I. LET'S MEET THE OTHER FOUR !

Ever since your whole secret affair that's not so secret with Isagi's friend group, you found out they all knew except for Isagi himself that you've slept with all of them at least once. So, it took you by surprise when Isagi introduced you to his other set of friends, and some are not so considered as his friends.

MICHAEL KAISER was a surprise. You've least expected this one, and he least expected you, too. You knew Kaiser, as Isagi had told you about him once or twice, on how annoying he was on field, how he's such a cocky german bastard, and how he's over all a jerk. So it caught you off guard when someone called over to your boyfriend, and there he was, a tall figure with blonde hair and blue streaks. You noticed the rivalry despite being out of the soccer field, and you noticed how Isagi got extra possessive with you once he noticed that Kaiser was staring at you. Michael seemed to be.. amused with you. He found you cute, someone who didn't deserve to be with a medium average guy like Isagi, or so he thinks. He truly found your presence something else, and he was rather intrigued by it.

He had Ness search about you, stalk your socials, and literally get bits of information from you with your instagram posts, twitter updates, and all of your other social media accounts. You were lucky enough to have some of them privated, you're unaware that a bastard was stalking you. So, it caught you off guard once you noticed a familiar tall guy enter the cafè you're at. Michael Kaiser. He's.. he's here. You thought to yourself that it was just a coincidence, but little did you know that Michael saw your twitter update last night saying you're going out to this cafè.

"Oh? What a surprise. Yoichi's girlfriend." He smiled, looking at you with the same friendly (which is not so friendly at the same time) grin he gives Isagi. "Mind if I sit here? The place's too crowded." He questioned you, and you let him sit in the opposite direction of your seat. Though, it was rather awkward, but you aren't gonna lie, you'd take him too if he was willing.

Lucky for you, he was actually willing. He asked for your number, which he already knew, after meeting at the cafè and you gladly gave him your number. It didn't take long before he started being flirty over text. Sending you random updates, pickup lines, inviting you over to his place some time, and all of that stuff. So, you agreed to take a stop over by his house, and somehow, you're handcuffed and blindfolded, with only your panties left and having no idea on what Michael has planned for you. 

"Look at you, all hopeless and pathetic." He commented, and you felt his hand trace chest, giving a few squeeze at your nipple which you would whine over, he was teasing you. You felt his hand draw lower, going with the curve of your waist, and dipping lower to your sex. "Hmm.. what should I do with you?" He stated out loud, he sounded sarcastic, and you whined. "Just touch me already, Kaiser..!" You whined, and he scoffed in return. "What an impatient bitch you are." He commented, but he was quick to discard your panties, and rubbing in a few circles on your folds. "Yoichi should've disciplined you better. Perhaps.. he doesn't at all?" He taunted you. You tried to stay silent, you had no awareness of the surroundings, or what he might do next. "Awh, though, I don't blame Yoichi for not disciplining you," he continued on, speeding up his fingers, and then giving your clit a spank. You whined at this, "maybe I should discipline you." He smirked, pushing you over making you lay down on the bed, and you felt warm tongue lick your folds. "I'll edge you over and over until you're finally back in your place, you good for nothing slut." He grunted, before diving back in your pretty cunt, making you see stars. His tongue felt so good, he knew how to use that stupid tongue of his. Maybe that was the only good purpose of his mouth.

You felt hopeless, though. Your hands were handcuffed, and his hands had a death grip on your thighs, spreading your legs all for him, not allowing you to close them. "I wonder what Yoichi would do if he finds out his bimbo girlfriend's having fun with his rival?" He pestered in between his kisses to your clit. "Shut it- ah!" you moaned, as you felt him licking and sucking back on your folds. You wanted to hate him as much as your boyfriend hated him, but you just couldn't. Not with him making you feel so good. He continued flicking on your abused clit, and his two fingers were inside your hole that was desperate for attention. This went on for a few more minutes, and your moans and whines were audible. He also bickered nonstop, degrading you to your fullest extent. He was harsher than all of his (yoichi)'s friends that you've slept with. And you were loving it.

"Ah! mngh.. Micha! 'm gonna- haah.. 'm gonna cum!" you said in between your moans, you felt yourself nearing your peak, and you wanted to come undone and get this over with. "Not gonna happen, you good for nothing bitch." he quickly removed his tongue from your clit, removing his fingers from your hole, and you felt empty. You were disappointed and frustrated that you didn't get to reach your high. "Wha- why'd you do that, Micha..!" You probed, your voice sounding whiny as you were so annoyed that he pulled away just when you were about to cum. "I told you, greedy cockslut, I won't let you cum. I'll discipline you until you know your place."

MIKAGE REO who was Nagi's best friend. Yoichi didn't introduce you to him, but Nagi did. You met up with Reo when Nagi invited you to the arcade with Isagi. Reo's a.. wealthy man. He really was- like, filthy rich. He spent money on you like it was nothing. Whenever you'd waste your tokens and get nothing, he would just buy another few thousand tokens and let you play again on the vending machine, but that certainly did not happen as Isagi ended up getting the stuff toy for you. You were hopeless with the vending machines. Reo could spend thousands on tokens, and you still won't be able to grab at least one plushie. He would often just laugh at you and your goofy actions at the arcade, but one thing he took seriously was whenever he'd get a glimpse of your panties at the arcade. Whenever you'd bend down to grab the prize from the vending machine, he'd step right behind you to prevent others from seeing your pretty panties, but to also only let himself be the only one to see your panties that easily traced your clit.

And needless to say, yes, it's wrong to do this to your friend's girlfriend, but what could be the harm, right? He was just helping you and preventing your panties from being seen by others. Atleast, that's what he tells himself. But deep down, he knows he has an ulterior motive. And he did not want to admit that, not at all. He has always been a reserved man, a man with manners, and a man who's been taught proper etiquette since birth, however, as of now, he's acting like some teenage boy who's never felt the touch of a girl. He was embarrassed of himself and felt guilty, so, he invited you for karaoke and dinner. Ofcourse, he invited Isagi, Nagi, and the other guys to hang out. 

So when you two were sitting right next to each other on the dinner table, your friends and Isagi's friends all told him to sit the opposite direction of you to make it more 'romantic.' So he did just that. You two were both at the inner seat, facing each other, and Reo sat right next to you. You didn't mind, at all. The dinner went casual, everyone blabbering about soccer, asking about personal life, making jokes, and all of that stuff. If you were being honest, you were actually quite bored. It's not that you expected a lot from a casual dinner, but it's just that they were mostly focused on soccer and soccer just wasn't your fortè. You were beginning to get rather bored, but luckily for you, you're sitting right next to Mikage Reo, who'll entertain you and you'll never get bored with him. You sensed a big hand placed on your inner thigh, and a thumb stroking it. You looked down and saw Reo's hand. He continued to stroke your thigh for a few minutes, before his hand dropped down under your skirt, finding your panty. You detected a finger on your clit, and you looked at Reo. He looked back, and whispered something in your ear.

"Can you keep quiet, y/n?" He teasingly asked, a cheeky grin following after before he looked back to his friends, continuing the conversation as his fingers were rubbing onto your folds. "What the fuck, Reo.." you tugged onto his arm, and whispered that into his ear. You could easily get caught here, this was risky. Moreover, his hand still continued to persist in your folds, tugging your panty to the side, and inserting two fingers down your cunt. You bit the inside of your mouth, not allowing yourself to let out a sound. Isagi was literally just in front of you, and there was no way you'd let him find out what Reo was doing to you right now.

"Oh, yeah, Y/n, how did you and Isagi meet?" Kurona, who's Isagi's soccer partner at Bastard Münched, asked you. Your shoulders tensed up, and you gave him a half smile before answering. Reo ended up going faster, curling his fingers inside your pussy. "Ah.. erm, well, we met during.. uh, back in high.. um, highschool!" you exclaimed, you barely managed to conceal your moans, and Reo chuckled at your answer. Though, Isagi had his suspicions. "Are you okay, love?" Isagi pondered. This was wrong, Isagi's right in front of you concerned if you're feeling alright, but his friend is literally fingering your pussy just under the table, making you see stars. Your pussy clenched and tightened around Reo's fingers once Isagi asked, Reo took this as a hint that you got more aroused, and proceeded to continue with his pace, hitting and curling on a specific spot that made you want to crumble down your knees and just moan like some bitch in heat.

"Ah.. yeah! 'm okay, yoichi..!" you answered. Isagi only nodded, and you looked at Reo, sending him a glare, and Reo smirked before whispering something in your ear once more. "That turned you on, no? does the thrill turn you on further?" He pestered, his tone being menacingly seductive. You bit down your lower lip, this definitely turned you on. The thrill of doing this in public, the thrill that you could get caught any time soon made you feel your release earlier. A new found kink, a kink you never expected you'd have. Your thighs pressed shut together as you felt your release coming soon. Reo quickened up his fingers' pace, and allowed you to reach your high. Your walls squeezed his fingers inside you, and you made a mess on the seat and on Reo's fingers. Your hands were fisting on your skirt, and you tried not to let any noise squeal out your mouth. Somehow and successfully, you orgasmed without your boyfriend finding out. Reo then grabbed a tissue from his bag, and handed some to you to clean the seat up in secret without anyone finding out. Your thighs were shaking, though.

KARASU TABITO was a guy your boyfriend introduced to you and you honestly thought he was a playboy. Why? Because his best friend, OTOYA EITA, was always seen with a new girl every day. Many thought Karasu would be influenced by Otoya, but shockingly, no. He's not a play boy like his buddy over there. When Isagi first introduced you to them, Karasu was actually shy to talk to you. He felt mediocre because you literally were just the cutest. The fact that you were his type made him more embarrassed to just talk to you. Karasu tried his best to minimize conversations, avoid you if possible, but at the same time, remain calm and friendly. While Otoya on the other hand, shamelessly hitted up on you in front of Isagi. When he first saw you, he already had a pick up line ready for you. However, Isagi got protective over you and tried (keyword: tried) to get you away from Otoya. Otoya claimed it was a joke, because he wouldn't want a pretty girl out of his sight.

Eita and Karasu were often a duo, they would be seen together most times whenever Yukimiya Isn't around. Great minds think alike, right? There was one night where Karasu and Otoya were playing video games and Yukimiya was asleep, Otoya randomly brought you up as the topic. Otoya rambled on about how lucky Isagi is for having a pretty girl stuck to him like glue, but Karasu remained silent. He was.. well, he was shy. Even with just mentioning you up, he would get all flustered and embarrassed. Despite his tall figure, amazing physique, who knew he could be like a teenage girl in love? He honestly felt mediocre.

"I think I have a crush on her, Eita." Karasu blurted out in the call, and Otoya laughed in response. "Then take her away from Isagi! It's that simple!" Otoya chimed in on the call, but there was no way Karasu could do that. There was no way he would steal a friend's girlfriend.

So why, why are you here, riding on Otoya's cock and taking Karasu from behind? Well, this all started with Otoya's dumb idea to invite you guys over to his place. He said and claimed he just needed you to style him like how girls want a guy to look like, and Karasu to take photos for his Instagram. But that all ended up with you on top of Otoya, your pussy taking and gripping on his cock while Karasu was behind you, fucking up your ass. "Can't- can't..! Too- haah.. ngh! s'too much..!" You protested and moaned whilst Otoya jolted his hips upward and Karasu slowly thrust his dick on your ass. "I'm sure you can, you cocksleeve." Otoya murmured, stroking your hair as his other hand pressed on your waist. Karasu on the other hand prepped kisses on your neck, not leaving a hickey cause Isagi might find out and they'd heavily be in danger.

"right, Karasu? Our little slut here can surely take both of us in, ah- shit," otoya groaned, feeling your pussy tighten up on his dick as he slowed down his pace on thrusting up on your cunt. "You're so goddamned tight." He commented. "Ah.. right, yeah, she can take us." Karasu slowly agreed, before giving your ass a spank. Oh how long Karasu wanted to do this. He wanted this moment badly. You winced at the sharp feeling of pain registering, and you whined. Your mind was becoming cock drunk of Otoya thrusting up in your abused pussy, and Karasu wrecking your asshole. You felt like some sex toy, like a fleshlight. "Ah shit, keep on tightening up like that, ngh, and I might, ah- fuck, I might cum." Otoya grunted as he sped up, along with Karasu also fastening up to match Otoya's rhythm. Their cocks were in sync, one goes out, and the other goes in. Your mind was becoming a mess, loud moans and whimpers coming out of your lips as the two made a slut out of you, making you go dumb on both their cocks. "I'm gonna- fuck, cum, you can take it, right? you can sureeeely take my cum inside you." Karasu moaned in your ear, and you nodded in response. You're too dumb to think, tears pooling down at your face, moans and whines of nonsense coming out of your pathetic mouth. It didn't take long before you orgasmed down on Otoya's cock, which he soonly followed after, filling your cute pussy up to the brim. Karasu pulled out and gave his cock a few strokes, jerking it off and cumming right on your ass cheeks, making a dirty sight on your back.

The two pulled out and rested you down on Otoya's bed, and Karasu grinned as they looked at you, your eyes shut tight, your hands gripping on the sheets, and you were left panting. "Nice view, ain't it, Eita?" "Psh, I could get used to this."

OLIVER AIKU whom your boyfriend also considered as a playboy. He looked like he was in his 30s. You refused to believe it at first when he said he was just 19. But you wont lie to yourself, he looked reaaaallyyyyy attractive. The first time he saw you, he thought Isagi had invited a random chick to hang out with. Turns out, he was heavily mistakened and Isagi had to be on guard with him all the time whenever you're around. Oliver wouldn't deny the fact you were stunning, no, you were drop dead gorgeous in his eyes. He wanted to make you one of the girls he keeps for company. You seemed like the sweet type, and he wanted to ruin you. To corrupt that mind of yours, little does he know you've already been corrupted a long time ago, but still. You looked so cute in his vision, walking and running around with that short skirt of yours and that blouse that Oliver wanted to rip apart. He never thought he would have the opportunity to have a taste of you, that is until he saw you in the local bar, drinking all by yourself without your boyfriend. 

