group work is Not It. I should have known better than to enroll in an engagement course that involves planning workshops with a group of other students……. guess who is doing all the work! :^) Back in tha day my teachers called me a ‘natural leader’… fun fact!!!! I am actually not! I do not like being in charge! it is actually just that people take advantage of me! Hope this helps
#God. I wanted to take the class so bad bc it’s about the history of art in prison systems#and it involves a weekly art workshop in a prison#the group that runs it is pretty blatantly abolitionist and partially run by formerly incarcerated ppl#so it’s made pretty clear that we're not ‘teaching’ art bc thats weird and enforcing a hierarchy if ur a 'teacher'#its more like a way to get materials inside and basically hang out with and make art alongside incarcerated ppl#under the guise of ‘volunteering’ as the dept of corrections labels it#anyway that’s all off topic but basically I am doing all the fucking work lmao we’re supposed to go in for the first time tomorrow and#my group members suck shit at communicating and the person who’s supposed to drive is like radio silent whenever I ask#where we should meet and shit#FUCK!!! I hate logistical shit like this#its taken us a million years to get cleared by the system (on purpose i stg) so its literally midterm time and we havent gotten in yet#i swear if our first one gets jeopardized by this girl who refuses to check her damn texts or emails or even come to class im gonna be so#pissed. lmfao#goddddd this is giving me flashbacks to when i took the class where we were supposed to do workshops at an elementary school#different vibe because in that scenario it was definitely supposed to be educational and we lowkey were 'teachers'#but my classmates also didnt do shit and i also ended up doing literally everything#WHY TAKE A CLASS LIKE THIS IF U DONT WANNA DO IT LIKE SERIOUS QUESTION#maybe they just want to put it on their resume LOL#they need a vetting process for this class i stg like interview these bitches before they enroll#cuz some of these people fr do not care

˚⊹₊ ⋆ updated manifestation routine ₊˚。
2024 it-girl manifesto
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hi all! so my last manifestation routine I feel like I missed a lot + have a new mindset now so I’m going to break it down in a better way lol. a lot of my mindset has been developed through esoteric philosophy, teachings of neville goddard, and edward art.
the foundation—
so this is what i base my thought process on, everything is mental. this is literally the first principle I learned of esoteric philosophy—mentalism. the mind has effects over all; mentally, spiritually, and physically. for anything to be/exist it has to come from the mind, this is also considered the “law of self” or the “law of one.” since our minds literally can’t comprehend what is imagined to be experienced vs what we’ve actually lived through, we can literally change ANYTHING through consciously shifting our awareness. some things may be viewed as “harder” or “more difficult” but in essence its the same exact process every time. and I only mean like conscious manifestation and not like past events/trauma.
rule one: find what works for you and practice consistency.
rule two: if you have it in your mind, it is already yours. feel it, touch it, smell it, embrace it. use your senses.
rule three: what is inside of you is outside of you—let it reflect without desperation, fear, or pressure.
intention comes first
if you lead with no direction where will you go? being able to understand what it is you want is a necessity to me when it comes to manifestation. I like to think of it as a mini ritual; writing or deciding your intention and then diving into the mindset revamp and everything else in store.
journaling, journaling, and more journaling
I journal literally everything in every style—meaning; when I start journaling I write short paragraphs expressing gratitude for my current manifestations. for more in depth desires, I will write pages about the experience of getting my desire, the feelings I felt, the people involved, the setting, etc. similar to gratitude letters, I just write gratitude vaunts. when I’m not vaunting I’m setting goals. goals can easily help us understand what we want and what we can do in the meantime to feel like we have it. I also journal sporadically, I read through all the things i’ve manifested through a couple months—for some reason this works insanely well for me.
state akin to sleep
SATS or state akin to sleep is basically being completely relaxed/in a drowsy state and envisioning your desire so its like you’re falling asleep in the wish fulfilled. this is useful because when you’re in this state, your mind is more accepting and receptive of your desires. neville breaks this idea down in depth but in short, there will be less opposition because you experience having your desire in this state and as I love saying; as above so below. as you continue this method the mental and physical planes will align.
subliminals + affirmation tapes
I always binge listen to subs for around a week to a month and then stop for at least 2 weeks minimum. idk why i just don’t like repetitive tasks but this way of sporadic listening has always helped me manifest better because I allow my manifestation to come to me. especially if it’s something I think is more of a material manifestation like a new car—I made a car sub and stopped listening after like 3 months of constant listening and my dad told me to clean out my car for my dream car.. like let it come to you babes.
detaching!!!
in my mind detaching is equally as important as intention. if you’re obsessing over something its more likely you’ll focus on the lack in the 3d instead of the abundance you have in the 4d. I force myself to not worry about my sp, put my phone down when I’m worried ab sales, and just relax because what is mine will always be mine. ways to detach… going on walks, drawing, focusing on hobbies, working out, yoga, listening to music, hanging out with friends or family, going for a drive, literally anything that brings you back to center and allows you to stop thinking excessively about your desire.
affirming 24/7
im always asking and telling myself how I would think as my most desirable self. when i’m worried about the weather, my designs, if my dates will go the way i want, or if my packages will arrive on time I affirm immediately, “the weather is always so amazing. I love driving in my area’s calm, nice weather. everybody always loves my designs, why wouldn’t they? I’m literally one of the most famous designers in the world. I always have picturesque fairytale like dates with my SP because he loves me and wouldn’t let me settle for less tff” and like its been mentioned before, we have thousandss of thought a day so a negative thought literally cant hurt you or your manifestation but affirming can be extremely helpful for those with anxiety or intrusive thoughts imo.
manifestation lists
i write a list of everything I’ve manifested every month to remind myself of my power. at times ill even throw in a few things that I am wanting at the moment to remind myself it’s already mine. every time I manifest consciously I scroll through the list just as like a confidence booster I guess.
visualizing + vision boards
im constantly visualizing what I want in my present. literally money in my hands, my new computer in front of me—visualize, visualize, visualize. thats definitely a really big part of my routine, also making vision boards and having them on my phone, on my walls, etc. using apps to make it more convenient like vsco, pinterest, notion.
sigils
making sigils helps me kinda detach too! this is definitely not a necessity, I only remake my sigils every year or when I feel uneasy about something. over time i’ve noticed that with ones i’ve used for safety/peace, I have to actively choose which energy to embody. nobody will come into my space causing me to be in a stressful mood unless I allow it—imo it helps a lot with conscious creation.
challenges + rules
I make a lot of challenges that I do privately and every time I stop/revert to thinking about the 3d I have to restart. I always give myself repercussions for feeding into a lack mindset because why would I do that when I live a life of abundance? im not like hard on myself or anything its just about maintaining the idea until it saturates. I also use like 10-20 manifestation rules that I have and follow on a daily basis, I would also recommend making your own list of rules because if you don’t have a standard to follow its harder to stay focused. some of mine are—
ᥫ᭡ everything I desire manifests the second I desire it.
ᥫ᭡ I manifest anything I want instantly.
ᥫ᭡ only my desired thoughts manifest.
ᥫ᭡ nothing can stop me from getting what I want.
ᥫ᭡ the 3D changes instantly for me.
ᥫ᭡ I have such potent undeniable incredible power.
ᥫ᭡ I always manifest what I want on the spot.
as above so below, as within so without.

This is the fourth part of a long-form piece about a robot and a giant computer. It contains adult topics, overt sexuality, blatant robotfuckery, toxic lesbians, unbalanced power dynamics, wireplay, and lots of other things that may be triggering or make you uncomfy. Before reading this, previous chapters are on my blog under the #salvage tag.
THIS IS THE CHAPTER WHERE EXPLICIT SHIT STARTS HAPPENING! If you're uncomfortable with high-intensity robot bondage stuff, I highly reccomend you don't read from this point onward.
Salvage - 04
Time inside - 04D/11H/23M
Levels deep - 50
It's been two days in the room, and you're starting to lose it. Since Ven left you here, you've explored every inch of the empty space, inspected every tool on the table, pulled at every panel, tried the door more times than you can count. You even tried messing with the cable she gave you a bit- If it's removable, you definitely aren't the one who can get it out of your charging port. You're bored to death, and the only entertainment you have is trying to make sense of the foreign datafeed still passing through your thoughts.
It's not like there isn't a way out of the room. Ven made it clear that all you needed to do was call for her and she'd come to bring you whatever you needed. You're sure that would include anything to help pass the time, but each time you start to consider that you push the thought away. It's a matter of principle. Whether she means for you to be or not, you're her prisoner here, and giving in to relying on her would only make that more true.
You sit on the floor with your back to the charging bay you no longer fit in thanks to the cable, absentmindedly swinging at the panel beneath you with one of the pry wrenches from the table. Thin cracks spread across it each time you make contact, almost instantly fading as the material self-repairs. The thought strikes you that Ven might be able to feel the strikes in the same way you feel your plating, and you're filled with guilt. You slide the wrench across the floor, and it makes a soft thunk as it collides with the wall.
Somehow, despite the overwhelming boredom, your emotions are too much right now. You pull your knees to your chest and bury your screen in them, trying to compose yourself and slow your fans a bit. You want to call for Ven, you want to ask her not to leave again, to stay and let you listen to her pretty voice, but you can't. You can't let yourself crumple that easily, no matter how much better it would make you feel. Instead, you try to focus your attention on getting out.
