Top 5 MOST useful tools for blind people just starting out
Top 5 most fave tools for the blind overall
Top 5 least useful
Top 5 fucking weirdest and/or funniest
This is a big ask and I will do my best to answer, with the caveat that I am just a single blind person with memory issues who doesn't remember everything my blind friends have told me. XD I am counting other people as tools in this list because a person with eyes sometimes is a handy tool for us. XD
Top 5 MOST useful tools for blind people just starting out 1. White cane 2. Blindness skills training through centers, government programs like Vocational Rehabilitation, Orientation & Mobility specialists, and anywhere you can find it 3. Membership with the National Talking Book Library aka NLS in your state (US); I think the UK is RNIB and Canada has one, not sure about other countries 4. Supportive family and friends and other blind people if you can find them 5. Screen reader (NVDA is free for Windows, iPhone has VoiceOver, Android uses TalkBack)
Top 5 most fave tools for the blind overall 1. White cane and/or guide dog 2. Text to speech, screen readers, audio books, audio described movies and tv 3. Accessible smart phones (often iPhone but Android is catching up) 4. Bump dots (stick-on tactile dots you put around your home) 5. Braille and refreshable braille displays/notetakers
Top 5 least useful 1. Sighted people inventing crap without talking to any blind people ("smart" canes, "smart" shoes, dangerous devices you hold in your only free hand that claim to tell you what's in front of you but actually don't, screen reader breaking "accessibility" overlays, etc...) 2. That ring which only shows one braille cell at a time (that's not how anyone reads) 3. Strangers giving/yelling vague directions ("It's right over there!", "Oh my god watch out for the stairs (that you are halfway down)!", giving directions to the guide dog who doesn't speak English or any language because they are a dog...) 4. Hot liquid measuring devices (always broken, the noise they make is so fucking loud it's caused me a lot more injury than just sticking my finger in the hot liquid, will wake up the neighbors) 5. All but one use case of AI claiming to be for the blind, at least as far as I've seen
Top 5 fucking weirdest and/or funniest 1. Ping pong balls (good for measuring hot liquids) 2. Funnels (really helpful for pouring liquids) 3. The lanyard strap that sticks to the back of your phone so you can wear it around your neck (looks silly, is incredibly useful) 4. White cane holster (yes it's a thing, I have at least three XD) 5. Things being organized Very Specifically (close your eyes and YOU try to find the remote after someone put it in a random place! XD)

HI BABRIE! HI KEN! [part 3, LH44 smau]
Lewis Hamilton x pregnant!reader [social media au]
Masterlist & Hi Barbie! Hi Ken! [part 1, LH44 smau] & Hi Barbie! Hi Ken! [part 2, LH 44 smau]
Summary: Lewis and his "real-life Barbie" girlfriend Y/N Y/L/N have a secret they keep from the fans. Though it's only matter of time before they announce the happy news... it's not like it can stay hidden forever anyways.
Warnings: Pregnancy. Slight hate and bodyshaming towards Y/N. If you're not in the right headspace, please don't read it!🫶
Author's Note: After quite some time, hello! I'm so sorry this took so long, but life has been so busy and hectic last month I simply didn't have time and energy to write this sooner. Though I'm very glad for everyone who waited for this part and I hope you'll like it. It's probably not the last one, I have few ideas for more parts. But I don't want to promise anything, we all know how long this part took XD.

user14 RIGHT?! idk why she didn't even bother showing there

user16 guys stop wtf she could be sick or smth
user14 or she's just another attention seeker... never liked her tbh

I absolutely adore your cyberpunk au! The designs are so lovely and cool and your backgrounds are just absolutely gorgeous! I just fell in love with it and love everything about it, including the world!
I was curious about some things though and hope it's alright asking a couple of questions!
1. All relating to their job here, but: Have the boys ever taken on a job that they regretted in the end? Have they ever accidentally hurt a child during their job? Have they ever been backstabbed/set-up?
2. I'm not sure if you answered this or mentioned it before but, what are the boys to each other? Friends, brothers, etc.?
3. Okay, another one sort of relating to their jobs again: Have the boys ever had their night job cross over to their day job? Like, has someone sought revenge by threatening the daycare or something along those lines? Maybe just an incident where they've dealt with some not so great adults that wandered in?
4. Okay, another job related question: Have either of the boys gotten seriously hurt on their night job before? How do they go about fixing each other up? How protective/worried are they for each other?
5. Which of the boys is more affectionate? How would they react to a surprise hug? (I figured a silly, simple question was due after all the previous serious ones XD).
Sorry for the long list of oddly specific questions, I'm just really curious, happen to be up at 1 am with questions circling in my brain, and adore this au to pieces! I hope you have a lovely day/night, and thank you for taking the time to answer this ask! Sorry again for how long it is!
Heheh like these questions, long post under the cut <33
Before the two became hit-men under a contract, they had to build their way up to that position, in their previous two forms they were backstabbed multiple times. An example would be how sometimes they would be assigned one task within an organized group, and after they did their deed, their “team mates” would try to take them out and take credit for their work.
Tumblr media
As for accidentally hurting a child in their day job, one of the kids cut their hand from getting too close to Sun’s rays. The parents really didn’t mind, but ever since, Sun has been very careful with the kids and his rays. (Funny how the rays that were meant to defend him, backfired in a way)
2. The boys have this found-family type of situation, they were born with nothing, thrown away left to rot, without knowing why they were even made. They’re all that they have when it comes to family, they see each other as brothers. Though I must say Sun is most definitely the responsible older brother who stresses over everything, and Moon is the chaotic little brother who needs to be put on a backpack leash.
Tumblr media
3. When it comes to the day and night job crossing, it never happened yet, since their night job is top secret. Also since they are ranked pretty high as hitmen at this point, they have protection when it comes to identity.
Also the jobs they take are never personal, they’re just sent by someone, so it wouldn’t really make too much sense for someone related to their deceased targets to go after em.
Tumblr media
4. Every gig they take in their night job is a life or death situation, so they are in constant danger, they have been badly damaged during their night jobs. Mostly moon because of his careless behaviour.
They try their best to not get damaged though, their contract does comes with their own robot doctor, that will patch them up, it will just cost them money, taken straight out of their paycheque. When it comes to weapon damage or replacement, they don’t have to pay nearly as much though.
Although they complain about the stupidest shit with each other, they really do care for one another, they never verbally say it upfront to one another, but their actions and constantly making sure one another is okay goes to show their affection. Also Moon’s chill nature can be very helpful when it comes to calming Sun’s panic attacks.
Tumblr media
5. I think the more affectionate one would be Sun, he understands human emotions a bit more than Moon does. He’s very caring, sometimes too caring which leads him to a spiral of overthinking. Moon on the other hand is just naturally loveable, he doesn’t need to try when it comes to charming others.
Funny little thing I’d like to add is their skill at each job, and who does what better, since there is a bit of irony there. Sun is excellent when it comes to his night job, he’s calm, calculated, and swift, perfect for clean and quick executions. Though at his day job, he finds that he can unintentionally scare the kids with him being jittery and over-enthusiastic.
Moon on the other hand, He’s very smart when it comes to countering attacks and could take mechs twice his size, but he does poorly at stealth, and lacks patience. In his day job, the kids love him, since he is super easy going and nonchalant.
Tumblr media
Sorry for the grammar mistakes im sleepy~
Ty for the cool questions!!

