All The Things She Did (Just So She Could Call You Hers) | Sydney Lohmann x Child!Reader
warnings: ~
word count: 1080
summary: Mama Syd wants to be able to officially call you hers, part of Sydney's Little Liebe
a/n: because syd is staying 🥰
Momma and Mama Syd have been getting ready to get married for what seems like forever now.
You’re so excited and simply wait anymore.
It is very fun for you to be able to do things like pick out flowers for their wedding and try on dresses with your Mama and Momma.
Both of them say you have been very helpful and that makes you so proud of yourself.
Tante Klara says you should be too.
It also makes you feel very special that you are the only one who has seen Mama Syd in her wedding dress and Momma in her wedding dress.
Momma said she can’t know what Mama’s dress looks like and Mama Syd says that she cannot know what Momma’s dress looks like either.
They tell you that you have to keep it a secret for good luck so you focus very hard on not sharing it with anyone else or them.
You’re getting better at keeping secrets because you are almost six fingers old.
Momma looks super pretty in her dress and you think Mama does too.
The dress that you’re wearing to their wedding is also very very pretty and you love it. It is a light pink, kinda like the flowers you give Mama Syd sometimes.
Your dress sparkles too, because the stuff it is made out of has glitter on it.
It is your favourite dress and part of the reason why you are so eager for the wedding is because you want to wear it. You want to spin in it and make it swish around.
There are so many things that need to be done for the wedding and your mothers have it all written down in a particular folder.
This one isn’t written in though but you don’t know that when Momma asks if you would like to get some cuddles before bedtime.
You are more than happy to say yes and race to the big bed where Mama Syd is already waiting.
She looks nervous, like she sometimes does before the big games as Momma calls them.
That does not stop her from scooping you up and planting kisses all over you.
‘Mama Syd!’ You giggle and try to wiggle away but Mama doesn’t let up.
She laughs loudly and your Momma joins her, in both laughing and kissing you.
Their kisses tickle and you giggle so hard that your tummy hurts.
Breathlessly, you manage to escape and retreat to the edge of the bed.
There is a bright grin on your face and when Mama Syd opens her arms for you, you jump right into them.
She hugs you tightly and you can feel her heartbeat as you squeeze her back.
Curiously, you press your ear up against her chest.
‘Mama why is your heart going so fast?’
Your Mama Syd opens and then closes her mouth, looking immediately at Momma.
Momma smiles reassuringly at her and kisses her gently.
Mama Syd takes a deep breath.
‘Little Liebe, do you know what adopting means?’
From the way she’s talking, you know that she is being serious and you make sure to use your listening ears.
Despite using them, you still don’t know the word Mama is using so you shake your head.
Mama Syd chooses her words cautiously, ‘Well you know that you were born from your Momma’s tummy right?’
You nod, remembering the photos that Momma had shown you before. She told you that her tummy had gotten big because you were inside.
‘That’s why you and Momma are family. Because she went to the hospital and she had you.’
‘Okay…’ You slowly say.
Momma chuckles then because the way you have said it, is exactly the way your Mama sounds when she’s uncertain.
‘Adopting is really just a fancy word for someone loving a kid so much that they want them to be their family even if they didn’t go to the hospital to have them.’
You nod to show Mama Syd that you understand.
Momma reaches out to hold her hand and Mama Syd carefully explains, ‘I love you. I love you so much, like you are my own. My tummy didn’t get big and I didn’t go to the hospital to have you but I love you like your Momma does. Little Liebe, I want to adopt you. Would you like that?’
Her heart is going very very fast now, as she anxiously waits for you to answer.
You think really hard.
‘You want me to be yours even though I didn’t come from your tummy?’
‘Very much so.’ Mama Syd whispers.
Turning to your Momma, you question, ‘Would I still be yours if I let Mama Syd adopt me?’
‘Of course Little Liebe. You’re my daughter and that will always stay the same. Mama Syd is just asking if you want to be her daughter too.’
You settle back in your Mama Syd’s lap, asking, ‘When you and Momma get married, we’re going to be a family? This doesn’t change that?’
Mama Syd smiles, ‘No. We’re already a family, Little Liebe. We’re a family because we love each other so much. Your Momma and I getting married and me wanting to adopt you, is just to make it official.’
You feel a funny feeling in your chest, like you’re going to cry so you hide your face in your Mama Syd’s shirt.
This feels different than your usual crying though, a good different and Mama Syd strokes your hair lightly, giving you time to process your emotions.
Mama’s shirt is a bit wet when you pull away and sniffle, wiping your nose on the back of your hand.
Your words are sure when you decide, ‘Yes. I want you to adopt me Mama Syd.’
Mama Syd inhales sharply.
‘Okay. Okay. Gosh Little Liebe, you make me so happy.’ She murmurs.
She hugs you tightly and then looks at your Momma.
‘I can fill in the papers now.’ She tearfully says.
Momma smiles at her, ‘Told you she would say yes. I trust you, she trusts you and you trust us. I love you, she loves you and I know for sure that you love us both.’
Mama Syd leans in to kiss your Momma and then she returns her attention to you.
‘I do. I love the two of you more than anything.’ Mama Syd promises.
You curl up close to her and Momma is quick to cuddle both you and Mama.
German Translation:
Little Liebe - Little Love

I’ve been thinking about E/riels’s theories about a war breaking out over who Elain is going to be with (like Sarah isn’t aiming for peace across the lands lol). And I just can’t see it happening because Lucien and Azriel simply don’t have armies to back them up.
- Helion became a High Lord basically yesterday. What’s he gonna say? “Omg you guys I know I still haven’t proved myself as a High Lord but my son I just met can’t take no for an answer so off to war we go!!!”
- Beron will enjoy Lucien’s humiliation. He’s already disowned him.
- Spring is basically dying so Tamlin is out, too.
- Jurian and Vassa may care about Lucien, but they’re not sacrificing human lives over this bs.
- Azriel has spent his life looking down his nose at the Illyrians, they will absolutely not fight so he can keep his girlfriend. Same with Kier’s Darkbringers. So he’s empty-handed, too.
Only a fight between the two of them is possible. But then what? Elain is not an inanimate object to be “won”. She made it clear in ACOSF. Not to mention that if a fight happens, even if it’s not a Blood Duel, Gwynriel dies (I know that won’t bother E/riels lol). I doubt Gwyn will want to be with a guy who fought over another woman 2 days ago. Having feelings is one thing, entering a fight to the death is another.
I think some readers are so caught up in what they want to see happen they forget what actually happened in the book.
Az wanted to kiss Elain.........on Solstice.
Az was going to get "down on his knees for Elain"........on Solstice.
Az could not admit to Rhys that he was over Mor that same night.
Az told Elain they were a mistake that same night.
Elain whispered she was sorry to Az that same night and returned his gift hours later.
Az felt calm after spending time with Gwyn that same night.
Az felt something spark in his chest over the thought of Gwyn's happiness that same night.
Az and Elain share no further interactions for months after Solstice. MONTHS.
You know what did happen in the months after?
Az AND Elain (along with the others) nearly lost Feyre, Rhys, and Nyx during the birth scene.
Elain and Az (along with the others) nearly lost Nesta in the Rite.
Az watched Cassian taken by Briallyn.
The Az and Elain forbidden romance has no legs whatsoever.
First, we have ZERO evidence that Elain even entertains a crush on Az anymore. And why should she? He ignored her for a year because he couldn't handle her bond even though she could have used a friend while she recovered from trauma and fought with Nesta. He bought her a gift then called HER a mistake then never apologized. And he continued ignoring her for months after Solstice.
