#maaaaybe the 5 minute too

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

you are all so lucky there is a 10min limit on videos here

#i stumbled on something lovely #but alas #22 minutes #so only the 2 minute version will be posted #maaaaybe the 5 minute too

[the-ninja-legacy-whip]

well if i can have i crack at them they could be Effect of Wind: Gust Burst by punching the air at the direction of someone jesse creates a concentrated fast burst of wind that when it hits and oppent literally knocks the wind out of them

Effect of Water: Slip and Slide creates extremely slippery terrain around him when he touches the ground

Effect of Time: Spoiler Alert he can take a sneak peak of the next around 30 seconds to minute he has to closes his eyes when he does so and the vison only takes 5 seconds even if to him its longer

Effect of Amber: Amber Mirror by crossing his arms to make an X jesse can absorb any type of attack (he can only absorb one attack per use) then release it back at his opponent with it being infused with his own element he can only have the attack absorbed for a limited time

an additional nerf for them could be since they are outlier abilities its harder for jessie t use them so he can only do it once a day but I think that’s overkill

I love how you turned a gag from the movie into an idea that I could see fitting into the show so I wanted to share an ideas I had on it

Ayoooooooooo wait a minute what A MINUTE these are super clever I LOVE THEM!!!! Very creative!!!! I didn't even think about 'knocking the wind outta someone', the Spoiler Alert thing is hilariously brilliant, being able to make people slip and fall on command is gdshfkgsdkksd and unexpectedly absorbing a blow for Amber?! Genius. I applaud you, my friend. I give you a tip of my hat, and a cookie.

The 'only useable once per day' is a good direction to start when it comes to nerfing too, especially if we're gonna consider Miracle Make as the Effect of Energy (which...can only be used once per lifetime I suppose gsslfsksfss)

But hmmmmmmmmm...maaaaybe instead these Effects are something Jesse would only be able to manage if he had a Blue Crystal—such as the ones in his weapon—charged with the corresponding Element, which would make it easier to connect with the Outlier Elements? Meaning the less-OP ones like Water and Amber are more accessible more often, and then Spoiler Alert and the Wind one would be, like, a special one-season only thing (which, actually, would work very very nicely for S7 ohohoho)...? Just putting my small spin onto it xD

#but gaaaah these are great!!!! #thank you for sharing these they're SO clever!! #and i'm sure i've still got plenty of room when it comes to polishing up how surprise works anyhow hahaha #ninjago #the lego ninjago movie #tlnm #fuchsia ninja #oc: jesse marvell #info tag #elemental compendium #legacyverse

Adri Schvaneveldt has always felt split between two worlds. In one world, they are the adopted child of a large and conservative Mormon family. In another, she is the CEO of a burgeoning fashion empire that pushes boundaries. But in order to be the latter, Adri first has to find the funding. After gaining a hefty following as a social media influencer/model, Adri has the potential customers– if they can get a reliable production model pounded out. And that means a bit of groveling at the feet of investors, most of who have never even heard the term “non-binary”.

But Adri lucks out with Gideon Snow, whose youth and open mind bring much needed funds to make Adri’s dream of diverse, accessible fashion a reality. Of course, lifting a newborn company to its feet is no small task, and late nights drive Adri to occasional stays at Gideon’s nearby house, where their relationship begins stretching beyond business. Adri knows they can’t put an entire business venture at risk for the turbulent whims of their heart. But reason doesn’t always win out.

Excerpt:

“Adri.” Gideon rubbed the back of Adri’s neck, so they pulled back enough for their eyes to meet. “You are more important than the work. If you need a day off, take a day off.” After a pause, Gideon pursed his lips. “Actually, we should take a vacation.”

“A vacation? Where?”

“I’ll have to think about it. But one thing I do know.” Gideon slid a hand up the back of Adri’s sweater and gently swiped his knuckles along their skin. “You will not be planning a single second of it.”

“Can I pick the location?”

“Nope.”

“Gideon, be serious.”

“I am. I will take care of everything. All you have to do is show up at the airport when I say.”

Adri pouted, which only made them look more adorable. “Okay, but I can’t do more than a week.”

“It’s going to be at leasttwo weeks.”

“Gideon!”

Gideon giggled, squeezing Adri tighter against him. Adri pretended to be upset but soon started laughing with him, and all indignation was lost in the few seconds it took for them to start making out again. Over the course of a few minutes, Gideon got himself on top of Adri, and Adri slid their thighs open to frame his hips like it was second nature. Some weed mellowed Gideon out too much to fuck, but this strain didn’t seem to have much of an effect on his boner.

“Adri?” he whispered amidst a kiss.

“Hmm?” They didn’t even open their eyes.

“Do you like it when I take control like that?”

“Like scheduling me a vacation?” Their smile was blissed out and giddy.

“Yes. But also maybe when we fuck, too.”

“Oh. Ah, well…” Adri’s complexion was light enough that Gideon could see them blush even darker than what their make-out session had left them. “Maaaaybe.” They bit their lip. “I’m in charge of so much at work. It feels good to just…”

“Let me take the wheel?”

Adri’s reply arrived in a heavy exhale. “Yeah.”

So sometimes my self-care involves YouTube roulette finding random Miles Teller interviews and I couldn’t begin to explain why. In any event. I found one that was promo for TGM and the interviewer was asking about him getting into shape and he sort of demurred and talked about his nutritionist and his trainer and then said “well you’re in shape” and the interviewer explains he also covers fitness for his publication.

