#HAPPY GONI DAY!!!!

BX / LOVERS OR ENEMIES ERA

[khaleesiofalicante]

In Sri Lanka, we celebrate the New Year (also known as the Harvest Festival) when the sun moves from Meena Rashiya (the house of Pisces) to Mesha Rashiya (the house of Aries). It also marks the end of the harvest season and of spring.

Sinhalese and Hindus follow particular traditions for all their day to day activities like clothing, eating, bathing etc.  Government Issue a traditional timetable only for the New Year season (we bathe and eat and go out at particular times). There are colors specified to wear on that day and people mostly used to wear the traditional clothing in Sri Lanka. 

There are traditional food items indigenous to the Sri Lankan society, like milk rice, which is made with milk and cooked rice, and oil cakes called Kawum. There are so many yummy things to eat during this time! We call this avurudu kawili (New Year sweets!). 

My favorite part of Avurudu (New Year) other than the food of course is all the games. We play soooo many traditional games (as a community - school, workplace, neighbourhood, etc) and it’s so much fun. Let’s have a look at some of my favorite games!

Kana Mutti (like hitting a piñata, but there is coloured water inside). I am very bad at this lol.

Tug of war (this is so fun ahhh)

Playing Raban (drums) - this is usually done by the women and the tunes are such a bop 

Bun eating with your hands tied (I’m a pro at this btw)

Goni (sack) race my beloved 

And of course kotta pora (you have one arm tied behind your back and you have to hit your opponent with a pillow (kotta) until they lose the balance and fall off the thingy. (I've never played this and never will either lol)

Put the eye on the elephant (self-explanatory)

Lime and spoon race (I am also a pro in this)

Lisanaha gaha (climb the greasy pole)

And of course the infamous Avurudu Kumari (a beauty pageant!!) where women (and men) dress up in our traditional clothes and walk around. I got invited to judge it once and I was gay panicking the entire time.

Anyway! I just wanted to share it with you all because it’s such a fun time and even though Sri Lanka is going through a difficult time with the economic crisis, people are still celebrating because it’s nice to have something to celebrate and be happy about. 

Happy Sinhala and Tamil New Year to everyone who is celebrating ♥️

3-8 for the system asks?

3. Which headmates were enemies at first and now best friends and/or a couple?

Probably Edgeworth and South? Edgeworth is real skittish and shy, and South generally hates most things, but they get along weirdly well.

4. Which headmate is the most different from the body?

Yours truly, insofar as I'm the one who deviates the farthest from the body species-wise. You could also argue Edgeworth or Dohko since they're not white, but like... I think I still win that one.

5. Which headmates are city folk?

Me and Edgeworth, hands down. Al to a point, but he gets overwhelmed really easily in crowds. He likes the theory of cities, but he can't really do all day every day in them.

6. Which headmates are country folks?

Goni, South, and Dohko. Dohko personally thinks cities exist to smell bad and ruin his day, Goni dislikes anything that isn't a stream or garden, and South would probably be happier in a small town next to the sea. (I'm pretty sure the only thing that would make South happy would be flying out to Greece together, ngl. Grumpy ass fish.)

7. Which headmates have the most unique music taste?

Callout post for Charybdis Albafica and his pop loving ass. I think if you spliced EDM with a fiddle he'd lose his entire shit.

8. Which headmate has the most specific role?

We all have different roles? My job is most things, Goni takes cutesy things and relaxing, Al takes second-in-command / gatekeeping / Voice Of General Reason, South takes emotional regulation / Voice of Bitchiness, Dohko takes slowing the fuck down, Edgeworth takes ignoring our problems and just focusing on our work and actually fixing things when we're wildly stressed.

So I'm not sure which of those is most specific but that's what everyone does. xD;

[socialpoison]

Happy Mother’s Day, what was your ocs mother like?

Klaus's mom Rachel was an astronomer from the Free Cities! Klaus was even more shy when he was young, and they'd spend a lot of time together. She supported him in just about everything, but it was inevitable that he'd take in interest in astronomy and navigation, the way she'd put him to bed with stories about the stars and crossing the sea and the old country.

Kindra's mom is the Erengi Queen! She controlled all of them, her thoughts and commands in their head at all time, her children the workers and soldiers in the Empire ahe created. Kindra's ancient older siblings rebelled and overthrew her, putting her in a coma. They thank her for nothing but her body's ability to lay the eggs they hatch into their younger siblings.

Traenor's mom was a human who fell in love with his troll father! Both of them were easily embarassed types, and wanted to start as normal a family in Garenbrig as possible, which is why they bargained with a witch for magic that would give him a human appearance. She's a practical and down-to-earth sort of mom, and she dearly loves her son, who she couldn't be more proud of.

Ellidus has two moms! One Auriok accorder, and one Neurok artificer. Their Auriok mother didn't seem so supportive of many of their ventures into artifice at first, but the two of them eventually came to an understanding. Their Neurok mom was often away helping the Vrist Network in Lumengrid, and Ell really only wished they could see her more. They both felt that Ell was their greatest accomplishment.

