Believe it or not, this was one of the few instances when Gemma wasn't trying to go out of her way to stir up the pot and seek out attention from Dakota. Between several different work-related emails, and texts and DMs from various different people – friends, siblings, former flames – she simply wasn't as present as she should be. Practically oblivious to her surroundings, Gemma only looked up when she heard Dakota's voice. "What'd you sa-" She cut herself off once his sentence finished processing in her mind, "Oh – everyone's blowing up my phone. It's been nonstop." Gemma almost had half a mind to roll her eyes, until she stopped to take a beat and thought to herself, is he jealous? Then a smirk crossed her lips, practically giddy with the idea of playing into this more and getting Dakota riled up. "It's mostly work and this new guy I've been seeing, but I can put that aside if it'll make you feel better?" The teasing was subtle, then she followed it by draping her arms around his shoulders and initiating an embrace. "If you missed me just say that."

"Earth to Gemma, hello? Who're you texting over there?" Dakota asked, doing his best to keep his jealousy at bay. Feeling incredibly possessive over a woman he hadn't officially claimed as his girlfriend was on brand for him. As much as he teased her for being a hot mess, Gemma had been a pretty consistent person he could depend on, always there when he needed her. Didn't ask for more than he could give, didn't expect his world to revolve around her, had her own independent life that continued whether or not he was involved with it. She seemed content to keep things where they are. So why was he so afraid of losing her? "Not that I need your full attention or anything, it's just – I haven't seen you in a month."

How to date Niragi guide for dummies - 15 easy steps to tame your local neighborhood sexy sniper masochist! (meme post)

(A/N: Please note that this post is meant only for satire and ironic parody comedic purposes, so take it as is. No hate intended towards anyone. <3)

[insert catchy commercial jingle here 🔊]

Are you perhaps one of those very sad, depressed and unlucky Niragi stans who, for some odd reason, can't seem to make this man bathe an eye at you or even spit in your direction, no matter how hard you try? If yes, then you've come to the right place that can help solve all your life's problems!

Hello and welcome to the one and only "How to Date Niragi" guide for idiots dummies, your number #1 starter pack essential for those who want to catch their own Niragi, but are still unsure about how to do it! Our researchers say that if you follow this guide, your chances at getting laid and secure a (somewhat) healthy relationship with the sexy beast of the Borderlands, the one and only Niragi Suguru, will increase by 75%, since the method has proven very effective with a 100% success rate in 3 out of 4 cases!

So now that we've got that out of the way, before we get to the "bread and butter" of our 'scientific' paper, let's start with what you'll need to have in your resources pack, in order for you to make sure that your success rate will grow to 100%:

unresolved childhood traumas (preferably a very traumatic experience with bullying) - Nothing says 'true love' better than two people who'd been through the same amount of shit and can understand each other better than anyone, so the more you'll have in common with Niragi, the higher your chances at making him yours! since you'll know what the f*ck not to ever bring up in your conversations and have the best knowledge for showing him the moral support he so desperately needs, but refuses to admit he wants! So yeah, the more unresolved traumas you have, the better, especially if they revolve around bullying and parental neglect! Also, if these traumas left you slightly unhinged, props to you!👍

a very morbid and unhealthy curiosity - Being curious to scoop about everything and anything about your obsession crush will come in handy when pursuing Niragi, because the more things you'll know or want to know about him, the more Niragi will know how important his person is in your life, which will flatter his narcissistic and possessive ego.

lack of self-awareness and a low as f*ck self-esteem- Niragi looooves his girls all vulnerable and obedient, so the more you are willing to accept and take from him in your relationship, the better! He's a very controlling man, so you also should be prepared to give up on your independence and prsonal life! And don't forget that romancing Niragi also implies pledging complete devotion and loyalty to Niragi and Niragi only to the point you'd give up your life for him!

God tier level flattery skills - As mentioned before, Niragi is a very egocentric and narcissistic man, so if you want to get his attention, you better start working on those complimenting skills, sistah! If you already are a writer or poet, then you are on the right path! Shower this man in compliments, treat him as a God, impress him with the way you word yourself! It also helps if you have your way with words when it comes to manipulating persuading your Niragi into loving you.

a good intelligence - Niragi is a very smart man, just as much as he's handsome, so it's gonna come in handy if you are a clever little cookie too! Show him that he can find a good ally in you, someone he can trust and lean on as a partner too, not only to use you as his personal sex toy. It might seem a bit contradictory to the point about having a lack of self-awareness, since smart people would normally stay away from a clearly toxic and abusive relationship like the one you are about to enter, but being a helpless case of lovestruck idiot doesn't mean you can't also be a book smart one!

obsessive and manic tendencies - While Niragi is a possessive and controlling man himself, he'll find it attractive if you are the very jealous and possessive type yourself. He likes his 'kittens clawed', if you know what I mean. Don't ever dare accuse him of jealousy/cheating, but if he'll see you going on killing sprees to take down the b*tches threatening to steal your man, it'll get him hard.

good cooking skills - A man's heart goes always through his stomach, so bonus points if you know how to cook.

good manipulation skills - We'll talk about these later, but trust me, the more deceiving you are, the better!

