#I will be making a mega post about all the messages soon

[mossy-bonez]

He so I have been thinking about gravity falls for obvious reasons, and I was rereading the lost journal pages that are in tbob and I just realized that in a tale of two stans, when ford tells Stan to go as far away from him as possible, instead of going with him he was also trying to protect him from bill, because and spoilers if you haven’t read it

Bill is absolutely still going into his body and fucking shit up, hurting him, messing up his reputation in town, the works, and I don’t doubt that if Ford were to have gone with Stan or tried to stay with him, or anyone else for that matter(you know rely on them have a good relationship with them), that bill would have tried to kill them when Ford fell asleep, so that he would have nothing and no one but him(he’d have to talk to bill eventually if he had no one else, is what I think the thought process would be). All of this is what has caused me to see that moment in an even more heartbreaking and tragic light

LIVEBLOG: Dofus Novel 4, The Thirsty Beheader

I apologize for my absence. Translating this novel has burned me out from the fandom in a pretty major way, and I also got into a different fandom in the meantime and am, like, three 4k word chapters deep into a longfic for said new fandom. Besides that, I had a depressive episode and went insane for a while. Basically, I've been a bit busy.

At the same time I release this post, I have uploaded the new, updated versions of both translations (since this liveblog is mostly a reason for me to reread and fix stuff) to MEGA and VK, so I recommend you download the new versions!

I will mostly be copying the text directly, to bypass tumblr's image restriction, but some screenshots will be provided. For example:

If pride is a sin, then the typesetting and cleaning I went through with this book will have me go to hell after I die. (I don't think I'm a master, but I did a pretty good job, ok?)

A cart had just entered the District of the Lost Steps. It stopped in front of the store, as two Srams* got out.

I love the internal consistency of the street being named here. Thank you, author of this book, for caring.

“Are you sure about this,” asked the little guy, “Is this really the right place?” “Yeah,” replied the tall one, “There aren't thirty-six Shushu* houses in the neighborhood.”

LMAO this is something Kerubim is actually known for, huh?

At the time that this book takes place in, joris can't read very well. Cute...

Also, hehe... I am pretty proud of the way this part of the book was cleaned + the font + the layers and colors and opacity I applied to the text, to make it fit in with the paper.

^^^ This is me btw, during this entire post. ^^^

The entirety of the epilogue and prologue are typed on top of cleaned backgrounds sourced from the scan. The rest of the book is typed in front of a digital background. This artistic choice was made because....... You can't set different pages to be different colors in word. You have to overlay some image or a textbox, if you want a page to be a different color.

Anyway — I had a lot of fun searching for the fonts from this book! (and far less fun searching for appropriate fonts for the Russian translation since none of the fonts this book uses have cyrilic versions...)

The fonts this book uses are: Dimbo, Chelsea Market, and Aleo. Google them for all your Dofus Aux Tresors de Kerubim related needs.

The fonts I chose to use in the russian translation are: Brydan Write, Correction Brush, Curinn, and Itim. I just had to make do with what I had, ok?

“My Papycha said it's urgent!” exclaimed Joris, “He could be in danger. Maybe he's being attacked by the Thirsty!” Even Pupuce looked worried. Simone reread the message, thinking out loud: “The Huffing Bow Wow tavern is in the Pandawa district... There's plenty of bamboo milk there. Maybe the neighborhood is overrun by the Thirsters?” “And soon, the whole city will be under attack!” concluded Joris.

Nobody knows how to escalate a situation better than a 7yo with anxiety. God bless <3

The Ecaflip goes full "war machine" mode: he cuts and slices through the living dead for the entire night, and when the golden disk of the sun finally rises over the horizon, the scenery is carpeted with the Thirsty. The region is saved. Kerubim becomes a legend. To thank him, the local lord offers him the... “Hey... Joris? Are you listening?” asked Simone. She began shaking the boy, who, abruptly snapping out of his reverie, mumbled: “Huh? What?”

Joris is so normal. So sane.

“Bye-bye,” added Bowiknif. But Luis slammed the door in their faces, roaring: “You're not going anywhere!” “Oh yeah?” hissed Bakstab, “Is that so?” “Would you like us to chop up your friends with a Brakmarian steel sword of Chouque?” questioned the other, “Or with Samuel J. Axe?” Luis muttered what sounded like a string of expletives, before reluctantly opening the door to the two robbers, who bolted out without further ado.

I'm LITERALLY fucking insane about this.

“I'm sorry,” said Luis, “I tried to hold them back, but...” “We know, we saw everything,” the girl cut him off, “You did your best, Luis.”

Actually deranging. Also explains why Luis did fuckall about Sipho, Harebourg, and Ush — there's just not much he can actually do.

She spotted a Dragoturkey standing near a trough. In two strides, she reached the animal, untied it, and climbed onto its back like an experienced Dragogirl*. “Let’s go!” she said to the boy.

This once again raises a some questions about Simone's past — when did she learn how to ride dragoturkeys? Is it the same reason why she knows how to fight, at least a little?

Then again, maybe she's just being an Osamodas here.

I love, love, love the Simone&Joris content in this book. Their bond is so important to me... She's the aunt who stepped up.

This art is so nice...

They had run like mad through half the city, arrived at the wrong address, turned back just as a thunderstorm broke out, wandered around in the rain in the Pandawa district, and FINALLY arrived at the Huffing Bow Wow Tavern, a large, long building with a thatched roof.

They're so fucking stupid. I love them.

“Ah, there you are!” called out Kerubim, “I almost thought you’d make me wait some more!”

I wish english also had the phrase "I almost thought you'd be late" as a cunty response when someone's an hour or three late to an event. I don't think the english translation I made conveys the sheer frustration.

Kerubim raised an eyebrow — a perfect copy of the circumflex accent:

I struggled with this part a lot in russian sjfkgdfg. It made me nerd out a little bit too.

I didn't have a lot of comments here, but eh. It was nice to finally get this over with dfjgkdsfg.

he is RISEN baby girl

hello hello! yes i'm alive, just very mentally ill. things are on the up and up and i have mega brainrot right now so i decided to try and get back on the "being a person" horse. you may see i've just posted some poolverine smut to AO3 here.

if you've sent me messages during my year hiatus (especially regarding commissions) I love and appreciate you and will be responding SOON, i PROMISE!

long ramble about where i'm at/life update below the cut.

May of 2023, I graduated with my masters. yaaay woo but also booo because it didn't help me get a job at all! i finally landed a paying gig in September of 2023 after sending out quite literally hundreds of applications. i only had two interviews total and a mountain of auto-rejections to show for it and it took an immense toll on my mental health. It started what was (in hindsight) a year of a prolonged downward spiral.

i already really struggled with self worth and turns out riding the merry-go-round of job hunting rejection cranked my depression up to new heights. for the first time in a long time, i found myself so low as to be entertaining thoughts of suicide. my eating disorder peaked the hardest it has since high school. i had also moved out of my parents house and in with my partner May of 2023 and was readjusting to being out of a traumatic environment. i had panic attacks anytime he came into a room too quietly and surprised me for months. I found myself isolated from most of my friends (partly because of my own communication death-spiral depression paralysis) and also because i moved to a different city than all of them to live with my partner again (0 complaints there, i love the city i live in and love my home with my partner and our bird children. however i miss my fucking friends, and the loneliness compounded the Despair Arc i was having.) My fucking health insurance changed because my previous policy holder retired and i lost some medications for a period of time, stressing my body in bad ways. a really bad spell of migraines compounded things chemically for the worst.

i borrowed some money to return to my therapist and my doc recently upped my antidepressant dose, and I can tell that both of those things but ESPECIALLY that last one there has helped already. My partner, closest friends, and even some coworkers have said I seem much better, too. I'm hopeful about it. Optimistic, even!

i did get a job working for a behavioral health nonprofit that provides outpatient psychiatric services in administration. It pays in fucking sheckles and pennies (nonprofits be like) and psych is a challenging environment to say the least. it was another 6-month fight to hammer out disability accommodations with HR. my body is a machine that consumes paid leave. as any of you that have danced an accommdations dance can probably attest, it sucks so goddamn bad. i had basically round after round of requests for my doctors to fill out paperwork that amounted to "will they get better? Are you sure? Alright, please estimate how often this person will need this accommodation in hours per week." of course it took an immense mental health toll, too. i kick ass at what i do and i do it chronically understaffed but it's really hard to feel secure anywhere when you're constantly missing work due to uncontrollable Body Bad Times (migraine, explosive diarrhea, uncontrollable vomiting, my three horsemen). especially if someone has a grudge, and someone did, which added extra layers of complexity.

i'll be honest, it's good to have something to get out of bed to go do 5/7 days of the week (i was going stir crazy without employment) but i'm running myself ragged and barely making it financially. not only was this body i have NOT built for an 8-5, i have less than 15$ to my name right now to show for it and i keep having to borrow money from my family for medication. but i truly love the people i work with and feel like i get to do good for my community where i'm at, and that's something folks!

speaking of health, i kind of got my gut stuff figured out? not really. but also yes! i don't have a diagnosis of any kind but i have a treatment that's WORKING for the constant nausea i was always blogging about last year. my GI put me on domperidone before meals and oh my god, total fucking game changer. no longer am i burping up half-digested food and walking around with 24/7 debilitating nausea AND my appetite even kicks in when i take the damn pills!!! the only down side is that domperidone is not FDA approved in the USofA because of sudden cardiac failure or what the fuck ever so i have to pay out of pocket for all of it. that's a good 150$ per month on top of all my other medication, so that's a bummer. but god, to have something that works!!! it's been so nice. no sudden heart failure yet, fingers crossed.

