~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pulling up to the same old apartment I always visited. The clouds left the grounds in a shadowed haze. My mood, feeling similar. Tall trees surrounding the building, starting to bud with life. Intense wind shaking the branches, bringing cold through layers of clothing. In seeking something other than this cold day, I walked up to the apartment complex. To find my warmth and shelter.

“I’m here!” I called out. Walking inside the tall black door, lined with sleek silver. Walking through the doorway, the bitter sweet smell of roses filled my senses. The house was rather empty. Other than a few suitcases and a pile of clothes by the living room. The lights were all off, white sheer curtains swung wide open. The place was quite dark due to the limited sunlight and zero lights. Finally I was greeted by Jimin, flopped out on the leather couch. As he scrolled his phone.

“Hey, what are you doing here?~” He smiled wide, meeting my equally joyful gaze. His kind eyes hid behind his cheeks. Getting up to greet me with a sigh, Swiping a hand through mocha colored hair. Few pieces dangled untamed in his face. His silver hoop earrings spotted among the strands of hair. Sure he was on his day off, lazing around at home. With remains of travel supplies stacked in the living room. But not without style. Jimin met me in front of the door, Standing in front of me with his arms wide open. “Cmere.”

He demanded adorably so. I fell into his embrace. His soft tan sweater comforted me like a warm blanket. Again the smell of rose’s. Jimin’s warm hands holding me. Feeling like a weight had been taken off my shoulders from a single touch. Not wanting to let go. Feeling a hot puff of air by my ear.

“I’m glad you're here. Aish, sorry. I’ve been so tired. ” Jimin yawned, covering his mouth with a silver ringed hand. Letting me go he grabbed one of my hands, lazily dragging me behind him. Back to the leather couch. Past all the other white furniture. “Sorry about the mess, don't mind it.. I haven't had the chance to properly go through everything since the tour.”

He placed a chaste kiss on my lips, guiding me to sit down with him. Jimin was nearly folded in half beside me. The arm closest to me swung around my shoulder. The other held his phone, he had probably gotten from a sponsor. Jimin’s tired eyes scanned the screen as he swiped up repeatedly. Tired eyes with remains of makeup on, followed the motion. Leaning into him a little closer, I saw it was the Weverse app he was on. So Jimin was scrolling through millions of ARMY posts. The whole while he scrolled, his plump lips held a soft smile. Though he looked exhausted. Jimin told me he got home two days ago. But by the look of his place, and eye bags. It seemed more like it was late last night…

I had caught up with their new content and often saw ARMY’s posts. Edits of the members and so on. Every edit I seemed to stumble upon was of Jimin. Which made me miss him more.. Now I finally get to see him and he’s not even talking to me. Here I am watching my amazing boyfriend stare at his phone. Though, It’s work related.. I’ll just enjoy the silent company. So I pulled out my phone and scrolled uselessly. I’m sure he’ll wrap up in a bit. I did just barge in after all..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We sat together here in almost complete silence. Other than Jimin yawning or me trying to break said silence. Scrolling on our phones? After not seeing each other for nearly two months? I was starting to get a little aggravated. Just as anyone would. I had asked him to tell me about the performances every now and then. He’d say ‘in a minute’ everytime. It's now been an hour. I knew what he was doing was work related, technically. But ARMY could wait.

“Jimin?” I called out his name. A ting of sass escaped past my lips.

“Hm? Yes love?” Jimin replied, Tilting his head up a little. Shaking stray hair strands from his view. Eyes still on the screen.

“Put down the phone?” Finally I asked. Waiting.

“Hang on one second I promise.-”

“Too late.” I slid onto his lap.

“Woah, hey-”

(spice)

I latched a hold on his phone before his hands flew back from me. Before he knew what I was up to. My free hand balanced myself on his lap. A little.. lower.. than I expected. Jimin twitched from the sudden contact. At that moment I stole his phone. Powering it down with a smug grin.

“I’ll make you get off of it.” I met his gaze, those doe eyes didn't seem so tired anymore.

“Ha.. you're challenging me?” Jimin tilted his head to the side. Inhaling sharply. A sly grin formed across his lips as he stared me down. Oh fuck.. He leaned closer to me, tracing one of his hands down my spine. Resting at my lower back. Pushing me into him. I was the one shaking now. Jimin, once again in possession of his phone. Releasing me, let a smug grin grace his lips. Leaning by my ear he whispered. “We both know it won't end well for you if you tease me.~”

“But, You can keep trying if you want. I’ll decide when I'm done on my phone.” Jimin sassed leaving a small pout behind. He flopped back to his original place on the couch among the few fluffy pillows. Bringing myself forward, my chest resting upon his. Slowly breathing across his neck. I shot a glance past his chin. Jimin was biting the inside of his cheek, presumably avoiding my gaze. My eyes quickly locked onto my next target with a little grin. Sliding my hands down his chest, over his sweater. Again my gaze drifted back to him. I flipped up the hem of his sweater and ran my cold hands slowly across his abs. Jimin flinched a little from the sudden touch from my cool hand. “You feeling me huh?”

I could tell his jaw clenched at the motion. Hovering my hand around there for a moment. Feeling his muscles. Moving my hips over his thighs. Jimin’s light denim jeans hugged them perfectly. Perfectly enough for me to tell he was enjoying this. Upon realizing this, My gaze flew up to meet his. Still staring at his screen. Holding his bottom lip in a small bite. Pink started dusting his cheeks. Continuing to stare I could almost see the blush intensify. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little backed up from being away for so long… Jimin was reacting way more quickly. Almost instantly.

“L-listen, It’s a waste of time. Just stop messing with me.”

“Really?” I asked mockingly. His eyes were now slowly drifting their attention to me through rapid blinks. Those beautiful eyes I could get lost in. But now isn't the time. My hands wander further under his sweater.

“It wont work. Baby, just stop, I'm trying to work..” Jimin started sounding a little irritated with me. Grabbing my wrist, halting the hand that had been about to reach his chest. Once my hand was held down, I could feel Jimin’s heartbeat. Beating fast in his chest. His body, getting warmer by the second. I let a small grin tug at the corner of my lips. He set the phone down and attempted to shake me off. Pulling my hands out from under his sweater. But he still wasn't saying no. “What has gotten into you? Aish.. Ok ok what.”

“If you really want me to stop, why haven't you stopped me?” Now seeing you all worked up makes me all worked up. I ran through my fiery words. I sat there still on his lap. I flopped my head on one of Jimin's lean shoulders. Fanning my warm breath on him. As I left small kisses across his neck.

“F/N? Are you really ok?” Jimin asked with a sigh, bringing a kind hand to my back. Sitting in silence calming myself down. Inhaling his sweet scent through kisses. All the while soft moans left his lips. I turned my lips into his neck. Pausing for a moment. “Hm? Is everything ok- AGHh!~”

I bit down. Strongly enough to have certainly left a mark. A moan ripped through Jimin’s throat. His body jerked beneath me.

“What are you.. Mng~.. doing. Ah..” Jimin breathed out all over the place. He had enjoyed that more than I was expecting. I’ll use this to my advantage. I continued kissing Jimin’s neck, slowly getting more aggressive. His nails began to dig slightly into my back. “Ok. seriously. please.. Stop..ah..”

He clawed at the back of my shirt. Trying to ‘pull’ me off. Ignoring his whines I continued leaving kisses and marks. Jimin’s hips slowly started moving with mine. Tiny moans and grunts strung out from his mouth. Biting a spot close to Jimin’s ear he stopped his hips.

“F/N d-don't leave marks. The guys will see them.. Ahh. seriously come onn.~” He whined again. Hands sliding up to hold my shoulders. I finally pulled back from his neck and faced him. Face bright red, his shoulders rising and falling from loss of breath. Damn he looked fine. Jimin’s doe eyes scanned mine. Both in hunt of an answer to what it was the other was thinking. Jimin grabbed the hem of his sweater. “Alright alright. You win. I put my phone down. If you.. want to leave marks at the very least do it where no one can see. I don't want the guys to see them..”

After his statement his sweater had been whisked off his form. Showcasing his lean muscle for full display. Mocha colored hair strung about as he pushed it back. The waistband of his boxers now visible. His light denim jeans desperately trying to contain his excitement. My mind in a haze, My hands flew to his waist as I leaned into him again. Leaving soft kisses across Jimin’s ear. Grinding my hips onto him. Doing as he had asked, I kissed his collarbone.

“Ngh- more~” Jimin whined again. Though whining would often bother me. Somehow he made it sexy as all hell. I left stronger kisses leaving darker marks. Jimin’s moans started getting louder and louder. While he slowly got less embarrassed, focussing more on the feeling. That’s when I had an idea. As Jimin was slowly getting more comfortable with these marks, the feeling of me being in control. I removed myself from his form. Getting up and wandering off to his room. “F/N Where are you going? Don't leave me like this~ Dont stop~.”

