Hello, and welcome to aroace-autie-culture-is! I’ve been debating making this for a bit, and now I’m here!
This blog is for aroace autistic people, but you’re absolutely welcome to follow still even if you aren’t aroace or autistic! Inspired by all the other culture-is blogs out there, some of which I will tag at the bottom.
You can call me "A", and my pronouns are she/her.
I’m aroace, aegoromantic, anticarnal, diagnosed autistic, and I have generalized anxiety disorder NOS.
Rules and DNI beneath the cut. (UPDATED JUNE 29/2023)
Rules:
Start each ask with “aroace autie culture is…” “aroace autistic culture is…” or something along those lines. More specific terms are also allowed, for example: “trans aroace autie culture is…” “dyscalculic aroace autie culture is…” etc.
DO NOT send in ns*fw, exclusionism, racism, bigotry in general, etc, basically just be a decent person. This is a safe space and I may not be a minor but I’m still uncomfortable with ns*fw content (which you probably guessed earlier when I said I was anticarnal).
Please try to refrain from using swear words, terms for private body parts, etc. If it’s mild, I may decide to post it at my own discretion, but it’s best to just leave it out. Maybe if it’s necessary for the ask, just censor it.
I will use trigger warnings that I see fit, if there’s a specific trigger warning you want me to use let me know!
Read my DNI before interacting.

When the War in Heaven took its toll, decimating the Legions of Heaven, there was only one way to rebuild their numbers: The Ritual of Propagation.
To Aziraphale, it was simply a duty, a task the Archangels asked him to perform countless times.
But, an eternity later, Crowley sees something far darker and more sinister in the angel's stories.
Can Crowley help his husband acknowledge the abuse he suffered? And can they find away through the pain and trauma to start the family they both desire?
Today, I will be posting the final chapter of The Ritual of Proagation, the first story in my series “Aziraphale’s Children.”
(It hasn’t been posted yet; I just got back from a walk and am feeling a bit gross but soon!)
If you’ve been waiting for the final chapter before reading—here it comes!
A few caveats:
For those who missed it, this is a pretty heavy story. NS/FW, warnings for r*pe/non-con and for graphic violence (I feel the graphic-ness is borderline but the warning is still there just in case). There are also tags for, amongst other things, s*xual assault, dub-con, miscarriage, pr*gnancy and trauma. Please heed all warnings.
Includes both physical and metaphysical s*x. Aziraphale and Crowley are both mainly but not exclusively male-presenting, and use he/him throughout. (Many OCs use they/them)
As a result, this is technically mpr*g since agenderpr*g does not appear to be a thing?
For the purposes of this fic, all of the trauma happens in flashbacks. No guarantee that will be true in subsequent fics
Aziraphale and Crowley make poor decisions more often than they communicate properly.
I have this tagged as a happy ending, though depending on how you feel about some of the decisions made, you may disagree. So I shall expand: Aziraphale and Crowley are happy with where they end up, but still have a lot to work through, some of which they probably should have focused on sooner. That is why it is a series. (Seriously, I would have gone for a different ending if it was a stand-alone.)
Part 2 is currently in progress. It stands around 80k at the moment 😅 and needs a lot of edits. This should cover some of what’s “missing” from the final chapter of Part 1.
I’d originally envisioned this as a single Fic! Hence the odd endings (minimum of 4 parts I’m thinking).
Part 2 will still have a r*pe/non-con warning, and will still be heavy, but should have more light stuff mixed in, and be less unrelentingly dark.
Not sure yet if Part 2 will be a happy ending or not. Largely depends on where I decide to stop. The series as a whole has a happy ending.
I’ll get the final chapter up in a few hours! For now, the series starts here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32478325/chapters/80545228

After The Blight
A timeline of the Hero of Ferelden’s movements and notes about their activities after the end of the Fifth Blight
I just wanted to collect it together somewhere. Obviously it does not apply if the Hero performed the Ultimate Sacrifice, although sections of it will apply to Orlesian Warden-Commanders. This is a mixture of canon information, suppositions and headcanons (so it’s a mix of a reference post and personal notes about my own HoF). The latter two things are clearly marked as such. This post has been updated. (Tevinter Nights spoilers under cut)
9:30 Dragon - Fifth Blight begins.
9:31 - Fifth Blight ends, events of DAO end. The Fereldan reign or service to the crown of Queen, Prince-Consort and Chancellor HoFs begins. The HoF studies the Blight. There is an investigation effort into the darkspawns’ remaining secrets.
supposition: shortly after the coronation of Ferelden’s new monarch[s], the HoF answers the First Warden’s summons to Weisshaupt and travels there to report about the Blight. if the Dark Ritual was performed, they avoid mentioning it, despite the pertinent questions they are asked about why no Warden died killing the Archdemon. suspicions in the order abound 
supposition: if Avernus continued his research in some form, the HoF begins working with him around this time
personal headcanon: Dog never left HoF’s side after the Blight, because why would he? I know what it says about replenishing in the kennels, but that could easily be done during HoF’s many trips to Denerim
9:31, 4 months post Blight - Zevran has now begun his quest to dismantle the Crows, so romanced Zevran has most likely left HoF’s company by this point.
9:31, 6 months post Blight - Queen HoF marries Alistair in lavish ceremony. If Alistair was romanced, they then tour Ferelden. Prince-Consort HoF marries Anora in lavish ceremony.
note - The timings of the events in the expansion, DLCs and DA2 Act 1 are a bit squashed and inconsistent, which is why things in the upcoming segment get a bit janky
17th of Ferventis, 9:31, 6 months post Blight, post royal wedding - The Darkspawn Civil War/Amaranthine Conflict and the events of Awakening begin. The HoF had been promoted to Commander of the Grey, Ferelden’s Warden-Commander. They travel to Vigil’s Keep having been tasked by the order with rebuilding the Wardens’ presence in Ferelden and dealing with the remaining darkspawn plaguing the nation. Romanced Warden Alistair could not join them as he had been assigned to the Warden parties in charge of the Thaw Hunt (a hunt for remnant darkspawn pockets). Romanced Zevran could not join them as he was away hunting and being hunted by the Crows. Romanced Leliana could not join as she was summoned for an audience by the Grand Cleric.
supposition: HoF’s promotion was given to them during their time at Weisshaupt. it’s both a reward for their service during the Blight and a maneuver by the First Warden to capitalize on the HoF’s reputation and the post-Blight state of Ferelden (which was weakened and freshly appreciative of Wardens). the goal was to leverage the Wardens back into prominence and power in Ferelden
9:31, 12 months post Blight - This basically brings things into ~9:32. The Darkspawn Civil War/Amaranthine Conflict and events of Awakening end. If the Architect was spared, other Wardens in other nations are appalled, but the Wardens think the ensuing conflict between groups of darkspawn might make the Deep Roads safer. If the Architect was spared, HoF begins work of some kind with the intelligent darkspawn and has interactions with them in the coming years (in 9:37, Warden Nathaniel calls these darkspawn “The Warden’s allies” and mentions information these allies provided the Wardens with). Soon after what happened with the Architect, if Avernus continued his research in some form, HoF sends him information about the Architect.
personal headcanon: HoF names Nathaniel Howe their second-in-command. Nathaniel becomes Constable of the Grey, Warden-Constable of Ferelden
favored headcanon: HoF names romanced or befriended Warden Alistair their second-in-command. Alistair becomes Constable of the Grey, Warden-Constable of Ferelden
9:31 - If Avernus continued his research in some form, Hawke finds a very important set of Warden letters and documents from the HoF intended for the First Warden, on a dead body on the Wounded Coast in the Free Marches. HoF dispatched the messenger from Ferelden via Amaranthine to go to Weisshaupt by way of Kirkwall, possibly with the aid of an agent in Kirkwall. The courier was most likely dispatched from Vigil’s Keep. Something had happened that the HoF is concerned about and wanted to inform the First Warden of ASAP. Enclosed was a message from Avernus to the HoF. This message indicates that the HoF has been working and corresponding with Avernus to aid his research, including sending him shipments of supplies. Avernus’ research has made progress but also revealed some alarming implications, and he urged the HoF to inform the FW at once. 
supposition: “supplies” includes live subjects, as in sentient beings (Ghilan’nain would be proud)
supposition: due to everything with Avernus if he continued his research, it’s around now that seeds begin to be sown in HoF’s mind of finding a way to escape the Calling 
personal headcanon: the agent in Kirkwall is Varric Tethras, or one of his people. after all, he is an information broker, spymaster and someone who knows everyone
~9:31 - The events of The Golems of Amgarrak take place. HoF investigates Amgarrak Thaig after being invited to Orzammar by Jerrik Dace, on a search mission to find a lost expedition. Most likely takes place after Awakening because Jerrik sent a letter requesting aid to Vigil’s Keep.
personal headcanon: the HoF has contact here with House Tethras, who canonically funded Jerrik’s search mission
9:32, nearly 1 year after the Archdemon’s death - The events of Witch Hunt take place. HoF searches for Morrigan through the Korcari Wilds, Cadash Thaig, Kinloch Hold and the Dragonbone Wastes. If HoF romanced Morrigan, they may vanish with her through the eluvian. In some universes Kieran has now been born. For some HoFs, they now meet their son for the first time.
