ITOSHI SAE immediately takes you out to visit the sea when he gets some days off. The sounds of the waves, the relaxing atmosphere and you in his arms calm him down causing him to flashback to his childhood memories of when he was just a small and carefree child wanting nothing more but to play football with his little brother and personal cheerleader.
Not only he is known as the strongest but GOJO SATORU is also known for having a very strong sweet tooth. So what does he do to reduce the sugar? He shares it with you because there is nothing better than sharing his favourite thing with his lover, so let's say he gets a double dose of chocolate and candy from just seeing you and that's enough.
AVENTURINE is not afraid to take the risk and his constant smile makes it difficult for people to guess his true intentions. Not with you though, he lets his guard down, your voice soothing him to help him relax and as he gets lost in your touch. He is not Aventurine of the IPC or the Ten Stonehearts, he is just Kakavasha the little boy who once dreamed of love and now he won the biggest treasure in his life — you.
ITOSHI RIN knows how much you don't like scary movies, and that's why when you come over for the weekends you watch movies or series of your choice, be it Barbie or The Lion King. He will swallow his ego and stop watching the weekly uploads of his favourite scary games just so you can't fall asleep on purpose because of the horror films.
GETO SUGURU can't stop talking about how beautiful, amazing, and kind you are. Mimiko and Nanako are tired because they are the only ones who get to hear all his murmuring when you are away even for only 5 minutes. But they know how much he loves you and how you breathe life into him, and he wishes that someday they will become like you — strong and good-hearted.
ARGENTI thanks and prays to Idrila every moment of his life for obtaining the biggest blessing to ever exist and that is meeting you. The Knight of Beauty makes sure to give you one red rose every day to express his profound love and admiration, it's a small gesture that symbolizes his devotion to the relationship. He should protect his lover and like flowers, the tender petals are directed to you, with the thorns to the cosmic and its danger protecting you
It may seem that he is spoiled, but in fact, NAGI SEISHIRO is not, well not that much. Sometimes he takes charge of the household chores, giving you, a well-deserved break. He washed the dishes, cooked you a meal (instant noodles), and even tried to fold the laundry. And you, pleasantly surprised, sank into the couch, embracing the rare luxury of relaxation as familiar songs from your shared playlist were playing on the TV. Even if it doesn't happen often you are forever grateful for your lazy boyfriend to do something like that.
ITADORI YUJI shows genuine interest and actively listens to you talking about your current obsession be it a series, celebrity, book, food, or anything. He loves your voice, seeing your beautiful smile, and how your eyes seem to sparkle as you talk, he is so lovestruck that he sometimes just stares at you with the most soft and genuine look. Just don't be surprised when you find some merchandise on your desk with a little love note, okay?
Engaging in meaningful conversations and connecting on a deeper level with DR. RATIO seems like every other normal day for him. He approaches every interaction with a thirst for knowledge. And you take him by surprise every time and he doesn't know what to do, the great genius suddenly stops functioning. The way you hold his hand, kiss his cheek, make him stutter — he goes crazy and questions himself about how there is no logical explanation for this, but there is, it is called love.
SHIDOU RYUSEI doesn't like to share his material possessions with anyone, he worked so hard to get the last volumes of Chainsaw Man as they are now put on the shelf in his bedroom. And imagine his reaction when he sees you reading volume 10 which has Makina on the cover, cuddled nicely with his blanket on the bed. How dare you read it without him? And so he jumps onto the mattress, squishing you because that's your punishment for not telling him. You apologized to him of course but for him to fully forgive you, next time you will be on anicon cosplaying Makima and Denji.
FUSHIGURO MEGUMI remembers the small details about you and your preferences. If you don't like a certain ingredient in the food, he will order the dish without it. You like to sleep on this side of the bed, no problem he will sleep on the other side as you both cuddle and drift to Dreamland. He will immediately notice the change in your mood and even if he is not so good with words, he will always be there for you offering his warm embrace.
As a Galaxy Ranger BOOTHILL tends to travel around the cosmos a lot and sadly he can't spend time with you. But when he's with you, one of the things you do is his hair and to put cute stickers on his metal hands or guns. The scary cyborg cowboy is now a pretty princess with pigtails, heart stickers and with a very happy lover. He watches you having fun with his makeover — and will do everything possible to spend more time with you.

