CHAPTER ONE. you really are unpredictable.

Nishimura Riki, Earl Grey High’s well-known playboy. Yes, he was quite the troublemaker, but he also enjoyed breaking hearts while playing with feelings. It was terrible. Many students from nearby schools heard about him, and although they had never met him before, they claimed to hate him. Come on now, only psychos would find joy and entertainment in these things.

Many questioned how he managed to have a decent group of friends—none (except one) were like him. The five boys were so alike, causing Riki and Heeseung to stand out more. Starting off with Yang Jungwon, everyone’s favourite class president. He and Riki have been friends since they arrived at Earl Grey High, which always managed to throw many off. 

Park Jongseong and Sim Jaeyun, who preferred to go by Park Jay and Sim Jake, were both star athletes at school. Being captain of the boys’ basketball team and boys’ soccer team only brought many benefits, for example, love letters. Every day, they’d open their lockers to find newly sealed envelopes that varied from shades of pink to red. It was quite a fascinating sight to be around. Still, this brought consequences—the school’s janitor hated them. 

Think about it. Imagine having to clean up a pile of letters filled with girls who poured out their feelings into every single letter. Who wouldn’t hate that? 

Kim Sunoo and Park Sunghoon were the most different of the bunch. Sunghoon came off as the quiet type but still managed to fit in with the loudest group of boys known to society. Crazy,  right? As for Sunoo, the school’s library freak, if you needed to find him, all you needed to do was ask the librarian. He was always there. He enjoyed having his nose stuffed in a book. Although he came off as a book nerd, he knew everyone and everything about the school.

It was almost as if he were a map of Earl Grey High himself. 

To be honest, Lee Heeseung and Nishimura Riki were like father and son. Heeseung was known to be their school’s biggest playboy, but after he graduated, Riki took over almost immediately. It’s a shame they didn’t add the ‘who’s most likely to become a frat boy’ question while Heeseung was in school.

It’s not like this friend group fell apart; most of them graduated, leaving Jungwon and Riki behind. There was no way in hell you could separate the two. 

“Don’t tell me you’re going to try again.” Jungwon said in a disbelieving tone while looking at the boy who sat beside him. “Studying is boring! I don’t get how you find it amusing, Won. Besides, it won’t hurt to give it another try, right? She’ll eventually fall for me anyway.” Riki replied while staring you down. “I doubt it. At this rate, people will think you have a huge crush on her.” He’d emphasize. 

“Woah, if you put it like that, I’m going to sound like a desperate loser. I told you this already,” Riki started while pushing his notes aside. “All I need to do is ask her to prom. I’ll get prom king way easier that way, am I right?” Riki looked at Jungwon with a sly smirk as the boy sighed. “I don’t get how anyone falls for you. That’s clearly not going to work, Ki! I’m warning you now; you’re eventually going to realize what you’re doing and actually, well, fall for her.” Jungwon explained, causing Riki’s eyes to go wide.

“Are you crazy? I, Nishimuara Riki, AKA Earl Grey High’s most well-known playboy, fall in love with someone like her? Never.” Riki got up from his seat, leaving Jungwon in the dust. His footsteps approached the table in front of them in the silent cafeteria. It was 8:49 AM on a Monday, yet he was full of energy and confidence. 

To be honest, Riki was ashamed to admit that he truly liked you. At the start of his so-called plan, he only wanted to take you to prom to help him reach his goal of being prom king. Or was that just an excuse? He knew his reputation could easily crown him on its own, but still, he needed a coverup for his friend, Jungwon.

Although Jungwon was very smart, he still seemed to buy Riki’s blatant lie. A lie he said a year ago. Even if he secretly liked you, he had to play it cool and keep it a secret. Still, that didn’t mean his playboy antics came to a halt—no, never. But he only wanted to make you jealous. Clearly, you didn’t care, nor did you bat an eye at his many failed attempts. You were aware of his attraction to you, yet you didn’t like him back. Any girl would fold almost immediately if they heard that Riki liked them first, it was a rare occurrence. But you weren’t one for romance. It was never really your thing growing up. 

Still, Riki didn’t know why he was so attracted to you. Your looks were quite average in his opinion, and your personality was, well, also average, but there was something different about you. It was corny, but true. He couldn’t explain it any better than that.

Riki bit back a smile as he approached the empty table you sat at. Of course, he wanted to be noticed. So, why wouldn’t he make a big entrance? Instead of walking around the table like a normal person, he walked across it. Jungwon’s eyes widened as he grimaced at the sight. God, nobody knows where his shoes have been.

The loud step on the surface of the table caught your attention, but you didn’t turn around. You already had an idea of who it could possibly be. As he took his seat beside you, you rose from your own and moved away with your backpack, keeping a distance between you and him. Oh, come on,” he said with a slightly disappointed expression. “What do you need today, Nishimura?” You said, using his surname, leaving an effect that felt like a punch to his chest.

Although he’s been chasing after you for almost a whole school year, you never once saw him as a close friend. Why? Well, did he ever mention that you had a boyfriend? And did he ever mention that your boyfriend, Cha Junghwan, the captain of the Tennis team and student president, despised him?

“You know, the usual. Have you changed your mind about going to prom with me?” Riki asked, pretending that the distance between you two didn’t exist. “I’m sure you’re aware that I have a boyfriend. No matter how many times you ask, my answer will still be the same. I’m not going to prom with you, Nishimura.” You said, grabbed your backpack, and left the cafeteria.

Riki smiled to himself, his ears turning a faint red. You wanted him so badly, and he knew it. He always felt a connection between you both every time you spoke. Just give it a few more months, and his delusions will come true.

He regained his composure and returned to his seat beside Jungwon, who awaited the context of their conversation. “So?” He asked. “Let me guess, she said no again?” Jungwon said as Riki grabbed the notes he had pushed aside earlier. “Riki, I don’t get it. You claim you don’t like her, yet you’ve been asking her to prom for the past school year while knowing she has a boyfriend? You really are unpredictable.” Jungwon sighed while closing his binder. “So? What is he going to do about it? Hit me with his racket?” Riki joked. “You and I both know he can’t fight for shit. Therefore, I’m safe.” Riki said with a proud smile. 

“They’ve only been dating for 5 months now. I’m shocked he hasn’t said anything to you yet. Plus, when have we ever seen him fight?” Jungwon slipped his binder into his backpack with a slight laugh at the mental image of a beaten-up Riki. “Hey, I know what you’re imagining right now. That’s not going to happen. And please, do you think he has the guts to lose his title as the captain of the Tennis team and student president? No way.” Riki insulted him while zipping up his own backpack. “Hey!” Jungwon started. “Yeah, no, I have nothing to say.” He finished as Riki hummed in response. 

The bell rang, signaling that classes would begin shortly. “Wishing you luck. You have him in your first period class, don’t you?” Jungwon said. “Yeah, and second. But I’m fine with it; (Name) is in my second class. Hopefully, I can make it work during Physics.” Riki explained while swinging his backpack over his shoulder. “I doubt it.” Jungwon whispered. “Anyways! I’ll see you in the afternoon. Good luck with your morning classes.” He smiled and waved at the boy as Riki did the same. 

