So I was thinking... How about Ayato!reader × fish mafia trio! Especially Azul tho. Their mole, cunning personality, and more! Also, in a hc format. A big thanks!
AAAA OMG I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME AYATO'S OFFICIAL DESIGN GOT RELEASE I WAS LIKE ??? looks familiar then i look at azul and a light bulb light up LMAOOO
octavinelle with a kamisato ayato-like gn!reader!
the young but highly accomplished head of the a known distinguished clan in their world. Cultured and polite, they are a person of many ways and means.
Tumblr media
: ̗̀➛ azul ashengrotto
i'm sure i've forgotten something... oh my? i am pretty sure this isn't the kamisato residence, can you kindly tell me where am i?"
azul's first thought is - oh my god am i looking at the mirror? is he my lost twin? he is just like me fr fr.
the octavinelle dorm leader couldn't help but to avoid you, after his senses telling him not to get tangled in your business but in the end you two become friends- close friends in fact
he just find it so amazing how you can give the sweetest and the most pleasant compliment anyone would want to hear to and also insult a person with a smiling face
at times you and the tweels would team up and pull some pranks on the octopus like taste testing some of your cookings 😨
"ne, ne azul. we got you some food~"
"oh? it is not my birthday today, but thank you very much." after taking a bite, jade came in with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"that was made by (name)-san by the way."
he banned you from entering the kitchen after that.
very interested about your nation's cuisine though, and would try to ask you specific ingredients but never lets you cook
despite your mischievous personality, azul would always count on your knowledge during the questionable and troubling times.
you are not really the type to take one side of the question immediately and sees the problem as a whole and at a third person point of view
"thank you for such a wonderful advice (name)."
"it's alright. trusting another person isn't easy, but you have placed your trust in me, and of course i will not let you down."
whenever he is having a bad day, you would never fail to cheer him up and take him out to buy boba to also refill you 'magical sleeve'
"the boba was delici- didn't you just finished drinking that?"
"huh? i have my refills in my sleeve." cue you grabbing another boba from your sleeves and handing it to azul. "here i really like this flavor."
"... did you just got that out of your sleeve?!"
azul is like the little brother you never had and you are so proud of the achievements he is making on his own and azul also feels the same - seeing you as his older sibling but please do not tease him too much 😭
Tumblr media
: ̗̀➛ jade leech
oh my? jade never met someone as matured and refined as you. and the moment he notice your striking physical similarities with azul he couldn't help but to be amused. like who wouldn't?
insane duo for real, because having you together with jade - no one can read through your smiles and expressions except for your closest friends
the vice dorm leader knows about your 'cooking' skills and once tried helping you but he regrets and learn the hard way not to let you in the kitchen
"so? how does it taste?"
"hmm... i have no words how to explain it, how about we make azul judge?"
the eel really appreciate how you often keep him in company especially talking about your family and duties as the head of a clan makes him admire you
like having such responsibility at the age where you could've have fun and make some friends at your age and yet you chose to manage your clan to protect your younger sister
"isn't it hard for you at that age?"
"it was hard, not being able to trust other people knowing that they are after my position and my family's power. but seeing my sister and close friend safe? it gave me strength and more motivation to keep going on."
jade is the type of person you will rarely caught off guard but with you grabbing stuff from your sleeves always made him lose his composure a little bit
"you know what? i wouldn't question it anymore."
why on eat do you have a milk-tea and dango in your sleeves? oh you are offering him to eat? sure why not he would like to try out your world's food of choice.
sometimes join you and floyd whenever you two decided to train, seeing your watery illusion is so fascinating to see and you swordsmanship too is also no joke.
overall jade is very glad because not only did he gain your trust but also a very wonderful friend. he will always have your back no matter what.
Tumblr media
: ̗̀➛ floyd leech
floyd really found it interesting, meeting a person very unpredictable and hard to understand that is why the eel intend to make friends with you.
whenever he is not in the mood, the eel would go look for you to ask some milk-tea and listen to your stories about a certain oni always fight
you are okay with beetle fights? fight with floyd rn! trying to follow your friend's recipe in cooking? let him help! going to prank people? gladly 😈
"burūmārin, what are you doing?"
"oh hi floyd! i was just about to nicely set ace and deuce lunch box hehe, do you want to join me?"
"hehe sure~ i have nothing to do anyway."
knowing how floyd loves to threaten people that he would squeeze them but to his shock - you always beat him in doing so!
always hugging him first whenever you two see each other + ruffling his hair making him light up like a christmas tree 🥺
sometimes you are the person he would drag whenever he would go buy new trendy shoes and you had lots of fun!
happy eel + happy prefect = enjoyable day 🥳
prefer to fight your water illusion 😡 why is the illusion just standing there looking through him huh round up!
"huh? floyd what are you doing?"
"having a staring contest with your illusion."
"..." then the illusion splash some water in his eyes before hiding behind you. "come back here you!"
despite the pranks and playful banter, the eel really looks up to you - not only for your skills but also the way you handle matters especially after knowing about your past.
and floyd really appreciates it when you would go out your way to ensure that he is feeling okay after walking out of the lounge
its feels like he gain a big brother that always dotes on him and spoil him. to return the favor, he vow to always look after you and will not hesitate to defend you from any harm.
I RECEIVE SOME OF THE REQUESTS UEUEUE ILL START DOING IT BY TOMORROW <33 and wieee i have been binge watching k drama for a while i am curious what kind of genre you guys look for when watching series 🥸 ???

Arc of A Scythe analysis, chapter 6-10
Chapter 6!
-Ooo! This is the chapter we see the new order scythes!!!
-99.9 percent on-time service…stuff like this makes me wish i was in scythe—
-I find it very funny that the middle seat is just as bad as disease and government, Neal always makes this small funny bits intentionally or not
-GODDARD ID RECOGNIZE THAT ROBE ANYWHERE
-Elegy of scythes <3
-This is fucking terrifying though, imagine you’re finally on your way home, you can’t wait to see your family, they’re all waiting for you, all you want is a nice flight home, and then it’s announced you’re gonna die. Thats fucking scary man
-This scene really shows how fucked up Goddard and is Elegy are, how cruel they can be
-Yes business man, gleaning is necessary, but not in this way, this way is just despicable
-Chomsky is too excited for this PUT THE FLAMETHROWER AWAY SIR
-Oh god Goddard is using the word Alpha, do you think he considers himself an alpha male? I do NOT wanna think about that
-“Yet even in dreams I often find myself gleaning…” god almost all scythes must be so fucking traumatized man-
-Jesus what a good chapter, a great way to start the new part!
Chapter 7!!
-Faraday is lowkey a good professor, no wonder you high school au freaks like using him for that /hj
-I for one, CAN imagine Faraday with a mace, he’d look fucking awesome
-Banned weapons are encouraged, that is SCARY!!!
-No wonder a lot of scythes (esp young ones in the new order are bloodthirsty, it’s this cycle of encouragement and being exempt from the rules of society, sure the older scythes preach about gleaning with honor but when you’re young, especially around citra and rowan’s age, you’d be hard-pressed to listen and be much more interested in the bloodsports of Goddard. That’s how he gets you!!!
-Also as someone who has started journaling my scythe journal would be UNREADABLE I have AWFUL handwriting
-Killing 5 people a week, and 260 a year is INSANE!! Again it’s no wonder a lot of scythes are so desensitized to this shit, and even revel in it, you kind of have to, just for your own sanity
-“Good scythes don’t get days off.” *COUGH COUGH* GODDARD *COUGH COUGH*
-“The idea that not all scythes were good was something neither Rowan or Citra had ever considered. It was widely accepted that scythes adhered to the highest moral and ethical standards. Even the ones who sought celebrity were seen to deserve it.” OHH YOU FUCKERS HAVE NO IDEA I LOVE WHEN I HAVE FORESIGHT THE CHARACTERS IN THEIR CURRENT PRESENT TIME DONT!!!!