supposition: it’s now that Morrigan tells some HoFs about the leads she found that point to the western lands as a place where a cure for the Calling might be found. if HoF didn’t leave through the mirror, some HoFs may now find that the “gift” Morrigan left them along with the stolen Dalish book is information about these leads. do note that some HoFs are implied to have come into the knowledge without Morrigan’s involvement
supposition: 9:32, post Witch Hunt - It’s now that HoFs who romanced Zevan travel to Antiva to reunite with him for a time, their expansion and DLC-business being concluded. they do what they can to help him in his Crow quest
9:32 on, for a time - HoFs who romanced Morrigan, fathered Kieran and left through the mirror help Morrigan raise Kieran for a while. This goes on for a long enough time that the roughly ~10 year old Kieran clearly remembers his father in 9:41.
supposition: much of this family life took place in hidden, secret places, some of which are in Thedas ‘proper’ itself and some of which are in the Crossroads and places reached via the Crossroads
supposition [?]: 9:32 on, til leaving / ‘mysteriously vanishing’ in ~9:40 - HoF most likely based out of Denerim Royal Palace and/or Vigil’s Keep, being largely occupied in this period with the duties involved in being Queen, Prince-Consort, Chancellor and/or Warden-Commander of Ferelden. The former would involve such things as advising, often being seen at court, helping to rebuild Ferelden in the wake of the Blight, and resisting the influence/incursions Orlais attempt around this time. The latter would involve such things as recruitment, training, establishing bases, sending annual reports to Weisshaupt, scouting, clearing remnant darkspawn activity, rebuilding Vigil’s Keep and/or Amaranthine, overseeing the arling etc. It’s also likely that Warden business would take them to other parts of Thedas at times. Romanced Zevran and romanced Leliana both assist when they can with rebuilding the Wardens, without officially joining. Depending on HoF’s actions during the Darkspawn Civil War/Amaranthine Conflict, potential events such as a riot of common folk at Vigil’s Keep can occur here. HoF continuing to actively serve in the Wardens during this time probably isn’t just supposition due to how they and Warden Alistair can refer to their duties in 9:41. Still, there’s lots of space and flexibility in this period for headcanon, for example to include things from the ‘rumors’ and such listed at the end of this post.
supposition: HoFs who romanced Zevan are involved on and off as they are able in this time period with his Crow quest, helping when they can. “on and off” refers to their involvement in his quest, not their relationship. canonically around this period Zevran is known for high profile kills of Guildmasters and having some of the others in his pocket. by 9:34 he has 2 out of 7 Guildmasters in his pocket and has killed at least one other along with Eoman, 2 Grandmasters, and 4 other members of House Arainai
personal headcanon: HoF establishes Soldier’s Peak as a secondary and proper functioning Warden base in Ferelden, and it comes to rival Vigil’s Keep
personal headcanon: HoF grows increasingly dissatisfied with the actions and attitudes of the Wardens (primarily the First Warden and other leadership in the Anderfels) during this period, and in the later years begins to consider making a play for power and seizing the First Warden’s seat
~9:33, 1 year after Darkspawn Civil War/Amaranthine Conflict ends - If HoF saved the city of Amaranthine, it is finished being rebuilt. Relevant because it is part of the arling goings-on, which is currently in HoF’s hands.
personal headcanon: 9:34 - HoF visits their clan near Kirkwall, having sent word ahead to Merrill. HoF is able to see Merrill and Marethari again prior to Marethari’s death in Act 3. this ties in handily with the timeframe when Warden Stroud/Alistair passes through Kirkwall on a mysterious important Warden mission. HoF, in the company of this Warden party (which includes Warden Carver), meets Hawke and is reunited with Anders/Justice and Isabela. HoF meets their contact Varric in person for the first time
~9:36, 5 years after Darkspawn Civil War/Amaranthine Conflict ends - If HoF saved the city of Amaranthine, Vigil’s Keep is finally finished being rebuilt.
supposition: ~9:37 (dependent on when Hawke did MoTA) - Not long after Hawke kills Corpheus, HoF begins digging for information about him much like the DAI Warden contact. HoF is investigating rumors they had heard and found about him, being concerned that he would be able to jump host bodies on death like an Archdemon. This happens in romanced Warden Alistair worlds in tandem with Alistair, and I don’t see why it would be exclusive to those. This can technically occur anytime between 31 and 37, but 37 makes the most sense for this to happen, as I can’t see HoF sitting on Corypheus knowledge for almost a decade before he rose
9:37 - Queen HoF is at home in the Royal Palace in Denerim when King Alistair meets Hawke in Act 3.
supposition: Prince-Consort HoFs, Chancellor HoFs, HoFs who remained King Alistair’s paramour, HoFs who were friends with King Alistair and potentially some others are also at court in Denerim at this time, either visiting or in a less temporary manner, depending
9:37 - Hawke meets Warden Nathaniel and possibly their Warden sibling in the Deep Roads. The First Warden had ordered an investigation along Hawke’s Deep Road expedition route, as Hawke went further into the Roads than anyone believed possible and the Wardens are interested in the primeval thaig. The Wardens obtained directions from Bartrand and were prepared to do extensive excavations around the thaig using explosives.
supposition: HoF had some involvement in the above, for example overseeing, organizing and decision-making on a level more local than the First Warden’s initial order
personal headcanon: Hawke’s Warden sibling has been under HoF’s command in recent years
personal headcanon: 9:38 - HoF accompanies Alistair during the events of The Silent Grove, Those Who Speak, and Until We Sleep. these events canonically take longer than 3 weeks, probably ~2 months. their travels take them to Antiva City, the Tellari Swamps, Ventus, Seheron and the Fade. HoF is reunited with Sten and Isabela, and meets Maevaris
~9:40, before Cassandra interrogates Varric - HoF departs on their long-ass quest to the west to find a cure for the Calling. Romanced Zevran accompanies them. Their journey takes them far out of the areas where Corypheus is operating, to lands untouched by Blight. Cassandra initially seeks HoF now, but cannot find them, most likely because they’ve left. Romanced Leliana couldn’t go because Justinia called on her for help. Romanced Warden Alistair stays behind to investigate the mounting concerns in the Wardens with corruption in the ranks, Corypheus, Wardens disappearing and the false Calling.
supposition [?]: Awakening Warden companions that we’ve not heard from again - so Velanna, Sigrun and Oghren - accompany HoF on their quest, explaining why they haven’t resurfaced
personal headcanon: in the months prior, HoF began to grow concerned about stirrings of strange behavior in Warden ranks, much like the DAI Warden contact
9:41 - A letter arrives to Weisshaupt from the new Warden-Commander of Vigil’s Keep. Around this time Clarel is noted to have stopped writing to Weisshaupt.
supposition: there is a new Warden-Commander because HoF has now departed on their quest. the new one could be temporary in the interim or a permanent replacement. the new one is possibly whoever HoF promoted to Constable of the Grey / Warden-Constable of Ferelden, as Wardens of this rank are second-in-commands who step in when the Warden-Commander is away. [headcanon note here: if HoF had elevated Alistair to the position, it’s possibly now occupied by someone else given Warden Alistair soon goes into hiding after becoming concerned]
9:41, mid-Inquisition - It proves difficult, but Morrigan, Alistair or Leliana facilitate Inquisition contact with the HoF and an exchange of letters between HoF and the Inquisitor. HoF signs their letter “Warden-Commander”.
supposition: given how they sign the letter, it doesn’t seem that they have officially stepped down from the role yet. alternatively, a Warden can continue to use the title after stepping down, or this is an inconsistency. I think it’s most likely the new Warden-Commander in the Weisshaupt letter above is acting-WC at this time point
~9:44, post-Trespasser - HoF has returned from their quest to find a cure. If they romanced Leliana, they rejoin her. If Leliana is Divine, HoF is often seen at her side. If not, their respective responsibilities often keep them apart, but whenever they can they spend time together at a villa on the Waking Sea.
supposition: HoF didn’t come back until now, as they are not mentioned in the base game epilogue. their quest really took years
supposition: All HoFs return now, because why would only Lelimancers make it back?
supposition: HoF found a cure, given the fairly light tone in the romanced Leliana epilogues. if so, they probably step down from being a Warden, as Fiona was not allowed to remain in the Wardens after being cured
supposition: If HoF romanced Morrigan or Alistair or married Anora, they instead rejoin their respective LI, or LI and child in the case of Morrigan sometimes. Leliana, Morrigan and Warden Alistair as LIs in DAI all express the same sentiment of what amounts to “this time, when we rejoin one another, we intend to stay together”. romanced Zevran here was already with them, having gone on the quest
supposition: At this time point HoF clearly still has some continuing responsibilities of some form. work with the Wardens in an advisory capacity? ongoing service to the Fereldan crown? there’s lots of space and flexibility now for headcanon, for example to include things from the ‘rumors’ and such listed at the end of this post
supposition: It appears Leliana tells romanced HoF of the troubles to come (’for both saw the troubles that were to come’). presumably this is a reference to the Dread Wolf and related threats. I assume she would tell this to any HoF that she was good friends with
personal headcanon: the cure for the Calling is distributed to Anders and Carver. whether it’s distributed to all Wardens or made common knowledge to all Wardens is debatable
personal headcanon: HoF ‘takes care of’ some of befriended Divine Leliana’s enemies. I especially favor this headcanon with romanced Leliana
~9:44, post-Trespasser, probably into 9:45 - ‘The Bard’ reports a sighting of an unspecified Warden-Commander in an auctionhouse in Llomerryn, talking to disguised Divine Victoria. This Warden-Commander’s identity is left unstated, and this story of the Bard’s, or this part of the story, seems like it was made up.