[Contains spoilers for Akumu no Sumu Ie]
In the manga it was just mentioned in passing that Naru and the others built a barricade of furniture in front of the full-length mirror, but in the novel they actually used the monitors from the base, too. So it got me wondering if Naru will worry about his monitors when it's time to start cleaning/packing up XD
————
"Well then," Matsuzaki-san said, "what will we do with those?" She pointed at the heap of broken monitors by the full-length mirror.
By now most of the furniture used for the barricade had been returned to their proper places, and the chaos in the Agawas' residence had begun to wind down. All that remained to be organized were SPR's equipment. Half of it stayed miraculously safe within the base, while the other half was pushed to an unobstructive corner of the corridor.
"I don't mind cleaning up, but man..." Bou-san shook his head regretfully. "It kinda hurts seeing these high-quality monitors destroyed." He turned to Noll, who was leaning by the wall and overseeing the cleanup. "Sensei, are these insured?"
Noll shrugged. "They’re not so expensive as to qualify for insurance."
Mai interjected with a sideward tilt of her head, "But didn’t we use all of our monitors? Even if one monitor isn't expensive, wouldn’t twenty actually cost a lot?"
That gave him pause. She had a point.
"And didn't we upgrade to these monitors just before you went home?" she added. "Wouldn’t you get in trouble with SPR?" He saw the first signs of worry lining her face, and he couldn’t help frowning, too.
Again, she was correct.
While Noll had been fortunate enough to be awarded a research grant by the Londenberg Foundation, his balance was unfortunately not unlimited. Asking for more money as soon as he arrived in Japan and a mere few months after being given a generous special grant didn't seem feasible.
However, a potentially fatal situation called for emergency measures. Surely he could appeal to both reason and sympathy when he begged.
Slightly relieved by his conclusion, he replied, "Don't worry about it."
"Hah. You're awfully confident, aren't you?"
"I'm the most valuable asset of SPR, after all." Rather than a reply, it was more of a reminder to himself.
His team stared at him with thunderstruck expressions. Now that they'd uncovered his identity, they were also aware of his credentials. They wouldn't be able to refute him.
He smirked, even as he scrambled for a plan to report this to SPR in a way that would generate funds instead of reprimands.
————
This was in Naru's pov, but without his reasoning behind his replies everyone would be like
Mai, devastated: 'Y-You—! You narcissist!'
Bou-san, resigned: '...It's true and he has the right to say that... I guess...'
Ayako, blasé: 'What a narcissist.'
Masako, frsutrated: 'Why do I like this guy?!'
John, troubled: 'Shibuya-san...'
Lin, already suffering because he knows he'll be handling the paperwork: '...'
Anyway, what do you think? Will Naru worry about the monitors or is he too valuable an asset to care? Lmao!

