AND THE THING ABOUT OLIVER AND BOUNDARIES!
Is so obvious to me that his parents were party at fault for his lack of boundaries. Not because they we're malicious and intentional about it, but because they loved him so much they tend to cross his limits.
(Kinda like what Oliver did with Felix, but less obsessive).
From my experience it's something relatively normal about the relationship between parents and their children. The first time we really understand boundaries is when we enforce them to separate ourselves from our parents expectations. It seems to me that Oliver never learned how to do that. He's constantly molding himself to appease and appeal, and when it becomes to much, he flees.
Let's go back to the little things Paula and Jeff share with us in that brief birthday scene.
"He always wanted to be an only child, always beetling off by himself"
"He was so clever, that's why he found it hard to make friends, they were jealous".
"It's been hard not seeing him. But it must be a lot of pressure being the top scholar and being in the rowing team, and the union, and the plays..."
Let's start with the lies.
How long ago Oliver started lying to his parents to make space for himself?
Cause the lies don't necessarily feel like something he used to impress them. It seems to me like the Quicks already thought Oliver was exceptionally smart "he was always so clever" and he's just keeping appearances.
But the amount of things he said he did. The plays, the rowing team, the union, the work of studying to maintain the "top scholar position" like reading, doing work and essays and projects, assisting to classes, lectures and tutorials, it's a lot!.
"It's been hard not seeing him". How many times Paula called just to be ignored or quickly dismissed? with an excuse like "sorry i have an essay due tomorrow" or "im going to practice for the play". And why Oliver wanted to separate himself so much from his family?
"He always wanted to be an only child, always beetling off by himself" why would Oliver wanted to separate himself not only from his parents but his siblings too?
The Quicks said that "We go to to Mykonos every year. Well, not anymore. Not now that the kids are all grown up". That makes me think that Oliver sisters are older than him. Oliver doesn't seem to have a close relationship with them either. Was it because of the age gap? How much older were her sisters? Maybe they had to babysit and that created a second-mother kind of dynamic?
It sounds like he was being smothered by them. And again, i'm not saying it was intentional, but maybe Oliver needed much more space that what the Quicks were able or willing to give. And he didn't know how to ask.
And maybe (only maybe cause i don't really have good foundation for this) Oliver learned that the best way to get space from them was saying he was occupied, specifically studying. So maybe it started at school, him saying that he had to finish homework or read a book or do project, and maybe these were the only times he'll be left alone. Maybe that was the perfect excuse to explain why he didn't have many friends too.
(and i wonder why a kid with no sense of boundaries would have a hard time making friends 👀)
And why Oliver keeps lying?
After moving to Oxford, he could've just draw back and create that space without making an excuse. But he didn't, because he cares, he likes that his family thinks he's intelligent and capable. But he doesn't care for spending time with them.
I don't think he said all those lies to look especially intresting or important, but he did choose to "be occupied" by being a good student. Not in a "i won an award for best performance" but a "I'm too busy to talk, i have tutorial"
And look at the way the Quicks react to Oliver saying he has to go, is very interesting.
Paula just gives up instantly. She offers a compromise, and when rejected she's obviously frustrated but she just lets it go. On the other hand Jeff tries to reason with his son a little "your mother spent all morning doing lunch" but they seem very accustomed to this situation. It's not the first time Oliver escapes a conversation.
So, to me, is obvious that Oliver's parents knowingly or unknowingly contributed to Oliver's lack of healthy boundaries.
He never really draw the line with them, he just made excuses to avoid and elude and ultimately flee when the situation got out of hand. And they never picked up on it, they kept repeating the same scenarios multiple times without having a conversation about it.
I feel like his parents never really confronted him about anything. Maybe because they didn't sense anything was wrong, maybe because, same as the Cattons, they didn't know how to approach the situation or maybe because they know Oliver gets really fcking upset whenever they tried to have a conversation about it, who knows.
So at the end we have a 20yo dude who never learned how to enforce a boundary or why is healthy to have them and has absolutely no idea how to perceive and not cross others limits.

Hi, as someone who is going to be in their first year of college this fall, I'm curious about the note taking part
Is physical or digital note taking easier?
Is spending money on a laptop nessesary?
What is something you wish you would've done differently during your first year?
Do you have any advice?
If by any chance you see this, your blog and your aesthetic are amazing!
I'm wishing you a wonderful day/night.
If you do decide to reply, thank you in advance <3
helloo! sorry for the late reply & thank u for the ask! :)
ive tried both and i think i prefer handwritten notes, however they both have their pros and cons:
handwritten pros
proven to be better for retaining information
can't get distracted by other tabs
lighter to carry
costs less than a laptop
i've had some classes where we weren't allowed to use laptops so it's good to already be used to taking notes this way
cons:
much slower. sometimes i find im missing stuff and i have to go back to it at the end
have to print out diagrams etc if u want to include them
could possibly lose them, spill something etc
not enough space on desk for both laptop and notebook so u can't get slides up or google something
digital pros:
much quicker
easier to organise & pull up different notes at any time - u don't need to carry around or find older notebooks to be able to study or refer back to past classes
some people make notes directly onto the slides which u would have to print out if u wanted to do by hand
can also use for research and writing essays which u will need a computer for at some point so might as well do everything in one place
cons:
expensive
more stressful if u lose or break it
if u forget to charge it and u don't have paper .......
this upcoming year, im using a combination. most of the time i'll handwrite my notes, but for classes where they talk too quickly i'll type them (it's not worth the stress & extra time having to go back to recordings after). my notes for readings will be annotated straight onto the pdf. i'll be taking pictures of notes to put them all together.
---
unfortunately, i think it is because you'll need computer access to research and write ur essays, as well as to find course information etc. HOWEVER some universities (most?) have laptops that u can borrow and computers in the library, so if u know that you'll be motivated enough to get up and do all of ur work on campus, you could save this cost - bare in mind when u move off campus after first year it might be even harder. definitely look into this if cost is an issue for you! it doesn't need to be a fancy one if u do buy a laptop though, just remember u'll be carrying it around so don't get a super heavy one!
---
as for something i wish i'd done differently: as a sociology student, none of my classes have exams where i have to memorise things, instead it's all essay based. this led me to not 'study' i guess ??? like the stuff that i wrote my essays on, i knew like the back of my hand, but everything else i couldn't remember well. so if ur taking an essay based subject, remember that u still need to study a little & remember these things !! i was so overwhelmed tbh that i forgot about this oopsie!
---
extra advice:
when people say that after u skip one class, u'll skip the rest THEY. MEAN. IT. literally try so hard not to miss class bc you will never go again if u do. my classes would start off with not enough seats for everybody and end up with just a handful of us by the end of term.....
make time for urself !! it can become all consuming, especially if u live on campus, but pls make some dedicated time away from studying !!
u will find ur friends eventually. pls remember that it won't last or be that fun if u stick with friends who u don't have that much in common with just bc they were the first u met. tell me why i was going to bars and clubs with people in first term bc that;s what they wanted to do ????? it's ok to move onto different people bc u will eventually get tired of doing these things u don't like just to be able to hang out with people !! now i go to bookstores and cafes with my new friends and i love it!! don't settle !!

