Sorry, y'all, for the random spam, but I had a lot of things I was doing and exploring, and I now finally have the motivation to share a lot of changes that have happened in my life. Okay, so my life is pretty great, and I've been actively manifesting for a while now. But I had a problem. Outside of shifting when it comes to my manifestations, for the most part, I like them to happen in a "realistic way.” (I wasn’t like this at the beginning ofc but now I am). I know that sounds stupid, but for example, when I manifested a car, I didn’t just have it appear on my driveway. I like to be a part of the process and watch it blossom into my reality (very quickly, may I add, because I'm impatient and a "now, now, now" type person), but I like to see my creations, you know?
So I was talking about my friends about some revisions I'd like to see in my state and life, more so bigger manifestations outside of myself for my community, you know? I've been feeling very grateful, and outside of manifesting, I love to dabble in philanthropy and other hobbies, and I'd like that to intertwine with manifesting as well!
There were a few things I had in mind, but again, I'm picky and annoying, and I was like, "Hmm, how will this come to fruition in my way?" I tried to plan it out, which is like (?? Rule number one of manifestation: don't worry about the how), but I actually do like to plan things out sometimes because I'm annoying, and when it happens, I'm like, "Hehe, that was me, go shawty."
Anyways, here were a few things I wanted:
* I visited Vienna, Austria in the summer, and I found the concept of their homeless shelters very admiring. In Vienna, they have emergency flats provided by the city for safe housing in emergency situations. I wanted something like that in my state, but living in America, which is very anti-homeless, it seemed challenging. I mean they spend more money on funding anti-homeless architecture than solving the ever so rising mental health and housing crisis but that’s a topic for another day. However, I was inspired by the Vienna Women's Refuge Association and their efforts to support women in need and I wanted something like that here.
* I wanted many restaurants that I've seen in other cities I've visited to be established in my city. My city is pretty big, but for some reason, it's often ignored when it comes to those corporations. I wanted to visualize all my favorite restaurants and make a list of where I want them, downtown, by my house, etc. It wasn't coming together, and I couldn't find the desire to script it. I also wanted more unique clothing stores because I’ve gotten more into fashion these past few months.
* I wanted my city to have more of the vibes of LA and NYC, without actually moving there. I love my city, but I wanted it to have that same energy. However, I didn't know how to get to that end point like I normally do with my other desires.
Honestly, I kind of put these desires on the back burner and just forgot about them, knowing that my life is already going in the direction I want it to. Then, we began getting a lot of news about how gentrification is about to occur, and how the prices in my city are going up. There's a lot of new construction happening for seemingly no reason. It turns out a huge tech company is establishing companies in my city, which will bring in new jobs, money, and people. At first, I was annoyed, thinking these people need to stay away, but then I remembered that I literally asked for this. Gentrification and all the other things that come along with migration, jobs, and a rising economy tie into what I wanted for my city to be like NYC and LA. I'm already seeing the renovation reflect what I imagined, and I am a happy girl.
Then, the next like week or so idk, my state gave funding to my fav mall and they received a couple billion dollars for a massive renovation. At first, I thought it was irrelevant, but then I saw a list of 300 establishments, clothes stores and restaurants that will be around my mall area. Every restaurant I desired, even the ones I only thought about for a second, were on that list. It's so funny when you forget about your manifestations and they come together even better than you could imagine. The mall getting renovated is one that I visit all the time, and now I can have all my favorite indulgences in one space. I'm super excited for everything to be done.
* On that same day, I saw that my state's very conservative governor (btw I went to school with his grandson and he was asintelligent as a bag of rocks) Is opening very affordable housing for human trafficking victims. This cause is close to my heart. Though i don’t personally know any victims myself I have read of many cases on the news and trials like cyntonia brown would make my blood boil. I’m surprised I didn’t think of this of myself but I’m m glad to see steps being taken to support these survivors.
So, sometimes, when we put our desires on the back burner, they can still manifest in unexpected and amazing ways.I seriously forgot about all of this and was just living my life, not even consciously trying to manifest it, and it happened anyway. Also, this may seem very stupid, but hey, all desires should be manifested no matter how small or stupid. There's this kind of big influencer at my school, and she seems really sweet and someone who I'd get along with. She's really political and speaks her mind, and has a bunch of reels about spirituality and feminism which is really dope considering how people act on social media, especially Instagram.
Anyways, I just thought one time, like a week ago, it would be nice to be friends with her or meet her or something, and out of nowhere, she slid up on my story yesterday and messaged me 😭😭😭. It was so funny to me, but yeah, we have plans to hang out. So yeah, even though sometimes I like planning my manifestations to see them happen in color, the same thing can happen without you planning either way. It will work out better than I expected, I promise don't worry.

morning bliss
pairing: john "soap" mactavish x reader
rqt: [] yes [x] no
wc: 1.7k+
a/n: this one was inspired by @charnelhouse. seriously go read like all of her works. but this piece in patricular came about after drowning myself in all the domestic red x ghost vibes. and i wanted to give soapy a family to return too. so here we are!
synopsis: everything up to this point had been worth it, and so would everything to come after
warnings: casual morning smut. p vanilla
Tumblr media
You don’t remember exactly when he came in the night before. Vaguely recalled the dip in the mattress, a stretch of arms and a heavy weight over your hip. There may have been a kiss exchanged somewhere; a sloppy attempt that caught his cheek. Then you let yourself fall back under, content with the knowledge that he’d made it home safe.