Super crush worthy material right there, am I right?
Also, why would Az turn around and betray Rhys's order after Rhys nearly died? I'd think nearly losing his brother would cause Az to be on better behavior, no? And he doesn't always disobey them "The High Lord and High Lady of the Night Court had faced off against the shadowsinger this after, and emerged triumphant. Perhaps triumphant wasn't the right word, but the argument had ended with AZRIEL GRUDGINGLY AGREEING NOT TO SPY ON BRIALLYN FOR THE TIME BEING -and brooding all through dinner."
Az may not have been happy about obeying orders but he obeyed orders regardless.
No one is starting a war over anyone. Lucien would walk away for good if Elain asked it of him and she would probably wash her hands of the entire lot of them if they were honestly trying to threaten the peace of the lands over her.
"I belong to no one"
"I am not a child to be fought over."
"You do not decide what I can and cannot do."
THAT is Elain Archeron and it's off-putting that anyone in the fandom would turn her into a simpering fool for the love of a male who avoided her because he's so sensitive to the smell of a bond that will always exist and who couldn't admit that he didn't just want to use her as substitute for a pleasure hall.
If she ends up with either male it's going to be because it's the right thing and not because they have to burn bridges in order to be together.

Things that have kept me afloat when I was homeless.. mainly tv shows and books.. are all mostly super triggering for me now T-T.. so much anime that gave me comfort when I had no roof over my head / crying thinking abt what to eat every day.. I can't bear watching now that I'm not homeless anymore... I really miss watching them.. but at the same time it was a very difficult time in my life that I simply cannot return to.. I've never in my life had so many books and possessions as I do now.. I'm really happy I get to escape homelessness... wishing for this kind of safety and stability for the rest of my life...... Idk why I am so emotional.. but all my friends are asleep and I needed this off my chest.. I'm also on some painkillers bc of a mild infection.... and I'm feeling anxious and alone and loopy.. hope u are all OK... first day of Hanukkah for me in my timezone..

Take This
Happy Birthday to the Legend of Zelda!
It's still Februrary 21st somewhere in the world, so I'm gonna say that I made it *nods solemnly*
Happy Birthday, Legend of Zelda! You've come to mean so much to me, and i couldn't let you birthday pass by without doing something. So here, a little fic that I hope expresses how much this franchise means to me.
c[]xxx[]:::::::::::::::>
There was a little boy kneeling besides an old woman. The scattered smoke of dying monsters filled the air here and there, evidence of a victorious skirmish.
The old woman was weak and faint, her hands shaking with weariness. The little boy pulled her arm over his shoulder and fumbled for his canteen, helping her drink. After several careful gulps, the woman pushed the canteen away, despite the shivering in her hand.
“Are you sure, mother?” the boy said, a little doubtfully, hesitating to put the canteen away. “You don’t look so good.”
“It’s not me who needs help,” the woman gasped out. “It’s—it’s the princess who needs help. Please, I have to be on my way.”
“The princess needs help?” the boy frowned. “Why? What’s wrong?”
The story tumbled out of the old woman—of an evil beast named Ganon, who had attacked the country, ravaged the land, and stolen one of it’s greatest treasures. “And the princess—she sent me away to find help, and sacrificed herself to cover my escape!” Tears slipped through the furrows on her aged face. “A nursemaid is supposed to protect her charge, not—not—”
The boy’s frown grew sharper. “What happened to the princess?”
“I’ve heard rumors that he’s imprisoned her in his fortress on Death Mountain.” The old woman tried to push herself to her feet, but the boy held her still, eyeing the shake in her limbs with worry.
“Please, young lad, I have to go—the princess told me I had to find a man of great courage; someone who can defeat Ganon!” She clutched at his hand imploringly. “You see why I cannot delay?”
The boy nodded. “This Ganon… he wants to hurt everything, right? The land, and the people, and the princess?”
The old woman nodded solemnly, tears squeezing out below her closed lids.
The boy carefully stood, helping the old woman to her feet, and took her hands in his. The woman opened her eyes in confusion, and stared in astonishment when the boy smiled at her. “You don’t have to worry anymore, mother! Ganon sounds like a bully, and I don’t like bullies.” He nodded firmly, and gave her hands a squeeze. “So I’ll beat him! I promise!”
The old woman stared at him. “But you’re just a child! Are you sure—”
“I’m twelve!” The boy said proudly. “That’s old enough to start an apprenticeship. Don’t worry, mother, I can do this!”
“But…” the woman blinked in astonishment. “Your accent—it’s from Calatia. You’re not from here. …why?”
The boy shook his head, and gave her hands another squeeze. “Because you need help.” He said simply, and shrugged his shoulders. “And I can help you. That’s all the reason I need!”
The woman burst into tears again. “I have heard tell of heroes of old, but I never truly believed I’d see one like them. Tell me, child, what’s your name?”
The boy grinned, and opened his mouth—
And Link woke up in his bedroom on Skyloft, clutching his loftwing stuffie and staring at the ceiling.
c[]xxx[]:::::::::::::::>
Link spent the next day moping around Skyloft thinking about his dream. He had strange dreams sometimes—and by strange he meant not normal-strange, like the one where the loftwings wore clothes, or the remlits picked up Master Gaepora and flew him in circles around Skyloft.
No, this was a strange-strange dream. The kind that some part of Link’s heart said was super important and really true.
So Link spent his day with his head in the clouds, thinking about his dream. Nobody noticed anything particularly, as little Link spent most of his days with his head in the clouds anyway—nobody, that is, except for his best friend.
“What’cha thinkin about?” She asked, and plopped down beside him.
Link propped his chin on his hands. “I had a dream about someone. He was really brave, and when there was a big bad monster threatening people, he went to fight it just cause they needed help. I was just thinking… that’s what knights are supposed be like, right?”
Zelda screwed up her face as she thought about this. “I think so.”
Link laid on his back, staring at the loftwings circling in the skies above. “…I think that’s the sort of knight I want to be one day. Someone who helps cause they can.”
Zelda flopped on her back next to him, reaching out and nudging his elbow with her own. “I bet that’s just the sort of knight you’ll make!” She scowled suddenly, and gave him a harder nudge. “But if you want that, you need to stop slacking so much!”
Link ignored this. He was pretty great at the basic knight skill stuff, so why waste his time studying when he could be napping. Still, something was bothering him. Zelda noticed the odd tone to his silence and sat up, cocking her head to one side as she looked down at him.
“What is it?”
“I just…” Link pouted slightly. “The boy in my dream—he was gonna face a big nasty monster, but he didn’t even have a sword.”
Zelda crossed her arms, furrowing her brow in thought. “That’s not good. Every good hero needs a sword.”
Zelda frowned at the ground, and Link frowned up at the sky, when sudden Zelda’s head shot up. She grabbed Link’s arm and pulled his torso up, a bright grin on her face. “Remember, you carved a wooden practice sword for fun last year! Why don’t you make him one like that!”
Link blinked, and then a grin of his own spread across his face. “I could do that!!!” He scrambled to his feet, yanking Zelda along with him. “How’d you come up with it first?”
He started sprinting in the direction of Jakamar’s house to beg for the best quality wood he could get, Zelda clinging onto his hand, giggling like the waterfall at the far end of the pool.
“Cause I’m the smartest, that’s why!”
c[]xxx[]:::::::::::::::>
Link grew older, and the dream faded into the background—though the feeling Link got from that dream remained. The idea of a knight who helped cause he could, who faced a monster to save people in need—somehow, they sunk deep down inside him, coiling about his very core, and gave him strength when his greatest trial came.
