2:55 AM
Ft. Itoshi Sae
Got this idea and i just had to write it because why not. Anyways. Reblogs + feedbacks are highly appreciated!!
Tumblr media
It's late. It's way past midnight and you both should be sleeping instead of sitting on the sofa with your heads in your hands trying to figure out how to get out of the problem at hand. You tried your best to sleep but the persistent buzzing of your phone due to the incoming notifications left you sleepless.
"I thought we were careful enough," you took your phone in your hand, opening Instagram only to be spammed by notifications that said you were tagged in several photos and comments by random accounts. There were also thousands of follow requests from said accounts.
"We were careful. They just get their way every single time," Sae had talked to his manager a few hours ago about how a picture of the both of you had taken the internet by storm.
You were out for a date with Sae after his recent victory. The picture was taken after the date when Sae had kissed you under the street light beside an empty park or at least what you thought was an empty park. When you first saw the picture trending, the fans did not yet know who you were, you were still an unknown person who seemed to be Sae's significant other. Within a few hours however, they had found out your name and your account and since then you were on the receiving side of several hate comments and a few supportive ones.
'Sae can do better.'
'They aren't all that.'
'ugh Sae, leave them and date me.'
And other such comments were plaguing the picture. You got several such DMs too that honestly made you feel a bit down and you weren't feeling your best after seeing these.
But along with these there were also a few supportive comments that asked the people to leave you both alone and show you some respect and that it was Sae's choice who he dated and if he was happy it was enough. These comments made you smile. People could be bitter as well as sweet, you concluded.
"What's wrong with the people commenting all of this bullshit? Don't they have anything better to do in life?" Sae's eyes narrowed as he scanned through the various comments and captions.
"This was bound to be the result once our relationship was made public. I'm not complaining, some people can be weird about their idols getting into a relationship," you sighed as you silenced your phone and kept it on the coffee table. This was definitely not good for your mental health as you already thought about Sae finding someone better, probably some pretty fan of his. These thoughts plagued you at night.
"Don't you dare think about me leaving you or something. Don't you let these petty jobless people make you think that you're anything less than perfect for me," Sae held your hand as he seemed to catch on your troubling thoughts. He somehow always knew what was going on with you. Somehow he could read you like an open book. His eyes told you how much he loved you and how important your presence was in his life.
"I'll try Sae. That's the only thing I can do right now. Anyways, these will die down with time. We should sleep now. It's late," you kissed his cheek as you got up from the sofa and headed towards your bedroom.
You stopped midway through, as you noticed your boyfriend was not following you. Instead, he was still on the sofa and it looked like he was deep in his thoughts.
"Aren't you coming? Let them be, as I said it'll die down--"
"I'm gonna make it public first thing in the morning," he turned around to look at you, a serious look in his eyes.
"Sae..people already know, there's no need to--"
"No no, I'm gonna confirm it in the morning. It's been long enough. I'm not doing this for the media either, I'm doing this because I cannot keep loving you in private any longer. I'm tired of always being so on guard with you when we go out," he interrupted you yet again as he closed the distance between you both, now standing in front of you with your face in his hands.
"Sae.." you started but you honestly did not know what to say.
"Are you okay with that?" He looked deep into your eyes as if he was searching for your answer in them.
"Okay," you let out a little laughter as you pecked his lips and broke away from him. "But for now, please, please come to bed."
And true to his words, the next morning you were tagged on Sae's official Instagram post which was a picture of you kissing his cheek as a small, barely there smile was plastered on Sae's face. You smiled a little at the post, not caring about the incessant buzzing of your phone.
'I love you a bit too much' read the caption.

how to transfer your old pokemon to pokemon home before it's too late!!!
the wi-fi services for the nintendo 3DS and WiiU are shutting down in early april 2024, and while it specifically lists pokemon bank and poke transporter as being available post-shutdown, there is no guarantee of how long that may be for. there will likely come a time when these services shut down, and it could be in the relatively near future.
it is also pretty much impossible now to transfer pokemon to the switch's Home service with alternative methods such as PKHeX (popular pokemon save editor for the uninformed) due to the implementation of server-side Home IDs tracking pokemon at all times - the details of that aren't super important for this post, but point is, whenever bank shuts down, unless nintendo makes an offline way to transfer to home, it will be impossible to move pokemon from the old gens to the new, even with alternative/hack-y methods.
i write this guide with the intention of making this process easier for people since transferring pokemon has changed so much over the past two decades that it's a bit of a mess, and in a timely manner to give people time to finish the process. i'll be organizing by generation so feel free to skip to any part of the guide you need. (keep in mind that transferring is permanent, your pokemon cannot go back afterwards!!)
(by the way it would mean a lot to me if you weren't overwhelmingly negative of pokemon in the tags/reblogs. i get that pokemon transferring being an online service sucks but reading that stuff in my notifications constantly is really tiring </3 make ur own post to talk about that)
to walk you through, i'll be transferring this random shiny spinda i hatched in emerald version all the way up to pokemon home. her name is Moss :]
Tumblr media
below the cut since this is long as fuck sorry LOL
GEN 1/2 -> 3 (aka RBY/GSC -> RSE/FRLG)
this is impossible! as for the Virtual Console releases of the gen 1/2 games on 3DS, more on that later in the gen 5 -> 6/7 section.
GEN 3 -> 4 (aka RSE/FRLG -> DPPT/HGSS)
what you need:
a copy of RSE or FRLG
a copy of DPPT or HGSS in the same language as the RSE/FRLG copy that has beaten the champion and has access to post-game areas, preferably HGSS because it lets you transfer unlimited times as opposed to DPPT's once-per-24-hours limit (unless you happen to have korean DPPT/HGSS, which is not language locked in terms of transferring)
either an original DS or a DS lite, the old ones with the GBA slot at the bottom
the steps:
#1. you can only transfer 6 pokemon at a time, so get whatever 6 pokemon you want to transfer up together in gen 3. if you're intending to transfer less than 6 pokemon, you'll need to catch some extras since you have to transfer the full 6 every time (i usually just catch a bunch of extra mons on the first route, which is what i've done here with the poochyenas/wurmples)
Tumblr media
#2. put the gen 3 game into the GBA slot of the DS, and the gen 4 game into the DS slot. both games should appear on the home menu after turning on the DS.
#3. load the DS game and spam A past the title screen. before loading your save, scroll down. you should see a "MIGRATE FROM (GAME NAME HERE)" option. if you don't, either the GBA game isn't reading properly, or you have not visited Pal Park in your gen 4 game of choice. in HGSS, the Pal Park is located in Fuchsia City, and in DPPT, the Pal Park is located at the end of Route 221 below Sandgem Town.
Tumblr media
#4. select the aforementioned migration option and pick the pokemon you want to transfer.
#5. navigate to the Pal Park and complete the Catching Show, where you re-catch your transferred pokemon in the wild. this does not overwrite what pokeballs they were originally caught in! you will need to bring a pokemon with Surf if you have any Pokemon that spawn in the water areas. you can check what location the pokemon you transferred will be in on bulbapedia.
Tumblr media
#6. say yes to storing the caught pokemon in your PC boxes and they'll be there!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
important things to note:
pokemon with HM moves will be blocked from transfer, so make sure to use the Move Deleter to remove HM moves from any pokemon you're transferring in gen 3 before trying to transfer. in RSE, the Move Deleter is in Lilycove City, and in FRLG they are in Fuchsia City.
gen 3 -> 4 is the only step in the transfer process where held items transfer up as well, meaning that if you attach a valuable item such as a rare candy, master ball, or TM to a transferred pokemon, you can take it off that pokemon and put it in your bag in the gen 4 game.
an aside about colosseum/XD gale of darkness on gamecube:
you can transfer pokemon from colo/XD as well! unfortunately you'll need to have beaten colo/XD, and then you will also need to beat the gen 3 game... in FRLG, you even have to complete the postgame ruby/sapphire quest on the sevii islands to unlock trading with the gamecube games. once you do all that though, you can navigate to the pokemon center basement in Phenac City to trade with your gen 3 GBA title. to do this, you'll need a gamecube or wii with gamecube compatibility, a GBA (or GBA SP), and a GCN -> GBA link cable to connect the two consoles.
GEN 4 -> 5 (aka DPPT/HGSS -> BW/BW2)
what you need:
a copy of DPPT/HGSS
a copy of BW or BW2 in the same language as DPPT/HGSS copy that has beaten the champion (or N in the original BW) and has access to post-game areas.
two DS consoles of any kind (3DS is also fine!)
the steps:
#1. get the pokemon you want to transfer together in your gen 4 game's PC boxes. you can only transfer 6 pokemon at a time. if you have less than 6, catch some extra pokemon, since you need to transfer the full 6 every time. save it and turn off the DS with the gen 4 game.
