where you'll meet your soulmate
Tumblr media
I know this is fairly vague when it comes to astrology and how intricate of an art it can be, especially when it comes to the placement of Juno. But I find this to be pretty spot on when it comes to the dreamy meet cute you have with your destined one.
Juno in the 1st House: Picture this - you're shining bright, maybe you're on stage, or it's your birthday bash. There’s laughter, music, and bam! Your eyes lock with theirs across the room. It's electric, like a scene from a movie. Love at first sight? Heck yeah. This isn't a slow burn; it's fireworks from the get-go. Imagine meeting the one person who sees you, the real you, in a crowd of faces. That’s your moment.
Juno in the 2nd House: Imagine casually browsing through a bookstore or maybe hustling at a side gig, and there they are. Maybe they're helping you pick out the perfect gift, or you’re laughing over a bizarre find at a flea market. This connection is built on the simple things in life, like sharing a passion or working on something that matters to both of you. It’s the shared smiles and the teamwork that makes the dream work.
Juno in the 3rd House: Ever met someone and felt like you’ve known them forever? That’s Juno in the 3rd for you. It could be a friend of a friend, someone from the neighborhood, or that person you keep bumping into online because you laugh at the same memes. This could also be a childhood friend. It's the comfort of familiarity, the ease of a conversation that never ends. It’s like finding a missing piece you weren’t even aware you were looking for.
Juno in the 4th House: This is all about home, heart, and heritage. Imagine finding your soulmate at a family gathering or through a connection so deeply rooted in your past, it feels fated. It could be a cozy dinner, a traditional celebration, or through the meddling of your mom playing cupid. This soulmate brings a sense of belonging, a feeling of coming home, no matter where you are.
Juno in the 5th House: Think laughter, creativity, and a dash of spontaneity. Meeting your soulmate while you’re living your best life, maybe at a concert, an art exhibit, or while coaching little league. It’s those moments of pure joy and abandon, where you meet someone who makes your heart race faster than a rollercoaster ride. It’s about finding love in the midst of living passionately.
Juno in the 6th House: Here, love finds you in the midst of your daily grind. It could be that new colleague, someone you meet at a fitness class, or even a fellow volunteer. This is about finding someone who fits into your life like the perfect puzzle piece, making every day brighter and every routine special. It’s the beauty in the ordinary, the love that grows in shared routines and little acts of care.
Juno in the 7th House: Picture meeting your soulmate at a wedding, It's where you least expect it, in the midst of celebrating love, you find your own. It could be a plus-one that was meant to be your plus-one forever. This is about partnerships, the undeniable pull towards someone who complements you perfectly, in ways you hadn’t even dared to dream of. I sometimes find you may even find your soulmate through an ex partner with this placement.
Juno in the 8th House: This is deep, the kind of connection that happens in the quiet, unexpected moments. Maybe it’s someone you meet in a place where you both show your vulnerabilities, or perhaps during a time of transformation. You could be intoxicated or under the influence when you meet. It’s a soul-stirring, intense connection that feels predestined, a love that’s as profound as the ocean and just as mysterious.
Juno in the 9th House: Imagine crossing paths with your soulmate in a setting that screams adventure and growth. It could be a study abroad program, a spiritual journey, or just a random seminar that you both decided to attend on a whim. This is about finding someone who shares your thirst for knowledge, adventure, and the quest for meaning in life. It’s about expanding your horizons, together.
Juno in the 10th House: Here’s where your ambitions and your heart align. Meeting your soulmate in a context that’s all about achieving your life’s purpose, maybe at a conference, through a mentor, or while making your mark on the world. It’s about finding someone who not only shares your dreams but is ready to build an empire with you. This love story is about legacy, ambition, and a shared vision for the future.
Juno in the 11th House: This is the meet-cute you didn’t see coming. A friend’s party, a community event, or that random encounter at a party. It’s about connection, friendship, and shared ideals. Finding your soul mate here means finding someone who gets you on a level that's almost telepathic. It’s about shared laughs, mutual friends becoming mutual admirers, and feeling like you’ve found your tribe with this person by your side.
Juno in the 12th House: This is where souls connect on a celestial level. Imagine a tranquil setting, a spiritual retreat, or a place where you're seeking peace, and there they are. This connection is ethereal, almost like recognizing a soul from a past life. It’s a love that transcends time and space, wrapping you in a sense of calm and belonging that’s hard to put into words.

Do you have any suggestions for a two person letter writing games? I've seen a couple on itch but haven't ever tried one. One of my ttrpg friends moved states and we still play online but something physical and asynchronous could be fun
Oh heck yeah do I have recommendations for you.
If you want something setting-agnostic:
Ephemeron by ephemeron
It functions as a collaborative world building exercise between player/s and GM, in which letters and other ephemera are used to create and describe a world and a series of events that might transpire within it.
If you want something with romance (pining involved):
Empanel by Bogus Cheesecake
Empanel is a two-player narrative roleplaying game based around telegrams and queer yearning.
Beyond Reach by Annie Johnston-Glick
Beyond Reach is a two person play by post game about falling in love with someone unattainable to you. One player is a mech, the other their pilot.
If you want sci-fi generation ships:
Signal to Noise by LunarShadowDesigns (this is a personal favorite of mine)
One player takes on the role of the Explorer, one of the lucky few chosen to join the generation ship while the other takes on the role of the Earther, forced to stay behind as their companion departs the solar system.
The Wanderers by Adventure by Mail
YOU AND YOUR FRIEND wait to board two ARK-4 Civilian Class Shuttles charted for new colonies in the hinterlands of space.
If you want observers outside of time:
The Reaper's Almanac by Mitch Schiwal
The players will portray Reapers who write to one another after reaping a human in order to keep them alive in memory.
chronicle by A. Fell
The CHRONICLER documents a world, neither part of it nor detached from it. The WITNESSES find their artifacts some time later, and reflect, and remember.
if you want something specifically designed for messaging instead of mail:
When the Messages Began by Law of Names Media
You live in the dark. Or you did, until the computer came to life.
What's a Vaporwave? by fen slattery
One player is Casey, who kinda knows what vaporwave is. Another is Grandpa, who loves Casey and wants to understand their life. Played via text message.
and finally some miscellany:
A Response to the Esteemed Dr. Crackpot by Emily Jankowski
A game of academic squabbles for two or more players. Fight for your hypothesis in a series of responses published by one of the journals in your field. Defend your academic integrity at all costs. Everyone needs to know your rival is wrong.
Epistolary by En Sattaur
In Epistolary, the player characters work together to solve a mystery and prevent something terrible from happening.
Your Friend in Witchcraft by Kay Marlow Allen
One player will portray the Novice: you are new to witching; there are no other witches in your community who can advise you. The other player will portray the Expert: you're an old hand at witching, and have knowledge to share.
And if you need more to whet your appetite, you can check out the Step Up for the Postal Service game jam!

🪡2 for crying out loud. The staff at the hotel? Who's to say she didn't overhear them talk about their own hobbies? And if games were some of the few things Adrien could do, then heck yeah they'd be gaming online. Maybe even making online friends both in France and overseas (learning their languages even). I just want them to be more expansive with the canon characters hobbies. Like at least from the class. We know so little about them it drives me nuts and I suck at coming up with things ➡️
GOD THO

So judging from that eyepatch Kai has and since its premovie, I'm guessing Kai gets his eye scar from this au?