☆ JISUNG
he's very clingy, and he misses you very much despite being a busy student like you…
what will he do?
bring you to a 24/7 cafe and stay there overnight :>
so he can have you and coffee—two of his essentials to stay up the whole night
he gets to spend some time with the love of his life and consume the black liquid that will always make his eyes open for several hours
he'd say it's the best combination ngl :ppp 
when you have to memorize something, you can read the same line on your laptop repeatedly while leaning on jisung's chest
you get less tension in your body because your senses are overwhelmed with jisung's arms around your torso, his scent, the smile on his face, and his voice whenever he has to read his own paper or help you remember some terms
jisung will find ways to make you remember and understand concepts, such as making acronyms, melodies, or anything that can help you get them into your mind in an instant <33
if he could pull a joke with the term you’re trying to remember, he’d do it!!! he’ll definitely use some of his remaining brain cells to give your mind some room for more concepts to familiarize yourself!
his support and presence comfort you so much that you forget the pressure that has been building up inside you for the past week
he will be wonderfully sustaining this energy until you finish all of your deadlines and exams in the next few days
you guys will continuously do the same routine: meet up after class, head straight to the cafe, study together, and go back home
it may sound simple, but the specifics within all of those have been the best and the most effective for your peace of mind
and it’s all because jisung’s with you all the way <3
he may hop into your apartment and eat some dinner with you if you’re feeling lazy to go to the cafe
and look after you once in a while if you need any help, just like what you two do whenever you’re in the cafe <33
he’d stay over with you when it’s very late and plan out your meals for the next day so you’ll have a big boost!!! so you can be productive!!!
inarguably the best bf to be with imo :D
☆ FELIX
felix can’t keep thinking of anything else if he wants to be with you when you study
you’re his only focus!!!
and he’ll never stop until you successfully finish all of your tasks
(hence why sometimes felix tells you he kinda messed up some recitations in his classes :’< tell him to prioritize his studies too please)
right after his own class, he’ll rush to wherever you are and treat you like royalty as usual!
the only difference here is that he’s physically ready always when you need some company
whenever he has nothing to do, he really finds you and stays by your side until he has to leave once again for a group meeting or attend another class
he thinks there should be someone accompanying you so you wouldn’t trap yourself in any negative thoughts
that’s why he’s also your cheerleader
he has been very optimistic even if you’re on the verge of breaking down
and honestly, it helps you face all of your fears in academics
if you feel you’re gonna miss a task, you always try to remember felix’s words on how much work you did for your assignments and you can pass whatever you did
because, at the end of the day, you did what you can do!!! and that’s what matters!!!
if you got to catch up, good for you!! a cheerful felix is still by your side and applauding your effort!!!
(and he’ll definitely do the same if you passed your work unfinished :D don’t worry, he’s still very proud of you!!)
whenever he’s with you, you convince him to do his own work
but he’s very stubborn </3
as i mentioned earlier, he can’t think of anything else if you’re intensely studying for your exams!
consider him as your coach of some sort… he’ll always be there so you can be comfortably consistent at your own pace :>
maybe when he gets a lot of things on his plate, he’d still accompany you because “i always have the time to do my work :p” (a.k.a. pulling an all-nighter in his apartment)
you’ll look after him next when you’re done with your tasks.
he also needs some of your coaching </3
but that will end up felix getting distracted though because you are with him when he has to study. 
good luck :’D he probably wasn’t kidding when he said you’re his focus
☆ SEUNGMIN
seungmin will move in the background when he realizes that you have a lot on your plate
he works in the morning so he doesn’t do too much of studying under the moonlight
but you do the opposite
what seungmin will do is organize some things around you
he wouldn’t mind sorting out some things you weren’t able to clean up on the other side of the table
especially that stack of papers you’ve been reading for the last two weeks
your whiteboard, filled with your list of deadlines, will also be updated by seungmin!
“are you done with that one quiz last week?” “yep, i’m done” and there goes seungmin erasing that one written on the whiteboard
this is one random thought, but seungmin will definitely sort out some food in your fridge while you’re busy on your desk
you let him munch on whatever he’ll find in your fridge
he’ll throw out food that has been stocked in there for a long time
if he finds something for you to eat, he would bring it to you and will push it near you on your desk if you decline his love for you (a.k.a. silently giving food haha)
“c’mon, go eat!!! :<” “let me finish this bit?” *seungmin pushes the orange juice and already-heated chicken pie near you* “no, take a sip and a bite first!!!”
and he’d finish his adventure in your fridge once you take that sip and bite lmao
he’ll come back with his stomach full, with more food for you to eat
there is a high chance that he’ll scold you if he comes back after an hour and you haven’t finished that small portion of food he gave you :<
watch out for a very caring seungmin
he will not hesitate to feed you while you’re reviewing your books!
