DOING YOKI FIRST :3

(Yoki belongs to me!!! Everything else credits to Gatobob!!!)

WARNING

This post incudes very heavy topics, nsfw, 18+ stuff, and overall just not very good things. Do not read if you are sensitive to these things.

Read warnings before pressing more please!!!

(Events of BTD 1 happen with Ren and Strade but Ren was kidnapped at 19 and decided to escape at 21, still dealing with a bit of stockholm syndrome he never actually goes to police after.)

After escaping Strade and building himself back up Ren ends up paying a prostitute to fuck during his heat. And because of this it caused an accidental pregnancy she didnt want. She wanted nothing to do with the baby but she also couldn't afford to get rid of it. Instead she just waited it out and after having Yoki she tracked down Ren and gave Yoki to him. Ren took full custody of her and Yoki's mom hasnt been seen since. Ren named Yoki (full name Yokino) and raised her all by himself even thoughit was a bit of a struggle. Ren allowed Yoki to be more free and give into her animalistic instincts more which also caused her to be much more animalistic then Ren. Aka being more feral and getting triggered much easier around like blood or food (especially when hungry). As a young child she really liked meat of course, especially rabbit. Due to Ren taking her out into the woods sometimes and allowing her to hunt she enjoyed bringing back a fresh kill with her bare hands (even when being young she was still able to do it). He doesnt mind Yoki hunting on her own, actually enjoys it and is happy it makes her happy. As long as she doesn't come back home covered in blood or brings the dead animal she killed on the porch he doesnt care. Hes proud of his little girl. At a young age Yoki was introduced to Rens jobs but she didnt really care. Since she basically grew up with it even as a baby its sorta just a thing she knows about and Ren does. They are animals afterall. They have to give into their instincts at some point. Over time Ren started disposing of his 'stars' a different way by giving them to his private chef and asking them to cook it. It helped dispose of bodies easier and quicker all while having a good meal after. Because of this Yoki developed a taste for human flesh. Now she can't go a week without having her favorite meal, human heart. From rabbit hearts to human hearts. Yoki absolutely loves shopping and spending daddys money. Like once a week she gets his black card and goes shopping. Ren doesnt mind though since at this point hes pretty loaded. Plus he loves making his little girl happy. Ren and yoki have probably the most healthiest relationship out of all 3 kids. Ren has raised her well and the best way he can all while giving her a comfortable happy life.

As a young child yoki was often bullied in school for being a freak since beastkin are rare to find. It wasnt until around highschool she started to gain popularity due to her getting popular online. Shes your average tiktok and Instagram girly and being the daughter of a rich guy everyone wanted to be her friend after that. During middle school though she did make a few friends (and a few enemies) but nothing to serious. Basil was her number one friend all the way though just because of how well they bonded together (or well she bonded with basil). She saw him as a close friend and even better a brother to her. And with Hanz. Well he was the little prick. He was the main person that targeted both Yoki and Basil, picking on them and even going so far as to pull on Yoki's tail. Then one day he hust stopped and started staying to himself. Nobody knows what happened to Hanz during that and he never said what happened. Yoki alway knew Ren had scars but never knew what caused them. After learning some information from Hanz when they were older she gets help from one of Rens men to get on the web and check out of what she heard was true, and after snooping around on Strades account she finds out why Ren is that way. And due to this she gets in a small fight with Hanz but they end up settling it out. Yoki and Hanz are sorta a thing when older? But not? Its nothing serious. Mainly because Ren doesnt accept or like it at all. If he could he'd kill Hanz and Strade. He wants nothing to do with strade whatsoever even though Hanz did nothing wrong. Ren found out about Hanz and Strade during a parent teacher conference. Ren knew about Hanz before because Yoki would complain he would pick on her but after finding out it was strades kid he seemed to hate them both even more. Ren would have pulled yoki out of school if it wasnt for it being the only decent school around and plus he wanted Yoki to interact with other children. He couldnt just take that from her and hide her away. So he just protected her from afar. Ren wants nothing to do with Strade and as long as he doesn't bother him or Yoki he doesnt care. Strade likes the thought of fucking with Ren even if hes not doing anything. He could just sit back and relax as Hanz does all the work for him.

Yoki does know a bit of Japanese from Ren and Ren taught her a bit about their culture (trying to remember what his mother taught him). After getting older she could maybe only remember a few things but not everything.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ASK!!! :3

Wild and revolutionary concept: maybe don't treat converts like trash just because they're converts? And also don't ask someone if they're a convert in a public setting?

#having lunch before shabbat and had to remind my friend not to do this to people #like i get it might be a hard concept for some born jews to understand but one thing jumblr has taught me #is that its a sensitive and private topic #you dont just.bring it up. especially not in front of people? #because i have seen other born jews get all Different when they find out someone is a convert #and its crazy disrespectful #side note you can disagree w a convert about their opinions on certain things #and still not go after them for being a convert #thats a dif topic though #anyway unless the convert is openly inviting that convo #dont fucking bring it up???? #jumblr #judaism #jewish #jewish conversion #like it prob feels like how i do when someone treats me dif for being baal teshuva #its just a shitty thing to do in general #dont bring it up? #if you have to ask they prob havent told you for a reason #yes even if its from a movement you don't think is vaid #like what do you expect them to go back to their rabbi and be like 'is like to return this conversion and exchange it for orthodoxy' #thats not how it works they already converted to that movement what is the point of you trying to make them feel bad about it #like what do you change or affect by doing that #same w being baal teshuva #you want me to get in a time machine and tell my parents to move to a jewish community? #whats the point of saying anything just shut up

1st House Synastry

Venus

instant attraction & special chemistry. both make evident the fascination they feel for each others bodies. there is a general adoration simply for who the other person is. venus is obsessed & mesmerised by houses appearance. venus finds house physically perfect & irresistible. this could make house feel like the rxship feels superficial & empty, or it could make house feel seen & loved. on the other hand, venus may feel like house isn’t truly ever enough & house may feel like they always have to be “perfect” around venus. depending on how low or high venus’s self esteem is, once venus becomes comfortable around house, they may become envious & critical towards houses looks & image. venus may keep making comments on houses body, reminding house of their flaws. regardless, these partners always look aesthetically good together. their physical appearance just fit perfectly, barbie & ken vybz. (cancer venus/ taurus asc)

Mars

initially, mars is instantly turned on by house & its often more of a superficial attraction. consequently, mars readily pursues house with a straightforward approach. this quickly captures houses attention & house feels either intrigued or irritated. however, if mars has a inferiority complex, due to feeling threatened by house, mars will resist making a move, even though both partners usually struggle hiding their feelings or intentions from one another.

within this synastry, there isn’t necessarily romantic compatibility but there is definitely physical connection. for example, saying "i hate you" & kissing each other right after. sex is very passionate & powerful, with rough & competitive air. due to the aries influence, this can be a feisty couple, privately & publicly. both partners want to seize the dominant role & one assumes the other likes to provoke them. house may often annoy mars unintentionally & mars may often lack sensitivity towards house. this clash can lead to hurt feelings & even violence. outsiders struggle to understand this complicated dynamic.

house brings out the protective, jealous & possessive side of mars.

this partnership may alter houses identify bc mars can motivate & urge house to be the best version of themselves. house develop more passion, assertiveness, confidence, bravery & ambition due to mars’s influence. however, if mars has low self esteem, they’ll become envious & critical towards houses image. mars may keep making comments on houses appearance & reminding house of their flaws. (cancer mars or taurus asc)

Moon

there’s plenty of emotional openness in this caring & gentle rxship. there is no ‘get to know each other’ phase, partners instantly *know* one another from the first meeting & feel very comfortable around each other. partners easily let the guards down & struggle to keep secrets from one another. partners share similarities causing them to understand & accept one another easily. they may have familiar forms of behaviour & mirror each others temperamental tendencies. they know eachothers sensitive spots & what topics to avoid. (cancer moon or aries asc)

this aspect brings out the protective side of moon but it’s more of a calm, delicate & emotional protection. for example, worrying abt houses health & well-being. moon views house as family even if they’re-not related. moon instinctively knows what will happen to house or who house really is.

house perceives moon as a very emotional & soft person who provides them plenty of attention, affection & understanding. there is something abt the way moon looks or acts that makes house feel immediately safe & calm.

