Ramon: we need to find Cucurucho again
Fit: Yeah, that's really weird that he was just watching us -
Ramon: so Pac can adopt me
Fit: Oh yeah– Well, you know– I mean, maybe we can like– Maybe we can have it arranged where if Pac gives you a cookie, it counts for the full amount instead of half. And then maybe the same for me for Richarlyson. Right? 'Cuz I mean, like– We're... basically a family. I mean we have– I mean, let's be real, we have been for a while, but it just a little bit– it's just a little more official now.
Ramon: yeah but Pac wanted to throw a big party

the general nosiness tag
hello, i've been overstimulated and overwhelmed by work, and i can't even look at my email right now or else i will start crying lol, so i'm procrastinating by doing this instead. thank you @transitat & @writerrose1998 for tagging me <333
rules: skip if you're uncomfortable sharing. i don't mean to make anyone feel pressured! <3
a beautiful place you visited that made you very happy yes, i know we all hate disney, but the day i visited disney shanghai was one of, if not the happiest days of my life, and i know this to be true because it was the ONE DAY when my twin sis & i didn't fight at all, lol. back then, there was only one Tron rollercoaster in the whole world, and it happened to be in shanghai (i think you can find this in one of the disney parks in the usa now).
Tumblr media
2. a book or written piece of media that made you go "oh yesssss" the last book i read was TBOSAS, and i loved it, so I'm gonna go with that one.
3. your spotify apple music top song of the year i don't pay for spotify, so i don't get warped or anything, but my top song on apple music is tango by ryuichi sakamoto.
4. Your favorite line/paragraph that you've written or an artwork that you're proud of i described wednesday as "persistent and pain-resistant" in the chapter 1 of i put a spell on you (aka the wyler x practical magic au), and i'm happy with that.
5. your favorite painting/art piece well, let's just say that there's a reason i mentioned michelangelo's david in oh god, i think i'm falling (aka the fallen angel tyler galpin au), hehe.
6. a language that sounds beautiful to your ears idk every language that exists in the world, but everything i've heard so far sounds beautiful hehe <333
7. rec some fics that you keep going back to hmm there are a lot but for now, i'm going to pick something that i've recced before lol. it's euphoric in some stranger delight, just because it's one of my favorite wyler fics, and i always feel that it needs more love.
8. please share pictures of your pets if you're comfortable with that. it was his 4th gotcha day on 24 november!
Tumblr media
9. a happy story from your life i honestly can't think of anything right now because i've been so stressed out

hi imane! i hope ur doing well <3 i just wanted to ask: what do you do during times of uncertainty? im a uni student abt to go on placement and I've been applying for part-time jobs that's centred around my field but to no avail sadly :/ i wanted to save up at least so i wouldn't stress during placement and everything's so overwhelming.. there are other external factors that's making me feel this way too like a friendship break-up i had few months ago and its affected me quite badly but im starting to pick myself up again. anyways sorry for the rant and i hope ur day is lovely x
hey! just sat down after hours of procrastination to work on my dissertation and i wish i were done already akjdkfgj but it could be worse!! ok it's gonna be long and probs unhelpful but i know that you wanted to vent more than you thought i was holding some solution so I'll just ramble and hope something resonates with you lmao <3
for me uncertainty makes me feel like my life is in shambles, it's hard to cope with things going south and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but during my yearly flop era in march/april i had a talk with a friend who's much older, wiser, and more experimented, and basically it helped me put things into perspective and learn how to let go. there are only so many things that you can control so i split my different issues into different categories for a more systemic approach to my problems lol: things that i can actually somewhat control (my emotions, my reactions, my efforts, what i can do moving forward to alleviate some of my stress), things that are out of my control (how people misconstrue me, external stressors like shitty coworkers, refusals from jobs i was applying for) and things (and people) that i don't need in my life. learning to let go of things for me internationally infamous control freak was not easy but it was liberating, idk if you're religious so if you aren't the next part isn't going to be helpful lol but i don't think i should be chasing things because i am exactly where i am meant to be, and if i start clutching at the things that aren't meant to be in my life, it's just my ego getting in the way, and i prayed that Allah just lets me find the place that i would fit better in and that He'd take me away from it if i wasn't going to be doing or feeling good there. i guess the non-religious version would just be to trust the process and understand that things in life wax and wane, whether it be job opportunities or relationships. obviously there's like a plethora of other factors like what do i do if i can't pay the bills and stuff? that was how i was thinking just a couple of months ago when my dissertation was not writing itself and nobody was hiring me! but a few weeks have passed and looking back on it i was starting to chase things again and it made me feel like i was stuck in a rut when in fact it's normal for things to take some time to settle down and for opportunities to arrive.
so basically whether you stress about it or not, literally nothing is going to change except the way you frame it in your head. for me i just continued applying and gave interviews my all while also being detached enough to simply trust myself to find the space that i was meant to occupy eventually, and after many many many rejections i finally found something a week ago, but it took a couple of months of steady job application to get there. looking from the other side of the mirror it's easy to say things like "don't get discouraged!" but it is true that if you keep throwing shit at a wall something's going to eventually stick, hence the power of consistency and of never giving up.
