and bad with expressing their feelings. Apparently Harr and Jonah didn’t get along great tho, so maybe Jonah doesn’t like to see his own personality reflected in others.

Loki: he’s a bit too clingy and has a tiny bit of yandere-ish tendencies (though I wouldn’t consider him as a yandere). Jonah would understand the clinginess to those he cares about (he’s the cling of hearts for a reason guys), and he could probably understand Loki’s desire to hold on tightly to people that are important to him.

Blanc: he’s a jerk because he’s only giving us glimpses of his backstory without any clarification and it makes me want to tear my hair out. Jonah is gonna march up to Cybird HQ and demand a route for Blanc.

Oliver: in Ikerev TW, one of his descriptions was “毒舌” and it literally means “poisonous tongue,” which describes Oliver pretty well. I get that some people are pretty attracted by his quick wit, but generally speaking, insulting someone every other sentence isn’t exactly a good habit to have. But like, just imagine Oliver and Jonah getting into an argument. Idek who’s gonna win.

NOTE: I don't really know that much about the next three suitors (Mousse, Dean, and Dalim), so I'll have to make my best guess about their flaws. If their route comes out (goodness knows when that'll be), I'll come back and see if I've got anything wrong!

Mousse: definitely his sleepiness and tendency to fall asleep in places other than his bedroom. I totally understand the desire to sleep all day every day, but I can see why it’d be super annoying. At any rate, Jonah certainly seems to think so, since he abhors laziness and Mousse is pretty much the epitome of laziness (unless it comes down to the things that he like, and then he turns super energetic).

Dean: his cruel and unusual ways of punishment that’s referenced many times throughout the series??? I don’t know much about him tbh (sorry to all the Dean stans!!!). Jonah has never complained about it (or even mentioned Dean at all), but he must’ve been Jonah’s teacher during some point in the Ikerev universe, especially considering that Jonah and Harr were in the same grade and Dean makes an appearance in Harr’s Class Companions event route.

Dalim: probably that he’s overly-dedicated to those he’s loyal to. Dalim knows that Amon is not a good person and what he’s doing is very wrong, but he still does Amon’s bidding because he is a firm believer in Amon supremacy. However, he has tried to save Cradle on multiple occasions, so I guess that makes up for it. In fact, I think that Jonah would actually appreciate this flaw, because he’s just as dedicated to Lancelot as Dalim is to Amon, and they both tried to intervene when they believed that their King/Lord was up to something bad.

THIS FOLLOWING PART IS FROM @theboredhawk!!!

You could also say that one of Dean's more obvious flaws is that he's very blunt. While he's a smooth talker when it's convenient for him, more often than not he doesn't sugar coat his words when he's pointing out other people's flaws.He says it like it is. This might lead to Jonah being offended on more than one occasion. On the other hand, i don't think Jonah likes Dalim's debauchery. He might think that he fools around too much. He might've chastised him at some point, but gave up when he saw that he wasn't listening. Dalim is hard to tame. There were a few times when he didn't listen to Amon's orders and he also did that thing at the end of Ray's ttlg route which proved that he's not as loyal to his lord as he seems.

BONUS:

Jonah: Jonah literally stated himself that he knows how reckless and stubborn he is, but he doesn’t have any intentions of changing that. And I just. That’s actually such a strong thing to do??? He legit accepts himself as he is without trying to change anything about the way he is. Self-acceptance level 10/10.

You arrive at the front door a little too breathlessly in your haste. It should be embarrassing but blaming your increased pulse on your lack of fitness has your mind and, ironically, your heart resting easier than having to think that you're actually half-nervous and half-excited to see Jimin again.

Even though you literally saw him just yesterday.

You really need to pull yourself together better; you'd rather not have a repeat of pouring tomato sauce all over the counter because your hands got too shaky from Jimin watching you cook dinner (and after you insisted on him not needing to do anything too!)

You take in a fortifying breath, appearing to be squaring up to take the final stand in saving the world instead of simply seeing your boyfriend for what's essentially a stay-in dinner date. You punch in the pass code to the lock pad with practised ease, almost not giving enough time for the beep to chime as you push the door open.

“Jimin?” You call out in greeting once you toe off your shoes and slip on your pair of house slippers. Your eyes scan over the vast living room, spotting the head of raven locks peeking out from the end of the couch. Stepping closer, a smile sneaks its way onto your lips when you realize that he's most likely resting, given his lack of response. Quietly, you step into the kitchen area to set down your bags of grocery on the counter before you make your way to peer over the back of the seat. You're instantly smitten at what you see.

