"Are you flirting with me?" jjk characters.
-how jjk men flirt with their crushes.
toji, nanami, satoru, and sukuna (f).
genre! | warnings. fluff and maybe mentions of fucking! + none, except swearing.
note. i guess im back in tumblr again, be nice to me it's been a long time :(. also not proofread cause it's midnight here in ph, im tired.
Toji.
•This man most certainly knows how to flirt, flirt. Like I'm saying this man has natural rizz.
•He has a lot to say.
•And he's hot, he knows that so he mainly uses that to his advantage, and God is it hot insufferable.
•He flirts by using his charms, mostly his facial expressions and he carries himself by his body language and words.
•And damn he's good with it, he's great at it.
•He knows just by the wink of his deadly eyes he'd have you in the palm of his hand just like that.
"I missed you, doll." His deep grouchy voice basically whispers, his hot breath basically fanning your face. Yeah, he was indeed that close to you, and just like that you felt heat rising up to your cheeks in an instant, "Did you miss me?"
It took you some time to find the right words to say back to the ebony haired man in front of you, his figure basically towered you. His eyes looking down at you with some sort of a demure way.
"Why would I miss you, toji?" you query his statement.
The scarred man then brings his large calloused hands up to your neck and touching the side of it. his thumb was caressing your cheeks under his skin. the tip of his fingers were basically at the back of your neck, the hair at the back of your neck by and large stood up.
He licks his lips, "why wouldn't you?"
Nanami.
•he's a sly one.
•he's not verbal in flirting, he's more on the physical side but with your full consent of course.
•he knows his limits, but it's the fact that his touches sets your skin ablaze tells a story that you maybe feel the same way for him.
•he knows he's not good with words, but action he can be justify on, like; a hand on your waist, a tuck behind your ear, a pat on the head, and more!
•the mans know how to hold a woman fr.
•despite his undeniable overwhelming strength, but if it's you hes taking a hold of, it's like he's holding the most fragile thing in the entire universe.
"nanami, good to see you." you exclaim with a smile whilst the blone entered the elevator with you, he settles himself beside you. the elevator door then closes, "having a good day?"
"yes, indeed." he answers coldly, his head turns to you and his fox-like eyes stare right into yours, your breath was caught in your throat just like that, just by his stare it was already enough to have you by the throat. "though, I am tired."
"oh really? then you should take a rest." you advice him, you were so caring, you were such a sweet thing weren't you? always minding people's business in a good way, always telling them what's good and bad for them. that's exactly why nanami took a liking of you.
the blonde workaholic walks closer to you, closing the distance between the two of you in an instant as your chest touches against each other. you were caught off guard by the sudden bold movement, "nanami?" you tried to call for him, trying to make up the words to ask him what was he doing.
he dared not to touch you without your permission, "may I?" with a hum of agreement from you, his hands instantly went tothe sides of your waist as he brings your torso closer to his, you yelped quietly at the sudden force. it took you some time before coming up with the conclusion, nanami was flirting with you inside the elevator without a doubt.
Satoru.
•Now this man. he's just loud.
•if nanami is bad with words, this man is a different topic.
•he knows lots of things.
•he uses this to his advantage when he takes a liking of someone, showers them with praises or just being annoying to grab their attention.
•he's the og lover boy, it doesn't matter if he means it, his words are always so enduring, it can just capture a womans smile in an instant.
•he definitely knows what he's doing.
you were just enjoying yourself in the comfortness of your peaceful office, "good morning, baby!"
"get out, satoru." you bite, wanting nothing more than to just have a hour or two for yourself, but this man, this silver porcupine would always find himself tangled up in your time. "and stop calling me that." you tell him once more, satoru sighs dramatically before taking a seat right on the table of your office which was in front of you.
"like what, baby?" he made sure to emphasize the pet name and it makes you look up at him with your right eye basically twitching, "don't be so uptight, I know you love it."
"w...what." that single word was the only thing that got out of your lips, "struggling to find the words pretty?" satoru brings his face closer to you after he gets himself off of your table and walked over to you, he was now basically looking down at you. just imagine the damn height difference, by now you stood up from your seat, "just date me already."
Sukuna.
•now this man ughhhhh i have such a big fat crush on this man.
•anywhooo, i think sukuna is more on being the bold type of flirt, like he'll definitely say something that comes to mind, and do whatever he wants when he feels like it.
•he wants his feelings to he obvious, and whats the point of being a pussy anyway, that what he thinks.
•he's charming and of course he knows that, and he definitely knrw how to handle his words and actions.
•i can give up everything just for him to fuck me literally.
"you know what I'm capable of." his voice was deep and was basically warning you, "yet here you are, spending the night with me." you didn't know really, everyone had this impression of sukuna being a bully, they weren't wrong actually. but to you, he was different. but in all honesty, he was just differentin your eyes because he treated you differently than most others, and that eas because he liked you.
"I don't mind it, suki." you tell him, he basically groans mentally at the way you say that nickname of his, he grabs your chin to make you look up at him, his read eyes piercing right into your soul. you were just so clueless huh, you were so fucking oblivious of ehat you were doing to him, "such a good little girl are you huh doll." he had feelings for you and you were kind of stupid about it, you thought sukuna was like that to most people but... you failed to be a smart ass.
heat rose up your cheeks instantly at his words and the mere inches between the two of you, "you've got a thing for me girl, it's apparent."
notes ii. im not confident about this one, i could've done better.

welsh remus guide pt.3
Third Lesson
Right then, lads. It’s alphabet time.
Often, when looking at Welsh place names, it can seem confusing and overwhelming for anyone who is unfamiliar with Welsh. Sometimes, the confusion comes from not realising that the names are in Welsh.
Visually, we use the Latin alphabet and so it’s easy to make the assumption that the Welsh alphabet is exactly the same as the English.
It is not, my dudes.
To begin with, the following letters do not exist:
K, Q, V, X, Z
Secondly, these are the vowels:
A, E, I, O, U, W, Y
(Occasionally H is also a vowel but I couldn’t tell you when or why??? I usually go off of vibes)
Next, are the double letters. They count to us as single letters and each make a unique sound:
CH, DD, FF, NG, LL, PH, RH, TH
NG as in thiNG
PH as in PHil
FF as in Fun
RH as in RHiannon
TH as in THat
Now comes the uh, more complicated sounds.
For those familiar with German words such as Nacht or the name Brecht, the Welsh CH is that same sound.
CH as in naCHt
DD is like a harder TH sound. It is NOT a D sound.
LL sounds like hissing. I genuinely don’t know how else to explain this. It straight up does not exist in majority of languages but there are some out there with the same sound (sometimes shown with a different letter).
To hear it and learn more here’s a better explanation.
This is a really fun video on the different accents but someone mentions the town Llanelli so it’s also a good example of the LL sound.
And so in full we have:
A. B. C. CH. D. DD. E. F. FF.
G. NG. H. I. J. L. LL. M. N. O.
P. PH. R. RH. S. T. TH. U. W. Y.
There’s no K because the C is always a hard C sound.
There’s no V because a single F is always a hard V sound.
J is a modern addition to help us with new modern words we’ve loaned from English. Such as Joke becoming Jôc.
G is always a hard guttural G sound.
Despite misconceptions, Welsh is actually vowel heavy and we tend to stretch vowels. If a letter has a little roof on it, like “ô” or “ŵ” then it’s an extended/longer sound.
This means, when speaking English, our vowels are more likely to be elongated.
Similar to the “r” in Spanish, the Welsh “r” is rolled and therefore many will still roll their Rs when speaking English.
For a reason I have yet to discover, despite H being perfectly clear and pronounced when speaking in Welsh, when we speak English, a lot of areas have a habit of dropping the H sound.
“Here” becomes “Ere” or “Yere”
I am guilty of this. Why do I do this? I genuinely can’t tell you.
For the reasons above, the following words sound stupidly similar to each other:
Ear
Year
Here
Hear
As with any language, understanding the basic sounds helps you understand the core of the accent.
In terms of character dynamics, I would take note that the “CH” and “LL” sounds along with our supposed “lack of vowels” is usually what the language is mocked for. Usually by English folk but other folks, including non-Welsh speaking Welsh folks are perfectly guilty of this mocking.
Fun fact: I didn’t realise W and Y weren’t vowels in the English language when I was a small child. So I really didn’t get why they thought there wasn’t any vowels in our place names.
Another thing to note is that the Welsh language and accents are very up and down. It’s not usually flat or monotone. A lot of people also describe them as melodic. Sing-songy even.
Colourful alphabet video with BSL
Shorter alphabet video
Note: I am not the collective consciousness of every Welsh person. My experience is not universal - especially when it comes to North Walian things. This is just meant to serve as a general guide. Hope this helps and good luck with your writing!

Me again, a follow up question. While I know it's pretty much impossible to have a perfect transposition from greek to latin alphabet, I'm trying to have at least some kind of ruling. This said, would you transpose κ as a english "K" (harsh sound) or "c" sweet sound. Ex, Αλκιμεδων is Alkimedon or Alcimedon or whatever? Thank you
That's a great question. The truth is that the transliteration of Greek to Latin characters is terrible because even though the closest letters are chosen, these letters often have different sounds between the two alphabets. The problem is aggravated by the fact that English especially took a lot of Greek words via their Latin version and not directly and by the reliance on the popular Erasmian pronunciation which is questionable on so many levels (and ugly), to say the least.
