I know it's a loud minority of the Genshin community but:

People complaining about the 2.7 update being postponed need a reality check. Real people's health/lives are threatened by the pandemic that a lot of y'all keep trying to convince yourselves is over.

A delay of a free to play game isn't going to kill you.

So when you're on your way to touch some grass, stop by your local pharm/clinic to get vaccinated :)

I'll probably delete this later, I just need to vent.

#idk whats so hard to grasp about these situations #if youre offended by this i suggest you comtemplate why that is #anyway wear your masks and get vaccinated :)#i understand the company compensating the community...but i feel like they shouldnt need to ya know?#at least i care about the wellbeing of other people

first post and its moon knight stim hcs??? first post and its moon knight stim hcs.

ive literally been spinning these in my head for wayyyy too long, theyre half based on the show and half straight up just my hcs which are based on some of my own stims and i needed to share them SO:

Steven

it is literally canon that steven fiddles with his hands and sleeves, doing things like wringing his hands back and forth and just generally having a lot of little hands stims (i literally have reblogged gifs of his hand stims before)

i think he also fiddles with and runs his hands over different things, like different fabrics, to feel the texture of it (which is partially canon due to the scene in the Duat where hes running his hand over the pile of towels)

he also rubs the bottom of his sleeves and his shirts in-between his fingers to feel it! idk i just think hes a very texture stim sort of guy i think he loves feeling textures

pressure stims!!!!! he literally has this recurring motion that he does in the show where he holds his hands to his chest and i think he likes pressing down in a sort of half-hug motion to himself! i also think he sort of rubs over his heart when he does this sometimes

FIDGET TOY KING!!!! LITERALLY CANON!!!!! I think he has just more than the rubiks cube, i feel like he has other sorts of stim puzzles, maybe a fidget cube, things like that (i also think he would get really attached to those articulated stim toys that look like animals)

he would probably also make a lot of stim toys out of different objects, if you give him pretty much any object he will find a way to stim with it somehow

i feel like he definitely rocks back and forth, but it isn't very intense a lot of the time? it is more of a gentle sway, but he does it very often, especially when hes just standing still waiting for something

absolutely 100% a hand flapper, specifically up and down because he doesn't like the way that his fingers hit each other when he flaps his hands left to right

Jake

SOUND STIMS SOUND STIMS i think jake is such a sound stims guy

hes definitely big on whistling and humming, and makes a lot of little clicking and popping sounds with his mouth

he clicks his fingers a lot as well and moves his hand around while he does it so that the sound hits his ears in different ways (like a bat yknow? echolocation and all that)

loves to crack his knuckles for the sound and the feel, but has to shake his hands out a bit afterwards usually because they feel weird sometimes

he definitely has a stim where he taps the backs of his one hand with his other hand when hes wearing his gloves, because he loves the sound that his gloves make tapping against each other

he used to have a stim where he would drag his toe across the ground in shoes to make his leg bounce but then he would have to buy new shoes cause the toes would wear out so he does it less now

instead he rubs his shoes, specifically the toes, back and forth on the ground, specifically if hes sitting down and happens to have both of his feet on the floor

CHEWS ON FUCKING EVERYTHING if it can be chewed on, even if it shouldnt be chewed on, i guarentee he is chewing on it. i mean pencils i mean pencaps i mean zipper pulls i mean Anything-

he usually tries to have something edible to chew on at all times with him, usually some sort of hard candy, and he also has a chewing necklace that he wears a lot at the flat, and sometimes under his jacket if he feels like he'll need it when hes out and about

Marc

i feel like marc has a lot more subtle stims (hello masking!), unless hes around people he trusts

he definitely has a chewing stim, but specifically softer things like fabric and soft chewing necklaces

he bites on the edges of his sleeves when he is at the flat, specifically when he is thinking, or blankets and pillows if hes overwhelmed

if he not at the flat he usually just grinds his teeth if he has the need to chew on something, he constantly has jaw aches because of it

he rubs his hands and his knuckles over his thighs a lot and taps his fingers on his legs

i definitely think he clenches his fists over and over again before stretching his hands out like he wants to flap his hands but is too tense, especially in public

when he starts to unmask more he definitely does a lot of hand flapping mixed in with gesturing as he talks

he also cracks his knuckles and his wrists out repeatedly both for the sound and the feeling of it, he does it a lot when hes out of the flat

he also has a stim where he rolls his shoulders back and stretches out his neck? he isn't quite sure if it really is a stim but he does it for the same reasons that he does all of his other stims so it counts

i also think he rocks up onto the balls of his feet a lot and back down, mixed with a bit of rocking? this feels like one that he only really does when hes comfortable with who hes with

JUMPING!!!!!! THIS IS LITERALLY CANON!!!! he jumps up and down and tucks his legs up when he does to get more height and i think that he does it when hes really excited about something

#moon knight #marc spector #jake lockley #steven grant #moon knight system #autistic marc spector #autistic steven grant #autistic jake lockley #autistic moon knight system #moon knight hcs #this literally took me multiple months to complete and post because i kept changing things and thinking of new things LMAOOOOO #and i kept getting stuck on marc for some reason???#because i genuinely. cannot remember what it was like to mask despite only starting to unmask recently #but anyways are a lot of these projection? yes.#yes they are.#theo’s ramblings

no the wildfire is pretty bad. I live in toronto at its really hard to breathe, it smells like a wood fire and I've been hearing from friends in NYC its just as bad. If you have asthma issues or lung issues you probably shouldnt be outside.

