A note on this: While I see where folks are coming from i'd strongly advise AGAINST saying the included text verbatim. I used to answer calls like this for work and in general staffers are more likely to take you seriously if you are using language that's at least somewhat unique. As a rule: Copy/pasted emails get auto-filed, original emails get a response. Take inspiration from the above text, take some of the arguments if they really speak to you, but personalize it so its not the same thing these people have already heard 20 times. A handful of unresearched and heartfelt sentences will get you much farther than you think (and will get you farther than unsourced and impersonal data).

If you're stressed about coming up with your own language here are the main points you need to hit:

your name and residence (some might want your address, but it's fine to start with something a big more general like your city)

What youre requesting your representative do

One or two personal reasons for your position. This can be anything ranging from your personal feelings and fears, to how the anticipated consequences will affect you

If you're feeling spicy: indicate that their decision on this will affect your vote

A generic example of this might be:

Hi! My name is Elle Woods and I'm a resident of Cambridge calling to oppose the appointment of Warner Huntington III to the Massachusetts Department of Animal Health . His plan to end funding for veterinary pharmaceuticals would cause a shortage of the medication that my dog Bruiser needs to survive, and his encouragement of cosmetic testing on animals is incredibly worrisome to me. If Rep. Callahan approves this appointment, I will most likely be voting against him in the upcoming election. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Those electeds that pay attention to their constituents are usually looking for one or two things: the way their choices will affect the people they represent (if you're lucky) and/or the way their choices will affect their bid for reelection (if you're less lucky). As an Average Joe, your humanity is your point of influence, and reusing language takes that power away from you

easy and stress-free guide!

Turn off your brain and go one-by-one. It's so easy and much less scary than you think!

Go HERE and enter your zip code

Pick up your phone, and call anybody listed as a representative, not a senator

You'll be asked for some identifying information. that's normal! you need to be their constituent.

Say the following:

And you're done!

It's that easy, and the person you'll be talking to will just be a kindly older lady or a tired intern. And the best part? They have to listen to you if you call!

Do not assume others will do this for you.

English is not my first language so sorry if there are any mistakes

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ *ੈ✩.

Your boyfriend Heeseung has loved sports cars since forever. It has been his passion since childhood. He was telling you often that if he could, he would buy as many of them as possible but in your opinion he already had them a lot , because as many as three.

However, you didn’t mind that he has them because when you see your boyfriend happy then you are too.

When you both had the time you were going for aimless evening rides around the city. You derived a lot of pleasure from it because you enjoyed spending time with him that way because you were just the two of you, you were talking about everything or you were just singing yours favorite songs from your shared playlist and at times you just sat in silence and enjoyed a quiet moment together.

However, you were complaining sometimes because you think he is driving too fast and you are worrying about him that he can get mandate or worse, cause an accident.

Lately Heeseung has gone to the other end of city just to buy a new car. When you saw this car for the first time you were happily surprised. It was low, black Porche.

You think that heeseung remembered that you once told him that you wanted him to have a black car and he decided to choose those for you. You could only imagine that it was expensive as hell.

ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ *ੈ✩.

One evening you had a day off from work together and it happens rarely because both of you are very busy and you come home late.

You lie together cuddled up on the couch and you watch some movie. It’s almost midnight but suddenly you get an idea

,,baby” you say quietly because you’re not sure if he’s asleep and you see that he looks at you. Heeseung gently touches your back, raised an eyebrow and calmly say ,,Yes honey, what happened?”

You look at him and you think that he is so cute when he looks so calmly and you answer ,, I have an idea. What do you think about taking a ride around city in your new car?”

You wait for his answer and you see that his eyes shone at your idea and he smiles softly ,,it sounds perfect, let’s go babe”

He takes your hand and you get out of bed.

Heeseung is very keen for it. Without wasting time you put on his hoodie and your shoes. When you are ready, you leave home. You hold hand and you enter the underground garage.

He opens car and opens the door for you and you go inside. You smile and even if it’s the most normal and obvious gesture it gives you butterflies in your stomach when he opens the car door for you.

He drives out of the parking and you look out of the window. ,,it’s been so long since we went somewhere together in the night”

Heeseung says and you look at him when he drives and you answer ,, it’s true, I missed it”

He drives in the center of the city and the lights are on everywhere. There is such a nice vibe and atmosphere. You and heeseung don’t talk anything and you can only hear quiet music from the radio.

Heeseung holds his hand on your thigh. He always does it when you go somewhere or do anything. He needs to keep hands on you. This has been his habit since the beginning of your relationship.

You look at his face which is focused on the road. You think that he looks so hot and sexy. You always think so when he drives car. You look at his although messy but perfectly cut hair, brown eyes from which the light from outside is now reflected and slightly parted lips.

He wears black undershirt through which you can perfectly see his arm muscles. And Goddamn just by the way you look at him you are already wet and horny as hell. When you stare at him like that you aren’t at all focused on what he says.

He stops at a red light and looks at you with sweet and teasing smile because he saw that you stare at him ,, are you seeing something you like?”

You blush a little when he caught you starting at him and you nod. You noticed that he starts to flirt and tease with you. And God you love it so much. He has been doing it since forever and you find it so attractive and you love it most when he talks a lot during sex.

You can see that he smirked and raises his eyebrow. He exactly knows what you want but he will tease with you ,,hmm, what did you see? Maybe you will tell me, princess?”

You feel him touching you higher and higher on your thigh. You really like it and you start squirming in your seat. The lights turn green and he moves on. He doesn’t stop touching you. You feel him putting his hand slowly under your sweatpants.

You moaned quietly and you squirm in your seat. He says in a teasing tone ,, You are such an impatient slut”

Heeseung doesn’t look at you at all and he is only focused on road. It seems as if it doesn’t bother him at all but you know know it’s different. And it makes you even more horny.

He runs two fingers slowly and gently over your clit and he feels that you’re so wet ,,you’re already so wet and I barely touched you”

His deep, seductive voice and dirty talks makes you desperate and you need more. You beg him ,,Hee.. please do something”

Heeseung holds the steering wheel with one hand and the other one he gently and teasingly massages your pussy through your panties.

His smirk widens when he hears your desperate voice ,, such a needy little whore for me” he says ,,well, you’ll get what you need”

Then Heeseung puts two fingers in your panties and massages your clit slowly with two fingers from top to bottom. In between, he tells you to take off your pants and you do so. You spread your legs so that he has greater access to your core. You close your eyes as you feel him speed up massaging your clit and your face contorts with pleasure.

Heeseung looks at you when he drives and he feels that he’s hard. He could cum in his pants just by looking at you. He thinks you are so hot and pretty when you break down for him from pleasure. (but he always thinks that you’re pretty and hot ^^)

You breathe hard and moan loud as you cling to the backrest next to the car door.

You feel him inserting two fingers into your cunt. You moan ,,mmmm, fuckkk, it’s so good”

his fingers are so long that it hits every spots and it stretches you so perfectly.

,,your pussy takes my fingers so deep and tight. Will you take on even more, like the desperate whore you are??”

You moan loudly when he speeds up to fuck you with his three fingers ,, fuck…!! Please!! This is soo…. fucking good”

You are making more and more nasty and pornographic sounds by the second. You feel that the knot in your stomach is going to burst and you breath loudly and practically scream ,,Hee…!!! Oh my god!!!! I can’tttt!!!”

Heeseung turns somewhere and he still fingers you with three fingers so hard and fast. He rubs your clit with his thumb and then he practically gives you the command that you have to do ,,cum on my fingers baby”.

You experience your orgasm very intensely. You lean your head against the seat and close your eyes and moan his name loudly. You squirt on his hand and on the seat. His hand is all in your juices.

You watch him and he licks his fingers which are all in your squirts and cum. You catch your breath. You’re tired but when you see that he licks his finger in this way. You want more.

Heeseung parks in some abandoned, dark parking next to the forest. You look at him with slight embarrassment but then he explains ,, I need to fuck you so bad, baby”.

At his words you feel that your pussy is wet again. He tilts his seat back and darkens the windows in the car. You watch him and you’re not sure what you should do. suddenly in a calm but slightly teasing tone he explains ,,come on babe, sit on my lap like good girl”

You sit on his lap and you immediately feel his bulge beneath you. You begin to kiss each other passionately and tenderly. During the kiss you start riding his clothed cock and he starts moaning in the kiss. You pull away from each other slightly although he still keeps his hands on your waist and you on his shoulders.

You help him pull down his pants and boxers and heeseung teasing ,,will you ride my dick, little slut?”

You put your hands in his hair and slowly you start going down on his cock. You contort your face, but it's both out of mild pain and out of pleasure because everytime you have sex with him you have to get used to his length because he's so big and even if he fingered you before, you still need a moment to take him all the way in.

Heeseung holds his hands on your hips and rests his head on the seat. He can feel your walls tightly clench his cock and he feels too good. You take him all in and he praises you tenderly ,, you are doing it so well baby, took all my dick” You hold your hands on his shoulders and start moving your hips up and down his cock.

Heeseung moans and his face contorts with satisfaction. You are so wet and tight around him and he thinks that he won’t last long.

When he sees that you are starting to get tired and your legs start to shake, he wants to take control ,,calm down princess, let me take care of you”

He puts his hands on your hips and thrusts his cock deep into your pussy. From the feeling you moan loudly and pull him by the hair ,, hee…!!!! Oh fuckkk..””

His length thrusts into you quickly and the tip hits your uterine neck. You practically cry out in pleasure and lay your head on his neck. In the car, you can only hear the wet and lewd sounds of it as his cock thrusts into your wet pussy ,, oh my….. fucking God, pleaseeee, faster…..”

You moan into his neck and he, at your request, begins to pound into you even deeper if it’s possible ,, yes baby that’s it, fuck!!!! Take it all like a little slut!” He says practically groaning.

He lays his hands on your buttocks. You feel that you will cum for the second time this evening and even more intense ,, fuckkkk baby!!!! I’m goin-… to cu….!!!! Please fill me!!”

Heeseung is also close and when he hears your moans and request he smirks. A few more times he thrusts hard into you until he spills his cum in your pussy.

You come at the same time and your cums merge. You lay your head on his shoulder. Heeseung continues to keep his cock deeply buried in your pussy. you often do this after sex because it is very intimate and you feel close to each other then.

Underneath you is quite a mess from the cum and tomorrow when there are traces left on the seats he will surely complain about it.

