Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸

[Ep Fifteen] Amoosing Adventure!

And finally, though last but not least, we can congratulate our second Surprise Winner, Ivor Korrapati, who came second to Josiah in the runners’ up fishing challenge!

It might have been an “easy” choice, but Daniel also 300% wanted to go to this date location! He organized a private tour of a small, local Komobe dairy farm for the two of them to enjoy - where they fully relished their time in the fresh air surrounded by new furry friends!

@anarchosimdicalist Ivor truly is the sweetest sim when it comes to cows! And yes, because of the way the game works, Daniel actually owns these three lovely rescued Komobe Beef Cows: they’re named San, Nana, and Hachi!

[ Part 1/2 ] 🌹

#ts4 #ts4 screenshots #ts4 gameplay #ts4 challenge #ts4 bachelor challenge #;kmik #sim: daniel #ivor korrapati by anarchosimdicalist #|| #omg this was legit the perfect date for them fhdhfh #plenty of distractions for ivor’s social anxiety and awkwardness and #plenty of opportunities for me to take pictures of dan with cows I MEAN— #but legit they had such a good time!! #like i know i say that often but #dan rly does get along with everyone #even when they don’t really flirt!! #and ivor and daniel had a healthy balance of comfortable friendly conversation #and a few sweet fleeting flirtations from the both of them #while dan was definitely confident #(and i think very much In the Moment and taken out of the stress of the challenge #by the familiarity of the farm) #ivor seemed pretty nervous the moment things became more one-on-one #which was just precious #but they got to a point where physicality like hugging wasn’t off-putting and didnt make ivor tense #it was so sweet 🥹 to watch!!!

ok gonna be real I’ve never understood the “daigo is like a son to me” route that the writers took with kiryu. they’ve never, at least for most of their time knowing each other, felt like they’ve had a father and son dynamic– an older brother/younger brother one sure, or maybe a young uncle/nephew one. because I mean? they’ve known each other since they were both kids and they’re literally only 8 years apart in age. in y0 it’s implied that kiryu played with him and babysat him more or less when he was around 16-20 and it just doesn’t feel like a Dad sort of thing At All. kiryu was also a kid. just an older kid. daigo was a little brat to him just like an annoying little brother while secretly thinking of kiryu as a Cool Teenager he looked up to and wanted to be more like. it feels way more like an older/younger sibling sort of thing or something akin to that and it only starts being a little more like a father/son dynamic some time after daigo loses his father and feels the need to fill the void– which he couldn’t even begin to do until at least ten years later because kiryu was in prison. and it’s not particularly in a healthy way either, considering. well. like I said. kiryu’s never actually been like a father to him. I don’t even mean that in a negative way in this case, it’s just literally not the role kiryu fundamentally had in his life (especially because their age difference is a good 10-20 years too close to be that of a parental relationship.) so idk. having kiryu say all of a sudden that he sees daigo as a son (especially rather than as family in some other way) just feels kinda. wrong. and jarringly unfounded.

I mean shit, even majima would be more of a dad-ish figure to daigo realistically considering kiryu basically assigned him to look after daigo for like. years. while kiryu just kinda left without any known plans of reconnecting at all. or even kashiwagi on a certain level because of how he stepped in alongside yayoi after sohei’s death. kiryu has barely been around, hasn’t really showed any interest in legitimately being in his life, and has barely had any deeply personal interactions with him since they were basically both kids. and as much as I think how long they’ve known each other and what they’ve both been through is a means for a familial bond of SOME kind, there just seems like no room or evidence for a paternal role being taken on.

at least nothing healthy in that regard; if kiryu’s like a dad to him then he’s undoubtedly a deadbeat one and perhaps feels like a dad to daigo in a way because daigo’s paternal model (his birth father) was also emotionally (and probably largely physically) absent and near-impossible to live up to. that’d at least make sense, regardless of how unhealthy it’d be, but it STILL really doesn’t explain kiryu saying he thinks of daigo like a son.

it’s just. it’s such a weird thing to have him say and I wish it was this confusing because of nuance but honestly I just think the writers watered their dynamic down to supposedly father/son because it seems more emotionally impactful for kiryu to say “you’re like a son to me” than anything else he could’ve potentially said about their bond.