If so, NICE. I need to know how he got it >:)
RIGHT OKAY!!
so before i start going off about it, i need to mention one thing, namely the fact that this au contains a multitude of me and @shadesofvermillionvoid 's personal headcannons and such.
by that, one really important thing that plays a big part of this au (and most of our aus including the show rewrite we've been thinking about) is the idea that lloyd has 4 forms, his dragon form, his oni form (which was in my last post), his human form and his inhuman form (which is his true form)
i swear ill get to kai just bear with me this is important to how he got the scar believe it or not
now his dragon and oni forms aren't entirely relevant to this au, (his dragon form doesn't even appear, since he has not yet reached his full potential, heck he isnt even the green ninja yet, he doesnt even know that his friends ARE THE NINJA). his oni form does play a part but it doesn't appear in the canon of the au (even though we've discussed it)
these are the forms i'm gonna focus on right now
Tumblr media
lloyd's human form is, as you see up there, pretty much a disguise. his insides are still purple because this form only affects the outside.
one thing about it, is that he can only keep this human disguise in a healthy way up for about 4-5 hours before it starts to physically strain him and/or hurt him. keeping it up causes him to be really sleepy too, but he's learned to deal with that. (this is also important for a certain part of this au)
this form is the lloyd everyone knows and hates loves! he has it at school, in town, basically everywhere outside.
lloyd's inhuman form is what lloyd really looks like! very few people know of this form, as in: koko, garm, wu and the ninja squad.
he is VERY adamant about keeping this from under wraps, as he doesn't want to draw even more negative attention to himself and the people around him. he only looks like this when he's at home or at any of the ninja's homes, despite being more physically comfortable in it. he is extremely careful about this form not being revealed to the general public.
OKAY, YOU GOT ALL THAT? GOOD!
NOW TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!
so, lloyd got dumped by harumi, and he got dumped HARD. as in, PUBLICALLY DUMPED IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
harumi was only really using lloyd and didn't really actually love him, of course, she just wanted to toy with him. she was using garmadon's son for her own gain and she treated him like garbage during their relationship, and lloyd not knowing how all this stuff works just kind of...ate it all up like it was normal. kai noticed all of this but couldn't do much but to stare and be worried from the sidelines.
lloyd was shattered after the breakup, he'd become so attached to harumi and her toxic behaviors that even if he KNEW it was all wrong and twisted, he still wanted to go back, he still longed to be with her because it was something different. it took kai and the squad a long time to help lloyd accept that it was not something healthy, and even then he still gets very upset whenever harumi is mentioned around him. she traumatized him b a d. and thats not even the worst of it.
anyway! so harumi broke up with lloyd, but before this, lloyd decided it was a good time (since they'd been together for a few weeks already) to show harumi.. well...himself! he showed her his true form, thinking that he could trust her not to tell anybody else about it.
yeah... that didnt go well.
what harumi did, is that she managed to snap a blurry picture of lloyd in his true form, albeit blurry. and she decided to... post it online a few days after the breakup took place
lloyd, upon seeing this picture that harumi had just posted during class, gets up and BOOKS it to the school bathroom, to hide and... you know...cry.
kai sees harumi snickering, and he decides to excuse himself and follow lloyd, in hopes of comforting him. he's his best friend and older brother figure after all.
while on his way to the bathroom, he sees the chen cheerleader, lloyd's number one bully and kai's number one most hated person ever. chen also left class and is...wait he's heading to the bathroom.
kai knows that chen saw the picture and wants to hurt lloyd because of it, and he's NOT going to let that happen. before chen can open the door kai TACKLES him, and a fight ensues in which chen goes on about how lloyd is just a monster in disguise, and that he's doing everyone a favor.
chen. pulls out a pocket knife during this fight. he slashes at kai a few times but kai being a ninja and all knows how to dodge.
during this fight, chen manages to actually get in the boys bathroom where lloyd is, and blocks the entrance so kai can't come in. chen starts hurting lloyd, putting his head in the toilet, pinning him to the wall and trying to threaten him with the knife, trying to force that form in the picture out of lloyd. of course he isnt budging, but he's also not fighting back, lloyd never fights back in these situations.
meanwhile, kai is DESPERATE to open the fucking door, he is FREAKING OUT hes trying to hit it, to throw himself into it but nothing. the bell had rung by this point and a crowd started to gather.
the other ninja make their way to the commotion, and stare for a few seconds before kai notices them and he's like "DONT JUST FUCKING STAND THERE, HELP ME!"
cole makes kai get out of the way and breaks the door open. kai runs in to chen with the knife an inch close to lloyd's throat. he tackles chen and pins him to the wall, but chen manages to slash at kai, hitting his eye. and that's the scar! he didnt actually damage kai's eye that much, mostly scarred around it.
some teachers come in and break everything off. kai and lloyd are taken to the nurse and later kai and chen are taken to the principal's office, where chen twists the story, making kai seem like the bad guy.
chen gets off with a slap on the wrist, he gets his parents called to school. and kai gets off with a week suspension.
and lloyd...
well...lloyd's mental health... somehow gets... even worse
worse enough for him to do something *really* stupid
maybe @shadesofvermillionvoid can tell you what happens next, so go ask em abt this au too dont be shy!!! :D
and thanks if you read all that KJDWKKWD I TRIED MY BEST TO MAKE IT MAKE SENSE BUT IM HORRIBLE AT EXPLAINING
Tumblr media
have some pre-movie au kais :)

Twitter rightoid poltard better keep my country out of their fricking misinforming mouth
Tumblr media
"they voted for this" what is this idiot talking about? People are looting because a guy DIED. The police lied on the report, and since everything got filmed, truth eventually came out (the kid was not armed, and the policeman shot at close range). It's getting so bad than even Emmanuel Macron (France president) who usually ALWAYS sides with the police when this type of incident happens, said what happened what "unexcusable". That policeman is currently in 'preventive prison' (sorry idk the term in English lol) so he definitely fucked up big time.
This shit isn't some little LeFtiSt tantrum. Those rightoid online journalists are LYING.
What's happening is more of a social justice phenomenon that's pretty irrelevant to left vs right politics. And social justice isn't the monopoly of left aligned politics (see the Freedom Convoy movement)
"police are unable to control the migrant and left wing riots" those riots are perpetuated by french CITIZENS. They are young people from very low social classes parked in secluded suburbs. Statistics show that this social class is one of the LESS politically involved (they don't vote) so lumping them into "left wing" is a flat out lie. If they don't vote and aren't involved into politics how can they be remotely be affiliated to left or right? Stop being stupid, Amy.
"the french media have surrendered" what the heck is she talking about?? French medias are covering this 24/7. They are literally pulling out NUMBERS of burned car/train/ buildings, AND how many looters have been arrested (who are by THOUSANDS)
Why is she literally making shit up to sound dramatic? Is she stupid???
Oh and look at the Islam shoe horning here when this incident has NOTHING to do with Islam. We don't even know whether the kid was Muslim... Those looting are more of a social justice movement, not religious. No islamist movement ever looted cities.
and theeeeere go Elon Musk attention seeking ass sliding into the convo. First of all, non Europeans need to stop lumping"Europe" like it was a monolith. European countries still have very different policies when it comes to gun carrying, so brushing the whole continent à la whether "Europeans need better gun access" is stupid.
And yeah, Elon : unlike what stupid USAmericans gun sexuals say, gun ownership is legal in France. It's just that culturally we aren't fond of gun ownership. Even if there was a policy to ease up gun access, those who are already owning those (illegal) guns -and are french, not immigrants- would be the first to jump on the opportunity to level up their artillery legally, so the poltards foreigners who know NOTHING about France social climate acting like gun carrying like the crux of social peace are stupid. If anything, ut's just going to accelerate the process of civil war that those demons are lowkey summoning.

What's "Hunter's ed"? Is it literally just school classes dedicated to hunting?
Kinda yeah? Class instead of classes though. I took it through public school as a kid when i was uhh 8 or 9 i think, but most of it can be done online these days, except for the final field day bit.