Riki prepared himself to be stared down by his classmate—your boyfriend. He hated him as much as your boyfriend hated Riki. Yet Riki didn’t care. This only made things a little funnier, in his opinion.

Hii!! This is the first time I have ever reached out to someone in this community because I am very scared of being 'found out' and I find it hard to accept myself for what I like 😓 But your account feels very safe, and ur art is so gorgeous bsjsbdj!!!. I read ur tips from a while ago about how to start an account and I would rlly like to share my art out there and connect with likeminded people, and present all my ocs to the world that I have hidden in a folder on my procreate HELP. If this isn't too personal of a question, do u have an tips on self acceptance when it comes to this niche?

Oh man, I totally feel you there, I'll do my best to help ya out!

I completely understand the struggle with self-acceptance with this niche, so many spaces both in the internet and real life have stigmatized this kind of niche and made it out to be something disgusting and perverted, and something to be ashamed about..

I struggled for years with myself, feeling guilty for being into these sorts of things, and for "tainting" my characters with these thoughts, and the occasional drawing I would make in a notebook and promptly rip out and hide somewhere out of shame-

It took me a long time to finally understand why I felt the way I did, and what specific things about this niche appealed to me.

The thing that has helped me the most with the self-acceptance aspect is having a sense of community. Whether it be with just one person, or with a small group, having other people with similar interests that you can talk to and feel comfortable with helps a ton.

Around the same time last year was when I started to get more comfortable with this niche. I joined the server of an artist who's chonky art I really liked, and I got to meet new people and explore that part of myself more. But the best thing for me was finding out that one of my closest friends was also into the same things I was. It was just such a huge sense of relief when I found out, and once I started talking with her about it and sharing ideas back and forth, it became a lot easier to talk about, and it helped me get a lot more comfortable engaging with these interests of mine. A few months later, I found another one of my friends also liked this stuff, and then a few more months later, I found even MORE of my already close friends were into this

I guess the universe was just on my side, I'm so fortunate to have such kind and understanding friends that I can share this stuff with, and explore my interests with

Without them, this account wouldn't exist, and I wouldn't be making this kind of art that I share here, so I will always be grateful for that.

The best advice I can offer you is to find that sense of safety and community, whether it just be one person or several

Joining servers of artists who's work you enjoy is always a good way to meet new people, as well as interacting with artists you admire or other people in the community!

It's never easy to start, and don't get me wrong, I still do struggle with this stuff on and off, but I promise you it does get easier. Try to be kind to yourself

Think of it this way. It's SUPER normalized in society to be into like. Buff guys, or big boobies or butts or whatever, right?? Well being attracted to fat can also be seen that way if you really think about it-

Not saying that fat people should always be objectified in that way but I'm just trying to put that into perspective-

Hopefully that makes sense lol

Also, I am so glad to hear that you can find comfort and a sense of safety in this blog, because that's exactly my intention to have a safe space for people to explore their interests without fear of outside judgement

It means the world to me that you like my art so much and that you felt comfortable asking a tough question like that. I hope my advice can bring you some hope and clarity involving your situation 💖

I sincerely wish you the best, anon, I hope you can find the confidence to share your art with the world someday! I'd love to hear your ideas and see what kind of stuff you put out there!

#softcitrus asks #niche blog #weight gain #I would've had this posted since last night but Tumblr decided to nerf the whole thing as I was putting the tags in #So I rewrote the whole thing 💀 #Honestly I iked the first pass more but I really wanted to answer this one so here it is TTuTT #I was being totally serious btw #If you're the anon that sent this #I'd genuinely love to see your art #If you ever end up posting it please share it with me somehow cause I love supporting this community 💖💖

You are so fucking fake. I used to follow you because I rembered you from ArtistoftheMillenia and I thought you were talented but I unfollowed after all this dumb shit drama started bcus I realized how fucking obnoxious you are as a person. First of all, “UWU pwease don’t call me Amadeo it twiggers my twauma :(“ what a load of bullshit. Trauma my fucking ass, the internet has rotted your brain like all the other fake asf chronically online ass people and made you believe you have tRaUmA, No. You got an opportunity any young artist would kill for being featured on a big YouTubers channel and all u can think to do is whine and be ungrateful bcus UWU my trauma WAAAAH. Makes my fucking blood boil. I don’t see what was so fucking traumatizing for you, getting to learn from one of the most talented artists of our age? What the fuck kind of trauma is that? And putting aside that bullshit, the way you talk and write is INFURIATING. It’s SO clearly fake that it makes me want to throw up from embarrassment. You talk like some pseudo gothic cringy emo kid who wants to come off as deep and smart and uses words like “purge” on fucking tumblr and talks in a forced monotone voice so ppl think ur more interesting then u actually r. CUT THAT SHIT OUT, everyone can tell it’s an act and it’s so embarrassing. And yes I’m choosing not to be anonymous for this bcus now you can’t shame me for being a coward and sending anon hate. I don’t give a fuck if u know who I am and your fans harass me, I don’t give a fuck. That’s how much you piss me off

The world would be improved if you just fucking killed yourself now and did us all a favor by PURGING society of the useless waste of space and air that you are, you anti intellectual dog shit, you pollute culture and you pollute art. You are nothing. Your inability to analyze anything beyond the most baseline surface level shit that is right in front of you is dispicable, you fucking idiot. Your idiocy shocks me.

Marius did give me wonderful opportunities but he also GROOMED ME, and I mean so very literally, he sexually exploited me and abused me. You are an idiot to believe that you understand the whole situation just by the glimpse you saw of us on the internet. Also, I’d like you to know that I’m fucking autistic, and the reason I seem “fake” to you (are you twelve years old? I wouldn’t be surprised) is because my autism makes me speak and behave in ways people find unnatural or forced. I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you. I wish I could kill you myself but unfortunately you live quite far away from me and I’m too busy to book a flight. However, someone else could always do it for me.

fandom spaces are so skewed with regard to pregnancy and parenthood it is all one note of course a baby makes life better and everything will go great and even if you want to be a parent that kind of fic gets old and i know there are a lot of people who never want kids so where are the lets get an abortion fics? the hold my hand and tell me im brave and awesome while i get an iud fics? the you getting a vasectomy is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me fics? i would love love love to read stuff like that and i have a bunch of half baked fics that will never ever be seen because im the worst in the world at writing dialogue

Yeah I made a lil post about it but in most romance circles having children is portrayed as just. Part of the happy ending. And that puts a bad taste in my mouth obviously because to me that’s literally HORRIFYING and society at large thinks I’m a selfish pig for it when for the vast majority of women motherhood means giving up who you are for the sake of your husband’s precious little progeny. And like!!! if u wanna fantasize I’m not gonna shame u obviously u can write what u want and that’s perfectly fine but u also don’t get to silence me and my fantasies when I talk about them. I get to write what I want and I get to have a reaction to trends and it really is not about a single person ever so like get over yourself if ur taking it personally. (Literally not directed at anyone but the anons who consistently jump in my inbox when I talk abt this stuff)

Anyway I don’t plan to write abt much of this stuff (tho admittedly the initial gojo post began as a let’s get an abortion post that I started writing and then… decided I didn’t have the spoons for today) but I do have a bunch of “no children talk” fics in the works bc I think that’s v fun to explore!!!