The sun is beginning to make its descent below the horizon, dying the clouds in an ombre of fiery oranges, pinks and reds against the remnants of soft pale blue sky. Thanks to the generous amount of window space the penthouse has, the golden glow easily washes over the interior of the living room and bathes everything with its light; Jimin being no exception.

It cascades over his skin like honey, high-lighting the bridge of his nose, the tops of his cheeks, and the shape of his cupid's bow. It makes his long lashes stand out so delicately and the equally dark strands of hair that falls gently over his forehead. Your fingers itch to sweep them away yet at the same time, you don't dare risk disturbing this sleeping beauty.

So unconsciously, you silently settle yourself on the top of the couch, resting your elbows on the cushion with your head propped up in your hand.

He looks so completely relaxed, one arm tucked behind his head, the other draped over his stomach. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbow, forearms toned and the first few buttons undone to expose a teasing view of his collarbones while black slacks hug his thighs perfectly (as per usual). If someone were to take a picture of him right now and slap on some big fashion name on it, you're pretty sure anyone who would see it would believe it to be a legit advertisement or a cover of a magazine.

Now that the thought has crossed your mind, temptation begins to rear its head. From the beginning, it's a no brainer what you imagine one would do given the opportunity of having a guardian demon that looks like the carbon copy of your favourite idol; do whatever you can to prevent said demon from stepping out into the world and risk slandering the actual person they're parading around as, or indulge in your wildest fantasies now that you have the means.

It's....a rather unique position to be in, with a plethora of mixed feelings to say the least.

After the initial shock of it wore off (which was really just taking three business day to process it all), you've come to the conclusion that this whole thing was, more than anything, weird. Some people might be able to turn a blind eye and though you're grateful that he had decided to look like Park Jimin from BTS, no matter how good of a disguise it was, it still doesn't change the fact that it's not Jimin.

You were grateful, but it made you a little resentful towards him.

With such a stark contrast, it's as if all of the good things you associated with that face had been sullied for something colder and unfeeling. You hated that he had chosen to use someone like Park Jimin – the perfect example of a good human being – to mask his much more sinister nature. You were sure it was part of some sick joke, and it felt...wrong.

Like you've lost part of a safe space in your world to the uglier side of the universe.

So in an attempt to preserve Jimin's good name in your heart, you were adamant in keeping your guardian demon at arms' length, hence why doing something as simple as taking a picture with him was out of the question. Not only would it not be in good faith, you can't begin to imagine what would happen if it got out to the world somehow.

And you succeeded....in the most unexpected way possible.

Maybe it was the deep rooted connection you had for Jimin, but there was always, without a doubt, a part of you that was soft to him. At first it had irked you, however over time, you realized it allowed for you to see another part of him that you wouldn't have otherwise. It made you open up to the idea that....he's not as bad as he seems.

You were afraid of losing a piece to your safe space when really, you ended up gaining an entirely new one instead, one that had become just as important.

So maybe that's why, as the longer you stared at Jimin (who's not Jimin but that doesn't mean he's worth anything less), the more you wanted to preserve this memory of him to keep for yourself. It's selfish you know, but things have changed, you've changed, and this is too good of a chance to pass up.

Your phone is out, hands steady as you pull up the camera and you want to laugh at how the image on your screen does no justice in capturing just how ethereal the sight before you is (of course it doesn't, should you really be surprised?) That doesn't stop your finger from tapping the snap button, because as they say, taking a picture lasts longer. The shot is satisfactory enough, getting him at an angle that show him from the waist up. You wonder if you can get another one, this time a little wider....

Well, you'll never know if you'd ever get the shot because your guardian demon chooses to wake up at that moment, locking piercing eyes with you through the phone. You immediately freeze.

There's a pause on his end before you see him pinpoint exactly what is going and a sly smirk tugs imperceptibly at the corner of his lips. “Cherub....” He greets, the low drawl sultry and irises pools of rich melted chocolate.

You gulp, straightening up while trying to inconspicuously put away your phone, a sheepish grin stretching across your face. “Rest well....?”

Jimin pretends to hum in deep thought, shifting so that he's facing more comfortably towards you. “For a good while yes....until my demon senses started tingling, telling me I was being watched. Should I be mildly concerned that you like watching me sleep?”

You scoff, “I don't always watch you sleep.”

“And you totally weren't snapping stalker photos of me.”

