I'm blushing so hard because of the praise, please have mercy-

Jumping off the ideas you gave me, I came up with short drabbles. This is likely not going to be good.

Warning of the description of wounds and blood. As well as a major character death. Also, usage of mothman’s real name because I headcanon that reader probably knows it since they met his family before.

It was a sunny clear sky, a perfect day to relax in the sun and spend time with loved ones. Yet why did it end up like this? Why did it end up with your form, battered and broken, weakly staring at him with nothing but love and affection? There were so many wounds… Gashes on your legs, arms, torso… You were also cover in bruises too… Big ones, the size of his hand. Why didn’t you hate him? He did this to you, failing to hold back enough. He failed to bring you back until it was too late. Your breathing was labored and he noticed how much effort it took for you to keep your eyes open. Your lips painted crimson with blood parted but no sound came out. Your fingers weakly curled around the sharp claws, stained with blood. Your blood. He cradled your weakened form gently as if you were going to crumble and fade if he held too tight. You can hear his accelerated heartbeat and his constant whining, knowing that you were done for. You lost so much blood and were in so much pain, and the battlefield was hundreds of miles away from any location that can provide medical care. You coughed, covering his chest with blood but he didn’t care. You laughed weakly and apologized as loud as you could, which was a faint whisper. Your eyes were glossy with tears. “‘M sorry that… this happened. If only I didn’t go…” Your body would then shake more, causing the wounds he tried to cover in vain to reopen and ooze more blood. Your eyelids would flutter, you knew that you were on your last few breaths. “Promise you’ll live for me…? Be happy… I love you… Ajax…” With the last of your strength, you would take off the necklace you were wearing and would wrap it around his wrist. It was a friendship necklace that you worked so hard to make. He wore his ‘bracelet’ on his other wrist. His was purple and blue, having a little narwhale and moth. Yours was in your favorite color as well as having the things that fit you the most. The tears would fall down your face as your eyes close, your body going limp. His whines would grow louder and he would hold your still warm, limp body against him. His whines would then turn into an anguished shriek-cry, almost like a scream. His body would shake as he cried, not moving from where he was. He didn’t care for anything anymore right now. He would stay there, even becoming a husk if he wished to. His beloved light, you, had faded by his own hands.

Warning for torture-like elements? Also, mothman’s real name is used again. I’m not sure what to put.

It was dark, cold, and painful. You cried out in agony as your very being was transformed, becoming something not human. You feel as if you were stabbed with thousands of blades, ripped apart, and then sewed back together crudely. Your haunting cries echoed cruelly through the silence, further solidifying the fact that you were alone. You sobbed, not sure of how much more of this torture you can take. Your stature would grow in size, hands turning into claws. Your face would burn as a mask would painstakingly grow on it. You would desperately try to claw it off with your growing claws, drawing blood that would slowly become less red and human. The color would then grow more reminiscent of galaxies. Your back would arch as the pain amplified, wings growing from them. Your cries were not human anymore, now they sound like your beloved roommate whenever he was in pain. You didn’t even notice anymore, your mind foggy as you collapse once the transformation was complete. You would shakenly gt yourself up and tried to find a way out, wanting to leave this place. Your eyes would land on a wall that had enough holds to climb, however climbing would be a chore with how much you were shaking. You would then start the long and pain-filled journey, falling from your grip being too weak from the way your hands were different. No, from the way your entire being was different. Your muscles ached and screamed at you to give up but you kept fighting on, wanting to see the harbor again. Wanting to see Ajax again. You imagined his soft and gentle embrace surrounding you, lulling you into security with his deep purrs. Your claws balled with determination and after what seemed like an eternity, you would break free to the surface. Body running solely on adrenaline now, you would go to your secret place where only Ajax would know where to find you. You often would go there and you hoped that he would come soon before you passed out. Because you feared if the harbor would find your unconscious body, they would believe that you were a monster and would kill you with no hesitation and not realizing the monster was you. You would wait and wait, your one eye drooping. You would lean against the rocks a boneless heap, the adrenaline finally wearing off. You tried to futilely fight off sleep but would lose the battle. Your eyes would close and you would fall into a dark slumber, mind roaming with nightmares.

i will praise you more because you deserve it!!! if anyone here ever needs a mood booster i will try to be your personal hype person :D also you take those words right back these are AMAZING and i don't take other opinions

i imagine that for the first one he'd sit hunched over your body until someone (probably Zhongli or Baizhu because they can approach him) tries to take you away, to which he shrieks in anguish and tries to follow but someone holds him back to treat his own injuries. maybe you're buried somewhere remote, and Childe starts living near your grave and watching over it. perhaps it becomes a piece of folklore, about a grave with an eternal, monstrous guard. someone with that powerful of a creature watching over their tomb has to be important right? and you are important, but not in the way they think. you're important to Childe because you loved him, not because you were a great warrior or anything. even with the people whispering and gossiping he still watches over your bones and ashes, doing his best to make sure the tombstone is clean and whole. even as his body grows weak from lack of food and good sleep he does this, as his way of being as close to you as possible. after all, Childe can't die, not naturally anyway.

OH THE SECOND ONE IS A PERRRFECT ADDITION TO THE TRANSFORMATIVE AU- MAYBE A DIFFERENT PATH WHERE YOU FALL INTO THE ABYSS ALONE. Childe would find you in that secret location, caught in the grasp of some nightmare. he wouldn't know it was you at first, jumping back with his claws out and fangs bared. but then he'd stop, because beneath the layers of Abyss on you is your faint, familiar scent. he gets cautiously closer and is overwhelmed because while it may not look like you, it feels like you, and you're hurting, you're suffering, and he desperately wants to help. he can see the blood on your claws and face where you had torn at the mask as it grown, and he can hear your terrified whimpers from your nightmare. he scoots next to you, pressing against your side and laying a sparkly wing over you as he gently nuzzles the side of your head. you're vaguely conscious and you reach for his arm, crying out as pain sparks through your body and his heart aches, aches as he tries to comfort you with soft coos and purrs. he'll have to get help for you later, but right now there's only you and him, together.

#genshin impact #genshin childe #genshin tartaglia #foul legacy #foul legacy childe #chit chat #anon #*sets tea down* WOOO SORRY I WENT A LITTLE OVERBOARD #i do that a lot not gonna lie but you know what it's fun and that's what matters!!#which is also what i say to you!! don't worry about if your brainrot or writing is 'good' or 'bad'- if it makes you happy just do it!!#you can show it to other people or keep it as a little gift to yourself!!#that's what i intended to do with the first fic on this blog but i decided to post it because maybe it'll help other people #i don't want anyone to feel scared or judged here <3 #short scenario #transformative au

State of the Damn Wienerfic

I’ve finally finished the “thousand years ago” section of my OC’s backstory, which is a big relief to me. The first 141 chapters of Luffa: The Legendary Super Saiyan were intended to develop the title character as a protagonist in her own right, and not just a guest star or supporting player to the main cast, like Tapion in “Wrath of the Dragon”. I was always worried that I’d meet some untimely end before I finished, and no one would know how things turned out for her.

From 142 onward, I’m flashing forward to the events of Dragon Ball:Xenoverse. It’s not going to be a total adaptation of the game’s story mode, but I did like the notion that if I ever reached this point, the fic has a tenative ending, and a curious reader could run Xenoverse 1 on Steam and get a general idea of what happens next. But I’m still alive, so I guess I’ll go ahead and write my version.

It’s still surreal to me that I’ve reached this milestone. I’ve thought about it for so long and now it’s here. I wrote the bulk of #142 last November, and some other material that still needs to be organized, and my goal for this year’s NanoWriMo is to plow forward. A lot of things will be different, and I think one of them is that I feel like I can be more open about the creative process. So if you want to see how the sausage is made, click the read more. If you’d rather see how crayons are made, watch this video below.

youtube

There’s a Sesame Street version of this, but those are all orange crayons, and I like yellow better. Also I like the way Mr. Rogers says “crayons”.

