☾𝕄𝕆𝕆ℕ𝕃𝕀𝔾ℍ𝕋 BEAUTY ☾: 1 week to glow up

I really need a quick and simple glow up because I'm starting my job soon so I created a program to glow up in 1 week and really get to know myself and improve myself physically and mentally. You can do this program in 2 weeks or more if you want.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day 1: lunar preparation

★shadow work: It’s time to work on yourself, answer their questions to get to know yourself better.

1. What did my childhood need most?

2. What am I avoiding?

3. What am I addicted to?

4. What secrets am I hiding and why?

5. Am I honest with myself and others?

6. What are my biggest misconceptions about myself?

7. What are my biggest fears?

8. What should I give up?

9. Am I a victim of trauma? Have I done enough to heal?

10. What do I need to forgive myself for?

11. What lessons do I still need to learn?

12. What do I want most in this life?

13. What are the first signs you notice and know that your mental health is deteriorating?

14. Do I try to hide parts of myself from others? Why ?

15. What was I like when I was a child?

16. What's the worst way someone could describe you?

★moodboard: makes a Moodboard that reflects your aspirations and your inspirations that you can look at every morning; you can put it as a wallpaper or hang it on the wall.

★ Do a major cleaning: tidy your room, delete numbers, sort through your phone, sort through your series and films, social media and my playlist, cut off toxic people.

★make a list of all your goals, choose 4 big goals in your life and separate them into smaller goals to make them easier to achieve.

★create a morning and night routine: you can copy that of someone who inspires you or simply create your own.

★do 1 hour of sport per day

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day2:inner radiance

★ start Journaling: write down your thoughts, your emotions, your thoughts for the day and also positive affirmations.

★make a list of things you like about yourself

★become softer:

1. When someone calls you, first turn to the person and smile: This helps you to be gentler and more polite towards the person you are talking to and after smiling it gives you the opportunity to speak in a kinder tone.

2. think before you speak: this is very important when learning to speak softer because it gives you time to pay attention to the tone of your voice and also be careful with the things you say.

3. Avoid yelling at others out of frustration: Yelling is the most important thing you should avoid when trying to speak softer. When you're frustrated or going through a tough time, try doing something you enjoy to calm yourself down like music, drawing, etc. instead of taking it out on others. if someone tries to make you angry, politely tell them to stop and don't let your anger control you.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day3:educational brilliance

-listen to a podcast: I only listen to podcasts in French but if you don't like listening to podcasts you can watch videos from tam kaur, thewizardliz, simonesquared and more

-read a book: I recommend atomic habit, ikigai, the why cafe, the other books that I read are in French.

-learn a new language: on YouTube there are plenty of videos that you can find on the language of your choice.

-learn another skill: I chose to improve my computer skills but you can choose any skill it can be drawing, cooking whatever you want.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day4:celestial radiance

-work on self-love

-work on self-esteem

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day5:lunar dream

-spa day at home

-meditation

-listen to your favorite music

-watch your favorite series or films

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day6: lunar flight

-find your ikigai: that is to say your reason for being, explore your passions, your values and your talents to really find what motivates you here is an example:

-Black Swan mindset: the Black Swan mindset is about knowing your value and not letting others tell you your value, it is a mindset of trust and knowledge of your value.

* ੈ✩‧₊˚day7:moonlight beauty

become more feminine

1-have good posture: gives you more elegance, you seem taller and more confident.

2-smell good have a characteristic scent: could remind someone of you, smell good shows that you care about your hygiene.

3-Getting Your Nails Done: Getting your nails done could make you look confident and well-groomed.

4-style your hair: hair is a key point of your appearance and a good hairstyle could automatically make you even more beautiful.

5-wear jewelry: simple jewelry can enhance your outfit a lot and bring out your features.

things to do every day

☆ Workout

☆ Learn a new skill

☆ Listen to subliminals

☆ Meditate

☆ Read a book

☆ Do Journaling

☆ Listen to Podcasts

I'm going to start tomorrow and to stay organized and always have an idea of what I have to do I created a simple Notion if you want it's right here જ⁀➴

Jupiter in Taurus

Jupiter is finally in Taurus, now is the time when all those fast paced decisions and rewards with Aries energy will be solidified and made more permanent.

A/N: I am so excited because it is my Jupiter return which will happen in a week! Usually a Jupiter Return starts with things working against you in order to align you to your destined path.

Here is my short analysis on how transit Jupiter influences you based on the house its stationed in your chart. Please note this is just a general theme, situations may change due to Natal and other transit aspects.

-> Do not copy/plagiarize my work <-

1st House

Major glow up, feeling more encouraged to try out new things to change your appearance etc. Channeling a lot of self-love energy and focusing on self development.

2nd House

Lots of financial gains and benefits. You may even spend more on some luxury products or make significant investments. Your surrounding aesthetics and style may change.

3rd House

Your communication and speech will become more profound and you may read and write a lot of spiritual and enlightening stuff. Possibly reconnecting with your school friends, siblings and childhood friends.

4th House

You may either out of home or relocate. Familial bonds which don’t serve you anymore may either break or get better. You will feel more connected to your roots and feel inclined to learn more about your ancestral heritage.

5th House

You will want to have fun and truly romanticizing your life. You will get into a serious romantic relationship and/or meet your soul family. Creativity will be at its zenith during this period. Lots of opportunities and doors opening up for you.

6th House

Lots of new changes to your daily routine, health and dietary habits. Will get improvements in aspects related to job and money. Your productivity levels will be higher than usual so be sure to care for your mental health.

7th House

Your existing relationships will get much stronger and reach a new level of commitment such as marriage, living with your S.O. also possibly relocating depending on other aspects. You will also have favorable outcomes when it comes to legal/business matters.

8th House

Major spiritual awakening. You may feel very enlightened and focus on soul-searching. Getting into occult and esoteric practices. Lots of shadow work and healing yourself. Learning to be more intimate and vulnerable with your partner/yourself. Major Karmic cycles ending for you.

9th House

You may want to pursue higher education or learn something new. You may tend to question beliefs and traditions you were taught. Your optimism and outlook on life is unmatched. You can settle abroad or migrate for work/studies. Lots of traveling in general and meeting foreigners.

10th House

Rise in career and social status. You may work or meet very impactful and powerful people. You will gain recognition for your hard-work and achievements.

11th House

A very social year! Joining a friend group or being part of a large community. Can meet your platonic soulmates/soul tribe.

12th House

Spiritual transformation and massive change of your own beliefs. Connecting to your higher self. Betrayals and hidden enemies coming to light but in a more of blessing in disguise.

Dear honey ,I love you blog it’s so cute and helps me with my health.

