12.20 Altered Stakes

[narastories]

catching up about fandom stuff

Oh, hi! Do you mind if I ramble a bit?

I feel like I've been a little distant and antisocial in the past few months due to personal stuff (mainly because my trauma bucket got kicked over many, many times, but also I've been trying to get the ball rolling on a few things I've been meaning to do for a while). And I know I'm not the only one who has been having a hard time. But now it's spring here, and I'm feeling a little hopeful and a bit more inspired. Is it just me? Do we dare to be hopeful??

I'm reminding myself that both of my favorite urban fantasy series, and main fandoms nowadays are due a new book maybe this year, and that is exciting and very much things to look forward to! It also makes me want to quickly write fic ideas I have before the canon status quo changes lol (Not that it matters. I believe you can write whatever you want. But with both of these series, we love to theorize about what is going to happen, so it feels like things are just not going to be the same when we get new pieces of information, you know?)

I'm also acutely aware that I haven't posted a Harry/Nic fanfic since the OTP challenge in NOVEMBER 2022 wtf. And uh, yeah. If you needed any further proof of my poor mental health then it is probably proof enough that I haven't touched my favorite obscure little OTP.

The good news is, that I have actually been inspired to write lately. I'm doing a little re-read of the FPA books, and also Skin Game, and it's all putting me back in the mood for fanfic. And I have been typing away for the past few weeks, trying to get back into it.

The bad news is, that I don't feel like posting things yet. I just want to be kind to myself and create without having to worry about sharing it. I know this might sound hypocritical bc I just shared a post about connecting in fandom. At the same time, sometimes it does good for a story to just let it sit and simmer a bit.

There is this expression (that I don't think is actually very popular in the English language) "to write for the drawer" and I never thought that was a bad thing. Sure I write very niche stuff so you would think it doesn't matter either way, but a story is never the same after you release it out into the world. So it's okay to keep it to yourself for a while and tinker with it and enjoy the process.

I also discovered gif making for myself. (If you have seen the gifset I posted yesterday, no you didn't :P I put it on private bc I wasn't happy with it yet. Mainly bc of the subtitle thing. I either have to figure out a clever overlay or venture out into the foreign planes of the internet to forage a little bit more lmao) I think the popularity of gifsets on tumblr is so fascinating, bc it's a format that just isn't very popular elsewhere (or convenient lol). When I was younger in fandom I never had a good enough computer to do this kind of editing. So now it just made me so happy to realize that my computer can do it, and I found it a relaxing activity.

I already dipped my toe in it with that Hellraiser/DF quote gifset, but now I figured out a method to make it look a lot better. And with open source tools too! That made me especially happy lol But I also realized that if I want to post gifsets then I might have to break my "no sideblogs" rule... Anyway, this is just one more thing that I will probably experiment with privately, and then we'll see if I put it out there or not.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is: creative hobbies are important. And if you can bring yourself to do them even when you feel like shit, it usually helps to feel a little less shitty. And that I will incubate my little projects for a while longer and then maybe I will feel like sharing them.

Seeking Love~Jadon Sancho

*GIF isn't mine. credits to the owner*

Jadon is cutie fr. we need more Jadon content. anyways enjoy <3

you can request from my prompt list

this is my master list

players/drivers I write for

13-"I'm your boyfriend and I demand you kiss me right now"

Things haven't been looking good for Man United lately. The last 5 games were something they didn't want to remember. Two loses and two draws with only one win.

What makes things worse was that Jadon didn't start in the last three games, only being subbed on in the last 15 minutes and barely having a chance to score.

So of course Jadon wasn't in his best moods recently. He wasn't mad or angry, he was just disappointed. And seeking some love from his girlfriend always made him better. Not when she was busy though.

y/n was still a university student, her last year actually. And her finals were in less than a month, and she was already spending all her time studying her ass off.

That wasn't something Jadon was enjoying. Of course he wanted her to be on top of her class and pass her tests with brilliant grades, but that meant she'd have less time for him.

After he arrived from his last training session of the week, he walked onto his girlfriend in their living room, her legs crossed and a table across her with all her papers scattered in front of her.

"hello love" he beamed with a smile, glad to see her after a long tiring training session

"hi" she replied, never looking up from the book between her hands

Jadon frowned and sat down next to her, trying to see what has gotten her attention that much that she didn't even look at him

It was her least favorite subject. Physics (that's me fr)

"you need some help with that?" he offered, knowing how many times she had cried because of it (also me)

"no thank you. I think I've got it" she looked up at him with a smile

She turned her head back to her books and papers, making Jadon frown again, as he didn't get his post-training kiss.

"you forgot something darling no?" he asked, confused why she would forget his sacred kiss that always him feel better

"oh shit. I forgot to make dinner. I'm sorry J. we can just order some take out" she apologized making Jadon chuckle

"no no its not about dinner" he shook his head with a smile

She looked at him with a confused face

"I think you forgot my kiss" he said in a low voice, leaning closer to her face

She smiled and turned her head away from him, back to her papers

"what if I didn't forget and just didn't give you one on purpose?" she teased, not looking at him

He gasped and placed an offened hand on his chest

"how dare you! I'm your boyfriend and I demand you kiss me right now" he said with a demanding tone, crossing his arms over his chest

y/n just smiled and continued ignoring him on purpose. It was fun to tease him a bit.