Jimin cried out from the living room. Slowly footsteps approached behind me. The reason I ran to his room wasn't the comfy bed alone. Rather. The full body mirror he had by the closet. Pulling the mirror a little more in front of the bed, sitting on the end of it. Just then he met me in the room. His lean form showcasing small buds of pink blossom, the result of my hard work. The one larger bite on his lower neck, somehow making me excited. I knew now that Jimin was not going back to that phone anytime soon. I patted the empty space on the bed in front of me with a smile. He flopped down with a sigh, back facing me. I wrapped my legs around his waist instantly. Sort of ‘locking’ him in.

“Ah- What are you doing?”

“ Look ahead~ ” I whispered slyly in his ear. He scoffed until he met his own gaze in the mirror. The gaze in question full of sharp desire. Instantly his hand skimmed over the marks I had been leaving behind. Again Blush flooded his cheeks. Oh fuck he’s so cute. “Oh, wow.. I can see where you’ve kissed me.”

Jimin would usually never let me leave marks on him due to constant camera work. Everything involving ARMY. So I was very surprised how much he was enjoying it right now. Leaning onto his back, tracing his hips as I leaned my head back into his neck. Hot breath fanning him once again. Feeling his body shiver slightly under my touch. Jimin’s gaze was focused straight ahead toward the mirror. Watching both him and I enjoy this heated moment. Sliding my hand down between his thighs. Jimin was hard as all hell. He was enjoying looking at himself in this state. Begging.

“Continue. I wanna watch you mark me. ahh.. Please. Don't stop. Mng~”

(Two days later Jimin’s POV)

“Alright! That’s practice wrapped up for today!” Namjoon called out to everyone. We all sat down on the hardwood floor chugging water, out of breath. All dressed in shorts and T shirts un-like the weather outside. I seriously didn't think we would be doing this so hardcore again so soon. Lying down on the floor arms and legs wide open like a starfish, staring at the bright lights. Sets of footsteps through piles of chatter left the practice studio. Until it was nearly dead silent, besides the huge whirring of the fan. I sat up running my hands through my sweaty hair. In need of a good shower. Getting up with a grunt gathering the last of my things and walking toward the door.

“Having fun huh?” Yoongi inquired.I jumped in response. I didn't even realize he was here. I thought I was alone.

“Having fun? I mean yeah?” I agreed, confused. Yoongi snorted at me.

“What?! What’s funny?”

“If you're trying to hide the fact you have a partner. You might wanna not wear a white shirt to practice.” Yoongi strutted up to me, bag swung over his shoulder. Leaving me alone in the mirror filled room briefly. I looked in one of the many mirrors.

“My tattoos.. You can see them through-” There they were. The remaining hickeys. As well as my face filled with heated blush. I ran out the door after him. “WELL IF YOU'D MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS HYUNG!”

Yoongi looked back at me with a shrug. Meeting up with the other members in the hall. Their eyes scanned my form as I stood arms wide out. A few were shocked while most of them laughed. I stood there defeated.

“Well, Jimin you’ve been busy since the tour huh?” Jungkook snickered at me.

“Shut your yaps you loners.”

*Yoongi gave Jimin his sweater to cover up*

A/N: Lots of BTS ones to go!

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 33 part two

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Side Note: As you know, I mostly except for sex scenes try not to compare CQL to its parent work, MDZS, because I think different works should get to be their own things. But I do love the book and all its many adaptations, and in case you want to dive into all of that, I’ve put together a roundup of everything I’m aware of (Novel, Donghua, Manhua, etc.) that’s available in English, and where to find them. That post is over here.

Morning in Cloud Recesses

It’s morning, and by the time Wei Wuxian gets out of bed, Lan Wangji has already stretched, made breakfast, folded the laundry, and gone to play his guqin by the waterfall.

Wei Wuxian steps outside and takes a deep breath, happy to be staying in a place that doesn’t smell like lava or corpses.

He wanders through the oddly empty cloud recesses, hallucinating about happier times. These are not normal flashbacks; he is in the frame, watching, while things happen in the past.

Eh, that’s ok, he’s been through a lot. Hallucinations aren’t uncommon with PTSD.

At each memory, he smiles warmly, until the present day catches up and his mood crashes back down.

This repeats until he reaches the library, where he remembers (in a normal desaturated flashback) showing porn to Lan Wangji and how mad he got. A bit of a smile stays with him after that.

(more after the cut!)

Bunny Kisses

Then he finds the rabbits, two of whom cheer him up by smooching, like he wishes he and Lan Wangji would do.

As a stand-in for a human kissing scene, this is cute, as long as we anthropomorphize them so that their sniffing of each others faces counts as kissing. It’s definitely better than watching those birds from The Long Ballad.

(I adore The Long Ballad and have watched it three times so far, and that is three times more than I ever needed to see a bird’s tongue)

Return of the Bathing Beauty Trope

Then Wei Wuxian finds Lan Wangji in the cold spring. Let’s compare this encounter to the previous time they met each other here, so many years ago.

Then: Baby Wei Wuxian sees Lan Wangji and *sprints* down the stairs to be near him, even though they don’t really get along yet.

He’s completely delighted to see him, not at all deterred by the unfriendly reception.

Now: Grown up Wei Wuxian reacts with with a fond smile, similar to the way he’s reacted to all the memories he’s been replaying.

The smile fades, and he approaches with absolutely none of the exuberance of his youth.

He just has...no joy. Not in living, not in being around Lan Wangji. But he’s sought him out as unerringly as he did in his youth, all the same.

Then: Baby Lan Wangji realizes Wei Wuxian is approaching, takes a millisecond to consider the situation, and immediately goes to put clothes on. He’s fully covered by the time Wei Wuxian reaches the shore.

Now: Grown-up Lan Wangji sees Wei Wuxian, and just...sits there...while Wei Wuxian looks at him. He’s got his hair pulled over his shoulder so his back is on display, too.

Lan Wangji is never going to tell Wei Wuxian about his scars, but I think he wants him to see, to understand that Things Have Happened in his own life while Wei Wuxian was gone. Talking isn’t really his thing, so he’s showing him instead.

(These unobtrusive scars, incidentally, are what happens when a character is extremely scarred but is being portrayed by a half-naked Wang Yibo. The producers aren’t going to give up a thirst opportunity for the sake of medical verisimilitude.)

I think he’s also deliberately letting Wei Wuxian see how beautiful he looks without his many layers of robes on. He sits still, being looked at, for 30 seconds of screen time, and then he turns around to show off his tiddies.

Unfortunately that’s when Wei Wuxian notices the burn on his chest, which wasn’t what Lan Wangji was going for, so he--slowly--gets out and puts his clothes on.

This burn scar is never discussed in the show, although the book explains it. I think if you haven’t read the book you can still guess that Lan Wangji did it to himself out of grief. This is a literal mark of Lan Wangji’s devotion--one he’s not ready for Wei Wuxian to understand just yet.

Continuing the comparison: in the past, it was Wei Wuxian trying to get close to Lan Wangji, as Lan Wangji resisted.

In the present, Wei Wuxian doesn’t need to push; Lan Wangji comes to him. Lan Wangji has, in the course of 12 hours, invited Wei Wuxian so far into his life and has shown Wei Wuxian so much of himself that he might as well have embroidered "down to fuck" on the front of his robes.

Before this, Wei Wuxian had never seen his house, not seen his hair without several chunks of silver in it, not heard him play guqin other than for medical purposes, and definitely hadn't been given a generous eyeful of his elegant torso and swanlike neck.

Seeing Lan Wangji’s various scars, Wei Wuxian starts to get out of his own head a bit, and begins to think about the person Lan Wangji has become in his absence. He demands--not via his usual whining, but with quiet authority--to know what happened.

This gets him absolutely nowhere, because Lan Wangji is the stubbornest person on Earth. He let Wei Wuxian look, and that’s all the communicating he plans to do on this subject.

He knows perfectly well that he has an interfering older brother who will eventually explain everything for him.

Failmaster Qiren

The tension is broken by the arrival of some juniors, who say that Lan Qiren tried to communicate with the sword spirit, and it kicked his ass. This happens to him more often than it should.

There are a lot of funny moments in The Untamed, many of them deliberate, but some caused by the challenges of a big production with complicated continuity. For me, nothing will ever be funnier than the fact that, on his way to save his uncle from the homicidal sword spirit, Lan Wangji stopped to do his hair.

Outside the sword room, Wei Wuxian demonstrates one of his core skills: busting through barriers in the Cloud Recesses.

None of the juniors can get past this door that he’s easily blasting open, but they all still believe that this dude with Lan Wangji is second-rate cultivator Mo Xuanyu.

Flute Recital

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian start playing "Rest" to the sword, but then Wei Wuxian realizes that Lan Qiren is going to recognize him if he plays the flute well...while not wearing a mask...or something? This is one of those moments where it would make a lot more sense if Mo Xuanyu did not look like Wei Wuxian, but we would all be sad if either version of Wei Wuxian did not look like Xiao Zhan, so let’s roll with it.