He wondered, what could a girl, a pretty girl like you be doing here in a bar? Do you not know the dangers of going alone without someone to protect you? There were alot of bastards, so why aren't you with anyone? He then made his way and sat right next to you at the counter and silently looked at you, you noticed his presence and looked right back at him. You were caught off guard that one of Yoichi's friends would be here. "O-Oh! Aiku, hello." You waved at him, nervously. "Hello, yoichi's girl. Why are you here?" He questioned, thinking of all the possibilities of why you were all alone. "Yoichi and I .. we had a little misunderstanding," you sighed, Bachira was busy, and he wasn't there to 'comfort' you so you went to the nearest bar to let yourself go for a moment and block out everyone. "Doesn't seem that little to me." Aiku opined, looking at your figure who seemed to be sober. "Whatever it is.. I'm too tired to fix it right now, maybe I just need to figure things out first." You continued further, swinging your feet back and forth. 

"You shouldn't be out here all alone." Oliver got up, going down from his seat and looking at you. "You should go home already, or if you're not ready to see that egoist stricker yet, you can stay at my place." He offered, and ofcourse, who were you to decline that? You needed a place to stay at and you refused to look at Isagi or even go home. So you took his offer. Maybe your perspective of him has changed, maybe he's not so bad. Maybe he's here to genuinely comfort you, maybe he's.. maybe he's different from Isagi's other friends.

Wrong. Very, very, very wrong. He was no different at all. You thought he would be sincere and genuinely comfort you, right? Why did you even expect that from a playboy in the first place? Here you are, your ass up in the air and your face buried down on the pillows. "Aiku.. please." You sobbed from the pillows, you were vulnerable. "You're impatient, baby." He stated before pressing his dick on your folds. You turned your head and looked over to him, he had the cockiest grin you've ever seen from anyone else you fucked with. You whined, getting impatient. "Geez, fine, fine." He sighed, before entering your pussy in one go to teach you a lesson. Your eyes opened wide, a loud and long moan came out from your lips when he bottomed out just like that. The pain was something, but it also felt so.. good. He was big.

"Aww, look." He coos, placing a hand on your tummy that had a bulge of his dick. "You're.. you're too- mph- too big..!" You squealed when he pressed his hand on the bulge of his dick on your stomach. "Yeah yeah, you asked for this, didn't ya?" He scoffed, before starting to slowly thrust in and out of your pussy. His dick covered in your slit, and a white ring on the base of his cock. He was so big, and it made you feel so full. "Do you like it? Yeah? Fuck, you like being fucked like this?" He asked, his hands gripping on your waist to keep you steady and you were already crying on the sheets. "yes, yes, yes, hngh, ah! fuck, sooooo good.." you moaned out, his dick hits a certain spot that makes you see stars every time.

He filled you up so well, it felt right to have his dick inside your pussy. His pace was getting faster and faster, and getting harsher than before. Your moans and sobs filled the room, and Oliver was enjoying this moment. Hearing your stupid desperate pleads for more and moaning his name like some prayer, it felt amazing. You didn't differ from all the other girls he's slept with before, but you felt better than most of 'em. Your warm pussy gripping him so tight, it wouldn't let go of his dick and just kept sucking him back in. What a nasty whore you really are. His hand suddenly slapped your ass, and you moaned loudly when he did that. "Oh? You like that? Are you a masochist?" he teased, before grabbing both of your hands to your back and pulling you upwards as he continued to mercilessly pound on your cunt from behind. "Look at your expression, it's adorable." He kissed your neck, before letting go of both of your hands and placing his hand on your neck to keep you steady, choking you.

"Haah..! Fuck, oliveeer.. !!" you whined out as you felt your mind go hazy as he choked you, and a smirk was on his face as you cried out. Your walls gripped on him, tightening up as your peak was coming. "Fuck, go, milk my cock." He instructed, and you were quick to do as he says, milking on his cock. Cumming straight onto his cock as he soon followed afterwards, painting your walls white. You felt him let go of your throat and a long moan of his name left your mouth as you orgasmed, and your body falling back on his bed. 

Both of you were left panting and breathing for air, as his thumb stroked your ass. “You're so.. fuck, you did amazing.”

BONUS SCENE !!

ISAGI YOICHI, your boyfriend, wasn’t all dumb and oblivious. Ofcourse, he knew deep down inside how you were sleeping with his friends. 

He knew that you were literally being tossed around in his circle of friends and being used as some cum dumpster.

He knew about this– it all started when he noticed how often his friends would ask you to a simple “hangout” and whenever you’d come back home, you'd always say you’re too tired and have him baby you all day.

He noticed how often your panties would have cum stains that weren’t yours– neither his. 

Isagi had to teach you a lesson, and even his friends. He knows you’ll always come back crawling to him. That’s why you’re being fucked by his cock from behind, and to your embarrassment and humiliation, being recorded.

Isagi was drilling his cock in your pussy, all while filming it. It felt so humiliating, but the feeling of his cock made you lose all sense of self respect.

“you’re such a fuckin’ whore, aren’t you, baby?” isagi groaned as he bent down to whisper that to your ear, still keeping the phone aimed at your pretty pussy. 

“you’ll always– fuck, come back t’me, right?” he scoffed, while all you could do was whine and mewl under him. “use your words, you slut.” he demanded, and you did your best to please him.

“mmph– ah! yes, fuck– always g’nna go back to you, ichi, haaahnh– feels so good!” you moaned from behind, shamelessly. If you were still stable, you’d definitely never get the courage to say that so damn loud, but Jesus, Isagi’s cock was all too much for you.

“turn around, baby, wanna see your pretty face.” he commanded, and you did just that, fixing your position as isagi grabbed the phone, showing the state you were in to the camera before hammering again inside you.

Your tits bounced rhythmically to his thrusts and your tears pooling down to your cheeks.

“so damn pretty like that.” isagi chuckled, but his soft demeanor differed from how hard he fucked your sweet cunt.

“love you– ah! love you, ichi–!” you mewled, trying to hide your face but you knew it just wouldn’t lead to something good, not with isagi.

“heh, love you too, sweetheart.” he said in a low groan, before pulling out and jerking his cock off in a fast pace

Your pussy twitched as his tip rested on your clit, and not long after, he came all over your lower abdomen and pussy, spurting his white seed all over you.

“pose for the camera, baby.” he says, his tone much sweeter now. Maybe a hard fuck had helped a little to his feelings.

You only whined, before hiding your face which earned a laugh from him. “love you, yoichi.” you voiced out, not caring about the camera.

He stopped filming from there, and placed his phone right beside his side of the bed before lowering himself to the sheets, and laying right beside you, kissing your face all over. 

He smiled at you, Isagi was still upset over you basically cheating on him, but could he really resist you?

“get some rest, baby.” he replies, before pulling you to a hug, your face snuggled on his chest as you hugged him back.

after a while, he heard soft snoring from you, as you had completely fallen asleep.

However, Isagi wasn’t done, fun had just begun.

he slowly got up, grabbed his phone, sent the whole video of you being fucked dumb by him to his groupchat with his friends (who you’ve 100% slept with)  

“sorry losers, she’s still mine”

==RenewAsACrew Farewell==

Tumblr / Twitter / IG

Alright lovelies, we're gonna have a little chat for a moment here. Please take a moment to read this part. I know a lot of you are feeling ansy and uncomfortable right now. It feels like something that we were hanging on to for a long time for support has suddenly fallen out from under us. That's a valid feeling. Feel it. It's good to feel it. We got this far with #RenewAsACrew, and it's scary to think that support isn't there anymore. I want to point out though, the most important part of that sentence, and that is "WE". #RenewAsACrew was a leadership team that steered us in a direction so that WE could hone our creativity, tenacity, love, support, and unhinged-ness towards our common goal, and you know what? We FUCKING DID IT. WE DID. ALL OF US. This campaign is not just #RenewAsACrew it really is ALL OF YOU. Every single one of you has stepped up and done something to support this campaign, stepped out of your comfort zones, supported each other, and you have accomplished SO MUCH in so little time. We can appreciate #RenewAsACrew, and all they did to help steer us, but we can and we WILL keep going. I know a lot of you have already heard and have even joined the #SaveOFMDCrew that is now stepping up as our navigator. I joined their discord last night, and I have to say, their organisation, passion, communication, problem-solving, is all top notch. They listen to us, the crew, they help provide support, and I have every confidence that they're going to keep us headed in the right direction. So please remember, this is not an end. Take some time tonight, vent your frustrations and fears, and feel them, and then come back tomorrow knowing we're all still here. I'll say it again-- we are not losing ground, we are not losing speed, or momentum, we are pivoting. We are changing course so that we can keep doing what we do best, and that is kicking ass, supporting one another, and fighting for our show and for queer and diverse representation in media. We will get our joy back in some form or another, even if that form is just this amazing found family we've all stumbled into. We got this. Now. Onto the fun stuff.

==Cast & Crew Sightings==

Not specifically about the show but PR wise interesting and something we can quote: Apple TV+ Is the New HBO

Wells Fargo Downgrades Warner Bros. Discovery Stock on Lower Earnings Outlook, ‘Less Favorable’ M&A

== Radio Times / TV Times! ==

Uk Folks, OFMD is showing up in Radio Times and TV Times!

Thanks @lamentus1 for the deets!: "While the Radio Times might seem negative it’s been pointed out a few times that just having a write up is a big deal. It’s been picked as the one new thing on that day that should have a bit more written about it. Which is a big deal. He’d have been very limited by word count to, so we should cut him some slack for consolidating what he had to say. "

==Videos==

Thank you to @fruityedge05 for their post on this video by MsMojo! "MsMojo posted a video about OFMD, and started the video by saying "Today we're looking at the most chuckle-worthy scenes in this outlandish pirate comedy that was cruelly canceled before it's time." Please check out their post and the video below!

== Side Notes ==

I'm in the process of compiling as many resources as possible into a documentation repository I use. It'll take a couple days to catch up with them so I'll be a bit scarce while that's happening because it's a lot of information! Also, FYI: I am taking Saturday the 4th off -- it'll be my first day off in 5 years and I'm going to the hotsprings nearby with some friends, and that night we're going to drink and watch OFMD and GO! So there won't be a recap for Saturday from me at least (pending if I get sick again), you're all welcome obviously to put one up if you'd like!

== Love Notes ==

It's been a very long day lovelies. You did an amazing job. Just know whatever you did today, we are proud of you, and you could never disappoint us here on the crew. You're exceptional, and we see the ever wonderful you! Bonus: A little love note I found on IG I thought you might like:

Guess who's back with more massive lore!! (Kinda)

OK SO JUANAFLIPPA IS BACK!!

THERE WASNT MUCH like serious lore today.

Code update:

His other arm is corrupted but no one noticed due to his gegg costume

Lore update: his parents died making that costume??? I am praying that's not Canon because the lore implications are terrifying. (Kinda like the implication of the eggs have teeth)

Anyway, I like to think Charlie is just canonically completely a believer in ghosts, and tells himself hey yah flippa isn't one and then DOUBTS HIMSELF HALFWAY THROUGH 💀

Thoughts and actual theorys.

So we know about etoiles encryption right? If not I'll post the file.

Pretty much Juanaflippa is a bigger part of the lore than we realized. Not to mention that there was slime materials and armor....all over the haunted house? Slime armor everywhere. Slime blocks...Slime balls....

But....why?

Why are they there.

His lore, it's involved in everything. Flippas code-ness did this, and he's getting corrupted quickly. It's spreading, there's not alot left to cover before he's gone. So I'm thinking, something bigs going to happen soon.

-

{Note: I think flippa will die soon and we will get a new Charlie arc or a complete wipe of character} [I am praying we get a super duper angsty memory loss arc with the: "WHY DON'T I KNOW?! WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER ANYMORE.... PLEASE... WHO ARE YOU....'Juanaflippa...?'"]

(Forgive my angsty predictions)

꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚꒷︶꒷꒥꒷‧₊˚

Back to slimecicle lore:

He's still in denial, but trying to stay happy. And still struggles with keeping children alive.

(RIP slimbus, grimbus, and grime DD:)

And he was genuinely sad about it, but tried to stay positive with Flippa by his side (insert "amiga..." Meme) Good news, more massive delicious tasty lore for me to write about in the future!

Now for Prompt Examples + Explanations 

I’ve had people ask for prompt examples in past events I’ve hosted and this event is open to any language, so here you go! These are the quick brainstorming notes (now expanded with links & definitions) I took while narrowing down the list to be sure the final prompts were unique enough / without toooo much overlap, and covered enough areas. Only some of maaaany interpretations—go wild!

Your host is a fic-writer with ADHD, so…you’ve been warned.

Day 1: 

Pumpkin Spice: Cozy Autumn vibes. Putting up Halloween decorations, carving Jack-o-lanterns, coffee / tea shop, pumpkin patch, scented candles, baking, fall sangria, sweaters and beanies and flannels, momijigari (Autumn Hanami 🌸, basically) / admiring gorgeous fall foliage, fresh hot apple cider in an orchard. Itoshi Bros and their love of turtle/mock-neck sweaters. Pumpkin Farmer Aiku and Karasu scarecrow!

Do you believe in magic?: Revealing their magical powers for the first time. Crystal ball, tarot. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. AU. Non-literal magic in relationships (feeling understood, chemistry, humor matching up perfectly, etc). Wands, spells, magical objects, magical creatures, etc.. Making a wish. Alexis "The Magician" Ness.

-

Day 2:

Masks: Costumes, super heroes, putting up a front, acting like something you’re not, classic masked Halloween meet-cute, secret / concealed identities, spies, ninja and samurai and assassins (Karasu and Otoyaaa!) Niko hiding his eyes / face.

Heartbeat: Racing heart from excitement, fright, romance, spice. No heartbeat like undead, zombie or vampire, etc.. Skip a beat, beat faster, beat slower (calm and comfort). Chigiri on the run from zombies, zombie Lorenzo!

-

Day 3: 

Things that go bump in the night: unexplained (scary or otherwise) noises in the night, whispers or voices, ghosts and other supernatural entities, haunted house / place, anything scary, …spicy. Spooky Owl outside Rin’s window. 