i have really bad executive dysfunction when it comes to responding to messages (i currently have 100+ unread text messages from friends and family) but i'm challenging myself to work through my backlog of messages in the coming days, so stay tuned if you've DM'd me in the last year. thank you for thinking of me and i appreciate you endlessly.

as for commissions, my life is just too unpredictable for me to be as consistent with those as i'd wanted to be. as much as having the bonus income was really amazing, i just feel like i'm too flakey and unreliable to deliver on that regularly and that's just a shitty thing to do to someone. (please check your DMs if this describes an interaction we had with me.)

i'm sorry if this decision is disappointing to anyone, but i think i'm going to stick to having a kofi live if folks feel inclined to show appreciation for any fic i post and maybe taking a comm very very rarely, once in a blue moon when circumstances allow. I do want to honor anyone that messaged me about a comm during my year hiatus. Please check your DMs. for my casual reader: none of my current projects on AO3 are abandoned. i've never stopped working on them this past year, even if it has only been in my notes app. i really want to start posting more regularly again. i miss the outlet immensely. I think it's good for me, creatively and for a sense of community. i hope you all understand and thank you. thanks for still being here.

about waccha primagi.

it's ending.... (mega long who cares-type post)

once again, I've seen this coming for a while so I don't have a particularly big emotional reaction to it now. the anime not continuing immediately -> at all, the huge spotlight on idol land at the same time (and--bearing in mind that I don't know anything about anything--possible lack of people/time/money to support primagi as a result), the decrease in original coords and content in the game.... this alone was enough for me to start mourning primagi's loss way before it ended.

I haven't played for over a year, but I hope I can play again before it's over. I'd like to record a vid for each of the new songs I like at least... but I'm busy with yet another cross-country move to god knows where and possibly changing jobs so sadly this is very much on the back burner. maybe after work...? I'm so tired though (ｉ _ ｉ)

I've seen people wondering if the machine will be updated for the new series' game. but: recall that in the past, the new series was teased in pvs and stuff as the next step of pretty series, and that was it. yesterday's sort of stoic text discontinuation of service message is not a normal part of the change to a new series. and it's bad business practice to make us all depressed about the series ending without giving us something new to get excited about first. I think the cabinets will be removed from arcades eventually. I also think that will be the end of idol games in arcades period.

BUT--there is a new series coming. and I cannot imagine any possible reason for them to make an idol anime without an idol game for it to advertise. so that means... surely there must be a new game coming as well!! that leaves 3 possibilities as I see it:

1) actually the cabinet is just changing over normally and they're announcing it in the most disadvantageous way possible. why would they do this

2) another new cabinet?? what a waste of money that would be!! why not set it on fire instead??

3) a game on another platform?? likely smartphone, right? but then look what happened with idol land--how can they manage two apps at once? how can they expect anyone to trust them to do so?

I also would not trust them to do two separate idol apps at once without tanking both, but 3 is still my first choice here because it means people outside of japan can play too, and I don't have to dig out space for yet another card collection. but who knows what will happen. and we'll find out more about the new series soon enough--feb 2 is when the next Ciao with more info is out.

even though a new series is guaranteed, I still don't feel great about it. there's no guarantee yet that it will even be a full anime and not some piddly little webseries that's predestined for death. even if it is, there's still some stuff I feel primagi seriously whiffed on that could have helped its longevity, and some other circumstantial stuff that they had no control over, but which also hasn't been resolved. in the whiff category, the main thing I can recall atm is--why did they never make toys for this kids' anime? kids still want toys, right?? overall, the game felt a little less accessible for kids... or like they weren't pandered to enough? (not nearly to a degree as bad as Planet, though.) I mean, as with everything else I talk about ever, I don't know enough about the topic and am just saying things, but this always stuck out to me a bit. I remember commenting on it a couple times.

the circumstantial stuff is more significant, though. the big one is covid. of course Japan is business as usual by now, like everywhere else I know of, but I just have not seen as many people playing in arcades since 2020. that is especially true for aikatsu and pretty series. the other one: I wonder if idols in general are losing their appeal? I know of a few idol game apps that have ended in the past couple years, and then of course there's aikatsu... recently even Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage, a game I have played religiously for years, has been making suspicious movements that have really put me on edge. is no one interested in idol series anymore? more broadly speaking, does it seem like there is less anime oriented at young girls overall today as compared to several years ago, or is it just me...?

with that as the backdrop in my mind, though, primagi ending feels more tragic. I may not be drowning in tears, but I am really, truly going to miss it. I honestly think that it had the best story of all of pretty series. I know Rainbow Live is everyone's fav--I like it too!--but it did have this soap opera level of drama that felt facetious and silly if you thought about it too hard. I think there is a certain type of person that will say "but that's why it was the best!! primagi would never!!", and don't get me wrong!! I just said I like it and I think it's fun too!! but I am not talking about opinion, or which was more tongue-in-cheek so-ridiculous-it's-good, which I think is another way to like something ironically. I am only interested in liking things genuinely (bc of the mental illness), and I think primagi was a more genuine example of storytelling with less drama for drama's sake. it also had interesting and unexpected and heart-warming character interaction in the same way RL did. it wasn't perfect, but it was very good. I wish it was longer.

and god, the game looks SO GOOD. I still can't believe how good it looks. I miss notes in the game all the time bc I'm too busy staring with heart eyes at how cute and cool and pretty my idols are in it. the music is SO GOOD, and I know that's very much a matter of opinion, but even by a vaguely more objective metric: I don't find myself thinking "discount kpop" like in Aikatsu Friends sometimes or feeling absolutely, totally unimpressed like in Planet always. the songs were unique for idol anime and kids' anime, and different from the popular stuff my students listen to as well. even if you didn't like the music, it was certainly interesting.

and the coords are AMAZING... they really took advantage of the game's graphics to do fun things with textures and shapes, and even the most fantastical outfits are designed realistically, by which I mean, I know exactly how I can recreate them irl to look exactly like they do in the anime AND ALSO look pretty... given access to enough money. (this was true for pripara as well. but it was something that bothered me a lot in prichan, bc there were a lot of coords that looked like bad papercraft or just plain bad, and would be impossible to recreate irl, and might look awful even if you could.) even though the game is ending and I have to save for the move, I want to buy up all of the cards for coords I like just to have them! and don't get me started on how cute the cards themselves are!!

...but primagi is still ending. I'll live. I don't expect much from the new series in terms of longevity or how much I like it, but I do still hope to be proved wrong.

and in the end, you know what? I never got a decent hairstyle for Biscuit. I'm stuck with the starter twintails to this day. they never released a DARKER SKIN COLOR. maybe primagi had to die all along.

[alicentsultana]

Ooo I'd love to help/write with you! I can message you if it's cool? I'm honestly awkward at times and tend to ramble...so idk if it's okay or not.

I feel like the point where Alicent really starts to question it ...hmm ...let's say.... Post Criston scandal? when Rhaenyra secretly drops out of uni and gets knocked up by her new bodyguard/boyfriend Harwin and gives birth to jace? basically Viserys goes it's all good Rhaenyra doesn't need any punishment or to get scolded for quitting school and having a baby but Alicent is so disappointed with Rhaenyra because, she had a chance at a good education but ends up doing this!? And that she lied about Criston, had an innocent man fired!?

Also the fact that Alicent herself is pregnant soon gives birth to Daeron after Jace is born and watching how Viserys treats his new grandson while not even asking about how she and their new baby is!?

Also let's say Viserys starts frequently calling Alicent, Aemma when he's high on medication also calls Aegon, Baelon which adds to the poor boys trauma and infuriats Alicent because it's one thing to treat her like shit but he's even projecting it to their son now... she's just over everything like you said and Otto seriously points out she should look at inheritance things lol, yea calls Larys...

Omg yes Alcoholic Aegon ... it fits very well honestly, he smokes and drinks and makes bad friends as a teen and those things kinda stick with him, I don't think Alicent would have Aegon help raise his siblings tho like I feel like she's hire a nanny or something?

Because I don't think Alicent would leave her marriage dirt poor, she's taking whatever she can get and Viserys didn't want her making a huge scandal so he tells her that either she takes the 25% overall shares he's given her+kids or else he'll use his connections and make her regret it.

So she has money, just not as much as Rhaenyra and Viserys do lol plus her Hightower side are somewhat influencal tho I can see her uncle + even Otto mayhaps disowning Alicent because how dare she get a divorce!? Divorce is not allowed in their church! (Fuck them)

I think after the divorce Alicent would probably want to pursue her education which she had left, tho not sure what subject she would study? Maybe something history related? or even a medical related? since she's a natural as helping and tending to the sick? I do think she's very very smart so whatever she studies she'll do great in!

Please so send a message! We all are awkward in this site, is a trait we all share.

Alicent would be mega disappointed. Like girl haven't you learnt nothing?

I wouldn't say raise raise the kids along with her, but more of a "stop whining! We're not going back, do peace with it". After all he was nine not 14.

Alicent can use her manipulative inheritance to, idk I picture her as a somewhat popular public person but not in a very influencer way, more of a philanthropist, people know something is wrong bc she's so young, he's so old, but she does charity and most that work with them would say she's an unassuming woman. I would love her threatening him.

They would dishonor her like is a casual sunday.

I too think she's very smart, so anything she chooses would be successful, I lean towards history for her, feels like passion.