You catch your breaths as Heeseung gently touches your back and leaves kisses on your neck. After a brief moment of silence, heeseung speaks up,, I guess we should do it more often in the car”

You look at him with a smile and gently touch his cheek and answer with a teasing voice

,,Yes, and the best part is that we have three more cars to try out’’

Vampire!Jinx x fem!Reader

took me a while to write it (i do everything out of inspiration) Warnings: blood drinking(duh), not a romanticized image of vampire's bite, crazy reader (?), smut

“It will be fine. Even if you won’t be able to control yourself – although I doubt that will happen – I’ll stop you.” You reassured, attempting to persuade Jinx to feed on your blood, despite her stubborn refusal.

You understood her reluctance to accept your offer. She was concerned about causing you harm, afraid she won’t be able to stop. But you had your reasons to keep pursuing her. Each time she snuck into Piltover at night to feed, you were consumed with worry. It would be much safer and more convenient if she just drank from you.

“Please… let me do this for you.” You asked almost pleadingly, gently stroking her lower back as she sat in your lap.

Jinx’s resolve was crumbling. How could she deny you when you were like this, so willing, so trusting, offering yourself to her? Her eyes flickered back to your exposed skin, a sight made her throat burn with need.

“Damn, toots… why are you so...” Jinx grunts nuzzling into your neck. She could hear the steady thump of your pulse, the scent of your blood filling her nostrils.

“… convincing?”

“… yeah.” She mumbles, a little annoyed by the fact that she wasn’t able to resist your gentle persuasion. It seemed to happen every single time.

Slightly pulling back, she looked at your neck again. Her tongue unconsciously darted out to wet her lips. A small, involuntary gesture that betrayed her hunger. She still hesitated so instead of biting right away she started placing chaste kisses there.

Your expression softened even more and you closed eyes, enjoying small ministrations. “It’s okay. Do it.” You whispered, pulling her closer to show your willingness.

Jinx lets out a sharky exhale, muttering about trying to be gentle, and takes one final breath before sinking her fangs into your flesh. Her eyes flutter shut as she draws the first swallow of your blood into her mouth. The taste was intoxicating, warm and sweet and utterly perfect.

You knew it would be painful, yet still weren’t able to stop sharp hiss leaving your mouth. The bite was unlike anything written about in vampire novels. It was draining and hurting and with each passing second you felt weaker from blood loss.

And yet it didn’t matter. It was a small price to pay for Jinx’s wellbeing. And besides… maybe physically it was indeed unpleasant but mentally? It felt euphoric, knowing she savored the taste of your blood, that it mixed with her own and literally prolonged her life… it was probably crazy yet you couldn’t help but feel happy about whole thing.

Jinx’s hold on you becomes tight and possessive as she presses her body closer against yours, seeking more of you. She could feel the effects of your blood coursing through her veins, filling her with strength and clarity she hadn’t felt for days. The pain in her stomach subsided, replaced with a warm, almost dizzying feeling of satisfaction and a growing need for more of you, more of your taste, more of everything. Her mind buzzed with a strange, primal sort of satisfaction. She was feeding, and it was all because you let her, because you wanted her to.

Eventually, Jinx's need for more subsides, leaving her feeling lightheaded and strangely content. She slowly withdraws her fangs from your neck and retracts them, her breath fanning over your skin, the sound more like a soft whimper than anything else.

She pulls back just far enough to meet your gaze, her eyes still slightly hazy from the feeding, her chest rising and falling in ragged breaths. She looked almost drunk, her cheeks flushed red, her lips stained with your blood.

“There you go.” You give her weak fond smile bringing hand up to wipe the blood and let her lick it from your thumb. “Feeling better?”

“U-uhu.” She swallows hard and nods, looking back at the bite and worrying she might’ve been too rough, that you’ve been in more pain from her feeding than you’d let on. “Hurts much..?”

“No, I'm fine. Just feeling a bit dizzy.” You replied honestly, not daring to lie to her. She hated lies.

“You should lie down.” She whispers, before gently moving shifting her weight off you and helping you slowly lower yourself onto the bed. She then settles beside you, resting her head on your shoulder and lifting one leg over your hip.

Both of you fell into a comfortable silence, savoring each other's company and cozy embrace.

You don’t know how long you’ve been lying with her like this but you were already starting to feel at ease when she began nuzzling and kissing your neck once more. Only that she was much less hesitant this time.

“Jinx?” you inquire with a playful smile as she delicately traces her fingertips along your abdomen, making you feel a tingle spread through your lower belly.

She doesn’t respond immediately, her lips teasingly nibbling at your earlobe, while her hand explores further, dipping lower and cupping between your legs. She maintains the gentle pressure for few moments enjoying your subtle involuntary grinding.

“Wanna taste you a little more.” Jinx smirks slyly, her fingers deftly hooking into the waistband of your shorts and panties. With deliberate slowness, she drags them both down your legs, tossing them aside. Then she moves downwards, opening your thighs wider and eventually finding herself nestled between them.

“And besides… wanna do something in return for ya.” With that she starts kissing and biting your thighs from top to bottom, leaving marks as she loved to do. Her hands grip your hips firmly, keeping you anchored, as she took her time to get you worked up.

When Jinx finally reached her destination, she dragged her tongue over your slick folds in slow teasing manner, making you gasp and tremble. She pauses briefly to lick her lips at the sight and taste of your arousal, a low hum of pleasure escaping her. “Even sweeter than your blood, toots…” She returns to her oral ministrations, alternating between gentle lapping and firmer sucks, making sure to tease your clit just enough to send sparks through your body without bringing you to orgasm too quickly.

With every delicate flick of her tongue, every suckle that drew out your juices, your breathing grew more ragged, grip on the sheets intensifying. Her strong hands kept you from bucking your hips and grinding against her mouth, granting her complete control over your pleasure.

The vibrations of your needy whimpers and gasps only urge Jinx on, driving her to take more liberties with her tongue. She plunges it deeper inside you, relishing in the wetness coating her chin and throat as she laps up your essence greedily. One hand releases its hold on your hip to dip between your folds, finding your throbbing clit and rolling it between her thumb and index finger in tandem with her oral attentions.

“J-Jinx...!” You gasp out, throwing head back onto the pillow. The pressure built mercilessly inside you, threatening to erupt at any moment.

As moans turned into mindless cries of ecstasy, each one punctuated by a twitch of your back or a surge of hips seeking more stimulation, Jinx redoubles her efforts to push you closer to the edge, quickening the pace of her fingers on your swollen clit and matching the increased fervor of deep thrusts. She devours you with single-minded determination, desperate to make you come undone.

Your entire frame tensed, muscles straining against the sheets as your spine bowed sharply off the bed. Your hips jerked erratically, seeking more friction as the first powerful waves of orgasm wracked your body. You channel pulsed fiercely around her tongue, bathing it in copious amounts of your essence. 

Through hazed vision, you registered Jinx still lavishing worship upon your sensitized pussy as aftershocks continued to rattle you with delicious intensity, leaving you helpless and utterly consumed by blissful surrender.

[kiyo-cant-write]

hello!! good morning, afternoon or night, idk. Could I request Diasomnia (or just Silver and Malleus if it's too much characters) with a Snow White like reader? I recently re-watched Snow White and it kinda got me thinking about how they would interact with a reader that acts similarly to Snow White (very kind, caring, motherly and a tad bit naive). Thank you either way and have a good day!

Malleus Draconia

Malleus and [Name] share a certain innocence about the world.

They both fall victim to Lilia's pranks often.

Malleus is fond of them from the get-go because they seem more worried about him than afraid of him at the joint event.

This is where their friendship began.

Malleus thinks that [Name] is a unique person.

He wants to protect the person who seems so soft and caring.

Malleus doesn't understand how [Name] is so soft to others.

Everyone seems to like them. Can they teach him how to do that?

"How do you do it, [Name]?" Malleus asked them one evening as they walked around the school at twilight.

It was cold and [Name] was wrapped in a blanket from their dorm to keep out the cold. Still, they were walking. These walks were something they looked forward to even if it disrupted their (already questionable) circadian rhythm at times.

"Do what, Malleus?" they returned his question with another question, unsure what the draconic fae meant this time.

They didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Did they? Were they doing something so special without even being aware of it? They looked at him with wide curious eyes, urging him to elaborate.

"You are someone that everyone likes," Malleus told them plainly.

Name paused. Was that true? They thought about their relationship with the other students at Night Raven. Maybe they did have a lot of friends. Was that upsetting Malleus? He was rather... a solo rider.

"I suppose so... But it's not something I'm trying to do, so..."

They trailed off and Malleus placed a hand on their shoulder.

"I am not mad at you, Child of Man," he continued, "It is just something that I have noticed as we have known each other."

They nodded slowly, trying to understand what he was saying,

"Does it make you worry?" they asked, looking at him and taking a small step closer, "I don't want to cause you distress, Malleus..."

His brows furrowed slightly as he stared down at the small human he had become friends with. Was he worried? It seemed more than that.

"It's not just a worry," he continued, "Perhaps it is also... admiration."

They stopped before they could even begin their next sentence. Was Malleus complimenting them in earnest?

"Oh?" they managed to say.

He smiled, eyes gleaming.

"I do admire you deeply, [Name]," he told them, "For... For being all I cannot be."

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Lilia Vanrouge

Lilia starts off viewing [Name] as a child.

They remind him of Silver and he is much older than the other students, so it's only natural that he's a bit apprehensive.

They seem naive and that worries him, but it's also fun to use.

A few pranks have [Name] scrambling to get Sebek's help.

Still, Lilia cares about them, mostly from afar.

He would not be the one to confess first because he knows he will depart soon enough but he is always sweet to [Name].

The joke about [Name] being a second parent to Silver does not go unused. Silver did not appreciate that one but laughed in the end.

"My dear," Lilia began his statement in earnest, giving an almost evil grin as he came closer, however, to the person he had claimed as his lover only days ago, "May I ask you something~?"

"Lilia?" they asked, startling slightly when he hugged them but relaxing into it all the same, "What is it?"

They were used to him being a bit strange but part of him seemed... very serious and they were not sure what to make of it. [Name] was new to this whole "dating" situation. Sure, they had read about it. But this was different. This was real. Wasn't it?

This was new for them, in more ways than one, he was Lilia-senpai.

"[Name], how do you feel about being a mother?" he asked.

They paused. What was he asking them? Why? Now? Why would they be a mother? Children? They were still in school and, and, and...

Their thoughts raced a bit at the question but calmed as soon as they heard the giggly laugh that suggested he was messing with them somehow.

"You must not fret so," he told them, patting their head affectionately.

