negative connotations to Arabic phrase ‘God is Great’ incorrect. average praying Muslim does takbir (says Allahu Akbar) a minimum 95 times a day and should have been counted.
#minimum#like MIMIMUM.#each day#like that’s just for the 5 prayers#only the obligatory ones it doesn’t include the additional voluntary ones most people also tend to do at some point#it doesn’t include regular use of the phrase in conversation#the phrase is literally used as an exclamation#like if you say ‘Allahu akbar my shift is over! I can go home alhumdulilah!’#like I don’t know what to tell you#western news-media connotations are so weird#you literally yell takbir to celebrate as well#saw a thing where everyone did takbir every time someone donated a huge amount to charity like brooooooooo#people be laughing so hard and getting Allahuakbar Allahuakbar out while wheezing#you score a goal? Allahu akbar alhumdulilah#this is very normal culturally transmitted info#Christian Arabs use the phrase as well like it's Arabic come on western media you’re not even trying#it’s such a joke#95 doesn't even include the 2 calls to prayer#it doesn't count people who do the extra allahu akbar (x33) after each prayer#doesn't include anything recited before bed#like. these are not uncommon things people choose to do. like...... BRO???#if you've ever seen Muslims praying in a group the person leading the prayer does the takbir out loud. that's literally how it's done#there are like 7 or 5 'Allahu akbar's in each round of prayer#you can't NOT say that part out loud it's literally THE part that has to be said out loud in each prayer#this information is very available online#you can say it before doing anything idk why it became a big deal in the west especially#it's some strange xenophobic Islamophobic normalise killings in those regions of the world mix#I’ve been getting recommended so many Arabic anime edits idk what to tell you#call everyone habibi it’s good for you#one of the most popular world languages fr

Yuu, circa book 5, on one of their Earth Lore tangents, this one about the Iliad and the Odyssey: ok so then Odysseus sees an omen in the sky and is all like "what the hell?!" To one of the gods, and the God is like "this is a warning. You have one more mission to do tonight".
Lilia: oh?
Yuu: yeah, so Odysseus is one cocky bastard, so he's all like "Hell yeah! Let's fucking do this just tell me what to do >:]" but the God is like "nah chief you ain't ready for this" "Oh I think I'm READY!" "...alright then. But just so you know. This is an enemy that won't run away from you, even when he's on his last drop of blood".
Lilia: OH?
Yuu: "this is an enemy unlike any if your other foes, unlike even Hector. If you're confident you'll be able to kill him... then all you have to do is go through that door".
Lilia: and he goes through the door?!
Yuu: he goes through the door!
Lilia: whose on the other side of that door??!
Yuu: an infant baby!
Lilia:
Lilia: a what.
Yuu: yeah that was Odysseuses reaction. So he starts pleading with the gods and is all like "ill send him away, I'll make sure he never finds out, I can raise him as my own son." Cause like, telemikus- anyway!
Lilia:
Yuu: but the gods are like. Nah bro this is the son of your enemy
Lilia: ...
Yuu: you gotta kill this thing now before he grows up and kills you and everything you love! So ya know, he had to choose between his morality and the possible fate of his entire kingdom and family, a huge risk on its own but with a God giving you the warning it's basically a guarantee
Lilia: ... and he chose....
Yuu: ... so there was this wall-
(Sorry u just realized how much this part of the odyssey had in common with lilias backstory)
There are many themes in stories that are fairly universal, and being faced with the reality that your enemy is just like you, that his greatest treasures are fragile and his life just as meaningless is an extremely well liked one. I wonder if Lilia takes some comfort in thinking that his life's circumstances aren't as uncommon as he might have once thought, that even beyond the void there are people who would see him and know.
Or if it makes him feel even more alone knowing that he's the only one left alive.

SNW Thoughts for season 1, be wary of spoilers
Pros:
1. T'Pring and Chapel and M'Benga kiss kiss i lov u more screentime for my loves its not deep stuff but im glad we see more of them
2. Does og trek vibes pretty well!!!
3. Generally more fun and i think indiv eps are jsut better
Cons
1. I do feel like. This series. Is kind of quietly... More xenophobic??? Against aliens, sure but still generally like. Gorn are now full on Predator WHOA DISTRACTED BY FIRST SIGHTING OF HIM KIRK ON MY SCREEN RN ok anyway we have Romulans again and the Omelas planet i think its no the WORSE exactly but the Gorn's species being a full on Predator species rather than the humanity afforded to the other evil species feels. Weird? Because like. Cardassians being people is why you have Garak and all the some levels of you know. Humanity. Even Borg had that individuals could be saved. And I think painting the Gorn as an evil species isnt locked in yet but I think is entirely what Trek SHOULDNT be about. Because rn the way its portrayed, theres no real way to turn Gotn into people yknow. I also really really hate that theyve killed the bridge crew whos very obviously an alien
2. Distraction ep 10 s1 really makijg use of the dramatic TOS lightning
2. This is my problems w the Spock ships that idk why no one talks about. And i say this as someone whos tentatively digging spock/tpring and spirk lover but. Arghhh i like chapel so much but i hate that we have to sit through chapel/spock BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD TO SEE THAT bro i hate that TOS kept making Chapel about Spock so i do have that gut hatred towards any spock/chapel. And Im really apprehensive on Tpring because what kind of character assassination are they gonna pull.... I do like to TPring just makes sense in TOS still
3. The ableism... First i do hate rukiya getting the "shes in the big castle in the sky" treatment. Not even curing her needed, but like yknow give her space chemo. And of course Pike. Rukiya is also just part of it but like- Its this feeling that SNW is makijg everything binary. Not just their opinions of actions- but writing things in such a way that there is no logical way to make it anything but a binary. Like Rukiya can ONLY be saved by disappearing or she WILL die (this one not so much). But also, Pike is like. Is so weird. Look fully- it doesnt feel great that Pikes faith is some big evil bad that can't be worked on. But also I think its kind of understandable in the sense that- Pike is gonna get locked in syndrome. Frankly, the burns the wheelchair use- those arent uncommon and more importantly, while they can affect QoL its hardly some death sentence. A lot of people live through it, adjust and adapt. But locked in syndrome? Is like? I have mixed feelings
This is where- as an abled person and I think for understandable reasons, its definitely a lot to face. But also. I think most people would say locked in syndrome is not reflective of most disabilities or wheelchair users! Hell TOS even foretold (influenced?) the use of brainwaves to communicate. Not wild to imagine... Some kind something to either improve his QoL without also swinging the extreme where Pike is totally abled.
Its!! Frustrating!!! Because its so deeply unempathic, to showcase disability like this. But also i think they choose to write themselves into the corner, because they choose to think that disabilities and injuries are life ending, that there's no way to improve qol, to adapt or to just. Portray the reality of disabilities? Like i do feel like (Was that scotty OH MY GOD IT IS) that SNW is writing themselves into this corner because their world view is so deeply jaded- that we are scared of aliens, therefore they must be unforgivingly impossibly evil. That im scared of my future- therefore it must be completely and totally hopeless.
It definitely!!! Has moments!!! Of good!!! But a lot of the grander and more long term arcs (pike's menagerie future and possibly gorn war) seems. Heugh.
Romulan war be romulaning- i dont care for it either but yknow. At least so far theyre kinda more multifaceted?
I do personally think like- these thoughts are long but i do overall think of SNW positively and much of my concerns hinge on execution that has not finished or occurred.
But. Well. Whats a trek series without problems.

I don't write cause I feel I don't have a good grasp on the characters personalities etc, the characterisation of akaashi post is so helpful! 👀👀 Would you do kuroo or bokuto?
a/n: I hope you like both of these! again, if yall want me to do others, let me know! these are across the span of their life, so some may seem college-related and some may seem young-adulty! 
[MISCHARACTERIZATIONS OF BOKUTO AND KUROO]
bokuto kotaro.
clueless: i’ve stated this in akaashi’s post, but bokuto is extremely emotionally intelligent. he can pick up on the slightest changes in people’s demeanor or posture, he can tell if someone is sad or happy even if they aren’t good at displaying emotions. he’s not a dumbass -- and he can pick up on others’ limits and boundaries very quickly. despite his ability to read people relatively well, he has no qualms about pushing people out of their comfort zones and forcing them to do things they might hate at first, but will love later. he pushes boundaries according to your comfort level, and respects your hard limits. 
only positive: a lot of people write bokuto to be someone ho’s only happy-go-lucky, or someone who rarely gets sad (aside from his moods that are less sad and more discouraged), but I think that almost dehumanizes him. he gets back up faster than most, yes, and at the end of a lost game where everyone is crying, bokuto is dry-eyed. he’s the type to get home and plop down on his bed, face-first into his pillow, lips quivering and eyes lightly watering. there are times where he feels insecure, especially when he’s younger, just because he can tell he’s different from the rest. he has a feeling that people are put-off from his personality, he has a feeling that he’s not as (traditionally/academically) smart as everyone else, he has a feeling that some people find him annoying. that’s why when he’s near his close friends he’s very loose -- he doesn’t feel the need to hold back even a little because he knows that they love him for him. this translates to his toxic trait with his lover being that he feels dejected/insecure if you ever want space. while he can read boundaries, he would really benefit from a lover who has just as few as he, because then he can be his truest self.
love-at-first-sight: he’s not the type to fall in love at one glance, he’s just not. yes, he might get interested or you may catch his attention, but he’s not going to fall in love with someone because they have a pretty smile. it’s not that he’s calculated or over-thinks his emotions, he knows exactly what he feels, it’s just that his heart is a little slow when it comes to falling in love. he’s such an energetic all-over-the-place person that love is never really on his mind (he gets into some trouble with accidentally leading girls on because he’s so friendly). when he eventually falls in love, though....oh boy. he stutters, he’s over-thinking all his movements when it comes to you -- he’s usually impulsive but with you he really, really doesn’t want to screw up. he wants everything to go smoothly -- so he’s the type to plan out a confession and actually try to stick to it. when it comes to something like love, bokuto is surprisingly slow and careful, because he knows how fragile a heart is. 
never gets angry: i think most people like to imagine his anger is so rare because the image of an angry bokuto is scary, especially with his stature. and while it’s true his anger is uncommon (because he’s good at processing his own emotions and not lashing out at others), when he does get angry it can be pretty unnerving. he’s the type to slam his fist on the counter unknowingly when having a really bad fight with his lover, and he has a booming voice. he’d never hit someone, but he doesn’t realize how intimidating his physique is. anger is uncommon, but that doesn’t mean he’s not scary. he always apologize afterwards, though.
boundless confidence: i touched on it earlier, that he has bouts of insecurity, but again, i really want to emphasize that he’s not endlessly confident. honestly, maybe in the anime and manga he seems that way, but if you want to make him more human, have more life than a fictional character, you have to create limits or certain traits. bokuto is very sensitive, and the slightest thing can either inflate his ego or deflate it. plays in volleyball constantly not working may dig at his confidence, but he always re-inflates. in real life, outside the court, there are things that keep his confidence low everytime they happen. fights with his lover are one of these things; he’ll get jealous when they leave the apartment after a fight because he’ll worry about you finding someone more stable than him. jealousy alone is a solid sign of chipped confidence, something that someone as sensitive as bokuto gets every once in a while. 
overall, bokuto is a lot more intelligent than what people give him credit for. he’s honest with his own emotions and can read people very well, which is probably why he’s such a people person, but he still has flaws. he does not have boundless confidence or have no perception of boundaries; he’s unbelievably understanding. he may be initially insecure, have intimidating anger, etc. but ,after all, he’s human, isn’t he? 
kuroo tetsuro. 
sex god: don’t get me wrong, I definitely believe that he’s had a lover or two, especially in college, and that he’s played the field a little bit. but i don’t see him as the guy that has had sex with every person in his major. he’s a genuine guy and can’t have sex with someone he’s not emotionally invested in -- despite not being a ‘player’, he’s totally gotten in trouble with a few people because they think he’s leading them on when he walks with them to class everyday. 
intimidating: people always characterize him as this mysterious, sexually intimidating guy, but i just can’t see him as someone intimidating. if anything, he may be a little unapproachable because he has a really tight knit group of friends that he’s always with, but he’s not scary. he’s not the center of attention but he’s not a wallflower either, he enjoys observing people and watching drama play out, but he’s not silent and glaring all the time. he’s quite fun, he’s loud, and he enjoys embarrassing his friends in public. he’s the type to twerk in public and laugh his ass off when akaashi or kenma give him the side-eye and bro-kuto joins in. he likes to have fun, ya know? i don’t know about you, but a guy that twerks in public isn’t very scary, to me at least. 
prideful: I understand why people paint him as a prideful guy, he obviously likes what he does and has a personable personality, but honestly, he’s not perfect. he often has moments where he doubts himself because of his past decisions, his career one of them. kuroo is an amazing middle blocker, and his choice to go into sports advertisement rather than an actual volleyball league no doubt haunts him at night sometimes. he thinks of the ‘what-ifs’, and he dreams of what he could be. especially since his best friend is bokuto, a professional player, it’s often on his mind. it’s a super touchy subject for him, and if someone were to question his job-choice i have no doubt that he’d get really sour and distant from that person because he’s not sure of himself either. 
frat boy: he’s not someone who can’t cook, he’s not someone who sleeps at 5am everyday, hungover. he’s not the type of person to be immature in any way -- he’s got his shit together. i’m sure most people can actually see this, but kuroo is very responsible and realistic (which is part of the reason he didn’t do professional volleyball). he does his taxes, does his homework, gives out good advice, gets up early and eats everything that a healthy person should eat (in all the right proportions, too). he doesn’t even drink often, if anything he’s just a social drinker. he goes to bed at 10pm and wakes up at 6am to work out, no joke. he’s gotta keep that physique somehow. 
decisive: i know i said he’s responsible, but i don’t think that translates to decisive. i can see him having a lot of conflicting things going on in his life, different wants and different paths that he wants to take but can’t keep all open. it happens in love, his career, his college major, etc. he wants a lot in life, he wants success, happiness, a good love-life, everything. when he had to choose between volleyball and a life-long, stable career, he was broken for weeks. was he good enough for his dream? was it wise to chase his dream? would it be better to get more kids into volleyball, do what he did, what he couldn’t do? in his love life he always hesitates, too: does he see a life with them? how long will they love him? will they be able to deal with him once they see that he’s not perfect? is it worth it? it doesn’t matter if he’s in love or not, because his extreme caution can come off as very distant and unwilling to let you in, hence his toxic trait. he’s indecisive, scared, yet passionate and hard-working. 
overall, kuroo is full of contradiction. he wants a lot from life and is willing to work for it. he has dreams and tries to stay healthy and put himself out there, have fun, the whole shabang -- but he’s not perfect. he’s overly cautious when it comes to making important decisions simply because he can see a future with all of the different paths he can take. but honestly, isn’t everyone a little contradictory?

