Omg u do match ups? Is it alright if I ask for an inside job one? ;;;
Bisexual, 5’3, long straight hair, my natural color is black but I dye my hair a brownish hair, big eyes and slightly thick lips, skinny with long legs. Obsessed with horror things, wears mostly dark clothes but can do a 180 sometimes and wear lots of pastel and light colors. Regardless, almost always I’ll be wearing heels. Calm and a bit shy at first but when comfortable can be considered the “life of the party”, so something of an introvert/extrovert(?) there was a specific word for that but I can remember hahshhabdj Very passionate and talks a lot and can be loud when talking about the things I love
(Neutral prns r ok nvn)
A/N: I'm so sorry Anon!!! I accidentally published your matchup when I was writing it, sorry about that :,) Anyway! Hope you enjoy! I did two matchups for you because I feel like one wasn't enough in your case!
I'd match you with....
Reagan!
How you and Reagan are so close is probably news to her, she probably doesn't get right away why she's so into you. She does like that you're not loud all the time, and she also loves horror. I feel like Reagan's favorite genre of movies/tvs/etc would probably be horror, I think she'd think it's cool. Or she'd try to complain about how it's cringe, there's a 50/50. The main reason she'd really connect with you is that she likes hearing you talk about the things you are passionate about. It reminds her about her work, and how important it is to her. She would listen to you ramble about any of your likes/hobbies whenever.
Andre!
He wouldn't mind how quiet you are at first, as he's really decent about getting people to warm up to him. When he gets to know you, he realizes that you're pretty interesting and that he likes hanging around you. He WILL get you to try to party with him and/or Myc. You can turn him down, he'll understand but he might leave that party to then hang with you. Like Reagan he really likes it when you talk about how passionate you are at things, he'll make mental notes to get you things or do things that correspond with the things you enjoy later on.

Arrangements - Leeteuk
Tumblr media
Anon said: So, could I request a scenario or headcanon (you choose) of mafia!Leeteuk? He and his s/o are in an arranged marriage and he falls hard for her. She initially has no interest but starts to warm up to him and eventually falls for him too. (Who wouldn't fall for Leeteuk?) Sorry if it's a little specific.
Pairing: Leeteuk x fem!reader. Mafia AU. I did a scenario oops.
Word count: 1,404.
Warning: maybe suggestive things.
A/N: So here it is! Don't worry about specific things, anon, I loved this one and I love details. I hope you like it. nvn Some angst and fluff.
MASTERLIST
-
Taking the teapot with your hands, you poured the hot water on your cup. The house was in complete silence that evening and you used to avoid your husband since that day, since your wedding ceremony.
With the cup in your hands, you took a seat on the table to sip the tea alone and quiet. You wanted peace, and wanted to be left alone. Leeteuk was one of the most dangerous mafia bosses in the area, if not the most dangerous amongst all of them.
And your father, who also ran in this business decided it was a good idea to trade you for him, so now they would work together. At some point, you felt like you've been thrown like an amulet to relay their loyalty to him.
You were used to this world, but you didn't expect to be involved with one of them, certainly being his wife wasn't something that crossed your mind. It never did. You remembered when you met him, he was just a few years older than you, he always had this kind appearance and a smile that would melt anyone, but he was harsh.
His mob was dark and threatening. They could go from just a simple threat to make the worst murders you've ever heard of, which sometimes it was scary as fuck. You learnt to live in this world, but you doubted yourself that you could get used to his presence, you couldn't call him your husband. You thought you never would. And it was difficult since he showed to be so fond of you.
You finished your tea and placed the cup on the dish washer for later. The man that was your husband now walked out, for a moment you locked your eyes with his bright ones. Quickly you managed to not see him directly. He was as handsome as always, with his impeccable suit, but it didn't mean that you actually liked him in any other way even after three months of marriage.
"I have to leave," he announced, walking towards you. "I have to meet with some members, I'll be back later."
You nodded at him shyly. Still you couldn't reach his gaze.
"Would you be fine?"
"Yes, don't worry," you mumbled.
Leeteuk sighed. You didn't know how to interpret that, maybe he wanted to see if your feelings had grown for him. You felt his fingers drawing patterns on your night robe gently.
"Take care, and sleep well."