But that was over, and Demise was sealed, and now the time had come for Link and Zelda to settle on the Surface.
They were sorting through boxes stuffed in the bottom of Link’s wardrobe when he found it—a strange bundle wrapped in an old, musty blanket.
He pulled back the folds, stared down at the wooden sword, which had been laying forgotten for over half a decade—and suddenly he remembered the dream.
“Hey, Zelda, look what I found!”
Zelda turned from where she was packing his hoard of items from the surface into boxes, took one look at the sword, and smiled.
“I forgot all about that!” She quickly set the amber artefact she was holding down, and scrambled over to kneel at his side, holding her hands out. “Can I hold it?”
“Of course, my lady,” Link said, and handed the blade over with an overdramatic flourish. Zelda giggled as she took it, but the moment it was in her hands her giggles died down.
Link glanced up, even more attuned to her and her moods now, after all they had been through, and saw her staring down at the sword with a strange expression.
“Link… that dream you had, all those years ago…” She bit her lip, struggling to give voice to her thought.
Like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, Link realized where her thoughts were headed, and swallowed hard. “You’re think about the curse.”
Zelda’s fingers tightened on the sword, her knuckles yellowing under her grip. “…if it is true, and the spirit of the hero is reborn again and again… that boy you dreamt of may be real.”
For a moment, neither of them spoke, struggling to come to terms with… with everything that possibility meant.
Finally, Link reached out, laying a hand on the sword. “If… if it is, then I want the boy to have this sword, more than ever.” He grinned at Zelda, though the smile was edged with sorrow. “After all… I know how valuable having a sword by your side can be during an adventure.”
Zelda laid her free hand over his, her heart aching. Link took the chance to entwine their fingers, and they clung to each other’s strength for a long moment.
Finally, Zelda stirred. “Well…” She said slowly, straightening. “I am the reincarnation of a goddess. I’m sure I can pull some strings to make sure this sword is in the right place at the right time.”
Link’s eyes widened, and then he flung his arms about her shoulders, tugging her close and pressing a kiss against her cheek. Zelda squeaked in surprise, blushing pink, as kisses were still rather new territory for them, but she quite happily wrapped her free arm around him as he murmured praises and gratitude in her ear.
“Of course I’m happy to do it,” she finally giggled the first chance she got, which happened to be when Link had to finally pause to take a breath. “I’d do anything for you, you know?”
“I know,” Link said, but he didn’t let go yet. There was a brief pause, and Zelda grinned as she waited for what she strongly suspected was coming.
“…do you think you could use your goddess powers to, yknow, upgrade it a little?”
Yup. Zelda stifled a laugh. “What kind of upgrades are you thinking, Link?”
“Well…” Link said, and drew back far enough to aim her with his most adorable cuddly-remlit expression. “If you could give it the power to do something like the skyward strike, that would be really really cool.”
Zelda laughed, and pressed a kiss to his own cheek, grinning triumphantly at his own flush. “I’ll see what I can do.”
c[]xxx[]:::::::::::::::>
Link eyed the old man and the object in his hand excitedly. Was that a sword? And was it for him? He didn’t want to assume, but the old man had said that he had a special gift for him, and then he turned back around holding the sword.
Link hoped it wasn’t too selfish to really, really hope he could get to keep it. He’d never had a sword before! He had to beat monsters to death with his trusty stick instead.
“It’s dangerous to go alone,” the man said, with a twinkle in his eye that was mostly kind and a little sad. “Take this.”
Link wasn’t quite sure how having a sword meant you weren’t alone any more, but he also wasn’t gonna look a gift mouth in the horse—or however that saying Mama liked went.
He reached out and laid his hand on the wooden handle—and all of a sudden he thought he understood what the old man meant.
The moment his hand touched the wood, a warmth filled him, as if there was someone standing there at his side, shoulder to shoulder, back to back. Moving on instinct he didn’t know he possessed, Link lifted the sword and stabbed skyward.
He stared up at his blade, at how the flames gleamed on the varnished veneer of the wood, and wondered why he felt so strange.
Like how he’d done this before, and yet also he was the very first one to do it.
“Very good.” The old man smiled. “The blade will serve you well, I think.”
“I think so, too,” Link said, his voice full of wonder, and he slowly lowered the blade to his side, giving it a couple practice swings and swooshes on the way down. He grinned up at the old man. “Did you make this?”
The old man laughed. “Oh, no. It’s far, far older than even I. I trust you’ll take care of it?”
“Of course!” Link said, and bowed gratefully, feet itching to rush out into the wild and try his new sword on some tektites or something.
“Thank you very much! I don’t know how I can pay you back—”
“No need,” the man chuckled, and waved a wrinkled hand. “I think the sword was waiting for a hero such as you.”
Link blinked. He didn’t know what that meant, but it somehow sounded right all the same.
“Now get going, lad,” the old man said kindly. “Don’t you have a princess to save?”
“Oh yeah!” The boy grinned, and turned to the cave door. “Thanks again! See you later!”
The man bowed his head with a smile. “Until next time, then, young hero.”
And Link ran out of the cave into the sunlight, his new sword bouncing against his leg, he lifted his face to the wind and grinned.
“Just wait, Ganon!” He said, and drew his sword with a flourish, stabbing it in the direction that he guessed (or hoped) was Death Mountain. “I’m coming to get you!”
And somewhere, deep inside him, a very old piece of his spirit sighed with contentment. Something long-prepared-for had meant it’s fruition at last… and yet…
The piece of his spirit smiled.
The adventure, after all…
....was just beginning.

Hi, I’m so sorry if this is an inconvenience, but I thought you’d be able to help me with something because you’re Patrick’s favorite 🥰🥰
So… okay. Very weird situation I’m in, but. like. I have always loved self shipping. Especially with villains. I have always thought of myself as the “exception” where they could be horrible to everyone, but be kind to me, if I were a character in their show or movie or book. But then I spent all of 2022 and 2023 being abused, I have now been convinced that love comes with conditions, and it’s affected my self shipping too. even though I have escaped my abusive situation, the damage still lingers. I’ve been trying very hard for to heal from what happened to me, yet self shipping is still something very difficult for me to do now, when it used to be the easiest thing in the world. Even with non-villains, I still think I am unable to receive kindness unless it is in the form of violence.
Well, I watched American Psycho a few days ago, and I really fell for Pat. Like. Really fell for him, for some godforsaken reason lol?? And for a few days, I genuinely felt good with him, I felt safe, like he couldn’t harm me. I felt like the exception. This was my first time feeling genuinely good while self shipping again. I thought he’d never hurt me simply because he likes me enough to want me to feel loved and safe with him. That he could be horribly violent to everyone in the world, but with me it’d be so different. I spent all of yesterday feeling so proud of the progress I am making in my healing and genuinely feeling so loved and happy. Imagining him giving me flowers, admiring the star clips in my hair, liking my freckles and counting them. Fluffy romantic stuff haha. I have even thought of him protecting me, him knowing my past of being hurt, him being so overwhelmed with rage on my behalf and vowing to never make me feel scared like other people did. I have thought of him as a… very violent guard dog boyfriend 😂
But fast forward to this morning, I am talking to one of my friends who is also into self shipping, about to announce my exciting news that I am finally on the path to healing, that I feel really good drawing myself and writing myself with a very sick, twisted, violent murderous villain, and maybe that means I can feel good with other characters someday too. But my friend said very casually about how Patrick is shallow and a misogynist, which… yes, he is, I am aware 😭 and they kept going on about how he’d never love a girl who isn’t super thin and Hollywood attractive. And it felt like a punch to the guts. I realized I would never ever be attractive to Pat. I feel. disgusting. I feel… like the exact opposite of everything he’d desire, now that my friend had made me think about it: I’m not thin, I’m very chubby with a round stomach, I have freckles, glasses, I don’t even have nice nails because I bite them, and my teeth aren’t white because a side effect of my antidepressant yellows them a bit — I am just. feeling too unattractive to Bateman. Not to say that any of these traits are unattractive, I just feel like… *Pat* wouldn’t like them, wouldn’t like ME specifically. Having a combination of all of these makes me feel… Undesirable to him. Not the exception anymore. And that kills me. I feel so hurt and heartbroken. It was the first time in a year that I was finally started to feel good self shipping again ;-; and now I cannot bring myself to indulge any romantic ideas with him anymore. I feel very stupid for allowing myself to have feelings.