Can you do a oneshot with Mafia Levi and civilian Evelyn who is in debt with him :)
Payment|Levi and Evelyn AU
Tumblr media
(A/N: I'm honestly surprised we haven't done a mafia au yet but I'm glad this request came in. I love the idea of another power imbalance. To the other request in my inbox, you've been moved to my drafts don't worry and I'll try and get the oneshot out later tonight. (I must really like you guys to be working on my day off XD, just kidding, I love all your requests.) If someone requests a part two I probably will do it this was a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy!)
WARNINGS: implied noncon/dubcon, yandere themes/behaviours, misogyny, domestic violence, forced marriage, forced pregnancy, etc.
===============================================
What kind of a stupid fool makes a deal with a mafia boss? She could have just let her business fall flat on its face and she wouldn't be in this situation.
The deal had been that Levi Ackerman, the one man who singlehandedly ran the city from the shadows, would give her a sizable loan to save her business and keep her afloat. It was such a stupid deal to make, but Evelyn was desperate to find a way not to crawl back to her parents as a failure.
In her defense, she didn't know he was a mafia boss, just a generous investor who took pity on her and chose to help her out. So once she had made the deal only then did he reveal his true self and she realized how deep in shit she really was.
Evelyn shook her head to clear her thoughts, no need to get upset, payday was coming and her business did end up making enough to pay him back. Within the week she'd be done with him.
The thought helped her swallow the ramen noodles she'd had to eat for the last week to avoid unnecessary expenses.
================================================
Payday arrived, and with it came the man who haunted her dreams at night for what he'd do to her if she couldn't pay it back. Images of being killed and then dissected to sell her organs constantly filled her mind and made her work harder.
But that was all over today. Today she'd be free of him and hopefully never see his face again. And besides, while scary looking, he wasn't a bad guy to her at least. Even though that meant she still couldn't show fear to him.
"Mr. Ackerman, you look well." She ventures with a friendly smile.
"Levi." He spits out, seeming bored as he looks around. "So I see you made use of my money."
"Yes sir I have," Pride shone through her voice now. "I've worked and saved and scraped together all that I owe you." She slides an envelope towards him.
Without much more than a sideways glance at her Levi takes the envelope and silently counts before looking at her with annoyance.
"This isn't the full amount."
"What do you mean?" Panic rises in her. "I counted it this morning-"
"This covers the loan for the business but not your other expenses."
Evelyn's stomach dropped, looking into the faces of his smug bodyguards, clearly this wasn't the first time they witnessed their boss crushing the hope out of a person. "What expenses-?"
Levi snaps his fingers and is given what seems to be a receipt. "Business loan, paid. Interest, paid. Disposal of persons count one, unpaid. Disposal of persons count two, unpaid."
She shakes her head in disbelief. "Wait, disposal of persons?"
"You know, like a hit?"
Her mouth hangs open. "You killed someone? I didn't ask you to kill anyone."
"Of course you did, I have clear record of one of my guys overhearing you reference to two customers that you hoped they fell in a ditch and died."
Evelyn can hardly believe her ears, the two in question was an old highschool bully named Petra who used to torment her, and the other was one of her lackeys who did as she said. The event was the two had come in to harass her and her business since apparently some people don't grow up after graduating.
"It was just a figure of speech- I didn't want them dead-"
"Then you should have clarified, it's not my fault you're unable to explain yourself."
While the idea of Petra being dead didn't exactly upset Evelyn, the idea of causing it was a little unsettling. "Okay fine, how much do I owe you then."
Levi says nothing but writes out a for her to sign, the amount making her eyes widen.
"I could never pay this back-"
"Then it seems we have a problem don't we."
"Look if you just gave me more time-"
"I've given you plenty of time." He nods and before she can react a cloth is placed over her nose and mouth.
Panic sets in and she can't stop her sharp breaths, each one making black edges come into her vision as Levi's leering face fills her unconscious.
================================================
Evelyn awakes handcuffed to a bed pole in a room more luxurious than anything she's ever seen. It was clean and neat and expensive, everything there probably cost more than all her organs combined.
She tugged on the cuffs, but as expected it was useless. She was alone in that room overlooking the city from the huge window. HOw she had gotten there no one knew, and when she'd be set free was just as certain.
The door opens and in walks the man of the hour, shred of his thick wool coat from before and just in a vest and suit. In his hand was a whiskey tumblr and a cigarette laced through his fingers.
"Good morning, although it is more like good evening."
"Look, Levi, please, I'll do whatever you want to pay it off, but please just don't hurt me- I'll work until I'm a hundred years old-"
"The amount of pain you receive is entirely up to you."
"What do you mean?"
"Well." He sets down the glass and puts out the cigarette before facing her. "If you're good, and do as I say and don't act like a bitch then I guarantee you'll have a great and long life. The best money can buy." As he stalked towards her his hand reached up to loosen his tie.
"And if I don't?"
"If you don't-" He climbs on the bed over her, a sadistic and twisted look in his eye.
"I'll make you wish you were never born."