And Miles is like “WELL then” and starts going into his stats. He says he “usually sits at 185” (which maaaaybe he used to, but his arms look way too big now for that to be true) but that he “got up to about 210 with 9% body fat” for TGM and then “CUT DOWN TO 183 with 7% body fat for the beach scene” and I am just. Putting aside all the appropriate caveats about unrealistic standards and unhealthy practices etc etc … that is INSANE. Did he actually look that much bigger in the rest of the movie (L vs R)?!?! And why did he need to? I’m just utterly confused (and not only a little impressed) about why the bulk-up part was even necessary.

I’m not really sure why I am posting about this but it really struck me. Relevant part starts at the 5-minute mark. I am unwillingly fascinated by this guy.

3, 4, 7, 29, 36 and 40 for the gifmaking asks!!! xx

Phew let's go, thank you :D

3. Which of your sets has the most notes

Overall, this one I think, which is of course frustrating when it's a 5-minute set but ah well haha. Out of the Glee ones, this one by faaar. Much, much less frustrating and I'm actually very glad it's this one out of all of them. I'd do it differently today but it was what I needed then.

4. A set that flopped but deserved better

Most recently maaaaybe this one but I guess it reached the target audience lol. I tend to move on from sets pretty quickly after they're posted so I'm not too hung up on what "flops" and what doesn't. I'M already focusing on the next one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7. Who are your top 3 gif makers

Here we go with some more appreciation for creators! First of all, you 😌 and then shoutout to @itstruthtime and forever missing Sal's talent but happy old creations are still circulating around.

29. Have you ever posted a set, realized you made a mistake later but it was already too late

Answered here!

36. Do you gif with something specific in mind or do you just wing it

Hmmm most of the time I start out with a general concept, play around with the scenes and then new ideas come to me as I'm working anyway. I couldn't just fully wing it, I need something to go off on but after that I sorta just let the creative process take charge.

40. Why do you make gifs

It's just a creative outlet, innit? I think it helps me process and express different aspects of fandom life than, say, writing meta. It's satisfying to create something and play around in Photoshop, and it's nice to be able to translate the visual I have in my head into a gif and share that with others.

GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS - Teaser!!!!

Here is one of many little sneak peeks to my upcoming tale... The best part is... (****drumroll pleeeease****) IT'S

OC X OC!!!!!!

Yay!

Woop woop!

OoOoOoOo~ AaAaAa~

Here at "@iamthejinyouarethethejin" studios (see what I did there? ;), OC x OC means that 9.99999 times outa' 10, the OCs are going to be name inserts. Just in case you have no clue WHAT THE HELL that is... OC x OC is "original character shipped with another original character", but THIS time the "original characters" are basically "y/n" and "c/n" with names! This means the characters are typically written without ethnic or racial bias, just a guy and a girl with author-written titles!!! Please enjoy this little snippet, and stay tuned for the rest!

5:29

The sun is up. Whyyyy the hell is the sun up... I guess it works best for an early start. I've gotta get ready anyway. I'm sure my face looks a mess.

I lay stick straight in my bed, staring intently at the ceiling.

What a beautiful ceiling.

Day... what is it... 32 of waking up before Josh to wash my face? It's not like I put on a bunch of makeup (any, really) but I make a conscious effort to make my face look... not dead. Every. fucking. morning. I'm a 21-year-old with a decent job, an amazing boyfriend, a nice apartment, and a rambunctious dog among other things, yet ricketingly low self-esteem.

Usually, I wake up before Josh... Maybe 30 or so minutes earlier? My sister says it's a big waste of time, but you get used to it eventually. After all, I've been at it for a month now.

That's how long we'd been living together. One month. Dating? 13 months. We figured it was time to settle down a little, maybe merge households, but I guess I hadn't caught on to the fact that "merging households" requires some sense of normalcy and frankly, relatability, something I lacked at the time. I would rarely let him FaceTime or even call me right after I woke up, and almost never ever on the way to bed. I figured that with us buying an apartment to share, things would be different. I would be more comfortable letting him see ME. Bahaha... WRONG.

"Cleansing balm... where is the cleansing balm?"

I guess the only con to us moving in together is the fact that my sweet baby can be terribly disorganized.

"Gosh Josh... C'mon, I told him to leave my stuff over here."

And dassit... I'm SORRRRYYYY- If you were getting invested, I apologize, but that's all the more reason to keep close watch on my account and maaaaybe even find some other stuff on there to read itp!!! I've reposted/blogged several authors there, so be sure to check them out too! 'Good Morning, Gorgeous!' by @iamthejinyouarethejin will be finished shortly, along with 8 million other tingz! :) Peace out luvies!!!!!



#eheheheheheheheh #@iamthejinyouarethejin #k-pop x reader #crush x poc #poc x reader #plus!size reader x crush #oc x oc #oc insert #josh and sophie!!!! #enjoyyyyyyyyyy #coming soon to a theater near you :'D #heartsss #^o^

writing down a bunch of random info i have on vesper rn

her father was a famous pro wrestler and she spent most of her childhood with him bc her mother left them, he died when she was a teen and vesper was left alone since age 15

she had various jobs until she got a gig into illegal underground boxing matches and made of that her job. she can punch hard. got some of her moves by watching her own father fight

her ring name/title is the iron maiden, i have some other few ideas, we'll see, for now yea (:

she can play the bass guitar :^)

sharp gold vamp teeth. sharp gold vamp teeth. i wont elaborate

dare i say she can speak french?