-“If you do not cry yourself to sleep on a regular basis, you are not compassionate enough to be a scythe.” OUGH THAT LINEEEEE!!!!
-“She doubted rowan cried himself to sleep.” It all happens on the inside, citra!
-“I prefer to see each person I glean as an individual deserving of an end that is unique.” I love how the first book shows how compassionate and truly worthy of the title Scythe Faraday is. It’s that compassionate that makes him stay as one even after the title is gone. Because that’s what he truly is.
-“I find fire a horrific way to glean and would never use it.” ROWAN WOULD DISAGREE OHOHOHOOOOO—
-Its here where I think Rowan gets a lot of his moral code, or at least starts to think about it, to him Faraday is a model scythe, the scythe anyone should strive to be, and when he eventually sees scythes the complete opposite of him, his way of thinking as Scythe Lucifer becomes more clear.
-“I am an accomplice to the world’s oldest crime, and it will only get worse.” AAAA THAT LINE MAN
-“All they do is play games and watch cat holograms.” Oh Neal you really don’t know shit about how people actually use technology—
-I think me and Rowan would have similar handwriting (bad)
-“Rowan found it increasingly hard to parse his feelings about her.” ROWAN FELL FIRST AND HE FELL HARD MAN!!!!!!!!!
-Ben mention :(((((
-This entry of Curie’s journal really fucking hits you man!!! Especially the “I don’t know” at the end like UGH!!!!
-AMAZING CHAPTER AS ALWAYS!!! It’s really laying the groundwork for future character development!
Chapter 8!!!
-We get some foreshadowing to Citra’s gleaning method! The theater part if you can recall!
-Also the “No, I lost. Twice.” Is SO funny
-“It was the only time in all my years as a scythe that I had been thanked for what I do.” And you’ll be thanked SO much more soon Faraday!
-Them becoming more violent and thinking about gleaning is SO interesting esp since its so early, just shows how much it can affect you.
-Foreshadowing to where Rowan chooses which Scythe he chooses to glean when he becomes Scythe Lucifer
-GOD you can FEEL his guilt of having to choose between these 4 people!! How horrible and awful he feels to take their lives away as he learns more UGH
-AND he’s thinking about Bias’s unlike SOMEONE *cough cough* SCYTHE GODDARD *cough cough*
-“Does it ever get easier?” Rowan asked. “I certainly hope not,” the scythe said.
-Bradford Ziller is such a shit name lmao
-Rowan not wanting to admit he’s the one who chose him is soooo!!
-“They had bitten her. Good for them.” HAH that’s such a fun line
-Oop! There’s an error on my copy of the book! There’s a quotation mark at the end of “How was any of this fair?” When there shouldn’t be because it’s not dialogue! Interesting right?
-Even if he has a stupid name, you can really feel the terror and panic on Bradford, really good stuff
-The fact he wants to be aware and awake when he dies is sooo interesting man
-Rowan and Citra’s love is continuing to blossom!!
-“I fear for all of us if scythes begin to love what they do.” *STARES AT GODDARD*
-Amazing chapter as always!! Two more to go!!
Chapter 9!!
-Esme!! I always remember her being an underutilized character, let’s see if I was right though!
-Idk why but I hate mentions of food, esp greasy foods in books, makes me ick a lot idk I’m weird
-“Well, she could learn self-control tomorrow. Today she wanted pizza.” ICONIC LINE!! Such a mood!
-Luigi mario :)
-Elegy of scythes are back!!!
-Oh Esme there’s gonna be *so* many mass gleanings later on you have NO idea
-VOLTA
-Esme you’re life is gonna be FUCKED GIRL YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!
-A utopia where everything is perfect would be boring, most ppls lives in Scythe are boring, that’s what I think makes Scythe interesting compared to other dystopian books because its a utopia that turns into a dystopian whilst giving ideas of how that utopia itself was already a dystopia even if it wasn’t a tradition one
-Shorter chapter! Still good tho, not as interesting as others however
CHAPTER 10!!!!!
-TYGER!!
-Rowan you’re scaring people—
-Rowan’s disobedience is what makes him soooo interesting to me mam!!
-Lmao Rowan is worried about Tyger stealing Citra, already getting jealous!
-Apparently ppl ship Citra and Tyger which…I don’t see??? At all????
-We get some more Citra-Rowan interactions!! Very nice!!! Makes my Citran heart happy <3
-Emo-Nanites <3
-“We are not the same beings we once were. So then, if we are no longer human, what are we?” UGH ANOTHER GOOD LINE!!
-Another short chapter though not as short as the last one! Liked it more than the last though!
SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG, but here’s the next 5 chapters, those last two chapters didn’t have much but everything else was great as always!! Next time we’ll be doing chapters 11-15! Hope you’ll join me for it!!!

oh man i want to know them alllll tbh but how about the first 4 and the last 4?? if that's not too many lmao
aaaa thank you B! you're the best :)
from these
1. what's the fic you're most proud of?
Ooooh I wanna say the Luke vs possessed Nick guitar battle, just mistakes with different names. It took me a long time to get it written exactly how I wanted it, but I feel like I did ultimately accomplish that, and I'm really proud of both the things that I consider my standard strengths (Luke POV/Characterization, Nick, exploration of complex feelings, etc) and the parts of it that were much bigger challenges for me (Caleb's voice, getting the action and pacing right, writing more than 2k in one fic lol). Genuinely I think it's the best thing I've ever written and near-perfect by the standards I tend to apply to my work.
2. what's a fic that took you to an emotional/dark/hard place?
So the realest answer to this is something I never really published, (though I did send it to a couple of friends, and B you're welcome to DM me if you wanna read it), which is some Luke angst/juke hurtcomfort building off of "you said 'we're cuffed to the past,' you found the key."
In terms of things I've actually posted, the hardest one was the Nick & Carrie sickfic; a lot of what I was writing about their relationship hit pretty close to some feelings about an ex-friend of mine.
I was writing both of those fics at the same time, and somewhere in the middle of that decided to temporarily ban myself from writing any Luke or NIck angst, which I think was a good call but did briefly leave me going "okay . . . wtf do I do with myself then" lmao
3. what fic are you emotionally attached to?
Literally all of them, most of my writing is very solidly rooted in my own feelings and it all matters to me, but for now I'm specifically gonna say make a wish and hold it tight. It's not even 400 words lol, but that specific warm feeling of people coming home is really important to me and applying it to Willie is also important and it reminds me of the people I currently come home to and the people I'm looking forward to coming home to in the future <3
4. what fic of your own do you read for comfort?
A bunch of them honestly, but probably to find someone you're safe with (nickjulie studio studying) more than anything, because I specifically wrote that one because I'd had a terrible week and wanted a. to make something nice for myself and b. to thank Lilly for being there for me through it, and like . . . it worked! mission accomplished, I feel better <33
17. What’s the best engagement/interaction/feedback you’ve received from someone who’s read your work?
People are waaayyy too nice to me for me to be able to pick out one single thing; I hope everyone who has Ever said something nice or encouraging to me knows I absolutely took it to heart and it means the whole world to me.