As for canceling they wont cancel, the today show is inside a studio where I imagine there is an air filtration system, and celebs have car ready for them to drive them places.

They may cancel fans from congregating outside but thats about it.

Thanks Anon.

That sounds pretty bad. 😔

I hope everyone in the North American area stays safe 🥰❤️

And yes, plz wear a mask or even stay indoors if you have to.🙏🏾 The air quality sounds horrible. 😔

Hey. If you dont wear a mask. If you dont think wearing a mask is important anymore. If you arent caring abt being safe in public. Just unfollow me now. Please. Im so fucking tired of you all. Im tired of having to be around people who dont give a shit everyday. Im tired of people thinking its a problem they shouldnt do shit about. I kinda hate you if you arent wearing a mask and i cant hate you because that would mean hating most people i meet. Regardless, im just mad enough rn that please just, see your way and unfollow me. Or think about why it is your actions of, idk, being a leftist and yet not wearing a mask in class because god that would be hard, why those actions might be bothersome

#im really fucking tired of this. i hope everyone in danger from covid stays safe. i also wish the immunocompromised people i did meet #would wear fucking masks #because they dont.

Persons of Interests Document

Heres something I've written based of the Zombie AU

//CW for some links to artwork with some blood in them

The last helicopter left the city at exactly 12:49 AM on the 10th of September. I don't know why she decided to stay. I asked her, I BEGGED her to go. Yet she stayed. Once she puts her foot down, she doesn't back down. She would remain with me even if it meant saying goodbye to her family.

First class tickets out of the city and into the safety of the military seemed like the best I could do for them. I figured they’d be safer outside than in the bunker right in the center of the city. That decision keeps me up at night. I wish I could tell myself that she doesnt know, but Jennifer is a lot smarter and observant than I ever gave her credit for. My only hope is the potential that they could’ve escaped and somehow made something for themselves out there. That's the only thing keeping their status as missing, and not deceased.

Jennifer’s ability to inspire people in desperate times shouldnt surprise me. People loved her, and they looked up to her for guidance and advice. When we started sending scavengers out, she shined as a leader. Amongst ex-soldiers, mercinaries, and former emergency services members, she won the pick for Chief of Security by a landslide. I know she is more than capable of handling herself, but I worry about her constantly. I guess I know what it was like to be in her shoes in the times before. Her status is alive. Should that change, I don't know if I'll be capable of documenting it.

Lucas’ fall into delusion was some of the hardest hitting of when we were still secluded from the outside. He had convinced himself that I had been too lenient, and that executing certain individuals who posed a threat would be beneficial to our isolated community. The fact that me killing him caused such a stir sent that theory to the grave along with him. Lucas’ status is deceased. It was the first life I had taken since the outbreak. I’ve killed many more people since, but it doesn't progress the community further. It just means less people that disagree with us and more blood on my hands.

Frances has been a great asset to the community as her pinpoint accuracy has saved many lives. The people and I owe her a great debt, but she shrugs it off as nothing. All she asks for in return is more ammunition. Oftentimes she acts as a scout in the city. Going in alone into the concrete jungle and bringing back important intel. In fact, she was the first one to encounter the Marshals. Current status is alive. One day I’ll find a way to repay her. Maybe I’ll look for her hat she lost a long time ago.

Some of our outer city manufacturers managed to find their way back. Whittaker kept his metalworkers alive long enough to make it to us from the radio signal we had sent out to our facilities. Not everyone made it back to us though. Cindy is currently missing at this time, but truth be told I don't think she couldn't have made it out there on her own.

As for Hawthorne? Its hard to say for certain but…

For a long time I was greatly concerned about Peyton or her gang managing to survive the outbreak, and launching an attack on us. As time passed the concern lessened, but I was always afraid that she would come to our gates and proceed to make this new life of mine a special kind of hell. That day never came, and Frances had become curious. Their compound was on the other side of the city, but that didn't seem to dissuade her. Frances’ report goes as follows:

“The place was abandoned, seemed like nobody had inhabited the place since the outbreak. Some kind of massacre took place. A bunch of skeletons were strewn about still wearing those stupid colored clothes Pb’s freaks liked to wear. I skulked around until I found her. A skeleton with its head detached lying in some command room. That faded purple jacket was unmistakable. No sign of Cat mask or that twitchy little shovel creep neither. Well, besides all the headless skeletons anyway.”

Pb, Peyton Beck, is deceased. I can sleep a little easier knowing that. Especially since I had nothing to do with it. Though, that still leaves Nelly and that big guy Jules uncertain. What are the odds they’re still out there? I don't like that uncertainty, but maybe without Peyton messing with their heads they can actually be reasoned with. Whatever the case may be…

Warning: this is a very long post, and I'm sorry. If you wouldn't mind I do have a transmasc beard question here at the top I could use help with 😊

Question: How do you stimulate beard growth?