Leeteuk kissed your forehead sweetly and then left. At this point, you were used to his sudden affection. The heat spreaded on your cheeks after, it was a new reaction coming from you. You decided that it was better to comply and sleep now, maybe you were crazy.
-
Some days have passed. Leeteuk knew that you didn't like him in the way he expected, but he really enjoyed your company and made sure that you knew this since the first day you both knew you were getting married.
He always tried to be a gentleman, putting you first besides everything. He had a huge respect for your father and your family, so he knew it was important to take care of you so delicately. Growing up with the mafia helped you to get how the business worked, and sometimes you also had the final word in some tasks.
He fell for you. Hard. And he tried to do anything to let you know how much he loved you and appreciated your presence. In those months he never had a single sign of affection from you, except one time when you had given up on him and ended up sleeping together. But that was it and it never happened again, not a proper kiss, not a touch, nothing.
For you it felt awkward at first, but you managed to live with it somehow. Leeteuk was actually surprised that after that, you let him kiss you on your forehead or on the cheek everytime he would leave home before you did. He also worked hard for you to be comfortable, he would pamper you with food, clothes or small things that you liked, even words that slowly sinked into your heart.
And now you were having dinner together, completely in silence. Your father was at the head of the table, some of Leeteuk's members along with your father's gang gathered in the restaurant too. From time to time he would ask your husband how everything was going, but you didn’t really pay attention. Finally, the meeting was over.
“I hope you’re doing well,” your father approached you before you could leave, taking your hands in his. “Is he treating you right?”
Your eyes wandered on the room to find him, talking with some of his mates. Still it was unbelievable that you were married.
“Yes, he is a great man,” you smiled.
“He likes you a lot, you know.”
“I think it would be another different situation if our marriage wasn’t planned...”
You heard your father chuckling at your words, making you see him again.
“Give him a chance,” he begged. “Please. He's good for the business... and for you.”
With a sigh and a smile, you palmed your father’s hands.
“I’ll try.”
-
The ride was silent after the meal. Leeteuk parked the car outside, and instead of going out, he stayed there with you, you noticed his grip on the wheel was hard. 
“Are you okay?” you asked in a soft tone.
“Yes, I’m sorry,” he smiled at you. You both removed your seat belts. “Can I ask you something?”
“You’re doing it right now,” you joked. He chuckled, you noticed how much you liked to hear that sound.
“Yeah, I was just wondering. Do you really like me?” Leeteuk’s eyes locked on yours.
You were speechless for a moment. You liked him, but you still couldn’t figure if you loved him. Sometimes he made your heart flutter at small actions, like his short, but sweet kisses or how much he worried about you sometimes. Most of the time you found out his gifts were cute, but his attention was really from other world. No one threated you like that in your life, Leeteuk was the first one to do that.
“I do...”
“But?”
You bit your lip, he was scanning your emotions. His gaze wasn’t leaving your beautiful face soon.
"I can't figure if I love you like you love me," you whispered. You avoided his gaze, fearing that you might break his heart.
"Y/N," he called. His hand touched your cheek softly and turned you so you could see him. "It's okay, if you just give me a chance you should know it."
There was nothing, but honesty in his eyes. You nodded, feeling the heat now on your face. Leeteuk leaned to you slowly and you wondered for a moment if you should let him do it, but it was stupid. It was just a kiss. And you didn't expect his gesture to be so passionate when his lips connected with yours.
His hand moved to the back of your neck, deepening the kiss; your hand traveled to his chest and grabbed his shirt to pull him closer to you. It was sweet, but full of yearning. Like some made click inside you, you found yourself not being able to break the kiss. Because you liked him, you loved him despite how you two bonded. This was your present and your future from now.
A small groan left his mouth and finally Leeteuk pulled away from you to get some air. His cheeks were a little red, you chuckled.
"Did you figure it out?"
"Yes... I think I love you," a smile appeared on your lips.
"I love you too," he said. "But I guess you already know that."
"I do, more than ever," you tried to compose yourself on the seat. "So thank you. For everything."
Leeteuk remained silent.
"Because you took care of me these past months."
He reached your hand and took it steadily. Now his touch made you shiver and feel actually loved.
"I'll do it forever."
This time you reached his lips for a quick kiss before going out of the car, for him to take your hand with his and walking together to your house with a smile on your face. At least your marriage was turning around for good reasons.