i'm glad you're slowly building yourself back up after your friendship break-up, i know how much it can drag you down but again some people are meant to be with you for a season only and at the end of the day with the effect of time making things more bearable and by working on your self-esteem and knowing that you can do things that you set your mind to, whether it is finding a part-time job or picking yourself back up, in a few weeks you're gonna look back on where you were mentally at when you sent me this message and where you'll be then and you'll thing "well i guess things DO pass huh who would've thought!!" lol life is a cycle of stability and unsteadiness, doesn't matter how much you prepare something's always going to go sideways but another truth is that things fall back into place again and you have to have faith in that, in yourself, and maybe in something else like i am w/ my relation to religion if u need extra help. speaking of help if you have a support system, confide in them and let them carry some of that weight for you!! you'd do the same for them so don't feel like you're a burden for needing help when you are facing instability. wishing you the best of luck and i really hope you find a good part-time job before your placement babe

HI, hello >:)))
I saw you were doing matchups and I wanted to ask for one!
Personality:
I am often described as silent and I have a quiet voice (but I still can speak loudly if I try), If I get a dollar for the amount of times people ask me to repeat what I said louder I'd be a millionaire. But I can get talkative at times–when I'm having a good time or if the topic is something I'm immensely interested in.
I am lazy; I only do things when I really need to but if it's not important? I chill in bed. I also procrastinate a lot with everything. And yet at the end of the day, I still get things done decently. But sometimes, when I feel inspired or motivated, I do the things usually I'm lazy to do.
Crowds can stress me out. My temper rises and I get frustrated easily when there's too many people around. Usually when there's visitors, I lock myself in my room until they're gone (which is pretty rude actually 😭).
I am quite shy too but, there's a part of me that wants to be confident and be on stage for some reason, even though I have no talent that has anything to do with a stage. And a part of me wants to stay in place. If there's something I really need to do however, like speak a poem or play a character for a roleplay in front of people–I do give it my all and push my shyness away in the mean time. Maybe it's because I don't want to disappoint my group mates or because I try to avoid embarrassment at all cost.
Also, I like expressing myself. Whenever we have an activity (mostly writing) that involves self-expression or speak my opinion, I get really excited. Because for everyone else, I seem to be an enigmatic person because of how closed-off or quiet I am so I want them to know me atleast a bit better enough to see me as someone who can be their friend.
I don't like going outside. Too exhausting for me and I don't really have any particular reason to.
My friends say I'm optimistic but I prefer to be called as a realist.
I consider every possibility and forgets probabilities so I can get very indecisive and usually postpones making a choice for as long as possible. I also avoid confrontation a lot.
Preferences:
I don't have a favorite color.
And I like a variety of foods like salads, fruits, and tofu. I like sweet things too (especially chocolate) but I don't like cakes. I don't hate or like meat. I hate sea food but salmon can pass. I like to drink coffee, smoothies, and milk tea.
I like wearing wide pants and long dresses that cover up my knees. And even if I said I have no favorite color, I actually like wearing white and black outfits.
Appearance:
I don't think I'll say much cause I don't like talking about how I look.
I have dark circles under my eyes. For some reason, no matter how much I drink water or sleep it never leaves my face 🕴️.
I'm short, maybe around 5'0 but not above 5'4.
I have long hair, straight but curly on top (my hair is one of the things I hate on myself lol.
I think that's about it about me. Perhaps this is pretty long, and I'm sorry 💀.
I wish you good luck and enjoy doing the match up requests! Merry Christmas in advance :D
i saw the words "merry christmas" and. wow. i really should finish working on these matchup requests IT'S ALMOST MARCH
hi, i hope you enjoy your matchup!
the character that i think would be a good partner for you is..
silver!
Tumblr media
i'll explain why i chose him:
silver doesn't mind you being quiet at all. in fact, he enjoys listening to you talk very much, it relaxes him and it feels like a nice break from more.. uh, louder students sebek. your voice can easily make him feel sleepy too.. in a good way, of course! he finds your voice very calming! however, he will try his best to stay awake so that he can listen to you. he makes sure you feel comfortable around him and he wants you to know that you can talk about anything you want. he really likes those moments when you become more talkative and open, it's like he sees a different side of you and he is very happy to see it.
he loves chilling in bed with you! you two would most likely cuddle a lot too. he thinks it's impressive how you still manage to get everything done no matter how much you procrastinate. he would try his best to motivate you when you don't really feel like doing something, but also.. he has to admit that taking a break with you sounds really good right now. also he wouldn't really force you to go outside if you don't want to and he knows how exhausting that can be, but he still would love it if you spent at least a little bit more time outside. it's good for you, you know!
he thinks your shyness is actually kinda cute, but if you want to work on it and become more confident, he'd be glad to help. whenever you have to do some kind of task, he's there to support you and he tries to help you calm down and not worry too much about it. he's a very chill person, so his personality helps you feel more relaxed whenever you're around him. he also loves to see you expressing yourself and even though you can't see it on his face, he actually gets really excited whenever he gets to know something new about you.