"But you asked if I was going to be a mom?" they asked him.

"Not of new life, not yet," he told them, that was a plan for some other day at some other time, "I meant to my son who is almost grown."

Son... who is almost... SILVER?

Their jaw dropped at the realization.

"You want me to help with Silver?"

[Name]'s eyes were wide. Silver wasn't too far from their age.

"Yes!" Lilia chirped an answer.

"Well..."

What were they supposed to say to this? They weren't the type to decline their lover's request and they did care for Silver. They could see how he would need another parent to balance the chaos of Lilia now. But, them? It was a lot to take in.

"I will let you think about it, but as my lover, it does make you a parent to him in some sense of the word, perhaps an unconventional one, though," he explained to them.

They nodded.

"Father, please do not harass [Name]!" Silver spoke up from across the room, looking at [Name] a moment later, "You do not need to be my mother if you do not wish to be."

Ah, [Name] had forgotten. They were in the Diasomnia Commons. Silver and Sebek were here. There was an audience.

"Hmm..." they hummed, trying to think it over.

"But isn't Silver still so cute?" Lilia cooed.

"Father-" Silver attempted to cut in but [Name] spoke too soon.

"I suppose I wouldn't mind helping with your son, Lilia."

"Yay~"

At least Lilia was happy. Silver might need to vent to someone later.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Silver

Silver does not realize he has befriended [Name] until they have been friends for several weeks. He does not have the heart to back out after this and only grows closer to them from this point on.

He grows to like their optimistic attitude.

They share a bit of naivety in the world and others sense this.

Silver confesses first as he believes this is the "correct" way to do it based on the books (manga) that Lilia offered him as advice.

They decide to be a couple fairly easily and it's a first for them both. Silver has never had a relationship outside of his work as a guard and being Lilia's adoptive son.

Silver and [Name] don't realize they are in love until everyone else is already painfully aware of their feelings for each other.

Lilia likes to mess with both Silver and his lover.

Silver and his lover often become victims of these pranks.

[Name] and Silver are too forgiving in these instances.

Sebek sometimes yells at them about it.

"Is this cheese?" [Name] asked Silver, trying to get the substance out of her hair and failing, "Cheese from the ceiling?"

Their expression was one of confusion as they looked between their hair and the white-haired boy who was also trying to get the sticky orange substance off of his dorm uniform's horned hat. He didn't seem pleased but was far less surprised than they were.

"Yes, I think so," he told them.

They paused, thinking about it more deeply.

"....Why?"

"Well..." Silver trailed off for a moment, trying to think of a way to answer her without incriminating someone, "It was a practical joke."

"A joke? Cheese from the ceiling was a joke?" she asked, confused but not angry, trying to find the hilarity in the event, "What does it mean?"

"I don't think it has a meaning, this is just how my- How Lilia-senpai shows his affection for me, for you, for ... us, I suppose?"

"Oh..." they said before their eyes widened, "Oh!"

"Yes..." he managed to respond, hesitant.

He felt a bit bad Lilia had done something that startled them.

"Does that mean Lilia-senpai thinks of us as... a pair?"

"Maybe?" Silver responded.

It seemed likely enough that Silver and [Name] were seen as a pair by his father. He was prone to assigning roles to people in Silver's experience. It didn't warrant cheese but, oh well. They really do sell everything at the School Store, he noted.

That was probably where his father had gotten this... whatever it was.

"We are best friends, right Silver?" [Name] asked, pulling him from his thoughts at what other oddities the store might be selling.

"Yes, but..."

He wanted to say it. He had thought it over for a week, been yelled at by Sebek, been told to "court properly" by Prince Malleus... He had to do it. He was a knight. What scared him so much about this?

Silver let out a soft breathy sigh.

"But?" [Name] asked, repeating what he had half-said.

He had to do this. He wanted to do this. Silver was determined.

"I have been meaning to ask you something, [Name]," he told them.

"What is it...?" [Name] asked, surprised for the second time that day.

Copying what he had read in the books Lilia offered him, he took their hands in his and looked at them with a sparkle in his eyes they had not seen until this very moment. He was serious.

"[Name]," he spoke once more.

They blinked at him. What was he trying to say?

"Yes....?" they replied.

"Would you do me the... honor of..." Silver paused for a second or two before he continued, "Being mine? I am in love with you so ardently I might... You're lovely."

The line was a jumble of the things he had read. Would that suffice? Would it be a proper request to them? He knew it had to be done respectfully or else he would bring shame to his father and master alike. Silver would never want to do that, he was loyal to the fae despite his very humanity.

His eyes gazed into theirs, not wanting to look away and miss their answer. Silver watched as they processed his words, face flushing slightly as soon as they understood what he meant with that flowery question. They struggled for words.

"You. Me..." they paused, "Yes!"

He expected a bit more hesitation but they seemed enthusiastic about it as they jumped into his arms and wrapped theirs around his neck, hugging him tightly. They both ignored the strings of sprayable cheese that was still covering them both and the laundry that would need to be done shortly after.

"I am glad you accept my feelings," he managed to say.

[Name] nodded into his shoulder.

"This is all like a dream.." they said softly to him.

If this was a dream, Silver noted, it was a sweet one.

Sebek Zigvolt

Sebek is annoyed by [Name] for the first while they know each other but it is mostly because their "kind" personality causes them to approach him and they are a HUMAN.

They grow on him only because he just keeps running into them?

Is the universe trying to get them together? (yes)

Through repeated exposure, they begin a kind of friendship

[Name] listens intently when Sebek speaks about Malleus.

This aids in the development of their friendship.

Sebek does not know how to confess.

There is some internal conflict for this guard about his feelings.

[Name] remains blissfully unaware of his struggles.

Sebek means well he was just raised by a very human-phobic grandpa who he idolizes. We're all aware it's a problem.

"Sebek!" [Name] finally said a bit louder than the original attempt at getting his attention, "Are you okay?"

The knight was startled to attention and instantly straightened his posture before taking a fighting stance as though they were in danger. To that, [Name] was not sure what to say.

"Ah, it's you," he said, albeit quieter than usual, "I'm fine."

They narrowed their eyes at him briefly but didn't say anything. [Name] trusted him at their core, so they believed his words.

"If you say so," they shrugged, "So, are we going into town?"

Sebek turned to see [Name] sparkling at him with the sweetest smile on their lips. They were excited about this trip, weren't they? How could he have let himself get distracted from a task that Lilia gave him? Lilia told him to accompany this human, his friend, into town as a guard. Something about magic-less people not being safe alone.

He was in no position to question Lilia.

"We are!" he said, volume returning with force, "OFF WE GO!"

[Name] just giggled as they followed after him, blissfully unaware of the reason for his awkward posture and strange fluctuation in volume (even more than usual). They simply assumed it was Sebek being himself. He always was a bit strange and they adored him for it, seeing the passion in his eyes even when he was being a bit... much.

As kind and caring as they were, there was a certain naivety about [Name]. Falling in love was foreign to them. Perhaps that was why they did not notice the tell-tale signs that Lilia would have pointed out to them if he didn't like seeing Sebek squirm so much.

Sebek was in love with [Name].

But how did he tell someone that he cared for them? That he appreciated their mothering side and the fact that they listened to him. He thought about them! He wanted to please them! And... He dreamed of what their life could be like after they graduated. That one was embarrassing.

He glanced over toward them for a moment.

There they were, blissfully unaware of the anxiety within him at the thought that his feelings could change the friendship they had.

"This will be a fun day," Sebek told [Name], "You have my word."

"As a knight?"

"Yes... As a knight."

"Yay!!"

Their smile was all that mattered to him. He could wait just a bit longer to tell them the truth. All in good time... He could do it.

Lilia might have other plans though...

SERIOUSLY.

There's more legitimate substance in Boo-Berry's sugar Styrofoam than in most of these obvious spambots. At least the marshmallows are good in cocoa.

The "I was inspired by your work!" bots on DeviantArt and Fanfiction.net are getting pretty insufferable, but at least they're not using real tragedies for their scams.

I'm certainly not saying you shouldn't trust anyone. I live in a city with a homelessness crisis, and I frequently buy food or drinks for people if they want it. (I ask them first if I can get them anything to eat or drink.) But it's a lot easier to judge a conversation in person than on the Internet. (And to be honest, if the people asking for help at traffic lights talked as similarly to each other as these online inbox PMs do, it would be like something out of the Twilight Zone.)

There are so many legitimate charities and fundraisers helping Palestinians. Why are some people on this site so obsessed with toting the sketchy ones?

Is it because they think Hamas and its allies like ISIS and the Iranian government actually care about the Palestinians, and aren't hurting anyone who matters? Are they unaware of the Yazidi, Druze, Kurds, Zoroastrians, Baha'i, and other indigenous groups being genocided and subjugated by ISIS, Hamas, the Taliban, etc.?

Or are they just terminally on Tumblr, and automatically jump onto any supposed cause they see when scrolling without doing real research?

i wish there was like . a rule book on how to interact with people

[melmedarda]

In defense of Sevika.

I happened upon a post not too long ago saying that Sevika was not cool as a character, she was overrated. The person asked what was so great about her. And in the comments only said she was hot. Buff. Tall and dark-skinned. Surface stuff. And it irritated me to no end that Arcane fans are so shallow as to reduce Sevika to how attractive they find her. It makes sense when you look at her tag.

There's never anything of substance, only x reader fics, and thinly veiled fetishization. No character study, hardly any analysis of her role in the story of Arcane. The story of Zaun. It's a trend I'm seeing, characters being reduced to an object of desire and fetishized in the tags. (It's okay to find a character attractive, but when the only thing you can say to someone is that the character is hot when asked why you like them??? :/) But that's not what I'm here to talk about.

In defense of Sevika, she is more than her looks. She is strength, she is struggle, she is visionary. Yes, she is attractive but there's so much more to her. Think of her loyalty and love for Zaun. It is UNPARALLELED. Her dedication to the city that raised her defines her.

Sevika is multifaceted and literally THE driving force in Zaun. She makes things happen. Sevika is an echo of Mel, in that she is Zaun's kingmaker. She made Silco, and unmade Vander. She is objective, and she is capable of seeing what needs to be done, and the potential in a person for getting it done.

Sevika's loyalty is to her city, and if she believes in you, she will give you her influence. Her Might. Just like Mel believed in Jayce and granted him the funding and power needed to fulfill his vision, is that same person in Zaun. Only, her currency is fear, respect, blood on her fist. Her ability to rally those around her and inspire them.

