Ngl it’s a bit weird that people are saying Velvet’s new design is an “upgrade”(the whole upgrade,downgrade trend in general gives me the ick). I do like her new design,but let’s not put down her old design please?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It gave off cutesy/gothic Lolita vibes. The reason why others hating on Velvet’s old design rubs me the wrong way, is because people who wear that type of fashion already get bullied, made fun of, or harassed enough, and even get pictures taken of us in public without permission.
We also have to deal with the misconception that we’re “dressing like this for the male gaze” and get put down by other women with internalized misogyny because of this or people going,“eww why are dressing in Lolita,that book is about a pedo” despite us repeating MULTIPLE TIMES that lolita fashion is NOT related to nor does it come from that book.
I feel like there’s this weird trend that’s been happening, not necessarily recently since it’s been around for awhile, but what I’m talking about is hyperfeminine characters or hyperfemininity in general is sorta being demonized by both men and women with us getting accused of “only playing into the patriarchy and making us women look bad” if any of us dares to like anything girly or the color pink.
Like yes, not all women are into girly stuff and that’s ok. But that doesn’t give you the right to put down women who ARE into girly stuff. (I like girly things while also liking “non feminine” things myself)Lolita and harijuku fashion in general HAS FEMINIST ROOTS. The fashion/subculture was literally created to rebel against Japan’s societal expectations, norms, and patriarchy.
And most women dressing in hyperfeminine clothing in general are doing so as an act of reclamation. So surprise, surprise. You can be a feminist while ALSO BEING HYPERFEMININE.Shocker, I know right? However I’m ABSOLUTELY NOT trying to say that Viv had bad intentions with Velvets redesign AT ALL. Like I said, I love velvet’s new design and I’m not saying it looks any less feminine either.
Tumblr media
It actually kinda reminds be a bit of gyaru fashion, which is another harijuku fashion/subculture.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that the hate we get is even worse for black women. We constantly get accused of trying to be white or trying to be Asian. Like no I ain’t trying to be white nor Asian,nor am I trying to attract a man I just like cute and colorful stuff and poofy/frilly dresses-😭😭
(Though I do like gothic stuff as well since I don’t wanna stick to just one aesthetic since there’s others that I like. Referring to the whole “trying to attract a man/dressing for the male gaze” I still stand by the fact that, that isn’t what I’m trying to do. Besides I only date fictional characters so-).

Time for a brand new talentswap for this fine Tuesday! Give a warm wink and a smile to Myth, the Former Ultimate Animator!
——————————————————-
BACKSTORY AND TALENT
As a youngster, Myth‘s imagination and energy was all over the place. A combination of regular consumption of books, movies, and TV, and living in a rather creative household herself, made this Myth want to bring her odd creations into the human world. Ever since she entered her first ever short animation into a prestigious film festival for preteens, she has been on a roll ever since, with romantic and fantasy anime being her main bread and butter. Her most well-known work yet is “Up in Smoke”, a Romeo and Juliet-esque animated film chronicling the romantic escapades of a two female elemental spirits, a water and fire spirit, and the rebellion against their strict family. It earned raving reviews from critics for its adorable artstyle, its loveable characters, and its heartwarming portrayal of LGBT dynamics. In fact, most of her works have at least one LGBT character, or at least have some form of LGBT subtext. She may not have a lot of human friends apart from Wyre, but she has the support of both her friends and her massive fanbase. Even as a adult, she still has it going in the animation department. 
——————————————————-
RELATIONSHIPS
Wyre Anon, Former Ultimate Animal Breeder
Due to her wild and rowdy appearance and personality, Wyre never really had many human friends, but they compensate for this with a whole arkload of animal friends, with lizards, snakes and other reptiles being her main speciality. Myth and Wyre met as children, and quickly bonded with each other over their eccentric behaviour and lack of human friends. In fact, Wyre was the one who gave Myth the eared hat and tail that Myth regularly wears. Wyre regularly brings in live animals as a drawing reference, so Myth would learn how to properly animate animal movement. 
Outfit: Same outfit as the original, but with a cat design on the skirt, a brown fox ear headband, and a matching brown prop tail. 
Anon Scar, Ultimate Princess
As the princess of a small European country called Zunduros, Scar is the current heiress to the Zundorian throne. Myth was surprised to learn that her animated shows have quite the following in Scar’s kingdom. Despite constantly carrying herself as the “Heiress of the Untouched Shadow”, the facade quickly breaks away to reveal a heavily-concerned and somewhat maternal girl, once she realises that this entertainment giant doesn’t exactly have the healthiest living habits. Nowadays, Scar is always on standby, making sure that Myth gets her daily food and rest. 
Outfit: A black Gothic Lolita-style dress, with white lace and red bows on the front, dark red stockings, red heels, red gloves, a red rose holding up her side bun.
Fusion Anon, Ultimate Musician
As the lead singer of the soft rock band, “QUIZ BOWL”, Fusion’s songs mainly center around family and parental love. Fusion’s personality matches the subject matter of his songs, being paternal and kind-hearted, despite what his height and wild fashion would suggest. Imagine Myth’s shock when this 6’3 tall boy with a large afro dyed various colors and a leather jacket claimed to be a massive fan of her adorable animated films. Ever since Myth found out and gave him an autographed art book, Fusion has been in special interest heaven. Nowadays, Fusion helps compose music for Myth’s animated films. 
Outfit: A large afro dyed various colors, a black leather jacket with an autistic pride badge on the front over a red t-shirt, black leather gloves, ripped black pants, black boots, a guitar case strapped to his back, color contacts. 
Fusion Anon II, Ultimate Photographer
As the girl behind the famous photography blog ,“bustasnap”, Fusion II has traveled all over the world to take pictures of all the scenic landscapes she can find. Upon looking at Fusion II’s photos, Myth knew that she had to use them for background references. This has led to the mysterious disappearance of many of Fusion II’s printed Polaroids. Upon finding out that Myth was the one behind the theft of her pictures, Fusion II chose to print the pictures and hand the copies to Myth. From there, Myth learned that Fusion II is a kind girl underneath her sarcastic and flippant demeanour.
Outfit: Same outfit as her original design, but with her prized Polaroid strapped to her right side. 
Just Anon, Ultimate Gamer
Dominating popular MMORPG after popular MMORPG under the name, “anon.”, Janon spends all of his time laying down and not moving from his territory. Despite Janon’s adorable appearance and fashion sense, Janon is foul-mouthed, cynical, and hates just about everybody in this goddamn con. Well, almost everybody. He has a massive soft spot for the two Jr. Ultimates of the convention. Janon and Myth like to organize little slumber parties and nap underneath a large pile of blankets, pillows and stuffed toys, where certain bothersome Anons wouldn’t bother them.  
Outfit: A Pikachu hoodie, black headphones with the Overwatch logo on each ear, formal wear and face-mask from original design.
Sparkle Anon, Former Ultimate Traditional Dancer
Coming from a long and prestigious line of traditional dancers, Sparkle’s dancing is truly a spectacle to witness on stage. Spicing up her dance moves with glitter and sakura petals, Sparkle’s moves look like they’re straight from a high-budget fantasy movie. Topping off her stellar appearance is a loud and bombastic attitude that truly shines on stage. Just like with Fusion, Sparkle is also a major fan of Myth’s works, particularly her magical girl series. Myth regularly watches Sparkle perform in order to help with animating dancing and the movement of her characters. 
Outfit: An orange kimono with pink flower designs all over it, a purple obi, white socks, brown gets sandals, a sidetail decorated with flowers, glasses from original design. 
Egg Anon, Former Ultimate Lucky Student, and Wet Sock, Former Ultimate Yakuza
Originally the twin children to one of the biggest underground yakuza chains in the world, Egg has since been cast out of the bloodline for their unpredictable luck cycle managed to nearly doom their entire bloodline, and it’s only through Wet Sock‘s control that the entire bloodline didn’t go kaput. Upon hearing about Egg and Wet Sock’s backstory, Myth thought that this would make a good premise for a film. Needless to say, despite their cursed and violent concepts, Myth managed to look past them, to find deeply disturbed individuals that just need a hug. 
Egg’s Outfit: A bandaged left eye, a half-shaved haircut, the same same clothes from their original design, but with a clover design replacing the bird designs. 
Wet Sock’s Outfit: An eyepatch on their right eye, a half-shaved haircut, a black suit just like Fuyuhiko’s.
Curious Anon, Jr. Ultimate Nurse
As the adopted child of a hospital worker, Curious ended up learning everything that they can about the medical field and the human body. Curious has became famous and beloved at the hospital for their kind-hearted and levelheaded personality, as well as their excellent bedside vigil. Because of Myth’s constant neglect of food and sleep, Curious is constantly on standby to make sure that Myth gets the proper amount of nutrition needed to function as a proper human being. Myth may not need Curious constantly hovering over her, but she appreciates Curi’s concern for her. 
Outfit: Part of their hair tied into a small ponytail, a mint green face mask, same outfit from original design, but with a white apron with a red cross design on the front, and mint green scrubs.
Anon Nerd, Former Ultimate Mechanic
Famous for his uncontrollable temper and strength, as well as his equal caliber intelligence, Anon Nerd is known for making functional machines out of literal garbage. Unfortunately, Nerd’s entire attitude doesn’t exactly make him a massive hit with other people at his mechanics store. Despite Nerd’s own workaholic tendencies, Myth just makes Nerd so angry with her blatant disregard for her own health. Nerd regularly tries to get this adorable animator to get her eyes off her drawing tablet and just go to sleep, even if it means knocking her out with a wrench. 
Outfit: Ruffled-up hair, grease stains all over his body, a black and yellow jumpsuit, black and yellow boots and gloves, scouter from original design. 
Eldritch Anon, Ultimate Team Manager
Despite Eldritch‘s jittery and paranoid behavior in public, Eldritch is unbelievably confident when it comes to leading a group. Eldritch is the number one trainer in “Fort Ritchie‘s Boot Camp”, a training center that trains children to take on the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Ignoring the whole “apocalypse” pretense, Eldritch is really good at motivating individuals to take action. Upon witnessing Myth’s poor health, Eldritch has taken it upon himself to prevent Myth from becoming zombie bait, but Myth really doesn’t want to exercise, and seems content with being zombie chow. 
Dream Anon, Ultimate Chef
As the daughter of a professional TV chef, Dream can cook healthy meals to feed all her teammates on her volleyball team. Dream is famous for being just a big bundle of joy and sunshine, as well as her energetic and overzealous attitude when it comes to cooking. Dream has taken upon herself to cook Myth only the best of meals, in order to make Myth actually drop her work to go eat with all the others. Don’t get Dream wrong, she does enjoy a lot of Myth’s works, particularly her shonen works. But would it kill Myth to eat something with actual nutritional value?
Outfit: A white chef uniform, a pink bandana tied over her head, a pink ascot, shoes from original design. 
Iris Anon, Reserve Course Student
When you first meet up with Iris, the first thing you would notice about her is her insane clumsiness and her almost stupidly optimistic viewpoint. Despite first impressions, Iris actually managed to get into Hope’s Peak Middle School’s reserve course on academic prowess alone, which makes her a veritable genius. Despite not even having an actual talent, Iris doesn’t let that, or the horrible quality of the Reserve Course get her down. Iris watched a bunch of Myth’s anime with her girlfriend, and she is currently overjoyed to be spending the con visit with the girl behind all those masterpieces. 
Outfit: A white dress shirt, a red bowtie, a dark blue skirt, white knee-length socks, black slip-on shoes, bandages on her arms and legs, glasses, star clip, and braids from original design.
Purple Anon, Ultimate Swordswoman
As the daughter of an ancient lineage of sword fighters, Purple has been taught the art of the blade by her elders, and yet she manages to surpass them all in blade-to-blade combat. Purple is hardly ever seen without her trusty claymore strapped to her back. Despite what her talent would suggest, Purple is very timid and cowardly, thanks to her sheltered upbringing. Because of her sheltered and old-fashioned upbringing, Purple also speaks in very antiquated vocabulary that is hard to understand. Myth may not understand a word that Purple is saying, but Purple would make a great fantasy protagonist. 
Outfit: A black headband, gakuran top, a long purple skirt, lilac stockings, black slip-on shoes, a purple scabbard on her back that holds her claymore.
This series centers around this adorable animator who is unhealthily attached to her work, as the people around her show massive concern for both her and her health. 
——————————————————-
PERSONALITY
Ever since she was a child, Animator!Myth has always been into the arts and a very creative soul. Her imagination is all over the place, which helps her with her works. Aside from that, Animator!Myth is also kind-hearted and happy to lend a helping hand to people who needs it. Unfortunately, Animator!Myth has a little bit gaping flaw in her personality: she is a MASSIVE workaholic. Not wanting to let down her loyal fanbase, Animator!Myth works day and night on her animated works, much to the understandable concern of her family and friends. This unfortunately means she goes for days on end without stopping for a snack or nap break, making this already childish and loopy girl somehow even more childish and loopy. Her friends are trying their best to teach Myth that overexerting yourself is no good, and taking constant breaks is the key to success. 
——————————————————-
APPEARANCE
Animator!Myth is bespectacled and slightly chubby. Myth‘s undyed hair goes down to her shoulders. As for her clothes, on her head, Myth wears a fuzzy blue hat with ears, an ahoge, and brown stripes. Myth wears an oversized blue jacket with yellow details, that holds an animator’s tablet in one of the pockets, over a pink shirt. She also wears a red skirt, black stockings, and yellow rainboots with a paw print design on the bottom. Clipped to the bottom of her skirt is a tail that matches the hat she wears.  ——————————————————-
Well, now that I have finished this week’s talentswap, let me know what you think! In the meantime, have fun and be merry!
-Fusion Anon

It would be so awesome to be an animator! I love this talentswap!

secret language (lydia x reader)
so i was scrollin through pinterest and i came across a post (i didn’t save it oops) that was basically an alternative alphabet, and my brain was like: inspo. so basically reader was best friends with lydia in elementary school, but she had to move away after fifth grade. due to plot convenience, she has moved to where lydia now lives for their junior year.
1062 words
cw: femreader.
you know how in tv shows or movies the new girl shows up and everyone either starts making fun of her or they’re scrambling to be her friend? shockingly, that does not happen in real life. not in middle school, not in high school.
literally no one except the teacher cared that you were there. and the teacher only cared because he had an alphabetic order seating chart that you just messed up. maybe don’t do alphabetic seating charts? like mr. teacher dude, they fucking suck.
just like middle school, no one talked to you. they judged your outfit and went on with their life.
you felt a tap on your shoulder. turning around, you saw a girl dressed in a gothic style, definitely outside the norm for what everyone else was wearing at this dreary school, handing you a folded over piece of paper. people still passed notes here? 
considering you were in the front row, the note was probably for you. you took the paper and turned back around. the paper was light pink, like the girl behind you was writing on. 
you carefully opened the crisp paper. on it were various lines and dots in a thick black pen. obviously some kind of alphabet, but what was it saying?
you looked back at the girl. she raised an eyebrow.
wait a minute… did she look familiar?
it suddenly came back to you. you quickly scribbled the key to the odd alphabet in the corner, and began working on translating it.
 h e l l o  y n , d o  y o u  r e m e m b e r  m e ?  - l y d i a
you grinned. of course, it was lydia. the two of you had been the best of friends when you were in elementary school. truly, you were the queens of the playground.
like, seriously. your grade had decided that every day at recess you’d participate in a high fantasy live action role play. you and lydia had been the queens of the elf/faerie girls, at war against the human boys. in order to keep your war plans a secret, the two of you developed a secret language.
 o f  c o u r s e  i  d o , m y  f e l l o w  q u e e n .  - y n
you handed the fresh piece of paper with your message on it over your shoulder, without looking at her.
 i  c a n  n o t  b e l i e v e  w e  e n d e d  u p  a t  t h e  s a m e  s c h o o l .
lydia sent another pink sheet to you.
 m e  n e i t h e r . t h a t  i s  s o  c r a z y .
”what period lunch do you have?” lydia asked you when the bell rang. passing notes was time consuming, so you didn’t actually say much to her.
”sixth.”
lydia reached out for a high five, “we both have the shitty lunch! meet me at the door when the tardy bell rings, and i’ll let you sit with me at lunch.”
”sounds like a deal.” you shouted. you were headed to the opposite side of the building from lydia.
by fifth period, you realized why lydia didn’t like the lunch period. you were really hungry.you were a little concerned, if you’re being honest. did you really want your first real conversation with lydia since the fifth grade to be marked by you scarfing down your food like a wild dog? no. oh, and whatever other friends she had. that’d be their first impression of you. yeah, no.
you snuck some bites of food all throughout your fifth. your teacher had explicitly said not to eat in her class, but whatever. fourth period let you eat, so you’d follow the rules tomorrow.
you were originally worried about getting to the lunchroom way before lydia, and just having to stand there and wait, but you ended up walking just behind her for a little bit. you would’ve started talking to her then, but hallways are crowded, and she sure can weave her way through a crowd.
”hey, y/n!” she said when she stopped at the door.
”hey! how has your day been going?” you followed her through the crowded cafeteria.
”ugh pretty shit. like, i know it’s just the first day back, but i already hate all my teachers. except for mr. b. i  love him.”
”who’s mr. b?”
lydia arrived to a table in the corner of the room. there were already three people sitting there. they were a strange mismash of people. there was a crimson haired boy dressed in black skinny jeans and a purple sweatshirt, a girl with light brown hair and a lolita style dress with tall socks, and a boy in a button up shirt with dress pants. “mr. b’s my latin teacher. virginia, mike, max. this is y/n. we used to be best friends back in elementary school.”
the three of them greeted you with warm smiles. “so i take it you’re not in latin? or are you in the seventh period class?” the dressed up boy asked.
”uh, no. i finished my language requirements with spanish last year.”
”lame. latin’s the best. i’m mike, by the way.” said the dressed up boy.
”no way, french is totally the best.” said the girl, who you assumed was virginia.
”i’m with y/n. bare minimum.” said max.
you laughed a little, “actually it’s because my old school only offered spanish and i didn’t really like that class.”
”that’s, like, really rude of your old school.” said virginia.
you hoped that you could actually make it into their friend group. they seemed really fun to be around.
after school, you met up with lydia again. “so do you like my friends?” was the first thing she asked.
”uh yeah. they seem cool. sorry if i was a little awkward around y’all today.”
”y’all?”
”i literally just came from the south, don’t judge me.”
”well, you didn’t seem awkward to me. you should definitely have lunch with us again tomorrow.”
”well it’s not like i’m going to ruin my chance at having a friend group for no reason like that.”
@meangirlsx @meangirlmurphy @eliza-is-confused @boredomimi
ok but should i make a series out of this? i mean i know i already got a enemies to lovers lyds series (which i need to update oops) but do y’all want to see a friends to lovers one? also let me know if you want more of these random friend characters that i just made up <3

Flufftober Day Two - Rarepair
“The Game of Attention” - Celeste x Byakuya
This was actually based off a post from @oryginaldanganronpascenarios !  I thought the post was super cute so I used it as inspiration for this ^^
----
Celestia Ludenberg was never afraid to say what she wanted; which is why it was so easy for her to ask her classmate on a date. Unfortunately for her, he was not afraid to express his shock when she did it.
“You heard me, did you not?” she cooly asked. “Surely you haven’t forgotten about our little situation from the party already.” Her thin red lips formed somewhat of a pout as she took in the affluent progeny’s expressions. Astonishment turned to a thoughtful gaze then to an annoyed yet playful smirk. That was Byakuya’s most common face, as well as the one Celeste liked the most. 
“Of course I remember. Although it’s surprising for you to initiate this after your performance- or lack thereof- at that very party.” His mocking tone perturbed Celeste for only a moment.
“Are you saying I was an inefficient date, then?” 
“In the most literal sense of the word, yes. You could’ve at least tried to act like you were interested in me.” His words had a slightly higher tone and more annunciation, which Celeste had determined meant that he was being untruthful. What she couldn’t figure out though was the lie in his statement. 
“How do you know I wasn’t acting the whole time? Perhaps it was all part of my plan to get myself in your line of sight, so to speak.” Celeste folded her fingers under her chin, in that cute way that made the tips of Byakuya’s ears go red. 
Now he was off his game. “Fine, if you’re that desperate, I shall supply you with one more date. However, if you bore me again, you’ll never have another chance.” He kicked himself for agreeing to her date with only a little persuasion. He stuck out his hand, unable to go back on his word. “Well then, shall we see where this goes?”
“I suppose it’s a date.” Celeste agreed, shaking his hand. 
“Very well. I will be at your house at 6:30 pm on Thursday. Dress- normally- for a change.” The emphasis on ‘normally’ made her heart sink a little. Was her normal attire not good enough? Her sadness turned into a petty anger.
“How will you find my residency without my address? Must not have thought of that, did you?” Each word fell off her tongue like a hornet, with the intention of stinging the blonde boy every time.
He only smirked again. “157 Holbrook avenue, correct?” Celeste’s surprised face ensured that he was right. “You must’ve forgotten that I have access to school records which includes addresses and other personal information. So, Taeko, does 6: 30 work for you?” He had found himself leaning over the table to her, now only inches apart from her pale face. 
“It certainly does.” Celeste remained only a little bit angry, preferring to express her anger in private.  For now though, she focused on staring into his crystal blue eyes..
The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and the end of this encounter. 
During the rest of the day, even though it was a short meeting, Celeste could only think of the rich blonde. He had entranced her, with his intelligent words and intense stares, but every time they talked had to be some sort of game- except for the party. There, they talked like normal people, and Celeste even dropped some of her accent for him. She just wanted to spend more real time with him. 
-
Tuesday passed by quickly, then Wednesday, and finally Thursday arrived. The only interactions Celeste had with Togami were glances passing through the halls, which annoyed Celeste. They had a date in a matter of hours and he pretended they were strangers. Although that was perfectly in-character for him.. Still, she huffed knowing that Byakuya would refuse to acknowledge her. 
-
That night, Celeste tried to wear something less extravagant, as per Byakuya’s request. Most of her outfits were stiff and doll-like, but she found a cute black dress that was simpler than her usual ensemble but still reflected her style. She wore pink ribbons instead of white in order to match the accents on the dress, and switched our her enormous ball earrings for small music note ones. Her makeup stayed the same though, her red lipstick standing out against the pastels.
When a strong knock resounded throughout her apartment, Celeste felt unprepared. Maybe it was because Byakuya arrived a half-hour early without warning. Regardless, she happily let him in, but she was still confused and intended to get an answer.
“Is your watch broken? You should not be here for another twenty-six minutes..” Celeste questioned in the coy way she always did.
Byakuya snickered. “I discovered that the place to which I am bringing you is further away than I originally perceived. If you have a problem, however, I can certainly reschedule my evening without you.”
“Don’t bother, I am ready to leave now.” She started to walk past the man but turned on her heels to face him. “Aren’t you forgetting something?” She asked while sticking out her hand. There was no response from Byakuya, causing her to sigh. “A proper gentleman always kisses his lady on the hand before a date. You are a gentleman, aren’t you?” She smiled as her date took her hand and begrudgingly kissed it. At least she could still get what she wanted. 
“My driver is waiting, come on.” Byakuya urged, opening the apartment door in order for them to leave. Celeste happily complied and they were in the long black car before the sun even began to set. 
-
The driver pulled into the back of a quaint building, barely fitting into a parking spot. Byakuya hastily opened the car door for Celeste (he couldn’t risk being called un-gentlemanly in public where his image was affected), and they entered the shop. The sign out front read ‘Wakey-Wakey café’, and the inside was decorated with many pastels and lace patterns, very similar to the outfits Celeste wore other than the color scheme. It was mostly empty, allowing for them to get served immediately after sitting down. 
“What a cute little café,” Celeste cooed. The instant she walked in, her mood had lifted. Byakuya felt it too, as he was less snarky already.
“Yes, I read many excellent reviews about it, which is why I brought you here. Is your tea sufficient?” 
Celeste had forgotten about her royal milk tea already. She took a sip, expecting mediocre taste but it was just as good, no, better than anything she would have custom-made for her. Her face lit up at the surprising amount of quality. 
In order not to blush, Byakuya in turn drank some of his coffee. It was sweeter than he preferred, but most cafés didn’t  serve strong black coffee. He still couldn’t help but look at the genuine smile on his date’s face, and he wondered why he liked it so much. 
Despite his ignorance, Byakuya did notice how he had put more attention on the gothic lolita. Out of all the girls in his class, she had been the one he invited to the party, which was no coincidence. But after the party, he had been thinking about her, and noticing more of her little details. Why though? Was he not satisfied with his enormous fortune? Did he truly need a woman in his life? 
“Celestia, I have one thing to ask you. Why did you ask me on another date? Don’t lie to me.” 
The girl was caught off-guard by the question, but quickly responded truthfully.  “Hmm? I told you already. I wanted your attention; but it looks like I’ve already succeeded.” 
She was right about stealing his attention, both her and him knew it. Byakuya knew how much he wanted to spend more time with her, even though he still wasn’t sure why. But he knew he had to capture her heart in return.
“Succeeded? Oh, it’s only just begun.”

can we get a scenario with kaito asking maki to a high school dance, and maybe a little description of what they’d do at said dance?
Tumblr media
This one has literally been in our askbox for months... I'm terribly sorry this took so long to complete, anon! My perfectionism really got to me on this one because it really struck a chord in me, and I was trying a bit too hard to make it flawless. I've got it under control now... I think. Anyhow, please enjoy the fic under the cut! I had an absolute blast writing this, and I hope you enjoy some shameless Kaimaki fluff.
~Mod Shuichi~
Momota Kaito was a man with much bravado, able to bear the rigorous regimen of the astronaut training program and face the myriad dangers of outer space without batting an eye. Yet, as he prowled the corridors of Hope's Peak High School with his best friend-slash-roommate Shuichi in tow, the spaceman couldn't help but fear the task he was now about to face. The Homecoming Dance was looming a mere week ahead, and Kaito had decided to take the opportunity to try and take his longtime crush, Harukawa Maki, as his date.
That, however, was something much easier said than done. The obsidian-haired girl had the nickname of 'ice queen', which had not come without reason - she was known to ward off anyone foolish enough to dare approach her with a silent glare which, according to Kibo, was capable of cutting holes in metal.
Shuichi sighed. "Please tell me what you see in her, again?"
"I don't know! There's... this something about her that makes me want to know her better."
"If you insist. Just come back in one piece." With that, the detective left Kaito and his girl troubles to hang with his other friends. Kaito wasn't entirely sure that he could return without injury, however, as he slowly appraoched Maki's seat. Hoping his voice wasn't quivering too much, he extended a trembling finger and tapped her shoulder.
"Hey, Harukawa?"
Any semblance of control Kaito had left evaporated like a snowflake on the Sun as Maki finally turned to face him and fixed him in her crimson stare. When she spoke, he could instantly understand what Kibo meant.
"What do you want?"
So this was what it felt like to have his blood freeze in his veins, Kaito thought. Despite his best efforts to control his own speech, his paralyzed tongue could only stutter out,
"Uh, doyouwanttogotothedancewithme?"
The following five seconds were simultaneously the longest, most awkward, and most terrifying moments in Kaito's life. 'That's it,' he concluded. 'I'm gonna show up on tomorrow's news as a dismembered corpse.' Frozen in fear, he missed the look of surprise flashing across the obsidian-haired girl's face - but not her reply.
"Yes. I'll go with you."
"Uhwhat?"
Maki's face immediately morphed into a scowl as she turned away, but it was impossible to miss the shade of vibrant red now gracing her features. For a moment, Kaito thought it matched her eyes very well.
"Do I have to repeat myself? I said I'll go with you, loser!"
Internally ecstatic at her words but also not wanting to incur Maki's wrath by overstaying his welcome, Kaito left her a muttered 'thanks' as he hurriedly shuffled over to Shuichi.
"She say yes?", the detective asked.
Kaito could only let out a deep, relieved sigh. "In a sense."
The remaining week vanished in a flurry of hurried preparations, and soon the big day was upon them. The dormitory hallways were bustling and abuzz with activity as a myriad of Ultimates clad in their finest suits and dresses searched for their dates. Kaito and Shuichi also joined the crowd as they too made their way to the girls' dorms.
"Ugh, I'm never gonna get used to having my arm inside my sleeve," the spaceman muttered. He had dressed in a deep purple tuxedo with a smattering of glittering 'stars' on the lower hem for the occasion, but the formality of the event meant that he couldn't just throw it over his shoulder like he usually did with his jacket.
"Can't relate," his friend replied. He was also wearing a tux, but a more low-profile charcoal gray one with barely visible graphite pinstripes. "Most normal people wear their jackets properly, Kaito."
Kaito waved him off. "Pssh, who cares. Normal is overrated anyway."
Their discussion about sleeves and arms were abruptly interrupted when Akamatsu Kaede all but teleported in front of them, her pink strapless recital dress fluttering behind her and a lilac purple ribbon decorating her bosom.
"Found you, Shuichi! And hi to you too, Kaito. Mind if I steal him away for the night?"
An astounded Kaito turned to his sidekick. "Man, someone got lucky! How the hell did you end up going with her? Never thought you'd be her type..."
"To be honest, I have no idea," the detective replied with a shrug. "She asked me, actually."
Pouting, Kaede put her hands on her hips. "Hey hey, Kaito! No badmouthing my date here! Oh, by the way, who are you going with?"
"Harukawa Maki. I was just going over to pick her up."
"Oh, that's good to hear! She always seemed so lonely. Hope things work out great between you two!", the pianist chirped as she took Shuichi's hand and led him away. Left alone once again, Kaito resumed his search for Maki's room.
Finally facing the door, Kaito steeled his nerves one last time. Taking a girl to a dance wasn't supposed to be hard, even if she was his longtime crush who could, in fact, literally crush him to powder should anything go wrong.
"C'mon, Kaito. You're the Luminary of the Stars... you can do anything you put your mind to... the impossible is possible, you just gotta make it so!"
Reciting his mantra to himself, Kaito finally knocked on her door. He honestly had no idea what he expected to see, but the sight he faced when the door finally opened utterly blew him away. Maki had chosen a scarlet gothic lolita-style dress with generous amounts of black lace frills and a slim halter top that was only held up by a pair of impossibly thin spaghetti straps that crossed over her back before disappearing into her corset. It matched her onyx hair and crimson eyes perfectly, and she looked stunning beyond compare. Even her usual hair scrunchies seemed different... shinier, somehow. Kaito guessed they were some sort of satin.
"Stop staring, idiot!"
"O, oh! Of course, I'm sorry." Snapping out of his Maki-induced stupor, he offered her his arm.
"Shall we go?"
Maki wordlessly nodded and took his arm, and the duo made their way towards the gym where the dance was being held.
Homecoming was a very extravagant affair. Most of the artistically inclined Ultimates had been conscripted to decorate the gym into a party hall, and they had delivered splendidly. The ceiling was nearly invisible from all the banners and streamers that had been hung up, and the floor had been transformed into a polished dance floor with rich velvet carpets around the edges where the tables were. A veritable buffet of snacks, drinks, and refreshments were set out on one side, and a state-of-the-art sound system and a grand piano had been installed on the stage to complete the lavish atmosphere.
Many students had already taken to the dance floor, swaying to the music with their dates as light jazz played over the gym. As Kaito glanced at his date, unsure to ask if she wanted to dance or not, Maki suddenly whirled on him with a fiercely determined look on her face and all but dragged him off to the center of the venue.
"Wha- wh- Maki?!"
"Shut up and dance with me."
Kaito did not object. He allowed Maki to lead him in a foxtrot, the girl surprisingly well-versed in dancing to the point that Kaito had to put in a bit of effort to keep up at first. He caught on soon, however, and found himself gazing into his date’s crimson eyes as they settled into a steady rhythm. They were quite mesmerizing, Kaito thought, like swirling nebulae glowing with starlight…
He was jolted back to his senses by a finger that poked dangerously close to his left eye. "WAH!"
"Earth to space idiot," Maki chided. "You almost stepped on my foot there."
Kaito, as always, was not without a comeback. "It's not my fault you're so breathtakingly beautiful."
"Do you want to die?"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Maki's lips thinned into a line and her brow grew a slight crease as she stared into his tie, her feet slowing for a moment as she sunk into thought. "Do you really think I'm beautiful?", she mumbled.
"Of course! Even more than the brightest star!"
She blushed a beautiful shade of apple red and not-so-subtly brought her heel down on his toes.
"Ow!"
"That's for making me lose my composure."
"You really do look hot when you blush- ow!"
The pair continued to dance to the music, Maki's face now significantly redder than before. Kaito couldn't help but smile - he had his perfect date, the dance was going splendidly, and everything was just so perfectly well!
The tone of the event would soon undergo a complete shift, however. Ibuki-senpai soon took over the stage with her trademark 'music' of unintelligible screaming and yelling, and the once-calm party was now more closely resembling a rave than a dance. Kaito couldn't bring himself to understand how anyone could actually appreciate the cacophony issuing from the stage, but judging by the crowd's reaction it seemed he was the exception, not the norm.
"Wanna get outta here?", he asked his date, who thankfully seemed to share his opinion on the Ultimate Musician's 'music'. Although Maki was standing right next to him, he had to shout at the top of his lungs to be heard over the senseless din echoing in the gym.
"Please!", she yelled back.
Covering their ears, the pair headed out to the school's garden where the full moon was casting its light. Glad to be away from the chaos, they found a bench and sat in a comfortable silence for a while. When he was sure the ringing in his ears had finally subsided, Kaito asked Maki the one question he had been itching to know for the entirety of the past week.
"Why did you say yes when I asked? To the dance, I mean."
Maki averted her eyes from the astronaut, but her blush was impossible to miss. "I... I might've had a bit of a crush on you."
"Wow, I never knew that. I knew I had a crush on you, but this is... why?"
"You showed Yumeno your notes when she got sick and missed school last week. You became Saihara's friend when he was alone. You actually listen to what Tojo has to say. And you're kind and friendly to anyone and everyone you meet."
"I'm afraid I still don't see the connection."