supposition: this was made up and never happened, given the context. I do love the allusion to the apparent contact and scheming between HoF and romanced or befriended Divine Leliana, though
----------
There are also lots of things that the HoF was rumored or can be suggested to do post-game in the DAO and expansion epilogues. If desired, these could easily be woven into headcanons and stories to help fill the periods where there are large timegaps. You could also headcanon in HoF appearing with romanced Zevran and romanced Leliana at various timepoints when they resurface in the narrative, for example.
continue to have unspecified adventures and travels
travel with Sten to Par Vollen
travel with Wynne and Shale
dwarves: return to Orzammar, potentially Paragon duties
Mahariel: return to their clan
Tabris: potentially Bann of the Alienage duties
Cousland: return to Highever, help Fergus rebuild
and so forth

“The label is not in the business of reissuing the founder’s designs but iterating on them—from a distance. It’s been 16 years since Lang left the company, so what’s familiar now could be Old Lang or After Lang. It really depends on who is looking. “I think someone who’s 25 maybe doesn’t know Helmut Lang from back in the day, but they like [the brand],” observed one of the team members. “Why? I think it’s because Helmut Lang always designed things you could live your life in, like five-pocket jeans. We’re not following this other path a lot of fashion brands are going down, which is hype and fast and crazy. We’re giving you really accessible things that can always evolve every season, that you wear every day, but there’s something special to it. You can wear something Helmut from 1995 today; it will still look amazing. I think that was the magic that he had.”
//
Helmut is known for having redefined the 90´s fashion scene with his minimalist designs. He was the head of a movement that represented a generation of young artists in their mature phase, dressing them up with monochromatic garments while adding some fine technical touches with most of his pieces made out of common materials.
In this post we focus on his iconic ballistic vest, which was released within the SS 98 Collection. What made this piece stand out once it was presented is the fact that it is a technical garment which comes from a diametrically opposed world to fashion. Helmut transformed it, creating a subtle and elegant piece. The range of colors chosen for the vest is very sober, which has helped to build up the timeless image that characterizes this piece. Among them, we find black, olive green, white, white/navy, black/navy and navy/white. In the FW 98 Collection the vest also appears in an off-white version as well as in a silk grey finish.
//
“Quintessential minimalism” springs to mind when thinking of Helmut Lang, the namesake label of Austrian designer Helmut Lang. He is arguably one of the most influential designers of the last three decades (although Lang himself retired from fashion in 2005 to fully focus on his art career,) and his legacy still resonates across runways today. The iconic designer pioneered minimalism in the ’90s with his sharp-cut tailoring and androgynous, utilitarian pieces adorned with bondage straps and harnesses.
He introduced streetwear to high-fashion, invented the designer jean, modeled garments on bullet proof vests and was a trailblazer experimenting with technical fabrics, fabricating the military bomber jacket. He was also one of the first designers to show co-ed shows, and he broke new ground in 1998 as the first designer in history to stream a runway show online.
Lang created a new design language, changing the idea of what luxury is, and his oeuvre is still shaping fashion to date – inspiring everyone from Calvin Klein to Raf Simons and Kanye West, along with a string of streetwear brands.
Helmut Lang was born in Austria in 1956, and began designing in his hometown Vienna in 1977 despite lacking formal training. He first showed in Paris in 1986, which is also when he founded his label.
He later teamed up with the now legendary British stylist Melanie Ward (who had discovered and put a teenage Kate Moss on the cover of The Face in 1990), and she became his creative director and muse for 13 years, proving instrumental in ushering in the golden era of minimalism. They relocated to New York in 1997, and the already influential mover and shaker Lang decided to show ahead of the New York season, with other designers following suit, and because of this to this day New York designers show first.
Between 1990 – 1999 jeans, underwear, footwear/accessories along with perfumes were added to the brand, and Lang was the first in the fashion industry to place ads, as well as in National Geographic.
Then in 1999 Prada bought 51% of Helmut Lang, at a time when the company was doing about $100 million in revenue. But by 2004, that total had plunged to about $30 million, which – according to the New York Times – was a result of Prada cutting back on the profitable denim line. Lang left his own label in 2005, and Prada sold the company the following year to the Japanese Link Theory holdings.
Helmut Lang the label was in decline and saw several designers at the helm since Lang’s departure. The turning point came in 2017, when the label announced a relaunch to return to its former glory. Reverting back to the original logo along with a black and white campaign shot by Ethan James Green and a shiny new digital identity, the relaunch was spearheaded by Dazed and Confused’s editor-in-chief Isabella Burley. She was appointed as the first ever editor-in-residence, to oversee all creative aspects of the brand and tap individual designers for solo collections. The label also announced the “Helmut Lang Re-Edition” – authentic reproductions of some of the brand’s staple pieces – and fashion critics and fans all over the world rejoiced.
Shayne Oliver was the first one out debuting in September at New York Fashion Week that year with a diverse cast of underground models sporting gender-fluid silhouettes with bondage influences. He was followed by Mark Thomas (creative director of menswear and womenswear) and Thomas Cawson (creative director of Helmut Lang jeans) for two seasons, and together they have provided a contemporary take on the classic, minimalistic Helmut Lang-style from the ‘90s. Casting the likes of Kanye West and Solange Knowles for the Exactitudes campaign and tapping Travis Scott for a capsule collection has no doubt helped the label to reclaim its position at the forefront of fashion.
/
Precise, intriguing and quietly subversive, Helmut Lang's original output (1986-2005) is recognised as one of contemporary fashion's defining moments. Striking an extraordinary balance between modern tailoring, vintage militaria, cutting-edge streetwear and avant-garde conceptualism, Lang's influence continues to have a lasting impact among the fashion community today.
THEORY
Founded on the principle that a piece of clothing can—and should—be both comfortable and alluring, Theory creates styles lauded for impeccable fit with a modern point of view. Emphasizing superb craftsmanship, the brand's classic silhouettes are refined by current trends and interesting fabrics, resulting in pieces that wear well and remain relevant season after season.

Anon Request
Tumblr media
Hi! I’m incredibly sorry I got to this so late but I am so excited to get started on this, thank you for requesting! (Gifs are not mine)
Also warning, there may be the occasional swear words.
Mizuki:
Tumblr media
Alright, Mizuki is known for having some sort of obsession over things and people that he likes.
Especially when he deems them cute.
Especially x2 when he knows that that they’re here to stay with him.
So when he meets his s/o for the first time, he immediately notices your height first. I mean you’re so cute???
He also imagines you as his own personal pocket pet that humans are always gushing about? Like, he’s tempted to turn you into one of them.
Then he realizes that’s creepy and he’s not trying to do that since he’s learning from Nanami so…
He’s very bubbly and openly shows his enthusiasm whenever you come around the shrine with Nanami.
He absolutely loVeS the height difference between you and him. I mean, he’s 5'8 which he doesn’t consider very tall so to find a guy that’s shorter than him with looks to boot? He’s in.
He tries not to get overzealous when talking about his life story since he doesn’t want you to get scared of him.
He purposely left out the part where he trapped Nanami in his own God’s shrine but you knew anyway.
He likes to hold your hand and compare their sizes because he finds that interesting that yours may or may not be significantly shorter than his.
He teaches you how to play the flute in the most cringeworthy way possible like when he puts his fingers on top of yours while he’s behind you?
Yeah, cringeworthy but slightly sweet.
He loves to hover over you when you’re doing something like cooking or reading a book without you noticing just so he can scare you.
That little shit
He occasionally likes to scoop you into his arms for a hug and then randomly lift you up because he’s feeling extra that day.
Or maybe he just had a bad day.
Speaking of bad days, he always likes it when his s/o clings to him for a bit and reassures him that they’re not leaving since, again, attachment issues.
Mizuki, although obsessive at times, doesn’t actually get too jealous of when you hang around other guys or girls.
I mean, he wouldn’t like it if you spent more of your time with them than him but he’s not stingy with you, if that makes sense lmao.
But he definitely wouldn’t allow you to hang around Tomoe and Kurama too much. Having Tomoe’s scent on you is enough, he doesn’t need that crow’s scent on you as well.
I don’t know, apparently scent is important to him and his scent on you also sort of repels other demons and/or akashi from getting too close.
Kanato:
Tumblr media
Ok, hear me out.
Kanato is 5'4. I’m not saying there aren’t any guys under 5'4 but they’re rare to find
So if he does encounter any male below his height, he is immediately amused. (And somewhat interested, let’s be honest.)
If you aren’t, that’s ok. You still get his attention somehow. If you’re obnoxiously loud, your style is interesting, or you’re great in the art like writing or singing, you’ll get him interested to some extent.