But to highlight one specific thing: @ri-jane said in a comment that the guitar battle fic was a "compelling and compassionate piece and beautifully told" and I will never ever be over that because that's always the Entire goal, like what a lovely and kind and succinct way to summarize everything I'm ever trying to do, and to tell me I'm succeeding at it?? I'll cry
18. Do you only write when you’re inspired, or do you try and sit down at specific times and write no matter what?
lol I'm very solidly an "only when I feel like it" person. tons of respect to people who will write even when they don't feel it, and I absolutely see the value in that, but for me personally, writing is a thing I do for fun, and it stops being fun when I try to Make myself do it.
19. If you could write an ideal fic, what would it include?
This one's tricky and I'm not even sure this quite answers the questions asked, but my priorities, roughly in order, are that it does a good job expressing the idea/feeling I'm trying to articulate, that it's in-character, it flows well, and the language is pretty (more "high hopes tiptoes" shit, you know?). If I can hit all of those things in one fic that's amazing and ideal. I'd also love to write the girls more often, I'm not always as confident with portraying them but they are so important to me <3
20. What’s the greatest gift you’ve gotten from your writing?
oh god. I think just having something in my life that lets me feel like I'm putting something meaningful into the world is really really important to me. Not everything I write has to be life-changing or even matter very much but some of it does matter, I think, and that means a lot on a personal level--that I spend my life, like, collecting up pieces of art and poetry and stories that resonate with me and affect me and are worth carrying in my heart, and that I'm not an artist or a poet or a Serious Writer but I still get a chance to put something out there and contribute a tiny little piece to other people's heart-collages . . . it's so much.

tag yourself - types of rhymes in poems
aaaa: not needing much but depending on what they have, monotonous bit effective methods, almost as effective as a mantra, sirens sounding deep in the night, today’s the day they ban violence forever
abab: call and answer, rhymes so raw the heartbreak is showing, sometimes less is more, the devil just got some competition, not one to beg for another’s attention, hands tied to the headboard
abba: wish you were here, twisted realities shaping their crazy minds, waiting to be able to accept who they see in the mirror, desperation in persona, spiraling towards total destruction, lonely silence
ababc: rain pouring with sunshine to break through to create a rainbow together, lives for making a scene, definitely someone to be sure what to do with pure love, still waiting for the discovery of Atlantis
abcde: talking up a storm without saying much, going hard for some reason, setting the standard for getting results with little effort, free to do what they want, silly words have no influence on them

Toothbrush (Taeyong  x you)
I know it’s not Sunday yet, but you can either imagine it is a Sunday or just wait for Sunday to come and read this. But I have this in my head and I want to keep it away from my busy schedule and before I forget it, I wrote it down 
warning : suggestive?? 
Enjoy ~ 
The radio has been playing the same jam all week long. DNCE- Toothbrush. You admit you kinda like the song, but you're always laughing when you sing out the lyrics. It's Sunday and you are staying over at Taeyong's apartment. This big apartment was never occupied on weekdays. "Morning," you whisper to the man sleeping next to you. Waking up by his side has been your long awaited wish. Dating an idol is not easy. You cannot live together in week days, he needs to be with his members for easier pick up and transport, so the only days you two can meet it Saturdays and Sundays. Taeyong hides his bare chest under the thick fluffy blanket and just hums a reply. You peek to see him still closing his eyes and you keep your mouth shut so he can sleep more. You take a glance to the alarm clock beside the bed and it's already nine, a good time to wake up. You sneak out from the thick comfortable fortress and randomly pick up his tee shirt he tossed last night. Quickly you just put on the tee and one piece of pants before making your way to brush your teeth. You turn the radio on while on it and enter the restroom to clean yourself. After washing your face and brushing your teeth you notice Taeyong's reflection leaning on the door frame. "Good thing I got extra toothbrush. You don't have to rush." He shrugs his shoulder and you smile. The two of you have been wondering why the artist sang "You can leave a toothbrush at my place," well doesn't the house owner owns extra toothbrush? even free ones from the hotel? You two have been laughing at that unimportant thing, but that's what happens between you two. You gargle the blue spicy mouthwash and Taeyong stands beside you snatching his own toothbrush and after adding a good amount of toothpaste, he starts to brush his teeth lazily. You rinse your mouth and nudges Taeyong that is asleep with toothbrush in his mouth. One thing he likes to do is dozing off, but he said he only took 30 seconds power nap. "Yong-ie," you tap his bare shoulder and he jolts awake, luckily he didn't choke and continues his activity. His fluffy hair bounces again and he somehow managed to power nap again and you have to wait for him to suddenly wake up by himself. He spits the remaining paste from his mouth and start cleaning up. "Where's my clothes?" He runs his eyes over you, dressed on his big tee shirt and a pair of boxer which he fails to see because the clothes cover it. "Um take a new one." you point to the wardrobe and he smirks.
"Like my smell eh?" he tucks himself into a fresh tee and he picks up all the scattered clothes on the floor and throws them to the laundry basket. You yourself steal another sweater of his and change yourself too. "Breakfast?" he ushers you by the waist to the big pantry. You jump to sit on the high stools and leans to the counter. "Should we go out for brunch?" you suggest after seeing the empty refrigerator. Taeyong closes the refrigerator with a laugh, how come none of you remember to fill in the refrigerator, there's only water. "I think if we want anything else other than water, we need to go out." He bends and places his hands on the counter and puts his cheeks on his palms. You bop his nose, "Okay, give me a second, let me fix myself." You run your hand through the messy hair and Taeyong just nods his head. He knows even when he told you you're stunning already, he knows he cannot stop you from feeling comfortable, be it just drawing your eye brows and popping a lipbalm. He follows you like a puppy to the big dressing table he installed in the room for you. Taeyong voluntarily grabs the comb and starts brushing your hair. You're surprised, but nevertheless you let him untangle your hair. "Was I too hard last night?" he shyly asks as he sees one mark he made last night on your hind neck. You pause drawing your eye brows and shake your head, "No. It was good." He nods and continues straightening your hair. You finish putting on sun creams and after popping your cherry lip gloss, you stand up to change into a denim shorts and after spraying perfume over yourself you just have to wait Taeyong fixes his hair and picks his car keys. "Let's go" he pecks your lips and takes your hand to leave the room. His choice of brunch was nice and the place is relaxing. He took you to an open space brunch café. "I wish we can have more days like this," he reaches out to touch your hand that lays on the table. "Hm?" you don't quite understand him. "Waking up to seeing your smile, seeing you in my clothes, brushing teeth together, eating breakfast together." His eyes twinkle and you swear the lights in the room seems to look like energy saving bulbs. "Yong-ie, who puts all the stars into your eyes!" you try to make him flutter, He smirks and stares deeper into you, "Hm wasn't it you? You were the ones harnessing the stars and planting them in my eyes." he brings your knuckle up and kisses it. "My queen, who makes these stars in my eyes shine." You blush from his cheeky remarks and was saved by the waitress coming in with your orders. Quickly the two of you let go your hands and smile when the table is set. "Were you going to be okay being this touchy in public? What if the fans see?" you suddenly realize he has not been wearing his mask and he was kissing and talking sweetly to you like he was not the hottest idol right now. You panicked a bit, realizing this might be the end of your relationship. Taeyong leans in and whispers, "No worries, my dating ban is lifted already. and as long as I see, there are no saesangs or fans here." he looks around the room and true enough the people occupying this space is either old couples or just couples busy in their own world. He rubs your arm and squeezes your hand to give reassurance. You melt into his deep gaze and a smile grows on your face. "Bon appetit!" he grabs his knife and fork to dig in on his breakfast platter. You smile and after chanting the same word, the two of you dig in to the scrumptious artistry breakfast. "What if you find a ring in the middle of your plate?" he asks You quickly check your plate, afraid if you eat it by mistake. Taeyong laughs, "No. I don't put it there... yet...." You laugh too, and cover your face, embarrassed. "I promise if I propose, it will be better and more surprising!" he winks You still laugh and take a gulp of your refreshing cold juice and nod your head, "Yeah I hope it is not as cliché as that! You should do better." Taeyong grins, "Of course! I know you, you prefer me asking your hand on the bed after we had intense night rather than finding a ring in your meal." You roll your eyes, "Whatever stop teasing me!" He leans in to peck you, "Just wait okay, I will promise you a bright future and make a cute lovely small family of our own." You bite your lips, "I love you Yong," He pokes your cheek, "And I love you most. Thank you for being here with me." You shake your head, "I am the lucky one.."