Festival: String lights illuminating festival stalls, costumes, traditional attire (Aryu looking stylish!), food and drink, games, Isagi devouring fried fair food. Fall Music festival. Mid-Autumn Festival (with all the pretty lanterns and mooncakes 🥮), Harvest / Fall Fests in general. Bobbing for apples, caramel / candy apples, carnival rides and games, Ferris wheel. Oktoberfest; Kaiser and/or any Bastard München player in Lederhosen—please, I’m begging!! Fun house / haunted house. Day of the Dead festivities. 

-

Day 4:

Firelight: Cauldrons, brewing potions. Candles, rituals, bonfires. Autumn camping trip, s’mores, spooky firelight shadows outside the tent, got lost on a hiking trip & have to make a fire to keep warm! Torches, candles, lanterns lighting the way in a definitely not-haunted place. Hell, your favorite circle (Dante’s Inferno) 😈

Dark Waters: merpeople, sirens, sea monsters, kraken, pirates (Kurona and Raichi, Bachira 🐬!), sharks, shipwreck, ghost ships, stranded on a deserted island, haunted lakes, lake spirits, Autumn fishing trip, swamp monsters, bogs and marshes, willowisps, alligators, snakes. Loch Ness Monster

(Fire and water, light and dark)

-

Day 5:

Paranoia: Fear and suspicion, feeling like someone’s watching and you just can’t shake it (...Ego and his cameras), feeling like you’re losing your mind, etc.. Doesn’t have to be all bad! Maybe there was a misunderstanding before a fun surprise. 

The Witching hour: Wiki / dictionary. Depending on whom you ask, the hour is either midnight or 3am - 4am. Supernatural entities / practitioners of dark arts are the most active and powerful. These entities might feel compelled / drawn out into the world. Magic and danger, inexplicable happenings! Humans ought to be at home and safely tucked in bed at this late hour, or else... Fun fact, the Orionid meteor shower peaks juuust before this event starts (in my hemisphere, at least) but continue until November, and the best time to view meteor showers is generally around the witching hour (after midnight / 3-4am). Can also mean the time in which people get up to no good or questionable stuff. 

-

Day 6:

Monster’s Ball: Monsters, creatures. Bachiraaa. Halloween party, masquerade, nightlife (going out in costume—or not—to bars and clubs). Reo buying a round. Literal ⚽ ball (Lil Isagi trick-or-treating in Noa’s kit), Halloween Practice (like in high school or college when your coach let you have a fun practice in costume before a holiday—absolute chaos and so fun!). Whatever chaos and debauchery y’all can imagine. Just follow the event guidelines and tag accordingly! Green eyed monster (jealousy), Cinderella’s Ball (Sae and Shidou!)

Hunter’s Moon: The date of the actual full Hunter’s Moon—lucky us! Sometimes called the Blood Moon. Full moon, werewolves, moonlight, on the hunt or being hunted, spells and rituals, Tsukimi / moon viewing + Tsukimi dango 🎑, moon myths and gods. Celestial things, Kurona and Isagi planetary hotline / astronauts, aliens.

(Monster vs Hunter day, ha)

-

Day 7:

Angels and Demons: Demon and priest, hell, listening to the angel or the devil on your shoulder (making a questionable decision because it’s tempting), devilish fun or spells, sin, temptation, a deal with the devil. Ohhh, Sae and Shidou, your night has come! 😈

Castle: fairytales, knights, vampires, dungeons, Royalty (King Barou, Emperor Kaiser!). Also super Sae and Shidou.

-

Day 8: 

Spirit: ghosts, haunted houses, GhostBusters, spirit entities like yokai, Ghost Adventures. Gagamaru as a friendly Yokai! Shaman. Possession, possessed or cursed objects. JJK. Ouija board game! Monk Igaguri. 

Movie Night: Watching a scary (or not scary) movie, series, anime, etc. So many movie/show Alternate Universes. Sendou living his Hollywood dreams. Barbie please!!! Nagi nodding off halfway through. The guys as a character from their favorite movie listed in the Egoist Bible.

Mischief Night: Wiki page. The night before Halloween for hijinks, pranks, scaring each other! Toilet papering Ego’s house. Can be more sinister, too. 

-

Day 9: Halloween!

Sweet tooth / sucker: Trick-or-Treating, candy corn, so much candy, caramel corn, vampires or anything with fangs, bite, ‘sucker’ like 🍭 or vampires, or…

Free day / AU (alternate universe) Palooza!: 

Whatever Halloween stuff you want that doesn’t quite fit a prompt! Just listing some of the things I would draw (if I could) or write (if i had time):

Video game au for Hiori! Pokemon! Ego as a gangly cowboy, ⚽️ bolo tie and all. Barou as the "Cowardly" Lion in the Wizard of Oz. And finally, artists, if you're reading this, please, please consider Noel Noa (of the 🇫🇷 French National 🥖 Team!!) dressed as Bonjour Man from Life Lessons with Uramichi Onii-san (clip, manga cap). Please Omg. This image has literally been haunting me since starting this event and the manga/anime (even the dub!) is soooo funny. And technically, Bonjour Man is a cursed spirit sooo 👻

Okay, that's it. Hope y'all have fun. Please reblog and spread the word 🧡🖤

The thing about Flexeril is that it’s okay, as muscle relaxers go. You get kinda limp, but not so “relaxed” that you can actually get your injured back (in my case) comfortable enough to do anything useful. I haven’t taken any today so I wouldn't be too limp to write out this post, for example. Unless you take it on an insufficiently-full stomach, because, siblings in Tumblr, I was FLYING last Friday. 

Anyway, visit the Shirley Jackson tag in honor of her birthday last week, where I spread the good word of physical media because fuck Netflix.

Have you heard about the new short in front of Wish and how they're using Hans as a punching bag again? I'm just so tired of Disney doing the same thing over and over again. It feels like they're personally attacking his fans. Like, we get it. Can you stop now?

I've read rumors and spoiler posts about it, yes.

First off, I want to see the short for myself first before I pass any real judgment. I'm sure the short is fun and harmless, and one thing I'm excited about is seeing Hans again in (what I presume) updated animation since Frozen. He showed up in Frozen Fever, but it was from a distance so you couldn't really see him too well.

More thoughts on this below the cut. It's a bit long and I didn't want to crowd everyone's feeds.

Second, on the subject of Hans being treated as a joke, I agree to an extent.

I do think that Hans isn't being treated the same way as other villains. Disney Villains, even when they have done pretty gruesome things, are given fun merchandise, songs, or promotional opportunities for their films or the 'Disney Villain' brand - at the very least they get some toys or t-shirts. Hans, on the other hand, barely gets any merchandise and is usually not featured in villain-related promotions. I think the last time Hans was present in anything was his Villain/Hero doll set he had with Elsa and the A Frozen Heart novel that was retconned by Forest of Shadows.

I would really love it if they brought him back in a meaningful way, instead of just random cameos that joke about his douche-ness. We get it. He's a douche. Can we expand on this character a bit more now? Maybe give him an opportunity to prove himself as a villain?

However, even with all this being said, I think the reason for this treatment is because of the uniqueness of Hans' overall character. Not only was he a twist villain, but he was a romantic interest for Anna - making him a little too realistic for many people.

Yes, characters like Frollo and Gaston also share the qualities of men trying to take advantage of women, and Mother Gothel does indeed show signs of a realistic abusive parent. But they're shown since the beginning that they are villainous, which helps the audience know to emotionally disconnect from them. This is the same for most villains.

Hans was shown to be desirable and then changed, which is what realistically happens when people are trapped in abusive relationships. We form attachments to these types of people and it's hard to just disconnect. It's difficult to just place him as a 'deliciously fun' Disney villain with the others when he hits too close to home.

This is why we see less of a fun side to him, and why we are often just shown him being a punching bag. Hans didn't just betray Anna, he betrayed the audience as well.

"But there have been other twist villains, like Callaghan, Mayor Bellwether, and Turbo."

Yes, but did these characters really have the same emotional attachment as Hans did? Not really. Callaghan came close, but we barely saw him interact or have an emotional connection to Hiro. Bellwether and Turbo (as King Candy) were nice to their protagonists, but again, didn't have that emotional attachment to them. Hans was Anna's light of hope after we saw her suffer during her childhood, and then he turned on her when she needed him the most. Remember the plethora of reaction videos to his betrayal when Frozen first came out? Hans is a pretty big deal.

I don't agree with the conclusion that this is meant to be an attack on Hans' fans. Sorry, but the Hans fandom is, and was never, big enough to warrant such a response from Disney and we barely agree with each other on everything. If there were hundreds of fans bombarding Frozen and Disney posts, then maybe I would believe it. However, if you actually look at Twitter, it's literally the same three or four people just insulting Jennifer Lee and spreading the #FireJenLee and #RedeemHans tags. That's the only Hans Fandom presence on Twitter, unfortunately.

Hi! I have a question since you said you read my fic. Idk if you remember it well or not, but I'm wondering what you thought of the Homme Fatale ending? I feel like people were kind of split on it but the one really critical comment I got was someone thinking I wrote their sex dynamic wrong (which was like, ok well thanks for tolerating like 20 chapters of that lol) So just wondering if you have any takes on how the story turned out! If you don't mind giving your take

??????????????????????????? "idk if you remember it well or not" ??? that fic lives in my brain ? i screamed about it on twitter every time you updated it. (a lot of people in the twt sfh fandom spoke about it and they only had nice things to say btw <3)

I actually suck at leaving comments; I don't know how to articulate just how much I enjoy the things I read and I get scared my feedback comes off as underwhelming. but anything and everything you write is so in-character and some of the closest things to canon I've read. you have no idea how happy I get when you post, literally anything?? you have such a good and unique understanding of their dynamic, sexual or not. I just adore your take on them and the way you characterise them in every fic to suit the setting (PRESSURE POINTS?? NO ANGEL SPEAKS TO ME???? HELLO?? HOW DID YOU DO THAT?)

as for homme fatale, it's HONESTLÉ one of my favourite fics in the fandom. OBJECTIVELY one of the best fics in the fandom. the pace was so realistic and true to the plot. the psychological aspect was written so so so well (especially the scene where jongwoo hallucinates his father - that was IT for me). and the buildup to the ending was INSANE. the ending itself was the only way I could see it going; it was canon-typical and sexy and absolutely glorious. ch19 starting with ep10's ending and then shifting to your own version ?? SEXY. fed into jongwoo's "author"ness. the whole thing is a masterpiece, a fandom classic, and I'm honoured to have read it.

also, the sexual dynamic was the farthest thing from 'wrong'. and I too would want moonjo to spit in my mouth.

the hits and kudos speak for themselves. please don't let anyone's unwarranted criticism get to you, especially when it's coming from people who (no offence) most likely don't even understand the characters properly.

#gfriendly #homme fatale #every tongue that rises against this fic shall fall!

Personal Rambling on BL fandoms and what not (unserious nature)

Watching Seungho stans and Jaekyung Stans on twitter fight each other over who is "better" is INSANELY HILARIOUS 😭😭😭 LIKE WHAT YOU MEEEEEAAANNNNN?!!!!?!!?? We are all going to hell, brothers and sisters and cousins. We already in hell. We roasting in hellfire. We partying with demons 😭😭😭 What do you mean yours or mine is less demonic and therefore more angelic LMAO

Now...I get it tho. I get it. I do hate it when fans compare Seungho to Sangwoo but that's coz I do not like Sangwoo. I couldn't finish KS, so, DO NOT take my dislike as proof of badly written character. My personal preferences don't reflect on the quality of stories. That's not what I am saying. But I am also NOT gonna say Seungho is better option than Sangwoo. Seungho-nim fucking killed a dude on the first chapter over a MINUTE MISUNDERSTANDING. Still, it doesn't change the fact that I find his unhinged-ness interesting so WHAT DO I KNOW. I gues I shouldn't judge those stans for fighting eo too. I might become one of them defending Seungho's demonic ass on my bad day.

NB: I know that KS is not considered BL or atleast that's what I hear the author herself said. I don't have a source of where she says that, so, take that with a grain of salt. I am just saying what I hear others say. I, personally, don't mind calling it BL tho coz BL is more like an umbrella term TO ME, that consists of various genres, be it romance, comedy, sci-fi, horror, or psychological. But if the author really said KS is not BL then it's not BL.

I just find it funny to see the SH and JK stans arguing like that. It shows how we get blinded by our own biases. I definitely do that too sometimes.

I am only recently getting into BL manhwa fandom. I have read POTN (ofc look at my profile pic, I am smitten), Ghost's Nocturne (the art style...MAJESTIC, and the horror elements??? OMG GIVE ME MORE), and Blood Bank (🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️). I like all of them! Still need to get myself updated with Define The Relationship and Wet Sand. Usually, atleast, in twitter danmei fandom sphere, bl manhwa don't have a...I guess the closest terms would be "good image". It is said they only have fucking and sucking. In fact, I only read POTN because of a meme I saw making fun of it and Jinx compared to danmei novels. And my monkey brain went: is it THAT bad?? Hmm... let's verify this claim. Queue, me getting obsessed with Seungkyum 🤡🤡 I think BL manhwas, just like JPN BL mangas, have their charm. You can say one is better if you want I guess but TO ME, it all depends on what I want to read. And my conclusion is: I WANT ALL OF THESE TO EXIST. I want the deep pining and suffering. I want the vivid stories and drama. I want the soft and caring lovers. I want the insanity and problematic favourites. I want the purity. I want the fucking and sucking. I want the "god honoring way" content and the "OMG somebody hose this with holy water" content. Really, I do think it's all dependent on my mood whether I would like this type of content on this day and time. You know, I am slowly discovering that...I might just like TRASH sometimes... Like, now if someone says "you got trash taste", I just go: huh...yeah that tracks. I can now proudly say that one should not take my liking of a piece of media as the proof of its high quality.

Everyday...I get more and more unserious.