Days ago, I went into his tag to look at photos of him, and found your blog, and remembered you seem to write for him, so you’d know him better than anyone else. I know it’s highly unrealistic for him to like me, but could you tell me how he’d maybe find someone like me attractive, even if I’m not conventionally attractive? It doesn’t have to be a drabble or a fic at all, I’m just asking for uh, reassurance, I suppose. I’m so sorry to come to you and bother you with this but I have been crying about it all day and I thought I’d ask for your perspective on the matter :’) anyway, I’m so sorry, if you don’t want to reply, please don’t worry about it. thank you very much for your time. I hope you have a good New Years and please take care 💙💙💙
Hello my dear anon! 💕
First of all, I want to thank you for putting so much effort into writing this - I can relate to all of this because most of my irl friends call me crazy when I say that Patrick Bateman is my comfort character, and it really sucks. It took me a long time to realize that the most important thing is not someone else's opinion, but how your crush makes you feel. In my darkest days, Patrick was my savior, and I would never trade that feeling of comfort for someone else's opinion. And I'm not a model either, but I will tell you this - Patrick's taste in dates and his obsession with being perfect in everything was driven by the society he lived in. Only God knows what his real preferences in dates were. Remember, he seems to only love blondes, but his ex-girlfriend Bethany was a brunette and, in my opinion, she contributed a lot to his self-destruction and loss of sanity. So, my point is pretty simple - you may think your imperfections are bad, but to another person they could be the rarest of diamonds, because we are who we are, some people are just afraid to show their true selves. Patrick is exactly that kind of person.
Speaking of writing - you can come into my DM, and I'd be happy to talk to you about anything! Please don't cry! I'm eager to do whatever I can to help you!

I have been reading you for long time, what’s your opinion on nowadays jikook relationship? Did you notice the change? Do you think they are still couple? Do they maybe have now time off for some time to figure out stuff? Several months ago you did post that was quite popular where you made conclusion “TKK are simply not a thing, while JKK clearly are a couple” @ because Tae forgot that JK did 2 hour vlive (he even commented during it but simply forgot). Now Jungkook forgot or didn’t know (it’s unlike, I think he saw it maybe for bride second but just brushed it as if it was unimportant information in his brain) where Jimin’s new tattoo is. How is this situation different from what you initially thought about tk one? Isn’t the conclusion should be the same?
You seem angry, lol.
And from your ask I guess you are also sure that JK and JM are no longer together.
Funny how JK seems to have had his JM tattoo just touched up (just the JM, those two specific letters).
Before I get into JK’s Vlive, you ask me what I think the status of their relationship is now days.
My answer to you is that I think they are fine and dandy. I think they are as in love as ever and their long term relationship is as strong as it has ever been.
Seeing their interactions in LV, JK being super loud not only on his IG stories or his Vlive, but also during the concerts and the Vlive Hobi, Tae, JM and JK had.
Only to mention a very few of said words/actions/interactions: JK’s “keep being jealous I’ll keep holding JM, blblblblb”, JK’s description of JM hugging him with a big ass smile on his face, JK’s ass grab, JK saying “love you” to JM (I do think he thought the mic was off and we weren’t going to hear that one, that it was for JM’s ears only, oopsy), JK’s heart finger for JM, JK carrying JM, their interactions, their utter happiness around each other.
And if you were maybe thinking something happened after they got back, just maybe, then you have the pre-recordings happening just days ago telling us just the same - they are still drawn to each other, their interactions still same old Jikook interactions.
It’s like every single time we don’t get to see them there is this wave of insecurity, and “JK doesn’t look at JM the same”, “JK isn’t all over JM”, “JK doesn’t live JM anymore” (funny how it’s always JK the one not wanting JM anymore, isn’t it?). JM and JK are super private people. When they are off camera they want to be off camera. Not to mention, and I am sick and tired of having to mention this yet again, being a closeted queer couple in an unaccepting society, with a very negative climate at the moment (have you seen what’s been going on with the Seoul pride parade?). But the second they are back in front of the camera they just cannot hide it, and every single time said rumours are proven wrong.
So no, I don’t think there is anything wrong with their relationship. They are, as I said, fine and dandy.
Now to the Vlive:
I haven't seen the live. And definitely not translated, so I'm living on what you are writing and bits and pieces of information about what was said.
Do I have to remind you that we are talking about a friendship tattoo, one that all of the members have had done or are going to have done?
One that so far both NJ and Hobi have shown us themselves!
And JIn also referred to his, almost showing it to us too.
As for JM, from photos it seems that JM might have had it done on his left hand...
He hasn’t told us though.
You say that JK "didn't know where JM's friendship tattoo is", but that’s not what JK said though. As far as I understand JK mentioned RM’s, Hobi’s and Jin’s tattoos. And then went “and where did Jimin hyung get his one again?”
So 3 members who have basically revealed their tattoos already and the fourth, JM, who hasn’t just yet. JM who is a private person. JM who will be the one to decide when and where to reveal it to us.
This isn’t JK’s story to tell us. It’s JM’s. And JK not telling us is him respecting that.
As it being a friendship tattoo JM isn’t hiding the tattoo from the others, they know about it, he’s told them. It’s not something JK would know about because of bf privileges.
If we saw the tattoo already, granted by accident, but none the less, I can assure you that the rest of the members, all of them, have seen it already and know exactly where JM had it done. Boyfriends or not, lol. So even if JK was not romantically involved with JM he would know where said tattoo is. Do you get that? I hope you do.
Hence, JK not divulging where the tattoo is has zero to do with the question if they are a couple or not, and I do hope you’re not even hinting to JM and JK not being friends enough for JK to be one of those to know where JM’s tattoo is. You aren’t, right? Because even if you are hinting in your ask to believing they are no longer a couple, you wouldn’t be going down the path of them not being friends. Nah-ah. Nope.
Btw JM himself kind of hinted to where his tattoo will be during the festa dinner. Telling us where he would like to have it done...
At the end not the pinky, but definitely on the inside.
So JK not telling us about JM’s tattoo is not about him not knowing where it is. This is about JK realising this isn’t his story to tell us, respecting JM and letting him be the one to tell and show us the tattoo.
Those are my thoughts. Take them or leave them.

[AK] IS3 In Game Ending 1 “Precious Daily”
Mizuki & Caerula Arbor (水月与深蓝之树)
Translation of In-game Ending 1, “Precious Daily”. Spoilers ahead~
This is the normal/standard ending, and can be obtained after clearing Floor 5′s Dreadful Foe stage “Knowledge is Burden” (认知即重担).
Disclaimer: This is a fan translation and may/will be different from official content when it’s released on Global (ENG).
