love my coworkers but i’m convinced that 1-3 of them could possibly be part fish, maybe even some kind of freshwater mer-guy(s) because how else can three guys spend an entire 8-hour shift talking about fishing conditions. they were talking about the rain, the mud at the bottom of the lake, fish anatomy that was completely foreign to me, their latest fishing blunders/successes, one involving failure to catch a snapper, something about hiding treats IN the lake, no idea if they meant for fish feeding or their own consumption or how the hell that works, and then some complaints about other fishermen/fishmen in their favorite fishing places/potential living spaces.
#for real tho this conversation started at about 8am and lasted until 4pm when we closed up#and these are not middle-aged dudes living the fishing life#one of them is in high school and the others are like young twenties#honestly tho i really do enjoy catching parts of their fishing conversations#even tho i do not understand half of what they say#it is just very fascinating to me how much they can say about this topic#and really interesting how much you need to know about the local ecosystem#to be able to dedicate so much of a conversation to the weather and water conditions and wildlife status in the area#like you have to be paying a lot of attention to know things like how good the breeding season was in this one lake for one type of fish#also love hearing about really specialist knowledge in areas i'm ignorant#like all the different kinds of lures and baits and stuff. i know a midling amount just bc fishing is super big around here#and my dad and so many relatives really enjoy fishing and i've been fishing plenty of times#but still. tackle boxes are still filled with 80% shiny cool stuff i know nothing about#i really only have experience with live bait and then those shiny little basic rubber worms and squid-looking lures#really prefer the background noise of fishing conversation over sports talk also#that's like the other thing they discuss. nearly always either sports (no idea which one possibly multiple) or fishing#just really enjoy listening to people talk about stuff they all know way better than me#something about the appeal of an interesting and unfamiliar topic#whereas i am more likely to be bored or uninterested in hearing ppl talk about something i'm well-versed in#especially if it's something i clearly know way more about so all i can hear is very basic things i already knew#like yeah i'm familiar with that and i enjoy doing that in my free time but i'd prefer to overhear something new to me#also something something the active awareness that ppl are living full and vibrant lives in ways i can't understand#like 'wow your life is wildly different from mine but clearly still very interesting'

Deepest Desire 1-2
ทดลอง AI gen เรื่องแนว bodysuit ก็ต้องตามแก้เยอะเหมือนกัน AI มันคงงงเพราะเฉพาะทางเหลือเกิน ใครอ่านเอาสนุกอ่านจบแค่ chapter 3 ก็พอ ใครอยากอ่านเอาตอนจบแบบนิยายอ่านไปจนถึง chapter 5 ได้เลย
Chapter 1
The Tokyo streets buzzed with activity as people hurried about their daily lives, navigating around street performers and vendors selling everything from kitschy souvenirs to delicious treats. Amidst the chaotic melody of voices and car horns, Naoki stood motionless against a nearby wall, captivated by the sight of the teeming metropolis. For months now, he had studied every detail about Kaoru – his schedule, interests, friends, habits.
All these meticulous efforts were aimed solely at ensuring a chance encounter with the young ballplayer, if only to fulfill his wildest fantasies. And finally, tonight was the night when destiny would align their paths again.
Hunched over a counter at a dimly lit local bar, Kaoru nursed his drink thoughtfully. Though not usually one to frequent such establishments, there seemed to be something appealing about this particular spot – perhaps its vibrant atmosphere contrasted starkly with his monotonous routine.
As if drawn by an invisible force, Kaoru found himself returning time after time; it wasn’t long before Naoki recognized this pattern and began devising ways to position himself within striking distance of the unsuspecting youth. Tonight, however, fate intervened yet again; amidst a flurry of shuffling feet and clinking glasses, Kaoru suddenly locked gaze with someone who seemed utterly unfamiliar – albeit all too intriguing.
With furrowed brows and steely determination, Naoki approached the young athlete casually, feigning interest in the upcoming match season, hoping to draw out any information regarding Kaoru's lifestyle and routines. Over shared bottles of ale, they bonded effortlessly, discussing topics ranging from sports strategies to the latest blockbuster films. Unbeknownst to either party, sparks began to ignite beneath the surface.