❤ simplyfantrolls, shenktrolls, sleepytrolls, asks-n-trolls, hambinhotel, vaporwave-trolls, ghostytrolls, lyntho-trolls, servasfroste, fantroll-ikea, terratrolls, LITERALLY anyone else you feel like deserves some positivity in their lives bro
OOOOOOOOOOH BOY
this might be a long one .w.
OKAY
--
@simplyfantrolls OKAY, I will be honest that I actually have never actually talked to them before but I have been following them for... a good while? I don’t remember when I started following them. usually when I discover someone new, I follow them and hoping one day I get to interact with them. if not, then I just admire them from afar uwu
and that’s pretty much generally the latter! I think they’re pretty neat whenever they come up on my dash and have very intriguing characters!
@shenktrolls very, VERY good friend! and I’m SORRY OMG. I’m very sorry you all have to deal with me for a certain amount of reasons ;w;
but anyway, they are great and a very good and nice friend with amazing characters! they are very kind so PLEASE go talk to them! get to know them! they’re nice ouo
@asks-n-trolls this is pretty much the same situation like the first one. I think I just started following them because of their interesting characters and I have been admiring them whenever they come up on my dash! I also haven’t interacted with them but I’m just gonna guess that they are nice and kind! owo
@sleepytrolls OH! THEM! I absolutely LOVE seeing them on my dash and they AMAZING CHARACTERS! (I really love them ;w;) they are also very nice from what I have seen. funny thing: I didn’t know they did their own art until one time because I usually see their characters and all of them have different styles from others until I finally saw their own art and I was literally like “WOAH. HOLY SH**************!” anyway they are cool and nice and everything that’s all uwu
@hambinhotel I JUST... followed them ;w;
BUT that doesn’t mean ya’ll shouldn’t! seriously. go follow them. give them ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT! please do that! I’m just saying this because, again, I just recently followed them so I don’t them yet or get a real good idea on how they’re like. so I’m gonna assume that they are nice and awesome and that’s final uvu
@vaporwave-trolls FOLLOW THEM. they are awesome and have a very unique art style! pretty much the one I see that stands out a whole lot whenever it comes up and I love seeing it. they are also really awesome, from what I seen! ;o;
because I have never talked to a lot of these people, I’m just basically speaking from what I generally see when conversations from these people come up or I just get bored and lurk around people’s blogs sometimes .w.;;;
but still follow them! they’re awesome! c:
@ghostytrolls I have been following them for a good while! I’m pretty sure we interacted at least once or twice? IDK but I know that they are very nice from what I have seen nvn
go follow them, too! they also have very nice art and are kind! so please. go follow them! uwu (I just realized that I repeated this but I don’t care)
@servasfroste this is another one of those people where, I think, I interacted once and that’s about it. but I know, from what I have seen, that they are very nice uwu
I keep saying that a lot, I know. just generally calling like I see it. or at least assume! STILL. GO FOLLOW THEM
@fantroll-ikea THEY ARE ALSO VERY NICE. GO FOLLOW THEM. pretty much the same dealio lke the previous one. I follow a lot of people so this is the best I can do, and say when there’s so many and not wanting to sound like a broken record player .w.
GO FOLLOW THEM. THEY’RE AWESOME
@lyntho-trolls I just recently started following them and they have such an adorable character >w
and they are also very nice, from what I have seen. so PLEASE go follow them. they are an awesome individual c:
@terratrolls these are another one of those cases where I have never interacted with them (well, I have never interacted with 99.9% of people I follow.... .w.) but I can assume that they are very nice!