Grasping the opportunity provided by your example, there is not a soft c in Greek at all. Never has been. The closest one by sound is σ (σίγμα) which is the equivalent of s. There is only κ (kappa) which is a harsh k. The frequent usage of c in words of Greek origin probably only means that these words have made a passing through the Latin language first.
But not just that, d is considered the equivalent of δ but the latter hasn't been pronounced as d for a couple millenias and even when it did, it was still softer than the modern d of the latin alphabet languages.
So the correct way to transliterate Αλκιμέδων to the Latin alphabet is actually Alkiméthon. The problem here is that Greek has two entirely different letters for the two ¨th¨ sounds, whereas English doesn´t. Some transliterate δ as ¨dh¨, as a solution of sorts. This would turn it into ¨Alkimédhon¨.
But because there are so many problems, there are no established rules. I believe the transliteration that should prevail now is the one that follows as accurately as possible the living pronunciation. Pre-hellenistic pronunciations are just theories after all.
So how I would transliterate is:
β as v (not b)
γ as gh (not g) before the consonants and the vowels α, ο, ω, ου and as y before the vowels ε, αι, η, ι, ει, οι, υι
δ as th or dh (not d)
η, ι, υ, ει, οι all as i
θ as th
κ as k
ξ as x or ks (not gz)
σ, ς as s or even as ss in the middle of a word because it is a little more “snaky” than the English s
φ as f or ph
χ as h or kh. Maybe that's how it should be written even before another consonant (i.e χρόνος - hrónos or khrónos as the more popular ¨chronos¨ is often mispronounced as kronos)
ψ as ps, but remember that both consonants are voiced unlike in English where the p is silent.
ω as o
αι as e since this has been the pronunciation for so long
ου as u or ou although I visually don't like the latter. Some use the oo which is not all that wrong but it looks utterly horrendous.
γγ, γκ as ng in the middle of the word, as g in the beginning or if it appears more than once in the word.
μπ as mb in the middle of the word, as b in the beginning or if it appears more than once in the word.
ντ as nd in the middle of the word, as d in the beginning or if it appears more than once in the word.
τζ as tz and not j, as it is a thinner sound.
τσ as ts and not ch, as it is a thinner sound.
This is more or less the transliteration that lately is used for Modern Greek. Those chaotic differences are the reason a Greek woman might tell somebody her name is Thanái and they won't realise she's telling them her name is Danae. XD
Now even though this is more correct I acknoweldge that visually the inaccurate transliteration is often more aesthetically pleasing or maybe it's because we are used to it. Take as example the verb for "skin, peel" :
γδέρνω is gderno in the usual transliteration but it is ghthérno in the more accurate one. The funny thing is that ghthérno looks terribly ugly but it sounds far more delicate and pretty when spoken than the inaccurate but better looking gderno XD
It's a mess what can I say. I have sometimes received some mild criticism for retaining the latin version of Greek words i.e I write Ευρυδίκη as Eurydice instead of the more accurate Evrithiki. Just for visual aesthetics. Honestly Evrithíki sounds nice when you say it but it looks so ugly in latin characters ffs I am so sad about this XD.
The latest example is that I wrote "Andronicus Palaeologus" even though I should have written "Anthronikos Paleologhos". And yet I believe that the latter sounds better than the former. Still, even if it's visually better, Idk, I think we should opt for accuracy especially in more "official", serious circumstances. Unless it looks much uglier and pronunciation doesn't matter in a certain situation so in this case we can show some understanding :P
Alkimethon though looks fairly good IMO

i saw a post earlier today about how the meaning of “ship” in fandom has shifted over time, from previously meaning “this is a dynamic i am interested in exploring in fanon” to becoming “this is a relationship i need to become canon.” (readmore because i don’t really want this post to gain traction, just want to see what my friends/mutuals/followers think about this since i’m open to hearing different perspectives on this)
part of me wonders if the shift in question is partially responsible for a huge portion of modern fandom d*sc*urse, because we have two generations of fans using the same word very differently: one meaning that it’s your “one true pairing” and need to get the creators of the work to canonize it and show their support for it, and another not necessarily meaning you believe in it or support it or even like it, but are intrigued by what other people have to say about it.
i generally think there’s some romantic or sexual dynamics between that are... kind of weird for you to be overly explored, like if you’re writing smut of underage characters from bluey please please please stay away from me. but there is a difference between saying, “i think it would be interesting to see what other people have to say about this” and treating relationships between fictional characters as like, some sort of fanatical religion, that by being interested in it you see no issue with any aspect of it, that you are genuinely attracted to all aspects of it, and that you need other people to “convert” to your ship and support it too (and what better way of getting people to do that than the creators making it canon).
like, let’s take krisnix for example. i don’t want them to be endgame. that relationship would be toxic and disgusting and miserable (and miles is LITERALLY RIGHT THERE) and i don’t want to see phoenix living with the man who ruined him for the rest of his life. but i think saying they never had sex even once during the 7 year gap is also... just factually incorrect lol. i think the idea of hating someone so much you have to have sex about it, like fucking bonobos, is worth exploring in fiction, i think the idea of them fucking to get “closer” to each other to get more intel is so spy movie, and also i’m Very Fucking Nosy and want to know if it was completely impersonal, treated like a business deal, and done only under the harsh fluorescent lighting of an office bathroom (which is kind of a fetish in itself), or did they have their own idiosyncrasies and sexual quirks that were employed consistently and intentionally? and these aren’t questions i really have the answer to, so i look to other people’s interpretations to see what they have to say.
again, there’s no interest here in the two as a romantic couple. there’s no desire to see anything happening here long term. but i’m an adult, they’re both adults, and adults do stupid things sometimes for kind of crummy reasons. and saying that matter-of-factly is very different from saying, “ah, yes, this is a good thing that should continue for the rest of eternity, because i believe this is fundamentally good.”
on the other hand, you have s*f*kuras (censored because i don’t want them finding this), some of whom are just like “i see a lot of myself in cl*ud and i think seph*r*th is hot and i want to fuck him.” i don’t really have the energy to unpack that/don’t care enough to form an opinion on that because i have like, actual responsibilities in real life. i’m also not gonna sit here and pretend s*ph*roth isn’t hot.
there is an obvious canonical power disparity between s*ph*roth and cl*ud that makes me... generally uninterested in, if not outright opposed to, the pairing. but i’ve seen people shift that dynamic in new ways, and create differences in perceived power that (or, at least, weren’t initially, before basically backtracking on that and making shit gross again) aren’t necessarily bad: perhaps cl*ud is a newbie in a leather club, and s*ph*roth is a long-time member who shows him the ropes (no pun intended). there are going to be newbies in leather clubs, and there are going to be longtime members, and they are going to have sex—this is a difference in experience that could actually be healthy, because a veteran who knows what they’re doing, who knows the safety rules, who knows how to be responsible, is better than some middling member who maybe doesn’t have everything down potentially mistreating the new guy.
but the thing is, the majority of stuff i’ve seen between the two (because i am, in fact, a hater and a hate-reader, and a pretty salty person overall) is... not that. it gets weirdly defensive about how their canon power difference isn’t actually all that bad (it is), how cl*ud is a consenting adult and can do whatever he wants (he wasn’t when they first met), how other ships can be equally as toxic (if we’re aiming for canon-compliance, they really can’t), how everyone else is just interpreting their relationship wrong and oh my god why can’t everyone just fucking agree with the author for once (because—and hear me out—the author’s entire premise is wrong). there are a few s*f*kura fics wherein z*ck realizes, “hey, this is kind of weird, actually, maybe we should get you out.” and he’s right lol but it always turns into this weird thing where like, z*ck becomes the actual manipulator for playing the “he’s x amount of years older than you” or whatever other card because he wanted cl*ud all to himself, and blah blah blah. like are we for fucking real. and it just feels like such a dig at z*kkuras, of all things, like why are you getting so defensive about this. if it’s “just fiction,” as you say, then why is someone disagreeing with you and saying “i don’t want to read that kind of story” such a threat.
and that’s where i have a problem, is when the “ship and let ship” crowd, of all people, gets so moralistic about it. like if you really were just playing with a dynamic and treating characters like moldable putty, and not treating it as “i’m right, i’m right, i’m right and this is Good and everyone else should Like It and Support Me” it’s kind of hard for me to believe you don’t actually support the things you’re portraying in your work and seek out in others. if you don’t actually support the things you’re portraying, why are you treating an unhealthy ship like it has to be endgame and you will destroy anyone who gets in your way. like... dude. do you hear yourself right now
i guess part of me wonders, if people see shipping d*sc*urse and are members of the former category could potentially mistakenly be aligning themselves with the latter category, because they don’t realize the word “ship” as a verb has shifted in meaning. do people see folks in the first category and lump them in with the latter because they’re young and that’s the only context they’re used to seeing the word used in. are people aligning and misaligning themselves in this debate all because we’re using two very different definitions of the word that lies at the center of this d*sc*urse.

White Ribbon Honorees
Characters who:
i. I have some interest in who fit my usual types/criteria; and/or
ii. are f/os but receive less focus than the bronze tier; and ultimately
iii. I'm sitting on them like a hen sits on eggs: to keep them warm and display they're mine
*f/os who are not easily google-able will have a picture included in their entry
Izou (recommended to me by Toto. he does have similarities to other f/os that make him a natural choice! Marking him mine if I want to play in the One Piece space)
Kalec (recommended to me by Adri. my feelings on him were-- from go!--that he IS pretty! I DO like dragons! I've reblogged art of him before but just haven't thought hard about a ship. he's absolutely one of the "sitting on him like a hen sits on eggs bc they're hers" white-ribbon fellas)
Burnt Cheese Cookie (recommended to me by Zach. I first heard of him as 'wow he's like Cyno' because they're both Anubis-inspired, and he IS; that's why Zach recommended him XD. I can't deny I have made eyes at him before.)