I know it just takes time and the proper dose of T, but also I've heard about using a comb/facial roller thing to...stimulate the follicles or whatver? Anybody have luck with stuff like that? Or any tips at all really? Maybe beard products for cis men to start the growth? I really want a beard 😫🥺

Ok! Update since it's been forever! I've been on T for two months now, and I'm so excited for all the upcoming changes!

The first thing I noticed was the anxiety going down SO MUCH! The confidence increase, the lack of anxiety, it was crazy! Suddenly walking alone in parking lots at night is not nerve-wracking 🤣 crazy right?!

Second thing: bottom growth. I might be on a low dose, so my bottom growth is slight but it's THERE and some days walking around feels REAL WEIRD cuz there's a THING down there that wasn't before and is super sensitive. But I'm so excited for it to keep going even though it was the one thing that was holding me back from going on T in the first place 🤣 I was like "ehhh yeah I don't really want that, I feel like I'd dislike it a lot," but now I pump several times a week to encourage growth 🤩 Should be every day but I'm lazy.

Hair stuff! I have always had some peach fuzz on my upper lip, more than what is considered "normal" so I've always shaved it to fit in (I'm asd and I masked HARD). Well I stopped shaving it, and it grew in nicely! About a week ago I noticed the growth is farther down closer to the corners of my mouth than it's ever been!!! I'm SO EXCITED!!!! 🤩😁🤩😁🤩😄🤩😁🤩😁🤩😄🤩😁🤩😄🤩

I'm very blond, so the "peach fuzz" mustache is basically white, BUT my brother's beard is red, and my mom's whole family is a bunch of redheads SO I could potentially have a red beard 🤩🤩 fun fact: my redhead uncles have super blond, basically white eyebrows! So maybeeeee the white mustache could be red once it gets longer!

I take after my dad in almost every aspect, so unfortunately I'll probably have a blond beard (if I grow one at all) but in that case I might dye it :3 I really like the red beard look. I'm also considering dying my hair red. It's all shaved on the sides, and long on top to braid, like a viking :D a red-haired viking is pretty neat imo. I have beard beads even, from back when I had dreads. (Don't start, i know white people shouldnt really have dreads, it's a weird issue. I made mine by locking a bunch of synthetic hair, locking my own hair, and attaching them properly with all the care and respect and everything but still. I felt weird as a white person with dreads so I stopped.)

Anyways beard beads are awesome and if I grow a beard I'm definitely putting some beard beads in 🤩

Transmasc enthusiasm!!!! We need more trans positivity out here, especially as the news gets darker and darker ☹️

Also fun fact: my dad is extremely anti-trans. Like straight-up thinks it's a mental disorder and that trans people should either get help or die. He doesn't know I'm trans, I just have to sit and listen to his rants when I'm home.

So I mean it when I say I need all the trans positivity I can get. Cuz thinking about if my parents ever found out still makes me cry. I love my parents so much and I have an amazing connection with them and I don't wanna lose that, but 100% would if I came out.

I fully plan on hiding even after my voice drops and I get top surgery. I'll train myself to speak higher around them, and I'll wear a stuffed bra when I'm home.

Anyways. Here's to you, the ones who can't come out, who might never fully come out, but still wanna live your life the way you were meant to: you are valid, and you are loved. I love you. Keep being your awesome self 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Fandom: Sk8 the Infinity

Pairing: T.adaAi

Words: 922

Summary: from @feverflushed's prompt. tl;dr Ain.osuke spikes a high fever at a political gala. Tadas.hi supports him (literally).

Add'l Notes: No way in hell was I about to research the intricacies of Japanese political intrigue just for a less-than-1k sickfic lmao. Take my bullshitting and enjoy it. This is from my "extreme writer's block curbstomp era"

Ainosuke had had it rough since his defeat. His smile had become wider than ever, his manner with his aunts even more doting. If he rarely said no to them before, he never said no to them now.

Even when he should.

Even when it meant representing the entire Shindo household at a gala with a fever of 39.4 and climbing.

It had come on suddenly only the night before, heralded by a foul temper throughout the day. Ainosuke had been warm in Tadashi’s mouth and the flush of pleasure never faded from his cheeks, though it grew more irritated as the night dragged on. His breathing shifted from heavy to labored and the teasing praise gave way to it, tapering off into nothing but desperate gasps.

“Sir,” Tadashi had said while cleaning up, cautiously extending his hand, “if I may.” Tadashi was not to touch Ainosuke without permission, but he was in no fit state to argue that night.

He’d been bad then, but he was worse now. Tadashi had chosen a dark-colored shirt for him to wear with his suit, but at this proximity, he could see the sweat darkening the back of the collar. Wisely, Ainosuke had chosen to wear a mask. It hid the worst of his fever flush, but Tadashi knew better. Livid pink peeked over the border of the mask like a sunrise.