HELLO!! Im calling you my friend now, btw it's the aneversiry of when you stopped doing the narrator requests i think.. Or maybe it was the 15th?
But anyways i told you i would talk again! Anyway!! How's your day? And big big question, how do you get through highschool? I'm having some trouble adjusting..
Also I am getting soup after school!! I'm so excited!! I really hope its tomato or broccoli!!
-<3 your new friend you cannot escape
howdy! yes, the one year anniversary of me stopping the headcanons was the 15th. i can't believe it's been a year. (or maybe it was the 1st of september? heck, even i don't remember.)
my day is going... interestingly. i have nine days before i head into college, and... hoo boy, there's a mixed bag right there lol
but enough about me. how does someone get through high school...
well, there are several things a person can do. i won't talk about studying tips, those are fairly easy to google, and you'll have to work out what works for you.
the single most valuable piece of advice I can give is to ask for help before you need it, not during the height of a crisis. talk to your teachers, fellow students, and parents/guardians/found family at the beginning of the trouble, whatever it is. don't wait until the last minute, because it gives less time for people to accomodate you (if you need an extension on an assignment, for example) and it will leave them less time to lend a hand before something hits. and, the longer you procrastinate asking for help, the worse your stress level gets, and the harder it may be to ask due to shame.
ASK 👏 FOR 👏 HELP 👏
it sucks, but if you get it out the way early, things will go much better for you.
i'm really happy you're getting soup after school. hoping it's delicious.
also don't worry about repeatedly showing up here. most of my tumblr friends were made because people sought me out and were persistent. i don't generally pursue online friendships that much, so go right ahead lol

✨️ If you get this, answer with ten random facts about yourself, and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications. Anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog ✨️
Lol, thanks for tagging me, @arabianflowers!!!
Ok, let's see, I'm a pretty boring person, but let's go:
I am a huge mythology nerd, specifically Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Norse mythology. This makes me a huge fan of all the books Rick Riordan wrote, but if you asked me if I liked the PJ movies, I will throw hands over the utter terribleness of those films.
I only crush on fictional men, and I have learned that my type is ✨hot, badass guys with long-ish dark hair. Also, most of my crushes are old enough to be my dad, which is weird.
I cannot shape my eyebrows correctly even if my life were depending on it. And my two eyebrows will never be symmetrically plucked no matter how long I've spent on them. Maybe cuz I have super shaky hands. As in shaking when I'm writing math problems out. Nail art is impossible for me.
I cannot do eyeshadow properly. I either look like a glitter bomb exploded over my eyeballs or a racoon with eyeliner. You know that scene in CATWS where Bucky shoots Nick Fury and Steve runs after him, and there's that one shot of Bucky with smudged eyeliner/eyeshadow? That's me whenever I try eyeshadow.
I'm Asian, specifically Chinese, but I was born in America (I'm a total ABC), and both my parents were born in Hong Kong and left before China took over.
I'm pretty good at math. I did Kumon as a kid (if you're Asian, you'll know this), and I got an award for doing 11th grade math as a 5th grader even though I didn't understand half of what I was doing because Kumon doesn't explain whatever the fuck polynomial functions are, and I only understood it like several years later.
I'm the biggest procrastinator you'll ever meet, but it works for me. I once started an entire persuasive essay like five hours before the due date, and I still got a perfect score. I shouldn't be proud, yet here I am. Although I did recently learn leaving all assignments to do Friday night when they're due gives me stress acne, and I broke out yesterday.
I've never been diagnosed for it, but I think I have some form of social anxiety. Whenever I have to talk or meet people I don't know, I get really nervous and can't speak. Especially when I'm there to learn something I don't know, I get very self conscious cuz I always think I'm doing worse than everyone else. I'll be very awkward and quiet, but once I feel comfortable with you, I'm loud as fuck and you'll never have another moment of quiet with me.
I have a super dark, very edgy, and pretty shitty sense of humor that only I laugh at and worries most people. My humor probably makes me sound like a serial killer and offends 90% of people, so I've learned to stop making jokes.
I have issues. And one of them is that I think being dark and depressed makes me sound cool, but I can't help it.
There you go, 10 very random facts about me. I probably sounded like a psychopath after that, but yeah. Let me know what you think!

Did you get diagnosed with adhd as an adult? I ask because I'm an adult woman of color that can get up and go to work and can kind of interact with people around me, so I feel like I'll never get it
I got diagnosed when I was 29 but looking back I should have been diagnosed when I was in middle school lol. When I sought out a doctor I was technically functioning at my job and home but I was doing piss poor work and was stressed out beyond my limit 100% of the time.
