Animezin PH – Medium

What You can expect from me:

The Anime-Lover

I really love anime, and I've loved watching anime since I was in elementary school / since I was a kid! :D

I'd like to share my thoughts and insights on anime through this Tumblr blog.

This is going to be like an online diary for me, but specifically for anime.

My favorite anime(s) are: My Hero Academia, Wind Breaker, Moriarty the Patriot, and Demon Slayer.

The Mental Health Advocate

A quick gist on my background: I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Gender Dysphoria, and C-PTSD.

But despite those diagnoses, I've found my way back into light and peace through an amazing (or should I say ANIME-zin) journey. And I want something similar for everyone, because everyone deserves love, patience, kindness, and care.

A lot of inspiration I got from anime. A lot of foundations built were from anime.

And in this blog, I am not just going to talk about anime and random thoughts (though some posts will be like that), but I will mainly add the twist of talking about mental health with anime!

With that,

I would like to thank you all in advance for your future support and love!

I really plan to build a community that's a safe space for many anime fans. My main target are Filipino anime fans because I, too, am Filipino, and I think Mental Health Awareness should really be spread here in the Philippines, but of course, I will not limit this community to them! :D

I hope we can all make this dream of mine come true! <3

I am still preparing my YouTube Channel for video content similar to the theme of this blog. But you can subscribe already here: Animezin PH - YouTube

(I'm actually going to start learning animation... aaaaa im excited!)

By the way,

Why don't we get to know one another better? :DD

Just for fun, I want to ask:

Depending on your answers, I could make more posts on that anime! I would also love to watch new anime not in the choices above and see what I could learn from them and you all!

Ko-fi donations

If you enjoy my posts, or just love what I'm doing like spreading mental health through anime, I'd be super grateful if you'd consider buying me a coffee (or two)!! ☕️☕️ :D

Every little bit helps me create more anime-mental health-inspired content!

Your support means the world to me, and it allows me to keep doing what I love!

Thank you so much for being a part of this ANIMEZIN journey with me! Whether you can donate, reblog, or share the link, it all helps!

Hi Strawbetty! Sorry I haven't sent many asks these past 2ish weeks, life got a little busy😓. How have you been?

I took some time to catch up on your blog and so much has happened!

First of all, "The Birthday Lion" is so good! I love how you showed a bit of Leona's past, it's a good mix of nostalgic and sad, but also helps highlight how happy he is now with MC. Makes me want to shower him in love!

Second of all, congrats on pulling Leona's bday card! 🥳

Third of all, I agree with all your thoughts on that Leona fact sheet! Reading the fact sheet plus your thoughts really helps highlight how complex of a character Leona is.

"A Birthday Invitation" is so adorably funny! Malleus vs Leona but a friendship is born instead haha.

Congrats on groovying (is that an actual term haha) your first card! That's one of my favourite Leona cards, how could anyone resist giving him head pats.

I apologize for the long-winded ask! I hope you have been taking care of yourself and have a great week ahead! - mint anon

🍓💌 Strawbetty replied to your letter!

My thoughts from reading and reblogging a Leona’s fact sheet

“A Birthday Invitation” short story

Strawbetty’s Stickynotes: Groovying Leona’s SR Ceremonial Robes Card

Hi, mint anon! I hope that life is treating you well despite all the busyness, and thank you for stopping by when you can :). I’ve been pretty busy myself and I think August will be a slower month for me in terms of writing and publishing stories.

So much has happened, indeed! Thank you for loving “The Birthday Lion”! I wasn’t sure how Leona’s interview with Malleus would run down in the JP Server, but I really wanted to write a lil dialogue about the two of them talking about gargoyles and chess pieces haha. And yea, this lion man needs to be showered with lots of love🤧💖. Honestly the birthdays in TWST confuse me because I’m not sure if Leona’s still 20, 21 now in the EN Server, or 22-23 if we’re going by JP Server. If you or someone else reading this would like to clarify that for me, that would be very helpful.

I hope you got to pull Leona’s b-day card as well! Also thank you for reading my reblog and analysis on Leona’s fact sheet. A lot of people on this app have already done analyses on Leona that are super cool, so I hope I contributed to that with my moon-phases analogy lol. We truly do need an Afterglow/Sunset Savannah event to get to know Leona’s family and Leona himself more.

As for “A Birthday Invitiation,” thank you for finding it funny! I wrote it on this app’s drafts the second after I found out the news that Malleus would be Leona’s interviewer and pie-thrower. I love the Diasomnia family dynamic between Malleus, Lilia, Silver and Sebek. I hope I portrayed them well even if it was just a short story.

I don’t know if “groovying” is an actual term but I’m gonna use it too lol! Leona’s SR Ceremonial Robes card was one of my first cards in TWST so it holds a special place in my heart as well.

No need to apologize for anything, mint anon! As you can see, this “letter” I’m writing to you is pretty long too. I love catching up with you and I hope you have a great August going forward :).

Sincerely,

🍓Strawbetty

Note: Instead of posting a meta or a fic today, allow me to take a quick break from that because I think I really need to appreciate some people here and the fandom overall.  

February 7, 2021. 

Today, I turned 24 and my boyfriend surprised me with a gift I think I’ll be taking to heart for a very long time. 

The story behind the gift was as precious (or even more precious) as the gift itself and I thought I’d share it since it turned out some content creators were involved in this gift and I very much want to express how much this gift has defined this day for me and will place my 24th birthday as one of those birthdays I don’t think I’ll ever forget. 

Apparently, I had casually dropped both my tumblr and my ao3 account during one of our conversations and somewhere around November he had started looking through my bookmarks, my posts on tumblr and some of my interactions with people in the fandom.

I should have seen it coming. It had started with my boyfriend suddenly asking about my hyperfixation with Levihan.

Sav? Shipping? Sav? Binge reading ships and meta posts? Sav? Gushing about a fictional ship?

And I remember gushing about this with my seemingly uninterested boyfriend a long night after explaining what was oddly the most out of character thing for someone like me. 

I was sharing with him my metas and hcs and maybe, I was dropping a few of my favorite quotes along the way and it turned out he was interested. Suddenly he was asking me about my favorite fics, my favorite scenes. Suddenly, he was rereading my favorite fics with me and a few times, he was quoting those same scenes. I did find out he was looking through my blog when I got a random message from a really sketchy tumblr telling me to open my facebook. 