About language brainrot. Imagine writer creator reader who finally learns how to write in Teyvat's weird symbols and they want to publish their book. They decided to do it anonymously to avoid the "aaaaaah our creator wrote the holy scripture" sort of situation. Except it didn't work. The reader's style is too different from the rest of the world, so even if they tried to simulate the flowery speech it wasn't effective.
Another thing. Reader who decided to read some local books to practice their reading. They asked for something simple and similar to their speech. But the only books merely similar to it are 2000 and more years old. It's funny how the older text is the more you can understand it. On this note. If reader write something i feel like it would be hard to understand for Teyvat's people.
Imagine a reader who is autistic or has any other NDs imparing their communication skills. They practically trained themselves to say sertain phrases in sertain situation. But it doesn't work in Teyvat. And everything just stacks at each other. Difference in speech, being a God (so people react weirdly to you), bad communication skills, not understanding nonverbal cues and so on. There's gonna be a lot of misunderstanding. I imagine how followers would walk on the eggshells not to upset and angry their God and reader who does the same not to say something people will get wrong. Again.
Reader who regained all their memories of creating Teyvat, they're super powerful and stuff. But they still struggle with the modern language. Because all the memories are like millions years old.
✨️NEXYLAZA UR SO FUCKING SMART AND CREATIVE✨️ UR BRAIN>>>>>> EVERYTHING
GIF Akashi (black hair) is all the people who read the Sagau/Isekai Genshin tag and Bokuto (silver) is STILL ME RANTING ABOUT LANGUAGE IN TEYVAT LMAO
They cant escape me, sorry people who just wanted to read SAGAU normal things, im filling up the tag💀
Tumblr media
I HAD OTHER ASKS BEFORE THIS ONE AND AS I GOT THRU EM I WAS "OMMGGGG WE'RE GETTIN CLOSER TO NEXY'SSSS ASSSKKKK EEEEEEE"
YOU ARE A GODDAMN GENIUS
DHALALWKDHDHS
ME ABOUT THIS ASK:
Tumblr media
(^ lol biblically accurate deadaquarius)
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGINNNN
BRAINROTTING OVER UR ENTIRE ASK!!
Also, its getting kinda old now, so here is the blunt language v. Teyvat's flowery language post for reference! :)
Hhhhhhhhhhh
IF U WRITE STUFF
AND UR IN WORDY TEYVAT LAND
AINT NO WAY,👏
U COULD EVEN, 👏👏
GET CLOSE👏👏👏
TO THESE BITCHES SPEECH👏👏👏👏
Like,, imagine right now if i told you to write me 4 pages of an essay in entirely early 18th century vernacular.
(For reference: when the story Pride & Prejudice takes place)
... like??
Bitch aint no way u can do that and actually show that to a historian or an actual living person from that time period
and them actually say "wow! An excellently worded 18th century essay!"
💀.
So tying into that whole, "the only simple texts are like literal cunnieform clay tablets or sm shit"
Your writing to them just sounds like if a scribe just copied off what one of those tablets said just onto paper HAHA
And like, if u try and dress it up, it just ends up sounding like its from a slightly later time period
Like if ur casual writing sounds like 1 million years ago, u being flowery sounds like 8-7 thousand years ago u cant win LMAO
Omg ur trying to go to that-
wait whats it called,,fuck i dont know Sumeru good enough yet
The.. HOUSE OF DAENA GOT IT
Yeah so ur thinking "Oh what better way to learn a dialect?/vernacular than reading books by them!"
And u basically snatch Alhaitham at the soonest possible chance to take you there
(Bc when i went in, it was just random lore books everywhere so)
Needless to say you have no clue how this place is organized, so u convince him to direct you to books u can easily read first
Like as close to your speech as possible!! U tell him :)
.
..
...lol
It literally takes like 3 hours to get something readable LMAO
Bc when the poor feeble scribe initially brought you smth he thought was pretty old and close to ur speech, like just first thought,
... It sounded like it was from the middle of the 18th century to you lol
So, with a "hmm" and a squint at the dusty book you'd already given up on
Alhaitham slowly went around the library making a stack of books, dropped them off in front of you... not a single sentence.
...then he made a stack of scrolls...
..nope..
...a stack of stone tablets...
.....getting closer?? it was really weird seeing Shakespearean language carved into stone....
...and then, with a conversation to a second library secretary deeper in the library, past a caged area of shelves to protect them...
...he escorts you behind the restricted section towards the back filled with glass display cases.
(Several of which contain the most ancient looking sets of artifacts you've ever seen)
...Finally, u arrive at a long glass case of several clay tablets.
Half of which sound like they're from the 1910s-20s, and the other, even older half, sounding straight out of the 2000s..
..
....
......
...Good god.
(Good..you??)
These crazy speaking bastard-previously-video-game-characters were right.
...
You are suddenly, viscerally hit with the image of Zhongli's idle, "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember, but where are those who share the memory?" 💀
Alhaitham side eyes you,, (he looks,, very interested, yet also kinda concerned??? HIM, CONCERNED????!!!)
"Ahem, the texts before thy Greatest Lord art the eldest- well, perhaps, more appropriately, the eldest and most intact, pieces of written language known to our humankind."
...
....aYOO MAN 😭😭
...Ur just staring at these half cracked, baked clay tablet thingys, full of slang from like 2003-
Alhaitham coughs.
"Uh, thanks. ...Sorry about all the.. trouble with this..."
BRO HOW OLD DOES HE THINK U ARE NOW-
"This task assigned to mine own person was of no trouble to my mind or spirit, Greatest Lord, fret not about it any longer."
And with a sort of shell-shocked atmosphere surrounding both of you, Alhaitham walks off to check out some other restricted books, hovering nearby yet also trying to give u space LOL
Top 10 cursed images: Seeing "Chillax, bro, dude, and weeb" carved into ancient clay tablets that look like they would be part of the Egyptian exhibit back in ur world 💀
You eventually just kind of end up writing a couple pages after studying the writings, going younger and younger (nothing has ever made u feel more powerful...yet also more old..)
You stretch, just as Alhaitham finally has made his own little stack of creaky old books
He seems very curious to read what u wrote, peaking a glance over the top of his book every so often (lol nerd, cute nerd... but NERDDD)
You just offer the academic lunatic what he wants 🙄
"Haha, wanna take a look? Some drafts are... closer than others..."
The scribe immediately puts his book down, not even saving his page,
"I would be honored, Greatest Lord."
Is he excited?? 💀 omfg
U very slowly hand ur most recent practice pages over, he curls his hand under his chin "hmm" ing
...Alhaitham shakes his head
"My..deepest apologizes My Creator, but this still seems, at the earliest, from when papyrus was invented, and not yet even into scrolls..."
OK BUT ALHAITHAM WOULD GENUINELY GIVE NO FUCKS ABT CRITIQING YOU, HE MAY BE MORE POLITE ABT IT BUT EVEN IF U DID MAKE THE WORLD HES GOING FOR IT
KAVEH HAS A HEART ATTACK BC HIS ROOMMATE GOT ONTO GOD LMAO
U let ur head plop on ur pile of papers, srry babe youll never be as fancy as Mr. Darcy 😕
And as ur resting there, contemplating just walking out and finding smth to eat instead- same
Alhaitham picks up another draft.
Except it's your first attempt.
As in, you didn't even try, first attempt.
You just made some bullet point notes or some Bs, in ur regular. modern. language.
Alhaitham knocks his chair over standing up so fast-
(HE GETS SHUSHED BY THE RESTRICTED LIBRARIAN LOL, also another person unafraid to scold God lol)
...he says its a perfect example of the oldest records they've found of writing on the continent, most of which they haven't even translated yet
He asks u to teach him how to read this/speak like this lol
(^^^not my best work but hope yall got smth outta it💀)
I WAS LITERALLY GONNA MAKE A WHOLE POST ON THE NEURODIVERGENT EXPERIENCE OF BEING A GOD IN TEYVAT
ESPECIALLY OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER VARIETY!!!
THERES JUST
ACK
aCK HDHAKD
SO MUCH
TO SAY
!!!
AHHHHH
OK BUT LIKE
IF WE ACTUALLY TOOK THIS TO THE EXTREME IM IMPLYING IT WOULD BE
LIKE TEYVAT SPEAKS SEVERAL DECADES BEHIND U- MAYBE EVEN ACTUALLY
CLOSE TO PRIDE AND PREJUDICE TIMES SPEECH
THEY WOULD LITERALLY BARELY COMPHREHEND YOU
IMAGINE TRYING TO TALK TO MR. DARCY 😭
THATS LITERALLY ALL OF TEYVAT
JUST
???¿¿?????!!! <- THEM ALL THE TIME
ESP IF UR NEURODIVERGENT
I THINK IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE PROOF FOR THEM TO THINK UR GOD
BC UR BEHAVIOR WOULD BE "OFF" TO THEIR NEUROTYPICAL ASSES,
YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS,
LIKE UR MASKING MAYBE BUT
U CANT KEEP THAT SHIT UP ALL THE TIME-
ESP IN CRAZY ISEKAI CIRCUMSTANCES
AND LIKE-
(ok ill tone it down before i also get shushed)
U used to be a player!!
Which would maybe mean u got rlly comfy playing Genshin all the time!
...like i know im kinda stimming when im gaming (and my natural stim is rocking so yeah no way they wouldnt notice that 💀)
So, since u may be still yknow unconsciously wanting to be comfy (esp around ur mains/team/favs)
U probably have stimmed a little around them, which, not that neurotypicals dont stim, but like
They would notice after awhile
And esp people like Alhaitham, Zhongli, Ningguang, Xiao, Ei, Aether/Lumine, Kaeya, Diluc, Kazuha, Heizou, Shenhe, Kokomi, Sara, Albedo, Dainsleif- !! GASP- !! <- my bbygirl omg i forgot abt u before now im so sorry </3
(once again i have not checked a character list, forgive my sins my readers)
^^^ Are like pretty focused on you/observant, so they'd eventually pick up on it first probably
..
...
....which allsssooo means they're like, collecting all ur neurodivergent thingys lol to compile as EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU AS TO WHY THEY KNOW UR THE CREATOR LMAO
Honestly the biggest factor against u is definitely social interaction,, srry love :/
(if it helps, its bc i know itd be my downfall too thats why thats there ^ 😔)
Mostly bc i have this idea/theory? obervation? that when I especially met Adepti for the first time
Esp ones that werent as close to human society for as long as some others (like think Xiao vs. Ganyu)
And for literally every other non-human people we've met so far in Genshin-
They kinda- they kinda, radiate neurodivergent energy??
Like, they're not adherring to social norms, and not in like a bad way,
But its still rlly obvious (i mean also its probably exaggerated for us as an audience) that theyre not human pretty quickly
coughzhonglicough
COUGHVENTICOUGH-
oh geez wow excuse me, cold weather must be gettin to me- ahem hem-
Anyway, like what Nexy said in the ask,
...
...Yall are all just tiptoing around each other 😭😭
Bc these ppl arent from Earth countries,
All their behavior is weird to you 😭
U dont know how to mask with them yet 😭😭
THE UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF MISCOMMUNICATION THAT HAPPENS ALREADY WHEN UR NEUROSPICY VS. NEUROBLAND PPL
IS LIKE, ALMOST WORSE??
Bc they cant even understand ur phrasing bc its so simple 😭😭😭
Tldr: "Being Neurodivergent means ur a god, confirmed." - says all of Teyvat's denizens
NEXYLAZA.
MY BELOVED.
I AM IN LOVE WITH UR BRAIN.
IF I COULD GIVE IT A HUG I WOULD🫂✨️👏👏👏👏
BC I WAS ALREADY LIKE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND LIKE-
*rubs my little rat gremlin hands together*
"hmHmHMMMM BuT wHaT iF mAYbE yOU reMeMbeREd cReATinG TeyVAT, hmHMHMMMMM"
AND FOR VERBALIZING IT WITHIN BLUNT LANGUAGE AU- !!!!!!!
(one of my favs, if u cant tell)
I would (platonically) kiss you right now dude.
Instead I give this:

MY FUCKING GOD HOW I LOVE FIRST PART OF EXECUTION
I LOVE YOUR STYLE AND I SEE HOW MUCH WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND DETAILED
I ALWSO LOVE HOW YOU MADE FOR MAIN ELITE DIFRENT THRONES ITS SO NICE DETAIL
SEEING ME UP THERE LITERARY MADE MY DAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTUNG ME THERE
Alwsi sorry for screaming im yast so in nice mood after reading this ^^
Thank you!!
I put a decent amount of thought into the throne's designs!
In this essay I will-
Tumblr media
Hootbons was the most difficult to design. Good thing I started with her's first!
Since her OC maple is a rubberhose cartoon, I went with a 20s technology theme. The 20s were a time of great technological advancement. Radio, Television, even Vaccum cleaners!
Just cluttering a bunch of 20s technology together didn't look very good, though, so I added maple tree branches along with animation themed items like pencils and animation cels.
Tumblr media
Mushy's is just a slightly redesigned version of her throne from her execution. I added a few more mushroom types for variety.
Tumblr media
Dia's was easy. It's just his crown as a throne.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since I found 0104-vkta from her human Gangle art, That's what I based her throne on! You'll see a combination of the happy and sad masks in the middle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Loxely's was also simple, she's a flower. I made her throne a flower.
Tumblr media
Goose's is supposed to be a goose feather, but I looked up references for duck feathers instead for some reason. (also, I just drew generic bird feet instead of goose feet??)
Tumblr media
since Rabid is a jester with a clown nose (a mix of a medieval form of entertainment and the more modern concept of a circus clown), I decided to mix a medieval throne with props you'd find in a circus!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Burrotello's throne was made reaalllly late in the game, when I had already finished most of the sketches for part one, but I felt bad not including her since she was the only new member of our discord at the time.
I went with a gothic theme for her's. I don't think her clothes can really be considered goth, but that's what I went for. Maybe it's the earrings.
You'll also notice that, unlike the others, she doesn't have anything on the backrest! I forgot it 😭 (this design element is an important theme.)
Tumblr media
Edit:
Just realised I forgot to include Ark-fork!
Her's was pretty simple, it's just a throne made of bones. There wasn't really any planning for this one!
Tumblr media
Okay, so the backrests! Each of the thrones have a circular element in that area (except for Burrotello because I forgot, and Dia's and Mushy's aren't really circular, but you get it). They are meant to represent halos. If you look at the backgrounds, you'll see eyes on the balcony of the elite's seating section:
Tumblr media
And, it's not very visible since the large thrones are covering it up, but there are wings on the back wall behind the elites.
Tumblr media
Multiple eyes and wings are commonly attributed to biblically accurate angels
Tumblr media
The elites sit high above everyone else, surrounded by angelic imagery with "halos" behind their heads. It is a very clear show of their hubris, of their willigness to play god not only with their AUS, but with their own audience, deciding who lives or dies by the wave of a hand (i.e. executions).
When I describe "the elites" here, I am specifically referring to how they are portrayed as characters in my comic. This is not a comment on the real people behind these sonas.
If you read all of that, thanks! I put a lot of work into this comic, so i appreciate people taking interest in my process!