PS: I would love some recommendations of your fav BL manhwas tho 🥹👉🏻👈🏻

#saya rambles. #twitter shenanigans #just me rambling on about problematic manhwa tops #well....their stans more specifically #and having something on bl manhwas in general #bl manhwa #boys love #bl fandom #twitter post

Genre: Angst/Romance/Family

Rating: E

Chapters: 1/1

Word Count: 4551

Status: Complete

Warnings: Gay, Slash, Yaoi, MLM, AU - Omegaverse, AU - A/B/O, A/B/O Dynamics, Omegaverse Dynamics, Angels And Demons, Ozzie’s Parents Suck, Unsanitary, Vomit, Vomiting, Fainting, Sexual Situations, Love Confessions, Angst, Established Relationship, Threats, Fantasy Racism, Religion, Blasphemy

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything except for Valore and Abstemiounessa.

Summary: Fizzarolli had never known Ozzie even had parents, much less that they'd be leaving Hell to meet them. Maybe he shouldn't have wanted to come so badly.

AN: Hey guys, it’s me again! Just thought I ought to say, if you want vague updates and to talk to me more, I have a Helluva Boss Tumblr, too! Twitter is Sunshinecackle, and Tumblr is Gimme-A-Thrust! I also have a writing Discord that is currently pretty dead. xD If you want it, please contact me on Tumblr/Twitter!

Alright, so, I’ve been toying with the idea of Ozzie’s Seraphim Royalty parents, since in one classification of demons he, alongside Beelzebub and Leviathan, were Seraphim princes. I have kind of combined a few different ones for the sake of it, to be honest. Demonology has always been a special interest of mine so this is fun for me. Regardless, Abstemiounessa (Ab-Steam-Ee-Oh-Ness-Uh) and Valore (Vale-Ore) are two of my newest OCs. 

This is going to be the first fic in a series of two, though I dunno if the second one is going to be a longshot or a chapter fic if I’m honest. At any rate, I love these two even if they’re absolutely assholes. They’re very pretty assholes.

30 Days Of Fizzarozzie Fic Masterlist

Fuck You Very Much

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Absolutely fucking not.” Ozzie’s voice was a loud, commanding growl, but Fizzarolli didn’t back down this time. He knew Ozzie would never hurt him, and so he felt comfortable in his defiance, standing his ground on the center island in the kitchen. Extending his legs, he kept himself just slightly lower than Ozzie’s eyes, his own cut into glowing slits as he pointed at him with a curved arm and sharp index finger.

“I’m going with you. You can’t just go to Earth alone!” Not like this, I don’t trust them went unsaid, because that was something wildly inappropriate for their relationship. It wasn’t like an imp could withstand a holy weapon; If Ozzie’s parents wanted to kill their son, the best Fizzarolli could do was be a demonic meat shield and hope for the best.

Anything for Ozzie.

The removal of his horns, arms, and legs in the name of lust, in the name of Ozzie’s pleasure, proved that, if nothing else. His devotion was wholly and intensely dedicated to Asmodeus, King of Lust, the best lay, the demon whose pores oozed sex appeal, the demon that understood him better than anyone. Olli chased any form of gratification, physical or otherwise, and his dogged faithfulness to Ozzie was due in part to that. Once one fucked literal lust himself, that was it. Nothing and nobody else could compare, and Ozzie had been gifted Olli’s virginity. He’d never been with anyone else, and he didn’t want to be.

“I’ll be fine, Olli Baby, it’s not that big a–”

“Don’t. You. Dare.” The authoritative tone from the imp before him took Ozzie aback, and he gazed at him with all three sets of eyes filled with intense scrutiny. Fizzarolli wasn’t the type to challenge him very often, he usually stuck to following Ozzie’s lead in most things, but if he put his foot down, he meant it, “I’m going with you and that’s the fucking end of it.”

For a moment, Ozzie simply gawked at him, his lips parted slightly, and it was the bull to move first. He nuzzled Fizzarolli’s cheek, followed by the goat head, and finally, the main one followed suit. The kiss he gave his imp was gentle, searching, needing something, some answer to a question malformed and ugly in his head. It lasted too long, made the air polluted by the acrid scent of upset that brought tears to Olli’s eyes, and finally, Ozzie pulled back.

“I… I don’t wanna see you get hurt.” He said this like he knew it was guaranteed that violence would befall them, and Fizzarolli thought he might be sick.

“So you know you’re going to get hurt, and you’re going alone anyway,” The thought made him gag and he had to take a moment to get himself back under control. Tears dripped down his cheeks that he willed away with all his heart but couldn’t stop them despite his best attempt, “And you want to leave me here to worry myself into an early grave.”

Those words pulled a loud snarl out of the King, who swiped up his imp into his arms and cradled him close to his face. Fizzarolli curled up against him on reflex, relishing in all three heads nuzzling and pressing close to him, unwilling to leave him be. However, he was still anxious, due to the growling, the dichotomy between the angry sounds and clingy behavior.

“Don’t you fucking say that. Don’t… Don’t say it. Never say that to me ever again.” Ozzie was terrified of what would happen to him when his mortal demon died. Eighty, ninety years might seem like a long time to Olli, but to Ozzie, it was the blink of an eye. He didn’t want to think about it, and he didn’t want to think of the other dying today, “You’re not fucking dying on me.” Not yet.

Blinking in confusion for a moment, Olli pushed lightly at the other’s face, and his little heart broke when he saw tears in Asmodeus’ eyes. His lower lip wobbled, and a couple of tears broke free, sliding down his lilac fur, and Olli kissed him again. It was desperate, passionate, an attempt to fix the problem he’d gone and created. Anything for Ozzie. Seeing him so bereaved at the mere thought of him getting hurt had his entire plan melting away from his mind, and for a moment they just sobbed together. Dampening their cheeks, sticking Ozzie’s fur to Olli’s face, they held on tight to one another with Olli’s arms and legs securing them together tightly.

When the crying finally ended, Olli was choking on his own snot, and Ozzie was a fountain of mucus, tears, and saliva. Letting Olli blow his nose, Ozzie didn’t dislodge him from his arms, keeping him close to his chest. Tomorrow was going to be a nightmare if Olli wouldn’t drop it and went with him, he was going to be a Satan damned mess, but it didn’t matter. Apparently, this was a hill he was ready to die on (the thought nearly killed Ozzie on the spot), and Ozzie couldn’t fight his whims forever. It was so often that Olli got exactly what he wanted because Ozzie struggled with telling him ‘no’ for very long.

That night, they went to bed without more than Ozzie gorging himself on Fizzarolli’s cock in a way that told Olli he’d upset him. His scent, spiced and warm as it was, was tinged with a damp, almost salty stench that kept making him flag. Somehow, he still racked up eight orgasms before finally falling asleep with a pounding headache. Neither of them was used to crying, which meant they weren’t capable of handling this on their own.

Ozzie’s need-induced insomnia was a problem he remedied with his pump, inserting his cock into the sleeve attached to the hose with a low moan. He wasn’t as interested as he could have been, should have been, but it didn’t stop him from sliding the vibrating wand deep inside his pussy and settling it there. His hips rolled up as he turned on both toys, and after a couple of desperately needed orgasms, Ozzie finally fell into a nightmare-plagued sleep. Sometime during the night, Fizzarolli curled up on his chest, and his dreams were batted away by the familiar warmth and weight of him there.

The next morning, neither of them were willing to talk about the overwhelmingly emotional night before, least of all the King himself. Ozzie had been awake for hours before Fizzarolli was, unable to keep himself asleep, and he wasted the time until his lover woke with the smutty novel he’d been reading. If he so much as slightly disturbed the imp asleep on his chest, he felt like he just might lose touch with reality.

Whatever he was feeling was so intense that he knew what it was, and he ached with it. He had tried to fight it, had tried his best to ignore it, to not harsh their vibe, to keep this so far away from Fizzarolli that he would never know about it. The seared wound of his ultimate rejection ripped open on its own like a chasm opened by an intense earthquake, and Ozzie struggled to focus on anything else, much less his book. Could he even keep himself from saying it at this point? Fizzarolli was still intent on going with him, on staying with him while he met with his parents, and he was terrified of it. They wouldn’t be happy, which didn’t bother him, except that they had a tendency to try and get rid of things they disliked. Ozzie knew that well.

When Fizzarolli began to stir against his chest, he took a deep breath. The words were on his tongue already, but he didn’t know what was going to come out due to the jumble of emotions in his chest. He’d been thinking about it while trying to focus on what he was reading, and it just wasn’t working. A soft smile worked onto his face, but it looked pained, and Olli yawned behind one of his hands, twisting his neck until he heard a few satisfying cracks.

“Somethin’ wro– Wrong, Babe?” Olli asked on another yawn, repeating himself after a second as he stretched his back out, lifting his ass into the air and shaking it a little. Maybe he was showing off, hoping that Ozzie would feel better if they replaced all those hard feelings with sex. That was usually how the elder coped with things, he did so much better if he could just get in a couple good fucks while talking about serious topics. Otherwise, he got flighty and uncomfortable, and it was just another thing that Olli found endearing about him. 

Ozzie tried to be a strong, powerful demon but emotions were his kryptonite.

“I’ve just been… Thinking.” Ozzie replied, placing the bookmark back in the same place it had been when he’d picked the book up. Setting it aside, he closed his eyes, the bull and goat at the sides of his head nuzzling against his own neck. He was going to die for this, wasn’t he? Somehow it didn’t feel as bad as the idea that Fizzarolli would die if he took him to see his parents.

“What’s up?” If Ozzie was this stiff and uncomfortable, then that meant it was Olli’s job to try and help him. Glancing over at the other’s crotch, he bit his lip, but Ozzie drew his face back to look at him with a light pinch to his chin.

“I…” The words tried to march out of his mouth, but every last one got caught in the dry, cracked desert that was his tongue and perished. For a moment he looked like he might vomit, and Fizzarolli rose to sit up on his hip, both hands buried in the other’s chest fluff, “I just… I…”

“Babe, it’s okay,” Fizzarolli began, extending one arm to pet his face gently, a soft, genuine smile on his face that set Ozzie’s heart to fluttering and plummeting into his feet simultaneously, “Whatever it is, just tell me. I won’t judge you.”

But you so will Ozzie thought dimly, sighing in a put upon away as he finally shifted a bit. Fizz could hear his pump adjusting and he glanced over at the enclosed vats at the side of the bed. Part of him wondered if he should go ahead and try to turn him on again, but he didn’t know if now was the time. Ozzie just looked so grim, and Fizz had never seen him like that before, even when he’d been upset in the past. There was something different about this, and he didn’t know what it was, but he was desperate to fix it.

“I… Need to tell you something important. And… When I say it… If… If you need to leave just do it quick.”

Leave? This had Fizzarolli sitting up fully, furrowing his brow as he regarded his lover. It might be too early for this kind of thing, but it was surprisingly sobering to see the other behaving like this.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Fizzarolli promised, his expression serious as he looked between each of Ozzie’s ashamed faces. That wasn’t right, Ozzie never accepted shame in his life, and whatever had him so fucked up was about to turn the pacifist into a warrior.

Yeah, fucking right. Ozzie didn’t see a way out of this that wasn’t going to kill him.

“I think… I think I’m in…” ‘I think’ didn’t feel like it still went that, “I’minlovewithyou.” He couldn’t separate the words, if he didn’t vomit them up then they’d never come out. 

Stunned where he sat, Fizzarolli stared at him with wide pink eyes glowing dimly in the bedroom’s low light. Ozzie’s eyes shifted and none of his heads could look at Fizzarolli, his heart hammering in his chest making the silence feel deafening. Finally, Olli started to sit up, and instead of getting off of Ozzie, the imp let himself tumble into the other’s lap.

Still silent, Olli watched in slow motion as Ozzie lifted him and set him down on the silky teal pillow beside the one he always used. The blanket was removed from the Sin’s hips, and he turned off his pump with a sigh, then another one, and he flinched. Removing the toy and the sleeve from himself, he set them aside for cleaning and threw his legs over the side of the bed. Holding onto the mattress tight enough they both heard a distinct rip, he heaved another sigh, closing his eyes to fight the tears welling in them again. Crying again wasn’t high on his list of desires right now, but he knew he didn’t have much of a choice, now.

“Just… I’ll send your stuff wherever you want me to, it’s still all yours. We can find you an apartment, and you can still work at the club. …Or we can move you to a different one. Just… Be gone when I get back. I need–” His voice cracked and Olli’s eyes went wide, immediately heartsick, “I need to be alone.”

Stooping to open the metal and glass top of the pump’s containment unit, he lifted out one full, heavy glass tank, then the other. Fizzarolli hesitated again, before biting his lip. Did Ozzie really mean that? All of it? He was kicking him out over this? All of his prosthetics shot out to wrap around one of Ozzie’s large upper arms and he lurched forward to cling to him, nuzzling his face into his fur.

“You want me to go ‘cause you’re in love with me?” Fizz finally asked, muffled by his face smooshed against him, closing his eye as he pressed his cheek into the other’s bicep after a second, “I don’t want to go. I’m just… Shocked, I guess. Didn’t think you could love something like me.” 

All he could think of was every time someone had been thrown out for saying they loved Ozzie, and here he was, confessing to the feelings he so often claimed to hate. It almost hurt that Ozzie thought he was rejecting him because he’d never do that, it was so far from his mind he hadn’t even thought of it.

Olli calling himself something kept bothering Ozzie, though, and he finally reached over to pry Olli off of him and cradle him in his arms instead, pressing their foreheads together.

“You aren’t just some thing. I… I don’t think I could go on without you.” The admission actually surprised him and he blinked a couple of times, unsure of if he should have said it. He’d have to learn to move on eventually, but he couldn’t lose him, now, it was way too soon, “You’ve completed me for eleven years, now. It took some time but I…” Trailing off, he finally shook his head, rubbing their faces together, “That’s why I can’t take you with me today.”

“We already talked about this,” Olli growled, “I’m going with you because I love you, too. I don’t want you to go alone, I want to be there in case you need me to back you up.”

As if Fizzarolli could really do anything against angelic royalty.

“Do you really think you could help…?” Ozzie questioned, his heads tilting a little bit as he finally let Olli move to become his cuddly scarf. Taking his vats one by one to the bathroom and dumping them, he didn’t mind when Fizzarolli scooped his hands into one of them to steal some cum to drink. Honestly, they could both probably use some stress relief, and he considered their options absentmindedly.