"y/n" he whined, trying to put his head in front of hers

She pushed his head away, trying to concentrate on her studies

"baby please" he begged with a pout, making y/n look at him again

His face lit up, before he leaned in quickly and settled his lips on her, kissing her deeply before she can turn her head again

After a few seconds of kissing, she pulled away and pushed him away

"go take a shower J. you stink" she said, pulling a disgusted face

He grinned and pecked her lips a few times before he got up.

At least he got his kiss.

Sunday Week In Review XIV

How's everyone doing? I skipped out on last week's update since it was a really slow week on all fronts for all the things for me last week. Things picked up a bit this week - but I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time finding my feet around here at the moment and finding a groove to get into.

Not sure if it's that time of year, a bit of a writing lull or what - but I've been a little meh, not in the sad sense - more like I'm a petulant child offered six different things and I turn my nose up at all of them because I don't know what I want lol.

Also trying to figure out a system for getting through my TBR list, right now it feels like it's out of control and there are only so many I can read in a week. Especially since I want to get through some of my physical TBR pile and dedicate a couple nights a week to offline reading.

Anyway, enough about me seemingly channelling Baby Truly™️ - on with the recap of the last two weeks!

T R U L Y   U P D A T E S . . .

I did a second round of the 'First Sentence' ask game, which I absolutely adore! If you haven't done it before, I very much recommend it! If you do this, tag me so I can come throw a sentence at you!

Round 2

tim x cagney (f!reader)

jack x reader (f!reader)

joel x Charlotte (OFC)

dieter x bryony (OFC)

jack x reader (f!reader)

frankie x clementine (OFC)

W H A T   I   R E A D . . .

Delta Landscaping (Triple Frontier) by @rhoorl Jess' series has me on tenterhooks for every update and then on the edge of my seat waiting for more! This last update we entered the start of Frankie's arch and while it pulls at the heartstrings, I'm so here for it and what's to come next! Also, Benny entering his Rocky era (Jess didn't write this, I've decided it) is something I'm also very much ready for!

Paranoid Hearts (Javi P.) by @goodwithcheese This series. This series is just something else and I finally got my ass into gear to get caught up, and while on the one hand, I'm sorry I started so late on the other hand I enjoyed this smorgasbord of Javi and Tabitha.

he makes life better (Joel) by @wildemaven This is such a warm comforting hug of a fic that just seeps into your bones, that makes your toes curl in softness and you re-read more than once. This is everything fluff should make you feel and I adore each and every last part of this and will be re-reading this.

Headshots (Marcus P.) by @secretelephanttattoo I was not ready for this to end, but El gave our boy Marcus the ending he and his Ella deserved and it was both spicy and sweet. If you've not read this yet, I suggest you do. Also, peep her forthcoming wip... 🔎

Thrash Metal (Dieter) by @morallyinept Jett is back with another delectably mouthwatering smutty one-shot with our favourite deviant Dieter Bravo. This is sinfully indulgent and a must-read and one that lends itself to definitely more than one read.

Six and a half minutes - Frankie's version by @avastrasposts This one calls for a breakout of the Hot Ones gif for sure, because this was the mood the entire time I read this. If anything, Frankie is not one to back down from a challenge...

Medicine (Joel) by @goodwithcheese I was so excited to see Megan had written for Joel that I had to drop everything to read this over my coffee the other morning. I love everything about the dynamic between these two and how Megan illustrates the deep affection they have for one another through their actions as we all know our post-outbreak Miller is not one quick with his words. I hope this isn't the last we see of Joel here!

M E M O R A B L E   P O S T S . . .

Heidi’s amazing mood board inspired by Sequins! 😍 I’m still in absolute awe of it and I love it so much! I think it's going to get a spot on my work desk this week! 💕

These thots had started off as Joel Thots, but have now morphed into Tim Thots and I'm not mad about it... might share a little snippet later 😏

@morallyinept's 'Ode to Writers' this week - I'm going to refrain from getting on my soapbox here (I'd be here all day) - but the table is not finite, it's infinite. If you're not inching your chair down to make room for another chair, or pulling the spare chairs in from the garage, then maybe you need to re-evaluate your relationship with this community.

E N J O Y E D  T H I S  W E E K  . . .

Finally watching ‘Strange Way of Life’ and getting to live message my thots to @rhoorl as I watched - it was a cinematic dissection.

Date night with Mr. Truly - we spent the entire two hours wondering what people do on dates aside from watching their phones and waiting for a call to say your kids are out of control and have taken over Nakatomi Plaza. But needless to say, we had fun, I even ate a meal without someone else's hand in it.