#ask.🌧 #anon #no children #<- just a reminder that this is my catchall anti-kid/anti-pregnancy tag if ur rlly bothered!!!

[courtrecord]

Got some ttrpgs projects in the back burner?

always, babey!

the main ones i’d really like to get back to:

my friend laura and i have an almost finished les mis inspired game that i think is really neat. it’s a game of card-based mini-games meant for telling ensemble stories about relationships to power. we literally did a set of really great playtests like??? almost 2 years ago iirc??? but we’re both so busy, we just gotta finish that last 10% lol

i have a fullmetal alchemist inspired game using the resistance system (as seen in spire, heart & ascendancy) that is currently my longest ever ttrpg @ 12k words, but it’s still got a ways to go. it does some really cool things with the system that i’m super excited about, it’ll honestly be such a shame if i never get back to it bc i’m real proud of some of the mechanics i put in there

i keep forgetting this one exists, but in like november 2021 i designed a good deal of a doctor who inspired game that actually kinda slaps? the doctor & companion analogue playbooks use totally different mechanics (bob & fitd respectively) and it does some neat stuff with longterm play. i should finish that one up too lol

@nightingem and i have some very cool ideas for a game about love triangles. funnily enough this was conceived before the full extent of my love triangle obsession of the past year had manifested

i obviously have thoughts about galactic 3e. also a compelling reason to work on it. will it happen, tho? don’t hold ur breath tbh. but like, society if

and some that are like, not so much on the backburner but ??? idk whatever is even farther than that. in the fridge, waiting to be heated up again:

the black sails game that has been rotating in my mind ever since i watched the show, but can’t make up its mind about what mechanics it should have

the hades (video game) inspired game with some really cool game-you-play-to-win mechanics but if i really wanted to achieve my Vision for the game, it would be like. so much work. maybe when hades 2 gets closer i’ll bite the bullet & figure out how to make an abridged version

a tarot-based game where u do a greek tragedy. i wrote it like, forever ago and i’d wanna do a pretty big overhaul if i went back to it, but there are some things in there i really like

some second editions/revisions i’ve had on my mind at some point: the riot starts, fallen gods, all’s fair

#thank u for the question!!! #there are probably things i’m forgetting it’s been a minute since i’ve thought much about ttrpg design #i miss it tho #one day…. stares wistfully out the window

[heartscrypt]

hhi. stray cat has returned. and i am in dire need of knowledge. what do the leech twins think about cyrus. im not sure if this was expanded on but i need 2 know

SO GLAD U ASKED STRAY CAT ANON!!!! ive been thinkin bout it lotsss. hehehehe

CANON CHARACTER THOUGHTS ON CYRUS: LEECH TWINS EDITION

"Eeeh? Nishikigoi-chan? Ahaha~ he's funny! It's annoying when she gets all fussy, though. He doesn't know when to quit when I tell him I don't wanna do stuff. Ugh... for a shallow lil' pond fishie, she can be so pushy..."

"Why're you even asking what I think about Floyd, smallfry? Haaah.. guess I got nothing better to do but answer you. He's entertaining, I guess, when he's not being a dead weight. Hm hm hm~ I like how he bites back. Too many Octavinelle fry walk around with no spine, you know, so it's nice to see someone in the dorm with guts."

okay so first up. floyd. floyd and cyrus are really similar actually. in terms of like. Priorities (aka they both have none and just do whatever the fuck they want). cyrus only hangs around people that entertain her because she craves constant stimuli like. all the time. and floyd def fits that bill so. they enable each other to do things that will eventually make azuls hair fall out from stress probably.

doesn't mean they're always on the best terms though. when floyd's mood swings he finds cyrus annoying and in turn cyrus finds Him to be a drag when he's not hyperactive. they are very much fair weather friends. when they can stand to be around each other, they are collectively a menace to society. when they can't stand to be around each other, they are.... still menaces to society but in a much different way.

"Oh, you've encountered Cyrus-san. It seems he enjoys toying with his food.. ahem, that is to say-- he's quite the playful person, isn't he? Heheh. It's a shame that she refuses to join the Mountain Lovers club ... He does seem to enjoy the anecdotes from my trips, but I haven't yet been able to convince him to come enjoy the beauty of nature with me. Oh, but it'll happen one day. I'm sure."

"Hm? What am I drinking? Wouldn't you like to know... aw, darling fry, don't look so spooked. It's only something Jade brewed up for me. Ahaha! Oh, your face looks so stupid all scrunched up like that. Of course I don't know what Jade's put in this. That's the exciting bit, you know. ... Though if he's put a paralyzing agent in this one again, I'll pour herbicide in his new terrarium, and he knows it. Paralysis is so last week."

secondly. jade. honestly, cyrus prefers jade's company over floyd's. they have tea together because cyrus is pretty much the only person who will listen to jade talk about mountains and mushrooms. as someone who likes to explore herself. he does get bored if jade starts going into too much detail about the natural wonder of the mountains or whatever. also not a big fan of hiking like jade is so she refuses to go on hikes w jade. he'd rather sit n listen to the other tell stories.

... also cyrus is the only one willing to try jades mushroom concoctions as Long as jade disguises the taste of it. because as weird as it is she's a huge thrillseeker who can't stand a moment feeling bored and if jade wants to Mildly poison her it's better than. idk. Not being poisoned and sitting still with nothing to do.

#twst #twst oc #twisted wonderland oc #twisted wonderland #heartscreations #cyrus de seirene #txt post #in conclusion theyre all freaks and they make everyone's lives around them hell #the coral sea is small so realistically they shouldve encountered her once as kids #but with cyrus's living situation she wouldn't have seen much of Anyone outside her immediate circle so #thats my excuse for why they didn't know each other before nrc

[an-eldritch-peredhel]

may i ask for your thoughts on dior my beloved??? 👀

DIOR MY BELOVED. HIMST. BLORBO. Ok now that I have my initial reaction down:

Given the post I assume sparked this re: Dior as a rebellious kid, I'm gonna start there

I don't think it was quite rebellion in the traditional sense? Definitely not as much as like. Feanor (bc Dior doesn't have mommy/daddy issues). It's more of a "I am different from my parents and need to go my own way and that way happens to be the Exact Opposite of what they did"

I have a Whole Heckin Bunch of headcanons on he and Nimloth (and their kids) here, also a reblog with Valinor relationship headcanons, if you feel like reading 6+ pages on our underappreciated king, if not, I shall Sum Up relevant stuff

Basically: he joins the marchwardens at 18-ish where he meets Nimloth and they have a rivals to lovers speedrun. She's the one who calls him Eluchil (an insult at first but turns sincere) and he tells her his plan to get respect and political capital by increasing his influence, but the Plan falls apart just when he's starting to get Properly Acknowledged bc Thingol gets killed and Melian leaves and Menegroth gets sacked and whoopsie time for Political Influence Speedrun because he's KING NOW

(DIOR (also Elros and probably Arwen) is the politically ambitious peredhel thank you very much, NOT Elrond)

Gonna put a cut here because this got pretty long lol, I am just getting started with all my many random headcanons

Anyway, Beren and Luthien don't really know about his political aspirations at first, they just think he's joining the Marchwardens to connect to his elvish heritage and make friends his own age and fulfil the Elvish YAWN (Young Adult Wandering iNstinct), and while they don't really Get It they understand and are reasonably supportive

(Luthien grumbles privately for a while but once Dior starts writing them abt Nimloth she's like "Ooh? Another person to dote on? Daughter!?" (Beren: in LAW. Luthien: D A U G H T E R) and all is forgiven)

They find out about it at a Very Inconvenient Time. Don't know when except that probably he doesn't mean for them to find out. Maybe Nimloth lets something slip at a dinner?