HELLO THERE
So, we’ve had a lot of discussions about this (you know mine by now skwhwwhwh) but what do you think Gehrman did pre-Byrgenwerth/hunting? His family, class status, occupation etcetera, things like that.
Alright is it TIME!!!
Thank you so much, I can finally share my « headcanons »/story about Gehrman’s backstory! Yes I have those ideas since September too…
I won’t talk about everything in details + there’s things I’m not settle with but it’s still going to be long and a bit messy sorry. It could have some dark theme too just so you know. I hope you will enjoy! Oh, and this is mostly in the interpretation of my current fic verse
His family first: 
He’s from a middle/working Class, I think. It’s not the big bourgeoisie for sure but they were not super poor either (I will talk about it just after but for going around buying books and a few fancy toys you need a bit of money XD)
His family lived at Hemwick then Yharnam. I have this idea that his family might have help Cainhurst and the nobles with their hunt parties for a while. (There’s were a lil accident here too at some point…) 
Besides that they might have worked in the fields. that's where he got his affinity with scythes !
So, there’s his father, and his little sister principally + there’s his mom and grandma who taught him to sew, cook and everything but I feel those two weren’t around for long :(
Oh, and there’s his aunt (a badass) who taught him to use weapons too and I like the idea she could be THE Evelyn you know. (but forget it)
And of course, they had some dogs while in Hemwick I think :)
I wouldn’t say he was a “weird” kid, but he was a bit different than the children his age. He didn’t pass that much with others his age either. He passed more time with people younger or older. Or generally he passed lot of times alone.
But I like the idea he could have been friend with Dores as a child. Dores who was really super weird and scared others and Gehrman just didn’t mind XD Also his family was a bit worried for a time because he thought that mercy killed a wounded bird was the best idea… well instead his family forced him to take care of the bird until he either die or get better. The bird lived and was release afterwards.
It might be linked to an another huge moment in his childhood/pre-teens : a wolf had attack cattle and possibly humans as well. Many people have been called to try to catch the beast. Gehrman tried to find it as well. Oh well he found it. It was hurt and sick and trapped in a jaw trap. He knew people were going to really make surfer the wolf who was already dying so he mercy killed it. During this adventure our lil hunter might have gone trapped too and hurt his leg as well. But nothing too serious lol (he hurt his right foot/leg way too many times when he was younger...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i made this back in September too...)
His education was not the highest thing possible either but still, he learned to read (and really like it) and wrote etc. and he loved going to expositions in Yharnam organized by Byrgenwerth. One day he even found a meteorite in a field and went to Byrgenwerth so that the scholars could explain and share to him everything they know! (yes! he made the burial blade and hunter badge years later from it!) yes a lil stone collector, like me <3 Oh and I headcanon he could play Cello (violoncelle) but I don't know where/when he learned.
He loved making toys and sew clothes too. He made a few dresses for his sister and a few little clothes for her plushies when she was younger. Of course, they had little dolls has well he and liked to make them various outfits. He also had/made a few wooden figures and some with mechanisms. I feel it would have been his dream job to make toys or even become a tailor. I headcanons he continued to make little articulated toys and sew clothes (he made his own) in addition to the weapons x)
At some points it becomes a bit complicated, I imagined when he was a teenager it was just him his sister and his dad. His father wasn’t super present and super fun it was a bit complicated (to resume)
And then the plague strike. (Yeah, I thought that having a tuberculosis epidemy 15y or smt before everyone met at Byrgenwerth and killed at least 1 member of everyone family was a good idea…I still think it is). 
His sister sadly passed away from it T_T this really hurt him intensely if not destroy him. He was quite close to her and that’s a part how he got huge issues with dealing with grief of persons really close to him.
I need a name for her eventually, but I might never cited her by name, I guess so I got times…
After that idk maybe his father died too? or later? idk
Anyway, he went to do many little jobs around Yharnam, not the best things really but well you need a shelter and to eat so he did many various things : manufacturing, butcher, gardening, constructions, take people/object from to place A to B.
That’s where he met Patches who was one of his roommates lmao. Patches probably stoles stuff to everyone. Gehrman was very clear that if he ever witnesses directly the thief, that one was really gonna have a bad time… thankfully it kinda stops XD 
By the way teen Gehrman is legit the type of person to gives weapons to people/lil kids so they can defend themselves just in case XD I’m not telling to who he gives a knife for exemple but the only thing I would say was that Cainhurst was really surprised XD
But there were something beginning to bother him. To bother him a lot. His right leg/foot really begin to hurt. To hurt really bad, he began to limp and smt even need to use a cane. At some points he couldn’t take it anymore, he went to Byrgenwerth so he could be properly healed. Well he got some really bad news… the tuberculosis from years ago have stayed dormant in his body for years and was now attacking his bones (it’s what a call tuberculosis of the bone/skeletal tuberculosis yes I’ve made quite some researches on it ). There was nothing to do so he asks them to amputee him. During his convalescence and reeducation, he spends lots of time with Dores & Liam (gatekeeper) (and also a bit with Willem + he met Laurence for the first time) who were sick too and didn’t work at Byrgenwerth yet.
After he was heal he decides to leave to work in a foreign regions/country a few years (Ahah you thought he was gonna stayed at Byrgenwerth ? Not yet!). To the places he went he did many things (mining for ex) and meet many people. I believed the first hunters /prospectors were almost all from Yharnam but the first foreigners might be people he meet there.  (it’s the case of the grandfather of my OC hunter and maybe the first hunter of hunters and well it could be fun if he meet Archibald or others don’t you think ? Oh and an idea I have is that he met someone linked with Yamamura who even worked on the Rakuyo much later ! Yeah he got some contacts XD)
So after this he returned to Yharnam and wanted to finally realized one of his dreams: takes a few class a Byrgenwerth. While he was working next to it, that wasn't easy too but with all his efforts Willem noticed him (+saw his huge potential) and after discussion proposed to him if he wanted to work at Byrgenwerth. Gehrman accepted and that’s how he become Groundskeeper. The rest is another story. One you might be familiar with 😉

