#Educational Musical Cube
It amazes me sometimes. All these rappers that, when I was coming up, were gangsta and inappropriate. Now, Eminem is on Fortnite. Ice Cube is the guy from those family friendly comedies. Queen Latifah is only known by some as a primetime actress. Ice-T is a cop. And, Snoop hangs out with Martha Stewart and does Grubhub commercials.

Enid is absolutely a Disney adult and will drag Wednesday down to the parks every chance she gets. She takes photos with every princess she possibly can and is a veritable almanac of knowledge on each park they visit.
Trouble is, Wednesday is, well... Wednesday.
She rolls her eyes at every overly-cheerful worker, shoots death glares at anyone who dares to exceed 70 decibels in her presence, and lately has taken to educating small children about the true gruesome nature of their favorite white-washed fairy tales.
After nearly getting kicked out for a combination of these things, Enid needed to come up with a solution. There would be no 'fixing' Wednesday's sullen disposition, but she could redirect it.
Enid keeps her occupied in line with complex puzzles, her favorite is a Rubik's Cube in the shape of a dodecahedron.
She makes sure to have ice water handy whenever Wednesday gets too hot, as well as her favorite licorice candy.
They frequently take refuge in an unpopulated corner when Wednesday gets too agitated by other people, allowing her to recharge and listen to music. Enid draws patterns on her arm and just generally provides a comforting presence.
Enid lets Wednesday info dump about deaths on certain rides and/or the true nature of the fairytales depicted around the park as long as she does so quietly.
When coming or going, they wait specifically for the lime monorail because "everyone knows that's the best one". Enid doesn't argue.
After an incident-free day at EPCOT:
Enid, holding Wednesday close: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you enjoyed yourself today.
Wednesday: The educational aspects of this overpriced joy-farm are preferable to the mind numbing stupor the other parks aim to trap you in.
Enid, snickering: Admit it. You had fun.
Wednesday, scowling: ...I must concede that today's activities were not as loathsome as I might have guessed.
Enid, smiling brightly: I had fun too.
Wednesday, beginning to fall asleep in her girlfriend's arms: Te amo, mi sol.
Enid, kissing her cheek: Love you too, Wens.

Portal 12 Days of Christmas Prompt List
Tumblr media
What's this? Portal Christmas prompts? Sort of. Taking inspiration from the time of year, the celebrations, and the song itself, I'd like to present to you the Portal 12 Days of Christmas prompt list!
I did a lot of research to find prompts in four categories: prompts inspired by the song itself, prompts inspired by the various feasts and celebrations, prompts inspired by the more mundane aspects of the holiday, and of course Portal-specific prompts inspired by the first three in various ways.
While the actual 12 days of Christmas start at the end of the month, that time of year is far too busy for this sort of thing so I felt it would be better to post it earlier in the month to give people ample time to participate if they so choose.
Testing doesn't stop, even during the holidays, so let's bring some Aperture-themed cheer!
Written list and guidelines under the cut.
The rules are simple.
There's absolutely no obligation to participate every day. Some people are more busy than others this time of year, so participate at your own pace and comfort level. If you aren't inspired by a day's prompts or end up too busy to keep going, that's totally fine! It's all for fun.
Any medium you want to use is fine, whether physical or digital. Sketches, writing, felt work, renders, completed art… whatever sort of inspiration you might get!
Let's use the tag 'Portal 12 Days of Christmas' to track posts. I'll try to reblog any participating posts I see.
Prompts: Day 1: Trees, Feasting, Party, The surface Day 2: Partners, Mercy, Shopping, Companion Cube Day 3: Foreign/ the unknown, Devotion, Wine/drinks, Wheatley Day 4: Birds, Children, Role Reversal, GLaDOS' crows Day 5: Rings, Argument, Work, Portals Day 6: Eggs, Protection, Breakfast, Chell Day 7: Swimming/sports, Authority, New Year's Eve, GLaDOS Day 8: Farms, Mothers, New Year's resolutions, Lying when nervous Day 9: Dancing, Doctors, Friends, Atlas and P-Body Day 10: Flight, Names, Travel/visiting, Repulsion gel Day 11: Music, Education, Reading, Turret opera/GLaDOS singing Day 12: Time, Stars, Holiday cleanup, Cake

Source: San Bernardino Sun, 13 March 1987 by Donald Kaul
This review from 1987 is too funny and I love that he calls Valjean the student’s uncle but also, it’s too optimistic about American politics lol. 
Save your McGovern buttons, folks; liberalism shall rise again. And soon. You can feel it. It's not merely that the air is going out of Ronald Reagan's balloon, it's that the times they are achangin'. Many liberals these days don't even bother with a secret handshake when greeting each other. Others have taken to openly advocating such controversial liberal ideas as public education, clean water and help for the homeless. You think I'm rushing it, don't you? Well, perhaps, but you'll have to forgive me. I've just seen "Les Miserables." 
Perhaps you haven't heard about it yet? You will. "Les Miz," as we on the fast track call it, is the latest stage phenomenon to hit this country. It is a grandiose musical  — really more of an opera —  based on Victor Hugo's novel. Like the last such phenomenon, "Nicholas Nickleby," it comes from London, and like "NickNick" (fast track again), it is going to be a smash hit. It is a genuine, hand-tooled, gold-leafed, can't-miss, must-see show. 
Overlooked in the hoopla of a hit, however, is the fact that it, again like "Nickleby," is a liberal show. Its story is the triumph of bleeding heart liberalism over hard-hearted conservatism. And people are going crazy for it. 
