Part 2: Midnight Rain
summary: you get yourself in a pickle a/n: hi! I return again! I'm sorry it's short, but I'm trying a new method of posting. Instead of aiming for a specific word count (which leads to me getting writer's block and not posting ANYTHING), I write until I'm satisfied with what I'm trying to achieve. Hopefully, I've achieved that goal, and y'all like it :) Blessed be! << Previous | Next >>
Tumblr media
You drummed your fingers against the notebook in your lap and gnawed on the top of your pen. It was late, even by your standards; the sun had long since set, and dinner eaten hours ago. But you were up, sitting in the dark in your living room, heavy rain pelting your old windows. You were trying to pull together a new lesson plan for the following day. A few curious students had started asking questions about the modern military. Like, key differences between military strategies used in the time they were studying and today. And, of course, yet again, you made promises that you were struggling to keep. And you always keep your promises to your students.
Fuck.
The internet wasn’t helping at all. You didn’t study military strategy in any of your courses. Was that even a thing?
The last thing you wanted to do was call him. You were so confident that you could solve your problem yourself, at nine o’clock. Now, it was past midnight, and you were absolutely desperate.
Fuck.
Before your tired brain can flood with guilt and change its mind, you grab your phone from your nightstand and tap into your recent calls log. Your stomach churned, anxiety bubbling up with every trill. God, it’s so fucking late to be calling. It felt like you were split in two. One half of you was praying that his phone was on silent (you know it’s not) or he’ll sleep through the ringing (he won’t), while the other–the miserable, exhausted half–needed him to pick up.
The latter won out.
“Y/N? Are you alright?”
John’s deep, sleepy voice made you feel guilty and incredibly happy that you’d woken him up. Soft and grumbly, rolling in his chest; it made you feel soft and warm inside…
Not the point of the call.
“Hi, John. I’m completely fine, I just…” You took a deep breath, the heel of your free hand pressed into one of your dry, worn-out eyes. “I know you’re this big important captain, and you have work in the morning, but I’m in a bit of a pickle and need a massive favor.”
There was a slight rustling on the other end like he had turned slightly to check the nearby time. “It’s one o’clock in the morning, love,” he mumbled.
You felt even worse. “I know, I’m sorry. Please don’t hate me,” you begged, running a hand over the top of your head. “One of my kids asked about the military. It sparked a whole discussion in class, and I may have overstated my knowledge. I barely know anything about it, and my brain is turning to mush. I’m so tired I wanna cry, and-”
He quickly cut off your rambling. “Woah, hey. Slow down there. What’s going on?” he asked, suddenly sounding much more awake. 
That brought you pause. You honestly hadn’t thought what you would ask if John actually answered the phone through. It was one o’clock in the morning, which John had correctly pointed out, and your brain wasn’t operating at full capacity. 
“I was…wondering if you could give me a lesson. Because I’m super tired, and I like to hear you talk.”
“…You do?”
“Yeah. I’ve learned a lot from you just…talking to me? But I’m a history teacher. I’m an expert on wars, not war.”
There was some shuffling on the phone. On the other line, John was leaning over the edge of his bed, searching blindly for his little pocket planner in the pile of clothes on the floor. The rustling stopped when he placed the device on his pillow, rifling through the calendar. He sniffed and was quiet for a moment, while you nibbled anxiously at your pen. Again.
The silence finally broke with a tired sniffle from John. “I can do you better. Why don’t I come to your classes tomorrow?” he asked.
You froze, pen still between your teeth. John? Coming to your school? Spending the day with your students? That would be the equivalent of introducing your boyfriend to your children. 
“…Really?”
“Sure.”
Could you even call him your boyfriend? You’d been on a few dates, sure, over the last…two months? No, it was closer to three. Had it been that long already? You did some quick math in your head. You’d gone on about one date a week, with a few canceled due to last-minute commitments. Still, about one date a week, over three months…
Holy shit.
“John, I’m sure you’re busy. I couldn’t-”
“Not at all,” he hummed, cutting you off. “Besides, it would take me ‘til class tomorrow to give you a good enough rundown, and the boss loves shite like this.”
“I thought you were the boss?”
You could practically hear a small smile tugging at John’s lips. The expression was a familiar one. The corner of his mouth quirked up, shifting his beard and creating happy wrinkles near his eyes. His nose would scrunch up a bit, too, especially if you were out in cold weather. 
“Everybody has a boss, sweetness. Myself included.”
Christ. Not the pet names. And especially not in the tired, gravelly tone his voice was currently in. John Price was going to be the death of you, even in his unfocused state.
You unfolded your legs from underneath you and moved your notebook onto the coffee table. Your resolve was fading, and you couldn’t be bothered to argue. While you did feel bad about dragging John to your school to fix the problem you created, you weren’t sure you had any other option. Accept defeat? To a group of teenagers? Absolutely not. You’d never live it down. You sighed, rubbing tiredly at your eyes. “If you’re sure…”
“I am.”
A soft smile crossed your face. “Is this just a ploy to meet my kids?”
“Maybe.”
Your sleepy giggles were like music to John’s ears. The sound alone was worth the favor. As if he wouldn’t have done it anyway, just to ease your stress. He would take any and every opportunity to make your day easier or make you happy. What he wouldn’t give to hear that laugh in person, laying beside you in your bed–
No. John’s a good man. A gentleman, he would say. A man who was perfectly capable of not acting on his urges and thoughts. At least, not in person. However, in the privacy of his own home? That was a different story.
“Thank you so much, John.”
Right. You’re still on the phone. He heard a soft click on your end of the call.
“That’d better be you closing your laptop, I’m hearing.”
“It is.”
“Good girl.” You blushed furiously. Fuck. “Get some sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Goodnight.”

my long awaited void state success story ˘ ³˘
some of y’all may know that my #1 goal when i started this blog was to finally enter the void state. i knew i could manifest without it but for some reason i felt like it was a necessity to enter that state in order to change my life entirely. i later found many other distractions and methods that made me not desire the void state as much as i did. i was able to completely change my appearance, my relationships, personality, mental health, and much more without using that method which made me completely take it off the pedestal. but recently i entered it, here’s how it went…
how did i enter? i was meditating (per usual) and the void state entered my mind for the first time in a minute. something told me “just do it” even though i have no active desires. i tried to think of at least a couple things to manifest but i couldn’t come up with some but i was still gonna do it anyway. so i just laid in the position i usually sleep in and started affirming…
- the void state is easy to enter
- i love being in the void state
- i enter the void state effortlessly
(those are the only affirmations i remember affirming).
my intention was to wake up in the void state so i just affirmed and affirmed until i fell asleep. then boom… i woke up in the void state. i knew for a fact that i was in it when i absolutely could not feel my body. i was literallyyy nothing but my mind. that was one of the main things i never understood about the void state prior to entering it: how the hell do you not feel your body at all? but it was just like i was fully relaxed and floating. moving on, i wasn’t super excited like i thought i would be, i just felt regular.. like it wasn’t new to me. maybe that’s because i’ve known about it for so long but wasn’t obsessing over it idk. also! i heard that some people see stars when they’re in that state, ian see no damn stars everything was black as shit. and it wasn’t scary at all either so stop letting fear stop you.
okay moving on fr, since i had no desires at the moment i just decided to manifest having the best manifesting skills meaning that all i have to do is affirm once and then i have it instantly. the affirmation i used was “i have mastered manifesting”. after that i just set the intention to wake up at 8am (my sleep schedule has been really fucked up for the past few weeks so when i was setting that intention to wake up at 8am i low key assumed that my sleep schedule would be fixed so i guess you can say i manifested fixing my sleep too).
of course, at 8am i woke up and everything was normal of course. you know when you just had a long ass dream that you thought was real but wake up just to realize it’s fake and you try to comprehend everything?? yeah i was starring at the wall for like 5 minutes before i actually got up lollll. i knew the void state was real but finally entering it just felt like a huge achievement. the first thing i manifested was an ice cold lemonade to be on my dresser (the ones that they sell at chinese food restaurants! blessed) and after i affirmed i literally watched it appear on my dresser! instantly! it was sooo cool i’m happy i manifested that skill cus as someone who used to be soo impatient… i very much deserve this.
i’ve gotten into the void state over 2 weeks ago (august 31st) and since then i’ve manifested much other things. i can make another post soon but for today i just wanted to share the story. it was so easy for me to get in and it can be just as easy for you too <3.

6 Months Till Summer: Your Ultimate 6 Month Glow Up Guide
As the new year unfolds, so does the countdown to summer. You might be thinking, what? This early? YES. Summer is about 6 months away at the time I’m writing this post. This is the perfect time to start thinking about what we want our summer to be like. The earlier you start, the easier it is to achieve all your summer dreams! So rather than feeling overwhelmed by last-minute transformations, let’s start working on our glow up together now.
In this post I will guide you through the next 6 months and what you can do to make sure you look and feel your best when summer arrives.
Tumblr media
We are starting off super early. At the time I’m writing this post it is still January. For years I’ve always had goals for summer but I let life pass me by and when May came around I started to panic, thinking how can I look and feel my best when summer is already knocking at my door? This year let’s say goodbye to those feelings and make place for a more empowering approach.
Tumblr media
Below is your ultimate guide for your best summer yet! <3 Each month you will be adding new habits to your daily routine. Make sure to keep doing the habits when the month ends. So all the habits you start doing 6 months before summer you will continue doing 5 months before, 4 months before, 3 months before and all the way up until summer! With each new month you will just keep adding more! It would be even more amazing if you could make them apart of your daily life forever.
Tumblr media
Action steps:
Vision Boards: Create a few vision boards to visualize your summer goals. Make them inspiring and motivating. This way you have something to reference if you feel a little lost on your summer glow up journey.
Healthy eating: Start adding more healthy, nourishing foods into your meals. More dark leafy greens, vegetables, big nourishing breakfasts. Start seeing food as your fuel, if you don’t provide your body with the right kind and amount of foods, it won’t work in your favor! Healthy food is energy, glowing skin, health and happiness
Daily Walks: Begin taking daily walks to stay active and boost your mood! You can walk in the gym or at home on a treadmill but I would really really recommend for you to take your walks outside. The fresh air does wonders for your mental well being.
Tumblr media
Reduce Greasy and Fried Foods: Cut back on ultra processed and unhealthy foods. Especially greasy and fried foods. Not only do these foods negatively impact your health, they also can cause hormonal and physical changes that can worsen your skin and complexion. We want that glowy summer skin! So cutting back on these foods early, will give you enough time to achieve that. Does this mean no more fries? Of course not. Just enjoy these foods in moderation!
Workout Routine: Find a workout routine that works for you and start incorporating it into your lifestyle. Personally I will be adding runs to my routine, Pilates and Yoga and some strength training. I like to have a variety of workouts so I don’t get bored so easily. By starting to build your routine now you can build confidence, resilience and the stamina to enjoy your summer.
Consistency: Start working on your consistency. Remember the promises you make to yourself and keep them. It’s time to let go of the “I’ll start tomorrow” mindset and start your habits today. Even if you think your whole day was a “bad day” you can still finish off strong by doing a evening yoga session for example. Think of the person you want to become and act like her.
Tumblr media
Skin Care Routine: Start your summer skin care routine. I’m sure you already have a skin care routine you do daily. Start adding products into your routine that will give you that glowy summer skin! Think about Vitamin C, Niacinamide and hydrating ingredients. Also don’t forget to wear your sunscreen daily when going outside. It’s the ultimate secret to flawless, glowy skin.
Summer Aesthetic: What will your summer aesthetic be? Obviously you look amazing the way you are now. But to me, it’s so much fun to pick a type of aesthetic for summer and dress for the occasion. For example in summer I like to grow my hair out mermaid style and do fun mermaid type hairstyles.
Posture Routine / Stretches: Begin to add a stretch / posture routine to your schedule. Personally I like to do a little yoga each morning to wake up my body. You can do a special Yoga Posture routine to really get all the benefits. Improving your posture will work wonders on your confidence, trust me.
Tumblr media
Wardrobe Refresh: Start building your wardrobe with key summer pieces! Maybe buy some new bikinis that make you feel confident. Hair accessories, new shoes, cute workout clothes. Everything that makes you feel amazing during summer and you can wear on your active summer days. Clean out your closet and look for your favorite summer clothes. This is the time to look at your visionboard and build on your summer aesthetic.
Get up Earlier: Now that the days are getting longer, let’s take advantage of the sun and get up earlier. This is a great habit to build for summer, it will make sure that you can enjoy the days and maybe even catch a sunrise. Make sure to start working on you sleep schedule. Early nights and early mornings are key. This will help you be more productive, energized and boost your mood and overall well-being.
Increase Workouts: By now you have been doing your new workout routine for 3 months already! Change some things up and level up on others. Maybe take a few longer runs, do a longer yoga workout, whatever feels good to you! It’s time to really put in the work and make yourself strong and confident. When doing this, make sure to also fuel your body accordingly! You don’t want to under eat and over train as this will hinder your progress and have you feeling dull and lifeless by the time summer comes around.
Tumblr media
Fruits, Veggies and Salads: Now that spring is here let’s eat more fresh, cooling foods to keep your body cool and hydrated. Start adding even more veggies and fruits into your meals. Make big salads, fruit salads, protein smoothies and juices. All these antioxidants and vitamins will not only make you feel great but also look great too!
Body Hygiene: With summer just around the corner and spring in full motion, it’s time to take give our bodies a little extra love. When wearing a bikini we want to feel confident, fierce and beautiful. To make sure that happens we can give our bodies a little extra care. Think of getting a laser treatment for unwanted hair, body scrubs, lymph drainage, massages, a bikini wax, a little extra body lotion. Start doing all the things to get your body ready, glowing and looking amazing for summer.
Tumblr media
Summer Prep: Start prepping for summer! Organize your wardrobe, add your favorite summer clothes and shoes. Prep your jewellery, bags and other accessories you want to wear. Get your bikinis ready, maybe buy some new ones.
Summer Body Routine: Personally in summer my body needs a little extra love. More sunscreen, more waxing (obviously lol) and I like to have a little more glow by using body lotions and scrubs. I recommend adding a weekly summer prep body routine so you always feel ready to take on the day. It’s the worst when we want to do spontaneous things and then we remember we haven’t shaved for a week. Nothing worse than a last minute shave (ouch). Also start to add cooling ingredients in your skin care routine like Aloe Vera and face masks. To keep our skin fresh and glowing.
Healthy Habits: Keep doing all the healthy habits you have done so far! Like your workout routines, daily walks, better posture etc.
I hope by the time summer comes around you are feeling the most confident you have ever felt in your life. Each time you finish a habit, feel those empowering feelings and use them to keep you motivated! All these tiny steps add up and will help you to have a massive transformation for summer.
Each month I will be going more in depth into what you can do until summer arrives with more examples and a few mini guides. For now, I hope this post has inspired you to take transform your life for the better and start working on yourself because you love yourself! <3
And remember, your summer glow up is all about making sure you have the best summer you have had so far! It’s NOT about being the skinniest or eating the healthiest foods or working out the most. It’s about you feeling amazing and comfortable in your body so you can go out and enjoy summer to the fullest!

BLLK Boys As Dads
Thank you to everyone who liked the first post! This one is part 2, which will feature Sae, Kaiser, Oliver, Bachira, and Reo
You can find part 1 here
These sweet boys are 20+ and are married to you fem/gn!reader
Warnings: Language, calling children dicks, suggestive themes
Tumblr media
Sae Itoshi
The day you went into labor was the day Sae had a game. You were in the crowd watching him when your water broke
After Sae scored a goal, he looked for you in the crowd only to find you doubled over in pain with contractions and people surrounding you trying to help
His heart DROPPED and he ran to you, his coach yelling the entire time to get back onto the field, which Sae 1,000% ignored
When he found that you were in labor he left the game entirely to rush you to the hospital
Straight up ignored all of the phone calls from his coach. You’re far more important than the game
During labor, Sae was there holding your hand helping you with the breathing
18 hours later you gave birth to identical twins
Sae pressed his forehead against yours while praising you constantly while the nurses took care of their things
Let me tell you that seeing those bbs filled his heart with joy when he saw them both in your arms, the both of you crying tears of joy
Sae 100% is nervous with holding his own children, but when he does, you swear you could see his eyes gloss over as he looked at them with absolute love and adoration
You asked one of the nurses to take a picture with your phone of Sae as he spoke to your children, introducing himself and telling them how beautiful they are
You sent that photo to his coach with an apology and his coach immediately understood. They still won the game
Once the three of you came home, Sae took care of one while you cared for the other. One baby is hungry and the other needs a diaper change? He’s on it. Time to switch? He’s on it.
He even wakes up with you when they wake up in the middle of the night. Once he gets used to taking care of them, he tells you to go back to sleep cuz he’s 100% got it
He forgets about the baby monitor and you listen to everything, his soothing voice as he talks to them, praises of love and it just makes you MELT
He’s there for all of the milestones. He refuses to be anywhere but home for them
As they grow, of course the three of you go to every game as Sae argues the three of you are his lucky charms so away games, home games, you’re there
Bless these children they look like carbon copies of Sae and they absolutely ADORE him
Everyone sees Sae as this emotionless man but the moment the game is over and your children run to him, his expression does a complete 180 and he’s all smiles as his children run to his arms
Your children grow to be as athletic as he is, but only one is interested in football, which he’s more than happy to help teach, while the other wants to play volleyball, which is your forte (a/n it’s my favorite sport to play I miss it so much)
Sae. never. misses. a. game. 👏🏻 During the times he flies overseas, he has you FaceTime him so he can be there even when he’s not there physically
And guess who’s in their life? Their favorite Uncle Rin!
Sae’s not bothered by this at all. In fact, he wants Rin to be in their lives. Rin even teaches your football child some new moves
He’s also there for games, just the ones he can go to
The twins are super close to Sae’s teammates, but Sae is their favorite football player
He’s a proud papa and full of praises when his children play their games and achieve so much in their life ❤️
Michael Kaiser
Let me tell you something about this man
He may see himself as the emperor with such a high self esteem, but this man literally worships the ground you walk on
Every night when he comes home, he cuddles in your lap with his head resting on your growing stomach ever since you both found you were pregnant. It’s his favorite spot and absolutely LOVES it when you run your fingers through his hair
So when it was go time, he was ready with your bags and everything
Literally princess carries you to the car even when you protest that he’ll get dirty this man don’t care
He gets you to the hospital in no time flat. Man drives like he’s on the Autobahn the entire way
How he doesn’t get pulled over is a mystery
He wants to witness the miracle of childbirth so he’s there holding up on leg and watching the entire thing while excitedly telling you what’s happening almost like you can’t feel the entire thing because unfortunately for you, you were ready to push once you got into the bed
The entire labor lasted 2 hours and your baby was born with his blonde hair
Kaiser was the first to hold your child and he’s just tears
He kisses the two of you on your head while praising and thanking you
While he was annoying during labor, your heart melted nonetheless that he was so excited the entire pregnancy and birth and you just fell in love with him all over again
Once you’re home, he’s insistent that he does EVERYTHING because he truly wants to
Of course when you argue that he needs his rest for practice and games, he thinks about it and agrees with you, so he’s more than happy to share the responsibility
He is the literal cutest dad and he’s there for every milestone
Melted when his child said “dada”, even if it was their second word (first was amma, which is what his mother is called instead of grandma)
She is OBSESSED with her grandchild
She’s so in love with Kaiser’s little family in fact, as soon as Kaiser chose you to spend the rest of his life with, she was completely on board because she knew you were different from other women
He’s insistent that you don’t have to be at every one of his games but he’ll always look for you in the crowd
And there you are with your growing child, with them wearing his jersey and let me tell you, when he sees you both, his heart is so full of joy and love that it takes everything he can to not immediately run to you both
Except he actually does
His body moved on its own and before he knew it, the two of you were in his arms
His coach was yelling the entire time and you flicked Kaiser’s forehead
“What are you doing running out of an ongoing game?!” “Mein liebe! I didn’t mean to!”
Pouts the rest of the game both because of his own action and because you flicked his forehead
Once the game is over, he trudges up to you, still pouting
Seeing how pathetic he looks, you kiss his cheek and apologize (part just because he’s being annoying and part because you actually do feel bad when he was just so happy to see you two)
Your child makes it even better by wanting to be held by Kaiser and it just makes him so happy
Of course the paparazzi has photos of Kaiser speeding to you guys and hugging you, which appear in articles
Kaiser literally gives 0 fucks because he’s proud of his family
As your child grows, they’re a perfect combination of the two of you with Kaiser’s hair and eye shape but with your eyes and nose, which are Kaiser’s favorite parts of your face
And boy let me tell you this child has the self esteem of a god being the child of Kaiser
And he encourages it because he has the same self esteem. As much as you’ve tried, Kaiser’s genes just push through
Unlike Kaiser, your child prefers singing compared to football and let me tell you this. child. can. SING.
Even though your child won’t walk down the same path as Kaiser, he’s not upset in the slightest. In fact, he’s incredibly proud and supportive
Hires the best vocal teachers to help your child continue to grow with their vocals and even hires the best guitar teacher when they expressed that they wanted to learn guitar
This child ends up growing up to look GORGEOUS and uses the same red eyeliner as Kaiser does
Of course Kaiser wants another one to which you happily oblige because he’s such a good father
And he loves your second child just as much as the first
Oliver Aiku
When Oliver heard you were pregnant, he was estatic
While he was a playboy, he settled down the day he fell in love with you and it shocked you to no end because you knew he was a playboy
Anyway back to dad!Oliver
Thankfully you were both at home when your water broke so Oliver had it all taken care of. He was so calm while he grabbed the bags and helped you into the car
While you were getting contractions in the car, Oliver helped you practice the breathing you both learned in parenting class
Unfortunately there was a huge traffic accident that stopped all traffic so Oliver ended up pulling over and you had no choice but to give birth there
A few EMTs even came by to assist and Oliver was the one who delivered the baby
As soon as the baby was born, Oliver used his own shirt to wrap them in
Even covered in blood and afterbirth, Oliver thought they were the most beautiful being on this planet besides you
The EMTs ended up calling another ambulance to take you both to the hospital, the entire time Oliver was praising you. You’re his literal hero
Once settled into the hospital, Oliver peppered you with kisses
He would sleep next to you in the bed
There were a few complications so the baby had to stay in the NICU and Oliver literally did not leave your side
Thankfully after 2 days everything was fine and you both were able to leave the hospital
Oliver insisted on doing everything for you so that you could heal and because he genuinely wants to help take care of the baby
But when it came to feeding time, Oliver happily cuddled against you while leaning his head against yours as he watches your child feed
Literally cried when your child held his finger for the first time while you were feeding them
He did end up missing some big milestones but was still ecstatic to receive videos while he was overseas
Video chatted with you every chance he could
You didn’t even have to worry about his eyes wandering because they were only on your child
You became a little jealous but he always made sure to never keep his attention away from you
During interviews, he boasted every chance he could about the two of you and even showed photos of your child
Like Rin, Oliver posted his social media of pictures of the three of you
The one thing your child did not receive from Oliver was his heterochromatic eyes which honestly eased his worries because he didn’t want to subject his child to bullying kids are dicks
But damn other moms be complimenting on how gorgeous your child and husband is
Literally is a carbon copy of their father they might as well have just detached like cells from Oliver from their looks to their personality and to their absolute love for you
Oliver will have to figuratively fist fight his child for your attention
So once your child goes to sleep at night is when Oliver attacks
The amount of times this child has cockblocked Oliver has enough to force someone to babysit while he takes you out with which you’ll end up at a hotel
But seriously, Oliver is also a devoted father. He loves his mini-me so much
Takes them to practice and that’s where they discovered their love for football
Oliver cries when he finds out he’s not his child’s favorite player: it’s Sendo
This child unknowingly set up the biggest rivalry in Oliver’s soul and poor Sendo
So when Oliver offers to teach your child football, the lack of seconds it takes for your child to say no they want Sendo to teach them broke something inside Oliver’s soul
He ended up whining as he hugged you from behind while you’re cooking dinner
Give this poor man some love sweet child
After giving Oliver advice, he joined in on the training and fully bonded with your child
But he’s still not their favorite
It’s ok though because he’s your favorite player in Ubers and when your child starts playing in school, they’re both of your favorite
But Oliver won’t admit it to they’re face because he’s so petty about Sendo so he’ll literally tell them some random kid is his favorite
And because they are Oliver’s child, they’ll have the same reaction
You’re starting to get sick of this petty family
Bachira Meguru
You know this little ball of sunshine and nightmares when he’s on the field
The moment he found out about your pregnancy, he almost leapt into your arms out of joy and thankfully he did not because he didn’t want to hurt “babyichi”
Literally has contemplated naming your child this
Seriously
He’s such a kind and devoted husband to you like you literally don’t even have to lift a finger
Cravings hit you at 4am? My man got you he is up and already running out the door
Just like Kaiser, Bachira’s favorite spot is in your lap with his arms around your waist while he uses your growing stomach like a pillow
And he just talks to the baby telling them about his day and how he’s so excited to meet their “babyichi”
You’ve accepted this nickname
Once your water broke, Bachira was both parts excited and nervous while bouncing off the walls
Just like with Kaiser, he wants to be up front and personal with your lower region
Nothing can phase this man because his eyes are literally sparkling
“It stretches that big?! Wow!” “(Y/N) you’re amazing!” praises are thrown own
But he also praises you for how hard you’re working because he can see how much pain you’re in and he comes up to kiss your tears away
He’s not just there for the childbirth, he’s there to support you
As soon as your child is born, they’re born with a little tuff of brown and blonde hair and Bachira just MELTS
“Hey hey look (Y/N)! He/she has my hair!” The smile that stretched across your face seeing Bachira’s expression just so gentle and full of love was unreal
He video called literally everyone he knew to show your new bundle of joy for everything. EVERYTHING
First bath? Video call. First diaper change? Video call. First feeding? Attempted video call because you didn’t want to show your breasts to everyone he knows
He pouted like there’s no tomorrow because he just wants to share the happiness
But that didn’t last long because you were talking about family photos with his mom when she visited
Bachira pulled his phone out and asked his mom to take your first family photo which she was more than happy to do
Thankfully you had the time to shower before she visited so you were presentable
After the cutest family photo was taken, he set it as his lock screen
Now let me tell you that this man will bend over backwards (when you said this phrase he literally tried bless his heart the sweetie) to make sure you and babyichi are taken care of and are resting
And when he’s away, he has his mom check on you not because he doesn’t trust you but because he’s worried about the two of you and not being around causes him to worry
Literally will overthink the worst possible scenarios like a burglary, accident, anything so he’s always asking his mom to check when he’s away for games
As your child grows, they’re just. like. Bachira from energy to looks
So you have two hyperactive babes on the loose please help this poor mother’s soul
But you wouldn’t change that for anything
Bachira is the type who will do football tricks to make his own child laugh and his favorite game is the ‘What Is This Face?’ game he played in Blue Lock
Your child eats those faces up
As they get older, it’s their favorite game to play
Remember those football tricks? Your child wants to learn those too and this is how they learned their love for the sport
When you take your child to games, Bachira has a habit of showing off and your child continues to eat it all up
Bachira is their absolute favorite player and of course they want to learn every move
Their specialty? Dribbling
When you watch Bachira and your child play together, your heart just melts, especially knowing how he grew up
Ofc grandma comes and visits often and when she sees her son and grandchild playing, she has the same feeling
Bachira’s heart is so full of love from being a father that he begs for another child
Can you handle a 3rd Bachira?
Of course you can! You plan for your 2nd child immediately
Reo Mikage
Let me tell you this man weeped when he found out you were pregnant
For hours
Days even
Ok maybe not days but it felt like it to you
First person he called? Nagi
He even wept on the phone to Nagi. Nagi immediately hung up once Reo started crying
He hasn’t cried this much since your wedding day
Nagi was done with him even then but he was best man and was honestly too lazy to leave
The first thing Reo does in the morning is hug and kiss both you and your stomach. As well as when he leaves. And comes home. And is the last thing he does every day for the entire pregnancy
It melts your heart every time
Reo comes home from every away game with a mass amount of baby things and you have to literally have him call you to tell him to stop because the baby has enough things
Unfortunately, the day you went into labor, he was overseas and in the middle of a game
Once the game was over with their win, he checks his phone to see a call and text from you to tell him you went into labor and his. heart. SANK
He immediately FaceTimes you to apologize and check on you as he’s speeding to the airport in a taxi
By that time you had already given birth
It’s the one thing he regrets to this day
He ended up taking the next flight out and couldn’t make it to the hospital until 2 days later, which was the same day you could leave
Reo had his driver take the three of you home so that he could make up for everything he missed like holding his new baby for the first time
Reo kept crying and apologizing to you for not being there
It took so much to calm him down because you knew this could be a possibility and you’re not upset with him at all
He’s upset with himself and you understood this as well so you distract him with holding your baby once you got home
And let me tell you, that just made him cry more because he was just so happy
You didn’t even know this man could cry so much when you first met please send help
But you know this comes from the absolute love for his family so all you needed to do was hold him with one hand while your baby held your finger as they slept
Once you get home, Reo carries the car seat while you held onto his hand to go up the stairs to the elevator
As soon as you’re in the comfort of your own home, Reo sits you down and places the car seat in front of you so you could show him how to hold your newborn
Poor guy was so nervous, but as soon as he held them, his eyes widened with complete adoration
This child has Reo’s eyebrows
They’re a bald baby so the hair color is unclear but Reo sees this child as nothing less than beautiful because they were a combination of the two of you
Reo looks at you while grinning with tears in his eyes singing nothing but praises and thanks to you for making him a father
Little did he know you were taking photos of him and your child and sending them to his mother
She visited you a day before Reo flew in and it was almost as if she became the same woman Reo remembered in his childhood. She asked to keep it a secret because Reo and his family were still estranged
You also made your favorite photo your lock screen
Unfortunate for Reo’s team but after missing the birth of his own child he wasn’t missing anything else and ended up taking a break from football to be there for all of the milestones
Financially, he didn’t need it and Nagi still came over to keep Reo updated with everything happening as well as practices
Nagi absolutely adores your child
Sometimes you’ll find Nagi dozing off with them sleeping on him and you’ll catch Reo already taking pictures
But Reo does the same thing
When he learned about skinship, that was the only way he would hold his child
So there would be times where Reo would be napping with your child on his chest and you ended up using this as your new lock screen
Of course you’d also send it to Reo’s mom, who was so happy with knowing Reo is a loving and devoted father, which was something he strived to be in order to not provide the same childhood Reo had
In fact, the day he found out you sent pictures and updates to his mom, he was furious. Not with you, but his own mother to make you keep this a secret
You had to calm him and take fair share of the blame while explaining that his mom genuinely wants to be there for her grandchild
For the first time since he left home, he contacted his mother and invited her over. Just her
What you witnessed afterwards was a breakthrough in their relationship because again, Reo did not want to be like his father so after this, she was around more often
Once the child was a bit older, Reo went back to play football, which his mother supported
The three of you went to every single game of Reo’s
You end up finding out that Reo’s mom had watched every game since Reo went pro but this was her first time going to a game
You end up wearing Reo’s jersey number and surprised your husband with your child wearing it too
Reo’s heart was so full of love and adoration for his family that he and Nagi were unbeatable
After the game, he met up with the three of you and your mother sang nothing but praises
But guess what? There was one more secret
You were pregnant again
This time, he didn’t miss the birth since it fell outside of football season and his coach granted the last week off for him
This man still wept so much during labor and holding his newborn
As both children grew, the oldest resembled you and the youngest resembled Reo
The three of them would always play football together along with Uncle Nagi
And it was what they wanted to be growing up, just like their dad and uncle
Their favorite players? Reo and Nagi, of course, especially with their dynamic
At one point they asked why you didn’t play sports and your soul broke a bit when you said unlike their father and uncle, you weren’t a genius
Literally all four of them comforted you (Nagi because he felt left out)

Heartsteel love language headcanon (Giving and Receiving)
Inspiration: I was thinking about this because we were discussing the idea in the book club I’m a part of. So I thought about me and that led me to think about what Heartsteel’s love languages would be!
Champions: Heartsteel
Genre: Headcanon
Type: FLUFF
Gender: Gender Neutral Reader!
TW: None!
Tumblr media
Aphelios
Giving: Words of Affirmation
Now some of you might be giving me side-eye, but hear me out. This is both verbal and non-verbal.
We know he canonically can speak, just not loudly and he doesn’t talk super often. Now I still believe he’d primarily communicate in a way that’s non-verbal, such as sign language, in order to not overwork his vocal cords.
Because of this, anytime Aphelios speaks, you want to fucking listen to him. When he says something, you know it’s something important. He doesn’t waste his voice on just anything. It’s too precious for that.
But lucky you, he never finds talking to you a waste. He loves using what voice he does have to give you all the lovely affirmations/compliments you could ever ask for. He will make sure his love for you is known.
And he doesn’t have to use his voice either. You will absolutely get random texts throughout the day, or find sweet little notes in your pocket/bag. Any card you receive as part of a gift or something just has such sweet words written in it. I can also see Phel leaving notes on your mirror (either in dry erase or on a post-it) to make you smile.
The biggest hype man when you meet your goals/achieve something you’ve been working hard towards. And he’s genuinely excited about it too. He’s really so happy for and proud of you and he makes sure you’re aware of that. Phel always just wants to make you smile and let you know, despite his busy and bizzare schedule, he loves you very much and you’re extremely important to him.
Receiving: Quality time
Aphelios loves when you and him have some alone time together. In the hustle and bustle of being a member of an extremely popular group, his mind can get really chaotic. But then he sees you and it’s like a switch gets flipped.
You calm him down like no one else can. You don’t even have to do or say anything specifically. Phel is a big fan of companionable silence (big same, my guy) and of “being alone together” with you (if that makes sense.) Though of course he is also a big fan of you cuddling him and chatting about whatever.
Sometimes you’ll bring work over to his studio and work on that while he’s writing/recording his compositions. You always make sure to bring snacks/meals and caffeine for him and he always stops to enjoy the food with you and listen as you talk about your day. You’re one of the few people who can easily pull him away from work no matter what.
When both of you get back to work, you may barely say a word to each other, but it doesn’t matter at all.
He’s more productive when you’re with him in his studio and he also takes better care of himself. You’ve received texts from Alune and calls from Yone asking you to just move into his studio permanently. (Of course they’re joking, but they do love the positive influence you have on Aphelios, his music, and his well-being.)
He just loves being in your presence, knowing you could be anywhere in the world if you wanted to be, but here you are, with him, loving him. It makes his heart really happy and light.
Ezreal
Giving: Physical Touch
I feel this is one of the more obvious ones, but Heartsteel Ezreal just gives off the vibes of someone who is very physically affectionate.
That’s not a bad thing. He’s just absolutely the type to come up behind you and give you a hug and nuzzle your neck. This won’t be any surprise though. His love of physical affection is demonstrated early on in your relationship through linked pinkies or a hand always on you in some way.
Dare I say, clingy (in a good way though). He just loves touching you. Doesn’t matter if he’s working, he can get creative. Like he’s absolutely flashed in front of you during a concert to give you a wink and get a high-five. Ezreal loves how pink your cheeks get and how wide you smile at him. (Ideally he’d love to give you more attention but he knows Alune and Yone would kill him if he got too extra.)
You’ve received post-show texts from Kayn that say something along the lines of: “For fuck’s sake, (Y/N), can you please get back here already so your puppy can finally give you the “proper amount of attention” he’s spent the past 15 minutes rambling about? I’m about to tape his mouth shut so I don’t vomit.” (He’s 95% joking. All of Heartsteel loves how happy you make Ezreal, but they can only handle so much post-show adrenaline-filled gushing.)
Him having that physical connection with you is his primary way of letting you know he’s there for you and that you’re important to him. When you’re with him, the two of you are always touching some way some how. As I said, some of his favs are linked hands/fingers. He also loves having his arm(s) around you or his head on your shoulder/lap.
It really doesn’t matter though. All that matters is that he feels you next to him.
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
I feel like Ez is the type of guy who definitely wants to hear you say you love him as often as possible. He will never get tired of hearing you say those words to him.
I do think some of this stems from his past. Having spent time in the public eye for such a long time, and unfortunately being heavily critiqued after he failed to follow up his first solo hit with success, that’s made him doubt himself and his abilities at times.
Imposter syndrome can really be a bitch (I know it well). Unfortunately, it’s made moments in his life difficult, especially since this original scrutiny happened when he was younger, during a critical developmental period for someone growing up. (Ezreal is only in his like early-early mid twenties, y’all. Shit happening during/before that can really leave an impact.)
Hearing you say how proud you are of him, or even if you just compliment him on something small (like the watch he chose to wear for the day or how good his hair looks), well that means everything to him.
You love how his face lights up whenever you compliment him or tell him something sweet. His adorable crooked smile is like concentrated sunshine.
One of your favorite things to do is leave sticky notes on his mirror that just say sweet things like “I love you, Ez!” Or “Looking good, handsome!” He always makes sure to take a selfie with each post it note when you do because he loves seeing them as much as you love putting them up there. It’s your favorite part of the day, getting your daily selfie from him with your note in it.
One time Alune told you the story of how Ezreal turned into a fountain of tears and wouldn’t stop talking about how much he loved you when you had flowers and a really sappy note (detailing how much you love him, how proud you are of him, how you’ve always believed in him/his talent, and thanking him for allowing you the honor to be by his side and support him through this amazing journey) delivered to him before Heartsteel’s first concert. He has the original card framed and he takes a copy of the note with him when he goes on trips. He reads your words before every single performance as part of his pre-show ritual.
Kayn
Giving: Physical Touch (TBH I feel like touch is just very slightly over words of affirmation for Kayn. At least for giving.)
You know what, I think Kayn is similar to Ez a little bit. Just another member who I can see being physically affectionate with his partner.
HOWEVER, I think how Kayn expresses his physical affection is different than Ezreal. Unlike Ezreal who I see as being very overt with physical affection, I see Kayn as someone who is just slightly more low-key.
Now that’s not to say he’s not going to express that in public. He absolutely will. But with Kayn I see more: hand in your back pocket while you’re in line, hand on your thigh if he drives (he’s figured out that’s the only way you’ll tolerate his driving), arm sliding around your waist whenever he steps next to you, hand slowly slipping into yours.
The sort of touches that leave you blushing and biting your lip. The ones that leave you a little breathless. (Not saying Ez can’t do those. I fully believe he can. But there’s just really something about Kayn’s punk/bad boy energy that has me like…😳 and 😏 at the same time.)
He’s a BIG fan of kissing. Like you cannot convince me otherwise. Like yeah his hands can do some of the talking, but kissing you is his favorite way to show he loves you.
(Lord help me I could do a whole headcanon for Kayn kisses alone, I feel like. I have THOUGHTS.) Anytime you want a kiss, you get a kiss, no questions asked. And the way he kisses you indicates a lot for how he’s feeling.
Sleepy Kayn? Forehead, nose, cheek kisses (shhhhhhh he has a soft side. Don’t tell anyone). Needy Kayn? He’s either kissing you completely breathless or he’s leaving hickeys somewhere on you. Otherwise, even if he’s just walking past you to get to another room, he will always stop to give you a kiss hello. And even those sweet quick kisses hello leave you feeling just LOVELY.
Receiving: Words of Affirmation (again I was between this and physical touch, but unlike giving where physical touch wins, I think receiving, words of affirmation win.)
Again, similar to Ez, I think a lot of this stems from his pre-Heartsteel past. Kayn got kicked out of his old band and got a not-great reputation in the media. Like there’s no denying that sucks and that sort of criticism can really fuck with a person’s mind.
So when you compliment him, you say you’re really proud of him, or when you tell him how great he was after a show, he eats that shit up with a SPOON.
And Kayn might try to play it off as not a big deal, but every time you tell him you love him, you can’t help but notice how happy and content he looks. As if all is right with the world. (Listen this might be a tad cheesy but let this rockstar get some genuine fucking love and praise here please.)
I’ve mentioned before in my pet names headcanon (HERE) that I think some pet names really mean something to Kayn. Like when he calls you sexy (ex: “Hey, sexy, how was work?”) it’s his way of affirming to you that he finds you sexy. Same if he calls you beautiful or hottie or whatever.
So when YOU call HIM those sorts of pet names, it means something to him. He takes it as affirmation you still find him to be sexy/handsome/etc… Also let’s be real, the man put in work to get the body he has. You can feed his ego a bit on this.
Another one who secretly keeps any cards or notes you give him. If he’s ever feeling bad about himself or really nervous and he can’t talk to you, he’ll start reading through his stash and it always helps. Knowing you love him and believe in him really shoves the demons away.
Though let’s be real here, nothing compares to hearing you say sweet things to him in person (or over the phone).
K’Sante
(The number of times I changed my mind on his love languages omfg. We’ll talk a little more about receiving first in this one)
Giving and receiving: Words of affirmation
A lot of this has to do with K’Sante’s pre-Heartsteel backstory, as well as his base-lore character. (I know this is for HS K’Sante, but they kept some traits from his base character [The Pride of Nazumah] that I think really feed into this.)
K’Sante is a very proud man. He’s a very ambitious man. It doesn’t matter whether that pertains to music, to fashion, to design, to fitness, etc. whatever he’s doing, he puts his all into it.
And when you put your all into something, naturally there’s some desire for someone to acknowledge the effort you put in, as well as appreciate the result of all that effort. And while he gets that from the fans, the media, other places, none of that approval means more to him than your approval.
He feels your love whenever you tell him how handsome he looks in the new design he brought to life or text him about a photo in the media and compliment him. Whenever you’re the first one to notice when he’s changed his hair. Whenever you cheer him on as he’s doing reps. Whenever you comment on how amazing his part of their new song is.
Hearing/reading (for texts) your pride in, support for, and love for him allows him to stay ambitious and to keep driving for more and he’s so grateful for you. He definitely realizes outside of HS, you are what helps keep things steady.
And while you are super proud of him, he’s ALSO super proud of you and he’s definitely not afraid to let you know that.
I feel like it’s very difficult to have low self-esteem regarding your looks when you’re with him. K’Sante will compliment you out the wazoo. When you look fine he’s making sure you know you look fine (which to him is always). I also feel like he’d use you as a muse for his designs, which is like a massive compliment.