As Naoki observed Kaoru's powerful presence and innate charm, feelings of envy and desire emerged in equal measure. It pained him to think that another individual might possess what he so desperately sought - acceptance into the world of professional athletics, while simultaneously acknowledging Kaoru's impenetrable exterior. However, this only served to fuel Naoki's curiosity even further, driving him towards a plan to exploit Kaoru's vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, unaware of the hidden agenda behind their budding friendship, Kaoru continued sharing stories about life in the limelight.
Tales of fame, fortune, and loyalty resonated deeply within Naoki, stirring up emotions of jealousy and yearning that threatened to consume him whole. Intrigued by the prospect of gaining entry into this exclusive club, Naoki couldn't help but devise a scheme, utilizing his knowledge of Kaoru's passions to weave a seductive web of temptation. Pushing aside any moral concerns, he concocted plans that could potentially grant him access to the world of professional sports while satisfying his own insatiable appetites.
As days turned into weeks, Naoki honed his skills as an observationalist, taking note of subtle nuances in Kaoru's behavior and adapting accordingly. Understanding that building trust required patience and genuine empathy, he carefully constructed opportunities to demonstrate his support for Kaoru's aspirations. Each interaction strengthened their bond and reinforced his grip upon the unsuspecting youth. With growing anticipation, he waited eagerly for his opportunity to make his move.
Chapter 2
Naoki walked briskly along the narrow alleys, his heart racing faster than ever. Despite knowing full well the potential danger, he felt invincible - driven by his singular focus on becoming more like Kaoru. With every step closer to the rendezvous point, the reality of acquiring the elusive skin suit drug intensified, sending waves of excitement coursing through his veins. As the sky slowly shifted to twilight, he reached the meeting place - an abandoned warehouse near the docks.
Its dilapidated walls whispered tales of forgotten glories, while rusty tools lay scattered among discarded scraps of fabric. Slipping inside, Naoki paused briefly to let his eyes adjust to the darkness enveloping the vast space. He fumbled with the keys in his pocket until finding the correct one. The door swung open silently, revealing an inner chamber illuminated by the faint glow of a single bare bulb hanging overhead. The air reeked of stale sweat and dust mites, amplifying the unease already simmering within Naoki.
But soon enough, the sound of footsteps drew his attention toward the entrance. Clad in a stylish black trench coat, the silhouette of The Dealer appeared, casting a menacing shadow against the backdrop of grimy brickwork.
"Well, well," spoke The Dealer, "you must be quite resourceful to find your way here." There was no trace of warmth in those words; instead, a coldness seeped through them like ice water.
Naoki managed a feeble smile, attempting to appear unfazed despite the chill running down his spine.
“It took some research,” he replied quietly, trying to mask his anxiety. “So you know why I am here.”
“Yes, yes…” The Dealer murmured, circling around Naoki like a predator studying its prey. “You seek my infamous Skin Suit Drug – legendary substance capable of transforming anyone into whatever they wish. Impressive.”
Driven by fear and ambition, Naoki forced a confident nod. “Indeed, I want nothing less.
Do you believe me?” asked Naoki, hoping to instill confidence and trust. He knew his reputation preceded him, and that he needed to prove himself worthy of handling such potent material.
Sensing a bit of desperation mixed with naïveté, The Dealer gave a slow nod. “Very well then, tell me – how much can you offer? No half measures here; remember, you seek power, transformation.”
Naoki hesitated momentarily, calculating his financial resources and weighing the risk.
Gritting his teeth, he offered, "Fifteen thousand dollars... But please understand, this is just a first payment; I need to secure future transactions."
The Dealer raised an eyebrow, assessing Naoki's sincerity once more. "Alright, we shall see how far you can go," he agreed eventually, with a hint of malice lingering in his voice. "However, be warned. This drug comes with its fair share of consequences.