Palamedes Sextus (recommended to me by my sister. he just seems to tick a lot of boxes for me, because I'm very predictable!)
Johnny Boya (I never finished building the ship, and as my passion for the source material cooled off a little he slipped here to the minor leagues. Kind of an AU of the other 'verse, if Biela had rejected the offer from Team Speed Master)
Howl Jenkins Pendragon (he's essentially an f/o. I have an insert for him! Her name is Charlotte. In my mind, for this ship, he'd have a little polycule of housekeepers, because it IS a nice fantasy for me to keep on the back burner. I haven't done much more than that, though. Tag TBA just in case I ever blorbopost about him here.)
Sonora and Gatineau (these two are OC f/os. They're Concubi, from the same time as when I created one for Dae. I don't have references for their appearances, and I haven't yet found a way to turn the Vibes(TM) in my mind into transmissible ideas for an artist. But I do think about them from time to time!)
Aulus mal Asina (I thought about and meant to ship with Aulus pretty much since I saw him in Stormblood, and I just never got the ship off the ground. I don't have much for the ship, though I do have some vague ideas about him and XIV!Coventina I'd love to discuss with someone if they were to ask. His tag that I unfortunately never used is Heartjack.)
Hancock Fitzgerald (also shipped with XIV!Coventina, but by the time I realized I wanted to create the ship, it was too late, so I only have partial ideas. But he's surprisingly good-looking, and it's funny how good of a guy he is for how scummy he constantly comes off. So not all hope is lost! Theoretically, his tag was The Ruby Set but I'm still not crazy about it so I may try to come up with a better one.)
Aymeric de Borel (They practically wrote him out of the fucking game anyway. What a wonderful five real-life years we had though. Tag is Aytien.)
Estinien (Wyrmblood) Varlineau (I don't even know what to say. Can't trust Square Enix with anything. Tag is still estinyan.)
Yugiri Mistwalker (She's beautiful in my memories c: Tag is etigiri.)
Erenville (Nothing about the ship changed. His tag is lag(amor)ph.)
Ragnar Foixewesfv (also an oc! he's Potentilla's best friend and they were FWBs for a while before Erenville came into Potentilla's life. I need to talk about him more, especially now that I'm going rogue from XIV and Squeenix did All That Bullshit for the 20th time. Please ask about Ragnar.)
Barok Von Zieks (I already liked Ace Attorney. they said 'Robert Vernon voices this guy' and I looked into it--this works on me very often (see Aulus mal Asina). he growls out that "objection" ...all I'm saying is I DON'T object c; If the prosecution would like to strip-search me, he may. you may have seen the erotic art of him I reblogged to one of my blogs.)
Keith [Marshall] (this is such a long story for how nothing it is these days, but basically: Ellis from L4D2 has that friend Keith he's always telling stories about, right? So when Jack from Parle Productions started doing videos AS Ellis' buddy Keith I liked that a lot and I made Cricket McGill to ship with him and then I made her a Back 4 Blood OC too based on the "Keith is Holly's Brother" AU this one artist Nijukoo drew, which I did talk about once and never mentioned a second time XD. I have the art in my drafts if anyone wants to see it)
Natasha (would you believe me if I said I got the Star Rail ad that featured her so often I decided I didn't want to ship with her anymore? BUT when I did start playing Star Rail I did find that I have a fondness for her still. Not a desire to be close platonic friends, not a romantic attraction. Just yayyy I like her.)
Lucifer Morningstar (I already had a Hellaverse s/i, might as well do this. I like short kings, blonds, dads, and men in charge of something. Why The Hell Not.)
Rauru (among other things, I don't want to make another botw/aoc/totk-era insert XD. So I'm just Looking at him and recognizing probably some of it is conditioning from Ayato and how lonely the sky islands are at the start of totk XD)
Yona (see my s/i page for why she's here c:)
This page is/will likely be a constant work in progress. Last updated 4/3/24.

Found a Beta Reader
Hi everyone! I found a Beta.
I'm leaving this post here incase people liked it in order to READ the finished fic, rather than Beta it.
Once the fanfiction is out, I will remove the post.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't usually get my fanfictions checked by a Beta reader, but I am writing a LONG multi-chapter Phineas and Ferb fanfic (rounding up to 40k cause it's almost finished) and I would like to make sure it's a good/well edited fic.
Basics: It's the "Perry get's turned human" troupe, but I'm hoping it's still original enough. PAIRING: Perry/Heinz. Nothing romantic occurs when Perry is a platypus. Slow Burn. Any other ships in this fic will be extremely minor.
THIS WILL BE RATED EITHER T OR M : There won't be any sexual content, this is a slow burn, but there will be: violence, sexual harassment (<- might classify as assault, I'm not sure. Either way it's a minor level of this offense.), Panic attacks, hostage situations and a few other minor things. The fic also mentions Heinz's canon: neglect, abandonment, and abuse. Regardless of all the above, this fic is supposed to be fluffy XD.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Heinz’s insecurities get the best of him on a lonely night. He builds an -inator to help his communication with Perry, but things don't go as planned.
Perry fights to get back to his family while Heinz fights to keep Perry in his.
The situation makes the nemeses question what they wanted in the first place.

*bursts through your wall* VALTIEL!! THE HORNED KING!!! For the character ask. Pwease <3c ~ avid-adoxography
Send me a character and I'll list:
Valtiel
Favorite thing about them: The fact that he exists as an actual guardian angel to Cheryl? Granted the canon doesn't do much with this and in canon he probably doesn't actually care about her but I don't care, "Girl and her weird pet monster" is like my favorite friendship dynamic
Least favorite thing about them: How we just know so little about him and how he never appeared in another Silent Gill game outside of that weird dungeon-crawling spinoff, Book of Memories. And there he had no story significance, he just gave you missions. Pyramid Head is cool and all but PLEASE can we get some Valtiel content. He's the one that actually makes sense to see again since unlike PH he's not tied to one specific person's mind! But granted, I really want to see him be pals with Cheryl and they definitely won't do that since it wouldn't be scary.
Favorite line: He doesn't talk outside of giving you missions in Book of Memories. I like the noises you can hear him make in the cutscene where he retrieves dead Cheryl though. He's a snarly hissy boy
brOTP: CHERYL! I love the idea of him being all protective and friendly with her. And her helping him when he's banished because he gets hurt pretty bad...
OTP: I don't really know honestly. He's not a character I tend to ship romantically. I've seen stuff of him and Pyramid Head which was SPICY but idk if I like them romantically together
nOTP: I don't really like the romantic ship with Cheryl but it doesn't repulse me enough to call it a nOTP
Random headcanon: uh...he can walk normally he just prefers crawling
Unpopular opinion: I guess just that I don't ship him with Cheryl? Most of his fans seem to
Song I associate with them: Almost Human ~ Aurelio Voltaire
Favorite picture of them: Uh...IDK honestly
The Horned King
Favorite thing about them: Ugh, EVERYTHING. But I'll settle on his voice. John Hurt did such a good performance.
Least favorite thing about them: How little Disney actually acknowledges him. And that the only attraction that ever featured him is closed forever. One of the things I'd do if time travel were possible: Visit the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour. One of the things I'd do if I were filthy rich: Buy whatever's left of his animatronic and have it restored for my own collection (or have a new one built if there's nothing left)
Favorite line: He doesn't have a bad line but I love the way he taunts the protagonists after capturing them. He's being sarcastic but the way he says it it doesn't even sound cocky, just cold. Shivers.
brOTP: I currently have him as besties with the other necromancers I've f/o'd -- Demongo and Licorice Cookie. For just Disney villains, I like the idea of him being reluctant pals with Madam Mim who just playfully annoys him. And I feel like he could lament over being a criminally underrated Disney villain with NOS-4-A2.
OTP: ME. ok but besides my selfship, Maleficent. I just...think they're cool together.
nOTP: I don't really have any ships that I really hate with him
Random headcanon: The gwythaints are like pets to him and they're descendants of the ones Arawn used to torment into obedience. They're one of the only living things he's kind to.
Unpopular opinion: Uh...IDK. Honestly at this point I think just liking him as a villain is an unpopular opinion because a lot of people either don't even know about him or think he's nothing special. In that case maybe my unpopular opinion is that I actually really like the movie he's from and would love to see it attempted again (preferably still animated but I would settle for a live-action adaptation as long as it uses good practical effects everywhere it can.)
Song I associate with them: I have a whole playlist but my go to song is Hail To The King ~ Avenged Sevenfold.
Favorite picture of them: I don't know if I still have it but that one where he sees the Cauldron-Born starting to die off again and he just looks DISTRAUGHT.

Smash Ultimate Mansion Rooms and Who Stays with Who (Part 1)
Mario Heroes: Mario, Luigi, and their pet Chain Chomp (Assist Trophy) all share a room. Yoshi, DK, and the Princesses sometimes visit them. Peach and Daisy each share a room and Peach is surprisingly just as rowdy as Daisy, but only when those two are in the same room. Rosalina sometimes visits them, but usually stays in her own room with an openable roof at nights (only when clear) with hundreds, and I mean HUNDREDS, of Lumas staying with her. She sometimes brings Kirby with her. Mario also has his own office next door where he uses his Ph. D he "supposedly" obtained and there, he is Dr. Mario. We'll get to the villains for not just Mario, but every villainous character (excluding Wario who's ambiguous, K. Rool since the Banjo trailer revealed where he lives now, and both Dedede and Meta Knight who are legitimate heroes) later on.