I know Luthien and Daeron are like "You WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN DORIATH POLITICS??? After our childhoods and the Quest??? We raised you better than this???" (Beren in the background: "Daeron this is your fault for being his Favorite Adult and cushioning how much being prince sucked.")

Obviously they're mostly worried for him and after an argument and more grumbling they're supportive but. Two Forest Hippies and a Wandering Musician, all former royalty (or close to, wrt Beren) who all ran from Society like hell was behind them Do Not Get It lol

After 6 fairly miserable years of Kinging and getting killed and reembodied he is. Significantly less gung ho about being in charge, but he still expects his political opinions/advice to be listened to, within reason (just because he doesn't want the kingship back Does Not mean that they can deny that he was king)

(Compared to the Noldor, who went through kings like paper towels and had twelve times as much nobility, this is an entirely reasonable request)

anyway some other general headcanons, in no particular order:

This is a general Eldritch Peredhil thing but None of them are allo. Or cis. They all got two things from Melian: being Spooky, and being aspec genderqueers of some flavor.

Dior is a fairly picky eater, mostly because of Texture. He, like his parents, is generally vegetarian with some supernatural (*vampire and werewolf*) exceptions. He really likes Luthien's vegetable dumplings, and Beren's curries and stews. He Cannot Stand cooked greens unless they're thoroughly disguised though.

Really, really loves fruit candied in honey. Big sweet tooth in general, and no shame about it. He passes this to his kids.

He learns to play lots of instruments and to compose from Daeron, but the flute is his first and favorite bc ~nostalgia. He learns singing from Luthien but doesn't like it quite as much- loves dancing though. Beren teaches him whittling, which he uses to occupy his hands. He makes lots of hair combs and pins for Nimloth.

He takes after Beren a little bit more in personality, but it's not really noticeable because it's colored a lot by lack of trauma and eldritch peredhel stuff and habits that he picked up from Daeron who shares them with Luthien. He takes after her too though, the biggest thing being unrelenting stubbornness and determination to get what he wants, by the Valar, even if he dies trying.

He also looks a Lot like Beren, but similarly it's hard to tell at first glance because inevitably what stands out is all the Spooky Shiny Stuff, rather than his actual features. His eyes are bright orangey-gold, which is important because it's the exact same shade as Beren's brown but hyper-saturated and lighter.

He wears his hair in Proper Styles for appearances, but he doesn't like how it feels 90% of the time because it's too tight or too loose or too stiff or-. His hair also inherited a lot of Luthien's Weirdness (her hair is only very debatably called hair and may or may not have a little sentience) which makes it extremely hard to do. The plus side to it though is that once he gets the braids right there is very little that can budge them, so he can keep them in for a long time. Still prefers his hair down, or in a simple braid to keep it out of the way if he must.

Also goes barefoot whenever possible- this is more socially acceptable because Thingol often did too, and you couldn't get shoes on Melian and her kids for love or money, so it's become something of a trend/statement that the royal family takes too far sometimes (affectionate) rather than a sign of wildness (judgemental)

He's fluent in Sindarin (multiple dialects, this guy can code switch like crazy) and Taliska, but he also knows a non-zero amount of Quenya because Beren has some from Finrod. He doesn't exactly use it, but it's enough that he can hypothetically parse simple conversations with a lot of guesswork and tone-reading and common root words.

When he's 8-ish he gets a kitten. He names the kitten Rhoss (whisper/rustling sound). The kitten is Very Very loud. Luthien is the "dad that didn't want the pet" in this situation (cats + songbirds=BAD, Dior promised to keep him inside/in the barn). Beren is the one who championed the cat and regrets it immensely, because he is a very light sleeper and Rhoss gets Zoomies. It's all very ironic.

Beren and Luthien tell him the Tale Of Tinuviel (roughly) version of their adventure when he's very young (they keep "Uncle Finrod and Friends were brutally slaughtered via werewolf" out until he's at least eight) and he occasionally confuses small details. He's very irritated by this, and actually writes out different versions to keep them all straight when telling them to his kids.

(This is the big reason so many details about their quest survive even though they went off merrily to be Bog People, and why so few details about their life post quest exist- he knows that part and didn't write it down.)

Because they are dad's dear departed friends, Dior never admits that he picks favorites of the Faithful from Beren's stories. It changes throughout his life a lot depending on what he's going through, but when he meets them in Valinor he gains a surprising respect for Eluihu (or perhaps not surprising. That they turned away from Celegorm to aid his father when it was Celegorm's followers that left his children to die is... Poetic)

This man has a wicked sense of humor. This is entirely from Beren, ("even now it is in my hand") and ranges from absolutely *terrible* dad jokes, to Legitimately Concerning gallows humor. He's also very snarky- many a comment has been muttered under his breath to Nimloth that made her have to try Very Hard not to laugh

He doesn't like shapeshifting very much (species dysphoria~) but sometimes you just have to give your spouse snuggles as a giant wolf. And being a bird is just really fun.

He has a crazy green thumb- Nimloth insists that he's cheating with Maia powers, he insists he's just that good, this debate never gets resolved. He grows her lots of flowers.

They have lots of silly little arguments like that, lots of lighthearted bickering. Like over nicknames for Elured and Elurin: Dior calls them Thoroval and Thorogamp (Eagle-wing and Eagle-talon), Nimloth calls them Erionnath (Daisy-sons) and both of them jokingly protest over the other. It's very cute

He loves basking in sunlight, but also really likes storms, preferably in the day. He likes being able to see the stars at night.

All peredhil have "In this world, it's adopt and be adopted" vibes they give off, some stronger than others. Dior's aren't as strong as Elrond's but they're pretty dang strong. He gets so many honorary uncles. He becomes an honorary uncle to so many people. He meets Earendil for the first time and goes "Ah, another son". Meets Idril and Tuor and goes "Ah, new cousins". Meets Elrond and goes "Ah, beloved grandson". If you are even distantly related to him by blood or choice you are Not Safe from becoming Family.

Luthien's brand of feral is pretty consistent, she's always this close to becoming a full-fledged eldritch abomination and it's just part of her personality. When she hides it is when you really need to run, because that means she has a Plan. Beren's brand of feral is essentially "depressed forest cryptid cleans up nice"- when he isn't crippled by grief and rage and trauma he can play a very normal, respectable member of society, he'd just much rather be lurking in the woods somewhere.