Context: Consider that the first date took place after the two of you already had a certain amount of contact online through messages and video calls.

San

Nosso último romântico, vai fica mega ansioso pra esse dia e nervoso sobre onde te levar e o que fazer no primeiro encontro, preferindo te convida pra janta num lugar mais reservado. Ele vai fazer questão de manda um carro te busca, e assim que te ver se aproximando da mesa já vai fica todo bobo falando que você é a mulher mais bonita que ele já viu. Você vai ser o centro do mundo pra ele enquanto estiverem juntos, ficando tímido cada vez que você olha e sorri pra ele. Ele vai passa o jantar todo te olhando enquanto vocês conversam, prestando atenção em cada detalhe, e até vai bebe uma taça de vinho com você (mais só uma, porque ele não quer fica bêbado e passa alguma vergonha). Depois do jantar, ele diz que gostaria de te leva pra ver a vista em um ponto turístico ali próximo. Vocês vão andando até lá e passam um tempo conversando, segurando e brincando com as mãos um do outro. Você se sente confortável ao estar com ele, pois ele é gentil e respeitoso, te dando a sensação de segurança, mesmo que ele pareça todo sem jeito toda vez que você chega mais perto dele. Você nota que está tarde e que precisa ir e ele fala que vai pedir um carro pra te leva. Vocês falam sobre se encontrar de novo, ele vai pedi um abraço, no que você responde: "Além do abraço, acho que você pode me dá um beijo de boa noite também".

Our last romantic, will be super anxious for this day and nervous about where to take you and what to do on the first date, preferring to invite you to dinner in a more reserved place. He'll make sure to send a car to pick you up, and as soon as he sees you approaching the table, he'll get all silly saying that you're the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. You'll be the center of the world to him as long as you're together, getting shy every time you look and smile at him. He'll spend all dinner watching you while you talk, paying attention to every detail, and even drink a glass of wine with you (just one more, because he doesn't want to get drunk and embarrassed). After dinner, he says he'd like to take you to see the view at a nearby landmark. You walk over and spend time talking, holding, and playing with each other's hands. You feel comfortable being with him because he is kind and respectful, giving you a sense of security even if he seems all awkward every time you get closer to him. You notice that it's late and that you need to go and he says he's going to ask for a car to take you. You talk about meeting again, he'll ask for a hug, to which you reply, "In addition to the hug, I think you can kiss me goodnight too."

Jongho

Obviamente nosso jovem e adorável Jongho já planejou tudo pois é um homem preparado para toda e qualquer situação. Ele pergunta se você gostaria de conhecer um lugar especial e te leva pra conhece uma casa de campo que o grupo usa para descansa nas férias. Como o encontro de vocês é a noite, ele comenta que você pode dormir lá depois se quiser, mas se optar por voltar mais tarde, ele chama um carro para te trazer de volta em casa quando quiser. Ele vai te busca em casa de carro e obviamente já comprou coisas para o jantar de vocês. Ele sorri assim que te vê, e fica totalmente sem rumo quando você dá um beijinho na bochecha dele antes de entrar no carro dizendo: "Achei que esse dia nunca ia chegar!". Ele leva quase meio hora pra coloca o cinto e liga o carro porque ainda está impactado com o beijo inesperado. Ele pede pra você escolhe a playlist do carro pra já ir conhecendo seus gostos, enquanto vão conversando até chegar lá. Quando chegam ele te convida pra vocês irem conhecer ao redor da casa, e aprecia o pôr do sol juntos. Todo tempo ele é bastante atencioso com você, buscando te agradar e saber mais sobre o que você gosta e como está se sentindo. Juntos vocês preparam o jantar e depois ficam batendo papo, tomando um vinho e jogando jogos que tinham na casa. Esse tempo de diversão entre vocês é prazeroso e agradável, e aos poucos Jongho vai se abrindo mais com você e deixando o nervosismo de lado. Ao fim da noite, ele pergunta se você gostou do primeiro encontro, e você diz enquanto ri: "Amanhã quando a gente tomar café da manhã juntos, eu te conto!"

Obviously, our young and lovely Jongho has already planned everything, as he is a man prepared for any and all situations. He asks if you'd like to visit a special place and takes you to a country house that the group uses to rest on vacation. Since your date is at night, he comments that you can sleep there later if you want, but if you choose to come back later, he calls a car to bring you back home whenever you want. He'll pick you up at home by car and obviously has already bought you things for dinner. He smiles as soon as he sees you, and is totally aimless when you give him a little kiss on the cheek before getting in the car saying, "I thought this day would never come!" It takes him almost half an hour to buckle up and start the car because he's still impacted by the unexpected kiss. He asks you to choose the car's playlist so you can get to know his tastes while you talk until you get there. When you arrive he invites you to go around the house, and enjoy the sunset together. All the time he is very attentive to you, trying to please you and know more about what you like and how you are feeling. Together you prepare dinner and then chat, drink wine and play games that you had in the house. This time of fun between you is pleasurable and enjoyable, and little by little Jongho will open up more with you and put nervousness aside. At the end of the night, he asks if you enjoyed your first date, and you say while laughing, "Tomorrow when we have breakfast together, I'll tell you!"

Yunho

"Você tá gostando?" Yunho vai passa o encontro todo perguntando isso pra você, afinal o mais importante pra ele é que esse seja um momento especial pra vocês. Ele não sabe muito do que meninas gostam, mas ele pensou o que gostaria de fazer com alguém que gostasse muito então te convidou para irem numa roda gigante e depois assistirem um filme no cinema que fica ali próximo. Vocês combinam de se encontrar na roda gigante, e pra evita que alguém visse ele, ele postou uma foto de como estava pra você o reconhecer assim que chegasse. Ele já tinha comprado os bilhetes de vocês, então quando você chegou ele já veio na sua direção dando um abração e dizendo que estava feliz em te ver. Depois que ele segurou sua mão ele não soltou mais, e você ficava apoiando a cabeça no ombro dele, o que provavelmente deixava ele sorrindo embaixo da máscara que ele estava usando. Quando a roda ficou no alto, ele baixou a máscara e vocês finalmente puderam se ver de verdade e assim dar o primeiro beijinho. Saíram da roda andando juntinhos e correram para o cinema, escolhendo a sessão estivesse mais vazia de uma animação. Ele pediu pra você escolher a pipoca e os doces que queria enquanto ele comprava refrigerantes pra vocês. Como escolheram poltronas de casal, vocês puderam ficar todo filme juntinhos, você agarrada no braço dele e ele encostando o rosto perto do seu cabelo e dando beijinhos até você erguer o rosto pra beija ele. Quando o filme acabo, ele decide leva você até a estação pra você ir embora. Depois de se abraçarem, ele fala que amou o encontro e que mal pode espera pra te rever, e você diz: "Eu também, namorado" o que vai fazer os olhinhos dele ficarem 🤩 e ele quere outro abraço antes de ir.

"Are you enjoying it?" Yunho will spend the whole date asking you this, after all the most important thing for him is that this is a special moment for you. He doesn't know much about what girls like, but he thought about what he'd like to do with someone who liked it a lot, so he invited you to go on a ferris wheel and then watch a movie at the nearby movie theater. The two of you arrange to meet at the ferris wheel, and to prevent anyone from seeing him, he posted a picture of how he looked so you could recognize him as soon as you arrived. He had already bought the tickets from you, so when you arrived he already came towards you giving you a hug and saying he was happy to see you. After he held your hand he wouldn't let go, and you kept resting your head on his shoulder, which probably left him smiling under the mask he was wearing. When the ferris wheel was high, he lowered his mask and you were finally able to really see each other and give each other the first kiss. They left the ferris wheel walking together and ran to the cinema, choosing the session that was emptier of an animation. He asked you to pick out the popcorn and candy you wanted while he bought you soda. As you chose double seats, the two of you could stay together for the whole movie, you grabbing his arm and him leaning his face close to your hair and kissing until you raise your face to kiss him. When the movie is over, he decides to take you to the station so you can leave. After you hug, he tells you that he loved the date and that he can't wait to see you again, and you say, "Me too, boyfriend" which will make his eyes stick 🤩 and he wants another hug before he goes.

Hongjoong

"Você é linda igual aquele pôr do sol" Aí aí o nosso capitão sabe as habilidades que tem! E pra um primeiro encontro ele vai usa todas as formas possíveis de te encanta e te agrada. Ele te convida pra vocês tomarem algo no final da tarde num lugar mais reservado, e enquanto conversam ele fica todo tempo atento em você. Enquanto fala, você nota como as vezes ele está tímido diante de você ao mesmo tempo que busca ser gentil e curioso sobre tudo a seu respeito. Enquanto a tarde vira noite, ele toca sua mão com delicadeza e pergunta se você gostaria de conhece um pouco mais do mundo dele. Por conta do trabalho ele precisaria volta pro estúdio, mas ele vai aproveita essa oportunidade pra te leva lá para você conhece, vai te mostra tudo e tenta te mostra como funciona o processo de trabalho dele pra que você se sinta parte disso agora. Enquanto estão lá, ele vai toca pra você, e você vai usa esse pretexto pra pedi pra ele te ensina a toca algumas notas no violão. "Acho que você vai precisa me ensina outra coisa, já que eu não levo jeito pra isso como você", você comenta enquanto ele coloca o violão do lado do sofá e se aproxima de você dizendo: "tem uma coisa, que acho que ambos sabemos como se faz!". O primeiro beijo de vocês é tímido mas evoluí rapidamente pra uma necessidade de permanecerem ali juntos. Ele lamenta você ter que ir, mas antes de ir ele promete te dar mais umas aulas de violão particulares se você quiser.

