Hey, hope you’re having a swell day! For the Vinyl Asks: 9, 11, 12, 30. And not listed, but curious - what kind of record player do you use?
9. Have you ever inherited any records from your family?
no i havent my mom has a ton in her attic and she's always like oh i should give you those and then she always forgets lol
11. Is there an “odd man out” record in your collection (it doesn’t fit in with the styles/genres of the rest of your collection)? If so, what is it?
i love international music a lot especially from africa there's a lot of amazing music out there that nobody from western countries has really heard of so it's def this one but it's because you cant really find these types of records in a lot of places (side note really great album go give it a listen it's nigerian funk)
Tumblr media
12. Record you listen to the most?
definitely speaking tongues by talking heads love it so much or discovery by electric light orchestra
30. Record(s) that you want to buy next?
oh man so many i really wanna get more paul mccartney i want ram on vinyl so bad i also want more elo because i love elo theyre so good
also bonus
i just have a victrola i'd like to get a nicer set up eventually but it gets the job done for now :-) and if youre looking for a record player it's not the expensive compared to some others

Hi!! I really like ur art!! Ur artstyle is so cute it makes me wanna explote. Can i ask for ur ocs? (Their designs, names, etc) i wanna know more abt them!!! :]
Tumblr media
YESS OMGB IM GOING TO BE SO ANNNOYING ABOUT THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
augusta is a revamped oc that i made in grade 6, so technically shes my firstborn!! don’t really have any story for her, she’s just there to float around in my head lol
originally she was like, a brown and white fox with two tails and her special power was that she could use the tips of her tails to draw things made of shadows lmao. very edgy.. but it was everything to grade 6 me <3 (if youve been here for the longest time you might remember but shhh)
but now she's a part time astronaut who harvests stars for fuel and food on earth!! she drives her own spaceship called the moonfish, so just overall she has a very spacey theme and i like drawing her with stars or moons. her motif is supposed to be the five pointed star :o)
i also forget to draw it sometimes, but she has a dog collar that turns into a space helmet when you pull the tag! id like to imagine what work is like for her and what led her to become an astronaut, and maybe some stuff about her personal life like when she was younger. will probably make a doodle dump for that
despite being an astronaut, shes actually not that good at math and science and i figured its fine because thats not as needed in her world? theres probably magic if she can walk around on the moon in a dress so its more a fantasy or dream thing to me
before she was living on a house on the moon so she could go to space all the time, but since she has vincent and anton now i think she probably stays with them on earth <3 would be cool if she kind of tethers her ship to the house like a balloon, i should probably draw that later lol
speaking of!! shes in a relationship with @poicyss oc anton!!! i thought they would get along well, esp since auggie is a huge chatterbox so i think she'd be a good conversation partner. but theyre so cute!!! shes extremely curious and doesn't really give herself a reason to dislike others until theyre mean to her, so she'd definitely want to get to know anton!! theyre in love your honor!!!
their son vincent was also meant to be a one off because i wanted to see what their child would look like, like one of those crack ship memes lol. obviously i got attached cause hes so dang cute and he probably has a mix between his parents personalities ^^
i talk bow's ear off about them constantly but like!! theyre so cute!!!! my blorbos!!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
these are presto and soleil!! theyre rival magicians who hate each others guts for stealing the others spotlight all the time. they both became world famous magicians around the same time so they've been fighting each other for attention for a while lol
the thing is that their magician identities are secret from their civilian identities! this means absolutely no one is allowed to know their civilian selves AND nobody in their personal lives know they happen to be the magician. also, the names presto and soleil are their stage names!!
so what happens is that they happen to enter the same apartment at the same time as theyre changing out of their costumes, which means they accidentally discover each others civilian identities and magician identities lol!!
the reason why this happens is that they both happened to apply for an apartment, but the building manager (mrs. koi) is very old and forgetful so she accidentally gave both of them the same apartment thinking she only gave it to one of them.
the other apartments in the area are also too expensive because theyre bigger and newer compared to mrs. koi's apartments, so they reluctantly become roommates >;o)
thats basically the context for them but i really have no idea what else i wanna do with their story, probably just roommate shenanigans and shit lol. im a huge sucker for rivals to friends/lovers so this is constantly on my mind lmao
i was also thinking of making other tenants for the story so maybe like eccentric old man, single mom and her five year old, idk? theyre just a bunch of silly little guys to me :o)
also i think they'd each have their own style? i imagine presto is more of a stage magician with the wand, and he enters the stage through a huge top hat, just playing with classic magician cliches. soleil is probably more like mind boggling shit on americas got talent, maybe street magicians and a phantom thief kind of vibe
Tumblr media
these guys are minor inconvenience (min) and delaney!!! their story kind of revolves around luck and coincidence lol
min comes from a family of internationally wanted phantom thieves who hide out in a small town. he's actually a red panda adopted into a family of raccoons, but the thing is that they're colorblind so they can't really tell the difference. the only things that really set him apart is that he's not extremely smart (but decently smart) and he's very clumsy, unlike his family
this means his family doesnt ever take him with them on heists, but only because his clumsiness could give them away and get them all caught. eventually he gets fed up with being left out and decides to do his own "heists" as practice to get better so he can come with them someday
but since he knows most of the people hes stealing from in town, he doesn't actually keep what he steals. he just does it to try and get better with lock picking, disabling alarms, etc. and eventually puts everything somewhere the owner can find it
also extremely important to know is that even though min is extremely clumsy, he actually has stupidly good luck which balances it out. somehow, even if he trips on nothing, he will manage to land a sick backflip on the way down. there is no explanation for why this happens. his family thinks it's because he has a four leafed clover birthmark in an embarrassing place.
the thing is that his luck only works on him, not on his surroundings. so if he was in a group of people that get splashed with mud, he would be the only person not to get splashed no matter how close you are to him. this leads to a lot of misunderstandings lol
on the other hand, delaney is normal and she really had nothing to do with him until she was walking home and somehow found him stuck in a vent trying to escape. she felt bad for him and helped him out, mostly because she didn't know he was stealing and thought he was just dumb, but that kind of triggered a bunch of coincidences where they cross paths, specifically while min is in the middle of stealing and delaney eventually helps him out
they don't even really want to see each other until one time delaney finds him and he gets hurt trying to climb out a broken window. she patches him up and they kind of have like some sort of acquaintance relationship to the point where they wave when they see each other, and eventually meet up on purpose EHEHE

the worst person in the world (2021) letterboxd review (already crossposted this to twt but reposting here for………'research'[you'll see)]
funny how i originally thought this movie was adapted from a novel even BEFORE a major character contracted a terminal illness (aka like one of the most common things that can happen to a character in a Realistic Fiction Novel, right after infidelity). it just has that MFA vibe!
this movie feels like a deceptive advertisement for living in norway. isn't it mostly cold there ? (update: i have looked up the average winter monthly temperatures in oslo & theyre actually pretty much the same as where i live. whooops!!)
the music in this is good when it’s good & rly annoying when it’s not
hilarious and insane that norway’s indie comics scene is (or is at least depicted as being) exactly the same as in the US—i.e., dominated by edgy cishet dudes all too willing to use mere shock factor as an excuse for originality
like…he has characters whose names are translated as “Dick Wolf Dick” & “Pedo the Parrot” which, come ON but also that literally is what these guys are like……like. So true besty
& yet ! i also can't help but sympathize w/ the comic boyfriend re: the Great Endless Cancel Culture Debate bc ppl have also told me stuff like, “i hate all the people in your comics”
which like! Fair, i don't intend for my characters to be Nice People (well ok some of them are well-intentioned but also kinda hopeless/lost causes)
but also the bf (well, ex-bf—in more ways than 1!!) is exactly right—comics are where i put all the horrible thoughts in my brain that i can’t exorcize by any other means!
love that she shares my hobby of “lying to strangers at parties”……she’s so cool
this movie has a lot of fun little moments that feel pointily realistic: (e.g.: getting interrupted repeatedly while fooling around w/ someone at a party bc you’ve decided to canoodle one another in the Designated Bed Where Everyone Puts Their {Admittedly Extremely Soft + Sensual} Coats, and now everyone is coming to get their jackets & keeps walking in on u while you're trying to snog)
^ another such moment: when her dad says that the link to the libfem girlpower-vibes sex article she wrote doesn’t work, & it’s up to us to decide if there’s actually an issue with his phone or he was just being squeamish abt sex
i wouldn’t call these "wow just like irl lmao" moments exactly the same as the ones in a coen bros movie, but they’re similar imo ? like, those are always my favorite things abt their films (the violence is fine but usually kind of boring to me at this point. like, okay, he has a gun, great. can we bring back the wood chipper? no, too expensive? well how about the cattle stunner thingy, do you still have that thingamajig laying around?)
nah i'm talking like, the way they make the pauses in an ordinary conversation as awkwardly real as possible. ofc when they do it it's often bc there's some sort of double entendre[not necessarily sexual] going on, like w/ the confusion re: the kidnapping in fargo or the student trying to cheat in a serious man. but lebowski has a lot of fun realistic conversationy stuff that's just plain weird, which i guess i'm comparing this more to?
wait. Holy shit. is it at all true that “most women don’t like giving blowjobs”!?!?!?!? Like What the FUCK. is this a straight vs gay thing??? i don’t get it……what could turn u on more than being good at making yr partner cum??? (ok well i can think of several things actually but literally why are u having sex w/ someone unless it’s mutually enjoyable i——???? honestly this was maybe the least believable part of the movie 4 me :// can straight women PLEASE weigh in on thisPLEAAAASEEEEE!!!!!!)
re: “they’ve housebroken bobcat” I HAVE TO KNOW whether the bit abt removing the cartoon cat’s butthole was in response to CATS (2019).
this movie feels like propaganda from the norwegian board of tourism. case in point: basically all of the action happens in summer. also, that scene where she runs outside and the world is frozen in time feels kinda like an ad. sorry if my brain has been broken by america superb owl commercial culture :(
it’s fascinating to see a film that’s so contemporary & relatable but also not quite my own life??? kinda like the gaggle of cishet-presenting girls i saw on the train recently—bc i was aware of most of the celebrity gossip & news stuff they were talking abt, but i still came away feeling like i inhabit a very different—albeit parallel—world from them. for more context, here is my best try at a transcript of their convo: www.tumblr.com/cishetamine/701574180800479232/lily-rose-depp-they-were-calling-her-a-nepo
(p.s. please don't get mad at me for snooping on strangers, i'm just one of many credulous clods who once heard that u can get better at writing by transcribing how ppl really talk. & from there i got obsessed w/ doing this whenever someone is having an interesting convo near me. also most importantly, i didn't write down any personally identifying info & also these ppl are totally anonymous anyway. so plz enjoy @ yr leisure!)
love how this dude reminisces abt being a Record Store / Video Store / Comic Store guy !!! i.e., he’s an alt bro!!! love that for him. it's so cute that norway has hipsters too<3 squee!
also luv how "i just took a dna test turns out / i'm 3.1% sami" is the norwegian equivalent of “my great grandmother was a cherokee princess” cosplaying indigeneity
^ overall tho, the extinction rebellion-core gf feels kinda way too flat & one-note……but also i literally know ppl who are like that!! like i've had friends who were into radical veganism + environmentalism & it did seem kind of culty……which is not to say that ppl shouldn't be vegan or environmentalist, of course! but i have absolutely seen it turn into Unhealthy Polycule Drama & we've just seen where that leads, cough FTX / EAs, cough
no but it’s fascinating how this depiction of norwegian ~radical~ environmentalism compares to the scene in the US. for instance i feel like i’ve never heard an american state that they chose not to fly across the ocean bc it would increase their carbon footpri——wait no actually yes i have heard this, but specifically in the context of academic conferences, never like, regarding travel for fun. Interesting difference here!