To hide his real abilities, and because he is a compulsive troll, Wei Wuxian launches into an extra-shitty rendition of WangXian, which is apparently bad enough to knock Lan Qiren out again.

Lan Wangji takes a moment to wonder why he had to be born a clownosexual, exclusively attracted to clowns. One clown in particular.

Now the mystery-solving part of the story gets rolling. Wei Wuxian picks up the sword, which is smoking with resentment, to get a read on it. It screams at him like the Xuanwu sword did, back in the good old days.

Wei Wuxian shudders and gasps sexily, and then falls into Lan Wangji's waiting arms.

Lan Wangji suddenly feels totally fine about his clownosexuality.

Party in the Jingshi

Later, at the Jingshi, Wei Wuxian expertly twirls his flute just like that one Yiling Laozu guy was known for doing while Lan Wangji and several disciples tend to Lan Qiren.

Lan Wangji has put Lan Qiren in his own bed, the same bed Wei Wuxian was sleeping in 12 hours ago. I'd say Lan Wangji has the busiest bed in the Cloud Recesses, except that we all know that honor belongs to Lan Xichen.

The disciples gossip about the resentful energy, and one of them wonders aloud if the Yiling Laozu has taken over a new host body. That earns him a nearly lethal dose of stink-eye from Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji finishes checking his uncle’s pulse and puts his hand down but does not tuck him in, because his uncle is not named Wei Wuxian.

We get our first clue that Lan Wangji is actually Lan Sizhui's dad when he vaguely dismisses the whole group of disciples, but sends Lan Sizhui, specifically, to bed.

Hot-grumpy-dad Lan Wangji is my favorite. We don’t see him in this mood a lot at this age, particularly not when he’s busy making googly eyes at Wei Wuxian. But his worry for Lan Qiren seems to have brought back a slice of his angsty, angry younger self. *sizzle noise*

Lan Sizhui tries to argue about bedtime and gets shut down, so he verbally acquiesces to what his dad told him to do. Then he fucks off and does what he wants to do instead. It’s nice to see that Lan Wangji has raised a normal teenager.

Sizhui goes outside and chats with his other dad for a while. He doesn't know yet that this is his other dad, of course, just that his father has a new, cool boyfriend who can probably score much better weed than that crap Jingyi's always bragging about.

Wei Wuxian is a kind, serious authority figure in his conversations with Lan Sizhui; not silly or teasing as he is with Lan Jingyi. He tells Sizhui him not to blame himself for what happened at the Mo manor, and compliments his learning and thought processes.

I Trust You

In the morning, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji talk on the porch. Lan Qiren taking the only bed means they probably didn't have the fun night Lan Wangji had been hoping for. Also, while they are getting along well, Wei Wuxian isn't comfortable with him yet; he asks if Lan Wangji suspects him, when they talk about the haunted sword.

Lan Wangji takes the opportunity to tell him, emphatically, “Of course, I believe you.” This is the same “trust/believe” ( 信 ) that was hanging between them the previous evening, and Lan Wangji is taking steps to rectify the problem.

Fortunately, Wei Wuxian is helplessly in love with Lan Wangji, and has a very forgiving nature, so they will get comfortable with each other very quickly. They work out that Xue Yang must have recreated the Yin tiger seal using his own piece of Yin Metal.

Guest Lecturer

Next, Lan Wangji gathers a roomful of disciples together to listen to Yiling Laozu’s lecture on the topic of resentful energy and this demonic sword. (Lan Qiren wakes up, feels a disturbance in the force, faints again).

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian also flirt in front of the whole class. Features of this flirtation include Wei Wuxian doing this...thing with his flute and his mouth while he leans on Lan Wangji.

This one time, at band camp...

Theoretically, this move of Lan Wangji’s, where he steps away while Wei Wuxian is leaning on him, could be read as “doesn’t like to be touched.” Except grown-up Lan Wangji is happy to touch Wei Wuxian, and everyone’s faces say that this is Lan Wangji indulging in a moment of playfulness.

Lan Jingyi is slightly horrified, but Lan Sizhui is practically ecstatic about this development. He and Wei Wuxian have a little nonverbal conversation in which Lan Sizhui gives him the opposite of a shovel talk.

Lan Sizhui is the president of the Let's Get Hanguang-Jun Laid club. Jingyi will join up soon.

On The Road Again

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian leave Gusu on a pair of horses that are never seen again; why does Wei Wuxian ride a donkey if they've got horses? *shrug.*

They go into Qinghe and walk through the market; Wei Wuxian lighthearted and interested in his surroundings in a way he hasn't been since he was young. Lan Wangji seems comfortable in the crowd; a contrast to his early travels.

A vendor is selling Yiling Laozu merch. Wei Wuxian is offended by their ugliness, explaining that the Yiling Patriarch was one of the most beautiful men in the world, with many successful sponsorship deals.

Just then Jin Ling shows up, because the cultivation world is like 3 city blocks wide and everyone lives on the same block. He attacks the vendor for daring to mention Wei Wuxian in public.

This is my father’s font! I won’t put it down!

The stunt here involves the vendor getting yanked on a wire into a produce table, without knocking it over. One radish falls on the ground but the table doesn’t break into splinters and the air is not filled with flying veggies.

If you are accustomed to American TV and movies, seeing someone hit a produce table or cart without destroying a massive quantity of produce is positively surreal.

Wei Wuxian realizes that Jin Ling’s personality is an unfortunate combination of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Cheng. He decides that he should try to instill some of Jiang Yanli’s virtues in him. He puts his mask on and starts a conversation with Jin Ling.

Enter Fairy, the fluffy adorable dog, who is an exemplar of Wei Wuxian's deep fear of dogs. Fairy is also is a catalyst for a sudden onset of broad comedic acting in our leading man. Wei Wuxian screams and runs away as Fairy slooowly chases him.

Here’s what everyone was totally waiting for: my unsolicited thoughts on this cartoon man panel thing I found that got posted on YouTube! I… ended up writing MUCH more than I thought… but you know what, I can’t do text cuts on mobile. So I’m not cutting it. Sorry not sorry for forcing you all to read my opinions. 😆

I just kind of focused on the PPG parts because those are really mostly what I was interested in and scrubbed through the rest (since I’m not a huge fan of Foster’s, love WoY but just am not as invested in it as deeply, aaaaand I’ve only seen one or two episodes of Kid Cosmic). The whole PPG section was essentially me just nodding my head at all the stuff I knew that was repeated from other interviews (immediately blurting, “COWARD,” when he said he wouldn’t name them Pink/Green/Blue, occasionally laughing at the “I’m weird~, I’m artsy~, I’m not like other girls~” type of comments 🤣) but mostly agreeing on what he said about the girls. I mean, no surprises there! It’s cool to see how he’s thought about it all, especially in regards to the 2016 reboot and the live action thing.

…althooooooough…

I mean, agh, I dunno if I would say them getting older takes the Powerpuff out of the Powerpuff Girls (like… not gonna lie, REALLY bummed my mood to hear him go, “Oh, if they get older they’re not Powerpuff anymore, they’re just three super girls,” like…… I dunno, similar to other comments he’s made in the past that have irritated me, I’m sure it might’ve just come out bad and he didn’t mean it that way, but the way he said it just made me feel awful for the characters… sheesh, Craig, God forbid the girls grow up, then they’re just like eeeevery other woman, they’re not ~special~ anymore 😬😬😬) but like I understand that, what makes the girls different than other superheroes, specifically in the OG show, is that they’re little kids and they deal with kid issues. But… they’re also special because they’re sisters! They also have this cool id, ego, superego thing going on (I guess it’s more accurate to call it their heart, mind, and soul connection, now that I’m re-reading this, but what other superhero team has that? It’s very unique to them). Those are just two other big parts of who they are! I don’t think it’s impossible to have them be adults with adult issues (there could certainly be similar types of adult responsibilities that might serve as “kryptonite” as well, ones that are also more universally relatable). And I don’t think it’s impossible to make something with these three very interesting, iconic, strong characters in a setting where their femininity still wouldn’t be the main focus. They still would be living very unique lives: they don’t have secret identities like most superheroes, they still could be trying to live “normally” despite their amazing powers, like… it’s not that you automatically have to focus on them being women all of a sudden when they get older. You can still treat them like, you know, people. Why it seems like there’s an inability for these reboot creators to do that, whether they’re writing them young or old, I’m not sure (…I mean on a certain level I know but I won’t let myself rant about that). …also, yeah, like I’ve said before on here, for live-action you’d need a much bigger budget to even begin to give any of the villains worthy representation! Anyway. I guess tl;dr I personally would of course prefer them be their kids selves because that’s the original concept but yikes dude. I dunno, the comment just rubbed me the wrong way. 🫤