"Rambo" is out; "Les Miz" and "Nick-Nick" are in. 
"Les Miz" is the story of a poor Frenchman during Napoleanic [sic] times who steals a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving child (which is, basically, the only reason liberals ever steal). He is caught and given 19 years in prison. Released from jail, Valjean is unable to get work because of his prison record, so he breaks parole and assumes a new identity. He is a great success in business and becomes mayor of a small town. 
Valjean is pursued through the years by a cop, Javert, who wears black clothes and smiles only when he steps on a butterfly. 
Javert keeps rediscovering Valjean and trying to arrest him, but the ex-con is too smart for him; he keeps slipping away. In the meantime, Valjean helps any widows and orphans he finds in his path. He is a sweetheart of a guy.
But does this cut any ice with Javert? Not a cube. He's determined that Valjean pay the price for breaking parole. He reminds one of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, actually. (If Valjean had been arrested for income tax evasion instead of stealing bread, they'd have probably let him off with a warning.) 
Finally, or almost finally, Javert is captured by idealistic rebels during a student uprising and is delivered into the hands of Valjean, who is being a sort of uncle to the students. Javert, naturally, expects to be shot. Instead, Valjean does the liberal thing; he lets him go. Javert later has a chance to return the favor and does, but he feels so unhappy at having violated the conservative code of honor by helping a liberal that he commits suicide.
Anvway, it all ends happily. Valiean dies, but he goes to heaven, where all good liberals go. Javert is conspicuous by his absence.
It is a great snow, the night I saw it at the Kennedy Center, Washington's liberals clapped so hard I thought their jewelry was going to fly off. 
The production is a return to the drama of the late 19th and early 20th century, before movies, when one of the things you went to the theater for was spectacle, crowd scenes, chariot races, waterfalls. The effects in "Les Miz" are magnificent. A pitched street battle with students and troops is reproduced on stage, then within moments we are in a Paris sewer with the escaping Valjean. The next minute we stay with Javert as he jumps from a bridge and plunges to his death.
As I said, it’s a great show and a harbinger of things to come. You still don't believe me? Listen: in his current film, Sylvester Stallone plays an arm-wrestler. Conservatism is being downsized. In his next film he'll probably play a social worker.
Remember, you read it here first.

“here is a message to the super hoes”
whew, name a more iconic and sex-positive opening line of a hip-hop song released in 1998 - during the genre’s golden era? well, maybe i am being hyperbolic, but almost every lyric in “jimmy” by the pioneering new york hip-hop group boogie down productions is a foundational text.
music enthusiasts, critics, and historians all agree that the late 1980s was a golden era for hip-hop. artists like public enemy, NWA, eric b. & rakim, and boogie down productions (BDP) were all reshaping the genre’s landscape by utilizing powerful storytelling for social commentary and activism.
composed initially of KRS-one, d nice, and scott la rock, BDP emerged in 1987 with their explosive and critically acclaimed debut album “criminal minded.” the impact of BDP’s hard-hitting style of rap narrated the realities of life in the bronx during the ronald reagan era was immediate. sadly, BDP was dealt a devastating blow in august 1987 when member scott la rock was murdered, just months after the release of the album. he was 25 years old.
Tumblr media
by the release of BDP’s sophomore album “by all means necessary” in april 1988, the group’s music had transitioned towards a more socially conscious and political commentary. inspired by Black revolutionary malcolm x’s philosophy of self-determination and empowerment, the album tackled topics ranging from racism, poverty, education, health, and the AIDS crisis.
“cuz now in winter aids attacks
so run out and get your jimmy hats”
written, produced, and performed by KRS-one, “jimmy,” short for “jimmy hat,” was a metaphor for condoms and was revolutionary for its time. amidst the track’s frenetic beats and melodic rhymes, the song delivers a crucial public health message about safer sex, prevention, and the responsibility we all have to protect our health and the health of our communities.
youtube
before the 1980s and the emergence of AIDS, condoms were primarily viewed and recommended as a means of preventing pregnancy, with their role in preventing sexually transmitted infections (s) receiving less emphasis. but by the mid-1980s, there was a collective effort by health organizations, activists, media and popular culture to normalize condoms and conversations about safer sex as a form of STI and HIV prevention.
“do me a favor, wear your hat”
while not officially released as a commercial single, "jimmy" was a standout track from the "by all means necessary" album and garnered radio play in the summer of 1988. just a few months after US surgeon general c. everett coop sent 107 million copies of a pamphlet titled understanding AIDS, to every household in the US. this effort remains the most extensive public mailing in history.
Tumblr media
boogie down productions’ “jimmy” is a pivotal moment in hip-hop history, demonstrating the genre’s capacity to engage with pressing societal issues. through their innovative approach to music and social commentary, BDP set the tone for artists like bell biv devoe, ice cube, salt n pepa, and TLC to use their platform for advocacy and/or safer sex education.
“jimmy,” with its candid message about safer sex and HIV prevention, served as an essential intervention in 1988, utilizing hip-hop to reach young people. the song remains a powerful reminder of hip-hop’s role in public health awareness and the genre’s enduring impact on pop culture.

Marc Spector as a regressor🖤:
🖍 apologizes frequently
🌕 needs down time/alone time after regressing
🖍 well behaved but became more playful and/or fussy as he became more comfortable with you
🌕 his nicknames for you: Baba, bubbi, miss/mister, mama, toot toot (/ref).
🖍 your nicknames for him: bub, little bud, baby boy, bean, little moon, honey.