I suspected a few times that he could be planning something. December passed with nothing and eventually he stopped asking so I clocked that as a fevered dream or unnecessary assuming on my end and didn’t think too much of it after. 

It turned out my boyfriend had messaged my favorite authors about their fics and he commissioned one of my favorite artists (if not my favorite) to draw a few photos and bound them into a Levihan Anthology 

And it feels fucking amazing to receive something like this. To get Levihan which helped me through the worst of 2020, bound forever as a book I can just open up and read anytime. And I guess tearing up at receiving such a gift had me thinking of a lot of things at once (which were always at the back of mind) but I thought of sharing now. 

The past year wasn’t easy. Actually. don’t think it’s an understatement to say this past year was dog shit. With the covid pandemic and all plans after that cancelled, I’m sure we can all agree we had our ups and downs. 

I had a lot of my own plans completely thrown out the window for numerous reasons. I had plans of going to law school part time while building a career. And, I got a job right after college to make these plans come true. In September the law school I got accepted to (after working so damn hard the past year to get accepted) denied my appeal for night classes. I decided to drop my enrollment to focus on my career. A week later, my job laid me off. 

And for once in my life, I wasn’t going anywhere. And I lived in a house where everyone was always doing something and as soon as I lost my job I was pressured to find another one. But as we all know, searching for a job during this pandemic isn’t easy. I was still reeling after having dropped my enrollment just to focus on my job only to lose that job the week after with no prior notice. Everyone around me was busy doing their own thing. I had no one to talk to and for a while, I was falling into this pit of depression. 

My days consisted of me hiding under the covers of my bed in between the few interviews I would take day to day. Around that time, I decided to binge watch Attack on Titan as well 

I was never one to get hyper fixated in ships. In fact, this was the first ship since Royai and Victuuri which I have been so passionate. And this is a whole new level of passion. I think this is the first time I’ve ever written so much in this small amount of time. It was slow going. Just like Levi and Hange’s relationship, my fixation with this ship was a slowburn. 

Those days alone, I was reading fanfiction by the bundle, I was scrolling through the Levihan tag like a simp, leaving kudos in ao3 on a throwaway account and just scrolling through random people’s tumblr accounts. 

What happened during the one month? And when I was alone, sad, lonely and stagnant with no one to talk to, when everyone around me was living their own lives, all I had alone in the bedroom was Levi and Hange’s stories to keep me company between interviews. 

And the meta analyses and headcanons I had about their relationship were teaching me things. They were teaching me that life was never about how quickly you progress or how far you go. Maybe the real winners in life are the ones who can build good relationships, build relationships so mutually satisfying they keep each other growing and in those few moments reading, headcanoning ships, I did realize, maybe even as stagnant as I was at that moment, my life wasn’t dogshit. 

No one’s life is dogshit for a few small bumps along the way. Sometimes it just is part of the process of growing, learning to get past the worse, learning to manage relationships. And maybe it’s these relationships which make life worth living. Maybe it’s these struggles depicted in these stories and the bounce back. Maybe it’s the love, the life, the emotions so carefully described and depicted in every single story which makes life, life. 

With every single fic I read and every single fan art I scrolled through. Levihan was teaching my things about love, loss and life. 

Sometimes, these fandoms are the things which can catch people before they fall too low into something. These works and stories authors and artists shared so generously were what pulled me out of this state and are what inspired me to explore this relationship for all the potential its worth and maybe share my own stories and headcanons which people may learn a thing or two from or maybe just find some comfort and hope in.  

And these inspirations eventually evolved to writing. Writing 10,000 words in a day in between three interviews? I never was a writer but somehow, I found myself spending hours exploring the themes of love, loss and life with our favorite pairing 

I didn’t start writing out of nowhere. I didn’t start making metas out of nowhere. I needed the right inspiration, the right content to get me into this point where I could continue writing, reading, meta-ing, appreciating, headcanoning and everything in between.

And I just wanted to express my gratefulness to every single person in the fandom who had made it possible for me to pull out of that blackhole. Fandoms are underrated and I believe there are so many lessons which can be learned from the right content and from the right people. 

To the people who so willingly went along with my boyfriend’s little project: 

@faerielleart​ I saved A LOT of your art and they’re sitting in my google photos under a folder called Levihan and maybe I did share a few of your photos (the cheeks one and the beast titan one and the les miserables) ones to my boyfriend unsolicited just to show him how beautiful Levihan can be. Thank you so much for these beautiful drawings.

@lizaloveslevihan​ You were one of the first people I talked with in this fandom and dreams really was one of those stories that fucked me up a little bit, had me make a few misses on the commute on the way home one day but maybe it did have me explore the angst genre a little more, maybe it did have me explore Levi’s character a little more. 

@ariadneamare​ YELLOW. OH GOD. You know those letters? The ones which Hange left Levi at the end of the story? I ended up copying and pasting them and sending them to my boyfriend right after reading and I remember talking to him about this. We might be facing that same type of story in the future and I guess that ended up becoming a lot of foundation of our discussion and I guess, it’s just proof that there is so much to learn from fanfiction. There’s just so much to explore and fanfiction as a genre just does not get the credit it deserves.

@fanmoose12​​ I was exploring your works even before I started this tumblr up again. Maybe it was even your works which got me building my own headcanons from Levihan and writing from there. And I think I did leave a few anonymous messages telling you how I started exploring other genres because of your fics. Your works got my out of my dark place, it got me exploring a lot of other genres and for that I’m eternally grateful.

And somehow, my boyfriend picked that all up from late night discussions and one-on-one metas. Surprisingly, he wasn’t just playing along to humor his girlfriend. He was exploring the themes of love, life, loss and Levihan right along with me. (And got spoiled about Hange’s death along the way… Oops.) 

And I am eternally grateful for that and I made sure to shower him with a lot of kisses after he kept me in the loop with what has been going on these past few months with his sudden interest in Levihan.

And this huge thank you goes out to all content creators (authors, artists, gif creators, shitposters alike). Sometimes you never know who’s thinking about your work, who’s shoehorning your works and quoting them to their best friends. Sometimes, you never will find out but your work had pulled someone out of a blackhole which they’ve been stuck in and sometimes you never know that your work has been that seemingly small thing that had taught them a lesson in love, life or relationships. Sometimes, that one work turned out to be an inspiration which got them writing and sharing their own stories or making their own drawings

And I guess, the point is, keep writing. Keep drawing. Keep sharing pouring your love, passion and emotions into works of art because you never really know whose heart you touched or whose life you changed.