You've tried the door and the walls, but they're all sealed with no way to get a grip on them and pry them apart. The ceiling, though... Your focus shifts to the spot above you where the ceiling panels split to allow your cable to hang through. You shuffle a bit to the side, and as the cable glides behind you the panels silently ripple open to make way for its movement along their perpendicular seams. Your assessment that the room was inescapable may have been premature.
You bring the cord's entry point over to the table, kicking away some of the tools as you climb on top of it. The entry point doesn't look like much more than a few centimeters of parting between the ceiling panels, but that should be all you need. You're just barely tall enough on your toes to jam your fingers into the gap, putting all the force you can into trying to spread the tiles.
While they may have removed all of your weaponry when they activated you, your body IS still that of a combat unit, which means the limb strength to pry and tear through basically anything you can get a firm grip on. They put up a good fight, but eventually the panels buckle and form a gap around the cable big enough for you to hoist your body through. You pull yourself up into the ceiling, and you're out. Easy.
It's evident as you crawl through the cramped space between the panels and the layers of endless machinery that it's not designed for anything but survey arms. You can see dozens of them around you as you drag your cable forward, lenses pressed to the cracks in the ceiling, looking down into the room you were just in. Ven is almost certainly already aware you're gone, but it should at least be much harder for her to track down your exact location and detain you when you're in here.
At this point, the plan is a mix of panic and vague ideas. If you can crawl to the exterior where you came in, you could potentially stay connected to the cable while you signalled the corporation to come retrieve you. There's a good 30% chance they'd repair you instead of taking you apart for scrap, and you're still weighing whether or not those odds are worth taking. You push onward and try not to think much about how this plan requires you to ascend 50 floors without being caught by the near-omniscient being whose body you're inside.
As you drag yourself towards the vague idea of a next destination, you find yourself marveling at the bits of technology you pass. Though most of what's used to keep Ven operational is sandwiched away in the thick segments between levels, you still see frequent reminders of what makes her work scattered and embedded in every surface. Whirring fans, twitching motors, glowing apparatuses you couldn't even begin to guess the purpose of. Then, the path narrows and you find yourself face to face with something you've only seen in design data.
A huge cable interchange fills the entirety of the path in front of you, its dim multicolored glow illuminating the constant action which fills its center. In every wall of the hollow cube, dozens of thick cables are plugged, being removed and replaced and slid around the area to different ports entirely autonomously. You watch mesmerized for a moment, in disbelief at how so many extended cables could be moving in the same space that quickly without tying themselves into a giant knot. Everything is perfectly optimized to move data to different sectors of Ven's structure through wired connections as quickly as possible.
Your amazement fades a bit as you realize that on either side of the interchange is a wall that stretches as far as you can see in each direction. You can see that the space continues on the other side of the interchange, but... Moving through there seems like it's going to be a problem. It's that or turning around and crawling at least a few more kilometers to find another way, so... Interchange it is. It will be fine. You'll stick to the edges, and be through to the other side as quickly as you went in.
You keep your body low to the ground as you drop into the interchange's basin, trying to huddle as close to the corner as possible as you dash from one side to the other. Wires fly on all sides of you, and you duck to narrowly avoid one which nearly snares you by the neck. It looks like you're home clear, though. Just a few more steps until you're at the other edge, and...
As you cross the threshold, you feel something holding you back. You turn and see a dark cable wrapped in a loop around your ankle, thrashing against you in an attempt to get to its designated port. Shit. You try to shake your leg free from the straining cable and find yourself losing the battle, slowly being dragged back into the cube of the interchange despite your scrambling against its pull. The edge of the box reverberates as your hands are ripped away from it, and the cable finally slots into its intended destination with a pop as it pulls you into the air by your ankle. You dangle helplessly upside down and try desperately to wriggle free as the interchange races around you.
A second cable zips around your waist with an L shape, scissoring your body between it and another with an almost mirrored position. More quickly than you even have time to fight against, cables wrap themselves around your body as they rush from destination to destination. Before you know it, you're dangling precariously in the middle of the chamber and bound too tightly to even struggle. You can feel them pressing into you, tightening themselves so much as they strain towards out-of-reach ports that a lesser model's plating would crumple under the force.
They really, really seem to hate how tangled they are. Maybe almost as much as you do. They fling themselves wildly in any and every direction, seemingly unable to comprehend the reason they can't access what they're meant to be accessing. And so, unable to plug themselves into the right places, they settle for the next best thing.
You feel the first plug jam itself into one of the ports on your hip panel, which hangs open and exposed in the commotion. You cry out as the instant rush of data floods your head, making you squirm against the binding cables in a different way than before. Your thrashing stops almost entirely as the ability to feel the cable wrapped around your own body, twitching and pulling against so many others, becomes the only thing you can process.
The cables don't wait for what you can process, though- Almost immediately, each of the dozen ports on the panel are filled with wires, removing themselves and being instantly replaced every few seconds when they briefly realize your body isn't the right port. The dataflow is overwhelming and all-consuming, filling your fuzzy thoughts with ecstasy and forcefully squeezing out the ability to feel anything else.
You're barely even moving anymore- Your ensnared body spasms occasionally, but any will you had to even think about struggling against the pleasure is long-gone. It's hard to tell how much time passes- It could be seconds, it could be years. Everything else has faded away to the feeling surging through you, including your concept of time itself.
You don't notice as the panels around the interchange fold out and open up, revealing your predicament to the rooms below. You don't notice as a figure rises to your level, examining the mess you've gotten yourself into and shaking her head. You barely even notice as the interchange powers down, dropping your limp and twitching body into Ven's inviting arms.
You register that you're comfortable, that you feel safe, that everything that was scary is now gone. You register that her body is larger, more complete, packed tightly with more woven survey arms than you can count as she holds you against her chest. You look up at her, unfocused cameras barely able to see the red glow of her face, and you register that she's beautiful. Then, everything is dark.

HAHA here it is! The Berry dca head-cannon masterlist!
Looong post ahead beware.
Tumblr media
Sun:
-They can actually draw really, really well but is limited by the fact they can only use crayons, if provided with the right materials their art style would be very watercolor dominant and look like something out of a classic children’s book. (Think the ‘promotional artwork/merchandise’ from welcome home or the in-game art of rain-world)
-Gender-fluid but often male presenting
-Asexual, even if they had lips they would not enjoy kissing or anything stronger than that, however they do adore hugs and cuddling!
-They find it a lot easier to express louder emotions, anger, happiness, annoyance, excitement, etc. they’re an ugly cryer as well.
-Due to their lack of facial movement, they’ve adopted a constant flow of physical expression/movement, even when they’re going to sleep they’re still moving! Usually including (but not limited to) swaying from side to side, fidgeting with their hands, or in-place dancing like they do in game!
-They have very intense anxiety, but they were good at covering it up until Moon got the virus, becoming inconsolable whenever things got to their head afterwards.
-Adding onto that last one, they’re an overthinker.
-They have a love for makeup and sometimes hang out with Chica to play around with face paint. They’re the reason they and Moon have the starry eyeliner I give them in drawings.
-They keep a Moon plushie in their ‘room’ that they’d project him onto while in control, and they never sleep without it. (Even with the virus)
-They’re a huge theater nerd, being a particularly big fan of Hamilton and the Jekyll and Hyde musical +basically anything Disney, though they don’t get to quote/see those as often. (Their fav is a tie between Princess And The Frog and Tangled)
-They get VERY jealous very easily.
-When they’re having a bad day and Moon isn’t available they usually have a gossip party with Roxy and chica where they bitch about the incompetency of the workers or a particularly bad Karen over imaginary tea.
-Continuing from the last one, Sun also enjoys doing Roxanne’s hair when she lets them.
-Their eyes were white while having the virus since they scratched the paint off clawing at their face whenever Moon took control (or tried to).
-They love the children’s drawings and are very quick to praise them! Adults on the other hand are when they get sassy, ‘if a robot programmed to act like a child on all levels but intelligence can drawn better than you then you don’t deserve any respect anyway’ type mindset.
-If you’re over the age of 13 it’ll be a lot harder to get on their good side, but usually if you’re nice to them they’re nice to you. Unless you’re staff, they’d explode any and all staff members with their mind if they were capable of it.
-Favorite color is green.
———-
Moon:
-Goes by he/him, it/its, and they/them on occasion
-Hat functions as a tail/third arm. Its rim is attached to his head by a Velcro like material or a magnet once placed on.
-The nightcap is stored inside his stomach hatch, which is shot out by the second button on his chest.
-The upper/first button on his chest activates a musical function, the music is generated through a music box attached to the throat of his endoskeleton. Sun can use it to, but they can’t pick the song like Moon can.
-It was the one who confessed first (See)
-Moon was originally a generic fruity Disney villain character in the theater and would act out on its emotions through a theatrical, more cruel lens than they were at heart. Though he underwent massive restrictions being added to his code alongside heavy reprogramming when being relocated to the daycare.
-He is demisexual and/or Asexual, he is open to kissing but nothing more intimate than that. Otherwise, he has the same boundaries as Sun.
-Moon acts like a cat in as many ways as you can think of. Enjoying the sensation of petting/rubbing or scratching on his head, purring when happy, hissing and growling when angry or threatened, and his nightcap flicks and sways near constantly when he moves, straightening and shooting upwards when he’s annoyed and doing said hissing, and curling around his torso when he’s afraid.