Three questions please

how to stop felling insecure ?

How to have a healthy lifestyle, physically, ‘mentally emotionally and spiritually?

YouTubes and Podcast you recommend

thank you xoxo🌸

thank u so much for the amazing questions, also, THE VISION BOARD IS SO GOOD <33333 thank u for loving my blog that means the world to me. now unto ur three AMAZING questions;

INSECURITY - when it comes to insecurity there's a vast amount of places that u can start but the first place to start is your mouth. what comes out of ur mouth is a reflection of who you are. ppl that are smart will build opinions on u based on what comes out of ur mouth. ur words have POWER, dont let ur negative words become ur reality. speak positively on urself, STOP the negative self talk, dont make urself the topic of jokes and dont ever EVER speak negatively about yourself. bcuz even if ur like "its just a joke" you will subconsciously start to believe it.

stop comparing urself to others, the only competition is between the person u are today, and the person that u were yesterday. practicing self care is so good for ur mental and physical well-being. it can give u a sense of confidence, but ultimately the confidence that'll last will come from within u and that will RADIATE. practice saying no and put urself first ALWAYS. (self concept work is also super helpful when ur building ur confidence)

i want u to get to the root cause of ur insecurity, and why u feel that way. for some ppl they are insecure bcuz of the way that they look, or the way that they talk, the way people perceive them, it could be a LOT of different factors that contribute to why u feel insecure but i just want u to identify them. then DISMANTLE them. flip the narrative. for example if ur insecure about ur looks; you'd take a hard look at urself in the mirror and i can GUARANTEE that you are BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. start looking for things that u love and like and MAXIMIZE on those things. tell urself constantly that ur gorgeous and it'll become a belief. if ur surrounded by ppl who constantly belittle u then u need a new circle of ppl to surround urself with.

(ik that this is SUCH a long paragraph but i can elaborate on it further in a separate post if its something that u wanna discuss more)

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE - im separating this into parts

physically - start moving. it could be doing pilates or yoga, or literally just taking a walk but u should just be MOVING. fueling ur body with nutritious foods and staying hydrated. taking care of ur health by eating balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. listening to ur cravings, taking care of ur skin and ur hair and ur nails etc etc. taking care of urself from head to toe and from the inside out. once u prioritize ur physical and like, self care you will look and feel SO GOOD

mentally - listen to podcasts and consume content that makes u feel good about urself and pushes u to become the best version of urself. sleep can greatly improve ur mental state, stimulate ur mind and cultivate ur passions and talents. educate urself (knowledge is powerful) about anything that interests u and the world around u. PAY ATTENTION IN SCHOOL (if ur in school) and constantly stay in a place of learning. surround urself with people who are diverse and whose experiences and worldviews are different from yours so that u can learn from others.

emotionally - start journaling, when u feel emotions, identify them and take care of urself accordingly, meditate and become more mindful of urself and those around u. if u have the means, invest in therapy, however if u dont, start journalling, doing shadow work, and we have SO MANY resources to start our healing journeys. like youtube for example. take advantage of that <3

spiritually - if ur talking about religious spirituality, then read ur religious texts and study that so that u can grow and get deeper in ur faith. start making time to pray as many times a day as u should, and focusing on building a relationship with the god/gods that u believe in. watching content from people who share the same faith and religion as you can help u become more confident in ur religious identity AS YOU SHOULD BE <333 if ur not talking about religious spirituality..

start meditating and take part in other mindful practices, avoid negative people and negative energies, connect with nature and the world around u, cultivate gratitude, if u feel like u should u should def invest in some crystals and things of that nature. i dont know much about spirituality in this specific sense so please feel free to teach or add onto this in the comments so that we can all learn from each other <3

Forgot to post it...

I know that I should be more invested in deep cover, but it's so overwhelming and my brain is not working greatly today, so I'm just going to state some of my thoughts about the new timeline conversation.

The fact that Mahiru is still very injured, despite being at the end of the trial, gives another great point for the theory that the time is stopped, or is going very slowly. Meaning that, as I predicted before, Mahiru and Fuuta will still be injured in the third trial. Also it's very alarming because any injury sustained can't be healed.

Secondly, I don’t think Fuuta will be fully converted. Yes, the implications are pretty much there, but… I don't think he will act the same way as Amane. See the difference between his conversation and Amane's conversation with Mahiru and how she reacts to them. It's a nice parallel actually.

Amane asks Mahiru how her body is feeling, directly implying the physical injuries. Fuuta, however, asks her if she's doing alright… I think he is talking about both her mental and physical health.

If we take again the theory that the time in Milgram doesn't pass, it might make sense for Fuuta to wonder "How can she be truly saved", because I don't think living a life in which you need constant treatment and your body hurts, it's really great…

It might also be a reason for why Fuuta seems so hopeless actually (his injuries should still hurt too) , I could say that the fire in him slowly extinguishes more and more… (really concerned for him, it feels like we are losing him more and more)

Moreover, he doesn't seem hostile about treatment in general, at least, not now… It's definitely a different reaction than Amane's.

About the mental health part … Fuuta stated in his VD that the voices that he hears are the ones who damaged his well being the most. His mental health wasn't great for a long time, and I don't think Mahiru's was great either, if not it got worse.

Mahiru's answer implies that "she feels saved" just by Fuuta's kindness…

Injuries can't be treated by words, but your mental state can improve a bit… And being approached by the person who you have considered to be a bully, who distanced themselves from the other prisoners for a long time, to see them coming to you and ask you about your well-being…

Of course, this is also Mahiru's way of lifting up the mood and being considerate of Fuuta's kindness.

Also, kindness… Is Fuuta trying to show that he can become a better person? Is this a new way of trying to be a "hero", to "save" people?

"Bringing back the cocky hero again? How embarrassing"

#milgram #thoughts #milgram fuuta #fuuta kajiyama #Although he is not really cocky anymore #just thought it was fitting with that lyric from deep cover.

The State of Things Present

this post was available for patrons a week early! please consider supporting me over on patreon!

I kept trying to make this post fancier and better and more engaging, and then I realized I was doing that thing where I make myself too overwhelmed to actually finish and post it. The other thing was I kept gunning for a once-a-week posting, and uh… yeah that's not sustainable. So here we go!

The Ghost of Spacefarer Present appears before you He whispers, very quietly, yet in a voice that resonates: "Time to resurrect the Spacefarer"

Ok so the spacefarer (me??) was very tired, but he's awake now and doing things!

Life status

We moved! My wife and kids and I packed up and headed some miles south of our previous house. It was a risk for sure. We didn't know how things would pan out. We really needed to get away from our old environment, our old town, our old house. We loved that house, and we'd said so to each other many times even as we were halfheartedly searching for a new one. But at some point that house had become too burdened with bad memories and traumas, not to mention that after the pandemic, we had no more real roots there. Everyone had moved away, the communities we were involved with had disbanded or changed. And anyway, my wife would be starting a new teaching job down south.

We were fortunate enough to find a new house we loved, and fortunate enough to be in a position where we could actually make the move. I'm aware this is a privilege, given the economy and the market, and so I can only express my thankfulness and consider it a blessing, especially as we healed through our grief.

I have an improved office now! This is where I work on my day job (software/web dev) and my unday job (Studio Spacefarer). With my genetics stacked against me, but also with my desire to be able to keep up with my kids and be there for my family, I collected a standing desk, a walking pad treadmill thing, and an ergonomic keyboard. I'm walking or at least standing most of the day now, which has made a surprising difference already.

I was gonna post a wider view of the office, but my 3yo son ran up while I was taking pictures and started "working" (mashing the keypad), so this is automatically the better pic. Them's the rules.

Anyway, in short, we made it, and it hasn't been a smooth ride the entire time, but it has been well worth it. I've been able to get back into gamedev, which has been a huge boon to my mental health too.

Speaking of… (ghostly drumroll)

Game status!

The good stuff. Here's where I'm at presently with Episode III!

The game is completable from start to end (definitely NOT feature complete)

Jumping, swimming, and dashing all work like a charm and are super fun

Three enemy types have been added, including custom A* pathfinding for the sea monster

Two new collection mechanics (one is heart containers, the other will be a small surprise)

Depth sorting and fake-3D, as mentioned previously, which lets me do lots of fun effects

Day/night are now on a new system, and cave darkness is now a thing (I tried to implement this in PD2 but couldn't figure it out)

Palette swapping for night and lighting effects now uses GameMaker's built in layer effects

Much of the game is now decorated

Updated the game's palette to be more pleasing

Better borderless windowed mode, frame toggling, etc. (I'd made a post about a third party plugin I used to do this previously, but not long after that, GameMaker added an official setting to be toggleable at runtime, so I switched to that… much easier lol)

New audio library which has been a MASSIVE boon (Juju's Vinyl)

New flexible debug/inspector mode which allows me to change values on the fly more easily

State machine rewrite using structs instead of data structures--extremely flexible and less error-prone (in fact the data structures here were the #1 cause of crashes in Episodes I and II)

Save system rewrite, also using structs instead of data structures (thus fixing the #2 cause of crashes in the first two episodes)

Adjusted the way walls get displayed in interiors--will make a post on this later

Lots and lots and lots and lots of bug fixes

Post end status!

I'm not exactly sure how to wrap this up lol, but y'all can be encouraging me, if you have the emotional space to do so! There's still a lot left to do on PD3, and it can be very daunting at times.

Next post up will be looking forward to the future of Studio Spacefarer. I'm very excited about this! Keep an eye out!

Mental health diagnoses are capitalist constructs

“Mental and physical diagnoses aren’t objective facts that exist in nature, even though we usually think of them this way. While the experiences and phenomena that fall under different diagnostic categories are, of course, real, the way that we choose to categorise them is often influenced by systems of power. The difference between ‘health’ and ‘illness’, ‘order’ and ‘disorder’ is shaped by which kinds of bodies and minds are conducive to capitalism and the state. For example, the difference between ‘ordinary distress’ and ‘mental illness’ is often defined by its impact on your ability to work. The recent edition of the DSM, psychiatry’s comprehensive manual of ‘mental disorders’, mentions work almost 400 times – work is the central metric for diagnosis.

“When we look across history, it becomes even more obvious that diagnosis is tied to capitalist metrics of productivity: certain categories of illness have come in and out of existence as the conditions of production have changed. In the 19th century, the physician Samuel A. Cartwright proposed the diagnosis of ‘drapetomania’, which would describe enslaved Black people who fled from plantations. While we might think of drapetomania as a historical outlier among ‘true’ and ‘objective’ diagnoses, it is underpinned by the same logic as other diagnoses: it describes mental or physical attributes that make us less exploitable and profitable. In the 1920s, medical and psychological researchers became interested in a pathology called ‘accident-proneness’, which was applied to workers who were repeatedly injured in the brutal and dangerous factory conditions of the industrial revolution. Dyslexia, a diagnosis I have been given, also didn’t emerge until the market began to shift from manual labour towards jobs that relied on reading and writing, when all children were expected to be literate. Despite having problems with reading, I understand that in a world where reading and writing weren’t so central to our daily life, there would be no need to name my dyslexia, no need to diagnose it.

“As a system of state power, many of us rely on diagnosis to get the material things that we need to survive in the world. When illness or disability interferes with our ability to work, we often need a diagnosis to justify our lack of productivity – and for some, diagnosis is the necessary pathway to getting state benefits. If we want to get access to medication, treatment or other healing practices provided by the state, diagnosis is also the token that we need to get there. This is made all the more complicated by the fact that doctors have the power to dispense and withhold diagnoses, regardless of our personal desires. When it comes to psychiatric diagnosis, most of us know someone who has had to fight or wait for years for a diagnosis that would improve their quality of life – particularly in the realm of autism, ADHD and eating disorders. The internalised racism, sexism, classism or ableism of doctors often gets in the way of our ability to access the diagnoses that we want and need. Then there are those of us that are given diagnoses that we reject, a process that we also have no say in ...

“When we understand that psychiatric diagnoses are constructed, contested, and aren’t grounded in biological measures, the idea of ‘self-diagnosis’ starts to feel less dangerous or controversial. Self-diagnosis is grounded in the idea that, while the institution of medicine may hold useful technologies and expertise, we also hold valuable knowledge about our bodies and minds. I know many people who have found solace and respite in communities for various diagnoses, even if they don’t have an official diagnosis from a doctor. These spaces, which respect the wisdom offered by lived experience, can be valuable forums of knowledge-sharing and solidarity. Self-diagnosis also pushes against an oppressive diagnostic system that is so centred around notions of productivity.”

5 months!! on testosterone and 27 days till my mastectomy

some things ive noticed in the last month:

-still pain in my throat from the voice changes, both randomly and when i overuse or raise it.

-the hair on my chest is also getting longer and thicker, cant call it chest hair yet, but its doing something

-the hair on my sideburns and chin is slowly becoming thicker and more visible

-ive been exersizing again cause i really couldnt keep waiting till i got more energy again, because t has been making me really tired. also my surgery results are better when i work out my chest so thats a really good motivator. ive noticed my stamina improving faster and especially my legs have been getting slimmer (?) i think. i did have the most horrible backpain the first weeks but its gone now.

-my mental health has really been improving, i survived a really stressful exam week mentally better than i ever have i think.

also im just so excited for my top surgery, i already bought new pj's with buttons in the front so i can actually dress myself after surgery. these small preperations just bring me so much joy. i cant wait. im curious how my body will respond given ive never had surgery before, but were just gonna have to find that out.

the only downside is that i cant get piercings in the meantime cause i gotta take all my piercings out for surgery and i dont want a hurting piercing and chest. its better tbh my industrial and eyebrow still havent completely healed.

the 29th i have a call with my surgeon about the specific technique i want and am getting so ill update after that!!

Random Susie hc time

bursts down the door violently killing 2 people instantly

I love Susie and I also love brainrotting over my hcs for her. So for once I will be sharing some of those hcs! Everything is under the cut for ease of access.

First of all, anyone who has followed me longer than 2 seconds will know how much I love my shark Haltmann hc. I don't care that I make him look completely different from canon or tumblr sexymanified, he's a literal loan shark in my heart and I love him. in my verse, Haltmann is a type of alien called 'sonar sharks' that originate from a Subnautica-esque planet covered in 95% water. This planet is Haltmann's home planet and is very technologically advanced despite society being primarily underwater. A lot of sonar sharks live on this planet and are one of the major species there.

Sonar sharks are naturally extremely bulky (I mean look at that guy) and very physically powerful. They are extremely voracious as they have to eat a LOT to keep up their weight and overall health. Not eating enough can make their health and mental state deteriorate rapidly.

Where does Susie come into the picture here? She's Haltmann's daughter but looks almost nothing like him. While I hc her mother was a different species than Haltmann (the same species as the mage sisters, in fact) Susie seemingly possesses none of the natural heftiness that Haltmann has whatsoever.

My hc is that she SHOULD have at least some of the chub Haltmann has - she just never got the chance to develop it properly. Every Kirby fan and their mothers know how her backstory goes, she was whisked away into Another Dimension as a child. In my verse, she was 12 when that happened, at an age where she was only a few years away from putting on more natural weight like her father.

In Another Dimension, she was teleported to a remote location away from any nearby society that could have offered her food - dropped off in the middle of the wilderness essentially. And here she had to fight to survive near constantly - which included fighting for food. It was hard to come by, so she didn't always have a lot of it, and ended up having to ration it the best she could.

Even when she made it back to society in this dimension, most of her time was occupied by working with anyone she could there to find a way home, back to her father.

And we all know how that must've turned out when she finally got home...

So. Working at the HWC, with a PLETHORA of food available, she still rationed her eating out of habit from all her years stuck in the wilderness of a foreign dimension. To add to this, she constantly lived under the stress of the expectations of the dictatorship-like company, as well as anxiety about the plan she was putting into place (her plan to steal Star Dream).

As a result from barely eating during teenhood, a critical time for growing, as well as living under so much stress and repression that she barely ate, Susie has been eating irregularly for over 10 years in my verse. As such, she's very thin for being part sonar shark, as well as rather runty compared to her father.

Luckily, post-Planet Robobot, after working and working to make amends with Dreamland, Susie is able to start healing emotionally in my AU, as well as physically. She starts learning to eat more (with help from Kirby ofc) and slowly but surely, starts putting on her natural weight. This improves her health considerably - she would often get sick a lot, but on the HWC they had systems to combat sickness she would use. Nowadays she doesn't need to worry about that as she doesn't become ill nearly as much. She's considerably less snappy, and her mental attitude about various things has improved for the first time since childhood.

Does she still have trauma and struggle with a lot of shit? YES very much so. but in my verse, she is happier, healthier and healing, which is very important to me for a character like her.

If you read this to the end CONGRATS and thank you so much for hearing my insane rambles :)

🐺: Now that I think about it, I actually think I've lived with Changbin the longest. We were roommates. TRUE?

🐷🐇: that's right

🐺: We shared the same room twice and now the same bedroom, and we are next to each other

💬How do you spend your holidays?

🐷🐇: I chose this question for BangChan

🐺: How to spend the holidays?... I think that the holidays are a time that you can spend however you want, depending on how you want to spend it, but in my case, even on my days off, I usually plan everything

🐺: and each of my days off, whether to go to the dermatologist, exercise, games, bench, etc.

🐺: Finally, our ambitions for 2024!

💬 We announce our aspirations for 2024 🐺: First, let me show you Changbin and I's aspirations!

🐺: I will read it to you "What do I want to do every day?" I tried to express my aspiration to exercise every day without fail. Because, as Changbin-sensei knows very well

🐺: okay, I'll continue exercising, right? I think it will be very difficult, so I decided to try to overcome this difficulty

🐷🐇: Sounds good, it's a good mentality 🐺: Which one is Changbin's?

🐷🐇: "Take care of my health and become even cooler!"

🐺: It seems that your ambition is

🐺: become even cooler

🐷🐇: My goal is to "become even cooler while maintaining good health" It really takes a lot of effort

🐺: That's right, that's right

🐷🐇: I will try to do my best 🐺: I hope Changbin is healthy

🐷🐇: Thanks big brother

🐺: Shall I sign here then?

🐷🐇: Yes, Sign with the feeling that you will protect it at all costs...

🐺: It feels like a stamp.... I also wrote a beautiful signature ~

🐺: ok! We will also do our best to achieve our aspirations, so let's do our best together with STAY this year!

My universe

Real name: Unknown (her public name is Kuromi Kintsugi, but her real name is kept secret).

Age: at the start of the story 17, in this momment 19/20.

Pronouns: she/her.

Sexual orientation: Bisexual, demisexual.

Quirk: video game character

This quirk gives its owner the main abilities of a battleroyale video game character, such as the ability to use and store different types of weapons, create barriers, have maps of the place where they are, a control menu where statistics are shown, like physical state, remaining battery, etc. She also has the ability to regenerate at small levels, and can also help heal other people through her blood, which would work as a "healing potion". There are 10 levels, the usser levels up by completing missions, which consist of winning battles, completing exercises, and things like that, unlocking a level unlocks 10 new weapons and improves some skills from previous levels. The levels are differentiated not only by the name but also by the "skin" which is noticeable in the figures that light up in the eyes, the horns or headsets made of pixels, and sometimes in the form of bright marks on the skin. Weapons, barriers and screens are made of pixels, which come out of the body, in the case of weapons, these come out of compartments that come out from under the skin when the bearer decides to use them, the rest of the time these compartments are not visible nor can they be felt. fire weapons have three types of bullets, real and expanding bullets, rubber bullets, and special bullets, which are essentially like sleeping darts that only work when the bullet hits the target's head.