You done taking notes on what you have and what you're still to acquire in order to complete your perfect resources pack? Perfect! Let's move on now to what you came here for in the first place: the important things to remember and follow if you want the taming process to go as planned!

1. DON'T seem too impatient! - One of the biggest turn offs for a Niragi is when he's being approached by a d*ck starved groupie that makes it obvious she/he/they want(s) him to f*ck her/his/their brains out! So be subtle, approach your Niragi the same way a cat stalks its prey: observe from afar, make your way slowly towards your target and then... Strike! Try making it seem as if you approaching him was a mere coincidence, a simple curiosity of the moment due to the fact that his interesting and alluring presence and vibe of mystery caught your eye. You are the mastermind in this game of 'cat and mouse', so keep your gosh darn composure and lay your pieces carefully!

If you already have deep feelings for him, don't let it show, try to make it seem as if this is the first time you've ever met him and you've just felt like striking a conversation with a random stranger to ease your night out. You can also point out the fact that you've heard various rumors about him, to spike his curiosity, and then note that you don't really believe them and would like to find out for yourself if they're true. This will also give you the daring air of a challenge in Niragi's eyes since he's used to people fearing him, so a little innocent 'lamb' like yourself being unafraid of the 'big bad wolf' will sure seem amusing and worth exploring. And always, but always, have that gentle sweet air of innocence! Let him think he has the upper hand in this game and that he is the one manipulating you forward.

Tips of ways in which to start a conversation with your Niragi: if you are a newcomer to the Beach, ask him to be the one to introduce you to the place, bring up the fact that you've heard how important of a member of The Beach he is and that you admire his imposing and confident demeanor and that's why you want HIM specifically to be your guide; another method would be inviting him for a drink to start up a conversation, since incentives work most of the time; partner up with him for the night's game and show him how valuable you are in order to spike his interest in you so maybe he'll come seek you afterwards OR play the dumb little kitten route and rely on him to feed his ego that he's the best and strongest out there; lastly, if you approach him in the real world, try again to be subtle, go for a mundane subject, that might interest him even if just a little, ask him if a rumor about him is true to make him want to talk to you to clear it up and find out where it started from (this kind of leaves a mark in his memory to help him remember who the f*ck you are the next time you come seek him) or apply again the first strategy of inviting him out for something (but you might need to have done some previous small talk on random crap that kept him somewhat interested to make him want to continue conversing with you, in a more enjoyable way).

2. Talk about yourself as much as you ask him to share about himself - Since now you secured Niragi's attention enough so that he's willing to exchange a word or two with you, it's time to slowly show interest in him and that he's captivating enough to you to actually want to know him, but don't make it look as if you're literally interrogating him, share stuff about yourself too in relation to the conversation topic. This will help form a feeling of mutual trust between you two and won't make him question your true motives for coming to him. As always keep it subtle, make him want to continue talking to you, show a little bit of vulnerability (but not too much either), and if you feel bold/confident enough, you can also throw in a lil bit of flirting too (but again, DON'T throw yourself at him).

3. Build up that sexual tension baby! - Niragi LOVES a good sexual tension moment! Plus, we want him to be future boyfriend material, so it's important that you don't let him have his way with you from the very first 'date'. Make some flirty comments here and there after a while, because we all know Niragi is the type who's gonna show interest in 'that' too. Make him start to want you, crave you, but show him that you won't be that easy of a prey. One of the reasons he has a r*pe kink after all is because he loves when his victim prey tries to oppose him, showing resistance to some capacity, making the hunt more interesting and more worth engaging. So apply a similar principle here too (we don't want you to get in the position of an assault tho! so take it slow and easy), spike his interest by showing him that you might want to bed him, but at the same time play hard to get, be that 'forbidden fruit' he's going to crave getting a taste of, keep him in suspense and build up the sexual tension little by little with each and every interaction. Stir him up just enough so that he'll continue wanting to hunt you down, but not to the point in which he'll want to cut the chase short and get what he wants then and there!

4. DON'T EVER mention therapy - We've already established that Niragi is a prideful man, so he won't ever admit he needs to see a therapist, so take your mind off of even trying to attempt to 'fix' him. Repeat after me babes: PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR PERSONAL DIY PROJECTS TO FIX! You choose someone to puruse romantically because you love them the way they are and for who they are, not because you are a dumb b*tch who believes all these crappy webtoon tropes.