I feel like Kanato is one of the last of the brothers to accept he’s even remotely interested in men in that regard. Like, borderline homophobic.
Honestly it probably stems from something incredibly superficial like he doesn’t find men, “conventionally cute.”
When he does eventually come to terms with it, he’d probably invite them over for a tea party with sweets and tea.
Given that it would be you playing butler because he’s suddenly found of having a cute guy serving him.
He’ll be the type of guy to ask you out by threatening you so…not entirely romantic but if you like the dude, I won’t judge.
The relationship is not so toxic(?) It’s just where one is more high maintenance than the other and so you kinda have to bend over backwards a lot.
I mean, he does like you but it’s just different? He either can’t show it properly or does not show it at all.
Admittedly, there are times where he just disregards teddy’s existence in exchange for cuddling you when he’s tired.
You also coax him into sleeping earlier so you could cuddle. (He’ll complain and thrash about like a child but he does it less the more you ask.)
He enjoys your body temperature way too much.
Might even sneak in a little nibble since he liked your warmth way too much to the point he wanted to feel more.
Plus, your size makes it perfect for him to cuddle you. To him you’re not too big and not too small, just right for him.
It will probably take a while before you can actually kiss him or anything.
When it does happen though, expect it to be messy and maybe one or two of his brothers peeping in his room to watch you two.
They’ll probably photograph that, just saying.
Tamura:
Tumblr media
Warning, slight ns¿fw ahead
Lmao, you gave me the power of choice so here he is. (This entire post will probably get taken down because of this gif ffs.)
Since he’s gay in canon, or just generally is comfortable with guys in every sense of the word, I thought he’d be the most likely love to have a short s/o.
I feel like Tamura is the type of guy that absolutely loves anyone shorter than him and will tease the ever loving shit out of them. If they’re quiet and reserved or really loud, outgoing and a tease, you’ve probably got yourself a blue-haired shark after you.
He’s also a tsundere type so he definitely won’t be the one to initiate any type of conversation between you two.
Of course, let’s say you came to their, “after school club” during visiting hours, he’d be super over-protective because he feels like you probably didn’t know what their club was for.
And now that the other members know who you are, they won’t leave you alone since they know for a fact their little Tamu likes you.
Toono is probably a great friend for you since you’re in the same class.
So is Yaguchi.
You’ve known Yaguchi since you were kids so you know the real, “Yacchan.”
You also know Kashima which is pretty cool for you since he’s a great friend and confidant but not so cool for poor Tamu-chan.
If you do like Tamura, it would be an interesting scenario for the rest of Yaribu to witness.
You like Tamura and are jealous of Yacchan while Tamura likes you and is jealous of Kashima.
You hang around Kashima mainly because you’re both pretty new to the whole, “liking boys” scene and tell each other your insighits.
Tamura has no excuse to talk to you but with the help of Toono and Kashima, they both secretly pull the strings to make you see each other more than before.
When you do start going out, it’s a little hard for him since he wants to be loyal to you but he kind of needs to do his business in the club.
But if you assure him it’s fine, he’ll be wary but at least he has your consent.
He kind of abstains from sex? He probably only uses toys now on others instead of actually giving them a good pegging.
If it does start to get a little out of hand, like Tamura still doesn’t serve for the club properly, Akemi will probably force you to be recruited.
He doesn’t really like initiating a lot of the romantic or affectionate stuff but he does like it when you give him little kisses here and there throughout the day
or quick hugs,
Or just a simple affectionate touch on his face to assure him that the day will pass by fast and you’ll see him later.
There would definitely be a time where his s/o told them they’d have, “a fun time” when they got to their dorms.
Turns out they were just going to watch a movie.d
Is Tamura disappointed? Yes.
But will he wait until you’re ready? Fuck yeah.
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
Thank you for requesting! This was so fun to write but it’s my first time writing for male readers. Feel free to critique it if you find something too off and I’d be glad to change it.
Requests are open folks!

Spoonbender Society: Selected Schizoepistles
FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE:
We Live In A Society
People say we live in a democracy/democratic republic, a form of government intended to amplify what people think and address problems they find to be important. But it doesn’t ever seem to function that way.
The issue is in voter suppression, but as always not in the way people generally think voter suppression works. The issue is psychic, spiritual, and social suppression of citizens. Systemic over-development of senses of rationalization, neuroticism and anxiety, industrially incentivized narcissism.
People develop a deathly fear of what others think, or may think, or what they may have thought about them or what they think, what they may think, or what they may have thought.
A democracy where we’d rather not hear what other people have to say, because we find their thoughts offensive and retarded. That’s one thing people are happy to share. But because we suspect that there are so many offensive retards in the world, we fear... "Perhaps I’m a retard too?" You wonder that even for just a second in your life, if you have a soul. It’s OK to be a retard really, but you’ll never believe that it’s OK, and that's probably What Your Fucking Problem Is.
The opinions of us purported non-retards, to avoid sounding like complete retards, end up soft, ambivalent and stale, phrased like True Neutral Orgasm in Ego-Death Nirvana, but less Chad, less gratifying, and nobody cums. To not be reminded of the possibility of our own retardation, we like to pretend that if the retards just shut up and nobody can hear them, they go away. If they are Physically Removed from our presence, their evil thoughts and their malicious intentions will go away with them. We win. But they don’t. They never do.
We always fail to Psychically Remove them. We lose.
We can hypothesize a law of conservation of hatred, correlate one too of love, but the truth is banal. How can it be in light of our timeline? Why are these Hate Groups all over the place? Hitler’s corpse is rotting or burned to a crisp, or embalmed in a tomb or made a toilet for Some Rich Dude ((parenthetical removed)). (Or was he cloned?)
Great Fatherland Germany - defeated by the "untermensch" and partitioned like a cheese between rats. That Great "Faustian" and "Supreme" "Aryan" Race is subjugated by the hated "Juden" and all the "vermin" of the world, humiliated, castrated to be reunited a shadow of its former self. Yet the Nazi threat is omnipresent nearly a century later, in an era which may be an alien planet to those who lived in Hitler’s time.
How is it that the Great Allies, our fathers and grandfathers, achieved such total victory over so loathsome a foe, so unsympathetic and vile, only to see his Evil infect their own countrymen and posterity? How can something so thoroughly defeated still persist in what could be our neighbors or our co-workers our bosses or our employees? Each one could be a secret Nazi now. In parenting blogs moms worry that their children are becoming Nazis from goofy men they see in videos on line. Marriages are ending in divorce because the husband or wife is allegedly or apparently a Nazi. How could this happen?
Have you ever seen “The Matrix? Who hasn’t? You know all about the red and blue pills, and all the rainbow-flag DLC that it comes with, black and pink and green and brown and in configurations invisible to the human eye, I’m sure. If you don't know, the pills are portals to different realities. Take the black pill and you only see death, take the white pill and everything’s alright, take the blue pill you vote for Hillary, take the pink you become genderqueer. But this is not about taking any pills. This is about going off your meds. Going straight edge - except for whiskey, cigarettes, cocaine and pussy. It’s about the spoon - no, not for shooting up. It's for bending - with your mind. Remember? That spoon - The Spoon That Isn’t There.
That spoon is a Nazi.
If you are aware that there is no spoon you can tie it into knots. You can make it into a balloon animal. That Nazi Spoon could be a Jewish Socialist from Vermont, or a kosher Brooklyn Zionist, or a Dominican Taxi Driver. It could be an evil copy of your own son from Bizzaro World. It's probably your uncle. It could be Rottweilers, and Chihuahuas. Whether Pitbulls are Nazis or Jews/Blacks is an ongoing debate in the contemporary discourse.
But imaginary shit can be whatever the hell you want. You don’t have to be "The One" to Bend the Spoon. You don’t have to be anyone at all. What was the name of the kid who said the line about the spoon again? Nobody knows, nobody cares, and that's the beauty of Spoonbending.
"The Nazi" is the guy who keeps talking when he should shut up. He might be autistic, but he could just be an asshole. There is a strong possibility he could be both. Why does he keep saying all of this ridiculous stuff? He’s more offensive and more retarded than the usual, but it feels like He Has To Be This Way. Like it’s his curse, He Knows Too Much. He fell down some rabbit hole and ended up gorged on Fascist Propaganda. He mentions some girl named Celine. He rambles on about some guy you’re pretty sure is a Tekken character... the guy who turns into the Devil maybe. He mentions a vacation in Turkey with his family but insists on saying Constantinople and there’s a wild-man tear in his eye. He insists he knows about Atlantis and calls you gay for saying you liked Aquaman. Instead of saying goodbye he says “Subscribe to Pewdiepie.” The Nazi belongs in an institution. You wonder if he has guns and if maybe he should have them taken for a while. He probably doesn’t, but you can’t be sure. He’s 12.
When is it too early to become a school shooter? Is 12 too early to be an incel?
12 is probably the age at which incels hatch from their human hosts.
“Who is Pewdiepie, and how has he groomed my nephew into the Hitler Youth?” many families today are asking. They think they’re looking at a spoon. Conditoning fills your heart with a desperate desire to see the spoon. A fact, pure fact, logical, reasonable, peer reviewed, widely accepted, So True, a Textbook Fact. The spoon. Everyone else sees it too. That goddamn Nazi Spoon.