They had both long since given up socializing, instead standing off to the side for others to approach if they wished. It was unusual, even disrespectful, but necessary. Ainosuke surely could not walk more than a few steps without collapsing; even now, standing still, he swayed from foot to foot with a well-veiled look of desperation in his eyes. Very well-veiled, for Ainosuke already had a reputation for over-eagerness. His wide, desperate eyes only fed the conception.

He and Tadashi bowed their goodbyes to the Diet Member who had cornered them and Ainosuke groaned quietly behind closed lips. He swallowed hard and stood up slowly and beads of sweat glittered at his temple. He couldn’t seem to find his balance.

“Sir,” Tadashi said quietly, “please lean on me.”

Ainosuke fell back against him at once and the burning heat of his body assaulted Tadashi in a wave. Ainosuke was seriously ill, worse than Tadashi had realized. How was he still on his feet?

The back of Ainosuke’s head hit the bridge of Tadashi’s nose and his stomach dropped. Ainosuke was dangerously close to not being on his feet.

“Sir,” Tadashi whispered through gritted teeth. His jaw creaked with all the tension he was holding, muscles flexed under Ainosuke’s fluctuating weight as he swayed.

“Good dog,” Ainosuke mumbled, lifting his head on his own. “I think it… Is it almost…?”

With an effort, Tadashi freed an arm from beneath Ainosuke and checked his watch. “Yes, it’s almost over.”

Ainosuke nodded without so much of a noise of disapproval that Tadashi had interrupted him. Tadashi’s heart fell. Forget damaging the family name, it would be a miracle if Ainosuke made it out of this without damaging himself.

Tadashi wiped his brow with his free hand. Mere proximity to Ainosuke and his fever had him sweating under his suit, not to mention the exertion of supporting a whole other person. While their difference in height was negligible, Ainosuke was much broader and more muscular than Tadashi. All that power had abandoned him now. He could barely hold his own head up.

Tadashi adjusted their position and cupped the back of Ainosuke’s head with his hand. It shouldnt have shocked him, but he still couldn’t believe the heat coming off his master. His hair was damp and slick with sweat and Tadashi had to take a fistful of it to keep his grip.

“Oh, puppy,” Ainosuke cooed, “what are you trying to do to me?”

Ignoring the pulse of altogether more pleasant heat that shot through him, Tadashi held fast. Their pose was looking less natural by the second as he afforded Ainosuke more and more support just to stay standing. “Sir, we need to leave. You need to go to the hospital.”

Ainosuke did not respond. His head dipped forward, a few true blue strands snapping in Tadashi's grip.

That was it.

“Forgive me, sir.” Tadashi adjusted his hold on Ainosuke and strode off for the back exit, all but dragging Ainosuke along with him.

Ainosuke stumbled at once, his whole body shaking against Tadashi’s, his head hanging. “Stop,” he said plaintively between gasps for air, and there was no hint of the teasing, domineering tone that Tadashi knew so well. “Please... Stop…”

“We’re almost there.”

“Tadashi…” Ainosuke went limp against the exterior of the car, blocking the door to the back.

Tadashi manhandled him into the passenger’s seat, murmuring all the while. “Watch your head, Ainosuke, brace yourself right here. I’m going to lift your feet now-- No, don’t move. Please—" his breath caught at the sight of Ainosuke, who was struggling feebly in the passenger’s seat with all his limbs spread out at awkward angles. He flinched with every touch, perhaps rebelling against Tadashi or perhaps trying to help. “Please don’t trouble yourself, sir.”

Ainosuke made no indication that he had heard, but he didn’t struggle when Tadashi loosened his tie and undid the buttons of his dress shirt.

He did shudder when the cool night air hit his belly and give a keening whine. Tadashi smoothed his hair back, running his thumb over Ainosuke’s fevered forehead. “It’s alright, Ainsouke. I’ve got you.”

got this great x2 Bullshit Combo problem where im so quiet nobody can hear me or understand me in the first place, and my brain does not handle auditory processing very well at all so i never can understand what anyone is saying to me either, and now everyone has masks on their faces including me so guess what’s suddenly become so, so much worse

#i drew my mask backwards last time but i guess it doesnt matter anyway #anxious apparition comics #i also dont express emotion well. u now cannot see my face at all #and i cant read people well and have a hard time judging tone. i also cannot see anyone else's face now #this is a very exciting social experiment i absolutely did not want to be a part of #( im not saying we shouldnt wear masks im saying I Wish We Didn't Need To )

:) so. No one ordered it, but, I have an Logan Angst(w/ hurt/comfort to balance it out a little) au idea to deliver!

So you know those AU fics w/ Virgil where he hides smth unusual abt himself( Like wings, Spider limbs, Being unusually tall, ect.) Bc he’s afraid of what the others will think/do if they find out?

Take that and apply it to Logan, But he’s actually been hiding it ever since (AU)!Thomas became Obsessed with Marine Biology as a kid!(i genuinely cant remember what Thomas's real life degree was gonna be b4 he switched to YouTube but for the au's sake im going with marine biologist)

What’s he hiding, you ask? Fish scales, of course!