Are you prepared?" questioned The Dealer, eyeing Naoki skeptically. Feeling slightly perturbed by the intensity in The Dealer's gaze, Naoki nodded firmly, declaring, "Absolutely. If necessary, I will ensure you receive payments consistently and discreetly." This declaration pleased The Dealer somewhat, seeing as his client demonstrated dedication and determination befitting a high-profile transaction.
Despite Naoki's commitment, though, the Dealer remained cautiously reserved.
Reaching into his jacket pocket, he produced a small container filled with a murky liquid suspended in transparent gelatin.
"This," he said gravely, "is the substance itself. Now take careful consideration—once ingested, there is no turning back. It's will make anyone who take it... may i say flatten like a empty balloon. or just mere skin suit ready for anyone to wear, take over their life."
There was a noticeable change in the room, palpable tension radiating off both parties. Taking care not to betray his nervousness, Naoki calmly responded, "Understood. Your terms are reasonable, considering the product's uniqueness. Can we proceed with the exchange?" 
Seeing Naoki's resolve and recognition of the price he was willing to pay, The Dealer softened slightly, feeling a surge of respect for the brave customer before him. "Of course, brave buyer.
Here's our agreement..." The Dealer pulled forth a scroll made of ancient parchment, adorned with ornate lettering and symbols. Both Naoki and The Dealer examined it closely, committing every word to memory. The contract specified the amount owed, the quantity of the Skin Suit Drug supplied, and detailed the various conditions attached thereto. It also delved into the nature of the relationship binding these two disparate individuals together – a symbiotic partnership where success depended heavily on mutual trust and cooperation.
Both Naoki and The Dealer signed the contract without delay, acknowledging the gravity of their decision.
The atmosphere grew increasingly somber as Naoki awaited the arrival of the promised package. The silence was deafening, broken only by the occasional rustle of paper or the ticking of clocks on distant walls.
Finally, after hours had passed, The Dealer returned, carrying a small vial containing the coveted Skin Suit Drug. Its contents were viscous and pale, resembling nothing else found in nature.
Gingerly, Naoki picked up the tiny bottle, inspecting its unsettling appearance intimately. Unable to look away, he noticed something peculiar – fleeting shadows dancing within the fluid, appearing almost alive. Mesmerized by this sight, he wondered if the rumors were true – did the Skin Suit Drug truly have the ability to manipulate consciousness beyond comprehension?
With the precious vial nestled safely in his hands, Naoki's pulse raced wildly as he realized the enormity of the task ahead.
The thought of ingesting the mysterious substance sent shivers down his spine, leaving him feeling anxious yet exhilarated at the same time. He knew now that crossing this threshold would irrevocably alter the trajectory of his life. Yet, unable to resist the lure of transformation, he chose to embark on this treacherous journey – armed with bravery, reckless abandon, and boundless optimism.
Stepping outside the warehouse, Naoki stood bathed in moonlight, allowing its gentle caress to guide him homeward.
In the distance, he could hear the faint whispers of sirens blending harmoniously with the urban hum, reminding him of the fragility of human existence compared to the permanence of his newly acquired possession. The weight of responsibility hung heavy on his shoulders, propelling him forward with renewed urgency.
Having secured the prized Skin Suit Drug, Naoki couldn't contain his anticipation as he set about planning the most crucial part of his meticulously crafted plan.

i turned to your writing advice when i first started out in fanfic (chapter 40-something of your 'headcanons, drabbles...') and it centered the importance of writing first and foremost for yourself - awesome advice. now, though, i'm drafting a gift fic for a friend and am trying to properly write these unfamiliar tropes and dynamics. do you have any advice on motivation and 'how' to make something appealing when it's not your favorite? or any motivation tips beyond 'i care about them'? tysm!
It kinda comes back to the same place, at least for me.
First and foremost, take those unfamiliar tropes and dynamics, and go do some reading! Find fics that capture those ideas and read them, but while you're reading, take some mental (or physical) notes.
Did the story work? How did those tropes play out in the story? What elements of them did you enjoy? What did you not enjoy? What would you do differently, provided you had the same set up and needed to play into the same tropes / dynamics?