You ever try to ask this at a party as an ice-breaker and see how the guests react?
“So, anyway, was The Holocaust Real?”
“Excuse me, what?”
“What do you think, was it real, how many people do you think died, don’t the gas chambers sound goofy to you?”
”Um… no… they don’t sound goofy. What are you talking about?”
“You ever hear about the Nazi Roller-coaster they had at one of the camps? They’d put Jews into a roller-coaster except they’d fly off the edge and get splattered. That’s how the Nazis killed ‘em. I swear. I read it in a book by a Holocaust Survivor. Impossible to believe if it weren’t so True. No shit. You hear about that?”
”I’m… gonna get another beer.”
Of course there’s a Correct answer to that initial question. It’s also the Right answer. Who would ever get this wrong? It's the 2+2=X of History. Well…
Pop-Quiz, Random Nazi Check, Anybody here Hate Jews? You a Groyper, Son? What’s so funny? You think the Cookie Monster committing genocide is a laughing matter boy? We don’t take kindly to your kind around here.
Maybe you should give the Nazi-check thing a try, it’ll separate sheep and goat real easy for you.
If you do this everyone will think you are The Nazi.
The Nazis hated Jews, but did they hate real Jews as Jews exist, or did they hate the Fascist Propaganda Jew who was a work of fiction? On that note, were you in love with your last failed relationship, or just pretending you were? Have you ever had one impression of a person, but then learned they were another kind of person entirely? That first impression you had, the one that wasn’t True, was that a Real Person, or Imaginary? But you still spent all that money and sweat on an imaginary girl, huh?
Hope her hole was real.
I think that fake bitch of an ex you dated was a nazi. Your ex was a fascist. Oh, was she Jewish? It doesn’t matter, changes nothing. I’ve never met her - wouldn't matter if I did. When I imagine her, she's in Hugo Boss black and got skull-and-bones on her officer's cap, and she's saying racial slurs as she ruins your life, cheats on you, drains your bank account and kills your dog after getting custody over it in court. I imagine all bad people this way. All women who rejected me were exactly like this.
But I must breach working-class anti-fascist solidarity, and admit, on That Question ("Would you?").... Yeah, I would. Sorry bro. Take me away Comrades, I admit it, I'd give it to that Nazi Jew raw. Would I do that to her as she exists, or the Fascist Propaganda her who is a work of fiction?
That depends. You still got her number?
haha it's ok you can call me an incel, it's a step up from what i actually am
(User was banned for this post.)
The Nazi and the Fascist aren’t my hallucinations. That’s not my mental illness. But it’s adjacent to me, it’s thrown at me without my Consent, and it's a Trigger. I'm paranoid about commies myself.
In the multicultural cyberpunk year of 2019, with its trans-human gender-sex-orientations, anti-racist ethno-narcissism, fanatic anti-normalism, cultish critical theory intersections, grand byzantine minimalism, placidity, in such splendid predatory banality… In the absolute state of the world! – Aah! An undead ideology conceived by a salty Frenchman in the badlands of South Dakota in the 1890s shambles forth the devour all that is Good and Holy in the Great United States of AmeriKKKa, God Help Us All! And A Child Will Lead Those Dreadful Legions of Corruption Upon All The Meek Of Our Fallen World!
Or it’s just a spoon that isn’t real.
Nobody wants to be straight-forward, and I gotta navigate the labyrinths of euphemism. Maybe there's something weird going on - how people talk, how people act, how people think, none of those correlate to each other. It makes you feel schizo when you do all your mental rain-man calculus and realize there's a fucking Elephant in the living room and he's not wearing any goddamn pants. Once that little ray-of-sunshine blesses your tiny bug-man brain to enlighten you that the elephant is real, and the spoon isn't, it's only a matter of time before you're crowned in tinfoil a Potato King on your off-grid Bug-out estate in the Idaho Panhandle, or start drinking yourself to death and bullying mailmen (or both).
If you'd like to avoid that sort of Elephant-Mania Spoon-denialism, maybe you should try answering Uncomfortable Question instead of being so Weird about it, oh wise Mr. Kirk, Mr. Shapiro, Mr. Talking-Head, Mr. Important-Guy, Mr. Movement, Mr. Politics, Mr. Voice of Reason, Mr. Metatron. Take it from a schizo-maniac with a manifesto, you’re freaking out the hoes.
Try Praeger U talking points out on a Tinder date and watch her shrivel up from instathot to instahag -- she will go through menopause before your very eyes, that's how dry her pussy will get. Trying not to sound racist while talking about the Antarctic Nazi base and the importance of craniometry in ethnocultural anthropology will get you more action than anything that sounds like a paraphrase of Charlie Kirk -- because even if you're still being cringe at least you aren't being fake. Point and laugh at that fucking elephant - the moron isn't even wearing pants! That'll get her thinking about taking your pants off. Or not - it's not foolproof. If she doesn't laugh, red-flag, she's a Nazi so Begone Thot!
Please, for the love of God, go off-script! See the damn elephant and forget the spoon, and forget the wise Mr. Kirk, Mr. Shapiro, Mr. Talking-Head, Mr. Important-Guy, Mr. Movement, Mr. Politics, Mr. Voice of Reason, Mr. Metatron. Take it from a schizo-maniac with a manifesto, you'll go insane if you don't.
[. . . ] [T]hen there's that neuroticism, that narcissism, that fear. The whole point of these politics groups and gatherings and Q&As is what, anyway? Is it really just basic marketing tactics, like a live-action advertisement you expect for people to passively consume as though it is persuasive? To shove free-markets and free-speeches down my throat and have me swallow it without having anything that’s been bothering me answered? What do I look like to you, an Ideology Whore? You don't even reciprocate a good time, huh? I'm not that kind of girl. You didn't even buy me dinner. You made me pay to bore me. I'd cuck you if we dated just to make a very important point -- fully aware it'll go over your head. Fuck you.
We gotta hear The Script. We gotta recite The Script.
Real Conservatives Think Like This. Real Progressives Think Like This. White People Walk Like This. Black People Walk Like This.
Gotta hear that joke ten thousand times so you can recite it like a mantra in your sleep.
Free markets mean free people. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Private Companies can do what they wish. What you do in your bedroom is your own business. We want legal immigration, not illegal.
Abolish ICE. Your childhood hero says Trans-Rights. Do you not want me in the movement? Abolish whiteness.
The Racism of Lowered Expectations.
Reparations.
A white nation.
Workers of the world unite!
Abortion is a human right.
Have you got it memorized?
Let’s go over it a few more times.
Say it with me! Hillary was found innocent in a hundred hearings and it is sexist to besmirch her reputation.
Repeat after me! Trump’s economy is the best in history, and if he's racist why is black unemployment is at historical lows.
You benefit from unearned privilege. You suffer from toxic masculinity.
The world is about to end and everything you know and love will die, and it is your fault, for not believing in the correct things at the correct time.
Are you laughing yet?
I’m dying. I feel like an e-girl, and my orbiters are sides.
But do you wanna know what I really think? The whole bit about psychic and social suppression? You ever hear about the Procrustean bed? Well, what if we put your political, social, moral consciousness and your psychic abilitys into a bed like that. We could talk about it. You ever play Xenogears?
Or you could just put me in a box. I really wouldn't mind. I'm Houdini. Hey, was Houdini a Nazi, like Henry Ford? Can we get a fact-check? I didn't mean to be problematic.
Break the Conditoning - Step outside the box, and use it as a step ladder. Ascend, Beyond the Box - use The Spoon.
Bush did 9/11, the Israeli’s danced, the Aliens killed JFK - sure - but I only say this because of my MK Ultra Schizo-brain. It’s true, it’s false, it’s fact, it’s myth, I don’t have to believe any of it -- I also don't have to believe any of you if I don’t want to. My feelings do not care about your facts, and did you know that some of the world's most uncomfortable facts are manifested into being by uncomfortable feelings? Is it the fact of the bullet that kills the political dissident, or the feelings of his executioner? Is it the deranged lust of the rapist that violates his victim, or the fact of his power to do so? I guess it depends on whether the perpetrator said "nothing personnel kid" before he committed the act. I don't know about that Nazi Rapist's feelings, but MY feelings are valid and I can believe or disbelieve whatever I want on the basis of my feelings, and my feelings alone. My feelings bend the spoon of your facts.
Are you going to say I don’t have the right, Adolf? Sucks for you, bud, I may be a commie by blood, but the heart that pumps it was assembled in the ole USA -- and we got the Right to be a Retard here in America. It's a Free Country.
[Note: please insert image of Jonathan Frakes from Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction]
Now that the dust has settled: Was the Nazi Roller-Coaster Real? Or did we put the Truth in a Mass-Grave? We will let you know at the conclusion of our program.
Sincerely and Full of Suffering Your Friend Always, Orcbrand

A Question and a Comment.
Jake Goldwasser, a cartoonist whose Case you may have read a while back, asked me a question on Instagram the other week:
Tumblr media
I asked him what order he was doing his linework/coloring, and he told me that he was doing his outlines with the ink first, and then using his alcohol-based markers to color them in. I told him he might want to reverse the order he was he was doing this, because if he used the markers first, the alcohol would evaporate, and he’d theoretically have no problems with it smudging the ink. 