I have a job now. I decided to push law school a few years back and maybe take the time to work on myself now and maybe spend the next months or maybe years writing metas and fanfictions. I was pulled out of my hole. I was inspired. I have my own stories to tell and I don’t think I would have been here if I hadn’t spent the last few months reading fic after fic, meta after meta, appreciating art after art, 

So anyway, I just wanted to share some pics of my favortie fics, immortalized in one anthology, all organized by my boyfriend. And I think he made some great decisions with these.

My main LI is Gavin, therefore I might not be the right person for asks regarding other LIs. If you still want to, then you can surely go ahead. I will still try my best to dig out the most accurate answer I can and maybe learn myself a thing or two during the process ^_^

Prefer comments over likes. I LOVE TO READ ABOUT OTHER'S opinions! 💕 All the better if these are the opinions of fellow Gavin-stans! 🎐🎐🎐

INTERACTION RULES:

Be respectful.

Be respectful!!

Please keep your comments short and simple. You can use your own blog for your essays ^_^

Please don't try to sell me your LI. It creates the opposite effect.

This blog compares, criticizes and ranks LIs and events. If you're sensitive towards this kind of material stear clear.

Beware that me blocking you means all your comments under my posts will be deleted by Tumblr... So no one will be able to see them. Please think twice before breaking my rules 😉

Be respectful!!! (third time's a charm 😉)

Though I won't be playing the game on a regular basis soon due to the inconvenient series of fiasco occurred in the span of last couple of months (it just damaged the joy of playing this game) I will still check the dates, main story and the events.

Coming up...

- Top 10 Lucien Moments (for his birthday)

- Gavin x MC S1 storyline Part 5

- Kiro's lore analysis (yes, I will be finishing it!)

Analysis on the Main Story

This is where I store my heavy artillery and everything that's Canon in the main story.

An extremely detailed story summary of Gavin and MC can be found under this section.

My Gavin manifesto that includes all of the reasons why MC favors Gavin romantically in S1 is also here.

You can find the character analyses on other LIs too. Heavy artillery... Yep ^_^

Anime

Koi to Producer was where I first saw Gavin and fell in love with him at first sight. But it's also how I got introduced to MLQC and thus otome games.

In case you didn't know, the anime favors Gavin big time and harbors many beautiful moments and you can find my picks in this corner.

Headcanons

Heart wants what it wants and sometimes PG takes another route than what my heart would desire. In those cases I put my thoughts in motion and this is where you can find the ideal MLQC universe that lays in my heart.

Collections

You might find some series here or an ensemble of various things with commonalities. Sometimes I rank stuff and put them here.

Miscellaneous

Small moments when a lightbulb flashes in my mind and it becomes a post.

These are usually tiny bits.

Asks

My personal favorite part on this blog, when you guys contact me directly and I can see what are the things that spark your interest and bring you here. ^_^

Twitch Sessions with Joe

Those were the days huh? Joe Zieja was the first ENG VA for Gavin and did a fantastic job.

He interacted with us producers on his Twitch sessions where lots of interesting moments took place. You can hop on this memory train here and try not to cry 😭😅

[diveronarpg]

Congratulations, NAY! You’ve been accepted for the role of JULIET. Admin Minnie: My arms are wide open for you to return to us, Nay! I am so unbelievably thrilled to have your Juliana join us again. You capture her completely, without reservation and without a bit of doubt — and for good reason. You understand Juliana in a way that honestly leaves me speechless. And the fact that you wrote a whole new app that incorporated the darkness you’ve discovered in Juliana along the way? The potential, the precipice that she stands on now with so much to lose and even more to gain? Wow. Nay, I’m so glad you’re back. I can’t wait to weep reading your writing yet again. Please read over the checklist and send in your blog within 24 hours.

WELCOME TO THE MOB.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Alias | nay.

Age | twenty-one, but my birthday is next month (january 8th!) so i'm already telling people i'm twenty-two. or eighty? spiritually, i'm eighty & i'm knitting these days, so.

Preferred Pronouns | she/her.

Activity Level | my life is something of a circus, i'll be real with you. i live between two houses, i'm trying to get through my final year of undergrad while trying to earn money writing, fighting mental illness (aren't we all?) and basically having a midlife crisis every other week. but, like. an 8. i love y'all such a lot, you can't keep me away ;)

Timezone | gmt+5.

How did you find the RP? | i… don't even remember at this point. it's just home.

Current/Past RP Accounts | to quote Hamlet, act III, scene iii, line 87? no.

IN CHARACTER

Character | juliet / juliana rosa capulet.

J U L I A N A | the name is chosen before she is even born. picked out of a Bible resting askew atop rounded-belly, like a flower from a garden: Juliana. she is named in devotion to the once-suffering patron saint of sickness, Saint Juliana of Nicomedia (now, Naples). she is only a squirming bundle, already carrying a legend of martyrdom through a namesake.

R O S A | what smelt sweeter than a rose? her mother adored them – and thus, there could never be anything sweeter ever again. so sweet, many hearts yearn to pick them. enchanted by the intoxicating perfume, many lovers cut themselves on these thorns.

C A P U L E T | who truly understood the magnitude of a name? a name of Anglo-Saxon origin; coming from a wooded area beside a chapel, hailing from a family who once-lived in a village named Caplewood. a prophecy, then—taken, and bastardized: paupers evolving into the kings, a chapel beside no more than a house to their sins.

What drew you to this character? | i remember fragments of the last time i answered this question. this time, i made it a point not to read my old application, because if i was going to reapply? i wanted to do it the right way, go through the whole process, start on a fresh page. that said, i do recall my own surprise at a reincarnation of juliet capulet being my character of choice. i remember my own poetic gibberish; this romanticisation of colours & versatility, the whole universe inside juliana that causes her so much pain. somehow, after the span of only months of writing her, i can't answer it the same. somehow, a paltry chunk of time has turned an idea i was enchanted by into a person. somehow… it made the experience of reading her biography again, after all this time, a more impactful one. and perhaps that's the mark of rosey being the wretchedly talented wordsmith we must suffer angst for loving, but i found myself picking up on details i had missed, and lines i had forgotten to be arrested by – and somehow, a character i had, swathed in my own contradictory brand of hubris, thought i knew like the back of my hand? she still inspired me. i still had ideas flooding in my head, and love swelling my heart. i think that's the mark of a well-written character, every bit as much as it is an indicator that the character is one you can write with integrity.

thrive. ghost. onlooker, helplessness, obsession, lamented, saint, blood, symbol, succumbing.

isn't it absolutely prophetic?

what draws me to juliana is her complexity, at the heart of it. i love the boundless possibility of her; this dainty, precious, precocious slip of a girl—not just a girl, but not quite a woman yet—and the enormous weight of a last name, which really has nothing on the burden that is the heart she carts around in her chest. there's something peculiar about her, an eeriness about how truly, genuinely tender she is. and as easy as her tenderness is to mistake for weakness, she isn’t. she is the embodiment of love – and much as it is absolutely the greatest source of pain to her, it is her greatest strength. love is what makes her, and it is what has the power to completely undo her: to a different version of herself, harder or softer, or undone.

i’d see it as a great privilege to get to explore her story.