I have a really hard time talking to doctors because I get anxious and forget what I want to highlight a lot so it may be helpful for you as well to list out your struggles and how they are negatively impacting your life. then you have a point by point list your doctor can use to help with diagnosis
for examples, a bunch of stuff I listed:
Work:
I forget to follow up on problem orders constantly, creating larger problems for myself later
I have to keep ridiculous amounts of notes to keep myself on track, but then the amount of notes becomes overwhelming and they become impossible to use
I question my memory at all times which keeps me in a high level of stress and anxiety
After dealing with some extra temporary responsibilities I hit a wall and have not been able to bounce back and do my normal duties very well anymore. Even my boss has noticed that I have had a hard time keeping up and talked to me about it. Nothing has permanently changed with my work, the problem is something with me.
home/personal life
I volunteer to help people with plans often but very quickly forget my responsibilities and only remember when reminded at the the last minute, putting myself in the position where I have to work until 2 or 3am to prepare for what we're doing
often I feel very creative and have the intention to work on home improvement or personal projects but either cant force myself to initiate a plan or after starting a plan I can't focus enough to get remotely close to completing it
along with the above, when actually starting a project it's generally on impulse and as soon as the impulse dies down I cant force myself to continue no matter how hard I try
I create constant messes and always feel disorganized no matter how hard I try to maintain an acceptable living space
I buy things on impulse for personal projects but then can't bring myself to work on the projects, meaning I often waste money on impulse buys that never go anywhere
I have a difficult time remembering to pay bills
General
forgetfulness causes me to accidentally procrastinate almost constantly, always putting me in a position where I have to rush while fueled by anxiety to get anything accomplished.
I basically rely on anxiety to push me to complete anything. if I'm not afraid of failure or causing problems it's almost like tasks don't exist
there isn't a day where one or more of the above things causes me problems.
kind of overboard but you get the idea. take some time over a week or two and note every time your ADHD symptoms affect your quality of life, and also add to your notes that all these things are negatively impacting you on a daily basis (if its true, which I don't doubt it is). If you share any of these problems with me feel free to tell your doctor you know someone diagnosed with ADHD who had the same problems to emphasize that you don't just have generalized anxiety.
My doctor made a copy of my notes to keep on file which I greatly appreciated. I've had a LOT of problems with doctors in the past not taking me seriously for physical problems I had so I'm like extra aware and suspicious of how doctors behave now.
I was genuinely surprised at how serious my doctor took all my issues. She didn't dismiss anything and agreed this sounded like ADHD. I'm white and can't talk to the issue of being POC and trying to get taken seriously by medical professionals but my generic advice is: don't be afraid to fire a doctor who doesn't seem to listen to you or is dismissive of your struggles. You don't even need to tell them they're fired, you can just cancel your next appt right after you make it and then ghost them. I went through 5 doctors (and hundreds of dollars....) getting a physical problem diagnosed once. I seriously wish I'd jumped ship on two of these guys sooner and stopped wasting my time and money on morons who had no investment in my health.
Also if possible, talk to local people you know or check out support groups (there are a lot of various ones on FB. also there may be forums out there for this kind of thing) for POC who struggle with finding doctors who actually listen to them. There may be recs you can use.
One more little bit of advice, if you're more comfortable with video chat than going to see a doctor in person you can do telehealth visits to speak with psychs about mental health issues and even get a diagnosis. It's what I did at first because it was easier to fit into my schedule. The only caveat is they can't prescribe you any medications for controlled substances (like adderall) without seeing you in person at least once. So if they do diagnose you with ADHD you'll have to go see them in person one time to get a prescription.
I always rant when I get asks for advice aaaa but I hope this helps at least somewhat!! If you have any other questions or want to talk feel free to send another ask or DM me!!

okay, i don't know why, but i have ALWAYS been like you described. i have so many movies, TV shows, books, podcasts, songs, etc that i want to experience but do i? nope, just put on another F1 race, please. i don't know if it's fear of the unknown (hello, flood of unexpected emotions!) or not wanting to challenge myself or also wanting to watch F1 and F1 just wins out, but here we are. i suspect it's part of my OCD? or some other ND thing that hasn't been diagnosed in me yet??
in fact prolly the only reason i watch F1 is bc i watch it with my sister. it is a lot easier to do new stuff with someone else...which deludes me into believing that if i just got a partner, we could open the floodgates and watch everything i haven't seen together, but lord knows it don't work that way 😑 in any case, i don't know what's wrong with us, but you're not alone!
I'm glad I'm not the only one!! 💕💕
(Reply ramble under the cut cause I wrote more than I expected)
I think I just struggle to start anything new or to finish anything. I totally agree with what you said about it being the fear of unexpected emotions/the unknown! Like for race seasons for example, I just spent a significant amount of time immersed in 2005 which is a specific set of information(you know: rules, strategy, drivers, etc.), so to start a new season would be a completely different set of info. As I said in my earlier tags, some part of me likes the anticipation more and also I always get way too hyper about things and that energy is overwhelming 😓 And I also feel like I have a fear about how much time I'm going to spend(which is stupid because I'll spend like way too much time aimlessly scrolling for the same amnt of time it'd take to watch a race.) Like the idea of specifically putting aside two hours to do only one thing is stressful to me, which is why I often used to like watching races when I literally couldn't do anything else(waiting for a class.) But now I'm stuck back in the cycle of not wanting to start something new, even if 2009 isnt exactly new because I've watched a lot of racing at this point, but still new enough to me that it's hard to convince my brain to start it. Like once I get into the groove of things, I can float through and enjoy myself, it's just that beginning barrier that's hard to get through.