Dior gets Beren's brand of feral with all of Luthien's intensity and without the trauma. He is very good at putting up a stern, graceful elvenking front. He can walk the walk and talk the talk as it were, and unless you're close to him or have seen him let loose, it's easy to think it's real. Make no mistake though, it is a front, and he is as completely and utterly feral as his parents when you take that away. He is always 100% down to go wild with the slightest excuse, and can switch from Dignified King to Nightmare Beast to Dignified King With Blood Dripping Off His Mouth in the span of a minute.

(The Feanorions got a very big receiving end of this. It's Terrifying)

would you have any advice or tips for someone wanting to delve into queer theory? I honestly have no clue how I would go approaching it

i can't necessarily say i'm well versed in queer theory but i can offer some tips for the emotional journey that reading lgbt accounts and opinions can put u through.

1. honestly just read as much as you can and see what people are saying to each other and don't push yourself to form any clear opinions or take anything as truth unless you've fully thought it through. learn the dogwhistles of dangerous groups and avoid them but otherwise just read broadly and think deeply and critically, and form your own opinions slowly and be aware that everyone is kind of wrong and kind of right but to vastly varying degrees. you can start with queer studies primers made in academia and supplement with queer erotic literature/zines/archival work. a comic about gay experience is the same amount queer theory as an academic article is, think slowly about what might shape the authors' points of view of the world based on their positionality (gender, age, class, cultural background). learn the big historical trends like different feminist movements and how they affected queer political life and it'll make interpreting the texts a lot easier.

2. don't go in expecting to find a right answer but there are definitely wrong answers, lgbt existence is a site of conflict. it is a site of struggle and contradiction and co-creation and co-evolution in which words and social formations shift constantly and are highly regionalized. everyone has been arguing with each other over every single part of how we live and talk and interact as long as there have been 2 gay people in the same space together. every site of queerness/gender incorrectness is an individual site of creation and evolution that is also inherently collaborative because we are all doing it at the same time. we are all making a queer life for ourself for the first time, in a way that has never been done before. be aware of the plurality of experience and how every person is a different cross section of time space culture experience that must find their own answers about gender and sexuality. but also there are people that find answers that aid hegemony and serve themselves and the ruling class over the liberation of all people.

3. lgbt topics and issues immediately provoke some of the most intimate and fear/shame steeped places in your intellectual and emotional self. by our existence lgbt people challenge fundamental organizing structures of hegemonic society. morality and punishment, capitalist/colonial family structures and what we think of as a normal life, makes people question and doubt how we identify and categorize human beings, challenges whether the society we live in is structured in a way that actually functions. you will read things about how people live and think and talk and interact and you will have an emotional reaction. feel these deeply and sit with them, investigate the source and see if it is fear and shame from being indoctrinated by a gender oppressive system in which deviant sexuality is inherently dangerous to the social order.

4. remember to read firsthand accounts of lgbt disnefranchised/working class poc because that is where the culture is! struggle with the more cerebral and linguistic aspects of queer theory but sometimes it's just not as important as how poor lgbt people have lived and how we have found joy and love with each other. so much of queer culture as we know it is specifically black trans culture from the world of bars and balls and parties and sex workers, be careful when reading queer theory which is mostly written by middle to upper class white people who wanted their identity to be seen as a legitimate field of study. many works of lgbt academia have that underlying tension of people talking with authority about things they were not historically a part of when there are firsthand accounts u can find. remember that there is an abundance of queer words on the internet, you just have to try a little harder to find and curate it for yourself. try to build a functioning intellectual framework for yourself through which you can slowly learn to discern what is important and true. it's gonna take a while. let it change you!

ok so since it’s apparently international nb day, i thought i’d make a lil post talking about how discovering my own nb identity has changed my life for the better over the past 2 odd years!

the thing is, i’ve always felt like my relationship to my gender never quite fitted into the norm... like, i never had a problem with being a girl or woman, per say, but the things that were expected of afab people from a young age did always rub me the wrong way, but i kinda just chalked that down to ‘patriarchal shit sucks’ rather than anything about me personally... (and don’t get me wrong, a lot of my issues w/ expectations on any gender does boil down to the patriarchy, but there was definitely something more personal going on too...)

but then, like a lot of people, 2 years ago the you-know-what happened and we were all in lockdown, and i began to contemplate my gender in a way that i hadn’t really considered before... i noted how i had tried for so long to ‘fit in’ to pre-conceived ideas of womanhood (i wore makeup, i had long hair, etc) , only to end up feeling empty and wrong when i never could quite be ‘girl’ enough... 

i also noticed how my relationship with things that were unnecessarily gendered made me not just frustrated (which i imagine a good portion of people feel when they see the kinda ‘blue is for boys/pink is for girls’ mentality) but genuinely and deeply angry! angry at these arbitrary boxes society tries to put us in when all we wanna fucking do is live lol...

and it’s not like i’d never heard of non-binary genders before this point, but much like before i knew i was bi, i always saw it as something other from me... 

other people were trans and nb and genderfluid and agender etcetc, but not me... i felt like by admitting it i would be invalidating my attraction to women (something i had already struggled with coming to terms with as it was), or that i’d be betraying women in some way (which i know is completely ridiculous lol...), so i just kept up the ‘girl’ façade, until i couldn’t do it any longer...

see, i cut my hair short for the first time in my life in 2019, and although i ofc don’t think short hair = unfeminine, there was something in that when i cut it for the first time i just felt so completely myself that i hadn’t felt for... maybe ever lol?? and there was something in me doing it myself (which i still do cos ain’t nobody got time or money to be going to the hairdressers every few weeks lol) that felt so freeing!! and even though at that point i hadn’t really started to question my gender fully, i think it was definitely the turning point where i realised that my body was my own to shape into what made me feel the most comfortable...

now i won’t bore u with all my other gender discovery moments, but just know that once i began to strip away the expectations of my assigned gender, i began to feel so much more at home in my body...

and like yeh, i still have days where i struggle with how i feel about my gender, i still have that shame and guilt that i know so many other queer people feel all the time... but i am proud of being nb and for finally being able to just be me, without those expectations and preconceived ideas!

and i have to say that i wouldn’t feel like this if it weren’t for the amazing fellow nb people on here who helped me over the past couple years as i was struggling with my gender identity so shout out to you guys <3 

#personal #international non-binary day #non-binary #nb #this is rly wordy and i didnt rly know how to finish it in a decent way but.... happy nb day peeps! #and i'd also like to add that i'm not saying that i will always feel like this and that i will always identify as nb #but i know that at this present moment i feel so much more confident and comfortable being nb than being my agab

[allwithagrainofsalt]

U know what the hard thing is about decolonizing ur brain and realizing "maybe it is really important to have community w ppl who think differently than urself and maybe it really is ok to be a human being and have flaws and maybe we really do deserve to live in a world where people are more open and honest and therefore build better relationships rather than positioning urself like ur in a world all alone" is????? It's SO HARD to socialize with ppl when like. (well first of all LACK OF THIRD SPACES we need to bring back fucking park benches and loiter-friendly malls and walkable communities) but ALSO cuz we have this aggressively poorly-communicating culture where a lot of times u wanna just be alone cuz it feels like the only downtime we have to be OURSELVES is when we're alone and we pass it down to our kids cuz we were only allowed to show emotions around them too cuz GENERATIONAL TRAUMA but then also guess who we learned about hanging out from!? Our parents! The people who also didn't know about openness and vulnerability! And this is simply: the culture of shame. Western Culture. "NEVER think that you can fully trust your neighbor" (because in Colonialism B) You cannot trust your neighbor. They might have good reason to shoot you for stealing and exploiting their land.) But like. What if we should all be able to trust our neighbors lol. What if we should put our neighbors in houses if they need them and figure out what's going on and what kind of support they're missing to live the best life they could live? There's NO POINT TO SOCIETIES if they're NOT BASED on making PEOPLE'S LIVES BETTER. Because we're about to end the world in fire if we keep on the same path of not caring about our neighbors. But also sympathies cuz. it's hard not to feel the weird anxiety of like... u feel like u could JUST get to that one centrist family member who's walking some questionable moral lines yk. cuz that's one of the points of real life communities. i think its just also abt finding those real, radical communities to be in adjacent too.