"You're beautiful like that sunset" Oh, oh, our captain knows the skills he has! And for a first date he will use every possible way to charm and please you. He invites you to have a drink at the end of the afternoon in a more private place, and while you talk he is always attentive to you. As you talk, you notice how shy he is at times in front of you while trying to be kind and curious about everything about you. As afternoon turns to night, he touches your hand gently and asks if you'd like to know a little more about his world. Because of work, he would need to go back to the studio, but he will take this opportunity to take you there so you can get to know him, show you everything and try to show you how his work process works so that you feel part of it now. While they're there, he'll play for you, and you'll use this excuse to ask him to teach you how to play some notes on the guitar. "I think you'll need to teach me something else, since I'm not good at it like you do," you comment as he puts the guitar next to the couch and approaches you saying, "there's one thing, I think we both know how to do it!". Your first kiss is shy but it quickly evolved into a need to stay there together. He regrets that you have to go, but before you go he promises to give you some more private guitar lessons if you want.

Seonghwa

Park Seonghwa já teria um script completo de tudo que ele faria no encontro, afinal ele ficaria muito muito ansioso, e se planejar seria a forma dele ter certeza que nada daria errado. Ele combina de vocês irem passear em um lugar afastado que ia com a família, onde pudessem fazer um piquenique e passar a tarde juntos. Quando você perguntou o que precisava levar, é claro que ele respondeu: "Nada. Não preciso de nada além de você lá comigo". Ele passa na sua casa para te buscar, e assim que você entra no carro ele não consegue esconder a felicidade e fica rindo de nervoso toda a viagem. O lugar onde vocês ficarão é como um parque com várias plantações ao redor, e vocês escolhem um lugar para montar o piquenique próximo a um árvore grande. Vocês passam a tarde conversando, namorando e comendo as comidinhas que ele trouxe. Ele convida você pra dar uma volta ao redor e vocês colhem flores que vão acaba virando adereços no cabelo um do outro e anéis de casal. Você decora o cabelo dele com flores e ele fica tímido quando você pega a máquina e fica tirando fotos dele dizendo: "Ô Park Seonghwa, como você é bonito! Acho que entendo porque você tem tantas fãs, wow acho que sou uma mulher de sorte de ter um encontro com você!" Você pede pra ele canta pra você enquanto ele deita no seu colo, e você fica intercalando beijinhos no rosto e mexidas no cabelo dele. Quando o sol começa a se pôr, vocês decidem juntar as coisas para ir embora, não sem antes passar um tempo namorando no carro. Ele deixa você em casa, e quando você comenta que ele não poderia ter escolhido um lugar mais bonito pro primeiro encontro de vocês, com cara de tristeza ele fala antes de você ir: "Nada lá era mais bonito que você! Você nem foi embora e eu já estou com saudades, o que eu devo fazer! E se a gente tivesse um segundo primeiro encontro amanhã?"

Park Seonghwa would already have a complete script of everything he would do at the meeting, after all he would be very, very anxious, and planning would be his way of making sure nothing went wrong. He arranges for you to go for a walk in a secluded place where you went with your family, where you could have a picnic and spend the afternoon together. When you asked him what he needed to bring, of course he replied, "Nothing. I don't need anything but you there with me." He stops by your house to pick you up, and as soon as you get in the car he can't hide his happiness and is laughing nervously the whole trip. The place where you will stay is like a park with several plantations around it, and you choose a place to set up the picnic next to a large tree. You spend the afternoon talking, dating, and eating the food he brought. He invites you to take a walk around and you pick flowers that will end up becoming props in each other's hair and couple rings. You decorate his hair with flowers and he gets shy when you pick up the camera and keep taking pictures of him saying, "Hey Park Seonghwa, how beautiful you are! I think I understand why you have so many fans, wow I think I'm a lucky woman to have a date with you!". You ask him to sing to you as he lies on your lap, and you keep kissing him on the cheek and fiddling with his hair. As the sun begins to set, you decide to pack up to leave, but not before spending time making out in the car. He leaves you at home, and when you comment that he couldn't have chosen a more beautiful place for your first date, with a sad face he says before you go: "Nothing there was more beautiful than you! You haven't even left and I'm already missing you, what should I do! What if we had a second first date tomorrow?"

Mingi

Mingi pensou em muitas coisas para fazer com você num primeiro encontro, mas devido os ensaios e a correria do trabalho, ele acabou tendo que desistir de alguns planos para que os horários de vocês pudessem conciliar. Você então sugeriu que se encontrassem na praia a noite em um dia que ele costuma ficar até tarde no estúdio. Ele adorou a ideia afinal por mais cansado que estivesse, a ideia de ver o sol nascendo com você seria romântico e um encontro perfeito. Você mandou a localização de onde estava e ele chegou todo sorrindo, dizendo que tinha trazido lanches para vocês. Enquanto segurava sua mão ele ficava contando sobre o dia dele, mas nada se comparava a ver os olhinhos dele piscando olhando pra você contar o seu. De tanto ele perguntar se você estava com frio, você responde que sim só pra ver ele todo fofo colocar seu braço sob seus ombros para ter você mais pertinho. Quando o sol começo a aparecer no horizonte, vocês decidem ir pra sua casa num carro de aplicativo. Como você trabalha mais tarde, você pergunta se ele gostaria de fica um tempo no sofá olhando televisão e trocando carinhos. Mingi fica um pouco tímido no começo, mas é só você deitar no peito dele que ele automaticamente começa a fazer carinho no seu cabelo, e em dois minutos vocês já estão trocando beijinhos enquanto ficam sonolentos juntos. Assim que o despertador toca, você levanta pra se arruma pro trabalho mas deixa Mingi dormindo no sofá. E ao sair, deixa um beijinho de batom na bochecha dele, uma chave reserva e um bilhetinho escrito: "Acho que eu adoraria dormir e acordar com você assim, todo dia. O que você acha?"

Mingi thought of many things to do with you on a first date, but due to rehearsals and the rush of work, he ended up having to give up some plans so that your schedules could be reconciled. You then suggested that they meet at the beach at night on a day when he usually stays late at the studio. He loved the idea, after all, no matter how tired he was, the idea of watching the sun rise with you would be romantic and a perfect date. You sent him the location of where he was and he came in all smiling, saying that he had brought you snacks. While holding your hand he kept telling you about his day, but nothing compared to seeing his little eyes blinking looking at you to tell yours. He asks you so much if you were cold, you say yes just to see him all cute put his arm under your shoulders to have you closer. When the sun starts to appear over the horizon, you decide to go home in a ride-hailing car. As you work later, you ask him if he'd like to spend some time on the couch watching television and cuddling. Mingi is a little shy at first, but it's only when you lie on his chest that he automatically starts stroking your hair, and in two minutes you're already kissing each other while you get sleepy together. As soon as the alarm clock rings, you get up to get ready for work but leave Mingi asleep on the couch. And when she leaves, she leaves a lipstick kiss on his cheek, a spare key and a note written: "I think I'd love to go to sleep and wake up with you like this, every day. What do you think?"

Yeosang

Yeosang vai passa o dia anterior e o começo do dia pensando no encontro de vocês. Pra evita que muitas pessoas vejam vocês, você convida ele para irem num pista de patinação de um amigo num horário onde houvessem poucas pessoas. Por ele ser mais tímido, você pensou que seria uma boa ideia sugerir o local do encontro, o que deixo ele bem animado e mais aliviado. Yeosang não tem muita prática com patinação mas adorou a ideia de poder te conduzir e ser seu apoio, podendo passa o passeio todo segurando sua mão. Óbvio que você vai fingir que não tem muita prática só pra pode deixa ele te conduzir e ele ficar todo "olha como você está segura comigo, confia!" Vocês passam uma noite divertida, conversando sobre seus gostos e sobre as pessoas caindo na pista. Você e ele gostam de se ver sorrindo e ele que no início ficou todo tímido de segurar a sua mão, depois fica brincando com seus dedos entrelaçados. Depois vocês decidem ir pegar lanches numa loja de conveniência e irem para algum lugar onde possam ficar conversando e trocando carinhos. Ele é gentil e adorável com você, alimenta você na boca e tudo e no final da noite pergunta se pode te leva até o metro para você ir para casa. Enquanto esperam na estação, ele toca seu cabelo de leve e diz: "Posso pedir algo antes de você ir… Posso ganhar um beijo de despedida?" Segurando o rosto dele entre as suas mãos, você dá um beijinho de leve, escondido de todos, o que faz ele fica todo tímido, e sorrindo olhando pro chão.

Yeosang will spend the day before and the beginning of the day thinking about your date. To prevent too many people from seeing you, you invite him to go to a friend's skating rink at a time when there are few people. Because he's more shy, you thought it would be a good idea to suggest the meeting place, which makes him very excited and more relieved. Yeosang doesn't have a lot of skating practice, but he loved the idea of being able to lead you and be your support, being able to spend the whole tour holding your hand. Obviously, you're going to pretend you don't have much practice just so you can let him lead you and he'll be all "look how safe you are with me, trust!". You spend a fun evening, talking about your tastes and about the people hitting the dance floor. You and he like to see each other smiling and he who at first was all shy to hold your hand, then plays with your intertwined fingers. Then you decide to go get snacks at a convenience store and go somewhere where you can talk and cuddle. He's kind and lovely to you, feeds you in his mouth and everything and at the end of the night asks if he can take you to the subway so you can go home. As they wait at the station, he lightly touches her hair and says, "I can order something before you go… Can I get a kiss goodbye?". Holding his face in your hands, you give him a light kiss, hidden from everyone, which makes him all shy, and smiling looking at the floor.

