[haz3-daz3]

I'm curious now, what characters would you say you're more familiar/comfortable writing for from Fate?

hmmm...

Arthur/Artoria (yes, all of them. Well maybe except the Artorias from Servant Verse because im not as familiar with them as the other Saberfaces)

2. B E D I V E R E (man's suffered enough :(()

3. Henry Jekyll And Hyde (to be fair, he has very little appearances so I kind of had to make a headcanon personality for the man since i've never read Silver Fragments. I hate the fact that his status in FGO is...like how you treat the dust you sweep under the rugs. I have him at level 115 last I checked. Yes, that's how much I love him)

4. Gawain (gorilla man go BRRRR)

5. STELLAAAAAAA (kind of, i've never written anything for him but man Arash is great ☆⌒ヽ('､^)chu)

6. Robin Hood (I played Extra, liked his snarky ass, I think he's great! He was unfortunately matched with the wrong master who didn't really like his subterfuge and cheaty tactics. idk, i think if he was paired with Hakuno or maybe Rin or another master who isn't so honor-bound, he might have a chance to win but fineee, we'll take Emiya ughhhh. no hate to emiya he's also great I just like Robin Hood more.)

7. Billy The Kid (because yeehaw man is yeehaw fun and also because he needs love)

8. D I C K W I Z A R D (both male and female. Wait, a minute, did Proto Merlin gave Arthur a pu—)

9. Serenity i guess? idk i've never wrote anything for her either but I think i can do the "wholesome girl loves you but doesn't want to touch you because skin contact with her might kill you" bit competently

10. M A T A H A R I (i used to love her back when i started playing fgo in my suuuuper old, now deleted account. If Kojiro was the Savior of France, Mata Hari was the Flower of Drago-Murders. Was it impractical? Yes. Did i care? NO.)

They're mostly my favorites but they're not ranked, if they are, Jekyll and Hyde would be at number 1. I just numbered them in the sequence they appeared in my head UwU

I can write most other characters fine like with Astolfo even if they're not my faves, though if someone requested me to write Iskandar or Ozymandias, i think i would have difficulty since they're the characters I don't think about as much. It really just depends ehe

The Modern Mindutme Alphabet

The Modern Mindutme alphabet is one descendant of the Old Mindutme Alphabet, discussed in my previous post. It has 31 letters, adding six to the original set. A number of letters have changed their sounds due to the development of the Mindutme language, so there are now several letters with multiple possible sounds, as well as a few sounds with multiple spellings.

Several of the original vowel letters have differing sounds based on stress. The first sound shown below is for unstressed syllables, and the second is for stressed ones.

ix → yaqh [jɐꭓ] “spoon” — /i, jɐ/ ([ɨ] when unstressed and following a retroflex consonant) ul → wal [wɐɫ] “bowl” — /u, wɐ/ et → it [it] “foot” — /e, i/ ([ɛ] when adjacent to a uvular consonant, [ɨ] when stressed and following a retroflex consonant) ohis → oys [ɔjs] “pine tree” — /o, u/ ([ɔ] when adjacent to a uvular consonant)

ɛhɔr → ewr [ɛwɾ] “hook” — /ɛ/ (only occurs in stressed syllables) ɔne → one [ˈɔ.ne] “spear” — /ɔ/ (only occurs in stressed syllables) ɑl → al [ɐɫ] “food” — /ə, ɐ/

There are now six more vowel letters, each deriving from a ligature of two of the above.

it-al — /eə/ oys-al — /oə/ ewr-wal — /ɛw/

one-yaqh — /ɔj/ al-yaqh — /ɐj/. In the dialect of Voṣeaṣi, the capital city, this has become /ɛ/ or /e/, depending on stress. al-wal — /ɑw/. In the same dialect, this is /ɔ/ or /o/.

The consonants are in general less changed, though several have allophonic variation.

wɔɔɡ → wug [wuɡ] “songbird” — /w/ juket → waqhet [ˈwɐ.ꭓɛt] “arrow” — /j/ lɑk → laq [lɐq] “door” — /l, ɫ/

rɛldɛn → reldn [ˈrɛl.dn̩] “hawk” — /r, ɾ/ mɛi → mi [mi] “water” — /m/ noɡɛ → nugh [nuɣ] “bow” — /n, ɳ, ŋ, ɴ/

veud → vewd [vɛwd] “ox” — /v/ zɑje → zaye [ˈzɐ.je] “feather” — /z, ʐ/ fiɛl → fyel [fjɛl] “deciduous tree” — /f/

sɛu → sew [sɛw] “arm” — /s, ʂ/ xet → khit [xit] “onion” — /x, ꭓ/ hus → hwas [hwɐs] “flower” — /h/

bjer → byir [bjiɾ] “knot” — /b/ dɛllɛ → del [dɛl] “path” — /d, ɖ͡ʐ/ ɡuul → qwal [qʷɐl] “hand” — /ɡ, ɣ, q/

poɡɔm → pughm [ˈpu.ɣm̩] “cart” — /p/ tjɔf → tṣof [ʈ͡ʂɔf] “cat” — /t, ʈ͡ʂ/ kiɛt → kyet [kjɛt] “leg” — /k, q/

(The situation with retroflex consonants is not actually allophonic, but it’s a bit much to get into in this post.)

Though Old Mindutme had several writing directions, Modern Mindutme has settled on left-to-right. A brief note I forgot to mention in the last post: in Old Mindutme, several letters had multiple versions depending on writing direction. In general, et “foot” would point to the left in right-to-left text, and to the right in left-to-right text; likewise with wɔɔg, juket, rɛldɛn, nogɛ, veud, and kiɛt. When Modern Mindutme settled on left-to-right writing, most of these letters settled with the corresponding orientation. The only exceptions are waqhet and kyet, which happened to end up pointing to the left.

As discussed in this post, there are two styles of writing Mindutme. One is a disconnected “print” style, which simply takes the above letters and puts them together in sequence. The other, the kakhmikrn or calligraphic style, joins the letters together so that every word is a single connected unit, often distorting the letter forms somewhat to do this. A letter may be to the right of, below, or even within or around the previous letter, ideally fitting in with the general shape of the word as gracefully as possible. Whenever possible, strokes are combined to enhance the flow of the entire word.

Here are the modern equivalents to the sentences from the last post, in both styles. First, fya kren “I wrote”:

And fya hwas am u ṣan, “I gave a fish a flower”:

Some words can naturally combine more elegantly than others. This blog’s icon might be mistaken for a single glyph of a more complex writing system, but it’s actually the interrogative particle zvu:

And the header is the word Mindutme itself:

DATING SEVENTEEN A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Kwon Soonyoung

A ⇴ AFFECTION 

Soonyoung is always incredibly soft with any affection that he gives you, he loves to have his arms around you, whether it’s your waist, neck, or shoulders, he’ll take whatever he can get when it comes to being close to you.

B ⇴ BEFORE DATING 

You were instantly drawn the charming smile he had when the two of you first went to the same coffee store. He caught your eye in the queue, and you could only manage a smile back at him before the waitress called you forwards and took your order, aware that Soonyoung’s eyes were firmly watching you.

C ⇴ CONFESSION 

The two of you coincidentally kept bumping into each other at the store most mornings, almost as if it was fate. You never said a word to each other until one time you went to give your order only to be told it was already sorted. Soonyoung had learnt your order off by heart and paid for your coffee when he saw you walking into the store on the promise that you’d let him take you out for dinner whenever you had the time.

D ⇴ DATES 

You’re both fond of adventuring on your dates and exploring plenty of new places. Soonyoung will drive you around for hours to find hotspots for dates and quiet places. Sometimes just driving around is enough for the two of you, especially at night. You’ll stop by a drive-thru and order yourselves from food, turn the speakers up high in the car and just go in whichever direction you decide, making the most of the peace and quiet from it all and also the time that you get to spend with each other and just be able to talk.