So throw to the bin that bs cliche trope of 'I CaN FiX hIm!". You knew what you were signing up for the moment you decided to pursue this chase. If you truly love and want this man for yourself and yourself only for the rest of your life, you have to accept the fact that you ain't gonna change him and chances he's going to willingly want to change on his own are extremly low to 0 (this ain't fu*king Mr. Darcy babe) and especially NOT for you (unless maybe, just maybe, he actually falls down bad for you, in which case the most you'll get will be him trying to be just a little less violent and a tad bit more romantic towards you, but don't expect much). Niragi will appreciate if he'll see that you accept his decisions and who he wants to be, so show that you are there for him and support him no matter what the heck might happen (you are after all his loyal devotee, remember?). So yeah, one thing you should never tell Niragi (besides the obvious "NO" and "STOP") is to go to therapy. And DON'T even f*cking try therapying him yourself if you value your life! Triggering his past traumas ain't never a good idea.

5. The 'Friendzone' strategy - Ah, this is a personal favorite of mine to be honest, cause it goes well hand in hand with 2 and 3 and will help you secure that good starting point from 1. Thing is that most often than not, a Niragi might grow tired and even bored of the swarm of people wanting to romance him. So give him something different, be the 'exception' from the rule, that 'special' one that doesn't want to f*ck him (as stated at 1, be subtle and don't seem d*ck starved), be that odd one out who spikes his interest by simply wanting to be... FRIENDS!

We all love the enemies to lovers trope, but in real life, the one that works best for romancing someone is the friends to lovers approach, and so will it work in our quest too. Love is built on things two people have in common, things they share with each other, the nice things the two partners build together and the quality time they spend together. So, by becoming his friend first, you assure 3 of these stuff: you build memories with him through the crap you two do together, you share stuff and hopefully spend quality time together. Add to that the things he has (or thinks he has) in common with you, and BAM, he'll slowly start falling for you.

6. Devote yourself to him heart, body and soul - After a while, if things go smoothly between you two and he starts to show signs of possession over you and sexual/romantic interest (tho let's be real, in 99% of cases he's only going to show sexual interest in someone cause 'who the f*ck is love? We don't know her in this household!'), you can go on and finally confess your feelings to Niragi and maybe even start upping up your flirting game by showing him that you want him physically too. Start showering him with your undying love and adoration, make him feel full of himself seeing how helpless you are for him, what a lost cause you are in terms of being blinded with love, how much you freaking adore him and that you'd do ANYTHING for him (yeah, in 1 case out of 4 he might ask you to kill someone for him... But we don't really talk about that...). After having played very hard to get in the beginning, now you can finally loosen up and switch gears, becoming a needy mess for him, so that you'll manipulate convince him into to think that he has absolute control over you. In some cases, if you played your cards right, your love confession might yield you the very satisfying reward of Niragi confessing to you too in return.

Show him that you are loyal and devoted to him and that'll make him to also show a similar level of loyalty and devotion to you, as your trustworthy lover and partner in crime.

7. Be the Yang to his Yin, that innocent little sweet lamb that the bad wolf will devour - As mentioned in previous points, it's important to use that deceiving sweet innocent persona that emanates purity and innocence, this will stir him up a bit inside to want to have you, to corrupt you. Niragi is a man who loves to own things, so the more he can own of you, the better! Plus, being all innocent and vulnerable might trigger that primal instinct in him of wanting to protect you, especially now that he owns you.

If you already are a genuinely sweet person and even better, still a virgin too, you don't have to do anything special here, just be yourself and enjoy the effects you have on Niragi whenever you give him one of those adorable sweet looks or say something (especially his name) in that cute voice of yours... Trust me, it's worth it playing sweet and innocent for this one! Sure, a slutty dirty approach my work too, but remember, our strategy has proven effective in 3/4 cases! And doing the "little lamb" approach while also adding in the next point on the list... Oh boy, you'll see what we mean! ;)

7.5 Rile him up with some sexy dirty talk or 'naughty' behavior - Going really well together with our previous point is this one: adding some spice to the 'cat and mouse' chase by doing little lewd things and saying sexy stuff that go in contrast with your innocent vibe. This will make Niragi want you even more and is fun to see him salivating for you and you alone. This is more like a bonus 'tip' for your own enjoyment, as it's pretty much the same idea of building up the sexual tension as stated at 3, but it's still worth taking into consideration to amp up the fun.

Oh, and here's a bonus bonus tip: ask him about his wet dreams about you and also tell him about yours. You'll like the results. 😉 (It's better to do this after you've gone past the first stages of your relationship for max results).

8. Show your love and affection to him by cooking stuff for him or by doing small sweet things for him - Good, by now let's say you two are in that almost perfect scenario in which you confessed, he owns you, the sexual tension is thick enough to be cut with a knife and he seems fixated on you. It's time to assert your role as his significant other and partner by showing him how much you love him through caring actions such as making him something good to eat, giving him a massage, crafting something for him, you know, stuff like that. So far, cooking seems to hold a special place in our case, since it moves the Niragi, care being something new to him as so far no one had ever shown him that kind of affection. Plus, eating together is an act of platonic intimacy that strengthens a couple's bond. Also, pet names! If you feel confident enough, start sprinkling in that additional bit of 'umph' by starting to call him various cutesy pet names, or pet names that assert ownerships and devotion such as "my beloved", "my dear", "dearest", "my love". Again, make him feel loved and adored by you and show him how helplessly in love you are with him!

