Infernl Friends AU:

Imagine the scene, little Ik was currently doing her homework when she come across something she doesnt understand. Her dad isnt home right now so she cant ask him and Aunt Lisa is busy so that’s a no as well. But then she remembered something, why not ask Lucifer/Satan! (you can pick which one you want to be called). The others keep saying he’s very smart so why not ask them. So Ik call Lucifer/Satan, he appeared and Ik instantly ask him to help her. He thought it would be easy, he thought it would be easy. How could it not be? It was just a measly 2nd grader homework until he saw what it is about. Photosynthesis

How would Satan and Lucifer respectively deal with this problem? What do they do when they realize this was something they dont know about but doesnt want to disappoint the expectant Ik? (Although maybe Satan already know about this but what if he doesnt just for this scenario)

- 🐧 Anon

i'd say lucifer's more likely to just concede that he doesn't know, since he doesn't want to face the embarrassment of giving an answer and having it be wrong - also, prime opportunity to teach ik how to seek out answers for herself!

unfortunately he doesn't know where to start looking, so they spend like an hour going through an encyclopaedia before he finally figures out that it's a plant thing - then once they finally get an explanation in kid terms, ik gets it immediately while lucifer remains completely perplexed for much longer than he'd ever admit

meanwhile satan tries to logic his way to an answer, unwilling to tarnish the "capable and knowledgeable big brother" thing he's got going on - unfortunately, the best he can get is that 'photo' means light, so uhh... light magic, maybe? wait, that's not a thing up here

eventually he does also admit he doesn't know, and he actually takes a much shorter time to look up the definition in a book somewhere, given his experience with this kind of thing - ironically, he would've beaten lucifer for time if he hadn't spent so much time trying to sound like he did know

#answering asks #anon asks #🐧 anon #satan is also confused about it for much less time than lucifer #in my eyes satan is a lot more open to new knowledge that doesn't follow known rules than lucifer #because he's practised with suspending disbelief from reading fiction plus with taking new info in stride from reading nonfiction #meanwhile lucifer's composure and poise depends completely on the fact that he's usually in control of any situation he's in #control which requires everything to act as he expects it to and so he doesn't respond as well when the rules change #(you can see this happening in the minecraft chapter)#all that aside lucifer's also just bewildered by the concept - like how does that work. how do they turn the light into food #jtta aus #infernal friends au

random request but i'd be eternally grateful if somebody would recommend me a horror/weird/disturbing/speculative/mystical/woman-centered novel to read <3

for reference in february i read clarice lispector's the passion according to g.h. and han kang's the vegetarian and enjoyed both of them! currently reading malina by ingeborg bachmann which i'm also enjoying so far, mostly looking for literature from mid-20th century til today, written by women please <3

(also last year i read bora chung's cursed bunny and ha seong-nan's bluebeard's first wife, both short story collections, but i liked the atmosphere and vibe of the majority of the stories if that helps give more of an idea of what i've enjoyed recently-ish)

#i've read predominantly nonfiction and poetry for the last few years and have completely destroyed my enjoyment of narrative fiction 🥲#so i'm trying to get back into reading novels!#no ya books please...

I have bookshelves!! more than I've ever had before (3 ikea billy's in my living room and one in my bedroom - that I'll also partially be using as a wardrobe lmao)

my dad and I are still gonna do some minor fixing on them tomorrow so all the edges are neatly aligned and it looks all tidy and also connect them to the wall to make sure they don't topple over, BUT

this means I get to play around with organizing my books again!

#I already have some ideas #I'm gonna put all my pretentious classics that come in series #like my black and orange penguins and my oxford world classics and wordsworth editions #on the top shelves organized by publisher #and I'm gonna put art/fashion book together somewhere in the lower middle #but other than that??? not a clue yet #I do kinda want to keep fiction and nonfiction separate #but idk how I'm going to split up the space yet #like do I use one separate bookcase for all the nonfiction #or do I spread them over the lower shelves #decisions decisions #OH also I'm gonna use the middle row of shelves for plants and decorations #so there's that too #(also gonna put plants completely on top but that's for later)

#so much tumblr 'writing advice' just sets my teeth on edge #because it completely neglects to differentiate between writing fiction and writing academic nonfiction #it's fine to have a bazillion one-sentence paragraphs in your novel if that's your style!#but in an academic paper or something... the points do need explanation.#in fact I'd even say that if I were tempted to do a one-sentence paragraph in a paper #then the purpose that sentence is really serving is to be supporting material to one of my actual main points #and I need to integrate it into the larger paragraph #and yes it's hard to maintain an interesting rhythm with longer paragraphs! but it's possible #and with judicious word choice it's possible to get a similar rhythmic effect to what you'd get from a line break #anyway. I know nobody on tumblr is thinking about nonfiction when they post generic writing advice #but what am I on here for if not to post enormous tag rants about things that don't matter

• does a lot of free reading - mostly nonfiction but will tell no one about the romance novels hiding under his mattress

• sleeps around because parent issues - even though he doesn't really speak, he still gets bitches . . . probably because he is handsome af and also cause when he does speak, he is smooth

• does smoke, but would stop if you asked him too

• he is the adopted introvert . . . prove me wrong

• he's only really close with blaise, but because mattheo and blaise are best friends (by the transitive property of arithmetic), mattheo and theo are good friends too

• he's extremely protective (and slightly possessive) of the people he loves, probably because he lost his mother and he's afraid to lose the people he loves too

• he thinks far into the future - living together, marriage, having kids, growing old

• he will help you study whenever you need

• will also drop any plans he has for you (hoes before bros)

• prefers to take you out to nice and exotic places for the holidays instead of having you over at his place (his father is a nightmare - he's adamant on ensuring that the two of you never cross paths)

• will propose to you spontaneously, approximately six months after being together

• he will not take no for an answer; will compromise, but he will not let you say no unless you despise him

• you are his favorite person in the world, his one and only, and you'd best remember that he's do ANYTHING for you

My new shelves are up and all of my books fit (just barely 😅)! Click on the bottom three photos to see the individual books. 2 shelves of fantasy and 1 shelf of general fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and other. This is in almost a completely random order, so I’ll probably be changing things up over the next few months. And I’ll need another shelf for more space too.

ALL NIGHT

m.sturniolo

contains: collage au, smut, bondage, pet names, dacryphilia, overstimulation, dom!matt.

summary: you fuck every other night with the most popular and smartest guy in collage.

I couldn’t focus in class at all. Staring at the paper sheet, at questions that I need to answer and they have to be done by the end of the class but my mind keeps tracing back to last night when I was a complete mess; moaning and whimpering his name while he rammed into me non stop, overstimulating me every single fucking time.

I am always craving for his touch on my skin, for his lips on specific places, for his teasing and slight humiliation cuz he does it so good. I’m always so lost after our nights but he seems to be doing perfectly fine.

I shorty glanced at him in class, he was already done with all of the questions and he was just chilling, he turned to look at me and the most sexiest smirk curved onto his lips, he grinned at turned around and typed something on his phone.

I received a nonfiction, my phone was next to me.

matt:

tonight. 7pm.

I looked back at him again and let out a quiet frustrated sigh but I smiled at him.

y/n:

not tonight. gotta study.

I turned the phone off looking at him, waiting for his reaction, he turned to look at me and he had that one expression on his face that said “c’mon, stop pretending”, something like that.

matt:

don’t wanna get your brains fucked out again?

I gasped at the message, my eyes went wide and I looked at him, to see him smirking again, giggling quietly.

y/n:

you’re getting me fucked up.

matt:

and i’ll get you fucked up tonight too ;)

I slightly blushed at the message putting the phone down on the table looking at him, he was already looking at me with the biggest grin on his face.

After classes…

I was walking in the corridors when I suddenly felt someone pull me by my hand and drag me into the nearest empty room. My breath hitched but I soon realised that it was Matt due to his hand placement. Matt buried his face onto my shoulder and he attacked my neck with kisses.

“Matt. You know we can’t be doing this right now.”

“I don’t care. I need you so bad”, Matt whispered with a raspy voice, he knew his raspy voice made me even weaker for him. I turned to face him.

“Pretty doll”, Matt teased as he played with my hair.

“Don’t call me that.”

“What? Doll?”

I nodded my head but i secretly liked it.

“I know you love it when I call you that. You’re probably already soaking wet in those panties.”, Matt teased as he got closer to me, pulling me closer to his body and almost touching my lips.

My breath hitched as I closed my eyes as I murmured “fuck” under my breath. Matt trailed his fingers around my skirt and I immediately pulled his hands away.

“C’mon, baby.”, in his mind he wanted to get rid and rip this god damn skirt off of you, he wanted to feel you and he needed to feel you.

“Just like you said, 7pm tonight”, I whispered teasingly, trying to leave the room but Matt was quick enough to grab me by my hand and kiss me. The kiss was very sloppy and hungry, I could feel how needy he was, his hands were on my waist pulling me closer every moment, he entered his tongue into my mouth causing me to let out a small whimper as our tongues collided together.

I pulled away from the kiss, both of our breaths were heavy. I smiled at him and then slowly opened the door to get out.

“I’ll see you tonight, doll”.

At 7pm…

Matt has been spamming me for the last ten minutes while im getting ready in my collage dorm. Tonight I wanted to tease him, drive him crazy so I was dressing up just like how he liked it, the jeans and the top that he loves. The jeans were flared and had greyish shades, the top was white with long sleeves and a cut out in the middle ; perfectly show off my chest. He didn’t care about makeup that much but he liked it natural so that’s what I did, but I didn’t do it all of this just for him, I of course did this for myself. His favourite fit on me was my favourite too.

I quickly sprayed on some good girl perfume on myself and straightened my hair, picked up my phone and dorm keys and stormed out. I knocked on his door, he opened the door and i almost passed out. He just got out of the shower, his hair wet and messy, a towel wrapped around his waist.

“You’re late”, he spoke.

I was so desperate that I immediately leaned in to kiss him pressing my lips onto his, he was quickly taken aback but within seconds he was kissing me back. He closed the door, not pulling away and he leaned me against the wall, grabbing my hands and pinning them above my head. The look of lust in his eyes made me want to moan on the spot. He brought his lips to my neck, biting and sucking before kissing. Soft whimpers were escaping my mouth.

He slowly pulled away as he was looking straight into my eyes

“You smell so good”.

“Your favourite perfume”.

“Fuck, you’re so good to me”.

He kissed me again, this time softly picking me up into his arms and placing me onto his bed. He started to slowly take off my top as his mouth immediately traveled to my chest, placing kisses everywhere.

“I need you so bad”, I whined.

With that being said Matt ripped the jeans off of me immediately as his fingers trailed around my thong.

“Such a slut for me.”, Matt teased me as kissed me on the lips.

“Please”, I whined again, I looked pathetic but I need him.

“Since you pissed me off today durning class, I’ll have to punish you somehow”, Matt spoke with a calm tone which scared me. I saw him grabbing ropes from his drawer, he pinned my arms above my head and tied them up.

He slowly spread my legs and leaned into kiss me while his fingers were teasing my wetness where I needed him the most. He slowly rubbed it, painfully in a slow peace on purpose which caused me to whimper and I felt him smirk into the kiss. As I deepened the kiss because I was that desperate I felt him slowly slide his fingers into me and pump them in and out, deeply.

I pulled away from the kiss throwing my head back and moaning loudly.

“You like that, doll?”.

I couldn’t speak at all because his fingers felt so good inside me, I couldn’t even talk.

“Answer me”, Matt demanded as he started to aggressively pump his fingers inside me causing me to moan loudly.

“Fu-ck”, please don’t stop”, I managed to mumble out as he leaned it to kiss me again while his fingers worked magic.

I felt that I was close cuz my legs were trembling and I squeezed my eyes shut.

“Look at me or I’ll stop”, Matt demanded.

I wasn’t even able to hear him properly. Matt shoved his fingers even deeper and before I was able to let out another moan he kissed me. My legs were trembling and with one last final push with his fingers inside me I squirted all around his fingers, thinking he would stop but I was wrong. He continued, tears were streaming down my face as I saw Matt with the biggest grin on his face, he leaned in to kiss my forehead.

“You’re doing so good, doll”.

“I can’t feel my arms”, I breathed out.

“Good, I’m not gonna untie them anytime soon”.

Another tear rolled down my face and Matt softly chuckled.

“You’re so cute when you cry”.

Matt slowly leaned it and started to untie my arms as he looked into my eyes the whole time.

“You did so good, doll. But let’s see if you’ll be able to handle this round”, Matt whispered as he kissed my forehead. He slowly tapped my mouth and spread my legs and lowered himself between my thighs. He slowly tied them to the bed and started teasing me. I need him there the most so I just grabbed his hair and lowered him. I felt him smirking but that was a sign for him to keep going so he immediately started swirling his tongue all over it, he slowly slid his fingers inside making me throw my head back and gasp loudly.

I didn’t even last a few minutes, squirting all over his fingers again. He looked up at me and removed the tape from my mouth.

“Stick your tongue out”.

He slid his fingers inside my mouth as I sucked on them, I was making a doe eye face expression on purpose. He slowly pulled his fingers out.

“I need to feel you, doll, please.”

I smirked at him because I needed him inside me more than anything

He understood my face expression as a yes so he spread my legs even more widely, pushing slowly inside me which made both of us throw our heads back, I heard Matt groaning and cursing under his breath. He started to ram into me as he wrapped one of his hands on my neck, the slapping noises were echoing the room as my moans were getting louder with every ram.

“Fuck. You’re so tight”, Matt whispered under his breath, fastening the peace.

I wasn’t able to speak at all anymore, I just nodded and let out whimper sounds as answers. He picked up the peace even more, resting his head onto my chest, bringing both of us closer to our edge.

“Cum inside me”, I breathed out.

“Yeah?”, he breathed heavily.

“Please”.

Matt wrapped his second hand onto my neck and rammed into me violently fast, I felt tears streaming down my face as I screamed, feeling his hot liquid fill me up.

He untied my legs and leaned into kiss me before pulling away.

“This felt so fucking good”, I whispered.

“I needed this”, Matt whispered back, playing with my hair.

could you write some boyfriend headcanons for megumi? sfw

boyfriend!megumi headcanons

a/n: i hope i delivered to your liking <3

☆ . . . dating megumi would feel like the crisp october air whirling throughout your lungs. soon you hear the chilled wind singing a tune as the red, yellow, and orange leaves join in; you feel at peace like a warm knitted quilt rest upon your shoulders.

☆ . . . you would have to confess first, he’s aware theres some unspoken tension that lingers whenever you two are in the same vicinity but he doesn’t exactly know how to approach you on the subject without feeling like a complete fool.

☆ . . . once he gets comfortable with you though he’s totally a cheeky little bastard.

☆ . . . for the first few months of the relationship megumi would prefer to be secretive and sneak around with you … the closest thing you’ll get affection-wise in public is linking pinkies or him drawing patterns on your thigh under a table when nobody is looking.

☆ . . . around the fourth or fifth month he’ll feel ready to go public (tell yuji and nobara) he’ll ask like a hundred times if you were ready as well and if you weren’t he’d have no problem with waiting.

☆ . . . i could see him with a partner who he shares the same vaules and philosophies with. he wouldn’t go out of his way to personally seek an extroverted s/o but he can find himself gravitating towards people with bubbly/outgoing personalities.

☆ . . . megumi is a quiet lover, choosing to express his affections through gestures rather than words.

☆ . . . spotify/apple music playlists are his go-to !!! i hc that he’s super into poetry so the playlist name would be a shorten quote of a sonnet or poem that reminds him of you.

☆ . . . once a month you guys pick out books for each other to read and annotate (his idea.) he gives you a nonfiction or thriller book while you always give him a romance book.

☆ . . . his annotations will either vary from vague one liners like “nice” and “cool quote” or two to three lines of why the protagonist shouldn’t have forgiven the love interest so quickly.

☆ . . . you know that movie trope where someone says “i’m definitely not gonna do that thing” and the scene immediately cuts to them doing that exact thing? yeah that’s megumi when it comes to doing facemasks.

☆ . . . he’ll be sooo reluctant but as soon as you smear the watermelon cucumber clay mask on his face he practically purrs like a kitten. he’s relaxed and happy to have a lil pampering day with you.

☆ . . . he’s more of a listener than a talker, whenever you’re reciting your day to him or rambling about a new show his gaze is so intense and stern you’d think he’s mad at you or not paying attention.

☆ . . . he assures that he was listening and that he’s always listening to you regardless of what you talk about.

☆ . . . he loves to hold you and be held !! it took him some time to ease into the physical aspect of a relationship like cuddles and kisses but he grew accustomed soon with some reassurance.

☆ . . . his favourite cuddle position is where your head rest on his chest with his arms securely wrapped around your waist as your legs are all tangled up together.

☆ . . . all in all, dating megumi is overall a tranquil and lovely experience, you’ll feel loved and cherished everyday you’re with him, even if his actions aren’t explicit he tries his very best to make you happy with the little things.

reblogs & feedback is extremely appreciated !! <3

75 DAYS HARD CHALLENGE: DAY I

Previously I announced that I will begin the 75 Days Hard Challenge at the first of July. For anyone unfamiliar, the Challenge takes 75 Days and follows these daily rules:

Choose a diet and follow it (without cheat meals or alcohol)

Complete two 45-minute workouts daily (one needs to be outside no matter the weather)

Drink a gallon of water every day

Read 10 pages of nonfiction

Take progress pictures

If you skip or miss a task you must start over

Things you should know:

I decided to try this challenge because I want to improve my mental toughness and physical fitness (also I want to prove to myself that I am consistent). It's probably not for everyone, so there is also a soft version of this challenge called 75 Days Soft Challenge.

I prepared for this challenge a month in advance. I tried out what diet suits me the most without craving cheat meals, decided on what books I want to read and what kind of workouts are the best for me.

I don't want to bother you with a daily follow up of my challenge, but please consider I'll try to do an update every 1-2 weeks.

"All great things have small beginnings."

My current routine on this challenge varies from day to day because I do work shifts but there are a few things that stay consistent during this challenge:

Diet:

I decided to do IF with a 16:8 ratio. I start eating at 10am and have my last meal at 6pm. Mostly low carb, high protein. No meat, no sugar, limited dairy. Please consider that every human is different and what may work for me, won't do it for you. I decided to become vegetarian a month ago and I don't regret it yet.

2. Workouts:

I am not an athlete. Therefore two heavy workouts a day would cause me injuries. I'm taking a 45 minutes outdoor walk everyday and the second workout is whatever suits my day the most. For example on Mondays I'm going to a yoga class, therefore this will be my second workout.

3. Hydration:

To be honest, I had to change this one a bit. I'm drinking one black coffee every morning and I'm also having a tea before I go to sleep. This intake plus a gallon of water would be too much for my body. I decided to drink 3 Liters of water everyday and the missing 0,7 liters will be tea and black coffee. I'm not drinking anything else for the duration of this challenge. No soft drinks, no alcohol, no milk (except for coconut milk for my overnight oats).

4. my non-fiction reading list:

Patrick Lencioni - The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Dale Carnegie - How to Win Friends and Influence People

Yuval Harari - Homo Deus

Yuval Harari - 21 Lessons for the 21 Century

Daniel Kahneman - Thinking Fast and Slow

James Clear - Atomic Habits

Robert Greene - The 48 Laws of Power

Robert Greene - The Art of Seduction

Erich Fromm - The Art of Loving

Oliver Burkeman - Four Thousands Weeks

James Carse - Finite and Infinite Games

Seneca - Letters from a Stoic

Plato - Allegory of the Cave

5. last but not least - the progress picture:

I hate taking pictures, so I won't really share them but I made a folder on my phone and taking the photo is the first thing I'm doing in the morning to get it off my list.

Bisous!

Can you do one where Xaden uses his shadows during sex? Or just teasing through out the day to get reader all bothered? I can just see him being a little shit with his shadows. Like holding readers hands above their head or teasing their body with the shadows.

I swear, this man lives rent free in my head along with Rhysand and Aaron Warner. They have risen the standards for nonfictional men lol

Hot and Cold (SMUT)

Xaden x reader

A/n: I love this concept for all shadow book bfs and Xaden has been living in my mind too

Warnings: smut (18+ only please)

As soon as Xaden got you on his bed he had his shadows pin your arms above your head. He left you in your underwear while he was still completely clothed. His thigh rested between your legs pressed against your sex. You try to rub yourself against his leather clad thigh, desperate for some friction.

His shadows hold down your thighs spreading them wider. Xaden’s eyes roam over your writhing body. He grabs the waistband of your panties, ripping them from your body. He leans down to whisper in your ear, his voice deep and raspy, “If you can stay still like a good girl while I strip I’ll give you what you want.”

Xaden stands up and starts to strip slowly. He smirks down at you as you eye him. Silently begging him to take his clothes off faster. You’re trying your hardest to stay still but your hips twitch.

You feel the coolness of his shadows sliding up the inside of your thigh over your clit. You shiver as it continues to move up. The shadow leaves your sex, snaking up your torso. Once it gets to the valley of your breasts the shadow splits in two. They begin to swirl around your pebbled nipples, twisting and teasing them.

Throwing your head back your eyes screw shut. You mewl at Xaden’s teasing. At this point he’s fully undressed, finally kneeling between your legs again. You look up at him, your eyes pleading, “P-please Xaden. Need you. Need your cock please.”

“Yeah. My good girl, asking all nice.” He runs a finger through your soaking folds. “So wet for me.” Without warning he plunges two thick fingers in your slit, spreading them and pulling them out. You moan as he thrusts them in and out of you. His pace brutal.

You clench around his fingers and he pulls out entirely. You whimper at the loss of him. “Sshh, it’s ok sweet girl. I’ll give you what you want in a second.” You strain your arms against his shadows but they don’t budge. If anything you feel them become tighter. Xaden positions himself over you, pulling his shadows back from your thighs.

“Open.” He commands. You open your mouth and he sticks his fingers in. “Suck.” Clamping down you moan at the taste of yourself on him and begin sucking. You looked at Xaden through your lashes and he growls. “So fucking perfect.”

Xaden throws your legs around his torso with his free hand and slides his length into you. Your eyes roll back at the fullness, a broken sob escaping your stuffed mouth. He starts fucking into you at a rough and brutal pace. Rolling his hips so he can reach the deepest parts of you. “Fuck baby - feel so good around me.”

Between his fingers and his cock you were on cloud nine. The pressure of his fingers as you sucked on them was perfect. He felt perfect. “You love this don’t you baby? Love sucking on my fingers.” You nod, letting out a high pitched moan.

You loved when he fucked you like this. So commanding and in control. Xaden had been working you up all day and now he was finally giving you what you had been craving.

He switches to long, controlled strokes. The head of his cock rubs against the spot that makes you see stars. You feel your orgasm approaching. You groan as your walls flutter around Xaden’s cock. He lets out a growl, “You gonna come?” You nod again, your moans consistent as you breathe out through your nose.

“I’m right behind you baby. Fuck - go ahead, let go.” Your orgasm rips through you, your thighs shaking around him. Xaden finishes with a groan, coating your walls with seed.

Xaden lays on top of you, careful as to not put all his weight on you. He releases your hands and they instantly fly to his hair. You card your fingers through the short, curly onyx locks.

As you both calm down your legs slip from him to the bed. Xaden tilts his head to look at you placing a soft kiss on your neck. “You ok?” His face set in a worried look. Like he was afraid it was too much. You gave him a tired smile, “I’m perfect.”

Because large-scale organising is “almost impossible” in China, women are turning to “all kinds of alternative ways to maintain feminism in their daily lives and even develop and transfer feminism to others,” she says. These may take the form of book clubs or exercise meet-ups. Some of her friends in China organise hikes. “They say that we are feminists, we are hiking together, so when we are hiking we talk about feminism.“ - Lü Pin

To find evidence that China’s feminist movement is gaining momentum – despite strict government censorship and repression – check bookshelves, nightstands and digital libraries. There, you might find a copy of one of Chizuko Ueno’s books. The 74-year-old Japanese feminist and author of Feminism from Scratch and Patriarchy and Capitalism has sold more than a million books in China, according to Beijing Open Book, which tracks sales. Of these, 200,000 were sold in January and February alone.

Ueno, a professor of sociology at the University of Tokyo, was little known outside in China outside academia until she delivered a 2019 matriculation speech at the university in which she railed against its sexist admissions policies, sexual “abuse” by male students against their female peers, and the pressure women felt to downplay their academic achievements.

The speech went viral in Japan, then China.

“Feminist thought does not insist that women should behave like men or the weak should become the powerful,” she said. “Rather, feminism asks that the weak be treated with dignity as they are.”

In the past two years, 11 of her books have been translated into simplified Chinese and four more will be published this year. In December, two of her books were among the top 20 foreign nonfiction bestsellers in China. While activism and protests have been stifled by the government, the rapid rise in Ueno’s popularity shows that women are still looking for ways to learn more about feminist thought, albeit at a private, individual level.

Talk to young Chinese academics, writers and podcasters about what women are reading and Ueno’s name often comes up. “We like-like her,” says Shiye Fu, the host of popular feminist podcast Stochastic Volatility.

“In China we need some sort of feminist role model to lead us and enable us to see how far women can go,” she says. “She taught us that as a woman, you have to fight every day, and to fight is to survive.”

When asked by the Guardian about her popularity in China, Ueno says her message resonates with this generation of Chinese women because, while they have grown up with adequate resources and been taught to believe they will have more opportunities, “patriarchy and sexism put the burden to be feminine on them as a wife and mother”.

Ueno, who found her voice during the student power movements of the 1960s, has long argued that marriage restricts women’s autonomy, something she learned watching her own parents. She described her father as “a complete sexist”. It’s stance that resonates with women in China, who are rebelling against the expectation that they take a husband.

Ueno’s most popular book, with 65,000 reviews on Douban, is simply titled Misogyny. One review reads: “It still takes a little courage to type this. I have always been shy about discussing gender issues in a Chinese environment, because if I am not careful, I will easily attract the label of … ‘feminist cancer’.”

“Now it’s a hard time,” says Lü Pin, a prominent Chinese feminist who now lives in the US. In 2015 she happened to be in New York when Chinese authorities arrested five of her peers – who were detained for 37 days and became known as the “Feminist Five” – and came to Lü’s apartment in Beijing. She narrowly avoided arrest. “Our movement is increasingly being regarded as illegal, even criminal, in China.”

China’s feminist movement has grown enormously in the past few years, especially among young women online, says Lü, where it was stoked by the #MeToo movements around the world and given oxygen on social media. “But that’s just part of the story,” she says. Feminism is also facing much stricter censorship – the word “feminism” is among those censored online, as is China’s #MeToo hashtag, #WoYeShi.

“When we already have so many people joining our community, the government regards that as a threat to its rule,” Lü says. “So the question is: what is the future of the movement?”

“Nobody can change the micro level.”

‘The first step’

In 2001, when Lü was a journalist starting out on her journey into feminism, she founded a book club with a group of friends. She was struggling to find books on the subject, so she and her friends pooled their resources. “We were feminists, journalists, scholars, so we decided let’s organise a group and read, talk, discuss monthly,” she says. They met in people’s homes, or the park, or their offices. It lasted eight years and the members are still among her best friends.

Before the book club, “I felt lonely when I was pursuing feminism. So I need friends, I need a community. And that was the first community I had.” “I got friendship, I deepened my understanding of feminism,” Lü says. “It’s interesting, perhaps the first step of feminist movements is always literature in many countries, especially in China.”

Lü first read Ueno’s academic work as a young scholar, when few people in China knew her name. Ueno’s books are for people who are starting out on their pursuit of feminism, Lü says, and the author is good at explaining feminist issues in ways that are easy to understand.

Like many Ting Guo discovered Ueno after the Tokyo University speech. Guo, an assistant professor in the department of cultural and religious studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, still uses it in lectures.