Work The Case

Request from @doctorsteeb: This may be too sensitive a topic but just an idea— Hotch!daughter taking out a school shooter?

Aaron Hotchner x daughter!reader

Summary: A normal Tuesday takes a turn when you come face to face with your father's work.

A/N: Not going to lie I wasn't going to write this because I felt like the idea was too sensitive but then I remembered that I'm the queen of writing too sensitive things in real life so I may as well do that here too (within limits of course. I still have ethics). So here it is!

CW: school shooting, fatal gun shot, talks of foyet, talks of dead mothers, talks of car crashes, talks of drunk driving, talks of divorce, Jackson Pollok slander

---

The morning started out like any other Tuesday: you got up and ready for the day before having breakfast with your dad and brother- oatmeal and orange juice- then your dad drove you and Jack to school. Jack always got dropped off first at the elementary school, and you at the high school. The ride between the two was short, but it was always long enough for a small, private conversation between you and your father.

“You okay?” he asked you. 

Ugh. Profilers.

“I’m…” You thought about saying ‘fine,’ but you knew he wouldn’t take that as an answer. You sighed. “The teacher let the class vote on what chapter we would cover in class next, so we started on abnormal criminal psychology yesterday.”

“Oh.” You’d never heard your dad sound so uncertain.

“It’s an extra chapter. Since it’s not listed in the curriculum we aren’t being tested on the material. The teacher told me I could spend that period in the library if it was… too much,” you finished.

You dad pulled in front of the school, leaning over to kiss you on the forehead goodbye. “Whatever you need, sweetheart.”

“Thanks,” you told him. 

“Try to have a good day,” he said before you shut the car door.

You nodded. “I’ll try.”

---

You took your teacher’s offer and went to the library instead of their classroom. The space was large, but mostly empty of people- there was just the librarian behind her desk and a few students scattered amongst the tables. You took a seat and pulled out your homework, trying not to think about what they were learning back in the classroom. You’d honestly overheard enough phone calls that whatever they were learning about you already knew. There was a buzz in your pocket, which automatically made you freeze. You kept your phone on do not disturb through the school day. The only reason your phone would buzz would be if your dad was texting you… and if your dad was texting you it was an emergency.

You pulled your phone out and you were right- it was a text from your dad. Three words: Work the case.

Shit. That was code for you and Jack to hide- to hide somewhere that you wouldn’t be found unless you wanted to be. You looked around the library, but the area was like an open plain. You shoved your work in your backpack and hurried towards the doors-

BOOM!

A gunshot.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

People began to scream. Through the glass windows of the library you could see students running, but it wasn’t because they were late to class. The lockdown alarm sounded and you scrambled under one of the tables, hoping it would be enough cover.

There was a stillness and a silence for a minute and you hoped that it was over, but gunshots rang out again- this time they were louder than they had been before. Someone was getting closer.

Your heart was pounding in your chest, making it feel as though your entire body was thumping to its too-fast rhythm. You wanted to cry, but you didn’t shed any tears. You wondered if this was what it had been like for Jack when Foyet had killed your mother and then tried to kill your father. As part of WISTEC, you had been sent away to a private boarding school with an alias while Jack and your mom were sent elsewhere. In the end, sending you away had saved your life, but now you were wondering if you were going to die soon anyway.

That was, until the library doors burst open. From your view under the table you could only see old shoes and baggy jeans but you heard the shots that were fired into the air.

“Get up! All of you!” It was a male voice.

You, along with the six other students in the library that had all dropped to the floor, looked around at one another- who would make the decision to stand up or stay down? Who would make that call?

More shots were fired. “I said get up!”

You thought about your dad- what would he do? And so you were the one to make the call, the first student to crawl out slowly from under the table and rise, your hands held up to show that you were no threat. The rest of the students followed your lead. This was your team now- if one of them died, it was on you.

You looked at the shooter and you knew who he was- Timmy Rogers. He’d been in some of your classes in middle school and high school. He had always been quiet- the kind of kid who did well in class but never answered any questions. The person who put their share into a group project and didn’t complain about having to pick up the slack if someone else bailed. He was nice enough of a person that you wouldn’t have expected him to be holding a firearm in the middle of your school, but then again most unsubs could keep themselves hidden for years- that much you knew.

“Line up against the wall. Now!” he shouted.

You walked calmly to the wall while some of the other students scampered. One girl was crying. Another boy’s fists were twisted with fear. The librarian was on her knees, pleading with Timmy. “You’re a good boy. You always have been. Your mother-”

“Don’t talk about my mother! Don’t talk about me! You don’t know me!”

“Yes I do,” the librarian was crying. “I do know you and your mom wouldn’t have wanted-”

Timmy pulled the trigger and she was gone. He marched over and grabbed the girl who was crying, dragging her out in front for the rest of you to see. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry!” She fell to her knees. “Please, I’m sorry-”

You thought quickly about everything you knew about Timmy. He wasn’t an athlete by any means but he joined the wrestling team anyway, he liked art and his project last year was based on his parent’s divorce, his father was a marine, and his mom…

Oh. His mom had died in a car crash last week. She was hit by a drunk driver.

“You never cared about me!” he yelled. “Nobody cares about me. Nobody cared about her-”

“I did.” You didn’t know where the words came from- they were solid and bold and half a lie, but they made Timmy let go of the girl.

“And who are you?” He pointed the gun in your direction. You wanted to scream, but you didn’t.

“I’m (Y/N) Hotchner. W-we had art class together last year.” You hoped your stumble wasn’t too obvious.

“Yeah, and why does that matter? Why should I let you live? Why should I let any of you live?” He waved the gun around in the air, making some of the students shriek, but somehow you stayed calm even though you wanted to explode. 

“Y-your mom died in a car crash last week. But it wasn’t her fault. It was the other person who was driving drunk and it wasn’t fair that they got to live and she had to die,” you said.

“Why do you care?” He spat.

You reached deep down… really deep. “My mom died too. She was murdered by a serial killer. She deserved so much better, just like your mom did.”

Timmy paused, the gun in his hand was shaking but still pointed at you. From your view, you could see that through the glass there were officers moving into the school. No. Not just officers- they were wearing FBI vests. Help was almost there, you just had to stall.

“My parents got divorced too,” you said. “Your final project last year really spoke to me- your dad was away all the time and your mom got tired of it, even though they still loved each other.” That was a total lie- the guy was about as talented as Pollok, but you had to find something. “My parents were the same way.”

Now Timmy was crying. You could see behind him that agents were moving towards the library, but you were too focused on stalling Timmy that you weren’t focused on their faces.

“And I was at a boarding school when she died so I was alone- all alone, just like you, Timmy. My mom died and nobody was there to comfort me. My dad wasn’t with me, just like your dad isn’t here right now.”

He was so distracted by your words that he didn’t even notice that the library doors had opened behind him allowing Agent Morgan, Dr. Reid, and your dad to come in unnoticed.

“He- he didn’t even come for her funeral-” Timmy’s hand was getting weaker. He was crying harder. “I-I can’t reach him-”

“I know. I couldn’t reach my dad either since I was still in WISTEC. They couldn’t tell me anything about him until I got home. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I care that it’s not fair.”

Timmy dropped the gun, crumbling to the ground in a fit of tears. Agent Morgan tackled him, pulling his hands behind his back while Dr. Reid disabled the firearm. Your dad ran straight to you, gripping you in a bone crushing hug and you sobbed into his chest.

He pulled you in tighter, stroking a hand down your hair. “It’s over, sweetheart,” he whispered. “I’ve got you. It’s over.”

“I worked the case, dad,” you managed to get out between your sobs. “I worked the case.”

