꒰  how you start out ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

Okay so! I do think you would have it a bit rough, but you would start out with a pretty decent company/employer. You know, not super rich but also not on the verge of bankruptcy. You would actually need to work very hard because I do not think that at first you would be on the level as other artists in your industry. Which is completely okay, it's normal, everyone starts out from somewhere and if you wouldn't have any talent you wouldn't be there in the first place. Though, I do think this would weight you down a little. You would for sure have to put on a fake smile - very believable one too at that - even though you are weighted down. You might find yourself comparing yourself to others a lot, especially people who have been in the industry for longer, not realising that they have far more experiment than you. This would go away after 1 year - & 2 months - after you start. You would get a bigger accomplishment - a win, a trophy, a privilege, a bigger sell, something like that. -

꒰  first celebrity friends ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

Honestly, at first, you wouldn't have any. Sorry to be harsh, but that's the reality of it, you would have a hard time fitting in, although you would get along well with your colleagues. Not friendly, but you would be treated nice by them. I feel like you might be in a depressive state because it won't be like anything you imagined and the friends you had will slowly fade away. So you would be very lonely and alone in the beginning. Although, as you get to shine more and get more confident in yourself you would gain new friends, and have a closer relationship with the people you look up to. They wouldn't really care about your money, they would be the same list level celebrities as you, and a bit higher. You would earn them because you would become more confident in yourself and take care of your mental health more. Complete 180 if you will. The key is really just taking care of yourself and loving yourself a lot, and not shying away from social situations. That will really help you.

꒰  work history ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

i feel like you would start out really young, as a teenager, about 17? - if you are past that age, don't worry. if you are younger please take care of your mental health. - i honestly think you would have 3 dollars and a dream. you will be pretty famous in the country you will start out from, but not internationally, maybe, just maybe in your home country too if you are a foreigner in that country. You would have to work really hard, but I think after you get to the generic popularity you were aiming for you will stop trying. You will not work harder and you will not try to face new challenges, it will just stay constant and an ever lasting fame, that would be the cause of you not being a popular celebrity, just a well known one. It's not a bad thing though, you would have more peace to yourself and would be able to be more free and less limited compared to the people in your field. Especially with your words! I do feel like you would be most well known and talked about in your early and mid twenties though.

꒰  reputation ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

You would be viewed as very kind and sweet by many, but also as problematic, strict and rude. There would be two sides of the coin, and the general public would choose the worse one. You made a mistake once, and now they are nitpicking you, and constantly blaming you for things. The people you hang around would affect this too, your friends to be exact. You would be blamed for their mistakes. And your company would set you up too because they would see the attention that comes with people bullying you and constantly misunderstanding you, so they would make you do problematic things on purpose. They wouldn't tell you it's problematic though, so you will do it and also so your excuses will be empty by time. The biggest one with this would be with cultural appropriation.

꒰  fans ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

They would actually be very sweet and understanding people! They would adore you a lot for your talent, feel sorry for you and also relate to you in many ways. There would be protest at least once about demanding your company to treat you better. The things they do wouldn't be a secret infront of your fans, infact they would try to spread the truth. A bunch of very hard working lovely people, who are just like you in different fonts. I can see them sharing the same feelings and emotions as you did once, at the beginning of your career. They might be a little bit depressed and find comfort in you. And they also try to do their best to help people and be a good example in general to everyone they can! I am also sensing a lot of grey eras so maybe they have a very complex way of thinking that's more mature compared to other fan bases. I feel like your fans are mostly older too, in their twenties.

꒰  rumours ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

s*x scandal, bullying scandal, smoking - ? - , racist, rumoured to be really rude and a victim of evil editing/hosting

꒰  career end ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

it will simply not end, you will always be talked about. even if you give up, even if you retire, even if you die, people will keep talking about you. you will always be known as someone who lived.

that's it pile one, thank you for reading.

pile two ૮ • ﻌ - ა

cards; judgement, four of wands, balance, donkey, goat, bat, lord wywysil, archangel mariel, cherubim

꒰  how you start out ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

Not gonna lie, you would never have to worry about fame, or not being able to achieve your goals. I feel like you would work in a group instead of alone unlike pile one. It will already kind of be set in stone for you, you would already have a base of fans waiting for you to get going, to publish something. So, that's that. You also wouldn't have to carry every weight alone, I can see you being very happy with your group and having a lot of fun, smiling and being happy. You would have 2 close friends and a very good friendship with the rest of the people. - though, i feel like this group is smaller than a group of 10 - You would honestly not have anything to worry about, everything would be taken care off for you.

꒰  first celebrity friends ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

They would be people around your age for sure! There wouldn't be anyone you are per se become instantly close with but you would make a lot of friends! Not a lot of them would be genuinely though, just a bunch. Some would want clout, some would want romantic involments, only a few would actually be genuinely interested about you, even though you wouldn't start out insane type of famous, they would be able to tell that you will be very much so an a-list celebrity so they would want to cling onto that. However! Your actual friends would love you a lot and would constantly try to help you and share some genuine happy moments with you.

꒰  work history ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

Honest to God, you would most likely constantly have a very reliable and solid career, always popular, always relevant, always gaining attention. However I feel like that down the road, 3-4 years to be exact, one of your coworkers would either pass away or get very injured and it would become a tragedy. I had a vision of it having to do something with a car. It would be targeted, and probably a person that's closer to you? It's the downside of fame. Sick people would always surround you. It would send the group on a minimum of 1 year hiatus. I am trying to keep this neutral but not going to lie this one is a strong music related group

꒰  reputation ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

You would actually be seen as an angel! You would be viewed as very kind, well mannered, funny and up to trend! Honestly it would be especially because of the love of your fans that people hype you up. Of course, you would still be viewed as very cool regardless of that. Strong emphasis on the funny tho, you sound like a mood maker, even without trying. Someone playful that gets along with everybody yet knows their line and keeps boundaries. Someone emotionally intelligent and very sociable. No one would really have any kind of major problems with you from what I am sensing. It boy/it girl/it nonbinary pal! Very lovely, you wouldn't allow fame to get in your head and you would keep being yourself.

꒰  fans  ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

Honestly? A little childish. In a way it makes sense for their age, not in a harmful way. Would be known for being funny but a little dumb. Reminds me of NCTzens tbh. One thing about them? They are going to be supportive !!! You got a birthday cake? Happy birthday bro!!! You have a s/o??? Drop the love stories or else 🔫 They would love you to the moon and back and most of them a very healthy relationship with the fact that they admire you. They would support you a lot and 'break 4th walls' quite often, very self aware and such a fun fandom. They also support your work a lot, and talk about it any chance they get. Honestly just lovely youth that are all a little different but get hype when it comes to you. Very creative too honestly. They might sometimes lie for no reason tho. It's funny.

꒰  rumours ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

gay bar, leaving someones house after a looooong night of being in there, leaking a song, not being able to keep a secret, showering with your friend lmfao

꒰  career end ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

won't really end, you will just always be more popular with people that are around your age/are in your age group ^^

that's it pile two, thank you for reading.

pile three ૮₍๑•ˑก₎ა

cards: the fool, seven of swords, page of pentacles, rhinoceros, kangaroo, dove, archangel mary, archangel butyalil, archangel hope

꒰  how you start out ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

At first you would be very well liked, which would last like 4-6 months. You would be very hype, well liked and would always know when to and how to make the mood. I am pretty sure you would have an insanely good start and many people would like you for your talents and your charisma. Your looks too. I think the problem would occur when you would get too ahead of yourself and cause trouble. Do something that completely ruins your reputation. I am not sure what it is, or if you would fully be responsible for it, but it would have a pretty big damage on your career and you would loose stuff.

꒰  first celebrity friends ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

Your very first friends would be people from the same company as you! Or label, at least. They would try their best to get along with you and treat you friendly. The people who you would connect with the most is your teammates. Not sure how, but you would definitely have some. The people who you would create with would be the closest to you. Although, they too, would not side with you after your incident.

꒰  work history  ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

I am not going to lie, your career reminds me of Jay Park's a lot. He was in a very great idol group, messed up, then became a very successful ceo and even has two labels. You too will experience something of the sort. Because believe it or not, you will come back from the deep ends and shine really bright. You would get way more far and most people ever would, getting yourself more and more up from the depth. You would do expectationally good in your field, and a lot of people would have deep respect for you. Especially those who are younger than you and people in your age group. You might even become rich, and I don't say that lightly. You have both the talent, smarts and mental strength to do so.

꒰  reputation ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

You would be seen as someone very charismatic and cool. You would actually become the role model of many people. Someone charismatic, hardworking, well spoken and intelligent who learns from their mistakes. You would be known for the good mood you are able to create around you and that you are very well liked by everyone around you. Someone that's not scared to be themselves let that be a happy or sad experience. Someone open with their emotions and feelings and aren't afraid to express if there is injustice happening infront of their eyes, yet they are easy going and a chill person in general.

꒰  fans  ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

They are here for a fun time, not a long time. Not much to say, very chill and live in the day people, they focus on the present. They actually don't engage in fanwars and are very mature, they just want to vibe and enjoy whatever it is that you do in peace. They might connect more than other fandoms! They use your work as a form of relaxer and letting go of stress, not to as an extreme hobby if that makes sense.

꒰  rumours ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

something related to mental health, injurying someone seriously, being violent, hitting kids

note; i feel like the haters will make a lot of fake rumours about you with fake evidence.

꒰  career end ”♡ᵎ꒱ˀˀ ↷ ⋯

you will announce that you will be stepping back actually! you would still be talked about and respected once you step down, your life would just be more chill. you would even still get money from your projects.

that's it pile three, thank you for reading.