Your jaw drops, affronted but you don't go on to deny the claim. “Hey, calling them stalker photos is a stretch. And I'm just saying this because this was the only time I've ever – oof!”

Without warning, his hand had shot out to grab a hold of one of your wrist hanging over the back and with a strong tug, you fall face first onto his chest, an arm encircling you to keep you in place.

“Whatever you wanna call it, doesn't change that I'm still going to charge you for them.” You hear him playfully chastise above you. When you tilt your head up, you see him quirk an eyebrow at you expectantly. You blink, then roll your eyes, pretending to be inconvenienced by his stinginess, as if you're not ready to give him everything if he so much as breathes a word of it.

“Alright, what do you want?”

Jimin doesn't say anything in response, simply staring at you with those bottomless eyes, a smoulder simmering beneath their surface that it has you drowning in their depths. He watches you, unperturbed by your squirming (actually amuses in it) before you practically hear him purr, “What do you think I want?”

Your heart easily skips a beat (or more) and you're sure he can feel it beating frantically from your chest to his. While you're internally combusting, Jimin remains the picture definition of smug, free arm still propped behind his head the same time the other is wrapped around your waist, your face heating at the way you feel his thumb stroke at the strip of warm skin peeking out thanks to your shirt riding up a bit in the tumble.

He's actually infuriating, you think. Why's he gotta be so damn good at what he does?! You don't think he's even trying. Ugh, get it together, this is nothing new so it's not even a big deal! You can be cool about it too!

Giving yourself a chaotic pep talk apparently is what helps you find the courage to scooch up until you're able to land a chaste peck on the centre of his lips. Before you can fully withdraw, you already see the unimpressed look Jimin is shooting your way.

“I know you can do better than that.”

You puff, chewing on your lower lip into a pout; the deadpan in his voice makes you grumble at being called out, your neck and the tips of your ears burning now. Seeing you so flustered though, Jimin couldn't help but be endeared, then finally decide to ease up on the teasing he's been relentlessly subjecting you to. Slowly, he lowers the arm behind his head to gently take a hold on your chin, bringing your attention back to the adoring smile softening his features.

“Pretty cherub,” He coaxes, “Won't you give a little sweet treat for me?”

It takes everything in you to suppress the small whimper that wanted to jump out from the base of your throat at hearing those words. Whether it's teasing, cocky Jimin or loving, doting Jimin, you really aren't built to handle any of them at all, seemingly defaulting to a blushing mess no matter how hard you try be unfazed. Which is why after a moment of resigning to your fate, accepting that there was no point resisting when your heart and body have already betrayed you, do you close your eyes and give in wholeheartedly.

He welcomes you, carefully lets you mould your lips to his for a proper kiss and you helplessly melt against him. You don't think you can ever get used to the feeling but it's like Jimin doesn't mind one bit, pace unhurried to savour every press like it’s your first. Your mind becomes muddled the longer it goes on, and when you feel the swipe of his tongue, you're nearly gone. But as tempting as it is, you can't get too carried away here – you still have dinner to cook!

You allow yourself a few tantalizing licks before you part with great reluctance. Through hazy eyes you meet Jimin's, the little breath you have hitching from the sight of his swollen, moistened lips and dark brown irises now glowing a muted maroon, on the verge of igniting into full blown desire.

“Can't have you spoiling dinner so early.” You say, then embarrassingly avert your gaze at how your voice comes out raspy and thick.

You miss the way the corner of Jimin's mouth twitch, but catch the mischievous glint that's no doubt from mentioning the word 'dinner'. You put on your best scolding face, smacking his chest lightly in reprimand.

“No.”

“I didn't even say anything.” His incredulous retort is drowned out by the laugh he lets out with it, the sound has you struggling to maintain your 'serious' front.

“You were thinking it.”

“Are you sure it's not you projecting your own thoughts onto me?”

You humphed, about to turn away and get off your personal body pillow but Jimin's hold remains steadfast. He sneaks a quick kiss to your forehead once you settle back down again as a means to placate you, chuckling softly, “Okay, okay, I'll behave.”

You giggle lightly, cheeks pressed into his collarbone as you give an approving hum, cuddling even closer to his person and you both lapse into a comfortable silence, breaths in sync. Outside, the final rays of the setting sun disappears below the city's horizon, taking the warmth of the day along with it.

But you find no lack in that when you're lying here in his embrace, because whereas the sun comes and goes, yours remains unwavering.