“I can at least be a supportive scarf.” He explained, “I know you’re nervous, and if you think there’s going to be a fight…” Fizzarolli trailed off to take another pull from his cupped hands, relishing in the cum sliding down his throat, “I don’t want you to be injured with no one there to help you.” Even if blood made him intensely sick and dizzy, he could at least call for Brick.

Ozzie’s expression softened and he nodded finally, dumping the last of his cum out and washing it down the drain. Much as he thought it was a waste, Fizzarolli knew he couldn’t drink all of what Ozzie produced in a night. He could barely handle drinking down one orgasm at a time, but a lot of that had to do with the speed at which it came out usually.

“If you’re not going to drop it I guess I don’t have a choice, do I?” He asked absently, thoughtful as he finally straightened up to wash out the large glass jars, “We’d better shower and… I think I could go for giving you a blowjob or eight... And eat your ass until you cry.”

“You really want me to cry again?” Fizz laughed, and Ozzie snickered a little, carrying Olli to the large shower stall. The rainfall shower-head cascaded over Ozzie as he laid his lover down on the large stone bench built into the wall, licking his chops as he gazed at his newly bared form. In a matter of minutes, Ozzie was pulling moans and orgasms out of his imp to try and return to some semblance of normalcy. By the time they were finally out of the shower, the water ran cold and they were running late on getting ready to go.

Ozzie couldn't stop appreciating the purple laces on the rainbow-striped bellbottom pants Fizzarolli wore, and he licked his lips. The sparkly, pastel rainbow platform boots were strappy in all the right places but only peeked out from beneath his pants. Perhaps both of their favorite part was the black hoodie that looked plain until you saw it from the back. 'GAY SEX PREVENTS ABORTIONS SUCK A COCK FOR JESUS' glared out at the world in white letters, and Ozzie thought it was perfect for meeting his parents.

Likewise, Olli kept running his hands over the lilac fishnet reaching out from beneath the cropped turtleneck that Ozzie wore. The tight black shirt stretched down his arms but bared everything from just under his pecs down to the thick, shiny leather waistband clinging to his hips. It showed off his Adonis belt, and only had a simple, thick strip of leather that wasn't see-through in the front. Two belts kept the sheer material strapped to his thighs, while the back was entirely the shiny pleather. It vacuum-sealed to Ozzie's ass and dick just right, and even in his human disguise showed off just how toned he was.

Those ugly-ass shoes set off the outfit in a way that would be impossible for anyone else. Platforms with a chunky heel coated in sequins that could change colors by being rubbed were complete with a sneaker sole underneath the toes. It went from black to a sharp pink strip, then into yellow stripes to hold the laces in place. Shiny blue sparkles crawled from beneath the laces out to swirl around the front of the shoe to the back, dropping down to the dark purple heel. Gold separated the pink, heel, and blue from one another, shimmering more than the rest of the sparkly leather and plastic. Olli had changed the heel from dark purple to lavender four times since they arrived on Earth, probably somewhat from nerves.

On anyone else, that would have been hideous, but Ozzie worked anything that he wore like it was made for him. Absolutely anything. Ozzie could make a garbage bag look elegant.

The thick fur on his arms, chest, and sideburns (there was no way that that was just hair) guided the eye to the goatee on Ozzie’s handsome face. His olive skin set off the dark brown hair that was nearly black, and his easy grins and flirtatious smiles charmed anyone that looked at him. Conversely, Fizzarolli was a thin little thing with long red hair pulled into low pigtails on either shoulder, braided carefully on their way up to Earth. While Ozzie was still a fairly tall man, he was closer to Fizzarolli’s size, able to wrap his arm around him for once.

“...There they are.” Ozzie sighed, gesturing to the boardwalk ahead of them.

Standing at the railing were two tall, olive-skinned people speaking quietly amongst themselves. They gestured out to the ocean and pointed things out to their other half, and Ozzie gulped softly at the sight of them. The woman had impossibly long, wavy white-blonde hair and a delicate face with high cheekbones. Ozzie’s father had sharp, chiseled features and broad shoulders like his son, standing with his hand around his wife’s waist. Their clothes were opulent, matching, and white with gold trim, and clearly something Ozzie would never be caught dead in. 

Fizzarolli tried to imagine him in something draped over him like that, with a high collar and fancy, detailed stitching.

Upon finally approaching them, Ozzie took a deep breath through his mouth and let it out through his nose before clearing his throat; Ozzie struggled with and ultimately failed not to flinch when the couple turned around to regard them. His mother’s striking amethyst eyes had him looking down at her mouth, up at her forehead, anything but those eyes, and his father’s chartreuse eyes nearly bore holes through him. It wasn’t until their attention shifted to the imp at Ozzie’s side that Olli found his eyes on the ground, too.

Ozzie had every right to be worried about his parents. They were beautiful, sure, but Olli could feel the power dripping from their every pore, and as they gazed at him, he could tell he wasn’t welcome here. 

“What is that?” His mother asked, lip drawn up in disgust as she gestured to Fizzarolli, taking a step back and smoothing her soft, shimmering gown over her stomach. For a second, Olli thought she was convinced he might give her a disease just by looking at her.

“Mother,” Ozzie growled, holding Olli closer, “This is Fizzarolli. He’s a full-time companion of mine.” Yeah, that wasn’t a lie, but it was at the same time, “Fizzarolli,” His parents didn’t get to hear his nicknames, “Abstemiounessa and Valore. Mother, Father, my…” Hesitating for a couple seconds, he finally spoke the word into being, cementing what he thought about his lover in a definitive tone, “Boyfriend.”

Valore’s expression fell flat for a moment as he looked over the couple, sniffing the air to catch the Alpha’s scent. Put off by it, he had to take a second before finally devolving into a deep, loud belly laugh. It even seemed to shock his wife, who looked at him like he was growing a second head and hadn’t noticed

“Very, very funny son,” The dark-haired man wiped a tear of mirth from his eye, “Be serious. It’s a servant, right?”

“It?” Ozzie’s expression was flat and he rose a brow, his eyes nearly glowing with the amount of unhappiness in it, “He is mine, and he’s not a servant.” 

His scent tinted with displeasure, and Olli couldn’t help but purr at his side, rubbing his scent gland against the other’s shoulder in an attempt to appease his bad mood. The absentminded grooming had his mother stumbling back a little bit, her expression one of shock and dismay as she gripped the railing with a soft gag. Turning slightly, she pulled her hair back and over one shoulder in an attempt to keep it safe if she did vomit.

“You’re making your poor mother sick. You? Dating a… A pest like that?” The sneer on his father’s face made Ozzie’s eyes narrow and his words came out on a subvocal growl.

“Fuck off with that bullshit.” He hadn’t been in love for over two thousand years, but what he had with Fizzarolli had snuck up on him. If it had been a serpent, it would have bit him. Still, it didn’t end the low snarling that vibrated his chest, despite Olli’s best attempts at comforting him, “Did you want to talk to me, or did you want to see us for a few minutes and leave before I can give you your usual ‘no?’”

Abstemiounessa went stiff, narrowing her eyes as she took in the slim, potentially very breakable Alpha at her son’s side. Her eyes danced with a mischievous flame that Ozzie didn’t like, and he stepped in front of Olli until he was almost completely hidden behind him.

“Why would you ignore us, my son?” She asked, her voice lofty as she raised a delicate hand like she might touch his cheek. About a foot away from him, she shook her head, hair flowing in a beautiful cascade of white waves down her back, hand falling back to her side, “We just want what is best for you.”

“You’ve never cared before.” Their invested interest in forcing him to return to Heaven to grovel at the feet of the first being to ever break his heart was an entirely selfish one. When he wasn’t in their presence but thought of them, he thought that Levi would be proud of them, maybe Lucifer, too. Ozzie disliked selfishness in almost every situation, and his own parents disgusted him, “I’ve slept with more people than I could count on every hand in Hell. I don’t see why you think it’s so bad that I’ve started dating. I thought you preferred monogamy.”

Not that he was particularly monogamous, even still.

Every time he mentioned dating, or being Fizzarolli’s boyfriend, the imp thought he might pass out. It was so overwhelming, the amount of joy that he felt over just hearing this, and he couldn’t stop purring and gazing adoringly at his lover. It was going to make the Angelic Royalty puke, and Valore kept glancing at his wife like he was afraid she would faint.

“Dear,” Abstemiounessa began, her voice poisoned honey as she ran a dainty hand over her forehead, the other one wrapped around the railing behind her, “We love yo–”

“We’re leaving.” Ozzie wasn’t above dragging Olli to an alleyway and back home, because he was done before their guilt-tripping had even started. The angels stood there, watching their son leave with frustrated sighs and upset clucks.

“It’s going to be harder to convince him, now,” Valore stated, his eyes narrowing as he watched them disappear into a portal back to Hell.

“We’ll get him.” Abstemiounessa replied flippantly, tossing her hair over her shoulder as she started for a building behind the boardwalk, “It shouldn’t be too hard despite this… Unfortunate development. If he feels anything for the vermin attached to his hip, he’ll listen the next time we see him.”

Interested, her husband followed along behind her, entering the portal she opened in the back of a shop they often used for this sort of thing. Ozzie always chose to meet in the human world, as they couldn’t openly show who they were and it guaranteed more safety for him. At least, it usually did. The next time they met up, Valore and Abstemiounessa would be prepared, and Ozzie wouldn’t know what hit him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

AN: Ope, that one ended up so much longer than I thought it would. Buuuut I had a lot of fun with it, even if a lot of it made me cry. I love the premise of this, and I have a follow-up fic that will be coming… Eventually. I might look into it more after September is over, since I don’t have a lot of time outside of working on these right now.

Update Time

Hi there, Tumblr! Long-winded post incoming, but I’ll throw in the TL;DR right here at the beginning so you don’t have to click the expando-button or whatever (assuming you’ve got that setting on). Basically, I’m gonna try to publish a new short piece soon, then I’m gonna take a month or so to get back into a good writing flow, in the meantime I’m gonna try to use Tumblr better than I have thus far, and I have no earthly flipping clue what I’mma do with my Twitter account. That’s all the main points, so for those who actually wanna take the time to read this full thing, thank you and let’s go!

Okay, so, this is a bit out of order from the summary but I’m gonna make a promise real quick. I promise I’m gonna start posting updates and random stuff more frequently, rather than just leaving everything and everyone hanging for the whole month between each of my “Hey, I made a thing!” posts. I may only have one follower on each of my social medias thus far (and I’m pretty sure they’re two different people), but if they’re actually interested in my stuff at all I really shouldn’t be leaving them in the dark. That, and if I really care about getting more people interested in me and my work, then I need to get on top of my crap and put out more content for people to get interested in. Besides, I’ve come to realize that Tumblr pages are called “blogs” for a reason. A lotta people use their pages as a space to empty the contents of their brains into, sending their thoughts out into the ether without much worry about what’ll happen to it afterwards. I’m not trying to say I’m gonna start being completely care-free about what I post, but I think I should start being more open and at the very least start sharing some random thoughts to fill the void between those aforementioned exclamations of “Hey, I made a thing!” You know, start treating it like an actual blog rather than just a place to announce stuff...

...That being said, I did make a thing, and I’m gonna post it either tonight or tomorrow night. Another big thing I’m concerned about with what all I’ve been doing is how I’ve missed my goal of “the second Monday of the month” twice in a row now. In my defense, the second Monday came a lot quicker this month than it did last month if I remember right, but since I also missed it last month and I’ve technically had these posts planned out in advance, I’ll be the first to admit that’s not a good excuse.

What do I mean when I say “I’ve technically had these posts planned out in advance”? Well, to be honest, all the short stories I’ve posted thus far have been pieces I made a long time ago. I haven’t actually done much writing these past four months, I’ve just been editing things I had stockpiled and posting them on a regular basis. To be fair, the whole point behind doing only monthly posts in the first place (though I’m only just now telling anyone this) was because I wanted to do this at a pace that I knew I could manage during periods of low productivity due to busy-ness. Worst case scenario, I get a bunch of stuff prepared when I have a burst of high productivity and put it all out one-piece-at-a-time until I either run out of content or reach my next spell of high-productivity, whichever comes first. The “Second Monday of the Month” was just a specific point in time (that usually falls in the middle of a month) which I decided would be a good time to schedule these posts. I didn’t wanna promise something more frequent than once-a-month for fear of immediately failing to keep that pace up, but I also didn’t wanna just post randomly for fear of turning off people who would dislike inconsistency. Least I could do was come up with some kind of schedule that people could follow, and do my best to stick to it so that people know I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth just because I’ve been inactive for a little while. But, I understand now that I probably wouldn’t need an exact schedule if I just A) promised to put out one piece per month at any point in that month and B) kept people updated on what’s going on with my stuff via some semi-frequent posts. I mean, we’re talking short fiction here, so these things shouldn’t typically be taking a whole month anyways, unless I’m slow that month or I insist on getting a boatload of feedback before finalizing a third or fourth draft and posting it. Even if I were working on these as we were going along, something that might happen soon since my stockpile doesn’t have much left, it honestly shouldn’t be taking me all that long to make them in the first place.

Sorry, that was a bit of rambling, but I think what I’m getting at here is that it shouldn’t be hard to get a good writing flow going. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do here pretty soon. I’m gonna take about a month, meaning I might not post another piece next month (not for a lack of content, I have one last prepped story I could throw in there, but I think I’ll save that and focus on getting some new writing done during that time), to get back into a writing groove of sorts. I’m gonna reacquaint myself with some of the Discord writing communities that I admittedly haven’t been very active in recently, possibly join another one for a fresh start and a new place to advertise myself, and try to use the resources in those places to get inspiration and get back into writing regularly. With a plethora of writing contests and prompts and such to help me out, I’ll try to strengthen my creative muscles and get some new content flowing with more frequent writing.