(^ also, those were basically only professors on twitter who were saying that, not ppl i know in real life. so another level of remove from me)
[meanwhile i would chop off one of my less-important fingers in exchange for being able to fly across the ocean, environment be damned] [anyway tbh i figure it wouldn’t be thaaaaaat evil so long as i was able to stay in that other country for at least several months, as opposed to business travelers who frequently fly back & forth. but i would want to stay bc i would be desperate to learn the language!
which language, you ask? why, my answer is—Yes!]
anyway enough feeling sorry for myself for not being rich. time to feel sorry for imaginary movie ppl instead!
“i don’t want to be the sensible choice while she’s the sexy one” damn that makes a lot of sense! i definitely feel that re: pressure to be Exciting & Spontaneous & Ever-Flexible so that ppl will find u attractive / alluring instead of setting boundaries (given the choice between setting a boundary vs having sex with someone hot, i will almost always choose the latte——ah, but you see, posting this in a public forum where people i've had sex with can read it is itself an act of performati——
So about the main character. We don’t get much interiority of her, like aside from the stuff at the beginning abt her various major + career changes, we don't get to hear directly the thoughts she is thinking—not just bc we don't hear much in the way of interior monologue, but also bc she doesn't explain herself to the ppl around her.
like, she didn't tell her then-bf that there was in fact another guy—which like, honestly, if i were in her situation, i might also take the coward's route! especially if she feared jealous retribution from her current bf. but we don't know if she fears that, bc we never see her talk to her FRIENDS, bc for all we know, she doesn't have any!!!!
which feels very……hard for me to believe? bc i have never met a woman who did not have Friends. (& supposedly guys tend to have fewer pals, but even they usually seem to at least have like, Gamer Buds, idk! i know i always did back when i was a Gamer in high school, even if i was kinda withdrawn irl.)
so i'm left wondering—are we supposed to see her as genuinely friendless? & if so, what does that say abt her?
or are we just supposed to assume that the movie doesn't want to show her friends? if that's the case, why would it make that decision??
if we as viewers are supposed to actually believe that she doesn't have friends that she can confide in whom she is not romantically involved with……it rly paints a very specific (& melancholy!) picture of her as a person. bc that's a stereotype i mostly associate w/ Isolated Guys, but yet she is not that! (i would like to be her friend & talk abt photography..)
still not sure how i feel abt the freeze-time gimmick. Like on the 1 hand—it’s giving crazy ex girlfriend tv show. But also………idk it looks kinda cool regardless!
between this & tár, i feel sooo…………something abt watching 2 movies in a short timespan that contain Bitingly Contemporary Cancellation Scenes, & also cell phones………i………hmm.
thinking abt gretchen from twitter, a noble woman fighting for a just cause (telling adult YA fans to get a life), yet whose ratioing ultimately feels sorta pyrrhic to me, such that i have to wonder if it's worth the stress it presumably causes her.
but also, i am much more of a wimp than many people! for instance, a lot of ppl are strong tough athletes who put themselves thru a lot of pain because they find it enjoyable overall! whereas personally i only do exercise when i can convince myself that it's fun (e.g., biking places, swimming in water that isn't freezing cold)
so what i'm saying is perhaps gretchen sees being a Culture Warrior as a noble pursuit &/or lives for the thrill of the takedown, whereas i'm probably conflict-averse to a fault. (also, on a materialist level, she gets plenty of publicity for fighting the good fight—& as an author, building an audience is pretty crucial to keeping the lights on!)
anyway, right—the reason i'm thinking abt her at all in the context of this film is bc of the Cancel Culture Scene. bc i'm sympathetic to both the comics artist himself as well as his critics—bc like gretchen & her supporters always say, i believe artists have the right to be messy & sexual & graphic & painful & problematic & difficult to untangle……both bc i prefer to consume art (like this movie!) that fits that description, & bc that's ultimately the kind of work i would like to create.
but what's weird abt the tv interview in the gym in this movie is that we don't really even get to see exactly what the feminists debating the comics boyfriend are actually mad at him about. it's all vague—probably bc the point isn't the debate itself so much as its effect on his ex-gf! (& we know this bc the camera spends hella time tracking her facial reactions throughout this scene, as opposed to focusing primarily on the ex-boyfriend being interviewed.)
(btw for the record, i've read some of gretchen's writing but not a huge amount, & i think she's quite talented at describing compelling visual scenes, but i do worry that some of her political commentary is just so on-the-nose that it isn't as funny as it wants to be?
like, sure, i hate raytheon tenderqueers as much as any Good Leftoid! obviously imperialist militaries are evil & should be systematically dismantled, & it's sickening seeing the cynical liberal war machine attempt to suck us gays into its awful whirling gears.
but—as we saw with countless lib comedians attempting to parody trump—just bc you're making fun of something genuinely bad, doesn't mean your jokes are automagically hilarious!)
oh right, i was building toward something—namely: it feels like there's 3 sides in the big Cancel Culture Debate these days:
(mostly but not solely) christian right-wingers who hate the gays
young people who ummm [takes a full minute to check something on my phone] believe barnes & noble should sort books by tone indicator & who think fujoshis will trigger the third impact
cool edgy trans ppl caught in the middle of these 2 groups, martyred like that one saint mishima used to jack off to & permitted to do any crime so long as it is judged as being sufficiently badass by the Council of Trans Elders
anyway i was just gonna say: you know how sun tzu art of war has that thing abt how u should make your enemies fight each other instead of u fighting on 2 sides at once?
yeah, i think we should come up with a new discourse designed to do exactly that. or maybe get the evangelicals & catholics to fight again over whether asexual priests are valid or if they have to be volcel to really count. hopefully they'll wear themselves out, & our[if i may be so bold as to number myself among the Edgy Trans] troops of keyboard warriors will be able to reenter the fray refreshed to fight another day!

Suna being mistaken to be an Uber driver
Genre: crack!
Summary: You typed a wrong number (which is Suna’s) begging him to pick you up. He was annoyed thinking it was Atsumu pranking him at first. He decided to be your ‘uber driver’ because of your desperation. He enjoyed riling you up so he take advantage of you saying that you’ll pay him and his lunch not sexually 😳 but he kinda teased y/n and he insisted that it is a date then.
A/n: So this is my first time writing a fic so bear with me 🤧
You feel the blood in your body drained that your phone only have 4% left, forgetting to plug it in before you sleep last night.
You just ate lunch but due to the stress and excitement to an opportunity for a big shot job interview that you were waiting for in years you momentarily forgot about it while stress eating
now that you finally got the chance you don’t know if you’re going to make it there. You feel like you’re going to throw up with the anxiety you’re feeling now since you know you can’t have a second chance there.
You were already talking to an uber driver and you weren’t sure if they accepted
Panicking, you thought that you need to forget about your shyness and ask the person beside you to borrow their phone for a moment to talk to your driver.
But you typed the wrong digit at the last part as your phone automatically turned off and send a message begging to the person that you mistook to be your driver.
Suna was watching something on his TV finally having some rest from the exessive training the past few weeks. On these rare occasions he avoid getting drag by Atsumu to go to his brother’s resto.
But multiple notifications from an unknown number pops off spamming him. He checked just in case there’s an emergency only to be confused.
“Halo hehe I know it’s lunch time but please, my life depends on u, Please don’t cancel on me! I’ll pay extra!! And for ur lunch!”
“My phone died so I borrowed a phone from a stranger so please 🥺 don’t leave me hanging!”
“Where are you?😖😭”
I only have one chance for this interview and Im broke but I will LITERALLY GIVE ALL THE MONEY I HAVE LEFT IF U PICK ME UP 🤧”
He sighed having enough of Atsumu’s pranks so he ignored it. The messages stop for a moment
“Helo? :D”
“I’m sorry for bothering but you’re my only chance on this :(”
You waited for a reply but still none came. You teared up looking to the person you borrowed the phone from, but they just smiled and said that they are not in a rush, but still you see them looking on their wristwatch.
Suna being done messaged Atsumu to stop messing with him when he’s trying to take a break from hell
And Atsumu replied with “tf u talking about bro?”
“Stop spamming me with this Uber shit, I’m not gonna pick you up”
“The hell? I’m literally driving” and he send a video of him driving with Sakusa in the front sit with Bokuto and Hinata being chaotic at the back.
Suna did not replied and read the messages from the number
The owner of the phone politely asked for their phone back because they were about to leave. You asked for a moment tearing up so they let you be.
“Theyre rlly about to leave please reply if youre gonna cancel on me just so I could know if I’m just going to walk back home :’(”
“Sorry for spamming but I’m panicking right now, it’s wrong to just leave people hanging u know?😞”
Suna sighed not believing what he about to do picking up his car keys and heading out. he’s pissed but not heartless for seeing the desperation on your messages.