Hunters Education (as i remember it) teaches stuff like:
firearms safety (never point it at a person, keep the chamber empty, triple check it's empty, make sure to carry it so it doesn't point at anything you don't want to shoot, TEST TO MAKE SURE ITS EMPTY by pointing it somewhere safe like a soft earth ground or thick wood and pulling the trigger before you leave the gun alone or store it or clean it, ect)
shooting safety (remember if you miss the bullet keeps going, check what's behind or around the thing you're aiming at, try to find a natural backstop like a hill or thick deep tree coverage or make sure you have a long clear line of sight, remember the bullet drops over long distance shots, remember to sight in your scopes before hunting if you use them)
navigation in the wilderness using map and compass (bane of my fucking existence)
how to gut and harvest the animal if you get one (blegh to be honest) (for the love of heck make SURE your knife is sharp and hopefully has a drop point and also a small finger guard things get slippery quick) (make a gut pile some ways away so other creatures can have it and not bother you) (mom also told me to put a sprig of a branch in the animal's mouth as a thanks and be nice to the body but that's not in hunter's ed i don't think)
awareness of land, conservation, and hunting laws (basically just hey remember you can't shoot whatever you want whenever you want and even if you could you shouldn't bc your hunting impacts the population numbers and heath so if you wanna get something next year to eat don't shoot the females with babies this year, also check your hunting area and get your hunting tags) (they don't talk about how most of the hunters we get out here aren't locals but drive in with huge trucks and multiple four-wheelers and camp out here looking for fun and a big rack, while my sister goes out on foot with her teen son hoping to get ANYTHING so we have meat in the winter) (they don't talk about how people want nice healthy animals and take those out of the population while wolves go for the sick, the unprotected young, the old, the injured, and take THOSE out of the population instead) (they don't talk about how many moose die from getting hit by fucking cars on the highways)
Aaaaaaand here is how to actually fire a gun (field day) (hateful and loud) (not actually a whole day) (spent mine with my hands over my ears bc i was used to just using a little .22 rifle for grouse and it's sooooo different when you know when the shot will come VS having it come cracking out of nowhere)
You need the hunters ed certificate before you can hunt in some units (areas) of Alaska (if your were born after a certain time) or if you're under 18 and hunting without adult supervision (reason why i took it) but i think the main point was to stop people accidentally shooting themselves or friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh hey they have a website for it actually. here is Hunter Education

------------
Character/s: Levi Ackerman
Prompt: "Haha.. yeah that's my childhood best friend-.."
Headcanon: Modern AU + School AU + pandemic covid... yay.. + location: the Philippines~ || Female Y/n
Small note: Got this idea from school~ speakin of which hope you folks doing alright! ^^
-------------
(Y/n) was just mindlessly gazing out the window, being in the back of the class and all- not that it was a problem much seeing as she was lucky enough to still be next to the window since she had quite the habit of looking out of it.
Totally not because she felt like a main character pft-.. totally not... ok fine maybe just a bit- but come on! Let a girl dream.
It was the first day of school again- Monday, yeah everyone loves Monday alright aha.. hah.. yay..
Anyways, it was going to be a tiring day once again for her and her classmates. And from the looks of it, it seemed everyone was still tired like very tired. Seeing the fact as they did have quite the busy few weeks.
It was face to face again, and yes.. the pandemic was still there which sucked but honestly- (Y/n) definitely prefers online class cause come on man. There was no need to wake up super early or have the need to actually be up on time so that the bus won't leave you and yada-yada.
The only good part about f2f is probably cause she sees her friends.. either way it still sucks and she's still tired as heck.
------
After the usual morning routine her class usually does, every morning, hence the name. Before they could start getting ready or for others sit back down to listen to the reminders their advisor had to tell them.
The door to the class suddenly opened, revealing a male, one with black-hair, which seemed to be in an undercut style.. with bangs in front..? Steal-grey, bluish eyes and their usual uniform for males.
Which consists of the simple, white button up, blue plants and ID oh yeah wait plus mask cause again. Pandemic haha.
Everyone's attention seemed to have moved onto the newly arrived male, and as he walked in it seemed there were only a few who didn't care for whoever entered and just minded their business. (Y/n) being one of the few of course. As their advisor, Miss Alex, went over to the new male, everyone watched curious as they started to introduce the new kid.
"Everyone, this is your new classmate. Yes, they may have gotten here a little late but that doesn't mean you guys should be mean to him alright? Now, mister Ackerman go on ahead and introduce yourself please."
A sigh came from the male, but with a reluctant nod. They started to introduce themselves, first with a bow though before they start talking.
"Good morning classmates, good morning Miss Alex. My name is Levi Elijah Ackerman. 15 years old. I am from Tokyo, Japan and moved here to the Philippines when I was 7 to study here. As well as because my Mother decided to live here, because most of her relatives migrated here from Japan."
A surprisingly deep voice had started to talk, and well.. for a guy who's 15 and is in grade what.. 9. That was pretty deep, but it was strange since our dear (Y/n) seems to recognize that voice.. and well it was only when they finally decided to look at who was talking.
Did they catch the male's eyes and figured out who this new kid is.
"It's nice to meet you all."
Hah.. Levi freaking Ackerman, her best friend since she was 6 was here... no wonder her mom seemed so excited before she left for school. Levi was- or well apparently seemed to have moved from his old school to hers.
Greetings from her other classmates was heard, to answer to Levi's and well.. all (Y/n) could focus on now was the eyes of her male childhood best friend.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you Levi. But before I assign you to your seat, I must ask since you said you've been here in the Philippines since you were 7 correct? Just a curious question, do you perhaps know anybody here so I can assign them to help you around?"
And this guy decided to point at (Y/n).. throwing her off the bus immediately.
"I know her miss, have known her since I was 7 actually so.. can I get her to be my guide?"
This guy...
"Of course! Do you mind miss (L/n)?"
Smiling despite it not being seen through the mask she just nodded.
"Yeah.. I don't mind, I'll just show you around later L..."
She could see and feel them smirking.. this little-
"Alright then, show me around later (N/n)"
And here comes the questions.. of course.... great
"YOU KNOW HIM (Y/N)?!?!?!?!?!?!"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Haha.. yeah that's my childhood best friend-.."
"WHAT?!?!"
Levi Ackerman, (Y/n) loves this guy -platonically of course.. pft... yeah..- but they were dead meat later.
------
Note: Ima rewrite this when I can- but for now enjoy this somewhat crack hc fic of Levi being your childhood bff and letting your entire class know~
Again a bit self-indulgent for me but hope you lil birds still enjoy~

Van Ink Za Tatsu No Harem || A funny drabble
A funny drabble present I mentioned to my friend @the-silver-peahen-residence and my muses discussing the potiental of harem. 
@the-silver-peahen-residence’s cast
Yuuka ( Her OC and The Dark Eclipse nightshades )
Rex and his fraction ( Season Demon Warriors )
Jinx and The Cursed Vixens
----
Deamon-Mun ( Me! )
My muses ( The entire DBT and Lupins and Anthem )
----- Brief Summary ------
Things went back to crazy normal at New York after their crazy adventures in Japan.
Navarro is starting to notice things and he doesn't like it. Ever since the class A-1 came back for a study aboard. Along with some people like the weretiger of the ADA and Phantom Thieves. Now more people are coming. Things are making him paranoid and got the team without Ink knowing to discuss. What kind of shenanigans  would ensue???
-------
Navarro is starting to notice things and he doesn't like it. Ever since the class A-1 came back for a study aboard. Along with some people like the weretiger of the ADA and Phantom Theives. Now more people are coming.
Ever since the haunting incident in Tama, Japan. Rin is sent to learn about demons in North America and for some reason, New York City checks all the list for paranormal activity. Taz is still in Japan with Yuji Itadori and his friends looking after her but keeps in contact with Ink and the rest of the team. He heard that Yuji and his friends would come and visit. 
Still....he notices that the boys were getting close with Ink much to his liking.  Ink comes back with a smile and is telling him what she did with them. It went something like this......
"Hi Navarro, me and Midoriya were training and went out for some pizza." Ink smiled. Midoriya is that goody two-shoes hero and always writing quirks and analysis plus he is helping Ink understand her quirk since it's evolving. So he understood.
The next day....
"Hi Navarro, I helping Atsushi with his powers. We're training and we stop some bad guys and went out for some preztel hot dog rolls." The weretiger of Armed Detective Agency. He seems nice and always protect Ink looking up to her. Plus despite being hesitant, he doesn't back down.
Still.....Navarro did apologize to Atsushi for leaving him behind during the whole fiscao of not wanting getting treatment from that crazy doctor, Dr. Yasano. 
The next day after that.....
"Hi Navarro, me and Joker change someone's heart today! It was awesome and went out to get some burgers." Joker aka Ren aka the leader of the Phantom thrives. Seems okay but he looks like a smart ass but pretty smart and clever plus he's the leader, he knows what the heck he's doing. He has that look in his eyes. He has that mysterious thief vibe going for him
Then the next day after that....