E ⇴ EXPERIENCE 

Soonyoung had zero dating experience before he met you, and so he relied on those around him to give him a lot of tips when it first came to impressing you. You could tell that he was nervous when your relationship first began, he often mumbled apologies out of fear that he was doing something wrong or had perhaps missed a trick. It took a lot of reassurance from you to allow him to settle and trust that what he was doing was alright, but as he learned more about dating, he definitely began to settle in your relationship more too.

F ⇴ FIGHTING 

If there’s ever something that has upset you or angered you, Soonyoung is always very understanding and willing to help to make a change. He’s not someone who gets upset if you find yourself wanting to argue, he’s the first to admit that he’s not perfect, and if he can do something to make your life easier, then he’ll definitely do it. Similarly, with you, if something frustrates him about you, he’ll understand that the two of you are different people and at sometimes differences can appear, it’s just about working through it and moving forwards. It takes a lot to argue with him, or at least try and create a disagreement between you both.

G ⇴ GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY 

Finding the time in Soonyoung’s busy schedule is hard to be able to meet his family, but whenever he has the chance, he’ll take you to visit his family. They’ve heard enough about you from Soonyoung to know that they’ll love you but meeting you in person far exceeds all of their expectations for the person that you are.

H ⇴ HOME 

He often spends more time at the studio then his home anyway, so Soonyoung won’t be too fussed wherever he settles. If it’s easier for him to head back to the dorm at night, then he will, or if yours is better, he’ll arrive there. Soonyoung is in no rush to find a place together, which you’re understanding of when he’s so busy.

I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU” 

When he came home from tour and reunited with you, Soonyoung couldn’t help but tell you that he loved you. He never imagined that he’d struggle as much as he did with not being able to see you, but as he thought about it, the emotions that he felt of not being able to be around you added up to one answer, that he loved you.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY 

Soonyoung is someone who is full of confidence, so he’ll pit himself against any other guy quite happily and know that you’d pick him, therefore he doesn’t tend to get jealous too often. He also appreciates that you have other people in your life who aren’t him, and so if you want to spend your time with someone else, then he’ll understand that and won’t allow himself to get jealous. Although he can’t hide the fact that he’ll be relieved when you get home to him, and answer all of his questions about how your day was.

K ⇴ KIDS 

The two of you talked about your future from time to time, finding it important to see if you were on the same trajectories. Soonyoung loved to tell you all about how he hoped to be able to teach his children dancing in the future, having kids was a huge deal to him, but having children that would hopefully follow in his footsteps was a thought that made him very happy, and very excited for a future with you too.

L ⇴ LAUGHTER 

There is never a bad day whenever you’re in Soonyoung’s company, he’s one of the main members who can help to create a light and happy atmosphere. He also hates whenever you’ve had a bad day and come home sad, he always works hard to pick up anyone when they’re feeling down, but especially you. He’ll work tirelessly to try and make you smile again, no matter how long it takes or how down you’re feeling. He cares a lot about making sure that you live a happy life with him, and will put all his efforts into making you laugh, cracking joke after joke and forever making cheeky remarks that will make you grin.

M ⇴ MISSING 

The true sign that the other members need to know that Soonyoung is missing you is when his own mood drops, and he becomes quiet. He’s always the one to pick the others up, so they’ll be the first ones there to pick him up whenever he needs it too. He’ll force a smile onto his face whenever he calls you, because he knows that you miss him. and he doesn’t want to make things worse for you. Not having him around to brighten the mood will be hard on all of the boys, they rely on him too, so they’ll try desperately to pick him up, not just for his own sake, but for keeping the moral of the rest of the group high as well.

N ⇴ NICKNAMES

You often end up calling Soonyoung, ‘energiser,’ because he just never stops. If he’s not dancing or singing, he’s talking or running around the place looking after you, he never seems to take a moment to breathe.  

O ⇴ OBSESSION 

He’s obsessed with your smile and making sure that you’re happy. Just the thought of you being down is heart breaking for him, so he’ll do whatever he can to make you smile.

P ⇴ PDA 

Soonyoung is confident in your relationship, so he definitely doesn’t mind about being affectionate with you in public. Whilst he doesn’t do anything to draw attention to the two of you, the way he holds you in public sends a clear message to those watching you both that he’s in love with you and a very happy guy too.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS 

Whenever he comes up with a new routine or sequence, Soonyoung will often ask you about it and see what you think. Your opinion means a lot to him, and so any steps that get approval from you instantly go towards the group too.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS 

His phone album is full of random photos of you that he’s taken over the years. Quite a few of them are unflattering and taken from the worst angles, but those ones are also Soonyoung’s favourites because even though you’re at your worst, he still loves the way you look. Every single photo goes a long way to helping him when he’s on tour and picking his mood up whenever he’s missing you, bringing a smile back to his face.

S ⇴ SEX 

Soonyoung has a lot of energy when it comes to getting intimate with you, he never tires, and never complains either. He’s always very physical around you, he loves to keep you nice and close and guide you into positions that he loves to get you in. There’s never too much distance between the two of you, and if you start to tire, then Soonyoung will encourage you to relax and let him do all the work to make you feel good.

T ⇴ TEXTS 

If he’s not able to see you throughout the day, then he’ll often send you videos of the things that he’s getting up to so you can still feel as if you’re there with him and take note of the places he’s visits for your future date nights too.

U ⇴ UNIVERSE 

Your support is by far the thing that means the most to Soonyoung, knowing that he has someone who is permanently backing him and pushing him to achieve his dreams is the boost he needs to make sure that he keeps going.

V ⇴ VACATION 

Going on holiday is a treat for you both regardless of where you are in the world. The two of you will often decide on a place, and if you can’t, you’ll take a globe and drop a pin in it, wherever it lands, the two of you go. As long as you’re adventuring then you’re both happy no matter where you are in the world.

W ⇴ WHINING 

Soonyoung tends to lean towards liking your attention, and whilst he can deal without it for a while, if you leave it too long, he’ll let you know about it.

X ⇴ XXXXX 

Kisses from Soonyoung are always soft and sweet, whenever he has you in his hold it becomes an instinct for him to press a kiss against your cheek or against the side of your head. For him, your kisses are another form of support, almost as if you’re sealing your approval that he’s doing well and reminding him that you’re right there with him. They’re incredibly comforting and reassuring for him to know that you’re there.

Y ⇴ YOU 

You’re his number one fan, always his cheerleader on the side-lines supporting him.

Z ⇴ ZZZ 

He loves to be close to you at night, it’s comforting for him to be able to feel the quiet sounds of your breath and the feeling of you wriggling beside him as you try to get comfortable, settling eventually in his arms.

✶ 𝐇𝐗𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒: 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 & 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒, 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 & 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍   Long story short, I have been thinking about this for wayyyyy too long now and wanted to get some ~thoughts~ & analysis written down! This post is going to be...fairly long, lol. Apologies in advance :D

  Also, if you can’t see the last gif (the one for ‘holy’), click here. Tumblr keeps fucking up the image when i try to upload it :////

  This post is probably going to be about 2/3 yorknew & phantom troupe/kurapika focused, 1/3 chimera ants, maybe with some references to other arcs (including manga-only arcs) mixed in. so, ofc, tons of spoilers ahead! also, i realize that my blog theme is hard to read (and i’m p sure clicking ‘keep reading’ sends you to the og post itself), so i’m linking the post w/ full text copy/pasted in on my art backup side blog (which has a more legible font) here. 

✶ 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇   I’m sure absolutely nobody is surprised with me starting here - there is just. SO. MUCH. DEATH. in hxh. & right from the start, one thing I noticed that togashi really emphasized was the #4 and its connection to death. in japanese, chinese, and im p sure some other asian cultures the number 4 is pronounced like the word for death so it’s associated with death in general, and boy oh boy does the ‘deadly number 4′ thing show up E V E R Y W H E R E. we get to the hunter exam, and hisoka is applicant #44. kurapika is #404. i didn’t notice it at first, but this was so intentional holy shit. togashi is NOT SUBTLE.