I also definitely agree with having to watch it with someone else. I either have to binge watch things super quickly or watch them with other people, if not, I'll just end up never starting it or abandoning it. I think it's because it's really nice to be able to discuss your thoughts and feelings abt it with another person and not just be stuck with a million thoughts bouncing around your head(which is why I tend to make posts and then rant in the tags LOL)
I think thats why ive been able to get into F1 to such an extent and why it's been so fun for me. It's a live experience(with a strict time constraint, i.e. you can only watch it right here, right now) where there's a bunch of people watching and interacting. I love tumblr during a race weekend so much, I don't think I'd be obsessed with it as much if not for the ability to see everyone's reactions and interact back with them. I think that's why I struggle to start old seasons, because it's literally just me obsessing alone in my room and I can't talk about it to the extent that I can with the current season. Watching F1 as it goes along in a current season is just a perfect experience I guess, because the schedule pushes me along and I don't really have to rely on myself to keep going.
But yeah who knows!! Brain just being brain as always I guess, but it is annoying that it prevents us from doing things we want to do! But I will say, still, its so stupid that I procrastinate over watching 10 minute long YouTube vids LMAO, like pls I get the hesitation with a 2 hour race, 2 hour movie or 100k fic but, 10 minutes, seriously brain???

The new Yeosang fic was so good I loved it thank you
I love the interactions with the members, all of them having a kind of personal moment with her
I could also see how self-indulgent it really was and now only realise that your other fics are too
From your ult bias to LOTR and anime it all just screamed you (this coming from someone who just started reading your fics this year😅) and I loved every second of it
I also absolutely loved the plot twist explanation of how to write it and not make it obvious it definitely reflects in your work and is definitely beautifully placed just as Jongho said
I just absolutely love the entire chapter/part and can't wait for the second one but please take your time and don't stress yourself out about it if that is something you do(don't want to assume, I am a chronic procrastinator and have all bit given upon my book on wattpad with only like 4 chapters written unpubished because it all got to much and I couldn't find the words for stuff)
I'll go now because I'm rambling. I just wanted to say it was spectacular, and I love it. Be safe and have a great day/night
🐥
This ask literally has made my night omg thank you so much!!! I really do write a lot of self-indulgent stuff lmaooo but this one definitely takes the cake. Just wait until the next chapter ;))
I also really appreciate your comment about plot twists!! I'm so glad that it can be reflected in my actual work! I always strive to write my best, and I'm just so glad people enjoy it with me!
I'm actually currently working on the second part right now, and it's coming along a lot smoother than I thought it would. Right now, I'm just focussing on building their relationship, so his thoughts and feelings aren't actually the prime focus until about chapter three, but I'm dropping subtle hints about things throughout. So, if you wonder why in chapter two Yeosang doesn't have too many interactions with the OC, it's just world building and more self-indulgence lol.
Thank you so much for this kind ask, you have a wonderful day as well!!!

6, 19, 27, 28 and 39? 👀
!!! thank you sm for the ask !!!
6. What is your darkest fear about writing?
Writing someone out of character for sure hands down!
19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?
lmao well my writing journey started this February, and it's been slow going so far (and probably for the foreseeable future as well, i write slowly lol) but i'm enjoying myself! honestly i mostly just started writing on a whim; i'd never had an AO3 account before this year and the main reason i got one now was because when i started getting involved in fandom again after taking a break from fandom/tumblr/the MCU for a few years one of my all-time fave stevetony fics was locked for AO3 users only.
before that, the last time i was really invested in stevetony fandom around 8-9ish years ago, i just felt like i didn't really have the artistic or creative ability to contribute anything, which i definitely wouldn't believe to be true for anyone else if that was the only reason holding them back. it's been fun now to not only give myself the chance to challenge myself creatively but also challenge that mindset as well.
27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why?
Natasha in my current WIP; i talk about why at length here <3
28. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why?
I really enjoy writing both Steve and Tony! i usually go into WIPs kind of instinctually knowing whose POV i want to focus on, but actually fleshing out the story from their perspective takes me a bit of work to make sure i represent them and whatever they're going through just right. Even though it's hard, i feel like this is another outlet for me to examine and reflect on my favorite characters, and any time spent Pondering and Considering and being Compelled by them is always time well spent i think :)
39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?
Probably procrastinating something important lol.
But seriously overall i enjoy the process of creating something completely from scratch, something no one else could make precisely because it's coming from me in my voice. i never ever thought i'd write fanfic myself so just the fact that i am and i'm having fun and i feel like i improve a little every time and i'm really, genuinely proud of what i've published so far are all motivators to keep going. <3

Hello! May I ask 1, 8, and 10 for Deshi, or 2, 8, and 9 for Stag?
(To my other readers out there, yes I'm procrastinating, but this also gets me in the mood to write.)