#2. turn on your gen 5 game and navigate to the Poke Transfer Lab. personally i just fly to Black City/White Forest and head west.
Tumblr media
#3. talk to the NPC in the lab to start the transfer process. you will be prompted to turn on your other DS again and open DS Download Play with your gen 4 game inserted. do that and download the Poke Transfer app that comes up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#4. select the 6 Pokemon you want to transfer when prompted.
#5. play the transfer minigame! just drag the... bow? (lol) on the bottom screen to aim your pokeballs. there's technically a time limit, but it's very generous, and your final score doesn't matter.
Tumblr media
#6. say yes to transferring the pokemon once you're done and they'll be placed in your PC boxes!
Tumblr media
important things to note:
pokemon with HM moves will be blocked from transfer, so make sure to use the Move Deleter to remove HM moves from any pokemon you're transferring in gen 4 before trying to transfer. in DPPT they're in Canalave City, and in HGSS they're in Blackthorn City.
the level the pokemon was obtained at and the date it was obtained is changed upon transfer to gen 5 - it will have the met date of your DS clock and the met level of the level it was at the time of transfer. if you'd like to preserve a pokemon's met date, make sure to change the DS clock to the proper date.
GEN 5 -> 6/7 (aka BW/BW2 -> 3DS TITLES/BANK)
what you need:
a copy of BW/BW2
a copy of any 3DS pokemon game (XY/ORAS/SUMO/USUM)
a 3DS (or 2DS, i'll just be referring to them all as 3DSes here) with the poke transporter and pokemon bank apps installed. these were free apps that were once downloadable from the 3DS eShop, but the 3DS eShop is no longer available, so if you don't already have them installed you will need to explore alternate methods, AKA hacking your 3DS and injecting them in. that's outside the scope of this guide but you can find more information here on 3ds.hacks.guide. (do not attempt to follow any 3DS hacking guide not on this website, they could be outdated and harm your 3DS!)
a nintendo network ID that your 3DS is logged into (also outside the scope of this guide but if you don't already have one, it will prompt you during the process to make one)
internet connection
the steps:
#1. poke transporter defaults to trying to transfer every pokemon located in Box 1 of your PC, so go into your gen 5 game and put every pokemon you want to transfer into Box 1, and take anything you don't want to transfer out. if you want to transfer more pokemon than you can fit in one box, you'll have to transfer multiple times.
Tumblr media
#2. open poke transporter with your gen 5 game inserted into the 3DS' cartridge slot. after pressing A through some menus and selecting the gen 5 game when prompted, it should ask if you want to transfer the pokemon in Box 1, with a preview of the pokemon inside. confirm and let it do its thing. after poke transporter is finished, the pokemon you transferred will be in the special Transport Box in bank.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#3. make sure you either have a 3DS pokemon title downloaded onto your 3DS, or swap out your gen 5 cart for one, it doesn't matter which.
#4. close out of poke transporter and navigate to pokemon bank. at the time of writing this guide, bank is still online and is free for everyone without a subscription - the main menu has an infinite "free trial" period number.
#5. select "use pokemon bank" and pick a 3DS game to connect with when prompted. it doesn't matter which one, but if you're looking to see your pokemon in a gen 6/7 game right now, pick the one you want to move it into. viewing a pokemon in a gen 6/7 game isn't required to move to home later, though!
#6. the Transport Box is located one box to the left of Box 1 - navigate to it and drag your pokemon out into a normal bank box. now you can move them to any gen 6/7 pokemon game you want, or home later!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
important things to note:
even though bank connects with both gen 6 and gen 7 games, once you place a pokemon into a gen 7 game (SUMO/USUM), you cannot transfer that pokemon back to a gen 6 game (XY/ORAS), so be careful!
an aside about the VC releases of RBY/GSC:
poke transporter can also be used to transfer pokemon out of the VC releases of RBY/GSC. these pokemon are changed pretty heavily, converting all their old gen data into pokemon's modern data structure. you can find more information about all the changes/conversions made on bulbapedia. these pokemon are considered gen 7 pokemon afterwards, and cannot be moved into XY/ORAS. pokemon with held items also cannot be transferred from VC titles and will fail to transfer.
if you want to transfer pokemon from cartridge RBY/GSC and have a save dumping device, it is possible to inject the cartridge's save file into the VC versions with Checkpoint on a hacked 3DS and then transfer that way. for GSC specifically, you'll need to edit your save slightly to make it compatible with VC GSC's save format. i personally made a converter for that here that you're free to use in-browser.
GEN 6/7 -> GEN 8+ (aka BANK -> HOME)
what you need:
a 3DS (or 2DS, i'll just be referring to them all as 3DSes here) with the pokemon bank app installed. this was a free app that was once downloadable from the 3DS eShop, but the 3DS eShop is no longer available, so if you don't already have it installed you will need to explore alternate methods, AKA hacking your 3DS and injecting it in. that's outside the scope of this guide but you can find more information here on 3ds.hacks.guide. (do not attempt to follow any 3DS hacking guide not on this website, they could be outdated and harm your 3DS!)
a nintendo network ID that your 3DS is logged into (also outside the scope of this guide but if you don't already have one, it will prompt you during the process to make one)
a switch with Pokemon Home installed, which can be downloaded for free from the switch's eShop. a nintendo switch online subscription is not required.
unfortunately, you WILL need a subscription to home's premium plan to do bank -> home transfers.
internet connection
the steps:
#1. open pokemon bank and make sure all the pokemon you want to transfer are in their own boxes, and any you don't want to transfer are not in the same boxes as the to-be-transferred pokemon.
Tumblr media
#2. go back to the bank home menu and select the "move pokemon to pokemon home" option. when you get the notice about the transfer being one-way, you'll need to scroll down to hit "Begin".
Tumblr media
#3. you will be prompted to select what boxes of pokemon you'd like to transfer, so pick all the applicable ones.
Tumblr media
#4. you will then be prompted to put in the moving key from home, so turn on your switch, open pokemon home, and select the icon that looks like a 3DS on the main menu. when prompted, choose "Ready!" to get the moving key.
#5. input the moving key on the 3DS, submit it, and wait for both apps to do their thing. once bank goes back to its title screen, you can turn off the 3DS.
Tumblr media
#6. home will go back to its title screen as well, and depending on how many pokemon you moved, you may have to wait a few minutes to get back into the app. once it's done, the next time you open home, it'll prompt you to choose how to organize your transferred pokemon into home. pick whatever you see fit.
#7. congratulations, your pokemon are safe in home!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
important things to note:
unlike all pokemon games before the switch, pokemon can actually go backwards in generation on switch, so don't worry about transferring a pokemon into scarlet/violet locking you out of moving it to sword/shield, for example. (the exception to this is LGPE - nothing can be moved into LGPE and once a pokemon is moved out of LGPE, it can't go back.)
pokemon home actually has decent hack checks, so be careful when transferring hacked/glitched/otherwise illegitimate pokemon around.
pokemon from a gen 3/4 game will have their met location set to "Poke Shifter" - this is an alternative translation of the japanese name for the Poke Transporter.
pokemon on switch can only transfer into games that contain that pokemon in its dex, so not everything transferred can go into scarlet/violet, for example.
and that's it!!
there's a lot of other quirks to the pokemon transferring process at pretty much all steps, so if you run into an unusual issue or have specific questions about how pokemon data is changed in minute ways across the franchise, i would encourage you to do your own research, all of this stuff is pretty heavily documented by the fanbase. this is just meant to be a guide for casual users, and a quick reference.
this guide of course does not cover options for transferring in alternative ways, but it's worth mentioning that if you have a hacked 3DS and the ability to back up save files at any point from gens 3 -> 5, you can use PKHeX to transfer pokemon into the 3DS titles, then move them to bank and transfer to home normally from there. that's outside the scope of this guide and i'd also encourage you to do your own research for that.
happy transferring!

# DILUC !! ♡
That morning, Diluc had been showing early symptoms of being unwell. He had a harder time getting out of bed than he normally does, and even when he did manage to lug his body downstairs, he seemed lethargic and fatigued. Of course, you brought it up to him, but like the stubborn man he often is, he denied that anything was truly wrong and insisted to you that he "just needed to work it off." You didn't buy the excuse that he was just tired and hadn't gotten a night of proper rest. Sure, that might have been one part of it, but there was something larger at play: a bigger picture that you certainly weren't blind to.
Because you know Diluc Ragnvindr like the back of your hand.
He trudges in hours early, but once again brushes off your concern for him.
"I just need to lie down for a bit," he says, hands pressing feather-light against your shoulders as he brushes his lips past your temple.
His kiss is weak and does little to reassure you that everything is okay. A "bit" turns into hours, and by the time he wakes back up, the sun is close to setting and he's feeling both useless and delirious. Any attempts he could have made to get up and work through the night to make up for the lost hours are completely halted by you as you walk into the bedroom and find him sitting upright, legs hanging off the bed.