  So pika & hisoka are, right off the bat, associated with death. okay. and then there are even more clues to drive the point home: hisoka is member #4 in the phantom troupe, kurapika’s birthday is april 4th (aka 4/4). 100% not a coincidence (!!). with hisoka, it’s pretty obvious why togashi’s throwing all this death 444444 stuff around - dude is a psycho murder pedo clown, literally gets off on killing people (and there’s also the fact that judas sits 4th from the left in the last supper painting, and he’s sort of the judas equivalent for the phantom troupe). with kurapika, though, it’s a bit more subtle and woven deeper into his characterization, which i LOVE. togashi puts the mans in blue & gold & white (traditionally ‘pure’ or ‘heavenly’ colors), makes him so fucking kind & so good-hearted.....when he’s not relentlessly pursuing his revenge, ofc. more on this in the next section, but pika = death. togashi has made that v v v clear.

  Backtracking a bit to hisoka, though, I also just wanted to point out the 4 is death symbolism in the fortunes too (GOD i love the fortunes): in one translation, he’s the false fourth moon, and in the og japanese (i think), he’s the false hare (4th in the lunar zodiac or w/e it’s called. i don’t know the japanese cultural influences here, but in the chinese legend that established the zodiac animals, they race across the heavenly river & the top 12 animals got zodiac slots. the hare finished 4th, so it’s #4 in the cycle). 

  And just as a final note, Tserriednich is the fourth prince of the kakin empire, and also another dude who has a hard-on for murder & other gory shit. again: togashi is not subtle with this, lmfao

✶ 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐘, 𝐔𝐍𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐘   As probably everyone who’s gotten to yorknew knows, togashi is so 0 fucks given when he wants to be. I mean there’s the whole thing where he just. took New York and decided, Yorknew. LMFAO, but also, he made the main antag of that arc be named chrollo lucilfer, sit around in a ruined church, have a reversed cross coat, pale & dark-haired/dark-eyed, generally dressed in dark colors, very terrible murder guy. liiiike......chrollo x devil symbolism game is 1000/10 at this point lmaooo

  And i know absolutely nothing about christianity in general, but pt/kurapika & yorknew arc is just so full of christian imagery/symbolism! one thing that i L O O O O O O V E though is how togashi really blurs the traditional christian-coded good/evil, holy/damned boundaries.

  Back to kurapika: he wears gold and blue, his coloring is very stereotypically ‘angelic’, he’s precious and good and kind. his chains are all about ~judgment~ and ~healing~ - some of the chains are also in literal cross shapes, aren’t they? And the chain dagger in his own heart...the imagery is very startlingly similar to the immaculate heart of mary, where the swords stabbing thru the heart apparently represent seven sorrows. IDK much about this stuff other than the visual similarities; literally had to google ‘daggers through heart christianity?’ to even get the name of that thing LOL. anyway, at first, it seems like togashi establishes him as the ‘angel’, the ‘good’, the ‘holy’ in the angel/devil, good/evil, holy/damned dichotomy between him and chrollo.

  But that’s not the end of the story. his entire storyline is driven by a huuuuuuuge giant desire for vengeance, first of all, and then there’s the scarlet eyes, which canonically are seen as demonic/cursed/what have you (according to one of the movies or smth? where they show pika as a 10 y/o?), and then we also have red eyes in modern culture being associated w pretty much the same thing (vampires, anyone?). the fight scene with uvo has everything in b&w besides the blood on his face & his red eyes & the moon (<<< more fortune foreshadowing & symbolism, i love to see it), and there are tonssss of scenes where he has to suppress his rage. so all of that is obviously not very angelic of him i would say LOL. in fact, what i find super interesting is that the scarlet/red eyes (which are ‘demonic’) is actually the driving factor behind his super powerful nen abilities; this ties in so well with the fortunes & death associations imo! the fortunes call him the ‘death-bringer’ in one translation, or ‘half-angel, half-death’, so that’s one side of pika = red eyes = death, but there’s also the fact that emperor time is literally draining his life force. so pika = death for both himself and others namely the pt, question mark?

  Now for chrollo: togashi’s devil symbolism is EXTREMELY overt with him, but i love the subtler jesus references too. the church thing, obviously, and the st. peters cross which is cuz st peter respected jesus too much & didn’t think he was worthy to die in the same way as him (or something like that, i am the most atheist person in the world & hxh is literally my entire christian education pls) but is also used as an anti-christianity symbol these days. bandit’s secret looks like a bible, lbr, and mans has a cross tattoo.

  Other things beyond visuals - 12 spiders, 12 apostles; hisoka’s betrayal, where member #4 can be thought to correspond to judas sitting 4th from left at last supper. and this miiiiight be a bit of a stretch, but i think the meteor city being the place of origin may also play into the blurred line between angel/devil and holy/damned here; meteors are defined as space rocks that are in earth’s atmosphere, becoming incandescent in the process. meteorites are for the kinds that actually reach the ground. and idk, lucifer was cast out of heaven / sky too right? so i think there might be some subtle fallen angel imagery/symbolism playing into the pt as well

✶ 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 (𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒)   Last section yay! i don’t have as much to say about this, besides when i was making chimera ant arc edits & realized that there might have been some subtle gon/meruem parallels???

  So obviously, everyone knows that line killua says to gon - “you are light” - and then i was just remembering that meruem’s name means.... “light that illuminates all” (!!!!). maybe it’s a coincidence, but knowing togashi, i’m leaning towards nahhhh. there HAS TO be some kinda meaning there (!!).

  Going back to the events of the chimera ant arc....ooh boy. let’s see: gon is optimistic & hopeful even in the face of kite potentially being dead, killua says he’s light, they find kite & dude is fucked up, gon is pissed. gets all angry & ~dark~, especially during the palace invasion when he’s staring pitou down as she fixes up komugi. then the actual fight against pitou: more darkness, more anger, but through it all there’s still light, namely his jajanken being very orange & fiery lookin.....and that final sequence, where he puts all his possible nen he’d ever have into his ~final form~ or wahtever & turns into a male version of true form!bisky but dressed in a crop top & short-shorts (i am SCARRED, btw. s c a r r e d !). there’s just huuuge flashes of light as that’s going on, and it reminded me of supernovas or dying stars when i was thinking about it, where the star is like, collapsing under its own weight? & burning thru its own fuel, until there’s nothing left except a dwarf or black hole or what have you. one final, extremely deadly burst of light & energy before death.

  On the meruem side of things: born into a dark cave, exhibits a traditionally evil/cruel/wicked/whatever personality/traits so that has ppl associating him with darkness. then he gets to know komugi, starts to appreciate other aspects of humanity, seems like he could have actually turned into a decent person who doesn’t want to eat everyone - so that’s a ‘path to light’, maybe? - and then the extermination team yeets themselves into the palace, netero takes him out to bumfuck nowhere, they fight. netero’s fighting is just ALL light, from his giant ass golden 100-type guanyin bodhisattva to the poor man’s rose. again, there’s the sense of finality to it all, in a similar vein to dying stars: netero comes in determined to kill meruem no matter what, and we all know netero doesn’t flake. then we see netero get destroyed after the zero hand, and he triggers the rose, and everything is burning & on fire before the flames are put out and all turns dark again.

  But wait!!! pouf & youpi revive meruem and all he does is play gungi with komugi, even with the poison of the rose. he eventually dies, and the gungi pieces in that final shot of them together (i am BAWLING just thinking about it holy shit) has one that’s all white, one that’s a black ring and white inside. i assume all white is for komugi, who has never done ANYTHING wrong in her LIFE, so i like to think that the 2nd one is for meruem - born “into darkness”, literally & figuratively, but he turns something like ‘good’ by the end. it’s interesting how togashi has sort of gone for a bit of a subversion here: the hero going from light to darkness, and the main antag from darkness to light.

✶ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍   AahhhhHHHHHhhh so if you read all the way down here through my LONG rambles, tysm! i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear what other people think about all this, and i’ve FOR SURE missed tons and tons of stuff - chimera ants is just. SO MUCH. and i don’t know it as well as yorknew eeek.