At most Silco simply uses her as his enforcer, and I really believe Sevika is capable of more than just being a follower and catering the every need of other characters. She has a tendency to protect the things she cares about with her body because that's all she has. She jumped before Silco, to protect him from the blast. She protected Jinx and Isha with her body without a second thought. She is selfless if she believes in someone, their use for the cause of Zaun. Season 1 really had her in a box, and season 2 seemed to give her more agency, until she was used as a prop for Jinx. That irks me to no end. More than anything, she wants a united Zaun, and I believe the show ending on with Sevika on the Council was a disservice to her arc, but she's front as center, fighting for her city as she was always meant to be.

Please, appreciate her more. She has a story worth thinking about, she is a character worth understanding.

Superbat fic ideas

clark is the reluctant one and bruce wants to move fast, they've been working together for however long and bruce realizes he's been in love with clark and wants to dive head first into an official relationship, clark doesn't want to ruin the friendship or get in the way of superhero business or affect the kids and his relationship with them yada yada

Batfam assumes clark and bruce are together and married (dick makes this assumption, calls clark uncle clark and bruce and clark never correct him or think anything of it) shenanigans/misunderstandings ensue

superbat quiet uptown inspired, “if i could spare his life, if i could trade his life for mine, he'd be standing here right now and you would smile and that would be enough” clark feeling guilty about being off world when jay dies/bruce projecting blame onto clark since he feels guilty for jason dying (canon-divergent? idk what clarks involvement or where his was during jays death is)

COWBOY CLARK KENT or farmer or ranch hand or whatever they do in Kansas but Clark needs to be in the getup. No capes au? If ANYTHING Clark at least needs a pretty belt buckle so Bruce can lick it and grind on it. trans bruce bc duh

last five years au (can you tell i really like musicals?)

the kents fucking hate bruce? he's trying his hardest to appeal to them but he doesn't have a lot of practice with impressing partners parents (Ra's was impressed with him being an excellent fighter and socialites are impressed by his money and looks) he especially doesn't have experience impressing people as bruce. but they straight up Hate him and think clark should break up with him (they dont say it outright) and i think clark should notice and be upset with his parents about it. i want premium honest to god angst about the kents not liking bruce for whatever reasons and it putting a strain their relationship with clark and causes bruce to be more distant with clark to make his parents happy and in his mind fix their relationship. happy ending ig with the kents and bruce coming to an understanding but mayhaps bruce still feels like they're only being nice for clarks sake

[maive-the-sheep]

So this just reminds me how I'm poly and am happy when my other partners are talking about with positivity other partners of theirs without any jealousy from me. But how both is so different then what I think most people view those things.

I view the partners as the benefits they give me, the emotional help, the strengths in intelligence, the happiness i get when they work against their shame, the inspiring eachother to work towards goals. And cause they are helping, why shouldn't i be motivated not to help more in the ways i can? I of course allow for times where getting nothing cause life can be rocky at times, growth can be rocky.

So many neurotypicals view bad of aspd transactionality of relationships...but isn't everyone for anything where it isn't parent child (if i was a parent I would be obligated to listen to my child, to be their for them, to not judge, to help. And never expect anything in return. They are not obligated to give me anything in return, no love, no calls, nothing. And there are reasons I would still choose to do that)

Because say you had a partner and you paid the rent, food, helped out emotionally, helped out with other issues as well, did all the cleaning, everything. And after a few months of dating they stopped anything beneficial towards you. Just saying hi or such. Or a hallow love you. How long would your feelings of love stay while you are giving your all? Would it really be love if you stayed or more like an obligation where you hope things turn around?

But because of the closeness and benefit, I do kinda treat them like mine. Like how the corpse god from the reverse isekai "dead mount death play" treats human life with the quote "Human life...is somebody's toy, when all's said and done. But...I like toys...because they make children smile. So I've decided to treat then as precious things. And I'll never give them over...to some absurd fate."

My actions towards my partners is that of very caring, considerate, respectful, helpful. Even if my internal views are very different.

And why would I be happy them talking about happiness of spending time with other partners?

Pride in my possessions accomplishments, their progress, their benefit. Like building a town and seeing it start prospering.

Mine but nowhere near exclusive to me.

But just like that town, I will protect and help. And I will value deeply in my own way.

Many with aspd lack shame and guilt, but that doesn't mean there aren't other problems. And I've noticed concerning trends

Many with aspd have symptoms worse with early childhood and neglect, like adhd, hence multiple psychologists wondering if it's a neurodevelopmental disorder, especially cause the multiple genetic things with it...which is why so many only give positivity if "caused by trauma"

Even the dsm 5 in it's frail incomplete aknowledges high self harm rates, high suicide attempts, struggle keeping jobs. That's why if you search help for how to be supportive of a partner with aspd all you will get is "leave" "they are evil manipulators" "they must be cheating" "how to call for help if they are abusive"

Many with aspd will mask, feeling lonely while surrounded by people. Where they suffer cause can't even be open of existence.

Many will push that the only thing you can do as someone with aspd is harmful actions cause evil existence. Some even with aspd have gotten so worn out by this mentality that they believe it

.

.

.

So...I'm here to go against thise trends. Because I'm better then them.

You aren't evil or unworthy of help if you were like this well before any trauma.

Boredom is very painful, to the point of destructive urges happen including to self. You deserve coping strategies for boredom. To make it less painful, less strong, less often, more knowledge when getting too bored.

You deserve to be open of lacking guilt, shame, empathy and not denied things or prevented or excluded cause of that.

You deserve the people around you to be supportive of struggles.

You don't have to do evil actions cause any existence. Long term prisoners dilemma shows that it is in selfish interest to be helpful/kind, forgiving, but not a pushover. And it can feel powerful to help when someone wouldn't have gotten help without you. You don't need guilt or shame or empathy to improve and infact many with those emotions never improve cause they think their existence is good cause of it.

It doesn't detract to do good overall for selfish reasons or feeling powerful

And the world will improve over time. I will make that happen.

Human!Optimus Prime

Let’s start this series off with our goat Optimus!

As someone who only recently got into transformers and wants to contribute to the fanart but is too lazy to actually learn how to draw robots/mechs, I’ve decided to come up with human designs for some of the transformers! (Mainly the ones from Transformers Prime, cause that’s like the only show I’ve watched so far 💀)

Ramblings about design under cut vvv

This is the first one I made in the series which I started back in 2023 lmao, so there may be some discrepancies between each design. I only recently came back to it and tweaked his design a bit, but alas, I suck ass at drawing buff people(especially men) so bear with me 😔

I was inspired by cosplayer @/arkhamknight_22.0 on tiktok, so if you see similarities that’s why!!

It was hard to find a balance in casual/comfy and battle-ready for this Optimus cause I wasn’t quite sure what he’d go for in the scenario of TFP. So I went with something that can be seen as both casual and tactical/convenient for fights. Think Jack Reacher.

Something I’m trying to explore with their human designs is the wounds of war; there’s going to be scars and such. So underneath his clothes Optimus wears a sort of battle suit, think similar to the Ironman suit from Infinity War I guess, but also almost a prosthetic at this point. Idk I’m not smart enough for that stuff, I just make it look good 🤷‍♂️

Though I do imagine it’s something he can take off, but with all the fighting he feels better to just leave it on most days.

I tried to convey the tough leader who’s willing to do anything for his people but he has a sort of softness to him if that makes sense. So when he has to take the exo-suit thingy off for repairs or whatever reason, if a certain autobot takes to painting some of the panels on it to make him look less intimidating to other bots…then he doesn’t bother scrubbing it off.

Okay, some smaller notes for his design: he wields weapons(axes, swords, etc..) so he has some scars and blisters on his palms. He’s protected the mostly with the gloves but he finds finger covering gloves to lessen his hand mobility so he went with fingerless. (And with built in steel knuckles for that extra punch!!)

I don’t know what his specific age would be but I’m thinking late 50s-mid 60s, but the fight ain’t out of him yet!

Of course there’s the autobot insignia as a belt buckle, I couldn’t really make it work anywhere else at the time of his first design and I got too attached to it to change it 😔 I also gave him(along with the other autobots) those electric blue eyes that they all share in the show! I thought it was cool

I also had to include the iconic red and blue flame decals, and I think it translated well into his leather jacket!

And for those curious here is his old design from two years ago, not much of a difference but there is an improvement

Like wtf is this?????? I 100% drew his face better good lord… barf, but hey! At least I’m better at drawing black people 💪💪💪

The Mistakes That Have Been Made

Part two :)

Warnings!: Angst, angst, and more angst. Reader will be MAD sad for most of this. Poorly-practiced, unhealthy polyamory. Reader will experience a LOT of gender and body dysphoria over the course of this (though I will do my best to keep it gender-neutral throughout, bear with me), but there WILL be comfort over that.

You spent most of the night following the surgery in a light doze, after a certain man named Gary walks you to your room, only slightly entertaining your efforts to walk upright on your own two legs.

Of course, he can't stay, he's got things to do, and he's not your fucking nurse, but he still makes you unlock your phone and watches you set the timer so you take your antibiotics first thing in the morning.

He still leaves to fill up his own water bottle, and sets it by your tiny, shitty nightstand, and he still brings the thing to your lips to make you take a couple sips, even as you try not to drift off right then and there.

When you look up with tired eyes, he offers a small, sympathetic smile, and leans down to gently bump your forehead with his own.

It's... an oddly endearing gesture, considering that's a grown-ass man, but your delirious smile seems to inspire more of that gentle treatment, because when his hands are free again, he's finger-spelling to you once more.

I googled some stuff for the recovery. Should I send you the links to the articles?

You melt, just a little bit, but nod, tiredly resting your heavy head on the pillow beneath it, just really soaking in not feeling like you're dying. Feels great, you've gotta say.

"Yeah. That'd be real sweet of you, luvie. Thanks for all the help."

He beams at you. You hate to admit it, but you smile, too.

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

The day after is slow for you. Seeing as you're one organ down, it feels perfectly fit to work quietly in your own small office space, finding more information for prospective ops down the line.

It's comfortably-paced, much unlike how you'd been before your mistake. Back then, you were frantic, under a deadline you knew wasn't realistic trying to find documents that didn't ever exist.

Your job feels so much better without Price and the team on your ass. They never understand how discovery works, they think it just happens in a way that's frankly, stupid.

And, you're no liar, you'll say that getting periodic texts from your new friend really does brighten your mood.

Roach was a riot. And you forgot how it felt to be with that energy, the spark of new meat that you had felt yourself losing in the team.