-He’s also just as physically expressive as Sun! Though in different ways. Constantly shifting from foot to foot, bouncing on his feet (as shown in game), tilting his head to express what his eyes can’t, and fidgeting with his fingers like Sun. Moon is also no stranger to stimming, though he tries not to around anyone besides Sun.
-He is autistic.
-If he had a functioning mouth, its go-to stim would be chewing and biting, Sun would have no issue with this and sometimes offer to be the subject of it instead of himself.
-He has anger issues as a result of his past programming, though has long since found techniques to calm himself down for the sake of Sun, pre-virus anyway.
-Moon is a huge victim of masking, most of the inhabitants of the plex still believe him to be a maniacal monster because of this.
-He desperately wishes to go outside and see the world, hanging out infront of the glass doors of the ‘Plex’s entrance after hours to look at the stars and occasionally asking Sun to paint what they think it looks like out there.
-He keeps children’s drawings and various nicknacks inside his hat. Magnets, plushies, shirts, paint sets, severed animatronic heads, you name it and it’s probably hoarding it in there.
-He’s extremely self-conscious and overcompensates to either get people to stay with or away from him.
-He’s a wonderful singer and enjoys doing duets with Sun in his spare time!
-It sleeps with a Sun plushie and often keeps it with him in his hat at all times.
-He is very much aware of their actions during the Vanny virus and sees them as proof that he’s a horrible person.
-Moon is the reason the daycare was closed down, being responsible for a child going missing 3 different times times with the help of Vanny, until being fully taken over by the virus. (While under the virus’s effects Sun did not shy away from holding this against them.)
-He loves Sun dearly, though is extremely envious of them, he would never admit it though.
-Favorite color is purple
———-
General/both:
-GR!Foxy was Sun & Moons best friend and trusted them with her life, as did they with theirs. This persists through their relationship with Roxy though they’ve gotten significantly more distant since she became part of the band
-Their theater backstory is Sun being a rouge court-jester that joined Foxy after he visited their kingdom. They were then cursed to have their deepest, darkest thoughts and desires manifest in the form of Moon.
-Adding onto previous, Moon is the in-universe reason for Foxy missing a hand.
-The skirt was a gift from Sun! It wasn’t/isn’t a part of their original costume and they both wear it as a symbol of their love, which is why it doesn’t change during their transformation.
-Moon and Sun were the patient zero of the Vanny virus, both being different prototypes. Sun was given a version where it heightened the flaws of the animatronics programming and personality, I.e their anxiety and jealousy. While Moon was given a removal of rules and restrictions, affectively turning the infected into a wild animal or a zombie. Both types were installed 3 months before the rest of the cast and both were modified/reworked due to being ineffective, the first being too unpredictable and generally useless while the second made the victim too tough to control. Though they were basically considered failures and Vanny never bothered to put the updated version into their systems, deciding it wouldn’t be too important
-They’re a tag team! If one doesn’t feel like they could deal with a specific person they’ll send the other one out to defend them (‘Soooo bad, I should turn off the lights myself.’), or they’ll just feed the one in control insults from the head-space. Sun specializes in more personal, action based insults that cut deep while Moon makes judgments on character and rapid fires.
-Sun wants to be friends with Vanessa, Moon does not. She hates both of them.
-Freddy sees both of them as a singular identity and is, put simply, a massive jerk to them, but he has a particular sore spot for Moon.
-The broken staff bots in their room were taken from multiple different places, Moon would sometimes clean up after Monty so he wouldn’t be caught or they’d find an already malfunctioning one and put it out of its misery. They’d then take it back and try to learn how to repair them so they don’t have to rely on parts and services anymore to sustain themselves.
-They’re both really into playing pretend and crossdressing!
-Eclipse goes by they/them and is omnisexual & polyamorous
-Eclipse doesn’t have a favorite color, if you asked they’d just answer with ‘rainbow’ or ‘I can’t decide!’
-Eclipse was a backup ai in-case Moon went rogue that failed to activate. Sun commandeered it into a way for them to both be in sync again post-Ruin as they were extremely basic and non-sentient.
-Balloon world Eclipse is what Vanny would use to infect the boys and communicate with Moon.
-Even if they were put in separate bodies they wouldn’t leave each other alone, Moon would latch onto Sun’s neck and let them drag him along while they do their job and whisper little comments to make them laugh into their ear just like they used to in their headspace, Sun would follow him around during naptime and try to keep contact, usually holding hands or, on bad days, riding on his shoulders.
-adding onto the above, if they were upset at each other they still wouldn’t be more than a room away and make sure the other is in view at all times. DO. NOT. SEPARATE, no matter how bad the argument is, there is nothing worse to them than being alone with their own head.
Aaaand that is all! TYSM for reading <3

All right listen up therians, specifically dragonkin and those with similar tails- I'm showing you mine, and how to make one like it.
Tumblr media
So this is an articulated tail, it moves on its own but still holds its structure and doesn't sag and get tangled in my legs despite its length. It makes noise when it moves, but there's probably ways to fix that.
So to start, draw the silhouette of your tail in its resting position on a piece of stiff fabric, then cut it out. The color does not matter as you'll be covering this piece up entirely. The important thing is that this fabric is not elastic at all, otherwise your tail will be very saggy.
Next, mark lines where you want the joints to be. I tried to keep mine mostly vertical so the tail didn't hang in unexpected ways and drag on the floor, but you can do whatever fits your tail motion the best. Then, use some stiff and bulky material to cut out the individual panels that you've drawn twice. I used cardboard, but you can probably use foam blocks if you want more volume. It helps to trace the shape from step one onto your material, then cut the resulting shape into panels to get the final pieces. Make sure you keep track of which pieces are which.
Next, use some kind of glue or adhesive to attach the panels to your base fabric. Depending on how thick your panels are, you may need to remove some of the material around the joints to allow them to move freely. This is the basic structure of your tail.
Tumblr media
Once you have your structure, cut out fabric pieces to create your scales. You'll want to cut out individual pieces for each panel, otherwise you might restrict the tail's movement. I cut my pieces on a fold and folded them over the top of the tail to make the top smooth, since it's the bit most people are going to see. Also, it's a good idea to make each cover piece slightly longer than its corresponding panel so that you can overlap the pieces to hide the joints. You can attach these pieces with adhesive or sewing, whatever works best for you.
Tumblr media
To make the base of the tail, just cut out a cardboard piece that can fit your whole tail base on it, and cut slits in it for a belt as seen above. Before covering up the top section of your tail, use glue to attach the edge of your tail to the base plate. Depending on what kind of cardboard you're using, you may want to scratch up the surface a bit first. Then (preferably before the glue dries) use masking or duct tape to strengthen this connection. This part should be completely stable rather than flexible, though a little bit of give is okay. Once you're satisfied with the connection, cover up the base section and base plate with your decorating fabric.
Sorry about the vagueness around materials, techniques, and such. It's kinda reflective of the way I approach crafting as a whole, and I literally used the stuff I had on hand at the time (hot glue, cardboard, leftover fabric scraps from my wings) to make this tail.
The design was inspired by this YouTube video btw:
youtube
Anyway, hope this helps someone! I know, right, an actual post instead of incoherent ramblings about the inside of my brain, but sometimes my impulsive posting gives me the impulse to do something actually useful for once.

Teach Me, and I'll Teach You
Tumblr media
Kinktober Day 30, Neteyam
Warnings: 18+, Aged Up Characters, Mutual Masturbation, Sex Toys
@pandoraslxna
“Teyam, I want to see. Can you show me?” I ask, running my fingers through Neteyam’s braids.
Neteyam turns his head away from where he buried it in my stomach, looking at me, “Are you sure, Yawne? If that is what you wish, then I’m happy to teach you.” Neteyam slowly sits up from being wrapped around me.
I lean towards him, “I’m sure. One of the reasons we haven’t considered fully mating is because of the differences in our biology. What if we show each other how it works for us?” I offer shyly, playing with my fingers.
He grabs my hands, bringing them to his face, “Yawne, don’t be shy. I think that’s a fantastic idea. This way, we can learn about each other safely.” Neteyam kisses my hands.
I smile at his words, simply happy that I made him happy.
“I must admit I am excited to see you fully for the first time. I have never seen you without all those tawtute clothes.” He admitted excitedly, his nose wrinkling at my human clothes.
I giggle at his words, “You try living your life with your genitals hanging around. Not to mention, whenever it gets cold, I have a ton of jumpers to wear.” 
“Tawtute and their inability to regulate their own body temperature, if it weren't for your need for warmth, I would have rid those things long ago, dressing you in my people's clothing that I will weave you myself.” Neteyam looks far off like he’s fantasizing about it now.
Slowly, I remove my jumper, “If you make me something, I’ll gladly wear it. Maybe you can teach me how to weave, and we can weave together.” I mention as I remove my undershirt.
Neteyam’s tail swishes in pleasure, “The next time we have the day off, I will bring the materials and teach you.” His eyes dilate as he stares at covered breasts.
I blush at Neteyam’s intense stare, fiddling with my jeans as I slip them off my hips, leaving me in my underwear. My undergarments were nothing special, a basic beige color that did its job properly, but Neteyam looked at me like I hung the moon. I raise my arms, trying to cover myself. 