  I’m not sure if i’m really ~knowledgeable~ in any other areas relating to hxh, so this might be the only one of these that i do, but i definitely think about some of this - esp all the religious symbolism & #4 stuff - a ton! so in the meantime, if it’s of any interest, i’m just going to shamelessly plug my hxh x religious beliefs/superstitions edit series :D lots of love to all!!!

Dear Lara Jean,

HI. so i watched TATBILB: A&F a few weeks ago, and I have some words. Before I begin, i'd like to preface that i'm literally 17 and have no film experience, and that I've read this book once maybe 4 years ago but here it is.

ps. if you haven't gotten it already: there will be spoilers. Heavy spoilers.

first of all, i'm sorry but i really didn't like the little edit things. Maybe I've reached that point in my life where I don't f with that anymore. Like when theres a drawn house and it slowly fades so it's real life?? no thanks

the music choice... I honestly didn't have that big of a problem with it, but my korean friend kept going "wtf is this music choice" so i'm quoting her on that.

the filming and editing. well maybe it's just me but I didn't really like it. yk when you're watching a youtuber and they do those zoom in things and it's sort of fast and funny? I think there were a few times the movie did that and i didn't like it.

literally, lara jean looking directly into the camera?? it feels like it's breaking the 4th wall and maybe they're doing it to be edgy but no thanks i didn't like that either.

WHY???? Her breaking the 4th wall added NOTHING to the movie. It just took me out of the experience. I especially didn’t like it when they did it in PS I still love you when they temporarily broke up.

THEY SET THE MOVIE IN OREGON. WHAT WAS THE REASON. THE BOOK WAS SET IN VA, AND I LIVE IN VA SO I FELT A CONNECTION TO THE BOOK. AND THEN THEY GO AND SET IT IN OREGON. WHAT. WAS. THE. REASON

OREGON DIDN’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE COLLEGES. THEY’RE STILL PRETTY FAR AWAY FROM STANFORD. IN THE BOOK, UVA WAS CLOSE BY SO LJ WOULDN’T HAVE TO BE TOO FAR AWAY FROM HOME. NO OFFENSE TO THE STATE BUT WHY OREGON. THEY COULD OF PUT THEM IN CALI AT LEAST

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY LJ WANTED TO GO TO UVA IS BECAUSE HER FAMILY WOULD BE CLOSE BY. BY PUTTING THEM IN OREGON, YOU TAKE AWAY THAT REASON. i just want to 👊 whoever’s idea this was

FURTHERMORE: THEY CHANGED UVA AND UNC TO STANFORD AND NYU. I AM INFURIATED. THE WHOLE POINT WAS THAT THEY WANTED TO GO TO UVA BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE 10 MINS FROM WHERE THEY LIVED AND IT'S A STATE SCHOOL. LARA JEAN FELT LIKE THE WAS GAURANTEED TO GO TO UVA AND WHEN SHE DOESNT, IT ACTUALLY HURTS THE READERS.

in the book, LJ was waitlisted from UNC, rejected from UVA, and accepted to W&M. I’m sure you can find like 40 people at our school who can relate to this situation. I doubt 40 people in our school can relate to being rejected from Stanford BUT accepted to NYU. dear writers, please give teens across the nation (your target audience) realistic expectations for college admissions.

YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME THAT PETER AND LARA JEAN WERE ACTUALLY QUALFIED ENOUGH FOR STANFORD. LEMME JUST SAY, I'VE APPLIED FOR COLLEGES THIS YEAR AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD GRASP ON WHAT IT TAKES TO GET INTO CERTAIN COLLEGES. YOU'RE TELLING ME THE TWO OF THEM. REALLY. GOT. INTO. THOSE. SCHOOLS. pls.

DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE KISSING BOOTH. ELLE AND NOAH ARE POSSIBLY THE DUMBEST CHARACTERS I HAVE EVER WATCHED. I DON’T SEE THEM DO A PAGE OF HOMEWORK AND I DON’T EVEN THINK THEY ATTEND CLASS. LIKE MAKING A KISSING BOOTH FOR ONE FUNDRAISER FOR A CLUB THAT CONSISTS OF 2 PEOPLE DOES NOT COUNT AS ENOUGH TO GET INTO HARVARD. but that’s a different movie...

this is literally the idea that television and movies have in making it super easy to get into ivy leauges. as if some in state college isn't up to society's standards of where or where not it's ok to go to college. it's when gabriella montez goes to stanford, troy goes to berkely, ryan evan goes to julliard, teddy duncan goes to yale, cody martin is accepted to princeton, HANNAH MONTANA does to stanford.

and lara jean wants to study english lit. she never says “i want to go to stanford because of their great english lit program”. it’s only “i want to go to stanford because my boyfriend is going and i have no other life outside of him

fine. make your characters seem awesome by making them go to awesome colleges. but still. this is upseting.

you know how awesome it is to hear UVA, the college I've always wanted to go to, in a published book? and for them to just rip it away- espeically when UVA is so attainable?? Yea yea movie directors, i get it, UVA isn't good enough for you. whatever.

They had AT LEAST 5 MONTAGES. 5. FIVE. WHO NEEDS THAT MANY MONTAGES. To quote my friend "the movie is all montage and 30 mins of plot" AND I CAN'T FIND IT IN MYSELF TO DISAGREE WITH HER.

AND THE DANCES. I REALLY DIDN’T NEED TO SEE NOAH CENTINEO DO WHATEVER HE CALLS “DANCING” IN 2 MONTAGES. I know everyone fell in love with noah in the first movie, but i’m pretty sure everyone fell out of love with him in this one.

again, i know nothing about movies, but 5 montages?? it seems like you're just filling space and trying to make everything seem ✨awesome✨ and ✨amazing✨. SURE. everything might be awesome and amazing, but this movie was 1 HR AND 55 MINS. and you decided to add 1 HR of montages? WHy. AND. one of them was in slowmo. i can't

THEY HAD VOICE OVERS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE. sure. 1 at the begin and 1 at the end, I think that's cute. BUT THE WHOLE MOVIE?? WHY. like bruh- have a focus.

literally did anyone read the freaking book? Remember how- in the book right? Margot was actually really not ok with Trina bc she's sort of replacing their mom? and Margot is rlly not ok with it but gets over it?? see how that was summarized in like 5 seconds in the movie? Oh i'm sorry you used all your time for the movie making STUPID MONTAGES but can we get some actually emotionally beats next time?? thanks.

ok this is a big problem i have with the movie. in the 3rd book, peter tries to have a relationship with his dad who ran away from him years ago. He struggles with that relationship the whole book. This is good stuff. people can relate to this. the scene in the diner where peter “confronts” his dad was CRINGEY. It could be noah’s acting but i couldn’t take him seriously. AND HE FORGIVES HIS DAD AFTER 30 SECONDS. the movie tries to include these smaller storylines but can’t because of the time limit. i’m no screenwriter, but i’m sure there could have been a way to subtly move that plot line during the entire movie rather than that one conversation in the diner

and in the book, peter has to train for lacrosse so he has to eat healthy which stresses him out. i specifically remember him getting mad at someone (maybe it was john ambrose, i don’t remember fully) for EATING HIS CARROTS. this just shows that peter has a life too. he has to worry about lacrosse along with losing lj. but no, the movie makes him look like the perfect boyfriend who has no other worries in life except for the girl in front of him

remember how- in the book (right?? bc they had a book to go off of???) Stormy was a part of the 3rd book? like a BIG part?? They LITEALLY just used her as John Ambrose's grandmother (WHICH IM PRETTY SURE THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO IN THE MOVIES). literally, stormy and john ambrose were throw away characters in the second movie and i am infurriated. BUT ALSO I LOVE JOHN AMBROSE HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO HIM??

and remember, how in the book, how the dog's name is "Jamie Fox-Pickle" and they changed it to HENRY??? where is the flavor. what was the reason. SERIOUSLY.

BUT ALSO. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT THERE WAS A POINT IN THE PLOT WHERE PETER'S MOM TOLD LARA JEAN TO BREAK UP WITH PETER. DOES NO ONE ELSE REMEBER THAT?? AND THEY CUT IT ALL OUT OF THE SCRIPT?? LIKE WHY. WHAT WAS THE REASON.

ok those are my biggest book grievances I think. but lemme just say, they NEVER went to NEW YORK. They literally wrote that in for the purposes of NYU. in the book, Chris and Lara Jean DRIVE to UNC because that's ATTAINABLE. BC THEY'RE STATE UNIVERSITIES. ANYWAYS

LJ’s and Chris’s spontaneous trip to unc showed their friendship in a good way. I never really liked chris as a friend to lj but during the trip, they are besties and it shows. the movie tries to do that in ny but peter is also in ny for some reason. she should have fell in love with ny WITHOUT peter at her side nagging her to sneak out and go on a date. she should have spent more time with chris rather than thinking about peter while she was watching the band.

the scene where Lara Jean is in New York and at the party and she sees the band? To all the boys I've loved before: Always and forever?? more like To all the boys I've loved before: gay awakening time.

when they moved the pink couch to the subway? WHy? They wanted snazzy pics.

when Lara Jean and Peter were making up and it was a really cute sequence AND THEN THEY MADE HER LOSE HER V CARD. FINE. I GET HOW THAT'S REALISTIC BUT IT WAS A CUTE SCENE. MY FRIEND ALMOST STARTED CRYING AND THEN LJ LOST HER V CARD AND WE COULDN'T STOP SCREAMING.

this is different from what was in the book (for the 100th time). In the book, they don’t do it and it shows that you can be in a high school relationship without being physical. I strongly appreciate that message. This darn movie had to have her lose her v card. WHY. IT ADDED NOTHING TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THE YEARBOOK SIGNING WAS SYMBOLIC ENOUGH

the montage where it's a montage of all of lara jean's and peter's cute moments?? ok fine. that was cute. but they literally just took scenes from past movies. imagine the impact if we like hidden moments from their relationships. maybe they're laughing in the car together. maybe they're watching they sunset. maybe peter is looking at her lovingly while she sleeps. WHAT IF. it WASN'T a montage of all the "bigger" moments of their relationship, and we got to see them just exist.

UGH. THE VOICE OVER AT THE END OF THE MOVIE IS SO CRINGEY I CAN'T

"WE AREN'T LIKE OTHER COUPLES. NOT US, LARA JEAN AND PETER KAVINSKY. BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMETHING BETWEEN US. WRITING LOVE LETTERS" please. b freaking s

Some redeemable qualities

while i didn't like most of the songs, "like me better" by lauv will always be loved. especially since it's a call back from the first movie?? I can ftw

WHY WASN’T “LIKE ME BETTER” THEIR SONG???? I really thought it was a good song to be their song and they referenced it in the beginning. No offense to the “beginning middle and end” people, but i felt no attachment to that song.

they customized her phone. it looked like it was a 7 (idk rlly, i don't know crap abt iphones) but they customized it. Granted, I KNOW lara jean would be the one with the aesthetic background with color coded folder, but still- they did give her relevant apps. some to note include; tiktok, spotify, instagram, netflix, notes, messages, facetime, maps, whatsapp and the STANFORD APP?? whatever- i'm chill.

they did make lara jean make choices so that was good.

the prom ask?? That was cute. with the pancakes??

at the end when Peter played the song even though earlier he didn't like it?? I liked that. i liked that a lot. ok fine i more than liked that a lot. There are multiple texts where my friends are screaming at each other. In fact, 26 separate messages.

chris in general. granted, she was more present in the books, but i'll take what i can get.

some notable quotes by her, the queen

"I'm dead inside"

not wanting to do a gigantic walk down from the stairs and asking the boys not to turn around

peter said he liked lara jean's forehead kisses and that reminded me of emma chamberlain so that's a positive only bc of emma

I remembered that they were the class of 2021, and I'M class of 2021 and it just hit for a second.

my friend cried over their graduation but i felt nothing bc we're literally living in a pandemic and chances of me getting a real graduation?? we'll see

again, these are all just my opinion. my friend doesn't like the movie bc she says she's sad and bitter and seeing these cute couples makes her feel lonely but i'm just diappointed. the books were GOOD. they were gold.

there was so much they could’ve done with the movies, and i just feel like they didn’t deliver on anything. Jenny Han, i’m sorry. The movie overall, ik someone who cried about it and someone else who gave it 7/10. props for them but jeez i just wish for more.

ok but that’s the show folk. i mean, obviously everything i said was opinion and literally don’t listen to anything i’ve said. BUT. feel free to add what you hated or loved abt the movie too. thanks. i love you guys. “always and forever” :,)

p.s- omg not them ripping off taylor swift. jk jk. ok bye

[yooleestruck]

LET’S SOLVE A CRYPTOGRAM TOGETHER. Or, apologies to the social media team for being impatient, but lee had a weird, weird childhood that included competitive family cryptogram solving and Nonna was RUTHLESS so I had to be fast.

ANYWAY.

Baseline assumption - most cryptograms are simple substitutions (one character = a different character) because who tf has time to be more complicated than that. Since I’m too lazy to draw runes, going to swap them for letters that are more easily recognizable to me. SOLUTION UNDER THE CUT (“solution” it could be a red herring)

Okay, so, now. Easy assumption: any repeated three letter sequence? Probably “the” this tells us A=T, L=H, E=E. (If it isn’t “the” it’s likely “and” but I always start with “the”)

Sidenote your girl is an overconfident heathen and did this in sharpie, but it should really be done in pencil because we’re gonna make a lotta assumptions and they may not pan out (name of the game is speed not precision). Speaking of assumptions! We can see there’s a two letter word that starts with t. Going to assume it is “to” which tells us I=O

Another quick one, there is a two letter word that begins with O. It’s either OF or OR. R is pretty common, and this character only appears once, so going to assume it’s F. (EDIT, like an HOUR LATER I realize ON was also a possibility at this point, but whatever, it got solved even missing that)

Now what?? At this point, I start looking for patterns. In particular, double letters because words with them are slightly more rare. 

Two words have double letters. We have more information on the one that starts with H (namely, that it also has an ‘e’). So I literally just started running through words in my head that have repeated letters and begin with H (sort of embarrassed that my first thought was ‘wholly’ don’t judge) - hallow, hollow, hoosier, hugger/hugged (possibility!) hitter (can’t be, already used t), hidden (possibility!) that’s literally three right off the bat. Since this is a cipher and all about being mysterious, I opted for hidden as a reasonable answer. IF hidden is correct, then P=I K=D J=N. Let’s try it!

That was a big assumption. So now we spot check to see if we created anything completely ridiculous. I’m side-eyeing the d word because it’s a weird letter to begin a word with, but the OND is actually pretty promising - fairly common word ending. Think we’re on the right track. 

Going on to the next double letter word, we have an even more interesting pattern of ABBA within it (or CFFC as it were). I went through a quick mental list (tallow, tugged, tunnel, toggle, terrible, turret, teller - I paused on teller, but it doesn’t work because E=E not C). Got stuck, so we move on. (SPEED)

What else do we know? 

We have a PHRASE NOW. “To the hidden _o__d”

The word ending in D has to be a destination because we are going TO it. Hidden destination? Doesn’t take a lot of effort to come up with ‘world’ (land came first but doesn’t fit). N=W, B=R, F=L - all new letters we haven’t used before, so it works. Let’s try it.

This makes it pretty obvious that the first word is Travel (because we’re going to a hidden world. What else is a transportation verb beginning with T!) Checks out - C & D are new, as are A and V. C=A, D=V 

Also HOW MANY WORDS do you know with nown that begin with a lesser known letter (Z only appears once). One. I know ONE. I just used it. ZJINJ has GOT to be ‘known’. Z=K

Now, Tallav is suspicious because it’s not a real word (or at least one I know), but given the context of the sentence, it works. We’re down to two words EOND and DOAIN. 