ohoh! a pro at humbling tf down cowboys (gender neutral) that feel too full of themselves: met her ex partner on the job, he placed a bet on her defeat. he lost good money but found a good chance to speak to her (he got decked a few times)

also literally just her about the johnny brain worm situation:

#rena.txt #oc: vesper #she plaguing my thoughts now. its fatal #love the cowboy one bc my brain still thinks of fnv and i like to imagine what would happen if moira and vesper met akdjskdks #also i think of her personality like mmmm the strong imposing type? so she looks kinda unfriendly but deep down she has a heart of gold :(( #crazy i didnt make another evil oc AKDJSKFSKDK #aLSO i wont elaborate too much on her ex partner. i'm brainstorming. just know theres drama like always #vesper honey baby u dont need bratty mean ppl in ur life u need someone to tenderly take care of your wounds after a match..... #i know i spin the fates here but i will still blame my ocs for my own storytelling decisions #what she needs is a suave southern italian whos gonna sweet talk her every 5 minutes and take her out on cute dates (basically me) #i would date all of my ocs and thats not even a secret. maaaaybe not glass tho alfjaflakcks

[theunstuffedpepper]

Ohhh today was hard. Bullet points?

- B hurt his back lifting pep this morning and was out of commission. Big time. Hobbling around, etc. You know how dudes do when they’re sick or injured.

- After some heat and ibuprofen, B thought the waterfall hike I’d been planning for this week would still be doable. Walking felt manageable.

- After a short bit of the drive, B was too uncomfortable. We stopped at a much earlier trailhead and hiked for maaaaybe 5-10 minutes before I insist we turn back. Even that much walking seemed to do him some harm.

- Spent the rest of the day home, being exhausted myself, and taking care of pep and B.

- Pep refused to go down for bed tonight and after an hour of standing and rocking him, because he would freak every time I sat in the rocking chair, I just left him in the crib and walked out. Somehow, by some miracle, he fell asleep.

I know tonight B won’t be able to even so much as get out of bed to help with pep, so it’s all me. And likely will be all me all weekend long, taking care of them both. I’m just hoping B is feeling better by Monday when I have to go back to work. Sigh. I’m so freaking tired. It’s 8:30pm and I haven’t eaten since lunch.. at this point I’m just calling it quits and going to bed. It’s times like this when I really miss not having family nearby the most. It’s always just the two of us, all the time, no matter what. We get zero help or support or “time off”.. really ever. I love these boys, but man, I’ve got nothing left to give today.

#I’m also way more tired than normal lately on top of it all #siiiiigh #someone say a prayer we all sleep well tonight #10222021 #operationkay10

[apenapaperandadoofus]

"least to most bottom of the RFA" you say 👀

CONSIDER THIS A REQUEST MY FRIEND

Hehehehehe THANK YOU

I actually came up with this bc I had a stress dream that I was writing request and I was writing smth like this and since then I have not thought of anything else ANSNSNSND

Least to most bottom MM characters:

12. Rika

This bitch will not. Back. Down.

She is a full on top, fuck you

Nah but really you will not make this woman bend down to your will, it has to be the other way. She has to feel the power! The control!

(and of course if we want to get into more of the psychological stuff it's also bc of that bitch ass pastor that did that to her as a child, and to him I wish him a very fuck you and fuck off, BUT ANYWAY)

This woman will not back down. If you try and make her a bottom she will act like she's backing down until she turns the tables and you're the one that's pinned against the bed or wall. It's a fight you cannot win 🙂

11. Unknown

No.

No matter how much you want to pin that little fucker down, he will not. Let. You.

He doesn't want to feel vulnerable.

Still, that doesn't mean he won't do it every once in a full moon or smth where hee will maaaaybe let you be the dominant one. Of course he will still be ordering you around, so who's really the one in control?

10. Jumin

Jumin is also a power top, although every once in a while he'd change the pace of things for a bit.

He wouldn't go super far as too havig to full on freaking beg, but he'd come pretty close to that point if you hold him down and start straddling him. He wouldn't mind getting tied up too y'know? Just not all the way. Maybe once in a while you can tie his arms behind him and straddle him, and he will literally go crazy because he just can't touch you, and you just feel. So. Good.

9. Vanderwood

He's a bottom brat whenever he switches andbdbfnfn

Listen, once in a while you'll both change pace, and he'll be all like "pft, your think you can make me kneel down? No way in hell." To be a few minutes later begging for you to let him come and to please, please just fuck him!

8. Suit

But Amanda, what about Unknown and how he wasn't a bottom? Isn't Suit basically Unknown but in his early stage?

And to that I say yes but I love brat bottom boys so you will have to deal with it ajdhdhdb

Listen to me.

TOPPING THIS MAN? YES PLEASE???

Also since he does still have a bit of Ray in him, y'know he likes being pinned down.

He will be an absolute bastard though. He will curse and yell the whole time, but then once you finally get him?

Oh he will beg for you non stop like Lin Manuel Miranda said in his Hamilton musical songs "Non-Stop"

He L O V E S being tied down. Not Lin btw I mean Suit lol.

Not with blindfolds tho, that would be far too much. But to be served his own medicine for once? Honestly he's kinda into it. He loves the dominant glint in your eye, how commanding you are, basically how you're not taking ANY of his BS.

It is my personal hc since I'm a horny bitch, that suit would actually be into being a bottom, but he's just a bit shy about it, and yes, he can be a top too which is why he's not all the way down, but you know being a bottom is a guilty pleasure for this boy.

He likes that shit.

7. Zen

He's also mostly a switch, except he isn't much of a brat. He's more of a chill bottom. You tell him you want to be on top today? Sure thing baby let me just get the blindfold.

