#the ''abnormal'' person has to be like a master chef

Four's spouse being absolutely terrifying when mad is very accurate. Not much really pisses them off except when it involves their loved ones are hurt, food waste and their current catch being chased away like the Gohma scaring off the boar. Otherwise Reader is mostly nonchalant.
Four does ask his lover to throw him on a few occasions, mainly when adventuring as the married couple are quite the tag team. Both fight completely in sync even when the Colors are thrown into the mix. So Wind and Wild asking for Reader to throw them wouldn't be much of a problem if they have a destination in mind.
Warriors: You're seriously going to oblige them?!
Reader: If they know where they want to go and have a way to land. My husband does this whenever we explore a dungeon together.
Wind: *takes out the Korok Leaf* Toss me as high as you can and I'll land on the roof!
Reader: *tosses the teen 60 ft into the air*
Twilight: WHAT THE????!
Wild: That is AWESOME!
(Wind does land safely and got scolded by Twilight. Wild also gets tossed too while Sky contemplates on asking.)
Reader's strength is the most insane thing about them. Combat chefs don't fight with their bare hands as its a chef's most important tool. You can't cook without them. They are a close range fighter so Reader uses their legs to fight.
One technique that Four's love tends to use is called Sky Walk. This skill allows Reader to literally walk on AIR and can only be taught by a master. Our heroes find this out when Wild spots something odd on his Sheikah Slate.
Wild: WHAT THE FUCK?! FOUR, HOW IS YOUR SPOUSE WALKING ON AIR?!!
Hyrule: I'm sorry what?
Time: *uses the Lens of Truth and sees Reader is actually walking to the house on nothing* Smithy, did you marry a god???
Four: Reader isn't a god. They're just using Sky Walk, a super secret technique. Like this! *begins walking on air*
Warriors: DEAR HYLIA!
Four hasn't really mastered the technique as it takes a few years so he can only walk at least 30 ft before he has to touch the ground. The looks on his comrades' faces are hilarious though. Smithy literally hid such a technique that would make any pitfall traps worthless.
Now Dink is most likely the type to use the heroes' loved ones to his advantage. When the Chain are traveling through Warrior's Hyrule Fields they did not expect a Dodongo to come crashing down with a footprint deep in its chest. All of them knew only one person could do this and rush to where it came from.
Surrounded by Taluses, Dodongos, Darknuts and Hinoxes was an absolutely livid Reader. One of the Links were quick to spot the abnormal nervous Darknut in the group, Dink who's currently regretting his decision. Especially when Reader's lower half of their legs ignite a fiery orange coat. They flames didn't seem to harm them but clearly burn the ground.
A sign that has Four split and push his comrades away a good distance from the fight cause he knew what is about to happen.
Green: The shadow really done it now!
Legend: What's going on?!
Vio: Diable Jambe, one of our lover's more destructive techniques. Trust us when we say you don't want to get hit by that!
Reader: My food is burning because of you bastards! Only fair that I return the favor! Diable Jambe- Party Table Kick Course!
Everyone watches as the chef lets loose scorching hot kicks with a handstand while spinning. The heat alone melted the Stone Talus and scorch the nearby ground. When Reader was done, all that remain was ash and a large patch of burnt ground. Dink definitely fled albeit badly burned but learn a huge lesson.
DON'T PISS OFF READER.
Oh my goodness... no kidding.
Reader is a force to be reckoned with.
....They just round house kick the hoard of enemies with hell fire....
AND THE FOOD WAS BURTN D:<
Dark Link better not come back! How dare he!!!!!!

Just a reminder that if you're disabled, neurodivergent, mentally ill or otherwise "othered" by society it's okay to just be average. You don't have to have a hidden talent or be a savant to be worthy of love and acceptance. Just being you is more than enough, you're absolutely perfect and wonderful the way you are

Omg, I LOVE these two!! I have a request; how do you feel about Ramsey serving, like, an alternate sentence as Percy’s “trainee” or “second” ? Maybe he’s like her partner in (stopping) crime? Also any general cute headcanons? :3 we love our cop and rat boy
I do like that concept! But my like, knowledge that it’s not how the canon will go makes me a bit hesitant with it, haha. Personally, I think Ramsey’s too anti-establishment to ever be a “cop” or anything close to it, but I could see him taking on a consultant role (I have a fic about that idea) for forgery cases. He’d also be invested in cases that involve taking down corrupt businesses, but I’m not sure the police would let him help with that sort of stuff.
As for cute headcanons, here’s some random ones! Sorry this got long!!
Percy's the kind of person who survives on pasta and bread, and Ramsey just eats take-out or calls an entire bag of tortilla chips a meal. Them moving in together and seeing the other person’s eating habits encourages both of them to learn how to cook. Percy’s got a little bit of experience, but Ramsey’s the one with a sense of taste, and together they form one functional chef. It’s usually a bit of a mess, but it’s fun to learn together.
Neither of them are touchy-feely people in most contexts, but as they grow more comfortable with each other they become more physically affectionate/generally cuddly. Percy doesn’t normally initiate physical contact, even with people she knows well, it just doesn’t come naturally to her. Ramsey, on the other hand, is used to only using physical contact as a manipulation tactic; a well-placed hand on a shoulder can easily win someone over. But as time goes on, they just get closer and closer without noticing, until one day Percy looks at how they’ve flopped onto each other on the couch and goes. hm. this is abnormal for me. but it is not unpleasant.
Very rarely am I into the love-at-first-sight trope, but I adore how these two pretty much instantly click when they first meet. I like the idea that from their first meeting they already have the beginnings of feelings for each other, but neither of them realize it. Ramsey pines after her a ton (I mean, okay, like 50% of my enjoyment of this pairing is just watching Ramsey pine sdfghjk) without even being completely clued-in to the fact that he’s got feelings for her. Like he admires her, respects her, thinks she’s a cool badass, she’s beautiful and OH NO....Percy, on the other hand, is even more clueless about her feelings. I think some external source would have to point it out to her, whether that would be Ramsey confessing and Percy just automatically being like, oh yeah, I Do have romantic inclinations towards you, or a friend of hers asking about it. Or, in Swine Radio’s case, Percy picking up on Ramsey’s (very obvious) crush on her, and going from there.
And some non-ship headcanons, because I can:
Percy had her Epiphany while playing a tower-defense game as a child. She spent months hyper-focused on them, memorizing the different tower types and such. By the time she realized she could do other things with her epithet, her powerset had cemented into being primarily focused around creating towers with magical effects. The architectural stuff she learned later on, and was somewhat more difficult because she wasn’t proficient enough to learn as quickly. Her architectural abilities are very much a labor of love!
Ramsey’s art has gone viral before, he has a Masters of Fine Art and he uses his artistic ability for absolute chaos. He’s done like, gorgeous oil paintings in the style of famous Renaissance artists, but they’re all Naruto fanart. Not for money or anything, just because he can and it’s hilarious.

bitter question asks
tagged by the lovely @buffkreia. tagging anyone who wants to i guess. you. yes, you, personally. answer these questions now. (or don’t. it’s up to you.)
What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
satele/marr (wat). anyone/marr. anyone/malgus.
Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?
vette+sw. any variant on teacher+student (sw/jaesa, jc/nadia, etc). (jk/kira is... borderline, since kira is more a peer than a student, whereas jaesa/nadia/ashara are very much students of the player character, with ds!jaesa being not just a student but an abused one at that).
Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?
hell yes. i once unfollowed someone (who is since long deactivated) for posting “tivva and her old moff cutesy headcanons”. what the fuck, fandom. 
i also make a habit of unfollowing people who do Shit that i complain about on the regular (fascism/wh-te s-premcy rhetoric apologetics, ab-se shippers, etc). (though i am more picky about who i follow than i used to be. for a lot of people though it’s nothing personal, i am just a Weirdo who likes to read their entire dash, so i keep the number of blogs i follow low. but if we interact on anything resembling the regular i probably have a nose at your bagel anyway)
Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?
as above most/any variant on teacher/student.
jk/scourge. i’ve seen it done ICly exactly once. most of the time scourge is rewritten as a noble romantic knight in edgy armour and not the manipulative borderline-stalker that he is. i hate the pairing for the shitty characterisation that usually accompanies it and i hate the pairing for the abusive relationship it would be were he IC. there is no winning move here except not to play.
corso/smuggler. i get the feeling that most people into this pairing like corso as they want him to be, not corso as he is. or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part, idk.
doc/quinn. this pairing is peak White Fujoshi and i hate it. i hate the examples where it’s doc repeatedly hitting on an increasingly uncomfortable quinn, because haha sexually harassing someone is both hilarious and hot am i right. i hate the examples where it’s quinn seducing doc for intel on the resistance (protip: that’s rape!). i hate it i hate it i hate it if i never see it again it will be too soon
Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
f!sw/almost anyone male, as a result of the endless shitty revenge adultery abuse fics that are all over quinn fandom. not all f!/sw/anyone male fics/ships fall into this category, but most of them seem to, especially /theron and /pierce.
(something something why is it that the majority of people who write f!sw/men of colour only do so in order to generate manpain for a white dude, huh)
Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
nope.
Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
pugging EV/KP
Have you received anon hate? What about?
until i switched off anon, yes. it was fifty percent “you say mean things about quinn and that makes you an awful person” and fifty percent “you say nice things about quinn and that makes you an awful person”. proof that no matter what i do, i will never make The People happy. conclusion: do whatever the fuck i want
Most disliked character(s)? Why?
scourge. because i have an irrational dislike of people who manipulative borderline stalkers, who threaten to kidnap the children of others so they can be “raised correctly” into an abusive reactionary religious order.
Most disliked arc? Why?
republic makeb is where logic and my will to live go to die.
kotet is equal parts ‘empire apologia’, ‘vaylin torture porn’, and ‘excuses to be violent towards koth’. appo hates.
Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?
koth vortena. both for his intrinsic qualities as a character and because of the endlessly terrible way he is treated by the fanbase and th devs both. if i had a penny for every “but he said valk was good to zakuul” i would never have to worry about my income again.
jaric kaedan. he’s great i love him. grumpy, arguably less than ls, but passoinately dedicated to the jedi and the republic. hates scourge on sight. badassed the Dread Masters into submission. pushes for the jedi to take action in a war targeted at wiping them out instead of hiding behind the republic. he’s just *chef’s kiss*
Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?
the jc story. imp makeb.
Unpopular opinion about XXX character?
major anri exists only to put a likeable face on the empire. she and brax are incredibly deliberate (not to mention hamfisted) attempts to Humanise(tm) a genocidal imperialistic fascist regime and to attempt to play on the guilt of players/characters who take the saboteur route. sadly what bioware seem to fail to realise is that i traded my ability to feel sorry for the empire for a magic bean. it was completely worth it.
Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
swtor fandom is a dumpster fire. racism, misogyny, fascism apologia, ablism, we got it all, folks. in that respect it is not abnormal for fandoms but this is neither an excuse nor a selling point.
it is also not welcoming in the slightest if you take issue with any of the above.
Unpopular opinion about the manga/show/game?
the old method of unlocking travel waypoints was way more immersive (even if it was a colossal pain in the ass). exploring the depths of belsavis for the first time was awe inspiring - seeking out ancient forgotten tech to dig into secrets locked away for untold millenia.
yes, it was a huge pain in the ass, especially if you were on your nth alt. i’d be fine with some system (maybe legacy based) where waypoints/speeder points for a planet are unlocked once you’ve completed the planetary story for the first time (or something). there is so much content in the game that just gets missed by first time players because bioware want to rush them through to the very end and it sucks.
If you could change anything in the show, what would you change?
invent a time machine, arrange for the firing of those who okayed kotfe and its shitty story that glorified a repeat abuser and its shitty gameplay and its total lack of repeatable group content in an mmo. make the writers produce something that a. actually stayed true to the themes of star wars and b. didn’t glorify an abusive genocidal shitlord like valkoriate.
then find myself some lottery numbers and set up a fund for giving out money to people who are reduced to begging on social media for medical bills.
Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased?
shipping drama worst drama
What is the purest ship in the fandom?
vette/spewie
What are your thoughts on crack ships?
crackships which require you to ignore or worse betray a character’s personality (satele/marr, quinn/elara) - kill on sight
everything else - whatever
Popular character you hate?
darth marr. he is so overrated i don’t even know what to say. he has no personality, nothing. he didn’t even have a unique va in vanilla. he’s a shitty empty space that empire fandom hyped up up and away because he memes well and i loathe him.
Unpopular character you love?
i’m pretty sure this i a repeat of that question up there where i enthused about jaric kaedan
Would you recommend XXX to a friend? Why or why not?
join me in hell
Most shippable character?
eva kaayz. everyone needs a cute bisexual mirialan in their life.
Least shippable character?
darth marr. valkoriate. skadge.

190503 [Top Media] RECAP + Q&A #4WheeledRestaurant EP.03 - Shinhwa’s Eric: (W)rapper Eric's Rare Reversal Moment Was Born!
Tumblr media
Hello, your content blogger is back. Did you watch last night's broadcast?
Yesterday Eric had a lot of nicknames. Let's go see what nicknames they were. Go! Go!
Tumblr media
On a rainy day, to-go orders are many many many
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As many to-go orders as there are customers. Turning down Kyung-Hwan’s offer to help, Eric walks on his own wrapping road!
Tumblr media
Wrapping, Wrapping and more Wrapping
Tumblr media
He, who is Shinhwa’s rapper, now becomes Bok’s Food (w)rapper
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As he showed his great dance choreography, he now shows the sharp wrapping for food. You've earned the nickname "human wrapper"!
Tumblr media
Not stopping for a moment, even organizing the order slips Working Hard! b
Although there was a shortage of dumpling and rice... It was a relatively smooth for the second day of business!
What is the menu for tomorrow?
Tumblr media
After Jjajangmyeon, there is Jjampong, babam! This time, the menu is Jjampong and Bok-mandu making a comeback!
Is it the same place? Of course not
Tumblr media
The location this time is a food truck hot spot! We're starting our first dinner service in North Hollywood.
A teacher and his disciple preparing hard for business.
Tumblr media
They are using whirlwind technique to make the water pour out faster. A handsome disciple, even when pouring water.
Wait a moment! That's right, everyone. He succeeds becoming the chef’s favorite student!!! (clap clap clap)
Tumblr media
Eric has been always good at noodles boiling. GOOD.
How far will Eric's noddle boiling skills develop?
It's time for business! Because of abnormal weather in LA, it's raining, it's cold... It’s like a disaster T_T
Finally, a customer is approaching!!
Tumblr media
Each of them is in charge of a particular dish. Can I get an order? The one who doesn’t get one will be sad.... The happiest man in the world = Eric when there's an order for Jjamppong
Tumblr media
Inside thoughts when there is no customer: Come, come. Please come.
Tumblr media
When there is a customer He feels happy because of them. And we are happy to see Eric like this
Tumblr media
Isn't that such a cute moment? But it's too early to be excited. There's a kill point coming up soon^^
Tumblr media
Looking at the direction of customer's hand, he thought it’s a Jjamppong order, but it’s false…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Disappointed Eric showing a cute grumbling... Yeah, this is the killing point. Save this scene right now ♡
Tumblr media
Still, I have my work to do! Rapper's wrapping At this point, he's pretty much the master of packaging (clapping)
Wondering why the food truck is empty. Agent Eric goes spying himself (walking lightly like a cat)
Tumblr media
Secret Service Agent Code Name: Noodle Lover Honestly, isn't it so fitting for him?
Tumblr media
Without anyone noticing, He succeeds his spying mission very naturally. With this, he got a new nickname Yeomtamrik (Spy-Ric)!
Tumblr media
Next week, with the information obtained by Spy-Ric that chicken is popular in the neighborhood Bok's Food truck is going to prepare for chicken too!
Will they be able to attract many customers to the truck again?
And the Ric-pisode Q&A_3 that went on yesterday! What kind of questions did the Orange Princesses ask this time? Shall we take a look together?
Tumblr media
Orange Princesses and I are crying.. We, Koreans, live and depend on rice too ㅠㅡㅠ
Tumblr media
To relieve stress, It's spicy chili Jjampong!
Tumblr media
Of course! A human-(w)rapper-like answer
Tumblr media
There's even a Mandu-Ric like answer!
Tumblr media
Since we don’t have yellow leek in Korea, I guess Orange Princesses were curious about it too!
Tumblr media
Wow, from that up there, we can see how cool Eris's personality is
Tumblr media
Although they wrapped up so many dumplings... He only ate... 2 pieces ㅠㅠ
Tumblr media
He is certainly proud of Bok's Food!
Tumblr media
Why was it cold on this day.. I hate the weather ㅠ Why you did that weather
Tumblr media
That's right. The secret of sharp wrapping is to minimize unnecessary movements.
Tumblr media
Isn't this answer so cute?ㅠㅠㅠ Because there were only dumpling orders, so Sad-Ric..) Don't cry! Don't cry!
Tumblr media
Of all the nicknames (he got so far), without fail Eric's pick this time is.... Onion-Ric again!
#[Ric-pisode] '4 Wheeled Restaurant - American' #Check Ric-pisode_EP3 Q&A in FULL
(t/n: since Q&A for EP3 are in this recap, no separate Q&A post this time)
The fact that he has gotten so many nicknames, It means that he has a variety of charms does he? Great feeling (thumbs up!)

Part 4
In lieu with the previous part of this talk/post; everyone critiquing here on Redlinestation reviews your art with their point of reference for critiquing being “the broad average”. You might have read a good load of anatomical commentaries on this blog already, stating that “ usually X limb / body part behaves like X “. This rhetoric is not there to discredit any deviation from a fixed ‘standard’, but we use to it to make you aware that it simply -reads- incorrectly on your drawing. Sometimes the minute differences between us, real life people, and the fictive stylized characters simply cannot translate properly without the artist consciously making a statement by implementing it, despite technical conventions warning against it.
I can give an example, on how I personally deviate from the ‘broad average’, that is used when critiquing anatomy: In real life, my neck has a large hump that makes it look like my head is never fully aligned with my spine, my right elbow cannot bend/stretch properly and my torso- to- leg ratio is pretty out of proportion when considering the usual distribution.
These are all ways that I could potentially counter an argument claiming that my drawn character is “ correct “, and technically I wouldn’t be wrong in saying such. But it doesn’t change the fact that it -reads- strange to the viewer. And, unless I want to raise a political/ethical question or make it my agenda to alter a pre-established convention in my art, I would find myself fighting an uphill battle with the average human’s perception and understanding of, say, anatomy.
Human bodies are weird! Someone might have abnormally big eyes, abnormally flexible bodies, weird joints, etc. However, unless you tell us, we don’t know you’re deviating from the norm. If you draw someone with scarily big eyes, this reads as an anatomical mistake to us, unless you let us know that this was intentional. Again, we can’t give every deviation from reality the benefit of the doubt because otherwise, we will never be able to correct anything.
Tumblr media
To give a really silly and rudimentary example:
If a chef puts a load of vanilla in your spaghetti dish, you would be well in your right to question if the said chef had any idea what he was doing, unless you knew he’d studied culinary arts and knew how to cook spaghetti properly, before adding his own twist on it.
And frankly, there’s a much higher chance that, that dish is gonna taste really strange if the chef has no grasp on his technical prowess. It is (almost) a no-brainer, and the art-world, whether we want to or not, works in the same way. Are there people who have luck with fusing spaghetti and vanilla without any understanding of culinary basics? Probably, but it would be arrogant of us to assume that we all can do that.
That is not to say that people who have mastered the technical skill are automatically good at abstractions. There are so many pieces out there that are certainly examples of great draftsmanship, but come across as boring and uninspired. Learning abstract concepts is really difficult too. For some, it’s actually even more difficult than learning the classic disciplines, given how chaotic- yet- structured your thought-process has to be to master it. So, don’t even for a second consider technical skill more valuable than abstract skill.
For example, let’s look at a staircase. You need to take one step at a time - one foot goes before the other. Neither your right or left foot is more valuable- you need them both equally to get to where you need to go- but one foot has to move before the other to climb the stairs properly. It’s the same with technical and abstract skills. Neither is more valuable, but one goes first (and it’s generally technical skill)

Fanfiction Recommendations [GOT7] I
Having trouble looking for some good fanfictions? I'll try my best to put the fanfics you are looking for on this list! {the ones I listed here are the ones I've already read or currently reading} [fanfictions belongs to owners] i have a lot more than the ones i have listed here but this is only the first one. I'll do more kpop groups fic rec besides got7~ Please like or reblog if this helped you in some ways. I spent more than 8 hours doing this (and im hella tired) and typing a lot so i appreciate if you atleast like it. if there's a specific group and a specific ship you want me to do fic recs.. ask away! :D For now, enjoy~~ GOT7 [on asianfanfics] ~ 2jae -> OPERATION: LOVE by UnGodlyHours description : When a diligent agent threw his life away to pursue an "impossible" mission, he vowed to get it over with as soon as possible without any strings attached. However, his careless gambling led to an unexpected development in the agent's relationship with his target. This development seems to be the reason that's stalling the agent from completing his assignment. But he isn't even complaining. status: completed ~ markjin -> OPERATION: HATE (PREQUEL) by UnGodlyHours description : Park Jinyoung grew up lavished in wealth and luxury. Never has anyone dared laid a hand on the demanding young master. Mark Tuan grew up far away from his loving family. Never has he ever taken liking to rich spoiled brats. status : ongoing ~ 2jae -> OPERATION: US (SEQUEL) by UnGodlyHours description : Madly in love with his husband, Jaebum does everything to please him and everything to protect him. Happily in love with his husband, Youngjae would willingly give up his life for him in a heartbeat. And there's Mark and Jinyoung, the ideal of two husbands who are deeply in love with each other. status : ongoing ~ 2jae -> Daddy, Are You There? by UnGodlyHours description : A single dad. A very sassy five-year-old. And a beauty with a soft heart for kids. status : completed ~ 2jae -> Dangerous Game by chocopieyj description : Youngjae isn't a kid anymore. He doesn't play games with his friends like he used to. But there's a game; a game that he was forced to learn, a game that's not fun but is fruitful. An adults game with only one rule: Don't fall in love. Never. status : ongoing [M] ~ 2jae -> All I Want by deffsouls description : Youngjae was an observer. No, he wasn't the class weirdo looking out of place, but also wasn't anything like the person he was in love with. It would be best to describe him as a mere outsider. He couldn't even be considered a supporting character, but 'narrator' fitted him well since he never had his own story to tell, always focusing on people around him. Never himself. Had Youngjae known what would happen later, he would've remained that way. status : ongoing [M] ~ 2jae -> You can be the boss by deffsouls description : The moment his father died, Youngjae knew something was off. There was no way a boss would have let himself killed that easily, much less with no clues left behind. Completely alone with the family business to run, now it was up to him to put the pieces of the puzzle together, find the culprit and take revenge. As he goes down a deranged path, secrets from present and past start to emerge, making Youngjae start to question if everything he had been through until that day was really due to fater or merely family business. "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns in all the world, he walks into mine." status : ongoing [M] ~ JJP -> The Im Family by Jheiaa description : Stories about parents Jaebum and Jinyoung, going about their daily lives, as they figure out parenthood ft. little ball of sunshine Youngjae. status : ongoing ~ 2jae -> Red Sky by chocopieyj description : The sky was painted blue the day they met. When he realized how false that color was. How unreal was the world he was living in. Then, everything turned into a bloody red. A crimson sky shared with him. status : ongoing [M] ~ 2jae -> Thank you for being born by MBLAQloveu description : a/n status : ongoing ~ 2jae -> Love You to Death by immskx description : Everyone knows JB and JR are a "thing". Its not hard to see that. But no one knows what happens when night falls, and the door to JB and Youngjae's bedroom closes. No one knows that Youngjae's the one that takes all the stress away from JB... That's he's the one that loves JB through all his flaws. The one that follows without any question... No one knows. And it seems as if JB wants it that way. status : ongoing [M] ~ markjae/yugjae/markgyeom -> Pic Me! by Choseong description : Mark is one of the best photographer in his division he got a tip that Yugyeom was going to a love cafe. Yugyeom's interest is the pastery chef. Mark's interest is him. status : ongoing [M] ~ 2jae -> Home by purplenekochan description : Youngjae loves Jaebum and Jaebum loves him back. Youngjae knows he loves Jaebum more than Jaebum loves him and he is okay with that. Their friends think Jaebum does not love Youngjae enough, until a certain Mark Tuan came into the picture and proved everyone wrong. status : ongoing ~ 2jae -> Fallen by nairneverasi description : Youngjae is a first year student at university. Despite his tough family background, he is cheerful and lively. With his best friend who's called Yugyeom, they survived the first trimester. However, things happen to become more dangerous and exciting. Youngjae gets to know Jaebum, the handsome senior, who has a girlfriend. Apparently, the last two trimesters seem to be adventureous but risky as well. status : completed ~ markjin -> Dreams of the devil by Miyakolzumi description : When Park Jinyoung, a science freak in his second year of high school, is suddenly pulled into a different world full of supernatural creatures that attend school together, he wakes up in the bed of a handsome young man that calls himseld the devil's son and Jinyoung can't quite deal with it all. status : ongoing [M] ~ 2jae -> Rewind by belonika description : [college!AU] The struggles of sharing a dorm room with someone unaware of his cuteness and its effect on the poor roommate. status : ongoing ~ 2jae -> My Unsociable Sub by markjincupid description : They say 'opposite poles attract.' Maybe that's the reason why Jaebum, a very confident, filthy rich and straight forward guy, felt a massive pull towards the unsociable and shy employee of his company, Youngjae. Trying to be comfortable with his ever so persistent and demanding boss wasn't at all easy but can Youngjae still keep with the progress between them when he finds his gorgeous boss was a dominant? Much more when Jaebum tells him he wants him to be his submissive. Will Youngjae run away? Or will his undeniable submissiveness gave in to temptation? status : ongoing [M] ~ 2jae -> Blood Scent|2jae by Orenji-Senpai description : His eyes, nose, and dark stained red lips. I want him to be mine but I'm afraid to bruise his pale skin. I want to show him the real me but I'm afraid he would fear me. I want to protect him but I'm afraid he would question me. I want to kiss him but I'm afraid he would reject me. What can I do to please make your scent mine? status : ongoing ~ 2jae/yugbam/markjin -> An Unexpected Happenstance by beeayypee description : No one knew that seven typically sexually frustrated and chaotic boys from all walks of like would make a messy outcome. No one knew these bunch would prosper their way through high school, together. No one knew they were desperately suffereing to fit into the society. No one. status : ongoing ~ yugbam -> We Got Married by YugBam97Lover description : The maknae couple secretly got married. And it's up to older boys to keep it a secret from the public and JYP. status : completed [M] part of "GOT7 ENGAGEMENT SERIES" ~ 2youngjae -> baby bear by choimiah description : Youngjae knows that it's abnormal, unconventional, and downright filthy. But he loves the rush of being ogled and desired and the center of anyone's universe. He can't help the thrill of stretching himself on camera and having someone thousands of miles away or even blocks away from losing themselves because he's doing everything right.

22 Facts About Garden Of Eden Movie Wiki That Will Blow Your Mind | garden of eden movie wiki
Yesterday the Danish Toymaker Lego arise its affairs for a absoluteness TV appearance to be launched in 2015, rumoured to be based on the abstraction of Master Builders, the top “construction workers” in the crazily acknowledged Lego Movie beforehand this year.