Hi! I really liked your "chubby reader" headcanons, can you do same with Smoke and Kenshi?

okay guys… let’s be honest. tomas is inexperienced as hell. he’ll definitely have good intentions, but i can see him as a super fumbly boyfriend—he’s obsessed with wanting to say the right thing and with not upsetting you in any way.

being in the lin kuei—i doubt that he’s really had any interaction with anyone other than his brothers and the other ninjas. now, with that being said, in some of the intros… he’s become friends with johnny. and i think johnny would influence him, especially with relationships. but not negatively! in the way where he tells tomas about how sensitive some people can be on the topic of weight—and because tomas is so enamored with you, he really takes this to heart. he doesn’t want to mess up

tomas is the type of boyfriend to ask if he can touch you. again, making you uncomfortable is the last thing on his mind—so when you’re alone, expect him to truly ask if it’s okay for him to feel the your body. even innocent touches, really.

that being said, the more he’s comfortable, the more bolder he would be. he’d especially love cuddling you in the nighttime; savoring the contrast between your two bodies. to him, you feel like home—and after being rejected by bi-han and losing his family, that’s all he really wants or needs

he’s sweet. if you were to be insecure and be hesitant with him touching you in any way… expect a lot of apologies but also a lot of praise from him. like bihan, he wouldn’t understand WHY you felt this way. to him, you’re the most beautiful person he’s ever met—he lays awake at night thinking how he was even able to date you. but he wouldnt be a dick about it. he would tell you how much he loves your body; regardless of your weight or the shape of your body—you’re you. that’s all he wants

kenshi can’t see you, so… to make up for that, he spends a lot of time touching you. everywhere. he wants to create an image of how you look in his mind—since he can’t see you physically, he spends the most time memorizing every curve and shape of your body.

when with him, expect touches… everywhere. not only your face, but the soft parts of your body. he is very, very hands on… he has to be. (just know, if he has his sight, he’d spend entirely too much time looking at you and admiring your beauty)

and especially in private—after a life of struggle and seeing his clan fall and be so influenced by the yakuza… there’s nothing better to wash the bad memories away than the feeling of your body on his. even though its not really touched on, i think kenshi has been through a lot of things. not only that, but he’s soon to be the leader of his clan to help separate them from the yakuza’s influence…. basically, the man is stressed. let him cuddle you

don’t be mistaken, though. he doesn’t just want to feel you with his hands… kenshi, though i don’t really see him as an affectionate guy, would definitely want to feel the softness of your body with his own. pressing up against you (in private), pulling you into his arms to feel you on his chest—seriously, nothing makes him happier.

he strikes me as a pretty caring lover. if you were to voice that you were insecure about your body, he would really do everything he can to ensure you know just how much he loves you—if you feel an increase of his hands on you or feel his chest on your back… that’s why. weight is not and has never really been something that’s ever deterred him from liking someone

(secretly, his favorite thing about you is your weight—it brings a sense of comfort to him)

hello lovely! Hope you're well! Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong but I keep thinking about how if tsaheylu is such a comforting bonding action, do you think the na'vi only join during mating or in other cute private moments too? I can't stop thinking about tsaheylu whilst cooking together or just star gazing/cloud watching and soaking in each others existence - how do you think the avatar mens relationships might incorporate tsaheylu into the little moments with their loved ones??????

author’s note ; ANON!!! ARE YOU LIVING INSIDE MY WALLS?? i was Literally thinking about this concept a few days ago.. so like the nerd that i am, i did a Lot of research on this topic and, no joke, i read a ton of official content about na’vi culture and customs; but tsaheylu is only described as a neural connection served to share sensory information between the na’vi, pandora and its’ creatures. but the fun of fandom is that i can make with that whatever i want ;) also, wasn’t in the mood to make a header or post separately :p

pairing: neteyam, lo’ak, tsu’tey, jake, ao’nung, rotxo, tonowari x reader

content ; tsaheylu as a bonding pastime and a form of affection, established relationship + mating bond, afab!pregnant!reader, na’vi!reader, dreamwalker!reader, eyktanay!neteyam, children + parenting, fluff, aged-up!characters, lowercase intended

・・・・・・  ɴᴇᴛᴇʏᴀᴍ

  ﹒ɞ  during meals by virtue of being so busy with his eyktanay duties, the second in command in the clan after his father, neteyam ensures to cherish all of the moments he gets to spend with you, as sparse as they may be. he makes sure to hunt your favorite meats and harvest the tastiest of fruits, with only your satisfaction at the forefront of his mind. whether you choose to have your meals on the communal grounds, or separately, at your marui, or any other place, neteyam aims for your comfort. he will let you accommodate yourself, always giving you some space to sort yourself out—but the moment you sit down alongside him, he's quick and eager, carefully grabbing both of your kuru and performing the connection. neither of you minds whoever is near, as you prepare the food to your liking, all the while sitting so close you feel like one. the physical proximity only intensifies the tsaheylu, it makes your skin prickle with sensitivity, hairs standing on end, only soothed by the warm touch of his hand on your hips, shoulder, and arms. there's no need for talking, aside from quips and short comments regarding his duties, anything else is shared through the bond, picked up by your neural tendrils and felt deep in your being. the food tastes better, your responsibilities are merely distant thoughts, there’s not a single worry in your mind, and all because of him.

ㅤ

・・・・・・  ʟᴏ'ᴀᴋ

  ﹒ɞ  when cuddling i say that lo'ak performs tsaheylu with you the second most out of all of them. he is an affectionate person by nature, always craving your touch and connection, and the familiarity it brings with it. he enjoys spending all of his free time with you, either in the presence of others or by yourselves, but he prefers to keep the action of bonding just between you two. whether you're unwinding at your marui after a long day, or cuddling into his side at the shore as you watch the sunset, there's no doubt that either of you has reached out to connect your tswin just as you arrived. it is a comforting practice, having you pressed against him as you enjoy the leisure waves of your emotions washing over the both of you. pair that with his physical intimacy, in the form of a gentle stroke of your hair, the faint graze of his fingertips along your skin, his tail playfully flicking at yours, the low murmur of his voice next to your ear, and you're sure to reach nirvana. it's not uncommon for both of you to fall asleep like this, tangled in one another, swayed and lulled into slumber with the only thought in your minds being each other.

ㅤ

・・・・・・  ᴛꜱᴜ'ᴛᴇʏ

  ﹒ɞ  while performing your chores it took quite some time for your human mind to comprehend the spiritual and physical importance of the kuru to the na'vi. tsu'tey had slowly guided you through the process of bonding with a pa'li and an ikran, patient with the minimal grasp you had over his customs and culture, all the while, you were completely unaware of his desire to bond with you, or of that being a possibility, even. now that you are bonded, he is overtly eager to perform the tsaheylu with you in your day-to-day; of getting to feel all of your emotions, and acquaintance himself with all of your thoughts, desires, and fears. it's exhilarating and domestic in a way you wouldn't ever think capable of being. any time you are at your marui, cleaning, weaving, tsu'tey is always at your side, tswin connected to yours, as he partakes in his own activities. you can feel the shivers along his skin, the itching thought that plagues him, that warm, fluttering feeling whenever he gazes at you. time goes by quickly like that, with neither of you noticing or caring—too enthralled by the intimacy and the distinct softness of your affection for one another, with no need for touch.

ㅤ

・・・・・・  ᴊᴀᴋᴇ

  ﹒ɞ  while caring for your children parenthood came easy for both you and your mate, it just felt right from the beginning, when you held your firstborn for the first time and everything just clicked into place. jake loves spending time with the kids, and it seems that it's all that you do as of lately—four children are quite a handful, after all. and so, in the middle of all the craziness of your family life, you separate a few moments for yourselves, to be connected and present for one another, through the tsaheylu. be it during a cuddle pile, as your children snore and drool over the both of you, or as you bathe them in a lake one by one, both feeling all the happiness and love doubled through the bond as you watch your kids splash each other and play their small people games. the comfort the action brings is very grounding; a reminder that you're present with each other, as well as present for one another during all the moments of your lives, and your children's. jake loves feeling your emotions through the link, and he never forgets to sit down for a while and watch it all unfold, your bright smile and the gleam in your eyes. it's a special moment between all of his favorite people. 

