This Week in BL - Thailand surprised me
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
May 2024 Wk 1
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
My Stand-In (Thai Fri iQIYI) ep 2 of 12 eps - I love love love Sol! Pink-haired baby idol blast from the past nursing a crush = absolute catnip for me. This is def my favorite Thai BL currently airing. And it’s probably because it has a sort of odd queer authenticity to both its gayness and its rep of the film industry. I mean, of course it’s sanitized into BL fantasy-landia, but there’s an underpinning of something real, for lack of a better word. Normally I prefer the fantasy of my dumb BL worldview, but in this one I’m kind of liking a little chew and grit.
All of which is to say: this is very fucked up messy gay, which normally I’m not wild about, but for some reason I’m really enjoying this version.
On the other side of the BL coin we have:
Tumblr media
Wandee Godday (Sat YT) ep 1 of 12 - And I like it a lot. It’s fun and I’m enjoying it (possibly more than it deserves). I like how it’s a little absurdist. I like that it starts with a one night stand. I like all of the side characters. I love the asexual representation. Bonus LUBE! It’s a fun show. More FUN that GMMTV usually goes for.  
Tumblr media
Two Worlds (Thurs iQIYI) ep 8 of 10 - The sketching in the cave scene was v sexy. And I’m enjoying this BL, but not for any other reason than MaxNat being MaxNatty all over my screen. 
1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 12fin - I don’t know what I feel about this one. Mostly just indifferent. It was meant to be the paranormal Thai BL pulp about vampires that we were all waiting for, and it ended up just being boring. Frankly, I'd rather be pissed off than bored. 6/10
Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 4 of 12 - I truly love the naked lust on our side couple's pining friend's face. Usually only Japan get this thirsty.
Tumblr media
Book is perfectly cast as Moo's older bro. They even look a bit alike but it might have been a mistake, because he’s so damn charismatic. Stole all the breath from the show for a bit. 
We Are (Weds iQIYI) ep 5 of 16 - No report until next week. 
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Tumblr media
Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 11 of 12 - What a fantastic ep. This show really is killing it. I’m so happy with Taiwan right now. 
Carry on.
Blue Boys (Korea YouTube) 3 of ? - It remains lovely and I remain enjoying it immensely. It’s very Strongberry feeling. That's always a welcome sensation.
Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 4 of 10 - They are so cute and pretty much just boyfriends already regardless of what they each think. I'm scared that next week is the final episode, it doesn’t feel like it’s gone very far.
At 25:00 in Akasaka AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - I liked it a little better this week. I guess I’m warming up to this one?
Boys Be Brave AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) ep 3-4 of 8 - Ah poor lonely neglected child. They are all such weirdos. I don’t understand any of these characters or their motivations except they are strange kind of cartoons of... something.
Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 9-10 of 12 - The guy who plays the vet should be playing a vampire. That's it. That's all I have to say. 
Tumblr media
It's airing but...
Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.
Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - 6 eps, when it's done, tell me if I should bother?
You Made My Day (Thai YT) ep 1 of 5 - supposed to have started on Friday but I couldn't find it, I also didn't try very hard.
In case you missed it
GMMTV announced the second half of their 2024 line up. I got excited and picked my favorites, details + trailers here.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
May Releases
5/10 A Balloon's Landing (Taiwan movie) trailer - A frustrated Hong Kong writer, Tian Yu, meets a Taipei street gangster, Xiang (Fandy Fan from HIStory2: Crossing the Line), and the two of them embark on a journey to find the Bay of Vanishing Whales. Along the way, they discover unexpected twists and turns and close bonds, which brings out the message that "there is always someone like you in this world who is waiting for you.
5/16 Blossom Campus (Korea Thurs Gaga & iQIYI) ep 1 of 6 - Strongberry doing classic BL! Weeee!
5/19 OMG Vampire (Thai Sun ????) ep 1 of 10 - LeeFrank are back - not unlike the undead (as it were). But how do we feel about it? Unsure given their track record.
Tumblr media

Hi I’ve been wanting to post this for a few days but I’ve got no desire to actually write a description. But it’s here if anyone wants! Description will come later, I just dropped my boyfriend off today and I’m kinda sad. Long distance. Blah.
Download (SFS)
Info is now under the cut! Look at me go.
01/18 - If you use any replacement UI built off of Clean UI, please ensure either this package loads after, or delete the turn on images that Clean UI includes. Thank you grilledcheese-aspiration for reminding me! The two turn-ons effected are ‘Musical’ and ‘Neat Freak’ which were originally ‘Hard Worker’ and ‘Unemployed.’
So I will say I probably should’ve done these differently (turn Creative into Artistic as opposed to Vampire, but whatever. They actually started out alphabetical in game which I thought was neat. They’re still fairly close!
But basically what I’ve done here is replace almost all the turn-ons with personality/trait based ones. I’m wishing we could mix and match individual turn-ons actually because as I write this list I’m already worried about people thinking there’s too many supernatural ones. But they’re used in my game so idk. They’re much more relevant than full face makeup I feel.
For badges sims require a silver level to have the turn-on. For skills I’ve increased it to 8 points, and if a turn-on mentions a hobby, a sim either needs 5 points or have it as their One True Hobby.
Fitness/Fatness - New icons, unchanged Swimwear > Adventurous - 3 Vacations, Adventurous, Daredevil, Sailor Formal > Alien - Trait, Skin, Eyes Underwear > Animal Lover - 2 Pet Friends, Animal Lover, Cat Person, Dog Person, Equestrian Vampire > Artistic - Artistic, Avant Garde, Photographer's Eye, Savvy Sculptor, Floral/Pottery/Sewing Badge, Arts & Crafts Hobby, Creativity Skill Stink > Athletic - Athletic, Disciplined, Equestrian, Loves to Swim, Sports/Fitness Hobby, Body Skill Logical > Bad Rep - Negative Reputation, Evil Great Cook > Bookish - Bookworm, Film & Literature Hobby Mechanical > Charismatic - Born Salesperson, Charismatic, Natural Born Performer, Schmoozer, Star Quality, Charisma Skill Creative > Content - Platinum, Lifetime Happiness Skill (side note this one will be the first one to go if someone can come up with something better it is my least favourite) Athletic > Dumb - Absent Minded, Less than 2 Logic Good at cleaning > Foodie - Natural Cook, Cuisine Hobby, Cooking Skill Zombiism > Gamer - Computer Whiz, Couch Potato, Loser, Games Hobby Robots > Good Rep - Good reputation, Good Plantsim > Indoorsy - Bookworm, Brooding, Couch Potato, Hates the Outdoors, Loner Werewolf > Magic - Genie, Witch, Fairy Witch > Mechanical - Servo, Bot Fan, Computer Whiz, Handy, Vehicle Enthusiast, Robotics Badge, Tinkering Hobby, Mechanical Skill Hard Worker > Musical - Natural Born Performer, Star Quality, Virtuoso, Music & Dance Hobby, Dance Skill, Creativity Skill Unemployed > Neat Freak - Neat, Cleaning Skill, Personality Cologne > Occult - Werewolf, Plantsim, Bigfoot, Genie, Witch, Fairy, Mermaid Facial Hair > Outdoorsy - Angler, Green Thumb, Loves the Outdoors, Sailor, Gardening Badge, Fishing Badge, Nature Hobby Glasses > Plant Lover - Eco-Friendly, Green Thumb, Vegetarian, Flower/Gardening Badge, Plantsim, Fairy  Makeup > Productive - Ambitious, Eccentric, Frugal, Gatherer, Perfectionist, Workaholic Full Face Makeup > Slacker - Couch Potato, Mooch, Slob, Personality Hats > Smart - Genius, Logic Skill Jewellery > Stylish - Avant Garde, Diva, Irresistible, Proper, Cosmetology Badge, Fashion Interest Custom Hair > Timid - Brooding, Coward, Loner, Shy, Socially Awkward, Unflirty, Personality Charismatic > Undead - Ghost, Zombie, Vampire
Version 2 Added, Choose one
Fixes Fitness/Fatness names. Those were meant for me only!
Creative > Baddie - Daredevil, Evil, Flirty, Great Kisser, Irresistible, Party Animal, Rebellious traits