🌕 prefers his thumb over pacifiers. He chews on his shirt hem or sleeves a lot as a replacement to a teether when he’s nervous.
🖍 has a bedside chest of toys. He has mostly toys and activities he missed in his childhood. You buy Marc more modern things as well and he’s totally in love with those too.
🌕 needs calming/soft music when upset
🖍 his regression is mostly involuntary and easily negative without supervision. That said, he often has breakdowns.
🌕 I cannon that he has a petspace as well
🖍 he likes onesies a lot but it took you a LONG time for him to be comfy wearing one around you willingly.
🌕 steven usually has the body while Marc is his small self because the outside world is very scary for Marc. When you’re around though, he’ll come out.
🖍 loves when you play with his hair or help him bathe (he either loves or hates bathtime so its helpful to ease him into it first). That said marc also cant stand being cold or cant sit still for the life of him.
🌕 he tries not to call you cg nicknames but fails miserably.
🖍 marc gets frustrated with himself pretty quickly, especially when he struggles to communicate. He gets aggravated with his babytalk and when that happens, you grab him a notepad to write on instead of talking.
🌕 also has accidents at times like Steven
🖍 Oh boy does Marc love praise and being babied.. especially when he’s having trouble fully regressing, he goes to you for help slipping.
🌕 LOTS of upset stimming (sometimes they are self harmful- you and Steven have been working with him to accommodate those.)
🖍 Marc is pretty giggly, he loves when you read him silly stories or tell jokes to cheer him up
🌕 Enjoys watching TV sometimes but would rather get attention from you and entertainment off of devices.
🖍 bedtime routine all the way
🌕 when he’s small, the boys usually go through a lot of switches before Marc is fully regressed and okay on his own.
🖍 loves sandboxes and sensory bins
🌕 enjoys playing games like hide and seek and educational activities
🖍 expanding on the above; has a bunch of learn-to-write books, activity booklets, worksheets, coloring books, and word searches.
🌕 Marc likes ‘class time’. Since he likes learning, You two came up with a little routine when he’s small for you to hold a school class. Homeschooling if you will. You act as a teacher and him a student (sometimes Steven will be present as well). You teach him things within his current age range, you quiz each other on said learned subject, you have crafts projects, building activities (sort of a recess or playtime), individual working times, etc.
🖍 loves crinkly sounds and rattles, so Marc likes those sensory cubes.
🌕 Always wants to show you, Steven, or Layla drawings he’s made. And all of you always hang them somewhere.
🖍 Layla was his previous caregiver (/pos) and still often babysits!
🌕 no cg preference, just happens to get feminine carers (plus Steven and Jake for babysitting).
🖍 this should totally be at the top but his age range goes from 1 years old to 9-10 years old. Although his common headspace age is around 6-8. Marc regresses due to trauma, to cope, for stress and other reasons!

⚡️ Thunder Howler (OC)⚡️
Russian name: Molniya
Note: Since Thunder is a copycat of Blitz — but less dysfunctional — and I decided to do the translation of the name Molniya which, in German, means “Lightening” 😈
Tumblr media
Theme songs:
Goals:
• To get Stolas to understand that he deserves better and to coax him away from his dysfunctional relationship with Blitz
* Also to make sure Stolas is more than loved physically, mentally, and emotionally; to treat him with kindness, respect (things he had been lacking from both Stella & Blitz)
• For Thunder to rekindle the estrangement between him and his biological daughter (even if it meant he allowed Loona to continue her familial relationship with Blitz, despite how hostile he felt about it)
Basics:
Species: Demon (Hellhound)
Sex type: Bottom (sub)
Sexuality: Pansexual
Ages:
• 30 years old (for Stolas)
• 18 years old (for Phoebe OC)
Height: 8ft tall
Sex: Male
Occupation(s):
• Bodyguard for Verosika Mayday (formerly)
* Got replaced by Vortex as soon as she had heard about Thunder giving his daughter up for adoption
• Prince Constort
* Through being married to Stolas, if their relationship goes very well
• Spelling Bee Champion
(Definite dig at Blitz and his spelling 🤣)
• Lead singer of his band (part time)
* Genre: TBD
• Florist (full time)
Nationality:
• Russian 🇺🇦 (from mum)
*So, unlike Blitz, who cusses purposely for aggression, Thunder does it because it’s part of his Slavic culture and they’re known for it.