“travel eond the known” - say it out loud and ‘travel BeYond the known’ makes sense. G=B, H=Y

Now we’re left with one word that has two letters we haven’t used before and is probably geography or transport related, given the remaining context. Not that many D words that fit that bill, so Domains it is. O=M Q=S (side note I was shocked S only got used once.)

TA-DA.

Now. The only message I have in regards to this is that speed puzzle-solving is DEFINITELY MORE “SLOPPY GUESSES” than it is “science and systems” 😂 someone else may have done it ‘better’ but, this helped me solve it while waiting for folks to join a meeting, so, yes! ~6-8 min. (I share this not to brag but to prove I didn’t whittle away too much time of my life on this I swear) but it was fun! I enjoy these kinds of challenges, and hope you did too.

Happy (de)ciphering. Now watch me be completely wrong lolololol 

But I did see we reached 400 notes, so, time to see what @lovestruckvoltage​ says!

So...........New typing quirk

Well, this took a while...............this is a lot. There are 5 basic steps (@whitewarrior02​ because you were interested):

1) Initial substitutions:

Firstly, I replace all instances of th and ph with θ, for the aesthetic.

x is also replaced with ξ, also for aesthetic.

These are the things that I would do if the ‘normal typing quirk’ option was chosen + the final substitutions.

2) Bone traversal:

θis took much longer θan eξpected and contributed a lot to θe delays.

In short, bones have names; also θey connect wiθ each oθer.

θe process is θis - start wiθ a bone (lets say θe sternum)

θen spell out θat bone in θe text, bold it and use θe atbash ciθer (a-->z, b-->y, etc) on it, so this tells our new undergraduates many things becomes this tells our new undergraduates many things becomes thih gvlls oui mew fndergraduates nany things.

θen pick anoθer bone θat θe previous bone was connected to (articulates wiθ), and continue indefinitely. In θis way you do a sort of skeleton traverse as you go θrough the bones. Here is a document θat lists all possible traverses, let me know about any mistakes.

Yeah...θis contributed θe most to all of θe delays

3) 123 initiative

θis bit suffered θe most difficulties, in terms of sow complicated and unintuitive θe actual sbstem is. Basically, ylu make a sequence of 1, 2, 3s θat does not repeat a number or sequence of numbers consecutrvely, e.g. 1212 is not allowew, 132123213 is allowed, 1213121 is allowed, yut ylu cam’t add any digits bvyond. θis is pug at θe start of every paragraθ. θen you convert letters to numbers like θis:

i = 1, z = 2, e = 3, a = 4, s = 5, g = 6, t = 7, b = 8, j = 9, o = 0

Add θe corresponding number from θe sequence (like θe letters in θe bones in step 2) θen mod 10 and reverse θe conversion.

Example: 

this tells our new undergraduates many things

becomes

3213121323123, 3231323 (you can save multrple sequences)

oheg oallt zur ngw undsrjrsdugogt mtny bhanbb

yeah, θis is ieally annoying anw i’ll probably make a tool to automate it at some point i guess (this also works on the bone substitutions)

4) Final substitutions

2132123213, 21, 3, 3132, 1312, 21312321231, 1312131, 123213

oof Taste - bad clue is one of my favorites too ! jfhdgkdjgh i fcukin Love hao in that outfit, him leaning over the table just /sure/ that mingyu was the culprit - my heart melted for him then and There i cannot dfkgjhdjkgh lol just sharing the story of how i became an 8star :DD also !! how r u ?? --💕

B R U H listen not to be a fucking simp but i’m here for ONE reason and that’s to be a fucking simp and fucking fuck they did so good and they looked SO GODDAMN GOOD. the fucking eye contact in the climactic end scene standoff over the desk, FUCKING VERNON WHERE HE JUST GOES “there’s something i haven’t told you yet” and then THE LIGTHS GO OUT AKSJALKDJFLKA WHAT A FUCKING POWER MOVE and like they did a solid job of staying in character even though i kept forgetting what their characters were lakdjflkajsdf thirteen roles is very hard to memorize in like. a quick intro sequence. except jun’s that one was easy i loved that one so much.

but like bruh the set design. fucking stellar listen the gose staff did a damn good job (either in choosing it or in dressing it i have no idea what they did to make this but fucking mad props to them either way) and it was a really good idea to give seokmin the added motive of trying to swap out the will cause it added some nice spice to the storyline of the episode and putting together all the backstories and making them distinct and having all the suspects and adding all those details must have taken so long and THE MEMBERS REMEMBER ALL THAT TOO and the fucking styling to fit their characters and also look fucking hot (which MISSION SUCCEEDED MOTHERFUCKERS) and b r u h h h h h h h h h

listen i have a lot of feelings about bad clue and almost all of them boil down to “where did jeonghan get the shotgun and why do i want him to slam it like a baseball bat directly into my skull” anyway seokmin trying to commit fraud is incredible and the fact that he STILL tries to make sure they got the will thing done in the end even after getting eliminated was fucking amazing that’s commitment to the role anyway fuckin bummer scoups got murked right away but he was too powerful to be kept in the business yknow ALSO FUCKIN COCKY ASS DINO FUCKIN COCKY ASS SELF ASSURED COOL BEANS DINO AKSLDJFLKASJDFLKJ HEAD EMPTY ONLY DINO, WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA’AM.

fuckin deadass i am gonna rewatch this motherfucker while writing this damn ask so i can make sure i simp for every fucking member because i am a simp and that is IT i am a simp before i am a human and when i say i have had this motherfucker open among my hundreds of tabs basically since it came out I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM NOT KIDDING

ngl i STILL don’t fuckin know if mingyu knew the whole time or not like deadass i don’t, like sometimes i’m like “oh he has no idea” and sometimes they zoom in on a fucking smirk and it’s like WELL FUCKING DOES HE??? DOES HE OR DOESN’T HE

yo the conspiracies the DRAMA i’m living i’m living i’m liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiving also fucking dino poking into everything “i’m prosecutor” SWEETHEART, I LOVE YOU, BUT COME BACK WITH A WARRANT also ALKSDJFLKASJFD I FORGOT HOW MUCH THEY SCREECHED WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT THIS IS HILARIOUS IT’S LIKE WHEN THE TEACHER SHUTS OFF THE LIGHTS TRYING TO GET THE CLASS TO SHUT UP

WAIT NO DINO GOT YEETED FIRST I FORGOT ABOUT THAT NOOOOO ANYWAY COME BACK WITH A WARRANT BITCH <3 omg jun noticed the statues like right away big braiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin big fuckin braiiiiiiiiiiiiin

SIR THAT MAY BE INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE OF YOU BUT I FUCKING HATE YOU bro it’s so fuckin funny that they basically knew the answer from two thirds through the first episode and still like dude they had him sussed from round two and STILL.