All right, now that those weird crayon people are distracted, let’s talk about Luffa.

I came up with the idea around 2004, I think. DBZ was done airing in the U.S., and I wanted to write some sort of fanfic about it, but I was having trouble coming up with ideas. I felt like the main story had wrapped up very well with Z, and GT only seemed to prove that you can’t top the original story. So I started thinking about the lore, and that led me to the Legendary Super Saiyan that Vegeta spoke of in DBZ Episode 66.

There were a few things that bugged me about the DBZ fandom at the time. Mostly I was just reading the GameFaqs boards to find any hot scoops about upcoming DBZ games, and no one really knew much of anything, so the board was mostly guys shooting idle speculation back and forth. Occasionally someone would bring up the fact that we never saw any female Super Saiyans, which led some to suspect that such a thing must be impossible. The one explanation that stuck in my craw was that “women can’t get angry enough”. Usually, misogynists are always saying women are too emotional to do anything else, so by that logic, you’d think it would be much easier for Saiyan women. They’d just flip out whenever a stray laser bolt fries their hair, like Daphne Zuniga in “Spaceballs.”

The other thing that bugged me was the Broly-worship in some circles. One way or another, Broly hype reached American fans well before the Funimation dub of Movie 8. I remember the official promotions from Funimation acknowledging that fans kind of already knew who the guy was. For a few years before 2003, I think Broly became this mythical figure, like your friend whose uncle works for Nintendo, or “Q” telling 4-chan all about how everyone you don’t like is going to get arrested soon. I’m pretty sure this is why you can still find Broly fanart where he’s beating up Galactus, Kid Buu, and Superman, to name a few. I think a lot of fanboys got it in their head that Broly could kick anybody’s ass, which is weird because he can’t even win in his own movies.

I think even the official stuff played into this idea, since Broly would often be used as a special bonus boss in a lot of video games, so you beat Kid Buu and then hold on, now you have to fight Broly. So it’s not hard to get the vibe that he’s the real final boss of everything. I’m curious how the 2018 version of Broly will affect the perception of the character, but it’s probably too soon to tell. In the mid-2000′s, though, it felt like a lot of people believed that Broly was a more legitimate Super Saiyan than Goku or the others, by virtue of being green and irrationally violent.

So this was on my mind when I thought about what to do with the Super Saiyan from 1000 years ago. I felt like there were people who wanted to believe that this character was a lot more like Broly than Goku, which is dumb, because the whole point of Super Saiyan Goku was that he was taking on the same role as the last guy. And, for my money, the moral of Goku going Super Saiyan was that he was the only Saiyan of his generation who understood the same thing all the old Super Saiyans did. Something about his upbringing on Earth helped him reach that level. All the other Saiyans were too contaminated by their own culture of ruthless dickery.

And so I thought that it would really flip the script if I wrote a story about that Legendary Super Saiyan and made him very different from the fanboy perception of Broly. And I’d make him a her, just to twist the knife. Not only is this not Broly, but she’s one of those women Super Saiyans everyone thinks can’t happen. I doubt anyone from GameFaqs in 2007 would even notice my fic, but I’d like to think they’d be pissed about what I’ve done.

I tried writing some of this down in 2006, but I didn’t get very far, mostly because I was intimidated by the scope of the idea. I didn’t think I could do a long story, but I wasn’t sure a short story could get the idea across. So I just didn’t do it at all, and kept thinking about it from time to time. I wanted to make Luffa as a custom character in a video game, if they ever made a game with CAC features. Ultimate Tenkaichi had it, but you could only make a Saiyan man... which just reinforced my motivations for doing this kind of a story.

Finally, Dragon Ball Xenoverse debuted a more robust CAC feature in 2015, and I could design the character properly. I didn’t have much in the way of ideas, so I just sort of let the gameplay take me where it would. The game is set in the future, and Trunks just wishes for an ally, so who’s to say that this ally couldn’t have come from the past? You do a lot of grinding in the game, and there’s a lot of exposition, and that gave me time to think about what what Luffa had been doing right before she got to this place. And slowly, I started to iron out what I wanted to write.

Her costume was just a convenience, really. I went with short hair because the long hair doesn’t “float” when you go Super Saiyan in the game. I wanted some sort of old-school looking armor, but everything in the game was based on costumes from the show, and the “Saiyan” armor in DBZ was Frieza’s thing. It wouldn’t have existed a thousand years earlier. I might have gone for something like Cabba’s outfit in Dragon Ball Super, but that wouldn’t be available until a few years later. So that left me with a choice between a baggy martial arts dogi or the skin tight Pilot Suit. The Pilot Suit is kind of... distracting, since it’s just a skin, and the developers make you stare at the character’s ass the whole time. On the other hand, a baggy dogi kind of made her look like Cell Games Gohan. So I went with baggy pants and fitted shirts.

The black and yellow color scheme was mostly so I wouldn’t confuse my character from the others appearing on the screen during fights. That ruled out purple, orange, and blue, since the Z-Fighters wear those. I resisted yellow, because that’s my favorite color, but later I realized black and yellow is perfect, because that’s the color scheme of the giant ape in Vegeta’s flashback.

Playing the game helped motivate me to actually sit down and write the story, because I finally had a fleshed out character that I could see and do things with. And making her fight DBZ characters got me to consider how she would react to those concepts. Would she respect Vegeta’s royal bloodline, or would she be unimpressed like Goku? How would she feel about Frieza’s destruction of their home planet? Would she even recognize it as her home planet? How does she feel about the fact that no one remembers anything about her?

My goal for the first 141 chapters was to build a world and a backstory that would set up the answers to those questions. The villains in that part of the story are all misogynists of one stripe or another. They view women as tools to be exploited, or as enemies to be eliminated, or as distractions to be ignored. They see Luffa doing her thing and they all say “She can’t do that,” and then she does it harder.

Now that I think about it, I suppose the appeal to the character, and the thing that frustrates her so much, is that she’s just trying to be herself, but all these buttholes in the universe are outraged by it, and yet they just can’t stop her. They want her to die, or go away, or become something else, something they can accept, but she just refuses to do that, and she’s got the raw power to tell them all where they can shove it. This whole thing is my ham-fisted attempt to write a feminist allegory with Saiyans in it, and I’ll never be good enough to get it exactly right, but you know, it’s not as hard as I thought it would be. Along the way, some LBGT stuff started to get into the mix, and I thought “Well, I’m really in the deep end of the pool now.” I’m sorry if I got anything wrong, but I think I did okay. I’m not breaking any records, but I managed to avoid drowning, right?

Anyway, that’s why the Saiyans hate her guts, because all the Saiyans in DBZ resented Goku as being weak and worthless. Even when Goku surpassed Vegeta, Vegeta still thought he lacked the killer instinct to be a “““true”“““ Super Saiyan. Luffa’s got plenty of killer instinct, but the Saiyans hate her out of jealousy and fear. Vegeta accused Trunks of lying about being a Saiyan, because his hair wasn’t the right color. I wanted to make a whole population of Saiyans who would quibble over those kinds of details. “The stone the builders have rejected has become the capstone.”

This is also why I made the Saiyan King the main villain, because I wanted to echo Goku’s conflict with Vegeta, and King Vegeta’s conflict with Paragus and Broly. If there’s a Super Saiyan every thousand years, then what happens to the second strongest Saiyan whenever that day comes? Does he stand aside like John the Baptist, or does he refuse to accept the changing times?

The purpose of all of this was to explain why Vegeta remembers the legend of the Super Saiyan, but nothing about the person. Why doesn’t he know Luffa’s name, or what color her pants were? Because his ancestors hated her, and suppressed the parts of her story that they didn’t like. Even as Vegeta recalls what little he knows, he thinks “I never actually believed it.”