i don't know your characters yet, but i want to, sooo... 9, 12, 26, 30, 35, 42, 48, 50 and 57 for both ezra and theodore! hopefully it's not too much... 😅
Awww ty so much!! No ask is too much so never worry ab it! I'll answer under the read more bc I talk alot~
Starting off with dear ol Ezra Woodburn because he's a bit more down to earth than Teddy
Tumblr media
[9] What is their love language?
His love language is physical affection, if he initiates it with you then you are sure to be his favourite person in the whole world because he despises being touched. That was how his husband discovered that "oh shit there may be something more than friendship here" when Ezra randomly cuddled next to him while watching movies on the couch.
[12] How high is their self-esteem?
Ezra's self esteem is so low it migot as well be in the center of earth XD
He was never able to accept anything about himself and always felt like a mistake that shouldn't have been born, but still, he makes it to over 50.
[26] Do they have any physical or mental ilness, how do they handle it and how open they are about it?
He has both, he has chronic joint pain and fatigue that he has been struggling with since childhood, he also suffers from terrible social anxiety, depression and autism but he never got diagnosed because he refuses to go to a psychiatrist. His family is a very conservative "pull yourself by your bootstraps" kinda family so he was raised to feel immense shame at his disabilities and so he is only open about them with his husband, but it isn't too difficult for people around him to guess given his behaviour.
[30] What are their most healthy and most unhealthy coping mechanisms?
The healthiest is definitely writing and spending quality time with his husband and cat, the unhealthy is sh and smoking :|
[35] Do they like their own appearance, and what do they do, if anything, to alter it in any way?
He really really doesn't, if he is given the chance to look like anyone else he would take it in a heartbeat. He got both top and bottom surgery to ease the dysphoria of being born in the wrong body and he has thought about going to the gym to lose some weight but his pain immediately flares up, but he is getting slightly better at accepting himself given how many kisses his husband gives the areas he considers flawed.
[42] What is their idea of a perfect friendly hangout and/or romantic date?
Going out to the library or a picnic in nature, maybe even a trip to the shelter so he can pet all the animals and coo at them and beg you for seven more cats, three birds, a turtle and a snake.
[48] Are they, or were they at some point in their life, a part of any subculture?
He experimented with the leather goth subculture in his 20s but he immediately discovered that he doesn't have the energy to melt in the summer, so for now it is only a winter and bedroom subculture XD
Tumblr media
[50] What are they really good and really bad at?
He's good at cooking, writing, organizing, cleaning and giving orders, he sucks at teamwork, asking for help, singing and knowing when to take a break (and socializing, my man has 0 friends outside of the ones his husband introduced him to)
[57] What was the most stupid or dangerous thing they have ever done?
The most stupidly dangerous thing was to let a stranger that ten years before was his bully at summer camp into his home because he (The bully) had all his money stolen and had nowhere to stay, it ended well for him tho.
The most dangerous thing is probably having 7 attempts at his own life before he turned 25. He eventually met a guy in the psych ward who was fostering a mother cat and her kittens and that is how he got his little angel cat Pumpkin (the guy at the psych ward was Theodore)
Now for Theodore Malik!
Tumblr media
[9] What is their love language?
Giving gifts and acts of survice, he will cook for you and make you the best outfits you've ever seen all for the small price of tolerating his existence and listening to him ramble about Batman for way waaaay too long. On the more extreme end he will kill for the people he cares about ♡
[12] How high is their self-esteem?
It fluctuates between I am a gift from god blessing you with my mere existence to I am the worst thing to ever happen to this planet and if i don't stop existing right now the whole world will explode.
[26] Do they have any physical or mental ilness, how do they handle it and how open they are about it?
He is immortal and has otherworldly physical strength and immunity but you will find him with very sever injuries more times than not, mentally he has a little cocktail that consists of depression, general anxiety, bipolar, ptsd and some psychotic hallucinations. He is very open about everything and you WILL know when he is upset because nothing on God's green earth will stop this man from complaining.
[30] What are their most healthy and most unhealthy coping mechanisms?
The healthy ones are cooking, embroidery and chatting with his friends, the unhealthy ones are smoking, drinking, driving off of cliffs and other destructive actions
[35] Do they like their own appearance, and what do they do, if anything, to alter it in any way?
He is obsessed with his appearance, narcissus levels of self love, all except his eyes, they are blue like his mother but he would very much prefer if he had inherited the warm brown of his father's.
[42] What is their idea of a perfect friendly hangout and/or romantic date?
Theodore's perfect date would be going to the club, getting wasted and forgetting about everything the next day, but if you're not a fan of that he would settle to going to a convention with you.
[48] Are they, or were they at some point in their life, a part of any subculture?
Punk goth, from the 60s till now, before that he just dressed in frilly dressed with floral patterns
[50] What are they really good and really bad at?
He is good at listening, taking care of people, cooking, making and fixing clothes, making friends, and making enemies, he's terrible and mainting a healthy long term relationship, taking care of himself, cleaning, and making good life decisions
[57] What was the most stupid or dangerous thing they have ever done?
Every choice he has ever done is stupid and dangerous, the honorable mentions being running away from home at 16 to go live with the man who stalked him, didn't end well at all. Attempting to kill his ex's abusive ex but he is the most powerful vampire so the only damage Theodore managed to do was burning half of that man's face (and getting himself on a hitlist) and having a thing for mafia bosses which isn't that good when you date two people from opposing sides at the same time :)

I saw a post on twitter advising "If you want a business but you're not sure where to begin, start by building an audience around your interests." and I can't even begin to tell you how much I've failed, by doing that xD. It's not a bad advice, it's just that some people can't really do that effectively.
Like, when I decided to drop video editing cause I refused to create with stock taken from where I live cause I hate the place and nth inspires me and turnt to photomanips, I tried so hard to make it work but I wasn't social enough for it. I loved to create and I enjoyed finding other artists like me, follow them, support them etc, but I didn't know what to say past "Oh that's really cool" or sth. I couldn't build anything by involving myself with this community so, not getting connected in any way with other photomanipulators or people following for what I make eventually discouraged me, to the point I am now bored to death to spend time making an image if only my 3 friends and I are going to see it.
Then as far as music fandoms are concerned, all I could do is help people find more bands. I did reach a point when bands would ask me post their stuff on fb, but it was mostly indie European or American bands who were trying to do visual kei. And it was hard when they were tooo amateur, cause I couldn't tell them excuse me but you seem like you've just started music as a whole and you need a bit more experience before being exposed to a fandom. Sometimes fans were harsh to me too, like wtf are you posting, you know? I knew most people were following me for Japanese vkei bands so if you were going to be included, you had to have some decent presence and clear sound. I was offered one good thing once though, but I wasn't able to get it so...I was invited to cover a Gazette concert in France and I didn't have the money to go so...not much of a chance, but it brought tears to my eyes cause an organizing company as known as that, considered I was doing that of a good job to be considered equal, you know.
With writing it was the same as with photomanips, only, it was easier to have conversations with people because writing involves a more extensive story and stuff like tropes, writing style etc. But it was too time consuming. At some point I noticed I was spending more time reading other people's stuff and commenting than promoting my own stuff, plus, most people (not everyone) I interacted with weren't interested back in my own story. We were just playing question and answer games and no one wanted to get tagged. The first time I did it it was more successful, I actually had readers, but after a break I took to focus on my own writing, it was just me playing games with other writers and still feeling like I wasn't getting much back, cause past the games no one wanted to be tagged.
So yeah now I no longer want a business around my interests, cause the whole procedure made me hate creating. I just want to find sth I can do, like I have a skill good enough for that job to do it right and one that isn't thaaat unbearable for me to deal with on a daily basis. I don't know what that would be. All I know is that I want to make my own money somehow and get to live alone at once.

QUINN LORE REAL REAL REAL REAL
tw death and violence
ok so quinn used to be a normal computer assistant and she just chilled.... in cyberspace (MIGHT BE THE OFFICIAL NAME, MIGHT NOT BE..... WHO KNOWS......) with the big guys. so. she was kind of rich and popular. and mostly did interviews and ads aside from helping lightners. but when spamboss took over he wanted full control over the local trends and stuff so all influencers had to do what he wanted...... and quinn didn't want to
so um. he really likes cats. he has a few tasques in his mansion. and they're. not that friendly.
he says he knows her little secret and can make her un-famous in a second and she goes oh shit you know i like women? No Quinn You're Spyware.
then he sends the tasques after her and she says "n... nice kitty 😅😅😅" in the most loser-y way possible. as it turns out she's not great with cats and gets bitten in the head
so whatever maybe she lost a few important organs in that accident but she's fine it's okay except it's not and everyone knows she's spyware now. and also gay
she has to hide in the trash dump and there she meets the addisons that were also forced to hide there and they all start planning a revolution. weeee
then with some intense snooping she finds out that spamboss is NOT hardware like he claims and that there's also a cool robot mecha in the basement. her plan is to get inside the huge body with her addison minions and overthrow spamboss and uncover his secrets. but she needs susie's help
technically she's a computer virus so she can't go through the mansion's antivirus scan even with a disguise and the addisons can't bring the body to her cause its fucking huge man. so susie has to disable it and help her get her body. the NNS QUINN fight happens in the mega metropolis they're trying to build in the basement. she fucking smashes everything
after being defeated she gives out two cool items. the KittenRibbon (just one of her ribbons, if spared) or the TatteredWings (pieces of her dress. if KILLED!!!!!!!)
and she's less scary to susie than spamton is to kris but she Proves that you can't um,,, go against your nature 😈 youre born a virus you stay a virus. she gets more and more corrupted during the fight and stops being Quinn and starts being Give Me Your Passwords. so sad i crode we both crew
the act to spare her is Sanitize and basically the gang tries to get the virus out of her body but erm.. she IS the virus
in the end she's back in her old body and the addisons come over like SHIT SHES FUCKINB DYING and she says "theres nothing we can do to stop the virus. im literally the virus lol xd" and she dies tragically in the addisons' arms. Tragedy
she knows spades king cause she went to a few talkshows with the kings and she hates him a bit. hes evol bleeeehhh
in da snowgrave route (not its name. there is no snow to grave) she just happens to have some items laying around... for no reason in particular... i mean she has to make money somehow okay
after taking over the mansion you have to fight a thousand cardboard addisons and then finally she's at the fountain trying to stop you from getting out but one the virus is getting to her and two... FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also she has meta knowledge cause of the virus that's been taking over her body and um umumumum. gaster..??????? she has a shadow crystal it was made out of thin air and she doesn't remember how she got it
and yeag 🥶 women liker

for the odd oc ask meme: 🍓, 🍰, 🎂, and/or 🍪? for aisha or whoever you most want to answer each question with ^^
Hii, how have you been?! Thank you so much for sending some asks, these always make me feel so happy. ♥
It is also nice to see my girl Aisha getting some love and I really appreciate that. ♥
"🍓: Does your OC have any particular scents they like? Or hate?"
This is an interesting quesiton that I had never thought about before, which is good for character development! For some reason I can imagine her enjoying the smell of gasoline and other similar smells, I feel like she'd be that kind of person. xD
As for hating, apart from the obvious bad smells that most people hate, I'd say she probably hates mint, not only because of how strong the smell usually is but also for how uncomfortable it makes her feel whenever she inhales it, especially during the Winter.
"🍰: What's something your OC counts as unforgivable?"
Any sort of sexual or/and domestic violence/abuse. She actually has a shelter for women who are victims of domestic violence, it became one of her life goals once she started to make her own money. She has zero tolerance for such crimes.
Since this is too obvious, I feel like I should talk about something else that she also finds unforgivable: Negligent parents.
She was sold by her own parents to an organization who used and tested on her for the first 20 years of her life, as you can imagine it is something that eventually left a huge mark on her and because of that she becomes very intolerant towards negligent parenting.
"🎂: Has your OC have any contradictory interests or traits to the first preception people have of the? How do they surprise people?"
I hope I understood this question well but I believe that her sweet, friendly and very caring nature is usually overlooked because of her appearance, as most people would assume her to be an arrogant and grumpy person but she is far from that and people are usually surprised when they realize that.
It's also funny to see how polite she can actually be on special occasions. People who interact with her on a daily basis would never guess that such a sassy, carefree and clumsy person could turn into the most polite person they have ever seen. LMAO
"🍪: What is something that's sentimental to you OC?"
The loss of a child... Unfortunately she had a miscarriage in the course of an attack from Hydra and years later watched one of her first four sons getting killed during the Endgame arc, so she has a very deep trauma that she keeps trying to overcome with the help of her therapist but it is not an easy thing to do and despite the feeling that she will have to live with ti for the rest of her life, Aisha finds her strength in her other children and found family, always trying to see the bright side.