Heya I love your art work! I wanted to ask if you have any tips on how to draw bulkier Sonic bodies like with your OC V. You make it look really well!
thank you! that's very sweet of you ;o; getting V to the point I wanted him to be when I redesigned him back in 2019 has been a journey lemme tell you. this won't be a super technical post bc i'm feeling very under the weather but here are some things i was analysing as i worked on V!
varied bodytypes aren't super common in sonic, with most of them building off Sonic/Amy as a base, but we do have examples of buff characters in the style! namely, Vector, Boom!Knuckles, and Zavok.
Tumblr media
The things I find most useful/appealing about them are:
Vector is a crocodile, and so all his muscle is concentrated around his neck, shoulders and spine. This is bc a crocodile's greatest weapon is its jaws, and a crocodile is basically a really muscular snake with some stumpy little limbs to launch the snake out of the water at food. you'll notice Vector's arms and legs are pretty wimpy and weak looking, because like a real crocodile, that's not where his power is stored!
Tumblr media
you might ask why i'm bringing up real animals in this and my answer is that despite how it often looks, sonic characters do pay some attention to real anatomy and boil it down to its most basic form as stylisation. learning to recognise this will help you immensely with learning to stylise it yourself!
Boom!Knuckles is a fairly basic gym bro. He clearly works on his upper body, but skips leg day every time (not uncommon, bc you don't see the results with your legs as dramatically as you do with your upper body). There's not much to say here except he's very stylised, with no visible muscle groups. You can sort of see where they'd be (his elbows are particularly noticeable in that screenshot), but like with Vector they've been boiled down to their absolute basics. This is why I maintain that Boom!Knuckles is actually pretty well designed for a buff sonic character, bc he still fits the style without introducing too much anatomy that might make him seem uncanny.
Zavok on the other hand is the holy grail of sonic buff. The zeti are shockingly well designed, and Zavok manages to be simplistic enough to fit into the style while also detailed enough that you can clearly see the different muscle groups on his body. He also doesn't skip leg day like Boom!Knuckles does and has a nice powerful core (the muscles around the stomach and spine above the hips!) where Knux doesn't.
For basic surface level tips, studying these three should help out. You can always build on/distort them a bit to get more unique builds but using them as a guide should get you a decent amount of far. The major joints/elements you want to pay attention to are the head/ribcage/hips/spine in relation to each other, and the shoulder/elbow/wrist and hip/knee/ankle ratios. Tracing over stock images or screenshots like this can help you get a feel for it!
Tumblr media
The best part is that even for less popular characters like these, there's a wealth of screenshots, promo renders and comic pages to study in order to get a better grasp on how they're built! I really recommend IDW sonic for vector and zavok in all sorts of weird angles.
For more advanced tips I'd recommend studying real human people (photos, paused videos, live models if you have the opportunity) and anatomical models (for the muscle groups). While posemaniacs appears to be dead, adorkastock is still around and has a wide variety of models to choose from.
This isn't so much "learn to draw realism" ftr it's more like, learning to see the joints in a limb and figure out the right proportions in an easy way. Sonic characters still have elbows, knees, wrists, ankles-- the limb is just smoothed over so the joints aren't as visible. Learning where the joints and major structures like the ribcage and spine go will help you immensely in placing muscle groups over them
Tumblr media
see how the proportions on the human model aren't actually too far off the sonic characters'?
also a small final word is not to look at regular knuckles as a "buff" character bc he has magical super strength and like no muscle whatsoever

I've been reading vol.33 again and I still can't fathom how anyone can think eren was right. Seeing him crushing all these innocent lives was chilling and just wrong, even if they hated the people of paradis they were just as ignorant as the yeagerists who held the same unbased hatred born out of fear. Hange, Armin and the rest had the right idea, they needed more time for negotiations and to learn about one another, it wasnt out of reach. The one who disagreed was the impatient, raging, impulsive boy who was trapped in his childhood and the childish logic that if you kill your enemies it's problem solved. Just because he had all that power doesn't mean he was finally free. He was just more powerful than the others and thought that gave him freedom to do as he pleases. Half-hearted apologies be damned, Eren deserves no redemption and shouldn't be hailed as a tragic hero or receive any thanks.
Hey ya!!
Let me get on board on the rant time because what you said is really great.
Ugh, I also hate that a significant deal of people glorifies Eren for what he did, and with the excuse of "his love for Mikasa" and "his friends"!
And Eren lied left and right after RtS, and gave in to his obsessive, anarchist, and immoral idea of freedom instead of accepting his powerlessness against a invisible enemy (humanity’s irresponsible, fear and hate-driven mentality), and he gave up of trying to find a solution for everyone with the help of others because his visions of the future mainly showed his dreams would come true (the Titans eradicated). And he helped killing his own mother (and his whole blood family actually if you consider his and Zeke’s grandparents). And after all the killing he had just done, the guy literally said he would have flattened the whole Earth and let it "full of carrion fattened insects"?
This terrifies me and grosses me out so much. Especially because this part of him is monstrous but easily falls forgotten with his pathetic confession about Mikasa and Armin's conflicted attempt of "thank you - though I can't understand you, I still love you, bro". And instead of for once let things absolutely clear, with the route Yams choose to end snk (changing from a dark ending to a bittersweet/more peaceful one), this all just made Eren's case more complicated.
And you're so right in your talk about Hans, Armin and the others needing more time! True options for peace through communication and diplomacy didn't have time to develop on their times properly! However, this problem runs deeper, and from way sooner than just the latest chapters...
So, if you don't mind, now excuse me while I turns this rant into something longer 😅 Because I think there is something uncommon about Eren's character and AOT's world, and it's adaptation into anime, and Isayama's Schrödinger writing that makes people take many things at face value, or further confused about what we should "support" in the snk journey.
Disclaimer that this is just my particular view, and that I have a tendency to look for the human part of the characters. Maybe my INFP side explains this lol
I fully agree that Eren shouldn't be viewed as a tragic hero! And that he shouldn't receive any thanks for the genocide!
However, considering everything Eren had lived, and how much he helped Paradis (and our loved ones) up until chapter 90, I find it hard to see him as a whole monster - as if he alone was carrying all of AOT's sins on his back. Because otherwise, imo, this becomes a way to excuse the responsibility of all other characters of their World who did nothing to change the Eldian race calamity.
I know there is a hate treatment toward Eren too - as if he had always been "like this" - but I can't take part in it because while of course I'm disappointed and condemn Eren's later actions, a few things I do not forget are that:
1. he saved Mikasa from becoming a sex slave child at 9 years old; 2. he witnessed his mother being eaten by a giant monster while he was still 10 years old; 3. he ate his own father; 4. He saved Armin, Mikasa, and the SC many times up to until the Ocean moment...
So - while only Ymir knows how he manipulated the timeline (that's kinda conflicting) -, whatever happened up to the moment Eren saw the whole thing on the Ceremony, Eren did it unconsciously at each given moment. Which holds some value for me, in the way that I do condemn his actions, but I can't bring myself to hate him. I suffered years with Eren's pre-Marley arc, hoping he wouldn't lose the last ones he loved, and that his powers could continue to save my beloved ones...
On the other hand, when I learned that Yams wanted to draw a "dark ending" for snk, I was hoping Eren would destroy everything, but learn the last minute lesson and show us a very painful ending but with a satisfying sense of "lesson learned" over "what happens when we give too much credit to ourselves or give in to our dark nature". Bittersweetly, I don't think I got either 🤡 Just a 19 teenager that I used to cheer on and suffer with being called incel because his pathetic jealous display is really pathetic for the story in THAT HEAVY MOMENT, or the retinue of Yeagerists praising a mass murderer as if he was a hero 🤦‍♀️ And let's not even talk about Mikasa and the bird thing...
I would rather Yams could have gone for a full dark ending and ripped my heart out with suffering or astonishment with something unique than getting this weird soup of "I want to hurt the reader, but more peacefully" LOL. Also, I wish he had handled his gag ideas better in the manga. (Hanji trying to talk to a car and them buying carrots is another stupid joke that I facepalm whenever I re-read that chapter 😒)
About Diplomacy in AOT
Again, you're so right! Hans and Armin needed more time! But the problem with communication is very old - since Hanji’s time trying to communicate with Titans... Which also leads us to another problem - the use of physical and verbal violence to achieve results.
Generally speaking, when we readers/anime watchers, as humans, love to be on the "right side", and grow attached to our characters, we sometimes agree with violence as being a path to solve things; we support it when it benefits us; we support it "because the real world is like this", and there was "no other alternative". We excuse it when our favs are hurt or in danger, as it's their right for being hurt first, and they need to survive. We support it because it looks cool, or brings forth some advancing results... In other words, when everything else fails, violence seems to always work because of the fear they evoke that makes people take action/to submit/change their minds/produce the necessary results when time is short.
However, if you reread the whole thing, from the beginning with Annie freaking out in the forest under Levi's threat to cut her up; to Reiner showing his split personality in the forest after kidnapping Eren and Ymir; to Armin using Annie's supposedly torture to destabilizing Bertholdth during Eren's kidnapping, and again in the RtS battle; to Ymir not staying in the Island to tell the truth about the world; to RBA killing Marco; to the Yeager Brothers not talking things through with no one; to Eren hiding things from Hanji; to Levi doing Zeke's interrogation about the same topic over and over expecting a different answer he knew that wouldn't come like that; to Zeke downplaying the chances to talk and only focusing on the cruelty of the World while he held undeniable power as a Shifter with Royal Blood; to Marley refusing to admit their wrongness over all Eldians by they themselves turning people into monsters (either literally, as Pure Titans and Shifters, or by increasing the fear and hate Marley people and other nations had over Eldians in general, perpetuating the hard to break cycle of hate); to Kiyomi admitting that she hadn't tried all she could to help Paradis... when we notice the details within those moments, we see that everyone, at one point, failed to understand and communicate properly.
One of the things that stuck in my mind while rereading snk is that Isym wanted to draw the different reactions people had under the pressure of living some kind of apocalypse/ human extinction. And something that was pretty much evident through the whole manga was the terrifying sense of fear and being driven into an impossible corner to make decisions.
Taking this into account, I always remember what happened in chapter 128:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They all used to be friends before this. They fought for their lives together against Titan at the beginning of the manga. And here they all hesitated to kill each other in this sequence. Yet, because of their overwhelming fear and the urgency of the situation, they couldn't settle their differences properly. They were on the same side, but human nature is treacherous when dominated by fear.
Which brings me to something you pointed out:
Seeing him crushing all these innocent lives was chilling and just wrong, even if they hated the people of paradis they were just as ignorant as the yeagerists who held the same unbased hatred born out of fear.
THIS IS SO TRUE! But also this goes to the root of the problem in the AOT world: that the majority of people just DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK FOR UNDERSTANDING.
This by no means justifies what Eren did to them, tho. Eren WAS WRONG, period. Killing everyone who disagrees with you is not the answer! But the lesson here - looking beyond his despicable actions - is about our human nature.
And by Magath's realization in chapter 128, as well as Marleyans and Eldians of the Continent in the depths of despair (135), it seems to hint that the world could have been better if people had actually acknowledged what was wrong with it, and tried to change it for the better rather than furthering their hell. And while older (but still present) generations refused to acknowledge their mistakes, nothing would really change.
So, (putting Eren aside) some questions that linger are - why do humans wait for the worst things to happen to them to finally acknowledge their responsibilities and mistakes? Why do humans need to get on the verge of death, and their worst nightmares come true, to really seek change? Why do humans alienate their personal responsibilities over making the world a better place to be passive in the face of injustice and unfairness with the wrong majority?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which brings us to this panel right:
Tumblr media
"They'll want to know what we saw" is almost equivalent to "they will want to hear because they'll want to understand how such thing happened."
And that Levi's bubble was initially "the pain we feel" hurts even more along with his face because, imo, it shows again how much suffering and loss he/they had to endure from the beginning to the end - until their world finally started to learn with their mistakes. Still, thankfully THEY LEARNED for as long as Levi was alive. My only consolation with this snk ending was that Levi died in peace.
The one who disagreed was the impatient, raging, impulsive boy who was trapped in his childhood and the childish logic that if you kill your enemies it's problem solved.
Ngl, imo, Eren wasn't even caring much about killing enemies or not. Idk, I still have not settle my thoughts about his ending, but Eren seems to have fallen into the glorious delirium of finally turning into the most powerful being in the world, and tried to deceive himself with the idea he was doing all that destruction for people's sake while in fact, Eren was doing it because he WANTED and COULD.
And he also used the excuse of eradicating the Titans to fuel his destructive intentions even more. So he surrounded himself with reasons to do what he already wanted to do, and this I think is what is tricky about his "redemption arc". Which I now tend to see not exactly as a redemption attempt, but once more like Yams with his Schrödinger writing letting readers decide whether what happened was worth it or not while his characters bear the consequences of Eren's disastrous actions. Unfortunately, he didn't make it explicitedly enough what he REALLY wanted to accomplish with Eren's character.
Back in 2009, Eren started as a powerless victim of a hellish world where people were eaten alive by giant naked people; and up to 2017, he fought nails and teeth to save his friends. And now in 2021, he ended up as the killer of his own mother, Hanji, and 80% of humanity. This had everything to be a perfect dark and hurtful story if Yams hadn't rushed and lost sight of what he was trying to tell...
I wonder though, if Eren had done all the Rumbling and the Titan curse hadn't been broken, how he would have felt about his own actions. Because Eren seemed to have found at least some real motivation in knowing that his terror Mikasa's actions would lead to the eradication of every last one of those animals that's on this earth™. And while I would love to have seen Eren falling in the pits of despair like the end of the movie "The Mist", the Titans were indeed gone.
So the only thing I can realistically keep questioning is: Was the end of the Titan curse done like that really worth it all tho? Even for the devoted hearts?