I feel like, to me maybe, that they come up out of nowhere sometimes :o
maybe it’s just me. IDK. it always feels that way or I just don’t pay attention on my dash that much. possibly it, more than likely uwu
GO FOLLOW THEM

❀DRAWN JANUARY 17, 2019❀
(this was my first art with lots of style changes! <3)
HELLO!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED AND SO PROUD AOIDSFJSODIGJDFIOGJ I THINK ... I DID IT ... I THINK ... I MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ... mostly SATISFIED ... FOR ONCE ... So anyway, do y'all remember this handy dandy journal I keep mentioning everywhere?~ Style changes But I'll just ... do a little repeat~ So basically ... So, I was looking through my old art and noticed some things ... though I've obviously improved a good deal, especially, I think, in regards to colouring skill and anatomy, I feel like there was something rather "different" about my art back then. Something unrelated to the technicalities, but more along the lines of my art style itself. Though my style has always looked relatively uniform (even up to about 7/8 years ago which by the way is a lot of my life), I've noticed a few things. First of all, I think my lineart has gotten thicker in recent months. I've been having to use sharpies and black markers more to clean up muddiness, which leads me to my second observation: I was bad at colouring back then and so I didn't really press down hard or blend that many colours, and therefore my art was actually more "pastel" and less vibrant. Though I think I've improved at colouring and would never stop blending, I do hate the vibrancy of my art, being honest (I feel like people think this is one of the only good things about my style tbh, whereas it's really just a property of the tools I'm using). Because my art was less dark in colour, it didn't look so muddy or require thick lineart. I also feel there was something different about the faces ... other than the facial anatomy mistakes XD And it seems more fluid to me. I think I had a wider variety of poses I liked to draw. So in this drawing, I not only tried my best to revive those aspects of my older style, but other people were telling me I need to make my art more dynamic and that my usual art is ... a bit on the boring side (I don't mean to say they meant it offensively, it's just what it is. Don't take it the wrong way  ), so I tried to spice it up a bit! (jeez ... that sentence was long XD) Anyway, I tried an art nouveau inspired background here (if you didn't know, my style is intended to be art nouveau + anime, and if you google this combination you'll see art that basically looks like I could have drawn it ) and I also DID A POSE FROM THE BACK. I'm ... embarrassingly bad ... like so bad you wouldn't want to see it ... at different angles and perspective in general so I'M PROUD, BITCHES, FOR ONCE I'M PROUD!!! I used a mild reference, but not too heavily. On to the actual art. This piece was a real challenge to do, and I think it paid off but I will be only sparingly doing full art like this. For one thing, I'll be soon getting bigger paper, so I might have to take photos ahg teach me how to do this instagram senpais ;v;, and it will be too huge to fill up. January is also busy for me so I won't have time to take on experiments (I have y'all's contest prizes to do nwn and by the way, I'll be having another contest on the 21st so be ready!!). This was a pretty time consuming piece. IT WAS HARD NOT TO SPAM THE SHARPIE SO I HAD TO BE CAREFUL WITH LINES QAQ I PRAY IT DOESN'T LOOK BUSY OR VIBRANT!!! PLEASE DON'T BE LIKE "OH VIBRANCY SENPAI, IT'S SO COLOURFUL!!!" X'D lmao it's supposed to be pastel and colourful, but not """vibrant""" ... I hope I accomplished this   Anywaaaaaaaaaaay, this character belongs to the AMAZING, GORGEOUS, TALENTED AND ULTRA NICE SIF-Y!!!! I'M SO HONOURED TO HAVE MET YOU AND TRADED WITH YOU!!! Nana's such a cute li;l boy oh goodness ;; v ;; I had fun here! Please note me your address so I can mail it to you, if you're still interested in receiving it nvn <3 Thank you all for viewing! ♥♥♥ IT MEANS A LOT ~

I wanna say something, for a long while i havnt felt like it was ok to like sonic. i used to collect the comics, figurines, even draw some. But people would judge my comic choice, hate on the games i loved, and generally question it.. so I started to think it wasn't ok to like what i liked. But I really liked scourge, so while browsing i was excited to see someone drawing him. So I followed you, and you've slowly brought back my love of sonic. So i wanted to say thank you. :)
aaaaaaaaa~ I’m glad I was able to achieve that for you with my silly doodles nvnhaha I even remember the reason why i had made so many flipnotes with Scourge in them on Hatena when that site was still running was so that I could show other people that he was a really cool & interesting twist on Sonic (and a bigger dork too >vo ), and it did work! .o.
and thank you for the follow, and I do hope you’ll be excited for the next chapter of the comic i’m working on involving Scourge & his world \ouo/

8 and 18 for the artist ask meme!
Thank you!!!! I half wasn’t expecting to get any Asks forthis, but I am pleasantly surprised!
I’m gonna go ahead and plop question 8 below the cut becauseit… got long… because I decided to cheat. >.