…also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but he seems to really light up talking about the Foster’s thing he wants to do. I would really, really, really want him to just work on THAT instead of doing that plus a PPG reboot. That kind of passion put into a project is great! I keep thinking about how PPG suffered with Craig having little to no involvement with it while working on Foster’s, and keep thinking about how… yeah, essentially, the PPG reboot is happening because money. Which, it is what it is, let’s face it, but I just hate thinking how, if they’re being worked on at the same time, the quality might suffer on one or the other, and I have a nagging feeling that it would be the PPG that would suffer, especially since I don’t really detect that same genuinely excited feeling he seems to have about the Foster’s thing when he’s talking about the PPG. …I dunno. I just feel like the, “Stop, stop, he’s already dead!” kid and I don’t want the series to needlessly suffer more. 🫠

Also that whole “bigger battles, tougher stakes,” etc., thing for the PPG… like, yeah, sounds cool I guess, but I hope it’s fun? It sounds like the edgy kind of tagline I would hear from these kinds of animation bros who want a darker, super-bloodier, serious PPG. I, too, love a good brawl and some gore now and then, but there is…… a balance. I hope he doesn’t veer too off-course in an attempt to make the series what other people haven’t made it. It’s a cursed enough series for something like that to happen. I dunno. I am trying my HARDEST to stay neutral about it guys, I am going to try to just bleach my brain and forget anything being said about the reboot. 😩

#count the number of times I write ‘I dunno’ lol it’s a lot #also I wrote ‘suffer’ a lot………….. oh boy 🤣#anyway cool panel and hope he made looooots of mooonnneeyyy from the gallery show haha

so yesterday when you posted about Class 1-A vs The Curse of Rule 34 i immediately read it and i loved it and so i read a few of their other fics and loved them and so i was wondering if you have any more fic recs that you’d like to share? it could be reader insert, oc or neither tbh i just trust your judgement in fics so i’m sure anything you recommend will be great! (also i love your writing so much i stumbled upon it multiple times in a03 and then tumblr just to realize it was yours before i decided to follow you (i tend to be really picky on who i follow idk why) because i went through your masterlist an read everything and then re-read everything)

Ahhh hello my love, I am honored by your follow!! You're literally so sweet and I can't tell you how much it means to me that I made the cut lol. Please don't feel pressure though, I'm always happy with just an occasional visit too!!

I definitely recommend anything in my fic recs tag - the fics I recommend here on tumblr are generally character x reader or character x OC and they range from smutty to fluffy lol.

My guilty pleasure though, and the majority of my fave fics are gen or ship fics!! I actually hardly ever read x reader fic--absolutely no idea why I am this way--but if you're up for some gen or ship fic, I'm happy to rec a couple others.

I'm not sure what you're into at the moment but I will give you some of my faves!!

Don't Ask Don't Tell by Ms_Chunks Bakugou/Uraraka. I probably don’t even need to describe this one since this is the flagship Kacchako fic lol. But Bakugou and Uraraka explore the compatibility of their quirks and create a pair combat style, and fall in love along the way. I fucking love the way the author uses the chemistry of their quirks to parallel the compatibility of their personalities, and Uraraka is such a bad ass in this one ughghgh I love it.

who lives, who dies, who tells your story by aloneintherain Todoroki/Midoriya, though mostly gen. Examines Toshinori’s life post-retirement and the exploits of class 1-A post-graduation, through narrative and social media blurbs. I’ve never read anything that manages to be so bittersweet, so hopeful, and so funny all at once.

Thanks for Saving Me by Esselle Todoroki/Midoriya. This is a pro hero Shouto/quirkless science nerd Deku fic that is one of my all time faves. This is the type of shit my fics wish they were doing. This author is out here peddling the slightly-sugar-daddy-but-also-slightly-a-little-bit-of-a-shit Shouto agenda and it is absolute perfection. I routinely reread for comfort.

Slow to Start (But Quick to Burn) by mousapelli Kirishima/Bakugou. It's an ABO AU where omega Bakugou slowly figures out how to manage his relationship to alpha Kirishima, while Kirishima is predictably kind, patient, and understanding. This fic is totally stuffed full of domesticity--lounging around doing laundry and homework together, baking together, and napping together. Actually my all-time fave comfort fic, I have read this probably a million times.

journey to the past by aloneintherain Gen fic. A time travel fic where the members of Class 1-A go back in time to protect Izuku during the various stages of his life, as villains with a time travel quirk attempt to target the future number one hero while he's still a kid. It's so good and sweet and heartfelt and lovely and the author does an amazing job exploring Izuku's relationship with several of the major characters.

And probably a fic rec closest to the Rule 34 rec would be:

A Demolition Boy & his Cryptid BF by kewltie Bakugou/Midoriya. This is a social media fic similar in style to Class 1-A vs The Curse of Rule 34--it’s a youtuber AU where bkdk are youtubers in different genres, and the internet has a conspiracy theory that they’re together. Another really good send up of fandom and fandom culture, and another one of my faves.

I hope at least one of these is something you're in the mood for!! And please send some of your faves my way!! I'm a slow reader but literally always open to more recs!! 💕💕💕

Gonna start being a brave girl and logging what happened during my day (when I feel like it) as text posts rather than tags so here goes 😭.

Work

Work wasn’t too bad today. Only did a half day so it wasn’t nearly as tiring as the 12 hour shifts. Was assigned a 1.1 today which means I was in a patient’s room with them all day monitoring their pulse, tidal vols and oxygen levels and making two sets of notes. The more detailed set was taken every 30 mins and the less detailed set every hour. They are fairly easy to take care of. Unfortunately they’re mostly bed bound but they like music so I put on lots of songs for them throughout the day to keep them entertained. They usually wave their hands in the air and shake their head when they hear a song they enjoy which I find quite sweet. Also I make sure to keep their hair brushed and skin moisturised throughout the day.

Whenever I’m assigned to that patient my work crush tends to pass by their room a lot and then we’ll make awkward eye contact with the odd smile lmao. Sometimes light convo if he’s feeling brave that day 😭.

Uni

Still haven’t got a reply from my personal tutor regarding the exams I messed up. I’m hoping they don’t fuck up my ability to pass the course overall. Dad has said that I shouldn’t worry and that if I have to repeat the year he’ll pay my tuition but I don’t want to have to repeat the year. I just feel so shit because it was poor mental health that made me fuck those exams up. I was in a really bad place, doubting my capability and didn’t bother submitting an MCF because I thought my mental health wouldn’t be taken seriously as the people in charge of it seem reluctant to give out extensions, allow you to defer etc but we’ll see how it goes.

Kinda scared for this essay coming up but I’ve been working hard to make sure I do detailed analyses of the papers supporting my arguments so I’m hoping it goes well.

Mood

Feeling so weird rn. My mood is shifting from anxious and depressed to emptiness. I can be hard on myself sometimes but it’s because I’m constantly thinking about where I’m from (3rd world country where most are unable to continue their education past college due to finance issues) and where I want to be (neuropsychologist or something similar). Most people in that field don’t even look like me and the odds never feel like they’re in my favour so it stresses me out but I don’t want to give up.

I’ve also deleted hinge and bumble lmao. I always say it will be the last time but I think this time it actually is. I think if I meet someone it’s gonna have to be organically. Not gonna put any pressure on it. It will happen when it happens.

answered asks below cut!

@studythensims hello, thank you so much for this ask! sorry i held on to it for so long, it was really nice to have in my inbox to read everytime i went there 🥺 and it really does mean a lot to me, thank you so much!!

hi!

hello anon! i got a similar ask a few days ago where i recommended a sims 4 render tutorial thats pretty much the same as my process. i’m also gonna make my own speed render next time i have a big idea for one but i’m all out of inspo right now lol

thank you very much! however my fire was literally just a transparent png of a flame i put on a plane positioned over the candle 😭 no cool effects here, just plain old trickery. however here are some tutorials + resources i used for other effects i’ve done in the past! i’m also always down to answer questions

grass | mirror | ghost effect | free lighting presets + textures

raffy and roxana will meet sophie in tomorrows post! surprisingly they’re kind of indifferent about her. i knew rafael would be fine with it but i thought roxana might go a bit off the rails, but she didn’t! this was the face sophie made when she saw her though.. i don’t think she was in any hurry to get to know the twins.

i’m so excited too anon!! this high school pack aligned perfectly with the macmahon timeline 😭 i literally am just so excited to have her mess everything up. just absolutely destroy everyone. i really hope suspensions aren’t part of the pack.. she’ll be allowed in for an hour every week before they kick her out again🤦‍♀️

hey!! i’m glad you enjoyed the legacy so far 🥰 i actually do not prepare at all, i went straight in with all original ea townies and i now face the consequences of having hideous townie offspring populating my world. what's worse is they have every pose accessory under the sun attached to them.

the only reason that you see pretty sims in my gameplay shots is because i struggle daily to capture shots where guys like this aren’t poking into the frame 😭 thank you sm though!! sorry i’ve got not advice

fashion icon

@falsetochild he sure is but i am not letting it happen 😭 he’s already broken one gen rule with her, i’m not letting him break another. he deserves to be happy and she genuinely seems to have an interest in him, but no, sorry theo. he literally performed horribly at work the last time i played because he was in a flirty mood for 8 whole hours. c’mon man you’ve got a country to run get your head out of the clouds. but thank you sm i’m glad you enjoy it!!