Maki let out a small sigh. "I'm not very good with people. I want to get closer to them and make friends, but I just lash out and scare them away. But you always showed so much kindness to everyone. So I thought maybe, you were the one I could try and get close to."
"I'm honored - wait, how did you know all that?"
"I'm observant."
"Anyway, that's no big problem, Maki Roll. I wasn't really good at being social from the get-go, too." In an incredibly bold move even to himself, Kaito put an arm around Maki's shoulder. Even more surprisingly, she actually leaned into it. "I know you're a good person. I'll make sure help you every step of the way, and you'll be making lots of friends soon. I swear by the name of the Luminary of the Stars!"
"Did you just call me Maki Roll?"
Panicking, Kaito instantly froze. The nickname was something he came up with in the spur of the moment, but had he chosen the wrong thing to say? "Uh, sorry 'bout that, it was kinda stupid, I'll stop if you don't like it."
Then Maki burst into silent giggles.
"No, I love it. Nobody's ever given me such a cute nickname before. Sorry I scared you, it's the eyes, isn't it? I have to work on my expressions..." Her smile was clear on her face as she looked up towards him once more.
Kaito grinned. "Actually, I think you're cute even with the murder eyes. It's unique... it's something only you can pull off."
"Oh, shut up."
Chuckling at her remark, Kaito took her hand in his and stood up. He led her over to a small circular clearing in the middle of the garden where the moonlight shone brightest, fiddled with his phone, and set it down on the floor. The suave voice of Frank Sinatra soon filled the air.
Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars...
"What are we doing?", a surprised Maki asked.
"Dancing! The night is still young, after all, and I don't want to waste my beautiful date because the music isn't to our taste." He took a step back and bowed, extending a hand to her like he did earlier. "Shall we dance, milady?"
Maki took the offered hand. "Gladly."
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars...
Moonlight illuminated the two of them like a dream as Maki allowed herself to be led by Kaito in a gentle waltz. Her crimson dress flared out like a blooming rose with each spin, and his star-studded coattails flew in the wind with each move they shared.
In other words, hold my hand… in other words, darling, kiss me!
The pair danced all around the garden with hands clasped tight, softly mouthing the words to the song that was serenading them. The experience was similar yet completely unlike the dances they danced in the gym only hours ago - this time it was infinitely more private and intimate, a show for the two of them only. Lost in each other's company, it seemed to them as if they had been transported to a realm of nothing but moonlight and soft music and rosebushes and each other.
In other words, please be true... in other words, I love you!
The song came to a close as Kaito swept Maki into a dip, their faces hovering a mere inch apart. Purple eyes met red, neither able to look away. Lips were parted to let out warm breaths that quickened as both realized how close they were to each other. The pair were in perfect balance, each holding the other in place with their very body. And just as it seemed the fragile yet beautiful moment could last forever...
Maki took hold of Kaito's collar, drew him closer, and kissed him full on the lips.
It was as if time itself had stopped. The rustling of the leaves in the wind, the dull thumping of the music from the gym, and even the glow of the moonlight shining above melted away from her senses. There was nothing left behind but his slightly rough but warm lips on her own, the firm fabric of his jacket under her hands and his toned back beneath it, his gentle and sweet scent in her lungs and the pleasant tingling in her heart. In short, it was nothing but perfect. She could have spent an eternity in that single shining moment and never get tired of it.
Unfortunately for Maki, a slew of doubts started bubbling up to the surface like fizz in a glass of soda the moment her brain caught up to her body. Here she was, with her lips on some boy she'd literally known for barely a few hours. What if she was overreacting to someone who'd only shown her basic kindness? What if she was overstepping her boundaries when Kaito only thought of her as a friend - and a closed-off and distant one at that? What if he thought of her as clingy and obsessed over him in all the wrong ways?
"I'm sorry," she breathed, "that was uncalled for. I shouldn't have done that." She hurriedly pulled away, disentangling from his warm comfortable embrace. She was all ready to flee from the garden, flee from her traitorous emotions and this stupid feeling in her chest when a gentle hand grabbed her wrist.
"Maki Roll," Kaito whispered, "if you wanted a kiss you could've just asked."
He pulled her back into his arms in one swift movement, into that intoxicating black hole of warmth she would never be able to escape, and kissed her again with all the passion in his heart.
And of course, like all things, the second time was even better than the first.

So I’m a bit bored today, so I decided to answer 45 questions for lolitas! I got these from Livejournal, so if anyone knows the original source, feel free to tell me!
1. Please tell us your Hand Name (name that’s used ONLY in internet.) and hometown. PinkyMaggie! I’ve rarely had the experience of someone calling me by Maggie since my real name is in my description ^^” And my hometown is Miami! 2. About how long is your history as a Lolita? Two years and a half! Oh how time has passed! :O 3. What first motivated you to do Lolita fashion? I really liked the overly cute style of it which was something I never saw before! It’s also my first step into fashion! 4. After knowing Lolita fashion, have you had any time-gap or resistance till you actually started to be Lolita? Definitely! I discovered lolita when I was 13, but only started wearing it when I was 15. 5. Please define your Lolita style as much as possible. (eg. gothic Lolita, sweet Lolita, white Lolita…. Etc). I wear sweet lolita, from OTT all the way to casual! I prefer Angelic Pretty and mainly prints from 2010 and earlier. 6. About how many Lolita friends do you have? I have a few lolita acquaintances, but no one who I’d call a friend yet ^^” 7. What is the best thing about doing Lolita? It gives me a way to express myself in ways I could never imagine! While lolita is seen as a fashion with “little variety” because of its rules, there is still a ton of creative ways to wear it!  8. Conversely, what's the worst thing? I think the drama and hate that’s in the community is what brings the fashion down. I’ve seen people who want to start wearing it get turned off due to sites like cgl and Behind the Bows. 9. Which Lolita Brands do you like? Angelic Pretty!!!! That’s an easy answer! ^o^ But I also like Metamorphose and Moi meme Moitie as well. 10. What was the first Lolita item that you’ve owned? While Bodyline’s Bunny Cinderella skirt was the first lolita piece I ordered, the Squirrel Party JSK in pink was my actual first lolita piece I owned in person. 11. What is the “must have!” Lolita item? Petticoats!! A good one at that! It’s really looked over, but it’s vital to lolita! 12. Do you wear drawers? An odd way of saying bloomers, but I don’t. I just wear plain short shorts under my dresses ^^ 13. Do you have any favourite Japanese music? Ohhh gosh is there a lot ^^” Malice Mizer is the band that originally got me into lolita, but I also love Lareine and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu! 14. Where do you particularly visit as Lolita? Now I don’t really go out much both in lolita and in general, so I’d say to meets and conventions. 15. About how many times per week do you dress as Lolita? I rarely do, but I’d say once a week when I’m in the mood. 16. Please tell us about one embarrassing episode from the time when you were just beginning Lolita. Well the first time I wore lolita, I decided to do a bittersweet coord with Squirrel Party for Halloween. It ended up with me wearing a black Walmart blouse underneath with really cheap black accessories. And I didn’t have a petticoat! I went to school wearing it, and the kids there kept asking if I was trying to become Japanese. 17. What's hairstyle and color that you think Lolita would suite the most? I don’t have a preference with color as long as it isn’t neon, but I love pigtails! Specially the ones Maki tends to wear. 18. Have you ever thought of stopping Lolita? The reason? I don’t think I have, but I really hope I don’t! 19. Please tell us your heart's bible as a Lolita. (anything like a book, magazine, CD, idol...) Gothic & Lolita Bible! Mainly those from around 2006-2008. They feel so nostalgic to me despite not being from that time period. 20. Do you own a doll? Tell us your feelings about her intensely! I used to own Blythe and Pullip dolls, but I sold all of them ;-; I hope I can get the AP collabs with Pullip and Blythe dolls again. 21. What kind of make-up do you wear when you wear Lolita clothes? Pink eyeshadow with black eyeliner and false lashes, pink blush, and pink lip gloss. I’ve just started wearing make-up, so it isn’t much ^^” 22. Have you ever secretly changed clothes in a train station bathroom on Lolita day-out? Nope! 23. Are you composed when doing Lolita all by yourself? I’ve gone out in lolita all by myself and I would say so. I just pretend that I’m the only person there. 24. How much do you spend in your Lolita clothes& accessory monthly? I’d say around $200? I like to sell a lot of my stuff as well, so it’s a constant flow of money. 25. What is the most expensive Lolita thing you've bought so far? How much was it? My first release Sugary Carnival JSK and headbow in lavender all together, including shipping and SS fees, came to $250, so pretty much retail price. 26. So far about how much has the expense been for Lolita goods? I’m going to say $2,000...which really sounds like a lot for being in lolita for less than two years and being a student. I certainly know that a big chunk of that money came from my internship last summer. 27. Lolita outfit really costs money. How do you raise money to cover the cost of Lolita? Like I said before, I sell a lot of my stuff in exchange for newer lolita purchases. My old doll collection was worth around $300-$400, and I put all the money towards lolita. I had a summer internship last year where I earn quite a bit of money in a month (around $1,500). Thankfully, I’m doing the internship again this summer, so I’ll have even more money! :D 28. Have you ever bought from an online store? If so, please tell us its good and bad points and some advice for the future. If not, please tell us why not. Yep! All my lolita is from online shops! The good thing is is that you can find pretty great deals for cheap brand. The downside is that I haven’t experienced walking into a lolita shop in person. 29. Even if you sort of want to keep it a secret, please clandestinely tell us about a private manufacturer that is the best. I literally do not understand this question, so....NEXT! 30. Is there a brand and/or an item that you think, "I could never get it! But I unreasonably want it!"? AP’s Carnival in sax! I highly doubt I’d ever be able to get it because it’s so rare and expensive ;-; But then again, I have found some pretty rare lolita pieces for a cheap price. 31. What do you think about people who only do Lolita at music-lives or cosplay? You can really see the date of this question lol. I’ll assume this will be for lolitas that only wear it to conventions, and I don’t have a problem with it. Some people just don’t have the opportunity to wear it out. 32. From what age to what age is it acceptable to do Lolita? Do you think that there's a state in which someone must graduate from Lolita? (you can answer as ‘never graduate’) You can start lolita at any age! I started fairly young, and there are lolitas who are younger than me! There are also lolitas who are pretty old as well. If the person feels like the time is right to quit, it’s ultmately their own choice. 33. Is there a Lolita fashion or behavior that you think "I don't want Lolitas to do this!" about? Never talk behind someone’s back while pretending to be their friend...*cough* most embarrassing behavior *cough* 34. Is there something you think "Lolita has to be this way!" about? Uhh not really. I mean the only thing I can think of is the rules. Every fashion has its own rules, even if they can be bent. You wouldn’t wear jeans and call it lolita, but you get away with not wearing a blouse. 35. While doing Lolita, has something changed from earlier than you did Lolita? I think the amount of Bodyline and offbrand has drastically increased. Now that I know how to find secondhand AP, I’ve been wearing it a lot more lately. 36. Do you go to school/work as Lolita? My school has a uniform policy, but I wear it whenever I can! 37. Do you wear Lolita clothes as casual wear? Sadly, no ;~; 38. Do you have a boyfriend (or husband)? Do you understand each other? Nope! I’m a single potato~ 39. What do the people around you think of your doing Lolita? Do they accept it? Yeah for the most part they accept it. My friends think of it as cosplay, though, no matter what I say ^^” 40. What Lolita has impressed you the most up until now? Ohh boy....Takulu, Maki, Kaya, Lunie-chan, Princess-Peachie, Lovelylor, Shelbycloud, Mintyfrills, and a TON more! 41. Have you ever made your own Lolita clothing or/and accessories? If so, what was the best item that you’ve made? I’ve made my own accessories! The best thing I have made was a cute, pastel bracelet with a mint star charm ^-^ 42. If you have an ideal Lolita outfit or coordination, please tell us. I like have 2-3 color combinations in a coord (like pink, sax, and lavender). I really like cardigans and a poffy petticoat. Really cute, fluffy pigtails with a headbow + hair combs is also nice. Matching accessories, socks, and shoes obviously!   43. Is there a motif that you think “this is a symbol of Lolita”? The classic bell/a-line shaped dress. Petticoats have always been a defining factor to lolita for me. 44. Would you want to dress your children as Lolita? I’m going to be honest and say that I would love to! Only if you choose to, though. 45. What's your image of the ideal Lolita? Someone who truly enjoys their clothing and are happy inside and out!

Personal deep thoughts that make me ponder people sometimes and makes me cry silently alone.