goreclan part 4, end of year 2! dear god this clan grew a lot in 6 moons
Roachstar - leader of GoreClan. bloodthirsty. has been getting older and frequently reconsiders her life choices and seems to regret becoming leader. i wonder if this has anything to do with her husband’s new friend
Daisyhollow - deputy of GoreClan. bloodthirsty. had a great moon and became extremely close with a rogue who joined the clan… Pushee
Cougardawn - medic of GoreClan. lonesome. more overworked than ever with a greencough outbreak taking over the camp, no deaths yet everyone’s been recovering well, but i imagine the stress is getting to him. not helping matters is the love triangle he has found himself at the center of
Pushee - warrior of GoreClan. ambitious. only been in the clan for 4 moons and has established themself as Daisyhollow’s most trusted friend. which is. convenient. given their ambition. and Roachstar’s age. also i think their name is extremely funny
Sandwichbright - warrior of GoreClan. strange. has developed romantic feelings for Cougardawn, which i guess is fair given how frequently the two go on patrols. Cougardawn reciprocates these feelings but. there is another…
Leafwhisker & Splashheart - warriors of GoreClan. fierce and bloodthirsty. how are they not divorced yet their hate for each other keeps increasing. no children by the mountain goats
Rainsnout. warrior of GoreClan. former leader of ???Clan. playful. Rainsnout i have so many questions. he was apparently the leader of another clan before he got bored/overwhelmed, so he retired early. additionally. Rainsnout has developed reciprocated romantic feelings for Cougardawn. and a rivalry with Sandwichbright. this guy is extremely interesting to me i’m dying to know more
Nettle. warrior of GoreClan. wise. joined the clan alongside her 3 kits a moon ago. haven’t gotten much of an impression on her personality yet but she seems nice
Weaselbloom & Braveclaw. warriors of GoreClan. shameless and charismatic. they finally became mates while both of them were sick with greencough. both of them recovered and their relationship is going great
Thymemuzzle. warrior of GoreClan. lonesome. congratulations to Thymemuzzle for becoming a single dad. by the looks of it he had an affair with an outsider and thus: Lowkit. he’s a bit distant with Lowkit, but she has a very high opinion of him
Bristlepelt. warrior of GoreClan. bold. he didn’t really do much besides get greencough and survive it
Turtleburrow & Wolftooth. warrior of GoreClan. wise and daring. hate each other now. they got into an argument in camp and they just fully hate each other now. sibling rivalries make me sad
Whisperingshade. warrior of GoreClan. sneaky. she’s a full warrior now and my god is she wonderful. also her name + the sneaky trait is perfect i love when randomly generated things work out like this
Goldenclaw. elder of GoreClan. confident. has not yet recovered from greencough. i’m worried because this guy is 157 moons so he is extremely old
Lowkit. kit of GoreClan. inquisitive. Thymemuzzle’s kit, she is extremely curious and keeps on asking older cat’s questions. very cute
Greenkit, Marigoldkit, & Loudkit. kits of GoreClan. bullying, impulsive, and inquisitive. not much else to say here because they are infants
overall good moon and honestly surprised no one’s died yet

Okay I wanna ramble about the OFMD S2 finale now. This is a fucking ramble and a half but it was do this or continue posting disconnected, inarticulate messages at 5am. Spoilers ahead.
I wanna start this with the things I LIKED this season so I'm not just being a hater. Overall, I'm super happy this show even exists. A historical pirate show with an entire cast of queer characters (and many queer actors/creators) is always a good thing in my book. It's better that these shows succeed and show that it's a viable creative endeavor. Specific things I liked about s2: -Zheng. She's incredible. I loved her the second she revealed who she was and just found her so entertaining whenever she was on screen. I hope Ruibo Qian gets more chances to shine in the future, preferably as a lead.
-All the guest stars gave 110% and I found them delightful. I completely understand why the toxic lesbians took off the way they did on social media when Minnie Driver and Rachel House were so charismatic. -The Innkeeper. This episode made me so hopeful for what the season COULD be because I thought Ed's internal conflict was handled in such a great way. Kind of a shame that they set up this beautiful story of a self-loathing, suicidal person who's wronged the people he loves as worthy of second chances only to fuck that up later BUT WHATEVER THAT'S A FUTURE PROBLEM. -There are plenty of individual moments that made me feel great. That really made me love these characters and came close to capturing what I felt in the first season. But I will add a caveat to this thought in the next bit... Specific things I did not like about OFMD s2: -So, while I did enjoy individual moments when separated from the whole of the series, when trying to think of them in context everything felt so...cobbled together? Instead of feeling like I was watching a cohesive story, it felt more like the writers' room had sat down and said "All right, what scenes would people like to see? What character moments would get people talking?" Which I think was a mistake. -Plot threads were left dangling in the wind. Character conflicts were either wrapped up in a blink or were entirely forgotten. It felt like a season with no consequences (which is WEIRD, considering). I'd had an in-depth conversation with a friend around episode 2 or 3, but I'd said I was excited to see how Izzy and Stede's conflict could develop as the season went on--I specifically wanted an exploration into the idea that regardless of how hard you work to redeem yourself, nobody owes it to you to accept your apology. And that that's OKAY. Instead it felt like everyone looked at Izzy as if his previous behavior was the behavior of a mischievous cat who knocks shit off counters as opposed to a toxic force within the crew.
-I'm not an Izzy hater, I'm not an Izzy fanboy; I'm just someone who likes coherent character arcs. His character arc sucked, guys. Like I'm sorry, I know most of us were delighted with his drag show and casual, friendly bitchiness. But it made no goddamn sense for who he was in the last season, and I feel that the total 180 he did from being the symbol of toxic masculinity to giving heartwarming speeches about pirate life being all about acceptance and family to be...messy. I genuinely thought that Izzy was going to be used as an allegory for Ed having an addiction and needing to withdraw from it over a season, or that the season would at least confront the toxic nature of their relationship in a way that wasn't THREE SECONDS BEFORE IZZY DIED. Also sorry Izzy is coming up in another point but it's because it felt like 70% of this season was Izzy. -The shafting of the side characters. Remember when Ed was like "I'm the fuckin' devil. And these are the kids"? Yeah, that was kind of the vibe the whole damn time, eh? I'll be totally upfront with you, I didn't love the first season because the two Kiwis kissed. I loved the first season for the characters. I was SO intrigued by every one of them, particularly Jim and Olu. This season, every single member of the crew felt more like Polly Pockets who would get pulled out when convenient and then tossed into the sand when the episode grew tired of them. Did any of them actually have character development? Did any of them get an actual moment to shine? Also, god, on the note of the handling of crew relationships. I can't believe this season managed to polybait but here we are. I would love to understand what the reasoning was to break up Olu and Jim. Was it because they couldn't imagine two new characters (Zheng and Archie) existing without a romance? Did amatonormativity strike again? Even removing the romantic development Olu and Jim had for each other, it really felt like they hadn't gone through ANY of the shit they had in the former season. Which I suppose you could say about any of the threads connecting characters because I swear these people acted like they'd just met at a work conference as opposed to having long-standing relationships to one another. -I would like to say for the record that I was never terribly invested in Izzy Hands as a character outside of what he symbolized, but I was initially hopeful he could lead to some fantastic character development for Ed, Stede and himself. Instead, as mentioned before, he had the most rushed character development I have EVER seen and for reasons I still can't really fathom. And maybe this is just a personal thing for me, but I actually really hate showing a suicidal person learning to love life and find new value in allowing themself the opportunity to grow as a person only to fucking murk them for a cheap, rushed emotional moment.
--
Closing thoughts--have you ever seen the special finale episode of Sense8 where the creators knew they'd been screwed by Netflix and so had to scramble to put together a cohesive end for those characters? And the episode we got was messy, it left threads dangling, it wrapped up character conflicts quickly, but it also ultimately seemed to reflect the overall heart of the show? Yeah, this was like that Sense8 finale episode but, at least for me, lacked any of the heart. I've seen people argue that the creators of OFMD wrapped so many conflicts so quickly because they wanted us to have "closure" in case they didn't get a season 3. But, I would argue that I would much rather receive a season that leaves me with questions but feels coherent only to not get answers to those questions than to get the cinematic equivalent of an Uber Eats refund. I'm not satisfied. I'm still hungry. I just have someone telling me I should still be grateful, anyway. I hope they get a season 3, I really do.