Taming ofthe Shrew
Snippet of something I tried to write years ago that never went anywhere. Remus Lupin X OC, Sirius Black scheming, nerdy flirting. kink if you squint
1.2k words
"Juuuniiiii" I could hear Sirius whine from the row behind, stage whispering to get my attention. Merlin, I just want to get this question done, can't he let me be for one goddamn moment. " I know you can hear me" Sirius shifts in his seat to lean closer "I need help with the muggle studies essay meet me in the Gryffindor common room?"
"Aye no, I need to run through new plays with my team" trying to focus on the work in front of me.
"tomorrow?" He looks at me with those stupid puppy dog eyes. Sirius doesn't ask for help, he's up to something.
I hesitate "Fine." What is that boy up to? I didnae think he studied, on a Friday night no less!
--
If I get one more look from one of these bloody Gryffindors I'm leaving, he's fecking late, I guess I'll help him some other time. I turn back to my book, try and ignore the gits walking by and gaggle of Third years giggling coming up with reasons I'm sat in their common room.
The amount of people in the common room dwindles, it's getting dark out where the bloody hell is he?
"Juniper!" merlins beard gimme a heart attack why don't you! Remus was stood at the bottom of the stairs looking equally surprised by my presence.
"Hullo, Remus" I swear this boy is getting taller.
"hi...sorry um not to sound rude but what are you doing here?" he stumbles over his words, how precious "I-just mean, 'cause you're a Hufflepuff ya'know?
"oh aye thank you for noticing, no I'm meant to be helping Sirius with Muggle Studies" meant to be.
"Oh, well he actually asked me to help him with the potions essay hence" Lifting the books and parchment in his hands.
"Funny. He's not in your dorm I take it?" Remus shakes his head, merlin those curls are bouncy. "well I'll just have to wait here to tell 'im off then" turning back to my book.
"Do you like him?" What? He quickly clarifies "Shakespeare I mean, well his work," he says clearing his throat.
"oh aye this one's my favourite 'taming of the shrew', bit problematic but it has some good scenes ." I wonder if he's read it. "I have to admit it's always better performed," I turn back to the page I was on and murmur "s'not meant to be read."
"What part are you on?"
"where Kate and Petruchio meet for the first time." I smile, hoping he knows why. It can be a hilarious scene if it's done right. He nods and I go back to my book, play? script, no um-.
"Good morrow, Kate for that's your name, I hear." Hmm, he knows the first line, okay let's see how much boy wonder remembers.
"Well have you heard, but something hard of hearing. They call me Katherine that do talk of me." I attempt to put on the character, probably a good thing I didn't decide to be an actor as a bairn.
"Liar." I feel myself getting warm as he looks at me, eyes boring into me" for you are called plain Kate, and bonnie Kate, and sometimes Kate the curst, but Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom, Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate, For dainties are all Kate and therefore," he pauses slowing himself "Kate. Take this of me, Kate of my consolation: Hearing thy mildness praised in every town, thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded, yet not so deeply as to thee belongs. I am moved to woo thee for my wife."
Shite okay, pretty boy. I get up from my seat to stand in front of him just to be sure he cannae read my book.
"'Moved,' in good time. Let him that moved you hither, remove you hence." I feel myself smile a little as I watch him think over his next lines, "I knew at first you were a moveable."
"Why, what's a moveable?" He asks already knowing the answer.
"A joint stool."
"You're right, actually." his confidence falters as he hesitates on the rest o' the line "Come, sit on me."
I didnae think he was actually going to continue, well, I'm gonna have some fun with this one. I decide to do it and sit in his lap. Good lord, does he always smell like this? what is that, chocolate? line, what's the line. "Asses are made to bear, and so are you." I read attempting to regain my stubborn kate-like demeanour.
"Women are made to bear, and so are you," he says lightly patting my stomach. that smug mother fecker.
"Not by the likes of you!" I get up in an attempt to seem angry and not at all flustered.
Mockingly "Oh heavens, Kate, I wouldn't think of burdening you. I know how light and carefree you are." my he's really gotten into character, who knew.
"Too light for such a swain as you to catch, and yet as heavy as my weight should be." ooh we're getting to the fun bit, I wonder if he'll-
"' Should be'—should buzz!" he gets up off the lounge.
"Well like a buzzard, Buzz off!" he continues to move closer.
"If I'm a buzzard, you're a turtledove." He winks! what's this boy trying to do to me."Come, my little wasp, you're too angry."
Hmph well " If I be waspish, best beware my sting." I step toward him in an attempt to regain my composure. bad Idea.
"My remedy is then to pluck it out." he says, has his teeth always been this nice? Gods I wish I could wipe that stupid, smug look off his stupid face.
"Oh aye, if the fool could find it" I wonder how far he's going to take it, he clearly knows the play well.
"Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail." he's bloody close, merlin's beard.
"In his tongue." keep it cool, it is just a boy, wow he has so many little scars you wouldnae see until you get this close, they're faded, old.
"Whose tongue?" oh um-.
"Yours, if you talk of tales. And so farewell." I move back toward my things picking them up off the couch.
"What, with my tongue in your tail?"He's stood directly behind Merlin oh mighty "Nay, come again, Good Kate. I am a gentleman." oh my lord his hand slides down my waist, I smack it away before he moves any lower trying to stay in character.
"A gentleman? that I'll try!" whipping around to face him. Bloody hell he's staring into my soul I swear, he grabs my wrist and pulls me closer.
"I swear I'll cuff you if you strike again." Holy shit who are you and what have you done with boy wonder. No stop we're friends, but that cuffing thing dinnae sound so bad. oh crap, he's looking at me. you know kissing him wouldnae be a bad idea right now. If I just leaned forward a bit-
"Nice one James!" oh shite,
Remus and I quickly sort ourselves. Like nothing happened, hm."Oi, what happened to muggle studies hmm? what happened to 'oh please I'm failing I need your help' 'it has to be Friday night'?" I turn my attention to Sirius.
"I forgot?" of fucking course, I collect my stuff and proceed to walk toward the portrait hole.
"wait!" Remus stumbles over pulling on his robes "I'll walk you back if we get caught this late I can say I caught you out during rounds and am escorting you back."
"oh yeah, Mr prefect" I forgot about that." you hoping for head boy next year?"
"Nah."

Nervous ❥ Eddie Munson
˙❥˙ working meant getting money, you didn't know a nervous D&D master came with it too
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
an - AA IM ACTUALLY ENJOYING WRITING
Edited bc I messed something canon-
🂱 masterlist - part 2
Tumblr media
'One boring wonder woman comic', you thought to yourself, there was nothing wrong with the comic itself, but shockingly you're actually getting tired of reading. Instead of rereading the same line over again.
It's a Monday so no one's most likely gonna come in today, let alone buy something. Which is makes this day even more boring. Restarting your Lesley Gore vinyl. Humming as you reorganize the superman comics, praying that something, anything; cures your boredom.
It's a Monday so no one's most likely gonna come in today, let alone buy something. Which is makes this day even more boring. Restarting your Lesley Gore vinyl. Humming as you reorganize the superman comics, praying that something, anything; cures your boredom.
Little did you know a certain metalhead was practicing what say in the car. "Hi-" he said as his voice cracks, which makes him groan with his hands in his face. He doesn't even know if you're even working today, what will he even say? Is he gonna embarrass himself? Well he can cross that off here been in his car for the past ten minutes freaking out over nothing. It's not like he doesn't talk to girls. Being the local drug dealer kinda makes him talk to them.
But this, this is nothing like that. He actually wanted to talk to you. "God, this is pathetic." He never thought in years that he would be nervous to talk to a girl. And this girl wasn't intimidating at all. Chucking remembering what Henderson said last time.
🂱
"Dude you were being a total chicken with her." Dustin said getting in the van after Eddie kicked him out of the driver seat. "I'm never bringing you hear again.." Eddie told him as he started the van reversing fast out if the parking lot, Dustin chuckled.
"Honestly I've known her for a while she's friends with Robin and she takes Matt of the shifts here, because she doesn't want to be at home." He gave him a weird look.
"That's very specific.. don't you think?" He told the light brunette. He shrugged, "Robin talks a lot.. but hey now you can start coming here because she works a lot!" He says smiling at him.
"And you wouldn't have ever known she works here if it wasn't for me!"
"Yeah, yeah.."
🂱
He's already parked, he made it this far. All he has to do is just go in, and he did.. very slowly. Slowly but surely, he opened the door hearing the familiar bell ring. He looked at the register to see if you were there, but surprisingly no one was there.
Debating on just leaving but, someone has to be here. Walking around pretending to take interest in.. these batman comics, yea definitely. He walked to the other side of the shelves and saw you. You didn't notice him at first, busy reorganizing. He slid back to the other side of the shelves. He had a game plan, he really did; but he didn't think you were actually gonna be there.
He took a breath in and out, he tried to be cool sliding out and lightly bumping into you. "sorry— oh hey Y/n!" He said to sliding his elbow onto the comics, and leaning on it. You chuckled, you knew he was here the whole time, the smell of cigarettes, a tint of weed, and cheap cologne, which was somewhat new.
"Eddie, hi!" You smiled at him. Ever since he saw you here he's been going to English every day, late but hey; he was there at least! "I didn't know you read comics?" You said stopping your working to face him.
"Are you kidding? Who doesn't like comics!" He said a little too loudly which made him clear his throat. You laughed "well that is true.. did you need help with anything?" You asked him. He gulped, "well I was wondering if.." he started, 'come on, you already started just say hi to the movies that all you have to say.. now you look like an idiot staring at her... And her pretty-' "if?.." you started again interrupted his thoughts.
"If you can help me with my essay!" He said loudly again. "Oh well.." you looked around and looked back him, "sure! Why not!" You smiled at him. And then he realized what he said "thank you so much, I'll definitely be gone this year." You gave a confused look.
"Gone?" You said with a worried look. "Oh yeah you didn't know? '86 is the year that Eddie Munson officially graduate's!" He smiled learning more twords you while crossing his arms.
You smiled as well, "that's great! You get to graduate with me!" He nodded stranding straight and broadening his shouldes. "Is there anything else you need?" 'think think think-' "yeah I need help getting a gift for the nerd. Henderson.. I think you know him." You chuckled, oh yes you did.. and you knew his birthday wasn't till may... It's October.
"Oh yeah I know of that nerd.. I usually see him getting something D&D themed.. and sometimes a new batman or spiderman comic..." You thought for a second. "Are you by chance on a budget of some sort?" He gave a blank stare. "Um.. anything as cheap as possible please.." he said rubbing his neck.
You nodded.. "I got it! Wait right here.." you said going to the back of the store. Rumming through the little boxes finding a specific item. And you saw a familiar blue and white cap. Bingo.
While Eddie was casually waiting near the register, whistling. "Found it!" You said walking up to him behind the register and handing him the hat. He examined it, looks real nerdy he thought reading it. 'thinking cap' with what looks like lightning bolts.
"I know he really likes blue and white so I thought that he would enjoy that! I was gonna show him when he came but here you are!" You rambled smiling at him. "This is perfect thank you.. how much is it?" You sighed looking at the camera behind you, and looking back at him.
"It's on the house!" He gave you a shocked look. "No— no, no. I don't want you to get in trouble.." he said pulling out his wallet. "Please take it, just say it's from me and you!" He sighed. "Thank you that's very nice of you."
You smiled "Of course.. so when did you want to work on your essay?" Ah shit he completely forgot.. "well, what about.. are you free tomorrow?" He asked, "I.. believe I am. If anything changes I can call you, my boss just calls me in at random times..." You said putting the cap in the bag, and handing it to him.
He nodded and took out a ten dollar bill. "Do you have a pen I could borrow?" You nodded, you always had a pen on you. "Not a pen but a marker." You said handing him the brush tip marker. When he grabbed it he noticed all the little doodles on your hand.
He took the ten dollar bill and wrote down his number. "Uh— isn't that, illegal?" He chuckled. "I think everything I do is illegal.." he said handing you the dollar. "Call me!" He said smirking while walking out.
××× - ××× - ×××× ♡
'What did you get yourself into' you thought as he walked out. While Eddie walked to his van breathing out a breath he was hold in thinking to himself, 'i feel like I'm gonna hurl-'