"Diluc, you should rest for a while longer," you tell him, walking over to press the flat of your hand against his forehead.
He's not as warm as he was earlier, but you still suspect that he has a low-grade fever. Lazily, he looks up at you through glassy eyes and mumbles something about being "fine."
"You're not fine," you answer sternly, "—you're sick. Working is only going to make it worse. Right now, you only need to focus on getting better. There's no point in putting more strain on your body like this."
"It's just a cold or something, nothing to worry about," Diluc once again attempts to brush your concerns away.
You smooth your fingers along his hair.
"If that's the case, then it should only take a bit of rest for you to feel better," you retort gently. "Take the day off tomorrow and let me take care of you."
He glances about the room, spotting a full glass of water on the nightstand beside the bed. He sees an extra blanket tangled in with the rest, —one you'd pulled from a closet somewhere in the manor to offer him extra warmth while he slept. It seemed to you that he truly needed it after he began shivering in his sleep, and you were right.
Still, Diluc hesitates.
The last thing he wants is to burden others, but with you. . . Well, simply put, having a day to heal from whatever's going on with you looking after him is almost too good a deal to pass up. And he's ashamed that he's so keen on taking it, but when you look at him with those puppy-dog eyes, he knows he doesn't stand a chance. You've been taking care of him this whole time, too. . .
"I might be contagious," he notes.
"Don't care," you answer with an amused smile, "—I'd rather be with you and catch whatever it is you have than leave you here to deal with it alone."
He sighs.
"Okay," he agrees, "thank you then. I'll take the day off to rest tomorrow, —but I'm going back the next day, alright?"
"Whatever you say, just lie back down. Your eyes look glazed and you still have a bit of a fever.”
You reach out to pull the covers over his body, but he weakly reaches up to capture your wrist in his loose grip. Despite sleeping for hours, his eyelids are obviously heavy, and the moment his head hits the pillow, he’s having a hard time keeping his eyes open. Still, he presses a faint kiss to your fingers and lets out a soft breath that ghosts against your digits.
“Thank you,” he says, although his voice is so soft you almost didn’t hear him. “I love you.”
A smile cracks at your lips, and you take your hand away from his loosening grip to brush a few loose strands of hair out of his face. Even like this, flushed and unwell, he’s a stunning man (both inside and out.) You lean in to kiss his forehead, feeling the slight heat of his lowering fever against your lips.
“I love you too,” you whisper softly in reply.
Tumblr media
# XIAO !! ♡
You notice very quickly that Xiao doesn’t seem to be himself. Where you’ve always known him to be a nimble and agile individual, he seems to be weighed down by something unseen today; like he’s lugging around an extra heap of weight invisible to the both of your eyes. He’s less coordinated than he typically would be on any other occasion, and he seems a tad off balance as well.
When you bring it up lightly, he seems surprised that you’d even taken notice of it. Still, he shakes his head and insists that he’s fine; telling you he’s feeling alright. A part of you knows that’s a bit of a white lie on his part, but you don’t have the heart to call him out on it in the moment. Resigning yourself to simply watching over him for a bit, you don’t mention the way he barely picks at his fresh plate of almond tofu, and you somehow manage to keep your lips sealed when he rests his head against your shoulder for a bit, as if seeking your warmth out.
Seeing him stumble is the final straw for you though. It was like his legs simply gave out, weakening under him like the very ground had been rocked from side to side beneath his feet.
“I think you should come lie down,” you say, making sure to keep your voice low.
While you largely expected him to force his back straighter, keep his head up high, and insist that he didn’t need to do anything of the sort, —he’s surprisingly compliant. Xiao knows his body though, you suppose, and it’s hard to ignore the not-so-subtle tells that have become even more glaringly obvious as the day has gone by.
“Although I’m loath to admit it, you’re right,” he nods softly. “I can’t perform my duties like this.”
While that’s hardly the aspect you’re worried most about, if it gets him into bed, then it’ll do just fine. (For the time being, anyway.)
Xiao slinks home with you, choosing not to use anymore of his strength to move about at the speed of light. It takes longer, but it drains him a whole lot less. By the time you help him into bed, he’s hardly able to hold a coherent conversation. Your best guess is that all his recent responsibilities have begun to weigh too heavily on him, leaving him sluggish and exhausted. It would certainly make sense if that were the case.
“I apologize for. . .” Xiao pauses, either hesitating to finish the sentence or searching for the right words to say, “—for having been so feeble in front of you.”
You thread your fingers through his hair the way you know he likes, gently massaging at his scalp. He closes his eyes to feel the sensation better.
“Don’t apologize for that,” you tell him in a soft voice. “You don’t always have to be strong. When times like this come around, I’ll be here to share the weight. Promise.”
Xiao isn’t sure what to say in response, and his mind is pretty hazy from the fog covering his brain, but he lets himself melt under your touch (unabashedly so.) Whether he realizes it or not, he even leans into it, seeking it out; though you’re not sure if it’s just for the feeling, or if it’s comforting to him as well.
He hums, letting you know that he was listening. With a bit of rest, he’ll be fine. It’s definitely nothing serious. Even so, you watch over him while he sleeps, periodically checking his forehead just to make sure he hasn’t spiked a fever. That time never comes, thankfully. But when he’s lying there so peacefully, it’s easy to get lost in the way his lips part ever so slightly, —in the way he makes soft, cute little noises in his sleep. It’s easy to forget that this adorable, slumbering man in your bed is less of a man in his day-to-day life and more of a well-oiled machine that slits through monsters with ease and precision.
To you though, he’s just Xiao, —and sometimes, that’s all he really wants to be anyway.
Tumblr media
# AYATO !! ♡
Though Ayato does his best not to let it show, you quickly realize that he’s a bit out of it today. Even so much as sitting behind his desk filling out commonplace paperwork that he sees and signs on the regular seems to be a daunting task for him, leaving him rubbing at his eyes until the skin around them has gone red. The tea you bring him around lunchtime goes completely untouched, which is a surefire sign that something isn’t right with him.
It was his favorite flavor, and yet he didn’t take a single sip. That alone told you everything you needed to know, —but if that wasn’t enough, Ayato also found himself dozing off at his desk. Such a thing is staggering coming from the likes of him, and the moment you enter his office to check on him and find him in such an uncomfortable looking position, you’re shaking his shoulder to wake him up.
“Ayato,” you say softly, waiting for his eyelids to peel back and reveal the glimmer of his irises.
When they do, his eyes are glazed over and perhaps a bit unfocused. Even for having just woken up, it was unusual, and you press the flat of your hand against his forehead to check his temperature.
“You’re a bit warm, but I’m not sure if it’s a fever,” you state. “Still, you should come rest in your room instead of sleeping in here. A pillow will be a lot more comfortable than your desk.”
He does his best to sit upright, but there’s a weakened slump to his posture that you suppose is only natural for his less than tip-top shape.
“I shouldn’t,” he shakes his head. “I appreciate your concern for me, my love, but there’s much that needs to be done today.”
He gestures to his desk, the one he’d been napping on fitfully just moments ago, where disorganized stacks of papers line the front edge. It’s always like this. You know how hard Ayato works, and you’re constantly in awe of his stamina for it, —but now definitely isn’t the time for him to be pushing his own limits, and that much is evident.
“I’m sure someone else could take care of these, no?” You question, cupping his cheek with your hand. “You’re flushed, and you didn’t touch your tea from earlier.”
His gaze falls on the undrunken milk tea and his expression drops into one of guilt.
“I’m sorry,” he apologizes, “I must have forgotten and then dozed off. . .”
You shake your head, speaking up again to clarify your point.
“I don’t care so much about the drink itself, —it’s just not like you to not drink it,” you explain.
Ayato sighs: “I am feeling a little under the weather.”
His admission comes as no shock to you, but now that that’s out of the way, you simply hope he’ll lower his pride a bit and push his duties to the wayside for now. It’s best he not complete them in this state anyway, both for the integrity of the work itself, and for his own well being.
“You should come rest,” you suggest again.
It’s clear that he’s hesitant, but in the end, his ailing body wins out. Ayato is painfully tired, and all he really wants to do is sleep, and you were completely right when you mentioned that his bed would be worlds more comfortable than resting at his desk. From there, he’s compliant. You find someone else to take care of the paperwork, then return to Ayato’s side. He’s half-asleep by the time you slip in through the sliding entrance.
“Can I get you anything?” You ask, keeping your voice soft.
You take his relative temperature with your hand again, just to be sure.
“I’m alright,” he says, a small smile gracing his elegant features. “Thank you for looking after me.”
Brushing a few loose strands of hair out of his handsome face, you lean down to press a soft kiss to his forehead.
“Rest up, I’ll come check on you again in a bit.”