My Fav Characters (Haikyuu Extended edition)
Okay so i'm gonna do three teams: nekoma, aoba johsai, and inarizaki
Nekoma:
1)Kenma: look at him. i rest my case. NO he's actually so cute and smart and there's not many other reasons he's literally my little baby and i would love and care for him (but i'm not cleaning up after anybody he has money we can hire someone. i might cook through)
2) Kuroo: I don't think i have to explain this honestly. I don't think of him as some seductive force or "rizz master" as the kids say but he's certainly attractive and i like his passion. also idk i feel like he's a neurodivergent nerd who just happens to be kinda handsome and why would i not like that
3) Kai. Handsome (probably black) man. He's calm and approachable, slightly above average height which is good for me bc i'm short, but he's driven. He's not to be left behind are miscounted. Nekoma definitely needs him on the team. He's sweet and reliable. HE NEEDS MORE LOVE AND I WILL GIVE IT TO HIM. also i like gardening to an extent so having someone who is an arborist in my life allows me to dabble
4) Yaku: He's yaku I mean. one of the best liberos in the game. (why do the best ones not come baaack) love my short king he is literally life to nekoma just like the other three and i love his chaotic energy and defensiveness on and off the court. don't let them make you think he's violent lev be starting with him. also for a volleyball player he has some nice kicks
5)Fukunaga Shohei: When i first saw his eyes i knew i'd love him. his design is literally so cute and friendly and he's one of the most deliberately cat-like and it works for him. I love that he's always making jokes that no one gets or only he laughs at because that is soooo me and i feel like we could parallel play together so well
Aoba Johsai:
1) Hajime Iwaizumi: I'm sure this came as a surprise to absolutely no one. This is the love of my life right here and he's in my top 3 haikyuu men which is a feat of it's own. Never in my life have i loved a character with such little screen time as i love iwaizumi. Just thinking about him telling me to call him hajime?? wow. he's so cool, he's sweet and only mean to his bff yet the love between the two of them is undeniable. he has a huge heart and huge arms that he can put around me. I feel like he'd kinda be a little shy about someone he's dating and have a proud smile but also faint blush. He definitely gets women easily but i feel like he'd turn them down politely(for me! he's saving himself for me)
2) Matsukawa Issei: If you're surprised i mean i get it but i don't. Never let them tell you Issei is an unloved character. If he has 100 fans i'm one of them, if he has 10 fans, i'm one of them if he has 1 fan it's me and if he has no fans I am dead but take me to his mortuary pls so i can see him one last time. He had me a little interested after he scared hinata off that one time but someone else piqued my curiousity a little more and now i read any fanfic of him i can get my hands on and i love my relaxed king.
3) Oikawa Tooru: a master of his craft, charismatic, petty. One of the greatest "villains" of all time (this is a joke based off of what i see on twitter all the time) Oikawa has all his opponents stressed and even his enemies want him on their side. There's no denying his skill or game play. The fact that he could just come in seamlessly to teams "above" his skill level while in high school should prove it to you.
4) Kentaro Kyotani: His design is literally insane and I feel like he's probably not as aggressive as one would think. To me it feels like he bottles up his rage until he can play volleyball which may lead him to do reckless things on the court but he's undeniably skilled and a good guy. This might be me projeting but i feel like he's neurodivergent and he gets a bit overstimulated/understimulated and that's where the anger comes from but he can be shocked out of that state like with yahaba. It was clear he never meant to negatively affect the team he just got swept up
5) Akira Kunimi: To me he's like a mashup of kenma and tsukishima with a bit of his own flavoring in it and i like both of those characters. He's dedicated to volleyball but only while playing volleyball. He's obviously smart/clever and he's just kind of overall adorable and hard to hate. He sticks out to me even though i don't think that's what he's trying to do
Inarizaki: (changing the ranking slightly from earlier)
1) Osamu Miya: He came in the game, he conquered with his twin brother, he served looks, attitude, wasn't the "cool twin" nor the more subdued twin even though he called "less" attention to himself than Atsumu. Most anime twins are either the exact same until you can tell the difference or they're like polar opposites. Osamu looked at that and kinda spit on it. They got their separate hair colors for individuality and then went about their business being too similar to not fight and different enough that there was no jealousy and osamu hung up the volleyball and made his own place in the restaurant industry. That's my baby right there
2) Shinsuke Kita: I was gonna make a volleyball joke but it fell flat. Anyway Kita is always serving looks. If anyone wants to look at a character similar design wisesto that misogynist naoya from jjk here you go. Kita was the responsible upperclassmen/older bro whatever you want to call it but it was organic and natural and despite not being a starter, the way he ran the team proved that he was invaluable and when they showed that to him and he cried? He's such a sweet character and i feel like he has some hidden mischief i'd like to be a part of. also once again sometimes i get the urge to farm or garden so i'm just gonna be like "give me a task shinsuke"
3)Aran Ojiro: I'm rooting for everybody black. Okay anyway look at him. just look and appreciate all you're getting to look at. Okay now look at his timeskip goatee. alright are you back on earth yet? I must have a thing for aces/hitters. We love an emotionally intelligent man who is yet another heart of the team i mean without kita an ojiro where would inarizaki be? He knows his shit, he's one of the top five aces of the country, he's gorgeous and he's sweet. need i say more? Should i?
4)Suna Rintaro: He's so pretty i would be scared to bring my s/o around him (i'm joking why would i be scared to bring him around himself) I feel like we'd vibe and i'd tell him i love his eyes and he'd say he loves mine and then we'd be messy together while somehow making sure to stay out of it. He's smart and analytical and i feel like he could give me a run for my money in terms of noticing and knowing stuff (i'm literally psychic and i love gossip) also i love that he's just slightly scared of kita
5)Astumu Miya: just cause he's at the bottom of this list doesn't mean i don't love him. I would prefer him as a bff or brother in law if i'm being totally honest but his character is way too cool to not make it on a top 5 list. He serves (literally) he has good chemistry with a couple people) he's a bit petty, he's pretty, 100% ND and i think that could explain how his passion is both intriguing and scary. He's 100% misunderstood and mischaracterized but he could be my clingy best friend i just wouldn't let him teach me volleyball bc he'd be mean (accidentally ofc)

Could you write something about your dnd character/s? Love hearing about other people's ocs!
hehe i finally have a moment to answer >:3c this is gonna be long so im gonna get a read more involved
my only character thats actually from dnd (my online group plays other ttrpgs) and "active" (we played two sessions 3 months ago ;w; but! might play again) Is Yeshe :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Its a mdzs inspired campaign... im pretty sure, i havent watched it... so i based her off of tibetan folk clothes and ofc off of a pallas cat. She hadnt had time to shine as a character yet and her backstory and motivations are bit murky =w= but the gist is that she takes care of her magically gifted little sibling (another player character, my sketch attached), they were raised in a remote commune and are now going to the big city.
Now, the character from a finished campaign of City Of Mist (really cool system!!!) thats been on my mind a lot recently is my beloved Theooooooo
Tumblr media
He was originally an oc completely detached from any specific setting, then I put him with my beloved Rochelle (in the blue dress, she started out as a dnd character but got only like 2 sessions back in 2020 :'3) in my own version of feywild (ill get to it later).
And then!!! I decided to play him in that CoM game and it was the best decision everrrrrrrrrr he was so so so so sos ososoosososos fun :3. CoM is urban fantasy where people become "rifts" for mythical beings and are able to use their power.
Theo was a Detective and a Fey and i really enjoyed playing an absolutely devious, controlling and charming guy =w=. His main motivation was power, he thought most people (except for his wife rochelle altough they have a tomshiv thing going on) are beneath him and mostly there for him to order around like chess pieces. And something that made this campaign insanely fun for me was that in order to get more powerful he had to do a task for the fey queen - kidnap and deliver a singer to her. A singer which also happened to be the person we had to protect during our investigation... dm and me kept it secret.
It was so insanely fun to walk into every scene thinking of how to find an opportunity to do that... in the end I managed to, in a very tense scene (the greyscale sketch at the top, the girl smiling behind theo is one of the fey messangers). The other PCs didnt stop him because they had some trust in him... got away with it completely :3. Tho I agreed not to play him in the next campaign (even tho id love to >_<) bc his jig was kinda up. Great character tho, and thanks to my dm i finally get warlocks, i might play one sometime!
Now, still in the city of mist im playing Valerie :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her mythos is "Vampire" but she refuses to drink blood... she gets all sorts of issues bc of that, has trouble keeping down frineds and jobs ect... Still very early in the campaign but shes pretty fun :3 tho i prefer chracters who are a bit more commanding, i made her more of a follower to let my group breathe after theo but i kinda naturally fell back into organising the party again last session so i think i just need to stick to making charismatic characters next time sidugfsd. shes a nice change of pace tho, im excited for whats in store for her.
My feywild!!! It's a setting ive had in my head ever since i made Rochelle, Its sort of an early modern france mixed with Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell which sounds pretty lame and ig it is isudgfsd.
Tumblr media
Theres a lot of ideas and a lot of characters that i dont really have time to develop and am prolly gonna rework a million times =w= but its fun, and its fun to make plalists for random archfey.
Last character I'll mention =w= even tho i never got to play him because the campaign fell apart before the fist session, as they often do, I really love Byk and I wanna show you guys...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tadeusz Byk born in 1880 in Poland, Emigrated to the usa (boston then moved near new york) with his mother and grandma when he was 13... Operates a temporary house for immigrants that his mother started. Now 40, works as a tailor and sells moonshine on the side. Depressed, repressed and with a big heart... hope i get to dust him off for something someday...