aaaa hii!! idk how to do this but could i get a tbhk matchup? a lil bit abt me is:
my names banny, but my nicknames are bans or beans lol
my gender is female, and i'd prefer to get a male matchup
i'm very impulsive and spontaneous. like i blurt stuff out of nowhere mid-sentence, hop topics like nobody's business, and make random changes in my life on a whim like dying my hair or getting a bird
im generally a total dork LMAO like my favorite movie is scott pilgrim vs the world, i love horror movies and games, i play zelda chronically, one of my all time favorite bands is weezer, and my room is literally a dungeon of trinkets and posters!!!!
i love nature and animals, especially birds and rodents. sometimes ill pick up random spiders from outside and bring them inside, or put two different bugs together in a jar and watch them.
i wanna major in russian lit for college, and/or go to film school. im a total freak for english and literature, until i have to any essay or read any required books for school, and then i DESPISE every aspect of it
im very indecisive, and i tend to procrastinate a lot. i have adhd and literally debilitating anxiety, so my head is basically a cesspool of thoughts🙏 i have a habit of collecting things i dont need, and i have a very flip flop fashion style. like i'll be goth one day and then butch the next LMAO but i literally only wear the crustiest pair of timberlands like everywhere
i also have very dark and niche humor. ill call myself a siltmaxxed mulchpilled soilcel and then wonder why nobody gets it 😭😭
thats all, im so sorry if this too rambly, and no pressure to do it😭 tysm!
Aaaa hihi!! ^_^ Honestly it was a bit hard to pick someone to match you with but then that thing in cartoons where the lightbulb pops over their head when someone gets an idea and I was like "omg !!! Wait !!! Tsuchigomori !!!!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsuchigomori
I feel like, despite your differences, you guys would get along really well :3
He wouldn't mind when you randomly blurt stuff out, he thinks it's cute and likes how you speak your mind
He does get worried about you though
Tries to talk you out of doing some stupid shit
Although, honestly I feel like he'd be all for you dying your hair
(as long as you're sure you want to)
I mean.... Have you seen this guy's hair
No WAY that's all natural
Dork X dork real
He has no video game experience whatsoever and is honestly not interested in them at all
He does like how passionate you are about that stuff though <3
He's definitely a classical music type of guy
Or heavy metal maybe...
Anyways, not a big Weezer fan, but would listen to them for you if you put it on
Another trinket collector !!! :3
He's often find little trinkets for your collection or buy things relating to your interests just because he loves how excited you get ^^
Would love to see your trinket collection some time
He admires your love for nature alot <3
Sometimes he gets worried you'll try to lock him in a jar though
He's seen some shit 💀
In terms of literature, obviously, he's all for it
He probably has a ton of different books in different languages so if you ever wanted to start learning Russian literature early he's got you covered ;3
Would be happy to teach you about anything you'd like in terms of literature
Probably much more knowledgeable in English and Japanese literature, but he's a big nerd so I wouldn't be surprised if he's dabbled in other languages as well
In terms of film school..........
He can't help you
Besides getting you some books about film theory and stuff
He's not a fan of procrastination, he prefers to just get things done quickly so he doesn't have to do them later
That doesn't mean he doesn't get it, though
He's a teacher, of course he's dealt with procrastination before
With himself and students probably
Will try to encourage you to get your work done, and gives some advice on coping skills you could try
He's a bit harsh sometimes, but he just wants what's best for you </3
Very maternal in that regard
He definitely has anxiety as well, so y'all are struggling together
Will read up on some coping mechanisms for anxiety and tries to get you to use some, but won't force you
Surprisingly, he does like how spontaneous you are
It keeps him guessing as usually he can read people like a book
He doesn't get all of your different styles, but does enjoy them
He's a fashionista so he appreciates the variety
He 100% tries to get you new shoes though
Probably has nightmares about your shoes
Purposefully avoids looking at your feet because he can't bear to look at them
(sorry for the slander anon 😭)
(he can't help it, he's a princess)
Likes your dark humor, but is also very worried
Understandably so
Will do daily check ins with you to see how you're feeling
Teacher, doctor, therapist, librarian, fashionista, AND princess??????
You got the whole package tbh
Anyway, all in all, he loves you alot- despite your differences <33333333
All he asks is that you don't trap him in a jar and that you get new shoes
A/N
Honestly this was really fun to write :3 Also a ZELDA ENTHUSIAST????? AND LITERATURE NERD??? You're amazing mwah mwah ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this !! You seem so cool ໒꒰ྀི >ヮ<꒱ྀི১ Any feedback or constructive criticism is always appreciated<33 ^^
(Sorry for the shoes slander again btw </3)