 endddd
aaaa taeyong falling asleep as he brushes his teeth has been the cutest softest thing I saw this month.... watch him take power naps in middle of brushing teeth in MTOPIA

Hi there! Could I request an x reader with Stu and a nerdy girlfriend? Like, she has big, round glasses and likes to read
tee hee yes ofc this is adorbs - fyi this is just gonna be a cute little one-shot since I wasn’t sure if u wanted hc or nah. I really hope you like it aaaa I kinda went for the 10 things I hate about you trope (except stu isn’t actually all deep and whatever.... he likes being around his smart nerdy gf who reads<3 he’s a himbo who can’t read. it events out)
Warnings: None Word count: 1,437 Genre: Fluff, Oneshot
The library was your safe space during school hours. You’d be in there every moment you got for some peace and quiet. With a building full of teenagers, there were only so many silent spaces to enjoy Austen or Hawthorne. As of today, you were rereading Pride and Prejudice in your usual corner surrounded by mounds of books. But your mind kept wandering elsewhere.
“Hey, do you know where I can find a book about uh... science?” A boy said to you a little too loud. A loud shush echoed across the library from the school librarian and he flinched in response. “Geez...”
“I don’t work here, you know,” you whispered, not looking up from your book, “Just go ask a librarian.”
“Aw come on,” the boy whined, “The lady hates me and you seem to know your way around here.”
You slammed the book down on your lap and glared up at the boy, revealing it to be Stuart Macher. The goof of your grade in Woodsboro high. “Why? Because I have glasses and I don’t talk to anybody?” 
Stu looked taken aback, “Uh... because I see you in here all the time. But those are your words... not mine,” he chuckled slightly.
“Oh...” your face flushed in embarrassment, attempting to focus your eyes on the shelf of history books to your left instead of the tall blond. “What kind of science book?” You said referring to his question, to make up with the guilt you felt in your stomach. He stared at you blankly. “Biology... Anatomy... Chemistry?”
“Oh! Right!” His face lit up in realization. “Anatomy. I need to stare at a skeleton... or... something.” He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and shoved a hand in his pocket, his bracelets spinning around his wrist from the sudden movement. You noticed that his fingers fumbled with the necklace around his neck while he scratched his bare skin. 
Throwing your book on the table next to your seat, you lead Stu out of your secret hiding place and to the educational aisle of books. It was a maze to him, each book cover looking seemingly indifferent compared to the next. The tall aisles of books were no different to him. Instead, he focused on you while you adamantly searched for whatever he was looking for. Each time you slowed down in front of a section of books, you would lean your head to the right, your glasses sliding down the bridge of your nose from the awkward angle. This happened a few times and a smile tugged at his lips every time you would push the frame upwards, only to have it happen again a moment later. 
“Hello?” You waved up at Stu, who was staring off. “This what you need?” You gestured toward the large sum of anatomy textbooks. His face fell flat, annoyed that he had to actually study... not follow you around this confusing place all day. 
“Yeah,” he sighed. “Thanks, book girl.”
“That’s not my name,” you responded curtly, kicking your heel to head back to your secret hiding place. 
“Hey, babe,” a warm, and somewhat sloppy, kiss hit your cheek. “Whatcha reading?
“Shut up!” You hissed at Stu. “All the times that you’ve been here, you still haven’t learned library etiquette. I’m surprised Mrs. Worthington hasn’t banned you for life.”
Stu shrugged and plopped his large body on the carpeted ground, laying his head against your thigh. “That’s who I am baby, you couldn’t change me if you wanted.”
You bopped him on the head with the Jane Austen novel and he let out a groan. “You can learn some manners.”
“Whatcha reading? He repeated, now setting his chin on your thigh in an attempt to look at the page you were on. This gave him no clues since the writing style was something he hadn’t seen. “Fancy...”
“I’m re-reading Pride and Prejudice.”
“That love story with the mean guy?”
“He just doesn’t know how to express it,” you scowled. “But yeah. I can’t seem to focus on it.”
“Why not?”
You shrugged this time, letting the hardcover rest on the arm of the chair. You stared forward as the illusion of how you and your boyfriend met replayed a few feet ahead of you.
“I keep thinking about how we met. I feel like it kind of reflects this book,” you said and tapped a finger on the book. Stu stared up at you with wide eyes.
Those blue eyes followed you everywhere after that. You were used to keeping your nose buried deep in the pages of the next novel your entire high school career, yet those wide ocean blue eyes disrupted this cycle. It made you hyper-aware of your surroundings. Especially aware of the fact that you and he shared a class together.
It was right before the free period. The class you shared together. His unfiltered glances would always meet yours and it resulted in a confused flush of your cheeks. You just wanted to focus. You saw a lot of his confident smirks during the lecture one day and decided to scurry off to your safe space before he tried approaching you. You knew it was coming.
But he didn’t that day.
You finally thought you were at peace. 
Although, the day after that proved you otherwise. You found yourself staring down at a familiar pair of sneakers amidst flipping pages and groaned in disgust.
“Do you need anything?”
“Yeah,” Stu grinned. “Another anatomy book.”
Then he showed up the next day.
“Hey, can you-”
“Fine!” You slammed the book shut and led him to the science section.
Then the next.
“Hey, book girl can you-”
“Shouldn’t you know where the science section is now?” you snapped. 
Usually, Stu would be taken aback by such an outburst. Instead, a look of joy planted on his face as soon as the sound of Mrs. Worthington’s shush echoed through the library, obviously aimed at you. 
“I wasn’t going to ask about anatomy this time,” he said in a normal tone, stepping towards you. You felt flutters in your stomach but didn’t move an inch. “I wanted to...” Stu lifted his finger to point at the book you clenched in your hand. “See what you were reading. You’re always reading that author and. I want some recommendations.”
You stared up at the boy, absolutely dumbfounded. Never would you have thought that the class clown would want book recommendations from you. Even less over the thought that he wanted to read. You lifted the large novel to your line of sight, which was a Stephen King novel, Pet Sematary. 
“You want to read... Stephen King?” you mumbled and Stu nodded his head. His words replayed in your head. He noticed what you were reading. You knew he had been staring at you for the past week but you didn’t assume that he wanted to know your interests. How often did he pay attention to you?
You ended up taking him to the horror section, where the boy’s love of the genre became evident. Stu went on many tangents about various movies that were books beforehand. He had no idea! This passion of his was unexpected but you were more than happy to fuel it. Stu took a deep interest in Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King the most out of your horror recommendations. He was ecstatic. 
“You know,” You sighed, running your fingers through his short hair, “I didn’t think you liked books when we met.”
“I didn’t,” he admitted. “But you liked them a lot and I wanted to see what the hullabaloo was about. You never focused on anything except reading.”
“Really?” You raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah!” Stu sat up straight. “I mean, I noticed you a while ago but... didn’t know how to approach. Asking for an anatomy book for the first time seemed like the best option.”
The familiar hotness etched onto your cheeks as Stu spoke. He was so cheesy. “You always know what to say...”