[starsilt]

One day you are going to realize you took the side of  fascists and nazis and the evil in this world and I hope you embrace and feel the shame of that and grow from it. You’re young, you’re supposed to make mistakes and learn from them. I hope you do, least you become hate you think you’re standing against in the world. Terfs and radfems are hateful and despicable and a stain on feminism and absolutely not any sort of human rights movement, or anything good or positive, it’s a campaign of hate and exclusion that kills living breathing people in real time through policy and rhetoric. Trans rights are human rights, and you are in fact transphobic.

i never said i was transphobic, and the heart of the radical feminism movement is about liberating female people. being a terf is not hateful. being transphobic is. being a terf does not kill. i would gladly retract my statement if you could provide statistics on how radical feminism kills. being hateful towards trans humans is not the goal or even on the agenda of a terf. to reiterate, when you see terfs being transphobic, they are simply being transphobic. trans rights are indeed human rights. for some reason i think maybe y’all just have no idea what radical feminism is, and instead decide to go along with the hive mindset tumblr follows blindly, but i can’t quite put my finger on it…. oh yeah, also, isn’t blindly following and leading a mass movement that harasses a group of people with certain beliefs (such as those who send terfs death threats, dox those people, block them immediately without discussion or critical discussion just on the basis of them being a terf…) inherently fascist?

also… why a stain in feminism? i personally believe libfems are a negative feminist route because it caters to male comfortability and is digestible to the public eye. liberal feminism cringes at the harsh realities that a colonized and capitalist society impacts females, especially poc, from unconscious beliefs about what true womanhood is, or if you’re a trans man, what being a man is (convoluted ideas about what gender is vs what gender expression is that leads to lifelong unpacking and sometimes consequences. some people are genuinely trans, and they transition for the better! some females find themselves after transitioning to unconsciously escape csa or misogyny and regret it), to conforming to beauty standards by starving themselves (using they/them instead of she/her because i truly believe trans men have a place in the heart of radfem ideologies as trans men were born female and lived a life being socialized and treated as a female before they transitioned) in order to feel worthy of love, to always needing to check the backseat of their car before getting in, how your self worth in society is measured by your ability to be sexualized (how “masculine” women are not respected and ostracized simply because of presentation while “feminine” women are regarded in higher respects in comparison, yet even that is not respect sometimes but a desire to get something from that women), to to to… these are just examples off the top of my head. there is no space for trans women in radical feminism because they did not grow up female, did not experience life and society as a female before transitioning. there is so much depth and nuance to everything i’ve said and more. i wish people would at least try to open up conversations with those willing to discuss (obviously don’t even try with transphobes because just like most people who hate terfs, you’ll likely just get an immediate block and/or hatred). i know you did not as for this but i’m tired of there being nothing being said at all <3 love u babe let’s talk again

Hi Laura!

I'm trying to be better about not being a "silent reader" and sharing all of the love I have for my favorite writers. Firstly, I just want to say that I have loved everything you have written and I am a huge fan of your OTO series! It is one of my favorites to go back and read. I can't wait for the next ATO update! You're so talented and all of your stories are so different, but captivating!

I just read "First Heartbreak" and I also saw that you were not planning on writing children into their relationship and I just wanted to say thank you! I'm childfree by choice and I plan on staying childfree. I've been married for 5 years now and of course everyone wants to know when we are going to have kids. It is frustrating to have to explain to people why I don't want to have kids. I think so many people see childfree couples and women as "incomplete." I don't need a child to have a fulfilling life or relationship, but it is hard to not let those thoughts get to you. The ending where JK was reassuring the reader that he is happy to have her and that they aren't any less made me tear up (in a happy way :) ). I know in this case they will be childfree by circumstance, and that can be heartbreaking in a different way. So thank you again for including social issues and different life circumstances in your stories. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates it!

Now I will patiently wait for your next update!

hello angel! thank you for being here, taking the time to read and message! i really do appreciate it my love! let’s dig in!! it’s definitely something that’s not discussed as often as it should be, i think couples without children 1000000% need more representation and need to stop being pressured into “having children because that’s the right thing to do” like?? no?? i fully understand where you’re coming from! being a mother does not necessarily mean all your problems are fixed, and not being a mother doesn’t mean you have problems! at the end of the day it comes down to choice 💜 it’s a shame that society is like this. i respect your decision not to have children!! and i’m wishing u and ur husband a lifetime of happiness together! thank you for sharing your story! it really is so heartwarming when readers relate/appreciate these details in the work i put out, makes me all gooey inside :( thank u for sending this lovely message!! 💜

[elftwink]

so fucking rude that skipping is considered childish when it is absolutely the best form of foot-based transportation. less energy intensive than running but faster than walking. i am being fucking efficient and it is not my fault that efficiency is also whimsical and silly looking

#skipped down the hallway and caught myself in the mirror and now im self conscious #so this post is more directed at my internalized shame than anything else #but also who put that shame there? society. makes u think #good idea generator #wrow

[nagipops]

hii I love your blogs sooo much you're really talented (I just needed to say it sorry) so straight to the point, I already made 2 requests to you and I really enjoyed your writing so I would like to make another again. As I'm clueless about what to request I'll just ask for random hcs for konoha 11, idk if it's too much but if so then you can do with Neji (I love him so much), Kakashi and Naruto. Thank you in advance and sorry anything ^^

RANDOM KONOHA 11 HEADCANONS!

FEATURING: naruto, sakura, shikamaru, ino, choji, neji, rock lee, tenten, kiba, hinata, and shino

WARNINGS: mentions alcohol, drugs, food, bugs, and the tiniest nsfw mention if you get the joke. hehe

A/N: AHHHH ANONN this seriously made my day, im so so glad you enjoy my work!! 💖

NARUTO

you know how we all have “the chair”, where we throw all of our dirty clothes onto?

yeah, imagine that, but from the seat to the fricking ceiling

its just a GINORMOUS MOUND of clothes, you wonder how he even goes through that many clothes so quickly???

definitely shoves it under his bed whenever guests come over (somehow)

holds chopsticks really weirdly. but it works.

asked tenten to put his hair into space buns to mimic his sexy jutsu and went around flirting with the village

jiraiya was so proud of him T-T

comes up with the WORST pickup lines

they’re so bad, its almost charming. almost

has gone AWOL multiple times, disappearing from everywhere, just everywhere

it scared you a little, so you searched the entire village for him

you finally found him sitting on the ledge of a cliff, gazing out at the vast sea

concerned and panicked, you cried out to ask him what was wrong

he turned to you with a crestfallen, devastated look on his face and said,

“i bought shrimp ramen instead of chicken ramen.”

you’ve never searched for him after his disappearance ever again.