Levi Headcanons

& some small analysis of my thoughts on Levi facts by Yams

No one, I repeat no one asked for this but I guess here we go I need to get those of my chest

Here are some very specific Levi headcanons that live in my head rent free. I shared those with @ladyofpandemonium yesterday and I had to post them

Topic: Levi and Marriage if you squint you can see some general Levi in a relationship thoughts

Next one is Levi and his love for apples, don't even question why

Listen, a fresh out of the underground Levi thinks that marriage doesn't really have to happen to bind two people together. He stands by it at all costs, because he believes in the dynamics of human relationships and doesn't give a shit about things that are set up by religion or law.

But supposing he has an s/o, a person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, a person that knows him like the back of their hand, its not bound that that his s/o won't bring up marriage, they probably will at some point

But it won't be them expressing that they want to get married, it's probably among the lines of conversing about another couple, or after Erwin shares that he liked Marie, who eventually married Nile and Levi dismisses the topic many times, saying that for him marriage is pointless and that he doesn't like the fact that people act like it's the only thing that binds couples together.

I'm pretty sure though that the thought of marriage will come randomly to him, maybe while reading a book and there's a marriage scene in it. His imagination is going wild, he loves to imagine an altar bathed in the yellow light of the sunset, some of it peaking through the colored glass that decorates some windows and the way it reflects on parts of the room. He doesn't want guests, so he never daydreams about anyone else other than himself and his s/o in this certain situation.

I think he'd like to see himself in that setting and by making these scenarios in his head he'd feel like he wants to experience them. At one point, maybe while cleaning, it would all come to him again and he'd find himself imagining he's there, waiting for his s/o to walk towards him.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he's the most romantic person ever. He doesn't know how to be romantic, he can't find himself in a position to be romantic either. He's not bound to make anyone swoon with his words like Erwin could and he's not cheerful and cute, he's not a person you could fall for easily, given his past and upbringing, but this doesn't mean that he can't and won't dream about things he reads in books.

I think that, also, he'd long to be officially claimed by someone just as much as he'd love to claim someone his officially as well. Jump on me all you want about this, but it feels like he would love to find a home in a person, marriage aside, he wants to be held, he want to be someone's Levi. Not just Levi.

He's spent most of his life uncertain of his own last name. Again he was just Levi for most of his life so when he'd give it a second thought he'd like to feel that joy. That he can hold a hand and lean on a shoulder and that he could be with a person who he could be open with without having to talk much. Levi wants someone to want him as he wants them and he'd give his whole heart in his s/o.

Plus, Levi seems, to me at least, like he is one who won't stubbornly stick to his ideas if his s/o expresses they want something.

Say for example you want to sleep with him, you want to cuddle him, you want to shower him in kisses, you want to give him a long, hot bath. At first, he'd say no. It's a new territory for him, he doesn't know how to provide all that affection, he can't bring himself to believe he'd enjoy them. But on second thought?

On second thought he sleeps with his s/o between his legs in the loveseat in his office, on second thought he kisses his s/o chastely on the cheek randomly, on second thought he lets himself loose in his s/o's embrace. And eventually he'd find himself wanting to rest his head on his s/o's chest, he'd want to put his head on their thigh's and have a much needed nap, he'd be willing to make some time to step in a hot bath after having a shower to get rid off the dirt. (Of course he wouldn't like to float in his own filth)

It's not that he feels like he has to change who he is to fit into someone else's standards. He's just open to new things after giving them much thought, he wants to keep moving forward and get better.

And since he likes to adapt his traits to other people's (something I do as well) you'll find your Levi to be open to become a better partner. I'm not talking about him changing, not at all, if you want to be with him you have to accept what comes with him but when it comes to his partner he's soft and loving and needy. It's much more deviant to what he paints himself to be in front of everyone.

Thus if his s/o even so as lingers on the subject of marriage he keeps thinking about it and he likes that it could be a scenario made into reality. And I think that he would probably and randomly announce to his s/o that they should get married if they both think it can happen.

With Levi such things come out randomly, he can't never find the right place or time to set the ground to try new things, he just thinks that blurting them out is the way to go, it saves him from being embarrassed, remember -he gets all stuttery around someone he likes-

And another reason why I think he would get married is that maybe if him and his s/o planned to have children he'd never want anyone to doubt them.

He knows in their setting that children born outside of marriage aren't really considered legit he'd hate for anyone to look down on his children as if they were him.

He wants his children to have a full name, to know that they have a family they belong into. He would never, ever let his children become that heartbreaking 'just Levi' human beings.

This could be a time for me to write Levi as a father and my opinion on it, but I'll save that for another time