9. Allow him to see your most vulnerable states and build the trust - This helps with triggering his primal desire to keep you safe, as well as forming a stronger bond of trust between you two. Due to his past traumas, a Niragi will be reluctant to trust others, so if you allow him to see you in your must vulnerable of states, that implies a very high level of trust you've invested him with (we recommend you do this only in a latter stage of your relationship, since it might be risky to invest him with too much trust from the very start). Tell him that you feel safe with him, allow him to see your tears (unless he'll get angry because of that), if you don't do well with alcohol, allow him to see you drunk and to take care of your hangover, etc.

10. Be into his kinks - Well, this is self explanatory: he won't want you that much if you don't really allow him to do much in terms of fun. Sure, playing into he CNC kink will entertain him, but only doing that forever will make him get bored. Show him your kinky side, tell him in little detail about the things you want to do to him so that he'll get riled up just by imagining what your fantasies imply. Just be over all fun, experimental and involved. Again, you signed up for this willingly knowing fully well what he's into, so once started, there's no going back. If you'll keep turning down all of his kinks, that surely won't land you a stable ship. Also, bonus points if you have a breeding kink too, cause he's definitely into that and it'll turn him on even more if you tell him you want his babies.

11. Be possessive, but not very possessive - Being possessive sometimes can seem sexy to Niragi, so it's not that bad of an idea to mark your territory once in a while (he might even find it hot and fun if you leave marks on him and express out loud to others that he's yours alone). Tho, be careful, don't go overboard because remember, control is HIS thing and we want to keep him thinking that he's the one pulling the strings in your relationship.

12. Be invested in your relationship - There's nothing more turn offish for a Niragi than to see how little to no involvement you show in your relationship with him. So once committed to him, then girl, you have to be committed! Don't ignore him too long, but also don't annoy him; come up with fun new things for you two to do together; keep showering him with love and reminding him of how much you love him, etc. And don't use him for sex only!

12.5. Niragi is NOT your personal walking-talking sex toy! - Yes, man is hot. Yes, we all want to f*ck him. Yes, the sexy times are the best part of a Niragi ship, but don't make this the only subject matter of your interactions (unless you are going for the horndog Niragi species, then that might work, but you'll have to be gosh darn creative to keep things always fresh and fun even when going for the same activity again and again). It's also somewhat degrading for Niragi to feel used as an object by you. Sure, he might want to use you as his toy, but he loathes when someone else does that to him. So make him feel important and loved as a human too, not only for his d*ck.

13. Die for him - This might be extreme, but if you are going for a tragic kind of story, sacrificing yourself for Niragi is the ultimate symbol of your love and devotion to him. If you did everything well so far and got Niragi to love you to some extent, such an extreme measure will secure for sure your position as his biggest, truest and only love, since he won't ever replace you and will probably end up living his life mourning you in his own weird ways or seeking to get revenge for your death from those responsible of it.

Well, there you have it! The complete guide for dating Niragi! We wish you all the best and good luck in your quest of taming a Niragi and pursuing your very own ship with him! 👍

(Disclaimers!) Please note that we do not take responsibility or can be held accountable in case any of these steps goes wrong and results in the injury of your own well being, since you voluntarily accepted to pursue a Niragi at your own risk, knowing very well about each and every implication.

Have fun and remember: First step to be able to do any of this is to TRY TO ACTUALLY TALK TO a Niragi! :D

How would you feel about a book where there are several characters, many of whom are beloved by the audience, but the only Greek character has the as main characteristics being an abuser and being generally hated by the fandom? The exotic Greek whose function is to bring suffering to the protagonist, who will be consoled by an exemplary non-Greek? Because that is exactly what you're doing. It's truly an honor that you decided that the character who is hated by everyone is the one chosen to be blessed with being allowed to be Black while in Ancient Greece. Calypso being a goddess and being beautiful or some shit like that doesn't change how interesting it really is how the hated one is the only one acceptable to be Black. You'll probably argue about her location, which doesn't change shit because this isn't about the logic of her being Black. It's about the choice of her, the most hated, being the only Black person in the myth of the Odyssey in your interpretation. Odysseus being abused by the exotic and possessive Black woman and then being comforted by his loved and understanding white wife…is definitely a choice, especially since at least there are other varied white characters in the context while the only Black example is this one. At this point, it was better to simply keep Calypso white as well, it's not like it would be wrong since the ancient Greeks didn't imagine her as Black the way they did with characters like Memnon. Calypso wasn't portrayed as Black in antiquity, so this is purely a modern choice.

Anyway, I loooove reading fics and seeing fanarts about a Black woman being hateful!!!

I think you are being confused here, Anon. For starters who told you that Greeks were portrayed positively in media? Arguably there was from time to time a greek character in series or movies and they were portrayed as loud, rude, evil, greedy and violent. They didn't even do them the decency to show them as "exotic".