What is a future plot idea you have in mind for the character? |

TRIGGER WARNING: suicide mention, mental illness mention, postpartum depression mention, drowning mention

LOVER / her heart is her biggest strength, just as it is her biggest weakness. it always has been. just like it was her mother's. it's why her father worries so much about her – and how can she begrudge him for it? she worries about herself, too. jia capulet had had a bleeding heart; where had that landed her? six feet under is where. and thus, they worry, worry for the ways that she is her mother's daughter. but juliana worries about the ways in which she is her father's daughter, too. she loves him so dearly, so reverently, that she has been his dutiful puppet. she has been a figurehead, a symbol, a caricature. she has smiled… she has been smiling for an eternity, for an audience that never stops watching. she worries, still, about how much war steals: time, and lives, and this city that is their home. there is some irony to it, she thinks; the girl they say has everything, so terrified of loss.

› juliana is so thoroughly a person led by her heart. moreover, she is a compulsive overthinker. she nitpicks (internally, constantly), she analyses, she wonders and lays awake at night plagued by questions she cannot answer, and answers she knows not questions to. it isn't a surprise that her own story — i.e. the people she comes from — is something that weighs on her, heavily, and shapes her, influencing her thoughts, perceptions and choices. 

this is a self-driven plot, i know, but i want to headcanon that her mother, jia, suffered from a devastating case of postpartum depression after she prematurely conceived juliana's little sister. italy is actually a frontrunner in hands-on understanding of mental health without the questionable committing to an institution, but with that said, jia capulet wasn't italian. she was chinese, and didn't grow up in a society where she would at all be open to entertaining the idea of mental illness perpetuated by pregnancy. it is incredibly difficult to help someone who does not want to be helped – and all juliana and cosimo could do for her was pray. and when they failed her, and she and the baby girl were found floating in the lake behind capulet manor, all they could do was hide the story from the world, the first secret between father & daughter. it is a personal headcanon of mine that juliana bears an eerie resemblance to her mother, and that doesn't help the difficulty of separating her own identity from the trauma that's tainted her childhood, and the trauma currently tainting her adolescence.

i'm dying to explore how it produces an adulthood for her. as much as i love a good coming of age story, juliana's needs to be something darker. i want to see what she takes from her parents, what she tucks away, what she tosses aside – and who is left, ultimately, after it all.

ALL MY FLOWERS GREW BACK AS THORNS / two years: that's how long it's been since juliana's world was turned upside down. oh, of course she'd heard the rumours. of course she'd heard snippets of conversations, caught the caution in some eyes, malice in others, in too many others. she had never asked questions for the answers she was given, had she? but an evening in her father's study — cosimo's brows furrowed, and vivianne's arched, expectant — and reality was unveiled, all the same. beneath the cover of those luscious roses, nurtured and adored, was reality. go on, they had urged her. la principessa was to get her hands dirty, to seize the opportunity she had never been brave enough to ask for – and now, those hands bled, reality's gritty red, ruddy & relentless, oozing out of thorn-impalement, those puncture wounds. it stings. it stings, it stings, it stings, over & over. how much can she take?

› the biggest overarching plot-point for juliana's i story that i would so like to explore is the changes in her as the war progresses, and how it transforms her. i genuinely believe that she is, at heart, a good person. she is also, however, a good person who has grown up with a very basic, one-dimensional view of morality and goodness and their opposites, in the way that children are. in large part, that's attributed to the extremely sheltered way juliana has been raised, protected so suffocatingly, and that's why i understand that it hits her and begins to shape her immediately, going from the extreme of being in the dark about everything and then essentially becoming the figurehead for a war that has been going on for way, way longer than she has even known about it. there is a difference between idealism and optimism, and the lesson to understand it is a painful one. i would like to put her through that, and peel back the layers of her naiveté to unveil the woman she must grow into.

GLORY & GORE / verona is falling apart. lives are being lost – innocent, guilty… who is man to decide, what is to be done with Dio's creations? juliana was raised to believe in God. she was raised to respect the universe, to do her duty to spread kindness, to work to spread good fortune where it was lacking and to be generous with it. is a gun in her hand one day meant to change who she is at heart? who is this violence for, for whose good? what is to come of it all? is power ever enough? will it ever be? who will be left standing? will anyone? the streets run too red. this is not her verona.

› i would love to see juliana, at a point, actually take over the reins from cosimo. now, the possible events that could lead up to that as endless: a death, a coup, a voluntary succession? i'm here for any of it. but a plot i'm very interested in is seeing juliana, who has spent a majority of time being rigid, and uncomfortable, too caught up in a holier than thou take on mob reality taking on power and defining it for herself now that the war has begun to very personally take from her – first, the near-assassination of her father, then vivianne's blood on her hands, and now, her beloved rafaella. i want to see how she balances her humanity and diplomacy, if it truly isn't possible to both be in power and not be corrupted by it. i want to see who follows her, who would pledge allegiance to her, and what she would do of those who do not. spicy plot, right?

Are you comfortable with killing off your character? | so long as she dies for love.

IN DEPTH

In-Character Para Sample: 

NOTE: i cheated and stole an excerpt of my own thread for juliana. oops?

Excruciating awareness seemed to be her stock in life. One would think—as, frankly, Juliana herself often did, excruciatingly aware of her mind’s rapid, ricocheting song—that it would be she was used to it by now. But she was no such thing, and it was because of this that she found herself ultimately unable to detach herself from what a companion of hers thought of her, unable to keep from recording even the most minute of details, some of them caught out of the corner of sharp, dark eyes. Even though Juliana Capulet knew that she thought she knew better than to care what anyone thought of her, given how routinely she exploited popular perception for the benefit of her own agenda, she had only ever been able to claim the victory of divorcing what people thought of her from what she knew of herself.