Take this as an invitation to bitch about something, Cats related or otherwise
An invitation to... bitch, you say...? Ooooooh.... don't mind if i doooo
I am SO SO SO tired of the basic deuteronomy brothers. Like I think in a vacuum it's cool! Tugger and Munk are brothers, if you throw Mac into the mix it becomes good angst fodder, all well and good. But I almost never see anything BEYOND those 2 or 3 when there are other cats I think could make good Deut bros as well. Especially when you consider how varied other parent/kitten hcs are for other cats, why can't Deut be the same way?! Think outside the box! Think beyond just Tugger, Mac & Munk!
I like to accentuate the positive (or maybe I just like the song) so now this is positive bitching (if there is such a thing) about my own hcs for deut bros and why I think they would make fun deut bros (okay this is just infodumping)
My favorite Deut bros - Victor, Munk, Misto, and George. And this got really long so all of that under the cut.
Victor is the oldest imo, he's probably from a past life of Deuteronomy's actually, that would be mega cool right? He doesn't drop in on the tribe much, he's more of a visiting cousin (as I like to think many swing cats like Greycat, Caramel, or AJ are) but all the tribe likes him, because he can be quite charismatic, and also when he comes to say hi he usually has some fun stuff for the other cats. He's not much of a storyteller but he makes up for it in silly trinkets he brings back from wherever he's been to, whether it's near or far.
Munkustrap being Old Deuteronomy's son and for that reason the head protector of the tribe is just something I adore far too much to ever let go, ppl are totally right for letting that be a popular fandom hc. So yadda yadda, all the regular reasons why I consider Munk to be Deuteronomy's son, common fandom hc stuff here.
(I also like to think Victoria is Munk's daughter, which would make Misto her zany uncle, and I adore that dynamic SO much.)
(Mostly cause of Zurich) I think of Misto as a bit of an outsider to the tribe, because he has magic like his father but he hasn't quite harnessed it/it's very different from Deuteronomy's, so the tribe isn't quite as sure how to... deal with him (and he's frankly not sure how to deal with them either). So he is kind of splintered off from the rest of the tribe while he still learns the full extent of his abilities. It creates a bit of friction between him and the tribe, they don't fully understand each other yet but eventually everyone will hash it out and become buddies XD. Also because he is the only magical one of the 4 he's expected to take Old Deuteronomy's place when Deut ascends to the Heaviside Layer for the final time and the tribe currently is like "really, him? I mean I like him and all but... Misto?" So they're all sorta working on that still. Did you know I'm incredibly normal about Zurich Misto
George... really he is here because I think Misto and George as brothers is the silliest idea ever. George is not magical but he is closest to Mistoffelees, he doesn't do super well with talking or singing but he is quite a dancer and loves to hang out with Misto and practice their dance moves together, like be each others' partners and do lifts and fun stuff like that. They have a very simple relationship and don't expect too much from each other, which is good because they're still the sons of freakin' Old Deuteronomy so there's certain expectations placed on their shoulders.
But also, aside from Misto, George is great as Old Deuteronomy's son because he is quite peppy and sunshine-y and constantly energetic and moving, and it's a great foil to the often-stationary and sunbathing Old Deut + Victor, and on-guard protective Munkustrap. George is very casual and laid-back, easily one of the most approachable of the Deuteronomy brothers, and he is who cats go to when they are looking for some simple games to play to enjoy a nice day, that sort of stuff. He's the youngest, being just out of kittenhood, and so still enjoys a good tussle with Tumblebrutus and Pouncival, + a nice gossip with Cettie and Lettie. But also, he likes hanging out with the older cats too and listening to their stories, he is easily the one who chills with the tribe the most and just coasts along. Basically, he's the sunshiney chill dude who is here to have an awesome time and spout bad, idiomatic advice LOL.

SF9 Zuho birth chart analysis
Based on my opinion and observations. Not a professional. May change later.
Tumblr media
July 4th, 1996
Seoul, SK
2 AM
Big 3: ☀️♋️, 🌙♒️, ⬆️♉️
Gemini mars + Gemini venus in 1st house is probably why he can seem intimidating at first (Mars) but charming later (Venus). Zuho does look fierce and he's aware of it, which is why he's always telling people he's not as scary as he seems (if anything he's the opposite of scary lol...this man is the scaredy cat).
I'm still learning a bit about degree theory, so I may not be too correct on this...Zuho is a Taurus rising at 20° - a Scorpio degree - so maybe that's also why he has a strong appearance. I honestly thought he was a Scorpio rising before I found his birth time
Moon square ascendant might make him seem moody. He's probably moody in general, especially since he's a Cancer sun, but he has other aspects that make him appear confident and determined
Venus in 1st + Taurus rising likely enhances his Venus energy more, making him charismatic (also with the help of venus-mars conjunction). The very wide shoulders, pointed chin and angular jaw, calm and quiet composure, slender fingers...Traits I've noticed in a lot of Taurus risings. Even my 2 Taurus rising sisters both have slender fingers too. My younger sis especially has strong Venus influence, which gives her the broad shoulders with the similar face shape
I find it so interesting how Venus is one of his dominant planets and he calls himself the male version of Venus, even having the lyric tattooed on his thigh
Mercury in 2nd makes him preoccupied with his finances and business, e.g clothing line Celui Huru
His Aquarius moon and Sun in 3rd makes him really communicative and social. It's very easy for him to get acquainted with others and get their phone numbers. Plus he does just...talk and talk on Vlives lol. His chart has air dominance, so I think his life theme is revolved around communication and interactions
Also a bit of a detached feeling...? It could be from the air dominance and Aqua moon. Maybe his Pluto in 7th as well (likely plays a major part in his chart since he has pluto sag at 0°). As social as he is, it likely takes a lot for Zuho to genuinely trust someone and let them in his heart. He definitely loves deeply and seems to be really loyal (maybe a bit possessive too due to pluto), but he doesn't want to waste his time with just anyone. Saturn in 12th seems to find it difficult to share his deeper feelings though (either he's really private or he doesn't understand how to process them). He's probably been alone a lot in his life and tries to avoid feeling lonely. He has admitted to occassionally regretting moving out from the dorm bc he's alone after schedules are done and his home feels empty without the members. Especially as a Cancer, family and a comfortable home are really important to him
Seems to be really self critical and sensitive to other's criticism as well but tries not to show it. Although I think that's a given, being an artist and all. But he enjoys what he does, it gives him emotional fulfillment (moon in 10th). He's even got tattoos of his member's bdays and Fantasy's bday as well, so his career is definitely something he loves genuinely. That's such solid proof of love and commitment (could be due to pluto in 7th; can be really devoted and even a little extreme with his love. Incredibly affectionate and touchy). Plus he sort of gets the freedom of self expression and creativity when producing and writing music (uranus in 10th)
Confrontational. Honestly I think the only thing holding him back from being more blunt is him being an idol. He has already pointed out a few people's rudeness in Vlive comments, but he was pretty nice about it
Lilith in 4th house and Saturn in 12th indicates possible family issues, especially regarding parents. Maybe some kind of detachment or repression of emotions since he was young
Chiron in 6th and North node in 6th....indicator of health issues (Chiron) and needing to set a healthy routine (NN). Zuho has gotten some pretty bad injuries (back, broken ribs; Mars in 1st house can be a lil clumsy since they're so hasty) and sickness. He doesn't sleep very often and even now he's been juggling a very hectic schedule with working back to back...he even drank 8 cups of coffee. I know it's difficult in general for idols to have healthy lifestyles, but it's especially important for Zuho to maintain one
6th house being service, it seems like Zuho is already a natural at helping others and being there for them. He just needs to learn how to help himself more often though
Aquarius MC is probably why he's so odd. Air + aquarius dominance in his chart, he's definitely really strange and wants to express himself in a unique way. His need for self expression is prioritized more by Jupiter in 9th; individuality and just overall being himself is important. Neptune in 9th may make him idealistic and open minded. He seems to work best alone since he can get things done faster and do things how he wants without much restriction. He wants to make a mark on the world with his work, wants to live a meaningful life