once your stomach’s full because of the food seungmin fed you and your mind’s overwhelmed because of information overload, seungmin will accompany you through your routine until you go to bed
he’s sooo willing to prepare your pajamas while you’re in the shower
he will also volunteer to do your skin routine if you do that
you wouldn’t be surprised when you’ll finally lie down in bed and you’re immediately wrapped with your blanket (that’s all seungmin’s doing :p)
you’ll have a refreshing morning with seungmin wrapped around you too :’>
☆ JEONGIN
if you’re in his room at the dorms (so he can look after you occasionally haha), he wouldn’t mind giving you the privacy and peace you need so you can focus on studying
because he can’t trust you being alone in your room :< you might get distracted if you’re alone in your dorm!
unless you ask him to stay with you :D 
he’s just one call away! he’ll be with the boys, playing mario kart with felix for a few hours
he will also scold the boys if any of them have the audacity to make noise
“keep quiet changbin!!!!” because the man shouted when he lost against chan in tekken 7 :((( 
he’s just… he wants some bit of silence in the dorm since the walls are quite thin and you can hear almost any sound outside of his room lol
then you’ll hear the boys squeal and tease him at how sweet he has been to you 
rip jeongin’s ears
since he’s outside of his room, you wouldn’t notice whether or not he went out of the dorm
don’t be surprised if he leaves you some coffee or muffins after buying his americano outside with the boys
he drops it off very quick! you weren’t even able to say thank you to him :<<
but you did find a cute note attached to the food he gave to you :DD 
“i love u :* such a hardworking baby :< always know that you did your best to prepare for your exams, whether the results are good or bad! mwah <3”
you value that so much :((( 
he leaves you motivating notes a lot until the point you have kept a box full of them from jeongin!
he’s so strict about your studying, so he really doesn’t get in his room unless you say so
but of course, you know this is not your home so you still let him in any time, especially at night 
you can trust him to not distract you
you still go to bed together :p he can’t survive without you in his arms
unfortunately, he’s so stubborn about this fact^ sigh
that’s why when the exams week is over, he greets you with a tight hug and tons of kisses
such a clingy baby after a week of barely any physical affection for you
“can we have a date now?”
“right away?”
“heh… yes?”

👄 Random facts about nakshatras in vedic astrology 👄
Tumblr media
ROHINI nakshatra is associated with infancy when a baby is still drinking breast milk. Rohini natives have a big jaw because babies are sucking mom's breast. They also tend to have rabbit teeth. They're liked by children. It's easy for them to connect with them. For example, Angelina Jolie is Rohini Sun. Her kids like her more than father Brad Pitt and even defend her from father
DHANISHTHA nakshatra natives ruled by a lioness are very protective of kids. Especially, if they're adopted by them. They often play a role of someone else's mother. They're good at upbringing kids and giving them stability in life
UTTARA ASHADHA nakshatra ruled by a mongoose can't stand manipulations and lies. In nature mongooses tend to violently kill snakes. Uttara Ashadha natives might scare snake nakshatras like Rohini (male snake), Mrigashira (female snake), Uttara Bhadrapada (deep sea serpent), Ashlesha (deity naga: human with a snake body). Uttara Ashadha natives are bad at receiving compliments because they think this is a form of manipulation
NAKSHATRAS ASSOCIATED WITH EARS tend to constantly have sensory overloads. They're hypersensitive towards any vibrations, especially, sounds. They often wear earphones, sunglasses, multiple layers of clothing and don't like to go to the public places. Especially, they hate parties. These nakshatras are elephant nakshatras Bharani (male elephant), Revati (female elephant), Ashlesha (body organ: ears), Shravana (meaning: to hear), Uttara Ashadha (symbol: elephant's tusk). Watch "Kiss Sixth Sense". The main character Cha Min Hoo has sensory overload and he also has big ears
MOON NAKSHATRAS look youthful and act infantile. They have strong maternal instincts and represent feminine energy. Females are drown to them. Especially, to Mrigashira nakshatra (deity Soma who controls the Moon), nakshatras ruled by Moon (Rohini, Hasta, Shravana) and Taureans since Moon is exalted in Taurus. Them looking youthful comes from a fact that Mrigashira's deity Soma ruling over Moon is also a drink of youth
PUSHYA NAKSHATRA has deity Brihaspati who's a personification of a planet Jupiter. Pushya natives are very controlling and demanding. They're good at managing people and increasing their capital. Good nakshatra for bosses since it's symbol is cow's udder which makes Pushya natives very resourceful and responsible for the well-being of other people
NAKSHATRAS ASSOCIATED WITH FEET are good at dancing and cheerleading. They have to constantly get rid of their stagnant energy by moving their body. They tend to have strong stamina and high sexuality. These nakshatras are Bharani (body organ: feet) and Shravana (symbol: foot print)