ㅤ

・・・・・・  ᴀᴏ'ɴᴜɴɢ

  ﹒ɞ  as you prepare to sleep sob, sniffle, just thinking about ao'nung sorting out a time for you every night so you can talk over your day and bask in each other's presence <3 he gently takes your hand right as you enter your marui, careful not to drag you abruptly, and leads you toward the hammock so you can sit down to rest your swollen legs. you're accustomed to it by now, reaching for his kuru absentmindedly as he stands over you, spilling every single thought inside his head, while he dries the saltwater from your skin with a cloth—and if you take too long, he'll hastily connect your neural tendrils himself. his yearning to perform tsaheylu with you is adorable, not only because he adores you and always wishes to be tethered to you as one, but he aches to feel the child in your womb, as well. he places his forehead on your belly, speaking to you quietly in between the kisses he pecks over your skin. it is all very delicate and vulnerable, as you can feel all the affection he pours through the link, and it always brings tears to your eyes. that's his way of reaching out and connecting with you, of letting you feel all of the enthusiasm he doesn't outwardly show. 

ㅤ

・・・・・・  ʀᴏᴛxᴏ

  ﹒ɞ  when weaving and crafting your mate spends a lot of his time weaving and crafting you gifts, pouring much of his love into the craft. and it's no surprise that you're with him in those moments, either lying beside him as he works, or sitting so close to him he sometimes feels the need to ask for some space, or else his hands begin to falter. every time this happens, your tswin are linked, and you peacefully enjoy the quiet as you watch him work. you can feel all his dedication and affection through your connection, and it's all very sweet, as you watch his hands dexterously create something completely dedicated to you. the tsaheylu only strengthens rotxo's words and actions, not that there is any need for it, because he makes it very clear how devoted he is to you and the relationship. so you take the opportunity to let him know, and feel, how much he means to you, and how grateful you are for being so loved and taken care of—by thinking and remembering of all your favorite moments alongside him, so that he can feel all the love and devotion through the link. sometimes you're so intensely invested in this, that rotxo needs to stop weaving from how hard his hands are trembling.

ㅤ

・・・・・・  ᴛᴏɴᴏᴡᴀʀɪ

  ﹒ɞ  while counseling the clan people tonowari is such a busy man—both of you are, being leaders of your clan and ministering every decision and caring for all of the people. the time you spend together is scarce and it ends too soon; for most, that would be the cause of countless fights and the origin of unhappiness, but your love is strong and you nurture it every day through small, meaningful acts. Any time spent together is an opportunity to be as close and connected to each other as you can. So performing tsaheylu while tending and counseling the clan folk is common, and despite being such an intimate act, not a cause of embarrassment. in fact, being connected while making important decisions has proved to be very effective, as you can feel each other's emotions and thoughts through the tswin as if they were your own—it makes it easy to understand your mate and compromise with him. it makes for a beautiful impression, as you sit side by side in the middle of the dwelling, knees and thighs touching; tonowari expertly soothes and advises a hunter, meanwhile, you tenderly spread healing balm over the wound of another. it is a sentimental form of intimacy, a testimony of the devoted understanding in your relationship. where others see hassle, you and tonowari only see cooperation.

Conan the Barbarian and how it correlates to Mike's inner struggles

I know the topic of Mike's bedroom has been talked to death, whether it's the one-way sign or the buff dragon with nipples poster. However, rarely do I ever see talks on the Conan the Barbarian poster or even on the film itself, which is properly due to the film being somewhat notorious for its terrible treatment of women.

Whenever I do see it, people usually stick it up to being a part of his gay sexual awaking, which was sprinkled throughout his introduction in this season. And while I agree that's a part of it, I believe that they choose this film specifically rather than its sequel (which was only two years old in 86') for its depictions of minorities and masculinity to perfectly sum up his struggles with not only conformity but also toxic masculinity of the 1980s.

A HEADS-UP WITH TALKS OF SEXISM, RAPE, HOMOPHOBIA PLUS BREIF NUDITY.

Let's start with how it portrays sensitivity among men. Right off the bat, we see the film favours traditional masculine values with a conversation between Conan and his father shortly before the massacre of his tribe by the doom cult, with him telling Conan not to trust anyone and allow himself to be vulnerable, only trusting the steel of his sword which, in the film's own words, was founded by men.

Rather than this being a critique on how men are often been forced out of emotional availability by generations before them, it's taken as words of wisdom that Conan takes to heart as we see him from a scrawny kid that lost everything to a muscular killing machine, stripped from sensitivity and is seen by other characters as the prime specimen of man.

Male sensitivity is often depicted as a weakness and is unsurprisingly lumped with homosexuality as something to be ridiculed. We see this as Conan tries to sneak into the temple of the cult by pretending to be a shy and nervous bystander while wearing flowers (to which he says "for a girl" when being asked the purpose of them the scene prior), this attracts the attention of a priest who makes suggestive comments about his body all while caressing his chest. He asks to continue their discussion in private, an obvious implication of a hookup, and ends up getting killed by Conan.

Not only it's presented as something antagonistic with the act of desiring another man seen as something perverse, but also, the implications of GNC men shouldn't be taken seriously and only seen as a target for sexual assault.

Traditional masculinity carries into how women are represented. With it not only their screen time is few and far between but also only serve as sexual reward to male characters or to show off their power, women who don't fall into this category are usually ridiculed by our main protagonist, often being called sluts or hoes. They are disregarded shortly after their introduction by being killed and/or raped (including a woman being raped by Conan during his montage to power).

The only recurring female character is Valeria (we only find that's her name in the film's credits, so take that what you will) who gives the illusion of a strong character with being able to fight aside the male characters and her snarky attribute during her introduction, but ultimately ends up being a tool for Conan by falling into the wife role with her never being able to have true goals of her own. She disappears from narrative, only to show up towards the end for a tiny bit to meet her demise.

The poster reflects her role in the narrative with its composition, with her kneeling down so the viewers' eyes lead up to the main piece Conan, just an add-on to show his power.

Now that's not to say it doesn't cater to female viewers (and unknowingly to queer men) by taking full advantage of the female gaze with multiple lingering close-up shots of Conan, some framed in suggestive angles and even scenes only exiting just to show off Arnold Schwarzenegger's muscular frame (take the random sex scene with the witch for example). And while there is female nudity, like women in this film, it's treated with a lot less care with being in wide shots and going just as quickly as it appears.

Which finally brings us to this film's queer coding. It's common for macho action films to fall into homoerotic undertones due to their misogynistic tendencies, this film being no different with it being parodied in other media, even during its initial release, particularly in underground comics.

An example I like to bring up is Conan's "first time" in a fight. He's confused and nervous as he's thrust into battle bare apart from a loin cloth and is attacked by his opponent, but as the fight progresses, he gets more confident and begins to relish in it.

Overall, the film does serve escapism for it's male audience with its power fantasy elements, but rather of it being done through our main protagonist, it's done through the world where the narrative inhabits with it taking pride that worth is achieved through physical strength, wealth and sexual conquest. And while the narrative is the classic trope of the underdog going against a figure of high power, even they can't help finding his lifestyle appealing.

Now....

What does this tell us about Mike?

Well, we know that his family often emotionally neglect him and encourage him to give up vulnerability (i.e., making him give up his childhood toys that have emotional value and viewing his outbursts as just "delinquent behaviour").

His poor treatment towards El starting when they are together at the start of season 3. Starting off somewhat small with implicitly being disinterested in her when they are actually alone, take their conversation during his bike ride to the mall during his introduction or him jumping on the first chance he got on reducing their time together when Hopper stepped in (despite going against his wishes when it came to looking for Will in season 1).

However, when she starts to gain some independence through Max and stops being "his pet", rather than admit his mistakes and apologise like how Lucas does with Max or how he does to Will shortly after upsetting him, he starts using sexist language and starts to get controlling when said independence is applied to her use of powers.

His implicit homophobia during his projection, when Will (Who is canonically considered GNC during this time) implies his changed in behaviour as something negative.

And this might be a stretch, but maybe him tying his self-worth to whether or not he is able to provide and protect is also due to the societal pressures of gender roles and him feeling inferior to El could possibly be a hint of jealousy due to her being able to fulfil said roles despite her gender.

And we all know he has a certain type when it comes to men.

[jesncin]

Do you have any favorite books or comics that you'd recommend?