He's totally up for it, and he loves seeing you taking control and being confident. That's what he likes the most. Of course, he'd much rather be the one gripping your wrists on top of you and banging ya like there's no tomorrow.

6. Jaehee

YES

This woman hasn't really dated anyone or anything except her work, so she's definetly a bit inexperienced. That's why she'll look to you to take the lead!

Jaehee should be spoiled alright, so please take care of this woman with your life and make her have the time of her life

5. GE! Saeran

This boy is also a sort of power bottlom. Sometimes he will take the lead and oh god, is he great at that, but other times? When he's a bottom, he's a BOTTOM

He will gasp and moan at every little touch, he absolutely adores getting praised, and he loves it when you watch him with that glint of lust in your eyes.

Boy when he's a bottom he's just: chefs kiss 💋👌👌

4. Saeyoung

He's also an amazing top, but when he switches and becomes a bottom he's also AMAZING. He's at the top of the bottoms (hahahaha funny)

He also likes being pinned down and given orders, to have to b e g.

He also likes praise a lot like his brother pft.

And he's also a lot into being tied up, blindfolds, all that. No matter if it's you or him. The only thing he's a bit iffy about is basically hitting him and for very obvious reasons, but appart from that he's up for anything wink wink.

3. Ray

Do I have to even explain? Like??? Do I really???

His middle name is BOTTOM.

When you look him up in the dictionary it says in bold letters and in the whole page BOTTOM.

His name means BOTTOM.

He's too shy to start anything up by himself, he needs you to take the lead so he knows he's not doing anything wrong. This boy will bend to your will so fucking easily, he's a fucking spaghetti, you can grab him and twist him around your finger akfkfnfn

Just praise him and he'll be so happy. Just imagine when -milking him dry- EHEM he'd just beg and his eyes would be all teary and OH LORD YES BOTTOM RAY ALL THE WAY WHOOP.

2. Yoosung

It is literally cannon he's a masochist. Literally. This boy loves it. He's like s puppy. He will look at you with adoration the whole time, and will follow all of your orders. He'd happily go down on all fours for you, he'd literally do ANYTHING

Also I have said this so many times and I will say it again,

P e g h i m

This man is PERFECT FOR IT, DON'T WASTE THE OPPORTUNITY AND TEASE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS MAN, MAKE 👏 HIM 👏 BEG👏

1. V

Dude. This man is a bottom and nothing else, NOTHING ELSE

PEG HIM TOO! (Pfttttttt basically the last two of the list are just me going PEG HIM over and over again lmao.)

You cannot tell me this man is a top. You simply can't.

He is a bottom boy. Just don't blindfold him bc ✨trauma✨

Appart from that tie him up, edge him do whatever else you want. This man will look at you with tears in the corner of his eyes, barely able to speak. "M-MC... please....I-I just c-can't anymore...." He'd whisper.

God I know he isn't my favorite but I would dffinetly date him just for this holy fuck.

God am I horny and touch starved I need jesus

Anyway now go and read the bible and bathe in holy water, and I'll save you all a spot next to me in hell :D

[mal-zoya]

anyway, very briefly on shadow and bone, because i will be making review youtube video soon, so-

- cinematography is highlight, very very beautiful

- the world is rich and exciting but i don’t feel like it was explained well. i haven’t read the books, it takes a moment to catch up and i still don’t get the grisha powers and all the countries and armies

- it is very obvious that this is based on YA novel. alina especially screams YA read-insert protagonist, and has moments where i truly can not stand her (that be because a) episodes fly by, b) books are from her POV which we don’t have anymore and c) she is younger in the books, which shows)

- malyen oretsev. my baby, my son, my hero, you never did anything wrong, you are perfect and i respect you. you deserve better than this fandom and i’ve been here for 5 minutes.

- darkling, i-...as wise woman similarly said once: “i can excuse mass murder and basic bitch villain og story but holding letters from mal and sex trafficking 11yo genya to spy for you, is a bit too much”

- i’ll say he does have great chemistry.... with mal. i might ship it.

- malina is epic love story. tho, i agree with some people that maaaaybe they used too many flashbacks but other than that? flawless. epic. poetic cinema.

- the crows are awesome. it took me a while to get liking them. truly somewhere on episode 3-4 but they were consistently delivering on all fronts. same goes for nina and mathias and for genya and zoya

- the goat is the mvp

[gelo-p]

It may be a long request, but what memorable moments (scenes) for each characters from OddTaxi caught your eyes the most ? (included images as well) It will be interesting to hear it from you, as someone who reviewed each episode of this series.(and was fun to read) I can wait if this take some time to answer back, no need to rush(> ◡ 0) Honestly ,this show is so unique & such an underrated gem!! It's like you said: "DAMN. ODDTAXI WHY YOU SO GOOD"

LOL thanks, I’m flattered that you found my weekly ramblings fun to read ^^; I didn’t intend to review the series though. I was planning to just make a series of minor complaints about an otherwise good story, but... well. It was clear by episode 5 that the writing was deeper than I thought.

Having said that, here are my favorite moments for each characters anyway!

(●'◡'●)

------

Taeko-san

Episode 8.

Suddenly acting all cutesy and embarrassed ^^;

------

Nagashima

Episode 1.

I was just surprised to find that he’s in the first 5 minutes of episode 1.

------

Kabasawa

Episode 9.

DEYM, SON @_@

Maaaaybe focus on catching Dobu? Also what the hell, 10k yen to assist on catching Dobu???