"Hi Navarro, me and Rin beat a demon today and went out for buffalo wings!" Rin, the guy with the devil tail ( that looks of his and has blue flames ad his power. Guy has this demon vibe going on which is pretty damn ironic and is pretty damn confident with that sword of his.
And the next day after that....
"Hi Navarro, me and Itadori talked about curses and all that stuff then we played video games together online.." Yuji Itadori is that pink haired guy who is pretty strong and heard he has some kind of dual personality named Sukana yeah...fuck no..his name is freaking Voldermort now. Fuck him. He doesn’t want to remember his cursed spirt ass.  Still...despite all that, Yuji takes good care of Taz so he isn’t too concerened.
And finally.....a week after that.
"Hi Navarro. I saw Bakugo today and we took down some robbers and then we went out for some tacos-!"
Okay...what the actual living fuck?!
Navarro noticed the gifts that they brought her too! Support gear from Midoriya, chocolates from Atsushi, flowers from Joker, a plushie from Rin, Japanese treats from Itadori and Jesus christ...even Bakugo brought her something! What was it? A new jacket?!
Like what the fuck?!
And so Navarro starts an emergency meeting with the team without Ink present. Ink is off with Midoriya again. His team noticed Ink is not present so they ask Navarro what's going on.
"It's those guys...." He began.
"Those guys?" Shdwkyz raised a eyebrow.
"Those guys from Japan!"
"What do you mean, Navarro?" Hellmare looks concerned.
"Does anyone notice how close they're getting to Ink?" Navarro asked the team seriously. The team became confused.
"You know?! Midoriya, Atsushi, Joker aka Ren, Rin, Itadori and even freaking Baka-ass." Navarro named the list of people. 
"You mean Bakugo?" Rust asked.
"Who else did I mean?" Navarro growled.
"Yes well....I think you're paranoid....again." Shdwkyz sighed. Navarro snaps, "I'm not paranoid! Does anybody see the gifts she got from them?!"
"You mean...the support gear that Ink got from Midoriya?" Rust said. "He says that it helps with her quirk and her legs. Ain't nothin wrong with that."The blond said.
"Okay! What about the chocolates from Atsushi?!"
"Atsushi was undecided where to eat so Ink took him to a soul food restaurant. Fin was there. He wanted to thank her so he brought her chocolate cupcakes." Jaron answered.
"With sprinkles that look like hearts!" Navarro yelled. "And don't let me get started with Joker. He got her freaking flowers!"
"Yes that is true. I heard from Ink that they got it as a treasure from their mission and he gave it to her." Oblivion recalled.
"She ask me on how to take care of it." Ophelia added with a smile.  
"Okay, okay, okay! How about the plushie from Rin?"
"Ink told me that after defeating a demon, Rin bought her a plushie since she like it from the store and Rin wanted to buy it for her because she helped him out.' Hellmare smiled. "It looks like a cute dinosaur."
"Itadori?"
"Me and Ink were playing with Itadori and Taz. Megumi was talking to her on the phone though and sending her stuff.." Gerald smiled. Wait Megumi was the one?! That spiky moody sorcerer?! Fucking hell. But it makes sense, Megumi was with her when dealing with Kinie Ger and Sukana-You Know Who. Navarro cursed in his head. At least Yuji is not the one. Hopefully!
"And what about Bakugo?! He brought her a jacket!"
"Well actually...her jacket is ripped so Bakugo took her jacket and took it to his classmate Momo that creates the same thing since she has a quirk called Creation that makes things and made Ink's jacket brand new.." Maggie explained.
"What are you trying to say here?" Asked Shdwkyz, annoyed wanting to get to the point. 
"All of them are in freaking into Ink! They all like her! That's what going on! Even Jinx said so!!" Navarro yelled. The team went silent as they look dumbfounded before thinking about it.
"Oooooooh..." The team went as they nod their heads, now seeing his concern.
"I think that's wonderful. It means they are in love with her." Ophelia smiled.
"Hell no, Ophelia! That's not wonderful!" Navarro said. "We need to do something about this!" He said urgently. 
"Like what?" Fosh asked.
"We gotta do something! We need information on them and protect her-"
"Navarro. Ink can take care of herself." Shdwkyz said. "Now you're being paranoid..."
"Are you nuts?" Navarro said. "Ink doesn't look both ways when she fights especially crossing the street and she always charges headfirst" 
"True, true, true." The team agreed/
“And she risks her life for everyone even though we didn’t ask her to or we tried to stop her!” Navarro points. Everyone recalling the events with Yokohoma, Tokyo and the haunting. 
“True, true, true.” The DBT agrees that their own leader puts her life on the line, over and over again for everyone’s sake even if they’re not friends. 
“And! Sometimes....she is oblivious to this kind of thing! Did you ever see Ink date someone?!” Navarro said.
“True, true, true.” The fraction said, seeing Navarro’s point.
"Is Ink even aware of their feelings?" Hellmare asked.
"Probably not." Jaron said. "She sees everyone as friends. I don't think she is ever been in a dating relationship like Navarro said.."
"She must be oblivious then." Said Oblivion.
And there is one person who isn't in the team but is invited. Yuuka, leader of the The Dark Eclipse Nightshades. Because Navarro asks her as witness and needs her opinion on this. After all, Yuuka was telling what Midoriya is doing with Ink which prompt the short teen dragging her into this ‘emergency’ meeting.
Yuuka hearing this made her blink. The people that Ink met  all fell in love with her? Honestly, it made a lot of sense and given her track record. She did see Midoriya time to time and whenever he's with Ink. She never seen him so happy being with her as she listen to his quirk analysis and show his notebook to her especially when he mutters a lot. Ink thinks she got some of his muttering which is amazing to say the least. 
Plus when Navarro mention Bakugo. She never took him for that kind of guy. He's always an ass and calls everyone extra except for Midoriya and Shoto. But to heard that Bakugo got her a new jacket? Ink's jacket went through a lot of fights and hearing Momo made the same jacket because Bakugo asked her using her Creation quirk. She wonders who else in Class A-1 falls in love with her. It’s better to not let Navarro know about that either.
"Yuuka!" Navarro calls her name.
"Uh yes?" Yuuka said, blinking. Getting back to the meeting as all eyes were looking at her.
"Did everything I said so far is true?!" Navarro asked.
"Uh um.... I don't know about the rest but I did see Midoriya and he seems very happy being with her. But I never took Bakugo doing something like that but..." Now she recalls, him looking at her when she beat up those bad guys with him. That gaze.
"See?!" Navarro proves his point.
"And Ink might not notice...." Yuuka sweatshop a little. "But if it's true...I wonder which one she will pick. Did any of them confess yet?"
Now that’s a good question. Now the better question is Ink’s response. 
"I don't know man." Rust said leading against the chair. "She might not want to hurt anyone's feelings."
"But it's wrong to string them along though but what if Oblivion says is true. She might be oblivious to their advances. Knowing Ink, it must be." Ophelia said, now feeling a concerned about her and the boys.
"Or......the next good thing will happened is that Ink might have a harem." Oblivon said. Everyone paused for a moment when Oblivion said that. They all look at her. 
"A what?" Navarro questioned for Oblivion to repeat. Yuuka sweatshops the side of her head. Uh-oh. Because she knew where Oblivion is going with this. Shdwkyz had to groan mentally.
"It's like a trope in anime where the girls in a group all like the same guy so they formed a harem since everyone loves the same person and wants to protect this person. Sometimes they fight over the guy but ends up working together to protect him. It's like the same thing here. The boys like Ink so much they might formed a harem to protect. Along the way, the relationship goes to the next level and well, that happens."
Yuuka and Shdwkyz collectively sigh mentally when Oblivion explained the idea. Fosh had to look it up and went 'Oh.' which prompts Rust to look over and blinks, covering his mouth. Hellmare has to cover her mouth to stifle. Jaron shakes his head. Maggie just stares. Ophelia’s cheeks blushed hearing this. Gerald didn’t get it but it sounds like it’s a good thing!  All while Oblivion explains the concept of a harem. Shdwkyz and Yuuka looks over to Navarro as Oblivion explains. The way Oblviion explained it so casually didn't help either.
Navarro went to confusion to shock to horrified to anger hearing this. 