I then asked him if I could share his question with the folks who read Case, in hopes of seeing if anyone else had anything to add (hence this post). Since then, he has experimented with various inks and markers, but I still wanted to hear if anyone else had better advice than what I gave him. If so, please feel free to comment on this instagram post! 
I figured that if he has this question, other people might as well. Besides, isn’t it comforting to hear that even published cartoonists have questions? I think this might have to become a series on here.
Moving along, as folks who read this blog probably remember, the most recent New Yorker cartoonist who had a query on here was Roz Chast, who was searching for her perfect pen. On Case’s Instagram, I posted a bit from her piece where she mentioned destroying a Mont Blanc pen by filling it with FW ink. Tom Cheney (you can find him on Instagram here), whose wonderful Case appeared on here late last year, came to the rescue with this ingenious method to prevent such destruction, which he graciously said I could post on this blog:
Tumblr media
He later informed me that he meant the Speed Ball “Super Black” ink rather than the “Black Magic” ink.
Tom’s response is my favorite kind! I love when people get into the technical terms and come up with homemade contraptions. Sometimes, it’s not about having the perfect tool, but rather the conditions we create in order to better use what we already have. 
There are more exciting Cases coming up soon!
In the meantime, I thought I’d make use of Tumblr’s new giant letter font to subtly mention A Case for Pencil’s Patreon.  
If the jumbo font only shows up in the Tumblr news feed, rather than on Case itself, maybe the confusion over what I could possibly be talking about will catch your attention instead!
If you prefer a one time PayPal sort of deal, there is a Ko-Fi account here! This blog is a labor of love, and your support is extremely helpful!
You can also find Case on Instagram and Twitter. You can find me on Twitter as well, where I share my own art fairly often, though I understand if you’d prefer not to put a face to the ghostly figure behind this blog! Hope you’re having a great week!

next gen november is ON!
WELCOME TO THE YEAR 2037, 18 years into the future
It’s been a minute since we had any kind of AU week around here, so what do we do when we decide to have one again? Make it last a whole damn MONTH.
Tumblr media
Hey guys! Kina here, making an informal post bc I’m not about to mod but I absolutely will be mom friend. We’ve all been a little busy and haven’t really known how to properly kick off this AU month, so I figured I’d kickstart it with an announcement post as well as some tips I figured I’d share. Obviously nothing I have to say here is bible and everyone can do whatever they want but I figured I’d help solve some things abt how all this is gonna work. So if you’re interested in that, feel free to click the read more, otherwise let’s get this party started!
Tumblr media
OK SO obviously with the way we have our group set up these days, there’s a lot of room for confusion already, so adding an AU could make it even harder to navigate LMFAO but it’s NOT GONNA BC WE GONNA SOLVE PROBLEMS BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE THEM! Which, I mean, isn’t really hard bc we all know how to behave around here, the dumb bitches have been removed from the situation for years now and we all know how to treat each other, so most of this is just about the mechanics of things. 
1 - NUMBERS
Tumblr media
This AU is 18 years into the future, making it November 2037. For some perspective: Any babies that were born this year are 18 years old, and any that will be born within the next year will be 17. Characters that just turned 21 will be 39. If someone is 30, they are now 48 for a month. So basically, a lot of the kids will now be young adults and our current young adults will be middle-aged. Wild, right? 
1 - THE KIDS
Tumblr media
It’s gonna be expected for the kids of our characters to be plotted and probably even played some. That’s part of why we chose the time lapse that we did, so that we can get a look into the futures of Chaplin Cove’s next generation. Some will already be in their 20s, some will be teenagers, and some will still just be little—which is cool, because these would be the character babies that we’d never get to see in canon time or more recent future weeks. 
Being that we’ve posted as literal children on the dash in future weeks, I think it’s safe to say that any of the kids of the group can make posts and be RPed as. I doubt we’re going to want to involve ourselves in things like the dating lives of next gen characters (aka it feels fucking weird to rp stuff about s-e-x for the older versions of characters that are usually babies in the canon time, and it’s especially weird if said character isn’t 18+ yet so ABSOLUTELY don’t do that) but there’s nothing wrong with giving them plots, writing as them like they’re playable characters, etc. I think that’s always part of the fun of FWs. 
Oh, and unless it’s otherwise discussed among RP partners, I think it’s safe to assume that anyone who plays the parent of a next gen character is “allowed” to post as them during this AU. Hell, both partners can if they want to. Why the fuck not, really, it’s not like we do that dumb ~i play the mom so i automatically am the one that gets to play them~ shit LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
3 - FACECLAIMS
Tumblr media
When it comes to our canon characters that are all now in their late 30s and 40s, It could be fun to use older FCs instead of the usual ones. However, since we all have so many OCs and don’t even know if we’re going to be using them all this month, it could also feel like big pressure to find suitable older FCs for all or even any of our characters. That being said, just do whatever you want here and don’t let it stop you from posting on the dash/enjoying the week. If you found someone that works, great! If you can’t find anyone or don’t want to bother, great! If you start off the month using the usual FC but later on find someone that works and use them for the rest of the month, great! This is just a fun added detail that should only be used for fun and not for added stress. Pls don’t worry if you can’t or don’t want to do this. 
When it comes to our next gen characters that are usually just kiddos and will now be full on people, probably talk with your RP partner about the face claim(s) of your kid(s). Even if it’s just like, hey what’s up I’m gonna make a post as our kid and I think I’m gonna use this fc, what do you think. Just something, no one should claim a shared kid without consulting their RP partner first. 
Oh, and across the board, faceclaims are totally allowed to repeat. We even do that with canon stuff now so don’t even worry about it. IMO this even means that you can use FCs of canon characters to represent next gen characters if you want. Don’t worry about anyone being “taken”. 
4 - MULTI-VERSE/MULTI-SHIPPING
Tumblr media
Since we do multi-everything around here, there’s no reason why we can’t multi-everything but +18 years. The same way we just kind of respect other canons and know who would and would not be involved in what versions of an OC’s life, just keep doing for next gen. No one should have to feel left out for any reason, it should all just be fun, who cares, etc. etc. If anything gets confusing just talk with your RP partner(s) about it!
ALSO this means that characters that exist in more than one timeline may be different from one version of their AU to the next! In fact, they probably will. They may or may not have the same jobs, the same housing situation, same older FC, etc. but they may also be entirely different people (with different kids, who will probably be participating on the dashboard). Basically just do what you want to do with your characters and pay attention to everyone else’s. Talk with each other if anything seems confusing or not right.
That just kind of goes for everything, really: talk with each other if anything seems confusing or not right!
5 - GETTING STARTED
Tumblr media
Since everything is taking place in a vastly different universe than the current canon, it probably feels weird to just dive right in, especially since not everybody knows what your characters are doing. If it makes you feel more comfortable or organized, feel free to post brief summaries about any characters you want that let us know what they’re up to (I say brief because I don’t expect anyone to wanna write whole bios about their future OCs, but if you want to, go for it!). You can also just make posts that give exposition about your characters, like an IG picture that shows their future FC and gives some tidbits about their current job/life/etc., or a starter that has some info about what they’re up to on it, you get the gist. Just include any context you think the group would need to know. Also, make sure to respond to other people’s posts; anyone putting effort in is important and should be interacted with! 
6 - JUST SOME CLOSING THOUGHTS

We should probably all tag our posts for the au. We usually do, and as usual, everyone can do whatever tagging system works best for them, and it will help keep everybody on the  same page (and make us remember that the dashboard is currently 18 years into the future). It also helps in case anyone has anything they want to post during this month that actually takes place in canon time, because those posts wouldn’t say anything about taking place in the AU. 
Also since it’s already a week into November and we haven’t done much, I’m sure we can shave some time off the beginning of December if we want to maximize our time in the AU. Alternatively, if we find ourselves over it and ready to go back to the canon by the time November is wrapping up, we can just end it there too. We can regroup to talk about it towards the end of the month, guage what everyone’s feeling.
And finally, don’t be afraid to post even if you don’t have everything figured out!!!!!!!!!! You can use only one character at a time if you want, figure it out as you go, make things up on the spot, w/e. But remember that this is supposed to be fun so don’t keep yourself from having a good time because you’re hyperfocused the details of everyone’s futures. It’s all an AU anyway, I tend to do these AUs knowing that things could be completely different by the time we do the next one based on things that will happen in the canon or between roleplayers along the way. We tend to make our future weeks set as like, the future that exists given things the way they are now, not necessarily set in stone in any way. So just remember that and don’t worry. Your character can be a serial killer this AU and then one day later down the road you decide to make her a CEO instead. It doesn’t matter, it’s all pretend, pls just have fun I beg of u all.
And so concludes my lil breakdown. If anyone has anything else they need to figure out, feel free to bring it up to me or anyone personally or hell just drop it in the gc. Otherwise, now it’s party time!