The weaknesses of this quirk are the loss of battery, the loss of blood and the same physical damage that is generated by opening and closing many compartments

in general, it's a flashy quirk that is great to capture villains without the need to damage the stage too much or have long dangerous fights, if this quirk is used carefully, it can be really usefull.

The story

Clarification: more than an Oc she is an idealized version of what I would like to be if I were part of the bnha universe, this is a brief summary of her life story, which obviously is not totally like mine but in which I represent (in a fantastic and more bnha-like) situations in my life that marked me, I would really appreciate it if you didn't throw hate at me, since it is a way of airing my problems and in a certain way escaping from my reality. I struggle with certain health issues, both fisical and mental, i need to use diferent medicines and i'm still being studied to give me a complete diagnosis of my illneses, things aren't exactly easy, so please be nice to me, i don't intent to pass this as canon, and isn't something that happens in the canonic mha universe, this is pure fantasy, only a fictional work.

in a world in where 80% of the population has manifested a quirk, there have to be regulations to keep people safe, to my bad luck I was born in a poor and dangerous area, full of villains, in which the heroes didn't intervene much, despite the problems and how difficult life was, I was a happy girl with illusions and a dream, but all that ended when at the age of 5 I manifested my quirk "videogame character" the teachers who witnessed the first time it manifested, considered it extremely dangerous, since in a world full of even more dangerous powers, weapons are still something to fear, they called the corresponding authorities, but to pay for the security and quirk control protocols, I had to say goodbye to the one I consider my only dream

life did not become easier, my health was not good, the economic situation did not improve either and at 10 years old I had to learn to evade the security protocols to be able to use my quirk to earn some money. loneliness consumed me and depression began to crush me, without realizing it, every day I was closer to graduating from school, which means choosing what you will do to support yourself throughout your life, I had no idea what I would do, finally I felt that I had no way to move on.

But life was the one that made the decision, when I got into a fight with a dangerous villain while trying to save a child, the news spread, without exposing my identity since i was a minor, but the only ones who managed to find me were the superiors of the supernatural division of the Japanese army, the ones in charge of training and employing those who were born with quirks too powerful to be ignored, but too dangerous to work in other areas.

When I arrived in Japan, I was happy to no longer live in a place surrounded by so much violence. The trainings were terribly hard since they had to "catch me up with the others", at first it was too much for me, but one day, I saw someone, someone totally opposite to me "I promise to be number 1" someone with such confidence and determination to achieve his goals, could I one day be like him?, I don't know what happened, but i felt determinated to do my best in everything that i wanted to do. I still felt bad, but at least I didn't have to worry about money anymore, the missions were dangerous, my personal life and relationship with my family continued being terrible, at least the medicines helped me, life continued normal, until the war against shigaraki and AFO began.

Bnha manga spoilers ahead!

at first we were not allowed to intervene, until in an act of desperation the hero commission asked us to go to the battlefield, me and my team arrived at the stadium where shigaraki was, and this is where katsuki's story and the mine intertwined

After an arduous battle we managed to emerge victorious, despite this most of us had to be transferred to the same hospital, katsuki and I began to interact there, until we became friends, after months of recovery, the school year finally began , I thought that I would never see him again due to how different our work fields are, but the UA and my superiors reached an agreement, and I started studying in the second year with class A.

from the beginning the two of us connected very well, he considered me someone trustworthy, I suppose that having been together in such a dangerous situation helped us to form that bond, I supported him to be able to overcome everything that had happened to him, despite the little time that we had known each other I think we got to know each other more deeply than with any other person. I have always had problems adapting to social environments, so when I entered the UA I was very lucky to be in the same class, he helped me a lot. Time passed and slowly we both started to develop romantic feelings for each other, although we were both too dumb to realize it, and when we did it was hard, we both didn't know what the other felt and we were afraid of ruining our friendship, we had to go through another situation that put our lives in danger so that we could confess what we feel, since then we have been together, not everything is perfect, but we support each other, we take care of each other, we understand each other, we are happy together and it will be that way forever.

Time passed and despite the fact that there are still conflicts to resolve and things to improve as a society, definitely everything is better, today we are all graduated and working as professional heroes, Dynamight created his own hero agency, in which I work as a hero, he's the number one hero on the hero charts, i'm the number 9, most of class A are still friends, the future is bright, despite all the hard times we've had, things are fine, and always will be...

The relationship

We dated for a year and a half until he asked me to marry him for the first time, although that was more a confession of his wishes and strong feelings than an official commitment. We got seriously engaged 4 months after graduating and got married 3 months after the engagement, our anniversary is October 31st.

Our relationship is based on trust, communication, respect and the immense love we have for each other. Although sometimes we argue, we always manage to solve everything. For different reasons we both decided not to have children, but we have a cat that we love like one.

We share many tastes and interests. Many times we work together on missions and we are partners on patrol, our career as heroes is very good. We know each other well and we respect each other, we would never do anything that would hurt or annoy the other.

We are sure that we are soul mates.

We are happier than we imagined we could ever be.

Final notes (by the usser)

Again, this is a fictional story far from the canon, that is why the characters have already grown up (not so much since I am terrible at making mature faces) I also know that romantic relationships are not normally like that in real life, this it's pure fantasy, it's just something that makes me happy, I really started to create all this because I wanted to show katsuki being happy. I am not planning to write my little au in more detail, since I dedicate myself to only making drawings, I just wanted to write this section to have my blog a little more organized and so that if someone is interested in knowing something about this, they can understand it. if you think this type of content is wrong, or you don't like it, just ignore it and block my blog, you don't have to tell me, but if you like it, you're more than welcome to stay, I want this to be a happy internet corner and a safe place for all, finally, thank you very much to all who follow and support me, to all those who like my art for some reason, this is a personal project and a hobby that makes me very happy, so you can not imagine how happy it makes me too se so many positive backlash after my content, love ya'll ❤️

A bit of a rant here on main lol. Proceed at your own risk.

I’ve recently been going through a bit of healing and discovery about myself now that I finally have some time to process. It’s not a normal or fun thing for me to do to say the least. I’m a very closed off, private person who’s only just now understanding aspects of myself and working through about a decade and a half of trauma which has resulted in chronic health issues and a lot of mental ones too. I have a caregiver’s body at a young age, broken and failing before 30. It’s definitely not at all what I thought my life was gonna turn out to be, and although it’s certainly not been all bad (my career has made some wonderful strides this year, and parts of my health are improving), it’s been harder than I ever imagined.