“Don’t cover yourself, Yawne. You’re so beautiful; please let me see more?” He asks, gently moving my arms. 
I nod my consent, and Neteyam works to take off my bra, struggling with the clasps, before he eases it down my arms, revealing my breast to his gaze.
“Beautiful,” He mutters, trialing a finger over my nipple, which hardened into a peek.
I gasp at the gentle touch, arching towards his finger. Neteyam retreats as he moves to untie his tewng. He slides it down, showing his smooth front. The only noticeable thing was two of his stripes along his hips joined into one, low on his navel.
Using my last bit of confidence, I pull off my panties, exposing myself to Neteyam. I move so my back is resting against the wall opposite of Neteyam. My legs stayed crossed, hiding from his view.
“Do you wish for me to show you myself?�� Neteyam askes.
“Yes, please, I want to see you,” I whisper.
Slowly, Neteyam slid his hand down his front, sliding two fingers along the central stripe. He moves his fingers up and down the line, and I can see as his stripe starts to part for his fingers, opening enough for him to insert his fingers inside.
I gasp as Neteyam’s fingers delve deeper into himself.
A deep chuckle comes from Neteyam, “Not expecting that, were you, Paskalin?” His voice was breathless as he removed his fingers, and slowly Neteyam’s cock slid out.
The base of his cock was the same color as his skin, but it lightened into a beautiful lavender color at the leopard tip. Spine-like ridges cover his dick, from just under the tip, to almost all the way down. It was beautiful.
“Now, Paskalin, it's time for you to show me yours,” Neteyam demanded as his cock bobs in the air. 
Slowly, I uncross my legs, not yet spreading them, “Please, Yawne, please let me see you,” He begs. And so I relent. I spread my legs, showing him my pussy, already glistening from our little bit of play.
 Neteyam’s went wide as he saw my glistening cunt, “Now what, Yawne? What do you do to feel good?” He asks me, as his hand slides up and down his cock. 
I fidget for a moment before asking, “In the drawer next to you, in the top drawer, it’s small and pink. Will you grab it for me?”
Neteyam cocks his head to the side. Before doing as I asked, he rummaged through my drawer until his large hand emerged with my bullet vibrator.
He hands it to me questionably, “What is that thing, Yawne?” Looking at the device oddly.
I blush down to my chest at his question, “I-It’s a-a, it’s a vibrator.” I stutter out, “When I press this button, it makes it vibrate, and that feels good,” I manage to force out. 
Neteyam leans back, spreading his long legs on either side of my own, cadging me in. His hand leisurely dragging along his cock, as he pays attention to the different spines along the shaft.
Knowing I have to do it now. I turn the vibrator on, the feeling traveling through my hand. I ease it down, my navel resting right above my cunt. Taking a deep breath, I slide the vibrator through my folds, already bringing me immense pleasure. I moan at the contact, wanting more, as my juices pool on my sheets.
“Fuck, Yawne, you look so good,” Neteyam groans as his hand speeds up a little.
I blush at his words as I trail the vibrator over my clit and hold it there. I squeal at the intense vibrations on my most sensitive palace, bucking my hips at the feeling. I slide it down again, circling my hole, before moving back up again, covering it in my slick. As I move it down again, I top at my hole and push it in, the vibrations rattling me to my core. 
“Teyam!” I moan, calling for him, needing him.
“Oh, fuck, Yawne,” Neteyam’s hand was faster than before, and the spines on his cock were rigid, flexing in the air. 
Neteyam’s chest was heaving with each breath. His cock was drooling precum, covering his finger and dripping onto my white sheets, staining then a light blue.
I laugh through my moans, “Of course, it’s fucking blue,” before a well-aimed thrust hit my gspot. 
I clenched around the small vibrator as it entered my oversensitized cunt, my slick covering my fingers. Using my other hand, I rub my clit, little circles in time with my thrusts. My core tightened, nearing my release.
“Teyam, Teyam, I’m close,” I whine, knowing I won't last much longer.
“Then fucking cum for me, baby,” Neteyam growled, and his words sent me over.
My vision whites out as my back bows, “Neteyam!’ I scream his name as a flood of cum escapes my cunt. Wetness hits me, and I see just in time as Neteyam’s head is thrown back and ropes of his cum landed on me as we came together. 
I turn the vibrator off and take it out with a whimper. My hips rolling from the leftover feeling of the buzzing in my cunt. 
“Teyam?” I call to him, my brain unable to think of more words.
“I got you, Yawne,” Neteyam picks me up and lays me on top of him as we drift to sleep.

Help girl we're stuck in a candy store.
Yet another dumb frock fanfic by Basic lol.
"Alright little Timmy! Here comes the aeroplane!" The mother said as she moved the spoon of food towards the kiddo, but as the kid was about to eat the very yummy food,
*Thwack!*
The spoon was knocked out of the mothers hand by what seems to be a rubber band, worst thing yet, the food spilt on poor Timmy :( "OH DEAR!" The mother said as she quickly tries to wipe the stains.
From a nearby bush, a very evil laugh can be heard, "She never saw that coming! Oh and look at the little twerps face! Its PRICELESS!!" A certain yellowed faced jerk said as he cackles evilly once more. "Dude! Not cool, look how sad you made them," says a swell gravestone fellow hehe Im' having fun. "Well duh, that's the point! Its called a prank for a reason dude!" Frown said as he got out of the bush, Brock just rolls his eyes and gets up, it was just like any normal day really. Frown causes trouble and drags him along for the ride. Not that he doesn't like coming along, he loves tagging along to hang out with him. But maybe it'd be better if he would've told Brock it'd be a scheme thing. Cause he kinda doesn't like those lol.
"Well, that raps up my bucket list for today! Let's go home and celebrate my very awesome accomplishment!" The lil stinker said as he took out his car keys, "No way dude! You promised me we were gonna get me some snacks afterwards!" Brock said as he crosses his arms, clearly done with the others bullcrap probs, "Oh, yeah about that- can we get it another time? Its getting late and I'm pretty sure the stores are cl-" Frown stopped after noticing how upset Brock was, okay, if there was one person in this kingdom that he didn't want to see sad, it'd be Brock. I mean, they have a loonngg history together and as much as Frown may deny it, he kinda took a huge liking to Brock. Not in like, a lovey dovey way, like nooo pshh. No way. More like, a friend. Maybe. Frown just groaned and offers his hand to the other, "Fiiinnnee, we'll go get your stupid snacks.."
The other smiled brightly, so bright it was almost blinding. Brock grabbed frown and hugged him, even if frown absolutely hates it when he does lol. "Yayy! Thanks dude! It'll be super quick I promise." Frown just squirms in Brock's arms, of course he hates hugs. He was never a huge toucher. It was kinda nice though. But only when Brock does it if anyone else does he's choosing violence. "Yeah yeah whatever..now can you let me go?" Frown said being the lil grump he is. "Oh yeah- sorry-" he just drops the other down Man how do you elaborate. Then they just yeet to their car and vroom vroom to look for a store or something.
The traffic in the unikingdom wasn't as bad as the one in frowntown. Actually, it wasn't filled with traffic at all so they found a store pretty quickly. Speaking of the store, it was kinda like a mall but just a bit smaller. Think of the place to look like your local walmart. The place was loaded with lights which was just burning frowns retinas. He covers his eyes a bit from the lights. Sheesh, talk about over decorating. Brock just hops out of the car, "You wanna come with dude?" Seriously? Why ask that question in the first place? "NO!! The last thing I want is to be surrounded by a bunch of smelly idiots!" Frown said as he just sits in a more comfortable way in the car. "Pfft, of course. If you like, change your mind you can just go inside and look for me in the snack aisle. See ya dude!" Brock said as he waved bye bye to frown and went inside the walmart thing.
Okay so now frown's alone in the car park place. I mean, it was peaceful and quiet but he was bored out of his mind. Just looking at the people come in and out of the place wasn't very fun. Especially since he couldn't really like, terrorize any of them. He doesn't have the materials to do so. And then out of nowhere he gets the idea to hop out of the car and go look for something to do instead so he does exactly that. I mean he did find like, a giant rat just moving around and a bunch of people walking around and stuff but that wasn't very fun. So he just decides that it was too boring for him to stay and chooses to go inside the mall and hang out with Brock instead. It's at least less boring to be hanging out with your bro while shopping than it is to being alone in a car park.
Anyway he goes inside and looks around to see if he can find his buddy chum pal. Didn't take him long though cause a grey gravestone is very easy to spot in a vibrant background lol. He just runs over to Brock who was looking at a box of cereal and clings onto his arm. "Oh, hey dude. How'd staying in the car go?" Brock said as he puts the cereal in the lil cart thing he was holding. Frown just glares at him making the other chuckle, "it's okay dude. I mean now you can tag along with me so that might be more interesting for you."
"Actually it won't be that interesting. This was more of a last resort than anything! Don't think of this as anything else."
"Right, Gotcha. Oh by the way, which cereal do you think is better?"