So... yeah. That’s about it. New thing coming soon, gonna start writing new stuff more frequently, gonna use Tumblr more frequently... Oh, yeah, the Twitter thing. To be honest, since I obviously can’t do the same posts on Twitter that I’m gonna start doing here (this one, for example, is probably worth more than ten Tweets and I don’t think I have the patience for that much copying and pasting), I have no clue what I’m gonna do with my Twitter. Beyond announcement posts, the only things I know Twitter to be good for are deeper conversations that occur across a string of posts, and quick, witty, funny posts. I’m not very confident in my ability to discuss serious topics (especially on Twitter of all places), and while I’d like to think I’m a fairly funny dude, I don’t think I’m funny consistenly enough to come up with multiple good joke Tweets on a regular basis. As such, I’m gonna focus more of my effort into Tumblr for now and I’ll figure out something interesting for my Twitter later. I have been dabbling in digital art a bit, so maybe that’d be a good place to post that stuff... I’ll get back to you on that idea.

And there you have it, long post over. Almost spent more time writing this than I’ve spent writing anything else this week, so I’ll try to get back to work. If you read this whole thing you deserve something, so uh... If you Reblog or Reply with the word “pomegranate” I’ll Like it and maybe also Follow you, I guess? Is that a good thing to do on this site, or is asking for interaction a faux paw here? I also feel like that “pomegranate” idea is maybe a bit more work than it’s worth... Whatever, thanks anyways and I hope y’all have a good day, week, month, and year going forward!

On racial stereotyping of the Haans in TMA...

Right so as someone who is ethnically Chinese I have NO FUCKING clue how I didn’t notice this more distinctly in my initial binge of tma (going too fast and not paying closer attention to character names and descriptions, probably) but the Haan family storyline is, all horror elements aside, pretty fucked up in terms of racial representation re: stereotyping. This got long as hell, but please please please take a moment to read through if you’ve got time for it. thanks.

To start off, the Haans are one of the few characters in tma with an explicitly specified race and ethnicity—Chinese—and pretty much the only explicitly Chinese characters in tma, other than the mostly unimportant librarian (Zhang Xiaoling) from Beijing. But like, Haan isn’t even a properly Chinese surname, at least not in the way that it’s spelled in canon (it should be Han, one a. A quick google search tells me that Haan as a surname has...Dutch origins??).

Of course, that could be chalked up to shoddy anglicization processes within family histories, which certainly isn’t uncommon with immigrant families, so I’m not going to dwell on names too much (although I also find it interesting that John Haan’s name is so specifically and weirdly anglicized that he changed his own surname?? Hun Yung to John Haan is a very big leap of a name change and frankly not very believable. ANYWAY, this is not that important. I don’t expect Jonny, a white Englishman, to come up with perfectly unquestionable non-Cho-Chang-like Chinese names, though it certainly would be nice. Moving on).

What really bothers me about the Haans is how they almost exclusively and explicitly play into negative Chinese immigrant stereotypes. I don’t even feel like I need to say it because it’s like...it’s literally Right There, folks. John Haan (in ep 72) owns and operates a sketchy takeout restaurant. They’re all avatars of the Flesh—and John Haan is Specifically horrific and terrifying because he cooked his wife’s human meat and fed it to his unknowing customers. Does that remind you of any stereotypes which accuse Chinese people of consuming societally unacceptable and ethically questionable things like dog/cat/bat meat (which, if it’s not already crystal fucking clear, we don’t. do that.), which in turn characterize us as horrible unfeeling monsters? John Haan’s characterization feeds (haha, badum tss) directly into this harmful stereotype that have caused very real pain for Chinese people and East Asians in general. 

And Jonny does nothing to address that from within his writing (and not out of it either). And, speaking on a more meta level, Jonny could’ve easily had these flesh avatars be individuals of any race (like, what’s Jared Hopworth’s ethnicity? Do we know? No? Well then). Conversely, he could’ve easily, easily had a Chinese person be an avatar of any other entity. So why did he have to chose specifically the Flesh?

(This is a rhetorical question. You know why. Racial stereotyping and invoking a fear of the other in an attempt to enhance horror, babey~)

On Tom Haan’s side, Jonny seems weirdly intent on having other characters repeatedly comment on his accent (or rather, lack thereof) in relation to his race. Think about how, in ep 30 (killing floor), the fact that Tom Haan had spoken a line to the statement giver in “perfect English” was an emphasized beat in that statement, and a beat that was supposed to be “chilling” and meant to signify to us that something was, quote-unquote, “not right” with Tom Haan. Implicitly, that’s saying that it was unexpected, not “normal”, and in this case even eerie, for someone who looks Chinese to have spoken in fluid, unbroken English. Mind you, the line itself was perfectly scary on its own (“you cannot stop the slaughter by closing the door”), so why did Jonny feel the need to note the accent in which it was spoken in? Why did Jonny HAVE to have that statement giver note, that he initially “wasn’t even sure how much English [Haan] spoke”? 

This happens again in episode 72 with a Chinese man (and again, his ethnicity is Explicitly Noted) who we assume is also Tom Haan. This one is rather ironically funny and kind of painfully self aware, because the statement giver expresses surprise at Haan’s “crisp RP accent” and then immediately “felt bad about making the assumption that he couldn’t speak English,” and subsequently admitted that thought was “low-key racist.” Like, from a writing perspective, this entire passage is roundabout, pointless, and says absolutely nothing helpful to enhance the horror genre experience for listeners (instead it just sounded like some sort of half-assed excuse so Jonny or other listeners could say “look! We’ve addressed the racism!” You didn’t. It just made me vaguely uncomfortable). And again, having other people comment on our accents/lack thereof while assuming we are foreign is a Very Real microaggression that east asians face on the daily. If Jonny needed some filler sentences for pacing he could’ve written about Literally anything else. So why point out, yet again, that the crazy murderous man was foreign and Chinese? 

At this point, you might say, right, but yknow, it was just that the statement givers were kind of racist! It happens! Yeah sure, ok, that’s a passable in-universe explanation for descriptions of Tom Haan (though not John Haan, mind you), but the statement givers are fake made up people, and statement’s still written by Jonny, who absolutely has all the power to write overt discrimination out of his stories. And he does! Think about just how many minor (and major!!) characters are so, so carefully written as completely aracial, and do not have their ethnicity implicated at all in whatever horrors they may or may not be committing. Think about how many lgbtq+ characters have given statements, and have been in statements, without having faced direct forms of discrimination, or portrayed as embodying blatant stereotypes in their stories (though lgbtq+ rep in tma certainly has their own issues that I won’t go into here). Jonny can clearly write characters this way, and he can do it well. So why, why, am I being constantly, repeatedly reminded in-text of the fact that the Haans are East Asian, that they’re from China, that they’re Chinese immigrants, that they’re second-generation British Chinese or whatever the fuck, and that they’re also horrifying conduits for blood, gore, and general fucked-up-ness? It’s absolutely not something that is Needed for the stories to be an effective piece of horror; the only thing it does is perpetuate incredibly harmful and hurtful stereotypes.

And listen, I love tma to bits. It’s taken over my blog. I’ve really loved my interactions with the fandom. And I am consistently blown away by Jonny’s writing and how well he’s able to weave foreshadowing and plot into an incredibly complex collection of stories. But I absolutely Cannot stop thinking about the Haans because it’s just. It’s such a blatant display of racial stereotyping in writing. And I’ve certainly seen a few voices talking about it here and there, and I don’t know if I’m just not looking in the right places, but it certainly feels like something that is just straight up not on the radar for a lot of tma fans. And I’m disappointed about that. 

Just, I don’t know. Take a look at those episodes again and do some of your own thinking about why these characters had to be specifically Chinese (answer: they didn’t.). And in general, PLEASE for the love of god turn a critical eye on character portrayals and descriptions whenever they are assigned specific races/ethnicities (Some examples that come to mind are Jude Perry, Annabelle Cane, and Diego Molina), because similar issues, to an extent, extend beyond the Haans, though I haven’t covered them here. 

You shouldn’t need a POC to do point out these problems for you when they’re so glaringly There. But for those of you who really didn’t know, hope this was informative in some way. I’m tired, man. If some of the only significant Chinese characters you write are violent cannibalistic men with a perverted relationship with meat, just don’t do it. Please don’t do it. 

EDIT: Since the making of this post Jonny has acknowledged and apologized for these portrayals on his twitter and in the Rusty Quill Operations Update, which went up September 2020. A long time coming, but better late than never. This of course doesn’t necessarily negate the harm done by Jonny’s writing, and doesn’t make me much less angry about it, but is appreciated nonetheless. For more on this topic there’s a lot of productive discussions happening in my “#tma crit” tag and in the notes of this post

[thechekhov]

Hi Chekhov! Really enjoying your white diamond au! I had a quick art question: How do you start comissions? I've been improving my drawing skills and thinking about drawing for others after having fun in artfight, but I don't know where to start? How much to charge, how to get paid, etc. Do you have any tips? Hope you're doing well! :)

Alright, since a few people have asked, I’ve decided to put together a few things about how to get started on commissions - what you need, what you should make, and how to keep things organized. 

This will get a little long, so I’ll divide it into 4 main sections:

1) Draw Art - Getting started

2) Get Commissioned - Making a commission sheet, Advertising

3) ??? - Communicating, Setting Limits, Running the Business

4) Profit - Pricing Yourself and Getting Paid

* Disclaimer: I’m an artist, so this How-To will be illustration-focused. I’m sure many of these tips can apply to ANY types of commissions, but I will be focusing on the type I know best. If you are proficient in other types of commissions for other types of art - music commissions, photography, etc - feel free to chime in and leave a comment or make your own tutorial!

1) Draw Art

I think this is probably the most obvious part, but it needs to be said:

Before you start making art for other people, you must first be comfortable making art in general.

I’m not saying your art has to be Disney-quality, or industry-level! Not at all. 

BUT! You must be comfortable creating what you sell. If you try to sell something you have little confidence in, you will stress yourself out and possibly end up losing time AND money.

Don’t shoot for the moon if you haven’t landed on it even once. Sell what you know you’re good at. Your commissions don’t HAVE to include full-body illustrations if you don’t know how to draw feet/solid stances. Limit yourself to what you can do.

Things you need to should probably have before starting commissions:

1. Access to art materials or a fully downloaded art program

DO NOT - Use a free tutorial version that will expire in a month and leave you without a way to draw! If you are having trouble finding a program, try free ones like MediBang Paint Pro. 

2. Free time to complete the amount of commissions you want to take.

DO NOT - Take on or offer commissions if you KNOW you’re going to be overwhelmed with school or personal life for the next 2+ months. Pace yourself, otherwise you’ll burn out, get stressed, and get discouraged.

3. A reliable way to communicate with your customers like a commissions-only email 

DO NOT - Use your friend/family/college email. It’s hard to keep track of things as it is, and creating new emails is easy and free. And keep it professional if you can! Not many people will reach out to dong-wiggles20434 to ask for a design. Ideally, your email should be close to your brand - however you want to brand yourself. Usernames are fine!)

DO NOT - Use Instagram/Twitter/Tumblr to collect commission info unless you are ready to do the organizing yourself. Some people make it work, but in my experience, if you use these SNS sites to communicate with friends and network... you’re going to be losing commission inquiries right and left and accidentally ignoring people. Email is much easier to organize and sort into folders.

4. A portfolio or at least 2-3 pieces of each type of art you’re planning to sell. 

DO NOT - Advertise commissions without having any examples of the art you plan to sell. People will find it difficult to trust you if you can’t even give them a vague idea of what sort of drawing they’ll be getting. 

Disclaimer: These are not hard ‘do not’s. If you have had a different experience, I respect that. I’m simplifying for the sake of streamlining this advice. 

.

2) Get Commissioned

So - you have your art, you have your art program, and you’ve got all the time in the world. That means.... that’s right! It’s time to let the world know you’re taking commissions.

One of the most common ways artists signal to their audience that they can do commissions is by creating a commissions sheet. There are MANY ways to make this - and they range from simple and doodly ones to VERY complex designs. For example, here’s mine! 

There are many ways to organize a commission sheet. At its core, a commission sheet should display the types of art you WANT to be commissioned to make. Let’s go over a few ways they can be done!

#1.... Body Portion Dividers!

This sheet is most common with those who want to capitalize on drawing people and characters. If you want to draw lots of characters, this is a great way to offer several tiers of pricing based on how much of their character your customers want to see. 

#2... Complexity Scale

If you’re open to drawing many things but want to base your pricing off of how complex something is, you can split your tiers into done-ness. This type of commission is popular with those that draw characters AND animals, furries, etc.

#3....  Style and Type

If you’re more on the design side of things, or if you have various niche art styles that you can’t quite lump together, display a variety of your skills alongside each other! It helps if all the ones you have can be organized under a common customer - like those looking to advance their own business and get logos, websites, or mascots made for them!

.

3) ???

You got your first commission... what happens now???

Well, ideally you have the time, tools and motivation to make things happen! Now all you have to do is... sit down and... draw.......

I’m going to say something that may be a little controversial: 

Commissions aren’t fun. 

No, no, hear me out: I have fun doing commissions! I genuinely enjoy drawing characters and coming up with designs. But even with all that said, commissions are, first and foremost: WORK

I’m not saying this to discourage you, I’m saying this to keep things realistic. When I first began commissions, I thought it would be just like any other type of drawing. I would sit down, imagine a thing, draw it... it would be fun! 

But then I realized that I couldn’t just draw what I wanted - another person had an idea in mind and had asked me to do it. I stressed over getting the design correct from descriptions. I stressed over not having the right reference for the pose the commissioner wanted. I stressed over not being able to draw the leg right in the way I had promised I would do. I stressed about billing. I stressed about digital money transfers. It was difficult, and time-consuming, and I did not enjoy it. At all. 

And a part of that is definitely on the commissioner - we, as artists, NEED to demand proper references or descriptions. We, as artists, NEED to limit the amount of changes we’re going to make at the flick of a finger. We NEED to demand clear instructions and set boundaries. That’s also super important. 

But also - don’t be discouraged if you find yourself exhausted drawing your first commission. MANY artists go through this. Adjust your rules, fix up your limits, practice putting your foot down on finicky commissioners who expect you to read their mind! It does get easier, but you have to communicate and put in the effort and act as your own manager AND your own customer service AND your own accountant. That’s what you’re looking at. 