The Garden of Words – Wikipedia – garden of eden movie wiki | garden of eden movie wiki
Surely the appearance will be added about the minifigs than the personalities of the bodies putting them together? Well, no, contempo history would advance otherwise.
As Paris Hilton abundantly said of her absoluteness program, which ran from 2003 to 2007:
Simple Life is a absoluteness appearance and bodies ability accept it’s real. But it’s fake. All absoluteness shows are affected basically. Aback you accept a camera on you, you are not activity to act yourself.
Television has afflicted badly in the accomplished two decades.
Back again there were a baby cardinal of cable or accessory channels and a few earthbound networks broadcasting accepted formats, based aloft blur flat assembly methods, of bearings comedies, police/crime procedurals, quizzes, cartoons, and so on, application able actors or presenters, alive from scripts.
Today, a absolute ample admeasurement of its programming in all TV formats (free-to-air, cable, and satellite) could be advisedly declared as “reality” – as apparent from scripted shows with about aerial assembly values.
Reality TV covers a advanced array of formats such as claimed makeovers, “Mr Right/The Bachelor” programs, survival, aptitude contests, affable contests, home advance contests, weight abridgement contests, “real housewives of X city”, docusoaps (programs that arise to be documentaries but accept the feel of soap operas), dancing competitions, job-seeking contests …
One of the tropes of absoluteness TV – the filming of non-actors in absolute settings, usually entailing some ambush or prank, charge go aback to Alan Funt’s 1948 Candid Camera, a architecture active by MTV with Punk’d in 2003.
But, like the hidden camera abstracts of analyst Stanley Milgram, those shows did not backpack the taint of suspicions of it all actuality a put-up job – which takes us aback to the catechism of what absoluteness is.
In some respects, absoluteness TV, or the ambiguous activity that we are watching article synthetic, goes aback to an American historian Daniel J. Boorstin, who in 1962 produced a book alleged The Image: A Guide To Pseudo-Events In America.
Boorstin attacked “pseudo-events” such as columnist conferences, presidential debates (which existed alone to be reported) and publicity stunts affected by accessible relations and announcement professionals.
He additionally attacked the accomplish of celebrity – “a actuality who is accepted for his well-knownness” (later accepted as “famous for actuality famous”). His insights are about awesome in their predictive ability of “celebrity-industrial complex”, aural which abundant of absoluteness TV exists.
Media bookish Misha Kavka advance the abutting appearance of absoluteness TV from 1999 onwards, calling it the age of Surveillance and Competition, with programs such as [Big Brother](http://bit.ly/GRTDFz and [Survivor](http://bit.ly/1z8EOrI.
The Garden of Eden – Doritos Ad 2008 – YouTube – garden of eden movie wiki | garden of eden movie wiki
A alternation of automated strikes by US actors, writers and account in the backward 1980s and aboriginal 1990s helped accelerate the chase for assembly that would footfall about unions and chase for lower-cost formats. Absoluteness TV helped break those.
Companies such as the Dutch aggregation Endemol, E!, [Bravo](http://bit.ly/1nnbuXJ, and MTV were able to aftermath absoluteness architecture shows at abundant lower costs than boilerplate assembly houses and networks.
Endemol developed Big Brother and franchised the appearance throughout the world. Over time it developed added adult programming, including accepted dramas and comedies, including Australia’s Offspring.
Franchising of formats has provided a abundant antecedent of assets for developers.
Survivor, a bold architecture appearance area bodies are “marooned” in acrid environments, launched in 1997 as a Swedish show, and debuted on US TV in 2000. It has been a ratings champ for added than a decade. Aboriginal morphings of absoluteness TV (perhaps allowance lower the bar of what was adequate on TV) were “Trash TV” programs such as the allocution shows of Maurie Povich and Jerry Springer.
Kavka argues that “ordinary people” who arise on absoluteness shows sometimes become celebrities themselves, but not consistently in agency they had anticipated.
Sara-Marie from the aboriginal alternation of Big Brother in Australia, who had been nominated for boot six times afore assuredly actuality voted out, was greeted on her avenue with screams of admiration by a nation agog on replicating her blithesome “bum dance” in blush pyjamas and bunny ears.
None of these abrupt celebrities could be declared as accepting talent. On the contrary, the absolute affair they became acclaimed for – ignorance, malapropisms, axis one’s basal to the camera and slapping it – could be bigger declared as “anti-talent”.
Ray Richmond of the Hollywood Reporter counted 18 casting agents in the pre-production of a Gordon Ramsay affable show:
Why does a affairs busy primarily by the absolute advisers and barter of absolute restaurants charge 18 bodies to casting it? If the casting department’s job is carefully aloof out the eateries and anticipation allure and on-camera appeal, are they not in actuality administering auditions?
To a assertive extent, then, the arena we see on awning – staff, affronted chef, barter – is all pre-arranged. American media analyzer Jennifer Poszner has declared the way absoluteness TV producers will generally attending for stereotypes to casting – such as the alleged abandoned or the impaired amateur – so role-taking on the allotment of participants, at about-face from their accustomed behaviour, seems to be the norm.
Contestants on the Idol/Voice franchises sometimes arise in Ford commercials, appropriately breaking bottomward the barriers amid appearance and bartering break – a awe-inspiring antagonism of artefact placement.
When Survivor casting affiliate Jerri Manthey appeared on a 2004 account show, the admirers could alone focus on the bogus persona of Manthey as a villain on the appearance and booed her off: as she fled, she cried “We’re absolute bodies too!”
Lewis Milestone – Wikipedia – garden of eden movie wiki | garden of eden movie wiki
It is additionally accurate that the confected battle congenital into abounding absoluteness shows leads to what has been alleged “Humilitainment” – the ball amount we allegedly are meant to acquire as contestants are bullied, critiqued and abide rituals of shame, abasement and embarrassment as they are afar from a aggressive bearings – expelled from Absoluteness Garden of Eden.
As Ben Pobjie empiric about Masterchef in the Sydney Morning Herald:
But look, the important affair is: somebody is activity to cry.
Some analysts accept affiliated this abnormality to that of the German abstraction of Schadenfreude – the amusement one derives from the adversity of others. This is generally affronted by the absurdly artificial pausing of board giving their in-or-out adjudication on the contestants.
The economics of celebrity is additionally angry up with how money is fabricated out of the shows.
The Kardashian ancestors produces books, accouterment brands, attach polishes, perfumes, diet supplements, cosmetics and accouterment boutiques. Endorsements of added articles becoming them US$65 actor in 2010. Social media accelerated these processes.
Additional money flows into the coffers aback shows breach revenues with telephony account providers admirers use to buzz or argument in to vote for a contestant. Kavka argues that already a actuality has spent money on a call, they are added acceptable to absorb money on the iTunes download, a single, an anthology or a admission to a alive achievement – in added words, they become emotionally invested.
Pop ability academic Leigh Edwards credibility out that Coca-Cola thinks it is account US$64 actor a year to accept Coke containers in advanced of the board of American Idol, addition archetype of artefact placement.
Perhaps crucially, absoluteness TV is so abundant cheaper to aftermath than accepted high-production amount shows – anywhere from 50% to 10% of the cost.
While abundant of absoluteness TV seems to be live, to be accident in absolute time, such is generally not the case.
Shows such as The Apprentice may accept a cutting aeon of bristles months, and alike the aptitude shows may accept assorted re-takes. On some shows such as Big Brother and the Kardashians, hundreds of hours of band or blur may be shot, which agency alteration becomes absolute important.
Because so abundant blur is attempt in absoluteness programs, alteration assumes a greater accent than it commonly would. Here, Jeff Dawson discusses some tricks of the trade:
So what is a Frankenbite? Simply put, a Frankenbite is an account chaw that has been CONSTRUCTED (capitals in original) from bits of contrarily different account material. It is a book or alternation of sentences MANUFACTURED in the edit, as against to a book of alternation of sentences absolutely captured ‘in reality’ on set. This is alleged CHEATING. A Frankenbite follows the aforementioned logic, but takes it to a added acute level.

I didn’t go to Japan to make friends… But during my 7 day solo trip around Hokkaido, I had the pleasure of meeting some quality people who opened up theirs arms to a complete stranger. However brief our time together was before nature pulled me away, these people made my individualistic journey more sociable and connected. Through the process, it helped a foreigner like me feel a whole lot more welcome in this wonderful country. So in chronological order...
The Friendly JR Gatekeepers When I made my first stop in Hokkaido, my mind was filled with uncertainty. What can I even do in Hokkaido (result of not doing much homework)? What are Hokkaidans like? Is that even what you call them? Is it going to be this cold the whole time (the chilly rain was drizzling so slowly that I first thought it was snow)?… As I was waiting for the hourly transfer train to Hakodate, I went to chat with the gatekeepers to kill time… cause why not. Luckily, they spoke the best English I had heard in these past two days and I was ecstatic! I took this rare opportunity to ask them some translation questions and together, we constructed a brief introduction I can use to introduce myself to others. It goes: “Watashi wa MIT de benkyou shiteiru daigakusei des. America kara kimashita. Watashi wa nijūni sai desu. Watashi wa Gijutsu-shxa desu”. Simple, but to the point; a short answer, but I was immensely grateful.
The Global German Engineer My airbnb in Hakodate was huge. It was a 4 story building with several rooms every floor, in addition to lounge areas and showers. But the weather there is still very cold and rainy, which is not inviting to most tourists (except for the careless ones who didn’t do sufficient prior research, like me). My host shared that his place was in fact very empty, but there is this German dude down the hall. I didn’t think much of it because I didn’t come here to make friends… But on my way out, I saw the German doing laundry, and I couldn’t help but flex my extremely limited German knowledge and say hi. This guy was chill. It turned out that he is a software engineer from Munster working remote. I suggested that if the stars align, we can grab dinner when he’s done with work at 7pm. After hiking Mount Hakodate and exploring the old warehouses and streets of Hakodate, it was exactly 7pm and I was hungry. Wow, the stars aligned… We met up at this local restaurant that our host recommended. It was an one woman show where the mom cooks traditional Japanese comfort food. I was so down! The food was amazing. Falk and I shared some stories, talked about working abroad, and pondered about life and how exciting it is. Then we grabbed a picture with the master chef before I went home to crash (camped out the previous night at Sendai and did not have any sleep at all).
MIT Students from the Other Side of the World For my second night camping, I decided to set up right next to the train tracks of the JR station in Noboribetsu. I figured that since my tent is green like the bushes and the JR stops running at midnight, I should be safe and people wouldn’t come wander here. I was right. But like the first night, it rained again and I woke up at 3:30am freezing and wet. What’s nice about waking up early in Japan is that the sun rises at 4am. So I decided to walk to the water area cause… water is nice. As I got closer to the beach, 3 guys walked out of a van. It’s freaking 4am, what are these guys up to? “Wassup guys, are you going to the beach too?” “Nah, we’re going bouldering!” We had a really funny conversation. I found out that they are college students studying STEM nearby (what a small world). And they are driving here early so they can have some fun with the rocks before classes begin. They’re from a place nearby called Muroran, and their tech school, appropriately, is called Muroran Institute of Technology… I was really confused at some point because I said I am from MIT and they said they are as well, correctly so, but I had never seen them on campus before. Anyways, I really enjoyed crazily camping next to the train tracks and waking up to bump into these other crazy people doing crazy things in the middle of nowhere crazy early.