(Continued under the cut)

Logan used to wear long sleeves all the time, and Sherlock bit with the scarf was a cover up for when he used to wear it constantly when they were younger, not that Virgil(who has spider traits in this but never thought to hide them b4 he was accepted, and by that point there was no reason to) nor any of the other dark sides with animal traits knew about it either, but his body, especially his legs and hips, were covered in shimmery sapphire blue scales, and in patches around the gills on his neck and ribs.

Why doesn't Logan wear long sleeves now? Because the scales suddenly stopped reappearing (coincidentally right around the time Thomas gave up on marine biology to do youtube) on his arms the few times they'd accidentally been pulled off some how, be it bumps/scrapes or eventually Logan getting fed up w/ the illogicalness of it all and 'removing' the rest on his arms so that he could finally wear short sleeves and not raise more questions about his health.

The scales around the gills on his neck are more tragic, as they do regrow still, to keep his gills safe. He plucks them as close to the gills as possible, before wearing masking makeup & a high collar with a tie to ensure his gills never peak out from his shirt.

It limits his normal comfortable way of breathing, but hes been doing it so long that he doesnt remember what it feels like, and thus isn't bothered by it anymore, as his gills dont open up fully anymore unless submerged under water for a long period of time.

Why is he so insistant about thomas drinking the healthy recommended amount of water? Because if Logan didn’t, he'd suffer migraines and get sick from being dehydrated in easily less than half the time it'd take for Thomas or any of the others to reach

Why doesnt he ever go swimming with the others? Because if he did, there's no gaurantee his body would let him leave the water after refusing to so much as even soak in a bathtub for years at this point

Hell, his body might even go into shock at that point.

No idea how his reveal would go, but the idea of the others spraying him with water spray bottles when he is over-dry and resultingly irritable has been brought up as an additional idea by @this-is-ske(my lovely frien who lets me info dumb abt all my aus so we can shout abt them together) and my only thought is that Logan is spiteful and petty enough to snatch a spray bottle and spray them right back.

He often needs to spray himself with water, even if he’d had a shower not two hours ago, because his scales dry out very quickly and its sensory hell in combination with even the softest of dress pants.

But the years of neglect slowly turned his shimmery sapphire blue scales into dulled greyblue, as a result from being dried out and flakey and unhealthy for so long.

He tries not to think about it too hard when he's forced to look at them.

Remus wouldn’t hesitate to toss post-reveal(and post-recovery)! Logan full out into a fucking pool, or just hop into one and drag him in with. "Dry Fishies are irritated fishies, be like me! Get wet and feel better!" *Cue Remus eye brow waggle that reflects to the rest of his tentacle arms*

No but srsly remus and janus finding iut and going "oh HELL no" bc janus knows what its like to not take care of your scales properly and Remus knows what its like to dry out.

Imagine the additional angst when Janus finds out not only about the scales but the gills on his ribs and neck too, and feels SUPREMELY guilty bc of the crook yank he did

"Its fine, its not like I could breath out of them anymore, they just bruised a bit longer" *even more concerned and upset Janus noises*

"What do you mean you cant breath out of them anymore!"

" ..One day they just wouldn't open? Sort of like the equivalent of a stuffed nose, except that they never reopened because they'd fully dried out, I think."

"I swear to god Logan I wish I could strangle you," *cue Janus wapping Logan w/ a rolled up paper, Edna Mode style, lecturing* "One day! You'll understand! Self care! Is good! For you!"

Cue them finally bullying Logan into taking care of them but no longer hiding the scales as the ones on his arms start coming back, but still greyblue, bc at this point Logan doesnt even want to deal with the immediate headache of them learning right off the bat that they Shouldnt Look Like That. He doesnt even really believe that they'll ever change back to their once brilliant blue, thinking it just a fluke with their age or something.

It takes months.

And then one day he wakes up, having been sleeping in the imagination with Remus, having indulged in underwater sleeping as a healing therapy, made better only by the fact that Remus is a rly good cuddler, and his tentacles keep them both locked together in the water, *and* one anchors them so they don't drift away in their sleep.

Remus is staring at him, his chest to be exact, where new patches of scales had been growing to meet in the middle around the gills on his ribs. He looks down and notices theres an uneven patch of brilliant blue peaking out from the sea of comparably grey scales. Then he notes that multiple patches of scales are slowly regaining their hue. It doesn't take long for the others to put two and two together about sick fish with dull scales. It confirms Logan had been sick for Years, and was only Just healing to a beginning state of equilibrium.

For some comfort w/ all this angst, when Logan does see his blue scales for the first time? He smiles, he smiles so wide at Remus. Remus probably falls in love with the way Logan's gills flare out prettily in time with Logan's smile. Logans finally convinced to take care of himself, and the first glimpse of progress has him Beaming for Days.

im sorry im on a childe with his children brainrot and I like to imagine that when the kids were toddlers they really liked stealing Childe's mask or whatever fatui things and then either trying to nibble on it or put any ungodly amount of whatever on it. One day Childe had to rush to work and he didnt realize his mask had like 23 stickers on it and a sloppy splatter of paint till one of his subordinates pointed it out. His wife merely grinned and told him that the kids worked hard to make it pretty so he shouldnt get rid of it or they'd cry.