Ueno’s popularity is part of a larger phenomenon, Guo says. “We cannot really directly describe what we want to say, using the word that we want to use, because of the censorship, because of the larger atmosphere. So people need to try to borrow words, mirror that experience in other social situations, in other political situations, in other contexts, in order to precisely describe their own experience, their own feelings and their own thoughts.”

There are so many people who are new to the feminist movement, says Lü, “and they are all looking for resources, but due to censorship, it’s so hard for Chinese scholars, for Chinese feminists, to publish their work.”

Ueno “is a foreigner, that is one of her advantages, and she also comes from [an] east Asian context”, which means that the patriarchal system she describes is similar to China’s. Lü says the reason books by Chinese feminists aren’t on bestseller lists is because of censorship.

Na Zhong, a novelist who translated Sally Rooney’s novels into simplified Chinese, feels that Chinese feminism is, at least when it comes to literature, gaining momentum. The biggest sign of this, both despite and because of censorship, is “the sheer number of women writers that are being translated into Chinese” – among whom Ueno is the “biggest star”.

“Young women are discovering their voices, and I’m really happy for my generation,” she says. “We’re just getting started.”

Secret Santa w/ the Jujutsu High Students

Content: Giving Itadori, Megumi, and Nobara their favorite gifts Tags: fluff Words: 1.7k

a/n: literally my first time writing again after a year or two and also my first time actually putting myself out there and posting lol I apologize if it's messy or lengthy TvT

Itadori Yuji

I feel like Yuuji would ask for a DVD/cassette collection of his favorite movies and TV shows since he really is a “TV child” and grew up watching those. And also because DVDs/cassettes are not really a thing nowadays, it kind of gives him nostalgia to be watching the same movies he used to when he was younger.

Another thing I think he’d like is a snack basket. Just a basket filled to the brim with sweets and snacks and sodas. Just something he can eat and share with someone while he’s watching his shows.

Yuuji doesn’t ask for much and he’d be completely fine if you only managed to buy one of them or even a completely different gift. I mean, he’s basically going out every weekend in the cinemas and he’s more than capable of buying a few snacks for himself at the store. Everything else is just a bonus.

What he didn’t expect was for you to go out of your way to buy him everything on his wishlist and even gave him a meal voucher to one of the popular ramen restaurants in Japan. You know he likes rice bowls a lot and what’s better than giving him a voucher that’s worth at least three different rice bowls.

“No way! You bought all of this for me?” He exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with stars as he looked over the rack full of DVDs, a large snack basket, and a meal voucher. He could feel the tears well up in his eyes, seeing you make an effort into giving him something special.

You smiled fondly at him, chuckling softly at his lightly pouting face “I might as well, right?” You tell him so casually, as if you didn’t just crawl your way into this man’s heart with your gifts.

Without a second thought, he threw himself at you, wrapping you in a tight, almost suffocating embrace before burying his face at the crook of your neck “You’re so awesome, you know that? I was secretly hoping you were my secret santa.” He murmured softly, which you find extremely endearing. Nobara and Gojo snickered behind you and you knew you’d find yourself in the middle of another teasing session over the next few days.

As soon as Yuuji let go of you, he grabbed both of your hands, holding it in front of your chest “We should definitely stop by that ramen restaurant later! You’ve only been there once, right?” He suggested as he shook your hands excitedly like a child.

As much as he wanted to hang out with his friends this Christmas, he didn’t want to miss out on some one-on-one time with you. He’s basically begging the universe for it so he wouldn’t trade it for the world or for an extra day of training. That can wait.

Megumi Fushiguro

I feel like Megumi isn’t even interested in joining Secret Santa. Poor boy was just forced by Gojo and Itadori lol. As he’s not interested in receiving any material gifts anyways, at most he’d probably just ask for a book.

He didn’t even give you any specific book he’d want you to buy so you had to ask Gojo “Oh, he’s not really into fantasy books, if that’s what you’re thinking,” He tells you as he leaned back onto the sofa “He’s leaning more towards nonfiction novels. Like the classics, you know?”

Heading straight towards the bookstore after training hours, you decided to go for “In Praise of Shadows” by Junichiro Tanizaki, simply because the title reminded you of his cursed technique. Though, the synopsis for the book isn’t too far off from his tastes.

Giving him only the book felt empty so you decided to look for mini figurines for his shikigamis at a nearby pottery shop. You wanted to give him something to symbolize his immense care for these animals, which was one of the things you loved the most about him. In the end, you had bought a total of 10 mini clay figurines. You placed it alongside the book inside a neat box with Japanese wrapping paper and a small bunny origami that resembles one of his shikigami on top to finish it off.

When it was time to give your gift to Megumi, he was quite impressed with the way it was wrapped but kept his reactions to a minimum “Ah, thanks.” He’d say, with a hand behind his neck

Only when he opens his present will you see the visible change in his expression. He pulls out the book and the mini figurines of the Divine Dogs, his gaze darting all over it in subtle fascination.