Early this year was kinda the last straw for a lot of reasons. And because I was entirely too busy to deal with it I did what I do best: compartmentalize and box up the hell out of it. Unfortunately (for everyone) I’ve been developing healthier and better coping mechanisms which means that ain’t as easy as it used to be. A part of me I closed off a long time ago got torn open and left empty which is always exactly what someone like me just loves. And this time I found myself unable to close it again.

Long story (sorta) short, I had a mental epiphany/existential crisis/breakdown after randomly texting something to my friend and I realized “hmm, maybe I’m not keeping it together as well as I thought”. That forced me to take a minute and seriously start to figure this shit out.

So I sat down and talked to my friend (who is honestly the best for listening to my rants, I don’t know how they put up with me) and started processing everything as they recommended.

The process is taking a long time. It’s not like I can just sit down with my brain and be like “so tell me what’s wrong” and then we solve it before my afternoon writing session. It’s not like my brain even works perfectly all the time. But I’m trying despite it all, despite my neurodivergent brain and my health being uncooperative, and me barely understanding any of it, I’m trying.

And what’s the biggest thing that’s helped me in this? Well it’s two things actually. Some stories written by my best friend (same friend who listens to my rants on text, in person….) and a little sci-fi show.

I’ve talked about her here before, but my friend writes some of my favorite stories with some of my favorite tropes and themes. But also they’re very healing. Two in particular have kinda become a regular reread. The characters are relatable and real and I’m able to connect to the MC’s because of their pain, their struggles to survive in a world not made for them, and how they navigate the challenges of failing health in a fallen world. Happy Thought and Light The Way Back Home help me heal and process through these characters eyes, with all the magic and bravery of a fairytale. I read them when I’m hurting, when I feel useless or alone and they help me feel not so alone in the world, so I’m rereading them right now while I’m working through things.

And then along came Stargate Atlantis. Obviously I’ve talked about it a lot recently but this show was not something I planned on adoring so completely. And it was certainly not something that I planned on bringing me to my existential crisis and forcing myself to deal with it at the worst time lol.

But through it I’ve both grown and learned a lot about myself. I’ve become more myself and I’ve healed and worked through trauma because of it.

Through the show I’m once again remembering the value of finding a family, a home that doesn’t always include blood but most definitely warmth and love. Through Sheppard I’m learning that I shouldn’t deal with things on my own, that loyalty and bravery is important and you can rely on others. That the pain that you feel isn’t just a solitary experience and you don’t have to bear the world on your shoulders by yourself. That it isn’t your fault.

And through my dear Rodney I’m reminded that I’ll be loved despite my flaws, that you can be brave and true despite your worst impulses and you can keep trying and failing and trying again because it’s so hard but worth so much. And maybe, just maybe, you can be your weirdest, loudest self and be accepted for it anyway. Because of the show I’ve opened up more, laughed louder, cried more, and I’m realizing the importance of healing and love and a true family. A real one.

I’ve joked that I’m in my “villain era” but I think it’s just me being more of who I am and not what people expect, to create healthy goals and barriers and separate myself from the narrative of some of my family’s problems. I’m speaking up more for myself, which is causing some truly hilarious moments (I’m literally Rodney complaining sometimes it’s both funny and annoying I know) and I’m letting people in, letting myself be more vulnerable and open and not closing off the dangerous and hurt parts of me. I’m letting my wounds out into the sunlight and letting it heal instead of fester alone in the dark. I’m letting go, or trying to, and finding the value of the things to cling to. I’m trying.

And I’m writing again. I haven’t written in quite a well. I’ve edited a whole lot, but nothing new has come to mind. Until this all spiraled out and I decided to say “to hell with it, I’ll just put everything into this book”. It’s become a memoir (in a fantasy,steampunk, post ww2 way, of course) and helped me work through some issues that can only be explained in words on paper.

ALL of this very, very long post (I’m sorry/not sorry) to say that you can learn about yourself at any stage in life, that sometimes things don’t always turn out how they should (and it’s okay), that healing comes only in love and patience and light and that family doesn’t start or end with blood but it’s important, so important to find one. To never stop trying even when it feels useless.

And stories. Stories can mend and save and grow and teach and change. Stories can drag you into the light and they can help you become whole again. They can make you a better person, if you let them. So let them.

Special thanks to the author of the books mentioned, the dragger into the craziness that is SGA and helping me rant and heal and process and mentoring me through stories and writing and sharing. @lightthewaybackhome it’s been a blessing. And a real joy. I definitely wouldn’t have gotten here without you.

And I’m sorry for the Mckayness of me, it’s only gonna get worse I fear.

EXCEPT IT'S WEDNESDAY BECAUSE I DO WHAT I WANT

Anyways, this is meant to be an opportunity for writers to do a "behind the scenes" look at one of their fanfics, something I've wanted to do for a while. I'm choosing Left Behind, my story about Taimi and Marjory becoming friends while recovering from Balthazar, because not only is it my first posted fanfic and one I still love, but because GOOD LORD does it have a story behind it.

So here's the tale: I wrote this thing in October of 2022, shortly after essentially dropping out of college. COVID had knocked me flat on my ass both mentally and physically, so I was still recovering from a pretty severe health crisis/depressive episode and had very little to do with my life. I'd started writing fiction again after a few years of not doing it at all. And then my uncle calls me up and says, "Hey, I'm going to Europe for three weeks, I know you're not busy, would you like to catsit my two kittens while I'm gone? I'll pay you." Obviously, I jumped at the chance to cuddle cute fluffy animals and earn money for it. Easy, right?

WRONG. First off, these kittens were not tiny fluffballs, they were five-month-old former-stray terrors that hadn't been fixed yet and still had tons of nervous energy. They caused chaos whenever I wasn't watching. Second, it took all of half a week for them both to somehow get sick with gonorrhea (honestly, they'd probably had it before and the symptoms just hadn't shown up yet). If you've never had to deal with two hyperactive, aggressively cuddly kittens with diarrhea ... be thankful. It was a disaster. Between taking them to the vet, giving them medicine regularly, cleaning up after them, and making sure they didn't break anything important, I wound up over at my uncle's house way more than I'd expected. Eventually, I just started dragging my laptop along so I could sit on the couch and write for hours while keeping the little fuzzy troublemakers in the corner of my eye.