#kiryu #daigo #rambling #sorry this is out of nowhere I just was thinking about their dynamic in y0 and it really hit me that like #yeah they’re. not that far apart in age. #kiryu was 7-8 years old when daigo was born. not exactly Father Age #and moreover it’s the fact that they grew up together As Kids to an extent #can you imagine if you and your father were both in your 20s or 30s At The Same Time #that’s. not a big age gap #also let me be clear I don’t think majima’s a paternal figure to daigo that was just an example to say like. even He has more basis in a way #for that to make sense #but even with majima- the age difference thing still kinda gets me because they’re only like 11ish years apart #like yeah majima’s significantly more mature don’t get me wrong but. #daigo’s dad is of a dad-like age to majima as well if you wanna put it in perspective. #makes it less weird when he highkey flirts with/sexualizes daigo in dead souls. like it’s okay. they’re not far apart in age enough to where #it’s Super Uncomfortable or something #another way of looking at this stuff is just considering that daigo and kiryu are both technically in the same generation #doesn’t particularly mean much but it’s still interesting to consider. they’re both solidly gen X (despite daigo absolutely feeling like he #should be a millennial). #majima’s technically (though just barely) a boomer so do with that what you will. that’s unrelated I just wanted to mention it cause it’s #funny to me #anyway I got off track. I hope any of this made sense

Emotional roller coaster of an episode. Just a few random thoughts.

Love any and every scene we get of Jeng and Jaab. And Jaab comforting Jeng was so sweet.

Pat’s parents are so cute. But Pat’s stepdad doesn’t come to visit with his mom?

Your chef dad was at your house cooking, Pat, so where was the chef’s hat?

They really had me worried something bad was going to happen to Ae and Kanun’s baby there. But then they kept cutting to the two jokers on the bike.

Everyone looking at the photo Ae posted and having their own issues they’re going through, but congratulating her and being awed by new life was poignant.

But they just threw us into the end of her pregnancy. I’m not clear about when the time skip happened. But did they also get married for real? Because I think they also referred to each other as wife/hubby in ep. 1.

Jeng has such attractive friends.

I loved Tiger going to timeout because of Jeng.

Does Pat have a heart-shaped birthmark?

I hope Krit tells his family about Chot eventually 🥺

Did not like all the Jeng tears. Or Pat's. But Jeng's were more unexpected.

#step by step #step by step the series #jeng x pat #pat x jeng #I don’t know why they’re out here spoiling multiple kiss scenes in the preview though??? #I hate when they do that #or on YouTube when it’s in the thumbnail #or even in the trailers #stop spoiling the kisses! #I feel like Jane doesn’t really have a right to be mad at jaab though #he kissed jaab while dating someone else #so jaab has a right to be hurt because after Jane kissed him #it really seems like he knew he was flirting with jaab all along #so of course that would hurt jaab #I mean of course jane can be sad and hurt #but don’t be out here bashing jaab and jeng? #also nan came back for a half second! good to see her #ae giving birth and posting a pic and tagging pat and jaab is hilarious #also i was hoping pat would run to jeng's condo after he got those snacks since he knows where it is but alas

tell me your failed/embarrassing flirting stories to make me feel better, i’ll go first: today i said “get out of my way” forgot to say “i’m kidding” then immediately said “bye”

#it is awful having feelings for someone you know and have an established friendship with #but crushing on someone i barely know is knew to me and i legit feel like an idiot every time i do something stupid like this #i can’t just. talk to the guy #if i say hey and he says sup i say ‘sup indeed’ like what the fuck is that #i can barely even say hello to him #don’t get me wrong i’ve DONE it but most days i’m like #ah fuck there he is #okay you can do it just say hi #just say what’s up #and then he’s already gone #also. like. the setting we’re in is soooo not good for talking or flirting realt because um. it’s work he’s my coworker.. so um. do i fuckin #ask him for his number?? or to hang out??? but like. he’s kind of a stranger to me what do i want to hang out for 🧍 #but like. ​i dont want to do that until i have at least one successful interaction #or like. an actual conversation. #which is gonna be really hard to manage because he doesn’t talk much at all to anyone and i really only talk if someone talks to me first or #i’ll say something absolutely idiotic and ridiculous (and honestly i do that no matter what) #anyway so um. i guess i’m just gonna keep making a fool of myself until i get it right and hopefully i don’t screw it up 🥴 #i lost all my confidence in the last year and i cant do anything chill or smooth anymore (i was never that good in the first place but at #least i could PRETEND i knew what i was doing. like i could sell it. the whole weird and lost bit.) #anyway. i felt better for like 5 minutes when some guy at the gas station flirt failed with me on the way home. but that’s partly my fault #too oops. in his defense he probably could not see that i had headphones on bc upon mirror inspection they were well blended with my hair #but i was waiting to cross the street and this guy tried to like nod and smile and i did not know it was to me until i got to the other side #where the gas station was and and like. tried again and i awkward half smiled and saw his face get all mushy and confused like mine FELT 20 #mins before when i’d flopped so hard trying to flirt and by the time i’d processed WAIT i think he was FLIRTING WITH ME i was already gone 🤡 #but at least it ended better than the poor 14yo who very confidently asked for my number #who. i shit you not. SCREECHED for a solid 44.5 seconds and bolted the other direction when i said sorry im 21 #his friends were standing there like wtf too and one was like i am so sorry about him 🤦 #cheers to being fools universe

sometimes I wonder if I should take a gender studies class just so I can bitch every day about how an imaginary boyfriend is often seen as a requirement for a woman to feel safe enough to have fun at a club, or the idea that an imaginary person with a fake “claim” over me has more influence over predatory men than my own voice saying “No, I’m not interested, get lost”