He's a good lad, might have to get him a dinner, as-

Your train of thought is (rudely) interrupted by your door opening, without a knock or anything, and an irritated Johnny standing behind it.

"Mind tellin' me why ye werenae runnin' feckin' drills today? Ye said ye'd fuckin' spot me."

You're not surprised that his voice is supremely annoying to you right now. Normally, that Scottish slang is a comforting noise, a reminder of the company you hold, and how they've always had your back.

This time, you kind of want to knock him in the jaw for it.

This anger, it will pass.

Maybe.

"If you've got an issue, go to Price. It's not my job to fill you in on every little detail of my life, and I have a job other than training that I need to be up-to-date with."

The metal of Gary's water bottle makes a quiet noise on the textured plastic of your desk as you raise it to take another sip, effectively silencing Johnny for just a second as you hear him sputter to himself.

"Th' fuck are you- you're not drinking coffee."

Of course that's the thing he notices. He can't notice when you're on death's door begging for help, but he knows how you take a morning beverage.

You really wanna punch him now.

"Detox."

You answer is terse, not quite like you, and he furrows his brows.

"Ye're hidin' somethin', ain't ye? S' it 'cause of the mission? 'Cause that was a stupid call, an' you can't fix stupid."

What a way to make amends, Soap, show up at my door and insult me after a brief interrogation. Charming.

"My god, would it kill you to shut your mouth just once? Is that too big an ask, now?"

Harsh. That was harsh. You know it was, and that it was a mistake, but when you open your mouth to apologize, Johnny beats you to it.

"Fuck you."

The slam of the door makes you cringe, and look back down to your documents, the little notes you've drawn in the margins and the highlighter that's smudged the pen just a little bit.

Before you dwell too long, there's a quiet ping.

A small, stupid looping video pops up when you open the offending chat.

It's a poorly-rendered cockroach, spinning is stupidly whimsical circles and turning colors as a song you don't care to name plays in the background. The text under it is what makes you soften.

medicine checkk in!!! take the medcine if you havent :)

His spelling is amateurish at best.

You're really fucking screwed, with that one, and you know it, but still, you set the phone down, and open a new tab.

British Sign Language basics. You could do that.

Love Guru

Pairing: Hyunjin x Reader

Word count: 1,754

Content warnings:  Fluff, bad dates, conceited self centered men

Summary:  Hyunjin loves being your guardian angel, he always manages to steer you correctly and loves the life that you’ve curated for yourself. But his main goal is to help steer your love life in the right direction as you dodge bad blind date after bad blind date.

A/N: This little series was all inspired due to @jellymochii brainstorming for her GaurdianAngel!Felix fic. Please go read her fic as well it’s a wonderful piece!

“So what do we think of this one?” you ask softly as you stare at yourself in your long mirror that sits in the corner of your bedroom. You’re wearing a pretty maroon colored shift dress that has baggy sleeves that cinch at your wrists, a pretty gold long necklace hangs around your neck and down towards the middle of the front of the dress.

“Ooooh yes! I love this one.” Hyunjin coos at you before he taps your elbow twice which causes you to beam happily to yourself. Ever since Hyunjin had been paired with you as your guardian angel there had been some sort of direct connection between the two of you where you immediately knew that he was there for you and around you, it was almost supernatural the way that you knew he was around. So when you were younger the two of you had come up with a way to talk to each other even though you couldn’t hear or see him, one tap for no, two taps for yes. And it was always on your elbow, your shoulder was too obvious and people tended to touch you on the shoulders more often than not so elbows were always reserved for him. “Wear your black heels too, they'd look really good with the dress and they’ll make your legs look amazing!” Hyunjin says as he watches you walk towards your closet before reappearing holding the heels that he had been talking about. “Same brain cell.” he says teasingly as he watches you put your heels on and check yourself out in the mirror once.

Hyunjin walks over to the mirror and leans against it while crossing his arms over his chest and smiling softly at you. His eyes dart up and down your body with pride before his eyes catch sight of your newest sketches pinned to the large project board above your desk. The board is absolutely littered with sketches of outfit designs that you’ve been working on over the months, as his eyes darted from one sketch to the next he saw the inspiration behind each piece and saw how it all flowed cohesively and he felt pride rise up within him. You were going to fashion design school to become a designer yourself as well as working as an assistant to an up and coming fashion designer, and he couldn’t be happier with your progress both in school and work. You were gaining experience while working in the field as well as studying everything and anything that you possibly could about fashion. He was so proud of you and couldn’t wait to see where you wound up going in the fashion world.

But right now he smiled as his eyes refocused on you styling your hair as you gazed at yourself in the mirror. Tonight was another blind date that your mother had set up for you and you were hopeful but still he could tell just by looking at you that you were hesitant to get fully excited. Tonight was one in a slew of many blind dates that your family has set up for you within the last year and each one was just one disaster after another. None of the men that your family wanted you to marry were good for you and each date left you more discouraged than you wanted to admit.

While you were becoming more and more discouraged with each failed blind date, Hyunjin kept hope within his heart that he’d be able to help you find the right person for you. He knew that your perfect match was out there waiting for you, he was a firm believer that there was someone perfect out there for everyone and while it was taking a little longer for you to find your person he wasn’t giving up hope. If he had managed to find his person back when he was alive and able to have a loving, beautiful relationship with his person he knew that you could find someone just as wonderful for yourself.

“I don’t know, I feel like this is going to be another bust.” you say softly as you frown softly at yourself in the mirror and Hyunjin sighs softly knowing that you were going to try and talk yourself out of this date. He walked over to you until he was standing behind you staring at you in the mirror, he then wrapped his arms around you tightly and let his warmth seep into you causing you to sigh softly and smile softly at his actions. “Thanks, I know I always have you in my corner.” you say softly as you gently pat the air where his hands were gripping your elbows. “Alright let’s get this over with.” you say warily and he nods his head in agreement as he follows you out of your apartment.

*-*-*-*

“Oh, this guy is something else isn’t he?” Hyunjin asked disgustedly as he sat next to you at the table listening to your date prattle on and on about his life and how important he was in his career. He turned to look at you and burst out in shocked laughter at the look of disbelief on your face. Your eyebrows were furrowed over your eyes, your nose was crinkled as if you smelt something disgusting and your lip was pulled up in a sneer as your eyes tracked the man’s overexaggerated movements as he talked. Reaching over Hyunjin tapped your elbow once and you jolted in your seat at his movement before huffing softly as you shook your head schooling your features back to neutral.

Hyunjin watched as you surreptitiously pulled your cell phone out of your purse and quickly pulled up your best friend’s text thread up as you nodded your head at the man as he continued to talk, not even paying attention to you. Resting his elbow on the table before setting his chin in his palm he huffed out loudly at the man as he continued to talk about himself. Just as you’re typing out a text message and are about to send it to your best friend to call you someone walks up to the table catching both your and Hyunjin’s attention while your date just keeps talking. You turn your head to the well dressed man who has approached your table and Hyunjin bristles with protectiveness as he eyes the man as well. 

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s a phone call for you Miss at the front podium.” the man says politely causing both you and Hyunjin to frown with wariness on your faces.

“I don’t know about him.” Hyunjin says softly as he leans towards you, giving you some of his warmth to ease you. But then Hyunjin watches as the man in front of you side-eyes your date and scowls softly at the man without him realizing. “Or maybe, he’s a friend.” Hyunjin says softly as he taps your elbow twice causing you to nod your head before elegantly standing from your chair.

“Oh, thank you. If you would excuse me.” you say to both men before following the man towards the podium. He turns back to you when you’re both out of sight of your date and you cross your arms over your chest protectively while eyeing him shrewdly. “There’s no phone call is there?” you ask him and he ducks his head while bashfully smiling at you and raising his hand to rub at the back of his neck.

“No, I’m sorry. You just looked very uncomfortable with that guy.” the man says softly and you nod your head at his reasoning.

“Well thank you. You’ve saved me from awkwardly ditching my blind date.” you thank him softly and he grins boyishly at you which stuns you slightly. Hyunjin smirks softly at your stunned reaction to the man and feels a pulling in the pit of his stomach, this was your person.

“Yunho.” the man says suddenly and your head whips up to stare at him as he holds his hand out to you. “My name is Jeong Yunho.” he elaborates and you smile brightly up at him while shaking his hand.

“Well thank you very much Yunho. I owe you one.” you greet him while admitting that you’re thankful for his help.

“Have dinner with me.” he says suddenly as you begin to slip into your coat and Hyunjin bursts out into happy laughter as your head snaps up once more.

“A little awkward isn’t he? He’s perfect for you.” Hyunjin says softly as he taps your elbow twice quickly.

“I-I” you begin to stammer and Hyunjin watches delightedly as Yunho steps closer to you crowding you slightly which starts to fluster you.

“Oh I like him.” Hyunjin whispers to you and taps your elbow two times once more.

“You didn’t get to even order your food during your blind date. You must be hungry. Have dinner with me and consider us even.” Yunho suggests easily and you blink up at him in a daze which makes him grin widely at you showing off one dimple on the side of his face. He stands there waiting anxiously for your answer and Hyunjin can practically feel him vibrating with eager excitement, tapping your elbow twice which makes you jolt in your spot.

“Alright, where would you like to go eat?” you ask Yunho sweetly with a soft slightly unsure smile and Yunho practically glows with how happy he is that you agreed. He easily slips his arm through yours which surprises you but he effectively walks you out of the restaurant without a backwards glance while Hyunjin follows the two of you closely.

“There’s this ramen restaurant that I love just two streets over. Do you like ramen?” he asked as he led you out of the restaurant.

“I’m an assistant to a fashion designer and a fashion design student, I live off ramen.” you tell him and he laughs loudly at your words.

“Really, do you want to become a fashion designer as well?” he asked you and Hyunjin smiled brightly as he watched Yunho ask you questions about yourself while peppering in information about himself as well. Yeah, this was your person, he thought as he happily watched the two of you talk about everything and anything as you walked to the restaurant together. He was eager to see how this relationship developed and flourished knowing that it would probably be just as beautiful as his.