ALKSDJFKLASJDKLFJ SCOUPS GIGGLING AS HE FUCKIN YEETED OUT OF THE LIGHTS OFF ROOMS AND THEN GOT ABSOLUTELY MURKED THAT’S SO FUCKING GOOD THAT’S SO GOOD I LOVE THAT SO MUCH

wait holy SHIT they fuckin yeeted josh into the hotseat and he didn’t even BLINK damn dude OH FUCK JEONGHAN HAS THE SHOTGUN PLEASE GOD CRACK ME ACROSS THE SKULL JUST ONE GOOD FUCKIN WHACK DUDE

also i know i haven’t simped for wonwoo yet and that’s because i am trying so hard to have self control but i want you to know that not only does this fucking look live rent free in my brain at all times, sometimes my head randomly conjures up him shouting “guys come here” and i can’t complain at all

also it’s fuckin hilarious that they all read the will, and THEN seokmin swaps it, and then they’re like “oh this sounds legit” EVEN THOUGH THEY JUST FUCKING READ THE WILL, LIKE?????? I KNOW YOU READ IT BRO WTF

“damn who would want to kill the chairman?” and minghao IMMEDIATELY fuckin incriminates himself what a fucking legend this man would be scary in among us like “red’s dead by electrical” “oh yeah i was just coming from there” “you just placed yourself by the body” “WOULD I DO THAT IF I WERE IMPOSTER” also he’s got the order memorized off the top of his head which is fucking incredible because i have to imagine that first episode was like at least 45 minutes or an hour filming it and i literally just watched them all get yeeted in under twenty minutes and i don’t remember the order so more fuckin big brain shit

THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE ROPE WAS FOR ALKSJDFKLASJFD ABSOLUTE FUCKING CHAOS IMMEDIATELY AND MINGHAO LOOKS SO FUCKING EXCITED IT’S SO FUNNY SIR CALM DOWN OH MY GOD THEY’RE ALL ENJOYING THIS LIKE VISIBLY IT’S SO FUCKIN FUNNY THEY’RE LIKE WRASSLING MINGYU WITH THESE HUGE FUCKIN SMILES IT’S HILARIOUS

[ahgaseda]

the NSFW alphabet | Jaebum (Got7)

{ this post contains graphic descriptions and explicit content : please read at your own risk! }

A = aroused (how he acts when he's in the mood)

he is not very subtle when he wants some action. he will come up behind you, wrap his arms around your waist, and start whispering in your ear the things he wants to do with you and to you. he has a lot of patience and self-control though so if you plan on teasing him just know he can outlast you.

B = body (favorite body part of their partner)

he loves your ass. it belongs to him. he loves to spank it. he loves to bite it. he loves how it bounces when he takes you from behind. when you’re out in public he has a habit of letting his hand rest on the lowest curve of your back just shy of your butt because he’s possessive of that ass.

C = climax (what he's like when he orgasms)

he guards his masculinity with an iron fist so don’t expect him to lose his shit any time soon unfortunately. he will grit his teeth and stifle the sounds he wants to make when he comes. you’ll feel him shiver and shake while he tries to catch his breath. he might let out a swear word or two. despite this he may be a little more noisy when getting head especially if he is overstimulated. his preference is to come inside you, but he also likes coming on your stomach or ass.

D = dominance (is he dominant, submissive or a switch)

dominant to the tenth degree. you will never get an ounce of submission out of this man. he gets his pleasure from power and gets off from seeing you indulge him. in and out of the bedroom he is the king of the palace. there will be times he will be a bit too overbearing and when you call him out on it he will sulk but will eventually get over it. in bed he will prefer a dom-sub dynamic with his partner though not to an extreme. hes surprisingly more on the vanilla side and wont be into hard bdsm.

E = experience (how experienced is he in the bedroom)

he knows what he’s doing and he’s not much of a risk taker. he has been at this long enough to know what he likes and how to get it done. that being said hes not one for casual sex. Capricorns rarely jump into bed with someone they dont have a connection with. it doesnt have to be love but there has to be a degree of trust or mutual respect.

F = fortitude (does he have a lot of stamina and energy)

he is in great shape and is extremely flexible. but he is more the type to wanna sleep after a nut. sex with multiple rounds and orgasms will be reserved for special occasions. when it comes to sex he can last for quite a while since he prides himself on his self control and he can maintain hard and rough paces without breaking a sweat. the stroke game is strong and he likes to mix between intense and merciless to sensual and slow.

G = gratification (what really gets him off)

being in control. he’s a Capricorn and he’s a natural born leader. this man needs control and if he’s not getting a hundred percent of it he won’t be satisfied until he has it. there will be times he will let you top and have your way with him but he will be a power bottom. outside the bedroom hes much more lenient if you wanna be a brat but in the bedroom do so at your own risk. he will assert the pecking order whenever he needs to and that really gets him off.

H = habitat (preferred place to get busy)

the bedroom. he’s not one for public sex though he will gladly tease you and get you riled up but anything more intimate is reserved for the bedroom. he knows what he likes and what he wants and he likes the privacy and security of his comfortable space. this doesn’t mean he restricts all sex to the bed. he will take you on any available surface as long as its his. now if you surprise him at the studio for some loving you may get fussed at. if its his own private studio that can be included in his safe spaces. but dont try the same stunt at the company studio dear lord he will not be happy.

I = intimacy (how emotional is he when it comes to sex)

though he is dominant and sex is primarily about power to him, intimacy is very important as well. he feels nothing affirms intimacy quite like sex. and pleasing you is his utmost priority. though he guards himself very well, there will be times he will allow himself to be vulnerable with you especially after sex and such a connection has been felt between you. sex viscerally reminds him how much he loves and needs you.

J = joke (how much does he play around)

during sex, not at all. during foreplay or the teasing phase, he will be more light-hearted and playful. he will trail kisses up your neck or tickle you to hear you laugh. but when it comes to sexy time he is all business. joking around is for getting you in the mood. once he has you where he wants you, his focus is on getting you both off.

K = kink (toys or kinks)

he is kinky but he is not readily willing to show it. he will gradually open up about his kinks over time and he won’t give you a hard time if there are any kinks of his that you don’t want to indulge in. his biggest kink is marking. he wants you to be marked up for him (but not others) to see. he also likes to choke you. this taps into his ultimate control kink. he will use toys if you ask for them but he won’t introduce them. he’s more of a hands-on guy. he also likes to spank you. he will bend you over his lap, hold your hands behind your back, and give you some long drawn out spanks if you’ve been misbehaving.

L = lust (how often does he want it)

his sex drive is normal and average. music is his main focus in life at the moment. hes the type that will absolutely prioritize work over sex in most cases. though when he gets stressed from work he will either want extra sleep or some stress-relieving sex. other than that he will settle for sex a few times a week, maybe less. if his partner has a high sex drive he will mimic it. feeling needed and desired by his s/o will get him going rather quickly. he always wants to be the only source of your arousal and satisfaction.

M = masturbation (mutual and solo)

he the type to love giving you orders while you pleasure yourself. the first time you tried to initiate phone sex with him while you masturbated he came across as annoyed but then he really got into it. something stirs up his dominant side when he can make you come just by the power of his voice. he also the type to tell you not to pleasure yourself. and if you get caught you will be punished. the thought of you getting off without him aggravates his dom side. phone sex is the one exception since he is still technically involved.

N = never (what he will not do)

you will rarely tie him up. he will almost never allow himself to be restrained in the bedroom. he doesn’t want to be powerless. it does nothing for him and it taps into his insecurities. and he will never let you do anything that involves his ass. once again he’s very protective of his masculinity and he will not enjoy anything ass-related. except for smacking his butt. he likes that. or when you grab his ass while hes thrusting into you. he really likes that.

O = oral (giving and receiving)

he loves when you give him head. though he will always prefer to be between your legs, there’s something about looking down at you on your knees while you choke on his cock that does it for him. he especially loves fucking your face though he is careful to not go too hard on you. and boy does he love eating you out. he gets off on how much he wrecks you, how he can make you writhe when he’s making you come on his tongue. he doesnt do it too often. he likes to use it as a reward in most cases.

P = position (favorite position)

from behind. whether you are on hands and knees or bent over the nearest surface or flat on your stomach on the mattress he loves fucking you from behind. its possessive and primal and domineering. he loves pulling your hair and smacking your ass. this position lets him have all the control and a damn good view.

Q = quickie (what is a quickie like with him)

he likes quickies but they are never a first choice. they are a last resort. there will be times that he needs to nut but he’s short on time or patience. if the situation is right and you want it as badly as he does he will pin you down and fuck you hard. however this will still be restricted to his safe spaces. he’s not going to fuck you in a public place.

R = roleplay (favorite routines and tropes)

master and daddy. he really isn’t big into roleplay since he always acts like his dominant self in bed anyway. he may let you play around a little bit but he will always settle back into what he’s comfortable with and what he knows will work. he likes when you play the damsel and submissive, but he also enjoys when you tease him to rile him up.