For Deshi.
1 - What’s their ancestry? Where’s their family from? Do they know? Are they proud of their ancestors?
So Deshi's dad is presumably Japanese, but he left when Deshi was 8 and Mom doesn't talk about him. He is in fact Japanese, but Deshi's unsure of this. His paternal grandmother died before he was born and his paternal grandfather died when he was 1 or 2, so he has little to no memory of them. As for his mom, I go back and forth on what I want her to be, but I know she's from Europe. Originally, I wanted her to be Italian, but now I'm wondering if she's half and half of something else. Deshi is loosely based on my own ancestry, my father also being Japanese but I don't know him, but I wanted him to have two different cultures than my mom, who was a half and half between two herself. So I want his mom to be at least half Italian, and Deshi definitely knows this about her (and all of her ancestry) but her entire family resides in Europe. He's visited them once or twice in his life, but seeing as it's expensive and Mom doesn't work (she gets life insurance for the father's disappearance, he was ruled deceased so she could get access) they don't really go that often. Also, then never come to visit them in America (which is totally rude, but eh, it happens.)
He isn't particularly proud of his ancestry, but he doesn't hate it either. He's very neutral about things like that (he gets it from me, at least for how I feel on my mom's side), but he often argues with certain things he inherited from his father such as his thin frame and inability to gain sufficient weight in muscle because of his genetics. Not without at least trying to gain it anyway, lol. 😅
8 - How do they feel about their government? Or other forms of authority?
He respects it a lot except when it comes to his mom, which I'll explain in a bit. He's that guy that follows all the rules and overly worries about breaking them. Also known as the party pooper when it comes to staying out late or trying a bit of alcohol and other shenanigans that teenagers usually tend to do. It really stresses him out because he cares a lot about not breaking the rules.
A lot of this stems from his home life. When his father left, his mother subconsciously laid a lot of responsibilities onto Deshi because of her grief. Deshi did a lot for a kid, and started to confuse the line between parent and child more often than he should've. This is why he respects authority so much, because he is an authority figure in his sister's life, and she does everything except listen and respect Deshi, which is very frustrating. As he gets older, he often fights with his mom because sometimes, she treats him like an adult, and other times, she treats him like a child. He really hates this confusion and would rather just be a child, but then it just gets insulting to his intelligence and then she'll ask him to do something like babysit his sister or do the yard work, all a man's job in his eyes, which usually ends in a fight. This also affects Sasaki, who is very precocious, because she views Deshi as a child but for whatever reason, he gets these special "adult priviledges" that she fully believes she is more deserving of.
10 - What would absolutely destroy them? What can’t they live without?
While on Earth, if anything were to happen to his mom or sister while he was there, it would destroy him. He would blame himself and maybe even take it to the extreme because even though it wasn't a responsibility he asked for, it's one he had. If he feels responsible, or like he was the only one that could have changed something, it would destroy him to not be able to handle that responsibility, no matter how great a responsibility it was.
For Stag.
2 - If they could be or do anything in the world, who would they be? What would they be doing? What does their ideal world look like?
He actually gets there (technically, not explaining why it's technically). It's funny because you asked the perfect questions that reveal these character's growth arcs. 😊 In his ideal world, he would be free. He's a free spirit in a lot of ways, but for most of his life, he was tied down by trauma and responded with avoidance. He eventually learns to face his past so he can move on and be free, although it takes a while, and ends up in his ideal world with the person he loves. Initially, they travel together, picking up lovers and leaving them only to come back later and have more fun. He does this for years until they settle down and his partner continues to travel while Stag essentially becomes a stay at home dad. He ends up in Estes, the least populated kingdom, so he can continue to hunt and be one with nature while raising his kids. His ideal world is having the freedom to do what he wants, when he wants, without judgment or trauma or anything weighing him down.
The ultimate freedom of his heart, mind and soul.
He is a free spirit. 😊
8 - How do they feel about their government? Or other forms of authority?
He tends to fight against it when it doesn't agree with him and the closer it is to him, for example Lord Carroll, the harder he fights. This stems from his past trauma of basically being abandoned by his authority figure, so he's reluctant to trust that they have his best interests at heart. For good reason, if you ask me.
9 - What’s their perfect day look like?
This obviously depends on which version of Stag you're asking, so I'll do the one for book 2. It's not exactly what happens, but they're all parts of the reasons he really falls for Deshi. (And man he falls hard.) So details are changed, but if done in this order in this way, it would easily be his perfect day. (Only made more perfect if it were with his number one.) He gets up insanely early because Deshi is stressing out about something, so Stag distracts him by pulling pranks on the night guards. Then they watch the sunrise together from up high on the castle. During the day, they end up late for classes but spend a bunch of time goofing around and while fighting Lord Carroll in a two-on-one fight, they actually win. Then after class, they go and explore some parts of the kingdom together. The end up at the Fiend's Nest and, even though Deshi fights it, which is cute, they dance and the night ends with a kiss. They're both horribly exhausted by the end and they stay in the same room (not sexual) and Stag gets to cuddle Deshi while they sleep. Other notable interactions are talking about the people they like and mutual teasing about their crushes on people. Also, Lord Carroll participates in the prank war later in the day and Stag and Deshi end up pulling the ultimate prank on Lord Carroll which makes him act like a sore loser. Also also, they talk about their pasts, which may not seem all that important, but Stag hasn't even told Lord Carroll about his past. Having the heart to tell someone something that deep means a lot to him.