“Oh wow! So Ink is the hero of the party in the harem, right?!” Gerald said since he read a lot of manga after Japan. “That means Ink has a huge fan club! Even the heroes love her!” Gerald said, happy for Ink.
“Uhhh.....” Yuuki doesn’t know how to break this down for Gerald since he’s so innocent. Bless him! 
“Then...when they go to next level, does that mean they’re going to get married and have ki-” But Fosh didn’t get a word in when Navarro loses it shutting him up. “Fosh...I swear to god...if you finish that damn sentence and I will toss your computer out the window.” 
“Eek!” Fosh shuts up. 
Then Rust had this shit-eating grin, knowing what Navarro is mad about so he’s going to tease him for the laughs....”What’s wrong, Navarro? You’re making it  sound like they're going to have s-”  He didn’t finish his own sentence either as Navarro shouts bloody murder making his team startled while Rust is snickering non-stop. 
"NOOOOOO! FUUUUUCK NO!” Navarro throws the plastic bottle at the wall, “ GODDAMNIT NO! HELL NO! NO, NO, NO,. GOD NOOOOO!" Navarro yelled, now imagining it in his head! Slamming his hands on the table. “Those fuckers! Harem my ass!” Navarro shouted. 
Yep. Navarro is mad now. Shdwkyz has no idea why would Oblivion informed him something about that and Rust adding fuel into the fire. 
“It isn’t that bad. I mean-" Oblivion is cut off as Navarro covers his ears.
“FUCK THAT, OBLIVION!” Navarro said. “DAMNIT! WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!”
“Are you sure this has nothing to do with happened at ADA when you ditched almost everyone when it came to Yasano’s treatment and they got their revenge on you?” Shdwkyz reminds him. 
“NO! What the hell am I getting mad at them for that?! It’s either me or them.” Navarro retorted.
“Ugh.....” Fosh groaned, remembering that event.
“We need to call Rex right now!! Call the Season Demon Warriors!” Navarro said. 
“Rex?” Maggie blinked.
"Uh...what for?" Jaron asked. 
"Well Rex has girls in his fraction, shit...that's a harem like Oblivion said, right?! He knows what those guys feel! We need to ask him!" Navarro points out. Everyone looks at Navarro like he lost his mind. 
"Navarro....now you're being an idiot." Shdkwyz made a face while Maggie nodding in agreement.
“OH! I’m an idiot?!” Navarro said. “You know what?! Let’s ask the members of his group! Hell! Let’s ask Rex. For fuck’s sake, his members are all girls, call him Sensei and they’re named after the four fucking seasons except him! We need to ask him about this harem shit and about the guys that Ink’s with!”
Shdwkyz sighs, knowing this is not going to be good.
------ Hours later  at Greenwich Village in Rex’s house ------
Rex stares at Shdwkyz his blind white eyes, setting his tea cup down, hoping he misheard what Shdwkyz said. 
“I...beg your pardon?” He said after hearing the situation from Shdwkyz. 
“Yes...I know.” Shdwkyz sips cherry blossom tea thanks to Spring’s couresty. She is surprised to hear this. “Thanks.” Shdwkyz tells her to which Spring smiles kindly at him.
Shdwkyz sighs deeply after he explained the situation to Rex about it. Shdwkyz volutneers to meet with Rex since he knows Navarro is going to say the wrong thing and the members of the Season Demon Warriors will beat him and throw his sorry ass out. 
He visited Rex at his Japanese themed home in Greenwich Village “Yeah I know...” He doesn’t want to mention that to him but he knows Rex is very reasonable and can clear the air, hoping to get some answers around here. 
“Well...I don’t know what Navarro is assuming but....I understand Navarro’s concerns regarding Ink and the boys from Japan she hangs out with. This reminds of this boy named Rin. He has a flaming katana that is of blue flames, similar to Ink’s greatsword and I must say he’s strong.” Rex hums. “I read his energy and he does admire Ink in a way since they’re so alike in terms of their flames and origins.” Rex said. “But...such admiration can turn into love.”
“Great....” Shdwkyz said.
---------- At Central Park -----------
“C’mon, Breezy! You gotta tell me what’s going on! You said Ink and Midoriya were here like a few days ago!”
“Of course, I’m going to tell you!” Breezy said. “But I need to know why is that so important, Rust!” Breezy said, crossing her arms with a pout. Rust sighed. “Well...Navarro heard it from Jinx and saying something that he likes her and so is Bakugo.” 
Breezy blinks. “Wait? Jinx said that? I don’t think she say that. Navarro did come over and asks if UA students came over. They did for patrols but Jinx, Ink and Midoriya were training together!” 
Oh....that’s a false alarm then.
“I don’t know why is it so important though.” Breezy said. Rust sighs, “Okay....just promise me, ya don’t tell anyone, okay? Ya didn’t hear it from me, okay?” And so Rust tells Breezy the reason for this making Breezy blinked before she laughs, “That’s what Navarro is worried about?! Echo is going to have a field day if she heard that!” 
 “I just.....can’t imagine that Ink has a harem.” Breezy giggles. “Not only Midoriya is in it but there are others too?!” 
Rust nods, “Yep!”
“Well Jinx did said that Midoriya’s face turn red for some reason when he caught her in his arms when trying to catch some villians....some purse snatchers. Jinx beat them up while Midoriya helps her ou..” Breezy chuckles. 
Melinda comes over with Jaron as Jaron tells her what’s going on as well while they’re taking a stroll in Central Park together. 
“Wait....really? I mean....it makes sense but not really sense, Jaron. Don’t you think Navarro is being....well....paranoid?” Melinda asked as she is holding hands with Jaron. Jaron sighs, “That’s what Shdwkyz said and you know him. Navarro is very protective of Ink. Despite the age difference, Navarro is more mature and acts like a concerned big brother.”
“Yes....I can see that.” Melinda nods her head. 
“Not only that, we should ask Rex because Navarro thinks he has a harem since his fraction is full of girls.” Jaron said.
Melinda shakes her head, “Oh dear..” But she can’t help but chuckles at this. 
------- Tribeca at Kali’s penthouse -------
“Yuuka....I’m sorry but what the hell?!” Kali said. Yuuka nods her head as that explanation sounds crazy when she says it while Luna just looks to be in disbelief. Yuuka and Kali are fast friends and Kali always welcome Yuuka since she is training Yuuka and respects her as a fellow leader. Still....Kali had this look as she can’t believe this! At all.
“You’re telling me. Ink.” Kali said this slowly, making sure she gets this, “That dumbass reckless Ink has boys chasing after her? Not just typical boys. But the two pro-heroes, an infamous phantom thief, a freaking weretiger detective, a demonic exorcist and...what a freakin curse wizard?!” 
“A Jujustu sorcerer.” Oblivion corrects her. 
“Yeah, okay! And you’re telling me!” Kali takes a deep breath, “And they’re handsome and strong as hell and she doesn’t fucking notice?!” Kali said. She remembers Midoriya and Bakugo. She does remember Atsushi and Joker since they came over to the Training Regiment. But not the other two new faces. 
“I just think Navarro is blowing this out of proportion. You know how he is, Kali!” Yuuka explains, not wanting to turn this situation into a messy love triangle. “I just want to disprove this so Navarro has nothing to worry about it.”
Luna, her second-in-command of Yuuka’s c the rolls her eyes, “If you ask me, it sounds paranioa!” 
Oblivion is with them, “Hmph.” 
“Well! I wouldn’t be fucking surprised if Ink doesn’t noticed! I never seen her date! EVER!” Kali said. “I went out a few dates myself and whenever Ink sees me on a date, she asks if this is my friend and that’s it!” Kali said. “I told her that we’re dating and Ink looks at me like she doesn’t know what that it is!”
Well..... Yuuka has no idea what to say to that.
“It’s like dating is a foreign freaking concept to her!” Kali said. “My god, and these boys got her things after helping them out?! She doesn’t get the hint?! EVEN THE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH THE HEART SPRINKLES ON IT?!” 
“Urmm...I wasn’t sure if it’s true or not.” Yuuka said. Luna can’t help snicker a little.