Feelfree to ask me more about my art~
18. What is yourpurpose for drawing?
Even when I was a kid, I have always drawn to illustrate theideas I had in my head either to go with a story I was writing or to tell astory in pictures. (Can you believe that once upon a time I also used to drawcomics? I still have them somewhere. ;;v;;) A few years ago, I made it my goalto draw every OC I ever created because I wanted to have the visuals to go withtheir stories. But since there are 300 and counting and I have so little energynow, the process became an endless cycle and I will forever be unable to catchup with my overactive imagination.
So, I guess what you can pluck out of that is that I draw asa creative outlet and to make myself happy. But I do hope that what I draw isable to make other people happy, too! So, if I can accomplish that, it makes mefeel even better that I can share this little joy with someone else~ nvn
Especially since lately I’ve mostly been drawing fanart ofrare ships. My art is usually highly self-indulgent is what I’m trying to say,but it brings me joy when I discover that there are other people who also sharemy interests and look forward to seeing my content.
8. What is yourfavourite piece that you have done?
Well, this is an unfair question because I have too manyfavorites to just pick one. But… I guess I’ll go through the stuff I’ve postedonline and link a few of them here instead of reposting them (because I am notin the mood to go through all of the art pieces I HAVEN’T posted just tophotograph and upload them… yet, anyway… but I may later if prompted). ^^
AKing Always Makes His Pretty Fool Dance is an old favorite because I drewit for a friend based on an idea from a roleplay we were doing with our OCs. Ihave such a great love for Magister and Smith because they have a really funand intimate dynamic that is great to portray~ I had an interesting time withthat piece particularly because there’s something so playful there about howthey’re sizing each other up and playing this game just to get closer. Theirentire story basically started with Magister challenging Smith to solve herriddles and it evolved into an intricate mind game that Smith quickly foundhimself addicted to (hence the title of the still unposted story being AnAccidental Addiction).
FriendOr Foe is another sketch illustrating a scene where two of my mer OCs meetfor the first time. Aleksander and Zane are so precious because it’s like thehappy socialite sunshine baby meets the always-on-edge-fight-to-survive lonertype and they find something they didn’t realize they were looking for in eachother. It’s very sweet but also angsty and that sketch gives me so many feelsbecause I love them. ;;v;;
I don’t really have as particular of a reason for likingthese next two aside from how much work I put into their character sheets. Daceyis such a cutiepie and despite the fact that there was a struggle to get hisdragon half to look good, I’m actually more proud of how soft his torso looksand how good the markings on his face turned out. The sheet for Brizalatook me so long to complete and the coloring!!! The reason I don’t color muchanymore is that it takes too much energy, but it looks really good here~ And Ialso just really like all the poses and how they illustrate different parts ofxyr story. >v
But anyway, enough of my OCs (even though I could and wouldgo on about them for ages if prompted) because the only thing I’m known forhere on Tumblr is fanart and I’m sure that’s what most people are expecting. XDI could say every single piece of Boueibu fanart in myart tag is my favorite, but… I’ll just pluck out a few.
Vanilla-ScentedAngel is definitely a personal favorite because of how nice the colors lookand I love the expressions on their faces~ They just look so happy and in love,and it’s very sweet and just how I wanted them to be. ^^ Arima’s smile, though…is the best part along with the rose, in my opinion.
The Kurotori/Munakata sketch I drew for TomorrowStarts Today is one of the most unexpectedly beautiful things I think I’vepersonally done (even though I was too lazy to finish drawing Kurotori’s hands//bricked) because they just look so good together. Similarly, I could say thesame for the Ichiban/Ryuusketches I drew for that series rewrite AU I’ve been planning. Iespecially love how the first one cameout because Ichiban ended up way more handsome than I had originally intended(though I’m not complaining) and the body language is just… so perfect for thedynamics I had in my head. And then I just wanted to mention my Kurotori/Gourasketches for The Darkest Night again because I will forever have too manyfeelings about them and something about those first two sketches makes mereally happy. I think it’s mostly their facial expressions and also how softthey look in the second picture that I really like.