Rareware Characters: DK and Diddy share a room with K. Rool (as shown in the Banjo trailer). As one can guess, they often scuffle over who can eat the most bananas in one sitting. Banjo and Kazooie also with them and have already apologized to K. Rool for giving him the Gruntilda treatment (again, as shown in Banjo's trailer). K. Rool has also moved in a subsidary of his Kremling Army, and by that I mean he has a lot of Klaptraps there too. Watch your step.
Zelda Heroes: All three Links share one room. Wild Link often trains both Young and Toon Link in the art of the blade, though it seems as if Young Link is actually much more skilled at it than him (cough cough Hero's Shade reference). Midna also stays there with them, being the late night partier of the room. She also sometimes pranks Wild by bringing Sidon, his husband (yes I ship Sidon and BotW Link thank you for asking), into the room. Wild then has to explain everything about how he and Sidon became an item. Skull Kid tries to occassionally visit them and pull a prank, but Young Link just uses Song of Time and removes it, much to his dismay. He lives on the Moon with Majora's Mask. Being two different Zeldas entirely, LBW Zelda and OoT Sheik share a room. Naturally, Sheik is much more quiet and reserved compared to the much more energetic Zelda. He (I'm using he/him pronouns for Sheik since the point of the disguise was to pretend to be a boy and avoid capture) sometimes reveals himself to be Zelda, but not very often. He also sometimes tests his stealth against Snake, but both are usually found by Lucario first.
Metroid and F-Zero Series': Due to both being bounty hunters, Samus, usually outside her Power Suit, and Captain Falcon share a room. The Metroid also stays there as a pet and adopted child of Samus (since I headcanon its the Baby Metroid from Super Metroid). Falcon is creeped out by it sometimes, but Samus assures him it won't hurt anyone not named Ridley or Mother Brain.
Yoshi: Yoshi and all of his alternate colors, each being their own Yoshi, all share a room together. It has a pop-up book aesthetic and they sometimes visit Mario or Peach. All of them also call Luigi their, "Mama." (Insert Mama Luigi joke here)
Kirby Series: All of the Kirby cast (so Kirby, Dedede, and Meta Knight out of the playable characters, Chef Kawasaki and Knuckle Joe as Assist Trophies, an army of Gordos that Dedede throws, and Marx as a boss) share a room and are good friends since the events of Star Allies. Stafy also stays with them, visiting his and Kirby's adopted mothers in Rosalina and Bayonetta.
Star Fox Series: Despite his initial backlash against the idea, seeing how chaotic the other villains were made Wolf choose to share a room with Fox and Falco. His relationship with Falco is one of mutual disdain, but he and Fox have a respectful rivalry (see Star Fox Assault for the example). Krystal also stays in this room and is good friends with both Fox and Wolf and is the mediator between Falco and Wolf.
Pokémon: Red and Leaf share a room together with all of the playable, Pokéball/Master Ball, and background (example: Hydreigon [my beloved] on the Kalos Pokémon League stage) Pokémon except for Mewtwo. Mewtwo has his own room where he mostly just meditates and waits for the next battle he has to partake in, only accepting visits from Red's Charizard and Pichu.
Mother Series: Ness, Lucas, Dr. Wright, Jeff, and a Mii constantly dressed as Sans all share a room. Everyone comforts Lucas and encourages him when he has his occasional traumatic breakdown. We'll cover Starman at a later date.
Part 2 coming soon.

Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: America/South Korea (Hetalia)
Characters: America (Hetalia), South Korea (Hetalia)
Additional Tags: Hand Jobs, musings on the nature of nations, america likes science!! argue with the wall!!, look yall i just have a lot of america feels, History, Politics, Established Yet Developing Relationship, country names used
Korea is surprised when America asks him if he can fly into Philadelphia rather than LAX or New York City. Korea doesn’t ever really think about cities in America other than LA or New York in general, but he books the flight anyway, palms sweating. The flight requires a stop-over in Georgia (the state, he reminds himself, not the country), and then up a few more hours to Philadelphia. The name sounds pretty to his ear—five syllables, with those ph’s forming an f because English makes no sense. Korea’s told America this several times, but he laughs each time and agrees. Then winks and adds, why do you think I stole so many words from Spain and France? America’s also showed him words that are Native American (Susquehanna, he says as they drive over the river on their way out of the city, and down that’a way’s Delaware.)

Also, If You Dislike Fics That Involves Peoples Made Up Characters (OCs), Then You Are Welcome To Leave The Fic.
--------------------------------------------------
Roxannie Woke Up To Her Alarm Clock And Quickly Got Dressed, Heading Downstairs To Get Breakfast. Her Mother Greeted Her With A “Good Morning” And A Warm Smile. Roxannie Sat At The Table, Greeting Her Father. She Took One Bite Of Her Cereal Until The Table Was Knocked Over. With A Frightened Look, She Looked At Her Father And Screamed. His Head Was Chopped Clean Off With His Chest Wide Open, Revealing That His Internal Organs Were Tampered With. She Was About To Cry Until She Heard Her Mother Scream.
Instead Of Staying At The Table, She Ran To The Room Her Mother Was In. As Soon As Roxannie Stepped Foot In The Living Room, She Was Met With A Horrifying Sight.Her Mother Was Brutally Cut In Half With Her Face Missing From Her Head. The Top Half Of Her Body Hung From The Ceiling By A Sword Which Impaled Her. The Bottom Half Of Her Body Was On The Floor, In A Pile With Her Internal Organs. Annie Almost Gagged At The Sight, Until She Saw The Man Who Had Caused Her Parent’s Deaths. A Tall Dark Figure With Red Eyes Approached Her With A Hammer. It Grabbed Her Firmly By The Neck And Bashed Her Head Twice, Revealing Her Brain.
It Left Her On The Ground Struggling To Stay Alive, Leaving Only A Tablet Behind. Rox Used It To Contact For Help, But Could Barely Stay Conscious Due To Her Brain Being Exposed. Luckily, There Was A Fast Response. The Mysterious Person Was Immediately Able To Track Her Location And Tell Her To Stay Where She Is. She Agreed And Just Laid In Front Of The Tablet, Trying Not To Lose Consciousness. About 45 Minutes Had Passed So Far, And She Was Starting To Feel Her Eyelids Get Heavy.
A Man Rushed In And Immediately Injected Her With Some Type Of Medicine. She Immediately Struggled To Stand Up, Before Being Forced To Sit Down. Her Head Was Bandaged Properly Before She Was Helped Up. She Didn’t Even Get A Chance To Thank The Strange Man Because He Immediately Rushed Her Out Of The House And Into His Vehicle. The Whole Car Ride Was Quiet Except For Roxannie’s Cries, Mourning The Death Of Her Parents.
She Couldn’t Even Form Sentences Or Explain To The Man That Saved Her What Happened Because Of How Upset She Was. He Felt Bad For Her, Trying To Give Her Anything She Could Keep Her Mind Busy With Until They Got To The Place. She Didn’t Really Want Anything Though, Other Than To Let Out What She Was Experiencing Now. Once They Arrived To Their Destination, She Was Immediately Brought Into A Lab Where A Bunch Of Scientists Were Working. The Man Led Her Into A Room Where A Small Chubby Man Chatted With A Tall, Stern Looking Guy.
Dr. ??: “Hofnarr, Christoff. I Uh….Got The Child.”
The Two Men Looked Over And Immediately Rushed To Roxannie. They Hugged Her And Did Their Best To Comfort Her In Any Way Possible In That Moment.
Dr. Christoff: “Thank You, Crackpot. We’ll Let You Know If We Need Anything Else.”
Crackpot Nodded And Left The Room, Leaving The 3 Alone As Christoff Shut The Door. Hofnarr Tried To Calm Her Down And Talk With Her. It Was Very Hard To Understand The Girl Through Her Crying And Incoherent Words, Even For Him. Hofnarr Just Held Her Close And Consulted Her, Doing His Best To Calm Her Down. Christoff Sat Down Next To The Two And Offered Rox With A Glass Of Water. She Took The Water And Drank Half Of The Glass, Keeping The Drink In Her Hand While The Two Older Men Did Their Best To Help Her Relax.
Once She Was Calm Enough, They Finally Got Her To Explain What Had Happened. She Told Them Every Detail From This Morning, Keeping It Short And Sweet At The End. Hofnarr And Christoff Frowned, Hugging And Comforting Her Again. It Was Very Hard For Someone To Go Through All That Trauma, Especially For Someone At Her Age. Hell, The Kid Was Only 14. She Barely Knew How To Even React Or See Something Like That. She Needed A Lot Of Therapy To Get Past That Traumatic Event.
Hofnarr: “Hey Christoff. Do You Think Phobos Will Let Us Keep Her Here With Us?”
Christoff: “Maybe, With A Lot Of Bribing.”
Roxannie: “F-Forgive Me For I-Interrputing Your C-Conversation...But Wh-Who’s Ph-Phobos?”
Hofnarr: “Oh! Don’t Worry, You Aren’t Interrupting Anything. And Phobos Is Our Boss. We Need All Permission From Him To Do Anything Around Here.”
Christoff: “Kinda Sucky, But We’re Even Lucky If He’s In A Good Enough Mood To Pay Us.”