If they were "exotic" and smooth villains I would be ecstatic. In fact one of my favorite chacters in cartoon history is David Xanathos in Disney Gargoyles, a villain-antagonist, American of greek descend who is a manipulative bastard who plays others like the feedle. That version of his as a villain was amazing! And it was one of the few times that a greek villain was not portrayed as cartoonishly evil or rude or loud.

To give you an example at a personal favorite TV series of mine "Agatha Christie's Poirot" starring David Suchet, we have at least 3 greek token characters and all three are depicted negatively. In the episode "Hickory Dickory Docks" the main antagonist is the hostel owner Christina Nicoletis who is an alcoholic unpleasant woman who is also greedy and scared and involved in illegal diamond trades. The same unpleasant is her accomplish who is also, surprise surprse Greek. Even Miss Lemon, a character known for being reasonable and open-minded says "Oh that explains it" when her relative says that Nicoletis is Greek. Like yeah of course she is unpleasant! She is Greek!

In the episode "The Dump Witness" one of the main antagonists is a doctor named Jacob Tanios. For most part of the movie there is nothing pleasant about it. He is a bitter loner, rude, insensitive, acting violent and there was even a hint that he beats his children (which was never disputed in the movie). Despite the fact that he was proven not to be the murderer in the movie, he was still never potrayed as pleasant.

In the episode "Orient Express" the doctor who is also one of the murderers and arguably the most stupid fellow in the episode was Greek.

In the classic 1980s series Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in the episode "The Greek Interpreter" even if I was ecstatic to see a greek guy playing the actual greek in the series, the sister of the victim was a cold, calculating woman who sold her own brother to the guy she wanted to marry (she claims that she didn't know he was being tortured, making her dump too).

The satyric movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is a pure satire on greeks living abroad, depicting them as loud or rude or snobbish for the sakes of the jokes. There is even a movie, which I forget, where a greek woman is seen trying to bury puppies and she is depicted almost like a witch at that point, yelling at the kid for taking the puppies. The mother of the kid even told him "do not interfere with the local customs" as if killing puppies is like something all Greeks do.

Arguably Greeks were always talked down by many parts of media books or series. There are very few examples in which Greeks when associated with others were depicted positively and even in the parts that depict them in mythological contexts they either are not portrayed according to their stories or overly exaggerated to the American ideals that had nothing to do with the actual culture. Allow me then to know exactly how it feels like.

No my dear Anon that is what you THINK I am doing.

I believe you are confusing what you wanna read with what I am writing. I am not creating my stories or characters to fill a quota or to create "representation" or anything. I am trying to portray the characters as accurately as possible to their areas of descent, their ethnicities and their stories. At the same time I look at other media portrayals and compare the possibilities and their areas of descent. I create Calypso for the sole reason I mention to my notes;

I loved her interpretation by Vanessa Williams, the area she lives in sometimes is interpreted as North Africa (most frequently Tynisia) or Malta. Looking at the geography and the area she was living I just think it fits to create the interpretation the way I did.

If I wanted to create a "token evil black" character as you now complaint I would do someone like Polyphemus. Quite frankly I could write Polyphemus as such and ancient greeks also interpreted the other antagonistic characters as the several non-greek tribes and nations they fought against during their colonies picturing them as mythical creatures who antaginize their heroes. I do not because it doesn't fit georaphically nor the interpretation fits.

Yes it is a modern interpretation to make Calypso dark-skinned (which I am actually surprised of course that all the time there is only one portion of people being constantly talked like that with it) but again it is an interpretation based on where Ogygia is. It is also a modern interpretation to make Andromeda ethnically Ethiopian compared to other figures and people are ecstatic about it and understandably so that is from that perspective

If Calypso is your most hated character then it is up to you. I am not sure if you read my stories but I do try to portray her as realistically as possible. Again if I wanted to create a token evil character I could write her like a Karen who wants nothing else but sex and abuses Odysseus. In the story she clearly has more to say than that which is what I create. She truly loves him, takes care of him and quite frankly culturally speaking she might as well asume that she is not doing something bad. Affairs men had were generally tolerated in antiquity so, culturally speaking, Odysseus sleeping with her forcefully and be ashamed of it was an exception not the rule given how many greek mythology characters had affairs. Even Menelaus produces some children with some slave women, which are mentioned in mythology. Odysseus's utter refusal seems to be one of the exceptions (thus later sources interpreting their affair as "willing")

I am not creating characters to fill a quota or to please any part of "representation". I am creating characters based on their stories and their potential ethnicities. Likewise the Lotus Eaters are also nations of Libiya or Tynisia according to interpretations. It is just that I never wrote something about them yet.

Arguably, my dear Anon, is better for you not to look at it all through the lenses of color. Just because one antagonist is dark skinned doesn't mean i see them as antagonist because they have dark skin. She just happens to be an antagonist that fits the interpretation of having dark skin that can be backed by the data and location.

I have said none of what you wrire. If you want to interpret my stories as such is up to you. I have said none of that though. Again if I wanted to create a token evil character I would have. If you want to interpret my stories through the lenses of color is up to you.