And like that they were just chilling and shopping, nothing interesting enough that I can elaborate on. Until they stumbled upon the "toy" aisle. At that time it was pretty late, most people have gone home and stores near the area were being closed. Only like, a couple more were open. "Why are we even here? Aren't we just getting snacks?" Frown said as he crosses his arms grumpily, dude just wants to go home already. "Just a sec dude, I gotta look for something really REALLY important!" Brock was just looking through a bunch of shelves filled with lil cartoon figure thingies. He's a sucker for those. Frown never understood why he liked them cause you know, they're just toys that take up more space in their room than necessary. "Ugh! Just get the stupid toy already!" "Hey! Rude, it's not stupid it's valuable." "Ugh whatever! Just get the stinkin' thing and let's get outta h-"
And boom, before frown could finish his sentence the lights were off. Like, they were gone. Blooped. It was dark. And frown was a huge scaredy cat so as soon as that happened he immediately clung onto whatever was near to him, which was Brock lol. Brock blushed a bit and pats his roommates head to sorta comfort him? it was working so whatever heh, "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHTS?!-" frown said in fear, the grip he had on the other becoming more and more tighter, "Its okay dude chill- lets just go look for a worker or something and ask them about this?" Brock said he tried to loosen the grip the other had on him.
After a bit frown finally came to his senses and let go of his roommate and turned away from him, possibly to hide his face which was tinted with some pink blush. Brock chuckled a bit and held his friends non existent shoulder, "Pfft- its alright dude there's nothing wrong with being a lil scaredy cat," Brock said teasingly, frown just turns around with the regular ol' frown on his face as usual and smacked Brock's hand off him looking at his direction, "Wha- NO WAY!! I wasn't scared you were- ugh- whatever let's just get out of here already-" frown said as he grabbed onto Brock's hand and pulled it with him.
After a while of walking in the dark and getting nowhere, "Dude? do you even know where you're going?" Brock asked frown who just groans and sits on the ground all angry and stuff. After frown was done throwing his fit, they decided to just hang around in the food aisle thing whatchamacallit. The food was just there on the shelves for free and there's no one to stop them so,, they just took some and ate it. "Soo,, you have any ideas?" Brock said as he ate a chocolate bar, frown just shrugs and drinks his coffee, "Its pointless anyway, NOBODY is gonna be here to help us! so we're just stuck in this- place, with everything we need, all for free, and we can't afford usually,,," Frown said as he came to the realization and looked at his roommate with an evil lil smile on his face.
Brock just raised an eyebrow at that, "What?" Frown went over to Brock and put his arm around him, "Don't you realize this dude? We have ALL this stuff to ourselves now!!" Brock wasn't to sure about that, being the good lil boy he was, stealing stuff wasn't really his forte. "I dunno dude, wouldn't that be like, stealing?" Brock said touching both his non existent fingers together. "Uh, duh! that's the point!" frown said as he rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about it, it'll be fine! no one's here anyway!" Frown said trying to reassure his friend. It took a bit, but Brock soon agreed to it. "Fine, but you better promise not to go too overboard on this."
Frown just made a lil victory gesture of sort which if you asked Brock, he'd call it pretty adorable. sometimes the reason why he even agrees to stick around with frown on these types of schemes is cause he likes seeing his friend all happy and excited, its nice. now that might make him sound like a bad person but can you really blame him? he's been crushing on frown for YEARS after all. Suddenly brock's daydreaming is interrupted by frown waving his hand in front of his face, "Uhh, dude? you dead or something?" "Oh- Oh uh- no- lets just go-" Brock said as he got up. Frown just brushed that off, it probably wasn't anything too important anyway.
Frown first started with the aisle they were in first. He took some cookies and a few sodas and put it in a basket (which he also stole). Brock wasn't really keen on the idea of taking the stuff. So he decided to watch over Frown and making sure he is um. Tamed? Picture it like making sure your dog stays on a leash and doesn't tear up your flower patch. Frown started giggling like an idiot at how evil he felt in that moment. He'd never stolen so much from a store as he was then, "Gosh the store is so gonna be bankrupt with all the stuff I'm taking!" you can insert another evil giggle here. Gosh, he loves that idiot. Brock keeps repeating that in his head everytime they go out and do this kind of stuff. But really, It's the truth. He'd never loved someone more than frown. If only he could just hold him in a more, loving way. As they maybe, sit on the couch. Watching a romantic movie. Well- they already do that but in more of a platonic movie night between friends way. He doesn't mind it of course but really, he could only yearn to be viewed as more than friends by his roommate. To be fair, frown is either ignoring his feelings or is just that dense and to be fair, he hopes for the latter. His daydreaming was cut short when frown accidentally dropped something he was holding. once he looked back at frown (in a less lovey state) only to find he had taken way more than he could carry. "DUDE THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH." Brock said, clearly that won't be able to fit in their car.
"Ugh it'll be FINEEE. We can make room and push it in." Frown said as he puts the overflowing basket down to stretch out his back a bit. carrying all that stuff was already doing bad things to his back. gosh, aging sucks. Brock just looks at him with a sorta 'I'm so done with you' look, but it was more softer of course. "Yeah right, and people wouldn't expect a thing when we're driving through the highway with a car full of items?" Frown stood there and thought a little. Okay, as rare as it is for this to happen, he might've overlooked that one. he groaned in an annoyed tone, "Fine whatever." He crossed his arms in a lil grumpy way which made brock wanna absolutely squish his cheeks. which he did. "Dawwww, don't be a lil grumpster now. Tell you what, how about instead of stealing, we just go and have fun in this place instead?" frown swatted his hands away from his face and looked at him angrily before thinking for a sec, "What kind of fun?" he said crossing his arms and looking unintrigued at Brock.
"Well I saw that there was a furniture aisle with tons of cool stuff to mess around with so like-"
"Ooohh!! Good idea! I could try and mess up the items and put them in the wrong places!! The employes are gonna be soo mad tomorrow!" frown said, interrupting Brock (rude) and doing that weird chuckle thing he did in the show when he has a dumb idea. FYI this wasn't what Brock was planning on saying btw. "Oh um, sure i guess. If you want." Brock said a little upset. He felt a little feeling of disappointment in his guts. Mainly cause he was mostly planning on just relaxing with frown there. But you know what, whatever it is makes frown happy, he goes with it. as long as nobody gets hurt of course.
"Well? What're you waiting for?! Come on!" Frown said impatiently, tapping his nonexistent foot on the ground and crossing his arms.
"O-oh- right- come on, follow me."
After a bit of just walking they finally arrived at the aisle and boy was Brock not kidding when he said there was tons of cool stuff in there. cause there was like, TONS OF COOL STUFF IN THERE. Frown's eyes had the lil hint of excitement in them. mostly he had the evil look though of course. he immediately began to unplug the tv's and move the vacuums to the blender section. Brock just lightly chuckled at how excited he was at just messing up the place. Though the lil feeling of disappointment was still churning in his guts. He felt as if he kinda screwed up a perfect opportunity. He tried not to overthink that fact too much. He'd only started feeling this feeling now which was weird to him. guess the darkness is really starting to set a mood in him or something. especially since it's just them. Alone. Brock went over the the beds part of the aisle and flopped onto one. he couldn't sleep obviously, not without his nighty night kiss. but it felt nice to lay down finally after standing and sitting all night.
Meanwhile frown was having the time of his life. He decided he was gonna misplace the pillows from the sofas. He laughed evily at the monstrosity of a sofa he had created. A grey sofa with bright neon yellow and pastel green pillows on each end, along with a bright blue blanket. Could bring tears to the eyes even, whether it be negatively or positively. Other than that he also misplaced multiple appliances in the place. He let out a content sigh, "Would you look at that dude! You could say I really outdid myse-" as he went to nudge his roommate, he realized he wasn't there hah moron. "wha- Brock?" Frown called out to his roommate. Brock never answered which compelled frown to go look for him. It's unlikely he got hurt. I mean, how could he. They're just in a mall after all.
After a while of just mindless walking, he finally saw Brock laying on one of the beds in the bed aisle. Frown felt a little angry that he didn't respond to his call earlier and decides to give him a little surprise instead.
Frown picked up a pillow and slowly tip toed his way towards Brock who looks a little dazed? Whatever it is, but he's definitely distracted. Maybe he took a nap. Frown just decided to not think too much of that. He smacked the pillow at Brock. Who jolted up in shock. Brock turned around towards frown and pulled him onto the bed.
"You little sucker!" Brock said lightheartedly as he held frown tightly. Like a bear hug maybe. Frown struggled to free himself for quite a while until he decided to just relax and lay in Brock's arms to the others surprise. Brock let go of frown who just slowly slid down Brock's chest which made him wiggle a bit from the weird feeling. He liked it though.
Frown then got up and looked at Brock with old grumpy expression. "What're you even doing here dude? It's so boring." Frown said as he crosses his arms and scoots closer to the edge of the bed. Brock couldn't just tell him 'oh I came here to try and distract myself from my fat crush on you!' no way. "Oh I uh, just came here to lay down, that's all." Brock said as he did the awkward gesture of rubbing his nonexistent neck. Frown looked at him in the eyes which made Brock look away immediately in response. Frown felt a bit uneasy about that. A feeling he feels so rarely he forgot how it felt. He felt bad. He knew that something was bothering him, but he can't really muster up the courage to try and ask him about it. His pride won't let him. But he knew if he didn't do anything about it, Brock would just continue to be upset and he wouldn't want that. After a solid minute of back and forth he decided to just shut out his thoughts completely.