Now you are more coherent. Elbows tucked under you as you looked over the slumbering man. The summer humidity managed to assault the integrity of the house, bringing a foggy muck along with the sunrise. It would be an easy fix to get up and recalibrate the air conditioning but you decided preemptively that you’d suffered through worse.
To John, the heat may as well have just been another blanket with the way he slumbered comfortably under the shadow of your comforter. You’d switched it out for the lighter one, more favorable for the season, but even you had been too weak to remain under for the night. Recklessly kicking it away in your sleep.
Your husband on the other hand, welcomed the embrace, completely covered save for a rebellious hand or foot.
Slowly you manipulated the corners back, revealing skin lightly doused with sweat. Fingers slide along the firm plans, ending around scars and healing bruises until the erratic pattern roused the figure into a shift.
His eyes didn’t open but you could tell that he was gaining recognition. The muscles, still hard from use, jumped more actively to your touch, seeking out the light caress. For a moment you briefly wondered if you could escape for a few minutes to prepare a pot of coffee. Whether it was utilized or not, the aroma was always welcomed in the morning.  
But before your nerves signal the thoughts into actions, your husband repositions himself once more, humming audibly as his hand reaches out to mold against your thigh.
Unable to resist, you leaned closer and nuzzled back a few damp strands, whispering quietly,” Felt like you got in late.”
On paper, John was on the cusp of retirement, but his skills had yet to decline and as such he was still in high demand. He would forever be the soap’ until the day he died, and likely long after with achievements kilometers long. but the excursions were shorter though, the hours almost relatable to a high-risk nine to five. 
The edges of sleep restricted his level of communication to short grunts and low hums. It was hard to tell if he was acknowledging your statement or simply responding to the sound of your voice.
You responded in kind, with a soft hum to maintain the complacent peace. It would be a stretch to remember his exact schedule, but you felt safe to assume that you had him for the morning. As tired as he may be, there was little to dilute the responsibility of his duties. In the beginning you saw it as a concern but over time you began to accept his perseverance and supported it rather than thwarted it.
The hand on your thigh curled deeper into a grip, established enough to pull and drag at it until you got the hint and hitched it over his hip.
Your hands still tickled at the features of his face, skimming lightly until his nose turned at the effort. You took that opportunity to catch him up with what he missed outside of his recent case.
“I repainted the porch.”
John’s chest vibrated but there was no vocal manifestation of the growl, “I know, you left the top off on the paint.”
You were stuck between laughing at that being his response or the fact that somehow beyond two in the morning he managed to catch that. The hand not occupied with rearranging his hair pattern, reached for him and looped them together.
“Thank you for resealing it,” you showed gratitude for the unspoken gesture by smudging your lips against his cheek.
“It looked good.” His voice was no greater than a breath. There was no way for him to notice more than a slight color change but you weren’t one to rebuttal compliments, especially when he seemed so generous with them this morning.
You rewarded him again and he leaned into it in welcome, face pressed into the pillow; bleary eyed hiding half of his face.
“Anything else?”
You went quiet in thoughtful silence as your leg curled tighter around him. “Hmm. ‘Pulled the weeds up from the garden.”
“Hm, sexy. What else?”
Your eyes crinkled, laughter lines forming in tune with the humorous atmosphere he was creating.
“I refreshed the scotch stash.”
“That’s my girl.”
He was slowly clearing the fog of sleep, eyes widening to a sliver; eyelids to low and morning light to dim to properly appreciate the color.
Puckering your lips, your joined hands lifted to receive the action against scarred knuckles.
“No pitter patter?”
It took a second your mind to fill in the blanks of the curt request, the thick hazed you’d both fallen into comfort with rising just a few inches in clarity. The quietness was enough of a clock for any pair of patents. Unfortunately, it came with a few extra alarms as your daughter was now at the age where she would happily sleep in. The excitement of school is long gone.
But the sun was hardly awake enough to spare it’s own greeting allowing you to justify at least another hour of silence.
“I set an extra alarm to cut into her snooze time,” you said next, though the question had already oiled the cogs of your mind as you began to juggle thoughts of breakfast and homework. She was reaching that point where attendance and participation would begin to break ground on her educational career.
Your tongue tastes bitter as you reluctantly start the process of untangling your fingers,” I should check on the laundry. “
“H-..hold on,” a yawn stuttered over his speech and he found refuge in the pillow to fight it with a stifling muffle. “ We got time, baby.”
Brow furrowing in amusement, you allowed your body to be pulled impossibly close, helpfully kicking at the blanket to relieve some heat.
“Not too tired?” It was implied without saying. There was no doubt that every waking hour for him was both a mind and body challenge. At this point in your life, you’d learned to differentiate between needs and necessity. At this age you were both a long way away from young lovers without responsibilities. If a warm embrace was all you could get at the end of the day, you’d take that happily. Sometimes it took swallowing back selfishness for the greater good.
“Never too tired for this.”
Okay, that was a lie. You were reminded of a particular event where he’d happily succumbed to exhaustion knuckle deep into your core.
There were a plethora of nearly concern grunts and groans as he pulled himself to his elbows, uncommonly pushing aside your leg in the process. John traced the curve of your waist with a thick thumb as he hovered over you, and your legs parted automatically to give him room to slot himself in between. It was likely going to be a quick one-two pump, but damn if unintentional abstinence didn’t make that seem like the sexiest wildest fantasy.