Tumblr media
I realised I never posted him oops 😂
Tumblr media
First drawing is done by me, second was drawn (first!) by @geto-suguru-my-babygirl !! :D
Oc dork post incoming (probably gonna be a part 2 too for my other son 😘) Long post~ imma talk about complicated family things and some murder, its ancient japan and all prospects I talk about are the things I like thinking about :D
Content Warning: Murder, Suicide, Parent-Child manipulation plans, mpreg, infinticide.. Lovely things that you should avoid if you like the looks of NONE of these words.
-BEGIN-
To begin, this is Washirou Nobutoshi! Son of Naite Iru 'Okami' Nobutoshi, the man responsible for cursing the whole Nobutoshi bloodline. More on that later!
Washirou was born way long ago, sometime before the Hei-an period really kicked off! His father Naite is a proud nobleman essentially, but in truth he's just a rich as hell samurai. Naite started the whole samurai thing within the Nobutoshi. (Any Nobutoshi has an inborn skill that anything they see, they copy with no idea how they do it, and it's all thanks to Naite!) But he acheived his power through melding with a curse, that was created by his own hatred. Naite will receive his own post later :3
But, Naite took this curse and used it to gain respect, fear, and money all at once. Not to mention a little bloodspill from time to time was refreshing.. But this changed after Washirou was born. Washirou was born with a head of black hair, but as he aged it turned to the streaky white overpowering black it is currently.
All Nobutoshi have three things in common, one being their inborn skill, the second being their prowess with a blade, and last, their height. Typically, Nobutoshi are over 7' tall, both men and women! Gigantism runs in the family.
And so, Naite is over 8' tall, due to his technique that lets him gobble souls. Washirou is 7'6, but only after puberty does he hit such a growth spurt. Nobutoshi slightly shrank over the years, but the youngest adult Nobutoshi currently, Wakase, is 7'2.
Back to Washirou! Shirou here is different from what an actual Nobutoshi acts like. Generally, Nobutoshi are aloof, and maintain a strict schedule with a straight face. Washirou always has something to smile about, and is not what Naite had in mind for his son..
Washirou grew up not knowing anyone else but Naite. Naite was his father, and that's all he had. Washirou grew up loved, and disciplined. He is mannered.. But lazy. One could say he's the 'hippie' of the family. He's laid back, but at the same time loves a good fight. He's charismatic, and loves to brag about how cool he is..
But don't expect him to go running somewhere and being the hero. He's not some knight in shining armor- he's the next Clan head of the Nobutoshi. And he has a thing with running away from responsibility, and conflict..
Nobutoshi are Sorceror's/Curse User's, and are an opposing Clan to all known Jujutsu families. Naite planned on using Washirou as a way to wage war and become the dominant Sorceror family in Jujutsu society, of course.. He doesn't tell Washirou. But Shirou figures it out quickly.
Naite's aim was to have Washirou as honed in skill as himself, for his son should outshine his father. So Washirou became dedicated to the blade, and upon upshowing Naite, earned what should have been the Family Blade.
Forged from meteorite, the sword, Veiled Moon, was incredibly heavy. Naite had to wield it with both hands to effectively use it, but Washirou, can hold it with one hand and swing it as if feather light.
A testament to his natural strength, but as well, he too fell victim to the curse Naite wanted upon the family. Devouring the soul of a Celestial- people who were said to possess immense positive cursed energy, with the ability to see into the future through dreams and visions. Devouring the soul of a Celestial granted Naite his copy-cat nature, and thus had his son do the same.
Naite devoured many Celestials- but Washirou only consumed one. Washirou felt the curse of the Nobutoshi writhe within his very soul- but it never took hold of him fully. He persevered, and lived how he wanted to.
Washirou's hair started turning after training with Naite as a 11 year old. From then on, it only grew whiter as he lived on another year.
Washirou, the rebel non-conformist he is, falls in love with a sorceror. Not just any Sorceror- but Kenjaku himself. A common Sorceror of no real significance, just an unfortunate born man with barely a smidge of meaning to his life. All he had, was knowledge..
But meeting Washirou changed his outlook, that the sky wasn't always dark and stormy. He had a certain beauty about him, that appriciation of life, which drew Kenjaku in. The two first met, Kenjaku was only so old, being 13. He wasn't a right and proper Sorceror yet, he was simply a student beneath his master, running meaningless task errands..
He tripped and fell carrying a whole bunch of delicate scrolls. While others stared on at him, Washirou, being 16 himself, stepped in a helped pick up the scrolls. They became friend's shortly after, and became inseparable.
Washirou never once questioned the mark on Kenjaku's neck, though he was defiantly curious. He waited until Kenjaku wanted to talk about something, anything, and diligently listened to every word he had to say. All Kenjaku knew and more, Washirou wanted to hear over and over again..
It's a slow bloom of the romances, wrong feelings that have never made either Kenjaku or Washirou feel so right.
It's a secret- the two of them. One wouldn't think they were so close, but even still, they always were around eachother. You could see the fondness they had for each other, but masked it by saying they we're brother's in arms.
Secret meet-ups at the lone cherry tree over yonder, far from the village, just so they can sit and enjoy each others presence in the quiet. Kenjaku would unravel around Washirou, the one person who he could say he trusted with his life.
This didn't change- even when Naite figured them out. Washirou skipped training religiously after he beat Naite in a fight fair and square, earning his sword. But.. He's different. Each time he comes back, he seems more and more distant. Yet still, Washirou loves his after.
This however, does change. Naite hates Kenjaku, its a seething, possessive fury. Naite has only Washirou, his own lover dead and gone so soon after Washirou turned a year old. How dare this common street rat, a opposing Sorceror try to take his son! Naite despises Kenjaku, because Kenjaku changed Washirou.
Washirou only changed for the betterment of himself, and everytime conflict tried to arise between Naite and Kenjaku, he would diffuse the situation. Naite harbored no hatred twords his son- but he defiantly was annoyed.
Washirou aimed to try and break the Nobutoshi curse by finding a way he can rebirth the Celestial he devoured the soul of, and with that reborn Celestial, protect Jujutsu Society. But.. How was he going to do this?
Well, it was an accident. Kenjaku and Washirou's relationship was intimate at impoper times, but what happens when its the most opportune time? Just by sheer luck and timing, Kenjaku ended up conceiving a child. One, who was Washirou's answer to the Nobutoshi Curse.
Of course, this news was not taken very happily by Kenjaku, who knew Naite would try to kill him, or the child.. For sure, he would be successful with one of those things. He went to Tengen first to discuss his woes, and she offered him a shoulder to cry on. She couldn't protect him, however. For she is but a young sorceror herself.
Washirou wanted to remain optimistic, but he too, knew the outcome wouldn't be what they wanted. But of course- both he and Kenjaku came to the conclusion that this child, may be a Celestial. They hate to force a child into such a position- but it's the only way now.
Naite, knowing what Washirou has done, arranges a marriage, forcing Washirou to keep up the Nobutoshi family apperance, by conceiving a child with his new wife. (She was more like a friend to him, in the end. She was just happy to have a baby-)
But as Kenjaku's due date neared, tension only grew. Naite's energy began to distort and warp into mass negative cursed energy as he learned he was able to possess other's-
So what does he do? One night, while Kenjaku and Washirou were alone together, Naite possessed his own son, and taking advantage of Kenjaku's weakness and Washirou's strength, attacked him. Using Veiled Moon, Naite stabbed through Kenjaku.
Washirou, who regained some control of himself, drops Kenjaku. He is mortified- He just committed the highest sin anyone can in these times- killing one's own child, and attempting to take the life of one's lover.
And so- to redeem his actions, Washirou uses Veiled Moon and plunges it into himself. Naite, not expecting the results of his actions, in turn, tells Kenjaku that he will hunt him to the ends of japan, wherever he goes, Naite will find him again, one day.. Before Naite entirely leaves Washirou.
Kenjaku is left with a dying Washirou. His final parting words are 'I love you, never forget that...'
This is the day Kenjaku lost everything dear to him.
And so, he continued the rest of his life, unfortunate as it may be, carrying the loss of the perfect life he should have had.
Meanwhile, Washirou's second child, a son, goes on to live, becoming the running legs for the Nobutoshi line.
Thousands of years later, Kenjaku and Washirou reunite, but in different bodies. Washirou possessing his greatest grandson, Wakase Nobutoshi, and Kenjaku possessing Geto Suguru. Two fated lover's, just as they were.. Everything Washirou and Kenjaku were supposed to have, was all Waka and Geto had.

Went to see a movie, here are my thoughts for those who are willing to read
(SPOILERS, PLEASE DON'T LOSE THE PLEASURE OF WATCHING IT FIRST YOURSELF)
1. Went to see Barbie today, not gonna lie it was one of the best movies I've watched since I think Puss in Boots: Last Wish
2. It's a movie that makes you tear up both from sadness and happiness
3. I love women. This film really shows the beauty of solidarity and fighting together for us to be treated as we should: with equal respect and importance
4. I just love how sooooo many cishet men were so mad and grrrrr rumbly that how dare a movie (based on dolls and feminism and flaws of our society and patriarchal system) dares to not be made specifically for them
5. I've also seen an opinion somewhere that it shows not only obvious idiocy of patriarchy but also matriarchy. And with that, I strongly agree, here are the couple of situations to visualise it:
While Barbies have various important, impactful roles (shown in the movie with doctors, noble prize winners, astronauts, fully female supreme court, president), Kens fulfill only most basic and trivial positions like just being a beach himbo. Sounds very, very, very familiar (with reversed sexes) when you think about stereotypical, male-centered media, no?
In one of the earlier scenes, the Weird Barbie makes an unsavoury "compliment" about Ken's nether regions, which is an obvious example of cat-calling and objectification
One of the scenes near the ending feels so much like something you'd say when women finally gained the ability to have some even slightly significant roles: you won't get access to the supreme court buuuut we'd allow you to rule in something local (later followed by the narrator's: and Kens were happy, maybe one day they'd get as much power as women have in the real world)
6. Ordinary. Barbie. It made my eyes create a freaking waterfall! Just because you're not a doctor, carrier oriented, mother, super duper smart, pretty, charismatic does not make you any less of a woman. There's no need to prove yourself to deserve respect!
7. And finally, the real real tear-jerker, if the last point was a waterfall, this one is like 10 waterfalls. When Barbie stands with Ruth Handler (her creator, Barbie's name is based on her real-life daughter, Barbara), and she closes her eyes to finally see what humanity and womanhood is... The visions of so so so many women: babies, young girls, workers, doctors, mothers, wives...
Being a woman is hard. Being a woman requires you to endure challenges always everywhere: double standards, sexism (not only ideological), never being on the winning position (if you present yourself modestly you lose, if you're more "openly" presenting you lose, if you're too thin you lose, if you're too fat you lose, if you're focused on the career you lose, if you want to be a homemaker you lose and many many more).
Being a woman is beautiful. Being a woman is empowering.
And I'm not only talking about cis women! Any person who identifies as a woman goes through these struggles and most importantly
DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT

ship ask - prosciutto/formaggio/ghiaccio :3
Send me two characters and I will tell you what my ideal ship dynamic is for these characters!
Oh, hell yeah! This has to be my favorite OT3 to think about because 1) these guys are my top three favorite members of La Squadra, hands down; and 2) I actually enjoy the idea of each possible pairing in this poly triangle. I have only written about Promaggio to date, so if anyone is curious, send me a ship ask for Prosciutto/Ghiaccio and Formaggio/Ghiaccio - but especially the former, because my vision for Proghia is wildly different from everything else that could be going on in Forghia, or in this three-style for that matter.
To my mind, this ship starts with Prosciutto and Formaggio having already hooked up, and Ghiaccio gravitating towards each of them for totally different reasons. On the one hand, to my mind Ghiaccio craves the sort of validation that actually means something, and Prosciutto is exactly the type of professional whom he could respect enough to actively seek his approval… and on the other hand, Formaggio is the sort of casually charismatic wild cat that someone like Ghiaccio would begrudgingly acknowledge to be "cool" because he himself struggles with presenting as self-confident and laidback in public. Now, Ghiaccio is self-conscious about all of this; there is no guarantee that he can get what he wants, but he can't help himself, so he starts awkwardly hanging around the charcuterie board. He might be observing them a little too obviously, he sometimes tries for conversation… and since Formaggio likes to tease and Prosciutto is so blunt, things would progress really fast once the two of them realized that Ghiaccio wants a bite of their Croque Monsieur.
And then I want Formaggio and Prosciutto to pair up on Ghiaccio and praise kink him into oblivion, but not in that "good boy" sort of way. I see that too often and I personally don't enjoy it. No, I want straightforward praises about his body and his endurance, about how good he feels, how strong he is, how great this is, on a very equal footing; remember, this is between three regular members of the team. The point is that Ghiaccio is completely melting from all this, he is absolutely putty in their hands all the way. From then on, he becomes this welcome addition to the fooling around, and gets more comfortable due to all the positive feedback and attention he is getting. Hell yeah.

Brief update
I haven't written anything long in a while because I haven't had a ton of time.
My latest writing class ended a few weeks ago. The course report I filled out wound up hurting my tutor's feelings so much that, even after I wrote multiple emails apologizing, she didn't want to continue tutoring me in the next class. I didn't think anything I wrote in the report would surprise her, but I was wrong.
It's what I get for trying to be honest. I wound up saying at the end of my apology email that they should either ask me for my feedback more often than one time at the end of the course, to avoid being surprised like that again, or not ask for it at all. I'll do the work either way.
Writing classes are hard work. I don't view them as supposed to be fun. I can write for fun on my own time. And I do. You have no idea how much I cracked myself up writing last month that showing a non-gamer a photo of Squall from FF8 would literally kill them, and that the UN is actually an organization devoted to wiping FF8 from the Earth. That's fucking hilarious to me, man. Love that shit. Didn't get a single note. Most of what I write doesn't. Doesn't bother me. It did bother me when that Doctor Worm story didn't get any notes. I've said that before, but it does still bug me a little. That was a good fucking story, and I don't care who says it isn't.
My cat, Tina, nearly died of some kind of nasal blockage or respiratory infection. For $65, she got a quick exam from a vet and some amoxicillin, and now, nine days after starting that (and with a couple of days left of the stuff to go), she seems much better. But she hasn't jumped or run to play with the cat toy in over a month. I think that her new normal will never be as good as it was even three months ago. That's life. The vet she's "doing great for her age." Her age is 89 in cat years. "Alive" is great. "Typical for her age" would be dead. It's like if you went to the gym and saw an 89-year-old woman walking on a treadmill going 3 miles per hour. "Wow," you'd say. "A twenty-minute mile? That's great for her age." But that's because most people who were born 89 years ago can't walk at all, because they're fucking dead. So are most cats who were born 18 years and three months ago, so, yes, Tina is doing great for her age.
I discovered a small leak in the roof of my garage this afternoon. I called my home insurance company and will hopefully have someone able to give me an estimate on what it will take to fix it soon so that I can determine if I need to make a claim or not. There have been multiple bad storms where I live recently, just like there have been literally everywhere on the continental US recently. Where I live has been pretty mild, comparatively.
I'm hoping it won't cost more than a couple thousand dollars to fix. I can afford that much, though it will hurt, a lot. I've been saving like crazy all year, and that will undo much of that saving, but it won't even put me as low as I was last year when I was literally begging for money on the internet.
It's been over two months since I said on my Animal Crossing blog that I would post my photos from Leap Day and the few days before it. I haven't done that yet, and that really does upset me. I try hard to be a man of my word.
I'm not talented. I'm not charismatic. I have very few innate abilities. There's only one thing I know how to do, and that's put in the work. I updated that Animal Crossing blog every day for nearly a decade, so believe when I say that 1) I know a fucking thing or two about a work ethic, and 2) I'm sorry I haven't posted those photos yet. It's been difficult to do much writing lately that isn't for my novel.
I had to throw away everything I'd been working on on the latest draft about three months into my last class. I'm still working on catching up. I have sixty days before the next class starts. I have ten chapters left to write before I can call this draft done. Can I do it? Of course I can. Who the fuck do you think I am?
But it means I don't have a ton of time to write for fun, or watch TV for fun, or play video games for fun, or anything for fun. Every night, after dinner, it's an hour of writing, at least.
It's not supposed to be fun. Even chess grandmasters, the ones who love the game so much that they become the best in the world, don't get that good by playing casually. They work at it. The only way to get to that kind of level is to work at it.
There's no such thing as good enough. There's better than the last thing, which is always possible, and there's perfection, which never is. That's all there is.
I'll be better later. Probably. I don't like to complain, so I try very hard to do it very rarely, but sometimes I go so long without saying anything at all that I think even complaining might be better than nothing.
Let me know if I'm wrong.
Let me know if I'm right.
Let me know anything at all. I don't like screaming into the void like this, but I sure have been doing it for over twenty years, haven't I.