Friday, November 17th, 2017 - Zuriel Merek Shines at The Palace Theatre During Breathtaking Performance Celebrating the Release of ‘The Tao Less Traveled’
Zuriel Merek. The violinist became somewhat of renowned figure through being in some notable D-FW-based bands and sharing the stage with some talented vocalists from the area. His ability to improvise (when necessary) helped to make him a highly sought musician; often being a right-hand man, so to speak, in whatever project he was a part of. More recently Merek has gone the solo route, and can be found playing venues all across North Texas, though his show on this particular night was going to be a bit different. After several years spent working on original pieces and recording them, Merek was ready to release his debut album. No longer the right-hand man, he was ready to step out underneath the stage lights as the center of attention, in a way he never had thus far during his lengthy career as a performer. This was no doubt going to be a different show. One not truly suited for the clubs or bars of Deep Ellum or Fort Worth, the neoclassical vein of music that Merek explores requiring something more unique. A place that would make the show less of an event and more of an experience. The Palace Theatre provided just such a setting. Located in the heart of downtown Grapevine, the restored 1940’s era theatre would act as an elegant room that was behooving of the music that would fill its showroom this night. Boasting 400+ seats (including a balcony area), filling it would be a challenge for anyone, even for a monumental occasion such as releasing a record. There really wasn’t much time to speculate just what kind of turnout there would be, though, the opening act, Classically Jazzed, ultimately performing to a nearly full house.
With the exception of the first few rows, there didn’t seem to be an empty seat in the house, proving just what a dedicated following Merek has amassed over the years. The age range was significant, demonstrating what a wide appeal his music has, everyone wanting to come out and share in this milestone moment of his. It began as Merek emerged from the wings and strolled over to the center of stage right, something that seemed to go unnoticed by some of the guests who were still utilizing the intermission, chatting with friends and unaware that anything was about to happen. The chatter was muted by the musician’s violin, as he proceeded to loop much of what he was doing. He would later explain the process for anyone who was unfamiliar. It was a sort of way to bridge the old into the new. This marked Merek’s first time to perform with a band accompanying him, though they were yet to be seen. Everyone was instantly enraptured by the delicate and heavenly sounds as he worked on creating the various parts of “Levity”, the lead track from The Tao Less Traveled. It served as a spectacular opening number that set the tone for the evening, radiating a sense of hope and optimism; and after a couple of minutes, it reached its peak as Merek’s five-piece backing band assumed their spots. “Thank you,” was the violinists’ response to the fanfare that erupted, as he began chatting with the audience, noting how, in a way, he had been preparing for this moment for his whole life. “…Here I am, thirty-three, playing in a Palace!” he exclaimed after acknowledging that he never imagined himself being where he was, playing music for a living. You could see the amazement in his eyes. Excitement coursing through his voice as he uttered those words, a bit shocked and overwhelmed by joy, thanks to the number of people that had turned out. At times, there was a bit of a storyteller’s element to the performance, as Merek discussed the tales behind some of the songs; the spectators listening intently to what he had to say. That included an honest story of teenage angst, Merek describing the latter part of his youth and into early adulthood, as he struggled and challenged some of the beliefs he had grown up with. “…I think that’s something most of us struggle with…” he added, referring to how many people probably do as he had done: battle in silence with where their faith lies, or even lose it altogether. That conversation revolved around Father Jim, whom Merek said had helped him through those times. “Absolution” was dedicated to him. The stirring piece ebbed and flowed magnificently; the musicians finessing the crowd as it went along. At its most intense moments it was absolutely stunning, the band helping transform it into a beast of a song. When Merek used an effects pedal to transform his violin from more of a traditional and classical-esque instrument into something supercharged that rivaled anything that would spew out of a guitar, then Medrick Greely proceed to hammer out the beats. His moves were somewhat standard, though the devastating force that he packed into every beat throughout the show was incredible. It provided a solid backbone to the songs and made them feel livelier; while the keys, manned by John Melton, sounded impeccable on that number and accented the violin splendidly. That flawless performance earned Merek and his group more deafening cheers and applause as they got to what wound up being another explosive number. “Mi Piaci” was where the man of the hour really seemed to get into the zone, settling in to a comfortable confidence as he worked his magic once the track reached its climatic point. Thus ended the first portion of the performance, a formal introduction of everyone on stage with him serving as the dismissal for his band for the time being, as he took on the solo role that he’s more accustomed to. “…No, this isn’t a giant iPod I have down here,” laughed Merek as he explained the looping process, wanting to make certain those unfamiliar with it didn’t think he was relying on tracks or something so basic. It was then, over the course of the next four songs, where things got truly interesting. Interesting because of the process that live looping entails. It’s one thing for a musician or a band to play something and hold peoples’ attention when they’re doing it straight through, though what Merek does is so much more detailed. Not only does he have to keep people entertained by the music, he has to do it while setting up the music. Every song required him to lay a foundation before he ever even got to a point where the covers would be recognizable to the onlookers; the intricate process finding him not just using the bow, but also plucking the strings of his violin. Everyone was unwavering, keeping their eyes glued to the stage, mesmerized by what he was doing. He commanded the audiences’ attention, no one even being able to think of turning away. The string of covers provided a little bit of everything; Merek’s rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” seeming to be the most demanding of the bunch, at least based on the deep exhale he made upon finishing it. It was gorgeous; and once it was done, he elaborated on what an appropriate metaphor looping instruments seemed to be for living life, the gist of it being that no matter how you envision something and how much you plan and prepare for it, it’s bound to transpire somewhat differently, so the best you can do on the fly is just improvise. If there was any improvising this night, Merek played it off masterfully… which would further speak to his chops as an improve musician. The show appeared to be flawless, though. Even when things became slightly more complicated by introducing other performers into the mix. Olivia Cole sung the only song of the set that featured vocals, the duo exuding that wonderous spirit that defines “Pure Imagination”. During the following “spicy Latin song” (it was “Despacito”), Merek was joined by a couple of dancers performing their own Latin-infused dance number, which the music complimented quite well. The visual stimulation made the song all the better, the dancers themselves putting a lot of enthusiasm into their routine. One of the most tender moments of the performance came as Merek set up his final solo number, one he stressed that he always plays. It would be the theme to The Last of the Mohicans, which he informed everyone was the first R rated film he saw. One he saw with his father. Merek then took a moment to stress how much his dad meant to him and how he appreciated that he had never tried to make him fit his mold, stating how grateful he was for that and his encouragement in pursuing music. He dedicated that number to his father. To say it was an enthralling piece feels as if it would be an understatement. The compelling song took everyone on a journey, one that was even different from the rest of the show as a whole. He arguably made it sound even better than the original score, his violin having no trouble capturing the wide range of emotions the song features. The audience loved it so much that everyone in the room wound up on their feet. He had more than earned that standing ovation; the collective clapping drowning out his voice as he tried to use the microphone. “I didn’t know you wanted to go home that bad,” he quipped once the noise had subsided. He wasn’t done just yet, the band rejoining him for the final two songs of this 83-minute long set. “Ardor” was self-described as being one of his favorite pieces from The Tao Less Traveled, and it would serve as the conclusion for the evening. A fascinating blend of experimental elements with rock influences spliced in with Merek’s neoclassical style, it is perhaps the most ambitious and creative track on The Tao Less Traveled. Live, with the band, it was stupendous. Greely and bassist Darryl Bennett held it all together, while the acoustic guitar nicely punctuated the sweeter moments. Alec Wallace was holding that post down; while fellow guitarist Chris Martin emboldened the most intense portions. Those additional instruments ensured “Ardor” was as rich and textured as possible, allowing it to reach its full potential. The song was as dynamic as they come and felt like the ultimate closer, as it reached a triumphant finish, one that once again earned Merek and company a standing ovation. What a transcendental experience. It had been breathtaking, leaving the audience in sheer awe. This wasn’t just a night to celebrate in the labor of love that is Merek’s debut solo record, at least not for the fans and listeners. More than anything, this provided a thorough look at Merrick as a musician in a way that probably no show previously had. His artistry was on full display and it was something to behold. The original cuts wouldn’t have been what they were if not for the talents of Melton, Greely, Bennett, Wallace and Martin, though, the music itself still all sprung from the mind of Merek. Brilliant compositions that can redefine the perceptions that some people have regarding the violin. The traditional sound of that classical instrument is the heart of all of his pieces, though there’s a modern flare that makes them edgy and even raw. When he had the stage to himself, the spectators were able to appreciate his skills in a new way. The effort that goes into the process of creating a live loop is immense, calculative thought being imperative to pulling it off. And Merek made it all look effortless. The performance (the term “show” would be inadequate in describing this) was, indeed, laid out perfectly. The band helped in making a statement and quickly immersed everyone into the soundscapes, while the solo segment allowed for some familiarity. Even the covers had some surprises, though; Merek’s interpretations of them being recognizable yet executed in a manner that is completely unique. After energizing the crowd and then filling them with wonder, they amped it back up for a powerful end, thus bringing it full circle. When it was all said and done, Zuriel Merek had proven that you don’t always need words in order to convey emotions. His songs accomplished that just fine with only the music, enveloping the listener and keeping them spellbound. By doing so, he had solidified his place as one of D-FW’s most stunning musicians. A premier talent. It’s all in the way that Merek presents it, making what he does sound new, or at the very least, refreshing. Hopefully these full band shows will become a little more frequent. Say, a handful of times a year or so. But regardless of the format -- a backing band or solo -- you won’t leave a show of his disappointed. He has plenty of gigs lined up through the end of 2017, including one at Savor Gastropub in Dallas on November 25th. December 2nd will find him at Dodie's Place in Allen; and the 9th he’ll be performing at Hulen Mall in Fort Worth. The Common Table in Dallas will host Merek on the 28th. For a full listing and further details on the events, check out his CALENDAR. And if you attend one, be sure to pick up a copy of The Tao Less Traveled. Set List: *full band* 1)  “Levity” 2)  “Foundling” 3)  “Absolution” 4)  “Mi Piaci” *solo* 5)  “Hallelujah” (Leonard Cohen cover) 6)  “Pure Imagination” (from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) 7)  “Despacito” (Luis Fonsi cover) 8)  “The Last of the Mohicans Theme” *full band* 9)  “I Will Be There” 10)  “Ardor”

I'm entirely convinced that prosperity that is great can be accumulated by anyone. Am I therefore comfortable? Because as being a money adviser throughout the 13 years, I have had the truly amazing benefit of working with many wealthy customers. I also learned HOW their fortunes were created by them. The good news: I'm going to discuss my secrets. The even better news: wealth-creation is very simple's secret. In only one line, anything I contact The Golden Rule of Wealth Creation, money creation might be summarized in fact.