The Hitchhiker-Friendly Family After visiting Farm Tomita, a lavender farm, and being overtly disappointed because most of the flowers has not bloomed yet and lavenders doesn’t even smell that good in person, I embarked on a 4 mile trek to the next train station (as opposed to walk backwards for a mile…). After walking what seemed like an endless road along never ending rice paddy fields, I decided to spice things up and try my luck getting a ride on the road. After 30 minutes of walking with my thumbs up, a tiny orange car (all Japanese cars are super small) stopped in front of me. Jean was on her way to Biei with her family, which is actually where I wanted to go as well! She shared with me her very interesting story of how she moved to Japan 9 years ago to raise her kids, learnt Japanese once she got here by watching TV shows (there is hope y’all), and how the working culture here sucks. I asked her about the weather and whether if it’s normally this cold at this time of the year, and she revealed that the weather this year has been very unusual. In fact, her farming friends are worried that their rice fields won’t yield because of the abnormal coldness at this time of the year. All in all, I really appreciated her ride and she was happy that I contributed to her annual statistic of picking up hitchhikers (I was her first one this year!!!).
The Drunkenly Generous Local This time, I was in a small fishing town with a population of perhaps 500, aka middle of nowhere. I took a 2 hour bus from Otaru, a famously romantic spot that tourists love, to visit Cape Kamui and Ōgon, and decided last minute to camp at Ōgon as opposed to return to the city. There’s a total of 4 restaurants here and I chose to go to Jun’s seafood restaurant cause it won my 4 sided coin toss. I sat at the bar table of this very local restaurant since I was alone, and here is where I met my favorite local of this entire trip. I put in an order for a seafood bento, basically exactly what the guy next to me was eating because DAMN that looked fine. Then I just kept to myself and started writing down some thoughts and feelings in my journal. As I was waiting for my food, the local next to me offered me a piece of his fried chicken. Oh how can I resist? I had heard great things about how the chicken here is fried in a unique way but I never ordered it because I didn’t want to eat the whole thing. I thanked him and we started chatting. He used to work for an American Film company in Taiwan, which explains how he knows English, but he has since forgotten most of it. This man was extremely ebullient and friendly. He tried to ask me a lot of questions and I tried my best to answer, and in the process, he offered me “Japanese vodka” (made in Korea lol) multiple times, freshly fried shrimp tempura (oishii), and at some point, he even offered me his entire bento! Even though I didn’t double my meal by taking his bento, my dinner turned into a feast of good food and social interaction. I wish that I spoke better Japanese so I can converse with him more and share more about myself. In any case, I bid him good bye after spending 3 hours with him at the restaurant and I went to camp a bit warmer than usual ;)
The Affectionate Bike Dad I arrived at Otaru at 7am on a Sunday. This was quite early for most shops because everything was still closed. As I walked around the area outside of the train station, I was intrigued by this sign advertising about a bike shop on the hill. So I followed the directions and found this cute little wooden shipping container on top of said hill with bikes all around it. I chatted with this man about the options and after some negotiation in broken Japanese and English, he offered to rent me an electric bike (WOOOO) for 2 hours, hold my bulky backpack, AND charge all of my electronics (all of which were dried); all for just 800 yen. On a high level, this was just a market transaction, but I was very internally thankful. My phone and camera batteries were dead from the night before and desperately needed charging; I was very tired of carrying my bag around because it is quite unwieldy; I MISS BIKING. So I took his awesome offer and biked around town for 2 hours and saw everything before the usual tourist invasion at 9am.
The Kindhearted Coffee Makers After my Hokkaido solo, I returned to Tokyo and promised to meet a friend for dinner at this restaurant. In retrospect, it turns out this restaurant has multiple stores and I would visit the wrong one. While I was waiting at the wrong store for my friend, most people around me were holding an umbrella and wearing layers because it was raining and a bit chilly. I stood in front of this cute little coffee shop that was like a hole in the wall. I first approached the owners and asked them if there were any places nearby where I can find WIFI so I can communicate with my friend, and they generously offered me their own. As I was standing there waiting, they offered me an umbrella, their bench to sit on, both of which I refused because I wanted to carry on the outlook of a New Yorker and someone who just finished a 7 day solo. Then they offered me a cup of their home-brew Sarutahiko "Japanese flavor” coffee, and I couldn’t help but accept it because I didn’t want to tell them to pour it away. If frozen rocks had hearts, they would melt like mine did when I took a sip of their coffee. Even though it wasn’t anything special, the location and context really warmed my soul. And deep down, I was very appreciative of their small act of kindness.
The Curious Policemen After I realized that I was waiting at the wrong restaurant, I navigated from Shinjuku to Shibuya to meet my friend. As I was traveling through the dense underground urban traffic at peak rush hour (a very long walk through a lot of busy office workers), I couldn’t help but attract the attention of the police. You see, after traveling solo in the rural countryside for 7 days, I look very funny in a big city. Aside from how terrible I must have smelled after not showering for 3 days, I was carrying this big wide green bag that could potentially fit a lot of dangerous weapons (or onigiris). So I got stopped by two policemen to do a full body check. Thankfully, they didn’t take my multitool blade too seriously and let me go after 5 minutes. But I thought it was funny how they explored my bag only to realize that the biggest pocket was used to hold my bed, leaving no space to store anything else.