They Chat For A Bit Before Heading To Phobos’ Office, Staying Together The Whole Trip. Once They Reached Their Destination, They All Greeted Phobos Before Saying Anything About Roxannie. Phobos Obviously Had To Ask First And The Two Scientists Explained The Whole Situation. Phobos Took A Minute To Think Before Accepting Their Request To Allow Her To Stay. Ending It With “I Don’t Care How, But As Long As She’s Not A Big Distraction To You Two And Works With What She Can.” Of Course They All Had To Agree To That.
They All Headed Out The Door And Back To The Breakroom. Hofnarr Figured She Was Still Hungry And Offered To Make Her A Snack And A Drink. Christoff Just Offered Her To Stay With Them So She Has A Place To Sleep And Stay Instead Of The Lab. Rox Agreed To Both And Walked With The Two Men. On The Way Back To The Lab, Hofnarr Was Smiling, Gently Gripping Onto Rox’s Hand. Christoff Took Notice Of This And Chuckled. He Watched His Husband For A While. It Was Only Now When He Asked About His Sudden Cheery Mood.
Christoff: “What’s Got You All Giddy, Hoffy?”
Hofnarr: “We Have A Child Of Our Own Christoff! Aren’t You Excited To Be A Parent?”
Christoff Just Smiled As Hofnarr Went On About The Wonders Of Raising A Child Of Their Own. He Goes On Fantasies About Vacation, Family Outings, Family Dinners And Other Things. Roxannie Gripped Her New Parent’s Hands Gently, Smiling Softly. She Was Going To Start A New Family And These Were Her New Parents. She Didn’t Mind That, She Loved Supporting People Who Were In Relationships With The Same Gender.
---------------------------------------------
A Few Years Later…
---------------------------------------------
Hofnarr: “Rox, You Ready?”
Roxannie: “Yeah I’m Coming!”
She Placed Her Bandana On And Adjusted It To Be Over Her Bandages, Flattening Out Her Lab Coat. She Turned The Light Off In The Bathroom And Headed Downstairs To The Door, Greeting Her Two Dads As They Hugged Her. They Headed Towards The Lab While Hofnarr Was Going On About How Lucky They Were To Be A Family. Christoff Occasionally Threw In A Few Things, Chuckling At Hofnarr’s Responses.
Once They Got To The Labs, Everything Seemed Normal Except For A Few Stressed Out Scientists. The Shaking Scientists Greeted The 3 And Gave Them Information To Keep Safe. Hofnarr Took Roxannie With Him As He Usually Does For The Morning. Christoff Set Out To His Office, Looking Around At The Messed Up Experiments. He Scoffed At The Thought Of Phobos Actually Trying To Be Successful With This….Project. Christoff And Hofnarr Agreed That This Whole “Project Nexus” Thingy Would Not Be On For Long. Someone Would Definitely Stop Him, Even If It Had To Be One Of Them.
Not Even A Minute Later, Hofnarr Had A Worried Look On His Face As The Sound Of Gunshots Could Be Heard From The Other Lab. Rox Stayed Close To Hofnarr Just In Case Anything Happened. They Kept Hearing Gunshots From The Other Lab, Not Knowing What On Earth Was Going Down. Hofnarr Was Upset, What Was Happening To His Husband? Was He Ok? Was He Hurt? He Held Onto Rox As He Tried Not To Cry About The Thoughts That Were Running Through His Mind.
Hofnarr: “I Hope Christoff Is Ok. I Don’t Want To Lose Him Like We Almost Lost You.”
Roxannie: “I-I’m Sure He’ll Be Ok, Dad. And Hey, If I’m Still Here, He’ll Still Be Here.” *She Hugged Him Close. Hofnarr Gave Her A Soft Yet Sad Smile.*
Hofnarr: “I Sure Hope So.”
They Waited About 30 Minutes To Half An Hour Until Someone Entered The Room. As The Two Turned Around, Hofnarr Rushed To Hug The Man. It Was Christoff, And Thankfully He Wasn’t Injured That Badly As He Though. Christoff Went Over To Rox And Hugged Her, Handing Her A Gun As He Also Gave Hofnarr A Gun. He Wanted To Keep His Family Safe While This Whole Messed Up Thing Was Happening.
Hofnarr: “You’ve Made Quite A Mess Christoff.”
Christoff: “They’ve Gone Too Far. If We Don’t Stop This Now...”
A Few Agents Entered The Room, And Christoff Killed Them With The Help Of His Husband And Daughter. Hofnarr Sweated And Gulped, Keeping Roxannie Close To Him.
Hofnarr: “I See We Have No Other Choice…”
They Murdered The Agents Who Kept Coming And Headed Out. Hofnarr Unlocked All The Control Panels As The Continued Through The Lab, Killing Any Agents, Zombies Or Any Failed Experiments. It Took A While Until They Got The Whole Place Cleared But They Were Able To Do It Without Much Harm Going To Them. They Got To The Last Room With The Control Panel And Hofnarr Started Getting Worried. He Looked At Christoff While They Got Rid Of The Last Few Agents With Rox Guarding The Door.
Hofnarr: “Ya Know Phobos Will Finish Us For This.”
Christoff Looked At Hofnarr After Shooting The Last Agent, Ending The Life Of The Betrayer.
Christoff: “Phobos Better Watch His Back..”
Hofnarr Unlocked The Last Control Panel And Looked Around The Room. He Started Heading Out After Christoff And Roxannie, Staying Close To Them While They Walked. Eventually Hofnarr Took The Lead Of The Group To Make Sure That The Other Two Were Safe. He Opened The Door Outside For Them Both, And Closed It After They Were Far Ahead Of Hofnarr. He Followed Them And Took The Lead After A Few Minutes. He Then Looked At Christoff As They Approached Phobos’ Tower.
Hofnarr: “Everything Depends On You Now.” *He Used His Key Card To Unlock The Door And Let Christoff In, Keeping Roxannie Back* “Good Luck, Old Friend..”
They Watched Christoff Walk Into The Tower, And Headed Back To The Lab. Hofnarr Kept His Daughter Close To Him, Trying To Keep Her From Breaking Down Like How She Was When They First Met. They Knew Christoff Was Only Doing This For Their Own Good, And To Stop This Whole Thing From Ruining Nevada Even More. They Walked Into The Lab And Immediately Went To The Breakroom, Setting Their Weapons Down By The Table When They Got There.
They Got Some Food And Drinks While They Chatted, Sitting Down So They Wouldn’t Fall If One Was Upset Or Panicked. They Chatted About Christoff And How….Cold He Looked When He Walked Into Hofnarr’s Lab. Rox Was Scared By His Look, As It Was Her First Time Seeing Him Like That. Hofnarr Had Already Known This Look So He Was Pretty Used To It.
They Kept The Conversation Going By Talking About Other Stuff Like Work, Family Life, Dinners, And Especially That One Dinner Night. That Was The First Time Rox Had Seen Hofnarr Angry, And Not A Playful Or Slightly Irritated Angry. It Wasn’t His Fault They Were Banned From That Restaurant Though. The Boy Walked Up To Rox And Went “Tsk. You Wanna Be Trans? That’s Gross. You’re A Girl And You Will Always Be A Girl.” Hofnarr Was Just Defending His Daughter...By Attacking The Boy With A Chair.
They Were At The Lab For About An Hour To An Hour And A Half Just Chatting And Wandering Around. After A Bit, They Headed Outside And Met Up With Christoff Again.The Only Difference About Him Was That He Was Wearing The Key Fragment On His Head. Jeb Greeted The Two And Lead Them Back Inside The Lab. This Was Going To Be A Strange Experience For All Of Them.
-------------------------------------------
A Few More Long Years Later…
-------------------------------------------
Sanford And Deimos Turn The Corner, Shooting The Agents That Tried Approaching Them. The Two Headed Into The Room And Killed All The Agents In Sight. Then They Saw Her….Roxannie On The Floor Unconscious. They Both Inspected Her Body And Picked Her Up, Keeping Her With Them. They Finished With Their Mission And Brought Her Back To Base. The Brought Her To Hank And 2B Where They Inspected Her Body.
After She Woke Up, She Made A Request To The Doctor. She Wanted To Be A Man. The Doctor Hesitated Before Agreeing, Putting Her Under Anesthesia. He Waited A Few Minutes Before Finally Getting To Work. He Wrapped Him Up And Successfully Did Both Top And Bottom Surgery. Doc Finished With Replacing The Bandage On His Head, Cleaning The Wound Before Putting Anything On There.
After That, Doc Gave Rockwell Medicine To Help With The Pain. He Helped Rocky Walk And Get Used To Using The Bathroom. After That, Doc Gave Rockwell Some Clothes To Wear: A White Shirt With Ripped Sleeves, A Black Vest. A Belt To Go Over His Chest, Black Pants And Another Belt To Keep Them Up, Black Boots, Goggles With One Side Red And The Other Black And A Gas Mask. He Also Put His Hair Into A PonyTail.
Rockwell Put Everything On And Headed Outside, Ordered By Hank, To Fight The Clown. Rocky Took A Look At The Clown And…….Wait….That Lab Coat Looks So Familiar…..Was It..No It Couldn’t Be….HOFNARR?! But..He Looked Way Different Than Before.
Tricky: “WHO ARE YOU?! NEVERMIND THAT- CLOWN KILLS YOU!!”
Rockwell: “No Wait-!”