Continue Reading for Predictions for 2025

Rat:

Metal: Four of Pentacles, Four of Cups, Nine of Cups. This is the year to save and guard what you have and not spend on every little thing your heart desires. It is a time to sit with yourself and explore some emotions that you may have been hiding or holding back, not doing so will lead you into a sense of overwhelm and make you apathetic towards life. There will be those that leave you and those that help you. The ones that help and stay during your emotional exploration will become your closest allies and help you to ascend. Water: Wheel of Fortune, Seven of Wands, Nine of Pentacles. There will be a lot of ups and downs this year and quite a few times you will have to defend yourself and your beliefs. Rivalries may show itself anywhere, but it only serves to make you learn and get stronger. Throughout the year, embrace all the gifts and blessings that will come to you as you get recognized. Wood: Ace of Pentacles, Eight of Wands, Four of Swords. New circumstances and life changes will cause you to be constantly on the move. This movement will cause a lot of positive changes in your life, but remember to take time to rest. Rest and recharge is essential to perform at your best and keep the mind sharp. Fire: Nine of Cups, Ten of Cups, Ace of Wands. A year of profound happiness and contentment, appreciating the love around you and realizing all the support you truly have. This support will cause a surge in inspiration Earth: Ten of Pentacles, Six of Cups, Three of Swords, Seven of Cups. You may expect gifts from your family, chosen or blood, and these will bring back some painful memories that will require some inner child healing. Bare in mind, inner child is any form of our younger selves, so it may not necessarily be from a time you were a child. You will have moments of heartbreak and depression if you let this linger too long, leading you to searching for a new meaning to life and having to make a lot of decisions.

Ox/Cow:

Metal: The Magician, Four of Swords, Nine of Swords, Six of Wands, Seven of Wands. "You have all you need" should be your mantra this year, because you truly do. Everything you need is within you. You desperately need time to yourself and to retreat inward. There are wounds within that cause great mental stress that needs to be healed. Succeeding in this will allow you to be more prepared against whatever the world throws at you. Water: Page of Pentacles, The Fool, Queen of Cups. Patience and nurturing are the theme of the year. Whether it's to yourself or others, just be patient and kind. You will be starting a completely new journey, whether within or without, and not everyone is on that journey with you. Deep breathes. Love yourself, and love others. Wood: Wheel of Fortune, Strength, The Sun. Fate, inner strength and joy. Three major arcana that can mean practically anything. The Wheel of Fortune could mean karma coming to get you or figuring out your own destiny. Strength is sometimes found in being perceived as weak, as the card of strength is one of showing compassion and forgiveness and having the inner strength to do what's right. The Sun is for finding joy and success in every day life. Unfortunately, I know not what the three all together could mean for you, but I do know that kindness and strength do get rewarded by life. Fire: Three of Swords, Eight of Pentacles, Five of Cups, Two of Swords. A lot of grief and heartbreak this year. Perhaps you're recovering from a break up or one is coming, or maybe it's just a big case of homesickness as you have now lost contact with everyone you every knew and loved. Regardless, it seems to be a sacrifice in order to get the life you dreamed, a career longed for, and making a living doing what you love. You will be making a lot of new decisions and finding that this new life is the compromise made, and the separation is the loss. Earth: White Numen, Five of Pentacles, Black Numen. You have quite the year ahead of you. You will be going through some rather drastic changes that will change your whole perspective of the world, a belief, or society as a whole. Everything you think you know about it, will all be proven wrong. At first you will find this new truth hard to take and will go through a period of despair and much needed rest. You will either have to rise with this new truth and become a trail blazer, or sink with your old beliefs.

Tiger:

Metal: King of Pentacles, Knight of Cups, Eight of Wands, King of Swords, Queen of Pentacles. With wisdom, experience, and hard work, things start to happen quickly and you soon find yourself in a leadership position as you are now seen as someone people can rely and depend on. Water: Strength, The Hierophant, Three of Pentacles. The time has come to forge your own traditions and break away from the family norms and maybe even form a new family, a chosen family either by deep bonds of friendship or a pact of love. This is the year you figure things out together. Wood: Page of Swords, Seven of Wands, Queen of Swords, The Hermit, Ten of Pentacles, King of Wands. Many are curious and even jealous of you, the evil eye is one thing that surrounds you, learn to protect your energy and maintain control of your situation. Being clear of mind and completely honest is key to the survival, as is taking time for yourself and realizing your value. Words said in hate are said out of jealousy. Think of your goals and the big picture, stay strong and you shall overcome. Fire: King of Cups, Six of Cups, The Empress, The Hierophant. Your heart and your mind are at ends with each other, you must maintain emotional control. Nurture yourself, as your inner child needs it. It is time to move forward from your past and start your own traditions. Break the cycle. Earth: Nine of Pentacles, Seven of Cups, Five of Pentacles. Blessings and good fortune are in the cards for you this year. It will be a year where you seem to become different from all the rest. You will go through a grieving stage at some point of people or a lifestyle lost as these blessings make you change from who you use to be to those around you.

Rabbit/Hare:

Metal: Page of Swords, Two of Pentacles. A deep truth will be uncovered this year, one that will put great strain on your psyche. You will have to make a difficult choice while trying to keep yourself together. Water: Two of Swords, Queen of Wands, Six of Cups. With great confidence and self preservation, a decision you made out of compromise will prove beneficial in the long run. It shall bring about healing and even some special reunions. Old friends and familiar faces will bring you joy. Wood: Eight of Wands, Nine of Wands, Five of Cups. This is the year you stand up for yourself. You quickly set up boundaries and enacting change sets a wave of events, particularly ones that make you feel no longer wanted or loved. Stand your ground. It is better to find ones that appreciate and love you for you and respect your boundaries than to tolerate those that constantly break them. Time heals all wounds and gains new friendships. Fire: Queen of Swords, The Hierophant, Knight of Swords. You always tell it like it is, sometimes impulsively. Your words will catch up to you as there is no filter between your thoughts and your words. This will cause some people to abandon you. You tend to be unbothered, but this year you will lose someone you truly cared about and thought was different. Earth: Knight of Pentacles, Seven of Pentacles, Three of Cups, Two of Swords, Seven of Swords, Two of Pentacles. Your hard work is paying off as you receive your much awaited reward from all your success. You have a lot of support around you that celebrate with you as you have a new decision to make for moving forward in life. Someone who was working close to you however does not take the news well and instead abandons their post, which leads you to have to develop a new strategy and learn to multitask more so than you already were. Success comes at a price.

Dragon:

Metal: Four of Wands, The Chariot, The Lovers. When The Lovers and The Chariot come together in a reading, it can indicate that you will succeed in matters of the heart, but only if you remain focused and determined. However, you have a disconnection to your heart and have been having an apathetic approach to life. A need for change in that aspect is required before any success can happen. You are not a robot, you are human, and every emotion is telling you something. Listen to your heart to guide your journey. Water: The Fool, Page of Swords, Four of Swords. Get ready for a new life, one in which you may not know anything or anybody. It will take some time to get used to and requires a lot of mental energy, remember to take time for yourself and relax whenever you can. Wood: King of Wands, Three of Swords, Ace of Pentacles, Black Numen, The Fool. You are recovering from overcoming a lot of challenges. New opportunities to change your life around will present itself, but you may not notice as you feel the world is falling apart around you. You will overcome this though. New opportunities will keep showing, and eventually you will notice and they will lift you out from your dark slump. Fire: The Devil, Ten of Swords, Four of Wands. It is time to break free from something that is harming you and causing great pain. Whatever it is, it has to stop now before it is too late. It is time to start over and return to your family for assistance. They will welcome you with open arms and help you recover. Earth: Ten of Wands, White Numen, Knight of Swords, King of Wands. You have taken on a lot of responsibility and are overwhelmed with stress. A return to the spiritual and divine calls to you as you need a lifestyle change and to take control of your life, making efforts towards the life you truly want. The divine calling to you wants to help, all you have to do is ask.

Snake:

Metal: Ten of Cups, Ten of Pentacles, Ace of Pentacles, Eight of Cups, Page of Swords, Page of Wands, The Hanged Man, Strength. A lot of ends and beginnings surrounds you this year, as well as periods of learning. You will have what you need to survive at your fingertips and be able to comfortably explore all that your heart, mind and spirit wants to explore. In the process you will find a lot of things that are the opposite of what you use to know and you take it well. You transcend beyond your previous limitations and become someone better in the long run. You share this new knowledge with others, but not many will take what you have to say, but it's fine, because you're at peace with just letting them know what you know. Water: Three of Cups, Queen of Cups, Ace of Pentacles, Ace of Swords. You find love and support all around you due to your forgiving and healing nature. As you stumble upon new opportunities that change your life in a positive way, you may find new people approaching you. Your emotions will tell you who is true to you. Listen to it. Wood: The Magician, Eight of Wands, The Hierophant, Nine of Swords, Page of Wands, The Devil. Despite having everything you could possibly need, you are completely overwhelmed and bored with your situation which urges you to forge your own path and find new ways to break away from family, tradition, and the mundane. Whether or not this desire is beneficial or just ravid temptation is unclear. Fire: The High Priestess, Two of Pentacles, Ace of Pentacles, Nine of Cups. Intuition will be your main way to guide you through life this year, as you will be faced with difficult choices and have to learn a delicate balance. A surge of new opportunities will present itself to you this year and will cause some great satisfaction. From these opportunities are the choices you will have to make in order see what direction your life will take. Don't worry, they all lead to something good. Earth: Page of Swords, Four of Pentacles, Justice, Four of Swords. Life has been going good for you and people have taken notice to the point of wanting to take whatever they can from you. From wasting your time to wasting your resources any way they can. A need to protect what you have as well as your mental energy will rise from this. You can only let people get to you if you let them in. Eventually they will get what is coming to them, for now just keep your guard up.

Horse:

Metal: Queen of Swords, Two of Pentacles, Three of Pentacles, Eight of Pentacles, Six of Pentacles. You have a good head on your shoulders and always have. Your mental acuity does not go unnoticed as more and more people come to you for advice and the ones who greatly appreciate it find ways to make it up to you and make your life much more fulfilling. Enjoy the rewards you gain from your natural gifts. You are not being used if they show their appreciation. Water: Black Numen, The Star, Ten of Pentacles, Three of Pentacles. Your world has fallen apart and you feel as though you have been sinking for a long time with no hope in sight, but your faith has always been strong and your spirit team/deity has never abandoned you. You will be cared for and have all you need to survive this time. You will find those who are truly there for you and find ways to make something beautiful out of the ashes of your life. Keep your head up. You are not alone. Wood: The Emperor, Ace of Cups, King of Swords, Six of Cups. You are full of ambition and purpose, your goals are in sight and you know how to get there. There is no doubt in your mind that you will, but as you work towards your goals, untouched emotions will surface as things begin to trigger you. Know that this has been coming for a long time as you have been suppressing things for most of your life. It is time to release, heal and handle these emotions before they get in the way of your goals. Fire: Six of Cups, Page of Wands, The Lovers, Six of Pentacles, King of Pentacles. Your emotions will lead you into new forms of expression as creativity starts to give you inspiration for ways to turn your experience into a shared experience. You will spark others to seek help while healing yourself in the process as you become a strong symbol for others to look up to. Earth: Seven of Wands, The Devil, Five of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, Eight of Cups. It is time you learned to defend yourself in order to regain control of your life. No don't give in to some of your more violent urges and don't just be amiable for sake of lessening the impact. You need to set boundaries and show that you have some backbone in order for others to stop taking advantage of you and see you as an easy target. Eventually they will get what they deserve, your job now is to learn to defend yourself so that you are no longer a target. From this you can learn to move on and heal. Eventually you may even feel like you miss that wrong form of attention, but that is not for you and is not who you are meant to be.