Amazing moots being mooting awesome 🙌 - I'm thankful every day that I get to interact with some wonderful people and have found a lovely corner of this hell site to play in a sandbox with some amazing people 💕

S P E C I A L M E N T I O N . . .

Check out this writing challenge that myself and a group of people that I'm lucky to call moots created that we would love for you to join in on! Everything about it is random and everyone starts with the same parameters and everything else after that is up to you! So excited to see what everyone does with this!

Do I know anything about Javi Pēna? Nope. Am I going to join in? Yes I am! 🙌

See you January 1st to dive into all the fics this challenge I hope produces! 💛

T H I S  W E E K ' S  J A M . . .

Thank you to @gnpwdrnwhiskey for inspiring this week's selection after she pointed out the parallels to Chiffon that I haven't been able to get out of my head since.

Hope everyone has had a great week! Here's to a great week ahead and I hope its a good one full of obnoxious drinks of choice and soft places to land and enjoy.

QL Wrapped 2023

i was tagged by @nongnaos and @ranchthoughts thank youuu <333

i meant to upload this at the latest by december 31st, but the thing is when i saw the tag i was a little overwhelmed at first bc i didn't know how to fill it out and then once i had it all written out i had a super hard time deciding on what to gif and then it all ended up taking soooo much longer than planned. and now it's already 2024. oops. well, better late then never...

so without further ado:

You watched 12 QLs this year that's about 264 hours!

(i'm counting only qls that started airing 2023 bc i didn't keep track of every single show that i watched and it's a lot easier to count all the 2023 dramas on mdl lmao)

You primarily only watched QLs from Thailand

i blame my bachelor thesis for this which i was writing on the translation strategies of thai to eng and also the fact that i'm learning thai, so any time i watch a series i'm like "do i watch something from a country other than thailand tonight??" only for a little voice in my head to go "yeah but you COULD be spending your evening practicing thai listening skills" so yeah...

You spent way too much time thinking about these characters: Pat Napat Jindapat

listen. LISTEN. i know ok, i know bad buddy is from 2021 not from 2023. however!!!!! bad buddy was part of our skyy 2 and that included my boy pat and so i'm counting it!!!! i'm always thinking about pat napat jindapat ok bye

no for real tho. i am NOT kidding when i say i have spent hours on end thinking about pat in the year of our lord 2023, two full years after the show dropped:

maybe in 2024 i'll finally sit down and write that meta that's been in my head for two years now

Your favorite show was Moonlight Chicken

it's gotta be the chicken show for me. yeah. it just felt so... idk, real in a way. idk how to explain it. i'm not even obsessing over mlc all that much but any time it pops into my head i go all kinds of 😭😭😭 and 🥰🥰🥰

not to mention the firstmix

the heartliming

and most importantly earth and fourth as an uncle/nephew duo??

i am so🥺🥺🥺

special shoutout also to jimbo the cat (left) who looks almost exactly like coco, my family's cat (right):

Another one of your favorites was Last Twilight

just. the way p'aof shows relationships on screen okay. yeah.

i cry

You are still stuck in this hallway:

yeah i've been thinking about the yank-kiss-yeet scene from hidden agenda and joke breaking down afterwards in that very hallway for 19 weeks straight gay. bye.

The soundtracks you listened to the most were:

(according to my spotify wrapped top 5)

Just Friend? (Bad Buddy)

Our Song (Bad Buddy)

น้ำลาย (My School President Cover)

Secret (Bad Buddy)

yeah. i've given up on the "only 2023 media" thing. if we're talking songs only from series released in 2023 then i've got love love love (our skyy 2) on no. 32 and no more empty nights (our skyy 2) on no. 46 on my spotify wrapped

also if you're wondering what the 5th song (on no.3 in reality) from my top 5 was that's missing above where i only mentioned four songs, well, it's none other than tilly birds' same page? which yeah. is also bad buddy related. surprise surprise 🤭

Your overall bl mood was P'Aof

You created 15 gifsets (of which "only" 1/3 were about making other shows about bad buddy)

you can find them here

You shazammed 295 royalty free background music pieces/songs from thai dramas

fun fact: i haven't mentioned this publically yet but since thai dramas keep using the same music over and over again in various series i've actually started collecting the different songs/pieces and i'm planning on making a side blog about it. i just want to go through some more dramas first before i publish anything. so this is something you can look forward to in 2024 dkjfkfdj

currently shazamming my way through bad buddy (you may have seen my blorbo breakdown about pran in the ep4 sleepover scene the other week that was triggered by me shazamming all of ep4). next on the list: theory of love and the eclipse. it takes ages tho, so don't expect it any time soon

Your favorite acting pair was JoongDunk

(is anyone even surprised by this lol)

no but for real whatever these two have going on, i'm intrigued:

i just. i love their energy ok. they're fun. and they're clearly having fun

i couldn't decide on what to gif so here's a little compilation bc fuck it, this is my post and i get to do whatever the fuck i want