Ideally, here you find a few fics including those tropes and dynamics that you enjoy. Read up on some meta if you find it helpful, talk to your friend and learn what they enjoy in those tropes / dynamics, talk to other fans to find out what they like. Look for things that catch your interest and that you want to explore further within those tropes.
Above all else, for me, it comes down to finding something to love within the ideas you want to write. Something that tickles your brain and makes you excited and interested, that you want to explore and flesh out. Hunt through the ideas, through the tropes, through the dynamics and find what incites emotions in you. Even if you find something that you strongly dislike, that's good too! Why do you dislike that part of it? Could you fix it? Could you make it worse? Could you explore your distaste in a written narrative to feel out where that distaste comes from?
Once you've found that point of interest, interrogate it! Wiggle it and spin it around and listen to music while thinking about it! Pull it apart like clay then push it back together until you're able to build up a story around that interest. Grab onto that interest and let it be the driving force behind your piece!
If you can't find anything interesting at all, then the hard truth it that it's probably best that you don't write it. Your lack of interest and motive will drain the piece. Don't try to force out a cookiecutter story just so you can say you did. Find a different trope / dynamic that your friend enjoys instead, and the both of you will be much happier for it. That's what it means to be writing for yourself first and foremost. Even if the story is for someone else, you always need to find that interest as your starting point, otherwise the story will end up a husk.
That being said, I've rarely encountered a topic that I couldn't find something interesting in so long as I was willing to dig. It can take a bit of reading, but more often than not, there will be a take or spin on something that grabs your attention. The trick is to hold onto that tightly once you find it. Stabbing it with a knife works if it's squirmy, but it's ill advised unless you're cool with cleaning up blood.

There's a fan theory on twitter that says what if Mork somehow responsible for Day's accident and i so do not want this to happen 🥺 i want them to be completely new to each other, i want snarkiness at the start, unfamiliarity, uncomfortableness even. All this feelings transforming into acquaintance, comfort, love, acceptance. And i have a feeling bl fandom doesn't have enough critical thinking for this kind of ambiguity with its black or white thinking so no please. Tell me your thoughts dear Monica 💓
I MEAN LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL I RESPECT EVERYONE’S TASTE AND OPINIONS BUT IM VERY MUCH WITH YOU ON THIS ANON
the thing is.. i do enjoy my fair share of angst and drama from time to time, however i do need it to be functional to the story and the characters to like it, and i just don't think that this particular plot point would serve any purpose in mork and day's relationship. don't get me wrong, im not saying that a story about character A causing a life altering accident to character B and the complex relationship that could develop between them isn't an interesting idea to explore, and i know we have no idea what p'aof wants to do so i might be wrong, but i simply don't think last twilight is gonna be this kind of story
mork being responsible for day's accident would also become part of a series of more.. 'controversial' topics that i tend to have a lot of reservations about, mainly for two reasons:
1) while it's true that the fandom tends to have a very black and white mentality (and in my experience this is true for every fandom, not just the BL one), it’s also incredibly hard to write certain kind of storylines in a satisfactory way, because there are just so many things to take into account: the characters, the motivations, what you want to say as a writer, what is perceived by the viewers.... if you don't find the right balance between all these different elements, things could easily go wrong (take dan killing sean's dad in not me, for example: the writers wanted us to sympathize with both characters, but the issue lacked any kind of resolution because they clearly didn't know how to give it a proper one, which only ended up disappointing and dividing the fandom even more)
2) i do understand how this kind of.. extremely dramatic stories can be appealing or even seem more realistic to people, but on one hand i always thought that if i wanted realism i would just watch the news instead of a BL show, and on the other i often find that overdramatic plot points usually add very little to the story itself, except creating unnecessary complications that are hard to deal with. tian not being behind the wheel of the car that killed torfun in a tale of a thousand stars doesn't lessen the guilt that he feels for being somehow responsible for her death, and wen not cheating on alan in moonlight chicken doesn't make their relationship any less complicated (i actually think that showing how you can fall out of love with someone and finding it hard to let them go because in a way you still care about them is far more compelling than a cheating plot, but that's a whole other matter). similarly, i don't think that mork not being responsible for day's accident would take something out of their story
from what we saw in the trailer i think last twilight is gonna be about two very different people being thrown together by circumstances and helping each other rediscovering themselves and life and a future that they didn't think they could have, and like you said that's what i want to see

Post 3: Dating Apps
I figured for today’s post I would take a break from discussing esoteric technological romantic topics in favor of something with which I think we’re all at least passingly familiar - dating apps. 