He’d stripped to his briefs before bed, a thankful last minute thought you were grateful for as your fingers curled under the only barrier. It takes a gratuitous push to get it over the swell of his ass, a resting place he deems fine for what he had in store. The rock of his hips jars your touch and your gaze as your head lolls to the side. “Needed this. Needed you.”
John drew back momentarily to reach out towards the bedside table. You were assured that the box would be full, certainty backed by the foil square now wedged between his teeth. You were both older and more weathered but notably more wiser to unexpected surprises and expectations.
There was little time spent on the runway, not wanting to burn energy before take off. You turned your head in offering, and John chased the hint, lips planting warm kisses down the length of your neck. His fingers were idle, moving with intention and deliberation to widen and retrain for accommodation. Your hips helped a little, rolling down into his touch for a few simple strokes before he pulled away and lined himself up.
There was no expectation of a marathon, yet you both started off slow and gradual, grinding into each other with small movement. HIs mouth neck left your collar bone, heated breaths now fanning against the dam skin. The years have been a slow transition from rough thrusts and heavy pounding into what could only be coined as ‘morning bliss’. Soft, unhurried and just full of crafted love and adoration.
You mewl when a particular stroke rubs your walls just right, moaning vocally to emphasize his accuracy. Still sleep-rumbled, John still manages to draw his name from your lips. It’s lazy yet fulfilling and there is little surprise when your orgasm begins to sneak up on you.
“Yes, right there, John.”
“I’m right behind you, baby.”
A third voice interrupts, “When did Daddy get home?”
John is the quicker of the two, on hand working up his briefs while the other fists the blanket over your huddled bodies, before your daughter’s knees hit the mattress. He goes a step forward, a true feat, to catch her around the waist before she could slip under the sheets. Happy with her intended target, she snuggles close under his arm as he finds your gaze with repressed frustration and fading libido.
You could only smile in acceptance.
It was a hardy but fair compromise, to untangle your fingers from the tightly wound bundle of release. But the tradeoff was worth it. Your daughter’s transition from babbles into coherent conversations was a beautiful thing, especially witnessing it now as she caught her father up on everything he’d missed in the last twelve hours. 
John made it a note to try to keep his absences low when he could, which meant mirroring her school and sleep schedules. It was a variable schedule but you had learned to adapt. You would never quite get a fill of your husband, but it was more rewarding to share. 
Clad in his boxers, your husband takes first leave with your daughter squirming and giggling over his shoulder. The moment was over but the memories would keep rolling in. The smile on his face the start of a new one as he urged you on with a nod of his head,
“Breakfast then?”

I want my titties to be as big as RZK titties 😩 double palm action
I hope we see them this summer!
Hi 👀
I think that is a wish which is shared throughout the fandom quite a lot - I mean witnessing the magnificent boobs of our beloved Richard in the wild 🤌🏻 (Personally wouldn't say no to the other sentiment either)
Not sure if this will happen, I myself am predicting a vest-situation again - maybe a fitting one this time around (still praying sometimes for this man to find clothes his size), even though the last tours really served us some wonderful looks due to tightness in various places 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yet we could practice the art of manifesting a free RZK chest by concentrating on good ol' times and sending Richard the best self-confidence vibes for the upcoming tour as possible 😌

have you entered the void before?
I'm asking cause I've seen you post about it a bunch times with different methods to enter
Also, thank you for introducing me to the phase method! I'm using it and another method (one I created) to enter
Hey! Glad to hear the Phase has been helpful for you! Happy to answer your question, but it’s a bit more complicated than a yes/no answer and I’m feeling rambly today so you’re gonna get a whole backstory on how this blog came to be 😂
Backstory about me & this blog
I’d been in the personal development manifestation community since around 2016, and it was my life for a long time. But the kind of manifesting these people taught was basically like… wake up at 5am, work out, journal, meditate, shadow work, tarot cards, affirmations, cold showers, start a business, post no less than 10 times a day across your 5+ social media channels, and maybe if you hustle hard enough and cleared enough past life karma and Mercury isn’t retrograde, then the universe might grant your wishes... (if you don’t die of exhaustion first. 😅)
It really was a mess and realize now despite the facade of positive thinking and good vibes, the whole community really just keeps themselves identifying with lack & victim mentality so the coaches at the top profit off everyone else’s misery.
I believed in manifesting and had faith I would achieve my goals, but despite years of trying a million different things, only saw small or short-term successes and never seemed to get anywhere. I was feeling pretty burnt out and miserable, so summer 2023 I decided to stop trying so hard and just spend some time focused on myself and what I wanted. I went back to the two methods that I’ve always loved and had success with: affirmations and tapping.
I tapped every day and started making affirmation art and lockscreen wallpaper for fun. I posted the affirmations on Pinterest, which eventually lead me to finding affirmations pinned from tumblr. I think it was a screenshot from blushydior I saw at first, but her blog was deactivated by then. So I started stumbling around tumblr (around Aug-Sept 2023 at this point), where I eventually came across loa, the void, and shifting.
I was surprised because despite my extreme research into all things personal development & spiritual, I’d never heard of it. Although I’d read about quantum physics and more supernatural things, every coach/teacher had major limits. “Manifesting” only meant getting logical earth things like making 6 figures in your business through hard work and hustle so you can afford to travel and buy luxury cars & Chanel bags. Stuff like changing the past, waking up with all your desires, etc was absolutely impossible and not even talked about except “you can’t change the past”.
So having only heard about these incredible overnight life-changing manifestations from tumblr, I was skeptical and wanted more information. I basically started this blog to collect information from outside tumblr to prove it to myself and share with others. Which of course sent me down a rabbit hole of research and overconsumption and overcomplicating the void 😅
I did get kinda obsessed and throw myself into trying every shifting & void method I saw right away, which just left me frustrated with “failed” attempts. But I see now I was just repeating the same victim mentality from the old community - that everything had to be hard and a struggle, that I was a victim of circumstance and limited by a higher power. (This is also a really commonly held limiting belief in religion and society in general that affects many people.)
It took me more than a few months to realize, but I’m finally switching my default programming to that of a creator instead of a victim. Because I don’t want to be obsessed and put the void on a pedestal, I’m currently just working on my self concept that I am in control of my reality and can manifest whatever I want - with or without the void. I still do want to experience it of course, just want to make sure I’m going at it with a healthy mindset.
However!
About a week or two ago I read someone’s void success story that triggered a memory from many years ago: I realized I actually did wake up in the void and manifested something, long before I even knew what manifesting or the void was 😭 Because I’d always believed in supernatural things, I thought I had a “psychic dream” but now I know it was the void! (If anyone wants storytime I can make another post with more detail).
And since at the time, I entered without even knowing about the void’s existence, I realize we here or tumblr really do overcomplicate it. Like the video I posted where the void is described as the midway point between wake and sleep - it really is that simple!
I’ve noticed now that whenever I wake up naturally (not getting woken up by an alarm, outside noise, or cat jumping on me) I do always seem to wake up in the void. It’s the same kind of experience, and I don’t hear anything, but my first natural instinct when I wake up is to wonder where the sounds of my environment are. So I end up tuning in to my room and snapping out of the void.
I guess I just have to train myself to make my first thought an affirmation for my desires instead of just wondering where the sounds are 😅 But regardless, now I know it’s absolutely real and possible for me, I know it’s only a matter of time until I figure it out!

Hello Spring!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spring time is here and I feel so much happier! Here are the things I'm looking forward to during my spring break:
Girlblogging and Writing- Obviously. <3
Reading- I've been in a reading slump for a while, so I hope to finish my book.
Eating good food- I'm so excited for all the delicious food and easter eggs I'll be having!
Watching Movies + Tv Shows- I'm loving 'The O.C' at the moment.
Spring Cleaning- Believe it or not, I'm excited to deep clean my room and put my winter clothes away.
Baking Sweet Treats- I'm definitely going to be making some easter bunny cupcakes!
Buying new clothes- I need to start deciding what my spring/summer 2024 vibe is...
Trips to the library + Meeting friends- I am definitely going to be meeting my friends for a Starbucks, and also taking trips to my local library to pick up some more books for when I've finished my other one.
Having an exercise week- This is where I am going to be doing some form of exercise a day, whether that be a dance video, yoga, kickboxing or pilates, I will be engaging in physical exercise everyday, so that I can enhance my fitness and get back into good habits.
Manifesting+ listening to feel-good podcasts- I love listening to podcasts. My favourite one has to be Jadyn Hailey's 'Busy Yet Pretty' podcast. It's excellent! I also like to take the time to look inwardly and ask myself what are my goals, dreams and next steps and I will write this all down. You could even create a moodboard!

Hey guys!
I wanted to talk to you about something. Sometimes I feel like reality is an illusion, and I can't trust anyone. My mom keeps telling me I'm a jerk and an airhead, and that she'll confiscate my phone. It's hard to know if she's joking or serious, but it's really messing with my head. On top of that, my sister constantly makes me do her chores and orders around the house, and it makes me so sad that I can't handle it. It's like she has zero respect for me, and it's ruining our relationship. I know that I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best. It's hard to believe in myself sometimes, but I'm working on it..I've had enough - enough of all the negativity and disrespect from my family. It's time for me to take control of my life and make a change. That's why I'm working on a new song called 'Enough is Enough',is inspired by an artist called Rio Romeo. It's a song that's going to be super traumatic and emotional, and it's going to help me heal from all the pain and hurt I've been going through. Also, I've been listening to a little a lot of music lately and it's been helping me so much. Artists like James Marriott, TV Girl, Inhaler and Los Campesinos have been making me so excited about the future and giving me so much hope. They've really made me happy, and I'm so grateful for that. But the best part is that there are only two more months until summer arrives, and that's when I'm planning to run away. So I need y'all to keep manifesting and send positive vibes my way, so I don't get caught and can enjoy them…
Love,Dani..

Congratulations on 1k! I love your writing so much and I’m so glad your getting time to write again. Not sure if u vibe with r&b but for the ficlet I wanna suggest Hitoshi shinso with the song damage by H.E.R.🌝
Ahh, thank you!! I haven't listened to a lot of R&B in decades, but I used to love it back in the late 90s/early 2000s (haha I'm totally dating myself right now). Now I listen to a variety of punk rock, alternative, folk/indie, etc. My tastes have always been diverse though, and I give everything a try at least once! That being said, great choice. Here's your ficlet with Shinsou! <3
Shinsou never had doubts about the kind of man he was. Even when others gave him the side eye when they learned of his quirk, walking on eggshells in fear of being on the receiving end of his sinuous, quirk-laced words. He knew he was a good person. He knew that he was honest. Honorable. He knew he had what it took to be a hero.
He also knew that he was level-headed. Cautious. Observing.
But he never considered himself soft, or an emotional person. He was never reckless, particularly when it came to matters of the heart. He had emotions, of course... but he wasn't one to be controlled by them. He learned at a very early age, after his quirk had manifested, how dangerous his emotions could be. How they could escape his lips as biting words, causing greater damage than most.
Which was why he was so baffled by his feelings for you. You, who'd somehow managed to get yourself under his skin, working your way into his mind until you occupied every corner of it with your warm light and called it home. You, who'd awakened his world with the brightness of your smile, blessed his ears with the sound of your laugh. It was the look in your eyes that you gave him, warm and dark with a depth that humbled him. It captivated him every time, holding him hostage, his world spinning maddenly away around him, as if he were a celestial body and you were his star.
Somehow, he always found himself with his heart somehow outside of his chest and held in cupped, open hands. Late night conversations. Early morning confessions. And silent moments shared, like a secret - experienced but never spoken. With you, he was raw, vulnerable. Exposed.
In short, Shinsou was head over heels in love with you. Completely and utterly smitten.
And he wasn't sure he liked it. Because he wasn't sure if you understood... if you really understood the power you had over him. His heart was a fragile, soft thing. It had been carefully locked away from harm for so long that it had never quite had the chance to grow, to build resilience in adversity. In truth, you could shred it to pieces in an instant if you so chose, delicate petals disintegrating into ash in the fire of hateful, angry words, or freezing and breaking away like broken shards in your cold indifference.
But you didn't use those kinds of words. And you were never cold. Not towards him. Instead, it was always warmth, and grace, and shared looks that always lasted a second longer than they should. The kind of looks wanted him to open his palms, extend his arms to freely give what he'd protected for so long.
All his life, Shinsou wanted nothing more than to be a good hero. And he still wanted that. But right now, more than anything, with the two of you sitting together on a grassy hill in the warm twilight of summer, all he wanted was to be a good man. For you.

i present: yuichi's playlist! [spotify] [youtube]
(as of 3/14/2024)
as with most of the playlists i make, some songs are readily applicable, some just have the right Vibe, some are sorta funny... and in yuichi's case, there's a lot of a rain theme going on lol
(also, some are ones from my own tourabu mood playlist that i just had to bring over)
because i've always wanted to do this i'm gonna go through all the songs and maybe explain why i put it there or something?? yolo! playlist guide under the cut lol
i recommend having this going while you listen!
most songs (on the youtube version) have lyrics/translations where available!
there's a lot of kpop don't judge me lol
Dreamcatcher - Full Moon this is a song from dc to their fans on their first anniversary lol, so the themes of a somewhat-new bond are pretty relevant!
Seventeen- Campfire do i even need to explain? sobs this song makes my heart warm ... just thinking about yuichi & all the toudans sitting around a campfire having *sniffles* precious moments... ; A;
Rihanna - Umbrella LMAO this one is very on-the-nose but also just thinking about it's hilarious, i couldn't resist. (plus like... it's a jam. also lyrically it actually does fit!)
Dreamcatcher - Boca be prepared to see a lot of dreamcatcher w/me, they're my Favorite(TM). anyway Boca is about protecting someone from harsh words (better translation is "if those thornlike words / start to hurt you / i won't let them open that boca (mouth)") AND has a very rainy/stormy atmosphere which makes it perfect. yes i know my toudans are Sword Warriors yes i still want to protect them as best i can!! (it's more about like. bullying and hate but yknow. similar sentiments...shhh...)
The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men ...............i don't think i need to explain myself on this >.> (THO HAHA IMAGINE IF THIS WAS HOW SWORDS MANIFESTED IN HIS HONMARU i'm dead)
ToppDogg -Annie (Anniversary) another 'anniversary' type song, i think it speaks for itself. saniwa💙toudans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clean Bandit - Rather Be lyrically, yes!! being a saniwa is not an easy or peaceful job by any means but yuichi wouldn't want to be anywhere else <3 also the song makes me think of rainy/cool moist days!
Seventeen - Home seventeen shows up a decent amount too, but what can i say? the songs fit lol. saniwa-toudan relationships might not always be 100% sunshine and rainbows, but... they are home, no?
Twice - Feel Special GOD. this song came out while i was very into tkrb a few years ago and so that plus the song itself made me actually cry when i first watched it lol. it's so fitting though, i think from toudan or yuichi's perspective. for yuichi, he clearly struggles with his self-worth, and is...well, he's no stranger to a breakdown. but ... he's got so many touken danshi around him who love him
Girls' Generation - Talk Talk no explanation needed methinks! <3 just comparing a love to the rain
SF9 - The Beat Goes On okay this song is just like... pure beach episode, everyone gathering in the sunset and having a great time being free with each other. i include it on so many playlists where i just want to imagine a joyful time with the whole cast of whatever, it just has to go here too, even if you'd be hard-pressed to get yuichi on a beach lol
Yuju - Play this is just strictly for the vibes. i don't know that yuichi has someone who dipped and hurt him like that (but it could be interesting i guess lol). the song just is perfect for the rainy atmosphere
Dreamcatcher - Piri i told u prepare for dreamcatcher lol. anyway this song is literally about like... depression and getting to a point where you need a lifeline. very yuichi, unfortunately
New Politics - One of Us another "do i even need to explain?" song ;u; it's definitely on my tkrb playlist lol. also the lyric video is kinda fun lol imagining it as different toudans at the table
Gfriend - Summer Rain just very nice rainy vibes.
Super Junior - Why I Like You this song (the whole album really) has always given me rainy/humid vibes. but also... love <3 (ofc not necessarily romantic in yuichi's case! but yknow what i mean)
Flo Rida - My House almost a joke addition but like... also almost not a joke LOL
David Cook - Come Back to Me okay this song is tkrb playlist because it's like... 100% kiwame send-off vibes. i initially added it after watching hanamaru, thinking about kashuu sending off yasusada, but i think it also suits most sendoffs very well. i wanna cry. sobs....
SF9 - RPM So I don't have a good reason for adding this to yuichi's or my tkrb playlist other than it makes me think of using time travel to go on a mission. also i just REALLY like the song... and listening to it with the rain going is mmmwah *chef kiss*. just imagine a team going up to the [time travel device] all ready to fucking GO, looking all badass in the mist and shit. and then PPEPWWW they go! and now they're ready to fuck shit up (to un-fuck the timeline)... it's the VIBES AGAIN
Darren Hayes - Bloodstained Heart no words needed <3
Dreamcatcher - Over the Sky another anniversary fan song from dc! this song just makes me so happy and like. energized. spring time. anime conventions. so it's on my tkrb playlist, but it's also a sweet and fun song so, yknow, puts it on.
Ravi - Lean on Me is this yuichi talking to a toudan? or a toudan talking to yuichi? or ? who knows, but either way, i like it. sweet and reliable.
Seventeen - Thanks just... a song about being so grateful to know and love someone.
Major Lazer - Cold Water (the one song with justin bieber i listen to unironically lol)
Seventeen - Holiday oh man just LISTEN to it, even without the lyrics it's just like. fun!! party!! chill!!
SF9 - Bibora a jam. a rainy jam. but also maybe some parts of it speak to yuichi.
Jinsoul (Loona) - Singing in the Rain KNK - Rain Super Junior - Raining Spell for Love Strictly for the vibes.
JBJ - True Colors oh man. this song makes me cry too. my heart...
Starley - Call on Me Another song that I think explains itself lol
Dreamcatcher - Reason yet another anniversary song from deukae but it fits. through all the triumphs and hardships, despair and joy, the toudans in this citadel have become his whole reason for being and they inspire him to keep going and do better and be someone they can depend on and be proud to call their saniwa.

Sometimes you just need to be MIA. And sometimes you go from seasonal depression to just the big D. Which isn’t the big D we may want, but beggars can’t be choosers, and my manifestation skills are not good. My mojo is no bueno.
Listen. It’s not talking shit if it’s the truth. It’s just straight stating the facts.
Tumblr media
Lol the dip was Cowboy Caviar. Very simple to make. Always a hit. The only way I’ll eat beans too. Won’t touch beans any other way.
Lol I’m legit going to be adding it to my resume. I’ve even called the IT department for help and he (because of course it’s a he) said they don’t do that. So I freaking figured out how to do it myself and helped others do it too. Like f IT.
Tumblr media
Did you listen to the new EXO comeback? I really liked one of the songs. Completely fits my summer vibe at the moment.
Do I truly have my life together? Who knows. But on Sundays? I can definitely pretend. The baklava people have started to give me deals. Like bathe me in baklava please.
Tumblr media
I hope you have a safe holiday! Enjoy some yummy cookout and pretty lights!
Tumblr media
I’m currently at the beach. Beautiful weather. BUT OMG last night! I was at the beach and found bioluminescent phytoplankton!!! I had no clue this beach had them and I’ve been coming here since I was like 2! I will def try to get a picture!
Bout to go down a hot lobster role.
<3
P.S. I also got dark chocolate Cherry cordials (idk how to spell it). So delish. Bathe me in that too.
I 100% needed to go MIA. I still need to go MIA tbh lol. I just felt really bad about not responding to anyone on here 😭😭 I probably do have the big D (not the one I want though, unfortunately). This year has been pretty fucking rough. Easily one of the suckiest I've had, and idk if I'm depressed or if this is just life.
I love your gifs/memes in asks. I forgot how much they bring me joy 🥺🥺. I can't manifest to save my life, either, so don't feel too bad ❤️❤️
I'm gonna have to Google cowboy caviar now, so I can remember what it looked like lol. Also, OF COURSE ITS A HE 🙄🙄. You better add that shit to your resume lol. That's a qualified skill baby 👏👏
What EXO song fit your summer vibe? I'm so embarrassed that I can only name like 3 songs from that album. I should lose my exol status for this.
That's so cool you were able to see those bioluminescent plankton thingys!! I've seen pictures of them and they look so freaking cool 😍😍😍 I love that for you

Hellooo
I hope you're having a great day or night . I love your work !!! you rock ! I was hoping you'd do the shipping challenge for me too please?
So I'm a 5'9 woman, I'm 28 years old. I'm French and Ivorian (I'm mixed). My hair is curly, my skin is light kind of a coffee latte color in winter, honey coloured in summer. I am looking fit but I don't work out. I have lively brown eyes who are always twinkling. I like to be the best dressed at work, and I am.
I love the color green ! I love frogs ! I need to dance like a vixen and sing till my voice crack at least twice in the week or I'm not feeling well. I have a lot of clothes but I have nothing to wear. I love traveling, I'm aiming for a well paid job where I'll be able to move locations often.