bangchan
there's not a lot helping this man honestly
he spends days racking his brain for a good way to tell you that he is completely and utterly in love with you
should he make a grand gesture?
should he be smooth and nonchalant with it?
he's a libra so his indecisiveness is sort of a given lmao same bro
he even consults stays on his weekly channie's room live, only to be spammed with various ultra cheesy pick-up lines
if you were a transformer, you'd be Optimus fine
he ends up trying to do it on a whim
which is unlike him. he tends to plan everything to a T
but he feels that with feelings like love, there's not much to plan. he forces himself to be impulsive
and it works!
he makes it a casual affair: just two friends hanging out in a familiar setting (chan needed the familiarity to calm his nerves a bit)
and he just came out with it
"listen, i know we've been friends for a while. but i can't help the romantic feelings i now have."
he'd give a little shy smile, his eyes trying to look into yours but he can't hold your gaze for long enough.
"so, i was thinking maybe we could... go out? i'd think we'd be really good together."
lee know
my gosh
it takes so freaking long for minho to confess to you it's actually frustrating
infuriating, even
you guys are practically dating anyway with the way you flirt and feel comfortable with each other
people see you guys together in public and assume that you're already dating
so YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE
but nothing was confirmed
no words solidified a definite bond
so things felt a bit uncertain, even with the definite mutual liking between you both
minho takes his sweet time that's for sure
he just wants to be certain that you like him the way he does too. sometimes he has a hard time differentiating between people who are being friendly compared with people who are actively taking a romantic interest
he wants to make sure his feelings are being reciprocated in a genuine way
it's hard to read people sometimes
once he's certain that you like him the way he does, he will just come out and say it
"hey, you wanna go out with me?"
he would say it with a little, shy side grin. i mean how can you say no to that??
changbin
changbin is not-so-subtle about his feelings for you
it's written all over his face from as soon as you walk in the room
he's wrapped around your finger
and he's confident in himself too
so there's nothing really stopping him from just going up and asking you out
but he needs to know where your heads at before he makes THE move
considering he hangs out with you a whole lot anyway, this comes quite easily to him
"are you interested in someone at the moment?"
he'd ask. and you'd answer, "yes actually." and his plan goes downhill from there.
does that mean you're interested in someone else or... or maybe it means you're interested in him??
"oh? who's that then?" he'd ask, a jealous tone not well-hidden
"oh i can't say," you'd shake your head playfully.
he's suddenly quiet when he figures out what you're trying to insinuate. he'd thought this'll be easier.
you'd give him some help at this point
"but he's got an outgoing personality. big muscles. and a handsome face, too." you'd smile at him knowingly, hoping he'd take the hint.
he almost laughs at himself for not realising before. that's all the reassurance he needs.
"well, from what i hear, he likes you too. a lot."
hyunjin
oh, my precious hyunne
this man would only ever fall for someone who is really close to him
i'm talking best friends, joint at the hip, couldn't live without the type of closeness you share
you're his no. 1
and you know it
spending a lot of time with hyunjin on a regular basis and you know that, just by the way you catch him looking at you, there is something much more than friendship taking place
one time you were sitting on the living room floor with him, laughing your heads off
it was late and night and obviously, the perfect time for hyunjin to do your makeup
because why the heck not
he's making you look like a clown. why did he choose that shade of eyeshadow? and why is lipstick on your cheeks
"you look so much better like this" hyunjin teased in between hysterical laughs
"shut uppp hwang hyunjin!" you tried to push him away and prevent him from doing any more. "just you wait until i do your makeup."
after the laughter settled down he looked at you with a loving gaze. that was when you both realised how close you were together. there was such an immense fondness in his eyes that told you everything you need to know
and soon, his lips were connected to yours
his confession.
han
being close to han is your gateway to his mind
it's hard to imagine that someone like han, who can be quite hesitant and awkward with getting too close to people despite being loud and usually the first one to break the ice
that he could be so naturally himself with you
even as a friend, he's quite touchy. usually reaching out to hold your hand or pulling you in for a cuddle on the sofa
that's how you know that he likes you before he even confesses
he's not like this with anyone
it'd be when you are cuddling up together, pizza all eaten and anime playing on the tv
this was perfect.
han would let out a big, content sigh and nuzzle into you
the absent-minded phrase of "i love you" would slip out in this peaceful moment
and suddenly you both forget how to breathe. you raised your head off his shoulder.
"huh?"
"huh?"
...
the silence was unbearable
"i mean uh... i love this anime. yeah. it's my favourite. i've actually watched the whole thing so i don't know why i'm watching it again. anyways *fake yawns* it's getting late, i might go to bed."
you just chuckled at him, feeling so relieved of his feelings for you.
very smooth, han. very smooth.
felix
i'm so on the fence about him
like i can totally see him being hella romantic and thinking the whole thing through
he'll end up buying you flowers and a box of chocolates, you know, the cliche things that a cute af
and he will knock on your door and present you with these things with a beaming smile and some sweet words to serenade you off to the land of romance
OR
he will confess to you all at once
no warning, no coherent reasoning, no thought behind those eyes
just felix's enfp brain going absolutely haywire, we love to see it
i usually go with the latter for him. because, while he is super duper romantic and wants his feelings to come out in a perfectly curated way, the likelihood is that his intense feelings for you will get the better of him
he can't hold himself back before he even thinks about it
"you're so gorgeous"
he'd say as he looked at you from across the kitchen. the both of you had just finished making brownies together and felix couldn't help but find you the most attractive you have ever been right now
"oh?" you'd say, taken aback by his forwardness
felix's heart dropped for a second. but that feeling was momentary. he soon felt light and happy, and a smile breezed over his face
"yeah" he'd reply, warmly, "so gorgeous, i might even give you a little kiss"
seungmin
seungmin is so precious CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT
he is just so ;-;
anyways he thinks long and hard about confessing to you
which, in other words, means he puts off confessing to you for like so many stupid-ass reasons
what's putting you off seungmin? the candles? the moonlight? the fact that your venus isn't in retrograde???
like JUST DO IT
he builds up to it though, bless him
it's just in his nature. he wants to pace himself STREAM MY PACE BTW
he might warm up to it. perhaps becoming more bolder with his compliments for you
"that colour really suits you"
"you should style your hair like that more often"
"i find it so easy to talk to you, which is a rare feeling for me, honestly"
and soon he's buying you cute little gifts
"i saw this and thought of you"
i mean that's code for 'i love you' anyways but whatever
he finally gives you a very personal gift for you, with a note attached to it: "to the person i love most. you deserve it"
why you gotta make us cry like that seungmin, gosh??
jeongin
jeongin found it harder talking to you in person
he can be a shy bean at times
an absolute cutie-pie
but he didn't want you to just know him for his shyer side. he didn't want his social hesitance to push you away from getting to know the real him
luckily, you had each other's numbers
and the texting was constant
staying up all night just talking to each other. you both got zero sleep but the rush, the joy, the familiarity of these texts were more tempting than any type of sleep was
you got to see his witty, intelligent personality. his sense of humour. you got used to the way he teased you, and boy did you like it
these interactions made it ten times easier to talk to each other in person
but one night, jeongin confessed to you
"i fucking love you btw"
he wasn't drunk. he supposed he was sort of... caught up in the moment. it came out of nowhere.
waiting for your response was torture
he waited, and waited
and waited some more
nothing.
until the next time you met face to face. he was dreading this interaction until you grabbed him swiftly. your lips connected in passionate bliss until you both pulled away
"i fucking love you too"

Ask game: the book answers. CLOSED
Tumblr media
DISCLAIMER: this is EXPERIMENTAL! This is the first time that I am doing this. I am not going to guarantee you that the reading will be 100% accurate. Most of the time relying only through my intuition.
!!READINGS ARE BASED ON THE LAW OF ASSUMPTION BELIEFS!!
I will use “daily oracle” by Jerico Mandybur and use my intuition. I need to practice this book because I literally forgot its existence and want to familiarise with it. Sometimes I may not catch 100% the meaning of the phrase, but I will try my best to explain what I think it means for your reading.
The feedback this time is not needed.
1- Like and reblog the post.
2- Tell me why you like my readings or desire a reading from me.
3- No anonymous allowed. Everything is done through the ask box.
4- You can ask me two questions but it has to be between yes or no. You can ask if the question is not a yes or no but I don’t guarantee you anything.
5- Please give me a name! It can be totally a fake name, don't worry. Example you can call yourself Rose, Tulipan, Camilla, etc. The initials of your name DO NOT count in this reading. The small book wants a name🌚
6- No love readings in general please. Especially third party questions, means no involvement of other people in any kind of situations.
7- I have the right to choose which energy I feel comfortable with. If I sense your anxious state strongly, I won’t read for you. Sometimes this type of energy can affect me a bit, and I am not comfortable about it.