Goat/Ram:

Metal: Three of Wands. REVERSED: Three of Swords, The Emperor, Ace of Cups, Ten of Cups, Strength, Seven of Swords. It is time to get out of your comfort zone and learn something new. This could be a new place, new school, new career, or just a completely new subject of hobby that has interested you for a while. It is necessary in the process of moving on and moving forward. You have suffered under the rule of another for too long and must now relearn who you are without them and what you can be. A lot of emotions will happen, confusing ones that make you think you should return to the familiar life of abuse and misuse. You feel that your dreams are now shattered as you have lost what you believed to be the only thing you wanted in life. You need to change your way of thinking and focus on what is best for you and learn what your heart truly desires as you recover from the life you left behind. Water: The Fool, Ace of Cups, Ten of Cups, Strength, The High Priestess. A new life is flourishing for you. This marks the beginning of a whole new chapter in your life, one that you may not feel equipped and ready for, but you have total support in. Stay strong and follow your heart this year as it will lead you to where you're supposed to be, who you can trust, and much more. You are stronger than you know. Wood: The Emperor, Six of Pentacles, Ace of Wands, Two of Swords, Six of Cups. It is time to take control of your life, learn to accept help when you need it and offer your own whenever you can in what means you can. You will find a new sense of purpose that inspires you to make the life you want. Perhaps it's one that you recall from you past. A brief moment in time when things seemed right for you. Let's work to bring moments like that back. Fire: Three of Pentacles, The Magician, The Hanged Man. It is time to learn how to work well with others, even those you don't necessarily want to. Everyone offers a perspective in life that you may not know. Open your ears to learn from them. You need to let go of old ways of thinking and embrace a new perspective in order to pursue your goals with a new confidence as now all the pieces will be in in your hand, it is now your job to put the pieces together. Perhaps now you've had the lost piece you've needed for a long time, you were just too closed minded before against a particular person in order to see it. Earth: Ten of Swords, Strength. There's no sugar coating it, you've reached rock bottom. You have fucked up in ways that cannot be fixed anytime soon and have reached a point in life where you have lost practically everything that means anything to you. The recovery from this will require great inner strength and a lot of kindness towards yourself. Learn to love yourself and heal now. You won't be at the bottom forever

Monkey:

Metal: Eight of Wands, Three of Swords, Ten of Cups, Six of Cups. You won't see it coming, but those around you did and they will love and support you when someone you loved and trusted betrays you and/or breaks away from you. The comfort and love you feel from your friends and family will be just what you need to heal. Water: The Hierophant, Six of Wands, Three of Wands, Ace of Pentacles, White Numen, The Star, The Lovers. You've been a sucker for family traditions and beliefs for a long time and it's served you well... in terms of your family anyway. New circumstances will lead you to questioning things in terms of your spiritual beliefs and test your faith. Perhaps some beliefs can be combined? Or perhaps some old beliefs already did and now you are learning the other when you've predominantly known one... Wood: The Empress, Queen of Cups, The Moon. It is time to dive deep within, deep into concepts of inner feminine. Everyone has a mixture of feminine and masculine. In terms of femininity, the feminine concepts trying to call out to you are the ones that rule over the spiritual unconscious, the concept of beauty, the nurturing side, and finding joy in the things you love. Perhaps these are concepts you forgot in the hustle and bustle of the world. Your inner self wants you to be happy and realize the beauty in all things in order for you to regain the ability to care for things of the world you have been neglecting. Fire: The Emperor, King of Swords, Nine of Cups. Your mind has been figuring out everything for you for a long time, and for good reason, it is a strong and powerful mind, one with wisdom for the ages and a strong command. Those around you see that in you and respect your opinion to a point where they value what you say above all others. This causes a great satisfaction and contentment with life. You have reached an emotional plateau. It's not good or bad, but you also won't try to ruin a good thing Earth: Two of Swords, Two of Wands, The Hierophant, Ace of Wands, Two of Cups. Decisions surround you. Decisions in life, love, and the home. You've reached a point where you seem to breaking away from everything you know and love and living life for yourself. You will be forging your own path and don't care what others think, because in the end it is your life and your choice.

Rooster:

Metal: Nine of Pentacles. REVERSED: King of Wands. You're a spoiled brat. There's no other way to put it. You have had everything you could possibly need in life and yet you want to rock the boat and risk losing it all for something that, to everyone around you, seems impossible. There is no indication of success or failure in the cards for you this year, just that you will risk it all anyway just for your own personal beliefs. Water: Seven of Cups, Nine of Cups, Ten of Swords. You are surrounded and maybe even overloaded by the amount of things that run through your mind. You aim to have a life that exists in your mind with no clear path to get to it. You will be running around with your head cut off until you crash and burn if you don't figure out a plan or at least a path in your mind. You have a destination, how do you get there? Wood: The Emperor, Page of Cups, Eight of Pentacles, Two of Swords. Through utter determination you have been studying and working for the life you want and it's all coming together for you this year. Your efforts have been noticed and it will lead you to make a life changing decision at the end of the year. Fire: The Hermit, Four of Cups, Four of Pentacles. You are for yourself and by yourself. You are guarded in every way against the world. You have nothing to offer the world and don't think anyone in the world deserves it anyway. Not your time, attention, love, support, or money. Everything you care about is within you and around you. You are truly alone. Are you happy? Earth: Wheel of Fortune, Three of Swords, Ten of Cups, Three of Pentacles. REVERSED: The Fool. Life has a way of throwing things at us when we least expect it, and in this case it may be a sudden diagnoses or accident as you may find yourself in the hospital this year. You won't lose your life, but you will find out who truly cares about you during this time, and those same people will help you in your time of recovery. Such vulnerability may lead you to thinking you are being taken advantage of. Focus on your physical healing and be vigilant. Just cause you are weakened doesn't mean you'll be utterly useless and easily used.

Dog:

Metal: REVERSED: Wheel of Fortune, Knight of Wands. Learn to let go. Release those you are so desperately clinging to. Being desperate only pushes them away further. Your clinginess and impulsiveness will only lead them further and further away to a point of no return. Water: Three of Pentacles, Three of Swords, Temperance. REVERSED: The Hanged Man. A change of perspective is needed as those you work with lead to disappointing you. There's not much you can do about this other than stay calm and wait out the storm. It won't affect you if you don't let it. Wood: Two of Cups, Three of Wands, Page of Cups. Life will change fast this year as you and your partner get some surprising news. Fire: Eight of Pentacles. REVERSED: Four of Cups. You choose your own happiness this year as you devote yourself to what you love to do and it works in your favor. This is your year. Earth: Ace of Swords, Nine of Cups, Ace of Cups, King of Wands. A new relationship will cause a new perspective on life and spark confidence within you to take on the world. All in all, you're getting a life most dream only dream of.

Boar/Pig:

Metal: Nine of Pentacles, The Devil, The Lovers. Oh the things you do for love. You won't waste any expanse to make your partner happy. Your desire to please doesn't filter out anything, instead as soon as you think of something for them, you're already three steps ahead in making it happen. These desires to please are still temptations that if not reeled back to sensible means will lead you to bankruptcy. If you truly want to make your partner happy, find new ways to show your love every now and then that won't take too much out of your bank account. Water: Queen of Wands, The Hierophant, The Emperor. With great confidence and a bold passion, you take life by the horns and tame it to your desires, paving a way into a new life that is different from anything you knew before. Nothing can stop you, your mind is made up. Wood: Seven of Pentacles, Ten of Swords, Ten of Cups, Five of Pentacles. You've been a patient, good hard worker, but one without appreciation. A turn for the worse will lead you into a downward spiral where you will completely rely on your family once again, but at the same time you will find the time to work towards what you truly want in life and find your inner happiness. Fire: Six of Cups, The Emperor, White Numen, Two of Pentacles, Two of Swords. You've been the spiritual center of your family for a long time. They remember your words of wisdom over anything else and see you as a symbol of authority. This year, all those memories forged with your family will lead you to becoming the multitasker and decision maker for most of their problems as they bring them all to you for your counsel, advice and prayer. Earth: Ace of Cups, The Hierophant, Four of Pentacles, Three of Pentacles, Page of Cups, Queen of Wands, Wheel of Fortune, Six of Wands. REVERSED: The Sun. New emotions arise as you question how things have been done for this long. You debate if things should continue this way or if it's time for a change. Finances become more guarded as you lean on those around you for whatever assistance you can get. This is only temporary and a frequent cycle of your life, but you will find hope and meaning in doing things for others. This will bring back positive memories where you may even find the answers you need. Depression will be prominent this year, but this is just another temporary stage of life.

(on Gay Hairo being canon)

-True, there’s no evidence that Hairo isn’t gay. You got me there… that’s certainly an Implication in that one chapter, considering Saiki’s reaction.

That said, his ass always being out is not *inherently* gay. I don’t see anything that points to the gag being consistently associated with sexuality in any way. (other than Saiki’s occasional comment.)

(on Saiki’s ‘hypnosis’)

-I feel like we have this same conversation every so often; I apologize in advance if I’m just repeating myself, lmao.

‘Hypnosis’ is his ability to make people look like someone else in canon. I used that word the wrong way, didn’t I. Sorry.

It is separate from ‘mind control,’ which I keep confusing it with, which Kusuo used to make things like his pink hair and limiters normal. He also used it to make it normal for students to have jobs, and to make anime tropes such as quicker healing, the ‘ton’ to the back of the neck effective, and destruction of property quickly fixable (I don’t get that one tbh.)

Yeah, come to think of it, ‘hypnosis’ in the sense of making someone else ignore him, is fanon. You’re right.