Good limits and boundaries to set: 

Limit the amount of changes a person can ask to make. “I want blue hair.” Next email: “No wait, yeah, make it red.” Next email: “Actually I changed my mind, can I get the blue but like, lighter?” Next email: “No, not that light.” ... At some point, we have to stop. I personally allow 2-3 changes on the final stages of a commission before I start refusing or start asking for extra money.

Demand clear instructions and/or references. If something isn’t described, you have to take artistic liberty and design it, but that’s difficult! And if the customer is not happy with it but can’t tell you more? That’s not your problem - the burden of reference is on THEM. You cannot read their mind, and that’s not your fault.

Get at least half the payment up front! This is a good balance between the ‘pay before art’ and the ‘pay after art’ conundrum that will limit the amount of woes between artist and customer. (I’ll touch upon this a little more in the Profit section.)

Organization:

Where possible, create good habits! Tag your emails and organize your folders. I have a tag on my emails for active and finished commissions. I also keep my emails on Unread until I have time to sit down and properly look at/reply to them.

My Commissions in the folder are also organized chronologically and I mark down which ones are paid and which ones are not.

(I understand not everyone can do this, but if you want to give it a try, it does make things easier in the long run. Again, this advice is just what I have found personally helps.)

One last thing - I do not want to shame ANYONE for taking their time with commissions! Commissions are complex, and they take time and work. You can draw in 8 hours, but some things take research, materials, etc. Some illustrations realistically take up to half a year, or, depending on what’s involved, several years!!

THAT BEING SAID - it’s good manners to be upfront with your customers about how long you expect the commission to take. If you think you’re busy, just say that! Explain that you have a lot going on, and you will probably take (insert time period here).

And if your commissioners are worried, work out a system to keep them updated! I send my commissioners updates when I finish the lineart/flat colors/etc and I try to be clear about how long everything will take. I try to estimate with a +3-5 days buffer to give myself extra time... and recently I’ve been using it. Always say a bigger number than you think you’ll need. 

If someone wants a rushed commission... make them pay more. If ANYONE wants a commission done ‘by the end of the week’ - that’s an automatic rush-job for me because I’m juggling an irl job and several commissions at once. I WILL charge a rush fee and I won’t feel bad about it. 

If someone wants a commission within 24 hours...... Well, they better be paying you 3x your normal amount, or more. And remember - you CAN refuse! It’s perfectly reasonable to say ‘No, sorry, that sort of turnaround time is not realistic for me.’

Food For Thought - Invoicing

Many artists I’ve commissioned in the past have not used Invoicing, but I’ve recently begun to fill out invoices and file them in my Commissions folder just to keep track of things. It’s not necessary until you start getting into the Small Business side of Freelancing, but it’s not a bad idea to get into the habit early in case you might need to do it later for tax purposes. 

Here’s what my Invoice looks like, for example. 

I’ve optimized it to help me remember who, what, and how much is involved! It also contains important info for my customers like where to send the money.

Which brings us to...

.

4) Profit

One of the hardest things for artists is pricing themselves. I’m not going to tell you which way is BEST - there is no BEST way, only the best way for YOU. 

One of the options available to you is pricing by the hour. It includes averaging out how long it takes you to draw a specific type of art (whatever you’re offering as a commission) and multiplying that by an hourly wage you’ve decided on.

When you do this, I stress - do NOT price yourself below minimum wage if you can help it. When you first start out, aim for the $15/hour mark and adjust accordingly. 

Other ways to price your art:

- Per complexity: Portraits vs full body should be scaled based on how difficult you find one vs. the other. You can also easily decide on a price for a sketch and double it for lineart, triple it for full color, etc.

- Per type: Look up for industry prices for website design and logo design. They may surprise you! You don’t have to charge that much, but it helps to keep things in perspective. 

It’s okay to change your prices! Keep your commission sheet image handy so you can update the amounts as you grow. :)

Payment up front or after completion?

Some artist take full payment up front. Some only demand payment after they’ve finished and sent out the piece. I personally think these are both risky for everyone involved. 

I recommend doing at least HALF of the payment BEFORE you start the commission. Calculate your full price and ask for half before you start working on it in earnest, to make sure the person can actually pay you. Then, when they receive the full piece and are satisfied, they can complete the payment. 

I personally work in this structure:

> Someone emails me with their idea/reference

> I send back a rough draft sketch that shows the idea/pose (only takes me 10-20 minutes so not a huge loss if they ghost) and quote them a price

> They can pay the full thing upfront OR pay half

> I finish the commission and send updates when I do the lineart/colors to double check anything so they have multiple chances to spot any errors

> If the person paid only half on completion, I send them a low-res version of the finished thing, they finish up their payment and THEN I send them the full-res version plus any other filetypes/CYMK proofs, etc. 

Many of the people who commission me pay me up front even though I offer they pay half - and I’m really flattered that they trust me that much! Because of that, I feel encouraged to update them frequently and ask for their input as I work, so they have the peace of mind knowing I’m actually doing their commission. 

Great, but how do I get PAID????

There are NUMEROUS ways - these days money is relatively easy to transfer over digital means, and you have a few options. 

Paypal is perhaps one of the oldest digital wallets and is geared towards businesses. By setting up a PayPal and connecting it to your debit card of bank account, you can tunnel a pathway from your online business directly into your hands in a matter of days. 

Paypal also offers Invoicing - you make an invoice, price it and send it to the person’s email and they can pay whatever way they need! (It also allows partial payments.)

Pros: transfers from PayPal to bank account are free, and take a couple of business days. It also has no upper limit to the amount of money you can move in/out each month. It can force refunds due to the nature of its business-oriented payment system.

Cons: Because it’s used by businesses for larger transactions, PayPal may demand a more rigorous proof of your identity. It may also take longer to set up and be harder to get used to. I’ve also heard that they can be a hassle when it comes to closing your account. 

Venmo is another type of digital wallet that acts much like paypal, except for a few key differences - it is NOT made for businesses (so depending on whether you’re officially registered as a freelancer, you may not be able to use it). I personally don’t use venmo, so I cannot speak to its usefulness, but I know a few people that use it for casual transactions. It’s easy and quick! :) 

Keep in mind that you cannot force a refund over venmo! The transactions are final.

There’s also CashApp, GooglePay (which could load gift cards but also allows peer-to-peer transactions) and I’ve heard good things about Due, though I’ve never personally used it.

Other ways to pay: I’ve had people pay me over Patreon by upping their pledge, and I’ve had people pay me over Ko-Fi by donating a specific amount. 

Many people even use Etsy - the website specialized for independent small businesses selling art - by listing their commission sheet and offering up several ‘slots’ of commissions, which allows you to track taxes AND allows your clients to pay using whatever they feel comfortable with.

If you’re in Canada, you can even pay by emailing money directly from bank account to bank account - check whether your country offers this type of service! There’s no shortage of ways to move money in the digital world.

Just like everything else, there’s no singular ‘Best’ way. It just depends on what works for you.

I think that just about wraps it up! I can’t quite think of what else to put here - but I’m sure other artists will chime in with their own advice. :) I’m very sorry this became so long but I hope it was helpful! 

Obligatory Disclaimer: I’m not qualified to give legal or accounting counsel. Please double-check the laws in your own country/state in regards to taxation of freelancing work and do your own research. If you are underage, DEFINITELY get an adult’s permission before you start doing commissions, and have the adult help you through the process.

it wasn’t until you had all finished that eito had requested his desired alone time with suna, the named man giving you a half intrigued, half bored expression as you spoke quietly to eito.

“i’ll just- i’ll be right back,” you murmured, standing up and walking to the bathrooms.

when you had left eito’s line of sight, eito sat up straighter in front of suna, eyes watching the middle blockers every move. suna, noticing the change in eito, also sat up straighter, gazing down curiously at the five year old to see what he wanted to say to him.

it was quiet between the two for a solid minute, causing suna to shift uncomfortably in his seat. he felt awkward being stared down by a five year old, seeing as he was close to 20 years older than the child. it was a weird feeling to be stared down by a five year old, especially considering said five year old’s mom was just in the bathrooms.

“you better not hurt my mama,” were the first words out of the child’s mouth, completely catching suna off guard. he had been expecting eito to say something, he just had no clue of what he was expecting exactly, but that was definitely not it.

“i could never hurt y/n,” was suna’s response, hands folded in front of him as he gazed back at the five year old. eito gave him a look that would’ve looked threatening, had it come from a grown man, but coming from a child, it looked more humorous, though suna held in the laugh he was so tempted to let out.

“if you do, i will find you, and i will make you regret it,” eito declared, sending a glare over to suna who widened his eyes at the supposed threat of the five year old.

of course, he wasn’t afraid, he was more shocked if anything, by the fact that a five year old was brave enough to challenge a full grown, pro volleyball player, that was enough to cause the middle blocker to go speechless. what kind of child had you raised? he was obviously very fearless, probably something he’d picked up thanks to knowing kyōtani and aone. he also knew how to make his threats actually stick, something he’d no doubt picked up from knowing tsukishima.

“then i won’t hurt your mama,” suna replied after a few moments of silence, in which time, the milkshakes had arrived and eito had started to sip at it.

“okay!” eito smiled, glancing up when he spotted you appear from the bathroom.

“so, what’d you and suna talk about, bubs?” you questioned as you sat down next to eito again.

“nothing important,” eito responded, eliciting a laugh out of you as took your own milkshake and started drinking it. suna shot eito a look, eyes wide in surprise as eito acted as if he hadn’t just threatened him.

“yeah, nothing important…” suna muttered, glancing away from you as he spoke.

you obviously knew it was something, though you never bothered to ask any of the other guys you’d introduced eito to — yes, he’d done this many times, and many times had your relationships with those men ended abruptly, though it wasn’t anyone’s fault, you just agreed that it was for the best that you break it off. you hadn’t found “the one” yet, and you honestly weren’t sure if you would, but there was still some time, right? you weren’t that old, after all.

you, suna, and eito finished your milkshakes and then continued to talk, filling each other in on the parts of your lives you’d each missed. you told him stories of your time in france, while he told you tales of his time knowing the twins. eito listened while you both spoke, a content look on his face when he found that you were enjoying yourself. he always found joy in whatever you found joy in, that’s just the sort of relationship you and he shared, and you were content with that.

the feeling you got sitting in the diner, talking and laughing with suna and eito, it all felt so...natural, like it was meant to be, and you didn’t want it to end, but it would have to eventually.

fact #2; eito has “threatened” a total of three other men y/n has tried dating, though he’s never able to follow through on said threats because he’s only five. all those relationships ended in a mutual agreement, though, so it was never necessary for eito to even have to follow through on said threats.

[TL Summary] Hanasaki Miyabi Marshmallow Reading (4/8/2021)

Get To Know Hanasaki Miyabi!! I’ll do QnA Marshmallow! [Hanasaki Miyabi/Holostars]

I reccommend watching the stream too!

He first greets the fans by telling them it’s been cold lately. After a cute head swaying and the usual KonbanMiyabi~, he then mentioned how there are new people who starts watching him lately, or maybe even those who had following him for long, and might not know who he is – for he doesn’t know himself much either, said by him – and he direct this stream for those who wants to know him more deeper.

There are many marshmallows sent to him and he might unable to answer it all.

 ・The mallow sender is very fond of Miyabi’s cuteness; The part of him that shows how good he is at games, the part of him that is nice to his Hanamigumis, the part of him that likes Temma a lot, the part of him that can’t read kanji well… The more they see him from different angle the cuter he looks and they wonder how can he be so cute and what is Miyabi’s own definition of cute.

Miyabi answered with how he doesn’t actually aiming to act cute, he’s just living as he is. He just showed how he actually is. So he concluded that probably he’s probably being cute just by living. He described it with how you usually saw a beautiful flower blooming on the side of the road and thought how cute it is.

Tho, he doesn’t like it if he’s being praised cute too much.

By re-reading what the mallow sender thought of him as cute, he said maybe to this person’s eye, he’ll probably be forgiven for almost anything at this rate; even if he ate his food messily and can’t clean it by himself, or when he got very fat, the sender might just think of it as cute.

Chat: I wouldn’t like messy eating… Miyabi: Yes! That’s how it should be. I think I’ll be a goner if you all don’t get angry for what I did wrong. So you all should get angry to me if I got overboard, okay. I think human is like that.

Comment: Then please don’t mute yourself when you’re sneezing Miyabi: That is one of the only thing I will never do.

Looks like even if we throw him red SC, he won’t change his mind.

 ・The sender wants to know what kind of bag that Miyabi usually use when he go out.

He answered, when he was in elementary school he used a aqua blue and white backpack with a strap of stuffed Disney character doll on the side. After he entered middle school, he felt a little embarrassed wearing it and decided to use a shoulder bag. He sometimes still use shoulder bag until now. And now, for some reason, he goes back to occasionally using the aqua blue and white backpack. He likes how it can hold many goods at once. And what he usually use now is a red, white, and blue colored backpack. And he still bring the same stuffed Disney character doll. He also said he put the Kyomu Suzume keychain too.

His mother had said to him that wouldn’t his age doesn’t suit for him to still hanging around a character doll on a bag, and he replied with “But I like it!!” In the end, his interest is still the same from when he was a kid.

Chat said that dolls has no age limit and he agrees. He also imagines a situation of him meeting someone wearing the same character doll strap and will quietly say in his heart “Ahh, you too huh. That doll is cute, I understand~!” and wouldn’t it be exciting to see someone who brought the same goods as you!

He also imagines a future where people with Holostars goodies glancing at each other’s merchandise and form a conversation of fellow Holostars fans, and said how exciting it will be – tho since Holostars had released their own goods, he find it possible to do even now –

 ・The sender told him about the new Among Us map and wondered if Holostars will play it again.

Miyabi answered this question vaguely by saying he’s preparing for things and told us to wait for it.

  ・The sender has bought food from convenience store a lot lately and wondered about Miyabi’s recommended convenience store items.