Okay, but Luffa had friends, right? Wouldn’t they have left a record for future generations? Well maybe, but how long would it take to fade into obscurity? And Luffa’s kind of a private person. Everyone in her inner circle avoided the spotlight. There’s a move about her, but it’s filled with wild inaccuracies. Eyewitnesses to her battles can only describe a glowing blur. Close-up footage just shows an irritable Saiyan woman with a strange dyejob. Most civilians find regular Saiyans to be pretty extraordinary as they are. A Super Saiyan doesn’t seem that much more impressive.

What you wind up with is this legacy of battles that were fought and won by a single, mighty warrior, but no one can agree on what that warrior was exactly. At some point, enough time passes where the Saiyans are willing to reclaim the legend. “Yeah, that guy had to be a Saiyan. Who else could do all those things?” But the things she stood for and learned along the way, that’s all lost.

I just didn’t think it’d take me 647,471 words to explain all of that. But now I can finally write the part with all the popular characters in it. Right now, my big problem is that I have to slap together a few more OC’s and I need to figure out just what the hell Towa’s deal is. The Dragon Ball Wiki attempts to explain whatever happens in those Dragon Ball Heroes games, but it doesn’t seem like they wrote any of it to fit a coherent narrative. I’d like to use as much official Demon Realm lore as possible, if only because that’s what Towa and Demigra’s fans would be familiar with, but I’m not sure how this is going to look. I mean, they’re gonna get an ass-whoopin’, I know that part, but I’d like to flesh out their characters before the beating starts.

Anyway, I got my work cut out for me. But at least the soundtrack will be epic.

Alright. Honestly hour time.

Warning for those that wanna avoid this sorta thing: This is gonna be a post about depression shit so if you can't handle that atm please keep scrolling. I'll be fine if you don't check in on me ❤️

I know I haven't been active as much lately. My posting has kinda staggered, my art even moreso. And firstly I wanna say I am not giving up. Never through any of this have I once thought about just quitting this blog and abandoning my art and this community cause it has brought me so much happiness and become a little home for me.

Secondly I wanna thank everyone for still sticking around, and welcome to those of you that just followed. I also apologize to you for the lack of content.

Everything really comes down to my life kinda changing and fucking up my depression addled brain immensely. I started this blog in highschool, I was welcomed into an amazing friendly talented community that I adored and I somehow started getting more followers abd attention for my art than I ever dreamed I'd have anytime soon. I was motivated as all hell, I had a stable life structure. Friends I saw nearly everyday, I knew to an extent what the future held. I was content to draw my heart out and go about life as I always had with a lil flash of happiness in the form of a dumb vore and gt blog I'd made on a whim. I even started an ask blog, it wasn't even supposed to be an aso blog. It was supposed to be a seperate blog for same size bellies that just turned into an ask blog. Unfortunately, I haven't posted there in a long time. But I adored every second of it and I hope to one day resurrect it too.

And then highschool neared its end. I was nervous but confident, I had gone through highlschool with depression and anxiety and adhd and I'd convinced myself that once I got into college, everything would be great. I'd be studying on my own terms about topics I loved. But as it turns out, college wasn't exactly like that. I got lonely, I struggled to make friends. My first roommate hated me. I didn't know anyone there, I spent every night falling asleep jext to someone who got pissed at me for stsying in the bathroom to cry for too long. This is when productivity on the blog started to get a liiittle bit wobbly.

After some time I just couldn't take it and I begged to come home. I left that school and enrolled in a local community college while living at home. I found the classes there to be more challenging for me. I failed in more than one course, got bad grades in an art class for the first time in my life. I was costing my family money and I still couldn't seem to make friends. After a long time of trying and just not working, I was put on academic probation. And I made a decision to not come back. This is where my productivity and mental health and the blog itself flopped I think.

I started living at home, simply going about life every day getting up, playing some games, talking to some friends online, and that's about it. I tried to force myself to get a job, a driver's license, an internship, anything to make up for my lack of productivity. But a horrible combination of unpreparedness, depression, and major anxiety made doing those things impossible. I had a job briefly, one that I wasn't told was a holiday job only and I was let go without being told. Simply never scheduled again. It made my anxiety on the matter worse. And on top of it all, it turned out that a stable life structure was a major motivator for my art. I doodled a TON at school. Daydreamed and came up with ideas, had my mind going. It's why I did so much on my blog at that time. But now, with a lack of structure for going on 3 years now, I seem to have lost a lot of that drive. I still love art, I still wouldn't dream of giving it up. But it's so difficult for me to get myself to do it anymore. I've fallen deeper into depression, I've slowly been losing contact with my in person friends, I've started comparing myself harshly and getting pissed at myself for wasting my life and doing nothing. I try to do commissions A: for money and B: because it makes me feel like I'm trying, like I'm worth something. But even that now has come with its issues. I'm finding my lack of motivation is making getting commissions done very difficult for me lately. And in my mind I'm constantly hearing my own voice screaming at me to get shit done. Cause people have been waiting. They're still waiting. They've been waiting longer than anyone should have to wait for art. Especially art like mine.

And with the lack of motivation, comes a lack of practice. And I start to get more pissed at myself. I haven't been happy or prpud of my own art in a long time. And I've started comparing myaelf ruthlessly. I've gotten so bad that sometimes, even thinking about the concept of other artists makes me feel worthless. I can barely look at a piece of someone's art without twisting it to make me feel like I'm not good at art. And it isn't fair to the artists. Because they've done nothing to deserve that form if thinking. I've started avoiding looking at other's art because of it. Because I just don't want to feel bad about myself. And tgat just sends me into fits of guilt. I should be proud of them, I should take their wonderful skill as motivation for myself as well as celebrate their accomplishments. But I can't stop analyzing and hating myself. That's why I haven't been reblogging much, why I'm not online often. And it's bullshit and I'm so very sorry.

Overall, I'm just in a terrible spot in life right now. I don't know how I'm gonna get out of it, if I even ever will, where my life will go from there. I'm tired of feeling this way, I miss my life in highschool so very much. and I'm so sorry my friends. You've all been so supportive and believing and kind and encouraging. And every day that passes I can't help but feel like I've failed you. Every single person I've talked to on this blog or haven't, every other artist in the community, every person I've promised a commission or request or art trade to and still haven't delivered. I'm sorry. I'm trying so hard to find that spark of happiness again, I've taken the steps. But I'm not sure if I'll find it, and if I do it probably won't be anytime soon. I'm sorry. I hope you all know how very much I love you. And thank you for veing here with me.

#medli's sad adventure #sorry for long post at 3am #I do hope I don't other anyone with this #not vore or g/t

I'm tired of Nintendo

I had enough for the last pokemon games and I'm so fucking angry that I bought a switch for this game that I might just not buy it. You know what ? Fuck you Nintendo. Having to pay for everything on a pokemon game is shitty and you're just looking for money. And you just won't admit it.

Before, we could transfer pokemons to a game of the next generation just by finishing the game. Easy. They kept that up until the 5th gen and after that, because ( I quote ) "tHerE Is NO PosSibLE WaY tO TranSFeR PokEmOns frOm Ds To tHe 3dS"

Okay, fine, whatever. So you have to pay to get your parteners through the new games x and y. But sorry, that excuse ISN'T VALID ANYMORE for the 7th gen. If the problem was to pass to the 3DS it's not the case anymore, so already fucked up on that point. But still, with wondertrade and GTS we had a way to get our favourite pokemons.

Now, we have so much bullshit that I can't even be more furious.

The console was super SUPER expensive compared to the other portable consoles from Nintendo ? Ok. I managed to work a hell lot to get enough money to finally buy it. No, not all the parents can afford something like that and especially not the children themselves BUT pokemon is a game mainly made for young people. That's already super dumb but I got through it. It was x1,5 the price of a 3DS when it came out, I mean COME ON.

The games are 20$, which is ALSO x1,5 the last generation's price. And it's a LOT. Pokemon let's go wasn't even that good already, seriously. It was made for pokemon go players, hadn't the same feeling for catching pokemons AT ALL ( you have to catch a lot rather than just catching your own team and that's all, and it's the same for shinies. I don't want to catch 30 vulpix ?! ) and it was more of a pokemon game to scam people who liked go. I refused that my dad bought it just because of that. Also, fuck all this gen 1 propaganda. GenOners are sometimes really annoying but Nintendo keeps encouraging them like hello ?? Other gen exists too ?? We have like a whole crowd of people waiting for a DP remake and that's the 2nd remake of this gen ! Not counting pokemon go that only featured the 1st gen when it was popular.

Pokemons from the 1st generation have a pretty easy to reproduce design and that's why they made pokemon let's go. Between Rayquaza and Mewtwo, guess who's the easiest to make ?

That's why I also HATE the idea of the galar dex. Cuz you know what ? Pokemon will be deleted. And I bet my fucking phone that there will be more gen one than any other gen because it's the favourite. And also, say goodbye to gen 5. The fandom clearly didn't like that gen and pokemons from it will suffer from the galar dex. It was great but since, you know, you couldn't use pokemons from other gens ( like in let's go btw ) people hated it and said everything from it was trash ?? Like oh no, a goofy ice cream with a funny face ! Pokemons weren't trash in my time when I had a purple jelly pokemon that evolved into a bigger purple jelly pokemon. They were creative. So yeah, some gens will suffer more than others

After that we have the lack of animations. I mean COME ON.

"Animation is hard". I make animations, mostly on 2D yes but I studied 3D models. Once you created it you can make animations pretty fast because you just have to move the body, not to redraw anything. That's why there are so many 3D models animations on YouTube made by beginners, once you mastered it you can do pretty much anything.

"It's good for strategy" Well ... Yes and No actually. I studied a bit strategy and the fact that they deleted some pokemons is a good thing for it but not for us, normal players. The fact that they removed animations from pokemon attacking is just ripping us off the battle, they had better animations in gen 4, come on. And the fact that the attacks must be fast for strategy is because official battles now last 20 minutes instead of one hour which is ... Stupid ?? They used this as an argument for a wall they created ???

"creating models is hard". Yes it is. BUT THEY'RE USING GEN 6-7 MODELS. Well, at least they had to redo them but it's just copying and pasting like wtf ??? The animations are the same. Models are just redone. It's basically like tracing someone's art. Yeah it takes time. But you still have a base, it takes a lot less time than the original one and when you're done I don't think you should show it as "extremely hard work". But you know what actually ? THEY DID OTHER MODELS FOR DYNAMAXED POKEMONS. Yes, they used that "precious time you know it's hard and blahblahblah" to have to do TWICE the exact same ponemons. I'm not talking about gigantamax huh, normal dynamax pokemon. So they're whining about the time but did everything twice. Wonderful.

"animating takes time" again you're talking to an artist and an animator. So before you try to give your "knowledge" because you read an article on BuzzFeed, go and try to do it yourself and then we can talk. I'm not saying that I know everything and that I'm a genius or anything but sometimes trying is easier to understand. Are we good ? Alright. I'm used to get hate comments all the time when I talk shit about this and most of the persons telling me wrong hadn't even tried to draw Pikachu before. Now, I just want to ask you, have you ever thought about the time needed for a pokemon game ? Yeah it takes a lot of time, about a few years. But think of it this way : we got the first trailer of the game 3-4 months ago ? Not sure anymore. But the game will be released the same year the first trailer went out and I'm pretty sure it was the same last year with Eevee and Pikachu. I'll take another exemple from the switch : Zelda botw. That game is a masterpiece. First trailer, 2011. Release date, 2017. Do you know what I mean by that ? TAKE YOUR FUCKING TIME. Stop rushing like idiots we won't die if we don't have a pokemon game per year !!

One last thing : the online subscription. You know that you pay WiFi every month ? Now you gotta pay it again for it to work. I get it, maybe people won't use it and all but COME ON. You deleted the 4th and 5th gen GTS. You deleted the dream world. And you're afraid that your online thingy will be not used enough to make money so you make us pay even more ?? Duck you.

Pokémon is the 2nd most money-making licence that ever existed. They stopped making series because they wasn't worth it in terms of money, like pokemon rangers. You're just some lazy People that wants money more and more. And I don't think I can accept that.

Trunks x Female!Reader x Android 17

So this is gonna be the first part of two request about Trunks x Female Reader x Android 17

Firstly, I need to say that I'm gonna be writing these request on our normal universe 7 timeline (Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super timelines). Obviously, this is going to be far from the current DBS plot, because Trunks must grow (and suppose that 17, being the super-android human that he is, ages slowly, so it would just be in the perfect time).

And of course, this is an AU: There is no Mai, there is no C17 wife. Fine? Fine.

Okay. For this point I must say that there are probabilities while writing Trunks, I take some traits of the Dragon Ball GT Trunks. I'm sorry if you do not like this series or that version of the character. Personally, it seems to me like a possibility that shows one Trunks that lives in a real world where there are no battles anymore. The reason, why some nuances of that version of Trunks could interfere in my writing, is mainly because it is a Trunks that I read and wrote for many years. Even if I want to get away, that's the personality that for so many years (before DBS) I conceived. So I hope it's not so bad.

Okay! And the last point to clarify is that the reader in this story will be human (you have not indicated me otherwise).

But if you want to order something else, do not hesitate to send it! And if what you wanted was this scenario to be in the mirai timeline, do not hesitate to tell me and I'll do that version (it will be quite interesting and angsty)

Trunks X Female!Reader X Android 17

PART 1

Request:

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Let’s go!

❤ You met Trunks at the Capsule Corp. You were doing an internship in your main career interest ;) and you were also very interested in ecology and all the problems that the earth was facing.

❤ So when your mainly project (relationated with your career and with your ecology passion) (to which you had dedicated your soul) resulted very successful, your reward was the opportunity (and responsibility) to present it to the Capsule Corp CEO: Trunks Brief.

❤ Was it an instant crush? Maybe, If you wanna call it like that.

❤ But the truth was that Trunks was simply amazed by your genuinity and by the passion that you show in every detail of your work. You had the spark of life! And Trunks was someone with such a vitality that was being represed by his current enviroment and by his lack of sense.

❤ Trunks not only realized that you were not like the majority of the girls who were chasing his money; He also realized that he was heartly happy when he was with you: his smile became truly bright, and the ache in his chest (sometimes caused by a blood that needed to fight, but that no longer did; and other times caused by the darkness of a future that although it no longer existed, it still weighed) diminished, being replaced by a conforting warmth.

❤ For your part, you realized that you could notice a change in Trunks. Every day that you spent together working on your project, he felt better: more alive. And that was something that you just wanted to treasure forever: the happiness of Trunks.

❤ By the time both of you realized, the feeling was already mutual: both of you were already in love. Each of you only wanted the protection and the happiness of the other.

❤ Trunks and you started a relationship. And you were more than welcome to the family of the Z warriors.

------------------------

❤ On your second year of relationship, you were working on an environment project, and searching for an adequate ecosystem. That's when Goten (of course being Trunks' girlfriend meant that you became the new female bestfriend of Goten) suggested you to work on the island that he and Trunks protected years ago.

❤ Was it the best or the worst idea ever? Probably THE BEST.

❤ Being only a scientist (one of the best, in fact, because Bulma being Bulma adopted you as her apprentice first and as her second daughter later) you unexpectedly met with the protector of the island.

❤ (An Android with unlimited energy?!?!? what the hell, Goten!?!? Can't you just remember a detail like this?!?!?)

❤ But of course said Android was not (anymore) a killer, he was just working and protecting the island! Moreover, you recognized him as Android 18's brother!

❤ He offered himself to help you with your work... that was more like a kind of silent threat: little scientist, I do not care if you come from the Capsule Corp, you will not do what you want on this island while I stay alive.

❤ Holy shit! His presence was just overwhelming. And even though you wanted to just call Trunks at that time, there was something fascinating about him that made you stay and follow his silent commands.

❤ By the end of the day, the Android had realized that you not only did not intend to harm the island or the nature, but that you were in fact a very noble human being.

❤ You spent the next weeks working on the island accompanied by 17.

❤ And he discovered two things. One: the island had twice as much life if you were in it! And two: He, who had managed to understand compassion and pain by projecting those feelings into nature and animals, could not help but feeling something similar for the first time for a human being.

❤ The android had believed in the past that humanity was something he could play with. But now, he could not help but feel that your humanity, that your kindness and that your fragility were something that should be protected. And that he would protect.

❤ On your part: You had met Trunks and you were in a relationship with him. Trunks was the man you loved. And precisely because of that, it was that you knew there was a moment in his life, when Trunks's eyes were lifeless.

If there was something that made your heart ache, it was precisely the fact that the eyes of Android 17 had much less life than those of Trunks had had in their worst moments.

❤ You knew there could be something that hurt 17. And although you did not understand why, you knew that it hurt you and that if it were for you, you would do anything to avoid that pain.

❤ It was precisely on one of those days of research on the island that Trunks went to pick you up! (Normally you spent the night together, but after work)

❤ That was the moment when both men met again.

❤ "He looks good." Trunks thought.

❤ "Is that TRUNKS?!" The Android thought.

❤ After that moment and with the constant visits of your boyfriend to your work, Android 17 (feeling a special affection for you and a nascent attraction for Trunks) could not help but know that although Trunks did not bother him precisely, he just did not want to lose the attention you gave him.

❤ And picking up that playful and rebellious personality so of him, but that sometimes he left aside by the calm that gave him the natural environment in which he worked, he began to challenge Trunks!

❤ Trunks took your eyes off for a while: he would take advantage to get close to you a little!

❤ Trunks returned his sight to you: he would take advantage to approach the double to you!

❤ Flirting and compliments? He was neither as refined Trunks nor as presumptuous as his sister, but for you (and for fucking Trunks) he could become a gentleman.

❤ Sweet nicknames related to your ecology studies: YEP (only because of you)!

Kitten, beautiful bird, little fish, baby lion, tigress.

❤ The nicknames become sweeter (or hotter) if Trunks was closer: DEFINITIVELY.

❤ But most important of all: The three of you know that there was something playful and not threatening in all that? YES!

❤ The android enjoyed teasing Trunks. (And if with that he could made you laugh, he enjoyed it twice!)

❤ On the other hand, Trunks sometimes felt a tick in the eye when that happened. But there was something so absurd in all that flirting, that he could not help but felt fun and fake a false annoyance.

❤ And you: well, you had not smiled or laughed so much in years! Both the foolish flirtation and the even more foolish fights between that pair made you feel alive.

❤ The three of you surrounded by nature; smiling and... living.

❤ The two of them knowing that they could (both for their dumb game and for real interest) fight and not have to hold back. Both were worthy rivals for each other.

❤ You almost died of a heart attack the first time you saw a fight between a saiyan and an android with unlimited energy.

But immediately you thought that it was the most fascinating thing you had ever saw. With that vision your legs failed you and you stayed reclined in the softness of the sand, with your eyes bright and your lips wet. With something intense vibrating strongly in your chest.

❤ Trunks and 17 fought with a force that had been repressed for many years. And the moment they saw you ... oh god.

You were the most dazzling beauty that both had ever seen.

And best of all: the sublime expression you had had been caused by both. Together.

❤ That night, 17 could not but think selfishly that he no longer wanted a life without the two of you.

❤ And you and Trunks, could not help but feel (for the first time in many years) incomplete.

Under the moonlight, while you and your boyfriend made love, you both understood what was missing.

❤ And although there was very little left for your investigation on the island to end, neither you nor Trunks were going to let go of the person who made both of you happy.

That person was not going to let you go either.

*To be continued*

Artist spotlight: Gab | Silhouette!

Tumblr ✿ Twitter

Header source: [X]

Introduce yourself Hi hi! I go by Silhouette on the internet but most people call me Gab! I am a highschool student from Central Europe with interest in pursuing art in the future. I am mainly into animanga, with Boku no Hero Academia and Edens Zero being my main two fandoms. Aside from that, I also keep up to date with multiple western shows! I absolutely love fantasy and sci-fi which both lead to my love of steampunk! As you can see, I also ramble a lot (sorry qwq). Nice to meet you When did you start drawing? Are you a digital or traditional artist? I used to doodle all over my notebooks in elementary school (I’m so sorry for my teachers qwq, dealing with my doodles). I started really drawing in middle school when I started playing an online game which allowed you to upload your own art and get in-game currency. That’s also the time I got into digital art, which stayed with me up now! Do you use any traditional mediums? If so, which are your favorites? I like drawing with gray pencils (mainly B3 - B6), Indian ink and my absolute favorite and the one I get to use the least, soft pastel. Fun fact: to make up for my lack of soft pastel in real life, I use soft pastel-like brushes in digital

image source: [X] Why do you prefer traditional over digital? (or viceversa) One word: CTRL/Cmd + Z. Plus you aren’t limited by medium or color What do you think is the most challenging part about being a traditional/digital artist? Learning everything about your program/relearning everything when your program comes up with a totally revamped version What inspires your pieces? I live in a big, old city, so it is usually filled with road signs, ads, run down buildings and generally gray/shades of gray so I take a lot of photos when I find a pretty (lot of greenery, pretty modern buildings or even modern residential areas, etc.) scenery around the city and I tend to flip through the photos an often it inspires me to draw something. When it turns out to be fanart, it’s usually because I interacted with the fandom recently. Then music usually shapes the details/what are the characters doing. I’ll use a wip as an example: a pretty photo of a modern residential area, my recent interaction with Edens Zero and me constantly listening to Bang Bang by Hollywood Undead turned into Rebecca from Edens Zero fighting in a dystopian -ish city (guns are her weapon of choice in the manga so that’s where she cane from)

image source: [X] Explain your "everyday" drawing process I doodle a lot before I decide what is worth continuing. You have no idea how many colored sketches I have Do you have an artist you admire (or more than one)?

I love how art by Faye (https://vvhimsi.tumblr.com/) is clean and cute and I absolutely admire how Keke (https://twitter.com/Keke_Shawn) shades Is there an artwork you are most proud of? Why? I don’t have a particular fav artwork, each has its good parts and it’s flaws

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing? I either watch a documentary show (Mayday and Second from Disaster and my current favorite) an anime (currently Parasyte), something on YouTube (Reddit stories or anything from Game Theory or Film Theory most of the time) or a play through of a game (currently Nier: Automata or anything from GT Live) or listen to songs from Spotify (right now it’s a playlist made by a friend)

image source: [X] What makes art interesting for you? It is a unique medium. You don’t have anything like tropes. You just have art. Also the stylistical differences between each artist What do you do when art block strikes? Open a new canvas, lay my head down on my desk in front of my laptop and cry. In all seriousness, I flip through Tumblr to look at pretty fanart and read fanfics or a book. When I feel like drawing again, I open my gallery or Pinterest an doodle to see if I still can’t draw or not. If yes then yay! If not then I take some more time off What’s the most valuable art advice you’ve ever received?

“Gab, your characters aren’t bobble heads.” -from a friend when she saw my art

Comic panels start: A desk with exercise books, pen and postit notes. Two phones are visible, one in a hand that has Goten’s view of the chat and the other on a book with Trunks’ view. The arm holding the phone has a black cuff. A face, smirking, amused The hand writing on a postit note. A wall covered in postit notes in two different handwriting styles containing study notes, covering physics, maths, and business. There’s some back and forth and doodles on the notes, the two writers have been going over them a lot. The same hand fixing the postit note written above on top of the notes. It says “See? Please?” Finally, we pan out and see a student room (the walls and curtains that cool magnolia shade in every student rental ever, the wheeled chair that common itchy blue fabric). We see Gotenks sitting at that desk, now returning to his task of studying the exercise books intently, the phones away from him on the corner of the desk.

Celebrating MLB Opening Day 2019 with a glance at how taxes affect America's Pastime

Hope springs eternal for MLB fans on Opening Day. I'm looking forward to this season bringing another World Series pennant to join the 2017 one in the Houston Astros' Minute Maid Park. (Photo by me, taken at the 'Stros' championship celebration with fans at their home opener on April 2, 2018)

Today is a holiday in our house. It's Opening Day for Major League Baseball.

Our formal celebration of the sport's first games of the year began when we lived in the Washington, D.C. area. In those days, there were no Nationals. The Baltimore Orioles ruled the MidAtlantic baseball world, which was fine with us since we lived in the Maryland suburbs and were Birds' partial season ticket holders.

Even better, my boss for our early years in the National Capital area was a big baseball fan himself. As such, he closed the office on MLB's Opening Day.

That meant as a group we all, even the few who weren't really fans of the game, headed up the road to Baltimore's now-gone Memorial Stadium. (Tickets were courtesy of the boss. We were on our own for concessions.)

Honoring baseball tradition: Back then, tradition held that each new MLB season began in Cincinnati.

Shortly after the toss of that baseball in the Red's National League park, the American League's first pitch was thrown out at the Orioles' game. And the hubby and I along with my boss and colleagues were there, cheering on the O's.

Even after I changed jobs, we continued to celebrate Opening Day, taking a vacation day to go to Orioles' games in person.

After our eventual move from the D.C. area, our MLB season opening tradition continued, although that now means usually watching the games on TV or listening via radio.

Expanded 2019 Opening Day: Nowadays, MLB is more egalitarian, at least with the start of this new season.

For the first time in the professional game's history, all 30 MLB teams will play on Opening Day 2019.

That means our baseball holiday festivities will officially start today, March 28, the earliest opening day ever for MLB, at noon Central Daylight Time with the Orioles in the Bronx to take on the New York Yankees in the first of ESPN's MLB Opening Day tripleheader.

At 3 p.m. CDT we'll mute the TV and turn on the radio to listen to our Houston Astros begin their quest to take back the championship in Tampa against the Rays. (Don't get me started on MLB's fan unfriendly TV blackout rules and my TV provider's lack of 'Stros' sports channel coverage.)

Then it's back to TV for the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox at the Seattle Mariners.

So as soon as this post is published, I'm done with work for the day!

Baseball and taxes: Of course, I couldn't leave the blogosphere without at least touching on baseball's connection to taxes, or vice versa.

I give you links below to earlier Don't Mess With Taxes posts on how taxes touch the America's Pastime and sports in general:

New tax law could discourage major league player trades

Tax law change could imperil sports' box seats

Writing off ballpark hot dogs, or how business meals, separate from entertainment expenses, remain deductible at 50% level

Nationals face MLB luxury tax even as playoff hopes fade

6 MLB teams must pay $74 million in total luxury taxes

America's pastimes: Baseball, ballpark proposals and taxes

Lawmaker goes to bat for Texas Rangers' ballpark tax break

Supreme Court's sports gambling ruling expected to lead to more nationwide betting and tax collection

How to report Super Bowl & all gambling wins to the IRS

Tax effects on recent MLB player moves: Also, I've got to mention the frantic last few days of Spring Training and, of course, taxes.

Late March was when teams finally locked down the games' biggest free agents — Bryce Harper (now part of the Philadelphia Phillies; sorry, Washington Nationals fans) and Manny Machado (the former Oriole now with the San Diego Padres after a brief stint last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers), as well as some of MLB's biggest stars — Mike Trout's historic contract with the Los Angeles Angels [at Anaheim] and Houston Astros' extensions for All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman and future Hall of Fame pitcher Justin Verlander.

Taxes may have been a factor in Bregman's and Verlander's deals. Sure, it's not a bad idea for those players to stick with a team that's likely to be a World Series contender for at least a few more years. Plus, all their Houston home games are in no-state-income-tax Texas.

Other players, however, do have to think about, as the following items note, income taxes on their new, high-dollar contracts.

Manny Machado to Avoid Big California Tax Hit With Creative Posturing from 12Up

No, Manny Machado Can’t Avoid Paying California Tax by Being a Florida Resident from Taxable Talk

A Quick Look at How State Income Tax Affects Huge Contracts from Cubs Insider

Bryce Harper will net $55M more than Manny Machado after taxes, agent says from YardBarker

Mike Trout's $430M contract: Comparing tax bills for California, New Jersey vs. no-income-tax states from Fox Business

Why pro athletes may lose a fortune because of the new tax law from MarketWatch

The Machado and Trout signings apparently ignored conventional tax wisdom, with both players (and their agents) deciding to make California, one of the highest income tax states, their homes.

City as well as state tax tolls: But Harper's move up I-95 to Philly also will cost him when the city taxes are counted.

Sean Packard, tax director at OFS, a financial planning firm dedicated to working with professional athletes, notes in his column for Forbes:

Pennsylvania is one of the few states that includes a true signing bonus as allocable income, meaning a portion of that income is taxable to the state. Philadelphia, which has a higher tax rate than Pennsylvania, also includes signing bonuses as allocable income.

All told, Harper will pay a 6.5267% state income tax to Pennsylvania and Philadelphia on all of his allocable wages; $603,109 of that is on his [$20 million] signing bonus.

Throughout the life of his contract, Harper will pay Pennsylvania and Philadelphia nearly $9.3 million in taxes. The Nationals — whose home base, Washington, D.C., is not allowed to tax non-residents — reportedly offered Harper 10 years and $300 million on the last day of last season. Harper and [his agent Scott] Boras turned that offer down.

Another tax expert, however, thinks that in the grand scheme of ginormous athlete deals, players (and their agents) tend to be aware of potential taxes.

"Athletes more and more are taking the state and local tax considerations into account when they're calculating and comparing different offers," tax lawyer Stephen Kidder told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

That's good advice for us all, regardless of our line of work.

Root, root, root for the home team: It's also worth noting that rooting interests could have affected Packard's and Kidder's differing takes on taxes and Harper's new deal.

Packard is a Nationals fan. I totally understand the tendency to look for a something that doesn't bode so well for a player who's jilted my favorite team.

Kidder, meanwhile, represents, the MLB Players Association, as well as Kidder represents the professional athletes' groups for the NFL, NBA, NHL, and major-league soccer. He's naturally going to lean toward supporting the moves those players make.

I need help with car insurance please!?

Ok here's the deal, im 18 yrs old and i currently financed a vehicle with the assistance of my mom. I agreed to pay for the car and most of the insurance. I financed the car with the plan of paying only general liability car insurance. After signing the car from the used car dealer, it came to my knowledge that i will have to get FULL coverage auto insurance. The reason behind this is because i need to protect the auto loan that i got to finance the vechicle. It is impossible for me to pay for full coverage of this vehicle as i called for a qoute and learned that i would have to pay an insane 300-400 a month. I dont know what to do, im going back to the dealer to explain the situation and hope he will be willing to get the car back. If the dealer wont agree to get it back, what are my options? Can i sell the car privately and pay off the loan with the money i get from selling it? My goal is to just buy a really cheap car straight up and only pay for general liability insurance. Help!""

How can I report my neighbors for not having car insurance?

How can I report my neighbors for not having car insurance? My neighbors were both laid off from their jobs about three months ago.

They are nice people and we get along great, so it pains me that I have to do this. Who can I report this to? Should I just call the police station?

Are company's allowed to bump up your no claims for you so you get cheaper insurance ?

A family member of mine bought a car last year from a dealership and bought the insurance through them for ease, they hadn't had a car for a few years and so lost there no claims bonus however it would seem that the company put that he had a 5 years no claim bonus on anyway so that he would get his insurance cheaper, is this legal ? Also a year has now passed and so they are looking to get insurance somewhere else because other places offer even cheaper prices, however the insurance company are saying if he moves to another insurer they will say he only has 1 year no claims, but if he stays with them he can keep his 5 years no claims and that seems a little bit shifty to.

Legal question about car insurance?

I bought a car off of my coworker a few months back, and everything is in my name. I had paid for insurance but I was going through a rough patch and it lapsed. My mother, whom is living with me, decided to be nice and pay for a month of insurance, through a new company. This is a new policy, as my old one had lapsed. Recently though, my mother and myself have had a falling out. She's holding my car over my head. She says since she paid for a month of insurance she has free reign over using my car. The car is in my name, and as far as I'm aware based on documents the insurance is as well. The only difference is she paid for that one month of insurance for me. And that month she paid for is still active. So like I said, she is holding the car over my head. I left my house the other night with my car key so she couldn't use it - This is after everyone I asked that I knew told me to take the keys. She is also living with me, I am renting the home. She is making threats through text messages saying that if I don't return the car key she will cancel my policy. Is that possible for her to do? She just paid for a month of insurance, and I believe I'm completely in control of my policy. I don't believe it can be cancelled through her calling. Is that possible? Anyone know? So not only do I own the car, I also rent the house. Legally I don't believe she can hold my own car over my head. Also, to add... After taking my keys, I left my home and went to a my girlfriends to get away for a while. Since I have taken my car keys, she has taken and hid my car battery to insure that I am unable to remove my car from my property. She refuses to give it back because she paid for my one month of insurance to start my policy again... So my questions... 1. Is it possible for her to cancel my insurance is the car is in my name, and if the policy, I believe, is also in my name? 2. Legally, can I call the local police department and have her surrender both my car, as well as it's car battery to me? I don't have my registration information on me, she removed that from the car as well. But a quick look up on my license, as well as my car insurance card that I have should be enough to validate it is indeed my car, correct?""

I need to get insurance today as I'm picking up my motorcycle later, it's a 1977 Honda CG125. The cheapest quote I have found is 377 TPFT, and that's with two years' NCB! Granted I'm still on a provisional licence but still ridiculous. Also, can anyone explain if there is any point at all forking out 150 more a year for Theft and Fire cover when it demands 500 excess? I'd have to pay that if it were stolen, right? Even though I paid less than that for the bike...""

What is the truth about cash value life insurance?

I have read from many different sources that term insurance is the best way to go, and just invest in mutual funds. But, I personally know a few people who own cash value policies. They have something called equity indexed life insurance (not variable life insurance) and seem to be pretty happy with it. Does anyone know anything about or have any experience with this kind of insurance? I'm considering going with something like that because I was told it's basically term insurance with a savings component where you earn interest based on the upward movement of the S&P 500, but you're not actually investing in the market so there's supposed to be no downside risk. Anyone? Thanks.""

GT #20170928-1005

here it goes again;

28/9 - girls had a great time with ka, tho the first half of the day was by themselves. one of the girls did a whole bunch of instastories. which i viewed and showed to my wife and kid too. when they were finally done, i went to pick them up, and one of the first things she said was “i can see you stalking me”, i was like not sure how to react. it didn’t seem like she was joking, but it didn’t seem like she was very serious either... if she went like “aiya, you stalk me ahhh? aiyo” or like “stalk me again ah ? heh heh”, those i could react to and kinda like have fun and play along with, but with what she said, i just wasn’t sure, so i kept quiet and didn’t respond.... really wished there weren’t such scenarios, but there seem to be so many of them...

went to walmart to pick up stuff for one of the girls, actually almost forgot about it, thank God we didn’t

got to bulldog for dinner, not too bad, besides it being a pub, the food was pretty decent. might return?

went back to SJ after it all, for a final visit and handing goodbye cards to contacts. surprisingly, we managed to meet all except er & ch. miracle !

finally finished with the farewell videos, phew !

29/9 - one of the girls had breakfast with Su. my wife and I had breakfast at Krogers, the other girl, well, as usual, stayed home and probably watch some korean show or something on youtube

debrief was ok, again my wife and myself shared a few heartfelt feelings and observations. i also affirmed again how much these girls meant to us, we both had written lengthy letters to them. as expected, they wrote a short note for each of us. sometimes it really feels like how a parent would love the child so much and the child, being a child has totally no idea or understanding of it, and only comes to realise on the deathbed of their parents, hahaha, sorry for sounding morbid and dark.

went to target and old navy after, Wi was up to his usual nonsense again... sigh....

went to barrelhouse for dinner, daughter was being her usual hyper self, so one of the girls got her to stay at another table to look at oncoming traffic for a pink car. obviously it was just to get rid of her, both my wife and i did feel she shouldn’t have done that, but knowing her, all that was in her mind was how she was doing us all a favor by distracting her, i guess after all, she isn’t really as sensitive as we’d thought... so i left the table and joined my daughter at the other table looking for a pink car, i’m not gonna just kick her to a side like that....

had deep south pops after, had some pictures taken with them... well, whatever it was, good or bad, hurt or not, we still spent a year together, and i had really really grown fond of them, tho the feelings weren’t mutual (trust me, so obvious, hahaha. sometimes i feel people should learn to read inbetween their own lines, remember the heart is deceitful above all else, many times we deceive ourselves into thinking that our actions or lack of actions mean only this while in reality, it meant so much more and alot of it really doesn’t have love as its roots)

30/9 - we all got up and loaded the car. got to the airport and had it all checked in. and i used instastory for the first time in my life ! not too bad if i can say so.

besides that, nothing much was said, eventually after a short bit, they went in earlier and we said our goodbyes. it was surreal right there, watching them walk in and waving off.. earlier in the day i had sent them by email, the link for the video, they said they had to get back to their homes in singapore to download it. no surprise there, each file was 1.2GB, tho i thought they’d try doing it at the airport wifi spots.

we left and went home to clean up the house. that was surreal as well. moving their stuffs out and moving other things in... smelling their respective rooms but not seeing them...

one of the girls kept texting each time they got from port to port, which i was very thankful for

1/10 - got up, prepped and went to have church. wasn’t able to get most of them. same old excuses here and there. but thank God for Ja and Al, and Wi for his place.

once it got to around 1130am, got a text from the girls saying they’d reached singapore. thats some relief. went to look for social feeds of their arrival and was surprised to only find some.

anyways, seem the girls still went for supper after arriving so late. again no surprise haha, bet they really missed things back home.

2/10 - first off day without the girls, again, surreal. man i miss them, maybe i should have tried alot harder to relate to them and chat with them... nah, they were already saying on a few occasions that they didn’t like talking (tho they seemed to love talking to others ??? what is this i detect ?? haha, again, its obvious) and one of them already had nothing to say to me for the last few weeks, or maybe months. this was probably what van moody’s book was talking about, the kind of relationships that weren’t going to be good for me.

had Su over for dinner, hence picture above. was good having company :)

3/10 - the chasing starts again ! but thankfully, managed to meet Ot in the evening, had an ok time catching up, set to meet again thursday night. brought Al out again to help her settle her things, made sure i used the GPS so she’d just remain quiet while i drove...