This is so cute! Childe probably doesn’t notice it until one of the agents has the courage to point it out (or until one of the other Harbingers makes fun of him for it). He knows he should scold his kids, but it is somewhat amusing. He’ll make sure not to throw it out because his kids decorated it, but he’s definitely going to get another one for work purposes.

Childe probably wears the decorated mask when his kids want him to play the scary monster who terrorizes the pretty princess. His kids won’t let him be the knight or the prince because they’re the ones who get to save their mom! It feels a little unfair, but he supposes it’s fine because it makes them happy.

Me reading the post about the colored cards: what the fuck is this it's totally not a thing what insane school would do this

Me checking the notes and seeing two people are like "yea": .

its literally so fucked up like, i was a little nd kid who could not understand or keep up w a lot of the rules most of the time and instead of helping they just enforce them harder which honestly just does nothing lol. like i still dont get it and now im just distressed, but id get punished more for being distressed. eventually i was resolved to be Good (which meant a lot of masking so job well fucking done i guess) and i tried my hardest to Not flip a card at all for a whole year, it was like, my resolution for that year basically.

and that may sound like the card thing "worked" but i still didnt understand the rules at all i just understood the consequences which is just the wrong way to go about doing things, its not teaching kids anything at all its only keeping them in line for the adults' convivence, we were being taught obedience not life lessons that would actually help us growing up.

i remember i made it a fair amount of time w/o flipping my card until one day my teacher helped me clean out my folder and saw i had unfinished work, and she made me flip it because i was playing earlier even though i had unfinished work... but the only reason was because my folder was so messy i couldnt see the work in question! but the card rules were so absolute that circumstance didnt matter, and no matter how hard i tried to justify it shed just get more angry at my distress and she told me to just go cry in the bathroom for a while and then i should come back and flip my card twice (an extra time for being a crybaby i guess). as a kid i didnt understand but i figured she must be right because shes an adult, and im still not good. as an adult i think she was just on a weird powertrip w all this authority she held over 7 year olds and i genuinely think shes a bitch for that lol

on top of that its fucked up that the card flipping thing was so public, it was on a board just sitting there for the class to see with our names on it and everything, like, it just feels so intentional. a way to shame the kids through their peers to further force this sort of conformity between them. and this often caused bullying! i remember there were kids who hard their cards flipped all the way to red almost every day, they were always made fun of by the other kids for being like, Bad. and this would just make it worse, kids would lash out in frustration of their situation, teachers wouldnt help them and would just keep using the same card flip method thats obviously failed them, and is just further encouraging their behavior as well as that of their peers. like, for what? does this tactic just make these poor kids to be sacrificial lambs? "dont be like The Bad Kid or this could be you so stay in line and be Good"? assassination classroom was right bro they were right

it really just prioritizes the overall conformity of the class over any of the students growth in any healthy way, its too one-size-fits-all, but children grown differently and arent a monolith, and circumstances can be different too. you have to actually communicate with those kids, even if theyre very young and communication is hard for them. like, its your fucking job to help them, talk to them and see what the problem is instead of trying to correct it like theyre dogs wearing a shock collar. its just a pavlovian response, they understand "action causes card to flip>card flip causes punishment>dont do action" but they dont understand why they shouldnt do it at all unless you actually talk with them. theyre kids but theyre people too

Personally Im very on the fence of who's pointing that gun at Lupin in the end. Yeah, its a revolver and Jigen is shown right before it. But Jigen's gun this time around seems to be more the dark gray/black version of it. The revolver shown in that scene is a light gray, and mask eye guy and Albert also have a revolver thats light gray. Sadly, with the angle its hard to make out too much detail of the gun to fully identify. Could it still be Jigen? Yes, possibly he's master of more then one gun. Im just throwing these little details out there and saying maybe we shouldnt jump the gun just yet ^^ (hahaha)

Oooooh thank you for pointing this out. You're right, TMS can be very sneaky and suggest stuff in the trailer that aren't actually what happens in the episode. Let me check that scene again.

---

So, I watched that part of the trailer again. Here are a few screenshots:

Here we have a shot of Jigen aiming his gun at someone, and Lupin being aimed at by someone.

The guns are similar, although like you said it's hard to tell the exact model... But the lighting is clearly different. It's night in the pic of Jigen, and day in the pic of Lupin.

Okay, it could just be that Jigen is standing in the shadow and Lupin is not. But even then, both guns should have the same lighting, and they do not.

Furthermore...

In the background behind Jigen, you can see a tower with glass windows (like an office building or something). The same kind of building that's visible in THIS other scene:

And it's night time in both of these scenes.

Whereas in the picture with Lupin, the background/setting is clearly that weird abandoned warehouse/parking lot with floaty rags that we also saw in the teaser, and later in this trailer - there you can see it's clearly daytime.

This is a shot of the same place, from the teaser:

I couldn't see anyone else in that place, whether in the teaser or in the trailer. But it's very clearly not the same scene as the one where Jigen's aiming his gun at someone.

Conclusion: It's not Jigen aiming at Lupin in that scene. Or at least, if it is him, it has nothing to do with the previous shot of Jigen aiming at someone.