And if you’re nervous about something, K’Sante is such an excellent hype man. He’s reminding you why you are so amazing and that your personal strengths are perfect to get you through whatever is being thrown at you.
Along the same vein, I feel like K’Sante would be the best person to go to for advice. He seems extremely thoughtful with what he says and I feel like he knows exactly what to say to make you feel better about things. (I mean shit we know other members already go to him for advice, he’d absolutely give you, his partner, advice as well.)
And when you achieve something? He is celebrating as much as if he accomplished it himself. He’s very proud of you. “What did I tell you, baby! I knew you could do it!”
Definitely brags about you and your achievements, at least to Heartsteel. He’s just so fucking proud of you and he can’t keep that to himself! That’s a disservice to you! I feel like he’d at least ask and make sure he could tell other people about your achievement though.
(Hehehe this makes me imagine: You know he’s been bragging about you again because you receive random texts from the other members congratulating you on something you’ve recently accomplished.)
This big guy is just a man who really enjoys telling you he loves you (as well as what he loves about you) and loves to hear you say it back (as well as what you love about him).
Sett
Giving and receiving: Acts of Service
A lot of this stems from being raised by a single mother after his father just up and left (shoutout to the single parents out there. Y’all are incredible). Sett would do anything to try and make Ma’s life easier. We know he’s the best cook of the group and I bet he learned how to cook pretty early on.
I imagine Sett also quickly learned sewing and other household tasks for the same reason. It just hurt him to see his mother so damn tired and stressed after working multiple jobs to try and make ends meet. He wanted to do what he could to help. That desire to make things easier for the people he loves hasn’t gone away as he’s grown up. If anything, it’s gotten stronger. (God damn Ma raised him so well 😭.) He shows this type of love in many different forms, starting with simple ways. He’ll always open the door/car door for you. He’ll walk on the side closer to the street. Always offers an arm to you when going down stairs. He’s happy to carry any bags for you.
Of course Sett just as easily does more in-depth acts of service. Mending clothes you love that you thought couldn’t be fixed. (God I love Sett loving to sew.) Happily teaching you to sew when you ask him. Cooking dinner whenever he can (he loves trying out new things, but even more so, he loves showing you the meals of his childhood). Ma always cooks with lots of love and that’s a quality she passed down to her son. He also loves spoiling you through his actions (think surprise bubble baths/face masks/massages/etc.) just because he wants to and he thinks you deserve to be spoiled.
Sett would literally run through a brick wall if it would make your life easier in the short and long run. You make him so happy. He loves you so much and making sure you’re happy and well taken care of is the least he can do, in his mind.
On the receiving end of things, anything you do for him, whether small or big, Sett appreciates more than you know. Whether it’s bandaging his knuckles after a particularly intense bout with a punching bag or making sure his keys and water bottle are in their proper spot by the door so he doesn’t forget them, these seemingly small things mean the world to him.
And when you do “bigger things” like fix his sewing machine that he hasn’t had time to take to the repairman, or reseason his cast-iron cookware? You’ve got Sett ready to propose on the god damn spot. You organized his spare fabric swatches by color and it was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen (besides you). He would not stop thanking you for the rest of the week.
When you make dinner and prep a plate for him to heat up once he gets home really late from a long day? It doesn’t matter if he’s the better cook, to him, this is the best meal he’s ever tasted. And when you stay awake late and help him into a warm bath/shower? It’s adorable to see your massive and jacked boyfriend turn into putty under your gentle ministrations. He especially loves when you wash his hair and play with his ears.
Along the same vein, he loves when you come greet him after a bout of boxing with his little medical bag. You always look him over carefully, running a quick concussion check, cleaning anything that needs to be cleaned, and wrapping anything that needs to be wrapped. He’s so appreciative he doesn’t even flinch when you’re cleaning out a cut with antiseptic.
You really know how to love him so well and he’s ready to receive ALL OF IT and love you back the same way.
Yone
Giving and receiving: Acts of service
Yone is another member who I think both gives and receives love the same way and that is through acts of service.
Whenever you bring him a meal or coffee, or just drag him away from his monitors for a brain break, that’s when he feels your love the most. When you bring food he appreciates anything you bring him, but the stuff he finds the most delicious are the things you make yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re not the best chef.
Something that’s small but he really really loves is when you brush out and braid/play with his hair. Besides a hair stylist, you’re the only one he lets touch his hair.
He knows it’s not easy to love him considering his profession, so the fact you take the time and do these things for him? You take the time to make his life easier? Well it makes him melt tbh. (You are one of the very few lucky souls who gets to see soft Yone. You lucky fucking duck.)
His schedule is wacky, he’s often stressed due to deadlines, and his celebrity status makes date nights or just walking around in public a difficult adventure sometimes.
And because Yone knows being in a relationship with someone of his profession and status is difficult, he really tries to make it up to you and return your acts of service with his own, just to show you you’re always on his mind and that he really he loves you too, even if he can’t always be there to show you.
For example Yone always keeps things neat and tidy (a dream really) and he knows you well enough (I mean duh) that he knows where everything of yours goes, so you’re never shocked when you find your shared bedroom and bathroom perfectly clean and all your things exactly in their spots. You only wonder when he had the time?? (He just chuckles when you ask him.)
Whenever he’s not stuck at work, he’s incredibly sweet and helpful, doing all sorts of little things that just make day-to-day life so much easier.
You wake up after Yone and like coffee? Every morning he makes sure the maker is programmed to have a cup ready for you when you wake up. You cooked? Great! He’s got dishes no problem. You decide to clean a room? He’s either helping you do it or hey, pick any other room for him and he’ll clean that one.
And this doesn’t just stop at like day-to-day living things. If you come home stressed, before you know it you’re sitting in front of him, fresh out a steaming bubble bath, while he massages your shoulders/back and listens to you ramble about what has you so tense. His definition of acts of service definitely include things that spoil you.
Why do I feel like he makes a surprisingly good breakfast? I think he’d enjoy making a whole breakfast in bed meal for you, especially on a birthday or anniversary, but also sometimes just because he wants to surprise you.
Yone’s definitely a gentleman whose actions speak far louder than any words he could ever say.

Hiii. Not sure if this even counts as a question to be fair, nor is this a funny suggestion, but like.
For my final project in college I'm kind of making a game concept about plurality (as a system host myself) and uhm long story short I guess.
I made two characters-alters, one of which is female and the other is male, and the teacher who curates my project was like (super paraphrased) "I'm getting some romantic connotations here and I think we shouldn't show people that you can literally date yourself, cuz that seems super unhealthy" and he then backed down a bit and was like "well it's not really normal so maybe think about that some more".
And so like. The concept I'm making is based on the complicated relationship between me and my co-host. I am heavily basing the characters on me and that co-host, I am heavily using the issues we had in our relationship, to hopefully be able to show people who are new to plurality that you shouldn't treat your alters the way me and my co-host treated each other before, because THAT is what was unhealthy.
All of which is to say, right now I am married to that co-host and I'm very happy about that, but my teacher's words quite hurt me. Like I literally don't even understand what could be so unhealthy about in-system dating. How rare even is that? Is my perception of in-system dating just that skewed, since nearly all our alters are in a relationship with each other? Most importantly, am I faki-
(Also, by saying that, the teacher inadvertently recommended me to make it a gay ship. Lol? I wish I could make one of the characters an enby like me and avoid the issue entirely, but I can't) (My husband The Co-Host said that the teacher is just rude)
There's nothing inherently unhealthy about intrasystem dating. I've found most people who claim it's "unhealthy" actually mean "I find it weird and I can't distinguish between my personal discomfort and something that's actually bad." – a frustrating argument, but one we're familiar with, and one that should largely be ignored unless you're looking to engage in an educational discussion with someone who holds this view. Others claim it is unhealthy because it "encourages division/dissociation between headmates", but this is largely based on the idea that headmates having any sort of personal identity or self-identification gets in the way of achieving final fusion, which has its own flaws as an argument, including final fusion not being the goal or healthiest option for all systems, as well as ignoring that [harmful] dissociation may increase if a headmate does not have any sort of personal identity to distinguish themselves from the rest of their system with. In short, the arguments against intrasystem dating tend to boil down to "I think this is bad for you because it doesn't fit into what I think people should do", which only shows one's own close-mindedness.