Tricky Whacked Rocky Pretty Hard In The Face, His Gas Mask Had To Be Removed. After Rockwell Removed His Goggles, Tricky Gasped And Dropped His Stop Sign..He Looked Like He Wanted To Cry.
Tricky: “Ro-Roxannie…?”
Rockwell, Holding His Jaw In Place: “It’th Rockwell Now, D-Dad.”
Tricky Immediately Hugged His Child, Healing His Jaw And Forming A Metal Plate Over The Injury. Rockwell Hugged Tricky Back, Both Squeezing The Shit Out Of Each Other. Tricky Kept His Son Close, Until They Heard Footsteps Approach From Behind Rockwell. It Was Jeb….Well...Christoff But He Didn’t Look That Different.
Jebus: “Tricky, What Are You Doing?! He’s On Hank’s Side!” *He Took Out His Binary Sword, And Swung It Up*
Tricky Backed Away And Ran To Jeb, Trying To Stop Him.
Tricky: “JEB NO HURT HIM!! GUY IS-”
It Was Too Late. Jeb Swung And Cut Rockwell Almost In Half.
Tricky: “Roxannie-”
Jeb Looked Frightened. Oh God, What Had He Done? He Removed His Sword And Watched Rockwell’s Limp Body Fall To The Ground. The Savior Broke Out In Tears. He Just Murdered His Own Child, Or He Thought He Did. He Was Relieved When He Heard Rockwell. He Was Still Alive! How? That Didn’t Matter, He Was Just Happy His Son Was Alive Still.
Jeb Rushed Over To Rockwell And Healed Him, Summoning Bandages And Wrapping Him Up. He Was Still Crying From What He Had Done. Tricky Joined Them Both, Starting A Group Hug With All Of Them As They Reunited. Sanford, Deimos, Hank And 2B Rushed Out As Tricky Helped Rockwell Up And Jeb Healed Him Again.
Sanford: “Oh Cool, So I Guess We Can Call A Truce.”
Deimos And 2B Agreed, Hank Didn’t. Wimbleton Didn’t Like The Idea Of Living With His Enemies, Especially If They Act Nice And Turn On Them In The End. Hank Disagreed And Left To Blow Off Some Steam, It Was Gonna Take A Long While To Convince Him. Sanford And Deimos Ended Up Adopting Rockwell While Tricky And Jeb Readopted Him. Rockwell Now Lives With The Crew, With Having 4 Parents Who Support And Care About Him, 2B Who Takes Care Of His Wounds And Trans Stuff, And Hank...

Thank you for being one of the only blogs to talk about rpf 🧡 I like it a lot, but I feel like it’s become taboo to mention it? I don’t post about it because I’m worried people will think I’m weird
LOL JUST DOIN’ MY PART....
TBH!!! sooooo many people feel like you do LOL like, a lot of people enjoy it and know it’s harmless and SO MANY PEOPLE follow my nsfw gd blog (sorry for not answering the asks yet......executive dysfunction....)
1) i don’t care about followers or whatever, i am just here to scream into the void and if people tune in, cool
2) YA it’s become taboo moreso recently because I think fan culture has gotten.....younger? because of people being able to access the internet easier? like back in the day, you used to have to either have a computer or log onto the family computer IF you were allowed, so fandoms skewed older? like at least 15+....now 9 years old all have iphones and can access fan communities etc. which is....terrifying tbh.
BUT! with that, i think especially with l*rry and r*den and ph*n (disregarding if the relationships were real or not) younger people don’t understand boundaries as well and can’t really comprehend the fact that the people they’re reading fic about AREN’T the same people that they’re tweeting/commenting on ig posts of.......i mean they are, but i think it’s pretty much understood that in fic.....none of these things have actually happened. it’s just taking a daydream about a hot celeb and writing it out, or it’s using gerard way’s face + likeness + personality traits gleaned from on stage/interviews and creating a character based on that.
3) ALSO. celebs/musicians/etc. have gotten 1000x more accessible? AGAIN, with ryden.....back in the day it would stay on livejournal or tumblr and ryan and brendon (i know he’s cancelled or w/e but i think ryden is the best example) wouldn’t be exposed to it unless they actively sought it out (except for the crazy fans that would wait for them in airports LOL but that was v few and far between). but then. instagram and twitter became WAY more popular and suddenly fans could access the love of their life any time they wanted!!!! and why not use that access to confirm/get more “lore” about their favorite ship? /s which kinda related to point #2 bc it was mostly young people doing this.
now if you see frank iero MENTION gerard way the twitter replies will be FILLED with “frerard” 😬 and 1) if you do believe they had something (i believe they DID....not currently tho) it obviously wasn’t public, so why not respect their privacy lol. not to mention that it’s in the PAST and we don’t know if it was a painful split (frank was HEARTBROKEN after mcr broke up and would shit talk gerard in interviews lol so) its best to assume it was and NOT bring it up to hurt him more and 2) it affects their real life relationship at this point!
there’s a difference between knowing something is out there and being tagged in it/having it shoved in your face. for the most part, bands have never cared abt ships and actually would tease them a little cos they knew it would “sell” the band better and excite fans and show that they aren’t like......abt to go into a gay panic bc someone thought they were fucking their friend.
THIS IS ANOTHER ESSAY/RANT ENTIRELY, but i think band rpf is a safe and healthy way to explore sexuality + emotions if you are too scared/traumatized/whatever to go out and try everything you ever imagined. especially if you are afab and you want to have sex with men. it’s scary out there!
like. real men might be assholes and take advantage of me and could hurt me. but projecting onto billie and mike is completely safe, especially because i’m so far removed from it. there’s also like....this is fake deep, but whatever....the aspect of exploring Queerness in a safe way? like in fics that aren’t just smut. LIKE 12-17 year old me reading NOTHING but m/m fic with some f/f thrown in there and still thinking i was straight LOL. and it just being....completely normalized for me until i was comfortable enough to admit that i was bisexual to myself? IDK IF Y’ALL KNOW THE COMPARTMENTILIZATION PEOPLE THAT GROW UP IN VAGUELY CONSERVATIVE AREAS WITH NO REPRESENTATION GO THROUGH. i would LITERALLY stare at my friends (who were girls) lips and think about kissing them and just be like....HM! THAT WAS WEIRD! LET’S NEVER ADDRESS THAT INTERNALLY.
you can argue that there’s an aspect of fetishization, but i think the concept of celebrity & stan culture is fetishization in and of itself. like.
Fetishization refers to a process of imbuing an object or idea with power. A fetish object is often associated with sexual gratification, desire, and worship. Fetishization marks a cultural, psychological, and social technique of fetishizing things by making them appear larger than life, animate, or sexually desirable (→ Sexualization in the Media). It is argued that this process has profoundly influenced contemporary consumer culture (Fernbach 2002; Jhally 1987; Schroeder 2002). (x)
like if you even vaguely idolize a celeb/put a celeb on a pedestal or reblog a text post about them........that’s fetishization, babey! you don’t ACTUALLY know them!!!! they’re just.....some guy! billie joe is just.....some guy who’s really good at writing songs. he’s actually kinda ugly but we all find him attractive and go 😍 over his traditionally unattractive features cos he is talented and famous. if he was some dude at your gas station you would NOT be posting abt him on instagram.
but because i love and respect him i think he is beautiful 💖 and the only reason i can “love” someone i don’t know is celeb worship culture.
and the people who compare girls liking m/m fic to LESBIAN PORN. LOL. i think that’s so deeply insidious that, again, it’s another post. ACTUALLY i think i’ve already posted abt it waaaaay back.
omg i’m sorry this turned out so long...

/ / SEND A SYMBOL MEME ; accepting .
@repressedkindness : ✂ - for my muse to rescue yours from danger .
She has this picture in her head to how she's supposed to behave going against actual people — of what type of hero she needed to be . Keeping to the defensive , covering the combat inclined heroes during the exercise, she was more worried about providing c o v e r for others. Mina zipped and slid on her own secretions, seemingly able to cover one side of the field and the other in M O M E N T S.
Though her quirk was far more v e s a t i l e than most people give it credit for being, it's limitations were in its greatest strength. She had to be careful when she adjusted the pH balance of the liquid to the more A C I D I C level that she didn't carelessly toss it at people. She had to be smart about melting what she felt needed to be taken off out of play to make the field fairer for them. If you asked her, it hardly mattered, not when they had certain characters in play all at the same time.
It felt as though more than h a l f of them could be on the sidelines and this whole thing would go just as smoothly as it was now. What an absolute BUMMER. It always felt like this, didn't it? With her broader view of the field, she could see a lot of them just trying to seem useful at a l l in comparison.
Mina felt that — she really did, but she chose to devote her time to keeping those disheartened from slipping up in ways that could lead to easily avoided injuries . Something. Anything. It was better than the alternative. Keeping her focus solely on others was a good way to ensure she left herself a bit too preoccupied, and it was a shock to go from solid ground to Todoroki’s i c e trail. Her knees wobbled dangerously, off-centering her balance enough as to have her slip and slide . Parts of the ice path gave way under her acid in ways that left gaps that easily could have flung her head first into the pavement, and for a moment, she was tipping forward precariously, only to recover at the last minute on her reflexes alone.
Todoroki must have noticed her careening into the path of an incoming barrage , because she was very sure the path she was on wasn't quite that h i g h before. Mina kept her knees inward as shot up over the crested hill of ice, flying through the air ( flailing really ) . For a moment her stomach dropped damn near into her feet as she started her d e s c e n t , she panicked in realizing she probably couldn't produce enough acid to cushion her fall so suddenly.