#venting #hnnnnng the double standard is really really making my teeth hurt recently #(in that I’m grinding my jaw at the mere thought of this particular breed of injustice) #I honestly miss going out with my friends. I miss going to bars and clubs and enjoying the night #but I wanna go with my friends and leave my boyfriend at home for once #he gets to go out and enjoy himself all the time with his friends and they never even have to deal with unwanted flirtation #meanwhile I go out in a tshirt and jeans and get fucking catcalled or flirted with just fucking getting groceries #and it’s not a narrative on beauty or anything. it’s about men’s perception of women #specifically predatory men and men who don’t realize they’re BEING predatory #perhaps it’s because I’ve been going to this fucking gamer school for far too long #and I’ve interacted with so many socially inept/incel men from there #who don’t know what no means or dont take women seriously when they do say no #or they literally cannot read between the lines of a woman politely declining their advances #‘but she was being so nice to me’ yeah bc if she wasn’t you’d either call her a bitch or try to force her anyway #anyway. I’m angry #im tired of living in fear of morons #I’m tired of not being able to go out on a Tuesday night and just walk the town with my friends #specifically my femme friends #we should be at the club!! instead we’re trying to make sure the group is like a school of fish so we’re less of a target #and like. I could talk about this on twt or reddit but. cmon. let’s be real here #MelloMoans #really does feel like we’re going backwards when it comes to gender equality and feminism #especially with the influx of the whole sigma male/high value male bullshit #I understand how it came to be I really do but that plus the whole pick me girl thing is just another toxic view of gender identity #and all it has resulted in on both sides is a wider degree of separation between the genders #therefore allowing both extremes to dehumanize every one that doesn’t identify as sigma male or not like other girls YET AGAIN #(and therefore also opens up the door for dehumanizing lgbtq+ folks but. let’s be real. that hasn’t really gone away yet :/

rewatching Once Upon a Time in Wonderland for zero reason and boy howdy most of the main characters are 100% sluts it’s really fabulous

OUaT was all goody two shoes but Once Wonderland was really like How Camp Can We Possibly Get that’s what spin-offs are for really

#Will is a canon hoe #the red queen will keep flirting even when she’s just been force-choked #Cyrus will use that sparkle in his eye on ANYONE #and don’t get me started about Jafar #Naveen Andrews really put his whole Jafussy into this show #clearly having a blast in his Tim Curry era #he looks GREAT with sparkly eyeshadow and winged liner #every scene between Jafar and the Red Queen is so MUCH #naveen andrews and emma rigby prolly goin ‘if disney is letting us get away with this lets rob the fukken bank’ #once upon a time in wonderland #ouat #once wonderland

Had not heard of the Imperfects before today but randomly decided to watch it. Binged the entire season today. Abbi Singh is my best friend and I love her and exactly the kind of queer representation we need more of. The show isn’t perfect and there’s things I wish they’d done differently but the whole show is worth it for giving us her. I hope people watch this show but fuck these days I don’t believe that Netflix will renew anything that’s got queer POC leads. Not even having a huge number of people watch a program and talk about it online and push for it is enough (yeah I’m talking about First Kill), they just decide whether or not a show gets another season based on bullshit. I hope it gets renewed my heart cannot take every good new show getting cancelled and there were some great plot hooks for the next season.

#the imperfects #abbi singh #I love her so much #we finally got to see an ace succubus which is such a perfect character trope #and her romantic interest includes women #she is perfect and can do no wrong even when the writers make her do bad things #I love her and Hannah #frankly a smidge homophobic how many times they kill Hannah but whatever #I really enjoyed this show #mostly because of Abbi #I did not like the way they treated the Banshicabra relationship #if you have a significant other and you are in a monogamous relationship and you get feelings for someone else #either break up with your significant other have a conversation with them about the situation and make a decision together #or end those feelings before you hurt everyone involved #ethical nonmanogamy is great but when the significant other is monogamous I don’t like seeing characters joyfully flirting and crushing #bit of an off topic rant in the tags #this post also kind of went off the rails it was mostly supposed to be about how much I love Abbi #our lovely ace scientist succubus with a girlfriend