17 Sai but it’s Google Translate
I just woke up and decided to do this.
Original translation by Chicken WIngs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXeBeorAZFU
____________
At seventeen i’m supposed to be an adult But I don’t know how
Sixth, I said. But I have some understanding of what I did. Dad, Mom, Why did you decided to get married? Was it looks? Or maybe money? I heard that it doesn’t work if it is only love
Parent | Why should I make a marriage decision? In addition, does it expect it to complete? Maybe the item is cash? I asked about the necessity of sex.
Grandpa, Grandma, Why are you all lovey-dovey? Was there no cheating at all? and isn’t divorce also not uncommon?
Lanan takes other memories, Why and how do you work? Is everything about him in a trap? Are fierce people the strangest?
Both of us having jobs And maybe our child will be a girl? A single- family home with a garden I wonder if my ideals are too expensive.
We are working Maybe we have a woman who wants a girl? The house is free, free. I have writing skills in my life. Things like cooking or cleaning I’m terrible at them, but would you still take me? But things like being spoiled or laughing Please leave them to me! Waking up early or doing things quickly I’m terrible at them, but would you still take me? Staying up late Lets choose the games and energy drinks for it! And don’t forget to give me a romantic kiss... A seventeen year old has those kinds of delusions.
It becomes a problem and cleans up This is a wrong beast. But will you take me? But as soon as possible. Please help me! Spend a fulfilling morning and do your best. This is a wrong beast. But will you take me? like Choose the energy you drink in the wild! Don't forget, give me a holiday kiss... I think the oldest child of my 11-year-old son is a number.
Dad, Mom, What kind of child did you wanted? A smart child? Or maybe a cute child? I’m not any of those, so I wonder if I qualify.
Parent | What is your favorite boy? There are children? Or is it a beautiful boy? I am not one of them, so I try not to see them, or I would rather be able to see them. Big bro, big sis, What kind of love story did you have? Someone around you age? Or perhaps someone older than you? Which one do you recommend? Hey!
BRO BRO BIG Daughter tourmaline: What kind of love? For your years? Still more than the first person? What did you get! When we reach our retirement age Lets enjoy our life with the annuities The once-a-year family trip Will be okay even if its just within the country
They had the Oahu tsunami. We want to find you in your life. The age has reached the family year. If it exists in that country, that would be great. Socializing of being in public I’m terrible at them, but would you forgive me? The kind of personality where you can read my face See, it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?
Public socialization I gave birth to me, although he was great You can read human shadows. Let's see, isn't this true? Legally speaking, I could get married at this age. For some things I’m a child For other things I’m an adult So many things I don’t understand!
quality, You can get married this year. To me is a son. I like parents I'm sure it is there!
You’re not allowed to die before me But I’m still worried I’m worried about leaving you behind They won’t stop
You will never die first. But I am very worried. I pace by your side. No
Things like cooking or cleaning I’m terrible at them, but would you still take me? But things like being spoiled or laughing Please leave them to me! Waking up early or doing things quickly I’m terrible at them, but would you still take me? Staying up late Lets choose the games and energy drinks for it! And don’t forget to give me a romantic kiss... A seventeen year old has those kinds of delusions.
It becomes a problem and cleans up This is a wrong beast. But will you take me? But as soon as possible. Please help me! Spend a fulfilling morning and do your best. This is a wrong beast. But will you take me? like Choose the energy you drink in the wild! Don't forget, give me a holiday kiss... I think the oldest child of my 11-year-old son is a number.

11:48 am | pjh
title: 11:48am pairing: park jaehyung (of day6) & you genre: fluff, bullet style words: 2.1k
author’s note: mmm i’m kind of meh about this but i jus really needed to write so i don’t lose motivation, but this is just a short fic requested by this anon asking for a lazy day scenario with jae. hope it’s still an okay read.
any requests? check my pinned post if i’m accepting any at the moment, thanks!
once you receive a specific text from jae on a regular day
“whatchu doinnnn” 
you know he’s wondering if you’re not busy, and if you come hang out at his place
which, for the majority of the time, you always tell him “not much. y?”
even though you’re 99% sure of what he wants out of you
you have already made your way to a coffee shop before he had replied 
“same. wanna do nothing together? :)”
so u get two coffees: one americano and one vanilla latte (as much as you want to cut down calories here, there is no way you can drink just water and espresso by itself
you decide on getting two sandwiches as well, it’s close to noon and there’s a high probability that jae just woke up and he hasn’t even moved from the bed
you’re lowkey happy that jae texts you first (assumingly) during days like this because, honestly you miss the 6 foot lanky nerdy soft boy a lot
jae has a habit of keeping to himself during his downtime, especially now 
but with him streaming and having new friends through the platform has helped him socialize and feel a sense of normalcy from the world, which you are really glad for 
he’s mentioned how much he misses doing band activities but doesn’t really elaborate on them
he think he talks about it too much and that you wouldn’t want to hear his repetitive whining
you don’t have the needed bravery in your heart (yet) to tell him you will never get bored or feel burdened by his thoughts, no matter what they entail
so for now, when he asks of your presence in his lovely abode— you make time for him. always. 
even if it’s just a lazy day of doing nothing
you knock on his door and text him at the same time. you look around his neighborhood and enjoy the peace and quiet outside. you wonder if jae’s soundproof walls work well enough for his next door neighbors this time. you had told him multiple times that sungjin wouldn’t appreciate the noise too much, and he if he wanted to play he can do so at your place 
however you never suggested that last thought. it swam in the sea of your thoughts one too many times but it never came to shore. you thought too much about the implications of that idea
besides, what good came out of reminding him of his streamer noises is that he finally has an apartment of his own
and you don’t feel as shy or out of place whenever you came over to the one he shared with the boys 
“oh hey, wasn’t expecting you,” jae had opened the door and you snap out of your wondering
he greets you with drowsy eyes, a full yawn and long strands of hair sticking out everywhere 
you huff out a breath and show the goods in your hands. “you’re definitely gonna need this.”
his eyes light up as he recognizes the contents of the paper bag
“whaaaat you shouldn’t have, i was about to order for delivery,” he tries for an innocent tone but the goofy smile on his face makes that extra trip to the cafe worth it
“you’re welcome, jae.”
lazy days with jae come in two ways
number one: absolutely the title. you crash on the bed, he scolds you for it but then you feel his crushing weight on top of you for revenge or
you hog the couch, splay your legs until jae does the same thing and entangles all your limbs together it becomes a semi wrestling match
number two: he’d end up wanting to do something all this time, either jam on his guitar or play WoW with you in the background, just watching
commenting on things you have 0 knowledge about, and him dismissing every words you say with a random scream from his end
“you’re so bad at this lmao”
“NONONO STOPSTOPSTOP NONONO”
“is the riff supposed to sound like that? ew” 
“you want your face to meet my guitar? :)” 
yeah, banter between you can be brutal like this which is why it gets a little embarrassing to be your true self with him when the others are involved 
today, jae seems to just enjoy sipping on his iced coffee while tippy tapping on the floor to sit next to you on the couch
??? how can a grown man do something puppies so effortlessly pull out… just as cute if not even better??? 
usually, silence isn’t how the two of you spend lazy days together. once he’s thought of a topic to talk about, however out of this world or mundane it could be— the conversations you share are what you cherish the most bonding with jae
“you ever think about the first piece of a roll of sliced bread?”
“you mean the weird looking pieces no one ever chooses first and leaves it there until there’s none of the good slices left?”
“the very one” “what about it?”
“you’re that slice of bread”
“well yeah? jokes on you, you’re the OTHER piece. there’s two in a pack dumbass” 
one would mistake this as insulting, but this is how jae shows his affection to you, and you wouldn’t want it any other way
there’s a certain comfort in just.. not deliberating whether you’d overstep a line or say something that would be misconstrued. with jae, you appreciate the candid friendship you mutually benefit from
his sarcastic personality can be a pain at times when not needed, of course, but when you’ve missed him so much it just feels right
“jae your legs are too long for the couch get a new one.” he had taken over the other end of the couch with his legs over yours, and you’re trying your best to make the position comfortable
but being inches close to his socks and noticing that he’s intentionally moving his feet about just to annoy you
“you get me a new couch so we both fit here”
“bro do you know how empty my wallet is rn” 
“as empty as your love life?”
“oh we’re talking about ourselves right now? ok cool”
he scoffs at your comeback, but he remains speechless and gives you room to breathe. you panic for a second thinking maybe, this is the unexplained boundary he has to draw a line on? love? 
but he puts down his already finished americano, and looks back at you a deadpan expression
you sit up as well, nerves creeping up on your arm. you didn’t want to take it too far and in your defense, this isn’t the first time you teased each other about your, well, non-existent romantic endeavors
“jae, i—”
“oh my god did you see your face?? i was kidding chilllll” he starts to burst into a fit of laughter, the kind where he loses air and lolls his head back 
this time you pout, reaching over to flick him on the forehead. his 6th sense had improved a lot overtime being with you as he blocks your hand away from his face, and sticks a tongue out
“you think i wasn’t prepared for that anymore?” he taunt, locking his grip around your wrist
“now you’re just making fun of me” >:(
“you get really puffy cheeks and look adorable when you’re mad” 
“THAT IS NOT A VALID REASON!!”
eventually he lets you go, pats your head then proceeds to just ruffle it as messy as his, and in an instant your mood changes again
you shouldn’t lie to yourself anymore, you love jae’s company and it would kill you if he’d one day decide he’s too old or too “mature” for moments like this
you get winded up with denial of having a crush on your best friend, and you’re so sure he knows at this point
because he reels you back into the present and challenges you to a game os super smash bros
and when he loses, he does it again. and you win again, and this time he says it was just a warm-up and he shouldn’t go easy on you anymore
and then you win again, and you’re the one cackling in the air at his look of defeat as well as the 6 losses he had endured during the matches
“man you’re getting rusty”
“am not! i’ve just been playing WoW too much i’m not used to switch controls anymore…”
“sure buddy”
“HEY, 1v1 me in league right now, i dare you”
“no”
“WHY?”
“you only have one desktop, stupid. i didn’t bring my laptop”
“oh so by default I win :D”
nothing can ever get away with jae, he always needs to have the last laugh with you and at times it’s frustrating, but his carefree charisma has grown on you so much that you anticipate what else he has in store to give you a hard time 
jokes on him, you fall for jae just an inch deeper the more he treats you comfortably this way 
it’s only been an hour or two, but jae had decided that he’s done enough productive stuff for the day (read: losing too many times) and invited you over to chill on his bed
it’s not an uncommon sight for the both of you to lie next to each other, taking turns with queueing up music on spotify. songs you and jae love together, and those that are new to your ears 
sometimes, you’d talk over the playlist— it becomes more of background noise as jae asks you about your day, the days before that, and what you’re planning on doing in the future
he doesn’t ask for specific answers, he likes to hear how you’ve been feeling, emotionally so
jae has always been intrigued by other people’s perception of themselves, of the things around them, and of what they think of the universe in the back of their minds
it was a little too much to handle, those questions of his, when you first were just getting to know each other
but he eased into it naturally, confessing about his love for the moon— its beauty in appearance, and the beauty of its purpose
which made you think… you’re in love with the moon too, not just what you see in the sky
but what you see right next to you right now
jae had given you enough time before to open up about your own thoughts, struggles, and share secrets with him. it didn’t take long until you found the trust between you and held onto it for dear life
lazy days with jae can be just that— lazy, loafing around the house, stealing a chip or two from each other’s bag, falling asleep to the sound of lofi music on the speaker
but it can go this way too: with jae explaining how good this one song can be, the metaphors every verse carries with the melody. “you’ve always heard of chocolate eyes or whatever, but blueberry? and to describe the setting sun as strawberry skies? amazing, GENIUS” 
and you laugh, and listen to the same song over and over as per jae’s request until he overpowers the original vocals— and you don’t complain, there’s not a sound you love to hear on a lazy afternoon than his low register, the kind of singing he does just for the heck of it. he’s not exerting too much range, too much work on the words he sings— he’s just doing so to comfort him, to bring life to the room, to dwell on each poetic verse’s meaning
i’m so lost in your blueberry eyes
he finishes singing, and the playlist shuffles to an instrumental lofi track with an upbeat, charming rhythm to it
jae keeps his eyes closed, smiling to himself probably proud for his faux performance
“you done gloating in your head yet, jae?”
“shut up i’m feeling the moment”
you poke his shoulder with yours, and you’re suddenly hyper aware at how close the two of you are.. physically, right now
he turns his head towards you, eyes fluttering, lips slightly open. he catches you staring, and it’s too sudden for you to look away and pretend it’s not awkward at all
“what are you doing?” he asks, a lilt of teasing on his voice but his eyes never leave yours 
“sh..shut up,” you quip in a small voice, looking down on your laying bodies before turning away, cheeks warm
“wait what? what i was asking a genuine question—”
“i was.. feeling the moment, okay? god jae you’re annoying” you mutter under your breath, a lousy response to cover up the pounding in your chest
“this moment feels really nice, doesn’t it?” he says next to you, quiet but gentle
you pause for a second, taking in his words and letting go of the smile you’re trying to hold off on
your heart is still racing, but there wasn’t a need to worry about stumbling with your feelings
if jae himself is enjoying your own company right now 
“it is. if it’s with you, it really is.”