A grunt reached her lips as she was deposited bodily into the others arms , fingers locking tight enough to turn knuckles ASHEN . ❝ I — oh my god, Todoroki! ❞ she's probably very visibly shaken, ❝ That was such a good catch! Any second longer and I'd have been a Mina pancake on the sidewalk! ❞

ya didnt have to call me out like that man- GSHSGSJKJGJ but uh all 50 for goober :> (beatrice-santello)
@beatrice-santello @of-saints-and-demons oh god here comes Goober
1. Does your F/O have a birthmark? (or any type of freckles or beauty marks?)
None that are visible! She might have some on her body under the clothes, but none that we know about in canon. I headcanon that she has a couple of moles on her torso.
2. Is your F/O the type to volunteer to their community?
Judging by her past, which she spent fighting to protect her community, she does in her own way. She’d probably keep doing it as well, were she not trapped as an AI in the Corporation.
3. Does your F/O the type to be giving or to take?
Ignoring what I thought this question meant as first she’s more selfless than you’d think. There’s a reason she’s kind of a hero figure in the Back Streets. Even now, her anger is over the dangerousness of the anomalies and her inability to protect people. I’d say she’s more of a giving person.
4. Does your F/O have any battle scars?
There’s a couple very visible on her face. Most likely there’s some on her body as well that you just can’t see because of the bodysuit.
5. Does your F/O wear make up? (Do you think they would be open to wearing makeup if they don’t wear it daily?)
I don’t think she does, mostly because she sees it as a waste of time. The fact that she’d look great is beside the point.
6. Has your F/O ever dye their hair or worn a wig?
She hasn’t. She probably sees that as a waste of time too, but her natural hair is gorgeous either way.
7. What is your F/O fashion taste?
Sleek and maybe a bit edgy, with lots of black and red. Especially considering her signature longcoat.
8. How tall is your F/O?
Taaaall. She’s taller than every other sephirah in the game. If she’s not six feet tall, she’s pretty close.
9. What is your F/O’s blood type?
In her present form, she doesn’t have blood. Which is a really ominous statement out of context. Even when she did, I have no idea what her blood type would be.
10. When is your F/O birthday?
She doesn’t have a canon birthday, but I think sometime in late October to early November. She’s probably a Scorpio.
11. Does your F/O know how to cook? If so are they good at it?
She’s an okay cook, I think. She’s not amazing at it, but she can get by.
12. What is your F/O favorite flavor? (sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami (savory))
It isn’t listed here, but she probably prefers spicy food over anything else, and I mean very spicy. If she’s not in actual pain, it’s not enough.
13. If your F/O could be a fan of any video game what do you think it would be?
For some reason I like the idea of her just being unfairly good at Smash. She can and will crush you. Her main is probably Ganon or something similar, heavy on offense.
14. What type of aesthetic does you F/O have?
Reeeeed. She has a clear theming color, and I feel like her aesthetic involves it a lot. Red and slightly edgy.
15. What color is your F/O eyes?
They’re a golden color. Sometimes in fanart she’s portrayed as heterochromatic because of her damaged eye.
16. Does your F/O have any tattoos? If not do they like or hate the concept of tattoos?
She doesn’t have any in canon, but I feel like she could get behind the idea. She’d probably get something in memory of her fallen comrades, as a reminder of what she’s here for and what’s at stake.
17. If you could matching tattoos what would it be?
Hmm, some kind of matching symbol to remind of us everything we’ve been through. Potentially one another’s weapons?
18. Does your F/O have any piercings?
I don’t think she does. She doesn’t hate the aesthetic, but depending on where they are they might be risky in battle, so she might not get any.
19. Is your F/O a cake or pie person?
Oooh, hard. I don’t think she’s crazy about sweets, but she’d prefer pie.
20. Is your F/O a morning or night person?
More of a night owl, I’d say. She’s just used to getting most of her work done at night, and it’s a hard habit to break.
21. Is your F/O a coffee or tea person?
Definitely a coffee person. It’s more readily available at the Corporation, and she prefers the taste. She takes hers black.
22. Is your F/O half empty or half full type of person?
She’s more of a pessimist and can maybe be a bit bitter at times. Hard to blame her, considering everything she’s gone through.
23. Does your F/O have a pet? If not in canon what do you think they would have if given the chance?
I don’t think she has one in canon, due to the peculiarities of working for the Corporation. In a AU I could see her going for a big dog, or maybe a cat.
24. Is your F/O the type to want to live in the city or live out in the country?
She’s lived in the city all her life and is used to it, but I don’t think she’d mind the space when it comes to living in the country.
25. Does your F/O like to swim?
I’m not sure she ever has, but (assuming she’s not in robot form) I could see her enjoying it. Helps keep her strong and all.
26. What harry potter house would your F/O be in? (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin)
She’s a pretty clear shoe in for Gryffindor, especially considering her past.
27. If your F/O was in “avatar: the last air bender” what type of bender would they be? (air, water, earth, and fire)
Honestly if her design didn’t already scream firebender, the fiery personality sure does.
28. Is your F/O LGBT+?
It seems to be a pretty popular idea in the fandom that she’s some kind of wlw. I personally like to see her as bi like me.
29. Does your F/O have any artistic hobbies? (Knitting, drawing, painting, etc)
I don’t think she’s ever tried any, and she’d probably say something about just not being meant for that. Still, I wonder if she’d enjoy it if she ever did get the chance to try. Maybe just as stress relief.
30. What’s a piece of clothing your F/O is never seen without? (glasses, a necklace, hat, etc)
Her design changed as a sephirah, but that long coat she wore before was so iconic. When it comes to accessories though, she tends to keep things light.
31. What type of scent does your F/O remind you of?
Maybe some kind of warm, smokey scent. I mean I know she’s portrayed smoking a lot but maybe some kind of nice bonfire smell?
32. What’s something you see often that has little to no relation to your F/O but always reminds you of them?
She’s never used one in canon, but I could see her appreciating a good knife. Just like swords, which I absolutely do associate with her.
33. Do you have any silly nicknames or pet names for your F/O?
Goober. She probably hates that one. I’m also pretty generous with pet names, which embarrass her if they’re done in front of others, but she kinda likes them when it’s just us.
34. What does your F/O house/apartment look like? (or what do you think it looks like)
I think she’s just fine with a smaller space, just a small apartment is fine. She keeps it pretty organized, not minimalist by any means but she keeps it nice and clean.
35. What season reminds you of your F/O? (winter, spring, summer, fall)
Honestly, fall. Not just because of the colors, but I could see her liking it best.
36. Have you ever had a dream with your F/O in it?
Recently she has started appearing in my dreams. Confusingly Binah (who I’m not considering at all) was also there?
37. Does your F/O play any musical instruments?
I honestly doubt she’s ever had the chance to try, so she has no idea how. Her learning to play a saxophone though, hmm...
38. What’s a song that reminds you of your F/O when you hear?
For her as a character and not in a romantic way, Firestarter by the Prodigy. It definitely has the right heavy feel, and the fire imagery is always good for her.
Also, low key, Together Again by Janet Jackson came on earlier today, and it had me thinking about my ship with her.
39. What is your relationship like with your F/O?
Actually, really close. I’m one of the few people she feels like she can trust, and really she needs me around. I’m the only one she can lean on, and while she knows sometimes she doesn’t know how to handle emotional things, she’ll repay the debt by doing everything she can to protect me.
40. How long have you been with your F/O? (or at least been interested in them?)
I only just added her to the list in the past few days, but I’ve been thinking about her for slightly longer. Still, it hasn’t been very long.
41. Where is your F/O from? (as in born)
She’s from the Back Streets, which is a slum kind of area which is apparently pretty dangerous to live in. I’m also not sure what the city from Lobotomy Corporation is called, but it’s some kind of metropolitan area.
42. Is your F/O the type to read reviews, or just go with their gut
She definitely goes with her gut, just as a general rule. After all, her gut is all she has.
43. What does your F/O’s Saturdays usually look like?
God, a much needed break. Get some coffee, maybe get a workout in, not have to deal with the bullshit from the Corporation. Maybe have some time with me. (This is, of course, unless she just has to work on Saturdays anyway, but god I want her to have a break.)
44. What is your F/O’s most valuable possession?
It’s probably a memento from her time in the Back Streets. Something small, but she’s still pretty fiercely protective of it. In some ways, it’s a reminder of what she’s lost.
45. What’s a fad you can see your F/O taking part of?
Honestly the thought of her taking part in any fad is really funny. The closest thing I can think of is her trying crossfit or something along those lines (and even then, something tells me she wouldn’t be impressed).
46. does your F/O prefer to work alone or with a team?
You know, I feel like it’s really easy to assume she prefers to work alone, especially with how she acts in game, but I think she misses having a team of people she could really trust. I feel like she likes to work with a team, but it has to be the right team.
47. How well does your F/O know tech? (such as computers, smart phones)
She has some exposure to tech, but mostly in a Corporation setting. So some things she’s pretty used to handling, but others she has no idea what to do with.
48. What’s some advice your F/O would tell you?
My first thought was she would tell me to hold on to what I believe in. I think in many ways she’s ashamed of not being able to protect others and the situation she’s currently in, so that’s what she wants to say the most.
49. What animal reminds you of your F/O?
I know she’s been compared to various kinds of big cats before, but maybe a bear? Like for both the vicious reputation and the protectiveness.
50. What color reminds you of your F/O?
Well, considering how strong the color theming is, it feels wrong to say anything but red.