Slow clap. Brilliant, mate.

Episode 9.

I did feel bad for him though. In his pursuit of fame, he’s bitten more than he could chew. This scene stood out to me for a different reason though:

Who apologizes in less than a minute???

------

Shibagaki

Episode 6.

It didn’t initially carry much weight, but once you realize he did this to try and remain relevant in the entertainment world, it’s kinda sad. Especially with Baba getting all the attention recently.

Episode 6, ending credits.

------

Baba

Episode 6, ending credits.

Contrast to Shibagaki, Baba is experiencing one hell of a high in his career. Can’t entirely blame him for not focusing too much attention on the N-1 contest anymore. This entire exchange with Shibagaki was so memorable because... it just shows how different their careers have become.

Also, just right before this scene, it was shown that

HE’S ACTUALLY DATING NIKAIDO WTF

------

Kuroda

Episode 3.

This scene where Kakihana thought Kuroda was talking to him was just hilarious. Not to mention once you hear him speak, you realize...

He’s voiced by this guy.

-----

Donraku

Episode 1.

This annoyed the hell out of me. I thought this was one of those typical Japanese TV commentary panels. When I wondered if “Don-chan” might be Donraku, I thought of this scene and concluded “Nah, can’t be him. Would you act all calm - let alone appear on TV like that - if your daughter was missing? Nah.”

How wrong I was of course, but this scene has always stuck in my head.

Of course, the president of the agency being in the shot was probably meant as a clue of some sort... But we didn’t know that yet, did we?

Episode 11.

------

Kakihana

Episode 5.

This was just so awkward to watch. 🤦‍♂️

Episode 9.

I still feel bad for him at the end of it all, of course. He just wants to move on and throws the ring away... but he realizes how much it cost. ^^;

(Finally, of course there’s also that scene with Kuroda from earlier)

------

Tanaka

Episode 4.

This scene. I’ve ranted about it before already :v

Episode 9.

Does this count? Of course we now know that this was actually Little Daimon, but at the time, I was so annoyed at how overpowered Tanaka was made to be.

------

Imai

Episode 8.

Episode 11.

Imai’s love for Mystery Kiss (well, Nikaido) is probably greater than all our love for ODDTAXI combined.

A true man of culture.

------

Big Daimon

Episode 1.

DIRTY COP! DIRTY COP RIGHT HERE- *bang* ughh

------

Little Daimon

Episode 7.

This was the moment I started considering that Odokawa really has nothing to hide in his closet. It would have been extremely risky for him, considering how straight of a cop (albeit a little naive) Little Daimon is.

Episode 12.

This was a genuinely sad moment for me. Your brother, who you decided to punish evil with, was part of the evil you’ve been trying to punish all along. That’s gotta hurt, man.

------

Dobu

Episode 9.

Dobu’s actually quite a nice guy, huh? I mean, yeah, not really, but come on. He did let Kabasawa off with a life lesson instead of a more serious beating.

Episode 10.

Really? :))

Episode 12.

Again, DOBU SHOULD HAVE JUST SHUT UP. “IT’S A SILHOUETTE BRO,  THAT’S NOT ME, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.”

Also, I kinda refuse to believe Dobu would use his silhouette for the game. We couldn’t even tell who the hell ditch-11 was but suddenly *poof* it’s Dobu’s silhouette!

I would have preferred if Tanaka’s story of sending a message was true. It would be much more believable. Then Tanaka sends another message to ditch-11 then and there...

And then Dobu’s phone rings. Surprised pikachu face.

Also, Dobu quit playing some time ago but was still Rank 1??? What the hell?

------

Yano

Episode 7.

When Yano was introduced, I was amazed that they actually made him rhyme all his lines (or at least introduce some rhythm). Even the translation was keeping up!

Episode 8.

He’s an asshole, but he makes funny faces.

Episode 12.

Funny faces :))

------

Sekiguchi

Episode 10.

Sekiguchi provides a very good example of how bad guys can use your social media data. This is practically a PSA.

DON’T POST TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLINE!!

Episode 11.

I still need an explanation why Nikaido had to do the lifting WHEN SEKIGUCHI, A LITERAL HUGE THUG, IS RIGHT THERE. It’s not like he doesn’t want to get his hands dirty, he’s already filthy AF at the 2nd pic!!

Episode 12.

About to be “arrested”, still worried about Yano’s rhyming. ^^;

------

Yamamoto

Episode 2.

Right off the bat, we immediately know that he... has his own share of secrets.

Episode 5.

...But that he also genuinely cares for the girls.

...To some extent, as shown in that entire taxi ride :))

Ichimura

Episode 3.

“Oh no.”

Obviously, anybody who shows interest in you, Kakihana, after you misrepresent your salary... probably should be red-flagged. Of course, we the viewers immediately know that she’s being tailed by her manager, so we have an idea that she’s being roped into it.

Episode 8.

I can’t even-

------

Nikaido

Episode 2.

This Nikaido - she’s seen some things.

Episode 7.

Damn, probably done some things as well! D:

Also, that entire thing where Sekiguchi refused to carry Mitsuya’s body?

Nikaido is strong!!!

Idols are scary, man.

------

Mitsuya

Episode 11.

It’s saddening because Mitsuya genuinely wanted to support Nikaido. Had she not gone to the office that night, things would have been much different for all of us.

------

Wadagaki

Episode 5.

“Why is she helping Tanaka???” Of course, I thought she was Mitsuya at this point.

Also, she really loves karaage, huh. I wondered if that was a clue, but I guess not. ^^

...It’s not, right..?