Superhero comics or in general? I'll go in general, haha:

Our Dreams At Dusk by Yuhki Kamatani

This is the book series I'm most obnoxiously recommending people. It's influenced me ever since, Lunar Boy is a direct homage to this short series in many ways. It talks about the lived realities of being queer and Japanese in Japan- the queerphobia, the mental health struggles, the relationships (romantic and platonic) in an in depth way. It opened my eyes to what the queer narrative can be, and I'm forever grateful for it. This story is so good it actively ruins all other queer media for me, haha.

Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Yang and Gurihiru

This is the book I most successfully recommend to people. What can I say that I haven't said many times before? A reimagining of the classic Klan of the Fiery Cross arc from the classic Superman radio show, empathetically revitalized. A story that actually acknowledges and understands Superman as a direct immigrant allegory?? Where he relates to a Chinese American family being targeted by the Klan?? I love it, and many people have picked up how I'm influenced by it! You don't need to know anything about Superman or his lore, this is a very accessible story for newbies. If you want to know why I love Superman, this is it. This story is so good it actively ruins all other Superman media for me, haha.

Salt Magic by Hope Larson and Rebecca Mock

One of my recent all time favorite graphic novels!! This story is everything I love about fairytales perfectly told in the graphic novel format. When a mysterious woman curses a family farm by turning their water supply into entirely undrinkable salt water- Vonceil must embark on an adventure to uplift the curse that hangs over her family history. Also Rebecca Mock's art is INCREDIBLE.

Homunculus by Joe Sparrow

Shortbox, the publisher for this comic, is retiring soon so order this book now! Or any books from them that you fancy (discount code here)! From the indie scene, Homunculus is a beloved short comic about a machine with growing sentience witnessing the end of the world, and what comes after. The style is lovely and the story is deceptively simple! It's heartbreaking by the end.

Berrybrook Middle School Series (Awkward, Brave, Crush, Enemies) by Svetlana Chmakova

This series is the reason I wanted to make middle grade graphic novels, and is in my humble opinion- the best in the business. Each story is self contained, with a cast of recurring characters that all go to Berrybrook middle school. It covers a wide variety of young experiences in an empathetic way that doesn't feel like you're being talked down to. It's a book series that nurtures the children it's for. I cried reading Brave, and Crush is such an important book that I'm ecstatic that kids get to read.

The Weight Of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf

If you liked my Who Is Superman: A Private Interview with Lois Lane comic and want to learn more about the historical context behind it- I recommend The Weight Of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf. It doesn't cover the same history (this book is about the 1969 race riots in Malaysia), but it's such an eerily similar incident that I felt myself reflected in it. Hanna is an incredibly vivid writer, and she handles so many topics with sensitive care. She highlights that historical events like this need to be remembered, and how fictional stories can breathe new life into an increasingly forgotten history. Also Hanna is so nice.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (original idea by Siobhan Dowd)

One of my all time favorite novels, with hauntingly beautiful mixed media illustrations by Jim Kay. I love how this book covers grief in such a messy and fantastical way- showing how its young protagonist has larger than life feelings he's trying to contain from the looming eventual death of his mom's illness. This book is special because it was conceived originally by Siobhan Dowd as she was going through terminal cancer, in collaboration with her editor and Ness. It feels like an intimate experience, and this heavy feeling of grief carries the whole book in a memorable way.

Those are my fav books off the top of my head! Happy reading :>

That discord server post made me remember the stark difference between Serverstuck (a minor populated server) and Degrees of Lewdity (strict adult-only server)

Serverstuck has the worst mods and owner I've seen because they're all Antis and abuse the rules by excusing anyone who are close to them & punishing others who are strangers, lying to people on why some got banned, and allowed sensitive political topic go unregulated

Degrees of Lewdity, despite filled with people who has crude & cursed-level sense of humor, has strict mods & owner, write the correct information on why some people are banned or muted (they even allow users to request to be ban from the server for mental health reasons), and immediately shut down any conversation of sensitive political topics that cause infighting between members

I feel safer in a server for an adult game development than a "minor friendly" homestuck rp server

While I do welcome servers that have a mixed age range, I don't think I've ever or will ever join a server moderated or owned by someone who is either/both an anti or a minor.

To run or moderate a server you need to be impartial, objective, socially aware, able to appropriately manage conflict and relatively socially seasoned. I've personally found most minors often lack or are incapable of most if not all of these qualities.

(And that's not me hating on minors or calling them ignorant. Some of those qualities are just things you learn or develop with age and time. Some adults never learn them at all, even, but they are qualities you need if you're going to, essentially, be in charge of other people.)

Sephiroth's Server Safety Tips

Always do a thorough check into who is advertising the server, who owns the server, and other members before joining a server where possible.

Once you've joined the server, immediately use the search function to look for key words related to topics you want to avoid, possible past conflict, bullying, ect.

Immediately check the server rules. Its a red flag in itself if the server doesn't have any. Also, 'just be nice' is not a rule. Servers should have clear, clean cut rules and regulations.

Don't be afraid to message server owners, moderators or users privately and ask questions. They shouldn't get offended and if they can't or won't answer questions about basic rules, server safety protocols, ect, you should reconsider joining.

Don't be afraid to ask around other people to see if the server is known or has a reputation, either. If a server is based on a specific fandom, for example, search through that fandom for any past mentions of the server or ask other fans if they've heard of it.

Does Your Nakshatra Predict How Popular You Will Be?

TW: This post discuses few sensitive topics associated with death, negative scandals, body image issues, etc. If you feel uncomfortable with such topics, please do not read further. I also do not support or condemn anything, as through this post I am merely reporting my observations.

For this post, I collected the Sun and Moon (excluded Lagna as most idols did not have confirmed birth time) for 49 female idols who made it into the list of "The Most Popular Kpop Female Idols (From 2009-2023)"

The link to the video from which I collected my sample is here.

Note:

This is purely for entertainment.

My aim is to not predict but to purely observe.

The video was purely about popular idols, so please note that idols can be popular both favourably and unfavourably.

As mentioned earlier, most birth times were not confirmed and therefore some signs may be quite off.

I am not an expert so my explanations will remain minimal, if any of you are more knowledgeable, please drop in your opinions as well.

First, for the the Sun Sign.

The Top 3 listed Sun Signs among the most famous female kpop idols included:

Uttara Bhadrapada (12.2%)

Dhanishta (10.2%)

Rohini (6.1%)

For Uttara Bhadrapada,

These women were mostly known for projecting a very strong yet attractive aura around them. Interestingly, these idols were also mostly famous for quite a few negative incidents such as death/hate (Sulli), drug scandals (Park Bom), reporting of bad behaviour (Irene) and mental health issues (Mina). Although not all, most of these women fitted the trope of "love to hate" with the most significant examples being Lisa and Irene. However, their popularity and fan base is extremely vast and most of these idols were appreciated for their immense hard work. Their perfectionistic tendencies are not hidden to the public, for instance Lisa in Youth with You and Irene's scandal that supposedly arose due to her excessively perfectionistic behaviour. Nevertheless, these women are greatly appreciated for their ability to bounce back from hate and the consistent quality and the passion they display for their work. These women are also usually at the very top of their respective positions. For their looks, they usually have a very cold yet attractive face paired with a touch of cuteness especially through their lip shapes.

For Dhanishta,

These women were mostly known for their unique visuals, calm yet cool voice and are interestingly very skilled dancers. Unlike, the Uttara Bhadrapada women, these women had a more approachable energy and were usually liked for their adorable or charming personalities. They are also more easily liked and favoured by the general audience. They are also usually termed as idols having a more natural beauty (Sooyoung) with beautiful bone structures and supermodel-like bodies giving them an additional classy looks (Naeun). Most of these women either are (Rose) or look tall and have a strong social media presence (Seulgi) which is received very favourably by most of their fans due to its aesthetics and trendy image. Contrastingly, these women greatly respect their privacy and do not share much information regarding their private lives. As mentioned earlier, each of these women have very distinct personalities, and even more than their looks, their fans appreciate their personality which appears genuine, charming and innocent.