“Where are you?” Suna replied
You feel a sudden relief but still you heart is racing
“THANK GOD YOU REPLIED!!😭🤧”
“I’m here in (Address) :< ”
“Ok” Suna replied
“OK THANK YOU!🥺😩, Im gonna return the phone back so don’t reply”
“Btw I’m wearing a suit! And my name is y/n”
You returned the phone to the person saying thank you and sorry, you feel so lucky that this person beared with you. If they did not you’re probably going to spend a few months or so unemployed.
You’re lucky that Suna is near the place where you are but as for him? Not so lucky. He was contemplating on his way about why do he have to do this, regretting every second that he took pity. He could have been resting now.
You have no choice just to wait since your phone is dead, and only a few minutes of waiting an expensive looking car stops infront of you. You step back knowing that you’re blocking someones way in.
The window opened and the person inside called for your name, you were confused and you look around if someone heard, that maybe you only have the same name.
But he called again so you looked to see the person looking at you with an annoyed expression, so you pointed to yourself
Damn why do you have to look aggressive sir? You thought to yourself
“You’re y/n right?” You nodded then he said “get in”
You were shocked like who the hell is this man, are you getting kidnapped? And for many chances that this can happen, it needs to be this day? THE DAY OF YOUR MOST IMPORTANT JOB INTERVIEW
You were about to run before anything happens but he added “I’m the...uber driver” as he sighed looking more irritated, hand over at the back of his neck
You want to keep you mouth shut on the ride but it was your first time riding a car this expensive you can’t help to ask the attractive looking driver
He looks so big compared to your figure and he looks intimidating but you didn’t even hesitate to asked “Am I in a sort of kind of prank?” You were looking for cameras
Suna was dumbfounded with your question.
“You’re an uber driver driving around with this car?” Suna just looked at you but you weren’t looking astonised to the interior of the car
He shook his head. Then you speak again “oh wait...Am I gonna be charged more? Is this like a special service or something?!” You were saving up because you’re unemployed so you really need to be careful with your expenses so you panicked.
Suna looked at you then back to the road amused with your reaction “but then you said that you will literally give all your money if I pick you up”
You gulped “I did? I just said that I’ll pay extra and pay for your lunch” Suna looked at you raising an eyebrow
“Are you asking me out?”
You feel a heat creeping on your face. “No I am not. I just want to make up for my disturbance during your break”
“It’s ok, It’s a yes for me” he saw that you didn’t get what he mean so he cleared “I’ll go out with you”
Suna shamelessly look at you up and down you were shocked and immediately covered you body with your bag
Suna smirked feeling the urge to rile you up since you’re the one who put him into this situation
You were astounded that the driver really manage to say that to a passenger like is he not scared having a bad review for hitting on them? But you thought that maybe he really don’t mind. tots won’t decline a moment like this from this guy 👀
“Aren’t you gonna get fired for hitting on you passengers?”
“Why would I?”
“Uhm because it’s like inappropriate?” You said looking at him all scared you wanted to look normal but you can’t help it.
You beg yourself to look normal so you won’t provoke him becuase you are in a dangerous line here
you don’t even know if this person is really going to drop you off your destination.
Suna chuckled, not expecting how this day’s events will turn out like this, talking to this crazy passenger when he’s not even an Uber driver
After a moment, of you being a dumb bitch again, you asked “Is this like your side job? You know for extra income? Like what the hell do you need the extra income for? having this car and an iphone? And sure yeah you’re also wearing an apple watch” as you glanced to his wrist
“This is not a side job” Suna replied looking at the road with his elbow resting agaisnt the window with his head leaning on his knuckle while his other hand grips on the stirring wheel.
Suna was thinking about many ways to tease you without really crossing the line because he’s basically a stranger.
You saw him smirk which brings a flush in your cheeks affecting you in a way that you don’t want to feel
Remembering asking if this is a special service and he did not answer that. Having this expensive car for a pick up? A driver too hot that he can be a model if he chose to? Is this a new deal in uber? What the hell? You thought to yourself
adding things up your cheeks flushed red when Suna look at your side looking at you darkly with a serious smirk on his face
“So what special service do you want to try?”
“W-w..What?” Your face too red and your heart beating so fast feeling that you’re about to have a heart attack
“We’re still nowhere near you need to be, so decide now if you want to use the time you still have because this is a special offer you see”
You were confused stopping yourself to think about dirty thoughts but the red flush in your face won’t go away boosting Suna’s ego.
“Uhh.. no I’m fine thank you”
“You sure? That’s unfortunate because this might be your only chance”. You hear the playfull sound in his voice knowing that he is smirking you blushed once more but you have high spirits to defend yourself.
You need to clear your name. Embarrassed with the strange situation you thought you’re in to. So you muster all the courage you have left.
“I don’t go out paying guys, I can get a guy I want without bribe or something you know!”
“If that’s the case then why are you paying me?” He tried to stopped laughing just so he could look like he’s genuinely confused leaving a smirk in his face.
Now you think you’re right with your assumption 💀
“WOW! Excuse me sir! I will pay you because you’re my uber driver not because you’re some-“ you stopped not knowing what to say
“some?” Suna is waiting for you to continue raising you an eyebrow looking at you then back at the road
“some...” you shutdown.
“Some?”
“Stop asking me”
“I’m genuinely confused right now y/n” Suna said as you glared at him, thinking how smoothly he can say your name, when you’re here referring to him as ‘hot uber driver’
You decided to say it because you’re feeling that he will continue to bug you “somee...callboy”
Suna could not hold his laughter, so you freaked out not accepting that it might be your last word if you both died in an accident.
Caused of death? The driver laughed too hard when a passenger assumed he’s a callboy.
“Hey focus on the road!” You said hiding your face embarassed.
Suna is taking back his words a while ago that he regrets doing this, since he’s laughing his ass off at the moment.
“A callboy huh?” He smirked and laughed again
There’s something with his laughter that annoys you, but in a good way... but STILL it’s annoying because you know that this man is intentionally making fun of you 😡
“Stop!” Avoiding his gaze wanting to cry because of the embarrassment
“First you thought of me as your uber? And now I’m a callboy?” He is still laughing which annoys you more.
“What??...” You stared at him blankly and he stared back when he stopped over a stop light.
smirking at you while he slowly close the gap between you, a panic spreading all over you face.
“a-are-...you not my uber?” You asked, sweating profusely.
“I’m not”.
You started screaming wanting to go out of the car, you already open the door but the seatbelt stops you in your track
You did not pay for this! Sure he’s hot but what’s happening right now is not justifiable you’re too scared to be turned on with the events unravelling between you and this kidnapper
Suna laughed even more feeling little cramps in his stomach, he is definitely not a person who typically laughs like this but somehow you made him to be like this
“Hey! Hey! Wait! I’m just messing with you!” As he reach out to your elbows pulling you and asking you to close the door because the car behind you is getting restless.
“Dude wtf, I’ll make sure that you’ll get fired after this I swear to god!” You stated with an exasperated expression at him.
You were so scared and paranoid so you watch out where he’s bringing you.
“Ok so I’m really not your uber driver...” he watched you carefully and before you react he speaked “but you spammed a wrong number and begged me y/n so I took pity on you and decided to give you a good service” for a moment he looked genuine but his cocky smirk returned
“WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME AT THE FIRST PLACE?!” you look at him with disbelief
“Because I just want this to be over plus...you’re hopeless.” He looked at you but you glared which only satisfied him
“I’m supposed to be resting today but someone decided for me to be their uber driver” he scoff
You’re pissed off at him for riling you up but there’s no denying that you’re in his debt so you avoid his gaze glaring at the sight outside
You notice that you’re already near. You’re annoyed but still thankfull to him
“I’ll pay you...” as you look at him still glaring but you did not want to meet his eyes “and your lunch” you finally said.
You see him wearing that annoying smirk but it makes your heart falter that annoys you more.
“Asking me out again huh?”
“I’m not”
“Uhm..ok? Whatever makes you sleep at night kitten” he chuckled
You blushed to the nickname “KITTEN? AND WHERE THE HELL DID THAT CAME FROM?”
“We’re practically dating now right? That’s called endearment kitten”
“You’re mad! I don’t even know your name!”
“Suna Rintarō but you can also call me daddy” he smirk and bit his lower lip which made you fluster but he only did it to stop himself for laughing at your reaction.
You didn’t even realized that you were already infront of you dream company.
“Ok I’ll wait for you down here, and I’ll decide where to eat since you’re begging to go out with me” he said seriously
This guy is really getting into my nerves you thought as you try to massage your temples
“You’re gonna have to wait for a while I think” you manage to say because you’re really thankfull for this man’s help. If it wasn’t for him you couldn’t have made it here.
“I’ll wait for you kitten, goodluck on your interview”
Your heart skipped and there’s no denying that your face looks like a tomato
“Kiss you goodluck?” Suna asked teasing you
“No, Suna” you glared at him as you walk out the door and as soon as you turn you back at him you can’t help to smile. You feel mad and flustered at the same time.

so. why vlad (other than like…. Ya know… the obvious girl boss energy)
the WHAT energy
Tumblr media
well, anyway…
- some of you might be sick of hearing about castoria, but even if you’re not rolling for castoria so you can’t double her, support castoria + vlad + tamamo (who you can get with the next free ssr ticket!) is also going to be super strong and near-universally applicable for anything but the most bullshit specific fights.
- classic vlad setups like waver/merlin + vlad + tamamo still hold up in most content (theyre my go-to when gamepress recommendations for challenge quests don’t work lol) and will even moreso when he gets his next buff.
- vlad having as many buffs as he does means you’ll get more interlude/buff quartz out of him than you will basically any of the other SSR ticket picks. vlad will pay you for picking him!
- when compared to his closest competitors, vlad is more versatile than squirtoria and has a stronger NP and facecard deck than galatea, with more opportunities to freely upgrade his NP to boot thanks to being on two SSR tickets, or with more rateup banners if you’re willing
- he still makes a case for being the strongest ST servant today. he’s expensive but worth the investment… especially since JP is adding a material shop and material drop rate CEs and his worst mat (bones) are covered by both. and he can even NP loop without being 10/x/10. i’ve seen 8/x/8 at least.
- he’s dracula in a skirt
- i think he’s outright the most unique and compelling take on dracula/vlad the impaler out there. he has such a strong character motivation and core based on concepts that could only really come out of Fate.