I don't think it's Eyes Guy, nothing really suggests that (the only time we see Eyes Guy, he's wearing gloves and he's in a place that has a brick archway). It could be Albert, if only because of the similar gun; but once again, no clear indication.

Thank you for pointing this out, I wouldn't have thought twice about it otherwise, but you're right! The trailer IS purposefully leading us astray!

what if, for whatever reason, Weiss was raised by Raven or otherwise joined her group prior to beacon.

Weiss whimpered in her binds as she was shoved to the ground in front of Raven. Three days ago, she was sitting in her bedroom, trying to practice with her glyphs to be like Winter when someone broke in through her window. She remembered a bit of gas, suddenly feeling dizzy, and then waking up on an unfamiliar airship. Now, she was face to face with someone wearing a mask that looked like a nevermore, scaring the ten year old.

Raven circled around the girl, using her foot to push her over as if she was a small animal. “And you brought me a Schnee, why?”

“For a ransom,” responded one of the bandits. “You know our tribe isnt doing all that well and resources are a bit thin. And this is the heir to the Schnee Dust Company. Her father will pay handsomely to get her back safe and sound.”

Raven paused for a moment, looking down at the girl. “And so you decided to take the initiative and take her?”

“Exactly! I knew you’d-”

Raven didnt wait for the bandit to finish his sentence, using her blade to cut through him. “This should serve as a lesson for all of you. Taking initiative before asking me is going to get us all killed. The Schnees wont care about one child going missing.” She looked down at the child again after putting her blade away. “You’ll make a fine addition to our tribe.”

Once her binds were cut, Weiss pulled away from her captors, huddling in a corner of the tent. As far as she was concerned, she shouldnt be here. She should be back at home with mother and father, celebrating her birthday.

Raven took her mask off and knelt down, looking to Weiss. “I will protect you. Seeing as your family wont come looking for you, I’ll raise you as if you’re my own.” She smirked a bit as she realized the irony of her own words. She had left her own kid and ran off when she realized she wasnt ready to raise a child. Although, she did check in on her family from time to time, seeing that they seemed happier without her. “I promise.”

Weiss hesitated for a moment before standing up, looking Raven over. “You will?”

Raven nodded, standing up and looking down at Weiss. “I will.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weiss quickly used a glyph to block one of Vernal’s strikes, giving her time to move around and press her sword to the girl’s back. “I win.”

Vernal rolled her eyes and turned to face Weiss, giving her a solid punch in the jaw. “That’s for cheating.”

Weiss fell over from the punch, rubbing her jaw. “You never said semblances couldnt be used.”

“I never said they could be either.” Vernal sighed and offered a hand to Weiss. “But you’re learning fast. I’m impressed.”

Weiss took Vernal’s hand and smiled at her. “Was that a compliment from you? Its a shame I didnt have my scroll to record that.”

“You know what, I take that back. I’m not impressed anymore.”

Weiss shook her head and made her way to the wash basin, checking her reflection in the water. It had been a long seven years since she had been brought here, and she had changed so much. Her once long hair was now cut short, braided, and shaved on her sides. The scar over her eye was tattooed with ice dust, giving it a blue shine in the light. She cupped her hands in the water and splashed her face to try to get rid of a bit of the blood from her cheek. “You know, you hit hard.”

“Comes with the practice.” Vernal turned to look at Weiss. “So, you’re leaving soon, arent you?”

“I am.” Weiss paused for a moment at the thought of going to a hunter’s academy. “Raven says its for the best. Just like her, I’ll go and learn how to fight this next generation of hunters so I can teach all of you when I get back. And she thinks it’ll help me with my-”

“I know, but still, things wont be the same without you. Who else am I supposed to beat in practice each day while you’re gone?”

Weiss chuckled a bit. “I’m only going to be gone for a year or two. I’m not actually going to graduate. Just… get enough information to learn weaknesses. Maybe gain an ally or two that I can use.”

“Arent you worried that your family will try to come find you?”

Weiss shook her head, pulling out her rapier and looking it over. “If they havent been looking for me now, I dont think they ever will. And if they do, I’ll be ready for them.”

linnnn I read your little story and agshdhdhd there's pros and cons for wearing masks, I feel safe with mask on, and if I have to take my mask off and eat with my friends my self conscious just shoot straight up yo the sky agshjddjf I'm afraid of ppl seeing my face TT that happened to me too hhhhhh there's one ex colleague from my dept (I admire him cause of his working attitude and performance) that look hard to approach with mask but after seeing his face without mask all I can see is cute chubby face but he's like not chubby overall his physique is quite moderate 😂😂😂 (no romantic feeling involved here) but seriously it's always a surprise or shock after taking down the masks I'm sure this feeling is vice versa hhhhhhhh

yeonnnn i merged your asks tgt to answer in one go, hope you dont mind ♡

i honestly love wearing masks hhhh mainly bc of the pandemic but also i feel more assured w the mask on bc of my acne? i know it isnt a good reason to this but there are and will be days where i'd feel more comfortable w having something that makes my self-confidence level drop covered and hidden from the surrounding judging eyes, and to be more comfortable in being myself w/o worrying abt what other ppl think. sometimes ppl wont say anything or judge but maybe its the low self-esteem thats rooted from it that has me overthinking. but dont worry abt me!! im learning to be at peace w myself by constantly reminding myself that its a blessing in disguise bc you get to see whos the real friend and whos not ♡ and heres to good skin days ahead!