@acuar-io ahh thank you sm!! i really hope you like the direction i’m going to take it in, i’ve got the majority of it planned out in my notes app lol

after all the set up posts i think they’ll be pretty frequent, and i’m more or less going to follow this structure. i can’t wait either but i know i gotta pace the posts or else i’ll run out of them 😭😭 thank you for your support!!! ❤️

i am a terrible person i completely just leave him in the background of everything at this point 😭 he’s good he’s just not up to much because i’m a sucker for his sister lmaoo. he practices the violin like 8 hours a day in the living room because i forget to cancel the action 🤦‍♀️ how am i gonna cope next gen when theres tons of kids if i can’t focus on two. i’ll try and include him more soon i promise 😔✊

@noiice 😭😭😭 very fitting of her. hopefully not many people make her mad though, teen roxana has the ability to use that voodoo doll she has 😔

#throwback to my fav pic of my fav rat #ask #long post #i hope the anons see this cus i hate doing it all in one post #but i don't wanna spam the dash :((

I think I’m gunna start using tumblr as my dream blog because I’ve been having the most absurd dreams that feel so intense and so real that it’s driving me a little crazy. I need somewhere to vent.

2023/04/10

These dream I’ve been having are so strange that they have been fucking with my whole mood/day. It’s usually dreams about people I don’t have in my life anymore or a time when I was completely unhinged. This dream I had last night was in present day though celebrating my recent 25 birthday, it was set back in my home town at my childhood home but the layout was weirdly different. This dream started with my dad telling me I could only have 3 friends over? Also my dad moved out of this home when I was 13 so i don’t know what was going on there. I obviously did not listen which I never did and invited everyone I knew which resulted in complete random people being there. I then made up with my old best friend which was strangely therapeutic and I definitely felt less stressed during my dream. She felt very similar to me about our fucked up situation and we finally made up it honestly felt super relieving and when I woke part of me believed she might feel that way in real life. Of course I invited all the my old lovers and the first boy I ever loved showed up which is a big shocker if you knew him. This guy and I never dated in real life but we might as well should have. Honestly idk if it was my mental health was so fucked up at the time but he’s one of the only people I remember how I truly felt about and remember all the crazy moments we had together and how real like feeling were. Like I was only 14 I need to chill out but I don’t even really feel that way or remember a lot about the guy I lost my virginity to. I was such a dumb teenager. Anyways In my dream we had hot make out seshes in the bathroom and snuck around the party trying not to cause to much attention to us. It felt so real though like I remember so many little details like where he would touch me, the butterflies I felt like ugh currently I am not dating anyone or feel the need to date so I think I’m just lusting over it more. I also haven’t talked to this guy in a year and half and he definitely doesn’t need me messaging him out of the blue telling him I’ve been having dreams about him which I have in the past but it just doesn’t seem like a good idea no matter how much I want to. I just wish I knew more about his current life, he post nothing on social media and I’ve never been able to find an instagram. Anyways I’ve been thinking about these two people a lot lately and I feel that’s why I had this intense dream it was so vivid and felt so real. There was many other little details that happened that were just completely bizarre but made it so much more surreal. My Dreams have been affecting me a lot recently so I need some sort of way to work through it. Recently I’ve been scream crying in dreams, waking up in a complete panic and feels like I’m out of breath and it’s been ruining my whole mood.

hey um (I know it's deleted now) but that post where you nitpicked and made fun of that seventeen year old's tweet, really upset me as someone who's posted similar things in the past. you're not just making fun of them, you're making fun of others who've expressed similar sentiments. i've been watching the dsmp since I was 14, and now i'm 16 going into sixth form, and I really resonated with the idea of growing up with the dsmp. you didn't need to make fun of it just because it didn't cater to your personal experience, and it didn't generalise in any way considering the op of that tweet was talking to their mutuals and followers (who are similarly teenagers). idk man it was just upsetting to see Like you kind of made me feel stupid for loving the dsmp :(

while i stand by that wasn’t at all my intention with that post, and i was annoyed bc i see tweets that generalize the fandom like that get thousands of likes all the time (this one did as well), i do feel bad if i’ve made anyone feel stupid for loving the dsmp. because it’s not stupid. i love the dsmp, i’ve cried over the dsmp. i would never make fun of someone for that.

i tend to word my posts in a way that gets me in trouble because i’m very blunt and often don’t know how to properly word what i’m trying to say. it often leads to people misinterpreting my posts in ways i didn’t mean to.

i’m genuinely sorry if that post upset you, but i don’t know what else you guys want me to do. it’s deleted and reblog-locked. i’ve explained how that wasn’t my intent multiple times.

and really, a lot of this is frustrating because i’ve had issues multiple times with this person misinterpreting my posts and getting mad about them. it gets really fucking tiring when this has happened 3 or 4 different times. i’ve blocked them now because i’m not in the mood for it anymore.

i don’t like how me posting my personal opinions about a tweet i completely censored the op of is somehow “making fun” of it. sometimes people literally just have thoughts about things.

i don’t know. i don’t like that i’ve made people feel bad, but i’m also very frustrated that i have to apologize for something i didn’t do because other people are projecting intentions onto me that i didn’t have.

you shouldn’t feel stupid for loving the dream smp or being emotional about it. that was never what i said.

#i have no idea even how to word this and maybe i’ll make it worse #but honestly at this point im just tired #discourse

@SAKANADEH’S RULES

I own neither Sakanade nor Bleach. They both belong to Tite Kubo. Not only that but Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy VI belongs to Square Enix. I make zero profit off of this blog and am only here to have fun. nothing more, nothing less. I do, however, own all of my icons / gfx / promos / headcanons / etc. unless stated otherwise. So i'd greatly appreciate it if you neither stole them nor claimed them as your own considering I worked very hard on making all of them.

I am pro-callout if there is proof. I might not always reblog callouts but I do hardblock those who have been called out if there’s enough evidence to support the claim. I know we’re not perfect but if you continue to be problematic in the RPC and refuse to change for the better then you most certainly had it coming. Any callout posts I reblog will be tagged as CALLOUT TW and DRAMA TW for ease of mind.

I refuse to interact with problematic muns. If you are racist, ableist, sexist, LGBT-phobic, and a Nazi bootlicker then I want nothing to do with you. And the same is equally true if you're going to completely disregard all of the problematic themes within Bleach. While I abhor all of the things I listed, ignoring all of the toxic themes within Bleach does not make the problems magically go away. I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not.

Please do not follow me if you interact with any of the following people: Ziro. I’m a pretty forgiving person but if problematic people tend to play the victim, refuse to acknowledge they’ve messed up, refuse to apologize, and refuse to learn from their mistakes then I want nothing to do with them. All I want is for those who have messed up to just apologize and learn from their mistakes. That’s all. I’m here to sit down, relax, and have fun. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’m not duplicate friendly right now. I'm all for people roleplaying as Zanpakutos but I'm not entirely comfortable roleplaying with other Sakanade blogs as of right now. But that doesn't mean that I won't root you from afar!

I’m stuck using BETA TEXT EDITOR + XKIT REWRITTEN. I can’t use LEGACY TEXT EDITORat all because I made this blog after November 26th, 2022. I know this might sound a bit brash but I'd greatly appreciate it if you used BTE with me otherwise I'm probably not going to interact with you until everyone’s forced to use BTE.

I only interact with mutuals who are 18+. Though I am perfectly fine with non-mutuals sending headcanon asks, anonymous asks, and chatting with me OOC. Otherwise, I’m only going to interact with mutuals IC. It just makes my dash cleaner and easier to deal with.

Memes, unprompted asks, open starters, and dash commentaries are the best way to interact with me. I’ve come to learn that I get bored / lose motivation quite easily and rather quickly when doing starter calls. So I prefer sending / receiving unprompted asks, memes, and making open starters as well as replying to them. Now if we plan on doing a specific thread or something then that’s one thing. So I will very seldom if ever be making starter calls and / or like my mutuals’ starter calls because of how easily bored and uninterested I get with them early on.

I do practice mains & exclusives. Though I am extremely picky with whom I become mains or exclusives with due to bad experiences in the past. The number of dupes I will have of one character is up in the air right now so I'll stick with two to three mains per character for the time being.

Call me Shin! My pronouns are she/they. I’m 21+ years of age (29 to be exact) and am demi-bi. I suffer from severe GAD (with frequent paranoia episodes) and mild MDD. Not only that but I'm also in the process of getting tested for BPD. So please be patient with me and my random mood swings and bouts of negativity.