Rhoda's mom Navahl had her with a passing Auriok scout she never saw again. She was a horticulturist, growing tanglebloom and gelfruit and other foodstuffs. She was gentle and mild and loved her little Rose Gold girl. When she got married to het husband Goni, Rhoda was her flower girl! (or whatever the equivalent is for sylvok wedding ceremonies).

Torra's mom Talma was a warden of the Anvil tribe! She helped keep the peace between tribes. She was tough, and taught Torra to be firm but fair, to stick to her guns but to know how to compromise, and that anything she wanted was possible, but only if she were willing to work long and hard to make them real. She died when Torra was young, and Torra missed her dearly.

Dec. 15, 2017: Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens

In Dec. 2017, the second film in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (episodes 7-9) was released. Hindsight will allow the Sequel Trilogy to be seen differently, similar to how the prequel trilogy (episodes 1-3) are looked at as being better than they were at the time of their release now. But as much as the Sequel Trilogy has been raked over the coals by SW fans, the one in the series everyone seems to agree on is that episode 7 directed by Rian Johnson is the best of the series. This one had a ton of surprises and turns I wasn’t expecting, not to mention Luke Skywalker as a grumpy old man and Carrie Fisher’s final performance. I named this one my #6 Movie of 2017. Happy 5th TLJ!

Dec. 19, 2002: The 25th Hour opens

In Dec. 2002, one of Spike Lee’s best and most underrated films was released. It was one of the first movies to address September 11 as it took place in NYC post-9/11 as Edward Norton plays a convicted drug dealer about to go to prison who on his last day of freedom spends the night with his two longtime friends played by Barry Pepper and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The entire cast is firing on all cylinders. Just watch Norton’s scene as he rants about NYC and try not to be blown away! Happy 20th 25th Hour!

Dec. 25, 2017: Phantom Thread opens

Similar to QT, Paul Thomas Anderson has had several of his films open on or around Xmas Day. His 8th feature was released in December 2017. It is a 1950s-set romance between a fashion designer and a young waitress that changes him. If this was in fact Daniel Day-Lewis’s final performance, he went out on top. It’s also a film I see something new in each time I watch it. I named it my #12 Movie of the 2010s! Happy 5 PT!

Dec. 26, 1967: Magical Mystery Tour premieres

In Dec. 1967, the third Beatles film (following A Hard Days Night and Help!) premiered on BBC. Fans don’t always talk about this one as much as the other films, but it’s got some cool music sequences. I got the 2012 blu-ray in my collection! Happy 55th MMT!

Dec. 26, 2007: There Will Be Blood opens

Speaking of PTA, his 5th film was released in Dec. 2007. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017 and here is my soundtrack review I did in 2019 when it was reissued. Happy 15 TWBB!

Dec. 31, 2022: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind opens

Adaptation isn’t the only Charlie Kaufman-written film to celebrate an anniversary this month. His (ahem) adaptation of Chuck Barris’s wild and crazy autobiography marking the directorial debut of George Clooney was released in Dec. 2002. In a star-making performance Sam Rockwell plays Barris as the host of The Gong Show and his secret life as a CIA assassin. Whether it was true or not, it was one of the most original films of the 00s. No one ever talks about this film in contrast with Clooney’s other directorial efforts, but it’s his best IMHO. Happy 20th COADM!

[marveltrumpshate]

The work continues

Phew. It’s been a week since Election Day, but it feels more like a decade. Like all of you, we were glued to our phones, computers, and TVs all of last week, unable to think about anything other than the latest election updates.

Saturday brought immense relief and joy, and we hope you all were able to take a deep breath and recharge this weekend. We hope the results energized you not only because a safer and better future seems possible again but also because there’s still a lot of work ahead of us. We need to undo so much of the damage that’s been done and make sure to push the incoming administration to do more, to fight hard and not settle for returning back to “normal.”

There are different ways to get involved and many causes to support. We’ll be doing what we can through MTH, but as it’ll be a while before our next auction in 2021, here are some Marvel-related/inclusive fandom charity events to check out in the meantime.

@fandomtrumpshate - An auction founded in 2016 that welcomes all fandoms. FTH will be starting up again soon!

@marvelfans4blm - An auction focused on BLM-related causes and black Marvel characters. They haven’t announced whether they’re returning for a second year yet, but keep your eyes peeled.

@charityhawktion - An auction for all things Clint. They’ll be returning in 2021.

@what2finish (happening now) - A new auction that welcomes all fandoms and aims to help victims of Typhoon Goni. Creators offer their list of WIPs or ideas for people to bid on.

@coloring-for-a-marvelous-cause (happening now) - A new event where creators work on a collaborative Marvel coloring/activity book. All proceeds from book sales will go to charity after covering printing and shipping costs.

As always, we’re happy to signal boost Marvel-related/inclusive fandom charity initiatives and solo charity fundraisers by fellow fans. If you don’t see something on this list or you make a new event, let us know!

[etes-secrecy-post]

Hi, before I explain my post, I want to say something important.

What you see my blog has become a major overhaul. And despite the changes, I decided that my 2nd account will be now my artwork blog with a secret twist. SO PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY 2nd ACCOUNT TO EVERYONE, IT’S JUST YOU AND ME! AND IN CASE YOU WANT TO SHARE MY POST THEN DON’T REBLOG IT. INSTEAD JUST COPY MY LINK AND PASTE IT ON YOUR TUMBLR POST! JUST BE SURE THE IMAGE WILL BE REMOVED AND THE ONLY LEFT WAS THE TEXT.

Okay? Capiche? Make sense? Good, now back to the post…↓

When the November starts, it is time to pay a visit with our beloved souls from our family tree who already past away ✝️🪦🙏🕯️; sure you can celebrate late 🎃Halloween🕷️ , but for the Speedsters Family are quickly changed their outfits into normal and went to the cemetery for a relaxing, having fun and mostly set a picnic through day or night 🪦🕯️🏕️(it’s like a regular picnic at the park with tombstones all around, some of you may already know about this tradition). BUT, since some cemeteries and memorials are closed and some are in restrict rules during pandemic of this year... The Speedsters family decided to stay home and pray, in fact they have a urn ⚱️ displayed at their altar in living room 🏠 with ashes inside of their related family who passed away due to his natural causes (not being infected by virus that we know). Needless to say, at least they have a related soul for a pray and accompany at home.

BTW: #1 [My artwork from Sept. 2017]:  The person of this picture was this anthro, grandpa Jimmy Frias (Rita’s mom). #2 [The photo I took]: The name Jimmy was inspired from my grandpa 👨‍🦳 of the same name (actually his full name was “Florentino Gloria Frias”), who passed away a months ago ✝️ (June 6th, 2020) due to stomache ache problems and serious constipation,  also he’s positive for COVID-19😔🥺. As of today he’s already cremated inside of urn 🔥⚱️ which you can see it right now displaying at the living room, much like in my artwork. And here’s my related grandpa looks like in the photo (sorry our quality photo print is poor 🖼️ due to our Canon Pixma printer’s (IP2770) cartridge issues). #3: Finally, a Super Typhoon “Rolly” (Goni) had already approached through our country 🌀🇵🇭, and its was devastating at first glance 🌪️🌧️. But at least we’re enjoy the fresh, calm and relax from the shiver rainy weather 😌😴. Although it’ll be a black out ⚡⚫⬇️ the entire home (or rather shutting down the electricity) from the aggressive weather, hope this will happen anytime soon...😟

Pray and respect our related souls everyone, and Happy All Saints (and also advanced Souls) day!😌🙏🪦🕯️

303 |Lee Byounggon|

When Byounggon has a crush on his next-door neighbor and friend but doesn’t even know their name.

Words: 2.8K

Genre: fluff

Warning(s): an awkward neighbor! Au + mentions of alcohol + idk I just hope you like this kdjsk + stream movie star peeps!!

This is a part of a silver boys series I’m currently writing. Find the masterlist here!

Feedback is very appreciated!

“Pleeease.”

"No.”

“No.”

“Gonie, please.”

“Those puppy eyes don’t work with me, Seunghun.”

Seunghun rolled his eyes and pouted as he talked to his best friend.

“I can’t see why you don’t want to do it, there are only advantages! Look: we get some credits for our grade, we make friends, we-“

“We get less time to study, we look ridiculous since nobody would join and people from other clubs will make fun of us... Do I continue?”

That time, Seunghun frowned and gave his best friend a friendly punch on the shoulder. It had always been like that: Seunghun, the main dreamer; Byounggon, the realistic dreamer. It was obvious that Seunghun was going to be benefited by that stupid theatre club he wanted to create, after all, he majored in acting and he was basically raised inside a theatre. But for him? He’s majored in music, production of music to be accurate, how’s that going to help him apart from the credits?

“I’m not helping you this time, I’m sorry.”

That was a few months ago. Now, he finds himself with a notebook and list of the ones that are already inside the club.

“Bang Yedam and Kim Doyoung.” He reads out loud. “Why are some high schoolers joining the club? Isn’t it for college students only?”

“Haven’t you realized that the dance club began being only for students but some people of all ages ended up joining? It doesn’t really matter who joins, college students are the only ones getting some benefit though.” Seunghun explains and Byounggon nods, he is surprised at how his friend seems to be taking it seriously.

“Lee Midam.” He continues reading. “Noa Kazama, Kim Junkyu.”

“Our first member and dearest friend Jeon Woong.” Seunghun smiles fondly when he reads Woongs's name. He was the first person that joined and Seunghun will always be thankful to him. “And these two girls... Oh, let’s stop reading here.”

“Aren’t you like half dating one of them?”

“Shut up. She dropped, there’s only her friend in the club, I forgot to remove her name.” Byounggon decided not to comment anything else. After all, he seemed a bit down when talking about his girlfriend’s relationship with her friend. Byounggon didn’t know what happened, but he doesn’t know if he wants to know.