ahahaha the amount of times ive went 'ooohh' in both ways after seeing the mask off is 😂 (i shouldnt be the one judging but sigh heres to future karmas lmao) but yeah having a mask on gives out that mysterious vibe heheh 😌 esp black masks!!!

i agree w respect going two ways between ppl, regardless if the age. i hold on to the saying of if you want someone to respect you, then you gotta respect others first. hmm i guess they were shocked bc usually ppl wld brush it off? or maybe it was bc of my choice of words HAHA but she realised her mistake and apologised in the end so all is good lah :))))) well those wielding their so-called authority and power bc of their age is not a new thing and is quite apparent in some places if we're unlucky enough to encounter them 💀 just watching them on social media is enough for the bp meter to hit skyrocket LOL

#yeon ❤️#youre so cute for what omg T_T #ty for listening to me ramble and getting all fired up for me huhu #i love masks bc their like another fashion staple/accessory hhh #but same esp if youre eating w someone youre not that familiar w yet the moment of taking of the mask is so nerve-racking T_T #100% w the mutual respect thing #being of ripe age doesnt give you the free pass to cruise through life however you want to LOL #i guess i was lucky in a way bc she didnt quite understand english? so i saved myself some earfuls then hhhh #my grandma always used to say 要学会做好的老人人家才会要照顾你呀 #and i hold it v dear to my heart <33

Rant/vent under the cut; talk about ableism and disabilities. Read at your own risk.

The word disabled has always felt a bit taboo for me to use, because it’s so often associated with physical disability. And honestly, I’m glad that there’s been an upswing in recognition for physical disabilities, even if many of them are still underdiagnosed and underaccommodated. I want to work towards a world where physical disabilities are accommodated without blinking. Where its just normal to have those accommodations there, and there isn’t an ever-growing list of skeezy people trying to circumvent even bare minimum ADA requirements.

I’d also like it if mental disorders were more recognized as disabilities, and accommodated without stigma, just as physical disabilities ought to be. I would like to be able to say I’m disabled and not get a rush of family members trying to reassure me that “no, honey, don’t worry, it’s all in your head, you’re not that messed up!” (which is ableist in several ways). I’d like to ask for accommodations and not have to fight tooth and nail because “can’t you technically deal with it? Shouldnt you just put up with the pain?” And no! I shouldn’t! But I’m not obviously disabled, so unless I act a certain way, people don’t see a thing. Being autistic is a fun quirk that lets me wear earplugs at the greeter stand. Having ADHD makes me funny in bio class.

tbh I’m mostly thinking about this because I was remeasuring myself for my actual bra size, and just thinking about going shopping for a new bra made my anxiety spike so high that I had to have Calm Down Time before I had a meltdown. And thinking about how hard it is just to keep up with school and work and clubs and medical appointments. i haven’t scheduled a meeting with my therapist in months, I waited three weeks too long to get my ADHD meds refilled by my doctor, and I need help to clean my room. And I’m lucky, because my symptoms are mild enough that I can technically mask them for a bit. I can walk into an interview and not have them figure out I’m autistic and ADHD until my first day at work. I can hold a job and do school at the same time, even if it takes up so much of my executive function that I only do laundry on holidays. I can take a shower once a week on average, I’ve picked at my hair so much that there’s a bald strip down my scalp, cleaning my room overwhelms me so much that I just want to collapse on my bed and sleep for a year, but I’m lucky because I can keep my grades up and therefore keep my scholarship money.

and I just- I keep struggling to accept that this might be as much as I can do. I see most of my classmates joining tons of clubs and applying for research labs, and I’m lucky if I make it to chemistry class. And I know my resume will be worse for it, but at this point, I genuinely think trying to add something else to my schedule would burn me out in a few weeks. I want to have a future in medicine, but if I’m scraping by as it is, I genuinely don’t know if I can survive med school.

I had a girl ask me last month, completely well-meaning, what “superpowers” my autism gave me, and I felt embarrassed that my only “genius” trait was my reading speed. I wanted to make something up. Something that would make me look good, something that says “hey look, I’m autistic, but it’s okay, I make up for it.” I wonder how she’d feel if I told her my ADHD didn’t make me suddenly good at problem solving. Or that my main reason for pursuing an autism evaluation is because my sensory issues keep interrupting my quality of life. That my actual goshdang disabilities usually make my academic performance worse, not better.

*sigh*. I need to email my advisor for the third time about class registration. I’m weeks behind; I’ll be lucky if class slots aren’t full already. And I need to go to the pharmacy after work tomorrow. I also need to finish designing the survey for our research project; it needs to be rolled out as soon as possible. My room’s an eternal mess, my laundry pile grows stronger every day, but Hey. I took a shower today. Small victories.

im so tired.