Episode 13.

Need I say more about this scene?

------

Goriki

Episode 1.

THIS WAS CONFUSING, MAN.

Episode 1.

Also, that entire exchange about cassette tapes and Bruce Springsteen ^^;

“Damn these guys are old” LOL

-----

Odokawa

Episode 1.

I like how... rude he is :))

Episode 3.

And so done with bullshit :))

Episode 8.

I do remember when he sneezed while taking the photo, in order to hide the shutter sound. Smart :^)

...

Odokawa’s in a weird position because even though he’s the main character, I remember him more for moving the story rather than being a character, if that makes sense. Sorry! >_<

Episode 13.

Of course, there’s the entire sequence of him flying his taxi... But again, that’s more of a nod to the story, not him. If it counts as “memorable scene involving Odokawa”, then there you go! That final sequence was just beautiful to watch. ^^

------

AND FINALLY!

------

Shirakawa

Episode 2.

Shirakawa’s just a straight-up lovable character. I love that Odokawa can’t handle her XD That entire taxi ride scene was just brilliant.

Episode 2.

And then she tops it all off with that power move with the front camera.

Episode 3.

PLUS SHE CAN DO CAPOEIRA!

Episode 10.

ACTUALLY USABLE-IN-COMBAT CAPOEIRA!

Episode 13.

EVEN UNDERWATER!

Where do I sign up for the Church of Shirakawa???

Shirakawa’s just too damn memorable for me. ^^;

------

Goddamn that was the longest ask I’ve ever answered. I hope my answers were at least satisfactory XD

ODDTAXI AOTY!!

(I didn’t realize answering this kind of question would be hard work :’D Compiling screenshots to make a somewhat objective point is surprisingly easier, huh)

okay I'm probably so anxious because the hike was a LOT shorter than I expected and I have a lot of extra energy to make go away, and I keep scrolling through social media, which, as we know, is always a trap for anxiety, AND I keep thinking about that FUCKING WATERFALL which—hang on.

so this hike was a hike to a waterfall (a DIFFERENT waterfall) and involved swimming in the waterfall... hole... and "climbing behind the waterfall" and I was like okay, I am mentally strapping myself in for another ~45 min one-way hike, a pleasant waterfall that I will kind of splash around in, and I'll let scone do the behind-the-waterfall thing because. no. thank you. no.

the hike itself was maaaaybe 20 min one way (maybe) (with a bonus waterfall on the way there), which, great! cool! neat! except the water was very brackish (because the bottom of the pool is dirt) and made me realize that I have a strong phobia of (A) UTIs caused by swimming now and (B) relatedly, those fresh water parasites you hear about sometimes that go up your nose and eat your brain and whatever. so. cool. I was able to talk myself out of those phobias enough to actually go in the water and I'm like yeah this is great when do we go to the next(?) waterfall(?)

oh! we don't! the guide is climbing up on a rock next to the waterfall that has ropes attached and beckons the first 5-6 people in the group to climb up with him and OH they are receiving instructions?? and I can't hear them??? fuck??

and so I watch them and oh, okay, they are HOLDING A ROPE (that's it! that's all!) to walk behind the waterfall, stand on the other side for a minute, and come back. well. I am okay NOT doing that, thanks

but then scone is like OH HELL YEAH SO COOL LET'S GO and if I recognize one thing about him, it's that he wants to do these stupid-ass crazy things ~together~ so if I don't go, he's not going to go, and I can tell that he REALLY wants to go. so okay, if I'm the first one across, I get to spend more time NOT being voluntarily waterboarded BY A WATERFALL WITH ROCKS MAYBE FALLING OFF IT TOO??? fine. okay. fine.

we climb up the rock (great! i love climbing rocks! we are not high enough that my fear of heights we-are-going-to-fall-and-die danger signal is going off!) and I have been realizing throughout the hike that these water shoes we rented are really NOT skid-resistant because they're not made for hiking in, they're made for wading, and look at all that moss, and oh, I already have to move to the side to let other people up and ope one foot slipped ohhhh I don't like this

so I start across which was already a Problem because water, of course, gets in my eyes and for some reason, my eyes don't like having water of any kind in them, so one of them is too waterlogged to open again, so BYE DEPTH PERCEPTION

then I realize I really do need depth perception and also my other eye is getting too watery and I CANNOT DO THIS BLIND I WILL ACTUALLY DEFINITELY FALL AND DIE IF I TRY TO DO THIS WITH MY EYES CLOSED OH GOD and manage to wipe my eyes with the arm that probably has less sunscreen on it by now ( = hurts less)

and then I can't find the last step before I can get out from under the waterfall and there's more water in my eyes and up my nose and I keep thinking of the freshwater brain parasites and go WELL if they're not in there by now, more water won't make a difference and ah fuck I swallowed some anyway, because again, waterboarded by waterfall and—THERE'S THE STEP oh my fuck dry land. wait. I have to go to the end of the rope. but there is no rock under the end of the rope. I cannot go to the end of the rope like they told me to. I have to stay here at the end of the rock and DEFINITELY NOT LOOK DOWN even though scone is going LOOK HOW COOL THIS IS and CAN YOU GO A LITTLE FURTHER and I'm just like listen I am trying not to have an outright panic attack and also not slip off these mossy fucking rocks and fall to my bloody, painful death, okay

thennnn people start going back and I'm like oKAY. deep breath. we know how this went last time. it was fine. we were fine! it was fine. and we need to get back anyway because otherwise we get left up here alone forever and that might be worse than dying.