Since plurality is an unfamiliar concept to most people, they don't have the experience necessary to distinguish between genuine red flags and something niche that just takes time to get used to the idea of. Intrasystem dating is niche, but it's no more inherently unhealthy than other kinds of niche dating, like t4t partnerships. The same argument has been used against polyamorous relationships for being similarly uncommon and going against what people expect of relationships (particularly romantic ones), but those are not inherently unhealthy either; it goes to show that people will reuse the same arguments against any kind of relationship they do not approve of, rather than taking a step back and considering for themselves if a particular relationship dynamic is inherently unhealthy. While intrasystem dating can be unhealthy, it is not inherently so just due to the relationship dynamic.
When backing down, your teacher said intrasystem dating is "not really normal", and that truly is the crux of this argument. People do not like that which does not fall neatly into their understandings of "normal", and think anything that isn't normal is automatically bad. This is untrue. I would say to hold strong to your original vision for your project, not just for yourself/ves, but because refusing to fall in line and pretend to be "normal" is how we achieve progress. Even if your teacher doesn't change his mind, your work may introduce the concept to someone else, making it less unfamiliar (more familiar) and more normal to them, leading to more people understanding and accepting not just systems in general, but intrasystem dating specifically.
Speaking of, to answer your question, while intrasystem dating is uncommon, I don't believe it's especially rare – I could name several of our headmates right now who are in a polyamorous partnership with each other, as well as a handful of other couples. We've known many other systems who have had some or all headmates dating each other. It's not the most common topic to talk about in the community, but it is certainly a topic frequent enough to be brought up from time to time.
Your teacher was rude and incorrect. I have sympathy for the hurt you feel because of his pluralphobic words, and I hope you're able to feel better about this incident soon. Remember, staying true to yourself will almost always feel better than hiding who you are for the comfort of others, so if you feel safe enough to go for it, push onward and continue your work with all its authenticity and intrasystem dating included. I wish you luck in your game development and your final project!

Asteroid Abundantia (151)
“Lady Luck”💫
Abundantia is the Roman goddess associated with abundance and good fortune. Abundantia was associated with the cornucopia as well and would fill them with grain and coins for mortals. In this post, I will discuss how and where abundance can be expressed and experienced for you, and hopefully with this knowledge you can bring it into the new year. 🥂
💫Happy New Year, may you be met with blessings and abundance in all areas of your life💫
*Updated FAQ if interested (pinned post)💖
Tumblr media
Aries/1H/Mars aspects - You may feel most abundant when you are directly going after your goals and when you are determined. Abundance for you is exciting and it can be experienced as joy.

Begin by integrating your darker aspects and living out your deepest passions.
Sagittarius/9H/Jupiter - You are most abundant when you are putting yourself out there. This energy can attract a lot of attention actually and people may be inspired by your perspectives on life.

Aquarius/11H/Uranus - You are abundant with friendships and attracting support from others. You can be quite eccentric especially if this is prominent for you.
You are most abundant when you are expressing your individuality. Your originality is where you are truly blessed and you can be an inspiration for others. Your gravitational pull is amazing and you are great at pulling others into your orbit.
Pisces/12H/Neptune - You are blessed with an intuitive and understanding nature. You may have a spiritual nature too and be in tune with the metaphysical world. Your manifestation abilities can be particularly strong as well. You are a kind of chameleon in a way and able to tap into this energy when needed and your ability to adapt is wonderful.

☁️ 2024 Artist Resolutions ☁️
Happy New Year, everyone! 🌻
Just sharing my annual artist resolutions (this is my 3rd year doing this, I think?):
colors & palettes: I would like to try and experiment more with color, including probably (re-)teaching myself color theory (and actually trying to understand it this time lol), working with more mindful color choices like limited palettes and overall trying to use color to make more visually interesting pieces.
video content: I actually really like the process filming and editing little progress/behind-the-scenes videos, but I didn't do much of that at all this year. I'd honestly like to go back to doing some of that again! Also I had a brief stint of streaming art on Twitch around this time a year ago and haven't gone back to it...still on the fence but I may revisit that as well this year.
comics: I've always enjoyed drawing silly little daily life comics and would like to continue with that, but 2023 made me realize how much I also enjoy creating more long-form webtoon and comic book-like pieces as well! I definitely want to explore and expand more upon that in 2024~
composition: I've been very lazy about composition! Going back to wanting to use color to create more visually interesting pieces, I'd also like to focus more on composition to do the same as well.
(soft) freelance: I used to have an online shop that I shut down almost 3 years ago now...I don't know what I feel brave enough to tackle this year in terms of being an independent artist outside of my day job; whether that's commissions, ko-fi/patreon, product design for a shop reopening or tabling at conventions, but I hope I'll figure it out and get over my hesitations about it...soon.
sketching & journaling: I really super-mega-absolutely neglected sketching and journaling for the entirety of 2023 which TRULY HURTS MY JOURNAL-LOVING HEART. I want to try some things to find a new system of sketch-journaling that fits my time and lifestyle better these days so I can incorporate that back into my life.
My previous artist resolutions from 2023 and 2022~
I think I only really got to two goals from my 2023 list; drawing more backgrounds and entering my 'villain era' by drawing more selfishly (though I'll be honest: I didn't expect that to manifest the way it did when I had written it out, but yeah okay, smutty art it is I suppose lmaooo)
We don't talk about 2022 lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year~ Relax! Rest! Recharge! And may we achieve all (or at least most of) our goals we're hoping to in 2024 💗

Chart Ruler in the 12 Houses Pt. 1
Tumblr media
Hi loves! Debrief on having your 1st house ruler (or chart ruler) in all 12th houses. As a side note: in Modern Astrology, Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces have a secondary ruler (Pluto, Uranus and Neptune, correspondingly), so if you have any of these signs as your Ascendant, the houses in which your two ruling planets (lords) sit should be taken into account equally. 💎
1st house: Super booster here. When you have the ruler of your chart in your 1st house or conjunct your Ascendant, your character and health tend to be very strong and enduring. You embody your rising sign’s traits to the bone, to the point you may identify more with its characteristics instead of your Sun sign’s, physically and personality wise. You are independent and don’t need to rely on others opinion or approval to build the life you want. You find success easier because of your great resourcefulness. The planets in your ASC can color your psyche big time, and this is reinforced when your chart ruler sits in your 1st house. The sign and topics it represent will be of special importance throughout your whole life. Part of your life purpose consists of discovering and taming yourself through self-knowledge and being able to tap into the purest form of power within your being. How you share it will the world will depend on your rising sign.
2nd house: You are driven by the pursuit of finding value in your life. Depending on the planet, these things can go from relationships to philosophical knowledge, for example. When your chart ruler sits in your 2nd house, matters like money, stability, security, pleasure and comfort represent major goals in life. You feel worthy through your own achievements, and can gain a lot of wealth and material success when you have a dignified placement. Part of your life mission consists of building financial health, but also developing a strong and grounded sense of self-worth and self-esteem through the discovery of what you find beautiful and/or valuable. Things like art, music, nature and enjoyment can inspire you deeply. The downside is that you can be a bit lazy, overly materialistic and/or unchangeable because you fear leaving your comfort zone.
3rd house: You are someone who enjoys networking and communicating with others. You are witty and like to keep connected with your close surroundings. You live in the world of possibilities and connections. Social media and gossip may make you feel alive and important, not in a way that you have to talk about others to feel okay, but in the sense that you need to feel you belong to a close circle or that your social interactions and wide are varied because this satisfies your need for stimulation and novelty. You like to know everything about everyone! Learning and academic pursuits will always help you to evolve and keep your hyperactive mind productive. The intellectual realm is something very important to you, that’s why you like to travel, absorb all possible information, and have a wide circle of contacts. When this house is active, things like writing, learning, communicating, and networking are strengths. You are awesome at spreading information. Your siblings and close surroundings may hold an important key to your life’s mission, too. The not so good thing is that you can be overly analytic, nervous, restless and instable if you don’t control your insatiable need for novelty and freshness.
4th house: You are really private, someone who finds comfort in their own space, a place hidden from the public eye. Home and family life is very important to you. This doesn’t mean that you are obsessed with your family or that you cannot leave your roots, but instead, that you need to find security and heartfelt connection and appreciation wherever you go to feel happy. Women, children and/or heritage are close to your heart, just as family assets and things that have sentimental value. The emotional realm and how you use it anchor to places and people are very important to find your own place in the world. You will make a home wherever you love and are loved, and that’s your superpower.  You are familiar to the ups and downs of life, and this makes you someone who is empathetic, compassionate, and sensitive to other’s needs. The negative of this is that you may have a really hard time letting things go because of your tendency to live in the past; you sometimes just care too much about those you love, even if it’s not reciprocated. Your parents and/or ancestors and you can be releasing karma from previous lives too, so overcoming matters related to your upbringing or childhood are particularly important to fulfill your life’s mission!