Absolutely weeping over a 60s tv show nobody else cares about

#I don’t know. there’s a lot to unpack #I just watched the one with the aviary #and I’m just rly emo abt jeannie/marty #they are both so fucking unhappy sometimes #I feel like sometimes it’s easy for the audience and for Jeff to forget that like #he’s dead. to Jeannie he’s dead!! #esp since in the last couple of eps Marty has been so serious and not in like. his usual panic-at-everything way #but in a way that to me suggests that he’s just. really unhappy #him being excited to show Jeff he can move a cup and then Jeff dismissing it #and I feel like it discourages Marty bc he ends up thinking yea whatever he’s right it is a stupid thing to be proud of #and then obvs Jeff is like okay now I’m gonna have ur wife flirt with some other guy like #nooo stop that’s the thing he’s SENSITIVE about lol #even tho I firmly believe that Jeff is right when he says that Jeannie should move on #I just don’t think it’s time yet #idk I should channel this energy into fanfic lol but I don’t have time rn #so I’m just. spilling thoughts everywhere #the fact that Jean is consistently SO vulnerable to manipulation when it comes to Marty #and the fact that Pete and her other friends either are oblivious to that or just don’t care #like in that fucking party where she’s sat on her own and she’s So fucking sad #and none of them go to see if she’s okay #and when she’s like hey I’d Really rather not do any kind of seance shit #they’re just like whatever come on don’t wimp out #like. they know of course they know. they KNOW she was bereaved recently #why don’t they listen to her when she expresses discomfort #like obviously it’s good for Marty that she goes along with it in the end #but they still shouldn’t be pressing her on something which is CLEARLY an upsetting subject for her #idek!! #anyway whatever #this is merely a FRACTION of my thoughts. I am thinking abt this show SO hard lol #randall and hopkirk deceased

to the beautiful girl dressed as juliet from the halloween party two days ago: i am still thinking about you

#she was crazy beautiful and we danced for so long #she was a friend’s friend so at one point we went to sit together with everyone else and there weren’t enough chairs #so she pulled me onto her lap and when i told her to be careful cause i’m heavy #she said not to worry cause she works out so she can handle hot women????!!!! whjsgjajakshs #should have kissed her then and there but we literally had just sat down in the middle of all of our friends so i thought later #and at one point i think before that she kighted me with a water bottle?? i can’t remember why but i kneeled in front of her #so she knighted me and then gave me a kiss on the forehead and then one on each cheek #should have kissed her then too but i think we did the knight thing as a demonstration to ppl so again all of our friends were paying atten #anyway after both the lap the knighting and dancing very closely for a while i took her somewhere else #like outside so i could find an excuse to kiss her #but there were other couples there and everyone was asked to get back inside #so we did and then we sat down somewhere #we were chatting and then she said something about the guy who was flirting with her and how she wasn’t sure she should kiss him #because (here i don’t remember exactly) something about her ex boyfriend and how that guy wasn’t sober #so after that i was like wait am i sober enough so i realized i was a little too drunk and didn't try anything again #anyway we continued to dance and flirt but nothing more #and then she left and all i could think of please can i see you again #cause i would really like to kiss you and now i'm still thinking about her #but i don’t use insta and even if i did i prob wouldn’t flirt with her via insta cause i'm too chicken #but if i don’t use insta how can i see her again since i don't see our mutual friend that frequently #ou mutual friend is my high school friend and her middle school friend #my high school friend group is planning to get together in like a month and a half ( we have to plan in advance lol) #so i might ask about her then 💀💀💀 #might be a little pathetic to ask about someone you met once after 1 month and a half but honestly i really did like her a lot #and i AM a little pathetic so… #also just to be clear this is not the girl i kissed in the sonic costume lol i was dressed as wednesday addams and didn’t kiss her :( #also no hate to the girl i kissed in the sonic costume she was cute but juliette girl was so... asdjlkfsçad #my post

It always annoys me when catfish go to visit someone after they get blocked/get visited by someone blocked when they’re like “everything I did was me, just a different face” and it’s like. No it wasn’t. We all saw you come up with that shit. That was not you

#the circle netflix #the circle #like are they told to say that? #or they just trying to save face? #been rewatching season 1 and Karyn absolutely wasn’t playing herself #talking about skinny pretty girls and flirting with guys #like i get we don’t see the whole story but that wasn’t you #also seaburn my love did it too #loved watching him and he really seemed sweet like Rebecca but that wasn’t all him #every season they always do it and so rarely are they ever truthful #the only one I ever really believed was John aka mama Carol #but maybe Im biased cuz he was one of my all time favorites #and is the only one I still regularly follow outside the circle #Karyn disappointed me with it cuz I feel like she was one of the few people to acknowledge that it’s a game #like even when she was calling people out she was respecting their gameplay #too many people take the game way too seriously

[transcendental-woman]

If you’re gonna be disgusting and take every possible opportunity to say something weird and horny and sexual to me, can you just… unfollow me please?? 🙄🙄

#like go awayyyyy #I’ll post what I want when I want #and it DOES NOT MEAN I WANT TO FLIRT WITH YOU HOLY FUCK WHATS WRONG WITH Y’ALL #gonna start being really free with that block button so don’t even try me