Personality wise, I appear calm, gentle and kind. I have a quick explosive temper who dissipates itself as quick as it manifest itself. I am understanding, I listen a lot and try to be thoughtful as the best I can and put myself in other ppl shoes. I am very generous, I like to buy things to ppl I love I love to cook for them and seeing them enjoying my cuisine. I am an computer engineer but I feel like it's not for me but I do not have a clear idea on what else to do, so I keep going. My friends said I am most similar to Jimin and Yoongi, for my thoughtfulness, softness, and because I am confident and self assured at all time whilst not falling into arrogance and I'm also funny.
My astro sign is : Sagittarius.
Thank you so much.
Happy belated birthday ! Much love and happiness ♥️
I would ship you with Jimin and Taehyung!
You and Jimin definitely sound really similar, so I think you’d be able to understand each other quite well and find a really good balance together! I think he would be so happy having someone that matches his energy on so many levels(Libras and Sagittarius are also typically a really good match)
Your similarities to Jimin I think would also make you a really great match for Tae! Tae really loves soft, thoughtful gestures, as well as receiving acts of service as a love language(He likes feeling cared for and looked after) so I think you would vibe really well!(also in all seriousness, I think Tae would find you soo gorgeous!)
Hope this was okay💜

Horror recommendations from someone formerly too afraid to enjoy the genre
I spent almost my entire childhood too chicken to watch scary movies, only occasionally trying to brave and get through one here and there. I lost countless hours of sleep over trailers I'd seen on tv for various horror movies, which then went on to shape the nature of my fears--and nightmares--for the rest of my life. But in my late teens I decided to try and conquer my fears by facing the genre head on, and in the process... it actually became my favorite genre.
If you're scared but want to jump in, this is my gift to you, as someone who used to be in your shoes. This list is broken down based on the kind of experience you're looking for, so you can get your feet wet on your own terms. It's not that these movies aren't scary (scary is subjective, after all!), it's that this way you can at least know the general vibe first.
Disclaimer #1: Horror tends to be absolutely teeming with common triggers, so much so that I don't trust myself to individually warn for each item on the list. I suggest using a site like Does the Dog Die? or similar registries to look up anything you might need to filter out. Assume death and violence to be a common theme here. Disclaimer #2: This list is far from perfect. Please don't come into my inbox saying "but what about [insert movie here]?"...
Emotional
If wanting to connect to characters and their situations is a big priority, and you're tired of ye olde "one dimensional teens on summer vacation get picked off one by one" vibes from movies you've considered, here are some deeper, heavier options.
Before I Wake: A couple adopts a child who has been in and out of homes, only to discover the reason why no one will keep him is because he has the ability to physically manifest his dreams as he sleeps... and often has recurring nightmares about a horrible, menacing creature. This movie is an excellent take on the tough issue of how adoption means shouldering a child's baggage, and how difficult that can be, even when you want the best for them.
The Monster: On a long drive through a fairly remote stretch of road, a young mother and her daughter have to deal with both the figurative monster that is the strain on their relationship and the much more literal monster that is the thing hunting them in the woods. For being relatively straightforward in plot, this movie does a lot to tug at the heartstrings.
Train to Busan: A man's train ride to take his small daughter to visit her mother goes south fast when a zombie outbreak hits. Zombie movies aren't for everyone, but even as someone with mixed feelings on the genre, I consider this a must-see that balances drama, action, and fear amazingly well.
Fun
Every horror fan has a different definition of what a "fun" horror movie is, but hopefully you can see eye to eye with me on these movies being a good, entertaining ride.
Nope: Following their father's death, a brother and sister investigate the perplexing occurrences plaguing their family farm. One of my top "go in blind" recs. The less you know, the better. It manages to balance fear and humor while also being a fresh take on a classic concept.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: A group of friends find a book of scary stories, one that's all fun and games until their own names start popping up in the tales. Whether you read the book or not as a kid (which I didn't), this one is incredibly nostalgic. It feels like it belongs at a sleepover, or perhaps retold around a campfire. Perfect viewing for a Halloween party!
Malignant: Surrounded by mysterious deaths, a woman can't help but suspect her childhood imaginary friend may be the one responsible. A fantastic example of a movie where the creep factor is unique and well thought out while also being fun in an almost absurd way.
Unsettling
Sometimes, instead of being outright terrifying, you want a movie that makes you go "hey, what the fuck?"
The Boy: To get away from her own troubles, a young woman accepts a nanny job with strict rules while the parents leave on holiday... only to discover right away that the "child" she must watch is actually a doll. This movie is creepy, subtle, and keeps you guessing. Honestly, it's a great first horror movie if you're looking for something iconic but not so classic you already know the whole plot.
Oculus: A young woman manages to track down the haunted mirror she blames for destroying her family's lives many years ago, and she intends to prove that supernatural forces are behind it all. This remains one of the most interesting horror movies I've watched, combining past childhood terror with an investigative spirit in the present as it jumps back and forth in the story.
Savageland: This mockumentary the trial of a man charged with slaughtering an entire small town because he walked away the lone survivor. Another "go in blind" rec, and honestly a hidden gem. The reflective tone of looking back on the events creates a sense of safety for the viewer, and yet, watching the mystery unfold is positively chilling.
In the Tall Grass: In an attempt to help a boy they spotted from the side of the road, two siblings enter a disorienting field of tall grass. Arguably a bit more "advanced" in its creepiness than others in this category, but I feel like I'd be amiss not to include at least one Stephen King adaptation, and this one makes the cut by not bearing as much pop culture baggage as his better known works.