“She has this and I’m stuck with catfishes from the dating apps!! THAT’S NOT  FAIR!” Kali yelled to which Welsey pats her on the shoulder while Zed and Sara who is snickering in the background while Beranard shakes his head.
Yuuka sweatdrops, wondering if this mission is a good idea.
------------- Harlem -----------
“Atsushi with Ink?” Fin said as he stops the jukebox, “Yeah! I seen him! I was helping him with his training when it comes transforming between were and fully tiger.” Fin tells Hellmare and Maggie. 
“After training, Atsushi wants a place to eat so I recommend him going to get soul food. For some reason, he ended up getting lost and Ink found him then she helps him. Both of them spend eating lunch together.” 
“Did Atsushi buy her anything?” Hellmare said. 
“Well....after that, there was a bakery right across the street. I was there to pick up a cake order and I saw Atsushi got her cupcakes, ya know what I mean? It’s the good kind. Wondering he got it because of heart-shaped sprinkles. Ink does love the art of cakes.”
“I see....” Hellmare said while Maggie is slumping his shoulders. 
--------- Back at the DBT. A day later ------------
A meeting is now being held without Ink again. 
“I don’t know, man. I don’t think Navarro is not too far off with this one.” Said Jaron. 
Shdwkyz groans, “To be honest, this is all what Gerald said. Ink’s fan club!”
“Fan clubs are cool!” Gerald grinned. 
“Kali is pissed off....as usual. No...she’s really pissed.” Oblivion said. “She got jealous and rant her head off.” 
“Wait....you told her??!” Shdwkyz looks at Yuuka. 
“Well...Oblivion said it!” Yuuka said. 
“I think this might be misunderstanding but I don’t know how we can convince Navarro to rest easy.” Hellmare sighed. 
Then a door is slammed open revealing Navarro whose is a ticked off and a nervous Fosh who shows a picture of a blond with red eyes and sharp teeth to the team. He has a plaid white shirt and he looks to be hanging out with Ink as they are laughing and talking. 
 Seriously....where the hell did Navarro get this photo? Was he spying her?! This is taking too far....
 And he’s not Bakugo this time. It’s a completely new face that nobody has seen before. “Okay.....” Navarro takes a deep breath and yells, 
“WHO THE FUCK IS DENJI?!” Navarro shouted.
This theory has now becoming a damn sitcom of hilarious proportions. Now they need to find out whose this new face is.

I'm not focusing on my exams but this just came up to me I should really focus but I cant 🤠
Summary - in the middle of a class discussion you see yourself wandering half listen to your teacher while you got curious of the new student (Xiao), luckily you being the editor still need to follow up the parts of the project your teacher assigned the whole ass class. You decided to chat him regarding that.
Theme - modern au,highschool au, Xiao x reader, Ciao being the quiet n mysterious classmate, online classes, crakfic with fluff???, not proofread, reader is based of myself in class, def curses becos of me🧚‍♀️
Part |
Chat in class
Feeling your spine is gonna fail you any moment, shuffling in your seat while you tried– well trying to listen to your teacher discussing about about some ancient empire that was somewhere in your book, staring blankly at your screen looking at the presentation projected, 'this is recorded anyways, I could still refer to the book if anything' averting your eyes from the screen decided to look at your window spacing out on whatever you were thinking, jolting,
"Oh shit– the project that was supposed to be dont next week"
Wow you almost forgot about that. Sighing, looking the the list of names of your classmates skipping the 'have passed' part and straightly going to the 'have not passed/missing parts' part, muttering the names til you awkward looked at a specific name, Xiao. Oh yeah you definitely didn't forgot you had a new classmates that had been here since like a few fucking months ago, yep. Well thats just disappointing, and knowing– well not knowing him that much you didn't know how to follow up his parts for the project he doesn't even chat in the main gc of your class, so how tf are you gonna chat him?
After having an internal crisis, debating on what to do, getting startled when your teacher calls up random names in her discussion and your name was called, well that a lovely surprise indeed. After that scare of your dear teacher, looking at the participants, maximising the participants screens scanning for a certain loner in the meeting.
"Where in the fuckery is this boy" repeatedly looking through the frames trying to find Xiao, your patience was ironic thin but somehow you managed to be patient with this– oh he's off cam. Well that explains I can't see him or his forhead to be specific. Sighing contently, finally can remind hin of his part(s).
Me to Xiao:
Hi Xiao I'll remind you about your parts for the project and if theres any problem for your parts just chat me and send your parts to my email thank you:)
And you closed the chat box,
"O archon I have lost my mind that was horrible as fuck the heck" you inwardly cussing your self for that really awkward and formal message, looking back at your screen, still your teacher discussing, now looking at the participants and oh– well Xiao decided to turn on his cam with his furrowed brows and eyes that was visible, "well I guess he doesn't like people? Wait– oh,, hes reading my message" blinking a few times, an awkward smile plastered on your face waiting for his reply, thank archons you were off cam.
Xiao to you:
Yes, I'm still working on it. I saw it on the gc.
Me to Xiao:
Ohhh I see please do it immediately if you have time
Xiao to you:
Ok.
Staring blankly at the chat box, 'Well.. It could've have been worse that this' smiling very unsure what to do at this point.
Omfg I cant with curses in this apologise for that but I finally finished this- probably gonna make another part idk yet but probably yeah I would

Oooh so you finished MHA? Nice! I personally believe that, despite some complaints here and there, the story has been consistently good since the beginning of the war arc. But I was wondering, what would you say are some of the weaker parts in the story so far?
SPOILERS FOLLOW THE MHA MANGA. SPOILERS FOLLOW THE MHA MANGA. SPOILERS FOLLOW THE MHA MANGA.
You specify the story, but I do want to say that I think the biggest flaw of the manga is that the art isn't always readily discernible in action sequences. So I'm definitely looking forward to the anime adaptions of all this stuff.
But yeah, I was honestly shocked the first time I saw Online People saying that MHA is bad now. I feel like the War Arc and beyond has been paying off everything that's been set up in great ways. I have no idea what people were expecting or wanting that they're not getting.
However, I think I'd have to say the weakest part is the 'Star and Stripe' arc. The character herself was too out-of-nowhere, especially considering her power level. (Her quirk seems limitlessly OP to me, but maybe I misunderstood something that keeps her from applying just a little cleverness to solve every problem in the world forever.) And the arc accomplishes its objectives in a very awkward manner- it explains why the rest of the world isn't getting involved in a world-class threat so that the story can continue to focus on the Japanese heroes we've been getting to know (the third movie just shrugged its shoulders at this concern XD), and it depowers All For One so that he can plausibly be beaten despite everything going according to his plan up to that point. I feel like it would have been easier just to not make All For One that powerful, but instead we get this OP character coming out of nowhere to nerf the situation back into the proper scale for the story being told. Had Star & Stripe been more smoothly integrated, or if nerfing All For One and keeping the other nations out of things wasn't such a quick fix for a story problem that had just shown up, then I think it would have gone down better. Heck, if any of the actual cast of the story was really involved, it feel smoother. But as it is, it sticks out in a very awkward way.
Otherwise, I just have some generic criticisms, which are possibly exacerbated by my reading the updates as they come out since the Spring. The story feels like it's struggling to juggle its massive cast at this point, unable to balance a focus on Deku with giving the other characters time to shine. Either Deku is taking up all the page-count, or he's off-screen for several months. Also, it has the typical shonen problem where characters who should are mostly human are getting thrown around and beaten up on a level that they should only survive if they have super-strength, never mind the amount of blood-loss that people shrug off.
Also, a tentative criticism I'm making is that it feels a bit awkward how Shiguraki gets taken over by All For One. After his big character arc and victory of the Metahuman Liberation Front, he gets his personality wiped out and his body taken over. It feels like a bit of a waste, unless I'm supposed to think that his defeat of ReDestro was required to get him to the point where he'd submit to The Doctor's plan, but I didn't get that impression. However, this is something that might be made to feel better by later revelations, which the latest updates are only starting to move towards, so I'm open to changing my mind here. But for now, it feels kinda Hijacked By Ganon after putting so much effort into building up Shigaraki.