“It's true though!” Stu exclaimed. “I didn’t even take anatomy!”
Your eyebrows knitted together, “Wait you didn’t even take- oomf!” You were cut off by a swift pair of lips, melting into your boyfriend instantly. 
“Shhh,” he whispered, remaining close to your face as you pulled away. “We’re in the library.”
“I can’t believe you,” you giggled, lazily placing a hand on his cheek. 
His signature grin grew wide, “Really? Cause I’d say that I nailed the slow burn trope really well. Even better than Mr. Darcy.”
“You wish,” you chuckled once more and leaned in for another kiss.

vld hcs from question on curious cat
My response to this question was too long for curious cat so I’m posting it all here :’))
Lance: so many different headcanons that i love. - that his dad died in an accident when he was young (like about 7) and he was mostly raised by his mom and his uncle, his mother's brother. - his uncle taught him how to shoot. Started off with shooting cans in their backyard with a shotgun because Lance's pre-diagnosed adhd was running wild, and he needed something to distract him so that he didn't drive his already busy mother crazy - he played soccer before the garrison and was actually pretty good at it - there is only a years difference between him and rachel - he is bisexual - he has adhd - he misinterpreted his jealousy/attraction of Keith as hatred/rivalry - Insecure about his position but gains more and more confidence through Voltron - Met Hunk at the garrison (but sometimes i also like to imagine them as childhood best friends :')) ) - had a reputation at the garrison as a flirt, but he never let that deter him really - he's a flirt sure, but he's just trying his luck with love. I don't think he doesn't care about the people he flirts with, he actually cares a lot, and i think if anyone would just give him a shot, that he would make a great boyfriend (I am not counting canon allurance here bc there's so much wrong with that and this is already so long) - His love language is words of affirmation and physical affection - he has a giant scar on his back, either from the explosion in s1 or the lighting electricity thing from s6 - he has scars on his hands as well from practice - someone said that he throws knives with perfect aim and honestly i love that so much i'm gonna steal it - he has brown eyes :')) - he has glow in the dark stars in his childhood bedroom and a guitar that his grandmother painted a wave on
OK LET'S MOVE ON
Keith: - His dad died when he was 10 and he ended up in foster care directly after that - He self sabotaged the good homes because he didn't feel worthy of their love/because he still had hope his mom was gonna come after him - he loves his dad so much, like so fucking much - he's a lowkey artist. like,,,, he doesn't talk about it or anything, sometimes he just doodles, or he thinks about painting, you know stuff like that - his love language is acts of service and quality time - He met shiro when he was 13 - he's homodemisexual (fav hc) - He's asian (either japanese or korean, but really any east asian is good by me) - He's never been kissed - He's never drunk before - He went to the garrison to stay with shiro and because he didn't really have anything else to do. I don't think he was particularly interested in space tbh, like yea his dad might have been vague about the stars once but i don't think it really became a drive until after he met shiro or shiro disappeared - He's emotionally mature, but expresses his feelings rather agressively - he's blunt - has multiple scars on his person, not sure whether i'm fond of his cheek scar because of the context - not really into music as such (listens to a song here and there maybe, mostly the radio but even that is like,,, eh)
Pidge: - NON-BINARY (most important one) - asexual - is a literal child, so this means she still has a lot of maturing to do in regards to how she handles things - she may be a genius, but intelligence does not equal emotional maturity - i don't really have many headcanons for this gal unfortunately :((
Hunk: - raised by his mom and his dad - has an aunt that his mother doesn't liek to talk about because she's in a scandalous relationship with her boss - LOVES gossip - sunshine, friends with everyone - samoan --> learned to cook from his mother and his grandmother (mostly grandmother) - has an uncle who's a single father of one son - has two aunts that are raising two children together - lets only shiro into the kitchen to help (he simply doesn't trust the others) - Met Lance at the garrison (although again, childhood best friends :')) ) - sexuality... i've seen some people headcanon him as pansexual but idk,,, i can't really see him with a guy despite my love for heith and hance so im conflicted ToT - i don't have a lot for my boy hunk here either im sorry :'(((
Shiro: - raised by grandpa - parents died in an accident - wanted to become a pilot/astronaut bc of his grandmother - doesn't know how to cook for shit - was goofy when he was younger - realized he was gay when he was 15 and had his first gay crush (adam) - fedora phase - japanese obv - free-spirited until he eventeually began to settle down - suffers from ptsd - that's all i have so far aaaa
Allura: - was SUPER into philosophy back on altea - bisexual - super STRONGE - organized - night owl - badass in combat training - meant to pilot the black lion after shiro u CAN'T change my mind - best friends with Shiro - is shiro's age (sorry but i don't buy the teenager bullshit, it literally doesn't make sense, i don't care what they said in canon) - LIKES SPARKLY THINGS - has trouble sometimes leaving her father's shadow
Coran: - secret love affair with Alfor or some shit idk there's a weird tension there that convinces me they were together somehow - loves Allura SO MUCH - loves dressing fancy just for kicks - knows so many unnecessary facts - SUPER funny - doesn't know how to cook either lol - banned from the kitchen by Hunk because he lowkey sabotages his food out of spite lmao - likes to think of himself as young even tho,,, he isn't,,, really,,,, - that's it i think
AAA THIS WAS SO LONG BUT IF YOU'VE READ IT ALL UMM OMG U DESERVE A MEDAL OR SOMETHING ANYWAY BYE LOL

For the WIP game: laugh, blink, worry and smile I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY
WIP Game
ADSJHFHG IM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT AAAA 💖💖💖 
Laugh
…Talk.
“Y-yes.”
Are you fucking with me, boy?
“A-am I—?” His voice squeaks. Despite everything, he almost laughs. Somehow, he never imagined an immortal goddess knowing modern cuss words. 
Blink
“Cass!” She barrels into Cassandra for a hug, squeezing her tight. Cassandra hugs her back almost on automatic, and when Rapunzel pulls away Cassandra still looks stunned, blinking fast. “Oh, it’s so good to see you! I haven’t talked to you since—” Last week, she means to say, but then she remembers Elias at her back and the fact her father has banned her from seeing Cassandra at all, and blanches. “—sssssssince I came back! To Corona! Haha!”
Worry
No hits for this one, sorry!!
Smile
Varian sits back down in the cart and wipes the tears from his cheeks. His smile wavers bright and thin on his face. For the first time in over a year, in a long, long time… Varian finally feels complete.

1, 3, 15, and 17 for Alaritheis, Luaineach, and Saesol?
1. Love
Tumblr media
✴Alaritheis feels very intensely. They can be quite suspicious of people, but they really are deeply in love with life and the cosmos in general. It oozes out when they’re just taking a walk, feeling the sun, seeing a bird, saving a bug. They’re all smiles then, no matter how dark everything is otherwise. This is what makes Al themselves, keeps them going, makes them protect any living thing that needs protection: love, and believing in others’ ability to feel it too.
✴Luaineach isn’t too interested in romance. Not that he’s rejecting the possibility, but love isn’t really one of the things he identifies with - or showing emotion in general. He’s not incapable of feeling it, but very unlikely to show it, at least for as long as he believes in intellect and rationality over feelings. To Luaineach, vulnerability is shameful, and love makes you even more vulnerable than any other emotion.
✴Saesol has heard the word “love” over and over so many times from Raelric lamenting his forsaken affairs that it’s starting to feel like a hollow concept to her from time to time - romantic love, at least. That disillusion is usually mended by just seeing Laranthir, whom she has a huge crush on - and she admires how much he believes in love, and all those four letters stand for.