5th house: Entertainment, sports, music, art, hobbies, drama and being in the lime-light are yours to enjoy in this lifetime. Your gifts are creative talent and authenticity. Discovering your passions and sharing them with the world through your unique character and candor are part of your life’s mission on Earth. People can be magnetized to you for no particular reason and this is because you are meant to inspire them through your most true self. You can be a bit arrogant, self-centered and/or seek a lot of attention when your personality is out of control, but for the most part, this placement allows you to march at your own rhythm and pace and shine with regality and charisma anywhere you go! Living under too much control, a lack of self-expression or being the shadow of someone else’s light and success will make you feel unworthy and depressed, so it’s important you strive to make your own merits and use your creativity to exploit (in the good sense) all you are meant to share with the world. You can become famous or achieve a lot of recognition with this configuration. You will find a lot of fulfillment in children, romance, acting, modeling, art and/or creative recreational activities.
6th house: Daily routine, health and growth on the material realm will be very relevant to you. Your wellness depends largely on how you feel about yourself. This placement may not be so fun as others, but the promises of having your chart ruler in the 6th house are inspiring others through the way you behave on a daily basis and how much care you put into yourself. You can become workaholic and/or be very committed to your body through exercise, diets, and healing of diseases, just be mindful of the tendency to become hypochondriac or too obsessed with being perfect, nobody is! You will tend to be hard working, diligent, modest, humble, and service-oriented towards others. People may see you as reliable, someone who is very trustworthy and excellent at their job. While you are flexible and curious in life, you like to rely on your mind to engage with the world, and your logic can certainly help you achieve your goals as long as you learn about moderation between your “duties” and relaxation, because both are equally important for your well-being.
I will post Pt 2 in a bit! Thanks for reading 😘

What is "Agile" anyway?
So...
I feel like my posts are best when I write about things on my mind. And because of my job, "dark agile" and "dark scrum" have been a lot on my mind. "Dark" basically is used to mean "Subversive" or "Pretending to do X, but in fact doing to opposite.
Dark design for example, refers to design that is worse for the users ( Making it harder to say no to cookies than yes for example).
But to talk about dark agile, I have to explain what agile actually is. I also want to do this because agile is super simple. But if you ever want to see a LOT of successful scamming, check out business management consulting. A LOT of people have a vested interest in making it sound a lot more complicated than it is and/or ignore what it actually is in favor of telling companies what they want to hear.
Agile is short for "Agile software development"
First, understanding the problem agile solves:
Small companies can change what they are doing, and how they are doing it really quickly. They are also very good at listening to their developers and put their good ideas into practice.
As companies grow larger, they quickly lose these abilities.
Agile, is a way to keep those abilities in a larger company. This is done by giving each development team freedom to develop however they want ( not WHATever they want ), and to give them as direct a line as possible to whoever is the decision maker for the thing they are developing, which allows them to change what they are developing very quickly, but in a way that still leaves that decision maker happy.
Or in other words, encourage worker empowerment and grassroot organization ( Can you guess why companies REALLY try hard to not actually do agile? :p )
That's it. That is agile... as in, all of it.
You can read the agile manifesto and the agile principles, which flushes out what exact values agile is trying to achieve, but you basically already have all the info
If you are thinking "But what about Scrum?", scrum is a proposed tool to achieve agile. It is not agile, nor is it part of agile. Agile is a goal. Scrum is a tool that may help a company reach that goal.

These 3 Zodiac Signs are ALWAYS TIRED
Not all zodiac signs are like Aries, full of energy and passion. Or as social as Libra. Or as spotlight-loving as Leo. 
A few zodiac signs prefer to stay in the comfort of their home. Even at home, they are exhausted by the day-to-day routines life demands from them. The last thing they want to do with their time off is venturing out or socialize with people they don’t know. 
So, let’s take a look at three zodiac signs that are always tired. They can be found at home, in nature, or somewhere else they find comfortable and peaceful to relax in. They love to rest in places where their senses are soothed.
Read on to find out who these three zodiac signs are that need a nap. And another nap later.
#1. Taurus
Taurus gets a bad reputation for being lazy.
That is far from the truth.
Taurus works day in (but not out, they need their sleep) for the lifestyle they want to achieve. As much as they wish money grew on trees, they know it’s not the case. Taurus are hard workers despite how exhausted they always are.
But catch them after work, and they will be relaxing in a snuggie napping, or finding chill entertainment. Not everyone is built to be in a constant state of go-mode, certainly not Taurus. 
Taurus is often called boring because of their lack of interest in venturing out after a long week at work. Natural introverts, Taurus prefers to be alone, or with a select few people. They are protective of their home and energy. If they invite you over, they are entrusting you to not disturb their peace.
Taurus is an earth sign. This means their energy is as heavy as the earth and hard to get moving. It’s not uncommon for Taurus to sleep abnormal amounts for this reason.
If a Taurus comes along on an outing, they must really like you. It’s a near guarantee that they are debating how long they have to stay. You can probably catch them yawning and glancing at the time.
They may love you, but that rarely is enough to keep them energized. Taurus would rather be at home, thank you very much.
#2. Cancer
Cancer loves their home. It is where they feel most safe and secure. 
They are always tired, which is why they love staying close to home. 
Cancer enjoys sharing their cooking, crafts, and aesthetic home with friends and family. They are likely to host tea parties, game nights, special dinners or lunches, and more.
Hosting these kinds of home events allows Cancer to control the environment, as well as the people who are welcome. And don’t go bringing any unexpected plus ones, your Cancer host will not appreciate it.
Cancer is happy that they don’t have to account for travel time, which leaves them tired, especially after socializing. 
As a water sign, Cancer is sensitive to their surroundings. If they can control their surroundings, the safer they feel.
They are glad to hop into pajamas and snuggle into bed after everyone leaves. This leaves Cancer feeling like they accomplished a goal while maintaining their peace and comfort. 
#3. Scorpio
Not only is Scorpio always tired, they just prefer to stay at home.
Everything Scorpio does is a heavy output of energy, leaving them mentally and emotionally exhausted. Not everyone can flit from thing to thing with unlimited energy, certainly not the intense Scorpio.
Interacting with people, Scorpio is likely to be awkward at small talk. They much prefer to talk about meaningful things. Whether that is past experiences, future events, current projects, or the state of the world. Anything with depth, really.
As a water sign, Scorpio is diverse in their interests and can talk with anyone. So long as it isn’t shallow, idle chatter.
No topic is too extreme for a Scorpio to dive into for hours. In fact, this kind of engagement with another person can be energizing. 
So long as they don’t get super emotionally invested. Then that can lead to another kind of mental and emotional burnout that leads them back to exhaustion.

Writing Tragic Endings
@everything.writing on IG
The majority of stories out there are written with happy endings where the characters overcome their obstacle and live a happily ever after or bittersweet endings where the character mostly wins but lost something in the process. However, there are a small subset of stories that have completely tragic endings (eg Romeo and Juliet). Writing a good tragic ending is certainly hard, but not impossible.
Decide what message you want to teach. Why are you writing a sad ending? Is it just for shock value (aka because you wanted to be quirky) or is there some underlying meaning behind this tragic ending? For exa mple, you might teach your audience that even if you fight super hard, sometimes you might not win in the end. Or that doing everything alone is not always the best idea.
What bad decisions does the protagonist make? You need to make your protagonist have flaws in all stories, but it’s especially important in tragic ones. For example, maybe there’s a character that is super indecisive. Maybe their story ends in tragedy because they failed to act quickly enough to save their loved ones.
Don’t make the entire story doom and gloom. Give your character a fighting chance. Make it look like they’re about to win. Give them small victories that get them closer to achieving their goal. If you make the entire story doom and gloom and make it super obvious that the ending is going to be tragic, readers may close the book or they won’t feel any emotion upon discovering the tragic ending.
Try to foreshadow the tragic ending. Obviously, don’t make the bad ending too obvious. But you should drop some clues in the story. Your goal with surprising endings or plot twists is to make the reader smack their forehead and say, “I should’ve known that was coming!” Leave a little subtle clues that they’re going to have a tragic ending. This can be a little hard to do, so consider writing the first draft and then using the second draft to find moments that you can foreshadow.
What happens after the tragedy? If your book is inside a series, maybe the problem will be resolved in the next book. Sometimes, though, your characters are just going to live unhappily ever after. Do they manage to find a silver lining despite the tragedy? Also, if your main character dies, who’s going to tell the story?
I hope you guys enjoyed this post! This was one of my favorite advice posts to write and a very intriguing topic! Time is currently limited on my end, but I’m glad I was able to make the time to write this post for you guys.