• English 🇬🇧 (taught by Stolas)
_____________________________________
Flaws:
• Autism / ADHD
• Stage fright
• Insomnia
• Dyslexic
Strengths:
• Sexually experienced
*Thunder is more experienced than Stolas with both male and female partners, which is good because he can teach him what he likes and dislikes when come to being sexually active
• Literacy & spelling (like Stolas 😂)
• Emotionally stable
• Vulnerability
Weaknesses:
• Being family oriented
• Englishness (broken)
* Thunder may be perceived as pushy and gruff due to Russian being his first language for example: “you get better” (and really the accent doesn’t help 😂)
• Pacifism
* Unlike Stolas, who selectively kills as a last resort, Thunder will not be able to murder people even when it comes to friends & family being in danger
Likes:
• Intellectual games
* Crossword puzzles
* Rubiks cube
* Scrabble etc
• Educating people on things
* Particularly telling/showing Stolas CAN be gentle when it comes to having sex (and that it doesn’t have to be BDSM all the time)
• Complimenting on his boyfriend & rewarding him with public affection
• Gardening
* Given Thunder’s occupation, of course, and it fits in very well with one Stolas’s favourite hobbies 🥹
• Musical talents
* Being the leader singer of his unnamed band
• Jokes (especially when Stolas makes them)
• Speaking in his mother (native) tongue
• Calling Blitz by his deadname/vowel
• Stolas being a top (dominant) 😏
• His daughter (familial way)
• Stolas’s human form
• Family orientation
• Reading books
• Soap operas
• Positivity
• Therapy
• Sex (making love)
* Being a bottom
* Gentleness
* Pillow talk
* Foreplay
Sex kinks:
• Human forms
* If bedding a hellhound, Goetia and succubi / incubi (with the help of the Asmodean Crystals)
• Multiple languages
* Mainly the arousing ones like Italian or Spanish
• Being dominated
• Praising Stolas
• Role playing
• Leg fetish
Dislikes:
• Swearing
*Again, it’s apart of his culture to swear — unlike Blitz who does it out of aggression — but even though he does it himself he still doesn’t like it. Stolas would be pleased he doesn’t have to say “language!” every 5 minutes - which is ironic because he swears too… awww soulmates!! 🤣)
• His family being strictly homophobic (especially about Stolas’s sexuality)
* In Russia the punishable offence of being gay is death, so Thunder doesn’t mean to be a hypocrite, but it was how he was raised by, culture-wise
• Constantly being compared to Blitz and reminded that Thunder was never there for Loona as a father
• Stolas getting hurt (emotionally and physically)
• The song “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley
• Blitz being a good dad to Loona 🤣
• Striker trying to kill Stolas (twice)
• Being treated like a pet / servant
• “Quiet Time” being interrupted
• Loona being upset with him
• The idea of eating rats
• Being rough in bed
• Murders >>> I.M.P
• Dysfunction
• Blitz himself

Human form:
TBD
How would you describe Thunder’s personality?
(Pretty much everything that Blitz isn’t 😂)
• Homophobic
* As a part of his culture which includes killing people who are actually gay! Which is why he had run away from home because he didn’t want to be killed for being attracted to men half (pun intended) of the time
* Jealous of Blitz and Stolas’s relationship 😆
* Professional
* Respectful
* Protective
* Comedic
* Honest
* Patient
* Loyal
* Kind
* Wise
_____________________________________
Relationships:
Anfisa Belovuk-Howler:
Thunder’s mother was very strict with his upbringing and very much a homophobic which had lead Thunder to keeping it a secret that, if in future, he was pansexual.
He also oftentimes didn’t understand his mother’s accent or why she wanted him to learn Slavic languages but he went understood the best he could have done.
Ever since being forced to put Loona up for adoption as a pup, Thunder had cut all contact with Anfisa and taken his father’s surname, despite not being a “good influence”
Richard Howler:
Thunder had never met his father because he died when he was a puppy but he hadn’t heard good things about him so he was really indifferent about it.
Anastasia Belovuk-Howler:
TBD
Moona Moonstone:
Moona was Thunder’s first one night stand as he had begun to dabble around with his sexuality. But unfortunately he was more reckless than careful and soon enough impregnated her by accident.
Loona Buckzo / Howler:
Thunder has never met his daughter and when he had briefly, as a pup, Anfisa had stomped on it and told him to put her through an orphanage (preparing her storyline with Blitz 😈) and that no son of hers will be a father to a “bastard” child out of wedlock
His goal is make it up to Loona for “abandoning” her and putting her in the Hellhound Adoption Centre as a puppy and wants to rekindle their estranged father/daughter relationship
Stolas of the Ars Goetia:
The relationship became complicated whilst they were both “rebounding” (on the owl’s part 😂) from their previous relationships. Thunder first met Stolas in a gardening store to pick up some supplies for his flower shop.
Stolas had told Thunder that the didn’t want anything more than causal sex because he was still hurting from his “relationship” which both parties were in agreement.
Over time as Thunder and Stolas grew closer and closer to one another they eventually developed into a natural relationship (after many arguments, hurt feelings, and growth, and some respective therapy sessions)
Blitz Buckzo:
Thunder had NEVER liked Blitz. Not on— okay, maybe for a while he had, but that had been before finding out about his personality and type of person he was.
He also hadn’t liked the way Stolas would speak of him highly and even announced that he sometimes missed their situationship affair.
Thunder would oftentimes remind Stolas that he was in a better relationship now and that he didn’t need Blitz or his dysfunction anymore, that, he had done it out of the goodness of his heart to give him the book so he can continue his business but it wasn’t reciprocated in return.
Angel Dust:
Angel Dust had been the one to introduce Thunder to Stolas to help him “get over” Blitz and help the latter start his new life
T.J. of the Ars Goetia:
Thunder was excited to be a father to T.J. to begin with — hoping to incorporate some of his GOOD traits into her — but when she started having more of Blitz’s mannerisms he started to become more indifferent & polite towards her

I'm saying this with all my love and respect because I do love Idle members and most of their music but they should educate themselves on the topic of female songwriting and producing in kpop before speaking because it's a lot more nuanced than they're making it sound.