Lost: Cat, Gem in Forehead: Chapter 4
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
"Prithani, would you come here a moment? I need to tell you something." Maya sat at the dining room table, with a mug of tea. Another mug sat on the table in front of Prithani's usual seat.
Five and a half years had passed since she found him in the desert, and he was now a handsome and charismatic young man. He entered the dining room, and took his seat. The look on Maya's face concerned him. "Maya, what is wrong?"
Maya looked into Prithani's eyes, her face solemn. She had agonized over this decision for a week, afraid of what he might think. "I wanted to keep this from you, but there is a part of my past that I now must share. ...I used to be part of a secret order, as part of the inner council. The Allegiance of the Nine Daggers. We would also have been known as assassins." She paused, and watched Prithani to see how he would react.
His eyes widened, and his face flickered through a range of emotions. He didn't know how to react at all. Prithani had come to love Maya as a son loves a mother. Assassins were killers, weren't they? He had heard stories of people who killed important leaders in Tameu and vanished without a trace. But she said used to be. For how long? Did she kill a lot of people? Could he even ask that? Finally, he found his voice. "Why... are you telling me this?"
Maya took a deep breath, then sighed. She looked tired. "One day, I believe you will leave this house and this town, and I wish to ensure you will be safe on your own. There is something you must understand, first. The Allegiance were not hired killers. We were a society that tried to guide Tameu towards unity, but would use any tactic available to us. Assassination was not a first resort, but it was a necessary tool sometimes. For the most part, we attempted to guide rulers, or sometimes put our own in place. We worked in darkness. However, there was a schism. I and a few others of the council left. I do not know what they do now, but old friends still tell me things."
Prithani looked more thoughtful now. This was something he had never heard about, at least in the small bubble of his life up to now. He rather expected this wasn't something even very well learned people knew about either. "Then... so... what did you do in this society?"
Maya sipped her tea, and stared at it. "As I said, I was one of its' council members. One of the people who would direct members, train new ones. Sometimes, I advised Nomarchs. If a new direction or course of action needed to be taken, the council would vote, and the order would follow that decision. There are many in the shadows, literally and metaphorically, aiding the cause, and it can be hard to keep track of them all, but for the most part, everyone moves towards that singular goal of unity."
"Did you... ever kill anyone?" Prithani asked, quietly.
The mug made a soft thump as it was set on the table, and Maya looked into Prithani's eyes. "Yes. I did it well, and quickly, and I was never seen. Three people. I do not wish to discuss this particular line of questioning further." Her face was serious as she spoke. "It was necessary. That is all I will tell you. Killing should never be taken lightly, and only done in the most extreme circumstances."
Prithani nodded. He was doing his best to meet Maya's steady gaze, but he could feel her eyes boring through his skull, as if she was making sure the information was being filed correctly. He knew better than to ask who she had killed. "Then... I am sorry, but I still do not understand why you are telling me this."
"Because I am going to train you," Maya replied. "You will learn the way of the Assassin, but you will not join the Allegiance. It is not the right life for you."
"Then why should I learn to be an Assassin?" Prithani asked.
"Tameu is dangerous," Maya said, gripping her mug tightly, "As I said, someday, you will leave, and with this training, I can ensure your safety."
Prithani looked at Maya in hurt confusion. "Why are you so sure that I will leave here?"
"It is the way of young people," she said, unwilling to tell him the true reason, "I am sure when you are older, you will want to find your own way, and share your music with many others."
Prithani considered this. Maya was probably right, as usual. He didn't want to leave her at the moment, but he occasionally wondered where he came from, or what was beyond the sands that surrounded their home. "What is this training like?"
Maya nodded, pleased that she seemed to be getting through to him. "You will learn stealth, how to lie to further your goals, as well as our ethics and philosophy. Finally, you will learn how to end fights quickly."
"Do you not mean how to fight?" Prithani asked, confused.
"No. I do not," Maya said sharply, shaking her head, "Fighting, and ending a fight quickly, are very different. You do not want a fight to last more than a few seconds, because the longer it goes, the more likely you are to lose. It must be quick, and merciless. However, ending a fight quickly does not mean killing. There are many ways to incapacitate a foe. You should also learn when to run away. This can also end a fight quickly. To fight is always a last resort, and to kill should be if there are no other options. Do you understand?"
Prithani nodded. "Yes, Maya."
"Good," Maya said, mollified. "We will begin tomorrow. For now, dinner will be ready in two hours. Do not be late."
The next few months were the start of a regimen quite unfamiliar to Prithani's more sedentary lifestyle. Morning stretches preceded calisthenics, and then a series of balance exercises. They would discuss philosophy and ethics in between each activity, along with the art of espionage, concealing emotion and telling convincing lies, including court manners. Afterwards came light sparring, which frequently stopped in order to correct an incorrect stance or clumsy movement. Sparring was perhaps the wrong word for it. Maya taught a series of movements to "end fights quickly". There were a number of grabs, throws, and strikes that she taught Prithani for any situation. For the next few weeks, his whole body ached as it got used to this punishment.
"Now, one of your most important weapons, Prithani, is your head." They were resting in the shade after Prithani had been getting thrown into the sand for about an hour. The sun hung in the cloudless sky, but there was a light breeze dancing through their fur.
"Yes, I know, Maya, I need to read my opponent properly before trying to strike." He felt bruises all over. The sand was soft, but Maya's arms and legs were like iron bars.
"No, mera baccha, your head." Maya lifted one finger, and poked the gem in Prithani's forehead, which made him flinch, then touched her own. "This is a secret weapon. One that not all Tameui have. Every Tameui has claws and fangs, but not every Tameui has a gem. Even so, not every Tameui with a gem knows they can use it in this way. To strike with the head is unexpected, faster than a limb, and your gem will focus the power to its' tip. Shāh Māt."
Light dawned in Prithani's eyes as he realized what she meant. "I never thought of that! Can you teach me?"
Maya smiled as she nodded. "Of course, but you must not use it in our contests, as it can easily break bone if done correctly. I will teach you the proper movements, and you will practice on inanimate objects."
Prithani nodded obediently, his eyes glittering with new possibility.
Head strikes became a part of the daily routine. Maya showed him that striking the soft tissue of the nose or mouth with his head was the best use of this strike, as it would stun, or knock an opponent out quickly. She also showed him proper form, as it would always hurt to headbutt someone, but you could minimize that self inflicted pain. When Prithani asked why they weren't practicing with magic, Maya reminded him that magic was how most Tameui fought. An Assassin must take every advantage they have to end a fight quickly, and being trained in hand to hand combat when your opponent was not, was a big advantage.
After half a year of hard work, Maya began to implement climbing and stealth into the regimen. First, scaling trees, then her own house, all without creating noise. She taught him to walk carefully, how to use color (not black, never black) to hide in shadow, and to use noise to mask quick movement. They even played a sort of hide-and-seek, to train his senses. Maya would hide somewhere, and Prithani would have to point out where she was, as he detected subtle wrongness in the area. Once he understood the basics, they moved to climbing around the rooftops of the town at night. Prithani enjoyed these nights the most. The night air, the stars in the sky, and the knowledge that no one else knew that the two of them were up above their heads. People, on the whole, do not look up, Maya told him.
It was now ten years since Maya had brought the thin and exhausted boy to her home. Their hide-and-seek had become more impromptu. Sometimes Maya would try to surprise Prithani, sometimes the other way around, by one pouncing on the other. Prithani had only managed to get her one time, but Maya assured him that he was doing quite well. She just had forty years of experience on him.
Prithani and Maya still trained every day, and Prithani even won some of their bouts.  They sometimes used training daggers now, as Maya knew, one day he would sadly need the knowledge. Combining the fist and the dagger enables a speed and flow of movement that many opponents cannot deal with. However, she drilled into his head that he should never be the first to draw. To draw a blade is to escalate a conflict, and would needlessly endanger him. Daggers were quick. If his opponent were to draw a sword, he could draw faster, and End the Fight Quickly.
A few years ago, they had heard news of a new Nomarch. Zuri, Guardian of the Southern Ruins, had accepted the throne from her grandmother, Ruwa. Prithani did not understand the troubled look Maya had when she heard the news, and when he pressed her for an explanation, she would not answer. Now, news of Kazrah's invasions were now reaching even their small town, but he had still not attacked Ankho. Prithani didn't seem worried by it, assuming that their small town wasn't important enough, but Maya worried that it would come any day now. She had been hearing rumors of an old friend for the past few months, and decided that now was the time.
Maya found Prithani outside, in the shade of the house. Like any day with a little time for himself, he played the oud. He had grown to be very handsome, and good with words. His voice was rich and resonant, like the instrument he played every day. He would be perfect for what she had planned. They had even managed to curb his humming, at least a bit. "Mera baccha, I have something for you."
Prithani stopped playing, and looked up at Maya. He gave her a wide grin. "Is it another thrashing?"
"It will be, if you keep on making jokes." Maya's mock fierce expression made Prithani laugh. She would miss his laugh, deep and bright, it filled any space he was in. Her face softened. "No, Prithani, it is a letter. I have been hearing that the Nomarch of Nehra has been looking for talented musicians, and I would like you to travel there. Your music is too beautiful for only this small town, and I believe you will serve her well." Even better than either of you know, she thought.
"You want me to go see Princess Ima?" Prithani's confused expression was plain on his face. "Do I not have more to learn?"
Maya shook her head. "You have learned all I can teach you. I know this must feel sudden, but you can always write to me, and the sooner you get to her, the better. It is a great opportunity, and Nehra is beautiful. You are extremely capable, and have taken my lessons to heart. You are ready."
For once, Prithani couldn't decide what to say. He didn't want to leave, but he could feel wanderlust tugging at him. Over the years, he had heard stories of ancient heroes, tales of lands far away, and something in his nature dragged him to find... something. After a long time, he nodded. "If you say I am ready, then I will go."
"You are. I know it." She stared at him with misty eyes. Quickly, she rubbed at them, to avoid full tears, and turned to go inside. "Follow me, there is something you must take with you."
Prithani followed his teacher into the house, placing his oud in its case and locking it tight. Once inside, Maya presented him with an ornate wooden box, finely lacquered. "Do not open this," she instructed, as staying matter-of-fact and giving him orders was currently the only way she was holding it together, "Nor will you open the letter. They are both sealed, and must stay this way, as they are for Princess Ima. Do you understand?"
Prithani nodded dutifully. "Yes, Maya."
"Good." Maya placed the box and letter inside a sack, and placed them on the table. "Now, I have made preparations for you. There is a caravan leaving tomorrow for Nehra. You are to go with them, only as a passenger. If trouble arises, they should have plenty of guards, you need not assist. Do you understand?"
Prithani fidgeted, then nodded again. He wanted to use the skills he had learned, but Maya's word was law. "Yes, Maya."
"Good!" Suddenly, Maya couldn't think of anything else. She could feel a lump rising in her throat. Her voice began to grow hoarse. "Now... Now I suppose we should head to town. We must celebrate your last day here, and your friends w-will miss you." Damn it all, she could feel her lower lip quivering, and her tail was twitching back and forth.
"Maya? ...Are you okay?" Prithani asked, starting to become anxious. He had never seen his teacher like this in all his ten years here.
Without warning, she threw her arms around Prithani, hugging him so tightly he was sure he could feels ribs cracking. He could feel her shaking, and he realized that Maya was crying. He wrapped his arms around her as well, holding her close as he felt hot tears pour down his own cheeks. "I w-will write, I promise. Every day."
"I am sorry, P-Prithani... I am s-so sorry..."
The words were almost too quiet for him to hear, but he squeezed her tighter. "You have nothing to apologize for. Thank you, Maya, for everything. I owe you my life."
The pair stayed this way for a long time. When they finally managed to pull apart, staring at each other, they each felt dehydrated. They both looked like a mess. Maya's makeup had run, and Prithani's face fur was matted with dried tears. Realizing that they both must look ridiculous, the two persians burst out laughing, hugging tightly one more time before separating. Each wore huge grins as they stared at each other.
Maya was the first to speak. "You must be sure to write! I have to know what my Prithani is doing in beautiful Nehra! It does not have to be every day, but do write to me. You will also take my dagger. Remember me by it." She unhooked her dagger from her belt, and handed it to Prithani. He took it with great care, and drew it, inspecting the blade. The handle was a work of art, but fit perfectly in the palm, and almost felt as an extension of the hand. The blade shined brightly in the light, with a slightly different hue to other steel he had seen, but it was simple, as it had one purpose. Prithani could feel the weight of Maya's history within it.
Prithani nodded and sheathed the dagger again, smiling as Maya wiped tears from his eyes. "I could never forget you, Maya. You are the only mother I have known. I will make you proud."
"I know you will, mera baccha. My child. My life. Now go clean up, and get your cloak on. Let us tell everyone the news."
Two cloaked and hooded figures strode across the sands towards the town. One leaned against the other as they laughed and joked. This would be their last night together for longer than either of them would know. They made it count.
The End

Yes you did! Omg how much are you writing skdjfmk did it have a bigger impact than the sour series? I’m sorry for the spoilers, I try to wait to reblog but if I don’t answer after a while I just forget about it 💀I’m sure you will love Jaemin in the story!
1. I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Finally a non-traumatic experience😭you truly lived your y/n moment omg and he is! I saw him years ago and I still have him impressed in my mind and I wasn’t that close HOW did you NOT pass out?