- he’s a dilf
- if you’re not into dilfs he can just be your cool goth uncle who makes you stuffed animals
- this admittedly kind of has to be gleaned from different sources, but he just wants to finally get a good master… he had a string of two really bad masters in a row with darnic then gilles. he outright asks you/the master of chaldea to summon him in orleans, and it wasn’t even standard gacha bait because he didn’t get a rateup for 2 years after that. his materials profile says things like when he does get a faithful master, he “gets pretty roused up” trying to respond to their loyalty (which maybe explains some of his my room lines), and that “he will not stop fighting until he comes across the one who recognizes him as a hero…” please give your local Vlad a good home today (or, uh, on the 14th…)

you dont have to read this in fact dont read it its just me rambling on and on about my guys disgusting emotions with not enough distinction between different sentences. and i think ive probably said a good 3 quarters of it before but i have to repeat myself every now and then because theyre important to me 
argonauts always suffered from anxiety but that also manifests in feelings of incompetence compared to others and in turn a feeling that he doesnt truly own anything hes achieved in any context (which is why he tries so hard in high school to make himself like girls because he feels like being gay is just him copying his parents and nothing about him is truly authentic)(both these feelings stemming from always being in expensive schools and ahead of the class which he feels is mainly because his parents are smart and successful and even though he could keep up he felt like he was struggling through keeping up bc of his mental health and nobody noticed because he did well) which in turn makes him angry and resentful towards anyone who he thinks is even a tiny little bit better than him in any way even if that way is literally just them being older so theyre naturally a bit ahead of him in a field bc they started first. and this doesnt just manifest in academic situations it permeates his attitude towards everything even his interpersonal relationships and its why he doesnt even try to hide that he doesnt like people that fitz had known before him because the jealousy and anger is too taxing to hide anyway. he feels like he just cant compete because he can’t know fitz in the same way hound does (ignoring that they hardly know him) and especially in the same way mave does and he’ll probably never really shake off that feeling at all. he knows its stupid and irrational and hurts their relationship but theres nothing fitz or anyone else can do or say to fix it so he just has to deal with it and it doesnt help when fitz starts (in argonauts mind) confirming his fears that he doesnt know fitz enough and because of that and because he thinks can’t attract people based on his own merits and people get bored of him easily because he cant actually do what it says on the tin it just gets harder for him until he breaks
and fitz suffers from a permeating boredom in everything he does hes very unfulfilled and has been for a long time which is why he just sinks his time into all his addictions and copes with whats really a massive sense of loneliness and lack of capability to be intimate by just having sex all the time because its easier to forget that youre sad and cant talk about your feelings because its been literally physically beaten into you that youre not allowed to talk about them when youre performing intimacy with someone but not actually having a proper connection with them. which is something hes been doing since he was like 16 so its kind of ingrained into him now which makes it very hard for him to find his actual feelings anymore and leads to him just assuming argonaut is going to run away anyway so he braces himself for it by treating their thing casually and fucking around occasionally. like deep down he knows something more is there on his end but his feelings are like so scabbed over and hard to get to that he can barely experience them. the shit that he had to go through in summer of 2008 fucked him up so badly that he just boxed up the shit that he felt and didnt approach it again so when the same kind of thing happens to him again nearly ten years later its kind of a shock to his system. not to mention he was neglected and kinda beaten up as a kid and never experienced much parental affection or had many actual friends so hes kinda stunted in that regard. and he got hatecrimed once. he just kinda feels sick when anyone or even he himself tries to look deeper into his feelings because at once theres both nothing there at all and a pit of gross stuff so murky that its scary and both of those are too awful to face so he tries to just be a surface level person but that ends up hurting him too when the other person finds it easy to break things off because fitz looks like he doesnt care but in reality it brings the black sludge pit of genuine feelings up and strangles him

is starting a record collection an expensive hobby? im considering starting one tbh
it absolutely is anon its so expensive and very inconvenient. its a terrible hobby for beginners. i love it to death though.
the fact is records are kind of an investment as a physical music medium, because theyre significantly more expensive than any other medium for listening to music. the actual apparatus to listen to records is also pricey. although theres cheap players you can get like the crosley cruiser, for a lot of reasons those can do a lot of damage to your albums really quickly compared to others. if youre mostly interested in the novelty or aesthetic (which i want to be super clear, is totally fine and normal) then its fine and probably even recommended, but if youre interested in regularly listening to music on vinyl or the longevity and preservation of your collection id recommend making the investment. i think those cutesy turntables are a nice way to get people interested and good for when youre not sure if you really want to stick to it but if it becomes a long term hobby you should definitely see to upgrading.
if youre wondering why anyone would do this at all if its so expensive, its kind of the same reason people buy physical books when its more expensive and inconvenient than ebooks. its nice to have a way to tangibly and physically engage with the music youre listening to, and its doubly nice if the record itself is nice to look at and well made/packaged. theres a lot of super cool stuff you can do with vinyl that you cant do with digital music, just like theres a lot of cool stuff you can do with digital music you cant do with vinyl. some people just like to have pretty records to look at, some people (who are insane /lh) only listen to music on vinyl for the experience, and some people, like me, like to have pretty records and the tangible experience of dropping the needle and flipping the record and switching out discs and all that. its like a stim for me.
anyway, besides getting old turntables used from craigslist or ebay or a thrift shop (which can be really cheap!) id recommend the AT LP60 or any of its other models for a budget option or the AT LP120 as a solid first investment. if you go for the former youll likely have to upgrade relatively soon but the latter can last you literally forever unless it gets some major damage. thats another thing with cheap turntables, if something goes wrong (and there are a billion things that can go wrong) you have to buy a whole new turntable, while others are extremely modular and (provided you find yourself sticking with the hobby) last years and even decades with a few upgrades as you find yourself needing them. plus these turntables come with a built in preamp which means less expense for you unless you want to upgrade. you also need a pair of speakers, for beginners id recommend getting active speakers since it takes another thing off youre list and means you just need the speakers and the turntable to start listening to records.
as for finding the records, while it is definitely more expensive than any other medium (other than maybe wax cylinders because those are stupid and worse than records in every conceivable way and thats saying something) there are plenty of ways to find savings. going directly to your local record store and crate digging is one way, youll often find used records in good condition. discogs is a great website for finding physical music, especially records. ebay is fine but its prices are generally not as competitive as discogs.
some tips and notes:
coloured vinyl does not sound worse than black vinyl thats a rumour that was started by old white men who were upset teen girls find records pretty (except glow in the dark, that does sound worse)
a lot of things people say are absolutely necessary really and truly arent but that makes it really hard to figure out which things are actually absolutely necessary.
in that vein if someone tells you that you need to remove the preamp from your at lp120 run very quickly in the opposite direction they are an audiophile and cannot be trusted
hold your records by the outer edge and the label instead of pinching the edge and DO NOT touch the grooves.
clean your records with a microfiber cloth before playing them.
i recommend replacing the paper innersleeves with nicer ones.
do not stack records, keep them upright like a book, and also dont keep too many of them squished up close together, and also dont let them lean on each other too much.
be careful with your needle, and keep it clean. also, pay attention to the tracking weight of your cartridge and the antiskate on your tonearm. sometimes a skip on your record is actually because of something wrong here.
the plural of vinyl (the material) is vinyl but the plural of vinyl (as in short for vinyl records) is vinyls because its an abbreviation of a singular phrase. old white dudes are wrong in service of being condescending. this is not new. say it how you want. language and the people who try to police it are both tools.
buy whatever records make you happy and not what you think you should buy.

i saw someone say 03 ed is meaner than fmab ed and thats just...false to me? or if not false, its at least a shallow assessment. 03 ed is quite honestly, and i dont mean this at expense of fmab ed because theyre just different stories (fmab is an epic fantasy type story while fma 03 is an intimate character study), dealing with more than fmab ed.
fmab ed is dealing with something BIGGER, yes (an end of the world issue), but 03 ed is dealing with something much more personal and emotionally difficult/tramatizing (consequences of his own mistakes, his morals and worldview being challenged and broken, very VERY difficult decisions that fmab ed never has to make, etc).
And the way the two series TREAT these things are different, too. fmab ed is protected by the genre, so what would be traumatic irl isnt as traumatic in his universe, while in 03, it’s a huge deal that ed is a child soldier who deals with serial killers and homunculi. those things for 03 ed are treated as traumatic as they are, while in fmab theyre motivators (think how in 03, ed has a breakdown after almost being killed by barry, freezes in his tracks when scar kills a state alchemist in front of him, while in fmab ed more consistently acts competent and like an adult in crisis situations because he’s a hero to be admired—03 ed is meant to be very human, very flawed, and someone who while not always a good role model, is always relatable and sympathetic, according to the writers, which is a direct contrast to how fmab ed is written)
so of course 03 ed is a little rougher around the edges, but i would never call him mean. in fact, i think fmab is meaner than 03 ed. fmab ed is characterized by his rudeness, even toward winry he’s very rude and dismissive of her feelings. and unlike in 03 where the same characters are often more antagonistic (like mustang), his rudeness is often undeserved. fmab ed is mean, and its just a character trait of his. 03 ed even at the most stressful moments in his story, is still kind towards others. look at how he talks to rose in the final few episodes! he’s not at all mean, he’s actually very sweet! any meanness of 03 ed is either at the beginning when he’s cocky and hasn’t yet grown as much as he does by the end (aka its part of his arc, and fmab ed acts the same way), or its meanness that is very well justified, because his situation is so different from fmab ed’s.
03 ed is also objectively a more sensitive character. comparing shared scenes or just their personalities/demeanors at the same time in their journeys between him and fmab and it’s obvious 03 ed is just...softer. he cries over nina and his near death experience with barry, he talks about his feelings of being scared or feeling guilty openly with winry and al while fmab ed never does, he starts his journey more appropriately shy and insecure than fmab ever shows with its portrayal of ed, and more. this doesn’t make him a better character, per se, because i know some people find 03 ed’s sensitivity a downside to his character (althought when they call him “whiny” i strongly disagree. i think he acts realistically, but realistic doesnt objevtively mean better, and an idealized strong hero character like fmab ed is just as welcome as a vulnerable and flawed one like 03 ed), but it does soften his character more by showing vulnerabilty.
and that vulnerability makes it very hard to consider him “meaner” than fmab ed, when fmab ed doesn’t have good Reason to act mean. when 03 ed is mean (and his meanness isnt even “mean” imo, it’s just his appropriate reaction to shitty situations), it makes sense. When fmab ed is mean, it’s just because that’s his personality. but it’s not 03 ed’s personality to be mean or rude. he’s dealing with a lot more and reacts appropriately, but even then i never find him to be mean.