16. How does your OC make money? Do they have a respectible profession or work a series of odd jobs? Are they a criminal? Or do they get creative in the pursuit of coin?
bonus- how do they spend their money? do they go for more expensive items, or are they penny pinchers? What are their biggest purchases they’ve made? Any foolish financial decisions like a certain man and hair ties?
For Alajka, Astrid, and Wolfe! And of course, anyone else you wish to share!
Tumblr media
Alakja's old. Very old. Old enough that unless he's meant to live exceptionally longer than most Vieras, he only has a few more years ahead of him before Death gets him. So for most of his life, he's had no need for money or any sort of currency. Living mostly alone in the Wood—save of the few social gatherings in his village—most of what he needed, he would gather and craft himself. Clothes, food, medicine...
The existence of currency was a surprise when he left the Woods to join the Imperial Army. He's still not quite entirely certain of the merit of it, and more often than not he forgets that he could get paid for the stuff he does for others now that the Empire is in shamble. He used to get paid as a lowly soldier, though. Not a lot, of course, and since he's never learned how to be financially wise, he's been scammed a few times out of his meager savings despite never buying anything fancy.
It's not that he's entirely naive though, it's just that he's a grandpa completely out of his element and Very Confused about Life Outside The Woods. But he's also not the smartest man, that's true XD
At least he's happy?
And currently missing after falling down a crevasse.
Tumblr media
Before the destruction of the Isle of Val, she had a salary. At the time she was working there on her thesis to get her Archon mark, for the Students of Baldesion. Then the island disappeared and Astrid with it, and reappeared (without Astrid) and when she, eventually, surfaced back in her turn, she had been declared dead for a few years.
She was fortunate that her parents kept faith she'd come back, because in their inability to truly grieve for their daughter, they refuse to let go of a lot of her stuff so she didn't lose everything. A lot, but not everything.
Eventually after a few months fighting the Sharlayan bureaucracy to be undeadened officially, she took a ship to Eorzea and joined Krile and the Scions in a semi official capacity while trying to figure out what to do with her second chance at life. She basically helped and ran errands, so she was paid a little something and had a room in the Rising Stones.
Until she was teleported in Doma out of the blue a few months after.
But then the group she ended up with was paying for everything so it's been a non-issue for the most part. She's coming back to Sharlayan soon though, and I imagine she'll join the Students once again and be an employee there, helping in the reconstruction of the organization.
As to how she spends what little money she has? Books, chocolate, pastries, cooking ware, sewing material, knitting stuff, etc. Lots of hobbies are stored in this historian XD
Tumblr media
I'll start with how he spends his money: on his equipment, for a start. On rent for his investigator office, although now that he's been exiled it's not a concern of his anymore, on clothes because he likes being well-dressed, on food even though he had found a way to grow vegetables in abundance despite the climate. On materials for his experimentation, whenever his best friend Edith is around and they're working on the latest dumb idea they've chosen to call a project. They are many of those, but fortunately she's not in Thanalan often xD And of course, he spoils his small menagerie: his cat, his dog and his chocobo.
Prior to being a private investigator (and earning irregular pay), he used to be in the Sultansworn. It ended badly for him, but even though it wasn't the reason why he joined, it did pay well.
Mostly these days he lives on his savings—what he's managed to bring with him—and he has yet to take odd jobs to complement it, mostly because he's on a job currently to find the damn anonymous client who gave them a case well above his pay grade (without warning, which is really what he's salty about :'D)
His relationship with money is a bit complicated, though. Despite being born and raised in Ul'dah, he's not very concerned with becoming rich. He does, however, share Zero's views (if you've met her in the story) about generosity and debts. Basically, there's no act of generosity, only debts to be repaid (with coin or with acts of service). And I suspect she'll change her mind long before he does XD
And though it hasn't been shown in game that much, I do think bargaining is a cultural aspect in Ul'dah. It's a city of merchants, after all. So he'll bargain before buying most of everything because he's convinced that—at least in Thanalan—you get scammed if you don't.
Thanks for the ask, @healersadjust!

Can we get 2 and 13 for your V? 👀
Yesssss, thank you so much for asking, nonny!! :D
Tumblr media
2. how old are they? how long have they been living on their own?
If someone were to check his resident database entry, it would state his DOB as June 10th 2049, making him 27 going on 28 in 2077. I phrase it like that, because his actual date of birth is in 2049, but later in the year. June 10th is the day after he ran away from his abusive home as a 17-year-old. With Viktor's help he aged himself up in the database to 18, to gain his full independence from his mother a little sooner than he would have otherwise, scared she might use her government connections to track him down and drag him back (she still attempted it, but it took her much longer to find him and by the time she did he was no longer scared of her).
He's been living on his own since he ran away (June 9th 2067), and it was a real shock to the system. One of the scariest but also most important things he's ever done for himself.
13. if you were to choose a class for them, what would it be?
I looked at the Cyberpunk RED classes for this, since CP2077 doesn't really have classes xD I honestly think what would fit him best out of these is Fixer. He has decent netrunning skills, but he's not too keen on deepdiving the net, knowing the risks, even more so after what happened to T-Bug. He loves tech, tech-weapons, little gadgets, cars, but it's all more a side-interest and hobby than something he'd sincerely wanna follow as a career (his first job was at a tech store actually, a little further down the road he worked at a slightly shady autorepair shop - both were okay and earned him enough money to make a living, but they weren't fulfilling in the slightest). I know in-game V is basically conceptualized as a solo merc more or less, but Vince is too squishy really to make a good solo xD He made it as far at Arasaka Counterintel because there was always a team around him to rely on, and I think as a merc, once Jackie is gone, he really doesn't like taking gigs that are physically intense and/or don't suit a stealthy/hacky approach.
Information-brokering though, planning, organizing, creating and using connections, having your hands in everything, everywhere, playing your enemies to your advantage even? That fits him super well (probably also why I'm slightly biased towards the Sun ending and loved it so much, despite all the angsty implications XD). Had his life gone down a different, less violent path, I could totally also just see him as some form of Media, an influencer or manager or something like that maybe (been thinking too much about an AU or slightly alternative ending where he ends up becoming Kerry's manager actually XD).