Having said that, SOOJIN! I'm late in finding out but OMG, it's incredible! She's so strong and brave and I'm so looking forward to having her back, I never imagined it could be possible! I thought about a possible reunion after Idle's contract is up but never this! Cube must be seething! And if she and Idle ever happen to be on the same show? Like how is it even going to go? Would they interact? Would they talk? I feel like my head is going to explode, wow
Personally I’m not the best with any producing history in kpop and I don’t follow any groups prior to 2018. But soyeon is recognized as a groundbreaking producer. She fought tooth and nail for every song since debut. She has mentioned how difficult it was specifically because she was a woman as she started to show interest in it. She has earned her fame and rights to brag. And whenever I see Yuqi and Minnie talking about producing they just sound so proud of it? That they can do it (both in terms of being able to make music and having earned the opportunity / right to do so). I don’t see any issue with them being vocal about how proud they are. I’m not sure I’m getting my point across because I’m not sure I even understand what you mean by nuanced? Like the way I’m interpreting I just don’t think they need to be defensive about it in terms of “oh we produce but x and y did it too” or “oh we produce but we understand it’s one in a million companies who will even give women this opportunity” I don’t think they need to explain and excuse themselves at every turn, and can and should just be loudly happy about it. The more natural they make it sound then maybe more groups will have this opportunity. If this was not what you meant or you want to give me further details please feel free to do so.
About SOOJIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m trying to be soooooooooo cool but like. I don’t think I have fully processed it yet. Obviously I dreamed but realistically I didn’t think she would even want to come back. I’m still holding a grudge against knetz and I don’t even trust them to do this solo debut right. But her Instagram had a very good response, so hopefully her debut will go smoothly and she will be 4th and 5th gen main slayer and truly the industry needs her. About her and the rest of the members public interactions im sure cube will spend a lot to backlist her at least from m countdown. There’s simply no way they’re gonna let miyeon interview Soojin or something or let any other member be spotted in a 2km radius near her. Her own team will probably avoid comebacks near each other if they’re smart. I do say this about public interactions though cause I’m still certain they’re all friends privately.

Hi! ♡ I’d really love to ask for a romantic Mystic Messenger, Tears of Themis, and Obey Me match-up, if you don’t mind and whenever you have the time.
⋆。˚ Demographics. • Name: Seri • Age: 20 years old • Pronouns: She/Her • Sexuality: Heterosexual • Zodiac Sign: Aquarius • MBTI: INTJ (?) • Education: Double major in finance and accounting
⋆。˚ Physical Appearance. • Height: 173cm (5’8”) • Hair Style: Currently have a long, Elizabeth perm • Hair Color: Chocolate Brown • Eye Color: Chestnut Brown • Clothing Style: Chic and feminine
⋆。˚ Personality. • At first glance, I may come across as someone difficult to get to know, stoic, and distant, but I am just a naturally private person unless there is a common ground, or it is necessary to speak up (to the point where I opposed a fair few of teachers and the chief academic officer once in school due to their hanker after blind obedience and even got detention a few times, lmao). In spite of my reputation for being closed-off, I am easygoing, open-minded, playful, and quite amiable when I want to, as I can make people feel either comfortable or intimidated in my presence. • I have no issues socializing and spending time with others because it’s eye-opening and thought-provoking to meet and listen to other people’s different viewpoints and values at times, but I am particularly partial to the company within myself—except if it’s the people I am very fond of. • I am upfront about my intentions, decisive, outspoken concerning my opinions and stance, well-organized, strong-willed, self-assured, good at managing my time, quick to take on new challenges and learn new things, and an independent thinker. • I like doing things that make my friends and family happy as long as it’s reasonable, doesn’t infringe on my principles and personal boundaries, and is within my capacity. After all, I do my best to practice all five love languages with them. If they enjoy some activity or develop an interest in something, I try learning and spending time with them bonding about it (which ultimately leads me to this bottomless pit of Otome games, lmao). If they want a materialistic gift, I have no problem purchasing it for them, or during some special occasions, I gift them something memorable. If they are preoccupied or swamped with some matters, I take the initiative to accomplish a task that will lessen the burden on their shoulders, or simply take care of them. I am good at giving verbal support and validation and quite adept at seeing things from other individuals' perspectives. Lastly, once I sense they are down in the dumps, I give them hugs! ♡ • I am passionate about the things I am doing in my life. I never do and accomplish anything half-hearted and less than a hundred percent of what I know I am capable of; it’s always and only either “not doing it” or “giving my hardest.” I love challenging my limits while improving and growing along the way, too.
⋆。˚ Preferences. • Likes: Tea (especially the floral blends), coffee (especially lavender latte), gardening, floral scents, spring season, cooking and baking (only for me and my special people), traveling, drinking and collecting wines, watching musicals and operas, volunteering, mathematics, science, KPOP, classical music, puzzle games and riddles, mystery solving activities, and anything that challenges my intellect. • Hobbies: Car racing, archery, sketching, photography, documenting my everyday life through videos, reading, playing Rubik’s cube and tabletop games, pilates, dancing, shopping (with my hard-earned money), skiing, and playing piano and violin. • Dislikes: Summer season, anything to do with horror and thrillers, afterparties, fireworks, singing, raw vegetables, people that projects their insecurities onto me and others, groundless rumors and malicious gossips, and being talked about behind my back.
⋆。˚ Extra Information. • I have a keen memory and exceptional skill and intuition in knowing and reading others and the room, which has been a tremendous help in responding and reacting well in various situations. • I have competed in some pageants and various mathematics, science, and debate competitions. After all, I like collecting medals, trophies, and certificates, lmao. I was also a student council president in my high school, but I no longer hold any leadership position nor joined any competition after entering college due to my double major and my current part-time as a model (just started a month ago, though). • I have two female pets—a Ragdoll named Soraya or simply Sai for short and a Samoyed named Snow.
That’s all I can think of right now. Thank you very much! ♡
Hi Seri! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took a while! I hope you like your matchups!
In Mystic Messenger, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Zen loves that you're an artistic person. As an actor, he needs that in his life.
He loves listening to you play the violin and piano and will absolutely join you in dancing. He's got the balance and posture for it so he's pretty good at dancing.