It's Not That Deep
If you don't want a heavy, involved plot, and would rather focus on the scares, then these movies have you covered!
Sweetheart: A young woman shipwrecked on an island must survive not only the wilderness itself, but the strange beast that wanders onto land at night looking for a snack. If the first episode of Lost set your hopes high for a more creature feature vibe, then this movie will scratch that itch nicely.
Dark Skies: After repeated unexplained occurrences in their home, a family begins to accept that their problem may be extraterrestrial in nature. A fantastic and spooky alien horror flick for both UFO buffs and casual viewers alike.
Willow Creek: While filming a small documentary about the famous Patterson-Gimlin bigfoot film, a couple realizes they aren't alone as they try to reach the site of the film itself. As silly as it starts off, this one captures the simple but powerful fear of not being alone in the woods at night, and is to bigfoot what Dark Skies is to aliens; perfect for both cryptid fanatics and those unfamiliar. Also, it made me hate sleeping in tents even more than I already did.
Staples of the genre
Popular movies are popular for a reason. Here are some ones you've undoubtedly heard of (and maybe even seen parodies of) but get a spot on this post because they're Just That Good. No plot summaries on these, as you likely already know more about them than I could say in any brief description. Just pure opinion from here on!
Ringu/The Ring: Whether watching the original or the American version, this one is a must. I say this despite it being the movie with the trailer that scared--and scarred--me the most as a kid. Onryo are among my worst fears now. Enjoy!
Paranormal Activity: Despite people making fun of it, this one (and its sequels) actually makes amazing use of subtle-but-realistic effects. When I finally watched it, I was shocked by how simple yet high quality it was. I think everyone should watch this at least once.
The Woman in Black: One of my first serious attempts at getting into horror. It's everything you could ask for out of a haunted house movie, hitting all the classic elements without feeling too predictable.
The Blair Witch Project: You know this one. Everyone knows this one. It was THE genre defining found footage movie, so go watch it!
The Conjuring: Yet another great haunted house movie, and one that scratches that "based on a true story" itch to boot! The trailer for this one also scared the snot out of me, except that I was already an adult (I think?) by then. Somehow, it's practically an old friend to me.
Midsommar: As much as this one dealt a devastating blow to critical thinking (particularly of white women), it really is a good movie. Just... please try not to miss the point.
The Ritual: Okay, not quite as iconic as the others in this section, but any creature design fanatic can tell you that this one holds a special place in the hearts of many horror fans. No, it's not one that anybody and everybody has heard of, but it's very well known inside the broader horror fandom.
...And that's it for now! I might edit it to include some others, though, since I had to leave tons of ones I dearly love out, and my willpower to resist mentioning them is not strong.

I just looked at your instagram and first of all your art is awesome!! and second of YOUR ANTIGONE DESIGNS. i'd LOVE to hear more about them if that's not too much trouble
Hi! Thank you for checking out my IG! And sure, I'm more than happy to talk about my work!
My Antigone designs were made as my summer semester project for my 1st bachelor year at VŠMU. The overall vibe I went for was a mix of visual influences reminiscent of ancient Greece (be it literal techniques and forms of ancient Greek clothing or more abstract visuals that simply reminded me of it) meshed together with modern haute couture to create a look that is both timeless, but relevant and relatable for a modern day audience.
(Cut is for length)
Color palette
I intentionally left the color palette a monochromatic scale of white, greys and black, since I thought that it would be tonally unsuitable if I went into colors for a serious tragedy like Antigone. I also set this as a challenge for myself, because up to this assignment, I designed costumes with lots of color. So, I restricted myself to prove that I can do this type of design as well as my usual schtick.
Visual motifs
One big visual motif that I used that interconnects all the costumes I designed is the eye patterns and adornments I hid in the costumes. I intended them as a visual and physical manifestation of the outside world's pressures and expectations on each of the characters and their own self conscience and guilt. For example: Antigone's costumes don't have any eyes of them, since she doesn't place importance in what the society she lives in thinks of her, the most important thing for her is that she can one day enter into the afterlife with a clear conscience over her actions. Whereas Kreon has the eyes take up the entire lining of his cape. He feels the pressure of suddenly having to be the king even if he was never supposed to be one, he has to hold afloat a kingdom that encountered one tragedy after another.
Social hierarchy and utilitarian design
A big thing for a lot of the costumes for me was showing that I am putting thought into the social standing of each character and how they connect to others. So, the royal couple, Kreon and Eurydice, wear costumes that are very much intended to show off their social standing and wealth, even at the cost of being impractical. On the other hand, the guard and messengers wear clothes that are purely practical for their jobs (the guard wears a tough protective vest, the messengers have cloaks to protect them from the elements).
Societal expectations on women
With the women's costumes, I had the opportunity to show the way each of them deals with societal norms (for which I took influence in 50s haute couture, because that is the quintessential time when we get the housewife/ideal woman stereotype that a lot of misogynists to this day uplift). Both Eurydice and Ismene adhere with their clothes to this societal expectation for women in styles fitting for their age range. But Antigone first wears clothes that are silhouette-wise much more narrow compared to her sister Ismene's very exaggerated hourglass silhouette and the clothes are purely practical for the task she is about to do (she's going to bury her brother, so she's wearing a working shirt, a skirt that allows her free movement and combat boots). And once she is led to her death, her costume is completely free flowing, without any silhouette and almost ephemeral, as if she is already disappearing in front of our eyes into the afterlife she so values.