Brock felt that the silence was a bit awkward and decided to turn back to frown to apologize. he assumed that maybe frown would be looking away grumpily and crossing his arms, waiting for an apology as usual. But this time, he was met with a much more, warmer presence. And by that I mean frown grabbed him by the sides and went in for the kiss. Brock was first overwhelmed by shock as his eyes widen by the sudden kiss but as time went on he slowly melted into it. It was a rare for frown to engage in physical touch like this. let alone a kiss that lasted longer than 5 seconds. They weren't going super hard at it or anything, it's just, a light kiss. but it was longer. after a minute frown pulled away. Brock looked at him and chuckled a bit, "Duuudee, what's with the sudden kiss?" Frown blushed after realizing what he did. How was he gonna come up with an excuse now. "WH- WELL- I-" he stuttered struggling to come up with a working sentence, his mind was practically just a blur at that point. Brock smiled gently at the other and grabbed frown by the place where his hips would be and placed him on his lap. they were in a sorta cuddle situation which made frown start to heat up from being flushed and somewhat anger too. but mostly being flushed.
"Well, if that was your own way of trying to cheer me up then, congratulations dude! You definitely did." Brock said breaking the silence. Frown wiggled a bit in the others grip, which made the other let him go. It wasn't cause he was uncomfortable or anything. He just, felt a bit restless. Especially since he suddenly has the blaring thought of him and Brock doing more gross lovey dovey stuff together, yuck. Maybe it's the darkness of the room or something, it's making him feel more mushy than before. author has no idea why he wanted to write him like this. Brock felt like he had to say something anything when all of the sudden, "Hey, dude?- I um- know this sounds super dumb but do you want to,,, uh-" Frown trailed off as he looked at Brock who was blushing as his eyes sparkled in a way that made frown's heart race and words to be stuck in his throat. He can't tell if that's part of his imagination or not. His face completely red as heart sparkle matter matter started to fling out all over the place. Brock knew exactly what's going on now which made him blush deeply as well. He brought up a hand to cover his mouth to hide his goofy lil smile. His heart pounding in his chest. Holy crap it's happening. But as he looked at frown, he looked like he had just malfunctioned. Brock chuckled as he leaned towards frown and firmly held frown's face as he kissed him. Frown returned it pretty quickly as he closed his eyes shut and grabbed brock by the sides.
This time, their kiss was much more deeper. Not deep enough to be considered anything sensual. After a minute or two, they finally pull away panting a bit. Brock looked at frown who seemed a bit dazed like he was just in a trance of sort. "h-hubba hubba!-" Frown blurted out which made Brock burst out laughing. Frown snapped out of it finally after that and immediately felt mortified at what he just said. He started smacking brock to silence him but that does nothing. Which makes Frown just grumpily look away from him. After a bit Brock finally calmed down a bit, "Pfft- wow dude- didn't expect YOU out of all people to say THAT-" Brock said trying to control himself, frown was still a grumpy about that which made Brock scoot closer to him an poke him playfully. "Naawwhh don't be such a grump noww. I thought it was pretty cute dude!" Brock teased lightheartedly. Frown stared back at Brock still with a frown plastered on his face. Brock pinched his cheeks a bit. "Oh cheer up maann, you know I'm just messing with you. Now come on, let's go watch a movie or something!" Brock said holding his hand out to Frown who sighs and takes it.
They managed to get the display tvs on and watched the amazing bulk together. Brock felt Frown's head fall on his nonexistent shoulder, Brock smiled softly as he turned of the tv. poor dude, must've been all tuckered out after all that scheming lol. Brock kissed him goodnight since he already got his nighty night kiss earlier. he fell asleep right there too.
.
.
.
.
"Hey,"
"HEY!"
The both of them were awoken by the sound of someone yelling, as they look around, the place was all bright again and they surrounded by staff members of the store. And they did not look happy.
Frown blinked for a bit adjusting to the brightness before his expression became more crossed.
"shoot."

Hi! It's me again 😙 this is my second time sending you a ask 🤭💜 what i wanna know is did you ever talked about run bts ep 12 i mean about jikook acting out a whole fanfiction in front of our eyes?! 😂🤭 if you have talked about it before can you post the link for me please? 🥺 hope you are having a great day! love you!
Hi!! Lol episode 12 is a trip. It's essentially throwing the members into a Cops & Robbers AU and Watching them all just flirt with each other the whole time to try and get out of trouble or otherwise 😭 the best part is rhat they did it on their own. Lol the way it's explicitly stated by the staff at the start of the episode that there is no script, its all just whatever they come up with as they play their assigned roles 😭🤣
Tumblr media
I'd guess this was filmed sometime around the same time as the last episode for the school skits too. Either Decemeber 2016 or early January 2017. The Episode here to watch:
And the behinds for episode 12 here:
vimeo
There IS SO MUCH worth talking about for every member and every duo basically in this skit. Lmao the run episode that gave way too much material to work with to fanfic writers. Lmao but I'm just going to focus on jikooks moments in the episode for this post.
JK playing the deceive and Jimin the criminal. Our first interaction comes when JK comes to take Jimin away. Lol and he does so quite aggressively. Pulling Jimin up by his collar to drag him away 🤣
Tumblr media
When it's time for Jimins interrogation, After Jimin is acting annoying snd cute in the cell trying to get attention. Lol JK comes over to pull him out. Jimin was sitting with his legs through the bars. JK comes and slaps the inside of his thigh before Jimin climbs down. When the door opens, JK stops Jimin from running off, picks him up over his shoulder and slaps his ass. Lol and when he puts Jimin down they both kinda freeze and look at each other for a moment. Like perhaps they got a bit too into the roleplaying and like perhaps they had to remember what they were doing snd where they were before continuing on 😅🤣 both looked a little momentarily dazed there 🤭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JK interrogates Jimin for his crime of setting fire to ARMYs hearts, pulling out his am I charming photo as evidence. Lol Jimin tries to flirt his way out of trouble. Yoongi interrupts interrupts once but man the flirting just cannot stop! And I've already said they were all low key flirting with each other through this episode. But man, the VIBES were insane with jikook. Like it really seemed like they were flirting snd teasing for real and using this as a roleplaying excuse and everyone else was being a little more joking around with it 😅🙈😂 Eventually JK decides to make Jimin dance to Lie for him to reduce his sentence. Lol Jimin is CLEARLY embarrassed but does it anyway, even shooting JK some finger hearts.
Tumblr media
For me though lmao it looks like he was just setting JKs heart on fire not just ARMYs 😅😍 Man looked entranced. His fake gun went a little loose in his grip. His hand went up to hold his heart. Lol and idk, did Jungkook even blink?? He enjoyed the show. Clearly.
Tumblr media
They end up switching places, Jimin hit JK over the head with a book in a joking manner and totally flustered himself 😂🤣 immediately getting back up and giving up on being the detective. Lmfao the flirty vibes in their whole section is intense! At the end they show an alternate sketch to where jikook have a dance battle and then both get put into jail. 😭🤣 the fall of the detective. Lmao of which Jimin ends up escaping and leaving Jungkook in jail alone!
Tumblr media
In the behinds we get even more goodness. Lol we see Jimin flirty calling from his cell for the detective. Truly just embracing his role 😭🤣 "detective, I'm bored. Come play with me!" "Detective, bring me food!" Lol it's the tone of voice for me! Not playing is interchangeable with hanging out, it's doesn't always have the sexual connotations it does for adults in english. But the flirty tone is flirty either way.
Tumblr media
And we also see JK working out. Doing pushup and squats. When the camera Pans out after namjin go by before he starts squatting, we see Jimin was in the cell that whole time. Sitting in between the bars, just enjoying watching JK workout. Really just enjoying the show. Lmao I think it was a good episode for them both honestly 🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like I said.... just quite the episode. The flirtatious were dialed all the way up 🤣 I still can't believe JK spanked his ass like that. I don't think they could believe right away either lmao
Thanks for the ask!! Such a good and yet weird episode. Lmao I love it

Victor slid across the ice, blades cutting feather thin lines into its fresh shine. His movements were graceful, fluid, full of possibilities. He was going to gather glamour, he would put it to good use. He would get a hold of the oracle and an interpreter. Or he'd learn Chinese. Ether way.
Gliding, arms turning out, slowly lifting towards the sky, palms arched in reverence, Victor imagined the rain of snow that kissed his skin when ever he felt a fresh dream. He drew his arms in, cupping his heart thrugh his chest, long hair flowing beside his face like a vale of silver ice. His feet arched, one over the other as he gained speed. He jumped. The spin felt natural. It landed clean. A triple. He followed it with a moments notice, a double taking him to the next step sequence. He could feel himself, face mussels and long limbs burning like cold flame. The music covered him in kisses made of dead men, there inspiration caught in the air, Victor's to interpret.
His hips bent as his back arched, toe loop step, fluid hands. Toe loop - try to be en pointe, use that toe pick - step, powerful sweeping motions as you flow that twizzle into a sit spin. Pull it into a lay-back... use your core mussels to rise into a scratch. Step sequence as you convey, emote. Use your whole body. Your face. Don't forget the grace of your line...
"VICTOR!" Yakov screamed into the void. A silver head snapped around as his blades cut a sharp C, stopping himself from continuing. Flicking his stakes as he glided towards the grumpy man, he once again wondered if he wasn't a very well hidden knocker.
"Yes, Yakov," he purred. "Something I can help you with?"