4/10 - ladies mtg cancelled last min, due to you know what... wife did bible study while i hunted guys again, unfruitfully... after that we went down to the state fair to have a short recce. pretty nice actually, expensive for the rides and food, but thats expected here in the states. prices of some of their items were even as expensive as eating at barrelhouse or bulldog...

we then came to the idea of having a staycation. so we booked a room at holiday inn express that was next to the fair, can’t wait for next weekend now... :)

5/10 - wife met Sh, i hunted for Ch but didn’t get him. then we both went over to Gr and Me. Met both of them and spoke a little to Gr. Encouraged him and tried to setup mondays at 10am for regular bible study, lets see how it goes. He had a moment, and he decided that morning, before meeting us, to once and for all get rid of the weed, smoking, alcohol and women. we are praying that he finds strength in God for that.

had my medical after, managed to get them to set me up with a dermatologist, so thats good. I want to believe for a completely restored face ! no growths or spots !

was supposed to have Ot for BS, but after getting there, something was going down, so Ot told me it had to be another day... again, oh wells....

i really miss the girls, hahaha, i wonder if they had watched the videos ? probably forgot all about them.... oh wells.... hopefully they get the photobook this sunday too

Day 2

p>I don’t know if I actually should do these. At this point I don’t think it matters. Everything’s basically been called off. No more of the not talking. And. My least favorite. Obviously. No more of us talking like us. Just. Friends now. It’s gonna be hard to accept. I wish I just stayed as cold as I was when I got to school. I wouldn’t feel a thing right now. Not in this sense at least. I wouldn’t feel like we have a chance. I wouldn’t be worried about whether we talk or not. I wouldn’t be thinking of. That one guy. I wouldn’t be like this. I’d just be upset with you still. I didn’t like you being upset though. I hated it. I still do. I don’t want you to be upset. And you lost my bracelet today. The bracelet that’s got a lot of sentimental value to it. But that’s okay. It doesn’t bother me at all really. Maybe this was its chapter with us. And now it’s starting a new one. I hope you find it Thursday. But. I really doubt you will. So it’s okay. Don’t feel bad about it. It’s just a piece of leather. I’m not upset. So please don’t be either. I gave you the pin. That’s the new bracelet. And if that disappears. I’ve got something else you can have. A different bracelet. I’ll tell you the story about that one someday. Right now I’m tired. I took my sleeping pill. I’m fading. Really fast. I’m waiting for you to call. I wanna be on the phone with you. I really do. So I’m trying to stay awake. But I don’t want to stay awake. I feel this pain in my heart right now. I did it again. I looked at who likes your tweets. All of them him. 11:11 make a wish. All of them him. I bet he’s got your notifications on. I’m trying not to feel so. What’s the right way to describe this feeling? I feel like he’s seeing his window of opportunity and slowly dropping his name into your mind. I’m being replaced. That’s the word for it. He’s trying to do that. You don’t see it. But. I wouldn’t care so much if I didn’t see it. Seen it since day one. Now that we are officially nothing. It’s just a matter of time until he starts to flirt with you. And then asks you out. Whether you’ll notice the flirting god only knows. I want to feel better about all of this because of today. But. I’ve seen how someone can enter a persons mind and replace another. Bridgette did it to me. Almost twice. I did it to Cassidy. I did it to Madison. I know how easy it is. That’s why I’m so scared. I know it’s easy. I can’t keep myself calm. Cause. Anytime you don’t reply for an hour. The little voice in the back of my head goes “she’s with him. Feel like shit now. You weren’t good enough. He’s setting up shop now. Watch. Watch her Twitter. Watch her snapchat. You’ll see. Just watch.” And. I can’t shut that voice off without shutting everything else off. And I can’t shut everything else off. That’s just a bad idea. Also. I don’t like that you read my texts and don’t respond. It’s. It honestly hurts like hell and makes me feel like I need to ignore you for a long time. But. I’m not petty like that. You read my texts and don’t respond but then you tweet and it’s like you’re stabbing me right in the chest. I’m sorry to feel that way. But. It just is how I feel. I’m trying not to feel like that. I’m trying to let you go. Not entirely obviously. But. Enough to where it doesn’t hurt anymore. But. I don’t see how I can stop loving my first TRUE love. It just. I don’t know. It’s like walking in the desert with no water and you’re slowly dying from dehydration. And you can see an oasis. But you’ll never reach it. I’ll never reach it. Unless I just cut you off. And. I don’t want to do that. I don’t want you to do that either. So please don’t. Just. Just be gentle I guess. Be gentle. I’ll get over it sometime. Maybe. I don’t really think I will. I’m hurting from last night still. But that’s normal. It takes time. Maybe I will get better with this. But. I want to give you everything. And. This. This is just. Breaking me down. I don’t know if you noticed. But one of my knuckles is black and blue. And it’s not out of anger. It’s out of sadness. I was walking downstairs. Tearing up after hanging up with you this morning. And I said enough. And I punched the cabinet. Now it’s like this. Hurts with pressure. Oh well. I haven’t hit anything else. Before that. I hurt my knuckles a few weeks ago. Once when I found out. And once when something happened. I was upset that night and Duncan said to punch something if I needed to. So I did. My ring finger knuckle still hurts from that. Now my middle finger knuckle is messed up. I’m done punching things. It’s my how I wanna take my anger out. I hold it all inside better than you might think. I deal with my anger a lot. It comes up a lot. I handle it by breathing. Taking a moment to relax and calm down. I don’t let it out in any physical way. It’s not really me. I’ve only ever punched things out of anger three times. The first time was two years ago. The last two were last month. I don’t want to let anger out that way. So I’m not gonna. So no worries there. But the rest of what I’m feeling. There’s no release for that. I have no control over it. And it kills me. That’s what cutting was. It was something I had control over. I only realized that because Amanda brought it to my attention. It was something I had control over. And now I don’t do that. Haven’t for a year and a few months. And I’m going to continue not doing it. I don’t need it. It’s in my past. My future is dealing with my problems as they arise. So these feelings. I have to deal with them as they arise. And so far. I haven’t found a way to deal with me. I can’t always be out until midnight with people. I can’t. I’ve got school. People are busy. I’m trying to find a way to handle it. It’s just hard. I’m sure you know the feeling very well too. I just hope you’ll find better friends. And this one feeling I have. The one feeling I have. Will go away. I have to hope you’ll actually make friends. But. I don’t know what you’ll actually do. I’m going to try to make some new friends. Like really really try. I hope you’ll do the same. I’m sorry I’m still so hung on this whole guy thing. It’s just. When you see someone you love around a slimey grease ball, you fear for them, but then when you see them with that slimey grease ball all the time, you start to worry, and you start to think less of yourself because you see the smiles on both of their faces, and you see the lack of a smile on your loves face when you’re with them, and then you don’t get to see your love, but grease ball gets to. It gets to you. It destroys you. I’ve never been stabbed before. But I have a feeling that this is what it’s like. I just wish it to stop. I wish you to see. Someday. Someday. Now. Time. I’ve got time. Plenty of it. But I don’t want to spend it on this. This waiting. I don’t. I wish I didn’t have to. I know I don’t. But. For love. For your love. I’ll do just about anything. Really I will. When you cross the line. I’ll let you know. But anyways. Be gentle with me. Please. My heart can’t take much more of this. I’ve been pulling it apart to try and fix yours. I’ve been pulling it apart to keep myself from going insane from all of this. All of last month and. Now this. I had you listen to that song with me today for a reason. I’m Julien baker in it. And you’re her friend drinking gasoline. Just don’t die like her friend actually does. And. I wanted you to listen to whenever I’m alone. But. I didn’t want you to cry even more. Because those lyrics. I never wanted to relate to it. But. Now I relate to every last lyric. “Say im yours, and I won’t argue with you baby. Say You don’t want me, and I won’t wish I were dead.” There’s more. But. You get the jist of it. You can tell me something. And I’ll have a reaction to it. You can say you’re done with me. And I won’t argue with you. You can say you want me. And suddenly I won’t wish I were empty inside. At this point. As Julien is. I am used to sleeping on your floor. I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to figure it out. But. I don’t know. “I don’t mind waiting around. Cause darlin who else am I waiting for.” If you just ask me to. I will. I don’t mind. Just ask me to. It’s selfish yes. But. If it’s so selfish. Maybe I want you to be selfish and ask me. So think about it. I’ll think about all this. Not like my brain gives me any other choice anyways. Like right now. We are on the phone. And I hear your phone keep vibrating. I assume it’s him. And then I’m left going “why don’t I get fast responses like that anymore?” You see? The little voice is talking to me. I hate it. I don’t know what to do about it. I don’t want to listen to it for however long until you decide that you’re ready for me. It’s only gonna get worse at this point. I love you. And that’s no mistake. But. Hurting like this. That’s a mistake. I can’t figure out how to correct it.