SNAKE NAKSHATRAS are good at performing in front of dozens of people because they know how to hypnotise them with their moves and sounds. They often want to work as a news presenter, journalist or reporter because these jobs include lying and manipulating which snakes are good at. Snake nakshatras are also responsible for occultism, sorcery and hidden messages
SNAKE NAKSHATRAS also have elastic body regardless their body weight. They can become really good belly dancers or strippers
HASTA NAKSHATRA is ruled by fingers. Hasta natives are good masseurs, magicians, tricksters, hairdressers and make-up artists
BULL NAKSHATRAS SWATI AND HASTA are very scary when angry. They have an unstable mind which occurs because of chaotic childhood. They have calm animals like cats to sedate them
UTTARA PHALGUNI NATIVES don't like to get noticed because they have an alien-like appearance and character since they're ruled by rare white tigers. They're true outcasts. Nobody wants to hire them or help them get an education because everyone expect them to scare people
MRIGASHIRA NAKSHATRA is the nakshatra related to having cosmic connections. Mrigashira natives are very receptive of energies. They're clairvoyant. They often receive signals in the form of angel numbers, prophetic dreams, songs. They can telepathically connect with their loved ones when they need any help. People can come in their dreams to spend time with them. They're good at interpreting tarot readings and astrological charts
BHARANI NAKSHATRA means "the bearer". Bharani natives dream of becoming a parent since their childhood. Bharani males often take on a role of the mother of their kids. Bharani males are more feminine than their female partners. They might often cry because Bharani is associated with pregnancy and hormonal disbalance
ASHWINI NAKSHATRA is the nakshatra of princesses. Ashwini natives have high-pitched voice, strong connection with animals, good fashion sense and royal manners
KRITTIKA NAKSHATRA is the nakshatra of bisexuality. It's deity is Agni, god of fire and self-sacrifice. He's known to be married to both goddess Svaha and Moon god Soma. Hinduism emphasises that Agni represents a feminine role. So, Krittika natives might have a relationship with multiple people at once
"Agni had same-sex sexual encounters that involved accepting semen from other gods. In the text of Kathasaritsagara of 11th century, it is mentioned that Shiva forced Agni to receive his semen. The semen caused a burning sensation so it was dropped into the river Ganges; and Kartikeya was born for Shiva"
KRITTIKA NAKSHATRA is the birth of Sun (male fertility), Adam. ROHINI NAKSHATRA is the birth of Moon (female fertility), Eve. Rohini nakshatra is associated with Garden of Eden. Rohini is represented by a female snake. Some theories say that Eve was a naga (human with a snake body). Credit to maria.saalas on Instagram
PURVA PHALGUNI NATIVES are the laziest because this nakshatra is associated with bed pleasures and sexual satisfaction. They want to be praised by their partner and are dominant in sex. Usually, Purva Phalguni females have masculine energy unless they have a strong masculine partner. They tend to date weak men who can't stand for themselves and get what they want in life. For example, Purva Phalguni Moon and Ascendant native Bella Hadid who's dated The Weeknd who bullied her in his songs and disrespected her by leaking her voice messages in his songs
It's said that ASHWINI AND BHARANI NAKSHATRAS have the best compatibility. Ashwini's organ is top of foot and Bharani's organ is sole of foot
KRITTIKA NAKSHATRA is associated with leading a healthy lifestyle and fish because in mythology Krittika's deity Agni turned into a fish to avoid his job of delivering sacrifices to gods. Krittika natives might be very religious and worship the gods
PURVA BHADRAPADA NAKSHATRA NATIVES ruled by a lion are well-mannered and obedient. They will serve you only if you'll give them resources. They want to receive a good wage for their hard work. They will quit their job if their boss will disrespect them
CHITRA NATIVES ruled by a tigress like to live a luxurious life. Their symbol is bright jewel or pearl which are really expensive. They're true gold diggers. It's easy for them to find money resources and attract the rich. For example, Chitra Sun native Kim Kardashian who's worked for a wealthy hotel heiress Paris Hilton. Kim also has Chitra Pluto which is responsible for your family financial situation
DHANISHTHA NAKSHATRA (lioness) is associated with lesbians. While PURVA BHADRAPADA NAKSHATRA (lion) is associated with gays

I think part of what bugs me the most about the Neanderthal storyline Taylor's got going on is that Taylor's much maligned actual partner (KK) is completely her equal. Karlie is so ambitious, intelligent, curious, and well-spoken, among many other positive adjectives. She isn't JUST a famous person who made her name on one talent. Taylor is also special in this way. She's not just a wonderful musician. She's basically a poet and wordsmith, deeply passionate, ambitious and a shrewd business person. TK doesn't even compare, and it's so frustrating to see how so many millions of her fans would rather think of her as his future trad wife than as a full human who deserves an equal.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but it just pisses me off on a cosmic level. It pisses me off as a queer woman, but also just as a woman living in this fucking society.