Currently how I came across it, before I enter the marvelous Golden Rule of Wealth-Creation, somewhat. One of many curious things I recognized from my band of prosperous customers was that they were more unique of the same. That didn't sound right tome in the beginning. My reasoning was that since these individuals all were wealthy, they'd all be equivalent in many values. Exactly the same childhood (silver-spoon of course), same schooling (typically private-school, followed closely by an Ivy League MBA), same job strengths (a $300,000 beginning salary since father owns the business) etc. I quickly discovered that my preconceived concept of prosperous people was drastically wrong.
Most of my well-to-do customers were a hodgepodge of individuals from several different walks of living. Nobody looked like Donaldtrump along with his fancy thousand dollar suits (while several consumers did possess the Trump comb over). Most were folks who used khakis, or women who used trousers. Which got me to considering: Our customers are typical different, but they have to be doing anything precisely the same. How else is the same success being achieved by them in generating success?

(That page of paper has since been presented now weighs in our office boardroom).
My friend had the Goldenrule of Wealth Creation in his hands. it got me somewhat longer to work it, although he understood instantly the power of the thing that was on that individual sheet of report. It's not https://www.infinitewealth.com.au because I'm sluggish (while my spouse might declare diverse), but since I Have noticed the thing that was published about the report before and did not pay much awareness of it when I initially found it.

Consequently there it's. Wealth Creation's mysterious wealth creation wiki Golden-Rule. Isn't it beautiful?
I realize if you don't quickly discover its elegance. Into 1 of 2 communities, a lot of people fall under at this point. The foremost is the " I dislike math, and you also stated this went to be straightforward, you liar!" collection. Trust me, Wealth Creation's Golden-Rule could be interpreted into basic LANGUAGE from Q. Please stick with me, you'll appreciate me later, I promise it.

I will explain to you how exactly to use it to make better financial choice, and I will show ALL my customers that are wealthy used the Goldenrule inside their economic success.
This seems like a name for an article. What has Wealth Creation got to do with all life's purpose you may ask? I am gonna disagree that it has a lot to do withit. Wealth Development at its key suggests the formation of anything of value property investment seminars that is extensive. It is amazing how much mediocrity we put up with. We don't actually want to reside lives. We tolerate the humdrum just so we are able to appreciate significant exciting and bold symptoms inside our living.
I like the wider, farreaching idea of wealth-creation a whole lot so than slim, limited notion of just earning money. There's nothing respectable in being more wealthy or exceptional than somebody else. But there's in being more advanced than your former self objective and wonderful nobility.
Simple, ostensibly little functions like dropping in love, dance, listening to music and so forth, in my opinion, have shared motives with making more cash, developing a profession, producing success i.e. the goal and phrase of more lifestyle. The objective of life is essentially to create and experience more life - allow the true expression of existence. This phrase is fostered by wealth creation in its fullest, broadest meaning.
Life's Purpose
This is of life is that that you give it; but the reason for living, it could be fought, is something completely more certain. Your own personal specific intent may take time for you to determine when you journey through property investment melbourne life but in-general conditions I believe it really is truthful to mention, your goal is, to transform oneself from who and how you're currently, to your next-highest ideal of who and how you would like to be.
Every parent desires to present their child much better and more than they themselves had. This is a biological imperative that is pure. Every person wants to present and have more lifestyle than they currently have. Riches and wealth's accomplishment is simply part of this manifestation.
Though modification is not completely the area of wealth-creation...should you be making more life, developing more worth than you'll immediately become wealthier. Thus, in a way, prosperity is actually a measure of the improved value you produce during your life, the depth and fullness of appearance inside your life as well as the fostering creation of more life.
A Larger Description of Prosperity
Although money is most often associated with money and also the deposition of resources; I view money (and its own reverse, destitution) as pervasive in everything in living; in people' s mindsets, in how people act, within the forces and laws of nature, as well as in every human connection. As connected with cash and possessions, wealth creation with the aim with this report, we are typically focused on the meaning of wealth creation. However, it's worth bearing in mind that prosperity isn't just possibly a reflection of anything but also concerning the deposition of possessions and income deeper, some intrinsic travel and goal far nobler than we may consider.
Consequently, we-don't need to restrict this is of wealth-creation to real economics. For your functions of this article, we are able to state that prosperity comes in many types that are property investment seminars different. Life is not just about everything you have or achieve; it is also firmly about who. Perhaps even more importantly what other people become as a result of the being and who.
In a way, wealth-creation is actually a way of measuring mileage and the period you've come in existence In every factors...personal advancement and advancement, psychic advancement and development etc. Wealth doesn't only reside in your bank account; it's inside your conduct, your attitude, your nature along with your activities.
Of Receiving Rich, property investment seminars melbourne the True Purpose
For getting prosperous and wealth design, the causes are far more than money and wealth's easy achievement. Obtaining prosperous enables lifestyle to improve and dwell more. If, exclusively concerning the property investment advice perth income I believe that oneis desire for riches and prosperity is seldom, but rather it is a measurable means of expressing our wish to have a fuller, better purposeful life i.e. the growing of living.
Individually, I have no interest in income as a method of person. a need drives our money generation passions to learn more life. Assuming, that the simple Maslow structure of desires are satisfied (food, shelter, intercourse, love etc)...then a pursuit of money is coordinated by way of a search for home-actualization. Upsurge and steady growth in living is what all women and men are trying to find. This appeal can lead to the generation of success and folks are attracted to those who can provide them more of the way of living and also you getting abundant.
Concerning yourself with the appeal of wealth and cash as a means towards share and the experiencing towards the expansion of life is much more worthy search than money as a possession's love. What you wish for you, you should wish for everybody.
Creation Not Competition
It is named not and Wealth Creation Prosperity Competitiveness. We must develop instead of contend for what's currently developed. If you shop you, you'll realize that value that's hard to compete with is created by probably the most productive businesses on the planet. Individuals have a must be imaginative and psychic, in the place of damaging. Folks are thus attracted to generation. A greater chance of accomplishment stands in case your enterprise is innovative as opposed to just competitive. The people who take advantage profit the planet are condition changers; they build improved claims, new expertise, enhanced experience of existence. They market and primarily give more living. They create more value in existence. Wealth creation in its highest meaning not only produces prosperity but additionally plays a part in design of more lifestyle.
That element of us that is generally looking link back-up with and to state itself and join with a few higher phrase of living is just a profoundly spiritual drive of dynamics that simply must convey itself. To reject it, could be questioning oneself of who you actually are.
Financial Freedom - An Alternate Perspective
We generally associate the term "fiscal flexibility" with some opinion of countless success and cash. Wherein your financial circumstances not limit your highest expression of living nevertheless, an alternative perception on monetary independence is. I would disagree that, if your current financial conditions somehow reduce you from enabling property investment seminars perth the fullest manifestation of yourself, then the quest for financial liberty as well as the development of success will drives you to enable this. You get economic independence that is utter if you are certain if you want that you can certainly do virtually whatever you want, with whoever you want, in ways that allows everyone and both you.
In Summary
property investment seminars
Whether you're working in a special look on some street-corner, herding goats in the Himalayas or trading stocks on Wallstreet there isn't any getting away from the niche. Wealth creation is everywhere. Persons might have various ways of describing it (e.g. paying the charges, saving to get a rainyday, building wealth, building a potential, obtaining loaded, making money, producing ends meet, building a nest egg etc), however, primarily they are different ways of describing property investment melbourne blog a similar thing prior to your current circumstances. Why not give some considered to why you need to do what it's you do, what's the bond between your money-making that is daily your life purpose that is deeper along with hobbies? Wealth creation is at the center of the extremely purpose of life... while you wish to be,.the correct intent behind life is to develop oneself. The real intent behind wealth creation is always to enable this for everyone else...and for yourself!