That said, Kusuo has a lot of weird perception altering powers. He can use hypnosis to make people look like each other, he can cause an auditory hallucination of music (presumably with his telepathy), he can use mind control to make people believe that things are normal (which in turn somehow changes the world itself.) For whatever reason, people do not notice the year repeating itself again and again as he periodically rewinds time. I can’t find it but I swear somewhere in the manga (is it the anime?) there’s a scene where a guy thinks to himself that Saiki’s limiters are strange, and we are told that he rationalizes it away due to Kusuo’s powers. (presumably his ‘mind control,’ which begs the question, if he actually permanently changed their perception of reality, why should they have to rationalize at all?)

I thought it was somewhere in the early chapters but couldn’t find it when I looked. Argh. But yeah I think that’s why I keep confusing the two. Because at one point, there’s some weird implications due to this one guy reacting to Kusuo’s limiters.

(on Teruhashi’s power to make people ‘fall in love w/ her on sight’)

-Yes, I agree “parasocial relationship” comes closer to what Teruhashi inspires in her followers and the men around her.

(on Saiki being affected by Teruhashi’s beauty)

-Okay, I can see where you’re going with the Teruhashi affecting Saiki point, now. I made some incorrect assumptions about what you meant by that sentence.

I think Teruhashi’s good amounts to being nice. Even though they are often done with ulterior motives, her actions have kind effects at least, if that makes sense.

I mean? It seems to improve their behavior, at least whenever she is around? Like the gag with Rifuta, who asks two boys to walk her to the cafeteria, and they start fighting, but they make up and agree to do it together when Teruhashi chastises them for it. So she’s like their external conscience.

After she leaves… debatable. haha. But I do think she has some sort of power that basically amounts to “make people behave as though they are their best selves due to her beauty” while around her specifically. (Which… I don’t know how I feel about that. But that’s what I think.) And Kusuo isn’t affected by that, because he has his own internal moral compass that he basically refuses to compromise on.

Yeah… after she leaves, I’d say they’re back to stumbling around in the dark, morally speaking. She’s still very much doing good, but even though her sphere of “good” is limited to when she is personally involved. I think that’s part of what makes her ego so bad. Because she truly thinks people can only be their best selves when she is around. Which is why she likes Saiki, because her presence doesn’t effect his actions or morals in the least.

That would definitely be interesting! I wonder how he lost his vision… what was able to injure Saiki’s eyes? At the volcano scene he is pushed to his absolute limit, so maybe it’s some natural disaster like that.

I'm not a fan of soulmates in romantic fiction because it's basically arranged marriage with extra supernatural noncon/dubcon elements.

However, in the Saiki universe, the soulmate connection seems to lack pretty much all of those problematic elements.

We have to do a little extrapolating from what we see in canon since this aspect of Aiura's powers is not covered in detail, but:

Soulmates do not seem to be guaranteed to ever meet, considering the fact that Aiura specifically looked up her soulmate and that one guy who was linked to someone in a remote African village that would almost certainly never cross paths with him.

Being with your soulmate is completely optional, otherwise Aiura wouldn't bother providing relationship scoring and just tell each person to go find their soulmate. This allows for a lot of narrative opportunities to explore why someone would consciously choose to not be with their soulmate, and also opens up the door for polyamory.

Soulmates do not instantly fall in love, and are not forced to stay in love by any supernatural powers. Aiura didn't think anything of Saiki until he flawlessly saved Yumehara's life like 10x in a row, and Saiki certainly didn't fall for Aiura right away either. They fought over their values strongly enough that it would've been a breakup if they'd ever been together.

Soulmate status just seems to indicate particularly good chemistry, and like the rest of Aiura's powers, is purely informational and not determinative. Presumably soulmates have the highest possible compatibility scores, and it's kinda cool that it seems guaranteed there's at least 1 person out there who will jive with you, but also plenty of other people you can connect with to various degrees.

With Saiki and Aiura specifically, it's shown that Saiki can change the future Aiura sees as soon as he hears about it. It may even be possible for him to change the soulmate determination, and he certainly could've used Time Leap to fool Aiura into thinking someone else was her soulmate if he was really opposed to the concept. She had scryed it recently, so the butterfly effect shouldn't be a challenge.

But they do work so smoothly together with their powers complementing each other, and Saiki is kind of a lonely romantic tsundere at heart, so it makes sense that he would let the soulmate thing play out and yet test the connection by pushing Aiura away as much as possible.

Actually, considering that Saiki can't control people's actions directly (and that he sucks at trying to control people indirectly), the strongest noncon/dubcon force in the Saikiverse shockingly appears to be Teruhashi's beauty.

The only male character that doesn't seem at all affected by Teruhashi's powers is Hairo, most likely because of his heavily implied homosexuality. Women attracted to other women are also impacted by her power, as seen with Aiura.

While Saiki says that married people aren't affected by Teruhashi, Kuniharu does actually show several signs of being affected by Teruhashi, and so does Kumagoro.

All affected people instantly fall in love with her on sight, no exceptions.

Critical thinking ability appears to drop precipitously when it comes to her, with her fans accepting that she had a secret child with Saiki despite being in school with her every day and that she can just choose not to poop for a week. More effective mind control than anything Saiki can do tbh.

The instant Saiki loses some of his powers, he starts being affected by Teruhashi's beauty.

The narrative supports Saiki's theory that Teruhashi is literally favored by God and can affect reality just by hoping for something. The implication that God is (physically??) attracted to Teruhashi and does whatever she wants is.... yikes on several levels. If she asks for someone to love her, do they get a choice in the matter??

Anyways, there are way more elements of noncon/dubcon with Teruhashi ships than there are with actual canon soulmate mechanics in the Saikiverse and that's just such a wild choice by the author lol.

Truly subverting tropes!

My theories for what the themes of the fourth Sonic movie will be based on.

Ima preface by saying that most of my exposure for anything Sonic related mainly comes from the movies although I've been trying to read up on some of the canon lore these past few weeks but I just wanna put out there how I can see the fourth movie playing out.

Throughout all three movies, we've seen Sonic develop in many different ways, however the more a character develops, the more they run the risk of becoming a character that doesn't develop and grow. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but considering that Sonic is indeed the main protagonist of these movies, it's important to have a place where he can continue to grow and develop as the story continues as a way to keep things fresh.

So where I think the themes of Sonic 4 will be based on are "flaws and perfection". In fact, there's already some decent setup for this to be the case based on the post credits scenes of Sonic 3.

The scene in particular that I'm referring to is when Sonic refers to Metal Sonic as a cosplay, even noting that he got a few details wrong, and we see Metal get visibly mad at this as shown when his pupils dilate. Sonic even follows up his statement by saying how "it's hard to copy perfection", referring to himself.

So where can Sonic 4 go with this idea? Well, based on this scene in particular, we can see that Sonic is pretty confident in himself. He's confident in his abilities, his skills, and his powers, and upon encountering Metal Sonic, all he does is just treat him as just a "villain of the week" threat. He doesn't treat him with the same seriousness like he would with Robotnik or Shadow, but rather another bad guy that he can easily beat.

Now from what I know, in canon, Metal Sonic was basically created to be the "better Sonic" by Eggman. A version of Sonic that was made to outclass him in every single aspect.

This is where I think the themes of flaws and perfection could fit in with the movie.

As I mentioned before, Sonic is confident in who he is and his abilities. And in a way, he now sees himself as perfect as he could possibly be after everything he's went through throughout each of the films. But what does it really mean be perfect? Does it mean to be without flaws? Without faults? Or does it mean that you don't have to be perfect in the literal sense, but to embrace who you really are, flaws and strengths combined.

Throughout the movie, we could see how Sonic grapples with the identity of being the "perfect" hero to everyone, especially since he's served as huge inspirations to other characters such as Tom, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow to be better versions of themselves in the previous movies.

This is also where I think Amy would be able to play along with the themes of the movie. Let's say she has her tarot cards, this could cause her to have an idealistic view of the way the world works. She could think that her tarot cards could provide the answers to the future or something along those lines. And in turn this could lead her to have an idealistic view of Sonic, viewing him as a legendary hero with all these grand acts of heroism that have inspired her to be her own hero and her tarot cards told her that she would meet this hero one day (this is how I assume Amy managed to locate Sonic at the end of Sonic 3).

There was this one artwork by @/Kiioki11 on twitter that portrays how I would imagine the Sonamy dynamic playing out in the movie, with it being something more mutual instead of something one-sided or a "reverse Sonamy" situation, where Amy looks up to Sonic as a legendary hero that she was destined to meet and Sonic, being his cocky self, playing along with it and hyping himself up. Overall I just want them to be silly goobers with one another and to form a genuine bond with each other.

Now as comedic as it may be for Sonic to hype himself up, this actually starts developing an internal struggle for him. Even though it's great that he's looked up to by people and has helped them in one way or another, it can cause him to start feeling that he has to live up to those expectations. And with how high of a pedestal Amy has Sonic on already, something like that could overwhelm him so throughout the course of film, we can see how he can crack under the pressure being the "perfect" hero for his friends since he's supposed to be their leader, he's supposed to be the one who guides them into victory, the one who mostly has the fate of the world on his shoulders.

So when Sonic finally reaches his lowest point during the film, this is where Amy's idealized view of Sonic is finally broken. The image of the "legendary hero" she was destined to meet is shattered, and instead is replaced with the real Sonic. Here she actually gets to see Sonic as Sonic and this time, she's the one who motivates him to keep on going, making it a reversal of the "pep talks" Sonic would usually give to other characters such as Knuckles or Shadow. Despite having had that idealistic view of Sonic now destroyed, her empathetic nature allows her to see past that, especially with everything they have gone through together throughout the film. This is where Amy learns to see Sonic for who he really is and if we're gonna go the romantic route, that small crush she once had turns into genuine love and adoration for Sonic and vice versa.

Now where Metal Sonic comes into play is how he could have what I like to call a "crash out" arc. What this means is that once he finds out he's just a copy of Sonic and not the real deal, this is what drives him batshit crazy to prove he's the "one true Sonic", leading him to become Neo Metal Sonic, essentially representing a Sonic that is "perfect". A Sonic without flaws and is at the peak of both his powers and abilities. So while Sonic has learned to embrace who he really is, flaws and strengths combined, Metal Sonic tries to eliminate the flaws he has to achieve absolute perfection. Also Paramount, please give Metal Sonic a Tai Lung/Shredder-esque battle where he completely mops the floor with Team Sonic, I wanna see him be an absolute beast.

Anyways, that's all I got for how Sonic 4 could potentially play out and how I would like to see some things go. Let me know what you guys think 🫡