Lately, that hadn’t been feeling like much. A victory, still, but only a half-baked one. One that didn’t keep her from feeling an elementary sort of embarrassed shame, like she was a child who’d got caught with her hand in the cookie-jar. Perhaps that was only because what she knew of herself was a chapter already passed by… and the person who sat in front of Katarina DuPont was not the person she knew. This person was not Juliana alone; they did not sit together to share conversation about art and religion, about culture and cuisine, about music or magic. They sat together: the future Capulet mafiosa and a soldier in the army she would inherit. It was simple and as complicated as that.

At least there will still be wine, Juliana thought, halfheartedly.

Intravenous therapy was more than what was necessary to stay the inner-workings of the heiress’ mind, unfortunately. And there wasn’t enough chilled glasses of it poured down her throat to keep Juliana from wondering what it was that Katarina DuPont knew of her. Whether there was a file out there that encompassed all the myriad reasons in which she was the awful, doubtful fit for leading the Capulet mob, and had been from the first moment that she had finally been told about it. Whether that supposed file would be a less pathetic read even with a couple of pages worth of additional material on a traumatically-revised mindset pressed between its lips in offering. Would it make a difference? After nearly three years worth of distastefully looking down upon a history begun by an ancestor called Lucius Capulet; a man who had taken power into his own hands, with a vengeful spirit burning from years worth of mistreatment setting it alight – and then eating through it, like fire through paper, until what he resented in power-wielding elite that brought as much ruination as it did opulence is what his initiative rotted down to. Three years, and all her judgement bowed its self-righteous head down to was, what? Ah, agony that altered her. A night—one night—and she was no longer the same. Did it make her enlightened, then, to be awoken by her own thirst for vengeance, now – by an insatiable urge for Rallis—and those like him—to suffer as they ought to? Or was she just another hypocrite?

Juliana had always rather liked her eyes. They were so dark, so shadowed by raven-haired lashes casting shade over enigmatic irises, it at least kept her from flustering herself over the blonde being able to read the questions she had no answers for burning darkly within them. At least there was that. It kept her from her own worries clouding the clarity with which her honeyed counterpart answered her question. And for that – oh, for that, Juliana was ever-glad. Eternally, and boundlessly. For as right as she was about their relationship being that of a leader and soldier? She was terribly wrong, as well, for the conviction with which Katarina’s words spilt felt like poetry. They touched her soul. They stirred it. Our cause, the dauntingly tall woman called it. It warmed Juliana’s gut more than even her laugh had done. Every second we live and breathe, gives us a chance to do better. “Yes.” The word was a rough whisper, sounding from the embrace of the swelled walls of her throat. “Yes,” but her own conviction cut through it, exhaled a second time.

“Better is all I want. I –” Would it be a mistake to say it out-loud? Perhaps. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. “Well, I want more than this. For this city I love, for this universe that speaks to my soul, for… these hearts that live in my heart. Better – yes, I do agree, Katarina. I believe, as well. I want more than mindless bloodshed. I want more than fear and terror, more than domination for the sake of domination. I do not know just how clearly you can see it,” wryness laced the words as fluidly as her emotions had done, “I am not my father.”

Then that, too, dissolved. It gave way to gold, still hot & bubbling: “I am another entity entirely. Not a mouth-piece, not a symbol. I am a woman, and one of my word at that. I told you I would tell you why I asked – so here is why, signora. I ask because one of those who hold room in my heart, one of the largest… was nearly lost to me. This war takes and takes. From all of us, Capulets and Montagues and those who watch, who savour, and who suffer. I got out of bed today to work towards better.” Her head canted. Lashes lifted, unveiled those same dark eyes. Juliana let them burn.

“Would you like to join me?”

due to having spent a large portion of her childhood on her own, juliana very early on developed an appreciation for time to herself. many of her interests, in fact, are shaped by it: her love for learning, for one, no matter the subject matter; her attachment to art, an outlet she keeps a secret, locked away in a room no one but herself is privy access to, and; additionally, the amount she talks to and counsels herself to stay sane.

her aesthetic preferences meander on the side of classic, vintage and minimalistic. it is extremely rare for juliana to opt for overt flashiness. she's pearls over diamonds, matte lip-stain in lieu of gloss, and neutral tones apparel over pops of colour.

she is petrified of rabbits, and their evil red eyes. 

juliana enjoys music, but she prefers it not having words.

she has a codependent relationship with coffee. no one with a body this slight has any business throwing back that many shots of espresso, but here she is anyway.

she has never learnt how to swim.

her nails and lips are always red, no matter the outfit. she enjoys having a signature of her own that has nothing to do with anyone else, as if it is her own private act of rebellion.

this is for hayley! @whistlingwillows a dear friend <3333

it’s meant to be a birthday present haha. i just want to shower you in love;;; so thought maybe i could go through as many of your fics and comment on them :^)))

(TO EVERYONE ELSE: please go to @whistlingwillows blog and read her fics!!! they are SO FCKIN GOOD AND AMAZING AND UGH HER MIND (it’s a lot of mcu and her bucky and steve fics are a*. i DEFINITELY RECOMMEND))

i wish you a VERY happy birthday and i hope we stay friends for many more years <3333333333 

i’m going through your masterlist heehee ;)))

ah first off, nice theme! i never could rlly see it before because i’m always on mobile heehee. also sorry for not reviewing them before??? i don’t usually read fics on tumblr as you’ve probably guessed;;

anyways, IM GON REVIEW THE SHIT OUT OF THESE >:DDDD

far from home -  bucky x stark sister!reader

firstly, i like how youre introducing the reader from buckys pov, like you can sort of already gather what shes like from them

‘Bucky can hear Tony’s soft inhale, feel the intensity of the man’s glare directed at Steve. He shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but a twitch of muscle would be enough to alert both men that he’s here. With the amount of tension crackling in the air, a brush against the wall would be equivalent to a thousand cymbals crashing in cacophony.’