The fact that we have to remind everyone of this is problematic in and of itself. It ought to be common sense that none of us are our muses. Will we share similar traits and have common interests? sure. are there things that fascinate us with our muses? Most definitely. Do we condone everything that our muses do? Absolutely not.

Do not take Sakanade lightly. His Shikai and Bankai are both incredibly dangerous. Not only that but he's the Zanpakuto of Shinji Hirako (5th Division Captain and The Defacto Leader of the Vizards). You mess with Shinji or any of the Vizards and you will, without a doubt, feel the wrath of Sakanade. No exceptions.

I do not practice reblog karma. I’m perfectly fine with you reblogging musings, fanart, gifs, memes, music, PSAs, promos, and callouts from me. In fact, I encourage it. Just don’t reblog my ooc posts, headcanons, and threads without permission. You can like them all you want, just don’t reblog them.

I'm not quite sure on what the shipping status is on this blog yet. But I do know that he's in an extremely complicated relationship with @yumichikah's Yumichika Ayasegawa. I would, however, love to build on his relationship with Hiyori's Zanpakuto (Kubikiri Orochi) and Aizen's Zanpakuto (Kyoka Suigetsu).

I have several verses to choose from. Okay … technically I don't because they're still very much under construction. With that being said, my default verses generally vary between 五 ›› verse ›› tybw arc and 五 ›› verse ›› post series arc.

I can and will be updating these rules from time to time. But rest assured that I'll always be letting my followers know when I update them. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns then feel free to message me for I’ll 100% answer them to the best of my ability!

@HIHIHEBI’S RULES

I own neither Renji Abarai nor Bleach. They both belong to Tite Kubo. I make zero profit off of this blog and am only here to have fun. nothing more, nothing less. I do, however, own all of my icons / gfx / promos / headcanons / etc. unless stated otherwise. So I'd greatly appreciate it if you neither stole them nor claimed them as your own considering I worked very hard on making all of them.

I’m not duplicate friendly right now. I want to be duplicate friendly but I’m also incredibly self-conscious with my portrayal of Renji. This isn’t against anyone who does roleplay as him, though, for I encourage more people to roleplay as my favorite temperamental redhead! I just … can’t handle duplicates right now. I’m sorry.

I’m stuck using BETA TEXT EDITOR + XKIT REWRITTEN. I can’t use LEGACY TEXT EDITOR at all because I made this blog after November 26th, 2022. I know this might sound a bit brash but I'd greatly appreciate it if you used BTE with me otherwise I'm probably not going to interact with you until everyone’s forced to use BTE.

Do not take Renji lightly. Is he temperamental? Yes. Is he self-conscious? Yes. Is he weak? No. Ignoring his pride and being unable to admit defeat and facts, Byakuya chose Renji as his Lieutenant for a reason. He wouldn't choose just anyone to be his Lieutenant. Renji will do whatever it takes to get his point across even if it means beating the ever-loving shit out of someone.

This blog is strictly singleship for the time being. I also don't really ship Renji and Rukia romantically. It's strictly platonic in my eyes. The reason for this is out of fear that Renji would end up losing Rukia again and it being permanent this time around.

I have several verses to choose from. Okay … technically I don't because they're still very much under construction. With that being said, my default verses generally vary between ☾ verse ☽ tybw arc and ☾ verse ☽ post series arc.

@LADYUZUME’S RULES

I do not own the Mortal Kombat Franchise nor Uzume's faceclaim. Mortal Kombat belongs to Netherrealm Studios and Uzume's faceclaim, Kirio Hikifune, belongs to Tite Kubo's Bleach. Uzume is 100% my OC, however, and is heavily inspired by the Shinto Goddess, Ame-No-Uzume.

I am a bit tired of callouts nowadays. About the only times you'll honestly see me reblog a callout is if/when I genuinely find the person incredibly problematic — especially if I've fallen victim from them firsthand. Otherwise it's going to be a hit or miss. Any callout posts I reblog will be tagged as CALLOUT TW and DRAMA TW for ease of mind. Now if the person makes a public apology and acknowledges their mistakes then I'll be more than happy to talk to them again depending on what all they've done.

I refuse to interact with problematic muns. If you are racist, ableist, sexist, LGBT-phobic, and a Nazi bootlicker then I want nothing to do with you. However, the same is equally true if you refuse to acknowledge how problematic many character (such as The Joker) are then I also want nothing to do with you. The reason for this is because fiction is the only real way for people to learn just how problematic people truly are in the real world.

I’m iffy on duplicates right now. I'm going to be brutally honest and say that about the only way I'll follow another Joker RPer is if we speak prior to everything and/or are close friends. This is due to my incredibly low self-esteem and being rather self-conscious about my work. It's nothing against any other Joker RPer, rest assured.

I’m stuck using BETA TEXT EDITOR + XKIT REWRITTEN. I can’t use LEGACY TEXT EDITOR at all because I made this blog after November 26th, 2022. I know this might sound a bit brash but I'd greatly appreciate it if you used BTE with me otherwise I'm probably not going to interact with you until everyone’s forced to use BTE.

Call me Shin! My pronouns are she/they. I’m 21+ years of age (30 to be exact) and am demi-bi. I suffer from severe GAD (with frequent paranoia episodes) and mild MDD. Not only that but I'm also in the process of getting tested for BPD. So please be patient with me and my random mood swings and bouts of negativity.

Do not take Uzume lightly. She is an incredibly powerful Goddess and is capable of fending for herself physically and verbally. She is capable of fighting in hand-to-hand combat, weaponry, and many more.

This blog is strictly singleship for the time being. Now while she is in a relationship with Raiden, I'm willing to explore relationships with her even to the point of her getting in a relationship. But it's really not a requirement all things considered tbh. This is especially true since Uzume is based heavily around my fanfics for Raiden.

I have several verses to choose from. Okay … technically I don't because they're still very much under construction. I will state, however, that my main one will be 〈| verse |〉 keeper of time.

GUYS IM BACK! with another review(I know it’s not saturday shhh!), this time of “when the moon was ours”!

Hello, Tumblrians! I’m back. After a couple months. Life happened. Well, to be exact, death happened(rip Dad, 1964-2023)(someone better not use that against me in an online argument), and I was in a terrible space to the point where blogging felt like an obligation and a chore meant to worsen my depression. I’m back, though! I missed being on here more than I’d like to admit. I wish I could say when I’ll start posting consistently, but the truth is that I’ll continue to get busier and my mood fluctuates frequently.

No, it’s not a Saturday or Sunday, but I didn’t feel like waiting for that point! So.

The first book I read after everything kinda unfolded was Blanca & Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore, but I already have my thoughts on that posted on Bookstagram, so I’ll just link my profile instead of regurgitating my thoughts here.(I usually keep things mostly positive there, and share about books I loved and/or others recommended to me!) One thing I did not say in the review, however, was that sometimes the characters had a tendency to say descriptors that were either similar or the same word-for-word in other chapters, which was kinda annoying. There was a specific galaxy? star? metaphor that was used once in Blanca’s POV and another time in Roja’s, which I guess was there for cinematic parallels but just felt repetitive instead of clever. Overall a pretty great book though and I liked the POV distribution(flowed a lot smoother than another McLemore book with multiple POVs, Dark & Deepest Red).

I suppose while on the topic of Anna-Marie, I’ll move on to another book they wrote! I don’t think I’ve reviewed “When The Moon Was Ours” on here, but it was the second book of theirs I’d read, and I loved it! (Even though that was months ago when I did read it.)

“When The Moon Was Ours” is a 2016 novel written by Anna-Marie McLemore, following two third-person perspectives of a trans boy named Sam(ir), and his close friend-slash-lover, Miel. The two of them met when they were both little, and Miel unexpectedly came out of a rusty water well being taken down. Being scared and frightened by this new environment, Sam became Miel’s first companion and someone she first trusted(before being taken into the care of a young woman named Aracely). Both Miel and Sam have been the subjects of their town’s folklore: Miel’s mysterious origin, combined with her ability to generate roses on her wrist, made her rumored to be a witch. Sam, by proxy, has been looped into that. Present day, the three Bonner sisters(I don’t remember their names, but I remember they were nicknamed “Las Gringas Bonitas”) are hoping to take advantage of Miel’s abilities for their own gain, forcing her to make three roses for them(one for each girl) under the assumption their scent will make boys fall in love with them. In order to get Miel under their control, they’re determined to use every possible secret against her, including Samir’s past.