Miyabi answered with how he likes and often goes to buy stuff from convenient store. He mentioned how there are many types of convenient store, but the one he goes the most is Seven Eleven. He recommended a section beside the onigiri section, in the French bread section where you can find bread with cream cheese and salmon filling. Tho, he mentioned how it depends on the place whether they stock the same food or not. The next on his recommendation list is salad with pork shabu-shabu, and he also recommended season-limited food and drinks, like zavas cocoa and the likes. He also recommended flank steak. Also microwaveable squid, or those that could be use as side dish like smoked salmon. And spicy dried squid. For the drinks, he recommended cola. He told of normal occurrences he usually had where, despite all of the food and drinks mentioned before, when he reached the cashier he’ll eventually buy more goods and the total price would be over 3K. And after he got home, he’ll eat it all in just a day. Especially if there’s an update to the game he played.

Chat: And this is how you gained 5kg weight… Miyabi: Stop it everyone! It’s supposed to be membership-only secrets!

In the end, he admitted it and said he would like do a diet. He said if there’s a convenient store nearby, Temma will definitely go there too but alas there’s none near his house.

 ・The mallow asked him what does he likes from Temma.

Since it’s embarrassing for him, Miyabi decided to keep the answer in membership-only content. Instead, he told the viewer to ask Temma what does he likes from Miyabi.

 ・The mallow asked what kind of clothing does he usually wear when going outside, and who’s the most stylish out of all Holostars members

Miyabi said he often wears parker and mentioned how he likes checkered pattern. His pants and shirts are mostly checkered. (Tho, not all full-checkered) He also used to wear jeans, but the jeans he bought last year no longer fit him and realized that he’s gaining weight. As for the stylish member, he mentioned Astel is a stylish one. He also mentioned Shien is also stylish, but both Astel’s and Shien’s style are different kind of stylish. Aru-san’s is just Aru-san-like. He doesn’t know much about Temma’s yet, since the two rarely met offline. Miyabi said how Shien’s style is able to bring out his personality with a sense of adultness and not too eye-catching. The other day when they both went out, Miyabi saw the sneaker Shien was wearing and it was white-purple, and he felt a strong Kageyama Shien-ness from it. In the end, he keep glaring at Shien’s shoe. Miyabi said he likes shoes. When he wanted to ask Shien where did he bought the shoe so he can bought the red-yellow one, chat told him that it was a birthday gift from his fans. When chat asked about shoe size, he refused to tell it since he doesn’t want people get surprised if they knew his shoe size is bigger or smaller than what they imagined.

To conclude the answer about what does he wear when he goes out, normally he doesn’t go out much either so there’s not much of it. He mentioned that he has about another 9 of the same white shirt he’s wearing right now and regularly changed it based on time and circumstances (refers to his 2D model, not his rl shirt)

Chat suggested him to buy outfits online. Miyabi said that if he were to buy clothing, especially shoes, online we can’t measure out the size for our size. Shoe size can also change depends on the maker/designer. He doesn’t do online shopping unless for things he really wanted.

He likes Nikes. When he was gonna search for a particular item, he didn’t realized his browser was on the stream screen. He panicked and quickly closed it, and said that now everyone knows he usually uses Yahoo search engine.

 ・The mallow asked about is his character setting of not being able to be 18 is the same being forever 17

Miyabi said it’s a very important question. If he told about it, he might be erased from this world. He leave to viewer’s own imagination.

 ・The mallow asked does he likes chocolate mint or not. Miyabi: Now then, question! Does Hanasaki Miyabi likes chocolate mint or not!

*drums roll*

Miyabi: The correct answer is………………………..I really really like it!

When he goes to Baskin Robbins, he usually orders chocolate mint too. Chat: Then, that means I need to fight Miyabi Miyabi: Why?! I don’t want a fight. Will this be a world-scale war?

Some chats said that they really hate chocolate mint, and Miyabi said that it’s not nice to bluntly said show your hate, especially if they’ve never tasted it before. Chat linked it with coriander (teasing about Miyabi’s curry topping stream) and Miyabi said coriander gave him another different punch that sent him straight into a temple. When chat said that he will someday conquer coriander too, he’ll maybe try going into temple and eat it there to see if he can do it. Or other alternatives of eating stuff based on coriander and not eating it straight as a topping, just like there are people who didn’t like the actual tomato but are fond of tomato sauce.

Chat: I’ll be waiting for the coriander picnic at temple Miyabi: I need to search for temples that can support streaming first then ww

 ・This marshmallow asked what words he usually use when he does egosa.

Miyabi checked his recent search bar in twitter and mentioned みやびくん (Miyabi-kun),  ゆるすた(Yurustars), 花岸 (Hanakishi), ホロスタ(Holostars), 花咲みやび (Hanasaki Miyabi), 花咲の森 (Hanasaki Forest), 住人スタンプ (Hanasaki Forest’s Residents Stamp), 花見組 (Hanamigumi), モンハン (Monster Hunter), モモコブロッサム(Momoko Blossom).

When he checked the Momoko Blossom word, his eyes fell upon a fanart that depicts Momoko Blossom gijinka and showed it on stream. He said its really really cute and showed his Miyabi-ness, especially the ribbon part. He decided to RT and liked it. He also wanted to see more gijinka of other forest residents too. Miyabi mentioned that he always like gijinkas. He showed another cute fanart on stream and thanked the author.

 ・The mallow asked whether Miyabi is a streamer that tends to remember his fans or not.

Miyabi said that he quickly forget people’s names, but if the person came to his stream a lot and commented, he’ll tend to remember them. Also people who mutter on Twitter a lot, draws fanart, and other stuff. If he see a new name on his stream he will know that they’re newcomers too. He encouraged people to comment more during his streams so he can remember their names.

Chat also mentioned that they usually remember other viewers’ names.

 ・The next mallow: I love you, Miyabi

  What did you eat for dinner yesterday?

Miyabi answered that he ate Jiro Instant Ramen at 3 am, but he can’t remember what he ate for dinner. He’s able to remember Jiro Ramen because it left a huge guilty feeling in him for eating it at midnight and could possibly make him gain more weight, especially he’ll sleep after that. Miyabi mentioned that Jiro Ramen also has vegetables in it. A chat said that sleeping after you fill your tummy is the best and Miyabi agrees. Apparently he drinks all the soup too and is guilty for adding up more fat for him to burn.

A chat recommended him to store the soup for the next day and then add rice and eggs on it, and said it’s enough for 2 portions. Miyabi said it’s a great idea and will try it next time.

 ・The next mallow asked is it annoying to send a letter to him every month.

Miyabi answered not at all, in fact he wants fans to send him one every day. Chat said that the letters are most probably gonna be compiled and sent at the same day. Imagining that, Miyabi becomes a bit scared. A chat asked whether the content of the letter will be checked by management before it reached him, and he answered yes. So there are instances that if management finds the letter dangerous, they might block the sender. Temma and Shien had told him about how great season-based letters are and Miyabi agrees. He mentioned that his letter will be compiled in the office and sent to him once every 3-4 months. He said that the last time he received his new batch of letters is a week or two weeks ago (judging from this stream’s date, it’s probably about April 1st or March 25th) and the letters he received that time were new year greetings. And so, if fans wanted to send regular letters, he suggested sending it every 3-4 months. He mentioned that his, along with Holostars, will have 2nd anniversary soon and he said he will receive a batch of letters that time too.

 ・Next mallow asked him about foods he recently hooked into.

Miyabi answered that lately he’s been buying soy milk. When couldn’t finish all the milk, he’ll put them in dishes like hamburg and annin tofu. He’s been trying to make soy milk-based dishes. A chat asked what does soy milk taste like, and Miyabi described it as tofu being squished and mixed with a bit of sugar. He also said soy milk hot pot is great. It’s a hot pot with a soup of soy milk with consommé, with chicken breast meat and Chinese cabbage put in it, also put a bit(?) of cheese in it and it’ll be super delicious. He reminded us that we shouldn’t put too much cheese for such a healthy dish. He said he’s been trying to cook by himself lately and made omurice, tho the dish he’s good at making right now is still instant cup ramen. He really likes cheese and would put them into hot pots, mentioned how it’ll taste great with tomato hot pot. He tried to not do that too much, thought.

He shared a story of where he tried experimenting what ingredientsb suits pasta more to his liking, and found out about ochazuke-no-moto pasta recipe. He claimed it as delicious and everyone should try it too. After you boil the pasta and drain the water, you put it in ochazuke-no-moto soup and warm it. It’s also cheap. He said he made it a lot when he was in middle school, but not recently.

 ・The next mallow asked about Miyabi’s first impression on other Holostars members, like their fashion impression. They also wanted to know Miyabi’s fashion as well.

Miyabi said that the first Holostars member he had met offline was Roberu. He described his first impression on Roberu as… still Roberu. When he was alone waiting for everyone while looking at his phone, Roberu suddenly greeted him with his usual tone, while Miyabi was all surprised and greeted politely. The next member he met was Rikka and Aru-san. He described Aru-san as… still Aru-san. His character model wear a pretty uniform-like clothing, but the offline Aru-san he saw wore a more free style clothes and Miyabi thought “So Aru-san can dress like this too.” He also wore masks and glasses and to Miyabi it was a bit scary and didn’t believe it was Aru-san at first ww Rikka’s is just Rikka. The next members he met is Astel. Miyabi said he was scared when meeting him at first “This is… the aura of an extrovert! This is bad!” Miyabi’s introvert radar rang danger signs ww But after Miyabi talked a bit with him, he realized Astel is stil Astel. On the way home, he got on the same train as Astel and talked about the future for a bit until they both reached their own destination. The next member is Shiepi. He said he likes Shiepi the most. They both likes the same thing and able to talk about the hobby, and Miyabi could talk with Shien more easily. He could feel more calmer when he was talking and being beside Shiepi. The last members he met are Izuru, Temma, and Oga. Miyabi described Izuru as the one who is much kinder and calmer than others. Mentioned how Astel Izuru are usually loud when they stream together, but offline Izuru is very quiet, he’s like a cat. Sometimes Izuru whispered to him that the town is scary, and Miyabi finds it cute. Miyabi said his walking pace is fairly slow, Izuru would sometimes turn at him and asked if he’s tired. Even after Miyabi told him to go on ahead, Izuru adjust his pace and walk along with Miyabi. It is a surprising side to him. As for Oga, Miyabi described him as someone who has big bro energy. His build is big too, but despite that he keeps tries to keep talking in a friendly matter to Miyabi, and is very kind. The last is Temma, but he doesn’t really understand him yet. When he first met him offline, Temma was very nervous and he couldn’t talk much with him. Miyabi mentioned that he met offline with the others are not personal, and was actually a Holostars offline meeting, so he didn’t have much time alone with Temma to understand him further. When he glanced at Temma, he always looked like his gaze was heading towards somewhere far away. He was shaking in the corner. Miyabi tried talking to him, but both of them were very nervous. Next time Holostars do an offline meeting again, Miyabi is determined to properly talk to him.

 ・The next mallow asked where would he go when Miyabi and Temma went outside together.

Miyabi said it’s probably restaurants and such. Mentioned that the only personal offline meeting experience he had was with Astel and Shien when they go to Disney together, and the only member that he met offline just the two of them is only Shien, watched the new Fate: Grand Order movie. With Temma, both are probably will be too nervous to talk to each other and made it awkward, so they’ll bring a third-party, Aru-san to come with them and have lunch together. He said it’ll be much more easier to talk if there’s more people.

 ・The next mallow asked Miyabi to beg cutely so the sender could give him pocket money and spoil him more and more.

He has a side of losing interest of doing something when he were told to do it, so he apologized that he won’t do it. He do likes and wants money but directly asking for it to his viewers felt wrong, so:

Miyabi: …Give me money, please. Ww

Chat: *Superchats Shower

Miyabi thanked all of the superchats and said he’ll use it as funds for Hanasaki Forest.

 ・The mallow sender noticed that there’s many bird-like creature in Hanasaki Forest and asked what kind of bird does Miyabi likes

Miyabi answered with bird thight, bird liver, bird skin, bird wings, parts of birds that could be eaten. Was surprised that they weren’t talking about birds to eat, but living birds in general ww

He said that a warbler has been living nearby his house and he often heard it’s chirps, and start liking warbler. He also likes penguin, chicks, and sparrow. He likes cool-looking birds like eagle and owl. He mentioned that when he was still in elementary school, he kept a pretty big peacock. It was gone when he graduated. He wanted to try eating a big fried egg using ostrich eggs and wondered how many servings he could make with just using one egg.

 ・Next mallow sender noticed how Miyabi chooses his word carefully in minds of the person he talked to and could sense kindness from it and is awed by it. They asked whether that kindness of him is just natural or he tried to be as careful as possible when talking to people, and said they wanted to communicate to people as kind as him.

Miyabi said that it could be coming naturally from him, but there’s one point in his life that made scared of people to the point he couldn’t go outside of his home. That made him developed a personality that tries to observe the person he’s talking and finds out what could possibly make this person happy and sad and angry, and tries to blend in with the people around him. He don’t know if this could be called kindness, since all he wants to do is get along with everyone and don’t want any fights. He has confident that he can befriend newcomers easily with this trait and he might be the best to read the room. He said by being afraid of people and observing them that probably we could get less fearful of them.

But because of this, he also said that collabing with Holostars members are quiet difficult. But he decided that it’s fine for him and thought that it’s one of the good part of Holostars.

 ・The next mallow mentioned that Miyabi always changed his (L2D) outfit not bounded by the current season and asked if there’s any particular reason when he wanted to change outfit, or is it just depends on his mood.

Miyabi said that he didn’t think much of it. He decided on the spot what kind of outfit he’ll use before stream starts. Tho there are times where he wanted to fit his outfit with the theme of his stream, like marshmallow reading such as this might draws in more new viewers who is curious of him so he want to wear his default outfit, or when he plays horror games he’ll use casual clothing like his summer outfit to give a feeling that he’s playing at home.

That was the last mallow! He said that it’s still not enough and he plans to do more at a later date. There are still many mysteries of him that he himself still doesn’t know too. For those who want to know more of Hanasaki Miyabi’s charm, he encouraged you to watch his streams more.

 Thank you for reading~