8- You can submit your new questions again after A WEEK (7 days) from your completed reading. (I am counting them by the way, so I know if you respected the rules or not)
➻ For the people I never answered, please resubmit the answers again after some days and avoid spamming (which I hate the most). If not answered a second time, the book probably doesn’t want to answer you or your questions. Be reasonable with the second resubmit timing, for example waiting 2 or 3 days after your first submission.
➻ Questions can be answered “as usual” without the mention of the law of assumption, depends how the book wish to answer. Yes, if you want a “normal answer” play a 50/50 with the book. Most of the time will be the law of assumption answers.
⭐️ Example of questions that you can ask:
☆ If I were to meet Neville Goddard, what would he say to me?
☆ What are my mental blockages that are stopping me from getting my desires?
☆ Why 3d reality still didn’t catch my 4d reality?
☆ Daily reminder that I need to know.
☆ Did I impress my subconscious mind with my desired assumptions?
☆ Do I have limiting beliefs that are stopping me from manifesting xyz desire?
☆ Why xyz technique doesn’t work for me?
☆ Did I fully understand the law of assumption?
☆ Reminder that I need for X month or year.
STATUS: CLOSED
⭐️ Navigate through my masterlist to explore my blog and my rules♥️

Tumblr media
this as a prime example of what is wrong with simblr (and tumblr in general). this ask was sent to me within like less than a day of that post about cf going up, while I was away for the weekend and not at pc for days. I did not even see the post until right before I got this ask. yall are so damn terminally online that you lost the gd plot and cannot comprehend someone not keeping their finger on the dying pulse of the performative activism headquarters of the internet. and you definitely can't comprehend waiting for complete info or maybe just a full day before starting some reactionary bs. just peeking in here since yesterday i see that simblr is yet again so hyped up on smelling its own farts that it's turned an issue of genocide into yet another dick measuring contest of who can reblog more posts than one another the fastest so they can look more empathetic and better than anyone else. and call themselves "real activists" for being able to click the reblog button. not to mention the usual spamming anons to random people minding their own business. yall are weird as fuck and need to get a firm grip on some grass. stop making the horrific suffering of others about yourselves for once.
that being said, let me get serious for the people on here that are actually normal. for those that don't know by now, this anon seems to be referencing this post about cf, which talks about overwolf (the company that owns curseforge) donating to the IDF. But I also found this tweet by OOP made after that post that explains they have since received DMs from Overwolf stating that they have shifted their relief efforts to aiding victims that have lost their homes from the Hamas terrorist attacks exclusively and do not fund the IDF. this is a much better cause as the victims of terrorism definitely deserve to be helped, and it makes sense they would do this as an Israeli company. The DMs also clarify that it is donation based and nothing uploaded to cf (cc/mods) contributes to this effort whatsoever. As well as Overwolf/Curseforge revenue in general. So simply using curseforge does not mean that you fund or endorse genocide. OOP calls their new efforts commendable in that tweet but I am still looking into and keeping an eye on this matter since, as we know, more information could come out later that contradicts this. And since I have been away im still catching up on everything that has been posted relating to cf.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are the pics for those that may not have Twitter. do I still support a boycott for those that want to? oh, absolutely. I know that many will still want to boycott regardless, and I'll be working to add alt links to my cc uploads as soon as possible (the ones that don't already have them) for those that don't want to use it. However, everyone I've seen wanting to boycott seems to want to do it because a) they believe overwolf is funding the IDF (apparently is not true) b) they believe having their uploads on cf or downloading from there will fund the IDF (apparently is not true) or c) overwolf itself is an Israeli company (is definitely true). therefore based on the new info we now have some may decide not to boycott after all or will still do so, it is a personal decision. will I be deleting my account there? for now, no.
to be completely honest, I'm in a really bad place financially right now, and while it isn't much, the little bit I get from cf downloads has been exclusively going towards my meds and dr appointment bills. I don't have the option right now to turn down the small amount of added income when I am currently living day to day, especially with the updated knowledge that simply having cc uploaded there does not contribute to their donation efforts in any way. I do not paywall my cc and never will and I do not ask for donations myself, so my options are somewhat limited. although I do not make cc with the aim of getting paid, I ultimately wouldn't be able to justify the sheer amount of time I spend on it if it wasn't helping me with my medical bills currently, as I am already caregiving with the majority of my time. I'm not reliant on cc making or cf to live, and I never want that to be the case god forbid, but in full transparency it is helping me with my healthcare expenses atm and I cannot afford to neglect my health anymore than I have. especially since, as established earlier, using cf does not contribute to the IDF in the first place. so I personally do not judge anyone that continues to use cf for this reason.
also, for the record so there is no confusion on my personal views, I fully support the freedom of Palestine and condemn genocide first and foremost, as well as terrorism and antisemitism. The current situation in Gaza is abhorrent and I encourage all my followers to not only reblog posts, but educate yourselves on the situation and bring it irl as you are able. Speak with the people you love as well as those you are acquainted with and bring this to this to their attention (if you feel safe to). Attend protests if you can. If you cannot, make the calls and emails to your representatives, sign petitions, and donate as you are able. I have been seeing that even spreading Palestinian culture among your loved ones and peers is helpful. So even if you are in a bad place mentally, that may be an option to spread the positive message of the Palestinian people in your everyday life. I'll be reblogging the posts I already did earlier and some new ones too so you can find those updated links. I will be tagging it with palestine so that it can be found easily on my page.
In addition, be kind. To others and yourself. Try to see the full damn picture instead of a snapshot. What someone posts on tumblr of all places does not reflect an entire person's being, or their efforts, or their heart. Yelling your head off on this dying website does not equal activism, and running your mental health into the ground taking on the weight of the world doesn't give you any more control over the issues we face- I learned that the hard fucking way, believe me. By all means share as much as you like, every bit helps (especially if you have a lot of followers), but keep in mind that it certainly doesn't make you better than anyone else. I know it's extremely difficult to feel helpless and you want to feel like you're doing something, but just make sure you're doing the right things for the right reasons. Please do not fucking attack random people for not responding within one business day of the latest info coming out. And take time away from all this shit to breathe. You can't help anyone if you're fucked up yourself. especially for those of us that already face discrimination and bigotry every day irl, I know it is exhausting. Remember to also care for yourselves through all this.

Where are the image descriptions on this site?!
How is it that Mastodon (aka the fediverse) has tumblr beat for having image descriptions? I almost NEVER see images without a description there. But here? It's an epidemic. Listen, they don't need to be long or fancy, just say what the image is! Think of it this way, if the image is a part of a joke did you say enough so people could get it? Would your post make any sense without the image included? What text would you add so that it could still make sense? (It's true that descriptions can sometimes occur in context, or using text that isn't in that particular box. But, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the sheer volume of posts that are mostly images and not a one has a word to describe them. Those posts are just useless spam to many people. ) I always thought refusing to reblog undescribed images was a little extreme. But I totally get it now. From here out? If I don't have the time to add an image description myself? I'm not going to reblog it. I'm not the only person like this. I know many people who simply won't reblog anything with undescribed images. I'm fed up! ( It will take some time for my queue to catch up. I'm slowly adding descriptions in there too. In fact, it was going through my queue and seeing how many descriptions I'd need to add that set me off. Why do I have to fix everything? Were it just one or two missing, that's fine, but it's most of them. If everyone just described their images in the first place when they posted it would be taken care of ... When you get in the habit of doing it you don't really notice the 30 seconds it takes. I didn't always know to do this, and maybe you didn't either but you can start today!)
But I post mostly art, why do I need descriptions?
Image descriptions aren't just helpful to people who are totally blind. ( And as @the-smol-machine pointed out in the comments totally blind people enjoy art. ) Descriptions help everyone who uses screen readers including many people with sight. There are different degrees (and kinds) of blindness and since many blind people enjoy art, if you describe your art this helps. Don't you want more people to enjoy your art? For example, my niece loves art, but to look at it she needs to make it much bigger and spend some time taking it in bit by bit. She only bothers if she knows what it might be and a description helps her put the image together in her mind. Descriptions also help with other disabilities that don't have anything to do with sight, but rather how people process information. Heck, I generally enjoy reading them myself just to know that I got everything the poster wanted from the image. (I'm not an expert on this topic at all. Suggestions badly wanted, but I am frustrated and annoyed that "describe the images" isn't more of a normal tumblr thing. )

Week in Review | Nov. 5
It’s kind of hard to believe Halloween was this past week, right? If you celebrated, I hope you had fun. I had a very enthusiastic little helper with me to help pass out candy. It routinely cracks me up how two introverts made an extrovert, but here we are. 
This week, Mr. Rhoorl and I bid adieu to our beloved TLOU Halloween Horror Nights house. It was such a fun event and I loved seeing Joel 😉. We don’t get out much just the two of us, so those were special nights for sure. Now we transition to seeing all of the fun holiday celebrations at the various theme parks around us. 