3. Hopes
Tumblr media
✴Saesol in her private life outside of being a tactician is great at getting her hopes up, too great, perhaps. Whether she’s crushing on someone, playing dice or just thinking about whether the sun will shine tomorrow, she tends to secretly assume the best has to happen. It doesn’t couple well with her pessimism and anxiety and produces unrealistic expectations for herself and others that often result in disappointment and feelings of being betrayed by the world.
✴Alaritheis and hope have had a rough past in the anet-canon timeline. They once had Sae’s romantic worldview, but it died with Trahearne. Still, they keep getting up every morning to risk their life in order to save whatever there is left to save at this point, even when they’re miserable and tired of existence. Whether to keep this last, tiny but enormously important shred of hope is not a choice for them, it never has been.
✴Luaineach believes that hope is the best way to get yourself killed. Rather than hoping for this or that, analyse a situation and figure out your odds. If they are very clearly stacked in your favor, continue, if not, move on, figuratively or literally. But who knows - there may yet be hope for him.
15. Hands
Tumblr media
✴Luaineach spends a fair amount of time with his hands somewhere in his field of view, and although he usually wears gloves, he keeps them clean and groomed at all times (i magine sylvari have bark instead of fingernails). He doesn’t actually like touching things with his bare hands at all, and when he really, really has to, he will spend his last water ration on washing them immediately afterwards.
✴Saesol’s hands are the first thing to overheat when an emotion becomes overwhelming, which has been the end of more than one book. Since she’s a warmaster-rank tactician, though, the Vigil library can’t exactly just ban her. In any case, she’s accidently burnt other people’s hands as well, which makes her very ashamed. She tried wearing gloves, but they just melted and became what they are now - at least, with their oozing lava, they’re good for punching, and when push literally comes to shove, Sae is not above that.
✴Alaritheis finds hands to be both beautiful and informative. How people hold them, what movements they display can help tremendously in reading others, a skill that’s become vital to Al as the Commander. While she dislikes being touched herself (unles she views you as family) to the point of experiencing physical pain from so much as something grazing her shoulder, she likes using this sensitivity to explore, with her hands, and the same respect for boundaries she would like others to have with her. Dragging her fingertips over the page of a book, examining a cool rock or piece of wood, petting a cat or cradling a butterfly that got lost indoors - touch helps Al connect to the world around her on a personal level. (Needless to say, she’s always loved to play with Trahearne’s hands or just run hers through his hair, or his cheek.)
17. Scars
✴Luaineach’s scars are mostly on his hands and knees. The knee ones he owes to the sniper position he spends so much time in even kneepads can’t entirely protect him from the occasional wound when he dodges in this stance. The hand and lower arm ones, well. He won’t tell you that. (It’s petting stray cats and not knowing how to pet them without violating their privacy.) And then there’s the one time an old stone floor gave in under his weight during a Priory mission and broke his right leg so badly the bone went through his skin - that left a mark, too.
✴Saesol’s limbs are largely covered in bark, having burnt and then scarred when she fell into lava as a sapling, during a dare. She only survived that accident by courtesy of her elementalist magic. Most of the skin on her torso, ears and neck as well as her upper thighs has healed to the point of being more or less normally sensitive, but anywhere else, including her face, she can barely feel anything. It sucks, of course, and doesn’t help her confidence, but she takes a little pride in being quite pain resistant around the barky areas. You could stab her wrist and she’d burn your face without beating an eye.
✴Alaritheis has a few significant scars at this point, and a bunch of insignificant ones she doesn’t even keep track of anymore. The most prominent ones are the very large cleft that runs diagonally across her torso with burnt skin all around it, left by the lethal wound that Balthazar’s sword tore. She also has two patches of burnt skin above and below her left knee, as well as two craters in her calf of the same leg. Both sets of wounds are courtesy of Balthazar’s hounds. Ever since those, Al has become even more of a cat person (though she still likes dogs.)Actually, I’ve been working on a piece that features some of Al’s scars, so stay tuned for that!
Oh god I wrote a whole damn lot, didn’t I?,, Thank you so much for letting me rant, aaaa

wow, I was Very Accomplished today
phone calls are really hard but I called the FDA Commissioner about banning electroshock devices used by the Judge Rotenberg Center and all three of my representatives about my disappointment with SESTA-FOSTA having become a law
I couldn’t find a good script about SESTA-FOSTA so I said something weird and inept like
“Hi I am [name] and I am one of your constituents and I live at [address including zip code] in [city, state] and I’m calling to express my extreme disappointment of the passage of SESTA-FOSTA, the bill against sex trafficking, into law. While it claims to help stop sex trafficking, instead it makes it more difficult for sex workers to safely connect with clients and does so in a way that limits the free speech of others on the Internet. Now that it has been made into a law, I would very much like it if you could work towards repealing it in any way possible. Also I am disappointed that you voted for the bill in the first place. Thank you very much.”
(All three of my reps, including the dems, voted in favor >:(. I am So Angry about this.)
I feel like I came off really fucking weirdly? Maybe I should word things differently? Aaaa?
in conclusion calling about stuff is Super Hard but I think it’s worthwhile I hope???

okay im gonna just try and write down all my damn pokemon i can remember from every generation fuck fuck i know i could never get ALL OF THEM cos it was at least 100 each gen but i can hopefully remember my main teams??
~ Sun and Moon Team ~
Pulcinella the male Primarina (Egotistical smarmy jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold celebrity boy) Herald the female Mimikyu (nice grandma + amateur newspaper reporter, sends them back to the other ghosts at the thrifty megamart) Charlene the female Golisopod (never really thought of a personality for her? I didnt originally intend to use her but then she was really good and i love golisopod’s design?? so i just named her randomly after charon cos wimpod is kinda shaped like his hair, lol) (i think maybe one of those cowardly characters who’s brave when she needs to protect her friends? like eduardo from foster’s home for imaginary friends) Suspenders the female Lurantis (stoic samurai type, but also very sweet, naive and a little ditsy. easily gullible to pulcinella’s pranks cos she just takes everything seriously with samurai honor.) Ampere the female alolan Raichu (sweet mom friend of the group, makes everyone pancakes and mitigates all the conflicts. you’d think herald would outrank her in mumsiness but she’s more like the eccentric grandma who encourages her kids to misbehave, lol) Sherbet the male Muk (super chipper cuddly little toddler type fella who luv and support he friends) (OH GOD i caught a shiny muk in bw2 and i was gonna say they were cousins and i was so excited to have them finally meet.. aaaa... T_T) (THE COUSIN IS NAMED NOUGAT AND HE IS ALSO A SUPER CHIPPER CUDDLY BABY AND NOW HIS WHOLE FAMILY IS FUCKIN DEAD) (god that gives him a plotline to differentiate him from his alolan version but GEEZ i didnt want it to happen like that...)
and honorary member Neopolitan the Kadabra who was on the team early on but got replaced with Charlene cos when SuMo first came out there was a dumb glitch that prevented kadabra from learning one move in its learnset and it was just STUCK WITH NO ATTACKING MOVES FOR 20 LEVELS GEEZ but neopolitan was still a supportive friend yes possibly personality like that monk robot guy from overwhetch?
also honorary member: that leavanny that my friend Beezah traded me and i spent ages training it up to level 80 to rematch her and i NEVER GOT TO DO IT I think his name might have been cedric?? or some other c name??
~ X and Y Team ~
Didnt really think of personalities for these ones or have any big attatchment to them, except that the game came out on my birthday by some strange coincidence. funny how we’ve gone from that to losing games on my birthday! the xy birthday was like the only time my birthday hasnt been GIANT MISFORTUNE in the last seven years, and the only time i managed to meet up with any irl friends and have some sort of a party. so i guess i’ll remember that fondly about XY even though the story was possibly my least favourite in the series.