Stage Info
Stage name: Knowledge is Burden (认知即重担)
Stage description: In this world, everything is facing a dilemma. The individual who wanders along the boundary of perception is doomed to collapse. Until she is able to reaffirm the meaning of her existence, she will be a slave to her primitive instincts (also known as the id; part of Freud’s psychoanalysis theory of id-ego-super ego).
Story
(Highmore collapses.)
???: You’ve done very well, Mizuki.
Mizuki: Grandpa Cicero.
Cicero: She simply wasn’t as perfect as you.
She’s been yearning earnestly for a change, so even if the messenger’s gift for her causes her to lose her way—
That’s still something she looks forward to.
Mizuki: What about memories and singing? She’s still as fond of singing as she was before.
After turning into that thing, she could only make noises that scared herself.
Cicero: I can only offer choices. I doubt that there’s anyone who is able to decide where the individual will choose to go in the end.
Mizuki: You’re still so aloof even though she became like that?
Cicero: It’s rare to see these types of individuals.
A majority of Humanity don’t know what they are wishing for, neither do they know that they’ve been manipulated by some emotion or another.
When they’ve swallowed the messenger’s gift, their consciousness will be conquered by the swarm’s mindset, turning them into Sea Terrors (low level Seaborn mobs) or various incomplete Seaborn, all too eager to swim into the ocean without a second glance back.
Highmore is able to revert back from this form. I suppose there’s a heartfelt desire to hold on to those cherished human traits.
In a way, it’s just like you, Mizuki.
Mizuki: ……
Cicero: But you’ve never gone through this process. Even after accepting the Seaborn’s body, your perception of self still shaped you into what you are now.
You’ve accepted becoming one of the Seaborn, then made a tearful decision, just like I had done.
But, she failed.
Is it because of fear, or is it because of loneliness? I do not know.
In the end, she finds herself stuck between failure and success. Even though she has accepted the gift, she refuses to cut anymore things from herself… and thus, unknowingly became part of Nature’s harmony.
Mizuki: If your laboratory’s future experimental blueprints reject individuals who aren’t resilient enough, then it cannot be considered a successful study, nor evolution for humanity.
Cicero: That’s true, my beloved child. Since this is the answer that you’ve given me, I will amend my research accordingly.
Do you still remember the question I had asked you before?
“How does one become an even better human being?”
I’m very satisfied with your answer.
You see, accepting this power correctly has allowed you to become more open-minded. It seems like you’ve successfully understood my intentions.
Perhaps with my efforts, all who sample God’s fruits will also become as intelligent as you.
Mizuki: Can these types of lives still be considered ‘human’?
Cicero: A true ‘human being’ would know how to use a strong spirit that’s able to transcend all forms of matter to overcome everything they’ll face.
At this current stage, those who are unable to overcome these, perhaps can only lament their frail way of thinking and flesh are unable to withstand the weight of the phrase ‘human being’.
Mizuki: ……
I will let Highmore live.
Cicero: This is your benevolent choice. As long as you want to do it, then go ahead.
All of your actions will be praised by the future generations.
I’m extremely happy to have seen you, Mizuki. Like I’ve said before, as long as you don’t stray from the path, we will reunite in the future.
We will meet again.
Mizuki: Hmph… that old man’s still as stubborn as ever.
Highmore: Ue… ueue…
Mizuki: You’re awake?
Mizuki: A lot of energy would’ve been expended to turn into that. What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.
Highmore: Alright…
Eh, wait, wait, that’s…?!
Mizuki: Ah, ah. This is your limb.
Highmore: ?!
Mizuki: You hadn’t completely transformed into a Seaborn, so all the tissues that grew will just fall off.
I’ve helped you remove some of the tissues that were still attached to your body. Afterwards, you’ll be able to live like any other regular person, and others won’t badmouth you about your appearance.
Come on, eat it while it’s fresh. You’ll be able to replenish some energy if you eat more.
Highmore: Um, ah, uh, this… no.
Mizuki: Haiz.
(a crackling sound, like the sound of something getting set on fire)
There’s nothing to worry about, these will be cooked through in no time.
Highmore: I–I–I– that’s not what I meant.
Mizuki: Hm… this one’s a little charred, so I’ll eat it.
Highmore: ……
Mizuki…
Mizuki: Hm?
You want one?
Highmore: Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!
N-no, that’s not what I wanted to ask…
……
Grandpa Cicero went away… and with my own two hands, I’ve proven that I’m blind and incompetent…
I really have nothing left…
Mizuki:Maybe.
As long as I can eat and drink and have some games to play at hand, I still consider myself to be able to live calmly.
Those things that you’re fond of, that which made you reject becoming a Seaborn… surely they’ll be enough for you to continue living.
Are you sure you really don’t want a bite?
Highmore: No…
Mizuki: Sigh, alright.
Even though I didn’t bring any rations, I do know a really good place with many good people who know how to make all sorts of yummy things.
Perhaps it’ll even bring back some feelings of being human for you.
What do you say, wanna come along?
Highmore: ……
Okay.

Okay okay I'm having too many thoughts on tears to contain them I'mma put something here
Spoilersssss
If I'm being quite honest I keep seeing posts saying this game is better than BoTW entirely and I simply cannot agree I think they're genuinely about the same for a number of reasons.
BEAR IN MIND: I have completed the Rito and Zora areas, but unfortunately I have not been able to find any of the dragon tear memories or whatever they're called, I have been looking but i have no damn clue.
I will say that I think Tears of the Kingdom has better characters overall but I do think there is some flimsiness that comes with having so many npcs to focus on that was also present in BoTW and that's why the vast majority of BoTW character personalities are pretty severely headcanoned or flanderized in fan media, I feel like the same thing is gonna happen for tears. On that note, I also think that it's a good thing that the old sages are pretty hazy. The dialogue the old water and wind sages had was pretty fuckin similar, if not identical, and their personalities don't show much, and in some capacity I think that's smart. The greatest folly of BoTW imo was making the most compelling characters the dead or inactive ones, it's why I say AoC was a better story than BoTW, because it uses all the best characters to the fullest extent, and takes the ones that weren't as strong and lifts them up. Because of that, I think it was smart to not make the dead characters as lively again, because now people won't get hung up over them again.
But, on that note, I think that it genuinely makes them pretty unnecessary. I feel like there would've been better mileage just making Rauru narrate that and tell the new sages what their ancestors did so we have one super strong character compared to a few ones that feel a bit unnecessary. And while Rauru is only going to get stronger, probably, I think it could be cool to just have him mirror Link a bit and remember and lament his friends some.
So far, these stories feel very identical, it's just a With Friends sort of deal that I like mechanically and think is being played very well, I just also think that pretending these two stories are super different is a little far fetched. The new sages have more potency because you work with them for the whole dungeon and boss, which I love, it gives them more energy and supports their personalities a lot more, and does more to convey the idea that yes, Hyrule was attempting to move on from the champions by no longer having the mindset that only a champion can save them. The new guys are here to help, and they're not abandoning their fate to one guy anymore. BUT, in my mind that feels like a retooling of BoTW's story to better convey a point that didn't land right in BoTW.
Gameplay, I have nothing to say or complain about. It's the most flawless part of this game, they took botw and made it better in basically every way. If I had to say something, I do miss premade elemental arrows, because pressing up on the D-pad every time is such a time waster that I just forget half the time. Also these monsters are fuckin spooky and I hate it. /pos
Finally, the world. I won't say that I'm happy with, or understand why none of the shiekah tech is anywhere anymore. I get it, with the new shrines and towers, it'd be so much shit just all over, but it's still hard to believe that all vanished and just deactivated, especially because there's really no reason to have new towers, but of course, that's for a gameplay feature rather than a lore feature, so I suppose that's a moot point. What really gets me about this fuckin world is HOLY SHIT WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TO DO. I cannot focus at all and that's both a benefit and a detriment to me because botw let me laser focus on things which is good for my easily distractable mind and I've yet to hear one person say otherwise on the idea that there's too much to focus on. It's never a negative thing when mentioned by folks, and I don't think it is, but FUCK I need an alternate game mode that just hides like 70% of the quests until you complete some because having these all accessible means I will never finish this main story.
Also, fuck the depths. That's it, fuck the depths.
I like this game. It's just kinda weird, something is preventing me from loving it, and I hope that resolves by the end because I really would like to love it, and say it's better than botw, but as far as I'm concerned I don't think I have a severe preference for either one.

hey vish, congrats again on your milestone! it's well deserved, your stuff is always so beautiful! 💛 i was wondering if you could do an edit with the quote "between seas, galaxies, and moons, i was lucky i stepped on the same land, i dreamed under the same stars as you.” — unknown for puen x talay?
hi antania ^^ thank you so very much for this prompt!
here's what became of it
tbh i was super excited about this one bc the quote is just So Good. i had several ideas for it which ranged from heartbreak to any possible parallel to just a collection of softness. i had difficulties deciding where to go with this.
and then i just mixed everything together and tada! here we are. this is a mix-and-match type of situation. i just couldn't leave anything out when this quote seemingly demanded me to just look at puen and talay and their journey as a whole.
(some more rambles under the cut!)
i started this edit by wondering what are the moments that somehow define puentalay's wish to be together in both universes. that gave me several options but somehow my mind drifted towards the bucket hat scene on both sides. that symbolizes their connection and how they are still the same ppl despite the "sky they are under". so, this is why there is talay from their original bucket hat moment in his picture and then puen from the recreated bucket hat scene in his.
otherwise, these scenes (that made it to the final edit) held some meaning in them to show how puen and talay need each other and are glad to be together:
puen falling in love in the glass house simply bc talay exists (almost right after the same happened the other way around)
talay telling puen he likes him despite his looks
talay thanking puen for standing beside him (both in the movie making process and just in general)
puen hearing talay tell him he missed him (after only 9 days!)
talay telling puen, "where there's you, there's happiness" when puen has always been alone
their reunion hug in their own universe
their hug when they figure out their portkey is linked to the color pink
talay promising puen he will be there for him if puen so wishes
and at the same time them promising to each other they will look for the other once they go back home (a promise that finally pulled talay home)
their hug after talay tried to quit friend credits and puen confessed he believed talay was his portkey
talay telling puen, "thank you for being born so i could love you" when puen has probably doubted his purpose for all his life
and then one of the most important scenes in my own mind:
watching the moon together.
that was the other scene that popped right into my head as i read this quote. bc they literally get so happy about seeing the same moon together, being able to just be there and know the other one is there with them and is the person they're supposed to be. they are under the same sky, indefinitely, and nothing will separate them anymore. so that's why the last image is like that. that's why i wanted that last hug in there (tho i'm kind of sad i cannot include the actual moon).
i hope you like this edit ^^ and thank you once more for joining in and giving me this chance ♥

Reasons for Steve/Tony divorce (based on the idea Tony isn’t 100% sure what happened):
Skrull/body swap/mind control shenanigans
Steve did SOMETHING on a mission and thinks he’s not worthy of Tony anymore and pulls away
Steve is being blackmailed by his enemies and is trying to keep Tony safe by breaking his heart
Steve was way younger then Tony when they got married and has a belated wild 20's yearning and he needs a kick in the pants from himself at 20 something to be like, you are doing what?!?
They worked to much and didn’t have time for each other and are paying the price now
Based on the movie Click (2006) by mentally time travelling Steve has been on auto pilot in the years between and so Tony's like, do I even make you happy anymore?? (Don’t watch Click (2006) the actual way this plot point plays out issssss grroooosssssss like most of that movie. But that one idea is fun)
Someone got cursed and this somehow breaks the spell
If we think, Tony does know and Steve needs to sus it out
Their canon divorces aka Civil War bullshit or something based on it
Tony is sick and dying and trying to “spare” Steve
Tony’s drinking is getting out of hand and Steve can’t bare to watch anymore
Tax/inheritance reasons (lol) maybe connected to #5…
They never actually confessed their feelings, it was a fake!married situation and now it’s time to unmarry
Someone has convinced Tony Steve will happier without him during a rough patch and he believed them
not the movie Click (2006) lmfaooo!!!
((((cannot stress anon's warning enough do NOT go watch Click (2006)))))
imagine being their divorce lawyers and having to pause the proceedings because one of the parties' past selves mentally time traveled into the body of their current self which had actually been replaced by a shape-shifting being who is part of a hostile alien race that strategically infiltrated Captain America and Iron Man's marriage to initiate their divorce because that was step 1 in their genius master plan to destroy the galaxy lol i would simply Retire
But also omg these are all SUCH good angst fodder!!! i absolutely adore numbers 2 & 4 as reasons they divorce when Tony doesn't know what's going on and numbers 2, 3, & 6 as reasons they divorce when Steve doesn't know.
Especially the one about Steve having a mid-life crisis and feeling really resentful about all the life experiences he never got to have because he's been married to Tony for essentially all of his adult life. Sometimes real life is just super complicated, just because they're superheroes doesn't mean they're exempt from all those messy emotions. Everyone knows the feeling of forgetting how to appreciate what you've got until it's too late and what you had is gone and your past self somehow travels to the present day and he's just as hopelessly head-over-heels in love with your soon-to-be-ex-husband as you were back then and gives you the Captain America Lecture To End All Captain America Lectures once he finds out that not only did you two finally get together and actually get married (😍🥳🤩🥹🥰), but you're also about to get divorced (🤬😔😭😖😰) because what?? being married to a beautiful brilliant billionaire genius inventor who's got an ass that won't quit and a mouth that feels like heaven and loves you so much he's willing to let you go just because it's what YOU want isn't enough for you??
... okay maybe not everyone knows that specific feeling but my point still stands
#young steve is like outta my way dumbass if you don't wanna be married to him anymore i will GLADLY take over#stevetony#signed sealed delivered#anon#am not exaggerating even a bit when i say that the only good thing to come out of Click (2006) is this specific ask so thank u anon <3

:0 Happy Borth!!!
If you feel like answering, what is it about Shadow (like say personality, vibes, or appearance wise or just a general Thing about him) that made you go "this is my son now"
Thank you!
And ough. Cyan, my scrimblo. My awful, angry child. You could say that there are a few things about him that appeal to me about him; his appearance (both the fact that he looks like Joker only Edgier™ and that he does not look like this naturally, yet continues to dress and style this way completely voluntarily, in spite of not really having a reason to anymore), his personality (his original depth + subsequent flanderization in the anime, as well as all the inconsistent nonsense he had going on in the manga because the author never had his ducks in a row in regards to planned plot elements and basically wrote on vibes alone), and his overall story arc, which the anime especially handled super well.
There's also the smaller things, like the fact that he's clearly brilliant when he's not choosing to be stupid and/or rising to Joker's deliberate bait; the fact that a lot of his favorite things seem to be specifically designed around him taking the "dark doppelgänger" role a little too seriously (I think I posted the page from that one manga volume around here somewhere with all the silly things on it), or else just being a huge edgy nerd; the fact that he's a good older brother and loves his sister very much, but is kind of self-conscious about it (the fact that people seem to ship them romantically because of this makes me want to Bite Them; for real don't be nasty); the fact that in most official artwork and other extracanon materials, he's still depicted as loving apple pies and panda bears... Underneath it all, and in spite of everything, there's still a teenage boy under there, attempting to thrive.
Plus, have I mentioned what a humongous dork he is? He hypes himself up so much over a challenge he sent to Joker, only to mope dejectedly, pouting, when he finds out that Joker is too ill to be there in person. It's like he thought he was going to see his favorite celebrity at a meet and greet, only to find out that they cancelled at the last minute. Really, it's a very silly thing that he's seemingly dedicated the rest of his life to (outside of caring for his sister, of course), but hell if he isn't very serious about it.
Really, there was a lot of potential to his character that simply didn't get covered (at least by the anime). And there's a chance we may never see any more of his and Rose's manga chapters in English, which is a shame, because I know there's at least one story about them when they were young children. He and his sister deserved more screen time, especially considering that he was Joker's main rival (ignoring Spade, who feels more like some kind of older step-sibling that Joker both loves on some level, yet cannot stand to be around; basically Shadow is his primary rival that doesn't come with the familial baggage, whereas Spade activates Joker's Cain Instinct basically on sight). He's a cool guy (even if he's a nerd) that deserved more development; a lot of them deserved a little more fleshing out, actually, but that's another issue that has a lot to do with the nature of the original manga series, plus the limited time they were allowed with the anime, which seems to be no more, sadly.
Basically, he just kind of hits a lot of the right buttons with me, in some ways. Also he's dressed in purple; kind of hard to go wrong, there, in my mind at least. (Did I ever mention that my favorite color was violet/purple?)

👻 ghost for the halloween themed ask game!
Heya! thanks for the ask <3 I've answered ghost once HERE, but let me see what else I can share & tease about some wip ideas that have been haunting me...
One...
I mentioned earlier that I have several Interactive Fiction idea's. One of those is a Halloween themed interactive fiction.
Your roommate's brother invites you to the family halloween ball. Your roommate won't be there, she has to work, but she asks if you plan on going.
If you do, you might find out that vampires, werewolves, and fae all exist, and none of them like having a human at their halloween masquerade.
It was an idea spawned by the Halloween Game event on the Choice of Games forums, and while I don't have time right now to make it for the event, I love the idea enough that I do want to put it together at some point.
Two...
I half wrote a story some years ago about a woman called Stephanie who bumped into a man on her way home from work. the following day he showed up at her front door and insisted that she had to help him break into hell.
The story centred around this woman finding out she descended from a long line of witches, and that the Angel Gabriel needed her to open a path into hell, so he could confront Lucifer about who had caused the Wheel of Time to stop spinning.
Over the course of story they would traverse through the nine planes of hell, only to find out that Lucifer wasn't behind the sabotage at all.
The story stalled, and then my Grandad's health went rapidly down hill, and I never got back to 'When Time Stands Still', but like all the others I've mentioned, it's one I'd like to take another look at someday.
Three...
One idea I'm very excited to explore is A Grim Awakening. I really love the concept of death longing for death.
I've wanted to make a character surrounding this concept for literally years, and to know I've finally got a functional outline, and a story ready to go, my fingers are itching to reach for the keyboard for this particular project.
When Krysis hears about Reapers, immortal creatures who cannot die, going missing, she's more than happy to investigate. She's been looking for a way to simply stop for a while.
When she reaches the city, however, she discovers a human on the cusp of becoming a minor deity. Jack Sanger is a paramedic, but his slowly manifesting powers are allowing him to capture the soul before it leaves the body, and revive his patients.
The worst part about that, for Krysis, is that he can see her. Now she's got missing Reapers, no leads, and a minor deity who doesn't know the damage he's doing to the fabric of reality, and suddenly her life isn't looking quite so boring anymore.
I'm just ITCHING to dig into this dynamic, I'm super excited about it :D

Earlier this month dollsome posted a poll of some favorite TV shows, and there was a space to write in your own favorite, and I had an immediate crisis of conscience upon realizing I do not know anymore.
(this got kinda long)
In high school and for a few years after that the obvious answer was X-Files, but lol no to that; even if the revival hadn’t tainted it, it’s been handily surpassed by way too many better shows at this point.
Up until the early 2010s it was definitely a CBS procedural, probably one of the CSIs or maybe NCIS. Now the only ones that have a chance at that title are Criminal Minds* and maybe Numb3rs; the rest are all uniformly like “you want me to watch cases? about strangers? when I could instead just make the episodes 10 minutes long by reducing them to the important parts, i.e. regular-character personal moments??” (...I actually do still have pretty good memories of the cases on CSI: NY and Cold Case, but I digress)
*which I joined up with in season 8; still haven’t seen huuuuge swaths of the entire first half of the series
I guess I could say The Office, which is a rare blend of strong character/shipper moments and episodes I genuinely enjoy watching again in their entirety, but also, how can a sitcom (even a smart one) be my favorite show*?? (even though sitcoms make up the vast majority of “shows I can watch over and over,” I’ve ruled most of them out because Office is honestly one of the only ones where I have beloved characters, let alone ships. And my favorite show of all time HAS to come with an OTP, it just has to.)
*especially when I hate Michael Gary Scott with every fiber of my being, or at least 96% of them!
So now I’m like - oh god. Is it Glee? Maybe it’s Glee?? Has anything after that so thoroughly eaten my brain and made me happy watching both as whole episodes (season 666 not withstanding) and as short scene clips years after the fact, complete with fanfic consumption? But I am certainly too old for Glee to be my all-time favorite show, aren’t I? And/or too straight? How could my favorite show be one in which the heterosexual rep is less than 90% of the ships, and also not the best one.
Part of me genuinely thinks it could be Revolution, something smartly done but also action-packed that I have now watched 4 times in its entirety, and on which I have a top tier OTP to boot. Seems an odd choice for favorite, given that I don’t actually think I watch a lot of shows in this genre, but maybe? Same goes for Pushing Daisies.
Another part of me is in such a fannish fugue state right now that I’m like “OBVIOUSLY Blood and Treasure. OBVIOUSLY nothing has ever been better than this beautiful couple on this glorious cracky treasure-hunting ride,” but I’m too close to it right now to make a judgment call, given that I once had this same feeling about Zoo. (which was fun, mostly, but also no. definitely not my #1 fave. I haven’t watched so much as a scene clip since like, 2018)
Then there are a lot of single-season shows I loved, but single shows simply cannot be my favorite. No one remembers most of them, for one.
Maybe I would feel better if I made a top 10? Or if I listed my top 10 rewatchable sitcoms, deliberately excluded them, and then tried to list a top 10??
Spiraling!!
tl;dr SUPER JEALOUS RIGHT NOW OF ANYONE WHO KNOWS THEIR FAVORITE SHOW, OR EVEN TOP 3-5 SHOWS, OF ALL TIME.
p.s. I came across this lovely book in the library, What to Watch When: 1000 TV Shows For Every Mood and Moment, which very much impressed me with its organization, comprehensiveness and ability to deliver on the subtitle while spanning decades all the way up to 2020 -- and I gotta tell you that as much as I cherish this one’s content, I am also very tempted to write my own personalized version. I think that might be the only way I feel okay. “what if I told you my thousand favorite shows? *hands you a Tome*”
#honestly the real answer is just...I don't have one because I have watched too much good TV in my life#this is the best first world problem to have by the way#now I am genuinely curious to see if I can count how many TV series I have watched and loved or at least enjoyed in my life#if I haven't cracked a thousand yet then NEW BUCKET LIST ITEM BABY!#my favorite tv show#tagging so i can find it later

Maybe a little lesson on the sharingan 😇
sharingan is a unique dojutsu to the uchihas, only they can have it (excluding kakashi and danzo, later characters 😊) , with its first awakening having one tomoe (those commas you see inside the red pupils) and later evolved into two then three.