SAKURA

100% makes origami shurikens and chucks them at you

they are deathly precise and deathly sharp. seriously, how are these not illegal weapons yet???

writes threatening motivational notes to herself on the mirror

“u got this!” “make sure to smack naruto today!” “ino sucks!”

her backpack would always be way too high up on her back. idk why but. it would

does her hair all nice and pretty before she goes out but once she arrives to her destination SHE KEEP. TAKING. IT OUT. and redoing it over and over and over again

like it’s impossible to make eye contact with her because she’s holding a bobby pin between her teeth while braiding her hair

her guilty pleasure would be hostess treats

ding dongs are her favorite. don’t ask me how i know, i just know.

eats the yellow starbursts just to spite naruto and all her haters

loves small lap dogs, she think’s they’re so cute and cuddly

but she especially loves chihuahuas

they’re so feisty and naruto HATES them, so of course she had to go and get one for herself

dresses the poor dog up in little bonnets and jackets and ties its tiny fuzzy hairs into pigtails

she and the chihuahua are not that much unlike <3

SHIKAMARU

this man is a god at shogi but he absolutely SUCKSSSS at cup pong.

is this an ick? idk. but he is absolute trash at this game.

it gets even worse when he’s got a couple drinks in him

tries to calculate the velocity and acceleration and angle and shit but his shot is always a good two feet off BYE 😭

just mutters an “aw, shit” before awaiting his turn again

hates checkers, loves chess

“checkers is for WUSSIES” - shikamaru nara

i said this in another post, but he is Very Good at whistling

like that’s his hidden talent

can copy any tune with the perfect pitch and rhythm

speaking of, he can do really cool tricks with his tongue

like making a four leaf clover, touching the bridge of his nose with it, flipping it upside down, you name it

he has slanted, scrawled handwriting, to the point where it’s almost illegible

wbk he cheats in school SO OFTEN. but he never gets caught. he’s not stupid, he just couldn’t care less about his classes.

thinks weed and e-cigs are stupid, cigarettes are where it’s at

you just can’t replicate the feeling of taking a drag from a cig after a long, tiring day

plus he looks hella cool while doing it B)

INO

teaches the boyz™️ how to braid their hair

like they all gather in a circle around this feisty fashionista and fail attempt to braid their hair

sakura was just fuming in the sidelines

“OI, INO-PIG, THAT’S A DUTCH BRAID, NOT A FRENCH BRAID!!”

yeah, ino 🙄

the only one that can actually do it is neji because a) this man is talented af and b) he’s got the long hairrr

ino probably envies his thick, sleek hair because hE’S a bOy

also asks everyone for their blood type and zodiac signs and tells them if they’re compatible with her or not

and definitely judges you for your sign 😣

“oh, you’re a gemini? hmm, what a shame...”

makes bouquets for her favorite people and kin assigns everyone a flower

only assigns the pretty nice ones to the people she likes (sorry sakura, you’re out of luck)

one of her favorite hobbies is crafting! she’s really good with details and small things so she loves making those miniature dollhouses and stuff

also really good at watercoloring. especially painting flowers and landscapes

also i feel like she would be really good at playing any instrument because of her skilled hands

can play a badass flute solo. period.

CHOJI

would honestly rather die than get anywhere NEAR an asparagus

he just thinks they’re so gross and bitter and NOT SALTY

he always eats his yakiniku a little bit undercooked because he’s way too impatient to wait for it to cook fully. who do you think he is??

whenever he cloud gazes with shikamaru, when asked what he thinks a cloud looks like, he just says some sort of food

“oi, choji, what does that one look like to you?”

“a... yakiniku grill... with... pineapple rings on it! ooh, and a wagyu steak right there!”

he thinks pringles are an abomination to society. where’s the crisp? where’s the grease? where’s the saltiness?!!!

asks ino to teach him how to do his hair all fancy and the two of them devote an entire day learning different hairstyles

it’s his new favorite thing to do now :D

he really likes crayons!!!!

like he’ll write with them, draw with them, color with them, do everything with them

he’s even tried to eat them. he said they tasted good.

definitely had the 128 crayon pack WITH THE BUILT-IN SHARPENER, and everyone thought he was the coolest kid in town

he ate it UP, he even scored some bbq dates with the ladies

i also feel like he loves basketball, and he has a MEAN slam dunk

like his vertical isn’t that high, but the man can REACH

he loves when people laugh at him when he challenges them to a 1v1 and then proceeds to absolutely destroy them <3

NEJI

he seems like a cucumber kind of guy.

just cucumber

like i feel like he puts it in everything; soba, salads, sandwiches, his face, yeah

it’s mellow and cool, just like him!

speaking of, i feel like he lives for spa days and facials

it just lets him be alone in his little cucumber scented world for an hour or two and he gets damn clear skin from it as well

seriously he has PERFECT skin. flawless. not a single blemish. his cheeks feel like baby butts they’re so smooth.

i feel like he’d be a god at solving rubik’s cubes, don’t ask me why

like if anyone scrambled theirs on accident they would just take it to neji and he’d solve it in the blink of an eye

CAT PERSON!!! loves the little meow meows

who are we kidding, neji basically is a cat; agile, aloof, does silly things without trying to, very cute

he just feels akin to the little fuzzballs and he thinks petting cats are extremely therapeutic. good for the soul

he is a golf man. he would take his juniors golfing and everyone thinks he’s uncool. cmon neji let them go to the skate park at least T-T

also very good at karaoke, definitely surprised everyone once he got a few drinks in him since he started serenading you

LIGHTWEIGHT!!! do not get more than one shot of alcohol in him. he will go berserk.

i also feel like he’d really love photography; not taking pictures of people, but of nature

he loves taking a quiet stroll through a pretty forest and snapping pictures of all the unique flora and fauna

it’s so serene ︶ ‿ ︶

ROCK LEE

100% milly rocks everywhere

gai got in on it too once he asked what lee was doing

“is that what all the youthful cool kids do these days!”

they also dab together. a lot

DO NOT BE SEEN WITH THESE TWO!!! you are not associated with them.

definitely is the one breakdancing in the middle of the dance circle at a high school party

he’s mad skilled at it too

headspins and windmills galore

challenged naruto to a dance-off and completely OBLITERATED him

lee then asked if naruto wanted a rematch, this time with one hand tied behind lee’s back

naruto obliged, and he STILL lost

RIP naruto and his fangirls, they all scrambled to lee afterwards T-T

i feel like his favorite subject is science

not the boring physics equations and laws and theories but the fun EXPERIMENTS

definitely has singed all of his hair off one time and he went to gai blubbering to help him grow back his precious hair

but he loves experimenting with different combinations and chemicals to get different reactions each time

created a potent love potion and carried it around with him all day one day

and it was actually working

girls were flocking to him left and right, staring at his lips and his face

he was so abashed at the sudden attention

heck, it even worked on sakura

“oi, lee-san!”