Wooyoung

Nosso mestre do sabor Wooyoung não vai perder a oportunidade de te ganhar pelo estômago. Como no primeiro encontro de vocês, você convidou ele pra vir na sua casa e ele fala que vai leva as coisas para fazer um jantar para vocês. Você não tem a menor ideia do que fazer, então aguarda ele chega com muitas sacolas e um sorrisão dizendo: "Você mal pode espera, gata!". Ele pergunta se você quer ajuda ele, e enquanto preparam a comida vocês ficam conversando, bebendo e rindo das suas trapalhadas na cozinha. Ele reveza em timidez e alegria em estar ali com você, quando vocês se tocam enquanto estão se auxiliando, ele mal consegue olha pra você, mas fica rindo e passando a língua nos lábios de nervoso. Ele fica todo satisfeito em ver que você vai comer algo feito por ele e fala que agora ele vai ensina você a cozinha. Após o jantar, você pergunta se ele quer dar uma volta pela praça do prédio onde você mora, e vocês ficam andando enquanto dão as mãos e apreciam a paisagem. Ele trouxe a sua câmera então de 5 em 5 minutos ele tira alguma foto sua, de vocês ou da paisagem pra guarda de lembrança. Quando sentam para descansar, ele pergunta se você quer colocar seus pés no colo dele pra ele fazer uma massagem pois você falou que foi um dia cansativo no trabalho. Você acha fofo o jeito como ele cuida de você mesmo enquanto estão ainda se conhecendo e beija a bochecha dele enquanto fala que ele é fofo. No que ele vira, depois de ri colocando a mão na frente do rosto pra esconde a timidez repentina, e diz: "agora um aqui!" apontando pra boca dele.

Our flavor master Wooyoung won't miss the opportunity to win you over by the stomach. Like on your first date, you invited him to your house and he says he'll take things to make dinner for you. You don't have the slightest idea what to do, so you wait for him to arrive with a lot of bags and a smile saying, "You can't wait, babe!". He asks if you want to help him, and while you're preparing the food you're talking, drinking, and laughing at your shenanigans in the kitchen. He takes turns in shyness and joy in being there with you, when you touch each other while you are helping each other, he can barely look at you, but he keeps laughing and running his tongue over his lips nervously. He is very pleased to see that you are going to eat something made by him and says that now he will teach you how to cook. After dinner, you ask him if he wants to take a walk around the square of the building where you live, and you walk around while holding hands and enjoying the scenery. He brought his camera so every 5 minutes he takes a picture of you, the two of you or the landscape for keepsake keeping. When you sit down to rest, he asks if you want to put your feet in his lap so he can give him a massage because you said it was a tiring day at work. You think it's cute the way he takes care of you even while you're still getting to know each other and kisses his cheek while telling him he's cute. On what he turns, after laughing putting his hand in front of his face to hide his sudden shyness, and says: "now one here!" pointing to his mouth.

A Hilariously Low IQ Pro gr///vian Raid On My Blog

(The pictures make this post really long so I'll put them and my words below the "keep reading")

Oh my gosh guys 😂. I don’t look at tumblr for one second, and now I have a ton of hate asks!

This is legitimately hilarious!

Nothing like the toxic side of the Pro fandom shooting themselves in the foot by acting like actual toddlers over me disliking a fictional ship! ^^

But before I get to these funny asks, I have a post I’ve been working on that’ll set the stage for this—the prologue, if you will.

There’s a (very silly) reason I’ve been targeted, and it’s again so amusing.

I can’t wait to post it for y’all’s entertainment! Tumblr drama is always so interesting, isn’t it?

Have a wonderful day, everyone! Even the (specifically, not all) toxic Pros! I sure hope especially y’all can find some happiness outside of being big bad meanies on tumblr. (*´∀`*)

Edit: there’s a bunch of asks I’m getting as I type this that seem to be from the same disgruntled person lol. I think I’ll try to group those asks into one post because I feel like this person is trying to fill my blog with hate.

Edit 2: and if I just get duplicate hate asks (which I have been), I’ll probably just delete those. Not good content for me to keep responding to the same brain-dead message ^^!

Edit 3: change of plans: I’ll be screenshotting all the asks and making one mega post about it since it’s one person. Hope to post it soon!

Okay, sooooo, in the wake of so much sadness and negativity — I wanted to do something to boost all of our spirits and make us feel happy, etc.

Rules are simple: Tag five people and say one thing you love about each of them. The people who get the tags (no pressure) just follows the same thing (tag five) to keep the love train going ❤️💋

If I could tag all of my moots in one post — I would! But alas, I’m gonna stick with a small number to prevent glitches. And it’s easier when you’re tagged, less overwhelming ❤️ But know I still plan on mutual love soon, so expect to get a more thorough love message out of the blue if we’re moots (hehe)

@andvys - Always willing to interact and be the sweetest cheerleader. I love you and your soul so much, honey! And I forgive you for the pain you’ve caused Steven, because ily and because your writing is crazy fucking amazing!

@groubee - We bonded instantly and we’ve just clicked in messages. You’ve always been there to console me and bounce ideas back and forth. I adore you tremendously! My fuck you are mega talented!

@littledemondani - You’ve been that bitch for five years with me, and I know that you’ll always be Dani. You’re going through so much lately, but I’m so proud of you!

@stevenose - I really just lose it when you post any kind of writing, because you’re that fucking talented! I love your talent and your soul is just as kind and wonderful!

@loveshotzz - You’re insanely talented and wonderful, and we’ve always just been able to talk without any issues. You’re one of the people that I look up to the most here!

@corrodedcorpses - Abbee, you’re like my literal other half here! You’re the bestest best-friend I could’ve hoped for, and you’re so fucking talented! Like… multi-talented, with a kind and gentle soul. I love you tremendously!

I love all of y’all! And I’m so filled with it tonight I could float into the sky ^_^

[consequencesofargentdawn]

I am a great admirer of your work CoAD, so I want to preface this by asking forgiveness for my boldness.

How did you manage to get a senior PCU officer as an informant/agent for this blog? For my own reasons I have a cause against the PCU and my own associates who are supporting me from within. These associates of mine and said individual tripped over one another when they were gathering information. I will not name the individual, but I am curious whether they have always supported the blog and CoAD or if they had a change of heart due to the nefarious deeds of the PCU.

My associates didn't mean to disrupt any activities, our causes and intentions aren't dissimilar so I would like to apologise for that. There are putrid individuals within the PCU who did things to someone I cared about deeply that are unforgivable.

As you've commented there are so many cracks within the fortified wall that the PCU have erected to the point that a few more knocks will shatter it and the whole project will collapse. When it does, the various factions and personalities in the PCU will begin fighting amongst themselves. They won't be able to hide behind a large baying mob of forum shock troopers or use their unity to defend them.

The individual who I'm concerned with will have nowhere to hide and I will ensure that the whole server knows about his sinister behaviour and crimes against undeserving innocent players.

If I could give you a tip CoAD, I would recommend to continue to look within the PCU. There are players there who ended up there not entirely by choice, but were subjected to the tyranny and regime of the PCU by the power hungry choices and whims of their guild masters and officers. Many of them followed along for fear of harassment and ostracism if they dared to leave while doing no harm to other players. Now they're understanding that they finally have a way out. Ironically, it might be such players who make the strikes that will shatter the wall from within.

Perroy will have no positive legacy and the dark shadow he tried to cast over Argent Dawn will soon be brought down forever. As for his enablers and those who actively did his bidding to further their own power, ambition and internet clout I have the following message: You know your walls are crumbling, your master isn't here to protect it and you will face the consequences for your vile actions.

This is quite the detailed post already so we shall try to be succinct and to the point as much as possible. Our 'senior PCU officer' is actually one of our editors and was hardly a 'senior' member at the time. They were one of the officers in the opening stages of the PCU, back when it was seen more as a 'light hearted in-joke' that turned into something far more foul. We asked them if they were okay with us expressing their reasons for dissatisfaction. Which are as follows:

"Largely, there were a few of us who were against the idea of the PCU being a formal thing, it was started as a joke in voice chat that got into Perroy's mind clearly. One of our regulars even spent almost an all nighter with Perroy on and off trying to get him to reconsider it; obviously failing. What got me was the, as best as I can call it, 'Rotgardification' of the other guilds. RG boys were put in positions to hold the reins so to speak when Perroy wasn't about and there was a standardization process put in place. Which included the mega cringe stuff like mandatory upvoting and ERP witch hunts which incidentally got a friend of mine suspended temporarily because harassing other players, even those doing stuff they shouldn't really be doing, isn't a good look for Blizzard gms. I guess the straw that broke the back for me; was seeing /pol/ tier arguments happening between members and it really seemed more like the PCU was being made into a tool to harm RP rather than promote it. I made some bs up about my hours at work picking up too much and I quietly left. Race changed every single character I had associated with them; probably a good idea since now it looks like even former association with them is rightfully seen as a big red flag."

To answer thus the question, our former PCU member turned editor saw the writing on the wall early on and decided to leave after seeing how bad things were getting. We have over time had many former PCU members reach out to us and offer us insights into the minds and operations of the collective. The greatest irony is the most prolific contributors against the PCU are the PCU itself.

We are well aware that there are those who ended up inside the PCU not of their own choosing, but if a former leading officer inside one of their guilds can leave then a normal rank and file can leave much easier without causing a stir. As it stands the PCU big names know that their time is up, what is left is functionally operating on what little good will is left inside the group and the diehard 'vanguard' element which will never publicly show themselves as weak where they can. The problem with the latter group is that the vanguard elements were never large to begin with, ironically even inside the Rotgarde itself. Several vanguardist minded guilds have all but failed spectacularly because these people are more about the idea of rping than actually rping. Highblood Myrmidons, Blood of Martyrs, Eternal Sisterhood have all imploded through a mixture of ennui and purity testing drama. There are two vanguardist type guilds left in the PCU, the most prominent being Grim Gest and Ardent Pursuit, the second of which is borderline moribund as well. At this stage it's just watching the sad and quiet end of the PCU spiralling the drain as it tries to find some sort of redeeming quality to itself.

[techiebrots]

Hello so I’m going to be word vomiting in your ask box due to the beloved archive being down and I have thoughts tm about B team that weee caused by your drawings + others and also because you artist need to get an ask that is just a mega laser kung pow penis beam of love for what you create and I’m here to do that

B team look so friend-shaped! The way you draw them, with softer corners but keeping lines straight and the flat muted colors that are still bright and draws the eyes’ attention/greys which are layered in such a nice way

I also see the checkered orange-yellow blanket

ham is such a soft shade of pink which is easy on the eyes but is more vibrant than Peni and Noir (Morse obvious in noir and the contrasts between noir and ham is sooo good, opposite spectrums of color)

he’s more humanoid but he’s still cartoony and the way you draw him just fits so well with B team. A wonderful balance

Him and Peni together are just great, they’re probably incredibly chatty and Ham would get Peni more since he’s more in tuned with technology unlike noir’s old man soul

Peni having a round face in the artwork of B team napping together resonates with me, she looks so comfortable napping with her dads

also the doodles of ham and her brushing their teeth (or in ham’s case his eyes), her drinking out of her #1 daughter mug, and noir ruffling her hair :D the daughter and her two dads <3

noir! Dad and friend-shaped. Your rendition of him unmasked makes him so handsome and pretty, like he reminds me of the dad from my neighbors Totoro- except more worn out lol

The drawing you did of that fanfic where B team are chilling with Hobie and Noir listens to some of his music- that has been keeping me GOING through the blackout

he’s holding his hat next to his face and is one sentence away from hiding his face while ham is one moment looking at noir’s face from having his eyes turning into hearts

Im not really a writer that can put how much I adore the drawings into words that perfectly articulate every last thought I have but I hope I did pretty well and sound vaguely comprehensivable and that tumblr didn’t say something was wrong with send- god I had to rewrite this thing once already-

HOLY FUCKING SHIT- UH THANKS! At first I thought this ask was just headcanons of team b and I was so ready to hear you out

While reading through this I got just a small idea of team b and decided to draw it out, which will be posted soon after this so thanks for the brief idea

Now here’s where I say my OWN incomprehensible ramblings so yay more text!

I have NEVER had someone inspect my art or at least told me they have so thanks! I am currently freaking the fuck out and going crazy actually, I have like five messages to my friend freaking out about this ask, and I WILL be rereading this every minute of the day

I have a lot of drawings of them all that will never see the light of day, mostly since they’re warmup drawings and I’m still figuring out how to draw them all consistently but I’m having fun. I mostly based ham off of how he looks in in comics since I love how silly he looks in them and also taking inspiration off of other artists who draw him.

Now here’s the fun part about that exact napping post you’re talking about, that post almost never got made. Like I completely abandoned the idea at first since I didn’t like the first sketch I made of it and almost discarded the idea a couple more times during the process of making it since I had a different idea in my head of what it was supposed to be. Even when i was done with it I was thinking of just not posting it since I didn’t completely like it myself, but now here we are with it being my most popular post. I like the drawing now since I pretty sure I was just staring at it for too long

AND THAT FIC DRAWING- WIZARD MAKES GREAT FICS! I keep rereading them and I will probably go back and read them AGAIN once archive is up and running, I have ideas for some of their fics to draw out but nothing concrete yet

Anyways in short i fucking appreciate this so much thanks! I am currently vomiting everywhere

How Extra Cloud Storage Saves Your WhatsApp Connections

The free Google Cloud storage space provided to Android users for keeping their conversation history, including photos and videos, is being discontinued by the social networking app WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta. Google Drive WhatsApp data will count against the 15GB space limit, or users may join up for Google One.

The Growth of WhatsApp and Issues with Storage: The well-known messaging program WhatsApp has over 2 billion users globally and has seen rapid development in recent years. When users exchange an increasing amount of images, movies, and other information, WhatsApp’s 5GB free storage might easily run out. This is when having additional cloud storage becomes necessary.

“As an important heads up, WhatsApp backups on Android will soon start counting toward your Google Account cloud storage limit, similar to how WhatsApp backups are handled on other mobile platforms,” Google noted in a post in November, giving users terrifying information about the upcoming changes. Begin in December 2023, WhatsApp Beta users will be the first to experience this upgrade. All Android users of WhatsApp will then progressively get it beginning in the early part of the next year.”

Advantages of Adding More Cloud Storage: Prevent Storage Warnings and Data Loss: You won’t have to worry about going over storage capacity and maybe losing crucial media or communications if you have additional storage.

Peace of Mind: Being able to share without limitations and having adequate storage might provide you with peace of mind.

Device-Unity Accessibility: Cloud storage is easy and versatile since it enables you to access your data from any device.

Potential Cost Savings: Depending on your requirements, a cloud storage subscription may be less expensive than regularly purchasing more capacity from WhatsApp.

Considerations for Cloud Storage Selection: Storage Capacity: What level of storage capacity do you require? Think about your use patterns now and in the future. Cost: various cloud storage options are available at various price points from different providers. To choose an option that meets your budget, compare choices. Security: Select a reliable supplier that has robust security protocols in place to safeguard your information. In order to guarantee that you can access your data from any device or location at any time, consider accessibility. Usability: The platform need to be simple to use and intuitive to traverse. WhatsApp stated the new modifications would roll out to all users in 2024 and alert users 30 days in advance with a banner under WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Chat backup.

The notification that “Backups will start using your Google storage in the next few months” is now shown in our version of the WhatsApp Beta client.

Frequently Used Cloud Storage Choices: Google Drive iCloud Microsoft OneDrive Dropbox Mega Extra Advice: Make sure you often backup your critical WhatsApp data to your preferred cloud storage platform. To make room on your smartphone, delete any material and conversations that aren’t needed. Turn off media downloads on autopilot, particularly in group conversations. If storage is a big worry, think about using WhatsApp Lite or another lighter edition. FAQS: How do you control the storage on WhatsApp without purchasing a Google One subscription? Although purchasing a Google One subscription is the apparent option for WhatsApp users who utilize more storage than the 15GB restriction, the firm still allows users to move data across Android devices.

WhatsApp’s finest cloud storage platform? Google Drive, iCloud, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and Mega are a few of the well-liked choices. Consider security, usability, accessibility, and device compatibility while evaluating each.

How do I create a cloud backup of my WhatsApp data? Depending on the platform you choose, the procedure changes. For simple data transmission, the majority provide online interfaces and mobile applications. For precise actions, see the instructions provided by that particular supplier.

What are the advantages of more cloud storage for WhatsApp? Apart from preventing storage alerts and possible data loss, it offers convenience across platforms, cost savings, and piece of mind as compared to continuously purchasing WhatsApp storage.

Is it possible to reduce WhatsApp’s storage utilization without adding more cloud storage? Indeed! If storage is a big problem, regularly delete pointless messages and material, turn off automatic media downloads, and use a lighter version like WhatsApp Lite.

For instance, users may utilize the WhatsApp conversation transfer option while switching to a new Android device if they don’t want to save their chat history on their Google account.

It’s important to remember that because WhatsApp doesn’t provide free storage on iOS, these changes will solely impact Android users. Moreover, Google provides 15GB of free storage to its non-paying customers, whereas Apple only provides 5GB.

Yang's Big Gap Year

Author's Note: Here's the hefty part 5 I mentioned in my last post. That's all for the 2020 writing challenge. Once I get through a year's worth of old posts, you'll see the one I did in 2021. Didn't do one in 2022 though, was way too busy for that.

Winter:

Yang was always a sucker for a pun, even if it was a little weak, so of course she had to stop at an ice cream place called ‘Neo’s Politan’. It didn’t matter that it was the middle of winter, the pun, her sweet tooth, and a desire to duck in somewhere a little warmer than it was outside won out. She pulled her motorbike in and her helmet off, shaking her long blonde hair out before stepping inside. A little bell rang, getting the attention of a young woman at the counter. Clearly the woman was playing into the theme, with her pink and brown hair and her white jacket. Yang strode up to the counter and took a seat, setting her helmet on the bench.

“Hey, don’t suppose you’re Neo, are ya?” Yang asked cheerily. The multicoloured woman nodded and tapped a sign on the counter with her black gloved finger. Yang leant over to read it.

Hi, I’m Neo

I’m mute, but I can communicate with Valean Sign Language or Text-to-Speech

Let me know what works for you

“Valean Sign Language, huh? I’d always meant to learn that some time. Gonna need the text-to-speech though,” Yang answered. Neo tapped out a message for her scroll to read out.