Namaqua the male Greninja Jayus the male Aromatisse (named for an OC of mine at the time, who’s also my steam handle!) Dwedd the female Gourgeist (who was actually my most powerful pokemon in sun and moon competitive?? god im gonna miss her now)
and I’m seriously struggling to remember if there were any others :P
~ ORAS Team ~
I played both versions of this so my team was kinda huger? Still not super memorable as a generation, tho. one of the ones im least depressed about but more depressed than xy. but still depressed about all of them. AAAAA
York the female Blaziken Roquefort the female Swampert (a duo! i played with both of them as my starters cos i only played a little bit of alpha sapph before switching to omega rube for the main playthru. i just love tabitha!) (oh and they were named for some of my ocs at the time.) Wesley the male Charizard (actually got him in XY but never used him there) Seraphim the female Salamence (REALLY sad about this one cos she was a gift from my friend Zoe whom i’ve now lost contact with, same one who gave me the birthday party when xy came out, same one who traded me like EIGHTY OTHER POKEMON ACROSS ALL MY GAMES and LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE ONCE and WAS AN AMAZING PERSON) Nick the female Gyarados (also traded from zoe. it was named after her fish who died :< I LET HER DOWNNNNNNNN) Tanka the female Gardevoir (just a shoutout to the one i had back when i first played the original rse as a kid, but lost along the way. it was also my username and the name of like forty different ocs for every fandom i had as a kid? i just thought it was a cool word. its the name of a type of poem i heard in class once) Pascal the female Ludicolo (Only one who i gave any sort of personality to. I kinda liked her so much she was more like my starter? i felt like she was a super chill badass. repurpose all those old chuck norris memes for pascal!) Lockjaw the female Banette and Hex the male Mismagius (actually pokemon i made as ocs for a team galactic fanfic i never wrote. usually i make pokemon ocs based on mons i caught, but these ones i went out and caught them to match the story. spent so long chaining mons to find a story-fitting nature for lockjaw that i stumbled onto a shiny shuppet along the way?? i was like “fuck but that isnt what i asked for, but i’ll take it anyway” XD) (oh and i named the shiny shuppet Chuckie) (oh and lockhjaw and hex were meant to be the rest of charon’s pokemon team to give him enough for a decent boss battle)
~ BW Team ~
Anotehr generation i didnt really enjoy? honestly there was a large gap between sinnoh and sun and moon where none of the main plots grabbed me. i still enjoyed the gameplay and the increased graphics for all the cool areas and stuff, tho! im just a plot lover so SuMo bumped the series back up from “just consistantly good” to “the best game ever” But strangely enough I did get really attatched to these guys, even if i didnt really think up personalities and backstories for all of them
Shogunkora the male Samurott (Back when i was in highschool i drank so much caffeine it was like a running joke i was ‘that cola kid’ so i just named my starter after a dumb attempt at ‘cola in a japanese accent’. Ugh, past-me!) (But Shogunkora was actually a casuality long before this! I lost him during the time i was transferring pokemon using a friend’s BW cartridge. I actually had to sell my BW game cos i was preparing to run away from my abusive parents and live in a homeless shelter. Thankfully i did indeed survive that! i had to pick on only one game to keep and of course it was sinnoh. But then i ended up losing the cartridge when i moved house and then finding it earlier this year and then causing me to buy bw2 and put the sun cartridge down and.. well, you know the rest.) Boku the female Leavanny (named as an in-joke cos my roselia was Ore in sinnoh. also a casualty who got lost in that hectic transfer.. alas...) Alviss the male Roggenrola (I was very fond of that pun. He managed to survive, and i even got to pet him in sun and moon! I miss him... gahh.. he survived so much and it was all for nothing...) Flint the male Lampent (i only just finally was able to evolve him in sun and moon, thanks to beezah’s help! i miss him tooooo... fuckkkk...)
~ DPPT Team ~
THE GOLDEN ONES god that was back when i was so extra into pokemon, aaa it legit helped me survive thru abusive dad times i got so atattched to sinnoh and all of these lil guys... fuckkkk...
Ore the male Roserade (Personality was like a cheerful and goofily oblivious typical shonen action hero, but like.. eight. He had a sad backstory where he was befriended by a kind old blind human back when he was a wild pokemon, and then some sort of tragedy burned down the forest and killed both that human and all of his family. And also burned off his hands. I mean, he’s a plant so he can grow those flowers back, but it was still super traumatic. So he took up his trainer’s sword in his burnt off hand stumps and promised to avenge him, and thus gained a magical girl style transformation into a human, somehow...??) (the theme for this party was ‘gijinkas’ and i thought it would be cool if there was a different reason behind it for everyone. he was the more magical type.) (oh and he really liked sandwiches) (oh and he was comic relief a lot cos he was a pokemon who turned into a human instead of vice versa. like ariel in the little mermaid where she combs her hair with the fork. HOW DOES HUMAN WORK) Mangos the female shiny Luxray (traded to me by another best friend that i lost touch with long ago, Clash. I miss her too, it sucks that now all i have is one well-protected drawing of an oc she gave me in high school to remember her by..) (anyway, Mangos fit into this random plotline by being the opposite to Ore. she was a human who got turned into a half-pokemon through an evil genetic experiment. And she balanced him out by being an ultra stern and serious mom figure. She was actually a policeman as a human, so she kicked a lot of ass!) (I know that this whole serious personality doesnt really fit with a name like mangos but shiny luxray looks like mangos) Zene the male Infernape (another shonen hero type comic relief guy?? but he was a teenager and comparatively buff, i guess? i didnt realize these two were so samey despite being opposite elements lol. i guess just the difference is that zene did more comic relief and ore did more cuteness factor) (he was also the least developed one in terms of backstory for being in this half-pokemon heroes team. I just knew that he was some sort of martial artist trainee who wanted to be the best, and that was still his goal after he got superpowers, rather than actually saving the world and all. he’d always recklessly get into fights and have no sense of danger, just HEY THAT THING LOOKS DEADLY LEMME PROVE IM DEADLIER) (oh but i did think way too much about how the law would work in this situation?? like, he was depressed and ended up joining this travelling group cos he got banned from the martial arts tournement he was in. having pokemon superpowers would put him at an unfair advantage.) (oh, i think actually his powers were just genetic or something? like it was a mystical power his whole family line had, but he was an orphan so he didnt know until he hit puberty and started breathing fire. but comedically he thought it was because he ate a magical riceball instead. “it was supernaturally yummy!”) Gaspar the male Haunter (Actually came from that one memorable trollish trade in sinnoh where that lady offers you a haunter and it doesnt evolve into gengar, DAMN YOU. i was determined to love him forever to spite her!) (oh and he eventually did evolve into gengar in xy due to a friend trade and me forgetting to tell her not to evolve him. i’d gotten really attatched to him as a haunter so i was sad for a while before realizing it was dumb and that i might have made my friend think i was mad at her?? thankfully we worked it all out!) (Gaspar’s gijinkaness was literally just... i Died.) (He was a human from the 1920s or something who died horribly and came back as a ghost to avenge his own death. but then after he avenged it he continued to exist, and he floated around aimlessly for a long time before learning to appreciate his second chance and form a new life and a new family. He was like the goofy sitcom dad of the team!) (oh, and he liked candy. i still maintain the headcanon that all ghost pokemon like sweet things!)