I'd had the idea for Left Behind for a while - ever since I'd heard that little achievement line where Taimi mentions that Marjory's been calling her a lot and, "it seems like she's kinda lonely." (Which like, Marjory? Lonely? What? But then it clicked for me that she's not only alone, she's alone and injured, and she's probably feeling frustrated about not being able to do anything, much like Taimi has felt over several arcs, and ohhhhh... I can make them friends.) But I'd also be deluding myself if I said that nothing about my situation while writing bled into my work. I mean, I certainly had a good perspective on how much medicine sucks, and how hard being a caretaker can be, especially when the people (or cats) you're taking care of aren't cooperating! There are references to Taimi and Marjory being up at ungodly hours because I was up at ungodly hours trying to find the very small, pitch-black kitten who was hiding in the house somewhere because she really did not want to take her medicine. Some of the more out-there comedy is definitely influenced by that sleep deprivation as well.

But on a more serious note: I think the reason why my first posted story is at it's core about recovery and finding camaraderie in that recovery is because those were the things I needed at the time too. I mentioned that in October I was just starting to come out of a nasty depressive episode? I do mean just starting. I didn't feel good, I merely felt not terrible, which was a significant improvement but still didn't feel like enough. I think, consciously or not, I put a lot of my own hopes, wants, and frustrations into these characters. Hidden in Marjory's rage at feeling useless are a lot of my own frustrations about how my depressed brain simply wouldn't let me do things sometimes. In Taimi's fear of being forgotten are my own anxieties about how in taking a break from college I'd ruined my whole future. And their entire story of healing, growing closer, and finally moving on was what I wanted for myself most at that moment: a way out, a new start, and people who could understand and help me through all of that.

I wrote that entire fic over the three weeks I was catsitting, fending off kittens who wanted to step on my keyboard and chew my laptop wires the whole time. I finished a few days before my uncle was due to come home from Europe, and I was so exhausted and annoyed at that point, I was just like, "You know what, FINE, this is pretty good, why don't I post it." So I did, and then I went to go give the cats their meds and fall asleep, and when I woke up the next day there were 11 comments waiting for me, and I learned that people actually might like my writing and what I had to say. And now here we are 8 months later, I'm in a much better place, I've got a little community of friends and people who like my stuff, and writing has been a valuable hobby that brings me accomplishment and happiness. All because of my uncle's sick kittens xD

This got long, but it was a story I've wanted to tell for a while, so as always: thank you for reading.

Hello my name is Dalia

My exchange general reading for your 2024 year:

First of all when I was reading you I felt like you have lots of uncertainty or feeling rather lonely or people don’t understand how u feel deeply like I can see you being present w people but still feeling sometimes not completely their or dissociate I think you also may sometime look for other ways to forget these feelings but it just end up making u feel overwhelmed I just feel your drained right now and not rlly sure on what the future holds, I honestly see a new beginning happening but in order for this ti happen you need to heal and let go from people that don’t serve u right I think whatever 2023 gave u will benefit u in learning a lesson and growing in 2024 u will learn to focus on ur self and put more work on u and to leave the bad negative people or things behind. This year might be not the most bright but it will be healing u will slow your self to be the queen of wands you are the confident outspoken go getter u will be build back it will be a mental battle but u will really work hard to heal and and learn how to live your self and cherish yourself . In conclusion I see this year is for you to learn to prioritize your self more and have faith and hope more , it will be quite challenging with ups and down but you will grow by the end of the year and be stronger than ever.

Message from me I keep getting signs of negative people around you so I really think you should look at people in your life rn and reevaluate them because their are negative people around you that prevent you from thriving completely you really need a healing year to grow stronger and to love your self more it’s going to be challenging tho I am ngl

P.s I am trying my best I am not sure if my readings are accurate but this is what I picked up through your reading. Also I know I have sm typos just got done w a essay and I am so lazy to re check my grammar.

My tropical chart placements:

Virgo sun 4 degree ( 12th house )

Virgo rising 5 degree

Capricorn moon 1 degree ( 4th house )

Virgo Mercury24 ( first house)

Leo Venus 1 degree (11th house)

Sag mars24 ( 4th house)

hey lovey! thank you for your patience, here is your reading for 2024! your astrological theme is jupiter and your tarot card is queen of wands. i believe 2024 will provide a fertile ground for your growth. if you are looking to grow or improve in any way, this year will give you the foundations for it, both internally and externally. it's also a great year for you to attract abundance and also healing, so it is definitely worth putting in the effort. you may even feel lucky, like not even trying that hard but you are getting amazing results. i also heard the message to work with your jupiter placement, embody the energies of the sign and focus on the themes of the house it resides in, and it could help you receive even more. your approach to situations will be more confident than before. you will be more outgoing and i see you pushing yourself out of your comfort zone with social situations. and you will also feel very confident in approaching work matters and love. and i think it will be a result of you putting in the effort for yourself, finding the many ways to improve your life, health, finances etc and overall you will keep stepping into a better place as the year goes on. you're focusing on what will help you move towards the future and becoming the person you have wanted to be for so long. you also will not turn down challenges this year and instead have faith in yourself to not give up. i think you will also be more in touch with your true self, not exactly a journey of spiritual growth but something similar. just aligning yourself to your true nature and meeting your needs instead of what everyone else says you need. and again with the confidence, having faith in your choices and decisions because you know they will lead to the best outcome even if it isn't what you expect. and that in itself can be a massive change in terms of growth, depending on they type of person you were prior to 2024.

happy new year and thank you for taking part! and thank you so much for the exchange it definitely feels accurate, that this will be a year of healing and growth (i also just realised we both had the queen of wands! i'm not even kidding that's crazy) and i really appreciate the messages about negative people. i need to hear it bc it's something i avoid and it's not easy when these people are the ones closest to you, however it definitely gives me motivation to reassess my relationships with family and friends in order to create a better environment for myself. thank you so much!

Not A Cure

One of the expressions common to people, once they have toured around and learned about D/S, is that they feel that their discovery and exploration of the lifestyle has left them with the feeling of being “at home”. Finding that home for your soul is amazing and should one also find a partner in crime and this lifestyle it is even more amazing. So many things are easier with a loving, supportive partner such as tending to our well-being. Any health issue from a cold to cancer is easier to tackle with a loving partner(s) but they still have to handle them because a partner can do a lot to help but they cannot take one’s medicine nor can they cure/fix the issue no matter how much they might wish they could. The same is true of mental health and while new research shows that the lifestyle does offer benefits to the well-being of our psyche, this lifestyle, nor a relationship within it, is going to be ‘the fix’.

Recently, there was a post by someone who identified as submissive and they are struggling with anxiety they thought rather than continuing to work with professionals they could just find a

dominant, enter into a relationship, and the anxiety would almost go away because their dominant would just tell them what to do. They added, even better if it was a master and they could be a slave, then all they would do is whatever they were told, never have to think, and no more anxiety. This must be very appealing to think that something seemingly as easy as entering into a relationship would make anxiety go away but a ‘quick fix’ such as this is not a solution. This fix will not last and will simply ‘mask’ the underlying illness and while masked the illness may get worse from lack of treatment.

The truth of it all is this, there are no shortcuts, no easy ways, no lifestyle, and no relationship that is going to cure, fix, or make someone whole. Yes, having a loving partnership can make health challenges easier but they still require the patient to take their medicine, whatever that might be. Entering into a relationship for the sake of being cured is no healing elixir, the same is true of choosing this lifestyle as it too is not a cure. When it comes to our health, physical and/or mental, we must work with professionals to get better and the road to improvement is often a struggle but the journey is worth the reward of becoming healthier. There are no shortcuts, relationships, or lifestyle fixes to get anyone there faster. It is amazing if D/S is your home and your lifestyle partner(s) is there every step of the way with you but please do not choose this lifestyle or relationship as a cure-all because at best it will be just a Band-Aid hiding a festering and growing wound under its cartooned exterior.

If you enjoyed this, I invite you to give my podcast a listen 'Chatting With The Lightkeeper,' a top 25% most-followed podcasts on Spotify but available on all the major podcasting apps and follow my socials for more exclusive content: Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) for a deeper dive into the wonderful world of D/S.

As with all of my thoughts, please see this disclaimer.

What do you think about that interview from Rumiko from Shonen 2020 about Kikyo and Kagome not being able to be friends and Inuyasha not being able to pick one because it’s would make his mental health suffer? Is this official? I feel like more ppl in the fandom would be talking about it

Rumiko did talk about Kagome and Kikyo not being able to be friends, but she said nothing about Inuyasha "not being able to pick one" in that interview. You can find it on Rumic World's website here. Here's the full quote:

Q5 If Kikyo was alive, would Kagome and she become good friends? A5 If Inuyasha was around, I think it would be complicated to act as if nothing had happened. I imagine that they would have a difficult relationship with a lot of tension between them, since they would feel somewhat fearful and unable to accept one another. And maybe that would bring a lot of mental instability to Inuyasha.

As you can see she doesn't talk about Inuyasha making a choice between the 2 girls, she just says Kagome and Kikyo would not like each other and that would make Inuyasha uneasy.

The fandom did talk about that quote when it dropped 2 years ago, and the general reaction I've seen is:

Lmao, I mean I think as a society we've mostly moved past the whole "pitting 2 women against each over because of a dude" so Rumiko being like "Kagome and Kikyo could never have a positive relationship" just kind of sucks!

Obviously a lot of stuff happened between the two, but I don't think it would be impossible for them to make up. Kikyo could have apologized for trying to kill Kagome, and she could have tried to work with her and be her mentor. I feel like Rumiko set that up by having Kikyo realize Kagome's strength & kindness in chapter 310 / episode 151:

....and that went absolutely nowhere 🙃 Kikyo stopped being antagonistic towards Kagome for the most part but she also did nothing positive for her. It would have been nice for Kikyo to start reaching out to Kagome and work with her (since she knows she's getting weaker and Kagome is the only one who can purify Naraku's soul other than her). That alone would have improved their relationship, and maybe gave them a chance to talk about other subjects than Inuyasha. They share a soul and have so much in common but we're stuck having them argue over a guy for the entire series! I completely disagree with Rumiko when it comes to Kagome & Kikyo and if I could work on a reboot for the series it would be one of the things I'd like to change.

As for Inuyasha making a choice between the two, I'll never understand how people can see him "choosing" Kikyo over Kagome. Kikyo is his first love and she's important to him, but the only time he prioritized her over Kagome was when Naraku made him believe that Kikyo "followed him in death" and he felt like he didn't deserve to live and he would die for Kikyo if that was the only thing that could bring peace to her soul. If Kikyo somehow lived, I just can't see them rekindling their relationship after all that. Kagome is the one who healed Inuyasha's heart and the one he said he was born to be with, to me it always seemed obvious that Kagome was his priority. But that's only my interpretation of the text, of course 🤷‍♀️

My unpopular opinion about k is that chitose will have a relationship with dewa cause dewa is the only person who stayed by his side all the way through his break up journey and also despite being close like really close and always together chitose doesn't get bored of their constante company and dewa didn't leave him even when he saw at his lowest and how he became a heartbreaker. So i couldn't imagine chitose fallen for someone else only if he did go to therapy Which i am sure he didn't cause he couldn't t really see that he was in the wrong

Another one is Fujishima and Eric never end up together for one reason is that Eric must been so broken after his traumatic past that if in any case he fall in love it would be not that good for him if something happens in the futur the not near one it will be after a lot of work have been done on him and so i see Fujishima more as his care taker.

(sorry if it's long i was just existed to talk about K)

don’t apologize for the long ask!! im happy that you reached out and felt comfortable with sharing your opinion!! putting it under the cut since it got really long

send me your unpopular opinion/hot take on homra/k and i’ll post on whether i agree or not!

so in regards to your chidewa opinion: i don’t think it’s unpopular? like they might not be popular characters, but among the fans who do like or care about them, their ship is pretty popular. I also do agree with you! I think that chitose needs someone like dewa; someone who doesnt take his shit and will call him out, but is still very loyal and sticks with him during the bad times. i do think that this couple will have a hard time getting together at first. i dont think dewa will have a hard time with accepting his sexuality, but i have a strong feeling that chitose will be in denial for the longest because 1. he’s not ready to get involved in another committed relationship after what happened with his ex and 2. he would deny the possibility of being into men for the longest. I can see chitose cutting off dewa for a while and probably give him the cold shoulder as a result of internalized homophobia.

fujieric: also agree! eric had a traumatic past, so its very unrealistic for him to heal overnight. His journey will take weeks, months, and maybe even years. as sweet and soft fuji is, eric is a lot of work (not his fault at all). so as patient as fuji can be, i can see him getting frustrated with eric’s hot and cold behavior; how eric is so closed off even after all their time together. i like to think that eric slightly improves with the help of fuji (and some of the others like totsuka), but once totsuka passes away, eric finds himself withdrawing back into his shell and getting back into his old (bad) habits like when they first met. and that unfortunately dampens his relationship with fuji. i also hc that because of his past, eric becomes hyper sexual. with his body constantly being abused, he finds sex meaningless, and even uses it as a coping mechanism. so much to fuji’s dismay, eric is casually sleeping around with the most random (and wrong) people, even offering to sleep with some of the other members. so it’d be really hard for fuji to get into a relationship with eric, unless he’s willing to have an open relationship (which he’s not). And honestly, even the most patient person has their limits, so i cant blame fuji for cutting it off with eric (or maybe never even initiating a relationship at the first place), just to preserve his own mental health