While going over every memory possible to try and find out the exact time I had originally made an au I remembered during a weird dream experience (Chasing Piers around my mind until he stopped somewhere and asked me why such a cool thing was left in the forgotten memories part of the mind.) It seems that the au originated in 2nd grade. I would have been around 8 years old. Definitely no older than 9.
The au was some kind of nightmarish universe that a pink Lucario had the key to. In the universe the pink Lucario guarded, monstrous pokemon too scary to be considered pokemon existed. I remember only one evolution line out of all the designs there and I might try to recreate it sometime. It looks cool.
Venting beyond the "keep reading". I don't like going over old memories
Thinking up something like that as an 8 year old is... probably concerning. I know I didn't have the best life (and still don't) but I could have been more messed up than I thought.
In any case I'm glad I was messed up in the way that I'm overly sensitive to things and absolutely do not like it when people are suffering as opposed to the alternative that sometimes happens to people that is being messed up in a way that someone would want others to have the same bad experiences.
On the side of looking into the memory of the au, I think I might have realized why I get worried beyond normal levels if a friend stops responding to texts.
Throughout growing up, I didn't have many friends. In elementary school, I only had one friend every couple of years but people kept moving.
The school I went to as a kid had something wrong with the air that was causing a bunch of kids to develop asthma. So yeah that's probably the reason people kept leaving.
But I was always bullied too much for no reason my autism to be particularly eager to try making new friends. One time, someone dragged me across the floor by my hair - just randomly no less.
When I eventually had to leave to go to a different school (I had one more year left there) it was because the principal had hit me with the wooden paddle every single day for the last 2 years I was there and I can't for the life of me remember what I did to deserve any of those beatings. All I can remember is that one time a half-broken chair pulled down my pants outside of my control and I got in trouble for that for who knows why but I don't think I was beat for that.
Then from middle school onwards I just - stopped making friends. Heck, the most common form of bullying in the middle school I went to was coughing on folks and then shouting ebola so I tried to avoid contact as much as possible.
I did have one friend in middle school but then the friend at some point decided to hate me out of nowhere.
Then in high school I started making a few online friends but I didn't have any social skills at all so a lot of the friends I made then aren't friends with me anymore and like- ok, that's fair with the way I spoke then but I feel like trash when I remember my past self.
One thing to note about high school, "my expectations were already low but holey cow swiss cheese"
Yeah there was a time in class people were throwing sharp objects at me and the teacher was doing nothing. After a while of peacefully telling them to stop, I pulled out the self defense tactic I don't like using and have only used a few times ever: Screaming so loud the floor shakes.
That only stopped the bullying for a few minutes before they began throwing sharp objects at me again. One other person told them to stop but they still didn't and I eventually just got up, told the teacher I'm going, then left. My anxiety is so strong that was the only time I ever just got up and left like that. Of course- I had still told the teacher I was leaving- but yeah.
To this day I still only make friends online. Aside from living far away from people and being scared to talk to people because of social anxiety, the closest city is actually in the top 10 list of dangerous cities.
Back on the topic of why I get so worried if a friend doesn't respond for too long, I get paranoid that I said something wrong and I'm being silently abandoned or I assume the worst if there's no activity at all for way too long.
This paranoia and fear comes up no matter how much I trust the particular friend.
If it's a friend I love and trust a lot, I'm often even more likely to cry all night if I get no response for a week. I get so relieved when there's finally a response though
Anyhoo sorry to anyone who read all that. I try not to vent but if I do vent, I hide it behind a keep reading or whatever-

re: how we talk about terfs
at least as far as this blog goes, I’m not really bothering with nuance about terfs. Expecting any way of talking about terfs to result in zero terf recruitment is probably not realistic. So is a hardline “terfs are just evil and not really feminists, nothing to see here” actually less effective than a more nuanced discussion? Probably not actually. Most people don’t look further. Gross simplifications are effective. They are not 100% effective, but it is not realistic to expect any strategy to be 100% effective.
(As far as I can tell like most political movements there is a broad spectrum of ideological commitment, from people who have done very deep dives into theory to people whose analysis is mostly based off of memes. I’m not overly bothered by calling the latter type not really feminist — fuck knows Harry Potter is not especially feminist literature, I did a gender analysis on major characters in Prisoner of Azkaban and I think 1/4 of the characters were female, and it’s not like JKR makes up for that by exploring feminist themes, so yeah I’m fine with saying JKR is not a feminist — although yeah, obviously the ideology in any sort of relatively intact/consistent form is about women’s issues. It’s, uh, it’s kind of as though there were a strain of self-identified environmentalists who only cared about plastic straws and didn’t have anything to say about industrial fishing or fossil fuels, there’s a point at which it doesn’t matter where your ideas came from, the result is not that thing any more.
I think there is some necessary work that can be done in trying to smooth the way for terfs who are considering de-terfing or whatever we want to call it. (I’m not going to say de-radicalizing. I think being a radical is a good thing, I also am not impressed by any version of supposed radicalism that’s pro-cop.) But it’s not necessarily compatible, within the same blog, with the also necessary work of creating online safe space for trans people. So. there are values we can promote which, for people who adopt them, are going to make them very unlikely to adopt terf views, without necessarily talking about terfs at all. Obviously there’s talking about how identifying as trans and transitioning can be a positive force in people’s lives. But there’s also sex positivity (ie the idea that the foundation of sexual ethics is consent, not normativity or purity), talking about sex worker struggles as labor struggles (which is incompatible with the view of sex workers as victims in need of rescue, probably in practice by cops), talking about how cops and prisons suck balls, and talking about the importance of intersectional feminism (ie how it’s important to acknowledge race and other axes of oppression when talking about women’s issues.) And generally the “do whatever the heck you want” individual choice > social cohesion value. I suspect in practice tumblr suppresses non-terf feminist discussion because posting about feminist topics and then having to play terf whack-a-mole is so fucking exhausting. But it does have the unfortunate consequence that if you’re getting your politics from tumblr, there reallt doesn’t seem to be that much to feminism outside of terf circles. Which is unfortunate because this is very much not my experience with the blogosphere of the 2000’s and 2010’s. But probably people who are becoming politically aware now aren’t getting their feminism from the same places I did. And admittedly most of where I got my feminism is more progressive than radical as such; it pretty sure there are thinkers who are radical and feminist without being sex negative/rad-fem-y, I just don’t have names off of the top of my head. I mean, pretty much by definition radical feminism is the feminism that centers patriarchy as the primary form of oppression, but surely it’s possible to have good feminist analysis as a radical without downplaying class, race, disability, colonialism…

this obviously isn't an all-the-time thing, because casting, but there are nights when i judge how invested i am in my current loop by how sorely i am tempted to run off after fred's kampe instead. for instance, a loop with a non-milton kronos basically turned into a stealth kampe loop because one of 'em spent a lot of time locked away in a li'l room on his own and the other one kept swinging through the area being engaging as heck, whereas i was writing up my nearly-perfect hades/persephone show weeks later and was *gobsmacked* to remember it had been a fred kampe night
the thing about the online cast list means i am now extending this out into my non-burnt city life, and if it's a fred kampe night then i am judging *whatever* i'm doing by how badly i wish i was in woolwich instead
so far, things that have engaged me enough to distract me from this wish:
- Don't Worry Darling (not a great film but certainly entertaining while it was happening)
- The Crucible (yeah, okay, i guess it's a pretty good play)
and things that have NOT engaged me enough to distract me:
- yoga class
so this is my life now, i guess 👍🏻👍🏻

Plans and Progress
Okay, so I quit my job Friday at the end of my shift.  Without another job to go to.  Because it apparently gets easier to do once you’ve done it before.  /shrug
However!  I am not without plans, and progress is being made in other areas of life.  First, the plans.
I am taking this weekend to be a weekend.  Because weekend.  And I just quit my job.  So weekend.  
Starting Tomorrow, 1/23/2023 
I will sign up to be an Instacart in-store shopper. Grocery stores sometimes do hit one of my few sensory problems, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.  It’s like my targetting system goes crazy, I try to focus on everything at once.  Annoying, but not a desperate issue unless I’m very tired. 
I will also sign up to Rover to do dogwalking and petsitting.  Because I’m actually good with animals.  Animals are usually much more sensible and far less annoying than people.  