Yes, yes. I agree with all the above. It’s what bothered me about it from the start, but the reaction to it is what makes me cringe. How quickly women will support a boss ass woman shrinking herself to become a man’s cheerleader for their singular talent. And for that to be the main thing they can’t shut up about now.

Ten Years
Today is the 10th anniversary of the series premiere of Alex Hirsch’s Gravity Falls on the Disney Channel.
Gravity Falls was a harbinger; it was Disney shaking itself out of its post-Kim Possible doldrums and staking out a bold vision of creator-driven all-ages animated TV series. Legend of Korra was airing at the same time over on Nickelodeon (yeah, Korra is also ten years old; it premiered a couple months prior) but Disney, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon had all seriously ebbed back from their mid-aughts creative peaks and were sort of coasting on cheap, lousy, live-action programming, or shows that could be charming and were huge moneymakers, but made NO demands of their audience, such as Teen Titans Go! It’s not that they had nothing going on (Phineas and Ferb was airing) but it was slim pickings.
Gravity Falls would change that. In two seasons over four years it established itself as a critical, cultural, and financial sensation. Disney would follow this up with the flawed-but-still great Star vs. the Forces of Evil, the thoroughly entertaining Wander Over Yonder, the complete tour-de-force of Amphibia, and the tragically cut-short The Owl House.
All of those shows with the possible exception of Wander Over Yonder are loosely serialized creator-helmed YA shows that are invested and dripping with passion and relevance.
Gravity Falls is simultaneously a cryptid-of-the-week show about a zany sideshow attraction AND a show about the uplifting nature of even a flawed family.
Star vs. the Forces of Evil begins as a show about a magical princess from another dimension going to high school and getting into fights with the head cheerleader; it ends with an all-out civil war between people seeking to abolish a corrupt authoritarian order and fascist racists who object to all the race-mixing going on these days. A major plot point is that there’s a grand conspiracy to overthrow and erase from history an entire branch of the ruling family because the Queen boned someone from the wrong race and had a halfie kid, and the powers that be can’t have that.
Wander Over Yonder brought the same joy and whimsy we got from the Powerpuff Girls or Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends to a sci-fit setting straight out of Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century, brought to life by Jack McBrayers superb voice acting.
Amphibia and the Owl House are isekais (the anime term for “trapped in another word” series) that take what has become the most played-out genre in Japan and rebuilds it with all the strengths, all the verve, of western animators who grew up looking at the tropes and decided ���I can marry this to an American sensibility and then do it better. Both shows utterly thrive on building a huge cast of interlinked characters and exploring the interiority of their lives en route to some pretty massive cosmic shit.
These are not shows you plop kids in front of to get them out of the way; these are the very definition of shows you watch and enjoy as a family. And they all had that “created by” note in their opening credits; Alex Hirsch, Daron Nefcy, Craig McCracken, Matt Braly, and Dana Terrace. One could argue that this era of shows is directly or indirectly responsible for spurring Netflix’ own forays into this kind of animation; Voltron: Legendary Defender and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power are cut from the same cloth.
This era may, sadly, be coming to an end. The Owl House is being cut down in its prime because Disney is pivoting away from serialized content of this nature; they want more “fun, bite-sized school hijinks” and less “adorable lesbians fight the evil empire.“ They don’t want a show people get into shipping wars on twitter over; they want Baymax.
This past decade and these shows will create and inspire a whole new generation of animators. Just as the people making these shows all came up under late-90s, early-aughts classic anime and cartoon series (Teen Titans, Reboot, Gargoyles, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Kim Possible, that sort of thing) the work they’ve done will launch into the future the great animated series of the 2030s. Somewhere an twelve-year-old boy is watching The Owl House; in 2035 he will be given a contract for his own show by a producer who in 2012 was a ten-year-old girl watching Gravity Falls.
So happy anniversary, Gravity Falls. You’ve made a lot of folks very happy.