And I’ll force myself to stop here because I pretty muchcheated on this question and didn’t particularly add any insight to thosesketches by talking about them either. //shot

Um hi, hope you don't mind but can you tell some back stories to your oc's? They look really interesting and good, no pressure tho! I was just wondering if they were all a part of a story. Also I wouldn't mind seeing more of your oc's, so good job!
sure! my ocs backstories are still in progress and they might change bc im still thinking of a way it could fit the story nvn;;;
sun hou- sun grew up with a very supporting and accepting family but in school, people always avoided them bc they thought that they were a freak. bc no one really accepted their identity--sun luckily, found mavery--who quickly became their best friend and later on started to hang out with cass.
mavery palomo- mavery--a filipina girl--grew up in a very religious family but she never enjoyed it and she was sometimes forced to meet boys she didn’t like. throughout the years, mavery discovered that she liked girls and suddenly fell for her close friend, pearl in high school. she confessed her love but knew that pearl was dating valor--so mavery gave up and started a new life with her friends, sun and cass.
cassian perfyt- his story is still in the works all i can tell you is that he lives with his single mother, yulia and he’s constantly stressed all the time.
valor cyneheard- also in the works!! valor has foster parents but his relationship with them is kinda strained.

A little rant: don’t diss those who don’t read music
Somebody wrote to me recently about how other choir members look down on them because they don’t read music. It made me very angry that this sort of thing is still happening. Their choir leader hands out sheet music for all the songs they learn (although recordings of parts are also made available). Some singers prefer to learn by ear and to listen attentively rather than having their eyes down on pieces of paper. They have chosen not to use sheet music (even though they are able to understand a fair amount of musical notation). Unfortunately, other choir members (and even their leader sometimes) make comments like “I don’t know how you manage just from lyrics!” There’s an implication that choosing not to to read music is somehow inferior. I’m amazed that this kind of prejudice is still around (I’m even more amazed that I still hear about children today being told to “Stand at the back and mime.”). The Natural Voice Network (NVN) was formed precisely to counter this kind of attitude. The idea that ‘proper’ music and choral singing is only available to those who can read music. The idea that it is an inevitable development to move from learning by ear to learning from sheet music. The idea that those who know about music theory are ‘better’ in some ways than those who ‘just’ sing for fun. And it’s not just singers. I even read a blog post the other day about choir leaders with no formal music education and how they shouldn’t be running choirs or charging money for workshops. Why is it so hard for some people to believe that singing and choir leading ability is not directly related to formal music training? There are brilliant (and awful) choir leaders (and singers), some of whom have a formal music training, and others who don’t. I had hoped that after 20 years of the NVN, and with so many and varied community choirs and singing opportunities here in the UK, that things had changed. Sadly no. My advice to the person who wrote to me was to use their learning by ear skills as an advantage. It is possible to feel sorry for those who have to rely on bits of paper to learn songs. It’s a shame that some people rely so much on their eyes rather than their ears when learning songs. It makes somebody very vulnerable when they have to depend on a piece of paper rather than their ears and memories. I’m amazed how people who usually learn songs from sheet music flounder in the workshops I run. They are very much outside their comfort zone at the start, but almost always feedback that it’s been both an educational and enjoyable experience. They wish their own choir did it more! Learning by ear has its own strengths which should be celebrated. If you learn from sheet music, please don’t think you are superior to those who choose to learn by ear. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Rant over. You might also be interested in these three posts: Singers who learn by ear vs. those who use sheet music – what happens when they swap?

Yes! So, could I request a scenario or headcanon (you choose) of mafia!Leeteuk? He and his s/o are in an arranged marriage and he falls hard for her. She initially has no interest but starts to warm up to him and eventually falls for him too. (Who wouldn't fall for Leeteuk?) Sorry if it's a little specific.
done, anon! nvn I made a scenario hahaha and don't worry about the details, I like that a lot, thanks for the request and I hope you like it!!! :> 💓💓💓

OH MY GOODNESS, THANK YOU SO MUCH I’M SO GLAD YOU ENJOY THEM!!!!! I HOPE YOU’RE HAVING A GREAT DAY, TOO!!!
There’s never any need to apologize for messaging me! I wholeheartedly accept messages with open arms! ;;w;; Actually, I wanted to thank you for your tags on my post about the chikuwabu, but I was too shy. >.
I do plan to write more analyses eventually when I have the energy and inspiration~ ^^ There is just. so. much. amazing stuff in this show to appreciate. So many details. >w
If there’s anything you particularly are curious about or any details you think would be interesting to take a closer look at about a certain character/scene/episode/season, feel free to request something from me~ I love hearing what other people find interesting and poking at it to see what I can get out of it. nvn