Festival update - Anixon is fucking shit, 0/10 not recommended. But we had fun, lemme tell you how yesterday went! 🌸🌺🌸
Anyway. Organizers know nothing about hiw to make proper cons. When we arrived we have been told something like "Ah no, you are actually allowed to go in at 9:5 not 9:00" then that time was changed to 9:30, and we went in only at 9:43 so we had so much less time to unpack.
The tables placement was HORRIBLE. They had a really narrow hall and the tables were placed along the walls with chairs in between them. I took some photos of my cosplay and table, I hope you can see this garbage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We. Had. No. Space. Behind. The. Table. AT ALL. We as sellers had to squeeze ourselves with customers and it was so inconvenient and felt so unsafe. And you know what??? They had A HUGE HALL downstairs, where was an entrance to the stage where they could've put us, and it was completely free. But no. We had to be upstairs.
Next messed up thing was everything about cosplay. They provided 3 changing rooms with mirrors and chairs all professional... But cosplayers had one room, with no mirrors, no proper place, and it wasn't even safe to leave there some stuff, because anyone could walk in and grab anything. Nobody knew when the prejudging should take place, or when, and when it finally happened there was no limit of time, people could talk for hours. Judges stood up, and came up to cosplayers to touch them, and it was absolutely horrible. Like what the hell?!??! First rule of interaction with cosplayers - no touching!??? Costume doesn't mean consent!! I'm not even talking about personal space, but some details or the cosplay are so delicate, they could break!!! Are you five years old????? And then when cosplay block finally started they messed up some characters names (In which universe Philza Minecraft is same as Foolish gamers???), messed up some people's music and dead named them. Who. Who shows people's real names on big screen before the performance. Why did you even asked for a nicknames if you don't use it????
Ah and last thing. There was no food or drinks allowed inside. Not even water. And you also could BUY there any drinks or food. For visitors that meant 6h, but for us, part of the staff in some way that meant around TEN HOURS without food and water. But we all just gave a huge fuck and ate pizza, and onigiri, and some more tasty stuff uωu.
The con was horrible, but we still had an amazing time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rey (Philza), Kaos (George) me (Mumbo Jumbo) and Oliver (Tango) had an amazing time, we got to hug eachother for hours, have fun and cut a lot of stickers XD. Huge thanks to Oliver - he didn't have to, but still helped hugely though con, and because of his help we earned back some money (I honestly almost covered my bus tickets and ticket to the con and that's bacically all money that I put into that, so I'm good)
And the last and absolutely HILARIOUS thing that happened to us yesterday is this:
After the con, we got to Mac to get some good food and eat it. I was called Mister Minecraft at the park (surprisingly me, not Rey, who made Phil cosplay) and when we are leaving, like four of us walking out of the park, a group of people stopped us. "Hi I'm a bride today, you look amazing, can we take a picture with me??"
WE ARE COSPLAYING MINECRAFT CHARACTERS. I HAVE A FUCKING BOX ON MY HEAD. We look incredibly tired. Philza has a broken wing, George is walking on hooves, Tango has a mess of a hair and golden glitter on his cheeks!! BUT WE TOOK A PHOTO WITH HER. And it was made by professional wedding photographer XD
✨HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY!!! ✨
And also the bride told us that we all look gorgeous, except of me, I'm weird but I'm her son's favorite. I laughed so hard. I want her son to see the photos OhMyGod.
So yeah, I had an incredible time with friends, 11/10 would definitely go to other country or con with them uωu

Hi!! 🌈 &🧞‍♀️if they haven't been asked already. -Seoz (this is from my main) I hope you have a great day tomorrow!
I did answer the first one but i’m not done yet XD
What i miss about being a kid.
Having people actually listen to me when they ask what i want for birthday/christmas and get me that thing, instead of now where people just seem to assum that because i’m an adult i can’t have fun interests anymore and need boring shit like kitchen appliances (ok this was my father in law but it was extra insulting because it’s my husband who cooks. I am not to be trusted in the kitchen ever)
Three wishes?
1) I wish all billionaires money was immediately transferred to organizations to help the homeless and needy
2) i wish all politicians and buisnesspeople were automaticlly inclined to up the minimum wage to 30 bucks per hour
3) i wish Kishi would make a manga based off of Kakashi’s gen (not focused on Kakashi but maybe team minato and their time together as a team, and their generations struggles in being part of a war when they’re still not even teenagers)
Thank you 💜💜💜 and hopefully tomorrow is good. I have a date night with my husband and am hopefully finishing my christmas shopping

So, because some people do wanna see the OCs I’ll give you a couple.
1. Angelica “Angie” Hogan- 26, enlisted in the marines soon after her mother passed away as she would have little choice due to losing the house from the lack of funds after her funeral. She rose in ranks to corporal before the outbreak happened. She saved the remainder of her squadron when the outbreak occurred, having to kill their commanding sergeant in the mess hall, and find her way to the barracks where three or four soldiers had somehow remained oblivious. They’re all now on the run, working together to evade the zombie masses.
2. Jack Hogan- 29, Angelica or “Angie”’s older brother, he re-enlisted shortly after finding out their mother had fallen Ill and left the country for duty. He’d been young and dumb, and instead of thinking of helping his family, as he might or might not have planned to, he enjoyed the time he spent in France, wasting his hard earned money, and only regretting it after the world ended. Now he’s desperate to know if his sister is still alive, as unlikely as it is she’d want to hear from him now.
3. Anton Vásquez- 23, was a newer member of the team when everything went down. His four brothers dying on base when the outbreak broke out in the barracks. He was with his squadron in his bunker and didn’t even realize what was going on until Angie came running in yelling at them all to run with her. He’s good as vehicle handling and demolitions.
4. Chester “Chips” Pringles- 25, Private First Class was in the same bunker with Vásquez when Angie came in and saved them as it turned out from the mayhem outside. He’s kinda quiet, but dutiful. Is the group cook and organizer of their resources. Not exactly the best in a fight or gunfight though. At least he knows how to fire his gun.
3. (Not a CoD: Zombies, but still deals in zombies) Leon S. Kennedy- You all know him from the Resident Evil Series. We all love this poor car crash dummy. I don’t really know if I’d ever play him, but while I’m actually catching up on the game series storyline, I do love how he works so hard towards what he believes is right, yet gets so screwed over so often. It’s funny xD

CONTACT YOUR GOVERNMENT AND DEMAND A CEASEFIRE FOR PALESTINE
For Eu look up:
Voices in Europe for peace
For Usa look up:
US campaign for Palestinian rights
BOYCOTT FOR PALESTINE
FOA (Friends of Al-Aqsa) have organized a boycott in support of palestine. Here are the key companies to boycott:
HP (Hewlett Packard)
Coca-Cola
Israeli produce
We will be ending our call to boycott PUMA once the contract with IFA officially dissolves in 2024. Until then, we encourage you to continue boycotting PUMA products.
(Please help to spread the word by sending this copypasta to as many blogs as you can and/or going to FOAs website where you can find posters to download and print out)
Anon, I think you're confused lmao xD
I'm literally an Israeli resident and I don't really support what you think supports Palestine
Also the boycotting? You do realize you sound like a mad homophobe on June, right?
Don't donate, don't support that
A ceasefire won't happen, Hamas literally said they won't agree to it.
Besides, half of these are just unknowingly to the donators like Hamas trying to get more money
So yeah, no
Sincerely, A proud Israeli 🇮🇱