From the more mainstream services such as Bumble or Tinder, to the most niche of sites like blackpeoplemeet.com and farmersonly.com, if you personally haven’t found yourself using one of these platforms, it’s almost certain you at least know somebody who has. Their ubiquity has very much been welcomed by our hook-up culture based society. 
Even then, many who find themselves on these sites often complain that their experience is less than desirable. Although these apps may advertise as being serious contenders for ways in which to meet a romantic partner, the reality more often than not is that people on these platforms are looking primarily for one-off sexual encounters rather than committed relationships. 
And honestly? I can’t say I entirely blame these people. 
For those unfamiliar, the premise behind many of these dating services (at least in the mobile sector) is that users are fed a seemingly infinite amount of individuals within their area. They’re then given the choice to either swipe right if they are interested in connecting with that person, or left to ignore them.
Let’s be honest, many of these apps are designed in such a way as to encourage people to make knee jerk reactions on who they want to interact with based primarily on their appearance. This much can be gleaned through their user interface design, which ensures the first thing you see of each new user in your queue is their picture. This goes doubly so for Bumble, as it demands users include a clear picture of their face as the first thing on their page in order to use the app. 
From there, there are subtler signs that give away the app’s true intentions. Although users can get a more detailed look into their potential partner’s personality by reading their bio, the bio section of a profile is entirely optional, leading some users to forgo it altogether, or use the space to advertise their external social media pages. Additionally, Tinder specifically is set up in such a way as to make moving onto the next profile easier than learning more about the one you’re currently viewing. 
Several studies have been conducted looking into the addictive nature of scrolling specifically. The satisfying gesture in combination with the constantly updating stream of stimulation is a lethal combination for many’s productivity. On Bumble, simply scrolling down on a user’s profile allows you to learn more about them. 
Conversely, Tinder requires users to stop scrolling to actively click a small, unassuming icon on a user’s page to read their bio. Although this may seem like a menial difference from Bumble’s formula, the additional barrier is still a deliberate part of the app’s design to make the prospect of learning more about a user marginally less appealing than simply moving on to the next. 
As for why these apps are set up in this manner? It’s to promote as much activity as possible. Both Tinder and Bumble (much like many social media platforms, especially recently) are free services with optional paid membership offerings. Those who don’t pay for these monthly subscriptions are subjected to advertisements intermixed with their stream of user profiles, and in order to maximize users exposure to these ads, it’s in these platforms’ best interest for users to spend as little time on each person as possible. 
So we’ve established these apps are set up in ways that encourage people to judge their potential partners mostly on physical appearance rather than personality, but another reason few find success on these platforms is the gender make up for a traditional dating app. Once again using Tinder and Bumble as examples, although concrete data is hard to ascertain due to the secrecy under which they operate, it’s estimated that the former’s user base consists of approximately 21.9% women to 78.1% men. Bumble fares a bit better in this category, with a male to female ratio of about 57% to 43%. Troublingly, this seems to be a self-perpetuating problem. With such a skewed gender ratio, in addition to their design methodology, more men on these platforms may feel the need to be more aggressive in their conversations in order to more assuredly secure a date, which would only drive more women away from these platforms, creating this vicious cycle.
This leads into a point I hope to touch on later about the rise in isolation shaping our behaviors, specifically in regards to romantic and sexual fulfillment.