“Anyways, let’s keep this tomorrow okay? I think you have a class to plan and I have some things to do.”

“Okay friend.” Seunghun stood up from his bed, where he was sitting, and guided Byounggon to the front door to say goodbye properly, as he always did. Byounggon smiled at his friend and made his way to his apartment slowly.

He doesn’t want to admit it, but he’s glad he has an apartment for his own. He won’t be able to become a real artist if he isn’t 100% focused on his music, and he doesn’t want to bother anyone with it, as well as he doesn’t want to be annoyed in that process. When he’s on his creative phase, he’s super energetic, but nobody is able to see it since he locks himself until he creates the song that matches his idea. After that, everything is happiness. However, when he’s going through a drought, is better not to talk to him until his mood is a bit better.

That’s probably another reason why he lives alone.

“Come on, Bx, you have this.” He tells himself. Right now he wishes he could write something, but with all the subjects to study, all the projects he has to create for class, and the fact that he is worried about Seunghun, he can’t really focus, and, as written before, he’s a bit unbearable.

He opens the door that guides to the balcony and he sits there on a chair while holding his guitar. He begins to play something, maybe that way, with the cold air of winter caressing him and with nobody to listen to him at sight, he can focus better. He tries, again, and again, and again, but fails to find something to inspire him to create a good track for his teacher. He begins to create a melody he likes but stops suddenly when something doesn’t match.

“Why did you stop?” He turns around to the sound of a very well known voice for him. He finds you sitting on a chair while having a cup of hot chocolate and your laptop in front of you. “I liked it.”

“I didn’t, that’s the problem.” He answers you.

Being honest, in spite of becoming unbearable when he has no inspiration, he wouldn’t talk to their neighbors like that, but he knows you well enough to talk to you openly.

“Are you going through another crisis, 301?” You ask the tall boy. He rolls his eyes, but when they meet yours, he knows he can’t lie to you.

“I am, I can’t really focus on my school projects because I have no inspiration and then I don’t know how to help my friend with the club I told you the other day.” 

You listen to him carefully, as you use to. This is how your dynamic works: you could be freezing out there in the balcony, or melting under the hot summer sun, but you have created a bait to talk about your life and give each other a piece of advice when needed.

Funny when you don’t even know each other’s names, you just name each other after the apartment you live in.

“What’s wrong with the club? It isn’t working?”

“It’s going better than expected, Seunghun is happy already, but I know he wants more, and I want to help.”

“301, I’m going to give you my honest opinion, as I have always done.” You say. Byounggon begins to draw simple figures on a piece of paper to avoid looking into your eyes. “I think that you shouldn’t overwork yourself. Focus on what’s important now, because I see you’re already pretty overwhelmed with all the assignments you have to do. Talk to your friend and try to find a way to promote the club! As a marketing student, I can give you an example of flyers to hang around or to spread but just do me a favor and don’t try to carry all the weight of the situation, okay?”

He thanks God he’s looking down because he can feel his cheeks burning up. That’s your effect, he always thinks his heart is about to explode every time he talks to you as you’re always making sure he’s fine and giving him the best pieces of advice ever. He does the same to you, yes, that’s what friends are about, but he doesn’t think about you as just friends.

“Once again you’re right, 303, I’ll try to listen to you, thank you.” You smile and look at the time.

“No problem 301, I’ll bring them tomorrow if you want to.” You focus on your laptop again and sigh, that’s when he knows you’ll be complaining. “I have to finish this for tomorrow but this is so long 301. I went outside to talk to you and get some fresh air, but I’m afraid this will take longer than I expected.” You shiver when you finish and hug yourself.

“Are you cold?’“ He asks.

“A bit, but my roommate has all the blankets because I told her I didn’t want them.” You shake your head, thinking how dumb were you when you let her take all of them.

“Take my hoodie.” He suddenly says. “I’m not really cold, you can take it for tonight if you want to.” At first, you didn’t want to take the poor boy’s hoodie because he would freeze, but he is a very persistent person, so you end up wrapped around his hoodie and smelling his cologne.

You will mark this night on your calendar because you don’t know how you’ve ended up sleeping with his hoodie on.

“Seunghun I’m cold.” The brown-haired boy tells his friend when they get into the giant room where they plan everything about their club. 

“Why didn’t you bring a hoodie? It's literally February, are you dumb?”

“I forgot I washed all my hoodies at the same time, and I lent 303 the only hoodie that isn’t wet.”

“You lent your crush your hoodie?” 

“I did.” Seunghun smiles at how Byounggon didn’t even try to deny the fact that you’re his crush. “Oh god, Seunghun I really lent them my hoodie!”

“Congratulations on realizing mate.” He teases his friend, knowing how embarrassed he is. “You’re a step closer, now all you have to do is to ask their name!”

“I will, someday.”

Seunghun shakes his head in disapproval.

“Make up an excuse and talk to them! Don’t be a coward!”

Byounggon rolls his eyes, but he knows his friend is right.

“They said they were going to help me with the promotion of the club and was going to give me some flyers to spread and stuff.”

“They’re so nice!” Seunghun has stars in his eyes. “Haven’t they helped us already giving you some ideas?”

“They have.” You were the one who helped to design the sign and also spread it around your university too, that’s how close you are to Byounggon.

“Of only you confessed Bex, if only you confessed.” Seunghun has the theory that you like him too, but Byounggon thinks he is completely wrong. You would have thrown a sign already, right?

“Nothing will happen if I confess. We have a special neighbors relationship, I’ve been the fool that caught feelings here, they have nothing to do.” Seunghun rolls his eyes, but decides not to mention the topic again, he knows his friend doesn’t like to talk about it.

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. By the way, are you coming to Chan’s party?”

“I haven’t been told about any party.”

“Yes, it’s in two days, Friday night, Woong said it last night on our group chat.” Byounggon curses at himself for being so distracted, he should talk more on their group chat.

“I’m not sure, I'll tell you later."

He saw it clear Thursday night when he got home. He began working on songs and lyrics that didn’t satisfy them as much as he would like to. Besides, you said you were going to show up, but you didn’t appear that night.

“What a shame.” He thought to himself. “I really wanted to talk to them today.” It’s the main disadvantage of not being completely close.

To: Pompompurin

So, party tonigh?

He sent the message to his friend before going to the university and his answer didn’t take long to come.

Pompompurin(4)

I can’t believe we’re going to a party.

FinaLLY.

I was feeling bored already.

Hyunsuk will be there too!

He sighs, Hyunsuk is also one of his best friends, but he’s not the right person to party with right now, he knows it the moment his friend offers him a cup with more alcohol than soda to equilibrate it.

“What are you drinking, Hyunsuk?” He asks his friend right when he comes into the party as he takes the cup from him so that he doesn’t drink much more. He has heard from Seunghun that he’s having some difficulties in his relationship and apparently the only thing he does now is going to parties.

“S fine friend.” Hyunsuk answers as he slur words.

He ends up drinking two more cups to prevent his friend from drinking that much, but he forgets that his tolerance to alcohol isn’t as good as Seunghun’s or Woong’s, so we can say he’s not drunk, but maybe a bit tipsy.

“I’m bored.” He tells Seunghun. “I don’t want to drink more from Hyunsuk’s cups, he’ll end up making a cocktail out of the water inside the vases.”

Seunghun laughs.

“Wait here, I’ll go pick up my coat and we’ll leave in a few minutes, okay?” But Seunghun shouldn’t have trusted a tipsy, bored Byounggon. He’s never an irresponsible person, but he becomes one when he’s in that state. 

Byounggon ignores Seunghun’s calls, who thought he was still inside the party and was looking for him like crazy. On his way home, he thought of something he could do now that he could blame it on the alcohol, so instead of opening his door to come into his lonely apartment, he knocked at your door.

“301? What are you doing here?” You ask sleepily.

“Hi 303, I thought I’ll see you yesterday.” He says casually.

“Are you drunk?”

“Just tipsy.” You have only seen your neighbor drunk once, and the only difference was the strong scent of alcohol and that he was more flirty than usual. You know it’s bad to listen to drunk people, but when that night he opened his front door for you to come into his apartment and literally begged you to put him to sleep as he explained to you his life detail by detail, you could feel your heart warming up.

You know everything about Byounggon, but he forgot you know the following morning. You guess he thought it was his friend Seunghun and that’s why he asked no questions.

“Just tipsy? Are you sure?”

“Stop teasing mee.” He complains and laughs it off. “No, seriously, I’m perfectly fine, just more confident than usual.”

“That’s good. Do you want to come in?” You don’t know why you’ve asked him that, the boy you are absolutely crazy for? Half drunk? At your house? Without your roommate to be seen? Dangerous.

“I actually do. Someone told me they were going to show me some flyers, but didn’t appear yesterday.”

“I’m sorry about that.”

“I missed you. I have been so worn out, I needed your light.” You feel your heart sinking and you have to remind yourself that he’s drunk.

“Okay, let me show you the flyers.” You do what you’re the best at, running away to calm your stupid heart down. You come back with a huge variety of flyers with colors and shapes and take a seat on the couch. He decides to follow your example, but he’s closer than you expected

He looks at the flyers amazed and you begin to rant about this one and that one and their stories behind. At some point, his eyes are not on the pieces of paper anymore, and they’re completely focused on you.

“Do I have something on my face?” You ask him when you realize.

He shakes his head.

“You’re just very cute, 303.”

“Oh shut up.” You try to ignore his compliments, knowing he has a flirty personality when drunk.

“You are cute, but I’m tired of this.” Your heart stops.

“You’re drunk 301, let’s talk when you’re sober, okay?”

“I already told you, I’m not drunk, just braver than usual. That’s why I finally have the guts to say that I have like a huge crush on you.” You are completely shocked to say the least. Did you hear it right?

“Like a huge crush on me?” It is all that you can say.

“Okay, actually I really like you but it’s weird I mean, I don’t even know your name.” The fact that the Byounggon you use to know becomes a little child when he’s nervous and with alcohol in his system hits you when you realize he’s both, nervous and drunk, at this moment.

And, as you are nervous too, the only thing you can do is laugh it off.

“Don’t laugh at me!” He pouts. “I knew I shouldn’t have drunk to say this, I should have guessed that you weren't going to take me seriously.”

“You drank so you could confess?”

“At first that wasn’t my purpose but let’s say it ended up like that, yes.”

“God, you’re an idiot.”

“I know, I know, let’s not bring me down even more, okay?” You then realize that this is the moment, you must say what you feel now.

“Does the fact that I love you back makes you feel a bit better?” You ask the question smoothly, almost as if it wasn’t something that concerned you, but the truth is you were even more nervous than him.

Everything fades away when he smiles widely, happily. Your heart skips a beat, he’s defenitely the closest person to perfection in your eyes.

“Can I kiss you?”

“I’ll let you kiss me tomorrow, if you remember everything that has happened this night.”

“How can I let you know? Do you want me to kiss you right when I see you tomorrow?” The way he says it makes you blush, how can he take it like that when you still haven’t recovered?

“Please no! I’ll be so embarrassed.”

“Then what?”

“Call me by my name.”

“And what’s your name?” He asks, approaching you dangerously.

“Y/n.”

“Sounds nice.” He’s still getting closer and closer, but you don’t feel the need to move away. “You’ll always be my 303, though.”

You may or may not have finally kissed more than once that night.

Why did he keep finding so many negative things to think about today? He’d been doing so well the past few days and it was like this was his punishment for letting himself be happy for a while. He berated himself for feeling like that, too. He needed to stop making everything about himself. Gods. He was so in his head that he didn’t realize Will had been talking to him until he tapped Nico’s shoulder, startling him out of his stupor. “Mama wants to talk to you,” he said softly.

-

"And how's my Nico?" Naomi asks. Will angles the phone so she can see him cuddled into Will's side. "How're you?" Nico shrugs. "Okay. Getting better." Naomi smiles. "I'm glad Will made the right decision," she says. Nico hums. He definitely doesn't think he could have handled Will being gonie longer. "How're you doing?" Naomi shrugs. "Better today than some days," she says. "I'm sure you know what that's like." Nico nods. He does for sure. "I'm sending you two some goodies soon, also."

-/-/-

“That’s good,” Will said with a snort. “Because someone here has an insatiable sweet tooth, we can’t keep anything good in the apartment because he’ll eat it right away.” Nico frowned and flicked Will’s ear. He was right, of course, but that didn’t mean he had to tell on Nico to Naomi. Will laughed wholeheartedly, and Nico just huffed. “Well, I’ve got to get going,” Naomi said, “it’s so nice to talk to you boys, and I’m so happy things are going well.” Nico and Will both nodded, and Will whispered his affections before she hung up. Then he turned to Nico. “Well, ready to head out?”

omg yess the weicix beloved maknaes. I WAS EXCITED TOO?! like i've always claimed both junseo and hyunsuk as my best friends, turns out they actually met up together and became besties. 😂 love whenever they talk about each other to us fans. AAA seunghun donghan the members-kissers, you surely do have taste.

exactly my thoughts, bjy irl is actually less annoying than his taurus stellium and i truly admire his passion in this industry so yes, it was a safe choice!

oh, wow junseo actually places third in my wei bias list and i love seokhwa just as much, he's the one that got me into wei, very talented and lovely. for cix, both hunie and gonie got me into cix, but yes, you're right, hyunsuk is my ult in cix! yonghee is my bias wrecker somehow, his energy these days is just Woah, pretty happy that he is gaining more confidence. have you watched the dream concert 2022? our beloved hyunseo took a pic together. 🫂 and your feeling is right, yohan is actually my ult in wei. always find myself attracted by the virgos. 😵‍💫

— 🪐

i was genuinely in shock when they became besties because i was like ?! what are the odds it would be two groups i love so much AND my biases in each? i felt like the universe was bestowing a gift to me that day 😂 i live for every hyunseo crumb! and thank you! i do like to think i have pretty good taste ;)

absolutely! jinyoung is so admirable <3 and he's the perfect balance of lowkey and sassy. can't go wrong with that! not too passive, but not too over-the-top.

i love that we share an ult in hyunsuk! 🫶🏻 he is the most lovely. i adore him beyond words. yonghee is actually the first one i noticed in cix, so i have a special place in my heart for him always. lately, though... he's a different animal now 😭 i did watch the videos on youtube today! i thought it was so cute that hyunseo got to take pictures with unplanned outfit matching omg. i would've lost my mind with them taking selfies together again no matter what, but that was so cute.

i knewww it was going to be yohan. i thought your personality suited junseo and seokhwa on paper (going off of your vibe in asks fkskkws), but my gut was going "yohan yohan yohan." hahah. yohan and junseo are dangerous in the same ways: way too adorable while also being way too hot. the duality is so ?? also i love that you find yourself attracted to the virgos! it makes this virgo feel pretty good about herself 💋

[Happy Independence Day] एक जिम्मेदार नागरिक होना चाहिए और जो सही है उसके लिए खड़ा होना ...

[shadowfae]

**breathes in deeply**

(vent)

So I'm a soulbonder who's looking to make a new bond to a particular person and nothing is working.

I know a lot about this person, I know a good amount about their world, and I know what I need to do, but none of the things I've tried have worked. I've bonded people before in both intentional and unintentional ways. This is unusual for me. I don't quite know how to handle what's going on here.

I know what's probably causing it. My mental health kinda tanked between this and the last time I called a new bond. Like. I've started experiencing psychosis issues intra-headspace. Thankfully I've avoided anything that severe in meatspace, but I have had increased issues with my pre-existing executive function and emotional regulation issues. Every time I think I've gotten somewhere with bonding this character it's only been psychosis issues and discernment issues, and it's really, really disheartening.

But even aside from mental health issues, when I'm relatively lucid I'm not having luck.

I've tried summoning, I've tried inviting, I've tried direct "hey come here", I've tried indirect "hey we'd like to talk", I've tried yanking them, I've tried directly appearing to them in their own world, I've tried just trying to talk to them before. Most of these I've tried more than once. Nothing has worked. There may have been contact in the past (and seemed positive-to-neutral about learning more about this place and visiting), but at this point I really doubt even the more reliable incidents. Something should have worked here, and I can't shake the feeling something is going very wrong.

I know I should probably give up and move on at this point, as it's been literal months. Honestly I've asked a lot of places for help and I've looked into what resources I've been able to find on their source world and bonding in general, and my options are running dry. Nobody would blame me for giving up. But I have my reasons not to. I have a feeling about this, and they're in a situation I don't feel like leaving alone. Like, everyone they thought they could trust screws them over. I also DESPERATELY want to at least talk to this person. This entire situation is so fucking frustrating. I'm at the "try shaking cat treats at them" phase.

Also I can't talk to anyone about this because 1. dude's source is from my own AU, and is technically my oc, 2. the places I can talk about this shit are not open to sensitive parts of this, going assume I'm lying, or uh, were exposed to a few cringey false alarms on related things, 3. it's been long enough and constant enough that it's too much to talk about the full extent of this nonsense. 4. My SO can't tolerate this person's source world, so I won't make them endure my prattling.

Because I needed isolation added to this clusterfuck.

Anyway that was good to get off my chest, feel free to throw this into the tumblr void with the identities of anon asks if you want. Or post it, I have no investment in the fate of this.

Mmmm, it looks like there are several issues here that you're facing.

I want to ask: do you have any other bonds right now? Because maybe getting them to try will help, just because their methods will be different than yours, and sometimes you just need a second set of hands. (Or fins, as Albafica wants me to make sure you know.)

There could be a ton of things blocking it, and I would suggest dealing with your psychosis issues first. Not give up, but put this on hold until you know what's causing the psychosis and have dealt with it. You do not want to forge a bond on such a shaky foundation. I'm not saying 'psychotic people can't soulbond', flames forbid I am, I'm reading that this is a new and difficult thing, and you don't want unknown variables getting in your way, especially when they can induce things that look similar to soulbonding but really really aren't.

I have to account for my Devil powers every time I do a spell, ward, or fuck around with the headspace. Because I'm the host and the god in the room, and things answer to me when they won't to anyone else, and Albafica's commentary on that is "stop locking me in a room with your crazy sentient brambles that only speak static whenever you're majorly upset" and I think that's not fair to me, that only happened once and it was accidental, but you get the point. That's a variable you need to be predictable and accounted for.

Then yeah, past that it looks like they're just not willing, and if you want to bond, you need to see it from their side. Because to some random person in their world, you probably feel / appear like a particularly dangerous spirit that's trying to eat them. Al agrees that's how he'd take it if someone pulled that on him, and he's very untrusting on his best days. So it sounds, so far, like your approach is not the best for this.

If you rule out medical reasons for your psychosis - and that is not an easy thing to do, please check out medical things for that, you don't want to fuck around with it - it could also be them refusing you and using their own wards. (Or at least, I can see the line of thought between them trying to stop you and such backlash; but that's an option to consider after medical issues.)

If you can get in contact with them, you need to ask one question, and one question alone, and do not pass go or collect your 200$ until they've answered clearly: do they want you to stop?

You haven't said why you want to bond with them so badly, and motivation is a key factor here. With Goni, he showed up looking for Luco and serves partially as the adult to go to when shit gets bad and also as the resident prettyboy and slut. Al is logical and blunt and his remarks cut deep, but he gives a damn and functions as lieutenant where Goni's advisor and backup. South is uh, he's the demon commentating about how much we should just kill people and he's right, he is, but that's illegal. He also serves as the youngest and the most prone to extreme emotions, and when someone else is doing the extreme emotions, it makes it that much easier for the rest of us to keep our heads. He says what I'm thinking, and then I can deal with it rationally.

They're all people, and they aid each other as well in headspace, but the bond between host and bond is a bit different than bonds with each other. I pilot the body most of the time, I handle everything in meatspace, they help me do that. It's simple: keep the guy who pilots the body running, get body privileges.

And what you need to consider here is not only what they can do for you, but what you can do for them, and how exactly you're going to coexist. Because while my triad of fishmen help me, I also help them, largely because uh, /gestures at the fact they all died in a war in various gruesome ways and the journey they took to get there was actually worse/. It's all fun and games until they're here, away from the danger, and then there's the exotrauma.

Goni handles it by not handling it until he has to and right now we're working on actually acknowledging that he's got issues. South deals with it by being resentful as all hell and incredibly violent and yandere, but being allowed to not pull his punches is still so new to him that it's actually quite good for him to get to say what he's thinking and be respected for it. Al's grumpy about it but is trying to build something of his life now before he falls apart. He wants something to hold onto first, which is smart. Trust Al to figure out the most logical way with none of the words and then adamantly refuse to let that go wrong. He and I both understand bullying the universe into giving us what we want, and since he has full utter control over his own mental processes thanks to being able to make my Devil powers do what he wants, I don't think anyone's going to be able to interfere with his ability to do that.

So now I have to ask for you: what is this bond going to be doing for you, and just as important, what exactly do you expect to be able to do for them? Because they're also an OC, and they may have some goddamn feelings about that. They may see you as having coincidentally written down their life, they may see you as channeling it, or they may see you as the one who made it happen. All of which you'll also see in fictionkin spaces. If they fall into the last category, they're gonna be pissed you didn't give them a happy ending, and they're justified in that, and so are you for not doing that.

You have to be prepared - especially from reading between the lines of your ask here - that they're not going to be as functional as you want them to be. When we handle our exotrauma, we're a mess. Everything gets put on hold to deal with it, and even then, we rely a lot on our partner system (Faolan and the Nebulaic Collective) to keep the body from crashing so we can hold onto our life instead of falling apart utterly for a week straight. We don't do jack entirely with the four of us, and it's better that way.

The fact that you can't rely on anyone outside of yourself, especially considering 1) they don't seem to want this, 2) your attempts either very coincidentally happened alongside or caused serious mental issues that need urgent attention from you, and 3) you don't sound prepared to handle the severity of what you're implying it to be; all goes to show that this reads to me like a terrible fucking idea. I mean that honestly and gently and bluntly.

I don't mean 'give up and don't do this', I mean 'seriously dude either you're not giving me context or you haven't thought nearly hard enough about the realistic way this is going to go', and if it's the latter, no wonder you're having issues.

I already know who my next bond will be, and I know what needs to happen for him to show up. Right now, the four of us are functional, and we have a good Thing going on, sleeping arrangements and all. If we're getting another, a Space needs to open up for him, job to keep us functional that he can do as well as a part to play in our dynamic that is currently not being met. We got Adult (Goni), we got Logic (Al), we got Emotional Teenager (South), we got Has Context And Admin Access (me).

(Side note, South is vaguely 17-19, but he's been treated like he was five for most of his life and has been forced to rapidly oscillate between genuinely horrifying scenarios and being incredibly sheltered, so trying to put any sort of 'he's an average X year old' is downright impossible. He's on the upper end of teens and we call it a day there, and if he hears a word of "you're not old enough to do X activity" then I have to stop him from sending you graphic descriptions of things he can do to your insides and that's no fun for anyone so don't do that please.)

So when we have a space the new bond can fill both in keeping things functional so he has something to do and a space in our relationship so he's not standing on the sidelines looking in, he'll show. As it stands right now, that hasn't happened, so he's not here yet. That and I think I'm stretched rather thin when it comes to bonds, I need much more time with our fishes before I think I can handle more folks in here. So much on my mind, so little time.

But either way regardless. You have several glaring issues that are fairly obvious that you may not have noticed because you can't be objective in a situation you're involved in (true of everyone), and until you fix those, yeah, this doesn't sound like it'll work all that well.

Although I will note that I typically bond via my writing, simply writing from their perspective until they start commentating. They go from 'maybe MaDD doing shit' to 'oh hey soulbond' when they don't comment only on themselves but also on things I'm doing in meatspace. Albafica's a character when he's narrating his own life, he's a person when he demands More Salmon For Dinner; if that makes sense.

I doubt you'd get that far unless they genuinely did want the connection, because otherwise they wouldn't tell you stuff about themselves. Works for me, might work for you, who knows, please get your psychosis symptoms checked out first before touching this again and make sure they actually want to bond and it's actually viable before continuing and then try again I suppose?

A very long answer for a very long ask, but I like Helping, so. Hope that helped a bit.