so we start. but. I realize. that on my way over, I fucking BOOKED IT. the people on the other side are not doing the same. they are taking their own goddamn sweet time. so I'm like okay well either brain parasites or drowning, this is how I go—OH HEY SLIPPERY MOSSY ROCK ACK NOPE okay no we're good just back to parasites or drowning just, you know, breathe through the water because you'll be out soon

and then. everyone stops moving. because climbing UP the rock is easier than climbing down, and the reason we were going up 5-6 at a time is because there is limited room between end of rock and waterfall. I am stuck under the waterfall. oh my god I am stuck under the waterfall on this slippery as fuck rock holding this slippery as fuck rope and trying to keep my head down so that I inhale a minimal amount of water. it's coming down RIGHT on my head. I'm also convinced that a big rock is going to come falling down and brain me and WELP we signed the waivers so we can't sue them for my medical and funeral expenses, what a shame

whoever was holding up the line FINALLY moves and I can finally get out from under the waterfall but I am still up on this fucking slippery-ass rock. at least I can breathe, kind of, except for the spray from the waterfall and everything coming down from my face.

climbing down, fine, whatever, same slippery shoes problem, and then SCONE WON'T MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'S BEING HELPFUL FUCK MOVE GODDAMMIT MOVE LET ME DOWN DO NOT TOUCH ME JUST MOVE OUT THE FUCKING WAY

and then we're told that on the way back, since they have two guides, whoever wanted to could take the "survival trail" and everyone else could go back the way we came, and I'm like. nope. I have already survived. this is enough adventure. I'm going back the way we came. fuck that.

I am the only one that does that decision, so the second guide goes "ah it's not so bad, it's just kind of steep and then we go over the waterfall and then up some more slippery steep stuff and then just up the stairs like we came in!!" and I'm like you have no idea how not-compelling that is when I feel like I'm going to vomit and have NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH and also have ABSOLUTELY NO DESIRE to go tromping around a creek on top of a waterfall because THAT IS FUCKING STUPID

...but then of course I pick up my stuff and go because it's clear the second guide is both going down the "survival/adventure" trail and also not letting me wander off on my own, so fine. adventure. let's fucking go.

god bless him but scone doesn't understand that he can't be on top of other people when they're hiking to not have a chain reaction of slipping happening, so I have to be extra careful. the woman in front of me has NO clue about hiking basics and, say, keeping your body weight forward, or looking at the trail for alternatives, or testing ground with one foot first, so shrieks and slips the whole fucking way up the hill.

I am only able to decompress a little bit once we've spent our requisite 15-20 min in line at Bubba's Burgers for lunch because oh my fucking god. scone the whole way there from the trail is like THAT WAS SO COOL and HOW ARE YOU SCARED THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE MOST SCARY THING YOU'VE EVER DONE and I ignore him and keep taking very deep breaths.

and then I realized I still have to shower, but at least I can decide how much my face goes underwater for THAT waterfall, but I'm still like hey scone are you SURE you don't want the first shower? because... you look so tired...

so in conclusion he fell asleep sometime during the 10 min I was in the shower and that was more than two hours ago, so I think at this point I deserve a fancy, overpriced ice cream

holy moly. anxiety. wow.

Can you rec some fics similar to Higher Ground? Basically fics where the pack are basically teens with horrible life situations they all come together and each other out. The big bad isnt a monster but is their parents or abusive teachers stuff.

Maaaaybe? 

Higher Ground by Kikileduc

(211,486 I Mature I Sterek)

Inspired by the TV show of the same name.

This is the story of 9 high school students from around the country, who have been sent to Beacon of Hope, a boarding school for ‘at risk’ teens. They each have a past as well as closely guarded secrets and have all dealt with trauma in one sense or another.

They’ll have to learn to trust and love again in a world that was simply too cruel for their young ages. Luckily for them, John Stilinski started this camp that combines outdoor bonding activities with schooling just for students like them who come from broken homes or got mixed up in illegal activities.

High School Blues by theskywalkerkid

(2/? I 4,046 I Mature I Sterek)

Derek, Laura, and Cora Hale move to Beacon Hills, California after their parents decide they want to run their company in a quiet suburban area. The kids get used to their new school, friends, and life. Along the way, Derek meets Stiles, who is dating Theo who is very possessive of him. Quickly Derek starts to fall for him and wants to protect him from the danger that is Theo.

As Our Paths Cross by whatinthehelliot

(10/? I 12,712 I Teen I Sterek)

Stiles Stilinski is new to Beacon Hills High, but he didn't expect that they'd be so unwelcoming. Derek Hale is a student shrouded in mystery, whom everyone refers to as the 'Silent Prince'. How do their paths cross?

“I’m in no need of a knight in shining armor,” Stiles interrupts. “Thank you for your concern, kind sir,” he adds with a flourish of his hand and mocking bow of his head.

“And I think I got it covered if the need arises,” Matt adds, sliding into the seat beside Stiles and throwing an arm across his shoulders.

“Right,” Derek says, feeling more idiotic by the minute. “Sorry to bug you or whatever.”

A Teenage Love Song by HaleHathNoFury (My_Trex_has_fleas)

(26/26 I 155,834 I Explicit I Sterek)

Stiles is sick and tired of how much he fucks up. His dad is disappointed, his step-mom judges and his step-brother can do no wrong. It's not that he doesn't love them, he just gets so tired of being different. Now he's being moved lock, stock and barrel to Beacon Hills aka the town his mom grew up in so they can go live in his grandma's house and his father can get him back on the straight and narrow.