“What would you like to have?” the robotic voice read out. Yang craned her neck up to read the menu, putting a lot of thought into it.

“Hmm... I think... Eh, screw it, go for the Mega Sundae, and toss all the extras on,” Yang said confidently. Neo nodded and got to making it. Neo was surprisingly quick, putting together the mountain of ice cream in no time, with the sprinkles, chocolate chips, chocolate and strawberry sauces and the whipped cream going on top just as quick. “Man, this time last year, I’d never think of getting something like this, but it’s my gap year, so screw it,” Yang admitted, before taking her spoon and digging in. Neo watched the beautiful blonde stuff her face full of ice cream, not really having anything better to do. Yang ate with surprising speed, making Neo smile with delight that her ice cream was good enough to power through like this. About half way through the ice cream, Yang unzipped her dark brown leather jacket, showing her orange t-shirt underneath, which was starting to show a tiny hint of snugness around a slightly rounded belly. Then, Yang was back at it, motoring through her ice cream. Neo covered her mouth with her hand to hide her biting her lip, as she was definitely liking what she was seeing. After that, Yang was soon done with her monster of a sundae, and now she was just scraping at the bottom of the bowl for the last little dregs of ice cream and sauce.

“Impressive,” said the robot voice from Neo’s Scroll. Yang looked up to see Neo smirking.

“Psh, if you think I’m a quick eater, you should see my sister. She might be the only person I know who eats quicker than me,” Yang said as she patted her belly. “Still, with ice cream that good, I don’t know how you’re meant to eat it slow. I gotta remember to swing by here whenever I’m nearby. I’m doing some travelling this year, so I should be swinging by every once in a while.”

“An appetite like yours is always welcome,” Neo’s scroll read out, with Neo putting on a playful smile.

“Say, I think I’m gonna try to learn VSL for next time I’m here,” Yang mentioned. “Don’t suppose you could teach me how to sign ‘cute store owner’, could you?” she teased. Neo rolled her eyes, before beginning to sign it out. Yang did her best to follow along, and it took a few goes before she felt like she was getting it.

“You know you don't need sign language to talk to me, right?'', Neo's Scroll said.

“Yeah, I know,” Yang agreed, before hopping off her seat with a groan. “Welp, better get back on the road,” she added, before grabbing her helmet. “I’ll see you around, Neo.” And with that, Yang was out the door, cradling her full belly as she put her helmet back on, cramming her long hair inside, and doing up her jacket.

As Neo watched Yang leave, she hoped that she would indeed end up seeing more of Yang, in more than one way.

---

Spring:

The trees behind Neo’s little ice cream place looked much nicer with the flowers blossoming, Yang thought as she pulled up into the parking lot. No wonder this route was considered the scenic route. Sure, it would have been quicker to go another way, but that highway would’ve been busier, not looked as nice, and there wouldn’t have been a nice ice cream place like this on the side of the road.

As Yang hopped off her bike, she loosened her belt in preparation for the vast quantity of ice cream she was planning on putting inside her. The belt was already plenty looser than she used to wear it, as the last few months had helped her fill out her jeans more. In fact, it took loosening the belt for Yang’s muffin top to go away. Yang’s bra also felt a little snugger than she would like, but it wasn’t like that was going to be an issue right now.

Yang sauntered into the store, waiting until the bell rang and she caught Neo’s attention before signing to her.

“Hello cute store owner.” Reading Yang’s somewhat clumsy signing, Neo couldn’t help but smile.

“Flatterer,” Neo signed back as Yang took her helmet off and sat down at the bench.

“Uh, sorry, I don’t know that sign,” Yang said sheepishly. “I’m still pretty new at this.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Neo’s Scroll said, before Neo typed out another message. “What would you like?”

“I mean, I gotta go for the Mega Sundae again,” Yang said, as if it was obvious. “Although, this time I think I’m gonna have two of them.” Neo’s eyes went wide with surprise.

“Are you serious?” Neo’s Scroll said, not capturing Neo’s incredulousness quite as well as her face did.

“Yep, two,” Yang said confidently.

“Why two?” Neo’s Scroll queried. Yang paused for a moment, before answering as Neo got to work making Yang’s sundaes.

“Eh, I doubt you’re gonna tell anyone. I’m doing it because I’m letting myself go this year,” Yang revealed. “All through high school I’d been on a bunch of sports teams and I was always the hot, buff one, and... well... I wanted to try something different. So, I’m not bothering with working out, I’m eating as much as I want and whatever I want, and it’s great. I’ll probably need to size up a few times before this year’s up, but, eh, I’m good for it.”

As Neo absorbed this information, she began to find her mind wandering, wandering to images of a much larger, fatter Yang, barely contained and covered by her clothes, waddling into her store wanting a literal mountain of ice cream. Needless to say, Neo very much liked that mental image, but she was reluctant to mention any of that to Yang, for fear of making this staff/patron relationship too weird and losing a cute customer. So, Neo just nodded as she served up Yang’s first sundae.

“Ooh, yum, thanks Neo!” Yang cheered before grabbing her spoon and digging in. It may have been a case of wishful thinking, but Neo could’ve sworn that Yang was even more enthusiastic about this ice cream, and was eating it even faster. Watching Yang power through her sundae was, honestly, distracting. She almost forgot about the second sundae she was meant to be making for Yang. Fortunately, the sheer size of the sundae Yang was ploughing through gave Neo enough time to refocus and finish making the second sundae. She was glad that Yang was the only one here, as she could only imagine what anyone watching this situation would think. She just hoped that Yang wasn’t catching on to what Neo was thinking.

She slid the second sundae Yang’s way just as Yang finished her first. Yang let out a long breath as she rubbed her belly, making meaty thuds as she patted the taut mass. Then, after that quick breather, Yang was back at it. Neo had never seen anything like this in person before. She was in love, and she knew it. She only hoped that Yang enjoyed this enough to try and do it some more.

A few minutes later, Yang’s second bowl was empty. Yang raised her arms in triumph, making her top ride up and reveal her bloated belly, before letting out what felt like a room-shaking belch.

“Oof, that was a lot of ice cream,” Yang groaned as she rubbed her aching belly. Neo was lucky she was mute, as she didn’t have to worry about anything embarrassing slipping from her mouth. If she could speak, she was certain a ‘wow’ would have snuck out. “Man, I wonder if I can do three next time,” Yang idly wondered, getting Neo’s mind racing. The pair chatted for a little while Yang’s stomach settled, before Yang hauled herself off of her seat and back onto her bike, off onto the open road, leaving Neo to fantasise about what Yang would look like next time she was here.

---

Summer:

One of the few downsides to her bike, Yang realised, was travelling in the rain. Water streaked across her helmet visor and she felt her clothes getting soaked. At least it was summer, so it was a warmer rain, and at least it was late, so no one could see her in such a state. Her bike was motoring down the road, hoping to find something open so she could hide from the rain for a bit, when she saw a familiar site. It was Neo’s Politan, and the site had Yang’s mouth watering already. She pulled in, getting her bike in under the awning and shook herself dry. She noticed her chubby body wobbling as she shook herself, making Yang bite her lip with excitement. It was a good thing she had her helmet on still, as she was worried about how much of a mess she would look in front of Neo. Once she took a breath to relax herself, she slipped her helmet off, shook her hair out and strode into the parlour, trying to look cool as anything.

“Hey Neo. Man, I’m glad I was passing by. It’s so wet outside,” Yang complained as she took a seat by the counter.

“Hello. Could you help me?” Neo signed for Yang, trying to keep her signs as clear as possible.

“Assuming that means what I think it means, yeah, I can totally help. What’s up?”

“I need to empty this and clean it. Can you eat the ice cream from it?” Neo asked. Yang’s eyes widened, unable to hide her excitement.

“Oh, uh, yeah, sure, totally. Want me to just, like, chug it straight from the tap or what?” Yang asked, very much hoping for a yes, but definitely not expecting one. Neo very enthusiastically nodded, before opening the hatch to let Yang behind the counter. It took Yang a moment to process what she and Neo agreed to, but before long she undid her jacket and tossed it on the counter, before coming around. Without her jacket on, Neo could see that Yang’s tank top was starting to ride up, giving her a tantalising glimpse of Yang’s softened midriff. Oh, Neo was going to enjoy this, but little did she know that Yang was going to enjoy it just as much, and little did Yang know how much Neo was going to enjoy this. The two young women were so caught up in how they felt about it, and how much they didn’t want the other to find out, that they were too inside their own heads to pick up on any of the subtle or less-than-subtle clues the two of them were giving out. Neo attached one end of a tube to the soft-serve machine’s nozzle and handed the other to Yang. “Ooh, chugging from a tube, classy,” Yang said sarcastically. Neo let out a silent chuckle as Yang brought the tube to her mouth.

“Are you ready?” Neo signed. Yang nodded, and with that, Neo turned on the machine. It was coming quicker than she was prepared for, but she managed to keep up with the flowing ice cream. She chugged and chugged and chugged, silently thanking whichever parent she inherited her near bottomless stomach for ice cream from. The ice cream filled her stomach, making it grow larger and larger by the second, even with all of the padding Yang was already carrying. Before long, the machine was pumping out the last few drops, so Yang signalled for Neo to turn it off, which Neo did. Yang slowly stood upright, letting Neo get a very good look at a very impressive sight. Yang’s belly looked like she had swallowed a basketball whole, shoving her tank top up and popping her jeans button open. Neo did her best to not be outrageously and openly horny in front of Yang, but gods, she loved what she was seeing.