He finds it easy to match the energy of your dancing so whether it's an upbeat rhythm or a slow song, he doesn't mind.
Zen is pretty used to being surrounded by rumours and gossip since he's in the spotlight so much. But he's going to do everything in his power to keep you away from all that.
I think Zen would enjoy doing video journaling with you. It's pretty popular amongst public figures so, if you're comfortable with it, he'll upload a short video every day about his life.
He would love your cooking! There's nothing better than spending the day working on his latest role and coming home to a home cooked meal with his favourite person in the entire world. It makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
In Tears of Themis, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Artem loves that you’re a family oriented person. He may not seem like it, but those sort of deep connections mean a lot to him. He’s glad he falls into that category.
He also greatly admires your strong-willed, organised nature. Those things are critical in his line of work so having someone that shares those traits really helps him out. He’s got a pretty strict routine so he’s glad you’re okay with that sort of thing.
Please take photos of the two of you whenever you go on dates! Artem will save every single one and put them on a digital photo frame on his desk.
The frame rotates between photos randomly so wherever he looks up from his work, there’s always a different photo of the two of you to greet him.
Artem would enjoy listening to you play the violin and piano. He seems like the kind of person who knows music so please know that whenever he compliments your playing, he knows what he’s talking about.
If he hears anyone talking negatively about you behind your back, he’s shutting that down so fast. He’s not an openly confrontational guy but when it’s something like that, he has little patience for the other person.
In Obey Me, I match you with...
Tumblr media
I’m just realising that if I’d matched you with Jumin Han, we would have had the holy trinity of matchups. But I stick with what I said about Zen!
Like Artem, Lucifer may not seem like it at first but he’s a very family oriented guy. He cares deeply about his brothers and, of course, about you.
Coffee dates! Whether you go out to a café or stay in and make the coffee yourself, Lucifer enjoys being in your presence with one of his other favourite things…a good cup of coffee.
As an extension, Lucifer loves your baking. Nothing makes his day better than going down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and finding fresh baked snacks lying on the counter. He can always tell who’s made the snacks and his favourite days are the ones when he can tell you’ve been cooking.
Another one who knows good music when he hears it. He’ll give you pointers where necessary to make your playing better but for the most part, he just likes listening. There’s something nice about the little imperfections.
If you’re dating one of the brothers, there are going to be a lot of rumours and gossip. However, Lucifer’s social standing and presence means you have scary-dog privileges wherever you go.

⏤ (  zoey deutch.  twenty four.  cis woman  +  she/her.  )  new  rome  doesn’t  wait  for  anyone,  WENDY ROSE,  child  of  DEMETER with  the  power  of  CHLOROKINESIS.  it  must  be  your  FOURTH  year  here  because  of  your  SKEPTICAL  attitude  about  classes  starting  again,  but  i  bet  your  professors  appreciate  your  SUNNY  nature  in  the  classroom  while  you  study  CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.  after  class,  you’ll  always  sacrifice  your  BUTTERMILK PIE  in  the  dining  hall,  and  if  people  can’t  find  you,  they  should  try  checking  the  FARMS OF CERES  or  by  looking  for  heart shaped sugar cubes in coffee, overused vintage journals, a guitar and a bundle of baby’s breath on a picnic blanket, fresh baked cinnamon buns.  good  luck  this  year,  WENDY.  (  Mandy,  26,  pst,  n/a  ). 
BASICS:
Name: Wendy Grace Rose Age: 24 Birthday: February 23rd (Pisces) Sexuality: Heterosexual Marital Status: Single Positive Traits: sunny, sweet, nurturing, talkative Negative Traits: skeptical, awkward, distracted, forgetful Hobbies: Songwriting, singing, guitar playing
THE STORY (tw: bullying):
Wendy was born on a farm called The Old Rose Orchards in Monroe County, Georgia, one of the richest agricultural lands in the Southeast. The farm was passed down from generation to generation and was a hot-spot for locals all year round. Demeter imagined the most beautiful child who would care for the Earth for her and she was born in a rose bud in the middle of the field. The farmer found her and considered her a gift that he named Wendy, after his late wife. Wendy was bit with the musical bug as a child whenever she'd work in the fields with her dad, humming and singing even when her dad's friends, guests of the farm, and even her school teachers begged her not to. Music was how she managed to get through tasks, as she was just too easily distracted. There was one teacher, however, whom she'd never forget. She was her 3rd grade art teacher and she was the only one who let Wendy have her own corner in the studio during after hours to work on anything she wanted, so she could sing without bothering the other students. Such a kind gesture meant the world to Wendy. Miraculously enough, after a few years of convincing on Wendy's part, her father met, fell in love, and married that beautiful teacher. Having a stepmom that she idolized changed everything. Wendy discovered her power after her middle school bully tried to embarrass her in front of the whole school cafeteria. Suddenly the plants were breaking through the glass windows and tangling their vines around their legs, chaining them to the walls and nearly suffocating them. Of course, she was expelled at her father's request, and it was finally time to tell her where she came from. It gutted her that it made her feel like less than her stepmother's daughter, knowing that her mother was this entity that she couldn't even see or believe. It took years for her to accept that this was her life now, as a demigod she would have to relinquish half her life and trade it in for something entirely new. Living so many years on a farm, she adjusted well to the demigod lifestyle, but she still longed for The Old Rose Orchards, greeting people before the strawberry pick season began. New Rome University seems to be a better fit for her, as she can study to become a school teacher, like her step-mama.