I didn’t read as much as I wanted to this week, my TBR list is growing more and more unmanageable by the day 😆 But alas, here's the week in review starting out with what I read.
Tumblr media
Fics I read this week:
Frankie Morales
The Pilot and His Girl by @avastrasposts - I finally caught up on the last chapter and it was literally everything I wanted! I’ve been following along with this story for months and have felt every emotion throughout the journey. I just love this story so so much and Mel did a fantastic job weaving the TF world into TLOU.
Javier Peña
the angel + the devil by @undercoverpena - This is a fun little Halloween extra in the Late Night Text series I loved so much. This couple is just the cutest and Javi is still a menace!
Unworthy by @morallyinept - Jett’s giflets are so good (there’s a Marcus Moreno one I have my eyes on to read this week)! I’m continually in awe at what emotions she can elicit in less than 500 words. I went through a bit of a rollercoaster reading this one (in the best way!)
Marcus Pike
Headshots by @secretelephanttattoo - The fourth installment in this series was seriously everything I wanted.  Marcus fics are like a warm hug and El writes him so well! 
Joel Miller
Strings by @trulybetty - The way I devoured this series in a day! This was such a beautiful story of two people who found comfort in one another. Apologies for the spam reblogs that day Betty, but I couldn’t get enough!
Dieter Bravo
Broadcasting Live Tonight by @morallyinept - I still haven’t fully recovered from Pedro’s surprise appearance on SNL and stuff like this doesn’t help 😆 This one-shot follows Dieter as he hosts SNL.
Props To
A big congratulations to @trulybetty on her Autumnal Offerings series. It was so fun to follow along all month with the various prompts. Although I am biased with Sequins!Joel, I loved the little glimpses of Marcus, Frankie, Dieter, Tim, and others throughout the month. 
Current Compulsory Series:
These are the series I am keeping up with at the moment. Delta Palms Tropical Resort (Frankie) by @linzels-blog 
I Like the Way You (Frankie) by @undercoverpena
Destiny & Deliverance (Dieter) by @mysterious-moonstruck-musings
Paranoid Heat (Javi P) by @goodwithcheese
It’s Never Too Late (Javi P) by @javierpena-inatacvest Madeline! I’m so behind but I want to catch up on this soon!
Posts from the week:
The Catfish Pond PhD Program is still going strong. If you missed it, here’s Module 7 from Professor @legendary-pink-dot.
As much as I love the fanfic part of this site, I equally love the fan art side! @perennialdoll247 captured Javi so beautifully here!
Feral corner:
Want some Javi P thots? Read this post from @beabliss (and subsequent reblogs) about things he’d say to you.
I didn’t do a great job of keeping track of the feralness from the week. I am in the midst of working on a 2024 Pedro calendar for my desk, so I’ve been saving a lot of photos 😂
Things I watched:
I got it in under the wire, but I did watch Hocus Pocus. We had it on while the trick-or-treaters were going around. I really love that movie. On the TV front, my trash TV shows are in full swing so I’ve been enjoying those when I can.
Today I am finally going to the movies after several weeks away. I’m going to go see The Marsh King’s Daughter. Why? Because Garrett Hedlund is in it. I have no shame. Speaking of Garrett, he released a single this week for the Desperation Road movie he was in. 
Personal Stuff
Putting this here as part of accountability to myself - week two of my health journey is in the books! Things have been going well on that front because I can actually see progress. The holidays are a bit tricky, but I'm hoping to have some solid routines and habits down by then.
Fic updates:
Apparently, it was smut week for me. I posted a Benny Miller one-shot, Are You on Mute? and then Chapter 16 of Working Title. Thank you to everyone who’s been sticking with me on that one, I think to say it was a slow burn is an understatement when it takes 16 damn chapters lol 🫢 But, hopefully, it was worth it.
Delta Landscaping Chapter 9 is coming along and should be posted this week (maybe tomorrow if I can get my act together). I did take some time this week to get myself organized, so hopefully, that will help me with subsequent updates. Doing two fics at the same time is a bit more than I bargained for!
Thank you as always for reading and interacting. I hope you find a reason to smile this week 🙂

there was now only five minutes until you were to step on stage and perform. you were so excited, yet terrified and nervous something would go wrong. your palms and your forehead sweaty already for pacing the waiting room for 10 minutes.
minho, hyunjin, and felix were in the room with you. they all seemed anxious as well but definitely not as much as you were right now.
chan, jisung and jenni were with you as well. no one had noticed your excessive pacing until now. jenni spotted you from her seat across the room and decided to go over.
“hey, you good? do you need some water?” she gently placed a hand on your back to make you stand still.
“y-yeah, water would be nice, thanks.” you answer, staring at the floor.
“alright i’ll get you some, just hold on a sec okay?”
“chan! would you come here a sec? emergency like right now.” jenni yelled, catching everyone’s attention now.
“yeah, no problem…” his eyes met her line of vision going straight to you and he quickly walked over to where you were standing.
“y/nnie? hey, what’s wrong bubs?” he grabbed onto your hands, rubbing circles on your palms like he always did when you were stressed.
you couldn’t look at him. you couldn’t even move. you were frozen. your knees locked, feet planted on the floor. your hands were shaking a bit as well. you were… scared? no that can’t be it.
“y/n, look at me, okay? you’re gonna be okay.” his voice soft and calming
you finally turn to face him, tears starting to swell in your eyes.
“hey, hey what’s wrong?” he asks
“i- i don’t know, um…” you trail off, unsure what to say, how to explain.
“shh, it’s okay, you’re okay.”
“is it just nerves? or-“
“yeah, i… i think. yeah.”
“i don’t know why though, like i was so excited for tonight- i am excited but like i can’t fucking move. i just don’t want to fuck it up. i don’t want to ruin it. we worked so hard the past few weeks to set this up and if i-“
“you’re gonna do amazing, y/n. you always do. remember how we planned ahead just in case something does go wrong? you’re a great dancer and we believe in you. you got this.” hyunjin steps in
“he’s right. you’ve got this! and we’ll all be here backing you up.” felix adds
“that’s right.” chan says
“here’s your water,” jenni hands it to you and motions for chan to move out of the way, which he does. she grabs ahold of your shoulders, giving them a light squeeze as you sip your water. “you’ve got this,” she smiles
“now let’s get out there and show them what we’ve got.” minho says
Tumblr media
your nerves seemed to brush over as the four of you stepped onto the stage. it was dark with the lights being dimmed, but you could tell there were so many people. they were all there to watch you guys perform. it was amazing.
everything went well in the end. the crowd was roaring and you caught a glimpse of seungmin taking pictures from the front row.
Tumblr media
the pictures came out beautifully and you couldn’t be more happy with how everything turned out. there were no mistakes in the choreo and everyone seemed to love the performance. the night was going great.
after the curtains closed, you and the boys went back to the green room where the rest of you friends were waiting for you with gifts. flowers, candy, stuffed animals. they wanted to congratulate you.
“you guys did so well oh my god!” sage screamed as soon as you stepped through the door.
“thank you, couldn’t have done it without your guys’ help and support tonight.”
everyone ended up engulfed into a sweaty group hug.
“hey, y/n. can i talk to you in the hall for a second?” chan asked, his hands behind his back
“i- yeah, of course.” you smiled
everyone else in the room shared a look of confusion, but they were all as equally intrigued. as well as nosey.
chan cleared his throat before speaking, “so…”
“so…” you repeated
“um, what i brought you out here to say was that you did really amazing out there and you looked amazing and… let me shut up.” he laughed at the end, embarrassed by his rambling.
“anyways, these are for you.” he smiled hard, showing off the dimples in his chin
he brought his arms from behind his back in front of you and revealed a bouquet of your favorite flowers. one of many things he knew well about you.
“well, thank you channie. i really appreciate that. and the flowers are beautiful, thank you.” you carefully take them out of his hands.
“of course, i’m glad everything went well. and again, you looked gorgeous tonight, y/n.”
you could feel your face start to flush, heat rising to your cheeks as he complimented you.
“channie…. stop it!” you playfully hit him in his chest, embarrassed now that your best friend, your crush thought you looked pretty.
“what? i’m being serious! can i not tell my bestie how pretty she looks? aren’t i supposed to do that? actually, i think it’s somewhere in the bestie rules, you know.” he raised an eyebrow, still showing off his dimples as he playfully smiled at you.
he always knew how to pull at your heart strings. always knowing the right words to say like before. and like now, how he’s making you blush and kick your feet at him. he’s so… insufferable.
“i hate you.” you huff
“no, no you don’t. and that’s why you put up with me.” he replied in a sing-song tone
“but let’s get back in there before they all start getting suspicious or something.” he laughs, tugging at your sleeve to pull you back into the room.
walking back into the room, all eyes were on you and chan. your friends all giving you a spill the tea kind of look so chan decides to break the silence.