I do not create the stories to pass the message of "white vs black". You can imagine Calypso blonde with blue eyes for all I care. It is the same. Her skintone was brought up in my stories solely for interpretation purposes. Change it and you still have the story.

So I am sorry, Anon, my stories are not for the reasons you wanna read. If such thing makes you feel this way honestly I am sorry but that is not the purpose of my writing at all.

Calypso is not that much different than other goddesses like Aphrodite for instance who keeps Adonis in a box so no one will steal him from her or Eos who wants her man to remain immortal even if he was growing old by every day, or Selene who made her beloved sleep for all eternity solely so that she wouldn't say goodbye. Gods and goddesses often act selfishly in mythology because of their power and long life.

If this offends you I am sorry but my purpose is not to create token characters is to interpret the myths according to the locations they take place, the character's bloodline and their descent.

I have also loved the modern interpretation of Andromeda being depicted as ethnically Ethiopian as opposed to her classical appearance but that doesn't matter to you guys. I suspect at this point "damned if you do damned if you don't". Anyways like I said I interpret the characters. I do not randomly race-swap any character from any side. I interpret their descent or locations and see what interpretation fits and what doesn't

Quite frankly my stories with Calypso are my favorites because I think Calypso has a very complicated psyche that we need to analyze and think about. It is exactly because she is hated by a large number of people that makes me want to explore her similarly to how I am fascinated by figures like Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. What makes them tick? What drives their motivations? That is my main purpose with them.

Now we’re just vibing until the library “opens” at 9:00. I glanced at the google at that is about the time they open up! Sent Ian to birdwatch and Derek to write a little.

Annnd this is why I sent Ian to the birds. High singing ability means we can sing with them! Beautiful! Anyway, it’s time to pop over to the library in Britechester. It’s where Derek wants to go and Ian needs to meet someone in another location for his aspiration. Also I suddenly remembered I could have Ian introduce people to Derek. Because he would if there were traits in common. (It’d be the only way he’d make friends) Anyway, Ian’s going home while Derek’s going to work on his novel. ...or the computer could break down. That too. Anyway now I’m just going to stare at the person hogging the one computer remaining.

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare. I’ll give it until 4PM until I go home ..IT BROKE DOWN AS WELL. BASTARD GAME! To home with us!

Paying bills and...3 thousand. YEESH. These men need pensions or something! The grip of mortgage payments looms over us all. -sees fox rushing towards the coop- NO! Go away! I’ve got a chick to hatch! Hopefully. Right. Ian needs to make 12 friends. Ho boy. Let’s get to work. Ohp! Wait! I was going to finish writing the book before Derek went to bed. Let’s go do that. Ian made a friend with Aubrey Shelley, a near randomized Sim I made up in an alt file and moved into Henford. Annnd his want isn’t clearing. We know what we have to do for that then. Anyway, the Creature Keeper, who is now a random sim named Barret Case (again, the starting Sim died) is out and about so befriending time! Right, after some chatter, and talking up Derek to a fellow animal lover, we head back home. Ian’s sleepy, after all! Meanwhile we finish off writing that book and send it off for Derek. Some passive income, yaaay!

Neighborhood Watch!

Brindleton Bay: The Raghavan household moved out.

Right, it’s been long enough another patch has happened. So now I have a new test file Sim to add to the world. Patricia Moss, an evil botanist. Well gardener for now but botanist is the goal. And she’s going into...Sulani. Not her first choice but we’re running low on starter lots.

Back to Moody and McMillan! Ian’s up and it’ s Love Day. Day of loooove.

Oh, Discovery Quests are a new thing. Basically tutorial for how the Sims works. I’m experienced enough to not care but I might as well do them on this file just to get the basic rewards. Anyway, Ian wants to practice a comedy routine since he’s a goofball, so let’s compose one first ...oh I evidently didn’t need to compose a routine to practice one. Welp. Ah well. Anyway, Derek’s finally awake, so let’s walk on over to the National Park for a date! ...yes I am having the two walk over there in-game as well. Gotta enjoy the scenery somehow.

Oh hey! I can have both Sims go and be playful for this date since Ian is already playful ...annnnd he’s hysterical now. God. If he dies during this date! Well we got gold for the date at least. Just some nice romantic chatting. I’m going to the restroom with Derek, (in a bush even) don’t die! No death towards eating food. Hmm, let’s have a snowball fight. That might-

And there we go.

Please Grim! It’s Love Day! Have a heart? No? Nope. Alas. I guess we’re just trudging home with a new fear of death in our hearts and much sadness. Eight days of mourning to be had. (Man mourning is overbuffed in Meaningful Stories) So we’re just going to be sad and listen to the tunes Derek likes. Or even perhaps...write! Channel that grief! Needs quest specifically calls for a nap so might as well. Let’s get back to writing then. But then!

Neighborhood Watch!

Carson Allen in the Allen household is now a Captian in the Detective career.

Book is finished and now we send it off! And get our proper sleep.