VR Porn Review - How to find good ones?
Tumblr media
Reading a VR Porn review is one of the best ways to find out what you can expect from using this type of software. It's not uncommon for there to be negative or positive responses to this technology. The good news is that there is also a lot of software out there that consumers haven't tried. To ensure you get the most out of this technology, it's a good idea to read reviews on the products available. Here are a few reasons why you may enjoy using VR Porn.
- Content is king. There are many different types of software that can be used to deliver adult content to people. You can find this content on websites that offer it as a paid download or even simply streaming in various formats. Some people prefer the older school "red-light" style ads that are present during sexual scenes. With these you can actually be part of the action while enjoying your favorite video.
- Great taste is key. Content isn't the only thing people enjoy about VR Porn. It's also an interactive experience that allows you to talk and interact with the characters in the scenes. This is important because it helps you connect with the characters on an intimate level that you can't experience when watching regular pornography. This type of software provides a new way for people to enjoy their favorite adult material. 
- Action is next to godliness. When you are inside of a virtual environment, you feel like you are an action-packed participant. It's almost as if you are a part of the action while the software streamlines everything. For instance, when you are negotiating a trade with another character in the scene, the software has you do some negotiating. You don't need to be anywhere else than where you are negotiating to enjoy this aspect of the program.
- Comfort is key. A VR Porn review should mention that the software creates a realistic sexual environment that allows you to fully enjoy the sex acts without feeling awkward or inhibited. From the comfort level you are in during play, to the positions you choose, and the way your partner looks at you during sex, this is a big plus for most people. 
- Great content is easy to find. This is one of the biggest issues people have with mainstream porn. Finding great adult content has always been a chore for many people. With a well made VR Porn application you can easily find and enjoy all kinds of hot content. There are videos from top sites featuring some of the best content available. You can also locate content from smaller sites that have just as much quality.
- The setting is amazing. When you are in a VR Porn environment, you feel as though you are in real life, but without having to actually leave your front door. It can be very romantic or it can be very sexy, it's up to you and the person you are with to customize the settings to your liking. With so many adult VR Porn applications it's up to you to make the time to enjoy the sights and sounds.
These are just a few things you can expect to find in a quality VR Porn application. There are many more benefits for people to enjoy. With all of the different types of VR Porn available, you will be able to have an amazing time enjoying anything you want. The choice is all yours. Enjoy your free trail of VR porn now!
If you don’t have time to find your own VR porn sites, I would recommend you try people like VR Porn Bro and the VR Pimp websites. For example, VR Porn Bro did an excellent review on a service I like....  Check it out Virtual Taboo Review

give us the good werewolf!! i Must Know More
HEEHEE...............
ok BASICALLY, this will obviously be focused on Qinghe/the nie bros, so just for ref
Nie - Werewolf
Lan - Satyr
Jin - Elven
Jiang - Mermaid/Waterfolk
Wen - Draconic
WWX is vampire bc hes stupid and gay
Mingjue is half Elven, but you wouldn’t think he was asides from the big ears, Huaisang is full ‘wolf; jgy is elven/dryad; Wen Qing & Wen Ning are draconic/waterfolk
(For those who see this in the tags, this isn’t Om*g*v*rse or A/*/O do NOT touch this if u like that shit)
NOW, for actual werewolf content
The way the pack works in Qinghe is still pretty similar to clans in canon, just slightly different
Mingjue and his direct family are the head family Of Course, and they secure this position via duels/fighting should another family want to take over; these duels are common under stressful times, but Mingjue has been able to keep it held down. 
The duels are like.....scheduled ahead of time, and are held in a secure area; the rules are that you can’t kill your opponent, that if you win you must treat the wolf who lost, + only the wolf who challenged the leader can fight, no one else (and vice versa, only the leader can fight) can join in, And More
like you cant aim for vitals, use teeth beyond taunting, fights cant be scheduled during/near full moons, and the fighters must choose whether they will both fight in humanoid form or wolf form
 Clan elders supervise the fight, and have selected specific soldiers that will help break up the fight if anything goes wrong; doctors are also on stand by bc these fights get BLOODY (esp w mingjue)
Huaisang nearly loses his position after pretty much being back-to-back challenged for his position, which instilled the rule that duels can only happen three times a year. He’s managed to win his duels with his own tricks, but they can still end pretty bloody
Ranking is not much different due to the clans wanting consistency (also im stupid and gay)
The nies end up becoming the most medically advanced due to how dangerous shifting is; they develop medications to ease pain, different magic stuff to control body temperature, etc. etc.
and actually the Nies are known for being pretty wolves
TYPICALLY a fully shifted wolf during a full moon aren’t the prettiest things to look at; most commonly their fur is patchy, their limbs are obviously distorted, faces look mutilated in a sense, all that
BUT, due to advances in cultivation & medicine they’re able to be calm after a shift, so they’re able to keep up w personal hygiene LMAO
Mingjue personally is almost obsessive with keeping his fur a certain way to be both 1. Handsome :) 2. intimidating as hell; he has the advantage of getting rlly thick hair from his Elven side, so his pelt is flush. but he also leaves some of it “messy” and puffed out for the intimidation bit
huaisang keeps his completely brushed n smooth and he’s usually nested in his bed when he shifts. he was also blessed with the fullness in his pelt, but his chest/belly and thighs are more ‘bare’ compared to mingjue.
they also braid what parts of the fur they can; mingjue and huaisang have LOTS of braids as usual
ALSO the most common pelt color is black with white/lighter pelts being on the uncommon side, second most common are dark creams/browns/reds with black snouts/heads/legs/etc. 
Mingjue has ruddy brown + black snout/legs/all that; Huaisang has brown w black ticked (i have NO idea what the dog term is for that, its like the tips of the fur is black??) 
both have bright amber/yellow eyes
ALSO THEIR TAILS...........
ok. PRIMARILY. they dont have tails in human form, BUT, it’s possible, and it’s something that puppies/young disciples will usually let show??
Mingjue ONLY shows his tail when hes in private with someone close, like Huaisang or Xichen, and he Knows they won’t be walked in on. He just has this Thing where he’ll be fucking humiliated if someone else saw it. he also has rlly long fur on his tail so its PRETTY, he just thinks its childish
Huaisang on the other hand kept his tail out until he became the sole leader of the pack, save for like, banquets he attended with Mingjue bc mingjue would tell him to Quit It.
getting rid of a tail is an hour long process so mingjue has to watch the time to get huaisang before they go anywhere
if theres no time to hide a tail, tuck it in ur pants so it doesn’t move and hide it under layers
just. a tail in humanoid form is a different context than just seeing it when they’re shifted, and again a sign of childishness.
puppy ears in human form can also happen but it’s discouraged heavily because of the possibility of damaging ear canals.
OH ALSO, another reason why like, the nie clan has that GIANT ass wall surrounding its city, is because they go on total lockdown during full moons. 
puppies are a fucking MESS to deal with, and they run like. constantly. If they’re still it’s because they’re either eating something or they’ve passed out from exhaustion. Huaisang was a TERROR when he was a puppy and mingjue still has a scar on his arm from when he went ballistic from pent-up energy
SO! There’s different parts of the city where puppies and young wolves can run around, destroy shit, eat whatever, wrestle each other, all that, and they’re HEAVILY supervised by elders/adult wolves who have better control of themselves during fullmoons
the only wolves who can leave the area during a fullmoon are Mingjue and Huaisang, and maybe like, a really well-respected elder or two, but that’s it
and despite popular belief this is actually the WORST time to attack Qinghe. Every wall is guarded, everyone is in a state where they can mutilate someone thats usually considerably stronger than them in human form, and Everyone is on high-alert whether they’re destroying a tree or nearly unconscious
theres also areas in the city sealed off for weaker/sickly wolves who are taken care of by capable adults, citizens of other species, all that
full moons aren’t hated in qinghe! they’re quite fun if you’re a werewolf; the areas for Going Ham are usually packed with different stuff u can mess with, you just have to watch ur back
they also aren’t that violent bc again, intense supervision by elders and the like; and they’re becoming more and more festival like with cultivation and medical advancement
then of course, the sword situation is still very much the same; my version of werewolves are like, slightly allergic to silver, but piercing one or having silver near won’t kill a wolf. the most it will do is give them a rash :/
all of their jewelry/accessories are made out of different metals because of this, esp since Qinghe is rich with that (+jewels/gems bc i love that hc so much)
THENNN i think last thing for now, they DO wear some form of clothing in wolf form, MOST of the time
typically there’s enough fur to cover privates, but its not unusual for there Not to be enough fur, so there’s specially made hanfu for full moons that are custom made for each wolf
basically being a seamstress in Qinghe will Get You Places, bc tears will happen, people will want them adjusted if they’re passing them to another family member, fashion choices, etc. etc.
Mingjue normally wears really simple hanfu and dachangs (the like, over-robe thing), but xichen bought him a specially made hanfu that he likes to wear during really important events, should he be in wolf form :)
huaisang buys new full moon hanfu every few months He Likes To Sit And Feel Pretty By Himself............(Or Maybe For Jiang Cheng If He Visits..........)