This story was one of a few novels I read in roughly under a day, for a multitude of reasons: I tend to binge-read books with difficult subject matter or harsh events so I don’t have to stick with them much longer, and I also remember being very entranced in the writing. Finishing it wasn’t an obligation, it was something I genuinely wanted to do and I was so wrapped up in Samir and Miel’s story that I read to the very end to see how all the events played out. The prose was beautifully written, and I thought both Miel and Samir’s arcs were engaging. With that said though, it’s a) been a while since I’ve read this book, so I don’t fully know to the extent that prose might have become repetitive, b) Anna-Marie McLemore has a writing style that’s very hit-or-miss, something I’m familiar with as a fan who’s read six of their books by now. Some think it’s lush, others think it’s a little too flowery. But here, I felt that style added to the unconventional, sometimes “fucked up fairytale” feel of their magical realism. (Which I think is an interesting thing to note, considering that McLemore’s written retelling and also takes inspiration from fairy tales from their childhood for their fantasy/magical realism writing!)

Also, just something I noticed: this is one of a few books I’ve read with names for chapters! Very cool. More books should do that.

Spoiler Section from here until the end of the review!! Tread carefully(or avoid entirely), if you do want to read.

To start, Samir being transgender is an integral part of the plot, which is why I mentioned it in my summary: Yes, I could include that one aspect of that is the harassment and bullying Samir faces because of his identity as a trans boy(his deadname is even used as blackmail by the Bonner Sisters). But he is also coming to terms with him being a boy. Samir’s cultural background involves a tradition called “Bacha posh”, in which girls can spend a period of their life presenting and dressing as boys in order to be the breadwinners for their families or to get more opportunities. The girls are still cis in these cases, but being recognized as male gives them more opportunities and freedom, hence why families with no sons do it. There’s a timeframe for this, though: once the girl reaches puberty, she transitions back to living in female gender roles, which is not always easy to do. (For context, Samir is Pakistani, but I understand that bacha posh is an Afghan tradition. I’ll have to go back and reread the author’s note or possibly parts of the book to see if this was addressed..?) Samir volunteered to become a bacha posh for his family after finding out about the practice, and as a result thinks that the reason for his discomfort in “going back” to living as a girl is due to that, not because of being transgender(even though long past the start of puberty, he presented as male).

And while Samir’s arc is a difficult one to read because of the oppression he faces, both as a Pakistani boy and a transgender one, I remember really liking how his gender identity was presented in the narrative. Sure, it may take him a while to realize himself, but his loved ones(such as his mother and Miel) already know him as one. (There was also a moment where another transgender character recognized his internal struggles and tried to connect with him on that! Kinda..sucks that Samir being in denial and it being an emotionally intense climactic moment meant that didn’t really get to go any deeper, though.) His gender dysphoria was also realistically depicted, in my opinion. While I wish there were more opportunities for transgender joy in the narrative, I still think he was good representation in that regard.

Something I liked was that there was also a consistent air of mystery throughout the book. Part of Miel’s strangeness comes from her vaguely-remembered appearance all those years ago, and Aracely’s just as sudden one. Plus, there’s…whatever the hell is going on with the Bonner Sisters. That’s part of what kept me drawn in, but there were some…just as strange magical conclusions to those plots! Which I vibed with in the case of Miel and Aracely because I liked the possible symbolic interpretation(and..I’m not boring, I like weird sometimes), but with the Bonner girls, it felt like there was an attempt to make a meaningful, even beautiful ending for them. I do not think those three deserved that, considering what they subjected Miel and Samir to(emphasis on Miel, because she’s being taken captive by them and all, but it’s equally sucky they decided to use Samir’s deadname as ammo).

I also just had a lot of questions about the Bonner sisters after I read the book?? Like..were they even people, this entire time, or was the magicked away thing just another part of them letting go of the mortal realm and moving on from the pressure put onto them by their family? (So was that also more symbolic?) How are we supposed to feel about them?? Miel is able to connect with the youngest one in the end, and if I’m not remembering incorrectly, kind of has a moment of forgiveness with them..? Again, considering everything they put both Miel and Samir through(like..they were literally in danger), I don’t feel it’s deserved. It feels too pretty of an ending, like they didn’t get enough repercussions for their actions.

Last point I’ll make! I haven’t talked much about Samir and Miel as a pair/romance. While I didn’t mind them being pre-established, and I think they’re compelling as individual characters, I wish their relationship had more time to be fleshed out. Although my first impression of their romance was positive and I rooted for them, my thoughts have kind of shifted since that time period(evident when comparing my Goodreads review to this one, if any of you follow me there)! There was also a miscommunication problem throughout the book, which was, granted, also a huge part of Miel and Aracely’s dynamic, but it was also present in the main romance(to my annoyance). Which ended up bringing my attention to a prevalent cliché in McLemore’s books! It goes something like this:

Some issue in the plot means that two characters cannot be in a relationship together, lest they jeopardize themself and/or their partner. Feminine-presenting character says to masculine-presenting character they cannot be together, but does not elaborate on the true reason why, and just blames it on not having romantic feelings for them. Masculine-presenting character is devastated but reluctantly accepts this breakup. The two spend some time apart or not as a couple, until even with the current circumstances, the feminine-presenting character can’t manage to be without their partner and goes to both apologize and continue the relationship.

Other books I’ve read in which this happens: Dark And Deepest Red(Lala and Alifair), Lakelore(Lore and Bastián, although it’s more emotional stakes than physical, and Lore’s gender expression varies), Wild Beauty(Estrella and Fel). I have Venom & Vow on my TBR, and I hope it does not also go to that trope because I don’t want to have to deal with that conflict again. It's tired, and I don’t know why it’s so prevalent across Anna-Marie McLemore’s books. I mean, I get the stakes, but…deciding the one way to go about things is to just say you don’t love the other person to make them go away? Feels a little unnecessarily devastating.

End of spoiler section!

Hello, to those who didn’t feel like getting spoiled! I’ll summarize my thoughts without going into detail: I didn’t like how the Bonner sisters(the antagonists of the story) were written and resolved, miscommunication was prevalent in this book and kind of annoyed me(additionally agitating, considering a specific kind of miscommunication present in the book is a McLemore trope), and I liked Samir as trans representation.

Although there’s a fair share of flaws within this book, I still liked it and recommended it to some people a while back. But thinking back on a few things, I’ve lowered my rating down from a 4.75 ⭐.

Book rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars. Content/trigger warnings: Child abuse(described), racism, suicide(attempted, on-page), transphobia.

~Paz, signing off!

Since I’ve started properly frequenting Tumblr now, I’ve been considering posting some one-shots/scenes which I like to write occasionally, but I feel like I need a post explaining some stuff about them first. This is going to be that post.

There is a plot/story of sorts which I have been developing for the past... well, I’m not sure how long, really. I know it started sometime in 2021, but I don’t have much evidence of its beginning other than fics I can refer back to which started it all.

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a coherent story, or state that it has a continuous plot, because that would be a blatant lie. A more accurate description would be that I have created two main characters and various, ever-changing side characters, whom I like to imagine up plots and story ideas to plop them into.

Not all characters always get used, it always depends on the scenario, and the side-characters are always changing at least somewhat. Meanwhile, I’ve also been evolving the personalities of my two main characters.

So, I wanna write down a few clarifications/infos which regard and will be applicable to every single one-shot type post I make on my account.

1. There is no clear, consistent plot and/or story to this. I likely have at least 100 different versions and aus, so while these one-shots will hold similar elements based on my taste, they can all be regarded as being something individual and separate from all the others unless I directly state otherwise. The only thing which will remain the same is the basic premise and the two main characters which will be featured.

2. These can be considered drafts; they’re not meant to be perfect or complete (necessarily), the post will usually just be something I felt like writing and decided to post in case anyone is interested. Although they’re more for myself than anything, constructive criticism and essentially any other opinions are appreciated.

3. While all of the stories will be made up, I draw inspiration from the many fandoms I’m in, and references will be made/similarities will show.

4. Since these are allowed to be all over the place, I usually won’t do a ton of research on how something works unless I’m actually interested in it. I’m bringing this up because my two main characters (and usually every other character) have chinese names. While I did try to look them up, I’m not 100% sure that they’re accurate, as I myself am not chinese. (blame my tgcf brainrot, which was horribly strong at the time of naming them) technically, they have both english and hungarian names too, but the chinese ones stuck the most, and they’ll be the ones I use most often. Despite this, the stories themselves will not be set in china, and I likely won’t use chinese terminologies, pet names, etc.

(two more, almost there TwT)

5. The relationship between the two main characters is, depending on my mood, platonic or romantic. There will likely be ones that can be percieved as either. Regarding the romantic/sexual side: depending on where you live, the relationship could be considered underage, as one of the characters is between 15-16 years of age canonically. While this won’t always be explicitly stated, it will likely get mentioned every now and then. If you have a problem with this, simply ignore my post. No need to make a fuss about it.