(actually there's more that i could have put in there but i didn't wanna waste any more time with posting this tag game and also i was trying to keep the compilation somewhat short lmao)

they are such silly little idiot boys ("little" says the 155cm tall short person about the 180+cm giants 🤭) and i adore them &lt;3

their energy is essentially this meme and i'm so here for it:

and they just communicate so well when they're performing and you never feel like either of them is "alone" on stage (doing his own thing in his own little bubble), it's SUCH a joy to watch!!!! once again plugging two of my all time fave performances that i've been rewatching over and over again for the last 3 months:

also dunk is just SO little brother-shaped to me idek!! looking at his face just makes me go into big sister mode. it doesn't help that he's only like a month or so older than my actual little brother. AND he reminds me a lot of one of my fave kids from my youth group that i used to go to for years. dunk natachai has klein-andi energy and you all don't know what that means but i know what that means as does my mom and she agrees. so.

tagging:

i feel so ashamed for not making it in time before 2023 ended so i'm not gonna tag anyone but if you see this and you really wanna do it bc you haven't done it yet then please do so and tag me because i say so!!

and mutuals, send me yours bc i'm not sure i saw everyone else's!!!! (@celestial-sapphicss @moonkhao @visualtaehyun @telomeke @waitmyturtles @dribs-and-drabbles did you guys do this already and if yes, send me yours? i must have missed it 🥺🥺🥺)

Welcome Home | L.M.

GIF not mine.

Summary: An (OC) Weasley has a child with Lucius. She comes back to the wizarding world much to Arthur's dismay.

"This isn't smart. He will know you are back, Isobel, if he doesn't know it already," Arthur Weasley hissed at his younger sister. The siblings were currently fighting in her home. The warm welcoming dinner he had at his home was a sharp different than the current mood. Her older brother was worried for her safety. He had every right to be. The witch was playing with fire and was going to get burned the longer she stayed.

He peered out the window cautiously. Two witches walked past the window chatting about the various events happening in the wizarding world. Otherwise, the sidewalk was empty as normal. Arthur sighed and checked down the sidewalk once more. Not a single soul appeared. He closed the curtains roughly. "And Finn looks exactly like that awful son of his except for the red hair. There is no doubt he could easily spot him tomorrow while they are getting their school supplies."

"Can't ever get rid of that red hair," Isobel joked and ran her fingers through her hair. She was proud her son did not have blonde-white hair. The way Arthur glared at her made her realize he was not joking with her. She cleared her throat. "It's going to be fine. He hasn't seen me yet. More importantly, his wife and the other Blacks haven't seen me yet. Finn will go to Hogwarts and he'll be protected,"

Despite her brother's fears, she was happy to be home. Finn, her eleven-year-old son, deserved to be with his family. He had many cousins that he was just being able to hang out with. She always felt safe at Hogwarts. Finn would no doubt be safe under the protection of the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Isobel was a skilled witch. She could take care of herself.

"You think this is the time for a laugh? He has power in the Ministry. Some would say he has power over the Minister himself. One wrong move and he will trump up charges to send you to Azkaban without so much as a trial," he warned. "And that boy of yours will be raised by the Malfoys. I refuse to ever let my nephew be raised by such vile people just because my sister isn't thinking,"

Isobel rubbed her fingers on her temples. He was giving her a headache. There was no way he would allow her to be thrown in Azkaban. Arthur was always protective and that clouded his thinking especially when it came to Isobel.

"I think you are over exaggerating just a little. We are going to meet Gilderoy Lockhart at Flourish and Blotts, get school supplies for the kids, and go home," she assured him. Isobel walked to her fireplace. Soft taps on the top of the fireplace signaled it was time for him to go home. Arthur followed behind her. "Go home. Be with your wife, your kids, and your nephew. I'll see you tomorrow. Please tell my son I love him,"

"I know I can't talk some sense into you. You have always been so stubborn," he sighed in defeat. "Luckily, I am going to be there as well,"

"Nothing can hurt me with you there, brother. Have a good night," she bid him farewell and hugged him. He grabbed powder from a jar at the side of the fireplace and stepped into the fireplace. A long frown appeared on his face. Worry and fear of what was going to come evident in his face. Nothing good ever came from crossing the Malfoys. He announced his home and he was suddenly engulfed in green flames. Once the green flames died down, he was gone.

The next morning was a rush for Isobel. She woke up late, like usual, and had to rush to get to Diagon Alley. Her family must have been waiting for her by now. Upon getting ready, she stepped into the fireplace and called out Diagon Alley. The floo transportation was the best way to travel. The speed of getting from one place to another was unmatched except for apparition. Once she arrived in Diagon Alley, she quickly found her family. They were practically the only group of redheads around.

The late woman walked into Flourish and Blotts. She saw her nephews, Fred and George, along with her son waiting around the corner. The three of them couldn't care less about the likes of Gilderoy Lockhart. They were looking into a book.

"Finally, mum. I told them I should have gone to the house to make sure you were awake," Finn smiled and hugged her. Isobel rolled her eyes and kissed the top of his head.

"Hey, Fred, where is your dad? I feel like if I don't meet up with him in the next ten minutes he is going to kill me,"

"He is not Fred, I am," the other twin, Fred, spoke while looking up from the book.

"Honestly woman you call yourself our aunt," George tutted.

"I'm sorry, but your father, where is he?" She asked more urgently. The twins pointed to her brother talking to a man and woman. Isobel excused herself and made her way through the crowd to meet with her brother. Several of the members of the crowd didn't want to move for her. They felt like she was skipping to see Lockhart quicker. Finally, she started pushing past people and apologizing after. Once she made it to Arthur, he introduced her to the parents of one of his son's friends.

The friend's parents were charming. Arthur, of course, led the conversation with witty jokes about the wizarding world. Her heart swelled at seeing two muggles love their child enough to learn about their world. There were many parents before that would disown them. An uneasy feeling suddenly took hold of her like she was being watched. Out of the corner of her eye, a tall man with white-blonde hair could be seen. A slight panic coarsed through her body. Finn was across the shop with his cousins. The two were so close and she silently prayed that Lucius wouldn't recognize his other son. Her heart started to race and her face grew red. There was no way she could have been foolish enough to not bring Finn with her.

Arthur looked at Isobel. She seemed to have stopped engaging in conversation with them. Her outward appearance showed of someone that was panicking. He observed Lucius and his family speaking at the entrance. He excused himself from the others and made his way towards them. It was his duty to protect his children and nephew from that evil man.

After what felt like an eternity, Lucis left the store along with the copycat version of his son. Her heart rate started to come back down. She excused herself from the crowd and walked to her family.

"Percy, Fred, George, take Finn to get his school supplies. Let me know if anything comes up," he instructed. "Once you have finished meet me back at the Burrow,"

The four boys took off talking about the showdown that just went on with Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy.

"Arthur, I-"

"Go home, Isobel. We will talk later," he instructed her.

Isobel walked away from her family quickly. There was no more argument coming out of her. Her brother was right. She should have never ventured out where Lucius could be. Tears pricked her eyes. He would surely take their son away. Suddenly, a rough hand grabbed her arm and moved her towards a brick wall in a dark alley. Her back pressed against the wall. A cold, silver snake head pressed against the bottom of her chin. Her head slowly raised to meet the eyes of one Lucius Malfoy. His gaze had an evil glint like a predator would their prey.

"So the rumors are true," he spoke. His other hand caressed her cheek. "You have come back,"

Update!

Hello :) I'm sorry I haven't update a lot lately! We're into a rush at work as the season of the "Hello I'm calling to get an appointment for changing my tires!"has started! You guess it, I work in the Car Industry so we're having a big 6 weeks of non stop action ;) I still have so many Goran Movies and TV Shows to screencaps and lately I'm in a "Red Widow" mood... I'm just like this, I got moods... Hey, I'm a woman after all, so it happens sometimes. 🤣

My new project is to rewatch "Red Widow" and make Gifs from all the Goran's appearance in the show. The Gifs will be available shortly through the Gallery page. Summer is coming where I live and I will be less online as summer is my favorite season and I wanna enjoy it as much as possible, but I will try to update the website every week. After all it's Goran Visnjic Daily, right? Some of you might have seen it today, Goran made a story on Instagram! Thanks to @accio-baqat and @battleshipgarcy for the heads up, I sometime skip stories on Instagram, my bad... I'm sorry Goran ahha! 🤣 Hope you'll forgive me if you ever read this. The story is available below, not sure the link works, but hey, it's on Goran's Instagram in case you missed it. It's a March for Animals awareness and protection at Zagreb. This is such a beautiful cause, I'm an animals lover myself and would certainly participate in one in my town if it ever occured.

A post shared by Prijatelji životinja🐇 (@prijateljizivotinja.hr)

Also 👉 It has been announced that Goran is going to play Niko Marinović in "Ivo Vojnović: Ekvinocijo" Plays at The Dubrovnik Festival this summer.

Now, pardon me, I only speak English and French, the Croatian language is totally new to my eyes and ears haha! It's beautiful, there are words I do understand when reading, but I don't understand Goran at all when he speaks Croatian, but hey, I think we'd be even, I'm sure he wouldn't understand a word of my French Canadian accent ahah!

Hmm now, what else 🤭

I think that's all for today!

[motorclit]

I need to just... let myself fully indulge and enjoy the thing that's actually somewhat easily accessible to me... The thing that is NOT that is ecology, because I can only watch so many seminars before my ass hurts from sitting. I wanna go out and observe, experience, and even record data beyond just documenting for iNaturalist. I COULD do that, but I'm still not *quite* physically up to par to do that yet. I'm still working on strength and endurance, and since my .už has covid right now, I'm avoiding exercise for a few weeks until we know the virus isn't in this household anymore (haven't been able to get boosted yet because it's hard to get a hold of pharmacies that have novavax), and it'll take me all year to feel somewhat "normal" again fitness-wise.

So instead, the most accessible special interest of mine is X-Men TAS, since *most* episodes in my pirated copy still work (until we get Disney+ again which won't be for a little while still), plus there are 2 books out on that very show (one of course being an art book). I sort of avoid even watching it right now despite how excited I am for X-Men '97 to come out because I know when I watch it, it'll trigger a hyperfocus that goes Kaio-ken times 10 that will make me one annoying asshole to my muž about it.

I'm gonna talk to him about it, because the topic WILL be brought up a lot no matter how much I try to avoid info-dumping things that I love.

And when it comes to automatic special interest bring-up despite my mood, I will always correct anyone regarding ecology and animals (especially the creepy-crawlies) and I know it pisses people off but guess what? I don't care. Creepy crawlies deserve to be understood and respected as much as a damn tiger or some other charismatic mammal. There's just so many books on the topic of zoology and ecology and entomology that I want and I can't afford to keep up with that. (Don't mention libraries because we live out in the sticks. That's has money, gang. We can't always afford that.)

The only other semi-accessible special interest I have is punk music, specifically certain subgenres like riot grrrl or bands like the Lunachicks, and I'm hoping to work on my CD collection this year, too. Unfortunately, I have to order online. The nearest store that sells CDs is one of the last Sam Goodys in existence which is a 40 minute drive and they don't have a while lot of CDs left.

Soooo X-Men TAS it is.

And if anyone wants to know who my favorite character is, it's Beast; I have such a crush on him.

^ALSO I WAS SEARCHING THE GIFS AND I FORGOT JAPAN ANIMATED THEIR OWN OPENING OF THE SHOW AND LOOKIT HANK! I've headcanoned is obscenely strong but holds back to keep others safe, kinda like George Newburn's Superman in the late 90s, early 00s cartoons.

[biaswreckingfics]

Hey my darling ♥️

How have you been?

It felt like I was only absent for one day but right now I saw all these attacks of attractive men (mainly baekhyun) on your blog and I saw KINKTOBER ♥️♥️♥️

Like what happened?!?

First I hope that you survived the thousand heart attacks you might have caught from all these gifs and pics! Second I would like @quaaacky to publish her list of your biases because I want to know!

Also i‘d like to know if you are into seventeen? (Just by the way.. I am curious)

And THEN wow... i wasn’t aware of the fact that oh sehun is one of your biaswreckers?!?!? Like WHAAAT?!? And then why is he almost always dying in your fics or in pain?!? 😂😂

(Yeah okay maybe because you want him to pay for wrecking your bias list... 🤔 ok i get it)

Kinktober like HELL YES! If you mix it up with some horror gurl I follow you wherever you will go like for real! I am so excited!!! I was never hoping for the time to fly faster but now I am just ready for October 😂😂😂

Last but not least... I feel so sorryyyyy but I have to admit that just last week i started and finished reading Forsaken 🙊

It was way over time for me to read it but I don’t know why.. I hadn’t enough time or wasn’t in the mood but gurl... this is just another awesome fic of yours and i am angry over myself for reading it so late. Giving my best to finish ‘Letting go’ the next days but I’ll let you know 😘

I have to be quick because I have to end it before you drop ‘Liminal’.

Just the teaser of it guuurl... I would bet money and say this will be a masterpiece and I am ecstatic!

Okay i think I got everything off my chest for now and hope you’re doing fine 🤗

I wish you the best day/night and end my fangirl post with a sexy sehun because he may wreck you 😜

Hi michi!! I've been good, how about you?? ❤❤

I didnt sign up for the attacks haha, but I've been debating on doing something for one of my favorite months for awhile!! I'm excited to see what I can come up with for KinkSpooktober as I'm apparently calling it haha

I barely survived the attacks yesterday and I know they were going easy on me 🙄🙃🥺 and Quaaacky pretty much outed all of my biases 😭😭. All the ones that truly matter anyways haha 🥲🥲

I used to listen to Seventeen and be on top of their stuff, but I haven't in a couple of years now 🤔🤔 I moved away from a few groups bc I was just tired of their sound. Sehun, on the other hand, is indeed my wrecker for EXO (bc Baek, Chan, and Yixing are my biases 😅😅), but he only almost died in one of my stories!! He's a sassy king in the rest lol

It's okay that you haven't read Forsaken until now!! That was my first fic and I can only imagine how messy it is 😬😬 but people still love it which makes me happy 🥺🥺. Where as Liminal is concerned, I think this will be the hardest I've tried for a fic so far, and I hope it'll show!!