~ RSE Team ~
These guys actually were also part of my sinnoh team, but they originated from RSE. I didnt really get attatched to my pokemon in rse or gsc cos i was still salty over having my yellow cartirdge stolen and losing my starter raichu that i loved. TOOK THIS LONG FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN, EH? *cries forever*
Reaper the male Sneasel (My honorary starter and oldest pokefriend. I miss him the most.. fuck..) (He was like.. kinda sirius black from harry potter? but teenage? and like.. trying to be serious? like, a total goober prankster loveable uncle figure but he wants everyone to think he’s a brooding dark antihero, and gets flustered whenever his true cuteness slips through. He looked like squall from ff8 except with dark skin and sunglasses??) (He was also someone who was a pokemon with human powers, instead of a human with pokemon powers. But he adapted a lot better to human society, he was just like.. pride at being wild? He hated the idea of being captured by a trainer, or now the idea of losing his true self and becoming like those humans he hated. So all his moments of failing to pass as human were more cos he refused to lower himself and do [insert normal thing here], rather than cos he was oblivious like Ore. But he actually did end up getting a soft spot for his trainer and becoming like a dad figure to her, like how mangos was a mom to ore and zene, and gaspar was the grandpa/dad to everyone in general. I had quite a complex set of relationships worked out for everyone!) (oh, and yeah, they had a trainer! cos i mean i was playing the game, of course they did. but it was more like the one token powerless human on a team of magical girls and boys. she just pretended to be their trainer so they could travel around pretending to be normal pokemon when necessary. and they were all bffs and protected her cos she didnt have parents. she was kind of a self insert..) (oh, and reaper’s backstory was that he was one of the shadow pokemon captured by team cipher, and then when he got rescued and purified it somehow gave him superpowers too or something. he was blessed by celebi and was like the chosen hero of that legendary. But he didnt wanna, he just wanted to use his new human feet to go buy booze and stuff XD) (i actually did get him in collosseum and he was my fave and best and i kept him forever and now he’s fucking gone) (fuck) Nether the male Sableye (Basically my oc Malachi?? its been all these years and i just suddenly recently revived his plot concept as his own character in his own original story. I hope maybe now i could do that with all the others in some way, so i dont forget them..) (he was all the same back then, down to dying from being bricked up inside a basement. except he became a magical gijinka instead of a more normal ghost.) (oh and this version had him as an adult instead of a child, and his personality was... vague? he started off as a loki-ish trickster and then was a complete jerk and then was the comic relief and then was a gym leader and blablabla. At one point he was even Reaper’s boyfriend, which is ridiculous now this character is a kid instead! (tho he’s still remained bisexual in honor of that) Funnily enough he was also Reaper’s sworn enemy gary oak rival at some point too!) (Basically he was the least developed personality-wise, so i dont feel bad that i changed him quite a bit as malachi. it doesnt feel like a change and more like i finally figured out what i originally wanted to do with him.)
~ RBY virtual console team ~
aaaargh only just got them and already lost them whyyyy
Chuppy the male Raichu (reincarnation of the first pokemon i ever got on my original Yellow cartridige, which got stolen because kids are ASSHOLES) (i cried for days and i feel like doing it again right now.. how little life changes...) Starlet the female Clefable Gumdrop the Nidoqueen
i didnt even have time to love you enouuuuughhh

Once More, With Feeling
You can practically hear it, Ivanka Trump and others in the inner circle of the President of the United States, telling him, "You have to do it. You have to," and him whining, "But I don't wannnnn-aaaa!"
The actual exchange may not have been so tragically comical, but that was the inescapable impression left from watching - not reading, mind you, watching - Donald Trump's first explicit public condemnation of anti-semitic attacks in the United States, which began escalating during the 2016 presidential campaign, escalated even further after Trump won the election, and were on full, vulgar display this past weekend.
Perhaps the most troubling thing about Trump's performance was watching him read his remarks. It's common knowledge that presidents and candidates often don't write their own statements, and even if Trump had had a TelePrompter available, last minute changes might not make it in time, but this wasn't a complicated policy statement or even one with lots of big, hard to pronounce words. No, Trump's inability to speak off the top of his head to the evil of discrimination and violence against a minority group in the country he leads was not simply frightening, it was enlightening, which made it more frightening still.
It's not like it's hard to share an opinion, honest or "alternative". Trump's probably tweeting something right now. It's not like it's hard to condemn violence and persecution against a group of people. Trump managed to bullshit his way through it at another press conference just last Thursday. Well, sort of.
Actually, he failed. Badly. He nakedly appeared to resent being made to admit that the rise in hate crimes against Jews in America seems to have shadowed his own rise. The journalist asking the question, Jake Turx, an orthodox Jew, may not have intended the question to be a challenge to or for Trump, but Trump cut him off just the same, belittling Turx as he reframed his question to suggest that all discrimination is sad, which is to say, just a shame, which is to say, not his problem. Next question.
This, was, it's worth noting, the same press conference in which he suggested a black journalist, April Ryan, set up a meeting between him and the Congressional Black Caucus. Because, you know, black. This made the press conference yesterday, piggy-backed on top of a visit with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson to the new African-American History Museum on the Washington Mall, all the more bizarre.
The press conference seemed to have been put together hastily and was clearly meant to make up for his lack of a personal public statement on the attacks, a glaring omission for someone tweeting so often. The speech he read, slowly, haltingly, awkwardly, was pretty basic. Hate crimes are evil and we must put a stop to them, was pretty must the gist.
In this case, however, Trump seemed to need help just to say what any decent human being must actually feel. Feeling, though, was what he lacked. It was a cold reading, like last minute lines pushed into the hands of an actor at an audition.
Compare it to any other of Trump's recent performances, or, better yet, to the gleeful performance of Stephen Miller just hours later on Fox News. Trump's Senior Policy Advisor and speechwriter was making the rounds to set the stage for the Trump administration's revised travel ban, the new one pretty much the same as the old one and just as discriminatory against Muslims and/or brown people.
This, ultimately, is why Trump condemning discrimination against any one group seems so false. How can we believe a man who so openly cultivated and exploited any and all bigotry, including anti-semitism, as he campaigned for president? How can we trust him and his administration to defend and protect one minority when he has built his domestic and foreign policies on discriminating against Muslims, Mexicans, blacks, the lgbtq community, and women?
Can it be possible to encourage and justify fear and hatred against one group and limit it to just that one? Can it be possible to exploit ignorance, fear, and hatred of one group during a political campaign only to stop it with a tweet or a half-assed line reading once in office? Of course, not. We would be stupid fools to believe it.
One other event happened yesterday. It was Milo Yiannopoulos, now-former senior editor at the extreme right-wing website Breitbart News, giving his own press conference. This is a man who has built whatever career it is he has by spewing the very same ignorance, fear, and hatred the Trump campaign reveled in. And why not? He was, after all, a protégé of Steve Bannon, the man whispering in Donald Trump's ear.
Yiannopoulos was caught the way most people like him are caught, with his own words. In this case, he was blithely defending pedophilia. He may have been simply provoking when he said it. "Provoking" is how he chose to frame what he did. Like an angry, spoiled teenage boy clutching the works of Ayn Rand, he was and no doubt remains obsessed with the ideal that everyone should have to accountable to him and that he should never have to be accountable to anyone else.
Accountability, as he and those still at Breitbart see it, is for the weak. Being made to be accountable to anyone, especially those different from us, is to be made weak. For him and them this is easy to understand.
If you doubt this, go back and watch all three of these press conferences, along with Miller's smirk-filled performance on Fox News. The defiance Trump, Miller, and Yiannopoulos show, the pronouncement that neither they nor their agendas are going away, this is where each of them comes to life. This is where we see truth, not in what they say but in who they are when they say it.
They aren't weak, they want us to know. We are. They feel this. They feel it deep in their bones. At least, they need to, and they won't let us take it away from them without a fight.