It's going to suck.

Grimdor - Tharkûn (Demo) and The Mountain Path (Demo)

In the past I've chosen to review two short albums by an artist because they are a complement to each other. In this case, it's just because these two releases comprise maybe a total of 9 minutes of music. Grimdor is apparently quite loved for this sort of thing - other releases have combined DS and raw Black Metal into the sound, and those set a fairly high standard for that mix of genres that is often imitated and very rarely reached, in my opinion, with a combination of low-fi sound and fully conceived songwriting and execution that perhaps sounds easier to do than it actually is.

For the releases at hand, we have pure DS. Tharkûn (Demo) clocks in at 5 minutes and 58 seconds, while The Mountain Path is 2 minutes and 48 seconds. Both releases seem to be recorded in a single take, with a single instrument setting. The brevity of the tracks means, for the most part, that not a note is wasted. You'll hear absolutely nothing new here harmonically - these songs are all built on the very archetypal chord progressions of dungeon synth, but it is their strong melodic presence that drives them. These melodies - sometimes leading the piece, sometimes working in the space around a simple rhythmic figure - all seem improvised on the spot and in relation to the keyboard patch used. If there's more than a single musical idea, you never hear each idea more than once - no returning back to the original idea if the tune ever departs from its starting point. Compositionally this is about as barebones as it gets. Four out of 5 of the pieces on Tharkûn have the same key center (A minor), and when you're dealing with archetypal DS composition, you end up with what feels like some redundant melodies. The first three tracks here seem perfectly evocative and assured, the kind of timeless combination of . The last two feel a little more meandering or uncertain, as though perhaps a creative or chemical buzz was starting to fade.

The pros of this approach are that when the iron is hot, the end result is totally evocative - for less than 90 seconds per song. Some of these melodies, in combination with the minimal but well chosen sound world, are about as evocative of the mythic/medieval sound as any of the 90s classic recordings. The cons are that 6 minutes is, for most of us, not enough time to really make a proper escape from the world. As part of a gaming or reading playlist (perhaps consisting of the entire discography, which would be maaaaybe one hour at most), this music would make an excellent contribution.

The even shorter "The Mountain Path (Demo), begins with one track, also in A minor. This one feels like it could've been left off of Tharkûn, but it's a phenomenal melody, about as complex as can be accomplished with a simplistic progression like this without feeling too meandering. The second track offers some pretty significant contrast (compared to the other release), both in terms of the qualities of the melody and the key (F# minor). The progression is similar, but the character of each is quite a contrast.

So the question on my mind - why so many short releases? This artist seems to have access to a dungeon stream of great purity, yet only choses to dip a shallow cup in for each release. The artwork is evocative, yet the tracks have no titles. The album titles themselves are unfamiliar to a person with a more-than-passing knowledge of the Tolkien universe, but without much else to go on, it feels like a default setting for creative inspiration. Does the artist feel as though the magic would somehow be ruined if the length of these releases got any longer? I would love to know

But it is useless to complain about what isn't here - what IS here is quite strong and evocative. I bet this artist could destroy the competition if they chose to put out even a 20 minute release with even a tiny bit more versatility, though.

[star-anise]

Hey so your post about wanting people to want you just punched me in the chest cos I genuinely thought that was a me problem, do you have any advice on how you deal with that constructively? Because I sure as hell don't know... no worries if it'd something you'd rather not talk about though :)

To be honest... I’m still working through it!!! I literally just figured it out as I wrote that post.

Dealing with that gaping void got a little easier this summer bc I could sob wretchedly about how terrifying expressing my desires was while resting my head in my girlfriend’s lap while she petted my hair, but since we normally live on opposite ends of the country, it’s!! a little expensive for everyday use!!

I do kind of have vague sketchy thoughts of:

1. Desensitization training to the experience of having other people indulge your wants and needs. Even little things are hard for me--if I’m in a mall with a friend and I want to look into a store they’re apathetic about, I’ve sometimes found myself very afraid of going inside and making them wait or accompany me for five minutes. More to the point, this is an anxiety trigger for me--if I try it, my body rapidly escalates my anxiety to “OH FUCK HOLY SHIT YOU MESSED UP HERE THEY PROBABLY HATE YOU.” Do maaaaybe I can do systematic desensitization, where I practice asking for something minor or saying, “Can you humour me for a bit,” and staying calm through it. 

2. Practicing that trick where instead of apologizing to people, you thank them. Like, instead of “Sorry I’m late,” “Thanks for waiting for me.” Instead of, “Sorry, I know I’m trying,” try “Thanks for bearing with me.”

3. This all, of course, depends on the other person being able to say no. If they cannot say no, it becomes a consent issue where asking is fraught. So it helps me to keep aware of who’s able to consent and who isn’t.

4. For sex, there are things like yes/no/maybe lists, and those might be helpful? Maybe I could make a yes/no/maybe list of fanfic tropes?

5. I know people who are into deeply weird and unusual sexual things, and they have found people! Who like the thing too and do it with them! So actually just figuring out what you’re into and networking to find someone else who’s into it too seems to be a very effective way to go about things. (This is a benefit of polyamory for me: I get a lot more leeway to look and less pressure to turn one person into a one-stop shop.)

6. People who learn about what you like and give you the thing but act really shitty about it and complain about how onerous you are? Are bad people to be sexually or romantically involved with. Their grousing is not an automatic sign that you are bad or unreasonable. You need more data because it’s very possible that there might be someone out there who would love to give you the thing.

I’m also open to more thoughts!