PROPAGANDA

JANE CROCKER (HOMESTUCK)

1.) Pretty cool character in the comic proper, the alpha kid’s whole thing is just taking a break from the cool plot to have a teenage drama break but she has some quite interesting moments and a personality. Then in Homestuck 2 and the Epilogues she out of nowhere becomes an actual fascist girlboss(/neg) who abuses her gay husband (cause she can’t handle that he isn’t into her despite getting over that already) and puts shock collars w/leashes on her niece who she keeps in a cage and gives dog food. She also suddenly gets super xenophobic towards trolls (despite being very good friends with Calliope who is an alien). All of this to make her an actual fascist dictator. They couldn’t think of a more interesting way to make a follow up story to the most convoluted and lore dense piece of media this side of the afton criticality other than giving one of the less popular a fascism bomb and going “oh shit they’re gonna do the bad and racisms (but it’s against aliens so it’s smart commentary)”

2.) its clear shes supposed to be an inversion of the typical american housewife but she got so caught up in the bullshit going on in act 6 and some stupid romantic drama with her sort-of brother (she didnt know at the time) that any character development was completely sidelined and thus she just stayed at "housewife" without any inversion or character development which just looped back around to being misogynistic

3.) Caliborn (other character in Homestuck) called her an "IDIOT WOMAN." and "STUPID EARTH COW." and a "DUMB BITCH." :(

JADE (DRAGON QUEST 11) (CW: Mind Control)

1.) Despite being a calm and collected big sister protector to the party as well as a warrior princess, Dragon Quest is basically required to have one sexy female party member and with the other two being a girl who looks like a child and the other basically being a nun that left Jade, so despite it not being in her character at all she gets attacks that make her attack enemies with her butt and get the classic bunny girl costume. The worst of it is that there's a timeskip in the game and a lot of the party members get a little side adventure during it to flesh them out more, well instead of that Jade just get's captured by a monster and brainwashed into being a sexy demon for him, and said demon form/her vamp form is just get in the bunny girl outfit but with paler skin and red eyes. And once she's rescued she can go back into that form somehow and get's access to all the charm skills because 'of course'

2.) She's a cool martial artist but she also has skills like Blow kiss and sexy beam that do not fit the no-nonsense fighter she's introduced as. I haven't even finished the game yet but there's a sidestory where you get to walk around as her but a monster puts her in a cursed sexy bunny costume and you can't change her out of it even though the game has a system for cosmetic changes and doesn't restrict it anywhere else so far, also the monster's wife blames her for trying to 'seduce' her husband the monster, the same monster that put her in a bunny costume and keeps being creepy and flirting with her and also captured her and enslaved her. She fights back and beats them both but Booga activates the curse on the bunny suit, and makes her faint. I haven't gotten to the point where she comes back to the party yet.

If NPCs got TFed Headcanons: Remy edition

COW

Wears a tube top when he's lactating. Thinks it's discreet

Tiny horns, knows how to use the tail as a whip

Secretly disappointed his dick and chest didn't get bigger. Think the shitty anime trope.

Wears a hypnotic cowbell

How it happened: drug osmosis from too much bull dick

his centaurs aren't sure how to feel about him. if they should treat him like a lil dumb cow or maintain the hierarchy. his intensive grooming sessions are more interesting now

bad end: getting discovered and being made a member of his own herd

WOLF

How it happened: Saw big dicked wolfboys out hunting and officially was trying to catch some for hybrid testing but kept having fun with them/getting captured by them

Desperately wants to get alpha status but he's an omega.

His fangs are tiny, the more "feral" he gets the less clothes he likes to wear

sad because his centaurs get spooked by him now

bad end: the pack alpha gets tired of one of his best fucks running off whenever they feel like

CAT

How it happened: Drank way too much of both kinds of milk

its a common upper class tf so he's not too pressed

his clothes get fancier and fancier and he takes his personal grooming even more serious, kind of a juxtaposition to his job. hypnotic cat bell

his spoiled tendencies get worse, he's a fancy cat like a chartreux or something.

bad end: there isn't one. might train some Bull servants to feed him milk and pipe him whenever he wants... he's just super spoiled

FOX

idk how it happened. he goes around "stealing" people with the biggest assets he can find. Tiny fangs

HAWK

How it happened: Looked up to the sky and saw a giant dick coming towards him. Attached to the dick was great hawk. His lackeys tried to get him back, but they also didn't want to go deep into the moor.

At least his feathers are very pretty, but he's too scared to fly. effectively trapped on the tower. But is cool with it because great hawk is packing

Bad end: getting returned by great hawk

Angel

Obsessed with keeping the cows pure despite milking them for all their worth. deeply repressed. if he's checking on the centaurs or livestock during a bloodmoon is probably coming back fallen.

Succubus

Adds another layer of depravity to the fluid collection because he uses it as sustenance as well. Tiny fangs, heart tail. Thinks he's giving incubus but really is mothering at being a succubus

#remy the farmer #degrees of lewdity #dol headcanons #i could write sonnets about this middle aged twink #cow and kitty are my favorite tfs for him

Heart Shaped Wound: Yandere Various Baki x Reader

Author’s note: master manipulator Retsu has made his appearance. Gaslight, gate keep, girl boss.

Mentions of: dry humping and kissing

Minors DNI

._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.

    Katsumi’s home was a lot cleaner than she expected. And it was a very traditional home with a few modern touches. This bachelor pad was pretty homey.

    Katsumi took off his shoes, (your name) following his lead and taking her shoes off at well. The two placed their shoes on the shoe rack by the door.

     “Retsu will have a cow if you make a mess.” Katsumi teased with a smile. “He gets super grumpy if I drop so much as a crumb on the floor.”

     “Welcome back, Katsumi. Did you get yourself takeout again? I made some garlic chicken and rice.” A shirtless Retsu greeted Katsumi, the black apron around his neck really painting the picture of a house husband to (your name). So Retsu could cook and he could clean? Maybe she should sick Zaria on him instead of Atsushi? 

    The Kenpo master’s eyebrows raised when he saw (your name). Retsu didn’t expect (your name) to actually show up with Katsumi. Thank goodness he cooked, he was sure (your name) would appreciate a home cooked meal more than takeout. Retsu has always been told he was an amazing cook and perhaps food was the best route to (your name)’s heart.

     Retsu had hopes that she would already find Katsumi clingy. The younger man couldn’t even go a minute without bragging about being with (your name). Perhaps he should make her aware of the situation better? Or maybe Retsu should just be an amazing friend for (your name) first so he can gain her trust? 

    Retsu quickly composed himself, offering (your name) a warm smile and kind eyes. His voice as smooth as silk. “Oh I didn’t know you’d be joining us today, (your name).”

    “Hello, Retsu. It’s nice to see you again, it’s been a minute.” (Your name) gave Retsu a bow.

    “The pleasure is all mine. I quite enjoy your rare company.” Retsu gave (your name) a curt bow, Katsumi narrowing his eyebrows at Retsu in suspicion. Why on earth was Retsu being so kind to (your name)? Retsu didn’t like her, did he? (Your name) was almost a decade younger than him and Retsu always ripped on Katsumi for being young. But (your name) was also a lot more polite than Katsumi was.

     “I made some food if you’d like some.” Retsu pointed over to the wok that contained the garlic chicken. “I can make you up a bowl small enough to not disrupt your date.”

   “That’s very kind of you, Retsu. I appreciate it.” (Your name) smiled, Katsumi crossing his arms, the takeout bag lazily slung over his left forearm. Katsumi wished he could cook if it would make (your name) pay more attention to him than neat freak Retsu.

     Retsu smiled at (your name), flipping his braid over his shoulder to get (your name) some food. A soft expression on his face. He couldn’t wait for her to marvel at his culinary skills.

      Retsu grabbed a small salad bowl and filled it up with white rice and the garlic chicken, making sure to give her the tenderest pieces. Retsu really wanted to impress her because he believed first impressions were important.

     Retsu turned his head to gaze at (your name) who smiled so brightly at Katsumi. The two sharing some playful small talk. Retsu narrowing his eyes in jealousy. Just what did Katsumi have that he didn’t? Was it because he was older than her and that’s why she wasn’t interested? Or was it something else entirely? How was Retsu going to fit into the picture?

      Retsu took in a deep breath, putting back on his mask of the friendly roommate persona. He’d take his time gaining her trust before he began to plant little seeds in her head that she deserved better. 

     “Here you go, (your name).” Retsu handed (your name) the small bowl with a soft smile. “I hope you enjoy it.”

      “Thank you, Retsu. I’ll have to invite you over for some homemade food sometime. Zaria and I cook a lot of our meals too.” (Your name) smiled at Retsu, his heart fluttering a bit before stopping at her next words. “You and Zaria have a lot of similarities. It’s kind of wild.”

     “Oh really?” Retsu asked with a smile, the man doing a perfect job at hiding his disinterest in talking about Zaria. He wasn’t attracted to Zaria at all, she was a bit too promiscuous for his taste. Yet he wasn’t opposed to the idea of dating Zaria so he could get closer to (your name). “She wouldn’t be interested in an older man like me would she?”

     “She usually goes for older guys. Katsumi talked about taking me dancing so maybe you and Zaria could go together?” (Your name) smiled at Retsu, Katsumi smiling at (your name). He was relieved that she wasn’t interested in his best friend but he had thought Zaria was already dating Atsushi. 

     “I’ll have to talk to her about it then.” Retsu bowed. “I’m going to clean up the kitchen, I’ll leave you two be for the rest of the night.”

     “Have fun! You’ll probably be seeing me around a lot more.” (Your name) replied playfully. “Katsumi is insistent I spend more time with him.”

     “Only if you want to!” Katsumi blushed, Retsu keeping a neutral expression on his face. Retsu had his work cut out for him. He needed to make (your name) aware that Katsumi believed they were exclusive and that Katsumi was going to be proposing she live with him by next month. Maybe he should tell her about Katsumi’s little growing collection too? Retsu will see what he can do. “I just really enjoy being with you.”

     “I’ll leave you too love birds to it then. I think I’m going to add some vegetables to my meal.” Retsu excused himself back to the kitchen. Retsu went over to the fridge, pulling out a head of broccoli. 

      Retsu made his way to the sink, running the broccoli under the warm water with his brows narrowed. His tan fingers roughly scraping against the broccoli florets to try ti appease his annoyance. He then reached for the knife with a sigh.

    The Chinese man grasped the handle of the knife tightly with an annoyed expression on his face. There was just too much competition. Too many men wanted her and he couldn’t stand it. Finding another fighter that skilled, especially a female fighter was rare. And he didn’t want to waste a single moment not having her by his side.

      Whatever child she had would no doubt be gifted in martial arts. And he didn’t want a cocky imbecile like Katsumi fathering such a talented child. Chinese Kenpo was much better than karate anyways. Not that he just saw her as a carrier, but he saw her as someone who had potential to become the first female Kaiou with her potential.

     Retsu began chopping the still wet broccoli with swift slices. He needed to cut Katsumi off from her soon just like this broccoli. Before Katsumi completely had her under his thumb.

      Retsu hummed to himself, a smile now on his face. He wondered if she’d want to live in China with him after he won her. And he’d love to visit Brazil as well. It would be lovely to visit each other’s home countries. 

     Oops. How silly for him to think so far ahead. Perhaps Katsumi’s delusional mindset was rubbing off on him?

     Maybe Retsu could ask her to visit a zen garden with him, he was sure she could use a day of relaxation from how energetic Katsumi was. Plus he was sure there were others in the picture. Maybe even an art museum.

      Retsu smiled in thought. He’d have to ask her once he found a chance to steal her away from Katsumi. Just for a few minutes. That’s all he’d need anyways to charm her. 

.

.

.

    “This is my room.” Katsumi opened the door, the smell of clean linen and oranges flooding her nose. (Your name) smiled at the comforting, clean scent. 