Experience the Best in New Age Music Festivals If you're a music lover looking for something a bit different, consider attending a New Age music festival. These gatherings feature musicians who specialize in genres such as ambient, new age, and world music, and they offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a different kind of sound. One of the best things about New Age music festivals is the relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. This is a place where you can wear tie-dye and dreadlocks without anyone blinking an eye, and where you'll meet people from all walks of life who share a love of music and a desire to connect with others. Many New Age music festivals take place in beautiful, natural settings such as national parks and forests, and organizers often go to great lengths to create a harmonious, eco-friendly environment. You might find yourself camping in a forest clearing or dancing under the stars, surrounded by stunning scenery and like-minded people. The music itself is often designed for relaxation and meditation, with a focus on creating a calm, soothing atmosphere. You might hear traditional instruments such as flutes, harps, and sitars, as well as electronic sounds and samples. Some festivals even offer workshops and classes on sound healing and other related topics. But don't think that New Age festivals are all about introspection and quiet contemplation. Many also offer dance parties and other high-energy events where you can let loose and groove to the beat. And while the music might be unfamiliar at first, you'll soon find yourself swept up in the rhythms and melodies. If you're interested in attending a New Age music festival, there are plenty to choose from around the world. Some of the most popular include the Big Sur Spirit Garden Festival in California, the BaliSpirit Festival in Indonesia, and the Enchanted Forest Gathering in Oregon. Do some research and see which ones appeal to you. Whether you're a long-time fan of New Age music or just curious to explore something new, a music festival can be a life-changing experience. You might discover new artists and sounds that resonate with you, or make new friends and connections that will last a lifetime. So why not give it a try? Experience the Best in New Age Music Festivals

When Life Gives You Lemons...
🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋
"Lemonade" is an upcoming interactive fiction inspired by slice-of-life manga and my personal experiences studying abroad in Tokyo. Play as the new transfer student at Morigaoka Public High School and navigate school life, friendships, young love, and the unrelenting highs and lows of growing up.
Synopsis:
Throughout MC’s life, they’ve had to move constantly due to their parents’ unstable jobs and turbulent marriage. Never have they been at the same school for more than two years, and never have they had any lasting identity beyond that of being “The New Student”, over and over again.
Now that MC’s parents have divorced, Morigaoka is anticipated to be the final transfer. The story follows MC as they traverse the unfamiliar terrain of stability and finally find that sense of belonging...along with something more.
🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋
Description of Features:
A story-driven experience as opposed to a stat-based game. This is inspired by my favorite romance IF on Hosted Games, The Wayhaven Chronicles. My goal is for the reader to feel like the protagonist of an actual manga series, so while stats will have some influence (i.e. going for a bold response as a shy character will be met with surprise; attempting something physical if you are unathletic is likely to fail), your choices will be what dictates your narrative.
8 distinct romance routes. Click here to learn about the love interests! All ROs can be romanced by all MCs (no gender or personality lock). No interaction is copied and pasted between the different characters, and they will be responsive to your MC based on their own individual personalities and backstories. 
Of course, with love comes jealousy, and with jealousy comes enemies... 
Meaningful relationships beyond romance. Choose your desired friend group, with friendship scenes including SNS group chats, outings, and-- should MC not evade-- the topic of love interests. MC will discover that different friends and classmates have valuable insights (or misinformed biases) about the different love interests. Whether you ask for advice, heed the advice, or reject it entirely is up to you.
Family is also a relationship that MC can foster or ignore. MC comes from a predetermined background of divorced parents, but how that has affected MC, as well as what they think of each parent now, is the player’s decision. Click here to learn about your parents!
Different club activities, with unique club members and events (i.e. Music Club will have a live concert, Sports will have tournaments, etc.). In Year 1, the clubs available are: Cheer, Music, Art, Journalism, Basketball, Soccer, Track, and Volleyball. Joining a club is mandatory per school policy...but being diligent about it is not, so if you have better things in mind than 2 hours of practice...hm? Encouraging delinquency? I would never 🥴 Click here to learn a little about clubs!
🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋
The story is planned to be a trilogy, with each book encompassing each year of high school + an epilogue. I am in the midst of writing the first draft of B1. A first demo containing Chapters 1 and 2 is aimed for release by mid 2022, and a second demo will be released after that, with Chapters 3 and 4.
If any of the above appeals to you, I would be deeply grateful for Lemonade to be on your radar. Until then, happy IF-ing!