btw salad what's ur opinion on eddsworld legacy?
For the most part, i think legacy is Okay. It's not the Best, but its nice to see so many people come together to finish off the show. I can respect all the work these guys did, especially tomska.
If you came for my option on the season and thats it you can leave, because the rest of this is me going crazy mode
My only real problems lie with only 2-3 episodes, and it drives me Crazy because they're By Far the most popular, so they've caused the most problems. This one question ended up becoming a giantic essay SORRY im just passionate about ebbworld
Keep in mind these are Just my options, I'm not going to look down on you if you're the number one The End Fan. If you like it then Cool, you can continue to enjoy it. And i can continue to hate it over in my corner
I'm keeping this section on Fun Dead short, mostly because it's not really the worst offender
The "Obliviously stupid to progress the plot" trope is so bad here. They've seen zombies before how do they not recognize them now. I get them being oblivious to super obvious things is the joke ,but its just not funny
For a Zombie centric episode, there's barely any Fighting. I feel like big fight scenes are what people like most with these. But no we get a 30 second montage, one that's not even animated
They are such wusses in this episode id bully them if i was there i think
The End. Don't even get me started on The End. Legitimately i have never seen such a botched finale in my life. Fair warning this is about to get long and angry im sorry
Let me ask one question: how come in the Finale To Eddsworld Legacy, the season Dedicated to Edd Gould and his work, Edd Himself does not play a prominent role? I'm not even kidding, you could write Edd out completely and Nothing would change. Ive heard people say this was Tomska going out with a bang before leaving the show, but from what i know he also wanted eddsworld to be completely over at The End. If that's true he could have atleast let Edd shoot the harpoon or some shit, come on
This is such a disappointing finale overall. They don't do anything exciting. We just get to watch a little "do you remember this episode?" Montage, all the sudden everything gets crazy then oh! Episodes over goodbye forever.
An end fight might have been more exciting had it been set up properly. They gave us the bare minimum, which was having tords stupid little gang tag appear a few times then having two of his coworkers/soldiers appear a few times. That doesn't hint at a Tord being an evil meglomaniac who's got a giant fucking robot hidden under the house
FUTURE EDD CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AS WELL, AND HE WORKS GREAT BECAUSE HE SETS UP THE LORE IMMEDIATELY. Tords return gave us Nothing beyond "he is manipulating them!!" Instead we get the book dropped on us halfway through the LAST EPISODE OF THE SEASON without ever being given any sort of explanation. That's just it.
ALSO FUCK BRINGING TORD BACK AT ALL. the dude asked to be removed from the show and what did they do? Hinted at his return like 15 times then had him come back as this manipulative mastermind, whos got a bunch of science stuff and a russian accent. At the bare minimum you could have writtten him to atleast resemble something close to Tord. There's literally more evidence that points to him being a clone than there is him being the real Tord, and it WASN'T EVEN INTENTIONAL.
Took a character who had left with all his loose ends tied up, brought him back with completely new unexplained info, then ended the show with both the original and the new loose ends untied. I've read this was Tomska trying to write Tord out of the show for good, but he somehow managed to do the complete opposite by leaving him at a LITERAL cliffhanger. Now all the 12 year olds are @ ing eddsworld begging he comes back for a redemption episode.
I could scream forever about the end but ive already said too much SORRY. This is why im just rewritting it myself to make it good
One last thing: its somewhat heartbreaking to me how Legacy has totally overgrown the classic episodes. Of the top Ten most popular videos on the channel, Seven of them are legacy episodes, with Edds three episodes being at the very bottom of the list
I just don't like it. I dont like how legacy has become like the Face of what eddsworld is. Maybe it's just because Edds work has been one of the biggest inspirations in my life (if that wasn't obvious already) IDK it seems unfair
Tldr: i dont like what legacy has done to the series and the fandom, but it's okay for the most part. Fuck The End though

hi z <3
im not good at writing and English isn't my 1st language so im super sorry in advance
im also bring to keep this as gender neutral as possible
dunno how open to this concept u are but : loser!chan and mean/bully!reader ? if not pls ignore/delete this ask lol
warning: unhealthy relationship dynamic
its not bullying out of malice but out of confusion, reader doesn't understand their feelings and takes them out on Channie who is head over heels for reader
uni/college setting would be perf for this channie does their hw, essays and other assignments for a little bit of their attention and reader plays around with him but gets upset at other girls who take interest in him
I really like this concept because of Chans ppl pleasing nature, there's just something so attractive about a strong buff man being desperate to please no matter what
this could be in form of doing assignments like I said but also bailing on band/sport practice because reader send him a nude telling him to come over or neglecting his needs to please them by performing oral on them until they come only to be send away ( and if he ends up cuming performing oral he gets made fun of and humiliated )
he doesn't know why he's so into them because on paper there's really not a single positive interaction between them but he really likes the way he gets butterflies every time they call him perv for getting an erection even though they rubbed their foot on his crotch in the middle of the busy library, he also sees the way they angrily stare every time a girl has the audacity to approach him, the way they go out of their way to humiliate this girl by spilling their drink or picking a fight with her
( I tried writing more nsfw but I am not very confident in doing so , so I will leave it at that , I will practice writing more but I just really like this dynamic and wanted to share )
with love, your bully anon
❕aforementioned warning: unhealthy dynamics
ive read this ask about 5 times over and i still melt at it. HELLO BULLY ANON youre doing things to me OUR TASTES CLICK SO MUCH???
really really love the way you put it: y/n cant really pinpoint what it is that they feel about chan, but their affection for him translates differently. they’re like fuckbuddies, a little more than just the usual “campus bully-picks-on-campus loser,” but less than an established relationship—at least, not yet.
maybe they were study peers: y/n needed to take extra time for their classes and chan wanted extra credits. they were unlikely seatmates, with y/n being restless and mighty while chan simply wanted to learn. eventually, what seemed to be something of a casual friendship became something a little more when they both realized they have some mutual feelings. y/n just doesn’t know what that feeling is; before they knew it, their display of affection towards him happened to be bedroom pain and pleasure.
imagine the possibilities with these two, though: picture y/n teasing chan and cockwarming him (either he is warming them or they are warming him), threatening him to finish their work before he gets to finish.
“no, no, —ah— not yet, channie. can you solve this last problem set for me? i’ll let you cum if you do.”
“oh, fuck—”
“do calculators talk, channie?”
they both sound a little stupid when they banter in (and out of) bed, but it’s better when y/n makes chan stupid from the fucking.
“can’t think straight in class, hm? can only think about me?” y/n scolded him in the emptiest hallway, slotting one thigh in between his legs.
“i-i, well, y-you sent the pic, and —ah— i couldn’t think straight.”
“but you were supposed to take my notes. aren’t you a useless little pervert? couldn’t even do the things i asked you to?”
they’re a lovely couple imo ^^ and i want to point out a particular thing you said:
there's just something so attractive about a strong buff man being desperate to please no matter what
😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 AGREED. ARE YOU READING MY MIND? this is precisely the reason why i bias ppl like chan. sub!chan makes so much sense in this scenario another thing about him that makes this better is that he allows them to walk over him. whether it be in a figurative or literal sense, he’d do anything: he’d compromise his reputation and allow y/n’s friends to laugh behind his back whenever they pass him by.
maybe he finds joy in the thought that y/n talks filth about him sometimes.
maybe he loves the thought that y/n thinks of him like that.
maybe he loves the thought that y/n possesses his thoughts so much he’d be willing to be their sore loser no matter what they do to him.
… im delirious now !!!!
& sorry i got back to this late because I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH WE ALL NEED TO INDULGE IN THIS THOUGHT! worry not btw, please indulge as much as you need to and no need to worry about fluency, english isnt my first language either <3
thank you for dropping by, bully anon! ily and i hope youre doing great, drop by again soon im looking forward to hearing more from you 🎤

YESTER. I kind of went on a binge reading spree of ur genshin stuff oops .. but omg I never realized how good your characterizations are until reading all of your aus side by side??? LIKE, I already thought ur characterizations of the characters was good, but OMG reading ur aus just made me srsly appreciate them. I DONT GET HOW U DO IT??? u manage to keep small tidbits of canon lore or eastereggs in these aus, while keeping them kinda separate and distant from canon teyvat, but u also manage to capture and keep the characters canon personalities consistent while adding your own little yandere twists. WHICH IS SOMETHING I THINK IS INSANELY IMPRESSIVE, from my personal experience of writing yandere, I kind of get swept up in making them a yandere to realize it's too ooc for them until it's too late, but i have never felt that you have wrote any of the charas too ooc even once. WHICH, LIKE, HOW????? how do u manage to add these delicious subtle yandere tendencies to some characters and then the more obvious yandere tendencies to other characters while all making it fit with the character as a whole?? like I'm over here nodding my head like "yes, that makes total sense considering his personality 🧐🥸" sorry if this doesn't rly make sense BUT ITS JUST SO COOL. and I also really like how u keep your yandere headcanons for characters consistent / staying in character across aus while keeping them specifically catered to that au?? :P I DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT 😭 but the way u keep some of their yandere tendencies (like venti and his perversion LMAOO) consistent no matter if it's the academy au, househusband au, or hybrid au is really cool, and it's not overdone to the point that it's like I know what to expect?? (does that make sense pls jelp) like ya venti has his perverted habits regardless of which au, but at the same time, u add something to each au that makes it slightly different and therefore unique so it's not repetitive and overused (???) IDK I JUST REALLY LIKE THE WAY U WRITE THESE LITTLE GENSHIN LOSERS LMFAOO
HELP SORRY THIS GOT SO LONG I just meant to make a cool little comment about ur writing but it kind of turned into rambling 😭💀💀
also happy pride month to u or ur followers if any of them r gay WOOHOO GAY PPL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈👍
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
omg babe this long ass essay's got me in love come here and let me give u a big smooch <3
ANYWAYS IM HAPPY SOMEONE APPRECIATES THIS... everytime i start working on my aus, i open the boy's genshin wiki and start reading the fuck out of the lore just so that i can have a good read on their personality... there's also some litle trivias there that if you expand on can make for some pretty good yandere
anyways anon you're so hot for this essay and HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TO THE ALPHABET COMMUNITY 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