For Rohini,

These women are possibly the most diverse in terms of personality with their most prominent common factor being popularity. These women particularly had longer careers compared to other women (Yoona, Hyuna, Ailee). Interestingly, they were also the most likely to either seperate from their groups or naturally purse influential solo careers. Contrary to Dhanshita women, the lives and emotions of these women are more open to the public but this is usually after they have passed a certain event. Both Hyuna and Ailee have been very open about their body issues and how they both had to undergo strict diets in order to fit the image their company and fans wanted. They also report how others might have liked it but they personally did not, highlighting their sacrificial nature and the immense pressure these women face to meet standards and live up to a certain ideal. This could also be attributed to their general body type of being quite broad and having more curves, which went against the beauty standards of its time. On the positive side, these women are greatly admired for their everlasting ethereal looks and natural cuteness. Their personalities are usually quite friendly and also seem to be extremely charming. These women truly shine, making them some of the most entertaining and famous members of their group (Dahyun).

Finally for the Moon Signs,

The Top 3 listed Moon Signs among the most famous female kpop idols included:

Uttara Bhadrapada (8.1%)

Magha (8.1%)

Hasta (8.1%)

For Uttara Bhadrapada,

Sharing many similarities with the Sun in Uttara Bhadrapada women, these women are also strikingly popular and most fall in to the "love to hate" trope. However, the love these women receive from their fans seems to be much greater and they do not have as much as of a negative reaction in comparison either. However, they also have this theme of undergoing several backlashes from the public (Taeyeon & Minzy). They also seem to be the victim of several issues with anxiety in their early years which later transforms to a more composed, evolved and refined image in their later years. However, no matter what stage in their career, people truly do not hold back when attacking these individuals. Interestingly, 2 out 4 of these women were the leaders of their respective groups as well (Taeyeon & Victoria; both SM too). Possibly due to the negative experiences they faced in their earlier years, they tend to take very good care of their juniors and have a very "elder sister" vibe to them (Ailee & Taeyeon). Their visuals have a very "alien" vibe to it with most of them being called such as well.

For Magha,

These women, first and foremost, had extremely striking features with their visuals always remaining an extremely strong topic and a huge contributor to their fame. They are consistent and disciplined in their works enabling these women to succeed in a variety of industries (Sooyoung, Yoona). They are especially known for their particular and even peculiar routines that they enjoy following (lazy stretching in the morning, Sooyoung; eating cereal before bed, Yoona). Surprisingly, these women are also a huge fan of darker hair colours and some even strongly dislike lighter hair colour on them (Nayeon). They are also extremely famous for their witty and honest sense of humour (Chaewon). Their genuineness and ability to entertain a large audience by just being themselves is extremely admired (Nayeon). Although these women do not take the spotlight consistently, they are always able to make a good comeback and rebrand themselves in ways they wish, truly displaying a transformative and versatile nature. They usually have small features and are able to fit a variety of styles and concepts.

For Hasta,

Interestingly most of these women are very good dancers and some of them are especially known for their ability to free style (Chungha). Unfortunately most of the fame received by these individuals is in a negative fashion as well with some being plastic surgery rumours (Chungha, Namjoo). They also receive a considerable amount of criticism for their personality especially with a lot of hate branding them as "fake" for supposedly trying to put on a show (Yeri). These women are also generally quiet and have a calm presence. However, they are also known for being quite blunt and honest when provoked. They usually brand themselves as logical, straight forward and rational most of the time. These women are usually seen taking breaks and time-off from the public due to the hate they receive (Mina). Much of this hate turns these women to become more quiet and distanced which is very much in comparison to their relatively vibrant and outshining nature in their early years. Their appearance usually consists of a small face/features and are usually short in height as well. They usually have a lot of younger and female audience as well.

Thank you for reading so far, please share your observations and feedback, if you have any as well. Will return with more observations💕

Title: Daddy Rated: E Length: ~ 5k Summary:

Angel sighed and shrugged, facing away as he wiped at his fur. “I have a little tiny bit of a breeding kink. Hasn’t reared its head in a while. It’s dumb; don’t worry about it.” “I don’t think it’s dumb,” Husk said softly. Angel sighed again, turned to face Husk, and lay down on his side. Husk lay with him. Angel picked at a spot on the blanket between them. “It’s just…not something I’ve ever really played with.” Husk arched an eyebrow. “Not everyday we find somethin’ you haven’t done.” “Yeah,” he snorted a little half laugh. Husk brushed a gentle kiss between his eyes. “Would you want to?” “Hm?” “Play with that?” “I…don’t know,” Angel admitted quietly. “It kinda…butts up against some raw edges, even just private in my own head, so….” ~ Angel feels safe enough with Husk to explore one of his more sensitive kinks—turns out it’s a sensitive topic for both of them, but that may just be all the more reason to explore it together.

[shattered-pieces]

Russian disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining support for Ukraine in Europe have grown significantly in scope, skill, and stealth, reports the Financial Times. Ralf Beste, head of the German Federal Foreign Office's culture and communication department, informed reporters that the Russian Federation is now combining greater sophistication and believability in its messages with automation to make information attacks more effective and harder to combat. Beste notes that "there's probably a lot going on that we don't even see." "More and more conversations are taking place in private Telegram and WhatsApp channels. It is very difficult to understand what is happening there," the official says. He added that in Germany, for example, the Russians target sensitive issues concerning the local population (such as the expansion of aid to Ukraine, the cessation of Russian gas supplies, doubts about further support from the United States within NATO, economic growth, etc.) and attempt to spread manipulative narratives on these topics. This year, Beste's department uncovered one of the largest attempts to manipulate German public opinion on the X social network. A network of over 50,000 fake accounts, posting up to 200,000 posts a day, sought to convince Germans that government aid to Ukraine undermined German prosperity and posed a threat of nuclear war. The network attempted to "launder" such statements by presenting them as if they had been published by Der Spiegel and Süddeutsche Zeitung. Last week, the Czech government, in collaboration with other European states, exposed a network linked to oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, which also disseminated pro-Russian and anti-Ukrainian narratives in Europe.

Whale Fall

Is there something greater than love? It's through loss and sympathy he finds the answer to a question he never asked. He knows nothing, yet understands all.

pairing — Sakamaki Subaru x fem!reader warnings — sensitive topics; blood, suicide, death, self harm. word count — 3.2k

"I think it's time I sink, too," [Name] muttered with no hint of hesitation. A whisper, words unknown to humans, pronounced with syllables in a foreign taste. She glanced at Subaru through the corner of her eye, meeting with a furious shade of ruby so entrancing yet so toxic. Her lips shifted into a peaceful simper.

Subaru watched with a tangled tongue and a scorching glower. Cursed eyes the same shade as his mother's. He shouldn't have glazed them over [Name] ever, he should have known better. First her bare feet, then her algid fingers, lastly her exhausted face. Piece by piece, limb by limb, second by second, the freezing lake consumed and claimed her, from top to bottom.

[Name] sank and sank and sank, lower, lower, lower to the darkest depths of black. Subaru allowed her.

Be it any insignificant time of the year, unimportant seasons passing by, midnight always kept consistent with its low temperature, becoming the coldest moment of the day, both beginning and end. It was rare for humans to enjoy the freezing wind, but not quite impossible. Knowing such creatures, weak and pathetic, vulnerable to a change in the atmosphere. Subaru transformed the rooftop into his own little private space upon enrolling into the school. Quiet, desolate, cold; ideal for his constant search of loneliness.

He pretended not to care, donned a mask of indifference in the face of a shivering human addressing him so casually. He could see how her body twitched against the temperature and the goosebumps erupting on her skin. Why she didn't wear long stockings was beyond him. A puff of tobacco disappeared into the moonless sky, rising in poison clouds from her lips. "I'll stay outta your way, I swear," she had told him in order to settle a truce.

She should have stood by her words. Perhaps she had—it was Subaru the one who drew her towards him. Humans had been incredibly curious beings since the dawn of time. He should have known better.

The months disappeared in shared silence, a routine neither of them cared to disrupt. Two strangers on a same rooftop, neither of them existing. The stench of her cigarettes seeped into his nerves without him realizing. The more time she spent with him, the less she spent with her own kind. He couldn't explain why. He could never explain anything when it came to [Name].