You purse your lips, tilting your head slightly “Do you like it?” You asked him, albeit a little nervously.

“Hey! Say something, won't you?” Nobara shouted, crossing her arms at the boy “Don't just sit there and stare!”

Megumi lifted his head off your bundle of gifts as he gazed back at your smiling face, a sudden feeling of happiness swelling in his chest but he kept it in.

“It’s…nice. I like it.” He spoke quietly, as if he’s only talking to you, blocking out all of the other sounds around him “You shouldn't have bought so much.”

He wanted to say more than that but his real feelings can't be summed up in a few words and he didn't want to come off so cheesy in front of his friends.

You laughed in response, waving off his words “No, no, I want to! You seem so indifferent with Christmas and I just wanted to give you something to smile about!” You lightly teased him, knowing you would have loved him either way.

At this point, Itadori and Nobara were forcing Megumi to smile for you as a joke, poking and prodding at his cheeks like they always do.

In the middle of the teasing session, you could definitely make out a small genuine smile from his otherwise stoic face, one that's easy to miss if you’re not looking closely enough.

Later that evening, when you finally got home, you received an unexpected call from Gojo, saying “Hey, just called to tell you Megumi loved what you gave him.” He tells you “In fact, he’s arranging those figurines you bought him at his bedside table.”

Without a second thought, you could hear Gojo put his phone closer to Megumi’s room, as the faint sound of soft clashes of wood on wood fills your ears.

Gojo puts himself back on the call “Oh, and the book that you gave him? Yeah, he started reading it on the way home. Looks like you really got him this time.”

You couldn't help the smile slowly spreading across your face like a child “Really?” You say, trying not to let your voice give out what you're feeling “That’s…that’s great! Tell him to cherish it for me, Gojo-sensei!”

Unbeknownst to you, you were on speaker the whole time.

Kugisaki Nobara

Oh it was anxiety-inducing to think of what to give to Nobara. She’s a girl who knows her worth and knows exactly what she deserves. And while that was an aspect of her personality that you love and admire a lot, there’s only so much that you can do with your allowance.

Her wish list states that she wanted stylish clothing, accessories, or anything that looks good on her, given how much she loves shopping. Of course, she didn’t ask for Balenciaga or Onitsuka Tiger. She’s not that delusional.

But you can’t help as if every gift you’d think of wouldn’t be good enough for her. You only wanted to give her the best things because that’s when you’ll see her smile the brightest. And you’d probably do anything to see it on her all the time.

Over the weekend, you made a plan to go to Shibuya, going straight to the popular fashion mall, Shibuya 109. Entering one of the more affordable clothing chains in the establishment, you purchased a cute, oversized graphic tee for her. You also decided to buy her a box set of accessories like hairpins, bracelets, chains, and scrunchies.

Buying one last thing for her with the money that you have, you go to a local chocolatier and order a box of macaroons. Nobara has always been a fan of sweets, after all.

On Christmas Day, when it was your turn to give your gifts, you glanced towards Nobara who was sitting beside you before handing her a beautifully wrapped gift with a ribbon on top.

“Merry Christmas, Nobara. You’re gonna love this.” You’d sweetly say as she widened her eyes, delicately loosening the ribbon string.

As soon as her eyes landed on the top you bought for her, chic accessories, and the box of macaroons, she couldn't simply contain her excitement.

Her eyes were basically stars as she immediately tried on the shirt, twisting and turning to see how it looked “(Y/N), this is gorgeous!” She exclaimed

Opening the box of accessories next, she quickly tried on the hairclips and wore the bracelets, hurriedly trying them on all at once “Where did you buy all this? It honestly looks so good.” She asked you, a wide smile plastered on her face

You scratched the back of your head and grinned “I…I honestly went to Shibuya this Saturday. I thought I might find you something different from the shops there.”

She immediately dropped everything she was holding and perked up in interest “And you didn't bring me with you? That would have been the best Christmas gift you could give me!” She says, her warm hands immediately wrapping around yours “Then maybe you shouldn't have spent all your money on me. I heard some stores there are so expensive.”

Your grip on her hand tightened into a gentle squeeze “You don't need to worry. I got my money's worth so it’s okay, really.” You reassured her.

You could see the tears forming on her eyes, only for her to wipe it off as she pouted “Well, at least let me share my macarons with you!” She tells you before picking one from the box and feeding you a strawberry cream-filled flavor macaron.

Nobara made a promise to be the one to take you to Shibuya next time and even go as far as to spoil you, even when you told her not to.

How could she not? She’s so picky with everything but you’re the only one who seems to pinpoint her tastes so well. She’s never met anyone who could match her as good as you do so she’ll make sure to return the favor.

Happy holidays x