“what? i wanted to congratulate y/n.”
“her but not us?!” hyunjin and minho both dramatically gasp
“shut up.” chan rolled his eyes, yet silently laughed
“we should grab something to eat to celebrate!” changbin interrupts.
“good idea, let’s go.” sage says, grabbing one of your arms and walking out of the room. jenni and felix quickly following suit.
“bitch, spill right now.” jenni says once you’re all out of earshot of the other boys.
“so…”

The state of my inbox, requests, the queue and four-way poll updates
Please quit spamming my inbox. If you would like to add to the discourse regarding anything on the blog. For instance the one piece art style debate or why does Gojo keep losing? Please comment or reblog don't spam my inbox because at the moment there's so much junk in it relating to the discourse that I struggle to find the request for the polls I'm supposed to make. So while I sort through all the junk. I'm not making the polls so that's just going to delay the request opening back up even longer.
Right now I'm kind of debating on whether or not I need to just shut off ask completely because some people are abusing the privilege. Because at the moment there is more stuff in my inbox than when I originally closed the request. Plus most of it isn't even poll request anymore. It's random questions about are certain cartoons going to be allowed and crap about the one piece and Gojo debates
Again, I do this blog for fun. I run this blog by myself and I have a job and a life outside of it. And I want to get through this batch of requests Because I know next time I open up the request box there will be a lot more variety since I have almost triple the follower count. And that means less one piece for all the people that complain because the queue is about 80% one piece and their requests are about 50% one piece. However, I'm not adding new one piece polls to the queue at the moment so that ratio might change
So the person who suggested character cooldowns that just isn't feasible because I got one piece polls that have been in the queue since January. Because I just hit shuffle on the queue a couple times to make sure there isn't going to be too many one piece polls everyday before the polls start posting. Because depending on how many polls post each day you're going to get at least 2 to 4 one piece poll everyday at least for the foreseeable future I am trying to add more variety But with the state of the queue and the request box this is what we're getting until I can open it up again.
On to the topic of four-way polls, I know I've got a bunch of questions about them
For future reference, when it comes to four-way polls, it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission because I don't think this person even bothered to ask. They just sent in the request and I already had all the photos so I was more willing to say yes. But if it's ridiculous and I have to hunt down four photos specifically for one poll because it's super niche characters, I'm probably going to say no. But if I already have all the photos saved because I've done polls for the characters before I'm more likely to say yes. Or maybe you send in the photos. But finding the photos is the hardest part of making the polls. So far there's only been four four-way polls requested so far. Still not done. Going through the request box there could be more.
So if you want to try to get me to do five and six way polls by just sending it in and hoping for the best. Maybe you'll catch me in a good mood but I might say no. As long as everyone understands that anything more than three, no guarantee it will be made you are welcome to try
I hope this made sense. It kind of was a bit of a rant But hopefully this clarifies a lot of the questions and issues that have been brought up the past couple of days

Make Your Life Easier
and take some time this weekend and follow these steps to make sure you don’t need to do more work than needed with the IFTTT tool :>
Summary: Post teaches you 1. How to automatically make a video embed post on tumblr everytime you go live on twitch, and 2. How to keep your discord community updated on your tumblr activities so that they’re not missing out!
FIRST
if you’ve never used IFTTT before, here’s a quick refresher!
IFTTT stands for If This, Then That. Basically, it’s a no-code way of telling platforms what to do and how to do it so that tasks are accomplished without you ever having to think about it.
There are two sections to this:
Tumblr media
Naturally, If This runs first. Then That runs next.
Both of these sections can be any platform action that IFTTT supports. In our case, we want Twitch, Tumblr, and Discord to be supported. Thankfully, it does!
Tumblr media
Ingredients are a core aspect of IFTTT and they represent the various elements of the specified platform. If you click “Add Ingredient” you can see the range of options to choose from and customize. In regards to Twitch, this would be things like when the stream started, what game’s being played, the channel name, etc. All these things are considered Ingredients which are used in your “recipe” to create the final result.
Let’s put this into practice and start with our first example:
Twitch to Tumblr
Here’s the command I’ve created:
Tumblr media
I’ve set this up so that everytime I go live on twitch, I want it to make a Go Live post on tumblr without me ever having to log into tumblr and make a post mid-stream.
I’ve also set mine to wait 1hr30 before posting because I like to chat with my viewers for a bit, y’know catch up with them etc. before jumping straight into the game but that’s just me.
The twitch section is self-explanatory. You just connect your twitch account if you haven’t already. There are other scenarios here so feel free to experiment!
.
As for the tumblr section..
Tumblr media
As you can see, HTML is accepted in the caption section so if you wanna jazz it up even more, feel free! For me, I didn’t like that ChannelUrl would post an ifttt link so I forced it to include a direct link to my twitch channel instead.
That’s about it for that applet. Just make sure the little slider shows as Connected and you’re good to go!
Tumblr media
NEXT..
Tumblr to Discord
Method 1
Tumblr media
The link: https://help.tumblr.com/hc/en-us/articles/4421081082775-Discord-Webhooks
Method 2
Tumblr media
So what I’ve done here is a basic command where I’ve specified it to only post in a specific discord channel when I textpost on tumblr with a specific tag in order to avoid spamming it with countless reblogs. Basically have it act as a second twitter so my community can keep up with the essentials!
This is how I’ve set up the tumblr section, note the specific tag included:
Tumblr media
And then here’s how I set up the discord section. I will say it was tempting to include other things like PostTitle and PostTags so do note those options and more are available to you (by clicking Add Ingredient), but for my purposes I felt less was more in this circumstance:
Tumblr media
This is what my #tumblr discord channel looks like:
Tumblr media
And you’re done! Just like the previous applet, make sure the little slider shows as Connected and you’re good to go!

You can call me Chai, or Tea.
Chaotic switch. Gender is a buffet and I'm eating the forks.
My expression is fluid, so I fit under lots of different labels (but never man, thank you) and attractions. Sapphic folk, I adore you, please come in. Lovers of genderfuckery, look disrespectfully. Straight people...sorry but you're a bit gay now.
Asks and DMs welcome, but my replies are super intermittent! My brain just does what it wants and I'm along for the ride. Spam likes and reblogs are welcome, including reblogging my pics. I queue posts a lot so you'll probably see them all day long!
I add a Mature label as often as I can to my posts, so if you don't have them set to visible, you'll probably miss them!
#Tea shows off - my pics
#Tea dreams - my text posts, nsft and otherwise
#Tea answers - asks, answered!
#Mine - Catch-all
This is an 18+ blog, MDNI. Terfs, swerfs and right-wingers fuck off
I block freely, so if your blog is mostly stolen porn, ED/Ana, feeder, chaser, or sissy content then you're gonna get turfed pretty quickly

I'm officially back from my little tumblr holiday. A very happy start of 2024 to all of my mutuals and followers. I hope the new year is treating you well. 💜
Also, thank you so much to everyone tagging me in their edits, tag games and end-of-the-year posts over the holidays. Please give me a few days to catch up (and with older tags too because the past few months were really busy 🙏).
There's no official tumblr wrapped this year but I think in the past year I probably made 400+ gifsets and edits which... negl is a bit intense. I love making gifs but I definitely want to be more relaxed and deliberate about it in 2024 because (and I think every gifmaker can agree with this) sometimes it can become a bit of a chore and take away from other enjoyable fandom things.
I've also (re?)discovered that I really like writing meta and commentary so hopefully I can find the time for more of that this year. 🤞
Anyway, to everyone liking and reblogging and replying to my posts, to everyone sending asks and tagging me, to everyone in the tumblr BL fandom with their many amazing gifsets and edits and fanart and meta and commentary and live reactions and memes and tag spams:
Thank you! You've really made tumblr such a fun and relaxing place to be for me this past year. I don't think I've ever been this involved in fandom before and I'm usually kind of shy so I really appreciate how kind and warm and welcoming everyone here is. I love you guys! Never change!💜💜

# SAEYOUNG (707) !! ♡
When the song changes to one with a smoother tempo and the lights in the party hall dim quite a bit, there's a notable shift in the general mood. Saeyoung seems relaxed for the first time, as if he's finally come to the conclusion that he's under no obligation to make himself miserable all the time to repay for sins he never willingly committed. To your slight embarrassment, he catches you staring up at him, admiring the way his glasses reflect the soft, yellow lights and the way his brightly colored hair curls ever so slightly at the tips.
You can't see it at the moment, but you have a feeling he's blushing. A bashful smile tugs at his lips, though he does his best to stifle it.
". . . Would you like to dance?" You ask, —pulling something out of nowhere in order to simmer both of your high-strung emotions down.