could i request some positivity for a trans guy jake with an unsupportive family? i’m still a minor so i can’t just leave, but i know if i came out they’d try to force to be a girl. i don’t know if i can wait until i’m an adult, but i don’t have another choice. sorry if this is a lot, thanks if you do this one
Hey Jake,
As a transguy myself with a complicated family life, I really feel you. It sucks to be going through such a confusing and uncertain time in your life feeling like you can't rely on the 2 people that should have your back no matter what. Being trans isn't easy. It isn't all pride parades, body positivity and crop top binders. It can be trying. It can tug against your very soul as you try to choose between the path of least resistance and the path that will make you happy.
In less than a week, I will have been on T for 3 months, and let me tell you... yeah, I still deal with a lot of body dysphoria, I still deal with misgendering sometimes and a plethora of other problems. Transitioning doesn't just magically make all of one's problems go away. But taking this step has been really good for me overall. It feels good to take back some control in your life. And you'll have that opportunity too someday as well, so hang in there. It'll be worth the wait.
You will find people who will accept you for who you are and it'll outshine all the hatred you've received at the hands of parents who just don't understand what you're going through.
And besides all that, you don't have to have it all figured out right now either. Hell, I still don't. I consider myself nonbinary FtM, but sometimes I still question if i'm a genderfluid male. Being a system makes it more complicated for me, but it's certainly not uncommon to have some self-doubt as a transperson, and that's okay. You're allowed that. You're allowed to figure things out. Take your time and focus on the people who love and accept you for who you are; regardless of your gender identity.
I'm rooting for ya kid,
Mod Bro

Misc. explanations on why they’re called the Mario Bros.
So at sci-fi club last night I brought up some of the stuff from the Mario games I've been watching walkthroughs of and someone mentioned that in his opinion the greatest unsolved mystery of the series is why they're called the Mario Bros instead of any number of weird things that gets hinted at in the games. Mushroom economics, how do you work? But I actually consider that a problem with multiple very reasonable explanations:
Choose any one or combination of the following
1. Mario really is just their last name. Dumber names than Mario Mario and Luigi Mario have existed even outside a world ruled by cartoon violence and talking mushrooms. There are real life people with names like Kelly Kelly and Daniel Daniels. Sure "Mario" is probably not an actual last name irl, but they've also got fire breathing giant turtles that practice dark magic while flying around the galaxy, so reality doesn't have much say in what happens in the Mushroom Kingdom.
2. Mario is their last name, but it's not the elder Mario's first name. Maybe his first name is "Jumpman" since that's what he was first called. Alternatively, it could be any unknown name, but elder Mario for whatever reason just doesn't like his first name so he goes by his last name.
3. Basically the same thing as 2 but maybe the Mushroom Kingdom has a tradition of calling the eldest sibling by their family name and all the younger ones by their given name.
4. Alternatively, they do have a last name that isn't Mario, but they both find it embarrassing for whatever reason and try not to use it.
5. "Mario brothers" came about because they live amongst a bunch of Toads named "Toad", Yoshis named "Yoshi" and so on. Humans are a small minority in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario probably introduced himself first while Luigi hid in the corner because he's scared of everybody to whatever Toads or other species they went to school with and being children they thought all humans were named Mario. "Mario brothers" is just a relic of that early childhood confusion that they embraced.
6. They don't have a last name. "Mario Bros" is as good as anything else.
7. They don't have a last name, Mushroom Kingdom family names are just whatever your parent's name is. Turns out their dad was also named Mario.
8. They don't have a last name. Last names are reserved for nobility in the Mushroom Kingdom and surrounding countries, or at the very least are uncommon for the peasant class. Example, we've got Peach Toadstool and Bowser Koopa, but not many others with a canon last name. Sure, Elvin Gadd might look like a counter example to this, but science used to be a field pretty much restricted to either the wealthy or clergy and E. Gadd has absolutely no fear of any god so he's definitely not clergy. Possibly he's some minor noble's cousin or something and they're just very glad that he's decided to take his inadvisable experiments elsewhere. Also, there are plenty of ghosts with last names in the Luigi's Mansion games, but 1. they might not actually be in the Mushroom Kingdom so they might have different naming practices and 2. they've got an awful lot of money and tend to hang around big fancy mansions and stuff so there's a good chance they aren't peasants. Possibly they were able to pick a family name after saving the kingdom enough times and went with "Mario".
9. Mario started calling them the "Mario Bros" and Luigi didn't stop him because he's a pushover.
10. The Doyalist and Watsonian explanations can be one and the same: they're called the "Mario Bros" for branding. Name recognition is good for business and a lot more people know who Mario is than Luigi both in and out of universe, and no one seems to know their actual last name (unless it's Jumpman). It's a lot easier for them to get plumbing/princess rescuing/athletics/whatever jobs as the "Mario brothers" than as the "[insert last name here] brothers".
plus, I'm sure there are other completely plausible explanations out there too