“Oof, that was a lot of ice cream. I look like you knocked me up, but it’s just a hell of an ice cream baby,” Yang groaned, rubbing her taut, aching belly as she spoke. Neo was trembling slightly at the sight. “But man, I really gotta get some sleep now.” Neo immediately offered Yang her bed while she stayed up and cleaned out the soft serve machine. Yang was more than happy to take her up on that offer and made herself comfortable on Neo’s bed in the back rooms, which was larger than Yang expected. As soon as Neo was gone, Yang let down what little was left of her cool, confident facade as she lay on the bed, groping her ball of a belly with no restraint.

‘Oh, gods, what’s getting into me? I’ve never been this horny in my life, and it’s over stuffing myself silly with ice cream? I gotta figure this out,’ she thought to herself, before having a very pleasurable night.

The next morning, she snuck out quickly and quietly after leaving a note on the front counter promising to be back.

---

Autumn:

As Yang opened the door, letting herself in, Neo was once again stunned by the sight of the increasingly big and beautiful Yang. Every step made Yang jiggle like jelly. Her leather jacket squished her pillowy belly, which poured out the bottom and over the waistband of her jeans. Her jeans were so small on her now that they weren’t even done up properly. Instead, Yang had apparently done something with a hairtie to keep her pants closed, even if the button was very far away from getting to the buttonhole. Her fly was so undone that Neo even managed to catch a glimpse of Yang’s plain black panties. When Yang unzipped her jacket, Neo felt her knees go weak as she watched Yang’s belly spill forth. Despite all of this, Neo did her utmost best to try and keep things professional. After all, Yang was her customer, even if Yang in her current state was far from being anything professional.

“Oh, man, Neo, I hope you fill this bad boy up,” Yang said with swagger in her voice, patting her belly as she sat down on a stool that loudly protested the extra weight Yang was putting on it. “I had a good meal at Burger Hog just down the road, but their ice creams are nothing compared to yours.” Thinking quickly, Neo had an idea, a very fun idea for her and, unknowingly, for Yang too.

“Well, since it’s late, why don’t I just give you all you can eat?” Neo signed out. Yang’s eyes widened a touch.

“Oh, sweet, I think I understood all of that. Hell yeah, I’ll take all I can eat. Just a warning, though, I can eat a hell of a lot,” Yang bragged. While Neo did want to fill Yang up to satisfy her secret urges, hearing Yang’s confidence made Neo want to see just how much Yang could, in fact, eat. She whipped up a massive bowl of ice cream, with all the extras on top, and served it to Yang as quickly as she could, before getting started on another one. There was no time for conversation now, as Yang was eating like she was starving, moaning, groaning and grunting all the while. It was such a display of unbridled gluttony that Neo kept finding herself distracted, wanting to just sit and watch Yang make a mess of herself.

Once Yang got through that first bowl, she was onto the next, and the next and the next and so on and so on. Yang managed to keep eating for so long that Neo closed the store before Yang was full. Of course, Neo kept Yang around. After all, Yang wasn’t full yet, and Neo wanted to find Yang’s limit. When she popped around the counter to close up the store, she got a look at Yang’s bloating belly, which was pressing against the counter now.

Several bowls later, Yang was finally, finally, starting to feel full. Neither Neo nor Yang knew how many bowls Yang managed to put away, they were only able to tell by the stack Yang was building up, but neither of them cared to check how many it was. All these two cared about was Yang’s very full belly. Yang leaned back and let out the mother of all long, rumbling belches.

“Oh, fuuuuck, I’m so, urp, so fucking stuffed,” Yang said in a breathy voice as she leaned on the bench, giving Neo a view to her cavernous cleavage. Neo did her best to resist the very strong urge to motorboat Yang. Instead, she came up with an idea that was significantly less visibly horny, while still getting to enjoy Yang’s fullness. She came back around from behind the counter and sat on a stool next to Yang. Then, she leant in, pulling Yang’s yellow tank top up enough to free her belly, before rubbing small, slow circles on Yang’s upper belly. Yang let out a moan of pleasure, telling Neo she was doing something right while making her tremble with arousal. “Oh fuck yeah Neo, that’s the spot,” Yang moaned, her voice going way up high as Neo rubbed her overfilled belly. Neo bit her lip and kept up the work, pressing herself into Yang’s soft side. She was about to get her text-to-speech to declare her infatuation with Yang for her, but moments before she could do that, apparently Yang had hit her limit. “Oh, gods, I can’t hide it anymore! Neo, I think you’re sexy as hell and all this ice cream and all this fat is making me so goddamn horny,” Yang moaned, getting the bench in a vice like grip. Neo responded with an immediate kiss, long, passionate and with plenty of roaming hands accompanying it, squeezing every patch of fat her hands could find. Neo guided Yang up and off of her seat as she took Yang into the back room, all the while not breaking the kiss for any longer than a quick breath.

One very loud and passionate night later, the pair were girlfriends. Once Yang finished her trip across Remnant, she promised she would be back to live with her girlfriend.

---

One Year Later:

“Neo, sweetheart, can you help me tie this up?” Yang called out. She was about to start running the shop on her own for the first time after her couple of months of training and helping Neo, but she came up to the one issue she never foresaw, having trouble tying up her apron. Neo staggered out in her pink flannel pyjamas, quickly being awoken by the sight of her sexy-as-hell girlfriend. Yang’s dark jeans were so tight that they left little to the imagination, hugging her irresistibly wide curves and thick thighs, while her bountiful belly spilled over the waistband and made a muffin top that was impossible to ignore, and this was one of Yang’s better fitting jeans. Clearly, their time dating each other had worked miracles on Yang’s fine full figure. Neo really did want to help Yang out, but the first thing Neo did was to walk face first into Yang’s back and wrap her hands around Yang’s round, blubbery belly. “I like my belly too, Neo, but I gotta get this tied up if I wanna open the store,” Yang teased. Neo responded with a quick squeeze, sinking her arms into Yang’s belly, before letting Yang go and actually getting Yang’s apron tied up. Neo left as much slack as she could, hoping that Yang would fill it, and Yang was more than happy to. “So, is there a limit to how much ice cream I can eat while I’m working? Because I’m definitely gonna try to hit that limit.” Neo circled around so that Yang could see her sign.

“It’s winter, have as much ice cream as you want,” Neo answered. “We won’t have very many customers today.”

“Yes! I’m gonna be so stuffed when we close tonight,” Yang cheered. Neo made a big show of fanning her face. Yang stumbling across this little ice cream parlour was the best thing to happen to these two, they both very much agreed.

New Transmission

Time Dilation is a bitch. I know this because I only now receive the message I just sent, receiving it after the message I am receiving right now which is the current message I am typing right now. Shit fucking sucks, and if this is another fucking Precious-Prime-Bauble I'm going to blow so many fuses in my chassis it'll make the laboratory explosion seem like a breezy fucking Data-Wind by comparison. Regardless, my onboard engineers have been calming me with projected statistics for success, so the ultimate destruction of Cybertron will hopefully wait until after I revitalize it first. Shockwave has been unresponsive, refusing to send comms except through the aforementioned (if time has managed to remain linear for you, if not.. regular forementioned? post-formentioned? Whatever.) 3rd option. I believe he is either 1. Trying to sap a kickback of raw communicative energon into his failing brain module (Assuming my hypothesis about his databanks being damaged is correct) or into a personal supply or 2. The autobot engineer hostages are immediately trying to revolt or blow up the medical lab or make the entire living situation on Cybertron irrevocably worse by their mere presence like they usually do.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's that second option, despite his harsh demeanor and refusal of "emotion" (Whatever he means by that) he shares a similar passion for dramatics that I do and probably wants me to watch his Cool Awesome Live Montage from his little Sparkeater-themed Game of Tag that'll cost us several megacycles of energon just to broadcast, or whatever weird shit that strange murderer gets up to. Soundwave, by the order of Starscream (Which is an affront to the chain of command, but I have more important things to handle right now), has been passive aggressively transmitting pictures of Whirl over the EK-MD to Shockwave's monitor whenever he sends visual connection requests.

Now that I think about it (And also having seen this message "precognitively" due to the fucking Light of Primus or whatever the fuck is messing with the EK-MD transmissions), I wouldn't be surprised if those autobot hostages were only brought on by Shockwave specifically so he could hunt them in his half-functional state within his partially-intact lab.. Maybe as a weird test of his own abilities..? He usually doesn't do things like that but it also wouldn't be anywhere near the worst thing he's done, so maybe Starscream was onto something haha!

That's all for now, soon I shall have a dataslate to transcribe these transmissions in as well so if these messages are temporally severed for any massively annoyingly messy Primus-Unicron prophecy reasons I'll at least have a physical back up. It's round, not rectangular, but it has a nice gold finish to it and I'll admit I hold a strange amount of sentimentality to it considering it was the first thing outside the Nemesis that I've been able to get my hands on since I've left. We'll say I conquered it and stole it, even though it was just idly floating around and Lazerbeak happened to retrieve it while monitoring the autoscout, the Nemesis had rammed into it and it got caught on the hull so I guess that technically counts as a ramming assault maneuver? I don't think I ever used a ramming maneuver to deliberately facilitate enemy boarding before, but I'll have to check the datalogs once Shockwave repairs them.

Anyway, if there are no more messages for a while, perhaps investigate that dataslate in a handful of mega/gigacycles, who knows what secrets will be revealed once the future comes and working out the context of these messages becomes more difficult due to the Fog of Time.