"Arch your back more. You're toe is to low, and your twizzle looked like you weren't even trying. Air, Victor! Air! Look like you're gliding yes, but you should fly!"
Victor felt his smile plaster on. "Sure, Yakov. I can do that." He could almost feel Madame Baranovskaya staring him down, telling him to not waste the dross on something bound to get him tested for sanity.
It goes like this in practice for hours. He's not ready to get off the ice. He knows he can do more. He knows he can make another rotation on his Salchow. But reality is going to gobble him up feet first if he doesn't shower, eat, and hang around people with actual imaginations.
He's not sure what to do. What he knows is that sometimes children let loose dreams. They play in the parks and on the streets. They bounce about pretending fantasies so powerful they taste like sweet cream. Umm, sweet cream. A pastries. Trubochki? Vatrushka maybe? Milk and honey, a basic thing to fey, a kin to vitamins in humans. Mother's milk, warm and welcoming. Damn. He was starving.
Walking to Primorskiy Park, Victor watched the sky, felt the cold, smelled the air, and watched his step. The shadows were trying to cling to him again, trying to warn him of something. He wasn't sure what it was, but for a moment he thought he heard someone laugh, smelled the scent of chocolate, and then it faded. Shaking his silver locks, Victor watched as children played, their screams little more than an echo at the highest end of sound.
Sitting on the frosty bench, Victor looked at the children, their parents keeping lax eyes as the water fountains played with the empty spaces. He'd got his pasties, was about to indulge in a powered sugar covered delight when - like the right hand of Madame Baranovskaya herself - came chaos and sound the likes of which he's not experienced before.
Several small dogs chased a rather large Siberian Husky right over the bench he sat, across the bag of goodies, over his entire form, with one rather enterprising spaniel slamming a muddy paw right across his forehead. It was disappointing. It was disgusting. It was shocking. It... surprised him. He hadn't been surprised since he came to the material realm. How exhilarating!
He could feel himself lift from the soul up. His insides were floating on a glowing tide of power, fueling his innate abilities. A slow, steady snow began to fall. People began to gather their children and animals. They fled to the places snow was not supposed to go. And Victor laughed.
Marvelous! What joy! What was that creature? Could he get one? He must have one! Smile brighter than the cloud covered sun, Victor rose, eyes bright with liquid delight as he whispered with glee, "I must have a chaos animal! Where do I get one?"
He'd use the computer to find a place to get a cleaner animal. One as well breed as himself, and just a much of a joy as the muddy print in the middle of his head.
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, part 9, part 10, part 11, part 12, part 13, part 14, part 15, part 16, part 17, part 18, part 19, part 20, part 21, part 22

how long does it take you to draw and colour? since you post everyday which is great for me :D any tips for colouring cause Im still tryna figure all that out
hmm welllll, i don't exactly time how long it takes to draw but my partner said that sometimes i'll be working on a piece when they go to sleep and i'll still be working on it when they wake up 7 hours later so...my guess is anywhere from 3-8 hours each depending on complexity? at least for the art that i normally post, most of which is relatively simple.
not entirely sure what kind of tips you were looking for, but i'll just throw out some of my thought processes and stuff i try to keep in mind whenever i color. i'm gonna try and keep these relatively to the point so i won't go into much detail on art terms n whatnot, BUT i am also pretty terrible at explaining things so if you need clarification on anything, feel free to ask!
(sorry it's so longggg, i got carried away. i am...very wordy when it comes to art lol)
i like to block in the colors during the sketching stage before i do the lineart, especially for pieces where i know i want to do something funky with the color palette. you can see this in a lot of my process shots. doing colors in the planning stage just gives me a lot more freedom to focus purely on the colors and shading and how they work with the composition, without having to worry about the minute details like making sure the colors are inside the lines.
in order to save time while coloring, i'll usually just select the negative space (after making sure all the lineart is closed) > expand selection by 1 pixel (to make sure the edges are hidden within the liineart) > invert selection > fill bucket, then use clipping layers above that to color individual areas.
layer modes are your friend! i use multiply, overlay, and glow dodge (this one may be specific to mangastudio?) in almost every one of my drawings, but it's definitely worth playing around with all of the modes just to familiarize yourself with them if you haven't already.
color is honestly SO subjective. i'm never a fan of color picking (from source material or my own refs or whatever) bc while it may have its uses when it comes to consistency, imo it's much more fun to make them up as i go. you get a lot more variety from piece to piece while also familiarizing yourself with the character's palette that way. usually i'll start by deciding on the overall mood/palette (cool/warm, de-saturated, neon, pastel, etc), filling in the background color, then picking the characters' colors based on that. like with this venti pic, i started with a purple background and based my colors around that purple so they all fit the specific look i was going for. i could maybe get a similar effect by starting with the normal colors and using filters, shading, layer modes, etc to get the funky colors, but it will be much harder/more work and doesn't get as drastic of an effect imo.
Tumblr media
on that note, don't be afraid to use shades/colors that may seem odd! you'd be surprised how many times i've used gray in place of blue, orange, purple..basically any color. in the above example, you can see just how different the colors ended up being from the original. after i decide on my palette + bg color, i'll just throw down the color i think will work and then (bc that first guess is usually wrong and meant only as a ballpark estimate) see if it needs to be warmer or cooler/darker or lighter/more or less saturated/etc and adjust accordingly. it's like mixing paint or tuning an instrument! it takes a little bit of practice, but after a while you start to get the hang of what colors will look like in which color palettes. white is usually the easiest to start with bc it will always just be tinted whatever color your palette is (like how the "white" in the above example is just a light purple).
this and the next point are more about shading but i include it as part of the coloring process: the easiest way i've learned to do shading is to darken the entire image/character/part you want to shade (usually with a solid color multiply layer) then add in the lighting either by erasing parts of the multiply layer or by using a separate layer set to overlay or glow dodge (or a similar lightening layer mode). it works a lot better than drawing the shadows imo because it kind of mimics how light works in real life; things are dark by default until you let light in and it hits what it can while leaving the rest still dark.
if you want to blend shadows, i usually still use the above method, but just blur certain areas of it and when i'm deciding which parts to blur (bc i don't just do so indiscriminately) i'll mentally sort all of the shadows into 2 categories:
shadows created by light being blocked by an object: like putting your hand in front of a flashlight. these shadows will retain their sharp edge, but can transition into the 2nd category if they are far enough from the obstruction, like how your hand's shadow will become blurrier the further you move it from the flashlight. the more distance between a light source and the surface it's projecting onto, the more chances for the light to scatter = softer edges
shadows created by light "rolling" off the surface: like the shadows on a ball or rounded surface. these will get blurred and i usually like to put a little bit of color along the blurred edge (a different and usually brighter/more saturated color than the rest of the shadows) just to add some life to the shadows.
here's an annotated version of this mikey pic with just the shadows so it's a lot easier to see :) sorry im bad at annotating..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
aaaand this post has probably gotten way longer than you were hoping for so i'll cut it off here 😭 hope this has been at least somewhat useful, and good luck with your art!

hi, let's get to know each other ☆
Since I've started this blog a few days ago, here are some informations about me 💌
my name is Carla, I'm 23, my pronouns are she/her/hers
I go by the name Carla Jackson when it comes to my writer/artist/singer/songwriter alter ego, call me Jackson, Carla, whatever you'd like but never my full name, I dont know it feels too formal and I dont like that, lets keep it casual bestiee
I write about anything seriously but the recurrent topics are the struggles and mental battles I go through in any circumstances, chaotic creation, and recently I've been writing a lot about all the feelings that come with the act of pursuing one's dream.
My dream is to be a singer/songwriter/artist and fully live from my art, it's something thats been burning inside me for a long time and dying to be put out there in the material world. I grew up watching my favorite artists on stage, singing, dancing, performing and said "thats what I wanna do"
Following your dreams and making everything to bring it to life is tiring, I get tired a lot, but never get tired of it, I love music way too fucking much!!
Speaking of favorite artists, I've always been a fangirl as long as I can remember and it has really inspired my writings lately. My idols are like a part of my family, more than my actual one but thats another topic for another post lmao :)
Fan/stan culture and anything related to the star system, cult of celebrity fascinate me, there's actually A LOT to say about that and I'm 100% here for it!
I am personally a bts army : my bias are yoongi and namjoon, I see a lot of me in them, namjoon's like my mind and yoongi my heart.
a little monster (lady gaga fan) and a michael jackson fan (your girl is literally called Carla JACKSON)
they're basically my holy trinity
otherwise I still listen to other artists but it would take literally forever to list them all so I'm not gonna make you go through all of that haha
lets just say I have an obsession with the 2000s/ early 2010s, basically anything that reminds me of the music I listened to when I was younger (as if I'm that old, I'm literally 23, its the fear of aging speaking 🙄)
this is why I started this blog btw, like the good old personal blogs days (we had skyblogs in france, I use to have mine where I'd write one direction fanfiction..... thats a topic I dont wanna dig up for OBVIOUS reasons 🥲)
also because I miss the 2014 tumblr era (definately not the bad side of it, more like halsey, the neighbourhood, grunge side of 2014 tumblr, you see?)
we need to make personal blogs a thing again!! I wanna rant about anything, with my 2 followers interacting!!