Hometown Cha Cha Cha episode 3 recap: Hyejin goes on a roadtrip to Seoul and takes care of a patient
Short trip to Seoul
Hyejin invites Dusik and the 3 ladies a trip to Seoul. While driving Hyejin gets into a road rage one of the elder ladies gives the driver who caused a close accident a piece of her mind too. During the trip of course there will be eventual rest stops and bathroom breaks which turns out to be hilarious especially when they bought older music, played it in the car too. Hyejin tells the ladies about her parents when they talk about their family histories. She doesnt have alot of patience and is late. Dusik thanks her for driving the ladies despite her annoyed complaints. Dusik has business in Seoul too, she drops him off and he forgot about his phone. Dusik visits a dentist psychiatrist clinic.
Hyejin attends a dental conference. They all brag about their practices and Hyejin lied about the quality of her dental practice saying that she works in a hospital, also how the seaside is more developed. Hyejin continues to mock them and accidentally meets Dusik. Dusik tells her that he saw her invitation inside the car hence knowing her location. Whiel they were talking, one of her acquaintances saw them both and took photos. While driving around Seoul, Hyejin and Dusik competes themselves about their preferred home. Hyejin says that Seoul is better while Dusik prefers the seaside and tells her how suffocating Seoul is with all the buildings. He got a point. Not everyone is meant for either the city life or the seaside. These 2 are totally polar opposites. Dusik asks her to drop him off at the restaurant as there’s an emergency meeting.
When she returned. One of her acquaintances asks her who the man in the photo is and Hyejin doesnt respond at a classroom groupchat. She defends herself and tells them that he’s not her boyfriend. Zooms in on the photo and tells herself that its not cute, but her expression tells different. A flashback scene of Dusik falling asleep in her car. She feels bad for his uncomfortable sleeping position and adjusts his seat. Dusik notices and he remembers that moment. At night, Dusik had a nightmare and we dont know what. He wakes up and drinks some sort of pills. Maybe it was the reason for him visiting Seoul? Does he have a past that we dont know?
Treating Gamri
As dentist and doctors they dont like patients wasting their time. If they come for a checkup they have to pay. Gamri who is pain wants a implant complaints how the fee is expensive and wants to remove her weak teeth. Since she doesnt want to spend on her treatment and tells them to leave. Respect the doctor’s time, they would rather have time with patient who’s willing to pay and pay attention to rather than not. Dusik complains why she’s rude to Gamri.
He eventually paid for Gamri’s treatment but she threw water at him clearly annoyed and tells him to get lost. Dusik convinces Hyejin to treat Gamri since he’ll be paying. Tells her that Gamri’s completely selfless and yet doesnt take care of herself. Hyejin tells him that Gamri is selfish but defends her and says that she’s the most selfless woman that he’s ever met.
Dusik defends her saying that she burdens herself to take care of her children. Hyejin doesnt understand and its frustrating to watch. She tells him that parents being healthy for a long time is what a good parent is to their kids. So when the kid grows up they wont struggle taking care of their parents. Hyejin has a different upbringing so she couldnt relate. They shouldnt endure the pain just so they could save money for their children. Because in the end children will have to take care of them. Hyejin gets teary eyed and emotional when mentioning this. Leaving Dusik teary eyed too and in shock by her response. A flashback memory of Hyejin and her mother. She sees her mother struggling in pain in the bathroom without her mother knowing that she saw the incident. She was very young when it happened. Then the time they were in Seoul, Dusik observed Hyejin watching a mother-daughter and remembered her saying to him that her mother passed away. He inwardly thinks that Hyejin lied to him and obviously she still remembers her mother.
Dusik gets to know her from this alone and understands her view point. Pains to see that Hyejin didnt really had a good childhood and care. Dusik visits Gamri the next day. Tells her that someone told him advice and repeats Hyejin’s words to Gamri. Gamri thinks about his words and i think she’ll do the treatment. Also the reason why Dusik is paying for Gamri’s treatment is because the son refuses to pay. Hyejin complains about the food she eats and notices how the food is difficult to chew. She probably was reminded of Gamri.
Hyejin sees Gamri’s name and meets her infront of her house and Gamri invites her into her home. Gamri showed her appearance at a tv show. It showecase her father who finally gets recognized as a military man who fought for the country’s independence. The piece of certificate has chinese characters that Gamri couldnt read. Gamri new Dusik as a young boy and read the characters for her. He also showed up in the recorded tape. The taping was aired 2 years ago and Gamri tells her that she was named after the flag. Gamri was very proud of her father. They enjoyed their time together and Hyejin enjoyed her meal. Gamri tells her for driving her to Seoul.
Every visit has a reason, Hyejin tells her that she will give Gamri a discount for the materials that will be used. Hyejin tells her to keep it a secret for the reputation of her clinic. Hyejin tells her that she found out that her favorite food is squid and is reminded of her own mother. She eventually helps her with her implants. Gamri probably noticed and tells her that Dusik likely said something to her to make her change her mind. Gamri tells her Dusik is kind but so nosy. Hehe. Hyejin agrees. Gamri tells her that Dusik hung the bell that she likes so much.
The next day Gamri eventually visits the clinic on her own & pays for the entire fee. Gamri reports to Dusik about her implants and Dusik is shocked by her statement. She complains about her anesthesia wearing off. Dusik is very happy that she got treated and tells him that Ms Yoon visited her and offered her a discount. Gamri tells him that she may look cold as ice but she’s a softie. Gamri tells him that she probably been through alot in her life.
Dusik goes to Hyejin’s house after she reported that her lights went out and apologizes to her for judging her. He finally found the other pair of her shoes and returned it to her. Her lights went back on too. Hyejin tells him that she made a mistake, hopefully after earning money she’ll eventually return to Seoul. But i bet Dusik is hoping that she wouldnt and stay.
The epilogue: Dusik found her other pair of shoes while fishing. It was hiding behind the log. Hahaha. Dusik also makes an effort by searching how to clean up the shoe. Dusik also brought the other pair of shoe when Hyejin wasnt looking and sneaked it back to her shoe closet!
Episode 3 - Dont judge the book by it’s cover. Sometimes the way people act is because they were affected from their past. Hyejin is a good person but sometimes her actions comes off wrong and rude but Dusik sees the light in her and treats her better only when she does treat others better too.
Parents also have the right to live the way they want. They earned it but children will always be their priority but in the end it shouldnt be the end of their own life, not caring for themselves. Take care of yourself then you can take care for others
I also love the hedgehog reference. I always wonder when they're going to bring that up! Theyre sharp on the outside but once being cared for they're soft animals. Hyejin is just misunderstood and Dusik is slowly realizing it.
Honestly find the drama really slow and i understand why some may find this boring but i do appreciate the subtle character development each episode. Dusik seem to slowly be more nice and caring towards Hyejin too. Im not entirely sure about this drama. Its definitely more character driven than plot development and its slower compared to other healing dramas. There isnt much going on but hopefully there’s more to it than what they’re showing.

I would really like to know what this Jaws shit that Antis bring up is?? Like, what does Jaws have to do with pe*do shit?? I don't remember anything about Jaws making people kill more sharks or anything like that. I imagine it made people MORE afraid of sharks, but they'd have to have the fear in them already to really make any impact??? (Also if ya do any kind of research on sharks, you'd know that they don't even like eating humans. They only attack because we look like sea lions when on surfboards.)
Ants bringing up Jaws just makes me continuously feel bad about not creating a side blog to dedicate to it.
The Jaws effect is what theyre talking about which is what people say that the movie Jaws is the reason that the shark population is in decline the issue with that is sharks werent studied all that much/at all before the movie they were junk fish... that were already being killed.
I have a hard time with the Jaws Effect because of that and also shark tackle, boats, fishing trips... theyre fucking expensive. Most people are not gonna have the time, money, equipment or experience to fucking decimate the shark population. There were fishing contests! To catch the biggest shark or to catch the most sharks... but the problem still stands and theres a monetary incentive and clout chasing. Also note that other monster animal movies didnt cause any huge spike in hunting of them... cuz there was no money in that.
But none of that really has anything to do with what ants are talking about either. If they were going to compare the effects of problematic fanfics/fanart ya know like... small time, niche shit... itd be more appropriate to compare it to Jaws the book.
Which got no attention and no one cared. Because it wasnt the story that was the problem it was hype and money that was the problem. Jaws was a huge hit, people capitalized on it cuz they didnt give a shit about these shitty junk fish and they didnt understand how important they were to the environment.
And even now when it IS known and Jaws is just a fun movie everyone likes... people still dont care enough about it because theres money to be made.

Ooc.; also other stuff im giving my 2 Cents to, so skip if you dont care
[[MORE]]
Puberty blockers:
PBs are not irreversible lmao. They don't mutilate a minors body. They merely keep puberty on hold long enough for the minor in question to have time to make sure they want to transition. PUBERTY is what is irreversible. Imagine going thru puberty and growing into a body that at worst will make you wanna KYS and at best hate looking at yourself in the mirror. Do you know how expensive transition can be after puberty? PLEASE do more research before making asinine statements like PBs being comparable to mutilation. PBs only hold puberty as long as theyre being taken, meaning that if you stop taking em puberty will set in just as it usually would.
"Even hormone blockers and transitional hormones are largely untested when it comes to long term effects" is a baseless claim which a little googling can be disproven.
"One of my friends in high school medically transitioned, and it did nothing to help their dysphoria. It just made them even more depressed, and they later killed themselves." I'm sorry for your loss, genuinly. That really sucks. But as much it makes me look like an asshole for saying this, this is an appeal to emotion (aka not factually backing your other claims) and also circumstancial. If your friend's suicide was tied to their transition, their case is just that: theirs. One of the biggest contributors to trans suicude rates is the unattainability of affordable transition and dysphoria caused by the changes made by puberty, only topped by abuse from people towards trans people. By advocating for PBs to be prohibited or limited, you don't help. You make the problem worse.