      His room was very neat and tidy. It seems Katsumi takes the time to clean up after himself. That or he did a deep clean before she came over but she doubted it. His scent was too strong in this room to be deep cleaned. Plus Katsumi didn’t have to do that to impress her.

     “It’s really cozy in here.” (Your name) smiled at Katsumi who blushed. The young man taking a seat on the edge of his bed.

     “You can make yourself cozy on my bed if you’d like unless you want to take a shower first.” Katsumi blushed, (your name) pressing her lips to his cheek.

      “I’ll take a shower first.” Katsumi rose up from the bed, taking her down the hall to show her where the bathroom was. His hands shaking ever so slightly one excitement.

     “Here let me get you a towel.” Katsumi opened up a small closet beside the bathroom pulling out a fluffy white bath towel. His eyes sparkling at (your name) with joy. “Do you want to wear some of my clothes?”

      “You make me feel like a doll.” (Your name) giggled, grasping Katsumi’s hands in hers. “I’ll gladly take some.”

    “I’ll be back.” Katsumi rounded the corner to grab some clothes for her, a big dopey smile on his face. He didn’t know why he found so much joy in dressing her but he did. Katsumi loved her in his clothes, so she’d always have a piece of him. And he loved the way their scents combined smelled. It was heaven.

     Katsumi hastily grabbed an olive hoodie and gray joggers from his dresser. He debated grabbing her a pair of boxers but he thought that’d be a little too intimate this early on. Then again, Katsumi was already planning their entire life together already. He was in love the moment she touched him.

     Katsumi made his way back to (your name), handing her his clothes. (Your name)‘s soft fingers brushing against his hand to grasp the soft cotton clothes. 

     “Thank you. I won’t be long.”  (Your name) shut the bathroom door with a soft click. Katsumi standing there for a minute, his imagination running wild. 

     Would the two do them take a shower together once they lived together? Katsumi wanted to do everything with her. He absolutely adored her.

     “Katsumi? Why are you blocking the bathroom door?” Retsu asked as he came around the corner, his brows furrowed at the younger man. “I need to take a shower.”

     “Oh! (Your name) is in the shower right now, so I’m waiting for her.” Katsumi replied with a smile.

     “Then wait in your room? Like a normal person?” Retsu raised a brow at Katsumi who flushed in embarrassment. “You’re not a dog, Katsumi. You don’t have to stand by the door.”

     “My bad. Sorry.” Katsumi rushed back to his room, Retsu shaking his head at him. She had already reduced Katsumi to a love sick puppy and she already had caught his interest as well. Retsu wondered if she was a witch, it was the only explanation on how she had bewitched most of Japan’s fighters. 

     Retsu took a glance at the door, he wondered whose body wash she would use. He wondered if she’d like the way he smelled.

.

.

.

      (Your name) glanced at the two body washes in her wet hands. One smelled like orange blossoms so she knew that one was Katsumi’s but the other was amber and mint. An interesting scent combination that was woody yet refreshing and slightly sweet. This must be what Retsu smelled like. It was a really unique scent that she’s never smelled before but it really suited him. Retsu seemed incredibly unique.

     (Your name) took one more sniff of the body wash before ultimately deciding to use Katsumi’s. His scent of oranges blended well with her sweet and spicy scent.

     (Your name) sighed as she ran the hot water down her body, being mindful not to leave any strands of hair in the drain. 

     (Your name) smiled as she thought of making Katsumi dry her hair for her. Kind of like she did last night with Jack... she wished she could’ve spent more time with Jack. (Your name) found him to be more mysterious than she had originally thought. And he was extremely attractive to her.

      She sighed, shutting off the water. She was going to have to make a decision soon on who she was going to date. Hanayama wasn’t a man of many words and he was basically a sugar daddy with some mystery behind him , Katsumi was literally the perfect man who’d probably give her the world, and Jack was wild and manly. Jack was the kind of guy that was a total teddy bear under his tough exterior and he was exciting to her because she never knew what he was going to do. 

      (Your name) wrapped the clean towel to herself, her fingers dancing over the soft fabric of Katsumi’s clothes in thought. Katsumi was sweet and he seemed like he would treat her the best out of all of the men she’s been on dates with so far, it was just how he was a little too eager to settle down right away. And not to mention he was kind of clingy but in an endearing way.

      She wasn’t used to the positive attention. Jun used to absolutely suffocate her with his unwanted affection and he constantly tried pushing boundaries. She was amazed she was able to stop him from kissing her. Katsumi was a lot more respectful and loving. He would make a great husband for anyone, she just wasn’t too sure yet if she wanted him.

     (Your name) sighed before putting on Katsumi’s clothes, his scent instantly comforting her. She really liked him, she just didn’t want to settle for someone this early. At least not when she has so many options.

     She knew it was selfish to sit Katsumi on the shelf like this, but she wanted to date around for awhile. She wanted to see who would be the best fit for her and her lifestyle. Katsumi did check most of her boxes on her ideal match list that existed in her head.

     Taller than her, strong, polite, great relationship with one or both parents, respectful, a good listener, older than her, can make her laugh, respectful of her boundaries, and good at keeping a conversation. But his lack of parental issues kind of made him a little dull. (Your name) just wanted a little more spice in her life. 

     (Your name) wrapped the white towel around her hair, gathering up her clothes in her arm. A content smile on her face. She would see this relationship with Katsumi till the end of it. He was a fantastic guy and he hasn’t shown any red flags so far so she should give him a chance. Who knows, he might end up being the one.

      (Your name) opened the bathroom door, a giggle escaping her lips when she saw Katsumi. Or at least his legs on the end of his bed. Katsumi’s legs were anxiously kicking as he was waiting for her to come to him. Katsumi reminded her a lot of a golden retriever. He screamed golden retriever boyfriend energy.

      “Ah!” Katsumi slung his body upright, his eyes sparkling when he saw her. “I was waiting for you.”

      “I see that.” If Katsumi had a tail, it would definitely be wagging from how happy he was to see her. He was really cute. “You didn’t wait long did you?”

     “Not at all.” Katsumi beamed. He counted every second and minute she was away. Twenty five minutes and eighteen seconds was worth the wait to see her wearing his lounging clothes. They hung on her a bit and she now smelled almost completely like him. This was worth the wait.

       (Your name) chuckled at his starstruck expression, reaching a hand out to ruffle his hair. A bright smile stretching on her cheeks when he smiled back. She dropped the clothes in her arms in the corner by the door to his bedroom. In a way that the door would hide them if it was shut.

     “You’re so adorable.” (Your name) pushed herself forward, wrapping her arms around Katsumi’s neck. His cheeks flushing red from how close her face was to his. Katsumi leaning in to softly press his lips to hers.

      (Your name) gave him a light peck before nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck. She loved to tease him, his expressions were priceless.

      Katsumi was about to explode, did (your name) have no idea she was straddling him? He could feel his pants tighten and he almost wanted to cry. He didn’t want her to think he was a pervert.

     Katsumi flipped them over, (your name)’s back now on the bed as he moved his body to kneel on the floor as his arms snakes around her waist. His face pressed up against her stomach.

      “Don’t tease me too much. I’m still a man.” Katsumi whispered, looking up with his puppy eyes. “I should probably take a shower too-“

      Retsu had already beat him, the door shutting with a click. Katsumi pursing his lips to pout.

     “I think you still smell nice, Katsumi.” (Your name) bent down to press her lips to the top of his head. “How about you pick us out a movie?”

     Katsumi blushed a bit, his hands on his thighs.

      “Do you want a romantic comedy or action comedy?”

      “I didn’t expect you to love comedies but maybe that’s why you make me laugh so much.”(Your name) teased with a grin. “You pick your favorite out. I don’t watch movies much so I’ll trust your taste.”

      Katsumi’s whole face lit up, the young man scrambling to shut the door before he grabbed a movie. (Your name) chuckling at him, her eyes drifting over the the sushi that was sat on the bed side table. Katsumi actually planned out a really great date. She was impressed.

      “I hope you like it. We can eat sushi as we watch the movie. I’ll set a towel down on the bed so we don’t make too much of a mess.” 

      “I really enjoy spending time with you.” (Your name) spoke her thoughts aloud, Katsumi puffing out his chest in pride.

      “I try to be enjoyable.” 

      “You don’t even have to try.”

.

.

.

      The sushi was as fantastic as Katsumi said. Maybe even better. Not to mention the movie was an amazing romantic comedy with a great twist. No wonder Katsumi was so romantic, his entire collection was almost all romantic comedies and romance. It seems he’s been wanting a relationship for a long time.

      (Your name) turned her head to gaze at Katsumi whose eyes were focused on the movie with a bright smile. Should she take the initiative?

      “It was pretty funny wasn’t it-“ (Your name) grabbed the back of Katsumi’s head, pulling him into a sweet kiss. Katsumi’s eyes fluttering shut as he leaned in. Katsumi swinging his body to straddle (your name)’s wait. His hands grabbing the back of he legs to pull her lower body to his.

    Katsumi pressed himself further into the kiss, something hard pressing against (your name). Now this one wasn’t nearly as big as Jack’s, but it was still impressive. (Your name)‘s body unconsciously leaned into Katsumi’s soft rocking as he deepened the kiss.

      (Your name) opened her mouth, Katsumi’s tongue gently dancing with hers. One of his hands on either side of her waist while hers were tangled in his hair. Both panting as they continued kissing and rocking against each other.

      Katsumi moved his lips to kiss the side of her neck, his hands grasping her waist to pull her up to sit on his lap. His hips still rocking into hers. Katsumi moaning when she pressed herself a little closer to him. His cheeks a bright tomato red at the realization that they were basically dry humping each other.

      “(Your name)? Can we-“

      A crash was heard from the kitchen, the two pushing themselves far apart in surprise.

      (Your name)’s whole face a bright red in realization that they almost went a little further. Sometimes she hated when the chemicals in her brain took the lead. Stupid dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin.

     Katsumi and (your name) went down the hall together to see that Retsu was cleaning up the shards of a broken tea pot. (Your name) rushing over to help him pick up the pieces.

     “Sorry. It fell off the top shelf when I smacked me head.” Retsu replied shyly, his dark eye’s studying the disheveled appearance of Katsumi and (your name). “I didn’t interrupt anything did I?”

    “It’s okay. You didn’t hurt yourself did you?” (Your name) took Retsu’s hands in hers, checking for any burns or cuts. “How’s your head?”

     “I didn’t hurt myself too much. Nothing that will inhibit me in any way.” Retsu smiled, his eyes sparkling at Katsumi. “I’m sorry for interrupting with my clumsiness.”

     “It’s perfectly alright. I’m just glad you didn’t burn yourself or anything. I’ll help you clean up.” (Your name) grabbed the broom and started sweeping up the shards of the tea pot. 

     Katsumi’s eyes narrowed at Retsu. Retsu was never clumsy. He did this on purpose.

     Katsumi’s eyes drifted to the slight redness on Retsu’s right knuckle. That bastard punched the shelf.

     Katsumi and Retsu made eye contact, Katsumi now aware that Retsu saw him as romantic competition.  Now they were competing against each other in and out of the arena.

      Katsumi gave Retsu a smirk. He wasn’t going to give up. Katsumi would rather die than let (your name) be with Retsu. Or any other man. She was his girlfriend and if he had to get his parents more involved to make it happen, he would.

     His parents would do anything for him to get married and give them grandchildren after all.

What colours do you associate with the characters? Like if someone says Asmodeus to me "white" because he is bascially a grey ass bitch

Lucifer red

Satan - Red

Beel - orange

Mammon - yellow

levi - purple

Belphie - blue

Hello, anon!

This is actually a complicated question for me! Because when I do headcanon posts, I always use the color associated with each brother's sin for their names. Then the dateables are just whatever I feel fits them, which is usually based on their actual design. So I actually have some colors that I associate with each brother that are not necessarily their sin color. And sometimes I accidentally use the wrong color - especially with Lucifer. So if you're reading one of my headcanon posts and suddenly Lucifer's name is red instead of blue... that'd be why lol.

So here are the colors I generally associate with all the characters:

Lucifer - blue is his sin color, but I barely associate that with him, due to his design I always think of him as red and black

Mammon - yellow is his sin color and I definitely associate that color with him, but also white because of his hair/markings/nails and often black because I just think it looks cool with the other colors

Levi - orange is his sin color and while I do associate it with him a little bit, it's definitely more purple for me on this guy though also blue or like blueish-purple... almost indigo

Satan - green for everything lol, green for the sin but his design is all green, just various shades of it

Asmo - pink for the sin and pink for everything else, too, but also black because black and pink look super cool together

Beel - red is his sin color, but I definitely think of Beel as more orange and even a little bit of dark blue, mostly because of his casual outfit colors

Belphie - purple for the sin, and I think that fits, but definitely mixed with blue - honestly I love Belphie's whole aesthetic, I really associate him with night sky vibes so to me it's all purples and blues, but also black and white like the cow print

Now the dateables have sins that they're associated with that people have based on the color of the glowsticks they use in the OG. I'm pretty sure the devs just went in order when determining who used what, but it certainly adds an interesting concept to their characters. However, I go with my own ideas when making posts for the colors of their names because I don't feel like the sin colors fit them at all lol.

Diavolo - technically pride which would be blue, but this guy is all red and gold to me, so I use red for his name

Barbatos - his sin is greed which would be yellow, but uh no my man is all teal and green and black

Luke - he's next because his glowstick is orange for envy, but I generally associate all the angels with blues and yellows, so I use yellow for Luke

Simeon - his is green for wrath, but again I use blue because that just feels more accurate lol

Solomon - his is pink for lust, but I use purple for him, though his color scheme really tends to be more of a blend of pink, purple, and green, I think... or maybe it was pink, blue, and green? Anyway, it's a little more on the pastel rainbow side of things. But I also kind of associate dark blues with him because of his cloak, as well as black and white.

Wow this response ended up being way longer than I thought it would be! Anyway, I hope I answered the question!

Super Lesbian Animal RPG - Review

"women pr-pretty" the game

Super Lesbian Animal RPG is a very charming RPG maker game I had the pleasure to know about as soon as it came out.

The setting is a world where anthropomorphic animals exist with magic and with modern advances in technology, more specifically though, the story is set on the Sapphire islands.

You follow Melody, a young pink fox trans girl, who just joined a guild with her childhood friend and just recently girlfriend, a hyperactive bunny named Allison, alongside 2 other friends, an absolutely shredded tiger named Jodie, and an overly curious cow who dedicates all of her free time to study magic, Claire, who is also trans.

Melody and Allison joined Claire's guild, The Novas, despite not being capable of using magic, but Claire was prepared for that, she made a ritual she found in a book that would let them use magic.

After starting it they are transported into some sort of astral plane, and Melody is told to pick between 3 doors, which will determine what type of healer she wants to be, something she wanted to be to support Allison as much as she could.

After the ritual is done and some days pass, they are ready to start guild duties, but first Melody and Allison need to go through a made-up dungeon Claire prepared for them in Allison's basement (against her will).

Here is where the adventure starts and hijinks immediately ensue.

The plot honestly surprised me at various turns, it deals with numerous subjects in a tasteful way, and honestly, I don't want to say much about it to avoid spoilers, there's some surprises I don't want to ruin.

I do want to mention the characters though, simply put, I love them all.

Their interactions feel very organic and they are genuinely funny, the characterization is very well done, each character is very unique and have their own arc to go through, even the antagonist side gets to have interactions.

I especially like Claire and her honest to god chaotic aura, I just vibe with her.

Also, have I mentioned the vast amounts of lesbian relationships? I just feel so seen, it's so refreshing to see actual queer characters and relationships created by a queer person, it's as good as I hoped it would be, and I hope it's the start of me coming across more queer RPGs.

Now I want to talk about the actual gameplay, I don't want to give too much away about the characters either.

The combat is turn-based, like you would expect from an RPG maker game, but it's got a neat gimmick, every action a character does that aligns with their role will generate star power.

Each characters has unique skills that use up star power which are very useful, the ones I used the most were Claire's magic that hits every enemy and Allison's directional attacks, which is quite interesting, every enemy has a directional weakness besides their elemental ones.

The flow of battle is a blend between building star power and deciding the right moment to use it, while also managing everyone's health because enemies do quite some damage, it's a satisfying combat system despite being relatively simple.

The exploration is also very solid, for starters, there's no random battles, you instead start battle by making contact with enemies on screen, they also don't respawn unless you leave the dungeon, which makes exploring easier.

The dungeons are nice to explore, they have light puzzle elements and are not very long, they are just very well made.

Another thing that makes them work for me is that throughout the dungeons, the party will engage in conversations, making the whole experience more engaging in my opinion.

The game also has a number of optional sidequests that are very worth going through, some rewarding you with some very good equipment.

It's also incredibly pretty and has an amazing soundtrack to go with it, I just can't give enough compliments to the game.

And that's all I can say about this game for now, I can't really go into much detail without entering in spoiler talk or dissecting every part of the game, which I don't want to do, I really want people to enjoy the game as blindly as possible, it's very funny, charming and honestly it will stick me.

I really want to play it again after a while and try a different sub-class for Melody, and also the game is still getting some minor updates, so I am excited to see what the dev thinks of doing.

So in short, game good, woman pretty, be gay and kiss your girlfriend.

Have you read Kerrigan Byrne's victorian rebels?

Yes. I have issues with some things Kerrigan has written (which I'll get into) and additionally her use of AI art and reaction to (pretty forthright but not impolite) critique of the use of AI art that make it so that, where I was initially in love with the first couple of books I read by her (The Highwayman and Seducing a Stranger) I can't recommend her anymore. My takes on those books:

The Highwayman--honestly great, I'm afraid. Dark and interesting and hot. Love the hero and the heroine. Has one of my favorite sex scenes ever. I own it and I will reread it, but again, I don't feel like I can recommend her in general.

The Hunter--has a lot of good stuff going for it but a) I actually realized later that this has, down to a science, the exact same twist as Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt; I'm not suggesting this was intentional, but where I see people compare The Highwayman to a Kleypas book a lot, that was some general structural stuff, whereas this is THE EXACT same twist b) more importantly, I super hate the hero having a martial arts instructor who gives vague "East Asian" types of platitudes in broken English, it's gross! I also remember this really weird passage about a brown manservant (who is later killed, fwiw) being described as like... really simple... and having "gentle eyes" like a cow or horse or something. It felt gross.

And I will say: obviously, I've read HR authors who've done similarly. It's always bad. What I find adds an extra layer of concern to Kerrigan's work is that it's all relatively recent. You're not picking up a book from the 80s where I wouldn't even expect a (white) critique partner or editor to be likely to call this shit out. I really don't get it.

The Highlander--oh, man. This has the bones of being a sexy Highlander Captain Von Trapp book. And I'll be honest, I loved the leads and their dynamic on a basic level. EXCEPT. AND THIS IS A BIG EXCEPT. For the fact that the hero is a self-admitted war criminal. His angst? Is that he was an officer in the Queen's Army who razed Indian villages to the ground and killed/drove the killings of innocent civilians. And you know what? He feels bad about it, which is why he took a child who was one of the only survivors of one of his massacres and made him his vALET! GREAT! LOVE IT!

I'll be honest, I found so little criticism of this (probably because the book generally isn't popular--I read Seducing a Stranger first, I think, and The Highwayman second, or the other way around, so this was somewhere in the middle of the pack) that I was like "maybe I just exaggerated it in my head" but I reread it and nope, it was uhhhh pretty bad dude. Like, the valet guy then tries to kill the hero and the book is kinda like "well fair" but it's also like lmao? This is the villainous crux of the novel...? And kinda fed into the "untrustworthy sneaky servant of color" thing, which like, YEAH. HE SHOULDN'T BE TRUSTWORTHY BECAUSE IN TURN WHY WOULD HE EVER LIKE THE GUY WHO KILLED HIS FAMILY.

The Duke--I don't remember much of this one tbh

The Scot Beds His Wife--I liked this one a lot back in the day, but I haven't read it in a while so perhaps I missed some horror, can't confirm or deny

The Duke with the Dragon Tattoo--same as the above

Seducing a Stranger--I loved this one; I love Carlton Morley; I really wish there weren't so many things going on with the rest of the series, dude.

The thing is that Kerrigan's issues with race keep cropping up. The Highlander is the biggest example. But I remember there being some weird shit in How to Love a Duke in Ten Days that I honestly, blame is on me here, missed the first go re: fetishized islanders. It's like, throwaway lines where I get the vibe that she's trying to acknowledge that people of color exist in the Victorian era, which good in theory, but it's often patronizing or fetishistic or downright "what the fuck were you thinking" as with The Highlander. They're often servile. It's just not the look, and the thing is that if it happens and an author gets called out and takes that feedback and works on their books... I'm white, it's not on me to say whether or not that's valid. But Kerrigan's work has it repeatedly, and she should know better. Plus, she just seems super bad at taking criticism (I've heard of her responding to critiques of The Highwayman super defensively, in a setting wherein her response was not necessary or wanted) so I doubt she'd work on it.

I think she's honestly a very talented writer, and the two books I say I loved? I loved. I recommended them all the time back in the day. But I did some self analysis and was like "Do you honestly feel good about recommending these books with the concerns you have about the books you're not recommending?" Because there are situations, where one mildly problematic book (say, a book with a slut shaming heroine written 10+ years ago) won't put me off recommending other, ideally later works by the author. But The Highlander WASN'T mild and it wasn't isolated. And after the AI thing happened, it was like--dude, you should know better, you shouldn't be recommending books by someone that gives you vibes this bad.

And I shouldn't have given her the leniency I did after The Highlander. That's really on me.

#romance novel blogging #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #it's just rare that an author who wrote a book i do love as much as the highwayman turns me off THAT much

[ihopesocomic]

I'm late but THANK YOU for pointing out the problems with "make Briarlight a 'real' warrior" Warrior Cats AUs. People often bring up house cats with hind limb paralysis as proof that she would be able to get around fine, but that only really works on smooth tile floor or clean soft carpet, not a wild forest where there's so many things that could injure her. Now, Warriors is not intended to be fully realistic, but that brings up the next point, the arbitrary standard of "usefulness" is ableist in the first place. Briarlight can still be a valued member of her clan and make contributions within her own abilities without hunting or fighting, so I don't get why people fixate on that.

(Also side note, in addition to the hot springs, I also think the difference between her and Diamond re: ability to battle would be due to species behavior. When domestic cats fight they rely heavily on kicking/clawing with their hind legs and pinning down their opponents, whereas lion fights from the videos I've seen are more lunging and clawing at each other's faces/necks with their front legs. And for hunting, lions usually hunt in groups, whereas even cats that live in colonies only hunt solo. It's kind of like how canines and felines can function perfectly fine with 3 legs but horses and cows cannot: different species simply have different needs.)

No problem, anon! I get that people have good intentions but yeah, erasing a disability and/or minimising it is not the solution for bad representation. Even if she became the medicine cat instead of Jayfeather, I think that would've suited her immensely. Especially considering Cinderpelt would've been the ideal role model for her to take comfort in and realise that she still has purpose and talent.

I get that people view the medicine cat role with cynicism because of Jayfeather and Cinderpelt but considering she pretty much became Jayfeather's assistant, idk why the Erins didn't go all the way and have her become a medicine cat instead of making Jayfeather feel he couldn't be a warrior despite having legit superpowers and making him go through that entire arc of feeling useless and demoted.

Briarlight displayed a natural interest in the role and what it required. It appeared to make her happy. She liked helping people. These are all the qualities that should've had her be chosen as medicine cat. It shouldn't have been forced on somebody as antisocial and bitter as Jayfeather because 'lol he's blind'. Which is why it comes across as super ableist. Jayfeather had absolutely zero qualities that make a medicine cat (i.e. the temperament, the interest, list goes on) but he was forced to become one and he had to put up or shut up. Which is wrong.

The entire role of the medicine cat also needed a complete overhaul tbh. The fact that cats are chosen and have no choice to become one obviously makes people look at it with a negative perception and the ongoing theme of disabled cats who feel 'useless' being picked for it only makes it worse. Cinderpelt should've come to the realisation on her own that she wanted to be a medicine cat because she was a kind, thoughtful character, regardless of whether she's disabled or not. Jayfeather should've never been one at all, because it's not what he wanted for himself. Simple. There's nothing wrong with a disabled character taking on a healer role but when they're forced into it because the writing is clearly stating 'well, they're not going to be much use at anything else': that's just shitty.

As for everything you said in the last paragraph: yes, exactly! - RJ

[tethered-heartstrings]

next logical step is they get a little farm. just 2 cows, a couple hens, maybe a goat here or there. will does the messy work while hannibal gets to milk them and grab the eggs in the morning. hannibal gets to care for animals + he knows where his food comes from! win win. maybe they get sheep too, shear them and send off the wool to be made into blankets or sweaters.

they don't get pigs, for reasons

Let me just say cows are a LOT of work and eat a LOT. They are hardier than horses and tend to have less health problems, but they are still an enormous responsibility. And tbh, I don't really see them getting cows, but that is just me.

Chickens are more feasible, and maybe even some ducks as well. They can share a space pretty reasonably and I can see Hannibal wanting the different fat/protein of the eggs for different recipes.

Goats are a more feasible ruminant. Still work but less than cows, based on size and feed. If they get sheep, I imagine Hannibal would learn to utilize the wool himself in some way. He has no interest in keeping animals for profit, he doesn't need the money. He is super extra so I could see him buying all the equipment and making a room in their house just for processing wool and making Will and the dogs sweaters.

I also think they could own pigs just fine. To be honest, it could be a big "fuck you" to Mason. Hannibal and Will would treat their animals with respect and dignity, and not abuse them. Mason was successful because of daddy's money and making people afraid of him. He used pigs and hired guns to do his dirty work. Hannibal and Will do that on their own. Plus, pigs are very intelligent and clean, but they are huge.

Tbh I don't see Hannibal being so hoity toity that he would make Will do the "dirty work". They are equals. If they adopt animals and build a family, the work gets divided fairly. Now if Will preferred that part of the care over the rest, Hannibal would give it to him. But I honestly see them splitting the work evenly.

And as much as Hannibal likes to control what he eats, there is a limitation. He can't grow and raise everything he consumes; that is way more work than a single person or even a couple can manage for the variety Hannibal wants. It is possible if you have very limited ingredients, but he would never keep a pantry so small.

I think the key is Will would want them to be rescues of some kind. Most shelters deal in domestic small animals with some exotics (usually rabbits or guinea pigs). I don't see Will being comfortable adopting anything from a breeder, or adopting anything that could feasibly be adopted by someone else (ie chicks at a fair or something). Not saying there are no rescue cows or chickens, but most of those animals that are "surrendered" like that are not pets but are food animals so they just get slaughtered.

Realistically I see Hannibal wanting to put more effort into growing fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc. rather than animals for their products.

5 stars

Ashlords was LITERALLY a breath of fresh air. Holy cow y'all this book was SO freaking cool! Phoenix horses!!!! This book also gave me really good Hunger Games vibes but felt completely like its own thing.

I loved the concept of the phoenix horses dying at sunset and rising back up at sunrise mixed in with alchemy. The alchemical part was pretty cool as well that it gave them unique talents or armor or weapons, but never felt overpowered. The fact that ashes could be poisoned or you could be completely unprepared or do it wrong with the material or timing.

The background of this world was also really interesting! From the Dividans, The Reach, and the Ashlords. It makes the world feel rich and full. The gods too being within the world and active. I just want to learn MORE especially about Quinn and where she originally is from.

I liked all three of the characters! Imelda's anger and cleverness. Pippa's drive and ambition and her hopes. And Adrian's duty. The only two things I didn't particularly care for was: Pippa's chapters being in the second POV because I wasn't sure what it tried to accomplish unless to put the reader in the headspace of an Ashlord but I don't think it was executed well; Adrian, despite being old enough to drink if I remember correctly called his father "Daddy" and I just HATE that lol.

Anyways, the race was super cool. The world fascinating. The characters great.  I absolutely want to read the sequel.

ESC 2022 Semifinal 2 recap:

(if you see me reusing my jokes for the final no you didn't) and once again also just a general warning for mean gay bitchy judging ahead, this is my one time a year that im mean it's like lent or smth, you have been warned. if you're not into bitchy shady opinions then uuuhhh i recommend reading something else for your own peace of mind tbh.

skits at esc still are so painful dear god opening: well that's 5 minutes of my life i'm never getting back laura's biceps HELLO???? and this look?? FAB!! the ruffles! the wet hair look!!!! the deep lip!! officially obsessed mika has now decided to be a LEMON realtor popsicle, go off i guess the presenters giving licorice rasperry lemon fantasy. or the flag of germany, i guess? if it's not in the right order don't bother me i can't read the fucking clock correctly it's nothing personnel

Finland - what the fuck is this yellow IT moment??  i either end up super biased for finland or holding them to a higher standard and this time uuuuhh i expected better. also i don't think a song about a toxic woman who clearly isn't good for you is particularly feminist (idk if they claimed it was or if it's just my announcer but???? nor using a kind of degrading word in that context? so that's kinda weird) also i'm curious to see if the board is unhappy with this one bc i heard that they had issues with albania and latvia ( :// ) and while i obviously don't want any numbers punished or censored but i'm expecting an annoying double standard tbh where showing skin and suggestive text is fine if you're a man or doing it through a male perspective, i guess :/

Serbia - i wish i could understand the text so i could know what's happening but i also appreciate the non-english. it seems so interesting and fascinating, generally im confused but interested and intrigued, ART. genuinely so into this

Azerbaijan - i really do like his voice and his beard is very pretty. and i do really like this song tbh, it gets the ballad pass although it's just barely not quite engaging enough for eurovision imo. a fantastic vocal performance tho that sounds genuinely sincere and a good song.

Georgia - i fucking love this, ngl. the looks, the sound, the aesthetic. love how odd it sounds. totally a dnd party vibes. we've got officer druid, punk pirate man, glam goth plague doctor, and steampunk willy wonka. this is a psychadelic mess and i'm living

Malta - ig model? doing a power ballad? groundbreaking. *insert miranda presley*

San Marino - love the cowboy hat moment. the song is absolute ass. i do respect rhyming cowboy with sex toy i suppose. bit hypocritical for me to say this and obvs måneskin doesn't own rock gender fuckery (hello, have you SEEN rock?) and it could just be being yourself and trying to piggyback for that purpose but it feels just. a little too derivative maybe. but like a soft derivative, i don't think it's anything worth making some hubbub about

Australia - okay ART. the met gala could NEVER. it's personal, it's honest, it's art, it's fashion, it's vocals, it's real, it gets a ballad pass any fucking day from me. i'm THROWING ballad passes. legit love it genuinely love everything, it's art, it's fantastic, and i fucking love that the song's about his experiences as an autisic person, bc relate. one of my favs now

Cyprus - okay art reference, go off venus! kinda love it with the stage fountains. obviously not the most over-the-top energetic but i appreciate that, still very full of life and a bop with a more lowkey energy, a whole moment tbh. lovely vocals

Ireland - esc back at it again with the pop a whole decade too dated.

North Macedonia - i legit forgot a number was on

Estonia - i usually say that i'm into folk music but not country because country's sound is just too polished and that won't be changing today

Romania - started with what might be the gayest interpretive cow milking in history, which might not seem as a particularly spectacular achievement but with all the farming in stage musicals, it is fairly impressive. i was going to say that i was into the cutout jumpsuits but the pattern is truly horrendous.

Poland - we have now arrived at my least favourite esc genre, which is man in suit on empty stage with a single spotlight and the singer's moody face agressively imposed in the background. just agressive crooning, endless belting, and high notes. not even being about water can save this song for me, which says a lot because i am a complete sucker for water songs.

Montenegro - poor girl got impaled by an umbrella, no wonder she's in pain

Belgium - i mean it's fine. he's clearly a good singer. i wouldn't be mad if it moved on, but i also don't really care if it doesn't

Sweden - i know it's moving on but i fully cannot stand it. it's trying so hard to be robyn. but no one will ever be robyn.

Czech Republic - i'm not mad at it tbh. like her look and the vaporwave inspired background. slightly less dated than a lot of other eurovision pop, giving kinda 2018. I do appreciate the man with the bow on the electric guitar

the world always needs more Mika, i've been saying this for years. also laura looks stunning it's giving decadent vampire retiring for the evening posed casually on top of a decadent staircase. I do think these kinds of songs might not be what her voice needs though, it's very strong and clear and clearly needs a bit more circumstance and force, unfortunately. Mika is giving the exact same suit but now as a polar bear realtor that fell into a strawberry patch. he really saw that suit on the clearance rack and said yeah i'll take at least three of it, thanks

I Do Not Care about these men in leather suits. a sentence i never thought i would say but here we are, i suppose

Laura serving an even more dimitrescu-esque look i love

Spain - yeah it's a dance song. you can do a lil shimmy. don't super care. for being as energetic as it is it feels weirdly lethargic

UK - well we've got a camp stage, i am stealing his jumpsuit.

Germany - looking forward to another german bottom placement, this is tanking for sure.

Voting thoths: "We have a valid result" yeah we'll see about that buddy

my literal reaction to belgium's qualification was 'who the fuck is belgium' LMAOO azerbaijan may not be the most eurovision but it might be one of the actual best songs this year POLAND????? finland?? finland gets a spot but latvia didn't????? RIGGORY.. thamkg god australia made it because i would have rioted ugh serbia is art and im happy to see it here, so deserved!!! very sad about georgia. was kinda expecting it, but i'm still upset. i am def checking out their other stuff after this tho.

For sure rooting for australia this year! <333 This one was less of a tragedy so i won't have too much trouble falling asleep tonight, even if a lot of things moved on that certainly did not catch my attention at all.

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2008): Back to Basics

I don’t think I will ever understand why Espi was so popular. I mean, having the award named after yourself is pretty cool (since he died from cancer before even hitting his thirties), but two of the solo projects I’ve played make me question the quality of his WADs. Ruma was good but it had problems (with Super Slappy and other new sound effects being sub-par as one of these problems). Meanwhile, Suspended in Dusk might look good, but aside from that, it leaves very much to desire in other aspects, along with (in the best case) some of the problems that were haunting Ruma before.

And so, we are here today, to take a look at his last solo project that has been highlighted in Cacowards.

G6: Back to Basics

Main author(s): Esa Repo (Espi)

Release date: December 16th, 2007

Version(s) played: 1.1

Required port compatibility: Vanilla

Levels: 9 (Episode 2 replacement)

Back to Basics, as the name suggests, is an episode 2 replacement that focuses on being an old-school Doom WAD – abstract structure with vanilla compatibility for the lack of better words. With the first half being made out of the old project Espi had getting dust at that moment (with E2M1 dating back to 2001 if you look at its solo release).

I may sound harsh, but it will take a miracle for me to have fun while playing this WAD. After all, it’s on the first Doom, and considering the stuff Espi did that I played, I don’t have high expectations for this WAD.

Without wasting any more time, let’s take a look.

When it comes to vanilla standards, Back to Basics looks rather good. I think there is at least one area per map where it starts looking really great. Unfortunately, I feel like at least half of the content is suffering from the Quake Syndrome, where there are a lot of brown areas/locations. There are great-looking places as I said, like the ones where you have to pass by/through demonic flesh and guts; it’s a shame though that you have to suffer from the aforementioned brownness to get there.

At least there are no annoying new sound effects. That's always something.

Unfortunately it all goes further downhill when you start taking a closer look at maps’ design. I feel like this WAD repeats the mistakes that I mentioned in my Suspended in Dusk review, where the maps feel like overly complicated, mangled mazes that exist only to needlessly add time to your playthroughs.

It even has moments where you are forced to backtrack the large parts of maps just to press a switch/grab the key/go through the freshly open door that is right in front of you. One section of E2M2 where you have to press a switch to get access to the red key will make you go through one, godforsaken location 2-3 times depending on where you end up first just to grab this bloody key.

Even when (sometimes) it looks like you can go through the window that you will clearly fit, well guess what? Fuck you. It is actually an invisible wall.

Also, it might be only me, but I feel like there is at least one moment in at least half of the maps where you have no idea where to go and what to do, and you run around the map like a headless chicken to find that one switch/door to interact with; or at least that’s how it feels on the blind playthrough; other times it was much better.

There are even secrets that I feel like only the master of SR40/SR50 strafe running will get to. You might as well fly/force jump/noclip there if you haven’t lost your plot already.

And by the way, if you think about nuking the shit out of the siege cow at the end of this WAD with your secret BFG, guess what? Fuck you part two. You are forced to Pistol-start E2M8. Why? Because we need some of that additional chore to do. Fun? What’s that?

The only map that I legitimately like is the secret one. It has an interesting way to get to it, and its concept is fun with a bunch of floating islands with castle fortifications each. And it didn’t feel that much of a slog to play through.

Speaking of a slog, however, fighting monsters is one. Do you like shotgunning demons for at least half of the playthrough due to saving more powerful weapons for more than 1-2 Cacos or one Baron? Because Back to Basics will guarantee you that. I can’t even properly think how hard this WAD is; it’s just boredom.

I do realize that the problems with boring fights are more of an overall problem in Doom I WADs (probably because I feel like people make them as if it were for Doom II rather than Doom I), but there were WADs for Doom I that came before this one and there were ones that gave me more fun than BtB. This WAD (and many more in the past/future) would benefit greatly if most of the maps cut the enemies' amount and their size by around half of its current content, but that’s just me.

Back to Basics is only worth downloading for E2M9. Otherwise, it is a waste of time that offers nothing but a nostalgia trip to the first Doom if you are not into this.

You might be thinking that the next WAD to tackle will be BGPA Missions, the sequel/spiritual successor to Operation Overload created by the same dude, but no. After the experience I had with its predecessor, I don’t want to waste my time on BGPA. I might check it after dealing with the last WAD from the 2008 roster, but after the Enema Dude FooF, I am doubtful of that happening.

Instead, we will take a look at something different. But before that, there are previous parts of a certain trilogy to talk about.

Get some cereals people. This is gonna get slimy.

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #166

Are you interested in any reality TV shows? I like some like cooking shows or other competitions when I'm watching TV with others, which is the only time I ever watch television anyway. Historically I've fucking adored animal documentary series, like Meerkat Manor or Orangutan Island, and I remember I loved one featuring rhesus macaques as well, I just don't remember its name. I am VERY interested in watching animals just live their lives.

What’s your favourite thing to have on toast? Light butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Childhood delicacy, man.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever had to deal with at your job? So much social anxiety that I would end up in the bathroom having a total meltdown regularly. For external things though, just impatient people.

Do you think being born was a mistake? No.

Do you have a large dog? If not, are you afraid of them? We currently only have the smallest species of dog lol, but we've had a boxer mix before. I'm not afraid of them at all, I love big dogs.

What is something you used to always do but don’t anymore? Once upon a time I lived off of soda, like it was ALL I drank for many years, but I've cut back immensely, I'm working towards getting to a point where I'll only drink one personal-sized (not a two liter) bottle a week. I enjoy soda more than I do eating, and I've absolutely noted that it can bump my mood up quite a bit, so getting to where I am now is a big fucking deal if you know me.

Has anyone ever told you that they loved you, and you didn’t say it back? Yes, that's when I realized things had gone too far.

What’s your favorite hairstyle on the opposite sex? I sincerely love emo hair help 😭

Have you ever done a Mason jar craft? No, but I find those SUPER cute.

Who is your favorite photographer? Anastasiya Dobrovolskaya tops the list, her work is SO dreamy, and the animals featured are all humanely owned.

Were you shy in high school? Yes, but I'm way worse now.

Do you wish karma were real, or are you glad that it isn’t? Oh I very much wish it was real, but it's quite obvious to me that it's unfortunately not.

Who are the cutest babies in your Facebook newsfeed? None lol, I only have one friend with a child who is truly a baby instead of at least a toddler and god I love this person but the baby is NOT cute lol, but I very rarely find very young babies to be cute anyway.

Are your ears pierced more than once, if at all? Yes, I have two on each earlobe, and my right tragus is pierced. I want more.

Did the last guy/girl you kissed have any piercings? Nah, he's not into piercings for himself personally.

Do you actually love your parents? I most certainly do.

Do you know anyone autistic? My niece, and I am FINALLY being evaluated for it myself I want to say next month. I know I have at least one autistic acquaintance, too.

How about someone bipolar? That I'm already diagnosed with, type two. My oldest sibling is also bipolar, but she has type one.

Do you believe in celebrating anniversaries? I celebrate yearly ones, yes.

What was your very first pet like? He was a long-haired (I'm pretty sure silkie breed) orange and white guinea pig named Squeak. <3 He loved attention and was such a character, always gentle and we'd do excited guinea pig squeaks back to each other haha. <3 He was sadly kept in an inadequate cage (you know, the shitty rectangle ones you find at chain pet stores that are actually horrible for them), but I of course didn't know better with how young I was, but he was always a good boy. I'm thankful he lived the proper lifespan for the little guys, I just wish I'd been aware enough to give him a more enriched life.

What’s the coolest hobby one of your friends has? I actually really find D&D to be super interesting; I have multiple friends who do it and wish I had that level of comfort to do stuff like that without being embarrassed by it, I NEVER could do it, I'm way too fuckin awkward.

Have you ever pet a cow, a sheep or a pig? I've pet a small pig. <3 I'd love to pet a cow and sheep too, though!

What is the wallpaper on your best friend's cell phone? IT'S LITERALLY JUST FUCKING GRAY I DON'T UNDERSTAND HIM LIKE WHY

Do you like your girlfriend’s/boyfriend’s parents? I adore his mother, she's such a fucking sweetheart with a ginormous heart and is SO damn accepting. She's been an absolute darling to me ever since she met me. I never met his dad, he died of a very sudden heart attack or something similar like over ten years ago, so I'm not comfortable making a judgment about him. I know Girt's always explained him as having been a hardass, but a very caring one that loved his family to death. He's mentioned that me and him are quite different, primarily politically, so we might've butted heads but he was ultimately pretty confident that he would've loved me. I really like hearing stories about him, and pictures are always super cool because holy SHIT Donald Sr. put his fuckin face through a copying machine and plastered it onto his son lmfao, like it's unreal.

Do you like Polaroid photography? YES, I find it super super aesthetically pleasing and so nostalgic; I myself would really like to have one to take fun little pictures with it sometimes.

Is there a friend of yours who curses nonstop? Who would that be? Haha you mean me? Girt's even worse than I am though, he's one of those people that will curse freely in public, not to be rude or provoke people, but because he just straight-up doesn't realize he does it. He's the person who has more than once gone "SHIT I shouldn't be cursing" NOT quietly in public lmao, I've sometimes just had to give him a lil nudge for him to realize when in public or around kids. Girt is extremely intelligent, he really really is, but he will often just do things very mindlessly and without evening beginning to realize that he's doing them.

What internet browser do you use? Chrome.

What do you usually do to let your feelings out? Listen (usually very loudly) to music, vent to people I trust, sometimes do artistic stuff like write or draw. I cry very easily, and sometimes doing that will help relieve stress. On VERY few occasions I've screamed into a pillow, and boy does it feel good when I'm REALLY upset enough, even though I absolutely hate doing it. Even though I know factually it's harmless and is even a good way to ease frustration in a way that doesn't hurt others or property, I feel like an aggressive person the few times I've let myself do it and just really don't like that.

What was the last thing you uploaded/plugged into the computer? Uploaded, a picture from my phone. I last plugged in my phone to charge; it fits the charger for my mouse so I can use it when I'm in here.

Are you participating in Project 365 (you take a picture of you/something every day of the year and post it)? I've considered doing this with photography, and I'm certain it would further train my artistic eye, I just... haven't. I'm not really one to take pictures with my real camera unless I really desire to take a certain picture, I don't just trash it up with random things. I honestly should let myself do this though, I KNOW it would be beneficial as an artist.

Do you have a Flickr? If so, post the link. Yeah, it's Ozzkat on there, but I don't use it very much at all. It's a lower-priority art platform for me, I mainly focus on deviantART despite the fact I quite dislike the website now for how aggressively and unabashedly it endorses AI "art." I've just been there the longest and have the biggest following there by far, so...

Do you think it’s dumb when a band smashes their instruments, or do you find it totally radical? I honestly do find it dumb, like... why. Why destroy what is generally a great quality instrument if you're a band playing it on stage to an audience. If you want a new guitar or some shit, just donate or even SELL the damn thing, don't break and waste it.

Have you ever made a gif? If not, do you think it’d be interesting to make one? I've made many over the years for various purposes, yeah. I tend to go through episodes of making them and then not.

When you feel uninspired, do you feel like you need to go somewhere to become inspired? Not really, actually. I tend to become inspired by observing others' artwork and stuff. It is very much about the content I surround myself with.

Have you ever lived on a university campus? No.

Do you play any games on your phone? Only Pokemon GO. I would like to be able to play more, but my phone is trash with VERY limited memory, I've had to delete plenty of things just to keep that one game updated and therefore playable, lol.

Have you ever shaved your face? Yes, there's this tool I use that's not quite a razor, it's a vibrating tube thing that looks almost like a lipstick case, but I use it on my upper lip, chin, and I've started to use it between my eyebrows too.

What was the last vaccination you got? It was a tetanus vaccine refresher, I think?

Who’s your favorite rapper? And your favorite song by this favorite rapper? Eminem, and probably "Love the Way You Lie," I was OBSESSED with that song when it was new. I also like "Space Bound" a lot, though.

How about your favorite band? And your favorite song by this band? Oh fuck. For Ozzy it's proooobably "Trap Door," but I'm also very much adoring of "See You on the Other Side" (actually listened to it today) and "Mama I'm Comin' Home." The Rammstein song I enjoy the most in terms of catchiness/most often in the mood to listen to is "Zick Zack," however I consider my ultimate favorite by them to be "Stein um Stein" because it's a fucking artistic storytelling masterpiece imo.

Has anyone ever made a promise to you that they’d change? Who? Juan probably did at some point in high school.

Have you ever had any painful dental work done? If so, what? Oh yes, I wasn't afraid of the dentist until recent times when I was finally paying for neglecting my teeth due to depression and I now realize also executive dysfunction issues later in the timeline. I had a lot of cavities, a few that were quite severe, and fixing one required me to get a numbing shot THROUGH THE ROOF OF MY FUCKING MOUTH, like I could FEEL the needle go through and deep into my fucking gums, and it was my worst EVER experience with a needle, that shit HURT. I'm finally getting better with taking care of them, thank fuck; I think seeing how severe the consequences were becoming really kicked my ass into gear. It doesn't matter if I hate my body, it's my responsibility and I'm going to do all I can to make it better and comfortable to live in. I also had braces for a large chunk of growing up, and getting them tightened always commenced a very painful few days afterwards for all of my teeth. I recently had a wisdom tooth yanked out, and while the numbing shots did suck, they definitely used an adequate amount of it 'cuz I sure didn't feel anything other than pressure. I only got scared when the tooth broke, the sound made me jump.

Is there anyone you’d like to apologize to? Jason. I doubt I'll ever get the chance, but god do I wish I could express how sorry I am to his face. I also want to apologize to Sara for how I severed our friendship, I should have been more direct (I had my honest reasons for thinking it was better not to be so confrontational, but I know now that I was wrong in that part), but I know it's better that I don't stir up settled dust. It's better for both of us that we just don't have contact with each other. Like yes, I think it would help me to just get my apology off my chest, but when you consider I don't seek reconciliation with her whatsoever, it'd be a pointless amount of possible upset.

Could you go a month without talking to your best friend? HELL NO, we're dating and serious with each other so even going a day without some amount of contact is out of the question for us. A month without talking to him would be MISERABLE.

How has your style changed since you were in high school? Well back then I was your average emo kid, still pretty emo at heart but a bitch is wearing comfortable shit these days, lol.

What was the last new drink you discovered that was delicious? Strawberry banana smoothies.

What is your favorite way your hair has ever looked? Probably how it is now, but when it was newly dyed a seaweed-y green.

Have you ever had a teacher that also taught your parents? No, neither of my parents grew up in NC. Well actually, during my last college attempt I DID have an English teacher that previously taught my mother like a semester prior; she got her degree only a few years ago.

Where’s the nearest GameStop near you? Shit bro, probably not even three minutes. It's in the same complex where our Wal-Mart is.

What was the last thing you took a video of? Probably either Roman or Cookie being silly.

What’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken? Overdosing on cold medicine.

Do you believe your ex cares about you? No. Maybe he does, but I'm not so sure about that.

What was the last compliment you received from the opposite sex? Girt said something about me being a positive influence, which meant a lot.

Have you ever been to an orchard? No, but I'd REALLY like to.

Who was the last family member of yours that died? My maternal grandmother, that I know of.

What is your favorite color for cars? Pinks, of course. I am also a big lover of burnt orange cars.

Do you have any gay family members? I know I have at least one on Mom's side, it's like her distant cousin or something, I'm not entirely sure on what he is to her.

Did your last relationship end because of you or the other person? She instigated the breakup, so her.

Would you be upset if you caught your boyfriend looking at porn? No, I know I'm an extreme minority that gets zero enjoyment out of porn. I'd only be bothered if my partner seemed more into watching that than doing things with me, his actual girlfriend. I don't know or care if this is something he does when I'm not around, and if he does okay cool, I don't feel like I'm actually competing with a porn star or whatever. I suppose maybe this would depend on who my partner IS too, like I deeply trust Girt and what he feels for me so the idea of him watching it does nothing to me. It's not like he'd actually pursue his favorite porn star or whatever.

Have you ever had crabs, turtles, or lobsters? I've had a few hermit crabs in my life and very briefly a turtle that I shouldn't have even had.

What is your favorite type of cat? Oriental shorthairs!!!!!!! I REALLY want one of these one day.

What if a friend asked you to go with her to get an abortion? I'm walking in there right beside her and holding her hand if she's fine with it. She will have NO doubts that she is loved and supported.

Who of the opposite sex has seen you at your worst? Either Jason or Girt, depending. The night of the breakup when Jason very briefly came over to check on me because of shit I said, I was FUCK-ING HYSTERICAL, but Girt came to the ER following my suicide attempt because I tagged him as someone I directly wanted to say thanks and bye to, and I feel like that was truly my lowest point ever in life, in that hospital bed with an IV in me wearing scrubs. I was ready to die and was so done with existence, I was dirty and hideous and crying but he stayed for a while anyway.

Are you sitting in a spinning chair? Yes.

Are you one of those people who will not use a public washroom? I definitely avoid them if I can, but I'm more comfortable going depending on how well-kept the place is. For example, I'm WAY more comfortable using the restroom in like The Cheesecake Factory versus a gas station, haha. If I gotta go though, I gotta go, I just do the thing where you place toilet paper over the seat.

Have your parents ever disapproved of the person you’re dating? Like, the person I'm CURRENTLY dating, or any partner I've ever had? Either way I think no; I know they've always approved of Girt, but I suppose Dad might have not been thrilled about me dating a girl once, but I really have no idea what exactly he felt. As it turned out Mom didn't like Sara either, but it had nothing to do with her being another woman, she was fine with me dating a girl.

Were you raised by someone other than your parents? No.

What’s the last chore you did? Vacuumed.

What is your favorite jungle animal? Very close call between tigers and clouded leopards. I'm also quite fond of kinkajous!

Is your father injured? He has a bad back and has for a very long time, but I don't think he has any noteworthy, current true "injuries."

Are you part Native American? No.

What are your pets’ names? Roman, Venus, and Cookie.

Have you ever worked two jobs? No, I can pretty fucking much GUARANTEE I would never be able to do that.

Who is the oldest sibling in your family? Katie.

What are some of your happy thoughts? Being with Girt, a hopeful happy and content future together, the idea of being a successful photographer who gets to travel a good amount, having a poetry book published, be surrounded by well-provided-for and loved pets one day... just a lot of visions of the future I want.

What are the names of all the dogs you’ve ever owned? Trigger, Angel, Teddy, Dale, Delilah, Harley (maybe? I can't remember if she only stayed with Ashley?), Cali, Bentley, I think her name was Lola (we had her very briefly), and now Cookie. Maybe one more in there somewhere, I feel like Mom's mentioned a dog's name that I don't remember at all before.

Would you ever get a face tattoo? I'd NEVER get a big one, but I'm doubtful I'll even get a tiny one. I'm quite sure I don't want any on my face.

How much was the rent/mortgage at the cheapest place you’ve ever lived? I have no way of knowing that because I've never been involved in the finances of anywhere I've lived.

Who in life have you felt the strongest need to protect? Uhhhh... that's hard? There are multiple people who come to mind, all in different sorta ways, but I SUPPOSE the absolute strongest would ultimately be for my older sister's three kids. I would fucking kill for them, with ZERO hesitation.

What is the cruelest thing a person has ever said to you? I really, really enjoyed being called a spineless, weak-willed deadweight that exaggerates her trauma, that was super cool.

Who do you think was the worst criminal in history? Probably Adolf Hitler, but idk. There have been many sick people, but Hitler definitely left the biggest impact with I'm assuming the largest casualty numbers in his name.

Which laws would you most like to change? Abortion needs to be a GLOBAL right, heightened gun control is FUCKING mandatory, LGBTQ+ rights should be a guarantee everywhere under the sun, capitalism should fucking burn to the ground, and I know there are SO many more, I'm just drawing a blank atm while knowing I'm missing very obvious shit.

Who is the person you most wanted to have an affair with but didn’t? I can confidently say I've never wanted that.

Who have you most feared in your life? My dad.

What is your strongest reason for your opinion on abortion? The being that already has a novel's worth of thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires, and memories comes WAAAAAAY fucking before the developing cells that have none of those. Full fucking stop.

What one natural thing would you most like to see? Aurora borealis.

[justforficsjules]

Hello my doodles and darlings! (I’ve decided to start my writing posts of like that so you can separate them from the other stuff.) I’ve finally got something to post for y’all! My one follower, and whoever else may see this. I was doing a school assignment, when halfway through it became a rant about the failings of a certain author I dislike very much. After that, I decided I would follow the muse. From that came a new series I’m going to be doing…

A Love Letter to Stories

Ah, fantasy. A staple of many a childhood tale, the place where Rapunzel and her impossibly long hair live, alongside genies and magic wish-granting fish and cows. Fantasy stories always have a whimsical air about them, and are relatively easy to write. Just gather up a few fantasy or fairy tale staples (elves, dwarves, giants, dragons, the fey) throw them together with a plot, complex or simple, and you have a fantasy story! Super easy, right? As easy as it may seem to be to be at a first glance, I speak from experience when I say that writing a fantasy story, as with any story, is harder than it first seems. It’s very difficult to balance the fantasy aspects with some form of realism, and using too many tropes is an easy pitfall to fall into. Source; was not a great writer growing up, used too many tropes, the story sucked, pretending it doesn’t exist and never happened. What fantasy story? Nope, the only fantasy story I’ve written is The Paladin and The Witch (teaser for upcoming work~), and that one’s not anywhere near finished yet. Fantasy, I find, is a very nostalgic genre, chock-full of childhood memories and hidden meanings. When one opens a fantasy book, one never knows what to expect, primarily due to the inherent fluidity of the genre. Fantasy novels are versatile and always make for an interesting read due to their interesting mixture of incredibly unrealistic elements (i.e dragons) and – hopefully well-done – realistic and interesting characters. I believe that fantasy as a genre is so interesting and entertaining because it gives the author unlimited freedom with their world. Urban Fantasy restricts authors, somewhat, to the rules of our world, they are bound to a certain degree of realism and accurate portrayal of the current issues of the time period. Fantasy authors have no such restriction. What happened in the year 25 of the Holy Calendar? Why Gimwald the Well-Endowed (Gods rest her soul) established the Holy Order, of course! Oh, you want a source? TOO BAD, THIS IS MY STORY AND I REIGN SUPREME! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You can’t do that with Urban Fantasy. What happened in 2020? The world went to shit and millions of people died to what some people are still insisting is just a bad cold. Not exactly the thing that makes people feel better about life. I’ve been very blessed to read some very good fantasy books. Some of them being; Narnia by C.S. Lewis, the Girls of Paper and Fire series by Natasha Ngan, the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland, and The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. I’ve also read some that weren’t my favorite, but were still pretty good. For example; The Inheritance Cycle series by Christopher Paolini, Children of Bone and Blood by Tomi Adeyemi, and The School for Good and Evil by Sonan Chainani. These weren’t bad stories, they just weren’t for me, and they were still pretty good.

Thank you, my doodley dearest darlings, and good day to you!

#daily cow #breed: zebu #continuing the theme of old cow breeds ! #zebus are even older than chianinas #as well as being pretty they are also super interesting cows #they're the oldest domesticated breed of cow #actually being sometimes considered a subspecies of aurochs ! #they appear in various paintings+scultpures from <20 bc #zebus originated from india (though they can also be called an african breed) #i believe the bull capital of Ashoka (sorry if i'm messing that up since i don't know much abt Buddhism) is a carving of a zebu cow #they were also engraved into coins used in india during 20-21 bc #they also seem to appear in some egyptian wall paintings circa 1350 bc #so safe to say they're an extremely old breed !!!

Falling Asleep on Them Headcanons

Lucifer

So you were in trouble right?

Yup, you aren't even sure what you did this time.

But here you were.

In Lucifer's room.

Getting a talking-to that's been going on for like 3 hours now.

At this point you were sitting beside Lucifer on his bed.

Kinda looking towards him, but not really paying attention.

But he just kept going on and on.

Eventually you started to get really sleepy.

Ah that's right, you were in trouble for staying out so late...

You tried to fight the drowsiness fearing you'd just get in trouble again.

That didn't work so well.

Soon you were slumped over, fast asleep.

Lucifer felt your weight on him and he knew immediately you had fallen asleep.

That may or may not have been part of his plan.

To be fair, he originally was just going to give you one of his extensive speeches about following the rules.

But once he saw you were barely staying awake, he decided to take advantage of it.

Can you blame him?

You look so adorable when you sleep.

Just don't be alarmed when you wake up tomorrow in Lucifer's bed all snuggled up in his sheets.

Mammon

He was over at your room.

Again.

You were watching a compilation of the best Lord of Fools moments from the TSL anime.

Mammon was crying, but that's besides the point.

You held on to his arm in order to comfort him.

"I-I'm fine, ya dummy! Ya think the great Mammon needs someone to hold him??"

You managed to convince him it was for you instead of him, so he let it slide.

Not that that was something difficult for him to do.

The warmth that radiated off of him was calming, so calming infact, that you couldn't help snuggling into his side even more and drifting off to sleep.

At first when he noticed, Mammon nearly freaked out.

"W-Wha' do ya think your doin'?!"

But upon confirming that you really were asleep.

And since no one else was around.

He let his true feelings show.

He gently moved your hair from your face as he gazed upon you lovingly.

The position might have not been comfortable for either of you, but he didn't dare move for fear of waking you.

He didn't want the moment to end.

Leviathan

You were watching an anime from the human world.

The original Dragon Ball.

You wanted to show it to Levi because you thought he'd enjoy it's quirky humor.

But you didn't have the same magical energy that "Master Otaku Leviathan" had.

You really couldn't stay up all night as much as you tried.

It was well after midnight when your head fell on his shoulder.

You fell asleep without meaning to.

To say that Levi nearly died would be an understatement.

What was happening?

What were you doing?

This sorta thing only happens in animes!

And not to guys like him!

Right?

Yeah, if you woke up you'd probably be upset at him for allowing this...

B-but maybe not?

Levi was happy, scared, excited and mortified all at the same time.

He tensed up so bad that he was in more muscle pain than you when you woke up.

Satan

So this was a pretty usual occurrence actually.

Whenever you would read together, all cuddled up, it often ended with you falling asleep with your head on his chest.

Depending on the book (like if he knew you actually liked it) he'd stop reading and set the book aside.

He'd hold you and stare at you, mesmerized by the soothing rise and fall of your chest.

He'd stay wherever you were until you woke up, sometimes falling asleep himself.

But if couldn't sleep, he'd stroke your hair and enjoy the simplicity of your breathing.

Asmodeus

You were sharing a bath in Asmo's super cushy bathroom.

You were wearing bathing suits, something Asmo half-heartedly pouted about.

He was going off about style and devilgram drama.

As much as you wanted to listen to him.

Because he was undeniably cute when he was honestly passionate about something.

You were starting to feel incredibly sleepy.

Probably because Asmo had kept you up the entire night before.

Just doing each other's make up and gossiping. (Get out of that gutter, please.)

You were kinda worried you'd drown if you fell asleep in here, but you knew Asmo would keep you safe.

So you eventually gave in to sleep.

Asmo noticed when you sank a bit lower in the water.

"MC? Are you-- Ooh~ How adorable!!"

He tried to keep his squeals of delight as quiet as possible.

He failed.

Thankfully you were well an truly down for the count at this point.

He wanted to let you sleep so he could just watch your cute sleeping face.

But he didn't want your skin to get pruny and dry so he did his best to carry you back to his room without waking you.

You did wake up, but just slightly.

All he could make out from your slurred, half-awake talking was his name.

He could have died from the cuteness then and there.

Though, not gonna lie, he was really curious about whatever you could be dreaming about.

Pushing that thought aside (for now) he set you down on a towel which he had placed on his bed and, after getting dry, laid down beside you.

He couldn't help but stroke your face as he too drifted off to sleep with a smile.

Beelzebub

Okay, so you know how after you eat a lot you get really sleepy?

Well there was a big meal today, since Simeon showed up offering to cook Celestial realm food, and you jumped on the chance to stack your plate with heavenly goodies.

Through the meal, you were very aware of Beel eyeing your plate as he ate across from you.

You knew what he was thinking.

There was no way you could finish all that food.

And usually he would have been right.

You felt just about ready to burst.

But it wasn't every day you got to eat Simeon's cooking and, damnit, you were going to enjoy it!

It also didn't help that the way Beel kept hungrily eyeing your food made you all the more possessive over it.

It was your food!

And you were gonna eat it!

And that was a mistake.

You ate way too much and after your stomach ache went down all that was left was sleepiness.

And so that led to Beel checking up on you while you laid on your bed in receding pain.

He was reasonably worried after watching you eat much more food than you should physically be able to handle.

When he asked you how you felt you only responded with a groan and beckoned him over.

When he sat down on your bed, you placed your head in his lap.

Beel felt warmer than after eating a super spicy double cheeseburger from Hell's Kitchen.

So he happily let you sleep as he rubbed your back, hoping to help you feel better.

Belphegor

You honestly have no clue how you ended up falling asleep quicker than Belphie.

Well, you were pretty tired already from studying so much.

And your tutor did keep insisting on being a bad influence.

And when the person who's supposed to be helping you learn is purposely trying to lull you to sleep, going so far as to put his favorite cow patterned pillow under your head...

It's kinda hard to stay awake.

Belphie was really upfront about having no interest in studying, preferring to just cuddle and nap.

But when you persisted he "agreed" to help you study.

He knew sleep better than anyone, so putting you to sleep would be easy.

By the time you did fall asleep however, he hadn't expected to find your head on his arm rather than on his pillow.

Not that he was complaining.

He was definitely not complaining.

But now that he had you, he wasn't planning on letting go until he was no longer sleepy.

So if you don't like cuddling, you might want to get used to it.