Could we have some headcannons with Poly!Lashton but you and Ash were dating first before you bring Luke in and he's so shy cause you and Ashton were dating first so how does he fit in?
POLY!LASHTON (Luke joining)
-fam. i am so ready for this
-okay so you and Ash are a couple
-you’ve been a couple for ages
-and you two are super sexual
-like. lets be real here
-while writing Youngblood they spend a lot of time in the studio and it was not uncommon at all for Ash to message you and for you to show up and the two of you disappear for a half hour before he came back with a lot of energy to make music
-the guys always laugh about it
-except for Luke… cuz you’re gorgeous and the two of you vibe really well
-and it’s tough for him
-because when you and Ashton started dating and he introduced you to everyone you and Luke hit it off
-since then you’ve become really great friends but Ashton is always around
-and Ashton loves having his arm over your shoulders or his hand on your thigh so it’s a constant reminder that Luke can’t fucking touch you
-and then the album comes out and of course you’re coming on tour
-like, it’s not even a question
-and everyone knows what this means
-because they’ve all been on tour before and they know about the cramped bed spaces in the busses and they all know how horny Ashton gets after shows when his adrenaline is still pumping
-and Luke is kinda just like “fuuuuck” about the whole situation
-especially because you definitely see Luke as your best friend in the band
-like you hang out with him all the time
-at parties Ash throws where he has to run around and make sure people aren’t ‘pulling an Ashton’ and chopping down one of his trees, you usually hang out with Luke
-and he knows he should be somewhere else with some other girl who he might actually be able to take home, but he can never bring himself to drag himself away from you
-and Ashton just thinks Luke’s being a bro about it
-”thanks for looking out for her mate.” Ashton always says when he shows up again, arm going around your waist, “if you weren’t here she’d probably be fending off a group of guys right now.”
-like, people mistake you and Luke for being a couple all the time
-because you are super close
-i’m talking pictures where his arm is around you
-pictures where you’re kissing his cheek
-pictures where you’re lying down across him and Ashton
-because you’re best buds
-and any time Luke hangs out at Ashton’s place you’re chill to just walk around in your bikini and hop in the pool while the guys are out and about
-because you’re Ashton’s girl
-Luke always hates himself for looking when you walk past in a bikini. but he can’t help himself
-Cal notices a week before they go on tour
-you’re at a house party and you’re playing beer pong with Ashton and you look radiant. and Luke is staring because holy fuck you look so good
-”you gotta sort that out mate.” Cal sighs, taking a drink of his beer
-”what?” Luke asks, snapping out of it
-”you can’t go after Ashton’s girl.” Cal clarifies
-”fuck. i know.” Luke groans
-he does know. he does. but fuck you look so good
-he watches as you get a ball in a cup and Ashton wraps his arms around your waist, lifting you off the round and pressing his lips to yours while you scream and laugh, two sounds he loves so much
-so the day of tour comes and you all head to the airport
-your neck is covered in spots from the night before with Ashton and it makes Luke’s stomach churn
-”hey Giraffe.” you tease, linking your arm with his, “you excited bubba?”
-all the pet names make his heart sore and Luke smiles slightly, “yeah, looks like you and Ashton had fun last night.”
-”we have fun every night.” you wave your hand as if it’s the most usual thing in the world. and it is.
-the two of you talk as you get to the plane and while boarding Ashton’s arms slip around your waist as he pulls you down into the seat next to his
-Lukes seat is, of course, right across the aisle from yours
-he gets a full view of you and Ashton putting ear phones in together and beginning to listen to music, Ashton tapping out the beat against your face while he kisses you and you giggle
-the flight kicks off and it’s a long one so Michael is already passed out in the seat behind you. Cal and Luke on their phones
-a while in, the cabin lights dim because a lot of people are sleeping. Luke doesn’t look up when you get out of your seat and move to the bathroom
-but when Ashton stands a few minutes later, he looks up
-he watches Ashton go into the same bathroom you just did
-Luke puts in his ear buds
-the two of you come out a little while later, Ashton’s hair messy and the two of you grinning at each other as you head him back to your seats
-Ashton meets Luke’s eyes and winks
-Luke nods slightly with his chin, smiling, as if to say ‘good for you, mile high club.’ like any other dude bro would when his best mate just got laid on a plane
-as soon as Ashton isn’t looking, Luke’s smile falters
-he continues to look at his phone and then looks up when you get into the seat next to him. Ashton is asleep across the aisle. “Luke, i’m bored. let’s watch a movie.” 
-he agrees and the two of you share ear buds as you choose a movie to watch
-you rest your head on his shoulder and you stay there the entire film. and the film after that.
-Luke is about to ask you about the third movie when he notices you’re asleep on his shoulder
-heart. melted.
-you and Ash both wake up as the plane begins its decent, you wave at your boyfriend from across the aisle, “Luke and i watched movies.” you inform him and Ash is, as always, super chill about it
-the plane lands and you meet Ashton in the aisle, his hands settling on your waist as he kisses you like he hasn’t seen you in ages
-and Luke has a full, up close and personal view of it
-they get their stuff and pile into the van, Ashton pulling you onto his lap as the car takes you to the first hotel where they can all rest a bit before their first show
-Ashton’s lips tease your neck and you’re laughing and trying to pull out of his grasp, “Ash!” you giggle and he just grins, “don’t fight it Princess, you know you love me.” you relax back against him and let him nip at your ear, a huge grin on your face, “yeah, i do.”
-Luke puts in his ear buds
-getting to the hotel and you and Ash can’t wait to get out of the car and get the keys to your room.
-waiting for the elevator and Luke steps in but Cal is like “Luke maybe we should take the next one-” but before Luke can leave the elevator, you and Ash have entered and Ashton has hit the close the door button and now you’re pressed against the wall in the elevator, legs wrapped around Ashton’s waist and Luke is just there
-and of course this is a mirrored elevator so anywhere Luke looks he sees you
-Ashton is kissing your neck and you open your eyes, staring directly into Luke’s and he just flushes a bright red and looks down
-you finally get to your floor and Ashton carries you out of the elevator and before Luke can even blink, the two of you are in your hotel room and the door is closed
-Cal and Michael’s elevator comes up a few seconds later and Cal is just like “you should take the elevator with us next time mate.”
-”why are they so horny all the time?” Luke sighs
-”to be fair, they just had a 12 hour flight and didn’t fuck-” Michael begins
-”no they fucked while you two were asleep.” Luke interjects
-”no fucking way!” Michael laughs, “what a fucking legend.”
-the band gets some rest and when it’s time to all drive to the venue, the group is waiting in the car for five minutes before you and Ashton come running out of the hotel
-”sorry we’re late, Y/N got a little tied up.” Ashton grins
-and of course everyone fucking knows what this means
-like seriously Ashton? you’re not suave.
-getting to the arena and stuff goes pretty normal
-you hang out while they do band stuff
-Ashton goes to get dressed into his stage outfit and after a while you seem to disappear too. Luke doesn’t think much of it until he walks into one of the back stage dressing rooms and gets a full view of Ashton fucking you against a table
-Luke turns around and leaves while Ashton yells “close the fucking door!” and Luke can hear you both burst into a fit of giggles while he follows Ashton’s command
-Ashton comes out a little while later looking energetic as fuck and he goes onto the stage with a huge grin
-Luke is surprised when they get off stage and Ashton doesn’t immediately drag you off somewhere, instead Ashton is like “who wants to go to the club?!”
-everyone agrees and after they get changed out of their clothes they all head over
-but as soon as you and Ashton enter the club, one of your favourite songs starts playing and you drag Ashton to the dance floor
-you know the term ‘sex with clothes on’? yeah. thats how you and Ashton dance
-you dance for a bit before the two of you approach the table everyone is sitting at, “I’m going to get drinks.” Ashton declares.
-”and i need a new dance partner!” you grin, grabbing Cal’s hand, “Cal come dance.” “kinda tired Y/N, sorry.” Calum smiles softly. Michael is on his phone so now you turn to Luke, “Luke. You. Me. Dance floor. lets go.” and when your hand grabs his of course he lets you drag him through the crowd
-he loves watching you dance
-and you’re just bopping around having fun and being silly and it makes him laugh
-you grab his hand and make him twirl you and it’s just honest to god softness
-then your eye catches something over Luke’s shoulder and you scream “Ashton has drinks!” then your dragging Luke back to the table
-you and Ashton don’t last that long after that
-at one moment you’re dancing in the crowd then you’re gone and Cal sighs, “okay, we can leave now.” none of them were super into it anyways and now that their ring leader is gone they can head back to the hotel
-”who has a room next to them tonight?” Michael asks as they get into the cab
-”I do.” Cal sighs, “but i brought ear plugs so it should be fine.”
-Luke can’t sleep. not because he can hear anything but because he knows whats happening like less than 100 meters away
-the next morning Ash wakes everyone up early to grab breakfast and they’re all so confused, especially Calum who is straight up like “but you didn’t sleep! i know for a fact you and Y/N did not sleep last night, how do you have so much energy?”
-Calum won’t let Ashton into the elevator and makes him take the stairs while the rest of you take the elevator
-you look a little tired too but cute as fuck in one of Ashton’s worn out hoodies
-Calum walks with you and makes Ashton stay at the back of the group because “Ashton its a day into tour and i’ve had enough of this.”
-and at the restaurant Calum and Michael sit on either side of you
-”come on, this is a bit much don’t you think Cal?” Ashton laughs, sitting across from you
-you and Ashton try to touch feet under the table and Calum is just like “seriously?!”
-”yeah keep it in your fucking pants.” Michael laughs
-and of course Ash can’t just pass up an opportunity to feed you pancake so you’re that couple that’s leaning across the table and he feeds you like that
-”come on!” Cal puts his face in his hands, “well. i tried.”
-so tour continues and you and Ashton continue to be way too sexual
-Luke learns that ear buds are his best friend and to always knock on any closed door
-also, a week in you start wearing Ashton’s button ups and that is sexy as fuck
-like, even Michael and Cal’s eyes widen when you walk into rooms in Ashton’s button ups
-and of course you wearing Ashton’s button up is just to tease the fuck out of Ashton
-”i’ve been looking for that shirt.” Ashton says, hands settling on your waist
-”well here it is.” you tease, fingers lacing in Ashton’s hair
-everyone groans
-you and Ash leave the room
-its almost time to go on stage and the band is getting restless, “where is he.” Calum sighs. “fuck, i’ll go find him.” Michael sighs. “no, i’ll do it.” Luke groans, standing up
-he finds the room pretty fast, the noises are louder than normal, he knocks but there’s no answer. he stands there for a second, then takes a deep breath, opening the door
-”Luke!” Ashton screams as soon as Luke opens the door
-Ashton has you against a wall, ringed hand on your throat, you’re still wearing his button up but it’s completely open and Luke gets a good look at your body before he states, “Ash we need you on stage.”
-”in a minute.”
-”now.” Luke sighs
-Ashton stops, still inside you, “you going to let me finish or what mate?”
-”i’m not leaving until you do.” Luke says. its a gamble. he knows it.
-Ashton looks at you then at Luke, “do you mind princess?”
-you meet Luke’s eyes then shake your head slightly
-well. Luke’s gamble fucked up
-but he’s not about to pussy out, he closes the door behind him and leans back against it while Ash begins to go to town again
-Ashton grins when he notices your eyes slipping over his shoulder once or twice, “you like this Princess?” he groans, nipping at your neck, “you like looking at Luke while you take my cock?” “yes daddy sir”
-(i was in class while writing this and had to stop because i am a fuck)
-Luke is so shook
-”do you want Luke to join babe?” Ashton asks
-Luke’s heart stops in his chest
-your eyes meet Luke’s and he doesn’t say anything but you nod, “yes Ashton.”
-Ashton looks around for a second before his eyes land on the couch, “okay baby, on the couch.” he pulls out of you and you walk over to the couch, discarding the button up and getting on your knees, on all fours with your hand resting on the arm rest, you’re face is around waist level and this allows Ashton to half kneel on the couch behind you
-”well Luke, what are you waiting for?” Ashton asks, groaning as he slides into you
-Luke practically stumbles over, looking at you, “are you okay with this?” he asks
-”just take your dick out Luke.” “yeah Luke, take your dick out.” Ashton repeats what you said with a laugh
-”fuck, you said we have two minutes?” Ashton asks, grip tightening on your hips
-”yeah, fuck.” Luke groans as you begin to blow him
-”better work your magic then babe.” Ashton instructs you, “can’t leave Luke blue balled before he goes on stage.”
-Luke’s about to say that you’re already doing a fantastic job but then you suck harder and you’re doing this thing with your tongue and his eyes close as his head lols back, fingers going into your hair
-they’re both getting close when Ash says “you can’t cum in her mouth.”
-”what?!” Luke asks, eyes snapping open
-”i said: you can’t cum in her mouth.” Ashton repeated, “when you’re close, i’ll move her and you can come on her tits and stomach.”
-and it’s not like Luke can argue
-a few more seconds go by and Luke says “fuck, okay, i’m close.”
-Ashton hand wraps around your neck as he pulls you back against his chest as Luke finishes himself off, cumming on your tits and stomach like Ashton instructed
-Ashton’s grip on your throat tightens and you stare at Luke through your eyelashes while Ashton cums too
-Ashton’s hand lets go of your neck and he presses a kiss to your cheek, “see you after the show babe.” he picks up the button up you had been wearing and puts it on, pulling his pants back up while Luke does the same
-before Luke can say anything Ashton grabs his shoulder and pulls him from the room
-you clean yourself off and put on clothes, lounging on the couch and catching your breath
-”Ashton-” Luke starts to say but they reach the side stage and a stage manager ushers Ashton on stage before Luke can say anything else
-Luke is freaking out but he goes on stage and somehow manages to get through the whole show
-as soon as it’s over and the band exits the stage Ashton grabs you and pulls you into a kiss before the two of you head out to the van to take you back to the hotel
-”Luke are you okay?” Michael asks, watching Luke watching you and Ash leave, “what happened in the dressing room, you were gone a while.”
-”I… uh…” Luke begins to try to answer
-Cal’s jaw dropped, “did you… did you join them?”
-”holy fuck!” Michael laughs and they both turn to look at Luke, “you totally fucking did!”
-Luke just groans, hiding his face in his hands
-”lets just head back to the hotel.” Luke sighs
-they all have an early morning getting on the tour bus and going to the next city and thats probably a good idea
-”you don’t want to talk about it?” Cal asks
-”yeah spill the details mate.” Michael grins, “Ashton’s always ranted about how amazing her mouth is but i’ve always thought that he’s probably lying. was he lying?”
-”he wasn’t lying.” Luke sighs
-”fuuuuck.” Michael groans, “no shit.”
-”Luke-” Cal begins because he definitely knows Luke’s legitimately in love with you
-but Luke cuts him off, “don’t want to talk about it.”
-they get into the van and head back to the hotel, it’s a pretty quiet drive because Michael obviously wants more details but as they roll up to the hotel Michael sighs, “fuck. can’t believe Lashton was the first threesome.”
-Luke gets out of the shower when his phone buzzes, its a message from Ashton: ‘watching that movie you wanted to see. come over.’
-Luke sighs but throws on sweats and a hoodie and trudges over
-you open the hotel door in (once again) a button up that goes to your mid thighs, “hey!” you grin, getting on your tip toes to hug him, “Ashton’s in the shower.”
-”i got a text-”
-”from me. yeah, i messaged you.” you answer, ushering the tall boy into the room before closing the door, “wasn’t sure how else to get you here.”
-he laughs awkwardly, “what do you mean?”
-”we should talk about today, you looked kinda distraught when you left.” you respond. you pull him to the bed and sit down, getting comfy against the pillows and making space for him
-he sits and Ash comes out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, “hey Luke.” he says, dropping the towel to pull on some sweats and Luke averts his eyes but Ashton laughs, “you’ve seen it all before.”
-this is the most awkward Luke has ever felt with the two of you and it’s showing
-”Luke we really don’t want this to be awkward.” you say, “we talked it over and we were thinking, if you want to, you could be part of this.”
-”what?” Luke laughs
-”she likes you, you like her, we’re best mates, that threesome was fun, you could join.” Ashton tries to clarify, when Luke still looks lost Ashton laughs, “come on Luke, you’ve heard of polyamory haven’t you?”
-”so you mean join like… like…” “like date us.” you finish for him, “we’re both starving, we’re heading to a 24/hour a day burger joint. you should come.”
-”okay.” Luke agrees
-you grin, pulling Luke into a hug and kissing his cheek before getting off the bed as Ashton tosses you sweats and a hoodie, you shed the button up and Luke gets a full view of your gorgeous body as you pull on the clothes
-Ashton goes and opens the door and you pull Luke off the bed by his hand, the two of you leaving the room past Ash who closes the door behind the three of you before putting his arm over your shoulders
-walking that way works really well?
-you ask Luke how the concert went and you all just begin talking
-talking has always been easy for you three
-the night goes really well and you all end up at the hotel, Luke goes to get his room key and Ashton is like “what are you doing mate?” “getting my key?” Luke answers. you and Ashton laugh as you pull him into your room
-your lips attach to Luke’s and he melts into the kiss while Ash closes and locks the door behind the three of you
-Ashton comes behind you
-because you’re all in sweats and hoodies it’s easy as fuck to get all your clothes off, especially because you and Ash were practically nude under your clothing anyways
-and Ash is calling all the shots
-that much is obvious
-it’s wild and kinky but Luke fits so naturally into it because you’re all so comfortable with each other
-falling asleep between the two gorgeous blondes
-a loud banging at your door waking you up, “Ashton! Y/N! we need to be on the bus in five minutes!” Calum is screaming
-”shit.” Luke says, the first one to get up and throw on his clothes
-as he opens the door to the hallway he realizes Cal is now knocking on his door. Cal turns and notices Luke coming out of Ashton’s room and sighs, “come on mate, you didn’t.”
-Luke mumbles an apology before pushing past Cal and into his room
-when he gets down and onto the tour bus you and Ash are already there with Cal and Michael in the couch area
-You and Ash make room for him as Michael explains the new game he got for his nintendo switch that’s connected to the TV
-Luke’s hand goes to your thigh and you grin at him, he gives a small smile back
-and thus begins the Lashton triad
-Calum stares at the three of you a lot because he’s worried about Luke
-a few days of the three of you sneaking off and stolen kisses go by before Luke and Ashton decide to to tell Michael and Calum
-they are both shook
-”so Ash… you just invited Luke to start dating your girlfriend?” Michael asks in shock
-”i mean, Y/N and i have been talking about it for a while,” Ashton shrugs “so when Luke came into the dressing room-” “we don’t want to hear it.” Calum sighs, hiding his face. “yes we do!” Michael grins
-Michael and Cal though you and Ash were sexual. throw Luke into the mix and it’s even worse better
-wearing Ashton’s button ups and having Luke’s glitter on your face
-painting their nails
-and of course Ash has this brilliant idea where you should totally be able to paint one of their nails while getting fucked doggy style by the other
-yeah, you three depend on hotel rooms
-when you’re on the tour bus it can be a bit tough because Luke feels like you should sleep with Ash because you and Ash were the original couple so you and Ashton have to assure him that you’re both cool with you sleeping in his bunk sometimes too
-Luke never wants to over step and it takes a lot of assurance for him to realize that the three of you are equal in the relationship and that it’s an actual relationship and not just you and Ash letting Luke join sometimes
-this is super weird to mention but like… Ashton lets Luke cum in you instead of on you and for some odd reason that shows Luke that he’s in the relationship?
-you and Ash have already said i love you because you’ve been dating a while and the both of you have been best buds for ages with Luke so you’ve both definitely said ‘love you’ to him before
-you tell Luke you love him one morning when the two of you are cuddling and Ash is still asleep and he melts, saying it back immediately
-fans notice the three of you out and about together more often
-but most are just like “Luke and Y/N are great friends so it makes sense.” which, like, valid
-but then a pap gets a shot of you kissing Luke in a diner while Ash was in the bathroom and fans went wild
-the first instinct was that you are cheating. which is not great.
-so the three of you all decide to clear that up as soon as you can
-Cal and Michael are baes so they send the three of you all the pictures they have of you three, some of which were from when you were just friends with Luke but those are super cute pics too
-you post a picture of each of them kissing your cheek, taken backstage a few days before, with the caption: “two love bugs are better than one.”
-Ashton posts a picture from his house party before you went on tour, the three of you in the kitchen making cocktails together, with the caption: “couples who make cocktails together, stay together.”
-and Luke gets a picture of the three of you walking through a venue, each boy with a hand in your back pocket, with the caption: “one happy girl//two happy guys.”
-#Lashton blows up on twitter
-so Ash is the main dom
-Luke can dom but he still falls under Ashton’s power control
-you the sub bbg
-we all know Ash is super into being a dom (daddy or sir whatever you’re comfy with) and spanking and choking
-but Luke has a huge thing for over stimulation?
-and that boy knows how to use his tongue
-Ash usually tells Luke to get you ready for them
-lube. in your purse. at all times.
-Ashton’s the ass man. i’ve said it in so many Ash posts. but i stand by this assessment
-group hugs with these golden boys
-a super dirty group chat
-they love carrying you too, like one of them is always throwing you over their shoulder
-the sexiest dirty dancing when you go to clubs together
-the tour ends and you all head back to LA and Luke’s afraid something’s going to change… but it doesnt
-you and Ash show up at Luke’s place to go for walks with him and Petunia
-spending most days at one of their houses just lounging around and loving each other
-cute videos of you, Ash and Petunia all over Luke’s insta
-going for drives with you in the back of the car so you can lean forward and play with your boys hair
-being with them while they make music
-you definitely are their muse
-Ashton taking so many pictures of you and Luke dancing and being cute with you in a button up or Luke holding Petunia
-this is just such a cute triad
-like last time i wrote about this triad here i nearly died