[findroleplay]

Hey! I am a 22 year old who is looking for someone 18+ to do some long-term roleplaying with. I'm really interested in plotting things out and would love to talk outside of the rp. I use mainly discord for any kind of correspondence, just a lot easier for me! I would say that I am pretty literate when it comes to replies! I can do anywhere between 3-5 paragraphs for a reply and my starters always seem to be really long. I enjoy bringing a lot of detail into the replies including the character's inner thoughts.

Plot-wise I loooove creating different aus and not following the canon all the time. I think there are a lot of different things that can be done with aus and I am open for all sorts of ideas.

I'm pretty much open for anything usually. I don't have a lot of triggers that I can think of even! I tend to get into some darker content at times for the angst of it all. And I also really like detailed smut. It definitely is not the main point of my rps but I like to throw it in there to spicy things up. I basically only do oc x character. With you playing the character against my oc however, I do double up so I will do the same exact for you! Some of the fandoms that I love and the characters I want to play against include:

Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse - Miguel O'Hara (This is my preferred one rn. I have an obsession.)

My Hero Academia - Eijirou Kirishima, Denki Kaminari

Demon Slayer - Tengen Uzui, Kyojuro Rengoku

Tokyo Revengers - Draken

Fairy Tail - Natsu Dragneel, Loke

Haikyuu - Terushima, Atsumu, Suna There's more that I can't even think of right now. But I am more than willing to do fandomless ocxoc pairings as well if we discuss it beforehand! And for any of these fandoms, I can write for anyone! I am pretty adaptive!

everyone has something,  but i have nothing—   the taciturn woman seemed to be enveloped in serenity  /  solitude,  the kind that made her seem hopelessly distant despite being right in front of you.  menu held in her hand,  she'd been scanning over its contents for quite a while now,  an indecision that was not apparent  ——  perhaps she appeared more like a doll made for advertising purposes for the diner rather than an actual person simply pondering what to have for their meal. 

and perhaps that was why none had made an attempt to break her silence,  merely content to gaze at the quiet girl from somewhere away.

whether hakuno kishinami was aware of that or not,  it made no indication of any sort on her stoic features.  her stare is deadpan as she looked onto the stranger  —  the two's disposition seemed like it couldn't be any more different  —  yet those caramel hues were not at all cold.

❛   yes,  i am good.   ❜      a response that was almost mechanic,  but hakuno blinked suddenly at the comment by the other—  letting out an exhale,  this was her muted way of expressing a sort of ...  amusement.  there was a unique kind of energy from this girl,  a good thing,  she got the feeling that she was the sort that would be able to light up a room.  a zipping motion across rosy lips is made as her playful retort,  the taciturn woman couldn't help but ask:      ❛   is it that bad ?   the mullet.  i have yet to see it for myself.   ❜      cants her head slighty.      ❛   ... but maybe that would be for the better.   ❜

with that lukewarm joke delivered,  her gaze turns back to the menu in search of the omelet rice the other had spoke of.�� stopping at the image of the dish,  she nods.      ❛   yes,  thank you.  i will trust in your judgement.   ❜      words that seem much too heavy for a conversation as light as a lunch,  but this was just the way hakuno kishinami always was.  the usual for her;  unable to reciprocate the kind of warmth the other seemed to naturally have,  there was a thought in the back of her mind of how she hoped she was not coming off the wrong way ... !

[gildedcagc]

slowly working on drafts but i would loooove some replies to any of my open starters pls <3

[afoxysunny]

I drew more Jawbreaker Cows :3 i loooove them sooo much and got absolutely honoured by @bovineblogger requesting a Jawbreaker cow for itself.

The right one made the cut and it wanted the cow in pastel rainbow so tadaaa that one is it's. Nobody else touch that one.

The urple one got its colours chosen by @kingofracoons and they unintentionally made it look berry coded.

Lastly my twin picked the colours for the top one based on their fav starter pokemon treeko; and I'm amazed how good Jawbreakers look in more natural colours.

Not much more to say. I love them all but that's nothing new xD was fun to get to draw less conventionally shapes cows this time tho

It didn't start with radish foxes, the first offhandedly mentioned animal I was obsessed with was only mentioned as a distraction

And boy did it distract me.

I heard the words "jawbreaker oxen" and immediately started foaming at the mouth with the urge to bring it to life.

The solid green and red ones are the wild ancestors.

I sketched out a lot more horn and ear and other cow attribute combinations but only coloured the ones specifically for my friends here

I ended up making so much lore for them and even a whole farmers couple and story for those and it's taking all of my might to not ramble endlessly here.