also didn't care about kwak jihan until I saw him clothed.. I swear now it's more of how ptj draws men too shredded in his curreny style to my liking that I'm like :( when I first saw him...
kae i was planning for a short answer but the ask box hits different so here i am typing an essay i am sorry you can scroll down to the last paragraph for the jihan-related answer IT'S REALLY FINE I JUST BE TALKING
see i'm quite conflicted because in the old art style, they're mostly drawn as kpop boys, and big daniel was just that hot body counterpart who's more of a model who's treated better because he's handsome (aka the point of lookism) than a fighter (how did we even get here?!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but the manhwa became a fighting/martial arts manhwa so suddenly an influx of muscles 😭 big daniel's body doesn't change even if he eats a lot in that body, but illogically it can grow massive pectorals and biceps?! i feel like the entire lookism manhwa is just ptj's anatomy study sketchbook atp 💀
i feel like that's why as a reader too, the introduction of samuel & jake2.0 hits different (like finally some bara). for a long time we just had agile fighters like johan and eli and while nothing's wrong with that, the muscly guys were sort of something fresh for the readers.
i enjoy the nuances and differences in the design tho, the way some fighters are muscly and some w more athletic body types like johan, first gen dilfs built like bears, etc. (my only gripe is dg's art changing a lot, even his body type) feel like musclemen made more sense to ptj since they were on the countryside, and they were yapping about 'hard work' too much as in... physical work
jihan was just... uninteresting for me in the very beginning because he got that sleaze/playboy/teasing archetype and that's already being played by samuel. (sry im samuel lover, nobody shoot me nor even try to disagree. they jus have same vibes).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
also the archetype, in my expert opinion (lol), is more effective clothed. (obvious biased, self-serving opinion bc character design is one of my fav aspects of lookism) (omg, maybe that is why this post got long)
really excited how jihan's gonna differ from samuel (or even ryuhei if ptj decides to make him a lil goofy/unserious)
🚫 non-kaes that are minors who made it up to this point stop reading
frottage. like if it's that archetype then they have to be suited for frottage, wtf will he tease with when he's in a birthday suit

blinks at you. you were telling me about how some characters are living dolls or smthn yeah? tell me about that if you wanna :] im curious as to how it works. id say "biology" but. i doubt those dolls have organs 💔
THEY DO NOT. GOOD OBSERVATION. i will tell you everything about living dolls yes
Living dolls are brought to life using a spell, one that can create a soul to inhabit a body. Because this soul is artificial, you cannot interact with it in every way you can with a real being's. Things such as mind reading are very hard to accomplish, because as far as the ability knows, the doll doesn't have a mind to read.
To create a living doll, you must first establish a suitable vessel for the soul to inhabit, created by your own hand. It can be as simple as a humanoid shape crudely made out of yarn, or as complex as a life sized doll with realistic recreations of organs. You do not need to create every single joint, typically the spell will fill in blanks if you don't wish to spend the time stringing up anything that isn't the arms and legs. Some form of movement is required, however.
The spell will not always work as intended. At times, it will malfunction and bring undesirable traits to the doll's form or behaviour, causing disadvantages or potential danger. This can range from small things such as colour blindness and extremely sensitive hearing, to large, threatening things such as a devotion so strong the mind may become twisted, or the inability to lie without feeling like you are holding in a sneeze.
When creating a living doll, you must understand that you are bringing to life something that is functionally almost indistinguishable from a human being. Despite their artificial frame, they can feel the same emotions and think the same thoughts as any other person can. However, there are some key differences:
Living dolls are unable to eat or drink. Due to the bodies of most being completely hollow, anything consumed will become stuck in the body. Because of this, living dolls develop a gag reflex that prevents them from swallowing. Some incredibly detailed dolls are an exception.
Living dolls do not bleed, so puncture wounds are less effective. However, they can be shattered. Depending on the material or the outcome of the spell, they may become less or more fragile.
In most cases, dolls will have a very dulled sense of pain. Snapping off limbs will hurt about as much as a strong pinch.
Unfortunately, because of these differences, it's common to see living dolls used in trafficking or other demented acts. It is not any less illegal, however, so reporting any sight of these acts to the proper authorities is recommended and encouraged. Others may create doll children to substitute for real ones, whether they're infertile or for other reasons.
aaand that's all i can think of off the top of my head! sorry for the essay LMAO

i mean let's be honest it's probably going to be celebi or the ending(s) but if i had to mention a part everyone (can) knows i like all the characters' internal monologues in the void and most parts involving titania. granted i am not familiar with 80% of postgame also the elite four + champion
crim
most parts involving ace i mean what? haha actual nonspoiler answer for pre-postgame is labradorra, i think it's hard not to just say "everything" i'm rlly fond of most of the story;; love shelly in labradorra so much;;, the different PULSEs are hella neat and manage to feel really unique despite basically being one after the other, i love the gang all pulling up and storming, it's just a really fun segment and i love the aesthetic of the map as a whole also tournament starlight colors was so pretty no bias
postgame i think lati quest, hoopa was a lot of fun, jirachi is maybe not your traditional definition of fun but gutted me pretty hard so i have to add that one, celebi bc first quest i worked on so more bias, and tao bc im biased once again
this answer is like 99% spoilers im sorry this is not a helpful answer but if it's a part people know def coming back to the city after it's rebuilt and seeing it all cleaned up and there suddenly being a ton to see and explore and it's all pretty was almost jarring the first time i played through and it still always makes me smile or the void the void is a good one
azzie
I'm going to surprise exactly no one and say I love the tourmaline arc- especially on Reshi but also on Zek, there's a lot of environmental storytelling out there and I really love the Train Towners
I've also got a soft spot for the entire glass workstation arc- I think the storytelling there is masterful.
Apart from that… I like (redacted: the maingame ending where Anna gathers everyone's good thoughts and hopes to help you reach Lin; that made my heart just shine), (redacted: Celebi), (redacted: Hoopa, that was a freaking riot), (redacted: dialkia because there are BABIES and also neat lore), (redacted: Darkrai, it's mean but in a very good way), (redacted: the entirety of Xernyvel. Noel my beloved; puzzle my beloved; Shelly my beloved) (redacted: tao, all of it) and probably other things I can think of when it's not almost 3am, but they'd all be redacted too. Oh yeah definitely the e4 too Victory Road itself was fun too but more because I liked the puzzles
oh also i haven't seen it ingame but shade and anna's ending made me cry when i read it so there's that
autumn
While my favorite aesthetically will almost certainly be the Diancie quest, but my favorite part that exists:
Gameplay wise: The garchomp, finding silly ways to beat it every playthrough is one of the biggest deliberations i make.
Meanwhile Doctor clownall getting hyper beamed through a wall was excellent
smeargle
it's spoilers but kinda not if I just say El's elite 4 room, That doesn't sound spoilery does it like it's known he's in the E4 right? I'd also say zeraora's quest just because I had fun making that one
marcello
I'd love if you could just put a massive essay and redact the entire thing for me But joking aside I think the Glass Workstation is very funky

Here's a slightly old piece of art that I finished. I must say, I hate his pants. Why stripes? They're so hard to draw 😭 I'm sure I'll get less wobbly someday...