S = seduction (how he gets you in the mood)

he is an expert at reading people and it won’t take long for him to memorize exactly what buttons of yours he has to push to activate the launch sequence. if dirty talk does it for you then that’s what you’ll get. if neck kisses are your weakness he’s going to melt you. when he’s needy and trying to get you amped up he will be handsy and assertive but if you’re not in the mood he will throw in the towel and go jack himself off. he will never pressure you into anything. remember he needs to be needed.

T = teasing (what is the best way to arouse him)

challenge him. oh yes make him put you back in your place. he will go nuts for that shit. he is a dom that loves to be antagonized. if you were to be unconditionally submissive to him at all times, things would obviously get rather boring. he knows that and he likes when you keep the bedroom fiery. giving him the chances to assert himself does wonders for his sex drive.

U = underwear (lingerie and costumes)

lingerie fucks him up real good. if you wear a schoolgirl ensemble all bets are off. but he will also like anything sexy or racy, innocent or coy. he’s not restrictive to one kind of theme. sending him lingerie pics while hes working will earn you a one-way express ticket to some rough sex when he gets home.

V = verdict (what do you think of your sex life with him)

all of your friends are jealous of your sex life. your only complaints involve his unwillingness to switch things up. he likes what he likes and doesn’t like to experiment or deviate from what works. nevertheless you have very passionate and hot sex with him which is never dull or boring because he is very intense and always makes sure you are sated and wrecked to soothe his own ego.

W = words (how vocal is he and dirty talk)

getting you in the mood he is a professional at turning you on. but during sex he’s not very vocal. he’s a heavy breather and a grunter. he may let out a moan on occasion especially when you swallow his cock down your throat. his dirty talk is blunt and nasty. dont put it past him not to go into detail about what he plans to do to you. he loves making you blush with how explicit he can be. and he will do it in the calmest lowest most sultry voice youve ever heard.

X = x-rated (how does he feel about porn or sextapes)

he will watch it when he needs to get himself off but dont expect him to put it on to get you in the mood. he knows how to arouse you and he takes great pride in being the one to get you horny for him. he would be willing to make a sextape with you but you would have to remind him. it’s not going to come to mind when he’s in the heat of the moment. he would opt for photos rather than any home videos tbh. if you had him take lingerie photos of you and then put them in an album for him as a gift he would be the happiest boy alive.

Y = yawn (what is he like after sex)

he wants sleep. seriously once he finishes the countdown to him passing out has begun. but he also needs you struggling to catch your breath from what he’s done to you when he takes you in his arms and settles comfortably for bed. he will make sure you’re okay, because even though he fucks the living shit out of you he is a respectful guy and needs to know you are taken care of. he will also be sure to open the bedroom door so the cats can come in and take their rightful places for bedtime snuggling lol

Z = zodiac (what his sign says about him in bed)

a Capricorn needs satisfaction because they are perfectionists. to be honest, their desire to please you is almost entirely selfish. a Capricorn that can’t give their partner a mind-blowing sex life would hide in shame. having you satisfied and happy reflects well on them and they crave that on an insanely high level. on the downside Cappys can be set in their ways meaning they tend to stick with what they know and are comfortable with. getting them to be a little more spontaneous and diverse in the bedroom will take suggestion or insistence on your part.

unusual headcanons x5 - randomize or pick your faves :P

r a n d o m i z e d : :

7. Do they wake up groggy or alert? do they like mornings? B-4 does not like his dream sequence program so far. Most of the dreams he has are foggy and unfamiliar - maybe memories from before his modern recollection. When the program shuts down, it takes him a few minutes to adjust. It’s very disorienting and one of his least favourite sensations. 

27. What do they never, ever want to speak of, ever? He has a very vague understanding of the events that happened with Shinzon. He does not remember being manipulated by them, nor does he understand more about the situation than he did when it was happening. But he has read the officer’s logs on the incident. He knows it was his fault for helping the Remans. He knows he was an embarrassment, an idiotic prototype that nearly caused the entire destruction of Earth. He was a large part of his brother’s death. He doesn’t consider himself the same person, but the guilt still gets to him frequently.

20. What do they hate being teased about? are they teased often? Similar to the last question, there are a few officers aboard who remember B-4 when they first found him. Geordie often marvels at how different he is now, and remembers when they asked if he knew where he was and B-4 responded, “I am in a room...with lights.” Although the comments are just in jest, he finds he hates hearing them and works very hard to prove that he is not that android anymore.

43. Do they like living alone or with another person / other people? B-4 actually prefers a roommate. A previous roommate he had was one of the officers who helped to rebuild him. They were rather close and he found they lived quite well together. She was able to perform maintenance routines on him and help monitor his dream programs at night. He has a small fear of being alone and something goes wrong, he becomes prone, he acts irrationally...Data has told him stories about being hijacked and made to do things against his will with no one realizing until it’s too late. 

36. Would they rather be alone or in a relationship? He has never been in a relationship - he is only five years old - but he is hoping to experience that someday. He watched the relationships form and break on the Enterprise and he has done considerable research into the sexuality and mating rituals of several different species. He is eager to try, but doesn't know where to begin. Data is not helpful in this endeavour.

28. Do they have kids? do they want kids? if so, how many? He feels it would be nice to have children in the future. Although he is incapable of organic conception, he finds the concept of adoption - or artificial creation - alluring in that he seems to have a very protective and nurturing nature. This is another reason he decided to study medicine. After hearing about Lal, he is sad that he never got a chance to meet her.

Journal Entry 1/ 4/201X

“  Sometimes I wonder if people Question what I think I’m working against. What the endgoal of gag proof cogs might be.

  We’re trapped under the religion of work. The religion of work chooses who lives And who dies. We’re not just working to afford to live, we work because your job status can determine if you get rebuilt of stay scrapPed. We’re generally under the belief that if you work hard enough, you wIll be approved for a rebuild, and for the most part that’s true. You have to suspect that a few ‘good’ cogs will stay scrapped and puRposely quietly denied a rebuild for political reasons, but it’s generally accepted that higher level cogs have a ‘right’ to rebuild.

  I’ve seen this favoritism first hand. Just about every coworker that gOt beat by toons before hitting level four never came back. I’ve seen so many people come and go. I’ve outlived most of my department, and I’m honestly angry When I realiZe that. They’re just... Allowed to die.

  I starteD my work mainly focusing on making gag tolerant cogs jUst for the sake of preserving life, and I still am, but I found out really damn quickly that what I’m doing isn’t necessarily  Just about that, it feeds into some want to dismanTle the religion of work.

  When cogs become gag proof, they can’t really be taken out unless Cog Nation decides to go full throttle evil and start eXecuting people. Ideally, the everyday cogs would be aBle to fight against the bosses because cogs attacking cogs with cog attacks doesn’t do much. The gag tolerant cogs would have the upper hand over the bosses.

  Once we have all the bosses taken out, the religion of work can be tossed out. We’ll be free.

  I think about that a lot. What it’d bE like in a free Cog Nation. I imagine having a lack of leaders or a hard order would be a tricky for some cogs, but once they get past that...

  A life where you don’t need to do backbreaking work to Make sure you have a basic right to just exist. A place where you’re free to pursue whatever you want, unrestricted, free from the weeks oF overtime that used to claim our days. Work would still exist, but I’d much rather haVe a society where work is done to help each other rather than something that eats up all our efforts to only benefit the elite.

  Of course, all of this is idylliC, and probably something that can’t necessarily be done, hell, I might be the only one in the room that wants that. Everyone has their own ideas about what should be done, and I respect that, especially because I have a chance of being wrong, but I know there has to be something better than this.

  At the end of the day, I’d be satisfied to just make gag tolerant cogs a thing, but I’ll still always reallY hope change can happen all around. Though, at the same time, I think about how toLerance can backfire... I thinK about how Chuck told me they could use their tolerance to be better at fighting toons, because that’s what he was doing for years.

  I like to assume people are naturally Good, but I know it’s unrealistic.

  If I think on it, it feels like more can go wrong than right with gag tolerance, but for whatever reason, I’m absolutely deadset on my bullsHit, regardless of the coNsequences.”