Communism:
"I’m against Communist and Fascism as they’re both extremely Authoritarian systems that give the government complete control over how you live your life." Since I'm a socialist and not a communist I cant speak for communism, but most allegedly communist states today still basically operate on a capitalist core, where they have communist parties etc., but still have a free market for instance. China for example, but Russia too.
Capitalism amasses copious amounts of wealth on the backs of the lower class in a short amount of time but is ultimately unsustainable. Vaush on youtube has a number of videos on this I recommend you to check out.
Healthcare:
"You can’t have a right to the services and labor of another person, their own freedom is taken away by that." No one is saying that should happen. Ideally, the state pays for this healthcare and before you say anything about that: I'm from a country without america's privatized healthcare. It's never been an issue here, people aren't fucking terrified shitless to go to the doctor bc they could go into crippling debt. Sure, you gotta wait a lil longer than someone w a private insurance company (which still exists but isnt necessary to live) in the waitingroom but that's annoying at worst.
I went to america end of 2019 to visit my gf and I fell really ill there. I had to go to the doctor there and I nearly felt my soul leave my body when I had to pay 100 FUCKING DOLLARS HOLY SHIT. thats nearly a fourth of my monthly income bro, how can you claim this to be okay? Ofc medstaff still need to be paid but oh my gods this is not okay. If I had to live with this system for the rest of my life it's fair to say I'd never go to the fucking doctor. And that'd be worse for the docs AND FOR ME.
"If you die or develop incurable illness awaiting treatment for months, there’s nothing anyone can do. If you’re treated right away and unfortunately end up with loads of medial debt, it’s unfortunate, but you’re still alive. You can still try to fundraise money, get donations, or if you’re skilled, work it off. It’s really shitty, but necessary." N- no????? It reaLLY ISNT THOUGH??? As I've stated before, this is not an issue w public healthcare. It's smth that's an issue in general and it DOES happen in america right now. Where I live this doesnt happen to my knowledge. Why should it? The gov is gonna pay anyway so might as well get it done and get the next patient. You shouldnt have to go into debt to live. That's not humane.
"I don’t think the poor should die, I don’t want the suffering to be left to their fate." Contradictory to the part where you think going into debt is necessary. Being in debt IS suffering. *I* am in debt, and I suffer because of it everyday. And it's not because of healthcare.
When going into debt to heal is your only option as an alternative to possibly dying or suffering on, then making that choice is like having to choose between the black plague and cholera.
"Buy a gun, grow a garden, learn to build shelter, and make plans to invade a neighboring territory and become it’s technocratic warlord after your country collapses into an unlivable hellscape." Making a joke like this at the end of a post about serious topics like this is kind of trivializing the entire issue and a little disrespectful. Don't do that please. It's like you're comparing to Fallout 4 and I shouldn't need to point out why that's bad.
At the end of the day, Im not trying to change your mind bc thats futile and not my job. But I do absolutely intend to fact check claims I know for a fact are BS, or educate myself to make my own judgement, and so should you. If you want to know how truthful smth is, listen to multiple scources (centrist AND leftist) and crosscompare wether what you hear abt certain leftist ideas is in fact true or not.
Or dont and continue living in an echochamber. Your call.
Have a nice day.

Ngl the best part of reading young justice is the absolute confusion the rest of the team gets anytime tim uses his batfam com to contact oracle. Like, the rest of the team doesn't always use those coms, but the batfam have theirs anytime theyre in uniform, and have a phone or com on them any other time as well. The team honest to God thinks oracle is the name of a well programed computer, because they dont think any human could do anything online that quickly.
And like, YEA it's hillarious to read, but it also kinda reinforces that, even though he's a kid sidekick, he, in his home environment, is uo their for "most competant" on the team. That doesn't necessarily make him a great leader, but it really makes the bats stand out amongst the rest of the world's heroes. They DONT have superpowers, and their villians are literally fucjing insane, or hypercompetant, when compared to most other rogues galleries, even the star city rogues. There is an irony that one of superman greatest nemesees is a normal human in an expensive suit, and that batmans greatest enemy is a hyper-insane sadistic asshole hellbent on destroying gotham for the sake of a psycological warfare game and a laugh. Lex has a goal, can be predictable, but joker plays with and hurts people cause he gets a kick out of it, and frankly, he's ridiculously competent at doing this. He doesn't NEED all the resources in the world, because he's good at plans that, one way or another, involve enough steps that he gets what he needs on the way the the end. Everything is a chess move for him, except the chess game is a horror clown house.
Im not saying joker is a more-evil or more competant villian than lex, it takes SUPERMAN to take down lex in his suit, after all, and while superman might be able to actually get all of jokers bombs into space or saving all the civilians while they detonate, equally so that members of the batfam are probably the only detectives in the world good enough at what they do to put lex behind bars for good, and wayne money and lawyers are probably the only money and lawyers that could go toe to toe with lex's and win.
What I'm saying is, no, the bats aren't the most powerful of dc's villians, but they ARE some of the most competant at actually stopping criminal activity (revolving door of Arkham ignored. Thats not technically their fault) metas and alien heroes are more physically able to handle threats, but the fact that many of them are susceptible to any regular human with any form of advanced martial arts is really very telling. And again, thats not to shit on other heroes! There is very little most of the batfan could do against zoom, or zod, or most of wonder woman's rogues for that matter, but, save for signal, the batfam CANT lose their ability to fight crime unless they A) get amnesia or B) get physically maimed beyond repaire.
(they've handled the first of these very poorly, but the later very well, sans some of the Barbara stuff. But like, a paralyzed Barbara still living badass and being the "man in the chair" for all computer stuff is *peak*, and and batman beyond premise of an aging batman doing everything he can to stay fighting until he passes on the mantle is, wildly IN character for Bruce, and even after passing on the mantle, HES A TOTAL BADASS! He sees his younger self and instead of being wistful he basically goes "damn i was incompetent back then" and moves on. Well done dc, well done)
My point is. Seeing Tim reach back to the bats for help when hes working with young justice is both funny, because I fucking love oracle, and also a kind of slap in the face that while YJ are heroes in their own right, many of them are still very, very green. And while ALL of the core 5 have their own complexes abt living up to their mentors, Tim is never the one who worries abt his competence as an individual. He KNOWS hes a good detective and fighter, his worry is abt failing batman in other ways, but even then, he lies to the man constantly in order to assert his own Independence from him, and to do what he thinks is best. He doesnt see himself as batmans equal yet, but he knows he will be someday.
Of all the heroes, the bats, for all their emotional constipation, are the most practical, and they operate the most like a fully functional machine. And it READS in a way that makes them seem like they're in a league above the rest.
Anyway, the bats are weirdly competant and I love oracle and tim is my CHILD and while I love most of DCs heroes the air of practicality and trained-in hypercompetance the bats radiate makes me happy.

((EDIT!!! idk if the read more break can be seen on mobile but when i was editing, there's a break after the ask & idk how to fix it so im so sorry aaa))
Tumblr media
***
The room is so empty
I can hear my own heartbeat
Day and Night
The sound of pencil on paper
It echos
I just want someone to talk to
Someone to hold me close
To make the room feel less empty
The words faded on the white paper as the ink on your pen ran out. You clicked your tongue and sighed as you look around the park you're sitting at. Just the cherry on top of your already dismal day, you thought.
It was a cloudy day but you squinted at the harsh light of the sun peeking slightly through the wispy clouds. You leaned back on the warm bench and closed your tired eyes. You slowly inhaled the delicious summer air but your chest feels as hollow as the tube of ink inside your pen.
"Karl! No!"
A voice suddenly rang from somewhere near and as you sluggishly open your eyes to peek, something heavy and fuzzy landed on your lap, causing you to shriek and jump from your seat. Your heart raced from the surprise, but as you quickly realized that it was just a raccoon who got attracted by the leftover peanuts you have on your side, you heaved a sigh of relief.
"No! Stop that!" A man with messy hair and an outfit that's undoubtedly too hot for the weather rushed to you. His eyes are barely visible through his dark overgrown hair but it wasn't able to hide the handsome features beneath.
"It-it's okay," you said shyly, mentally hitting yourself for stuttering. "He can have it. I don't mind."
"I really do apologize," the unknown man said, his voice low and trembling. He scratch his temple in embarrassment. "Karl is just crazy for peanuts lately."
You just gave him a meek smile and fiddled with the notebook on your lap. You thought about how cute it is that he has a pet raccoon, how cute it is that he named it with such a humanly name, and how cute he is.
Wait, what.
Heat rushed from your body and up to your face, feeling foolish for having such a thought with someone you just met. You hunched to hide your face, fearing the stranger would see the blush covering your cheeks.
"Can I sit with you?" He asked, snapping you away from your thoughts. "M-my name is Edgar, by the way. Edgar Allan Poe."
Your eyes traveled up his slender form. Despite his dark clothing, his timid and humble appearance made it easier for you to let him enter into your space. He thanked you and asked for your name in return. And just like that, your otherwise usual and grey day became colorful like the evening sky as you sat there beside him, familiarizing yourselves with each other while the innocent racoon eat the rest of the stale peanuts on the bench.
Is this a dream?
Is it real?
He was so close
Yet so far
We sat together for hours
The time was ours
But now it’s not
It slipped away
So quickly
Birds chirped around you as you looked up from your writing, searching through your surroundings and hoping to see the stranger once again. The more hours that passed, the more that you're starting to believe that it was just all somehow a vivid hallucination. You sighed in defeat and eyed another blank spot on your notebook. You thought about writing another poem about how sometimes, it's better to stay in an illusion than face reality because at least in your daydreams, wonderful things happen.
You pressed the tip of your pen on the paper to write the first letter of your work when all of a sudden, the ink bled all over the page, causing you to spat a curse under your breath. You quickly handled the situation, making sure that your clothes and the rest of your notbeook isn't affected by another one of your daily misfortunes. You groaned and pulled out the wipes out of your bag, aggressively wiping the stubborn ink blots on your hand.
"Um, are you okay, (Y/N)?"
You glared up to the quiet voice that called out your name. The tightness of your facial muscles from frowning slowly loosening up as you recognize the figure in front of you.
Poe's tall physique shaded you from the blazing sun and from where you are sitting, he looked just like a dream; a mirage that manifested out of your imagination and into your reality.
"I'm... I'm okay," you mumbled. Your heart thumped heavily against your ribcages as you remain frozen, your wide eyes glued to him as if you're scared that he'll disappear if you blink.