I don't know if people really understand the effect simple things have on others. As a fanfiction author, yes I write my weird little stories for myself, but once you get a comment or a kudos or a vote or whatever it may be, everything sort of shifts.
It gains a sense of responsibility yes, but it also gains a new excitement. For example, we've all been that little kid scribbling away with a crayon. We're going to do other similar crayon drawings, but nothing feels as good as showing that little picture to your parent, guardian, or whoever else. I and the other authors/artists are that little kid with the crayon drawing.
If you leave a comment, I will always remember that. Even if it's just 'good chapter.' or 'im about to commit murder 😃🔪' or '❤️❤️❤️'. Authors and artists remember these things!! If you are one of the people who leave essay comments, I have to sit down and take a minute to calm down enough to have a coherent reply. You dear friend, are wonderful.
If you keep coming back or leave multiple comments, I REMEMBER YOU!! I may even consider you a fandom friend or in Tumblr language, a mutual! I see you!!!!!
If you make art, or a story of your own, or make a translation,,,,,, I would die for you. I save the art. I look at it. I downloaded it to my camera roll and favorite it. I read your fic. I comment on it as well. I recommend your translation in the authors note because that may be more convenient for people to read.
I try to express just how much it means to me that you did any of the above things especially the things in the last paragraph. The words don't word. I end up going, "I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!" And "jteaykrsktrsotaptd" and it doesn't work. Well, not entirely. That may send the message across mostly. You see that on your side of the screen and on my side, you would see me pacing, talking to myself about how wow that is amazing and so sweet and oh my heck I would die for you, and doing a weird jazz hands thing and putting my hand over my heart, and sitting down because I need a minute-, and I never forget.
It makes me want to do so much more. It makes me love my weird little creation that much more and grants motivation. I ALWAYS remember. And I think about it all the time. And when I post more I think, 'oh, I hope this meets their expectations and I hope they like it!!' And 'wow I'm getting better at this, I wonder if they noticed?' And 'wow I love and appreciate you so much!'
Even if it's a little thing, it means the world to us little crayon drawing people.

I find it,,,,, interesting in a disappointing way but entirely predictable that hes branding this new album as a "classic parx album!!!1!!1!" When this honestly sounds nothing like parx at all imo. Like even new, crappier parx has a specific sound/vibe to it where i can immediately recognize that its parx but this new clip honestly sounds like it could have been cooked up in a windowless board room for mgk (🤮) or new avril or m*d sun or one of the tiktok boybot "musicians"........ Like if it came on w/o me knowing who it was id probably recognize his voice after a while hut there would be quite a but of hesitation.
And im wondering, does he really get that virality (especially of the tiktok variety) just,,, doesn't last?? For the vast majority of people at least. Like even if you go viral in a huge way (not something thats going to happen for parx tbh) you're the hot new thing for a few weeks at most and then the internet moves on, thats just how it works. And the ones who really DO get their "careers launched!!!" or otherwise boosted off of internet fame are always the ones w large expensive support systems already in place. im talking like olivia rodrigo whos a disney child star, mgk or willow who have been established artists for a while, jaden w an x or whoever who was already rich and viral before he started "making music" and immediately got picked up by travis barker. Like sure there are regular ppl musicians that got big from tiktok like penelope scott or mxmtoon but they're not nearly as big as the other ones.
So like,,,, even if that somehow did happen for parx it really wouldn't be a huge win!!! You get dedicated fans who show up to concerts by actually WRITING GOOD MUSIC, not sound bites. Sorry for the essay, ik its all been saud before im just long winded and frustrated lol
YEAHHHH YEP you make a lot of great points here and i agree w you LOL. i dont hate the music for this song or anything but it definitely also reads to me as that same “made in a lab” pop punk theyre churning our now for radio. its interesting because that new pop punk and the pop punk of the 00s (and pre-2018 10s) actually sounds super different. this new stuff is way more polished and synthy and electronic and THATS what this parx song sounds like. again i dont hate it and it could be catchy and ill wait to judge it when its fully out but thats the vibe i get
and thats the thing: he DOESNT seem to get that!!!!! hes staking HIS WHOLE CAREER his fate and the fates of his friends and bandmates on landing a viral tiktok hit WHICH MIGHT I REMIND THE AUDIENCE HE ALREADY FAILED TO DO WITH ONE ALBUM and not only is it not guaranteed its gonna get him nowhere near what he thinks. he thinks hes gonna get a viral tiktok audio and be lil nas x. no dude. songs on tiktok go viral all the time and only last a couple weeks. they go viral and their creators/artists dont get lasting recognition AT ALL. sure itll drive your streaming numbers up for a while!!! but those ppl are not sticking around after the hype wears off. ESPECIALLY if all your recent catalogue is bland empty cardboard lyrics you clearly designed for tiktok virality. why the hell would they want to stick around for that???? being lucky enough to score a viral tiktok song is not about to make you the next doja cat. and you literally have not even managed to go viral yet. stop basing your ENTIRE artistry and direction around this idea!!!!!!!!!!

the party doesn't start until i walk in LCBAB reaction let gooooooo
He put on a nice sweater, one without holes in it, and fluffed his hair a bit. He wanted to look nice but also not make it apparent that he had made some effort.
oh alec you virgo (is there gonna be any reaction to your fic where i stop mentioning alec virgo ass? maybe not)
It should be normal to think constantly about your friends 24x7 without it having any romantic intent.
the word alec is looking for is obsession. it always romantic feeling with friend and never a job
Alec wanted to meet the person who introduced the word beautiful. He wanted to ask that person what or who made them use this word and then tell them that beautiful was nothing compared to what Magnus looked like.
dont raise the dead just so you can be a simp its against the death code, dead ppl HR gonna have your head
Magnus jolted awake at that and started screaming. He took out the knife from under his pillow and launched it at Alec.
“Don’t come near me or I will kill you.” Magnus shouted.
when magnus keep a knife under his pillow its revealing detail on him and his background. when i keep a knife under my pillow im a danger to society????
“2nd May.”
no way in hell magnus is a Taurus at least pick a Scorpio date
And Alec was just—Alec.
and water makes things wet. we all know this
“I’m sorry.” Magnus said earnestly and it was all it took for Alec to forgive it.
alec needs to STAND UP i know he can. no virgo should forgive forget that easy stand UP
“Are you really using your childhood trauma to get out of being punched for saying stupid shit?“
Jace pretended to wipe fake tears from his face. “Is it working?”
the fact that you are making me relate to jace...evil?!?!?!?
Because how the hell was he supposed to survive without talking to Magnus for an entire week.
stream midnights by taylor swift it such a good album i know right
“Why does it matter to you? What the fuck does it matter when it is?” Magnus asked angrily.
me when im writing every essay. alec should have replied with "nothing" purely for the aesthetic
i was gonna make a joke about birthday as birthslay but my brain not functioning
Magnus held his face gently and Alec leaned into the touch. “I love you, Alexander. I’ve been in love with you since the day you had that law test and you forced me to quiz you for 48 hours and I hated absolutely every minute of it but I still did it. I love you more and more every day and I don’t know how to stop. And even if I knew, I wouldn’t want to stop.” Magnus breathed.
again stand UP
Alec was 32, and if he was being honest, he didn’t know why people had to work too.
actually nobody knows this it is another Bermuda triangle
“He is in a meeting with Abigail, right now. But he should be free any time now. I’ll just check in.”
um the amnesia au tease? are we okay?
Alec was fine with other people having a thing for Magnus. As long as they don’t act on that desire.
oooh amnesia au gonna wreck alec, serve him right for being a simp we cant be all too lovey-dovey around here
“I tried for ten years and these three convinced you in one night?” Alec said petulantly, bringing a chuckle out of Magnus.
maybe if u stop thinking with emotion and start thinking in strategic mode
this fic is just angst + trauma + alec being mega whipped to the point he can start a whipping cream brand + ari being the cutest + tease for hiadt when alec got dumped and his ex-husband moved on with his ex gf. again LAYERS
“Don’t raise the dead just because you want to be a simp” sent me. Your reactions like always are superior anh>>> I cracked so hard at the entire thing
Simp Alec would never stand up for himself and if you think it’s bad in LRHWY, wait till you read about HIADT Alec getting walked all over himself lmao. Also yes!!! Loved throwing that lil bit of amnesia au tease lmao.
I have honeslty no idea how this fic ended up being as angsty as everyone is saying it was lol. That’s what I’m saying—I can never tell which chapters or fics are going to be angsty and which ones are not. I’m in this with you homies jsjssjsk
P.S. Ari really do be the cutest I am love only one girl