TLDR; Wendy was born from a rosebud on The Old Rose Orchard, which is her dad's farm. He found her and took her in, naming her after his deceased wife. He married Wendy's middle school art teacher, whom she loved with all of her heart. Taking her away from her home was really hard and she still feels really homesick, but she fills her time with writing songs and playing her guitar, as singing and music are her biggest passions, besides become a teacher like her step-mom.
SIMILAR CHARACTERS: Princess Fiona (Shrek), Diana Berry (Anne with an E), Charles Boyle (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Mirabel Madrigal (Encanto), Elizabeth Bennett (Pride and Prejudice), Jessie (Toy Story 2), Anna (Frozen), Lucy Gray Baird (TBOSAS)
WC's ( yes, the vibe is definitely "Speak Now" era LOL):
Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift. Probably someone who she had a crush on and it didn't work out at all. Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac. This one is like HER ANTHEM. Maybe these could be people like-minded to her, people who look at the world optimistically and are just as sweet as her. Long Live by Taylor Swift. Her best friends. I'm hoping for like golden trio vibes where she is the like the one that keeps the morale going strong with a good joke or two. Mean by Taylor Swift. I give anyone who wants this one full permission to be mean to her because honestly, adversity builds character and her skin should be thickened a bit, I feel. We can talk about what makes you comfortable, but I think a good banter back and forth would be lots of fun. Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift. I like to go more off of chemistry for a romantic connection, so I'm mostly putting this here just to be like "I am pretty much open to any ideas and to doing some interacting and seeing where this goes". I also do enjoy a good set up and seeing how it works. Like maybe bantering class competitors or he's tutoring her or vice-versa. Maybe one of them has a crush on the other. IDK let's just have fun with it!

Sonic! Shadow? Uh. Taking your mind off things. What's your favorite Sonic song? Or, more specifically, let's do two questions: What's your favorite Character Vocal Theme, and what's your favorite stage music? Also, do you like the 2D games? Do you like the 2000s-era 3D games? (The 2000s-era 2D games?) Do you like the 2010s-era Boost games? Also, the Sonic Heroes manual says Eggman is a feminist. What wave of feminism do you think he identifies with? ….are these questions okay
1a) favorite vocal sonic theme song
dreams of absolution even tho silver himself is just an ok character lol
1b) favorite game stage music
ok so technically my favorite song from the games isn’t a stage theme - it’s the ending credits theme of sonic 3. i usually don’t care about credit music bc yknow…it’s the end and the music at the end of things isn’t usually relevant or stands out. but this song does to me - it’s like one of the only ending credit songs where it actually makes me feel like i accomplished something grand. idk might be silly but it’s a good song anyways ok
honestly sonic 3s music in general is probably in my top faves overall
2a) do you like 2d games
this seems a little broad so i mean…yeah i guess. i still have my nintendo ds lol. my favorite game was drawn to life :3
2b) 2000s era 3-d games?
along with the ds, i grew up with a playstation 2, a game cube, a wii, and sometimes an xbox, and also a computer/laptop. i played a lot of stuff lol
mostly i enjoy ps2 games, but there are a handful of titles i have lots of nostalgia for on gamecube and wii
the sly cooper trilogy for ps2 is my all time fav. i got an emulator just to replay them, but i also got other games and wanna emulate more stuff i missed out on as a child, it’s pretty fun
2c) 2000s era 2-d games?
yeah, whatever i had for the ds i guess. other than that i’m not sure, it’s a broad category tbh
3) boost games?
im not exactly sure what this is referring to? i tried looking it up but i couldn’t find anything. sorry lol
bonus) feminist eggman
eggman is definitely a feminist and he’s aware of the various waves and nuances and all around well educated about it
however i think his ultimate conclusion would just be that every woman deserves a robot
thanks for the questions this was fun !

time for my tardis is a radio station au
TARDIS is a radio sation. doctor's companions fit perfectly as co-hosts, so that's what jack and rose are. after rose's disappearance, jack is a regular guest who captivates the audience's hearts. doctor: you're on air! a caller: finally! can you say hello to jack for me? no one sees it, but jack has such a victorious expression that it's painful to watch. "no rose we will not invite him to the show and yes he has a lot of great stories and a charming smile you met while he was selling you a non-existent antique relic at my request and yes he is a specialist rose no" when jack runs in with two coffees as an apology and a martini for himself, the doctor gets him on air and even though he kicks jack out when it's barely over, rose calls back the next day the fact that episodes with jack's appearance are getting more views than any of his hits the doctor to the core every time he sees the stats doctor: who drank all the coffee? rose: oh, it was jack. he worked overtime last week. doctor: he's getting fired. rose: we can't fire people just because you're too lazy to fill the coffee machine, doctor.