Hi again ^^ Sorry I'm still anon and haven't been responding. I got hit with a huge wave of work and have barely slept the last few days. But it's all over now and I'll get your gift to you soon!! Biotech is essentially trying to make a biological product! It's a huge field so there's a lot of things from like pharmaceuticals, cell therapy, to things like bio-remediation and environmental stuff. Your genetics teacher might be thinking about bioinformatics which is biotech and a lot of coding XD

But good luck with applying to med school! If that’s your dream there are always ways to make it work! I believe in you ^^ Oh I’m from around the New England area. I did my undergrad in New Jersey and now I’m doing my master’s in Rhode Island. Yes I studied in Stockholm! I traveled to the more touristy areas of Europe because I’ve never been to Europe, but I really wanna just take a backpacking trip around one day. There’s so many different places to go TT And so much foooooood      

I have been to Taiwan a few times! It’s been a while though. Most of my mom’s side of the family is back there, but my dad’s side of the family is in the US. I have a younger sister! Haha I know what you mean about being asked where you’re from though. When I was abroad I’d get asked where I’m from and I’d say the US, but then one person was like “but where are you REALLY from”. Honestly I also feel pretty out of touch with Taiwanese culture even though I have some habits. I really feel American       

I saw True Love but I haven’t had time to hear the whole thing! That’s my weekend goal. But I believe City of Angels (lol laser) was the one he sang at the fanmeet so I’m already in love with that one. So good TT And he wrote that one himself

It was only Myung in the Winter Olympics one! It’s understandable though, there were so many groups in the summer competition one and Infinite was a little neglected imo. But they still managed to get me with hamster gyu and like 5 seconds of Destiny lol. Actually MBLAQ was in this ep too! Lee Joon and Kwangsoo make the most amazing combo ever omg. I def miss the name tag eliminations though. They hardly do them anymore. I really liked the time period when they did creative versions of the game.   

Ohhhh I think I’ve heard of MBLAQ Goes to School. I should look into it haha. I’m always up for a laugh. Sesame player was amazing. Lol and those pranks XD I remember (I think it was Dongwoo) was like “when did this become a prank house” after that salt prank and I’m like lol only infinite. Can’t even safely eat food in their own home. These dorks.       

Ahhh tell me was so good. I like Infinie’s old style of music but I like this kind of softer edm music too. It’s like the stuff I usually like to listen to lol. Idk if that was a good description of the song but that’s kinda how I see it lol. And Sunggyu and Dongwoo were so good that comeback. Like that second verse was a Donggyu attack. I don’t know if I have a favorite concept from them really? They kind of have everything for every mood. But I have a running play list of their upbeat music.     

The stuff like Julia, Amazing, Lately, etc. I keep that playlist around when I’m having a hard time studying and stuff. It brightens my mood. As for english songs I kinda just….turn on the radio and find something I like haha. I don’t really have a preference with those. Ahhh I feel like I did a really bad job of getting to know you, I always just talk about myself haha. Tell me 5 random things that make you like or make you happy that you haven’t talked about!

Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry for taking forever and an age to reply back to you!!! I’m so sorry, and I don’t even have a good excuse like being busy with work, it’s just honest to goodness pure laziness on my part and not going on my laptop for forever. I hope you haven’t forgotten me and that you’ll reveal yourself!!

I hope you haven’t gotten busy again (you’re graduating this year right?). What are you focusing on in biotech? And I think you may be right about my professor meaning bioinformatics… I vaguely remember that term ^^;

You’ve certainly hopped around during your university years ^^ What countries did you visit in Europe? My parents surprised me by sending me to the UK for 2 weeks after my exams to join my sister there… It was amazing and I’ve always wanted to go there, but we ran out of time to hit everything we wanted to do. We couldn’t go to Ireland, which was my biggest disappointment. What is your most favourite memory from exchange? And what place did you like best?

I actually feel like a complete stranger… I don’t feel Canadian, Singaporean or Indian. I don’t really fit in any place completely, I’m a bit too traditional in Canada, too modern in India and Singapore… Well, I’m not exposed to the culture at all really. Funny thing… Singapore used to be not as well known when I was younger and I remember a kid trying to convince me it was part of the US. Even now, some people think it’s in India. The funniest is actually when I met Chinese international students, so many think that Singapore has only people of Chinese descent. When I explained that my dad’s family is from there and my mother from India, they thought my dad was Chinese.

What’s this whole City of Angels/Laser thing? I’ve seen mention of it, but I don’t get it… Did Sunggyu think the song was called Laser? (This shows up much I keep up with them, except for their music ^^;). You must have heard the album by now… So what’s your favourite? (Also, I didn’t know Sunggyu wrote that… Good to know and it makes me love it even more!)

Um… I think I started giffing around 2013 ish? Then I stopped while in uni, in fact my blog was basically inactive, and only just recently started fooling around on Photoshop again. I was quite atrocious in the beginning and am much fonder of my new stuff. But… I’m also quite lazy so I tend to not gif as much as I want to.

I 100% recommend MBLAQ goes to school. Joon and Mir are such jokesters. Sesame Player is still my favourite variety show to watch, all that screaming and backstabbing… And Sungyeol? He’s just too awesome. I would never have thought of injecting vinegar into bananas the way he did, that was a true genius move. Myungsoo’s, that was predictable, but that banana prank was just first class.

Do you prefer their upbeat songs more or is that just better to run to? My favourite upbeat song is Cover Girl… Have you heard the concert version where Sungyeol raps? I wish he would get a chance to do that in their songs, I think he raps pretty well.