6. Finally, some basic background info about the characters. I call them both main characters because the story will be told from either of their viewpoints:

Wei Xiaoshi, aged 15-16

He has an older brother (18-19), an absent father, an abusive uncle, a deceased mother, and a general circle where he grew up, which will usually exist and be mentioned or implied in most posts

Fang Li, aged 29-31

He grew up in a completely different circle, and has a general friend group whom will likely be mentioned often (look out for the names Luo Rong, Hao Yang, and Xue Yuan specifically)

The setting is usually something along the lines of ‘modern with magic/abilities’ (think of bungou stray dogs, not my hero academia) but does venture into futuristic territory regarding technology and medical advancements. Think of it as an alternate, futuristic universe of our own reality, where all of our current online activities also exist or existed once.

I also took some imaginative liberties with human biology, both regarding the magic/abilities/powers, as well as certain ways in which the body can accidentally mutate. I mention this because Xiaoshi is intersex, but not quite in the way that is currently possible (I don’t know why, but this is the way I imagine him, and this is /my/ coping mechanism, so shush). Put plainly, he appears male, is essentially male, but his lower genitalia appear female externally. Despite this, his internal organs are not (he doesn’t produce feminine hormones, doesn’t have a menstrual cycle, can’t get pregnant, you get what I mean). Internally, he is the same as any other male.

Now that I’ve said all that, let’s end the post with two things.

At the beginning of each post, I will write down content warnings, as well as a basic summary of the current setting or situation if need be. At the end of each post, I will link/refer back to this one.

And, I have a spotify playlist for these two if anyone is interested.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6ZyM4im6APyqQ2bM84A31x?si=0ee40cd5fa7f4836

That should be it, I think. Thanks for sticking around to the end. I’m gonna peace out.

Until next time!

Update 2.14.23

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Totally unrelated to my update, but I don’t have a better time to post one. I’ve only got 2 free days this week to work on the game, but I have been doing a lot of designs and worldbuilding for Chapter 2. The maps were almost completed last week and I just wanna make every map going forward better.

I’m excited for the first “summon dungeon”, a water temple dedicated to Mama Cocha. I incoorperated the legend into the plot at Chinchero, which also features another legend, although more loosely incooperated. I really want to showcase all these wonderful myths and stories.

I won’t spoil more, though!

So, art wise, I’ve designed a few of the upcoming important characters and worked on the plot. One thing I’m trying to keep in mind is “How do the trio react to this?” because they’re very different people. Inka’s reaction is especially important, as the lead. This town is the start of big changes for his way of thinking, so it’s a delicate thing.

Enemy designs are also something I’m working on. I’ve designed a few. I like to keep the puns in the names, when I can; or reference something fun. I don’t recall if I included it in the demo, but the Silver Monkey is a Legends of the Hidden Temple reference. He appears in 3 parts. He rewards a lot of good loot. (I also want to say I am aware that LotHT is Olmecian not Incan, but.. 90′s kids will understand.) The idea behind him is similar to Golden Hands (Persona) or Metal Slime (Dragon Quest / Warrior), but maybe closer to the Mitama groups (Shin Megami Tensei) since there are several parts... I also look at the region to see what kinds of ghosts or animals reside there, maybe even smaller gods. I’m incooperating legend even into the enemy design, when I can. In the demo, we saw the golden Condor, which Condors are very respected. I tied this in with a general Incan legend featuring a condor for the puzzle in Sacsayhuaman. To make the player curious, to create awe, that is what I’m aiming for.

I will show off more of the designs soon, once they are finalized... and some other random concept art I’ve drawn that isn’t related to anything in the game inparticular, just a “mood” style sketch. I’ve got to clear out my phone; it’s been yelling at me for a month to “make more space!” but I’m lazy with transferring everything and my scanner is buried under notes and folders and books for the game right now... I keep my research close. I’m terrified I’m going to lose my reference and research sometimes!

Speaking of, I watched a new special on TV. I learned a lot about the chullpas (funeral towers) and how the Inca built on top of the civilizations they absorbed. The man leading the expedition also used drones to see under the brush and found an older site the Inca claimed. It was really interesting! (Side note: Since Titanic [film] had it’s anniversary recently and we saw it for V-Day day this past weekend, there was also a special for that where they basically used underwater drones. Drones are the future, I suppose! Also, I’d love to make a game about the Titanic next... similar to SOS / Septentrion on the SNES but without the bad controls... Yes, I am a fan of Poseidon Adventure [the original and the novel], too...)

I haven’t started the CAMP System yet... I need to make my take on Private Actions (Star Ocean) / Skits (Tales) for these, which I can’t do until the story is done (to program around the plot flags required--one thing I admired about the Lunar series on Playstation was how NPC dialogue changed ALL the time... it made it feel so alive. I would love for the CAMP System to replicate the feel of that.) The player can also cook at the CAMP. I can’t recall if I kept that ability portable after a certain point, to cook anywhere you want... at one point that was what I had, but I think adding to the survival of the game, it’s more appropriate to have it in set locations. Of course, resting at a Camp will also fully restore the party. You just need flint and hay, which are fairly common. So, these stations are like inns. You are generally on the run from the current Sapa Inca most of the game, so many towns don’t take kindly to our trio until later. This was a good resolution for inns and there are many options for the player. You can just rest, or cook, or talk with your party about the events currently going on. There isn’t a relationship system, although the game did start out that way. I decided this was a more linear story and it would only be bloat. However, the little interactions help characterization (similar to the menu bubbles in Final Fantasy IV DS or Active Time Events in Final Fantasy IX). They are not required. Some people hate all the fluff in JRPGs... It makes me sad, you picked up a JRPG but don’t want to read? So, these scenes aren’t required. You don’t even have to use the Camp system if you want to make the playthrough more challenging (no full heals outside items/food). I hope this system makes challenge runs and replays more exciting.

What else to discuss... is there anything from a developer’s standpoint you want to know about? Send me an ask! I would love to hear your thoughts.

I’ve had this blog for years now. And I was depressed for over 13 years. I truly thought things would never get better.. I know you guys have had those thoughts too. Especially if you’re following my blog. I know you hear all the time that things get better later on. But I won’t tell you that specifically. I’ll say, no, it won’t get better if you are not willing to actually change your mindset. I’ve experienced hell on earth too many times. And I know back then, if I read a post like this I would just skip it and continue with my depressing thoughts.. I remember last year 2021, I could finally say out loud that I beat depression. Yes, I no longer feel depressed, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get sad. The journey wasn’t easy. I went to plenty of mental facilities for trying to commit, and they didn’t help at all, it just costed me a lot of money and no benefits. I went through abuse, neglect, isolation, and more. I keep thinking about it and wondering how am I here, how did I make it this far?? It’s hard to change that negative mindset others have created inside of you. I still have my flaws, I still make mistakes, I’m still human. I want you to know that only you can change your life. Even if it takes years, if you just keep going and stay as strong as you can, you’ll also be able to say you made it. And I realized happiness is not a forever thing, it isn’t reality. Every normal human has different emotions/moods. Don’t wish for a forever happiness. Wish to experience life without feeling like you want to d!e. You WILL be sad, hurt, mad, confused, tired, etc. but it shouldn’t be 24/7. So when you get to that point where you feel okay and you’re willing to continue surviving to see what else will come into your life, then I’ll say you’ve fucking made it. First step, stop interpreting every positive thing with a negative mindset. And think realistically. Life isn’t easy. There’s no such thing as a perfect life & complete happiness. I’m sure there’s people that possibly have that but realistically, not really. Second, learn to be able to be alone without feeling lonely. You can’t be “happy” always depending on someone else for your “happiness”. If you can control how you feel during your time of crisis, you can do a lot. Third… have plans/goals. Even if one of them is learning to be able to do that second step. You need goals and plans because that’s you thinking about your future already which just gives you something to look forward to in your life. The goals don’t need to be extreme, take it easy. This sh!t isn’t easy, it takes a lot of PATIENCE and MINDSET. Don’t think you’ll be able to get to where you dream to be in a short amount of time. Remember about thinking realistically. Everyone has gone through different things, even if someone has gone through something similar, nobody will understand what you went through, cause they’re not you. So I know everyone is different and maybe what I’m saying won’t help much but I’m hoping that this will be able to change your mindset positively. I can’t say I’ve made it to where I want to be, because as life goes on you continue making goals and wanting to get further and further. But I feel like I’ve made it to a point where I’m able to stop thinking so negative and that’s helping me get to where I need to be. When I get to where I need to be, I’ll start making goals on how to get to where I want to be. I am just telling you all what you can do to help yourself. I’ve always felt like I’ve been on my own mentally. So it was a huge struggle getting to where I am now.. I really never thought I would still be here. I still think about stuff time to time, of course. It’s trauma from the past. But I’m more in control of my mind now. So I feel okay. And me feeling just “okay” might not sound so big. But it’s the best I’ve ever felt. And if you’ve read this far, I know you’ll be okay too. Cause you kept reading for a reason. I need you to be here, even if I have no idea who you are. You matter to me, and I believe in you. I’m proud of you for just being here, making it this far.

I am a survivor, and you are too.