51. What’s the most interesting fact you know about your F/O?
So we’re limited in how much we know about her in canon, so my fact might be kind of lame. But while she’s usually depicted wielding Mimicry (Nothing There’s weapon), she uses many more than that in her Sephirah Meltdown. They include, from what I remember, weapons from Spider Bud, Burrowing Heaven, Silent Orchestra, Apocalypse Bird, One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds, Mountain of Smiling Bodies, King of Greed, and Judgment Bird. In fact, I’m pretty sure she touches on most of the aleph-class weapons. Of those, my favorite one that she wields is Twilight (from Apocalypse Bird).

Master NumPy Library for Data Analysis in Python in 10 Minutes
Learn and Become a Master of one of the most used Python tools for Data Analysis.
Introduction:-
NumPy is a python library used for working with arrays.It also has functions for working in domain of linear algebra, fourier transform, and matrices.It is an open source project and you can use it freely. NumPy stands for Numerical Python.
NumPy — Ndarray Object
The most important object defined in NumPy is an N-dimensional array type called ndarray. It describes the collection of items of the same type. Items in the collection can be accessed using a zero-based index.Every item in an ndarray takes the same size of block in the memory.
Each element in ndarray is an object of data-type object (called dtype).Any item extracted from ndarray object (by slicing) is represented by a Python object of one of array scalar types.
The following diagram shows a relationship between ndarray, data type object (dtype) and array scalar type −
It creates an ndarray from any object exposing array interface, or from any method that returns an array.
numpy.array(object, dtype = None, copy = True, order = None, subok = False, ndmin = 0)
The above constructor takes the following parameters −
Object :- Any object exposing the array interface method returns an array, or any (nested) sequence.
Dtype : — Desired data type of array, optional.
Copy :- Optional. By default (true), the object is copied.
Order :- C (row major) or F (column major) or A (any) (default).
Subok :- By default, returned array forced to be a base class array. If true, sub-classes passed through.
ndmin :- Specifies minimum dimensions of resultant array.
Operations on Numpy Array
In this blog, we’ll walk through using NumPy to analyze data on wine quality. The data contains information on various attributes of wines, such as pH and fixed acidity, along with a quality score between 0 and 10 for each wine. The quality score is the average of at least 3 human taste testers. As we learn how to work with NumPy, we’ll try to figure out more about the perceived quality of wine.
The data was downloaded from the winequality-red.csv, and is available here. file, which we’ll be using throughout this tutorial:
Lists Of Lists for CSV Data
Before using NumPy, we’ll first try to work with the data using Python and the csv package. We can read in the file using the csv.reader object, which will allow us to read in and split up all the content from the ssv file.
In the below code, we:
Import the csv library.
Open the winequality-red.csv file.
With the file open, create a new csv.reader object.
Pass in the keyword argument delimiter=";" to make sure that the records are split up on the semicolon character instead of the default comma character.
Call the list type to get all the rows from the file.
Assign the result to wines.
We can check the number of rows and columns in our data using the shape property of NumPy arrays:
Indexing NumPy Arrays
Let’s select the element at row 3 and column 4. In the below code, we pass in the index 2 as the row index, and the index 3 as the column index. This retrieves the value from the fourth column of the third row:
1-Dimensional NumPy Arrays
So far, we’ve worked with 2-dimensional arrays, such as wines. However, NumPy is a package for working with multidimensional arrays. One of the most common types of multidimensional arrays is the 1-dimensional array, or vector.
1.Just like a list of lists is analogous to a 2-dimensional array, a single list is analogous to a 1-dimensional array. If we slice wines and only retrieve the third row, we get a 1-dimensional array:
2. We can retrieve individual elements from third_wine using a single index. The below code will display the second item in third_wine:
3. Most NumPy functions that we’ve worked with, such as numpy.random.rand, can be used with multidimensional arrays. Here’s how we’d use numpy.random.rand to generate a random vector:
After successfully reading our dataset and learning about List, Indexing, & 1D array in NumPy we can start performing the operation on it.
The first element of each row is the fixed acidity, the second is the volatile ,acidity, and so on. We can find the average quality of the wines. The below code will:
Extract the last element from each row after the header row.
Convert each extracted element to a float.
Assign all the extracted elements to the list qualities.
Divide the sum of all the elements in qualities by the total number of elements in qualities to the get the mean.
NumPy Array Methods
In addition to the common mathematical operations, NumPy also has several methods that you can use for more complex calculations on arrays. An example of this is the numpy.ndarray.sum method. This finds the sum of all the elements in an array by default:
2. Sum of alcohol content in all sample red wines
NumPy Array Comparisons
We get a Boolean array that tells us which of the wines have a quality rating greater than 5. We can do something similar with the other operators. For instance, we can see if any wines have a quality rating equal to 10:
3. select wines having pH content > 5
Subsetting
We select only the rows where high_Quality contains a True value, and all of the columns. This subsetting makes it simple to filter arrays for certain criteria. For example, we can look for wines with a lot of alcohol and high quality. In order to specify multiple conditions, we have to place each condition in parentheses, and separate conditions with an ampersand (&):
4. Select only wines where sulphates >10 and alcohol >7
5. select wine having pH greater than mean pH
We have seen what NumPy is, and some of its most basic uses. In the following posts we will see more complex functionalities and dig deeper into the workings of this fantastic library!

IM SURE people already sent you Vince for ask thing SO fuck him! Ada, Leo, Sharon and Xerxes one or all of them I don't care lol
You know Anon when you sent this in fact not a single person had sent Vince.
I'm gonna go w Ada bc the other ones got their own asks and I like her more than Sharon
favorite thing about them:
Genuinely one of the most strong and thoughtful characters in Pandora Hearts despite being so minor and I really do love her for how much she cares for others and how effective she is in responding to them. She's just a wonderful kind person and I love how the narrative uses her to establish that kindness or innocence isn't at all a weakness in character and she's another character who makes the active choice to be forgiving and full of love even at great personal cost.
least favorite thing about them:
Damn this bitch really does not have an arc outside of her shitty boyfriend huh which sucks bc Ada has so much going for her !!! The whole "I much prefer Onii-chan the way you are now" scene is one of my favorites... Her friendship with Gil is Very Cute... she wanted to be friends with Elliot and Leo... The drama involving her father... There's so much but we only really get to see her interact with Vincent outside of a few scenes :(
favorite line:
"If you want to disappear, give your life to me! I'll show you all kinds of delights you have yet to experience! I'll make you feel glad you were born!"
Pandora Hearts voice suicide bad universe good I love you :)
brOTP:
She and Gil !!! They are cute :) Gil doesn't have a whole lot of friends and basically none during the ten year timeskip aside from Break/Vince who are . Well. Except apparently keeping contact with Ada which couldn't have been easy since they lived in enemy houses and also Ada was 8 when he left. I like their dynamic of just being intensely fond of each other while having no romantic interest I like the emphasis PH puts on platonic m/f relationships. They got to miss Oz together
OTP:
Noise and Ada should be gfs bc I really do see two same gender foils and be like oh my good God they should kiss.
Seriously though in my ideal version of Pandora Hearts Noise still realizes she was never attracted to Vincent but THEN she goes and you know what? Ada hot and they kiss once and then she still dies bc tbh I'm not sure how to end her/Echo's arc differently.
But uh basically I think since it's meant to be understood that Noise and Vincent exist in toxic parallel while Ada runs perpendicular to them both I see no reason why Ada couldn't become invested in Noise the way she had in Vincent, particularly with the context that Noise's arc was about overcoming her internalized misogyny/comphet (as opposed to Vincent who... Was a man.) In many ways Ada is supposed to exist as a direct challenge to all of Vincent's previously held convictions (PARTICULARLY his misogyny) and well. I think Noise deserves her more than Vincent does. They'd be so much better for each other than either would be with Vincent.
nOTP:
VinceAda which I dislike intensely as a ship but in a weird way. I like both characters quite a bit individually a lot of their interactions are either very funny or very touching their dynamic is interesting I post about them a lot.
But it doesn't change the fact that Vincent is a misogynist and a predator who behaves in a very... Rape-y manner towards her early in their relationship. Ada is an adult but she's only just barely an adult and she's still in high school while Vincent self identifies as 23 which is creepy as hell. And then just... Not to draw attention away from the fact that Ada is definitely the exploited party in the power dynamic but Vincent associates her with the image of his abuser to the point of becoming physical with her during a flashback and it's just... It's not cute it's just unhealthy and sad.
I do feel like the narrative understands their relationship is unhealthy. In the True End where we're supposed to understand that things worked out Well Enough but in a realistic manner Vincent breaks up with her and then fucking fakes his death to stop her from trying to contact him again. I think this is an important and positive part of his development and I'm glad he acknowledged that the best thing he could do for his victims would be to separate himself from them and seek to improve himself on his own but the narrative still acts like it was the job of a teenaged girl to reform a predatory man in his 20s which is !! Not great miss Mochijun !!!
random headcanon:
I like to think during the 100 year timeskip she became something of a polymath ala Ada Lovelace who I like to think is her namesake tho I doubt it. She seems like she'd be the type to really enjoy writing horror short stories and submitting them anonymously to literature magazines. She also seems like the type to invent computers because she felt like it. Fuck it
unpopular opinion:
She's not stupid in the slightest she's just kinda scatterbrained. She knows what she's doing she just overestimates her ability to do it.
song i associate with them:
Bokura wa Minna Imi Fumei (Nobody Makes Sense)
favorite picture of them:
