hi, I’m not great at requesting things but if this makes sense could you write a high school au where Jason is a football player. I think it would be cute cause he’s definitely tall enough and strong enough but then add in him being kind and wow he would make the BEST high school football player boyfriend. Thank you
⛧° Jason Grace x Nerdy! Reader hcs °⛧
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
content: jason grace x reader, college au!
warnings: cursing, allusions to sexual stuff (not much tho), stupidtly fluffy and corny.
a/n: bby if i tell you i dreamt about this, would you believe me? like, i swear to all the gods, i dreamt with this and woke up thinking about writing it… well, here ya go. oh, and i also made her a brazilian, i hope you don’t mind? if you do, just ignore it, please 🫡
⛧° 。 ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆༺♱༻⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 。°⛧
Of course, he’s a great football player.
Like, i know no shit about football, i’m a soccer girly, but he’s the best quarterback in the city. like, he’s really really good.
And obviously everyone believes he’s such an asshole and a womanizer.
But in reality he’s so so nice
Sure, he sleeps with some girls and all, but not as much as his teammates.
He’s also the only jock that sticks with a girlfriend. Not for long, but still more than the other guys ig
So when he was having trouble with maths, he needed a tutor, cause he had to have a back up plan of he didn’t went for the pros
Such a nice boy, fr.
And he went talk with the teacher to ask who could teach him.
And that’s when he found you.
You weren’t exactly a super nerd. You just liked to study.
But you had a lot of friends, since being the only exchange student did bring this sort of popularity around the university.
And when he first came to you, you were kinda bitchy.
You know, you had a bit of hatred towards football players. No idea why, it was just there.
Even with that, you were too kind-hearted to don’t tutor him.
And when you got to know each other… you kinda started liking him.
On your first study session, the library was too full, so you went to the outside
Which was really working out, till Jason found a little bird that probably fell from his nest
The guy was so worried that he almost took the bird home
He would’ve done it if you didn’t stop him
But he found the nest and put the little bird back there
And you just stood there, like “what the fuck? isn’t he supposed to be a douche?”
It happens that he’s not.
And you became pretty good friends with the frequent study sessions and all.
Not to mention he was pretty offended when you told him you didn’t like football.
And you were very offended when he asked if the spoke Spanish in Brazil.
He knew it didn’t, he just did it to piss you off.
He really wanted you to go to one of his games, but you never said you were really going.
So, one day, when his team was having a match against Briar University, he was more than surprised to see you at the stands, right in the front.
With his jersey. With his number and name on your back.
He honestly felt he was gonna cry right then and there.
He got so happy he made a touchdown. They won.
And you were there, cheering for him and pretending like you understand anything that was going on there.
When the game ended, he came rushing towards you.
“Congrats, Gra-“ Before you could even finish your sentence, he kissed you.
Oh, and it was heaven.
After this, you started dating and it was the best thing you ever experienced.
He was such a gentleman.
Doors? Don’t even touch that. Dates? He’s paying, duh. You’re tired? He’ll carry you, bridal style.
You get the point.
You started liking football because of him. And he started liking soccer because of you.
a/n: i don’t know what to feel about this lol. idk what you’ll think of the brazilian thing, but if you don’t like it, i’ll remake it, promise!

Coming out of my self-imposed tumblr ban cuz this is the third post I see along the lines of "man we gotta jump ship" so here are some other ways to be social/do fandom/ect. I'm not gonna call them "tumblr alternatives" because I won't lie to you these are gonna be very different experiences from tumblr. But if you use tumblr as a way to meet new people/post your thoughts/do fandom/keep up with folks, then maybe one of these is worth looking into.
COHOST
I don't use Cohost so idk if it's good or not, but all the people who use it tell me it's A Whole Lot Like Tumblr. Got pretty mixed reviews on this one, people seem to either love it or hate it, either way you could check it out it's free.
PILLOWFORT
My main bitch, so I can actually talk about it.
Pros:
Lots of cool privacy features
Porn is allowed
Website has been consistently getting updates and listening to the userbase
No ads because it's user-funded
Cons:
Being user-funded means the website is frequently struggling with money
NEOCITIES
This one isn't really a social media, it's a host for websites.
Pros:
You can do whatever the fuck you want here
Cons:
You have to code it all yourself
If you didn't immediately skip this rolling your eyes, here are some ressources to get a blog running with minimum efforts, and a cool zine to figure out what to put on your blog.
FANLISTING
Ye Old internet way to find new peeps in your fandom. It's a list of fans. I'm listing thefanlisting.org here because it's the biggest hub of fanlistings out there, but there are plenty that aren't listed so if you've got a topic dear to your heart it might be worth googling up "[fandom/ship/character] fanlisting" and see what turns up.
Pros:
It's literally just adding your name to a list of fans. Low spoon effort.
Cons:
If you want to talk to any of the people on the fanlisting you have to actually manually contact them via email or website or whatever they provided for contact. High social anxiety effort.
Anyways that's all I got chief. You probably already heard of half of those and the other half might have made you go "hey wtf that's not at all what I use tumblr for why would I need these" and the answer is it's not my problem. I discovered these when looking for ways for me personally to do social media so if you do social media differently sorry I can't help ya. But hey maybe you'll discover something new who knows.
Preemptive answers to things I am sure will clog my notifications for years to come:
None of these are like tumblr! Look bestie this is like the fifth time people consider abandoning tumblr at this point you have to make your peace with the fact that there is no other website like this one.
The websites you mentioned are nearly empty there's no one in my community here! Bro if you want a website with lots of people you don't need me listing off where you can go you already know where people are going (aka: Bluesky) If you're so scared to be alone then invite your buddies to move there together so you can chat together idk. Be the change you want to be in the world.
I'm not gonna use these. Then you've got my blessing to not use these. I assure you you don't need to reblog this post just to tell me you won't use these. I don't care.
Anyways. Peace. Dunno how many people this is gonna be useful to, but if you wanted to branch out of the usual reddit/bluesky/twitter, hopefully this will help.
Bunch of pillowfort invite codes under the cut since I got a bunch. Sorry I got no cohost as I said I don't use that one.

Okay.
I only meant to make one SJM post cause Ik how certain girls like to tussle
But since the gwynriels and elucians decided to mess w me EVEN THO I SAID TO LOOK AWAY IF YOU GET EASILY TRIGGERED…
There is only one thing to do:
Talk more about why Elriel is not based in delusion — unlike some ships (not naming names, if you take offense that’s your mind questioning things)
Again, I am giving my PERSONAL OPINION. I even said at the end of my last post that I am not the author and I will love & respect whatever SJM does, which some of y’all can’t echo. That’s sad. This is a fictional world.
DISCLAIMER: if you’re easily triggered by elriel/elucian/gwynriel…l o o k a w a y
DISCLAIMER#2: I am unapologetic cause this is my page :)
Also, stop hitting my line with the “I wasn’t going to respond to this but…” or “you’re so anti…” like 1, if you weren’t going to respond, then don’t. It’s not that serious where the world is BEGGING for your opinion. And 2, I’m not anti anything, I’m pro-logic, again if that offends you then that’s a convo for you and you not you and me.
Now onto the main event…
Azriel
Tumblr media
My mans is being dragged through the mud both in the books and online. We say we “love him” but are ignoring what he wants and babes, that’s Elain. If you don’t like her personally, that’s not how Az is feeling, that’s how YOURE feeling. Gwyn has one chapter (+1 sentence) of where I can even attempt to grasp at what Gwynriel’s quote as bible, but again, AZ AND ELAIN HAVE 3 BOOKS. Y’all are acting like Rhys in Az’s bonus chapter and if Rhys couldn’t make his stance acceptable, y’all definitely can’t.
Elain
Tumblr media
Again, I say, if you do not like the lady pictured above, stop reading ACOTAR cause she ain’t going anywhere. To be so for real, I didn’t mind Elain at first, meaning I didn’t care whether or not she was included in any story whatsoever. But as I read ACOWAR and ACOFAS, I started realizing that there’s something so lovely about having a character who is innately good and wants/practices peace in a world of animosity and ugliness. She brings beauty in all areas of her life and I think that there’s nothing bad about being “boring” cause that just means your life ain’t a dang mess (*cough* *cough* everybody else in this book)
Tumblr media
So here is where I debunk all the claims I have grown tired of ignoring:
• #1 - “He hadn’t gotten that far into his planning beyond the fantasies he’s pleasured himself to.”
Tumblr media
(Picture credit: unknown) Get a good look cause that’s what he’s doing at night when he thinks about ELAIN. (It’s canon, so cry to yourself)
So, y’all really think you got us here, huh? So, my man Azriel blatantly admits to thinking of Elain when he wants to be intimate and y’all STILL want your girl to be with this man?
Ugh
Anyway, so Azriel hadn’t planned a relationship with Elain…OKAY???? Did you expect this man to have a map laid out about how he’s going to steal Lucien’s mate??? Do y’all even know Azriel? Like, be so for real rn.
Idk about y’all but when I have a crush on someone, I’m not thinking about how to steal them from the rest of the world, I’m imagining kissing them or going on cute dates. Not how I’ll actually make it happen. And ik y’all do that too with your favorite celebrities so stop playing.
He has a crush. Can you let the man figure out if Elain even wants him to act on it before he plans a 12-step mission on making Lucien disappear forever?
Azriel doesn’t want to force his emotions on anyone (as seen with Mor) so of course he’s not going to act or plot without confirmation that the other person in the party wants that. I.E. why he hadnt tried anything with Mor in all the CENTURIES that he liked her.
So, yeah, consider that point invalid.
• #2 - Lucien is Elain’s mate
Tumblr media
(PC: @shauna_the_author) *sigh* This one cannot be dubunked, unfortunately, because it is true. You got me here.
BUT
Elain is more likely to marry Nuala and Cerridwen before she spends the rest of her life with Lucien.
And it has nothing to do with Lucien. It really, really doesn’t. Elain simply doesn’t like him. Y’all were in my comments like “oh he didn’t really sell out Elain and Nesta, he didn’t know”. OKAY. But Elain literally says in ACOWAR that she knows Lucien as two things: Feyre’s friend and the MAN WHO SOLD THEM OUT TO HYBERN
Who cares if it isn’t true, that’s what Elain thinks and with her in mind, you can’t say that this bond means anything more to her than Lucien having some ownership of her which she doesn’t like at all. She even tells Graysen that she doesn’t care Lucien is her mate (“I belong to no one, but my heart belongs to you.”)
Whereas with Azriel, my girl is practically skipping into his arms; talking with him about her dream garden, getting him not one but two solstice gifts, almost-kissing him, recoiling at Cassian’s dagger but actively using Azriel’s…
Idk about y’all but if someone who was fated to be with me was acting this way with another girl, I’d drop him like a hot potatoe. AND AS LUCIEN SHOULD. He deserves someone who wants him, not someone who, as even Lucien said in ACOWAR when he was questioning if Elain was “worth it”, is shackled to him.
I harbor no ill will toward this dreamy man, but it ain’t gonna happen so do Elain a favor and lose her number, k?
• #3 - Sarah wouldn’t do the 3 brothers with 3 sisters, it’s too cliche
Tumblr media
Write your own book then. Fan fiction is a thing. If the ONLY thing preventing you to see reason is the possibility of a cliche in a book about kingdoms and fairies and magic then your priorities are so out of shape I won’t even spend the time explaining it to you.
This is SARAH’s WORLD. If she wants to be cliche and have the three female protagonists end up with the three male protagonists then let her. Omg.
• #4 - That Gwynriel scene tho
Tumblr media
(NOTE THE PICTURE) Oh, you mean the bonus chapter that featured thoughts about Elain? Not that one? Oh, then maybe you mean the other bonus chapter that featured thoughts about Elain? No? You mean the scene with Gwyn…hmmm
OH! You mean the 2 page conversation about training and why he couldn’t sleep (cause of Elain) and the subsequent regift of Elain’s present to Gwyn. Yeah, I know about that but why are we talking about it? Cause that means Az likes Gwyn? Huh?
That’s how delulu y’all sound. And if I hear another “you’re the ribbon Az”, one more time I’ll scream. THE RIBBON WAS ABOUT TRAINING NOT GWYN WANTING TO SLEEP WITH THE MAN. We are talking about the same girl who hadn’t left a library in god knows how long because of a sexual trauma and y’all are forcing her onto another man??
Gwyn was focused on coming into herself and mastering the ways of the Valkyrie. Nesta meant Gwyn found another obstacle in Az that she would have to overcome to become a Valkyrie. The only man Gwyn was concerned about was Cassian and that’s cause he was getting it on with Nesta. Again, be so for real right now.
I refuse to acknowledge this point until the opposing ships acknowledge the 3 books (+ ACOFAS) of build up between Elain and Azriel.
• #5 - Elain doesn’t belong in the Night Court
Tumblr media
This is the last point I’ll mention cause I actually feel bad for dogging the Gwynriels like this, but it had to be done. (Elucians get a pass bc at least their ship is based in evidence)
Elain doesn’t belong in the Night Court, okay, yeah Cassian said that the colors drown her out, I’ll give you that.
But Elain doesn’t know where she belongs anymore, just like Azriel has said about himself. She’s still figuring herself out and what she wants, so it’s okay she looks odd at times or feels at times out of place. Azriel keeps his shadows out 24/7 for the same reason. He doesn’t let anyone past the front he puts on unless he knows it’s safe to. They’re both figuring out how to live their best lives in their current lives.
I’ve heard Dusk Court theories and others but I won’t even repeat those (even tho they’re so good and you should definitely look into them). They just need to find their place in this world (and Cassian was right, Elain DOES NOT BELONG in the Hewn City).
Just like how Nesta didn’t believe she belonged in the Inner Circle, I believe there’s a place for Elain and Azriel where they can be themselves. They just need to find it I.E. their book.
-
Okay, that’s enough slaying of my enemies for one post. Again, this is just my opinion/theories and at the end of the day I’ll be happy with whatever Mrs. Maas gives us as long as she gives us something.
Act correctly or else I’ll be back.

i LOVE ur writing n it’s perfect because i need to consume more media abt the black phone. could i request the black phone x reader where reader is rlly feminine? idk how to word it sorry i hope u get it😭😭
The blackphone x reader
m.list
Them with Feminine!reader
cw : fluff/crack / reader has no distinct gender but is feminine !!(they/them will still be used!!)
a/n : I understand this in a way (I think??) I hope everyone else understands too, and I'm hoping this is what you meant whsjsh😭
(After writing this I think this is just more of a really pretty and kind!reader oo my bad whsjsh,also this will be pretty short whdjd)
Finney Blake :
Doesnt know how to be around you
Like he's always so nervous, whether it'd be your very kind and soft personality or you're entire style that take his breath away
He's like just amazed at how pretty you can be dude :C
You : Hey Finn! What are we doing in class toda- you good??
Finney(sweating) : never been better!
You : okay??
he will try to compliment you and by try I mean he'll walk up to you, stare at you like you're a God, look down, then walk away
And you're just standing there with your friends wondering what that was all about
Friend : huh?? Was he gonna ask you out or something
Robin (from the sidelines) : he was gonna say you looked nice y/n
You : oh! Tell him I said thanks!
He'd tell you over the phone how sorry he was about how weird he was
Robin Arellano :
" Eres Bonita "(You're pretty)
Is all he'd say outlook before saying it was nothing when he realized you didn't hear him
He will literally always be trying to impress you, intentionally or unintentionally he will do so
He'll literally pick you up if you said your legs were hurting
Helps you fix your makeup because he always sees his mom during her makeup and she taught him how to do a girls makeup if he ever wanted to really impress a person
You : Wow!! My makeup looks even better than before Robin, thanks so much
Robin : Ofcourse no pro-
And then you'd kiss him on the cheek as a real thank you then you'd run off saying "OKAY SEE YOU TOMORROW BYEBYE ROBIN!!!"
Bruce yamada :
Will steal your sweaters as a joke because you said he'd never rock any sort of outfit you wear
Lowkey kinda likes these sweaters, won't ever admit that though
Will do your nails with you
You : Bruce you're literally painting my entire finger at this point stop
Bruce : whattt noo that's craz-
You : Bruce. I don't have nail polish remover. Please
Then he'd stop..
Then paint you finger again and run away
Loves to show off when he's at a game and you're there, will be on 170% during the entirety of the game
If his team coach ever found out it was you who fired him up like this, expect your mother calling you down to tell you that it was the coach for the 50th time that week
Loves doing you hair, since he has a little sister I can imagine him doing her hair whenever his mom is out and about or she would just rather that her older and cooler brother do it for her
Vance Hopper :
Is probably also really nervous around you
Doesnt show or admit it though because letting someone like you ruin his reputation of being a hard-core tough guy would be embarrassing
Now this doesn't mean he'll straight up ignore you, or be rude towards you it just means he won't ever let himself be seen blushing whenever you tell him how pretty he can be too
Vance : That's embarrassing literally shut up
You : It's not though! You really are pretty, like your hair and you're eyes are just really-
And then all you can hear is rambling from your end and a Vance who's trying really hard not to show that's he's extremely flustered by this
if he felt like the day was going pretty great, he'd definitely be very openly kind to you
Telling you how gorgeous you looked, complimenting your hand writing, letting his hand linger a little longer on yours when he tried reaching for his paper
Anyways, I feel like if you asked him on this particular day he'd MAYBE let you put his hair up not in public but you know it still works
Billy Showalter :
Is nervous around you, like whenever you're out in the morning waiting for the daily newspaper he always makes sure your last so he gets a lot of time to spare so he can talk to you
Billy : goodmorning y/n
You : Goodmorning Billy! Thanks for the newspaper!
You say slightly shouting it
He loves when you talk to him, especially when you ask him for help, specifically
He knows anyone would ask for help, but when you ask it's like an angel just put a blessing upon him
will help you put your hair up with your pins, and loves to compliment them
Billy : your pins are very cute
You : thanks Billy, I get them from Walmart they cost like one dollar, sometimes even just 50 cents!
Next thing you know, Billy comes up to you with different pins whenever they have new ones in-stock
Is flustered around you a lot, but never shows it
But his front breaks whenever you pat him on the shoulder and tell him he did a good job, or thank him for helping you study for the test that day
You always walk away and never realize that you leave him a blushing mess of a man

hiii!! im not trying to start or say anything bad buttttt...
imagine r and harry are forced to keep their relationship a secret because his team thought that a relationship his former director will cause clicks and boost their names before the premier and/or harry's new album release. so no one knew their relationship except for h's family, olivia, and h's team.
so when r got to the london ono, and saw that olivia is already squished herself in between gem and anne, r just spiraled
idk i thought it would be a good angst hehe.
Backstage Girlfriend 
Pt. 2 | Pt. 3
Word Count: 1k
Category: Angst
Warning: None
A/N: let’s complete this through asks omg, i love it! 
..
“Y/N,” Jeff smiled, wrapping his arms around you in a hug as you all stood backstage before the show.
Jeff wasn’t your favorite person. 
It made you bitter how the entertainment industry worked, and absolutely sour that your boyfriend’s manager thought your relationship should be one that provides clicks and flashes. It was Jeff who decided that a publicity stunt with Olivia Wilde was it for Harry’s career. You hated it and despite trying to reach a middle ground with Harry and his team, you felt like you were on the edge, two steps away from falling every time Harry was asked to be seen with the director.
Olivia was nothing but sweet to you. In fact, you could even say she sympathized with the situation you were in.
“Hey, Jeff.”
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
Everyone exchanged looks. From you to Harry, to Olivia to you, to Gemma to Anne.
Harry glanced from you to Jeff, furrowing his eyebrows as if to ask him what that was about.
Jeff only patted his shoulder as to assure him before motioning with his head behind him so you could talk.
Nervous butterflies were in your stomach as you followed him to a few steps away from the group you were standing it, fiddling with your fingers as you looked at him the moment you stopped, “What’s up?”
Jeff sighed, giving you a small smile, “Look I know you’ll hate me for this—“
“Then don’t say it,” you cut him off.
He chuckled, looking around the backstage for a second before looking back at you, “We’re going to need you to stay back here for the show.”
Your face shifted, looking at him as if he had two heads, “Stay back here? Why would I stay back here? You know I’m supposed to watch him from—“
“I know, I know,” he nodded, “But it’s better if it’s just Anne and Gemma and Olivia.”
Your breath hitched in your throat, your face falling. “Are you kidding me right now, Jeff?”
“You’ll still be able to see him well from back here I pro-“
“You know how special this show is,” you shook your head in disbelief, “You know I don’t like watching him from backstage because I can’t properly see him.”
No matter how hard he tried, Harry couldn’t hear you. His eyes were set on you and Jeff, nervously grazing his bottom lip with his finger as he did. It was only when he noticed your body language that he realized you were angry, and he instantly approached you.
Harry put his hands on your waist, making you turn back to look at him the same moment your body relaxed before he stepped beside you, “What’s going on?”
You stayed quiet, avoiding their eyes as you looked at the ground to stop the angry tears from flowing and trying to work on steadying your breath.
Jeff sighed, putting his hands on his hips, “It’s better if it’s just Olivia up there with your family for the show.”
Harry was stunned, squeezing your hip with his hand as he looked at his manager, “Why is—And where would Y/N be?”
“Here. Backstage.”
“Jeff, I really don’t think that’s a good idea,” Harry shook his head, “I want her up there with Mum and Gem,” he said.
“It’ll only start rumors about you two having something goi-“
“We’re fucking together!” You snapped, pointing between yourself and Harry, “Have been for 3 years before you decided that it’s bad for his image.”
“Y/N, you know that’s not true,” Jeff tried, “You know that’s not how it is.”
“I actually don't, Jeff,” you shook your head at him.
Harry moved his hand to your shoulder, bringing you to his side as he soothingly rubbed up and down your arm.
“Well then I’m sorry for caring about his image and numbers,” Jeff frowned, “And I’m sorry that it’s statistically going according to the plan you hate so much.”
“Come on, Jeff,” Harry sighed, “Tonight’s a big deal to me.”
“That’s why only Olivia should be up there, I’m sorry,” Jeff replied, “That’s all I have to say. This is everything we’ve been working towards and I’d hate for it to get fucked now,” he said, raising his hands up before leaving the both of you.
You both stood in silence for a moment, your jaw clenching and your eyes burning from how you were trying to control your emotions.
“Backstage isn’t so bad,” Harry attempted to joke and it only broke your heart.
You looked at him, almost shocked that he said so, “You’re okay with me watching you from back here?”
His face fell as he looked at yours.
“Are you?” You asked again.
“No, I-“ Harry shook his head before standing in front of you and putting both hands on your arms, “This whole thing is almost over, baby. I have so many more shows I’m going to play that are going to be pretty special, too.”
“I can’t believe you,” you chuckled in disbelief, avoiding his eyes as you felt like you were going to get a whiplash from all the emotions that were bursting within you.
“This is not what I want,” he said, “You know well that this isn’t what I w-“
“I don’t think I do anymore.”
“Y/N-Baby, don’t be like that,” he sighed, bringing you in his arms as he hugged you, “I’m sorry.”
You were almost limp in his arms; having no energy to wrap yours around him. 
“What matters the most is that you’re here.”
And that was when the tears fell.
You pulled away, looking at him, “So you don’t really care that I won’t be seeing you properly?”
“I-“
“That instead, your fake girlfriend will get to be with your family and watch you tonight as if it’s it’s a big deal to her?” 
“I want nothing more than for it to be you with Mum and Gem,” he quickly said, “But as Jeff said, we’ve already come far. We just need to push it a little further, baby. Then it’s over.”
You wiped your cheeks, sniffling as you shrugged his hands off. You leaner closer, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek, “Have a good show, H. I’m proud of you.”
And Harry was too stunned to move as he watched you leave.

Could u write earthrealm guys with a vampire reader? And like sometimes she feeds on them 👀
*asks for vampire requests* *proceeds to procrastinate*
Johnny Cage 
Honestly it'd probably take him awhile to grasp how serious the situation is 
It's not that he wouldn't believe you, but he'd probably think you're joking at first 
Says something like “yeah and I'm a werewolf”
You insist that you're serious and something about the tone of your voice makes him realize you're being truthful 
He saw that crazy shit in Outworld so it's not completely unreasonable 
He's kinda jealous though 
You're gonna be young and hot forever? And you have powers? Sounds like bullshit to him 
He probably asks questions that have to do with your age and how long you've been alive 
I think he would weirdly find you drinking from him kinda hot, especially depending on when and where you drink from him 
Drinking from him shuts him up for awhile since he's all dazed, so it'd be understandable if you drank from him a lot 
I don't even think he'd cover up the marks. He treats him as if they're hickies 
He's probably told the other champions too because his mouth is big 
And knowing Johnny, he's thinking of all the movies you could be in since people love vampires 
Also knowing Johnny, if you can compel people, he'd use that for his benefit 
If all you have to do is say a couple words and his debt is forgiven, then he's definitely using that 
He sees how many pros there are and asks to be turned 
The thing is though, he's only looking at the pros
You have to continuously remind him of the cons but it goes in one ear and out the other 
He will not let it go at all. You don't have to turn him right away, but if you don't give him a specific date for when he'd be turned, he'd become insufferable 
Becomes Bella Swan lowkey-
Kenshi Takahashi
Probably also thinks you're joking 
Once it's clear you're not though, y'all can lowkey be a power couple 
Imagine it for a second 
You both cutting through the Yakuza and restoring his clan 
You being a vampire makes it a lot easier. He's fighting, you're eating. It's going great 
He's not too bothered by the whole vampire thing. There's a few quirks that may throw him off, but overall it's ok 
When it comes to feeding off him, uhhhh… he's a bit shaky about it 
I think that's a valid reaction too
You'd ask and he'd be like “um… do you have to?”
He'd occasionally offer you his wrist 
Otherwise he'd prefer if you didn't unless it's necessary 
Why do I get this vibe? I couldn't tell you 
I don't even think he'd really want to be a vampire 
It's not that he doesn't wanna be one. He just doesn't think about it 
He could be tempted if you said his eyes would heal and he'd have his normal vision back but that could depend on the day 
His sight is already restored but pretending to be blind may get annoying. Who knows
I still don’t understand how his sight works now. I gotta rewatch a play through
Being a vampire has its main perk which is living forever but idk if he’d want that. I can see Kenshi being someone who is both afraid of death but also is comforted by all life having a solid ending
Maybe his thoughts will change
I really don't think he'd be too bothered by you being a vampire though. Just don't make a mess on his carpet 
I think you having the ability to defend yourself would weirdly comfort him 
Not having to watch over you and make sure you're ok all the time is something he'd appreciate 
You're literally eating the opponents. This seems like a great deal 
Kung Lao
I wanna start this off by saying Kung Lao is the type of petty bitch to get mad at you and hold garlic to keep you away 
And he'll be in such shock if you walk over and slap it out his hand
You'll just be staring at each other in silence 
Kung Lao probably tests all sort of vampire myths on you 
“Get out the house then try and come back in” “Why?” “You can't come in if I don't invite you, right?” “This is our house though” “I don't get your point”
Prays over water then throws it at you 
Idek if Kung Lao is religious so idk why he thought that would work 
“Can I stake you through the heart?” “I'm gonna throw you out the window”
Puts a mirror in front of your face to see if you have a reflection. He’s upset either way
If you do, he’s like “wow. Another lie”
If you don’t he’s wondering how you manage to look decent still
It honestly can become obnoxious and I think he'd have the tendency to act as if he knows more about vampires than you 
Because surely all the movies he watched had to be somewhat right 
If you’re like a Twilight vampire and sparkle, he’s never letting you live it down
You can’t control this but he would find it comical. Out of all the vampires you’re similar to Edward Cullen?
When it comes to drinking from him, uhhh I don't really get a certain vibe 
Idk if he'd be down or against it. Maybe it depends on the day 
On the topic of feeding, I don't think he'd like seeing you eat people 
He knows it happens but doesn't wanna see you chomping on someone. It makes his skin crawl 
Overall, is he kinda obnoxious? Yeah. But he could've tried to kill you so a win is a win ig
As a side note, idk if he'd be interested in becoming a vampire 
It’s a thing he gotta weigh. On one hand he’d be in his best shape for the rest of his life. On the other hand he doesn’t wanna deal with all the inconveniences
Raiden
He might be somewhat uncomfortable 
He doesn't think you'll harm him but he probably doesn't want you to eat others in front of him 
What evidence do I have for this? None. 
It's just what makes sense in my brain 
He asks a lot of questions though. A lot of them are cliche based but that's ok 
“So… Garlic?” “It smells funny but that's about it”
I could see him forgetting honestly. He won't be really involved when it comes to feeding. Like he won't help lure people or be around you when you're feeding from someone and since he doesn't see that, it just slips his mind 
Especially if you're one of those vampires that look normal until you're aggravated or feeding 
He's only reminded by almost killing you. He pulls the curtains back on a very sunny day and is like “oh shit” when you scream 
When it comes to feeding from him… no❤
Idk why but I just don't think he'd be down unless you were dying 
He doesn't like how it hurts and how dazed he feels after. Find someone else to do it 
And it’s kinda awkward. He’s just standing there as you’re sipping him like a juice box
Probably isn't really interested in becoming a vampire 
Him and Liu Kang are probably the least interested but for different reasons 
Raiden just doesn't particularly care about the whole living forever thing. Maybe that's because he's young so he's not worried about dying but that's just how he views it 
I think him and Kung Lao are the youngest in the group so they probably have the “I’m young so I’m not worried about anything!” mindset
Can he be killed still? Yeah. But so can vampires. It’s just harder. He’s at an age where he’s not thinking about old age
Plus the negative side effects push him away even further. I don't see him as the type to be totally ok with having to drink blood all the time and look out for hunters 
You can be a vampire and not hurt innocent people but it’s harder I would assume. And if he didn’t drink from humans he’d be hunting down animals and idk if he’d really like biting animals either
There’s blood bags but now he gotta be a thief? It’s a no for right now
Liu Kang
He knew 
I'm not saying Liu Kang watches every single person born intensely but he probably saw it 
Here's how it'd go;
A) He saw you be turned when he was watching humanity 
B) He picked up on the evidence 
C) You were a vampire in the previous timeline and either he didn't change it, or he knew there was a chance it'd happen again 
If the situation was like C, then he wouldn't really be weirded out by certain vampire things, like feeding
He'd be similar to Raiden in the sense that he's not the type to help lure people towards you 
Your food. Your responsibility 
As long as you're not feeding from totally innocent people, then I think he wouldn't have a problem 
If you were drinking from kids or a civilian that's super nice and helpful, then he'd have a problem 
He might suggest animals ngl 
Feeding from him? It's another situation where I don't know if he'd be for or against that 
He probably won't be as dazed as the others since he's a god and whatnot but who is tryna get bit all the time?
In the same breath though, I can see him offering his wrist if you were thirsty and there wasn't good prey around 
So maybe it depends on circumstances 
No if there’s plenty of options around. Yes if it’s a bit dry around
Like Kenshi, he's glad you have the power to defend yourself. Chaos, violence and smoke follows this man so you gotta be a fighter 
He doesn't know how he feels about you eating the competition but whatever 
And don't even bother offering to turn him. He's already a god. What more does he need?
It'd be way more negative for him. He has strength, powers and combat skills. Now he has the need for blood, has to avoid sunlight and whatever other bullshit vampires gotta deal with?
Hard pass 
He'll just watch and live through you

minidura chapter 4 react
Tumblr media
simon i SWEAR ill get you out of there and that horrendous art style
also though. TEENAGE SHIZAYA CHAPTER LETS GO???? idk if narita made the minidura or if it's a separate illustrator but they are giving the FOOD rn
Tumblr media
i was wondering where the official knowledge that simon forced izaya and shizuo to eat sushi together came from. i mean i guess this isnt official and it was probably stated in the anime somewhere but still, good to see it illustrated pff
Tumblr media
AAAAAAAAA ive seen this image around tumblr but i didnt realize it was from minidura 😭 i thought it was fanart or smth (<-dumbass)
Tumblr media
wait im actually going crazy over this akwjhkjdshs they're washing dishes together!!! now we just need them to do laundry and taxes and-
im going to go over the image limit this time on god
Tumblr media
wow cant believe they're bathing each other too (<-delusional)
Tumblr media
something about the first shizuo panel reminds me of aggretsuko. which is. actually. huh. arent they both like adults with anger issues. durarara aggretsuko au when
also deadass i forgot dennis existed until i read about him in a shizaya fanfiction and i was like "who's dennis" pfgfkhkd
so true though never throw kitchen knives kids
Tumblr media
LMFAO HE JUST GAVE THEM MORE WORK INSTEAD OF RESPONDING
they're gonna be here all day at this rate. actually shizaya as fast food/restaurant staff au when because they'd have the stupidest rivalry known to man and i need it
fucking imagine shinra walks in and sees shizuo and izaya working by the counter
i hope izaya gets to eat fatty tuna by the end of this though. god knows he's gonna look cute as hell
Tumblr media
made funnier by the fact that izaya at least definitely knows how to cook with how long he's been on his own and needed to feed his sisters
Tumblr media
damn ive actually never seen someone's vein burst in a way where blood sprays out in anime akshGKJHJKSD thats impressive actually
dont look now but this may or may not inspire me to make a mermaid/pirate au (<-obsessed)
who needs kaiju battles when you can have blue fin tuna vs crab
Tumblr media
they're literally never leaving this place bro they're gonna be stuck here for eternity. anyway here's a literary analysis of durarara pointing out why russia sushi is actually representative of dante's inferno /j
Tumblr media
i want to read those blurbs so baddddd screams sobs bangs table
rip dennis dude he doesnt get paid enough to deal with shizaya
Tumblr media
rippp time to listen to izaya pine hopelessly for the man he cant stop annoying for five seconds
simon had the right idea. too bad shizaya are shizaya
Tumblr media
what is that face izaya. i cant tell if he's irritated that simon's right or irritated that simon cant understand how instinctual their hatred is or amused that simon thinks he and shizuo could be friends or amused because he thinks meaningless fighting is hilarious
Tumblr media
oh......that kind of hurts actually
i can imagine izaya suggesting it as a joke and then lying in bed that night thinking about how it's never going to happen and it really sounds like a funny joke huh? (he is not crying)
i cant believe simon's been dealing with these bitches for like 7 years now like dude has the patience of a saint
Tumblr media
😭give him his 50,000 yen simon
we can see that the crack in the sign is actually fixed now too ahhh time really flies when you're stuck in a relationship of mutual hatred
Tumblr media
chibizaya is so cuteeeeeeeee
im sure he intended to paint himself that way in his recollection though pff
Tumblr media
THATS RIGHT SHIZAYA BE THE PORCUPINES. SNUGGLE. DO IT
step aside erika, simon is the face of the shizaya nation now. especially with that "you just have a shizuo complex dont you" quote that i found the other day which i still havent recovered from
Tumblr media
HAUDGHUSDH orihara izaya, pro unreliable narrator
hilarious how we never see tom's face. just his dreads lmfao
dennis and simon are so done with like izaya bro i think they can tell at this point that he's horrifically pining and has no healthy outlet for it. the bills go to him because they're bullying him
it'd be funny if they billed him 50,000 at the end actually pft
Tumblr media
I KNEW WE'D GET THEM EATING TOGETHER!!! I HAD FAITH
they're so cute oh my god can i make that my header or something
10/10 chapter im going to punt izaya into a wall and get simon flowers

hi mermsie! i was wondering, would you ever write more about reader and merman bakugou? i know their story is "finished", but i wonder if there were any "behind-the-scenes" moments that wouldn't have fit in the fic? or if you ever had any thoughts about a random time they had together before the ending? i love that story so much, it's so magical! and i think about the beauty and wonder of having such a love with a magical merman ❤️🌊☀️
Anonymous said
hi, me again, about your merman bakugou! i had a thought— have you ever had any thoughts about bakugou finding a mermaid reader? i think he'd be so.....what the hell are you? lmao sorry for sending two asks, you don't have to answer! love you!
never be sorry about saying hello!!!! 🥺 no matter how many times. i love it. 😌 it makes me feel apart of things. 🥹 but you know, your ask made me kinda sit there and have a think. 🧐 mostly bc—everything i wanted to include in The Widening Sky, i included!!! 🥺 all the little moments they would’ve had would’ve been—just that, little moments. 🥺 Reader’s calves burning against the hot, wet rock she’s perched on, waiting for Bakugou to come back from some random errand. Or maybe… napping under the shade of the trees while he splashes about, annoyed that she’s wasting their time together by sleeping. Or paddling in the sea while Bakugou rolls around in the shallows like a bored seal pup.
one thing, though, that like, the fic didn’t have room for was what exactly Bakugou was getting up to, after Reader treks back through the scrub to Grandma’s house. Because Bakugou is first and foremost a warrior, right? like the whole reason they end up meeting is because he’s like, curled away licking at his wounds and fish-cursing lmao. and i’ve always thought that if he had people out there, in the ocean, that they wouldn’t…. stay in one place. humans are everywhere! we have eyes everywhere!! even in like, the waters around their island—it’s not really theirs. and especially not with whatever is polluting it, during the fic. so i think if there were others like Bakugou out there, they’d eventually inch further and further away, hide away on some abandoned stretch of shore along a island too tiny and too important for humans to have cameras or eyes on it. Leaving Bakugou—essentially the vanguard, out on a mission!!! so what i think Reader doesn’t realise, when she’s kicking off her sandals at Grandma’s door and brushing the sand off and getting dinner ready while the TV blares out behind her is that—Bakugou doesn’t just go back to some nice charming little seacave filled with like, seaglass that reflects watercolour lights on the walls. He doesn’t get to go to sleep on a bed of seaweed when Reader’s curling into her pillow, with the window open behind her. He’s out there in the dark, keeping watch for something in the water that shouldn’t be there. Maybe there’s a handful of others with him, all of them spread out. But the point is that he is very much embroiled in something beyond us, and that those like… golden, in-between hours we have with him are stolen, on both our parts. 🌅🌾
tbh, i haven’t given much thought to a reversal situation. 🧐 have you read @/smashboxgirl26’s hidden in the sand? i was thinking about it, after you sent your ask, and did the following doodle for it but like—i think she pulls off quite well the problem that i struggle with, in regards to making Reader the mermaid? like in Smashie’s fic, Bakugou’s returned to an island where he used to holiday as a kid—but it’s different now. He’s a pro hero for starters, and the summer-hours friend he had (you) is missing—gone. writing it from Bakugou’s POV is such a clever way of getting around the question of like, how do you have a mermaid reader-insert where you don’t have to like, write convincingly about them living in the ocean. because!!! idk about the rest of u but it seems like living in the ocean 24/7 would be very scary. and dark. dark!!! anyways my point is i admire how smashie does it. 😌 so highly recommend.

Hey, a little while ago, you reblogged that post about AI learning when people insert fics into AI text generators, and I wanted to offer good news and bad news: the good news is that AI learning models mostly don’t work like this. The publicly accessible text generator isn’t the whole learning model, it’s a single machine that the learning model generated. It won’t get fed directly back into the AI.
The BAD news is that there’s not really anything stopping them from saving that information separately to use later, and (much worse) anything that’s publicly available has probably already been scraped and saved. The good-in-this-context-but-depressing-overall news is that these models operate on the scale of billions of words, so, like. Idk. Individual fics ending up in a database mostly isn’t going to matter. That’s part of why the data-scraping isn’t something devs think about, ethically. This info is a paraphrase of another post I’ve seen going around saying the same thing, but I can personally corroborate it; before AI was a “crypto people hate when artists can earn a living” thing, I took some college courses on it and followed blogs about AI stuff for years. The last year or two of AI news has been really shitty :P It’s been really cool to me for a long time, but it is now clear that it’s even-more-vulnerable-than-usual to “capitalism uses every tool for oppression first” Knowing how it works is exhausting because anti-AI people are sometimes not all that much more accurate about how it actually works than the fervently pro-AI “I think chat-gpt is a person and human-generated art is dead” people, and then both of them skip talking about the more concrete problems like the “chat-gpt is propped up by slave labor” stuff.
I really appreciated this series of asks and wanted to make it available for all!
I think what we run into here is where like. A rhetorical device to invoke a sense of stakes and a bit of a guilt trip ("this is plagiarism because it feeds the AI" and its many permutations) can run up against misinformation (it's not literally becoming part of the AI's knowledge base, though as you noted it certainly COULD.) Because like
Where that post was coming from was someone being like "but why shouldn't I do this?" and the answerer resorting to "because it takes my work away from me" and this is still true in like, the rules of community and creativity if not necessarily in the hard lines of code. it's harder to articulate "this makes me uncomfortable because it's violated my ineffable sense of mutual belonging with and ownership of my own work, which I already felt on shaky ground on because it's fanwork but still FEEL with my WHOLE HEART" than it is to say "this concretely makes my words fuel for the machine" which I think people grok as a more sort of understandable breach of that social contract.
Which is why I like this post a lot because it gets at the WHY of why this is so perturbing and violating and isolating
Fandom was never meant to be a solo endeavor! when I write fic and put it out into the world, it's like echolocation. the words I put out are only half of what gives it shape and meaning to me-- the other half is the sound of it reverberating back to me as it bounces off the people it hits by way of comments, tags in reblogs, and DMs and they tell me their reactions and interpretations. that's what makes it a complete picture and not just screaming into the void.
to be removed from that process at all is a heartbreak to me; to have my words taken without my consent is insulting and misses the point and just. ultimately makes all of us that much more alone. which is to say that it's factually correct to say individual fics ending up in a database won't matter because it's probably already been scraped anyway because that's true for the AI and for the data. but individual fics DO matter insofar as like, these are choices people are making about what this hobby is and means and why they like it and what they think it's for and how they enjoy it, on a communal and social level, and THAT matters to me a great deal, in the same way that like, people now might end up getting videoed for a tiktok without their consent or whatever. it's about the erosion of privacy and respect.
but also yeah ChatGPT also runs thanks to exploited and underpaid workers, consumes horrific amounts of water in a time of increasing drought crisis and emits tons of carbon to boot.

Strawhat Real World Jobs
Yes Oda did give out alternate jobs for all the strawhats in an SBS but I will die before I accept Zoro as a cop and I have a few other quibbles and elaborations I'd like to put forth for Modern AUs. I want you to keep in mind that I'm writing this from a distinctly US American point of view so some of the job cultures may be slightly different to your locality.
Luffy- Firefighter: this one is correct. Luffy needs a job that is highly physical with low organization and intelligence requirements (sorry) This man is not going to college. He isn't a hero but there's no other legal way to get the adrenaline rush he needs. Also firefighters have a higher tolerance for fistfighting than other jobs, but not as much as construction. I think he could do construction labor if needed but I also think he would get bored. He would also be a PR nightmare as a professional athlete or wrestler. Could make it as a YouTuber but only if someone else edited his videos. Honestly YouTuber Luffy is your best choice if you want to preserve the feel of canon in a modern world.
Zoro- Cop: I'm sorry Oda but this is dumb as shit. Zoro would get asked to serve an eviction to a struggling mother of three or clear out a homeless encampment and quit on the spot. Or he would get into fights with other cops and get walled out and have to quit. He could still be a swordsman as a professional Kendo fencer? Athlete? Idk what they call those but he'd go on the pro circuit and absolutely decimate. He'd teach at a dojo in the off seasons. I'd also see him as an athletic trainer. I think Zoro could make it through college
Nami- Nursery School Teacher: While Nami is canonically very fond of children and quite good with them this feels like kind of a cop out. I think meteorologist suits her skills really well and I think she could kill it in the looks contest that weather anchors have to play.
Sanji- Stylist: I love this one so much. Idk what the original was but a stylist in the US refers to either a personal stylist which is a person who picks rich people's outfits or a hair stylist which is a person who cuts and styles hair, usually women's. Both jobs are associated with flamboyant gay men. He goes to his job and he gasses up women and calls men ugly for eight hours and then comes home and cooks Luffy dinner because he got texted a picture of the most fucked up eggs you ever did see that morning.
Ussop- Graphic Designer: I honestly have no notes. Yeah Ussop can hold down a steady job, and yeah it should be art focused. What is art but lying anyway?
Chopper- Grade School Teacher: This one is just so cute. He's got a childishness to him that makes kids like him and he has a soft caring personality that makes him good at his job. He can also be strict when he really has to. I agree Chopper would be a great elementary school teacher
Franky- Pilot: I guess? The thing is I think flying a plane for a job is both stressful and boring and I honestly don't think it suits him as well as say mechanic. I think Franky would be great as a mechanic souping up hot rods and doing weird custom jobs and he would be very entrenched in the local car scene. I also do just love mechanic characters
Robin- Flight Attendant: We all know this is just for Frobin reasons. And while the idea of a hand sprouting from your fold down tray to serve you your in flight meal is charming Robin deserves better than being Franky's beautiful assistant. Also I don't wish customer service upon her after all her suffering. I think she would be a great lawyer. She's smart, she's eloquent, she's poised- she'd kill it in the courtroom. She does corporate law for Crocodiles unethical company for a ridiculous sum before quitting to start her own firm and defending Luffy's numerous aggravated assault charges cause she likes him.
Brook- Detective: I'm not really sure why they picked this but I now want a detective story where Brook runs around solving mysteries (wait isn't that just skullduggery pleasant?)
Jinbe- Train Station Attendant: This is really cute, but we all know he'd be a retired yakuza boss. Maybe in some wild world where none of the strawhats turn to crime. I think he would be a local institution and know a lot of people and ask them about their families and such

skz reaction to artist! s/o gifting them an art piece
a/n: okay to clarify y/n is insecure but i feel like the title would just sound a bit silly if i included everything, anyways!!! people who can express themselves through visual art amaze me, artists never fail to impress me <3
warnings/genre: reader has different reactions when they're nervous, fluff, tiny bit of angst because you tear up at some point but you'll be fine
Tumblr media
chan
-“for me?? thank you baby!!”
-doesn’t really make it a big deal, he knows that you can sort of shy away from your talent but honestly he just hangs it up and stares at it everyday because it’s so <33
-not only r u an amazing artist to him but it means so much that u were willing to let him see your heart, and even GIVE it to him
-giggles and kicks his legs and kisses ur face all over but he really doesn’t want you to feel pressured, he just is so happy that you feel comfortable enough to show him
-he understands how personal art can be, so it means the world and more to him that you can let them in on this
lee know
-tries not to tease you but like that’s his coping mechanism because he’s so madly in love w u and he’s probably gonna cry if he doesn’t make a joke about this
-“you’re blushing” “yea no shit do u want it or not”
-very proud
-Asian mom vibes in which he doesn’t outwardly express his love for the piece but he keeps it in his room in a very viewable spot and he smiles at it whenever he sees it
-he knows you’ve always shied away from expressing your art work and showing it to others, and he doesn’t want you to go back in your shell so he wants to encourage u to idk!! post a little sketch on ur social media story!!
-he’s ur number one fan, and he’ll do his best to support and encourage you because!! ur so talented!! how could u not show it off?
-whatever you’re comfortable with though, he’ll always support <3
changbin
-idk cries probably
-“ARE YOU REALLY GIVING ME?? SOMETHING U DREW??” “yea it’s okay if u don’t like it I just wanted to-“
-and then he’s cradling you like a baby and squeezing you all tight and is like !!! You’re so talented ilysm omg omg omg thank you !!!
-has never pushed you to show your artwork, he acknowledges your talents but he gets just wanting to have a personal hobby, and art is pretty personal
-so it means so much that you’re willing to show your art to him
-kisses your cheek, he probably makes it his wallpaper for a bit and hangs it up on his wall or keeps it on his desk in the studio so he can always take a look when he’s working!!
-he’s so giggly he’s like “ur my little picassoooo” but he’ll never push you, it’s just fun to be able to see ur talent :>
hyunjin
-“hey it’s not the best jinnie but I made this for you, it’s not much and-“ and then he’s just holding the piece with the most loving care and looking up at you with starry eyes
-“you’re so talented” and that’s all he can get out because his heart is POUNDING
-for him!! he understands the fear of showing off your art, and just seeing you willing to be able to show this to him and GIVE IT to HIM!! Meant so much to me!!
-“I don’t know why you’re so insecure baby, this is wonderful!”
-gives you genuine, well built praise and compliments and makes u feel like a pro
-he begs you to let him post it and if you let him he’s like a proud mom and he’s like “omg look what my baby drew for me!! aren’t they so talented?? I’m in love <3”
-he makes you feel so confident it’s insane, but not only that, he makes you feel safe enough to express yourself and show it with art around him
han
-probably cries pt2 but he’s bawling his eyes out
-gets into a really weird rant where he just talks about how much he loves you and he knows how personal art is and he’s just so happy that you feel safe and comfortable around him and he loves u sm and ur so cute and-
-it’s honestly a little embarrassing and overwhelming but he can’t help it, seeing you gain the confidence with him to show ur art makes his heart RUN
-gives you a kiss on your cheek and is just smiling like :]
-if you get seriously overwhelmed by his reaction he apologizes and collects himself and just :) “thank you so much love!! I’ll treasure this forever”
-reassures you about your talents and is light hearted about it so you don’t feel pressured or anything
-“once u become a famous tortured art figure this piece is gonna show up on one of those tik tok slide shows that’s like, art that makes me feel-“
-that’s his way of saying he really likes it!!
felix
-calm about it so you don’t feel pressured or overwhelmed
-he’s very smiley and he’s like :3, “thank you so much, you’re so talented lovie!!”
-hugs u super tight and he wants to say he’s proud of u but he knows if he makes it a big deal it can kinda ruin your confidence
-u catch him staring at the piece w a sappy smile on his face and he’s just like sigh…he’s so whipped for you and just knowing you felt comfortable enough to show ur art…his heart is pounding so fast
-you probably tear up a little bit because he’s just so madly in love with you and he can’t express it but he’s so proud and happy and gifting him an artwork means so much to him because he understands your insecurities wholeheartedly-
-he just gives you a big old kiss and is like “thank you so much, you’re so talented”
seungmin
-pokes ur blushing cheek and is like “teehee ur shy”
-he wants to lighten the air, he doesn’t want you to feel like this is a big deal because while he sees your amazing talent he knows that making it a massive thing can be more overwhelming than just a simple thank you
-“this is so pretty babe, thanks so much!” And then he’s pinching your cheeks and laughing at u because u look cute
-he wants you to feel comfortable, especially if you’re the type to avoid being the center of attention, he just kisses your forehead and giggles while looking at the piece again
-he really just wants you to feel comfortable around him to show him your art more, and giving him some!! it meant so much to him and he just can’t help smiling knowing that you gave him practically a piece of you
jeongin
-it means so much to him, and I feel like I’ve said that about everyone but for him it’s a whole different level
-it’s almost intimate in a way?? he understands keeping your private hobbies and being insecure about it, he’s very emotionally intelligent so he just understands the way you feel
-it’s honestly just a quiet sort of praise, because he’s also just really shy and doesn’t know how to express his gratitude without making you feel overwhelmed or nervous
-“do you like it?” “of course I like it, I like it so much that I don’t know what to say…Thank you.”
-he feels so connected with you now, just being able to see something like this, and more importantly being gifted such a personal thing means the world to him
-he just wants to express it but he can’t!!
-he hopes the comforting squeeze of your hand and the way he’s looking up at you like you’re the most beautiful thing in the world is enough to express his gratitude

hm okay like this is my take on the post-why did you drop out of yale rogan fight that no one asked for!! inspired by a tiktok i saw where the comments were all pro-logan but i digress. i digress. we start off w rory (RIGHTLY) calling logan out for being an absolute jerk to jess. which he was. and we all know it. logan, in typical huntzberger fashion, brushes it off + claims that writers are sensitive + that if jess wanted to, he should’ve “taken a pop at [logan]”. what is rlly funny 2 me abt this is that this is so so similar to what mitchum said to rory?? like mitchum dismissed rory in a really similar fashion to logan just dismissing jess’s accomplishments. and both have that air of oh-if-they-wanted-to-prove-me-wrong-they-could yk? idk i thought that was interesting. and then he ends all that by saying that rory shouldn’t let jess get to her. which. this is one of many many scenes that show truly just how incompatible rory and logan are, just because it’s been proved just time and time again that logan does not understand who rory is and also just doesn’t care. rory obv responds saying that logan is the one getting to her and that he was an ass. logan retorts saying that he’s sorry that he messed things up (but he’s obv not, when has that man ever been sorry in his life). this is kinda when we segue into rory’s underlying crisis with everything that’s happening. she calls logan out for mocking jess when he’s actually accomplished something amazing (logan saying everyone’s doing something like. lol what are you accomplishing exactly?? stole 2 yachts probably set a world record but like...that is rich coming from him), and goes on to say that she’s unhappy with her life bc she feels like she’s not doing anything. and as viewers we know that this is nowhere near the vision rory had for her life, and she’s so unhappy bc she doesn’t belong in the dar, she doesn’t belong in logan’s world, just partying her sadness away. rory is so deeply unhappy with where she is in life right now, and logan isn’t even listening to her he’s just telling her that it’s temporary and she should have a drink!! and this is again. just. such a good example of why they’re so so incompatible bc rory needs someone who is going to push her to be the best person she can be, someone who’s not going to take her shit and redirect her to who she actually is when it gets hard, not someone who’s just going to let her continue her self-destructive behavior just bc he’s doing all that too!!! like rory is spiraling and she’s at rock bottom in her life and logan has absolutely nothing to say until he feels like she’s criticizing him. like bro not everything is abt u sorry!!! she’s talking abt herself and logan comes at her when she wounds his pride a lil like...partying and drinking is not who rory is point blank!! and he just puts it all on her like yes it’s her choice to be partying and drinking but that’s also just. all he does and he knows it!! and rory says that and he just. launches into a monologue of self pity about the great huntzberger dynasty and how he’s being pushed through only one door and it’s like. rory is so right he doesn’t have a hard life he doesn’t know what it’s like to actually work for what you have. and yes i welcome the convo abt rory also having a lot of privilege but her privilege ≠ logan’s privilege at all!!! they’re very different!! but rory is so right in this scene bc we’ve never seen logan actually fight it. and logan has no aims!! no goals!! no passions!! he just wants to continue abusing his family’s wealth with no consequences!! like this is the only time u will see me agree w mitchum huntzberger but like. logan should be pushed thru that door bc he has no actual aims in life...and also like. logan saying that he gave rory a month is so absolutely useless bc he never once checks up on her. he never once comments ab how dropping out is uncharacteristic of her. never asks her if she’s doing alright??? no he just gives her a month like she’s going to fix herself and btw. yeah it did have smth to do w you!!! it had everything to do w you in fact...it was ur father that said all that shit that got in her head. and he never even disagreed w his dad btw. like god sometimes i wonder if logan ever even LIKED rory or just felt attracted to her bc she was the first girl who didn’t give him time of day like...he never once felt concern for her? when she dropped out of the school she worked so hard to get in to? like it’s wild to me truly. like even in this argument his main point is to absolve himself of any blame in rory’s dropping out/rory’s spiral. like there is no concern. he doesn’t care!!! his gf, the one he apparently loves sooo much, is spiraling and struggling and he does not give a fuck. he only shows any sort of emotion when she criticizes his lifestyle and when he feels like he’s to blame for her situation. like that says so much...

Hey. Hope you're having a wonderful day
Just wanna say that your characters are amazing. Exactly what got you into creating them ? Any sort of inspiration ?
Hey, I'm having a good night and hope you too !
Thank you so much, I'm happy you appreciate them :) I'm happy to tell the tiny story behind their creation-
So, back in march/april 2021 I was in my last year of my bachelor's degree studying animation, and I still wasn't sure about going in the master's degree in animation as well after that. There were a lot of struggles at this moment but anyway
The thing is that for the master we had to create a short film, alone and (almost) fully done by ourselves, so our teachers asked us to start a sort of book or sketchbook to do researches and brainstorming about the film during summer. Even if I wasn't sure to continue I started it, and sketched a lot of stuff and various ideas I had at this moment
Then I ended up not going in the master's degree and taking a gap year instead, but I still continued to sketch stuff in that sketchbook because I still wanted to do my own film at some point. Uni or not the diploma was mostly a reason to make a film, but I in any case I wouldn't be free to do like I want because of teachers' reviews etc. I wanted to make it truly my own, maybe not perfect but just give it a try and be free to tell the story I want.
But I was frustrated because I wasn't finding something that would make me feel like it's my own stuff, it was too similar to RWBY for a lot of things (already a big inspiration at this moment, I was in the V8 brainrot for the first half of 2021 lmao). So I wasn't really going anywhere
BUT, randomly in december 2021 I had a pretty wild and pretty dream, I decided to paint digitally the main scene of it and doodle some concepts I had from it in my sketchbook :
Tumblr media
I also ended up writing and composing a tiny song based on it (in french sorry-). It's not perfect at all or anything because I'm not a pro or super good, but creating a link between visual art & music helps me a lot most of the time so I do it (also for fun 'cause I love it) :
youtube
After that it didn't evolved much outside of the fact that I already had some sort of script for a "short film" or a teaser idk, I wrote that when I was in uni last winter. But I still wasn't really sure about the main characters or even their designs, even if Gris was the one I thought the most about and changed a lot of stuff
So last january/february I started to work on a first design and turn around for Gris :] (she didn't even have a name yet at this moment)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I continued to think of it until recently at the end of this summer where I sketched another design for her. As for Fauve, I knew for a long time I wanted Gris to have a strong bond with someone to help her go through stuff (and also a gf lol). I never really worked a lot on Fauve, I only knew she was going to have red or brown hair. x)
And I just sketched a first rough thing after Gris and liked it, so I kept it, it was really simple and easier than Gris' researches aha, idk Fauve's vibes felt pretty natural and logical after Gris was done.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also if you're curious here are some of the first design ideas for them I had back in 2021/2022 :]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It changed a lot--
Anyway, now I'd love to develop more stuff and make a short film :]

Arknights anime thoughts
Tumblr media
(Very minor spoilers below, but it’s only if you are completely clueless to the Arknights storyline in general)
Pros:
Extremely faithful adaptation of the game story, down to lines directly pulled from the game itself; if you don’t have it in you to read the story then the anime will get you caught up to speed in no time
Beautiful animation style, especially for something entirely made in-house and is HG’s first big animation project
Drama? They know how to do it! Frfr, they will punch you right in the chest with feels moreso than the game managed to do
The Doctor is very NB and while I know that pissed off the fans who really wanted an unambiguously male protag, it fits with how the game wants everyone to be able to self-insert regardless of gender
Gives a much needed spotlight to Operators who are kinda glossed over in the game, like Franka and Meteorite
Amiya’s inner struggles as she tries to reconcile her power and her idealism are absolutely fleshed out in the series. That poor girl is going THROUGH IT 😭
Cons:
Action scenes need a LOT of work. 🤧They have dramatic set up with minimal return and I feel they don’t showcase the martial prowess of our Operators well enough. Ex: Ch’en is a master swordswoman. At most, we see her jump into the air at enemies while yelling, or cutting through gates with her sword. All the scenes where we coulda had some kickass fights kinda fall flat or awkwardly end to transition to another scene
This could be connected to the previous point, but due to Chinese censorship, HG isn’t allowed to show blood or anything really graphic in the animation. Which, if you know how brutal AK’s storyline gets, seems to be a big handicap. They’re doing alright despite it, but they get REALLY vague on some things. Ex: when Mephisto was burning his victims in that Chernobog building but the anime couldn’t show the bodies or mention what exactly it was he was doing… so it just looked like he was an arsonist to an abandoned high rise and then suddenly Meteorite was gagging at the smell
The intro song to season two is TERRIBLE. Like… I can’t remember the last time I skipped an anime intro because I couldn’t stand the song LOL! The ending song is much better, tho.
Overall:
Awesome anime if you’re already a fan of AK, but I can’t really recommend it to anyone who doesn’t already play the game. 🥲 AK’s lore and story is so fantastic but it can be a slog to read through at times, and ofc not everyone’s gonna be into tower defense/strategy games either. Kinda hoped the anime would put AK on the map to those who would never play it, but idk… I think people would be bored after awhile because it’s not flashy like JJK or Demon Slayer.