The three tomoe sharingan is what most advanced uchihas have, a very strong dojutsu comparable to the byakugan (that's a different lesson 😇). It has a lot of abilities, more notably enhancing the user's reflexes and awareness of their surroundings. And because uchihas are known for their fire kekkei genkai (fire release), the sharingan also enhanced their ability to create bigger stronger fire jutsus. Along with fire, the sharingan is also famous for their genjutsus (the jutsu that focuses on illusion) the stronger the user is, the more powerful their genjutsu affects their opponent. The next stage is...
The mangekyou sharingan (shortened: ms). Not a lot of the characters inside naruto was seen with an ms so it's super rare. It's really strong, and i mean REALLY strong. If you were to go against an opponent with an ms, just pray you go to heaven lol 😆. A normal 3 tomoe sharingan is already an A+ class threat, an ms is definitely only for S class shinobi. They have unique design and unique abilities to their wielder, no one has the same one. When someone acquired the ms, they also acquired the power to make a susanoo (a chakra made manifest shield impenetrable to physical and elemental attacks). How do you get the ms? A surge of emotion. Typically the death of the loved ones. The first person to get the ms actually murdered his friend to get this power. Grim 💀. This of course comes with a drawback, ms uses a lot of chakra just by activating it, and continuous uses can blind the user. You can restore your eyesight however with the next form,
The eternal mangekyou sharingan (shortened: ems). The highest form of the sharingan. There's one more form above it called the rinnegan, but that's like an anomaly, literally only the chosen one get that dojutsu. So ems is the pinnacle of power, it's too op and very super rare. Just TWO people ever gotten ems. Ems is gained through eye transplant of another ms user with strong blood ties (ideally your siblings) to your own. Like, ms + ms = ems 😅. Unlike ms, ems retain your ms abilities and demolishes all the drawbacks and negative side effects. You don't have to worry about going blind! Yay! 🥳
That's about it! So senju!hyun unfortunately cannot have her own sharingan or ms 😔 she still can give uchiha!tzu one by dying though 😅
More ideas i have in mind are; datzu in the chunnin exam, datzu going on mission as anbu special forces, datzu mercenary ninja x target
The possibility of datzu inside narutoverse is endless! And I'll be more than happy to help you understand more on the lores! 🫶🏻
-datzu
oh I'd read about these on the wiki too! or maybe more accurately, I skimmed it, bc I completely missed the part where sharingans were only genetically inherited by uchihas 😞😞💔 I'm slowly making my way through all the dojutsus though!
I'm sad the senju clan isn't active anymore so there isn't much lore abt them aside from the warring states period + early-konohagakure 😭 thank you for this rundown tho <3
I'm just gonna ignore more lore and simply decide senju!hyun possessed wood release then so she can be cooler 🥰 ik the senju clan specialised in a bunch of jutsus so??? maybe tzu wanted to learn more bc she couldn't wake her sharingan and befriended hyun idk! 👩❤️💋👩 this is all fictional so I'll just make things up screw it we ball 🙂↕️

What I don’t get is why all those collabs and remixes with mid/has been artists? JT and Usher now… hello, it’s not the early 2000’s anymore, I’m 30 and all for the nostalgic vibes usually but with those guys? What the heck is Hybe doing. Those artists need JK and BTS way more than he needs them. They should better focus on him solely. I’m so done with this obsession with toping the charts and awards and popularity contest, I get that he’s an artist and wants to be the best but as for me I don’t fucking care about it, I want good music with good concepts and good performances with JK only and screw the rest. Honestly, I know this is a matter of personal taste, but I feel like they should better come back to the roots of kpop. They have to secure the ‘k’, not get rid of it imo. Turning kpop into mainstream pop is a sure path to failure in the long run, but I’m just a kpop fan so who am I I guess.. as much as I was dreading this enlistment period, I hope the boys will be safe and that it will be a time for self reflection for them, especially JK who seemed a bit uncertain about the path to follow for his solo- I think his solo lacked a clear vision and concept, probably the result of his lack of inspiration in the first place. Sorry I’m rambling. That being said him enlisting with Jimin makes me feel better, I’m relieved they’ll have each other. I truly hope we’ll get to witness amazing music when they will all come back.
Well, JT and Usher aren't super popular anymore but they are still famous and somewhat relevant, and have access to different demographics - in JT's case, 30-40s (white) women who were his fans as teens and young adults, and, in Usher's case, I guess it's a similar age group, but also the black community as whole according to an anon. I don't like calling people has-beens although I pretty much called them that myself. In JT's case, his reputation is on the floor right now so it's like Jungkook is on the wrong side of the Britney vs. JT debate, and it's not exactly a good look (even Forbes questioned this collab and they write more flattering BTS articles than Weverse Magazine). With Usher, I don't know. It could be a better decision than I assumed but Usher is certainly not a trendy artist these days and those are the kind of artists that could help Jungkook a lot in the short term. Even Jack Harlow helped JK, simply because people know his name, he's White, and people are way less prejudiced to check out his music, and he also has access to places JK is kept out of despite JK being way more in demand. So, truly, all these artists help JK in some way, with some drawbacks (3D alternate version is a much better song and overall Armys were definitely disappointed in the collab), but there's also no denying there are a lot more impactful artists to have a collab with. I would argue that, of all the collabs, Latto was the best one they chose and I was not happy about it at first. I'm still not sure if the woman is a racist because I saw a few racist tweets about Asian women, which could be really old and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, but despite not being that famous, she is a) a woman, which in the music industry makes her more interesting right now, b) an up-and-coming rapper, which makes her seem like a more tasteful, music-oriented choice rather than a commercial one, and c) the fact that people don't really know her means no one is immediately put off seeing her name, which I'm sure cannot be said about the other three artists. So, Jungkook collabing with another rising star, perhaps one that has a current hit, would've arguably been a more interesting choice. I don't know, but I think JK's demographic doesn't mesh with JT and Usher fans? Their images don't mesh either? JK is a young, "rising" star, part of a very popular established group, so he needs to be associated with artists that are respected and have a fresh sound imo. I don't know... Ideally, he would partner with established artists with a fresh and current sound.
Putting the k back in kpop... I think English songs clearly do better internationally, but it's very hard for most groups to have a genuine impact abroad, so, to them, making English music only wouldn't help much. It would probably help BTS with the GP, since they are famous globally, but I don't TXT would overthrow even SKZ globally if they only made English tracks. In JK's case, because he's that big, an all English album helped, and, what's more, Koreans liked it, especially Korean celebs, and I think a lot of kpoppies loved it too. Kpop fans complain a lot about English music but usually like very Western kpop tracks (mostly as long as they are not from BTS)... I prefer kpop too, but the distinction between pop and kpop isn't that clear, and atp this debate is very useless and tired.
I think Jungkook didn't have a clear artistic vision for Golden, but he did have a clear vision of the kind of performance and vocals he wanted, as well as visuals and (maybe) impact. I don't think enlisting would change him and make him want to release a kpop-y album. It could be argued that he doesn't have very set opinions either way - English or Korean music is kind of the same to him in many ways, I think.
And, yeah, I'm glad Jikook are enlisting together, I hope they stay together the entire time...