He flashed you a bright smile and gingerly sat beside you. Poe eyed the notebook on your lap and saw the familiar structure of the words on it.
"You write poems?" He asked with excitement evident on his voice, pulling you back to the ground. As Poe reached out to have a closer look with the item, you swiftly pulled away.
"Don't!" You exclaimed. The volume of your voice made nearby passerbys turn their heads on your direction and Karl critter on Poe's shoulder as if by surprise, too.
Poe was taken aback by your reaction as well but being a creator himself, he quickly understand that there is a certain reservation an artist have with its works. He understands the insecurity of being not good enough or questioning yourself as to why are you even trying when there's always someone out there that can do better than you. He knows the feeling very well.
"I'm sorry," he said calmly. "I know an artist's works are always very personal. I shouldn't have intruded."
Guilt spilled all over you and spread a bitter taste on your mouth. "I'm sorry, too," you sighed after a while. "I'm just not ready to show it to anyone yet. It's not your fault."
"I understand. I am a writer myself," Poe said with a gentle smile. "However, if the time has come when you've finally found the courage within you to be proud of yourself and your creations as an extension of yourself, it'll be my pleasure if you'll have me as the first person that would ever lay eyes on it."
Poe's words echoed to the deepest parts of your being. You felt bare to the bones, like everything that you've tried so hard to hide is just somehow exposed for him to see. Gone was his timid character and he's now exuding confidence; a sense of sureness in everything that can only come to people who has been through the ringer and survived to be an inspiration. Your eyes glistened to see another layer of his natural mystique unfold in front of you. Right then, you were filled with the hunger to know more, to uncover more, and to see more of his fascinating self.
Karl climbed down from Poe's shoulder, searched for something on his layered clothes and ran to your lap with an object wedged between his pointy mouth.
"It's a gift," Poe explained when Karl dropped an expensive looking pen in front of you. "I hope you never stop creating, despite of life's minor inconveniences."
"Would you meet me here again tomorrow?" You asked without you even realizing that you were speaking aloud and feeling the weight of your question only after it's done.
Poe tensed up on his seat. Your question was unexpected and it made his own heart raced for a reason he can't quite explain. However, seeing your eyes looking more alive than when he first met you delighted him and he gave you a humble smile.
"Karl has an appointment with the vet tomorrow," he said with his usual gentle voice. "But we can meet at the cafe nearby after."
Your heart soared way above the cloudless sky that day as a big smile stretched your lips and you felt like you haven't smiled like this for a while now. You accepted his invitation and noted the place and time on your notebook. For the first time in a long time, you felt thankful. You thank yourself for being able to push the words out, albeit almost unconsciously, and you thanked life. Despite the mishaps and blunders it brings you everyday, it gave you the opportunity to meet someone. A someone who made you look at everything in beautiful colors you don't even see before. You view everything so differently now; everything including yourself.
Months have passed since that fateful day and you still can vividly remember how your world shifted from then on like it was just yesterday. You meet Poe with any spare time you have and with every moment you spent with him, you got to know all of the layers of his being and in return, he got to know yours. You felt like you're rediscovering yourself as you open up to him. You felt freer. As time went on, a certain feeling crept up on you. It was a strange but awfully familiar feeling that sits inside your chest, like an everlasting bonfire that warms you up from inside out.
The paperback cover of the notebook crunched as you gripped on it tightly. Your mind is foggy with nervousness and immediately doubting if you've made the right decision to finally show him your poems. You shifted on the same bench you sat the first time that you've met and you waited for Poe, all kinds of imaginary scenarios playing in your head in the meantime.
"Hey, (Y/N)!"
You finally heard his familiar voice, a sound that no music can compare to. He was cheerily waving at you, you waved back and nervously greeted him. You laid peanuts on the bench for Karl and he happily hopped off of Poe's back to get on his treats.
"So, you've finally found your courage, huh?" He said before sitting down on his usual spot beside you. "I'm really proud of you, (Y/N). I know it wasn't easy. This is a big step for you and I want to thank you for choosing me."
Your anxiety dissipated in a snap. The flames on your heart grew bigger and brighter with his encouraging words. This tender moment solified your suspicion; you're absolutely, undoubtedly, sincerely in love with him.
"No, Poe," you replied, "I should be the one thanking you. You're the one who showed me that I have that courage inside me in the first place. I can't even begin to explain how you've changed my life."
"Well, that's what art is for, isn't it? To help us express what our words can't," Poe said, his warm smile never leaving his lips. "Besides, my words wouldn't mean anything if you didn't made the decision yourself. It's all you, (Y/N). Give yourself more credit, won't you?"
You beamed at him, the fluttering feeling on your chest continue to grow and filled every part of your being where you used to feel hollow. Your fears disappeared and you handed him your notebook like you're handing him your heart. Poe reached out for it, handling it as gently as you would a china doll.
You sighed contently and gaze at the clear sky above you as you let Poe flip through the pages of your notebook like you're letting him flip through the pages of your life. Every experience you've went through, every emotions, every secret thoughts and desires and everything that lead up to the person you are now; all of them contained in a single book.
Karl muched on the last peanut you laid out for him as Poe reached the last poem.
 Love, what a beautiful thing
It makes my heart flutter
No matter how much I mutter
I always stutter
Those simple words
It races when he’s near
And falls when he’s far
Why can’t I tell him?
Poe's concealed eyes widened and his racing heartbeat vibrated on his whole body. He knows it's an absurd thought to assume the poem is about him but somehow, he was certain that it was. He thought that perhaps it's just wishful thinking brought by his delirious affection he's been hiding from you for a time now.
"You're really promising, (Y/N)," his voice wobbled as he said your name and he cleared his throat as he tried to give you a more constructive feedback. "I can really feel the emotions on your works. Every artist has their own way of making art and you shouldn't feel insecure with how you choose to express yourself. Art isn't about pleasing other people, it's only about you. If you're confident with yourself and your work, other people will reflect that. All you have to do is to stay true to yourself. And as far as I know, you are capable of making more beautiful poems, because you're beautiful."
The distant sounds of people and animals in the busy park rang as the both of you froze on your spots, equally taken aback by Poe's compliment.
"I–I–I mean, you're a great person, that's all," Poe stammered, full of worry for his well-kept secret.
You turned your blushing face away from him and chewed on your lips. Thoughts on whether you should finally admit to him your feelings rushed through your mind. Karl, finished with his snack, climbed on your lap and looked at you as if he's conveying a message. You know that he's probably just asking if you have any more peanuts for him but at that moment, you took it as an encouragement for you to tell him about the nagging feeling inside you that occupies every corner of your mind.
"The last poem," you told Poe while looking at the ground, "I wrote it for you."
Poe once again picked up the notebook, turned it on the last entry and re-read it. He felt like he's being choked out of air as he drowned on the exuberant joy he's feeling as he realized what you meant. His head whipped at your direction, looking at your fidgeting form and felt an urge.
He moved closer to you and gently called out your name. When you turn your head to face him, he reached out and touched your cheek. His finger traced along your jawline and ended on your chin. Although his eyes are barely visible, you can see the solemnity of his gaze and your heart skipped a beat.
"I feel the same way, (Y/N)," Poe confessed as his thumb caressed your lower lip.
You were happy. You were happier than you've ever been in your entire life and yet, your eyes strained as tears threatened to fall. You smiled at Poe and slowly closed your eyes, giving him the permission his gentle touches are asking.
Poe's lips closed in on yours and the rest of the world was quiet as you return his kiss, letting your feelings unravel and tangle against each other. Everything felt right, like every puzzle piece has been put in their place and the picture is complete. You felt the satisfaction, the pleasure, the joy and the pride. You finally understood why there are so many stories, poems, songs and artworks about love. It's just one of those things that can only be truly explained through art. One thing is certain in your head now: love, it is truly such a beautiful thing.

hai! i was wondering if i could have a fic where the reader is already dating souichi, and his family is super shocked at how nice and innocent they seem, but then find out theyre actually extremely morbid and into dark magic and the occult? it honestly just sounds funny to me but that might also be because its 1 am,, thanks!
【I’m sorry i changed the morbid and darkmagic part into horror movies and bugs! AAhhhh i didn’t know how else to nonchalantly add that stuff into the ff!! I apologize!!! Other than that, i tried really hard on this ahhh... Its kind of long too... I hope you like it!! :) WORD; zabuton: cushion used for sitting on the floor (there are probably a bunch misspells and shit in this, i will fix it tomorrow morning, but for now please enjoy!!)】
 Your heart raced as you got closer to the door. You couldn't believe that you were actually going to meet your boyfriend's family for the first time. 
 You and Souichi had been going out for more than a year now, and he felt that it was time that you finally met his family. One day, when you had time before a movie that you two were planning on watching together, he asked you to come over his house.  
 You had never gone this far in a relationship before, so you were extremely nervous. You didn't know what they would think of you, what they expected of you, what they wanted you to be like, and if they would even accept you at all.. 
 You mind span as you thought of all the things that could go wrong the second they looked at you. 
 You wanted to run away. You wanted pretend that you never made plans to go see a movie with him in the first place. But, this had to happen one day or another. 
 You shakily bring your hand up to the door and knock. After a few seconds it opens. Standing on the other side was Souichi. Your heart skipped a beat when you saw him. For some reason, he looked more handsome than usual. 
 Without a word he gestured you into the house. His house looked completely different than yours. From the wide entrance to the seemingly never ending hallway. You look down to where everyone's shoes were placed. There were 4 different pairs. You start to worry if you could even handle being around 3 different people in such a small space at the same time. 
 Souichi calls for you and starts to walk down the hallway. You take off your shoes and quickly follow him. 
 You both stop at the open living room door. Inside it stood his family. They were standing around a low table with snacks laid out on it. Their eyes widened when they saw you. You nervously smile and bow before entering. Souichi’s mom greeted you first, saying how it was an honor to finally be able to meet you. You didn't know how to react. You were in shock at how different everyone looked and acted compared to Souichi. It was as if you had stepped into a completely different family’s house.
 You bring yourself back to reality and thank everyone for allowing you to join them that night. They all giggled at your obvious nervousness. You honestly felt like your heart was going to jump out of your chest.
 Souichi's mother asked you to sit down as she handed you a drink. You sat on top of an expensive looking zabuton, and thanked her again. You smile at the fact that they probably took these out just for you.