Hi! Thank you for answering my question! Okay so, I was wondering how the Us! And ut! Bros would react to having a friend/so/crush who is a medium and every now and then looks over the skellies shoulder and squints, when they ask why reader says that they see a man in a black cloak following them and explains that he isn't dangerous, but is actually a gaurdian? Thank you ily so much! Sorry if I broke any rules, also mediums are people who see ghosts, jnc you were confused 😅
You’re welcome, and nope, you’re still well within the rules, but thank you for abiding by them! It is much appreciated! And I think most of us here know who the black cloaked man is ;) 
UT Sans/Vanilla: No matter what sort of thing you do, there’s always an aspect of you that he finds to be really cool. The fact that you say you can see ghosts is something that’s not terribly uncommon in the Underground (Hi Napstablook) but up on the Surface it is much different from what he’s gathered. The humans up here can’t do that, but every now and then, you point out a small space where a ghost is sitting or trying to do something. Sometimes it makes you laugh a little, particularly if the ghost is trying to be a goof to others, and sometimes you get sad because the ghost may be trying to reconnect with family who can’t see them. Vanilla’s always found it interesting, but the day that you look past his shoulder and put on what he calls “the face”, he knows something’s up. When you tell him it’s a man in a black cloak, he visibly tenses and his eye lights vanish for a moment. When you explain that the ghost is acting as a guardian over him however, he relaxes, if only a little bit. It’s still really unnerving for him to have… him following his every move whether he’s being protective or not, but Vanilla will continue about his day as if it’s mostly normal. He will ask you more details about this ghostly figure, oddly enough about the hands, and you can do your best to give more descriptions.
“heh, guess i’m just worried that they’ll ghost on me and then i’ll be left on my own for protection. any chance you can talk to them and hear what they’re saying?”
“No? I mean, they can hear us, but any response they make is lost on me, why?”
“…just curious.”
UT Papyrus/Creampuff: When you tell this boi that you can see ghosts, he instantly wants to know all about it. He’ll ask you twenty questions in the span of three minutes and want to see ghosts for himself, but the fact that you can’t spread the power over disheartens him a little. He’ll settle for having you point out the space where a ghost is so that he can try to chat with them, even if they can’t really say anything back to him. Creampuff will make an active effort to try and get to every single one of the ghosts you see, so if you see them often, maybe keep your mouth shut for a little bit, or be selective for the time being. If you end up getting saddened by a ghost who’s pleading with a family member to see them, which you can recognize by posture alone, he’ll give you some comforting and try to bring you back later if they’re still there so you both can try to help them pass peacefully or give them something. At the mention of a black-cloaked ghost that follows him around, Creampuff goes oddly quiet, a look of confused pondering on his face. You’re likely to misinterpret that as him not hearing you correctly, and you inform him that the ghost is friendly and actually helping him in its own way, but the look remains. Eventually, he’ll shake it off, and chatter happily to the ghost for a few minutes, even though now he’s a little off kilter. 
“OH! CAN WE TAKE THE GHOST HOME WITH US SO THAT HE CAN STAY AND TRY SOME OF MY FAVORITE SPAGHETTI?”
“I think they’re just going to follow you anyways, so why don’t we go ahead and keep going so that you can make the spaghetti?”
“A BRILLIANT IDEA! COME WITH US PLEASE MR. GHOST!”
US Sans/Blue: Once you mention that you can see ghosts to him, Blue actually takes a small step away from you. He’s none too keen on horror movies, or ghosts, or anything of that nature, so he’s a little apprehensive of the fact that you can see something he can’t. It takes a little while to explain that you don’t attract them wherever you go, but you simply see them where they are, and then he’ll relax. He begins to ask you questions about how you gained this power in the first place, then about what sorts of ghosts you can see and other things. He starts to get over his little phobia of ghosts gradually the more he hangs out with you, and will actively start trying to look for signs of ghost activity as well. Upon pointing out that he has a dark, shadowy ghost trailing him however, he leaps about a foot in the air and hides behind you for protection, whether he’s taller than you or not. After you explain they aren’t necessarily dangerous or a threat, and instead are keeping him safe, Blue will look at you with starry eyes and ask if they can talk to him. He has a wary look about his eyes, almost like he knows something about this ghost in particular, but is choosing not to say anything about it. You don’t pry about it, but sometimes you can swear that you hear him talking to the ghost quietly in tones that are… less than happy, though he never does it when he thinks you’re around.
“WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING AS OF RIGHT NOW? ARE THEY STILL FOLLOWING ME AROUND?”
“Blue, ghosts don’t feel physical exhaustion, the fact that you’ve run ten laps by now means nothing to them.”
“MWEH! I’LL HAVE TO TRY HARDER THEN! ON TO LAP TWENTY!!”
US Papyrus/Stretch: Much like Vanilla, he thinks it’s pretty cool that you can do something naturally that most humans can’t do. He’s one to make a ton of puns about it, prodding you gently every time that he thinks he’ll get you to see a ghost. He can read your body language well enough that if you start to see a ghost, he knows about it before you even turn to tell him. You question whether he can see the ghosts too, but he’s quick to make sure that you know better than that. Regardless, he’s there as a moral support kind of person, watching to see if you’ll need to decompress after seeing a particularly saddening ghost pass by. On the flip side, Stretch is the first one you go and tell when you see a prankster ghost, making sure that he gets a good chuckle out of it. The second that you tell him he has a ghost trailing him, his expression drops into something almost mournful and upset. You hastily tell him that the ghost is trying to be friendly, but that doesn’t seem to lighten the mood, instead making him seem all the more upset. The next day he’s back to normal, or so it seems, but he’s a lot more curious about the ghost than he was when he first heard from you about them. There’s a small yes/no question system with you telling him how the ghost responds visually, which seems to make him feel better.
“thanks kiddo, you’ve done a really good favor for me by letting me chat with our pal here. guess you could say it really lifted my spirits.”
“The ghost is leaving the room now, and they’re giving you- Wow rude, double thumbs down for that pun.”
“eh, not all of them can be winners, and i bet those kind of jokes go right through him.”

GET TO KNOW THE BLOGGER.
Can be used for RP and non-RP blogs to get to know a bit about the person behind the screen!
1. FIRST NAME:  No.
2. STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: Never broken a bone, uh... I dunno, I’m super simple and unexciting.
3. TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON:  It’s all in the voice for me. I’ve noticed that I usually grow to like things about people, person to person. A nice smile is also a big plus? But ultimately if I don’t like your voice... that’s a deal breaker.
4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF:  Garbanzo beans.
5. A FOOD YOU HATE: Eggplants, mushrooms, anything too tart that hurts my teeth.
6. GUILTY PLEASURE:  this blog? imagining hugging my muses? idk.
7. WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN:  ...whatever shirt I wore that day and usually pajama bottoms. I have one with penguins on it and one with holiday cacti.
8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS:  I used to be super serious about serious relationships, but... Well, I’m kind of over all of it. Nothing is better. That said, I also kind of crush on everyone I meet a little bit, but that’s a separate issue.
9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE: I’d just give myself some advice: Ease up. You don’t need to be ‘good’ all the time or ‘perfect’. The rest... I can’t change the rest. There’s a lot of things that could have made things better, but they would involve changing what others did and that’s no good. I can only do better from here on out. I wish I’d learn to hold my tongue a bit more, I guess, and maybe be a little less trusting instead of getting emotionally screwed over.
10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON: Extremely if I like you and otherwise not at all. I’m really bad at grand gestures or presents or sending flowers or those kinds of things and really good at little things like bringing someone water or getting them a blanket or checking in on them and so on. Lately I don’t really feel as affectionate but... it’s something that builds up with comfort, I guess. I’m pretty open about telling people that I love them platonically, though I guess I also do that less nowadays too. Oh and I like calling people dear / hun, but only recently realized that oops that might be harassment. Well crap.
Uh...I guess I’m a lot less affectionate than I used to be.
11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN: I find it really hard to watch anything twice nowadays, but I used to watch Lion King & Mulan a bunch.
12. FAVORITE BOOK: -
13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE: Penguins are cool. I’m not an animal person though.
14. TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS [IF YOU ARE AN RP BLOG, YOU CAN USE YOUR OWN SHIPS AS WELL]: Let me just push my rarepairs forward I guess? That’s about the long and short of it. I feel like as both an Ori and Sona blog, my ships seem uncommon for my muses. I’m pretty easy to talk into a ship though, but I guess TryndxAshe still does it for me. I feel like I don’t like a lot of ships that people do like, but to each their own, you know? I’ve no business bashing on someone else’s Sona ship much like other people have no business calling Sona the village bicycle. I’m still angry about that. Still. I don’t even remember who said it in the RP community but honestly fuck that guy.
15. PIE OR CAKE:  Pie, cake if there’s less frosting.
16. FAVORITE SCENT:  Whatever the shampoo smell is, it’s nice. Fluffy.
17. CELEBRITY CRUSH:  bros it’s Paul Rudd this is like the only celebrity I’ve ever gone ‘oh... oh damn.’ for. Otherwise, nah - never really got into that celeb crush culture.
18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO:  - 
19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT:  Introvert.
20. DO YOU SCARE EASILY:  Extremely.
21. IPHONE OR ANDROID:  why not both
22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES: Yuppers, when I have a little time after work. I stream though so if I’m gaming it’s usually during stream time.
23. DREAM JOB:  idk, everything I want to do is too cuthroat/competitive. I used to want to make games / do voice acting and now I’m working my way through learning illustration / story narration.
24. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS: Pay off my parent’s mortgage, save most of it, retirement fund, and then go back to being extra boring but this time with a security blanket.
25. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE:  I do not like Sy/las. That’s who springs to mind though I’m sure I can look at other characters and go ‘eeeeh’. I’ve also grown to like many characters I once didn’t so.
26. FANDOM THAT YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF BUT AREN’T ANY LONGER: Uuuuuuuuh... Log Horizon? I’ve always kind of been a big believer that you shouldn’t have to know anything except the ‘basic premise’ to RP in a fandom, so I’ve kind of drifted through whatever.