Anyway, enjoy the fluff, but be warned that this is a fabrication based on the events in book 2 and not actual events in book 2. Regardless, there are reasons Stag develops a crush on Deshi, and I can't wait to release the Second Fragment. 🥰
Thanks so much for the ask, @magicalflyingfish, it was a lot of fun to explore these questions. And now I want to work on Krystar... 😅 Well, on to writing!
Ask thing.

GET TO KNOW ME BETTER
Thanks for the tag @cerriddwenluna and sorry it took so long, if I don't do these things immediately I forget :/
Answer the questions, then pass it on to three other people you want to know better
1. What is your favourite colour?
I would probably say red, though I've been going through a yellow period lately :D. Mostly as long as it's not pastel I'm happy :)
2. What is your current favourite song?
Honestly? I have no idea. I don't listen to the radio and I don't really follow any specific artists, so unless a song REALLY blows up and/or becomes a tumblr meme, I won't know it. Which means that when I do listen to music, it's the highlights of the stuff I heard in my 20s.
That being said, I just requested my wife to put on Yo dije ouff by Omar Rudberg cause it never fails to make me happy (and make me wanna dance).
3. How would you describe your taste in music?
Lol. Should've read this question before answering this :D. But basically 90s/00s pop? I love dancing, so anything with a proper beat usually works for me - though I feel I need to clarify that I've danced folk, bellydancing, jazz, lindy hop, tap, stage, and others, so obviously "danceable" covers a VERY broad range here :D.
4. Day or night?
Night. Nobrainer.
A sleeping schedule from 3/4am to noon for me would be ideal, but alas *gestures at society and my own life choices in having a family*. Cause at night, time doesn't seem to exist quite as... explicitely? It makes it easier to do things, somehow. I can send an email and rest easy for a few hours because I know they won't reply immediately, for example.
5. What fan fics are you currently reading?
I just read Time for Love by @lady-divine-writes for the Lima Bean bookclub, and I'm making my way through the other 3-2-1 Big Bang fics. And then I don't know. I wanna read some more Young Royals, catch up on the klaine/kurtbastian fics that passed me by these past years. But I'm a terrible reader - the short fics always leave me wanting more but I just can't seem to focus on the long fics so 🤷‍♀️.
6. What is an under used trope you would like to see more often?
Not really a trope, but I'm very fascinated with the unreliable narrator thing. Getting presented something as Truth by one character, and then finding out that being very much Not True and just messing a little with the reader like that.
7. What would your dream job be?
A job that doesn't start until the afternoon, allows me freedom to organize my work the way I want it to, with enough supervision to spur me on and keep me from procrastinating, with clear deadlines because that motivates me but also without any deadlines whatsoever cause they stress me out.
Also in cycling distance from my house, please.
Like I can't think of anything concrete of the top of my head but I'm sure there's SOMETHING that matches these very simple and not at all contradictory requests.
8. Make a wish ☆
I'm gonna be lame and copy Gwen's wish: that my kids grow up into happy and good people.
Tumblr media
I'm tagging... @turmaliini, @magicalpaz, and @ipwarn. But only if you feel like it!

Check In
What I Did Today
Actually woke up w/my alarm
Procrastinated getting the day started after waking, but at least I did not hit snooze!
Worked out
Talked to my gym crush...albeit nervously, but I still did it!
Accepted the invitation to the event hosted by the only 2 men I've slept with...then invited a friend...then commenced to trying on what I plan to wear...I hope I don't have a nervous panic reaction and start shaking when talking to one of them like I did last time in a surprise encounter of them *eyeroll*
Worked for about 6 hours on the AlgoExpert videos! This is the longest I've spent on them.
Cooked all my meals, never ordered out, and ate pretty balanced!
Stayed pretty hydrated
Took a walk for 10 minutes after dinner
Got over 10k steps
Did BOTH of my face wash routines
Look at this progress!
Tumblr media
What I Learned Today
Hash tables, stacks & queues, strings, & runtimes of their common operations
I can do this!
Tumblr media
Feeling
Accomplished; I got a LOT done...more than I thought
Proud of myself; I didn't even need a nap nor did I get hella tired today
A bit more energized now that I'm averaging a bit more hours of rest at night and a little less constant stress...work put a LOT of stress on me...no matter what I did, I always felt like I was being watched or should have done something better, or that I should have been monitoring something that I deployed somewhere
Hopeful that I can keep this up and do better
Grateful that I don't have crazy headaches anymore...slight dizziness...but, I just remind myself to keep pushing through
Tumblr media
Takeaways
I'm going to get something like that house in Spain
Don't allow my mind to think negative thoughts
As I have heard throughout my life, I gotta stop being so hard on myself...