So, something’s been on my mind the last couple of weeks that I’ve tried keeping to myself, that I’ve only told a few of my friends privately in my personal life...it still feels so weird and puzzling to me...warning, you might breakdown crying as I had over time, grab tissues, or want to hug me tight nonstop after you read this...it’s that intense of feels, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Tumblr media
So, I have this friend in fandom, cosplay, the arts, etc. who I will not personally name, let’s call her “J”. J has lately gone through many phases of changes that just seems to shock everyone in our life who have known her for quite some time...one minute she’s emo scene kid, next minute goth, emo, goth kawaii, emo again to suddenly lolita goth. Then she goes from rejoicing of saying she’s at some point bisexual, to making us all assume she’s a lesbian but then suddenly tells us she’s bisexual to suddenly without warning or my LGBT Gay-dar going off becoming this negative moodly beyond rage claiming, “I’m trans, but not like normal cist or mixed Trans men or women, I don’t want any physical or visual change of going from female to male. I only feel mentally/emotionally a man not no longer a Woman. You all better get used to accepting me suddenly as Trans Identifying as Male, no longer calling me by my born female name, start calling me by my brand new male name or else I won’t be happy. I will not be disrespected because I am now a male, so get used to it, don’t screw up trying to get used to going from female pronouns to male pronouns.” You can imagine that’s been...quite the roller coaster of having to deal with suddenly, going through this major “change’’. The messed up part...She now “He” never once told me one of “his” closest friends ever about this sudden change of no longer Identifying as Bisexual/Lesbian to suddenly this, especially when he knew my boyfriend and I are all pro-LGBT everything, I myself having trans friends fully going through all the phases of changing their gender/etc. So this was a surprise...especially when this friend of mine is/was my best friend...who only during my time visiting me this summer for short of a week only dressed in very highly feminine gothic clothes, full on normal female make up, not transgender clothes, or drag makeup, or even gender neutral clothing like my normal trans friends did. Prior to this, to visiting, he J had made this whole big thing of telling me, “To please privately inform your mother and family that I’m no longer going by my prior used female name and I’m now a male with a male name and educate them about LGBT Trans Rights, etc. and make sure no one messes up calling me the wrong gendered pronouns or names or else I’ll not be tolerated to be disrespected as a mixed race black/asian transgendered man.” Again, quite the angry aggressive response he gave me when I was like, “I’ll do that, mind you my family is traditional hispanic-mexican-native american but they aren’t homophobic or transphobic as you automatically assume. They’ve only known you as your past female name so, it will take them time to adjust to suddenly calling you a new name etc. Especially since you barely had told me about this all of the sudden change barely in the last year dropping this bombshell on your own Mother, Myself and my boyfriend when we’ve been bff’s for years man...you haven’t even come out male to all your real life family/relatives and friends.”   So after all that lecturing me, like I was an idiot bisexual woman, what happened...”He” refused to go by He or his male name, instead told me to not say anything to anyone, and went willingly, so willingly by his former female gender, female pronouns of a name...it made me feel frustrated, upset, confused as well as my boyfriend by this act he/she was playing with us and my family and his family who are all accepting of all races, religions, LBGT too.
  I hate to say or admit it, but I started questioning if J was confused by this sudden change of sexual or gender identities mixed up, because she went from being straight, to lesbian, to bisexual, to lesbian, to bisexual then a mixture of lesbian/bisexual to suddenly out of the blue now saying she’s a transgendered male but refuses to go through any of them if not “normal” steps a transgendered female to male or male to female person does. She still demands to be called female pronouns/names but at the same time demands to be identified as male pronounces/names? And dresses/acts fully female heterosexual woman wise? It’s really confusing for us, even to my other Trans friends when I privately sought out their advice on the matter. They told me either J is confused by identities with what transgender she wants to be, or she’s faking her gender identity trying to fit into the LGBT lifestyle or her/his circle of friends who are trans male to want to belong. I’m honestly not sure since J’s continuing to be so confusing in her contradictions, moments of episodes, identities that she/he probably isn’t sure either. I really don’t know but telling me a bff bisexual you’re this then that, then this again, hollering rage wise “I want to be known as a man!” but then claim, “I want to be identified as a woman” is very beyond confusing and messed up to act like this towards your own ally in LGBT.
But this stuff, beyond J’s episodes of emotional yelling outbursts, incidents that happened when J was visiting me for a short week, couldn’t compare to something J shared with me that just threw me into an emotional loop as He or she kept insisting suddenly “she” threw on me surprise wise...concerning J’s feeling concerning kids/babies...
When you're told something so shocking by someone in your life not long ago, how they really feel about children/babies in general to the point where their literal cold honesty without remorse shocks you to the core. They say really hate children/kids that much negatively.  I honestly don't know how to feel about this, really I don't. I know sometimes some people can't stand to say certain/specific things about children/babies or don't like certain types of kids. But to literally dislike/hate children that much to where they can't stand to be around any sort of child, kid, baby, infant, toddler or much less a pregnant woman or woman who just had a baby/ have a baby in public. Without really giving me an actual reason to really 'why' they feel this way of hate/dislike to babies/kids disturbs/troubles me. Is that normal for an individual to feel that way, or have any sort of legit phobia, or raw honest hatred for children? To the point where they'd refused to be near loved ones who are pregnant or want to see them even if they ever had a baby/child on purpose to avoid them? 
I don't know honestly how to feel about this after someone in my life told me how "they truly felt'' along with adding, "Our world's too overpopulated enough. Anyone who has a child intentionally or not is fucking selfish. To have a child in this world is selfish. I hate kids." It just makes me question a lot more things, makes me feel sad hearing this, makes me want to pity someone being that so hateful/being willing to negatively hate babies/children that much. I question whether the day I become a Mother hopefully one day in a few years if... The day I become a Mother one day to a child, I can't help but question if whether or not I would want that person in my life around me when I'm pregnant, after I have my child, if I'd allow/or want that individual around my child if they hate/dislike kids that much intolerance. The screwed up fact is that J knows that I and my guy love kids, we would like to be parents in a few years once we move in, get things in order in our lives to provide for one, have our own place, etc. That we would be happy whether having a child naturally or adopting one either way. What really upset/hurt me is this little factor, J claims she/he hates kids to the point where *points above quote J said feelings of kids* That he/she doesn’t want any of his/her own her/his self. But J had the nerve to tell me, “Well even if you get pregnant by planning to have a kid with your partner, let me make it clear not to friend include me in anything. I’m not even comfortable being at a baby shower celebration or the hospital if you give birth, or even adopt etc. I feel you want a kid with your health issues of Lupus is selfish. But maybe you’d make an alright Mom...but I hope at least you’re responsible enough to once you have a kid to raise that child, not as the sex it’s born but either gender neutral or non-gender sex assigned pronouns of she/he. I believe kids shouldn’t be classes at the gender their assigned, and parents need to educate themselves of gender-neutral ways or Trans ways to let that child be “it” not he/she or a girl or boy how people handle their kids from birth forcing the sex-gender on them in pinks or blues or toys. I hope you do that so your kid isn’t screwed up in this girl/boy society, raise it genderless or trans.” It really bothered me...a woman/trans male who hates kids/doesn’t want kids telling me how to raise my future one-day fetus/infant/baby/child. If my child was a boy or girl I wouldn’t care, would still love it. I’d dress it in either colors, rainbows or hell either gender mixed clothes because it’s just clothes! If my child when they're older, more mentally developed to understand everything, told me they feel they are possibly transgendered. Then okay, let’s see a specialist doctor or therapist who helps parents and kids educate about Transgender and LGBT positively to make sure you really feel this is what you are and no one is trying to force it on you. If my kid wants to be straight or LGBT or Identify as whatever they want, I will love them still regardless. As for others like J demanding to “educate me” on how I should raise my child when they hate kids themselves or don’t want any...that’s hypocritical b.s. and beyond hurtful insulting to me
Since then, I haven’t really talked to her/him...I’m still confused, hurt that he/she feels this way with so much hatred...hell, even told me if I were to have a kid pregnant wise/raised a kiddo of my own that they couldn’t see me due to hating kids in general that much, so she/he purposely avoid me, not want to visit/see me or my family because of a hate that much and beliefs? Seriously?!