 Kouichi was the first to break the silence. "So, Y/N. How long have you and my brother been going out?" You put your glass down and reply in a low voice "More than a year..." "Hmm.. more than a year you say. So that’s why he’s been acting so weird lately." “Weird?” “Yeah, getting up early for school and actually trying to make himself look good.” Kouichi teases, making Souichi retaliate back. You watched as the two of them interacted. One teased while the other shyly yet angrily replied back. 
 Suddenly, Sayuri started to whisper to you. "Y/N, can i ask you a question?" You nod a yes "You don't have to answer if you don't want to but... what do you like the most about Souichi?" The room went quiet at Sayuri’s question.
 Souichi stopped arguing with Kouichi and fixed his position in his seat. You had never actually directly told Souichi why you liked him. So this was his first time hearing you response as well. 
 You look at the floor, as your face heated up. Thinking of the reasons why you fell for Souichi in the first place was much more embarrassing than you expected.
 "Well.. I like how... I mean..." You fumble on your words as you try to figure out where to start from. You look up at everyone, close your eyes for a second, and take a deep breath before speaking again. "The reason I like Souichi is because he's really nice to me.." You begin. "He's also super smart and funny and..." You voice trails as his family continues to stare at you. You look at the opposite direction of Souichi and gesture towards him "a-and.. he's really cute..." Souichi's face was bright red by the time you finished talking. He froze in place, completely embarrassed by what you had just admitted in front of his family.
 Everyone except you and Souichi begin to laugh. "You're so cute, Y/N!" Sayuri says, smiling at you. As time passes, the awkward atmosphere slowly started to dissipate, as you were now able to casually converse with everyone. You shared snacks with Souichi, and laughed at embarrassing stories about his younger days. Souichi quickly got bored of the conversation, and left to get the remote for the television. 
 When he was about to grab it, he loudly squeaked “Spider!” Everyone stopped talking and looked in his direction. Souichi slowly backed away as no one moved a muscle. You made a confused face and got up from your seat. You slowly walked over to the spot where Souichi had apparently seen a spider. “It’s a huntsman spider!” You say as you swiftly pick it up. Everyone quickly backed away from you as you turned around, holding the spider on the palm of your hand. “It’s still a baby so it’s small. They don’t have poison in them so there’s no need to be afraid. I’m actually surprised this little guy is here though. They usually only hang out in areas with lots of bugs and easy to catch vermin.. like rats!” You walk closer to them, trying to show that the spider was harmless, but this caused Souichi to speak in a voice higher than Sayuri’s. “O-Okay, Y/N! I think we get it!” You laugh at everyone's reaction and excuse yourself to go outside to release the spider. 
 Before you stepped back into the room, you overheard Souichi’s dad talking about you “She’s a brave one, isn’t she! Is she always like that?..” “She actually doesn’t release them. She likes to collect them.” Souichi says, making everyone gasp at the newly learned information about you.
 You sigh and curse yourself for doing something that obviously made everyone feel uncomfortable.
 When you got back into the room, you crouched by Souichi and whispered. "By the way, it's almost 8.." "Oh? Is the movie starting soon?" Souichi’s mom asks, looking a bit sad at the fact that you might be leaving soon. “What movie are you guys going to watch?” Sayuri asks. "I think it’s called JuOn, right?" Souichi nods, confirming your response. "The horror movie?" Kouichi says in a surprised voice. "Yeah! They’re playing it tonight as a Road-Show special and well.." Your voice tails off, suddenly feeling embarrassed again. "Wait, you like those type of movies too?" He asks, unable to believe that someone as shy and innocent looking as you would like those kinds of movies. "Yeah.. i guess so.." You try to play off his reaction, but Souichi came in and started to talk for you "Y/N is actually a horror movie buff.” You look at Souichi as he starts to spill the secret of your love for horror-related things. “Her taste is kind of bad, but sometimes she picks good movies, like tonight." You cover your face, too embarrassed to look at anyone.  
 In fear that Souichi’s family thinking you were weird, you actually tried to keep your true interests a secret. But, Souichi had to go ahead and blab them all anyways. 
 "Wow... first the bug collection and now horror movies? I never would have guessed you were that type of person, Y/N" Sayuri says, looking at you and Souichi "I guess you could say... you two a match made in hell!" She laughs at her own joke, causing you to slightly cringe. Koichi laughed along, calling Sayuri’s joke dumb yet true. 
 When time came close for you two to leave, Souichi got up and gestured you to follow him. You quickly got up and bowed to everyone. “Thank you so much for having me today. I’m very glad to have been able to meet you.” You happily say, no longer feeling as nervous as you were in the beginning. His family thanked you back and told you to be safe. 
 As you walked towards the door of the house, you quietly laughed to yourself. Souichi’s family was nothing like him. Nothing, except for the obvious fear of spiders.

RFA Boys with Kids (Elementary School MC Works at Edition)
requested: by anonymous (with special request to make jumins the most prominent its not my fault for once guys!!!)
a/n: i think in 4th grade we had an astrologist come to our class and talk about the moon and stuff and he was terrifying cuz he sat on my desk the whole time but it was super cool and talked about the world imploding!!
if you want to support my fluff writing, buy me a coffee!
warnings: hhhh flüüf
-happy! mod alex
Tumblr media
Jumin
-It was your guys’ 3 year anniversary, and Jumin insisted on picking you up directly after work, eager to spend every second of the next 96 hours with you, especially since you Insisted on going to work, unable to leave your precious second graders with a substitute, especially not on the last day before spring break!!!
-he’d always avoided going to your school, not because he hated kids he just... feared them.
-yes, Jumin Han, director of C+R Internationals only fear was jam-handed children. dont get me wrong, it wants a fear as in “run away screaming,” more he was afraid that anyone under the age of 10 would be intimidated and cry when he spoke. the rfa already made enough fun of him, he didn't need more rejection in his life
-sadly (for him, luckily for us), he forgot the time you got out of school, ending upside your classroom about two hours earlier
-he stops dead in his tracks, hand stopped midway to a knock as a bouquet of roses hid behind his back as he looks at the 20 or so 7 year olds staring at him with bright questioning eyes
-he tries to escape and back out of the class before you notice him, but you immediately see him, face lighting up as you bound towards him happily, throwing your arms around him, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling him into the class, introducing him as your husband 
-a part of him likes that, the idea of not having to be “CEO” or “Mr. Han,” simply your husband
-he’s fairly awkward especially seeing as he’s so tall compare to these little Jam-Handed Monsters?? ... maybe they weren’t monsters... they were kind of cute actually...
-when you take out all the flowers from the bouquet, giving each student a flower instead, he can feel his heart melting, the first smile forming at the corners of his mouth as he sees you so bright and happy, and the way you rect upon seeing the kids own smiles
- “Everyone say Thank You Mr. Han!”     followed by a chorus of “Thank you Mr.Han!!!)
-he wants to protect all these kids from all the bad in the world
-luckily, he came in time for story time, and after you slyly suggest him being the other reader, the expectant and loud children agreeing with you made him do it, doing silly cartoon voices for the characters he portrayed
-Jumin sitting on the Elementary School Rug, the one with the alphabet and boxed colours on it where everyone should sit, his expensive $700 suit wrinkling as he tries his best to kneel down and be to the kids level
-theyre not as scary as he thought! and every time he saw them really... it filled him with a sense of protectiveness he didn’t know he had for anyone outside of his immediate family 
- “MC... lets start a family together” 
Yoosung
-he came over for career day! being a successful vet straight out of college took skills, hence the idea that he come around to the school
-he’s really sweet with the kids, and laughs awkwardly when they ask about his and your relationship, getting flustered and immediately switching the topic to something cute Lisa did
-he can’t spend a lot of time with them because he has to get back to the office, but he also doesn’t spend a lot of time on lecturing them on his job, opting to do some colouring pages with them instead
-shy bean, he’s not necessarily the one to jump into action with them, (lets be honest, second graders are terrifying), but the class likes him, and sometimes he brings Lisa around, which blows their minds
-he’s kind, and being in the presence of Lisa he suddenly becomes so comfortable, smile forming on his face as he teaches a particularly curious girl how to properly respect a cats space, violet eyes brightening up immediately with pure joy
-supportive, and bb kit doesn’t seem to mind, even getting comfortable on some of the kids backpacks
-they all love his white lab coat, and take turns trying it on
-he almost dies of cute overload when on boy holds up his arms proudly, letting the (way too large) sleeves of the coat drop to the floor as he grins widely 
Seven
-volunteers for Everything
-field trip in need of chaperones? special school events need volunteers? kids birthdays? he’s there for all of them no matter what
-he loves being present with them, a part of him feeling healed as he gets to have a glimpse of a childhood he never had, the future he would want his children to have some day
-no matter how silly it may seem, he’s the type to sit with a crying kid until theyre smiling and feeling better, telling the child little jokes and stories until they feel better, making sure to listen to their issue and support them, making sure that they know that their feelings are valid.
-everyone loves Seven in your class! he’s become a cryptid in the school, as the only people that ever actually see him is your class, and no one in the other classes is going to believe the story that theres a red-headed man with funky glasses bringing cupcakes for everyone 
-he tells the most embarrassing stories about you to the kids, reveling in your embarrassment 
-he gets more sad than anyone else when the school year is over, having gotten very attached to your class, where he almost cries as he wishes them a good summer
Zen
-the first time he visited your school was when you’d forgotten your lunch at home, only dropping a sweet hello to the class as he rushes to work
-he doesn’t initially has plans to come back, but a certain few students had become completely enraptured by Zens presence, and wanted to know when the “pretty weird eyed man” would be back
-he loves coming to your school, always conducting fun sing-a-longs as 20 or so 7 year olds gather around him
-having him in the class is more of a disruption, someone who’s fun to hang out with and with him, you know that no one’s going to be doing any work no matter what you say
-more than anything, he loves how the two of you will team up to help a students problem, and sometimes,, if he blocks out the rest of the world... he can imagine that that’s your child
-he’s got insane paternal instincts, and Will Not Stand For anyone getting hurt
-being at the school and seeing you at work and being around children.. really makes him crave that sense of family, building a family with you, the love of his life and being,,, well, happy.
-he lets the children play with and braid his hair, letting them even put flowers in it if they want
-a big ole softie, just wants to know everyone is happy