Saeyoung seems a bit taken aback by the request at first, but doesn't appear to be off-put by it. If he were to mask his feelings and revert back to the man you met in the chatroom originally, he'd have done some silly dance move in hopes of making you laugh. If he were to revert to being Luciel, the boy with too many emotions built up inside of him to count, he'd have denied you the opportunity to have even asked that comfortably in the first place.
But this, —this is Saeyoung. A little bit of Seven, a little bit of Luciel. Someone with layers and intricate parts. Someone strong-willed, but also someone sensitive. Someone painfully insecure at times who has sought strength in your light, and within his own.
"Sure," he gives you a gentle smile, offering his hand to you, "let's dance."
This is his equilibrium.
He has two left feet and it's obvious, but you don't mention it, and he knows you don't really care in the first place. You didn't ask to dance with him in order to put on any kind of spectacular performance. . . You asked to dance with him because it felt right, and you wanted him to pull you closer.
And you certainly got your wish. Your head is resting along his shoulder and his hands are hooked under your arms, fingers curving around your shoulders. You can feel the way he breathes, soft and slow in this moment with you, his heart beating a little quicker than it normally would. He smells of cologne with a tinge of sweetness, likely from his favorite snack. His scent is comforting, and it completely wipes away any lingering worries about what anyone else thinks of you being here with him.
Saeyoung is so warm. 
Like beaming sunlight after a night of torrential storms. Like a steaming cup of hot chocolate on a freezing winter’s day.
"I'm still having a hard time believing that all of this isn't a dream," he admits, voice softer than you've ever heard it before. "Out of all the people in the world. . . Out of all the people in the RFA. . . I just can't believe you picked me."
"I do care about everyone in the RFA, of course," you acknowledge, "but with you, it's just different. You're the only person I've ever met that's made me feel like this."
The only person I've ever met that's made my heart race quite this horribly; as if my chest is in hyperdrive. The only person that's ever yearned to accept me for all the things I am and will never prove to be.
His grip softens a bit on your shoulders, as if realizing that he doesn’t need to keep you locked in his embrace. You’d come to it willingly. . . You’ll seek him not out of obligation, not because you want him for something he’d be hard pressed to give. But simply because you love him, and you care. . . And that’s all Saeyoung could ever ask for.
Tumblr media
# SAERAN (RAY) !! ♡
Saeran doesn’t seem fond of the idea at first. When you ask, his nose scrunches up a little, as if reflexively disgusted by the thought of it. But before he denies your request, he takes a moment to ponder on the prospect. He does love you, and of that he’s sure, but being touched, being loved, accepting adoration and affection. . . Yeah, those things haven’t quite been settled yet. Far from it, in fact. But the waver in his pale mint irises assures you that he’s not opposed to the idea of dancing with you in particular. No, it’s not that at all.
It’s just the idea of being so close to someone, letting someone else see him in a position that could even be so much as interpreted as vulnerable, is a hard scenario to swallow.
“Sorry,” you apologize softly, voice barely above a whisper, “maybe I shouldn’t have asked right now.”
He pauses, lips parting ever so slightly as if he has something to say but isn’t sure what that something is just yet. After a few seconds pass, he utters: “No, no. . . It’s not that.”
Saeran pauses again, searching for the proper way to turn his thoughts and feelings into words that you can understand. In times like these, he wishes you could just slither in through his ear and live inside his brain; hear all his thoughts instead of him having to try and water them down and push out to relay them to you coherently. There are also times where he wishes you could just crawl inside him, rest between his ribs and listen to the beat of his heart; —the one that hammers away for you.
“I’d like to,” he concludes, tacking on: “but let's stay over here in the corner.”
You nod. After all, it’s not like you’d asked to dance with him to show him off to everyone at the party. You really don’t feel as if you need to prove anything at all to anyone else. As long as Saeran knows you care for him and would hold his hand through the fiery pits of hell, you really don’t care who else supports or believes in your relationship. They aren’t the ones that matter here.
When his arms encircle your waist, a smile tugs uncontrollably at your lips. Saeran actively avoids eye contact, feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of it. You don’t try to force it for the sake of some picture-perfect romance movie moment. Nothing displayed up on a silver screen could ever compare to the reality of this; —Saeran’s sloppy footwork, awkward hands, and the warmth of his body seeping into yours.
“You’re so gentle,” you mumble quietly, so much so that it almost slips him by.
He’s a bit confused by that. Out of all the ways you could describe him, gentle doesn’t seem to be one he’s ever felt accurately depicted him. Weak might be better, in his opinion. . . Foolish, gullible, —fragile, even.
But he knows you’re not insulting him. You’re pointing out something you love about him. Something he himself hates. Although, it's hard to hate that side of himself when you seem to love it so fondly. It’s hard to hate any side of himself when he’s with you.
Saeran doesn’t say much in the time between the first and second slow songs of the night. His silence is steeped in comfort, —the kind that he’s never felt before. As time all but stands still for the both of you, he gradually allows himself to get closer, allows his walls to come down little by little. Still not much one for direct eye contact in moments like these, Saeran closes his eyes when he rests his forehead gingerly against your own. 
“I love you,” you tell him tentatively.
He says nothing in response, —but he doesn’t need to. The way his grip tightens against your upper hip says it all.
Tumblr media
# JIHYUN (V) !! ♡
Jihyun is by no means a stranger to slow dancing. Though he’s far from an expert, he likes to think he knows his way around a few basic steps well enough to not completely embarrass himself. So, when you ask him to dance with you at the party, he has no reason in particular to deny you. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous about it, though.
His hands know well to mind the appropriate distance between certain areas of your body, and Jihyun spares no exception in being sure you’re as comfortable as can be. He’s so light-handed you even have to reassure him that he’s allowed to be firm and expressive.
“You don’t need to keep your distance,” you say, “—if it’s for my sake, I appreciate the thought, but it’s really not necessary.”
He swallows, but his palm readjusts to lay flat against the curve of your side. Jihyun is many things, and gentle is one of them. Both because it seems to simply be in his nature, and because he worries often that pressing too roughly against things he deeply cares for will render him alone, lost at sea once again. And if he lost you after everything it’s taken for him to be able to call you his, he’s not sure what he’d do with himself in the wake of it.
“I want to be close to you,” you add, “—if that’s what you want too, of course.”
“It is,” Jihyun quickly assures you, “so much so that it pulls at my heart until I’m not sure I can even stand it anymore.”
Of all people, Jihyun knows what it’s like to love, to give it all, and to be left with nothing in return. While he once hollowed himself out for the sake of someone who couldn’t love anyone more than her own shadow, —you are eons different in the best, most positive ways.
In a way, Jihyun feels as if this closeness depollutes him, and makes him cleaner by the second.
As if everything has settled around him for the first time in what feels like forever, and he no longer has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders alone. . . Because you’re there to uphold it with him.
The soft, sweet, melodic song playing throughout the party hall continues on, and as it does, Jihyun finds himself naturally relaxing into your warmth until one hand is planted firmly along your side and the other has laced your fingers with his. Your heart melts with every humble brush of his fingertips. As you rest your head near the crook of his neck, you can smell his expensive cologne. It’s warm-toned and almost soothing in nature, —a gift from Jumin, no doubt.
“I prefer simple things like this more than anything,” Jihyun confesses. “I’ve never been one for fancy restaurants or designer shops. I like this much better. . . The two of us sharing a moment together, and that being good enough.”
“More than anything, I just like to see you happy,” you mumble in reply.
And it’s true. Nothing in the world beats the heart-fluttering feeling that Jihyun’s smile invokes from you.
“It’s easier to be happy when you’re here,” he answers. “There’s no pressure, no expectations. . . You’re not looking to gain anything from me. You’ve seen every inch of my soul, have borne witness to all my sins, and yet here you are. . . Loving me. Holding me. . . As if I genuinely deserve it, even though I don’t.”
“You do deserve it, Jihyun,” you whisper.
And I’ll be right here by your side until you believe it yourself.

Quick update!
Finally, after much pain, stress, and drama that included 6 straight grueling days of fevers that kept me practically bedridden, this really, really nasty cold virus is finally easing up. I just need a few more days to regain my appetite and strength, and I should be back to normal.
Tumblr media
Thank you to everyone who has wished me well and kept dropping by with likes and reblogs and mentions! ❤️ I'm sorry for any messages I have left unreturned, and I hope to get to them soon. I am on a brief vacation with my family right now for Easter weekend, so it will take me a bit to return to business as usual with my blog posts.
I would also like to mention that I have a TON of catching up to do writing my Thorin fanfiction entry to the Thorin's Spring Forge event. No other fanfics from me will be released until that work is completed. The deadline is in a couple of weeks, and I have a ways to go, so please wish me lots of writing energy!
And please feel free to spam-tag me with Thorin content for inspo in the meantime! 😂