(I even have a few drawings of different injuries on jawbreaker cows which i will include in a reblog so you don't have to see scarred animal sketches if you don't want to)

If someone will even hint at wanting to hear more i will write an essay, this is a threat! (<- essay has been written, it's in the notes)

No sweet tooth rn? Try -

❀ loves the combination of chocolate and orange

❀ just loves citrus in general

❀ favorite color is purple, second favorite blue, third yellow

❀ knows an insane amount about plants and will sometimes randomly spew out a random fact

❀ the two of you are walking down the street, chatting about topics not at all related to nature, and all of a sudden, he's like, "did you know-" {proceeds to tell you the most insanely obscure plant fact ever about a flower you've never even heard of}

❀ loves animals

❀ and he's always so proud of himself for knowing it too

❀ random plant facts are also his go-to conversation starters

❀ is extremely clumsy and constantly knocks things over, trips over his own feet, etc. but all of a sudden, all the clumsiness leaves his body when dancing or fencing ?? he has beef with coordination idk

❀ his favorite flower is the one that reminds him the most of you

❀ he knows the meaning and symbolism of every flower, so he always has a reason or message with each on he gives you

❀ he also looooves poetry

❀ not afraid to pour his heart out to you poetically

❀ but only once you've been close a while, in the beginning he's a hot, awkward mess, tripping over his words left and right

❀ he does much better writing out his feelings at the start

❀ hides poetic notes in your flower bouquets, or leaves pressed flowers in your letters

❀ extremely dramatic

❀ the type of dramatic to claim he's on the brink of death after getting a single paper cut

❀ in fact, he's so dramatic that when little things happen to you, he overreacts for you. what a gentleman

❀ definitely a hopeless romantic 

❀ extremely good with kids

❀ slightly afraid of the dark

❀ his favorites are deer and horses, but he also just loves birds

❀ was a late bloomer when it came to walking, but started talking super early as a baby (it just makes sense okay)

❀ sometimes dances around in his room, alone, pretending he's dancing with you

❀ also practices romantic things to say to you in the mirror

❀ has super fancy-dancy penmanship and makes it look effortless

❀ really likes art, specifically romanticism style paintings

❀ plays the piano beautifully 

❀ also understands latin and is fluent in french because he's fancy

❀ very easily entertained

❀ also has a very short attention span for most things and gets distracted easily

❀ main love language is words of affirmation, followed closely by gift giving and acts of service

❀ loves his hair being played with

❀ owns a journal where he logs each day

❀ absolutely loves jam

❀ avid lover of jasmine tea and green tea

❀ also puts a ridiculous amount of honey in it

❀ oddly afraid of frogs and toads

thats all i can think of for now, hope you enjoyed that. 

side not, posted this on 11/11 at 11:11 my time bc im so cool like that. you're welcome.

[fall1ngfeather]

OHHHH, I LOVE these. This is exactly what I was asking about, haha. I’ve seen some other “must have” lists in the past, but I think you hit on a lot of aesthetic categories here that the others don’t focus on. Like, a lot of them will say “must have x starters with y themes, one plain bird, one plain mammal, 2 legendaries,” so on and so forth but I love how this one covers all the moods that pokemon usually have. I loooove this, thank you! :3

Howdy! I've noticed you're very good at coming up with "biome in a bottle" challenges- like your project where you came up with 7(i think?) species to create a complete tiny biome, (I can't find it on your website, sorry ;n;) or your 30 day halloween haunted house challenge. All of this to say- have you ever created a list for what roles/niches different monsters would need to fill in a pokemon fan region or monster collecting game? Hope that makes sense, haha. Seems like you'd be good at it. :3

I do have a mental list of "aesthetic" design niches at least, and obviously all these can be crossed over and some of my examples already also fulfill some of the others for their generation, but I think when designing any mons roster you should try to check off as many of the following as you can:

Sleek and literally sharp (skarmory)

Could have been a kaiju costume (haxorus)

Slimy (goomy)

Dopey (slowbro)

"Ugly and gross" by most (foolish and wrong) standards (weezing)

Tough but in a friendly looking way (machamp)

Tough in a just scary way (garchomp)

Eerie and unsettling (yamask)

Pretty and cute/silly (most of the butterflies)

Pretty but badass and cool (milotic)

Polar opposite of its evolved form (magikarp)

Stays "pitiful" but has an interesting gimmick (pyukumuku)

Object that mysteriously came to life and somehow a whole species (voltorb)

Something wearing something else as armor (crustle)

Entire species wielding a signature weapon (marowak)

Cute but secretly nasty (tinkaton)

Camouflaged killer/anglerfish style hunter (galarian stunfisk)

Serene and chill (snorlax)

Surreal and unexplainable (sigilyph)

Does not seem happy to exist (psyduck)

Secret mystery face (tangela)

And things NOT in the majority of Pokemon generations, but should be:

Something parasitic since that is the most common lifestyle on our whole planet (parasect and nihilego are some of the only explicit Pokemon examples. Sad!)

Something associated with natural compost and decay because that's a mandatory ecological niche as well (I don't know, shuckle?)

An explicit carrion eater for the same reason (mandibuzz is one of the few)

A MICROBE! Have it evolve larger or form of a big colony! Any way to incorporate microorganisms! Pokemon has actually not explicitly done this at all unless you count Solosis being a giant cell!

Tragic unnatural man-made creation (mewtwo, type: null)