I am also considering signing up on Fiverr as I had an idea a while back to do small mailings.  If there’s one thing I still know it’s the postal service.  I actually came up with a pricing scheme for doing small-run (200 or less) mailings of 4 pages or less.  That’s generally how many pages you can stuff in a standard business envelope and send with a 1st Class stamp without going over the 1 ounce limit.  I can think of all kinds of uses for this, I could print, address, return address, stamp and send mailings easily.  It’s a skill I know.  Play to your strengths, work on your weaknesses, right?  
I will also re-do my resume as it’s a mess.  I’ll be putting in more applications to actual jobs but honestly if I can make enough in the gig economy it will lose importance.  I’d far rather work on my own at stuff I know and am good at than try to learn a new job at this point.  But I will re-do the resume.  
Outside of work-related, I continue to work on Pathfinder . 
Also there’s that bit of fanfic from the last post.  Because I got caught up over a good looking older guy with black hair.  Because I’m stupid for black hair.  
Good lord why did it have to be Tom Cruise?  The poster boy for L. Ron Hubbard’s ego trip?
My Buddhist intellectual heart just cracked a little.  Somewhere in my brain, a brain cell just sacrificed itself for the greater good of humanity.  I believe in data and robot spacecraft and verifiable, reproducible science as the basis for science-fiction.  As Asimov and Clarke intended!  
Okay, enough of the caterwauling, back to the post.  
Progress!  Has been Made!
This past week I was checking some prices of things on Amazon, y’know, as you do.  And I found a queen-size weighted blanket at half-price. Like, an insane price.  $23.  Not joking, it was $23 dollars.  So as it was a reasonable price and I’ve been curious I said what the heck and ordered one.  It came in this past Friday and for the past 2 nights I’ve been sleeping with it.  I’ll admit I was skeptical since I largely don’t have sensory issues except the aforementioned problems at grocery stores.  But I’m here to tell you, that thing works.  It’s like sleeping wrapped up in an octopus filled with lead shot, but I wake up in the morning and my back is not hurting, there are no hot flashes or nausea, and damn if I don’t sleep through the entire night!  I’ve had 8+ hours of solid sleep for the last 2 nights and I’m not being forced awake by my back hurting.  It’s freaking amazing.  So yeah, you guys weren’t kidding, I’d never have believed it if I wasn’t sleeping in it.  Yay Skillful Means!
I have been thinking on ways to get my original fiction out there in the world.  I am aware that part of the problem is exposure.  My first thought is audiobook versions.  I used to do a podcast many moons ago, it’s no longer online so please don’t look for it, but I narrated all my original fiction extant at that time.  And while of course I know my own work better than anybody, I am not a voice actor.  I have a thick Southern accent, an inescapable Tennessee Hillbilly accent, that simply does not lend itself to quality narration.  Also, possibly due to my autism I stutter and even to myself my speaking voice is just wrong.  I think it’s called “prosody”?  My voice is often monotone, the rhythm is often off, and thanks to the ravages of early menopause my voice dropped about 3/4ths of an octave several years ago.  So yeah, doing my own stories just would not be a sound business decision at this point.  But Audible does have this thing called ACX where authors can connect with voice actors to produce audiobooks of their work.  It’s something to think about, and certainly I’m well aware of the popularity of audiobooks.  I’ve listened to enough of them myself, that’s for sure.
The key point in all this -- I’m coming up with options rather than sinking into the abyss.  I am betting on myself, on my skills and abilities, rather than trying to shoehorn myself into the standard model of societal physics.  There are other ways to make a living where I can run my own life and not be forced into the boxes of what’s always been done.  I can make my own hours, find my own work that fits my abilities and limitations, and freaking be myself.  
Right, so.  I’m going to go watch my view count on AO3.  And try not to think about the Stupid Black Hair thing.

A Subtle College Life in SPUP
Hey there! It's me again😁 the most handsome gentleman in the Psychology Department😉. It's been a long time since I posted here, I have been busy living my life lately. Today, in this sacred 21st century thingy called blog, I am going to be talking about what it is like to be a Paulinian college student🤩. This will take a long time, so if you are interested, get yourself a cup of hot coffee - or tea, whatever you prefer- sit back, relax, and join me as we go on a journey of a Paulinian student's life.
Are you ready? All righty then, let's go!
Tumblr media
St. Paul University Philippines, a school known for their magnificent infrastructures, Christ-centeredness, aesthetic gardens, and of course, slippery tiles😂. Too bad my college journey did not start there. Nope. It was pandemic back then so my college journey started in an app. A lot of grown-ups would think, "Oh that's great, your college life would be easy since it will all be done online for a while. You'll be at home, you don't have to go outside, you won't be spending money, you kids should get through this with ease!"
Yeah, right😐.
I guess when it comes to learning and academics, some things will just not escape you. And those are hardships, struggles...and math. Seriously, I thought this course won't have any math subjects LOL. But anyway, now that we are growing up, life won't get easier from there. Even though it was flexible learning, we still get to deal with too many house chores, too many requirements, deadlines, quizzes, and who said we won't be spending any money?🙄
Tumblr media
Nevertheless, all of this hardships and conflicts have shaped me into the best of who I am. Truth is, I was a slacker at the beginning, but because of the pressure, I got up my feet and started working harder than before. And I am soooo thankful for choosing to be a better student.
During my first year, I was very shy about making new friends. But I'm glad that my friends are wise, hard-workers, logical thinkers, and full of good influence. Well, kind of🙊. LOL Now that face-to- face class is finally back, I became closer to them than online.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of face-to-face, during the first days of third year, one of my classmates told me "You know, you look so much thinner online. You're actually chubbier in person." And here is how I reacted:
Tumblr media
Well, it's true, I will admit it. I actually got too carried away with my laziness and eating too much that I gained so much fat. I got my interest back on weightlifting at the beginning of year of 2022. My progress was actually better than before. I can lift heavier weights now, my physique is getting toned, and even though my body weight was actually getting heavy (it's because of the muscles😎) my clothes are starting to fit better.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The issue was, because my top priority was my academics, I barely even have time to do a set of push ups. And with that, I adjusted my priorities. At first, I must finish all of my academic related requirements that must be done. And when I finally have a free time, only then will I go back to lifting heavy weights. And since then, with my diet on track of course, the balance between my favorite hobby and my academics are doing very well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's one of the life changing lesson that I have learned and will forever apply it till my last breath. Know what you want and what you need, set your priorities straight, and just flipping do it. You are probably thinking, "Oh wow, Robby, you prioritize your study and you go to the gym? That is s alpha of you😍". I don't really like that term to be labelled at me😂. An alpha is more of dominant type of person, the one who has the ability to lead and influence people.
Throughout my college life, I have become a leader of a group more than once. And the first time I ever became a leader, I was a hot head. Like if one of my groupmates won't do their work on time I would rant the heck out of them in our own group chat. 😂
Tumblr media
But hey, that was back then, now I actually learn to become better with leading and influence people. When it comes to being a leader, logical thinking comes first, empathy comes second, emotions come last in silence. In other words, be stoic.
A lot of unexpected conflicts will come, especially when a lot of responsibilities are passed on to you. And no matter what, we must learn to endure and cope our emotions in silence, and never let them affect the way you think and the way you act. So always be logical with the way you think. Speaking of that, the best thing about college life is that my mindset have been shifted. Almost as if my brain was callused. The thing is, whenever I feel anxious or afraid of something, I face it. One of my oldest enemies is my anxiety. Whenever I feel like butterflies are going crazy in my stomach, I took a deep breath and just go. That is why I joined and volunteer whenever I get a chance to do so, such as performing along with the mob dancers, singing in a chorale, and speaking in front of a class.
These are some of the lessons that I have learned living as a college student in St. Paul University Philippines. If I could go back in time to meet my younger self who said "I can't wait to be a college student, it must be exciting", I'd go back and slap him on the face. LOL
All jokes aside, I hope that my sharing have entertained you, and I also hope that you learn something valuable because every thought that I have said, every lessons, are all based on my experience as a college student.
With that, thank you so much for your time and have a great weekend💖
PEACE✌