Looking back, underneath his pretense of indifference and irritation, he was vividly feeling every single little thing. From her presence, to the way he didn't want to admit it affected him.

Subaru turned on the bench and grumbled curses quietly to himself. The comment that slipped was completely involuntary. "That fucking smell is driving me insane…" He froze immediately upon feeling the words escape him.

[Name] whipped her head towards him from her own self-assigned corner. She blinked bemused at him when she couldn't find his eyes behind his hair. One sneering chuckle later, she flicked the burning cigarette down towards the concrete. "The wind's blowing this way, though," she spoke with such a flat, bored tone, "it shouldn't reach you."

"It's foul," he growled back to his senses. It took all of his composure to sit up naturally. She seemed uninterested in holding a conversation with him, but her eyes sliced through him with all of her attention. "Why do you even like that?" Subaru dismissed it as an off-handed question, one he didn't care to receive an answer for.

He had always been too much of a feeler.

[Name] cocked a brow at him. "Does it look like I do?"

It didn't. She let it go so easily. She didn't care. "Then why d—?"

"It might kill me—or rather, I'm hoping."

Still, he could never explain why. How could a human find victory in death? He had only ever been surrounded by resilience and determination; even in pain and despair, Komori Yui, his closest example, fueled her desire to remain alive against all odds. Subaru had never seen a human wish for death as much as he had. One and the same, yet he couldn't explain it.

The conversation had ended before it could even start. Subaru hadn't the words to reply when he'd never heard them himself.

He had always despised group projects with a burning passion. Behind the pretty face, lied the anger issues; humans scorned any delinquent they came across, and Subaru was no exception. Working with them was insufferable. He couldn't have guessed [Name] would give him more reason to loathe group projects. Everyone turned their eyes away from him when choosing a partner. [Name] herself didn't bother glancing at him. He hated feeling so much, but he was still a hardcore feeler.

She was chortling away with her friends as the teacher called to him among all the ruckus. "Sakamaki-kun," the man started with that tone of concern Subaru didn't want, "is there anyone you'd like to work with, or would you rather work alone?"

He was asking only because of his grades. But what a damned question he posed. Subaru didn't need to weigh out all the pros and cons of the situation to know there was only one name he could pronounce. Through gritted teeth, casting his gaze away, he mumbled, "[Surname]…" He hoped for a brief moment the teacher hadn't heard him; he hoped he hadn't made such a mistake. He should have known better.

Subaru flinched and cringed and folded into himself when the teacher called, "[Surname]-san, could I borrow you for a second?"

He should have known better than to keep feelings so loud.

[Name] was sitting right across from him before he had realized he'd trapped her. Back and forth from every heartbeat of hers. He had doomed her. "Teach said you wanted to work with me."

"Whatever. You don't have to if you don't want to." Maybe it wasn't too late—it was too late for maybe's.

"S'fine, I owe you this much." She was lending him a hand and simultaneously giving up on her life for him. "Thanks for not snitching on me." She mimicked the idea of poison between her fingers and chuckled.

Subaru hated being as weak as humans.

He'd been reluctant to accept her at first. He had made the grave mistake of pulling [Name] towards him, but he had the chance to keep away from her. If he stopped saying her name, if he stopped smelling her tobacco, if he stopped caring altogether. The thought drove him insane until fate finally crushed him.

What could he do when she stepped into his limo? What could he do when she stood at his threshold? What could he do when she explained the subject of their project in such an easy way so he could understand?

She gazed in awe out the window, admiring the beauty of his garden, all the life he tended to with care and delicacy. By the time she'd finished her own portion of the work, the sun had risen to cast a spotlight of sunshine on vibrant rose petals. A white so pure, [Name] had no reason to stain with her eyes. Subaru saw how no amount of light could bring a sparkle back into her life.

She stared him right in the blood of his irises as she declared, "I'll be back whenever to help you out with your half."

He didn't appreciate the scorching of her human pupils. He scoffed, "I don't need your help." He filled up his own senses with empty lies. His teeth clamped down on his tongue.

"I know." No, she didn't. "I'd just like to see this garden sometime."

Subaru should have known better, yet he still couldn't turn her down. Hope could be such a hopeless thing. It nearly drove him insane. She returned to him no matter what he did or said. He couldn't explain why her presence felt comforting—why he felt at all. As [Name] sang praises to his flowers, caressing them gently, adoring the sight of them.

"I know a place where my brothers won't bother us."

He should've kept his mouth shut and his feelings locked out. Subaru led the way to the dock a walks away from the mansion; [Name] followed wordlessly, unaware. It was brief, but he caught a glimmer in her gaze as soon as she found the lake. She kicked her shoes off, and before he could blink, she had already dipped her feet into the water. He allowed her to drown. Whatever was running through her mind at the moment, Subaru couldn't tell. He couldn't explain why her stare was so vacant and dull as she admired the reflection of the full moon. A mirage, unreal, unreachable. He should have known.

[Name] shivered at the temperature numbing her toes. "Hey, Subaru." He'd forgotten the sound of her voice. "What's your favorite animal?" He really didn't know what she was thinking.

"I don't have one."

She hummed, "I think I like whales a lot."

Subaru glared at her back; the school blazer, the length of her hair, the distance between the lines of him and her. "You think?"

"They're really cool," [Name] chuckled. What was there to laugh about? She kicked water away from her towards the lake. The moon distorted itself in the sky. "They eventually reach a point in their lives where they lose their drive to rise above water for oxygen. It's something they've been doing all their lives, they know nothing else." She hung her head backwards to meet his eyes. Subaru could read the tempest of thoughts inside her brain. "Still, they sink to the bottom of the ocean and drown."

Subaru didn't say anything while she turned to gaze at the stars. There was nothing he could have said in the moment or months afterwards. He didn't feel the need to explain why—this time, he understood her completely.

[Name] was the first human in decades to teach him plenty of firsts. She taught him how she loathed the world as if she had access to something better. She taught him she did. She taught him how she played with her own life so much. Subaru attempted to become oxygen for her. He couldn't explain why he felt so much towards her—he didn't want to feel so much towards her.

The rooftop transformed into a circus.

[Name] breathed in death and breathed out life. She gazed at the starry sky stretching beyond her powerless fingers. Something so vacant about those eyes that watched farther beyond than any other pair.

"Why do you keep smoking?" Subaru called for her attention even if he shouldn't have. She turned to slice him open with her uninterested stare. The smoke kept rising to where she couldn't fall. "Just give it up," he reached out with more hope than words.

She caught the nicotine lollipop he chucked at her. She rose above water for oxygen. "Why do you think?" she asked him anyway. He never answered; he never could. She puffed out another cloud of poison before flicking the cigarette to the ground.

Subaru knew and understood she spent more time basking in his silence than chatting with her friends. She climbed all the way up the stairs during recess just to find drawings in the sky as she sat beside him. She had stopped smoking; she had no reason to frequent the rooftop anymore.

Quietude was the norm—quietude was what he'd always wanted. He didn't know humans could be so loud while remaining completely silent. He listened intently to the clatter of lunchboxes in the cafeteria. The sound reached him, but not her—the time reached them both. A flitting glance towards her and a sprinkle of hesitation, "Isn't it lunch time?"

She seemed surprised to hear his voice. Just for a second. "What of it?" So uninterested. If only he could have learned from her how to hold back all emotion.

"Shouldn't you go eat?"

"What do you think?"

"Why don't you eat?"

"I don't ask you why you don't either, do I?"

Subaru clamped his mouth shut. It wasn't the same; they weren't the same. He didn't need human food to survive. [Name] was so hungry, so unbearably starved. He could hear it. How long had it been since she last cared for her life?

The most he did—he could do—was buy sandwiches, pretend they were the same for a brief moment so she would breathe a little longer. If she would just rise above water for oxygen. Anything would do. Still there were times when he reached the rooftop a tad bit too late, but just in time. Swinging, swaying, dancing, tripping, showering in the light of the waxing moon and its veil on her skin. [Name] dangled a foot over the air. Her fingers seemed frail as they grasped the gates.

He shot his hands out before he could care about revealing his true nature. Their lunch was safe against her chest while he constricted his grip on her shoulders. "What are you doing?!" Subaru panted, breathless, quivering, concerned. She was drowning.