IM CRYING ALREADY. the imagery in here is GLORIOUS. your tone here is so fitting! oo and the alliteration here is perfecto

ooooooo!! the backstory coming in  👀👀

‘despite what some people think that Steve and Captain America are two different personas, there will always be parts of Steve in the Avenger, and parts of the Avenger in Steve. They both want to believe in something good. They are, after all, one in the same.// Just as how Bucky and the Winter Soldier are the same man despite everything. HYDRA simply amplified the hate, fertilized the seeds of rage, curated the quiet thunder within his soul, within James Buchanan Barnes so that the Winter Soldier could thrive.’

yIKES! lol this is very character study like! nICE. it hurts tho, my poor children, i love you both 

oo ‘starlight eyes’ that is a very nice way of describing them

‘“Then what was London?” The protesters. “São Paulo?” The earthquake. “Vancouver?” Freezing cold water.//“Look, I care if Stark’s gonna run us over trying to find her. I care enough because she’s part of our team. Come off it, Steve. I know she can take care of herself. I’m gonna take a nap. Dr. Cho said no partying post-Singapore and what do you know, we throw the biggest party ever.’

ooo singapore uwu and london? (coincidence? haha jkjk) and the hints abt reader and buckys background are so good?? but so annoying??? like i just wanna KNOW yknow?? 

‘The water runs copper and the sting bites at his palm as he tries not to think. Tries to focus on the numbing cold that runs over his skin.’ 

your imagery is so vivid?? im actually in awe??? i am so regretful i havent kept reading your fics. like i know they are amazing, i just keep putting them off??? idk man. hopefully this makes up for it (gd tho, im still not done with commenting on one fic. this is what im doing with my motivation teehee ;)

‘ He feels weak. Tired. He wants to go back to bed but he also wants to stay out in the sun for a few hours more. The sun kisses his skin through the windows and he squints against the blue sky, wondering ‘

mood during this quarantine lol

‘“Oh, right.” Your voice is flat, uninterested, cold, as you stare at him. “You killed my parents.”Shit.‘

 OUCH LMAO THATS C O L D, O GOT +100 PHYSIC DAMAGE FROM JUST READING THAT

ooo robin as a nickname noice. very much gives me batman vibes lol

oh! and the way of doing the ‘flashback’ is neat! very original. it both tells us what happened AND buckys reaction to it again. he can re-analyse himself and reader. very cool

‘If you walk away now, don’t bother coming back!” Silence. Bucky can hear his own strained breathing, your soft sigh as you soaked in his ultimatum.’

👀👀 yikes that ultimatum. :// not good bucky. tbf theyre both trying to hurt each other but Yikes

eyy!!! readers pov!! finally! and the switch after we find out the outsiders pov? brilliant

oh no :(( more angst

‘When’s the last time you saw your therapist?”“Don’t have one. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself.”’ they BOTH need therapists;;;;

very good fic!!! :DD they rlly do hate each other! i definitely like how you went back and forth with the timeline! it gave me a v strong idea on what yn was like even before we rlly got introduced. i am now very curious on where reader is? i love your characterisations! 

i will read the 10k+ fics but heck the last one took me ages lolol (i will comment in the future tho!! i promise <3 ) (that took me over an hour jjhghgdjh)

slipping away- amnesiac modern bucky x reader

omg,,, AMNESIA! >:DDDDDD

‘ Put your fucking seatbelt on’

oh no, istg theyre going to have a car crash arent they (’ doesn’t put the seatbelt on to spite you.’ NO PLEASE PUT IT ON U DUMBASS)

ok,,,,, at LEAST he put it on before he got hit, thank heck. but still. youre so cruel to your poor characters lmaoo

oh gosh

‘You fall apart slowly, like pieces of you peeling away until you’re nothing more than your broken heart. The sobs that wrack your body are relentless and you shove your forearm into your mouth to muffle your cries. You want to bite into your skin. You want to distract yourself from the agony tearing you to shreds. You want to feel anything but the pain.///Tears sweep into your hair, cloud your vision and your whole face floods with heat as you try to breathe through the pain. You’re cleaved into pieces on that bed, eyes squeezed shut as the tears keep flowing, and your throat burns’

this hurts damn, it is so vivid?? i can really feel it 

i am so glad you got into writing yk?? so glad

NO PLS, TELL HIM. TELL HIM :((( ‘shes nice once you get to know her?? shes known nat for years now!! years!!

oh god ‘he looks younger without the burden of your time together’ this is so angsty omg

‘Well, he was stumbling through his apology and I just let him finish.” Your body fills with warmth as you remember his embarrassed smile, the way he shoved his baseball cap farther down his head, chin tucked to his chest, trying to hide that face. “When he was done, I opened my mouth to say something polite but what came out was ‘You look like someone I’d very much like to kiss’.”

this is so soft i stg im crying in the club

OH SHITTTTTTTTTTT , you left it off like that!!! thats so cruel!!!! i can’t!!! how dare you!!!! :””””””((( im typing this with tears in my eyes ill have u know!!

anyway!!! very good fic!! you could honestly make that into a longfic very easily lol. i felt too many emotions :(( 

i was just about to say where is the fluff!! where is it!! when i saw the next one and yay :))) pls i cant have more angsty stuff rn

.

cookies and rings and things bucky and reader

‘how much do you love me?’ ‘count the snowflakes, multiply by a million’

did you have to start the fic off with such a SOFT line? its so soft! so TENDER 

‘He wonders what kinda insane person wears socks without any clothes on, but then decides that it’s the kind of person who’s fallen in love with him.’  jesus, the soft moments filled with love are the greatest <3

you can write fluff so well, whyd you have to pain me with all that angst ;””””) (1/10 hurt, 9/10 comfort is the way to go lolol) (jkjk ill read the angsty ones too when i have the spoons) (gonna reread that hydra steve one and ik thatll fuck me UP)

‘ Then, he can feel the cold metal of the ring she slid onto her own finger less than twenty-four hours ago and realizes that he had thought a lot of things shouldn’t be possible, and yet they still are. ‘

you literally brought me to tears reading this softness, you have truly found my weakness

‘ She’s so damn gorgeous with flour on her face and eye bags beneath her eyes that he’s sure she will inevitably make his heart burst ‘

he already likes her so much! i can’t believe this is affecting me so much :’)

‘Bucky is quite sure Sam is in love with his girlfriend in the fact that he’s in love with the fact that his girlfriend is possibly in love with Bucky’

this is so soft??? sam loves reader bc reader loves bucky sm. pls my hear <3333

you do fluff SO WELL DAMN 

‘F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s voice echoes in his small little perch and he still thinks it’s weird without having the side effect of Stark in his suit chasing after him to hear the A.I. but he shoves that uncomfortable feeling of the dead man out of his head. That is too much regret to unpack right now on a mission. ‘

yike bringing back that reminder oof

but thats so soft??? (i am def overusing soft but,,,,, i love it and the vibe) she sent him cookies! god i can feel the love  

‘She expresses her feelings through cooking, which Bucky has learnt the hard way. One time, they got into an argument over something stupid—he can’t even remember what started it—and came to the kitchen at 2AM to see her sitting at the kitchen island crying her eyes out and surrounded by baskets of muffins.’