“hehe, yes, sakura-san?”

her eyes shifted downwards to his lips and his heart thumped harder

“hey... lee-san?”

“what is it?”

“you have something on your lip. we’ve been trying to tell you all day but you just winked and blew kisses at us.”

legend has it lee has still not recovered to this day.

TENTEN

has THE prettiest handwriting. and she can write SUPER fast

it’s like a superpower

like she transcribed five pages of a report in less than two minutes with perfect handwriting

naruto is so jealous.

she is also super good at origami! those diligent, accurate hands aren’t just for throwing things

taught sakura how to make shurikens but does NOT endorse any violent uses of them

she can replicate all of her weapons with paper and they can actually function, it’s so cool

made paper kunai knives one day and the wholeee village wanted to get their hands on them

i feel like she’d listen to mitski. idk i just get those vibes

LOVES BIG DOGS!! especially fluffy wuffy samoyeds

like man’s best friend?? no, GIRL’S BEST FRIEND!!

hugs and cuddles and squishes all the big dogs

she thinks small dogs are spawns of satan

sakura and her have definitely quarreled over this

but at the end of the day, all dogs are adorable fur babies, so she lets it slide :,)

KIBA

kiba always looks SO GOOD in photos you take of him, candid or not

like you could just whip out a camera and snap a photo of him at any given moment and he would look perfect

you framed a picture of him yelling at akamaru for peeing inside the house

it’s pure artwork

i feel like he tries to swagger around with his hands shoved in his pockets but it fails MISERABLY and the girls are wondering if he broke his leg or something 😭

kiba just walk normally. for the love of god please just walk normally.

he tries to slump back in his chair really low but one time he slouched way too low so he slipped off of his chair and onto the ground LMFAOOOO

he just wallowed there... in shame...

also.. he LOVES when the girls put makeup on him!!

he tries to act like he hates it. but it secretly gives him so much confidence

not to mention the girls hyping him up are a huge ego boost

okay the inside of his jacket hood is the warmest. thing. EVER!!!

seriously, no wonder this dude is so happy-go-lucky all the time, he’s living in literal heaven 24/7

it’s like you’re sleeping on a cloud inside a warm, cozy bed during a cold winter morning

10/10 would recommend letting him give you his sweatshirt when you’re chillin with a hair tie ❤️

HINATA

always smells like lavender soap. always

also has the cutest pencil pouches with little puppy faces and kawaii things

oH and she has those mini yoobi highlighters, she thinks they’re so cute (and functional!)

everyone flocks to her to try them out and marvel at the cute tiny highlighters

and they try to steal them from her but she doesn’t even stop them because she’s too timid to 😭

naruto goes BALLISTIC over them

she lets him have all of them <3

tennis girl!!! tennis girl.

all of her opponents always underestimate her because she’s so timid and shy and quiet

but she has a KILLER serve

and then she takes her opponents to the slaughterhouse with a complete shutout ;)

she’s really athletic believe it or not, she can beat most of the boys in a mile run and she has incredible endurance

i feel like she really loves velvet scrunchies

she just thinks they’re so pretty and they keep her hair soft so they’re cute and functional

also takes the PRETTIEST notes!!

color codes, dividers, headers, you name it, it’s all super readable too its insane

everyone asks her for her notes, not to study but just to appreciate the pure artwork that it is ^w^

SHINO

shino is SO easy to prank

“how do you catch an eyemaster?” *cue naruto and kiba snickering*

“eyemaster bait. that is because—”

even when everyone’s laughing their asses off, he still continues to explain his answer since he does NOT GET THE JOKE

tried his hand at writing haikus

here’s his best one so far:

“Bugs are amazing. That is because they are bugs. Bugs are very nice.” - Shino Aburame

VERY proud of it, since it took him weeks to perfect

praise it, pls

had one of those ant farms and bug-catching kits as a kid

and he would fill the kit TO THE BRIM. LIKE IT WAS HEAVY BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY BUGS.

he loves the little chitters of the different bugs

he had jars of different bugs all lined up on a wall shelf in his room

collects silkworms off of trees and sticks them into his pockets (no i definitely did not do this as a kid...)

HELP I FEEL LIKE he would record a timelapse of his ant farm growing and upload it to youtube with a movie maker title screen that says

“my ants”

honestly, as someone who's gotten plastic surgery, i feel v conflicted abt it. i'm fully aware that no one is born hating themselves and capitalism and societal pressures towards young girls and women manipulate them into obsessing over every part of themselves in order to fit the ideal, and that was a big part of why when i was going for consultations and stuff, i was simultaneously really upset with myself for knowing all this and then going thru w it anyway, especially since plastic surgery is so expensive and available only to those who can afford it. but like if you asked me point blank if i regretted it, i wouldn't be able to say no either. however my self esteem did not skyrocket after doing it (like i naively thought it would) and although i stopped fixating on one part of my face, i now fixate on other parts and it essentially becomes a never ending cycle. like the amount of shit i feel about my face has not changed at all before and after, and i think it's important for a lot of people to realize that if a lot of your self esteem and shame about your body is always focused and concentrated on your appearance, no amount of tweaking and changing it is going to make up for that bc there will always be a new product or procedure or whatever to try and convince you that you have one more defect or problem to fix. i did it because i was really desperate to become 'pretty' and not feel utter devastation when i looked in the mirror and because i thought that that would be easier than trying to convince myself that my worth doesn't lie in my looks. anyways sorry for the rant, i don't really know where this is going but yeah.

ohh :(( this makes a lot of sense sadly. i often find myself wondering why people go really extreme with plastic surgery - why they can't see how bad it ends up looking if they take it too far - but this makes explains it. i guess the self loathing doesn't go away, it just finds some other feature to latch onto. until you're "fixing" every little thing about yourself and your self image is just completely and utterly disorted so you have no idea what you really look like, or even what you want to look like, anymore. it's pretty sick that this is becoming really common esp in young women nd yet ppl still refuse to view the phenomenon critically, choosing to just shrug it off with the whole "it's her choice!" argument. anyway i think it's understandable that you have a lot of conflicting feelings on the topic - anyone would. you know it’s a trap, but you also know you want to feel better about yourself, more confident in your own skin. both things feel impossible in their own way. i think it's ok that it's not straight forward, you know? im sorry it didn't bring you the peace and self love that you truly deserve, but i also hope the whole experience has helped you realize that your self hatred is distorting things nd that there's nothing wrong with you now, and there was nothing wrong with you before. though i know it can take forever to truly begin to believe that after all the conditioning we're put through. worth doesn't lie in looks but we r a pathologically looks-driven society, and we all feel the pressure of that every day because how could we not. it's almost impossible to remain unbothered. but yeah, it's designed to be a losing game. if you get the nose you want you'll start to hyperfocus on ur lips or ur ass or your boobs instead, it's built to be an endless well of desire to look better nd therefore an endless well of profit. thank u for sharing ur thoughts nd feelings, it's really interesting to me, i feel it's all so cruel and pointless. sending you a lot of love. the world's gross for making you feel ugly in the first place x