at last, beth, the triad is complete
gay lawyers
Kevin Punt was an asshole. Violent. Angry. Sadistic.
You know, an asshole.
When Nelson and Murdock put him away for a few years, Foggy started resting a bit easier. Not much, because, well. Drop in the ocean. And. Well. Crime fighting partner with a masochistic streak. And. W e l l.
He didn’t sleep much.
But he slept better after locking Kevin Punt behind bars.
So when his parole hearing came up, he and Matt were quick to retake the case. The evidence was irrefutable, and the last thing they wanted was a monster like him back on the streets. 
Kevin Punt’s family was, to say the least, not pleased.
“Ma’am,” Matt interjected in his best ‘I am a sexy blind lawyer, please give me your attention and listen to me and maybe take your shirt off if you want haha just kidding but seriously listen to me’ voice (although that may just be Foggy’s interpretation). “I’m sorry you have to go through this again. But the fact of the matter is, your cousin was guilty. No one wants to face their family members’ dark side, but in Mr. Punt’s case, his violent tendencies and criminal persuasions make him a danger to the public.”
“My cousin,” the young woman hissed back, tears burning in her eyes like rage, “Was innocent. You’re liars. You’re as corrupt as everyone else in this damn city!”
“Hey,” Foggy began, “I know it’s hard to hear-”
His frankly very soothing tone apparently did not work. It was possible his frustration was poking through.
“He’s innocent! He would never hurt anyone, he’s just confused!”
“Sure,” Matt sighed, exhausted, “He didn’t commit egregious acts of violence. He just stumbled into that store owner with a baseball bat. Multiple times.”
“That’s unsubstantiated!”
“There was VIDEO!”
“Doctored evidence!”
“Miss Punt,” Matt broke through, a hint of his alter ego breaking through the thin veneer of civility, “I offer my condolences again. One can’t choose their relatives, and I admire your support. But I’m going to have to insist you leave.”
She stiffened.
“Fine,” she snapped, “But we’ll see how you silver-tongued lawyers do in court when the truth comes out.”
“Pretty sure we’ll rock it, ok, thanks for coming in! Bye!” Foggy watched as she stormed out the door. “Aaaaand she’s gone. Jesus, the whackadoo apple must consist of the whole family tree.”
Matt hummed.
“It was a little weird though, wasn’t it?”
“What?”
“What she said. That last bit.”
Foggy shrugged.
“You didn’t see it, but she had desperate written all over her. She’s just another grieving family member with false hope. Sad, but not exactly uncommon. I expected her to say fake news next.”
Matt stared at the door, considering.
“Yeah,” he muttered.
“Anyway, are you hungry? I could murder some pad thai.”
Matt snorted, and the daily lunch argument began. The strange encounter soon fled to the back of his mind.
For the moment.
-
When Matt came in for work the next morning, his body was still sore from a relatively painful night. Not too much activity, with his reputation, but it just meant the people who were out and about were more prepared than usual. The armor could only do so much against a taser. Still, the ache was good. It was the ache of a job well done, an ache that saved lives. He took a quiet pride in it, in what his body could do. That said, the day would look much better after a cup of coffee.
“Wow,” Foggy remarked fondly, “You look like hell.”
Matt groaned.
“Do you ever get sick of making that pun?”
“Nah,” he said, “It feels fresh every time. Besides, you like the puns.”
“No, they’re childish and lame,” Matt says. 
This is not what comes out of Matt’s mouth.
“Yes, the teasing is a comforting reminder of how far we’ve come since you first discovered my vigilantism. I was afraid of losing you, and the fact that we can now openly joke about it is reassuring.”
Foggy stared, cup halfway to his mouth.
“Uh. Wow, buddy. Thanks for the. Honesty?”
Matt frowned.
“That’s. Not what I meant to say.”
“No, don’t wig out now. It’s kinda refreshing, not having to guess what you’re thinking.”
“Yeah,” Matt said dubiously, “I keep a lot of things private from you because I fear for your safety, and I know it frustrates you but I’m not willing to put you in harm’s way for my own sake.”
Matt glared down at his hands. Foggy’s eyes widened in shock.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Matt’s eyes snapped up.
“Foggy.”
“Matthew,”
“Lie to me.”
Foggy stood up, leaning over his desk.
“What’s that?”
“Lie to me. Something’s wrong. I need to make sure it’s just me.”
He could feel Foggy look him over.
“You look the same, pal. And by that I mean extremely attractive.”
Foggy breathed in sharply. Matt smirked.
“Let me guess.”
“I didn’t mean to say that!”
“Foggy. Something is very wrong.”
“I stole your pillow in college because it smelled like you and it helped me fall asleep!”
“Fog, I. You. Jesus, Foggy!”
“I need to leave right now immediately.”
Before he could stop him, his partner had grabbed his jacket and was out the door.
“Wait!” he called out. But Foggy was already gone.
-
Danny hummed thoughtfully over the phone, staring in consideration at the paper in front of him.
“Well, it’s a good thing you called me.”
Matt sighed.
“I couldn’t think of anyone else, and if I could have I would have called literally anyone else.”
“Hey!”
“Rand, I can’t help it! I’m compelled to honesty!”
“Doesn’t mean you have to be a jerk. Well, more of a jerk than usual.”
Matt grit his teeth.
“You’re a man with the heart of a child and the power of at least a MINOR god, I don’t think you’re very responsible and quite frankly while I’m very proud of the strides you’ve taken with your company and wouldn’t want it in any other hands I’m morally opposed to billionaires.”
Danny nodded, beginning to fold creases into the paper.
“Yeah, sounds like a truth spell buddy. You piss off any witches?”
“None that I know of.”
Danny shrugged.
“I just shrugged.”
“I could hear it.”
“You can hear shrugs?”
“Danny.”
“Look, best I can say is let it runs it’s course. These type of things are meant to teach us lessons.”
“I don’t have time for zen bullshit!”
“Sure, Catholic. Also tampering with the spell might make it permanent. Which.”
“Fuck.”
“Have fun saying your Hail Mary’s for that.”
“Good bye, Daniel.”
“Bye, Matt!”
He waited for the click before presenting the table with a perfectly folded paper football.
“You ready for this, Luke?”
“Oh, I was born ready.”
-
“Foggy,” Matt’s phone politely informed him. “Foggy. Foggy. Fo-”
“Answer,” he snapped.
“It’s a truth spell!” Foggy blurted.
“Yeah, I know. I talked to Danny.”
“Rand? Really?”
“He was on a magical temple for most of his life. How did you figure it out?”
“I just asked Stephen Strange.”
“What?”
“I’m his lawyer. And I never grumble at him, so he likes me better.”
“What did Strange have to say?”
“He said it would probably run about a week, and if he tampered with it it might become permanent.”
“Sounds about the same.”
“You know who did this, right?”
“Punt.”
Foggy growled.
“I am getting really sick of that family, Matt.”
“It’ll be over soon.”
“This is going to make working on the case hell.”
“Why?”
“Because now I have to actively resist telling everyone I know that you’re Daredevil. And I have to actively resist telling you that I-”
The dial tone clicked.
Foggy had apparently found a loophole.
-
It was awkward. They both left the room multiple times. Matt didn’t know what Foggy was keeping secret, but he sure as hell wasn’t about to admit he was in love with him. Even if it was obvious to everyone else.
“You know,” Foggy remarked over noodles, “This curse sucks, but like. It kinda evens the playing field.”
Matt quirked an eyebrow.
“Well, I mean. You can tell I’m lying whenever you want. But. Now I know for sure you’re not lying to me, either.”
“I’m sorry I hurt your trust enough that you worry about that.”
“I’m sorry you felt you couldn’t trust me.”
“I didn’t want to put you in harm’s way.”
“I’d put myself in harm’s way for you any day. We’re bros.”
Matt bit his tongue.
“Matt?”
Matt bit harder.
“Matt, what the fuck your mouth is bleeding! What’s going on?”
“I’m trying to keep things to myself,” he grunted, hoarse.
“Jesus, Matt, do I need to leave?”
“I never want you to leave.”
“What?”
“I never want you to leave.”
Foggy paused, wheeling the chair around the desk to be knee to knee with him. He radiated caution.
“Well. I never want to have to leave you, buddy.”
“I don’t,” Matt choked out, throat closing from the strain of keeping the words down, “Want to be your buddy.”
Foggy smelled hurt.
“What?”
“Foggy. I don’t just want to be your buddy.”
Foggy gulped.
“I’ve been trying really hard, here, Matty.”
“I know.”
“I don’t. Want to misunderstand. But it hurts to not say what I want to say. What I’ve always wanted to say. And I don’t. I don’t want to say it, if you’re. If you’re not gonna say it back. Not gonna feel it back.”
“Foggy,” Matt whispered.
“Matt.”
“I knew you took my pillow.”
“I know you knew.”
“I never asked to switch back.”
“No, you didn’t.”
Foggy’s hand shook as it reached forward and rested on Matt’s. His skin nearly screamed at the sensation, aching all over from the long time sense he had last been touched like this. Carefully. As if he were fragile. As if he could break.
“Foggy,” he breathed.
“I really want to kiss you,” he admitted, half hope and half rue.
“I’ve wanted you to kiss me for almost 7 years.”
“Well,” Foggy leaned in, “Better late than never.”
It was soft, and firm, and a little wet. It was an everyday, normal, average kiss.
Matt lit up everywhere like an electric panel, gasping as the sensation washed over him. Gripping his hair, he pulled Foggy in deeper, opening his mouth in an attempt to steal back his breath.
“I love you,” he whispered into his mouth, “I think I might have loved you my entire life. I just didn’t know it yet.”
Foggy’s hands tightened around his thighs.
“I love you too. I’ve loved you since we first met. I’ve loved you for so long I don’t know how not to love you.”
“Don’t learn,” Matt hissed, fierce. “Don’t learn how. If you left I’d be lost.”
“Don’t worry, Matty,” Foggy laughed, pulling him in closer by his tie, “You’re the fast learner.”
-
The trial wasn’t very long. They presented the evidence, spoke of the victim’s family, mentioned his irrational behavior, spoke of the personal threats they’d received in the mail. 
Every word of it was honest and true.
Kevin Punt did not receive parole.
His cousin stood in the audience, crying as he was taken away, screaming threats.
“It’s true,” she whispered. “He really did those terrible things.”
Foggy lay a comforting hand on her elbow.
“I’m sorry you had to find out this way.”
She nodded, sniffling.
“Also, you’re a bitch for placing that spell on us.”
She stiffened, before sighing and nodding again.
“I just wanted him to have every chance.”
Foggy squeezed her elbow and left.
“I guess I deserved that. You make someone speak truth, he’ll call you a bitch.”
“Oh, he would have called you that anyway.”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah, he doesn’t like it when his privacy is invaded. I should know, I’m Da-”
“MATT. I need you to come take me home until this thing wears off!”
Matt turned towards the door.
“Be right there, sweetheart.”
He offered his arm to the woman.
“Thank you.”
“For what? I need you to lead me to my partner.”
“Oh! Right, I’m sorry.”
“Not a problem.”
Bitch, he added silently.
“We’re going to have victory sex after this,” he added.
“The spell wore off after the hearing!”
“I know,” he was giddy, “I just wanted everyone to know. I’m a very lucky man.”
“That you are, Matt,” Foggy took his arm from the stricken woman and gave his hand a squeeze. “That you are.”
“Did you just wink at me?”
“Yup.”
“Good.”
There were some benefits to honesty.