"What does it look like?"

"Where you really about to jump?" He couldn't explain why he was gritting his teeth so tightly.

"What do you think?"

Did they always have to talk in questions? [Name] asked him every single time, so many things, so many thoughts. He could never reply to any of them. He never knew what to think.

Eventually, she began repaying his sandwiches with boxes of cranberry juice. Eventually, she ceased her nonsense dancing on the verge of death. Eventually, she stopped needing his nicotine lollipops. Eventually, she would lose her drive to seek oxygen all the same.

For a vampire, murder is an act of true love. Subaru only wondered if he loved [Name] enough. He gave it his all, he tried with his every effort to keep her on the surface. He just couldn't keep away from her. He drowned her.

"Do you really want to die?" he spoke one moonless night.

"Do you really have to ask?" she bit back in a question.

Was it love? Was love meant to be selfish? Wasn't he supposed to kill her? Wasn't that true love? Taking her life from her, wasn't that how he could communicate just how much he liked her? He couldn't explain why he desperately wanted her alive.

He felt bold when he declared, "I can help you."

It nearly shattered him to see [Name] didn't even look minimally hopeful at the statement he gifted. "Can you?" So many questions, every single time.

"Can I?"

She understood his everything without knowing anything. He wished for her to stay alive by his side; if only she had hated him, if only she could have bitten him. Made him suffer, torn apart his throat, destroyed him from the outside in until he bled out from every of his wounds. Subaru wanted [Name] to exist to selfishly save himself. He felt and felt and felt, and he wanted to feel more and more and more. The same way he brought pain upon endless innocent brides, he needed to cry out voiceless pleas to make her stop toying with him. A filthy abomination, product of shame and betrayal and cowardice.

[Name] met him to fix him, save him, help him repent with her understanding. "I wonder…"

Subaru inevitably drowned her. He dug her grave. He shoved her off the rooftop. He scorched her lungs to a crisp. He killed [Name] with nothing but senseless hope.

She dropped by unannounced more times than he cared to count. His brothers wondered why he'd hang around a human so much, so willingly. Not even Subaru could explain it. He just couldn't stay away from her. He wanted her to save him.

[Name] didn't sit; she stood with her spine straight, shoes forgotten on the grass, toes numb on the humid dock. It had been months since they met, since they talked, since they'd finished that damned project and passed with flying colors. It had been months since she last dangled her life carelessly over a cliff. She was wordlessly loud as she admired the sky, the stars, the waning moon. Decline, death.

"Hey," she called with her back to him, voice unwaveringly flat. The distance tore him open. Subaru hummed to let her know she had his attention. "Remember what I told you about whales?"

He frowned instinctively. His tongue grooved when he struggled to reply, "Yeah." A simple yeah. The first question he could answer and he used a worthless yeah.

"I think it's time I sink, too," [Name] muttered with so much vigor. A whisper, words Subaru didn't want to hear, didn't want to learn. She glanced at him through the corner of her eye, meeting with a lonely shade of ruby so entrancing yet so toxic. "The world was way too cruel to give you a life that cannot end." Her lips shifted into a taunting sneer, like it was easy to live like that.

Subaru should have known better, but he couldn't find it in those obnoxious feelings deep in him, eating him, to regret ever letting [Name] die. He watched with a tangled tongue and a burning gaze as she sank to the bottom of the lake. He saw her jump underneath the water as she hopped off the rooftop, he saw her drown in a mount of burning cigarettes while her body consumed itself from the inside out. He lost his mind witnessing her death a billion different times.

[Name], her throat torn open, her collarbone ripped out, her blood oozing maniacally from the vicious bite on her neck. Subaru's own two fangs splitting her apart, choking her on her own blood while she drowned in cranberry. Ironic.

He watched her sink—the same way he sank his teeth furiously into helpless necks, searching desperately for a way to feed off of their lifesource, [Name] disappeared into the depths of darkest black to leech off the peace she'd always craved from death. Subaru did nothing; not a single effort to pull her out, to keep her alive, to bring her back to life like he had frantically saved Yui. He couldn't explain why—was it because she was less important than Yui? Irrelevant, a mere presence to pass the time. She hadn't been chosen as a bride; he couldn't drink from her, he couldn't toy with her, he couldn't even touch her without feeling too much.

He could explain why. It was sympathy. It was understanding. It was the knowledge that [Name] utterly loathed existing. Subaru had no power to stop someone with the same wishes as him, someone much stronger than him with the courage to follow through with hefty claims. He didn't love her, true love didn't exist for all he cared. If for vampires, murder was an act of ultimate love, then what was letting them kill themselves? [Name] wouldn't have killed him, but she would've silently held his dead hand as he stabbed himself with his knife.

[Name] liked him too much; Subaru liked her too much. He couldn't deprive her of something so sweet. Far greater than love, far more valuable than affection, it was acceptance of the true self.

Subaru accepted [Name] as she was—a weak human, much stronger than he could try, reeking of tobacco even after quitting, brimming with faults and flaws and too many unanswered questions, tired of being alive. He was just a fool for hoping she'd fix the unfixable.

Subaru accepted [Name] as she was, and so he allowed her to die.

The people saying "its not Q's fault if people harassed Lea from his statement, he didnt tell them to" not getting how that should also then be applied to Lea posting her pay stub to figure out the answer to a serious question and accidently having Q's name in it wasnt in sighting doxing and harassing him either. Like...the hypocrisy man (also hello this is "healing balm" anon and YES YOUR RATIONAL AND THOUGHTFUL TAKES AND INFORMING IS VERY NICE FOR ME THANK YOU o/ o7)

AINT NO WAY WELCOME BACK HEALING BALM ANON 🫶

And yeah, it’s quite a difficult topic tbh but

1) Should Lea have shared what she did publicly ? Probably not, in my opinion she should have censored the sensitive information. But she also deleted it, apologised, and more importantly wasn’t the one to doxx Q. Don’t get me wrong I’m not justifying doxxing in anyway, just saying that she shared very easily accessible information that every freak who wanted to see it could have seen with a quick google search. The ones to blame are the weirdos who shared Q’s private info and sent him death threats.

2) Same for the hate the admins received after Q’s statement, it’s not Quackity who deliberately sent his fans to harass them, but as an influencer with a big audience he could have prevented some of it by stating clearly that he won’t tolerate anyone who does so.

Hello to all my new followers from Twitter :)

If you're new here (or just coming back and trying to remember how everything works), here's a few quick tips!

Likes mean basically nothing in terms of engagement on Tumblr, so if you want to boost a post, reblog it!

Same with replies - they're great for interacting with ppl but they don't really do anything to boost a post. Reblogging is the only way anybody who follows you will see the stuff you like.

If you reblog a post and add tags, everyone can see them - including the OP.

Reblogging is NOT the same thing as reposting. Reblogs are good - use them!

Tumblr doesn't really have an algorithm. All the posts on your dashboard are chronological based on the ppl you follow. You can into settings to toggle this and customize what you see - I recommend turning off the "Based on your likes" feature.

Blaze posts are posts that users have paid to be promoted on everyone's dash. Sometimes they're weird, sometimes they're funny. Sometimes, it's just an artist trying to boost their art a little bit more!

Tumblr collects almost no information about its users. This is why ads are not really targeted and why there's no true algorithm - bc tumblr doesn't know who you are! This is a good thing and we like it that way :)

Your blog has a queue. You can use this to queue up reblogs and posts, and tumblr will post them automatically for you based on a cadence and time frame that you determine. So if you're worried about spamming followers with a flood of reblogs, use your queue instead!

You can make individual posts on your blog private, and then unprivate them at a later time if you wish.

Don't censor words here! You will not get shadowbanned for discussing sensitive topics (another great thing about not having an algorithm). If you're talking about something heavy, put a CW/TW in the tags!

We also have community labels now, for things like mature content, violence, etc. Make sure to use them when needed!

Artistic nudity is now allowed on tumblr (as long as you use the community label for it). However, porn is still technically banned.

Please, please PLEASE put some content on your blogs so we know you aren't a bot :)

My asks are open if you have questions :) enjoy the hellsite!