Tumblr media
How I Got Myself Out of a Rut Today
My friend telling more people I am looking when I am not trying to interview drove me nuts for many reasons: 1) I have a LOT of things lined up that I am PREPPING for!!!, 2) I TOLD him I was not trying to interview right now...MANY TIMES, 3) I would NEVER apply to the places he's volunteering my name for without running past me, 4) This lowers my stock having someone search around for me when I don't want or need them to...After telling him to chill and taking a big sigh, I got to work, because I need to shake this identity off me! LOL If I was prepared, I wouldn't even have aggressions like these! It sounds spoiled, but I hope y'all understand; I appreciate his gesture, but he's deciding to ignore my judgement despite me telling him, and throughout my life I have been trying to show people that I got it and some just don't trust my word, even if I was trying to prove it to them (which I'm not)...
Wasting less time overall
Telling myself it's okay to feel tired and that it was going to be worth it
Tumblr media
Goals Completed
Found a therapist
Stopped listening to people worried about their own circumstances and remembering God works on his own time and that I am in no rush...
Got back on the ball
Being kinder to myself and stopping guilting myself if my energy isn't always on 100%
Goals After Today
Strengthen my relationship with God
Understand the main concepts I need to from Interview Cake, AlgoExpert, etc. in 6 months, NOT less than 3
Drop my body fat percentage to Marion Jones, Michaela Cole, or Jade Cargill levels
Consistently fight urge to fill up my time with social media/YouTube
Fully forgive my family & build a great relationship with them
Be more confident & faithful
250 steps/hour & 10k steps/daily consistently
Drink more than 64oz a day consistently
Go on a date with a guy I actually like who actually likes me too
Learn more about my gym crush & get him to ask for my number
Get a house similar to that one in Spain
Update my personal app

hi! can I please request a genshin matchup? I'm over 18, so any of the adult characters, preferably male :D I love to look out for other people/volunteer- I've been told I'm a good listener and v calming. I'm pm incapable of disliking people to a fault. I'm v bubbly when I'm excited abt something, but I tend to isolate myself when I'm struggling. I'm doing a v scary degree at a very serious uni, but people are often surprised bc I'm kinda goth! tbf I procrastinate constantly atm lol. ily, tysm<3
Hello! I am so so so sorry it took me so long to fix this!! I really hope you like what I have- and again I am sincerely sorry for the wait!
Tumblr media
I match you with...
Thoma!
I can see you and Thoma working together for the Kamisato clan!
Thoma is instantly drawn to your helpful and kind attitude
You two instantly become friends!
He is so supportive of your goal, and will help with your workload at the etstate if you need extra study time<3
Not long after your friendship is formed, you both start to develop feelings for one another.
It’s actually you who confesses first! It was after you had been isolating for some time after being stressed about a paper with a steadily approaching deadline.
Thoma was worried and came to see you, bringing your favorite snacks with him.
“Hey, (y/n)? Are you alright? You haven’t been out of your house in days, people are starting to worry... I’m starting to worry.” 
“Not now Thoma, I need to finish this or everything I’ve worked for will be for nothing!” 
This starts an argument, not a bad one mind you- but an emotional one.
Thoma is trying to get you to see that he cares about you and that you need to take care of yourself.
You are trying to tell Thoma that you need to keep going because you want him to be proud of you.
“I’m already proud of you (y/n)! There’s no need to sacrifice your health for this!”
“But I want to be someone who you can say with full confidence you are proud of! Not some obligation between friends! Dammit I don’t even want whats between us to be labled as ‘friends!’ I want you to be able to say that I’m your capable lover, I want to be able to know that I won’t hold you back!” 
After that there’s silence.
You’re both stunned
You because you can’t believe you just said that, and him because he can’t believe you feel the same way.
He immediatley engulfs you in a hug, whispering words of praise and affection.
“You idiot. Why didn’t you tell me sooner instead of hurting yourseld like this.”
Needless to say things managed to sort themselves out from there :)
You two are quickly seen as the dream couple of Inazuma
You’re both so kind!
However if Thoma realises people are taking advantage of your kindess there will be hell to pay.
And same goes for if anyone comments on your style choice.
He even goes out of his way to have things made for you if you can’t find any shops that sell what you want in Inazuma!
Thoma is very aware of your tendancy to self isolated when things are tough.
Rest assured he will always keep a mental note on how long it’s been since he’s seen you.
Once it gets past 2 days- he’s marching over to your house in an instant with food in hand.
And no- You can’t stop him.
If you’re that worried about your work then he’ll help you pace yourself better, maybe even help with the work itself if he knows anything.
He also loves when you do his nails or makeup to match you! 
At first he wasn’t sure about the makeup, but a little bit of eyeliner and highlighter later and he was in love
he now wears eyeliner everyday, just like you taught him
Ayato teases him constantly
Overall it’s a very caring relationship where you both look out for eachother<3
Tumblr media
I hope you enjoyed! so sorry for the wait!
- Strawberry