when the doctor vindictively doesn't fill up the coffee machine on precisely the day jack needs to work overtime, jack swaps sugar and salt and the doctor angrily spits the rest of the day jack is like "how do you like my new recipe" and the doctor is this close to kissing/hitting him doctor: you add alcohol to your coffee? jack: right now are non-working hours! doctor: sharing is caring doctor: jack, there's milk in my coffee jack: and? doctor: i don't drink coffee with milk jack: oh yeah! well, you'll remember this the next time you do your coffee yourself. jack, watching the doctor add 7 cubes of sugar to tea: someday you'll get diagnosed with diabetes. doctor: not before you'll drink yourself to death. a caller: hi, this is TARDIS? jack: it sure is! i'm jack harkness, and what's your name? ;) doctor: STOP IT
the TARDIS is the only workstation of the Gallifrey radio company after a massive disaster (including notable losses and blowed up buildings) initially, the doctor worked on a completely different project and almost forgot about his internship inTARDIS, but because of the disaster, he returns and is given almost absolute creative freedom which allows him to drastically change the station’s schedule half an hour before the broadcast, chat about anything of interest and somehow get access to news and songs that should be released at least half a day later jack, thanks to a murky past and an education suited for running and fixing things like components of the TARDIS, becomes a purveyor of on-air prep, fresh gossip and credible commentary rose thought the building abandoned, but after a brief explanation and assurance that no, this is not a drug den, she joined the TARDIS has an entire floor dedicated to the studio, with no rooms other than for recording and equipment, where the jack regularly fumbles and delights in somehow one hundred percent working ancient exhibits somewhere in all the rubbish, jack finds a gramophone and becomes delighted with the fact that someone else keeps such junk. rose and doctor dance to the music from it, once the gramaphone is repaired. after a tense scene, when jack is recalled to cardiff for a showdown (which took place, among other things, because of the doctor), the doctor changes the lock and when jack returns a couple of years later, his key does not fit, and neither music nor voices echo from inside he, of course, like any reasonable person, picks the lock and waits for the doctor for a year - becoming the host of another radio station, TORCHWOOD, because of course doctor took the spirit of the TARDIS with himself. i don’t know what to do with the timline, but i really want jack to be in a war for those two years, maybe taking place not in cardiff bonus if the doctor has experience as a war survivor (you can hear me sigh in ukrainian) bonus 2.0 if doctor and jack fight and then bond because of it bonus 3.0 if the doctor was helped survive the war by working in gallifrey and when the company collapses before his eyes and possibly because of him, it fucking hurts in short, i want the doctor to fuck up and get fucked up because of this, to fuck up jack. yet jack continues to cling to him until the Confrontation happenes and carefully, dancing on broken glass, they try to coordinate in a new cracked relationship without rose, because that rose is no more and they both mourned.  still, when music from an old gramaphone plays like on that very evening, they dance to the quiet rumbling of mechanisms, to soft sighs and unspoken lyrics, they dance and something shatters between them, letting them breath

tell me something i'd be surprised to learn about francis. pleeease.
:000 jdhdhd while i wouldnt know what exactly would surprise you, i’ll just let you know that:
she plays piano and is otherwise musically talented, though she doesnt utilize it at all
she likes jigsaw puzzles and rubix cubes…any puzzles really!
dislikes animals but has a childlike fascination with sea creatures and dinosaurs. she could spend all day looking at pictures of whales and octopi
she’d seriously be a fan of sesame street if it existed in SE, but she’d keep it a secret
HATES horror movies. she’s not a fan of movies in general but the horror genre especially exacerbates her anxiety and paranoia to the point of throwing the tv out the window and locking herself in the bathroom
while illiterate shes actually pretty good at math…she’s actually interested in history but her knowledge is very sparse and unclear due to previously stated illiteracy/lack of education
has no concept of money. she thinks its fucking stupid
hope one of these surprises you! :3

I’m blogging...OUTSIDE. The weather here has been bearable, even though snow is scheduled for Tuesday. I’m sitting in this chair outside the Honors College that has “fuck you” faintly carved into one of the armrests. There’s a name also craved underneath, but it’s too hard to make out. An extremely yellow leaf just blew off the tree a few feet away from me and smacked me in the face. It’s quite a rainbow looking at all the nature around here. They don’t call it Tree City for no reason, unless they decide to make everything Esplanade flat and perfectly mowed and boring.
Taylor Hall is a glance away. I was sitting on Blanket Hill facing the old victory bell a few minutes ago, but I couldn’t concentrate on blogging just sitting on the ground. Quite a few people have been walking by looking at the unfinished memorial and the May 4 informational signs today. It’s pretty much always older people, no matter which side of Taylor you’re facing.
I think about that a lot, and the more I see how this campus functions, the more I feel that urge to enact some change. Things feel frozen in time here, and to be frank, it’s not in a good way. The weather might be okay for a cardigan, but I feel like too many people here are frozen in ice cube trays of apathy and acceptance. When people are encouraged to take action, they rarely do. On a general level, depending on the world view of whoever you’re asking, the only way to make change is to either vote for someone who doesn’t truly represent you or risk your life marching in the street and relying on buzzwords. They rarely tell you that there’s room for sneaky introverts in that process. And that sneaky, introverted work, the subversive work, the work that fits my style the most, is often the hardest.
Hell, half of the time the people who are rallying the most for change seem dismissive of the prospect of change actually occurring. There’s an exhibition of letterpress prints in Taylor right now, and some of them are truly amazing. There’s something so satisfying about a good letterpress design, with the jumbled remixed letters and strong colors. There’s just nothing better. But when I was walking through the exhibit the other day, one of the posters on display, frankly, made me angry. It was very post-Roe hopeless. All the text was about how women have the “freedom” to die of an ectopic pregnancy and be incubators and the like, topped off by the declaration, “so much freedom!” Like I’m going to let anyone tell me what I can do with my body. You make change by just not letting people do nefarious things to you. Or, alternatively, you make it by letting yourself do the things that you know are the best, even if they are unpopular. Both of these types of defiance can be very hard, especially the last one, and neither get you many political brownie points. You get those points by beginning and ending at complaining. That changes nothing. Speaking, writing, creating art and music, holding events, educating others, proving other people wrong is how you change things. You have to show that you own them when they try to own you.
With this in mind, no matter how hard it is to accomplish, I’m really hoping to skew the ratio.