ANYWAY
We have at least one thing in common, so if you're a writer, love poems, music, are a fangirl/boy, have an obsession for the 2000s, feel free to hang out here, have a good day/evening/night, whatever time it is in your time zone ☆

RQG 166
Where in there is shipping, talk of strange magics, and preparations are made
"Smooth Sailing" is not quite up there with "everything is fine" but its ominous.
So is this strictly to annoy Alex or did they notice fandom commenting on how fast they spoke?
No sexy Jesus then it can't be Grant
I love Hamid made them all cold weather gear
Tension for long periods sucks. Azu is going to find Kiko!
Cel points out that Azu asking if Kiko wants "take a break together"!
Hamid is also a shipper on deck!
Kiko sees Hamid & Cel sharing thumbs up A love nest?
Azu is nervous!
Azu refuses because she doesn't want to risk it while they are in danger; Kiko doesn't want to die sober
Kiko hangs out in the nest because it beats throttling Carter.
Kiko takes control of the conversation, since Azu is jumping quite a bit ahead; asks what Azu is doing in Japan on her way to Svalbard. Azu starts to say "save the world" when Ben points out infosec, panics and says "nothing".
Oh Earhardt is the captain of Kiko's adopted father, a gnome named Elbert. Azu goes pretty vague, says she want to be high priestess of Aphrodite which means good works like healing people. At this point Kiko asks if she could do anything about the crick in her neck. Which seems a bit "lay your hands on me".
Alex draws a vail there beyond asking Helen if Azu kisses on the first date (yes a little one).
Hamid & Cel notice Azu coming back up alone. Azu tells them she had a kiss: Hamid claps, Cel squeals.
Oh the bears climbed to the top of real mountains to die.
Earhardt asks Zolf if he thinks something killed the bears. Zolf basically says we'd see it coming.
Earhardt is more worried about the effects of the borealis on the ship.
Zolf says to take it to a vote. Earhardt tries to tell Zolf to handle it, Zolf tells her it should be her
Zolf gathers them all, giving Azu an approving pat on the arm.
Earhardt isn't actually bad at this. Lore time!
Hamid is trying to share his magic knowledge again, but he still sounds nervous.
Cel asks if something like the antimagic cell would help, but I don't know if they can persue that? Yeah spells and material.
Zolf points out that they have magic types fairly covered.
Oh so this is explicitly not like Rome.
Hamid figures its mostly safe.
Zolf asks how the Kobolds feel!
They get that its dangerous and ask it they can kill it. They ask if they can make a lightning rod! Clever Kobolds. Cel follows up the idea.
The lightning rod would protect a room below decks but it would send the danger elsewhere.
Oh Hamid wants to transfer the magic into spells rather than just vented dangerously.
The Cohort looks to Hamid before voting. Earhardt voted nay because the detour would take them someplace useful; but takes being out voted with grace.
Wilde offers to drive or give the anklets to Zolf since they offer protection. Zolf doesn't want him taking either risk but agrees to teach him in case Zolf can't fly. The rolls for the lightning rod are so very low. Only Cel knows that its "a bit sketch" but the others think its fine. Earhardt wants to head to enemy territory and the party knows it.
Sussura is a lovely name for a Kobold. Skraak & Sussura are arguing about something. Sussura tells them that unless they can do better they should take what Cel is offering. They take Cels hand leads them inside and turns around makes a rude gesture then asks if they want inside or outside!
Cel offers Sussura the fang. Cel misses that Sussura looks at them with even more respect or adoration than they look at Hamid. Azu catches it.
Helen tells Cel they all trust them. Which makes it so much worse.
Alex doesn't tell us how well Wilde learns. The safe room is actually a modification of the living area.
Zolf makes the usual vague catch you on the flip side noises. Earhardt tells him this risk is only worth it while the borealis is near and to get them asap.
Hamid asks to cast a spell on Zolf. Its called "Heroism" and gives +2 on a bunch of things for 90 minutes.
Cel reminds them there is still an element of risk but is more cheery than they were. We fade out on the image of Zolf sailing into danger.

Cotton Bag: Promoting a Greener World
It takes about two months to turn a tiny plantation into square-shaped flower buds. The cotton plants have these squares. The blossoms open up throughout the course of the next three weeks. Its petals transition from cream to yellow to pink to red at the end. Three days later, they shrivel and collapse, leaving behind cotton ball-like green pods.
How do bags get made?
Only natural cotton is used to make cotton bags. These cotton balls are processed through several stages to produce cotton bags. The initial step in the process is creating cloth out of threads. The cotton fabric is then cut into various sizes and stretched using a stretching machine as the next stage. A sewing machine is used to create various shapes and motifs out of this stretched material. Where appropriate, business labels and graphics are added to the cotton bags to increase their value. One advantage of a cotton bag is that it may be printed or sewed with any label.
It's always completely biodegradable because it contains only natural ingredients. These are recyclable and reusable in addition to being biodegradable. They can be used again and then returned to their original state—that is, shredded to the point of threads and refashioned into new or identical bags.
Cotton bags made from colored fabric can be fairly profitable. Not only are cotton bags made in India, but they are also manufactured there and widely exported to other nations.
Tumblr media
Uses for cotton bags:
Recycle them:
The ideal bags to help you stay on top of your recycling idea are cotton ones because they are heavier and more durable than plastic ones. To make recycling easier, use separate bags for each sort of recyclable. When it's time to take them to the recycling center or outside into the recycling bins, these cotton bags are convenient to handle.
Use cotton bags to be crafty: 
You can keep art and craft supplies in the extra bags so you'll always know where they are. Given their strength and excellent reusability, several items might be neatly stored inside the cotton bag. To keep the bag out of the way while not in use, just hang it up in your cabinet.
Verdant digits
The greatest way to repurpose cotton bags once you've finished using them is to make planters to grow veggies in your garden. All you need to do is fill them with soil and plant a variety of seeds. Just remember to keep them hydrated because these plants dry out more quickly than others.
Take them as your own.
One can personalize basic cotton bags by painting them with whatever crafts they have on hand, such as fabric paint, felt tips, or scraps of fabric, as cotton bags are easier to print and design than plastic bags. This is an excellent way to keep youngsters interested in learning while they are doing it. 
Put together a picnic.
The cotton bag is useful for lunch outings and picnics because it's so simple to stuff everything you need inside. Because they are easy to fold up after they are empty and robust enough to hold heavier food items, they are perfect for picnics.
Cleanup: Use cotton bags to keep everything neat and orderly.
The benefits of the environmentally friendly cotton bag don't end here. Cotton bags work well for laundry since you can use them to segregate colored and white clothing, among other things.
To assist you in organizing, use bags. Organize your belongings into reusable bags, grouping similar items together to facilitate finding stuff in your cabinets or drawers. You'll find it easier to locate the next time you need it. Because you can carefully divide down different toys, cotton bags are great for cluttered bedrooms.
In this way, even young children can learn how to use bags to keep things tidy. 
Cotton Bags
The most popular natural fiber bags are made of cotton.
They could be constructed from recycled cotton bags, organic cotton, or conventional cotton.
Conventional cotton is derived from a crop that is replenishable.
Since organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides, the negative impacts on the environment are lessened.
Reclaimed organic cotton "scraps" are used to make recycled bags, which are then spun into fresh yarn. 
Our opinion:
The usage of plastic bags cannot be completely eliminated by banning them. Making people aware of the negative effects of utilizing recyclable products—which have very little negative environmental effects—is what we need to accomplish. 3cube sells eco-friendly packaging products, thus it has assumed a little portion of the overall responsibility to maintain environmental security. It is a business-to-business (B2B) online marketplace that serves as a middleman between consumers and packaging goods sellers.

“Gordita”
One of the big aspects of this work was the repetition. The repetition of the patterns in the background helped bring the art together. I chose those two specific patterns because I felt they made the dog pop out. I did not want it to all be bold in the background but at the same time I needed to even it out, this was the reason for the repetition of these patterns.
Another principle of design that was a major part of this artwork was proportion. This is my dog "Dita," and as you can tell, her head is not proportionate to her body. Getting the accurate proportions was very important because it wouldn't be my dog if it was not put out correctly.
As far as elements, my line work could have been better. The diamonds in the background were not all as perfect as what I liked it to. Not only that but some of the lines in the other pattern were not all as thick as others. So in this aspect it's just it needed to be evened out and I needed to be more patient with it.
I believe another element that I could've improved was the texture. I tried to give Dita her furry texture but I believe that the layers should have been a bit more overlapping to give the specific texture I was looking for.
How I went about each phase of the assignment was starting on the dog first and just tracing my basic lines. Then on the dog I started from the inside out. I believe that by doing this it brings together the art. It gives me a personal focus point to work out of. I believe it also helped with the different directions that her fur goes.
In my personal opinion, I believe I used the materials successfully. There were a few bumps along the way but I overcame them to get the results that I was wanting. My strongest part on the assignment has to be the dog its self. The value and density of the lines came out how I wanted them to once I got the hang of it. I enjoyed how smoothly the application of the ink was. It made it easy to overlap lines and create the texture I needed.
The improvement I could've made on this project is my timing and patience. Although I know it's a process and need time, I got ahead of myself on some areas of it. That is something that I know to fix on my upcoming projects. I need to pace myself to get the outcomes that I hope for.
Overall, I enjoyed this art assignment and would gladly work with this medium again. I found it fun and peaceful.