2. HE GOT YOUR GIFT OMG OSJDOFJOD you really are the chosen one please share a bit of your luck (no okay I’m convinced that this was destiny/god/universe/whatever you want to call it, paying you back for the trauma of November) is this the video? also how are you alive pt2? no because it must be so thrilling to know he has something you gave him 😭
3. have fun at aespa’s concert! Say hi to my girlfriend Ningning 😔
4. Warn him that if he dares to hurt you I will have to intervene (we’re not doing a traitor pt2) the Haechan thing took me out I’m sorry, it’s so funny 😭😭 but seriously do what feels right for you and don’t feel pressured just because he likes you a lot
About me there’s not much to say. Like I said I’m trying to find a job but I chose the worst field possible so it’s been hard as hell, I thought I found something but then she changed her mind after I did the trial (I was good, I was really good and she was impressed but for some reason she went from ‘being overloaded with work’ to ‘mhh you know how it is, you never know how much work you have, I can’t hire you’ lmao) and now I keep looking for something. But I’m quite fine when I don’t think too much about my future and feel like a failure lol

hihi wifey, im feeling kinda anxious/sad in general so can i request just have satan + asmo being jealous tysm ❤️❤️❤️
JEALOUS SATAN & ASMO.
Tumblr media
a/n ;; sorry that this is late and i apologize if this is sucky ! head’s been empty but i’m trying desperately not to get writer’s block </3 also, asmodeus’ part got longer than expected, oops.
cw ;; threats, insecurities, hurt-ish/comfort. satan is a moody baby and asmodeus appreciation/supremacy. not proof-read. that’s all, really, besides some cranky demons.

@ others making him jealous . . .
whoever has the audacity to go and make the literal avatar of wrath jealous definitely has a death wish. whether or not some random demon who was getting too touchy, flirting, or taking up your time and attention with or without knowing that you were his partner, he’d still get pissed. 
however, he has two reactions: either, 1. he storms up to them and puts them in their place/threatens them before pulling you away if he hasn’t destroyed something, or 2. he’s just on the verge ... sitting there, peeking over a book with a menacing aura as he glares at everyone like a cat, ready to claw someone in the corner. 
satan trusts you, so if he goes with the latter, he’ll be silently raging internally while he waits for you to tell them you have a boyfriend and decline their advances. if they continue to push you when you already told them no, that’s when blondie here will snap and go with reaction 1.
“oi, just what do you think you’re doing ? my s/o already said no, you pitiful creature(s). quit gawking at them before i forcefully make you. understand?”
@ brothers making him jealous . . .
on the other hand, if it’s one of his brothers hogging all of your attention, he gets more petty than anything, really. the threats are still there, though. and especially if it’s lucifer who’s stealing you away ... yikes, everyone in HoL will know his change in mood as he’s been on lucifer’s ass more than usual with his pranks and curses.
satan will be visibly annoyed and give each and every one of you the cold shoulder by locking himself in his room more often than not (leviathan the hermit, who ?) to get lost in his books until he gets reassurance and affection from you.
he’s not really insecure, but more lost and confused than anything. he’s the brother that’s pretty much the odd one out, though none of them treat him differently, and he’s always had an issue with feeling enmeshed to lucifer. 
even when he knows he’s his own person, he was created from a quite literal ungodly amount of rage and wrath. it’s all he’s known before you came along into his life. so surely ... you’ll excuse him for looking like a kicked puppy as he tries to sort through these new feelings, right ? 
right, because you’re already there holding his hand in reassurance. that same rough hand that’s tortured and destroyed so many things is being held by someone so fragile ... someone who’s looked death in the eye ... someone who makes him feel like he’s something more than just a monster. 
you truly were just like that main character in one of his books ... you were the beauty to his beast. or, properly phrased, you brought out the beauty in his beast. 
Tumblr media
# asmodeus. ``
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
@ others making him jealous . . .
‘oh, honey, you look like rumpelstiltskin, yet you still think you can compare to me ?‘ pretty much his thought process right there.
no but really, asmo may be sweet and the most gentle out of the brothers right next to beel, but he’s still an avatar of a sin. there’s no doubt that the lot of demons there in the devildom would be intimidated by asmodeus in the competition for your love - and honestly, who could blame them ?
most of them who don’t live under a rock would already know that you two are in a relationship with how much asmo posts about you, so it would take some serious devotion from any demon who dares to have the gall to compete with him - whether or not they view you as a fling - and asmodeus will not hesitate to get petty. 
you’re going to need to reassure your demon boyfriend here that you only have eyes for him before he exposes the second half of deep, dark secrets this other person/people have on the internet ^^;;
@ brothers making him jealous . . .
he’d still think of himself as somewhat superior and cuter, but he’d tone things down. he wouldn’t ruin his brothers’ lives like how he would be willing to do so with strangers.
regardless of whether or not it’s a stranger, friend, or brother of his, in the end, asmo will be extra touchy and will spoil you with more spa dates and trips to majolish than usual. this is mostly because he doesn’t want you to notice his recent gloomy change in mood as he’s stuck on the thought of ‘what if’ had you really left him for someone else. 
those intrusive thoughts just keep on swarming through his head ... so what better than to try to get back into routine with daily life ? he just hopes you haven’t taken notice, but unfortunately for him, you have. 
you’ve noticed his slightly disheveled hair and outfit along with the mountain of clothes and makeup piling up in his room and his vanity. plus, let’s not begin to even mention the excessive amount of concealer he’s been wasting to try and hide his eyebags.
things finally begin to progress in the communication area when you sit him down and confront him one night while everyone’s asleep. though, getting him to work through the root of his charismatic-party-animal mask proves to be quite difficult.
“dear, it’s adorable how you care so much for me, but you’re really going to get wrinkles this way. here, come a little closer and let me do your skincare first, then we’ll chat ... c’mon ~ i said closer, hon. i don’t bite ... well, unless you want me to ~”
“asmo, baby ...” you cut him off for the nth time that night as he tried to change the subject again, watching the demon with champagne-colored hair who flung himself at you again glance at you with his cheeky smile faltering for a split second before he quickly regained his composure, but it wasn’t anything that you couldn’t catch onto. “please, stop changing the topic. i’ve come to talk to you ... the real you. no spontaneous activities, no makeovers, just you.”
asmodeus’ face paled ever so slightly and his eye twitched as he thought of playing dumb, but you were just so sincere. he couldn’t even manage out a ‘whatever do you mean ?’ before laughing in disbelief while turning the other way. “this - this is the real ..... the real ... me ... i have no clue what you’re talking about ...” he choked out while tears glossed over his eyes, his back turned to you. 
in his theatrics and dramatic antics, he’d fake cry occasionally, but to truly feel such strong, negative emotions especially towards himself as he cried ... it was ugly. he was ugly. and now, surely if you saw his face, you’d leave him too. for he was such a shallow, ugly, good-for-nothing demon. no matter how much he polished his attitude to be sassy and charismatic or tried on the latest trending outfits and makeup, there was always this feeling of emptiness left in him. not like the black hole everyone called beel’s stomach, but this void left in his heart, this hurting in his chest that wouldn’t go away when the afterglow of each party and hookup arrived, this longing for warmth - not even just physically - for someone to hold him like he did for his brothers on their lonesome nights when they remembered the past.
the avatar of lust was knocked out of his thoughts by a pained noise, confusion written on his face before he realized it was himself. he was sobbing into your chest as you held him close, your fingers delicately carding through his tousled hair. ugly. he thought each sorrowful noise that came out of him was ugly, and he couldn’t help but chant sorry’s your way through tears. he didn’t know when you had came closer once more to hold him, but he buried his face into your shirt and finally let loose the flood of his emotions clinging desperately to you.
“p-please ... don’t go away too, s/o. you’re the true jewel of the devildom, my dear. you’re so much more beautiful than i’ll ever be ... and i ... i don’t mean that just by l-looks ... please ... i love you so much ...”