I think we got to know each other pretty well? In fact, I too often think I wrote too much about myself.

5 things I like/make me happy… Hmm…

1. Being with my family - yes, we fight a lot, but we’re also really close and really stupid… My mother is crazy, my father is bullied… They’re what I missed most in uni.

2. I love airports/airplanes! As a child, I used to wish I could live in one ^^

3. Good books and movies… I love reading, but it’s so rare for me to find writing and plot that suits my taste. When I do, I devour the author’s entire works.

4. This is dorky… But I love learning ^^ Maybe it has to do with feeling smart? I love watching Jeopardy, especially if I get the answers right, but also to learn new facts.

5. I love puns… I quite literally cry with laughing over some of them.

Also, last post, but I saw your rant and I hope you’re feeling better :( I get the being introverted thing too. I’m pretty reserved and I like my alone time–there’s nothing wrong with it! I’m sorry you had to listen to all of it TT Please be happy!

Thank you for this! Ahh… Tumblr is my place to rant, but I tend to get over my anger quickly.

"Future me I haven't met, there's gonna be some pain. It's good to feel something."

When I look back at this year’s posts I’ll chalk them up to emotional instability due to being in my last year. (At the moment it still feels like the real deal sadly lol). I’ll admit I asked for these stupid emotions. After spending 2-3 years as emotionally hollow in university I used to pray that I feel my emotions when I’m in Canada and that’s exactly what happened and I’m back to being a frickin hormonal teenager again. Bro, you’re 23 stop receding back to 17. Sigh. What will I do with myself. Future me promise me you won’t regret asking for this because you now have it full force!!

Anyways, I spent yesterday working on my assignment for HR and then went to dinner and a movie with Ari after law class. We saw justice league! We all know I went for my fav. Superman and he didn’t disappoint this time like B vs S which was basically Bs. No pun intended. I liked the movie, but like I would give it a solid 7/10. The first avengers was better lol. We went to the keg later and had appetisers. OH WAIT I HAD ESCARGOT ACCIDENTALLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MUSHROOMS. ILL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS ARI!! I was really tired yesterday though and once again Mr. Rui invaded my thoughts because I was invited to a wings night by the jsa and I looked at whether he was going or not. Wow. So stupid I am. And then I posted a story on Instagram and he saw it. This low key annoyed me because 1. He doesn’t use Instagram and 2. Why do I care? I was just pissed at myself again for thinking so much about him again. Like just leave my mind in peace please. But he didn’t. I even thought of sending him a message at night asking if he went but came to my senses and didn’t send it. What is wrong with meeeeee someone snap me out of this please. I’ll pay you. Ugh. I decided to send out a study offer and then decided i would do it spontaneously on Friday but… Like casually.

I don’t have anyone to hang out with on Saturday so I’m just feeling lonely and Alice won’t be here and neither would Ari. Lol. Maybe I’ll invite Jessie? He seems more likely to come and more fond of me anyways ahaha. (We all known I’m gonna message Rui first smh) *insert disappointed face gif here* I can’t believe my mood went down after dinner but I was tired and sat outside in the lounge thank God because I was just gonna be sad in my room alone in my bed. I called Alice out and casually talking with a her made me feel better. Then I joked that she can go to bed and I’ll go cry over Rui. Even my jokes are about him now. AHHHHH FUCKIN ELL.

Enough of that, today I actually accomplished something! I stayed in bed till 11:40pm and then I did a bit of my assignment and went to the gym. In my 22 *cough* 23 years of life I’ve never been able to do a pull up and I did 2 today!! *clapping* thank you! Thank you! I’m so proud I accomplished that. Hard work and determination did pay off! I still feel fat though. I kind of don’t want to go tomorrow and rest but depends whether Rui comes over Saturday and we gym. Atleast I’ll have some body part to do if he does pop up. Shit now I want Jessie to come instead and then I don’t have to gym lol. My lower back seems a bit strained so maybe I shouldn’t push myself harder than I need to. This weekends gonna be busy because 1. I have the aikido pie night social tomorrow and 2. Slug horns pot luck party is on Friday and I haven’t decided if I’m going or not yet. I only know Reva whose going but maybe I should put myself out there instead of thinking about Rui and hating myself for it. Aikido is till 8:30pm that day and the party is at 9:00pm. How do I go to both? Can I go a bit late to the party? It’s ending at 2 I think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ll decide tomorrow after scoping out the address of the party and what I’m gonna make and how to get there! It’s Thursday tomorrow so a whole day of class. Yay… D: The JSA is having its movie night at 7pm and they’re watching your name. Fuck. I wanted to see it again ah! Should I skip psych in near the end just so I can go say hi? (To Rui… *slaps own face*) to Jim and the rest of the people… Then I can go for the aikido social and beg for pie. Sigh I’ll have to make several decisions tomorrow. I hope I make the right ones for me.

I’ll let life be my guide and take me where I’m meant to go. Who knows, maybe good things could happen along the way?