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 my hEART

you show how much they love each other in so many ways??? i am dying

“Alright, I like it.” Rolling his eyes, he pecks her forehead and she smiles victoriously. It’s so adorable that Bucky, with less than three hours of sleep, adds, “God, I want to marry you.//”“What?”//Oh.Shit.

oh my god! i am literally tearing up!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!

oh shit o am literally crying

your fluff got me crying harder than your angst i hope youre happy

I really hope you enjoy reading this?? i keep forgetting to like text you but i wanted to do something for your birthday. especially in quarantine when everythings gone crazy. one year i swear ill do something REALLY good for you. not making promises bc i hate if i dont. but ill like, learn how to podfic because you D E S E R V E  I T

* GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  MUN :

NAME :  carly NICKNAME : carls, corky, car keys FACECLAIM :   i don’t have one so . . . myself  PRONOUNS :   she / her HEIGHT : 5′1 BIRTHDAY : january 26 AESTHETIC :  to be honest i don’t know, but my room is pink, blue, grey, and has an odd amount of cactus-related items in it LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO : wonderland  FAVORITE  MUSE (S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN :  i haven’t actually written too many people -- and even when i picked new people up never worked up the courage to make a blog for it. before my tumblr days, i dabbled in GLEE roleplay and a bit of frozen and harry potter things. they were, needless to say, bad ( though i can mostly blame that on my age ). so, if i’m being honest, nessa is my favorite and probably will be for quite some time.

* GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  ACCOUNT :                                                  

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE :  i was going through some rough things and was dealing with instability at home so decided to watch a bootleg of wicked, remembering how seeing the show had made me feel happy. i had a personal blog practically dedicated to nessarose already and had stumbled across some roleplay blogs previously. i decided to just make one and see where it took me. i just really connected to her in a way i still can’t describe. 

WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVORITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE : oh god, there’s so much. i love her character arc so so much. to me, she’s just such an interesting character because her actions are so realistic and she isn’t perfect. i like that her choices are easy to analyse and fit so well with her development. you can ( or at least i can ) take one, small, meaningless thing and write a three-page meta on it. for nessarose, there’s just a lot to explore and i just love it a lot.

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING : so many things ! i can like, look at a picture and BOOM muse. sometimes though, it takes a bit more and i have to like watch a video or something. i tend to write when i’m absolutely exhausted, which isn’t great -- but whatever.

FAVORITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS :  i love threads that a partner and i like . . . really plot out. the ones that are long and developed -- almost where like the other person’s reply isn’t a surprise, if you know what i mean. i just really like the longer ones where you can learn so much about your character and sit there writing like, paragraph upon paragraph and it never seems forced. 

BIGGEST  STRUGGLE  IN  REGARDS  TO  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  she is very difficult to write correctly, in my opinion. reading my old replies is almost like pulling teeth because they all just seem so wrong to me. it’s hard to mix the right level of her propriety and youthful nature as well as really KNOW what her true response would be. nessa’s moods are very fickle, which makes some replies hard to write because i sit there wondering what she would do. i also find it hard to describe her sometimes. she tends to talk with her hands a lot and, for me, it can be hard to write out what i’m picturing. of course, the typical also applies here ; it was my first blog on tumblr. if you’ve been here for a while, you’ve probably noticed the drastic changes that have gone on here ( and hopefully seen my etiquette improve too ).

Happy birthday!!!!!!!

Happy birthday, Seyary! Reading your insightful analyses/essays and stories + looking at your gorgeous fanart has made me love, appreciate and understand Azula, Sokka and the rest of A:TLA’s world so much more than I had when I originally finished watching the series. You are truly an incredible artist. I honestly cannot thank you enough for all the amazing content you have created. Your blog is a true Sokkla treasure chest and, no matter how stupid tumblr’s restrictions get, please never delete it. I wanted to do something nice to express my gratitude and since I always have to watch a ton of tribute videos to any character that I start liking very much, I went ahead and found, what I believe to be, the best tributes to Sokka & Azula (both as individual characters and as a ship) on YouTube. There are also two videos that aren’t tributes that I thought you might find interesting. One which analyzes which Hogwarts House fits Azula best (we all know which one, but it also discusses how well she would fit into other three houses and that’s pretty fun), the other which recasts the cast of certain 2010 movie that I won’t name and tries to find which actors would fit the roles of A:TLA characters which appeared in it. But first, just in case you haven’t seen them already, I wanted you to feast your eyes on some beautiful plushies.

All the credit for creating these goes to Jequila on DeviantArt. They can be found here and here. And now for that list of videos I mentioned:

Azula Tribute - Pieces Sokka Tribute - Don’t You Worry Child

Azula - All the Things She Said

Sokka - Kryptonite Azula - How Do You Love Someone Sokka - “The Guy in the Group Who’s Regular” Azula - Fight Inside Sokka - Wait For it - Avatar Princess Azula - Control Sokka - Citizen Soldier Azula - Falling inside the Black Azula - Everybody’s Fool Sokka - Unknown Soldier Fire Nation Royals - It Runs in the Family Azula is Extraterrestrial Azula - Paint it Black Azula - Can’t Be Tamed Azula - Stand in the Rain Princess Azula tribute - Radioactive Azula - Blinding Which Hogwarts House | Azula Geek Talk | Recasting The Last Airbender no good // Sokka x Azula Azula&Sokka as long as you’re mine Sokkla: Burn With You Sokkla Burnin’ Up Sokkla - Bring Me To Life Azula x Sokka For good Sokkla hands up Sokkla: That Rock Won’t Roll

Of course, I don’t expect you to watch all these videos all at once, but whenever you feel like it you can come here and watch any of these videos. They are all definitely worth a watch. I realize you have likely seen several of these videos, but I am pretty confident that you haven’t seen them all, since some of them are fairly recent. You might also like to know that you indirectly inspired the creation of the Fire Nation Royals video. After I read your analyses where you discuss how Azula is much more similar to Iroh than Ozai and how Zuko is much more similar to Ozai than Iroh, I thought that concept could make for a great video and suggested it to Mellan Clear (she also made the top two videos I listed and they beautifully balance music with quotes used). She felt very inspired by the idea and two weeks later made that incredible video which focuses on the parallels between Zuko and Ozai, Azula and Iroh.

Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy these videos and once again, I wish you, from the bottom of my heart, a very happy birthday!!!!! Thank you for all of your wonderful work and never stop being as amazing as you are!!! :)

Thank you very much! I do hope I can get around watching all those videos in time. I’m glad my stories and analyses have been so important to you, and I hope they’ll continue to be in the future :D (Also, I’m glad I indirectly inspired one of these videos xD that’s an unexpected surprise).

Thanks again! Hope you have a great day too!

FIVE  •  HOBBIES  •  Going to see way too much theatre, eating way too much good food in the company of friends and family, binge-watching tv shows and reality tv (especially the ones I’ve already binge-watched before), writing a plethora of unfinished novels and roleplays and a few short stories, daydreaming and analysing fictional characters who wouldn’t give me a second thought, swatching make-up I won’t buy and doing a smudge test for liquid lipstick swatches which always ends up with me saying they’re not good enough because they didn’t adhere to my hand, going to fun fairs and other parks and standing by the roller coasters with people’s bags and some cool soda, spending time with cats (especially mine. Dogs can be okay too, and also horses). SIX  •  FAVOURITE COLOURS  •  Purple, green, black. SEVEN  •  FAVOURITE BOOKS  •  I’m going to exclusively name fiction books, but please know my favourite ‘genre’ (if you can call it that) are academic books and articles on topics I care about. I love Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal so much that I bought it twice when I couldn't find my original copy (right in front of me...). Plays are also my go-to (Six Characters in Search of an Author by Pirandello, La dama del alba by Casona and Antigone by Anouilh, most notably). I loved Good Omens. I have a weird relationship with Harry Potter where I love the universe and the books give me so much nostalgia. EIGHT  •  LAST SONG LISTENED TO  •  Today’s ‘me doing any work’ music is brought to you by the french musical Le Roi Arthur. Advienne Que Pourra is currently playing. NINE  •  LAST FILM WATCHED  •  Probably Falling Inn Love? I have a thing for easy romcoms. TEN  •  INSPIRATION FOR MUSE  •  My own brain and imagination, mostly. I associate certain songs/writers/movies/tv shows/quotes with certain muses, which can help kick-start inspiration but, usually, there is no guarantee that it 100% will. And then someone will say something or I’ll read something or see something and it will just click for a muse, without much rhyme or reason to it. ELEVEN  •  DREAM JOB  •  I’d love to do research in international relations, most of all, and hopefully get to teach others about it in some way, shape or form (Not necessarily in an academic context, though). I’m sadly really far away from that. TWELVE  •  MEANING BEHIND YOUR URL  •  Originally from the song No Reason, from Beetlejuice: “I’ve found my frequency, crystals speak to me.” I wanted a url that reminded people of at least one of the muses on this blog, but that also felt intemporal/not too tied to one single muse/with more meaning, so frequencyfound felt like it met all those criteria.  I like the idea my frequency is writing and roleplaying, too.

REPOST,  DON’T  REBLOG!  

NAME: lottie NICKNAME: brit bitch, captain dangerous AGE: 21 FACECLAIM: I don’t really have one lmao PRONOUNS:  she HEIGHT:  5'5″ BIRTHDAY:  27th june AESTHETIC: who the fuck knows. not me.

LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO: goody two shoes, adam ant

FAVOURITE  MUSE(S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN: well there’s Jack, of course, or else I wouldn’t have been here writing him solidly for three years. but as for other muses, I seriously adore writing Mary Read over at @militispiratae because she’s been a big experiment for me in taking the basis of a historical individual/character ( because, honestly, we don’t know how true the account of her life in the General History is ) and bringing my own interpretation and headcanons to flesh her out. and she’s my favourite female muse I’ve ever written, so there’s that. other muses that stand out are Emma Woodhouse, who I did write on her own blog but now write on my multi, @immobiliter, and then I do also enjoy writing John Silver at @averygoodcook even though he’s on hiatus atm.

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE  ( THAT  YOU  ARE  POSTING  THIS  ON ): I’ve loved Jack Sparrow and the potc movies since I was eleven years old so, when I saw that a fandom existed on tumblr and in roleplay, I got over my fear of starting up a blog and joined :’))

WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVOURITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE:   where do I start lmao. he’s completely irreverent -- he does whatever he wants and says whatever he wants and doesn’t give a shit about who he offends in the process, and it’s just so much fun to write a character like that because he is completely unlike me in that respect. he’s also a staunch individualist and honestly I feel like that’s the side of Jack that should be emulated because he’s incredibly strong-willed, opinionated and willing to stand up for himself against those who think themselves better than him. plus, to be able to write a muse who is both sure of himself in a lot of respects but also has a lot of insecurities below the surface is such a gift, and that’s another thing because there is. so. much. depth. to. this character. he’s incredibly complicated even before you factor in the whole prequel book where he’s a main character so there’s always a lot to analyse and reanalyse and say about him, which means writing him has never gotten boring or stale.

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING: music is a big one I guess, and then obviously for Jack in particular as a muse, rewatching his scenes or some of my favourite video edits of him out there on youtube ( I have a whole bookmarked folder full of videos of him that give me muse ). but also discussing plot ideas and threads with others always helps too; Jack is a spontaneous muse so he latches onto whatever he wants and I have to go with him.

FAVOURITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS:  all kinds of threads, but honestly I looooooove in depth stuff, regardless of whether it’s canon or modern or AUs. stuff that forces Jack into difficult situations and brings out his emotions and challenges him, and threads/verses/relationships that push him and actually give him character development past what we see of him in the movies, which is pretty difficult to accomplish seeing as most of his integral character development occurs before we even lay eyes on him in the first film. 

BIGGEST  STRUGGLE  IN  REGARDS  TO  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE: after all this time, there’s nothing that I particularly struggle with, per se, but his dialogue is always a challenge because he has a very specific way of speaking and sometimes I’ll end up switching up his dialogue five or six times while writing a reply until I’m completely happy with it. but as for Jack as a character in himself, I guess the two main things are: firstly, he’s emotionally stunted, which can make deep, honest conversations a Frustrating experience lmao, and secondly, that it’s not always easy to incorporate him into certain situations, particularly domestic-type AUs. I found this a particular challenge in the plotting of my asoiaf verse, seeing as Jack has zero interest or ambition for the throne, so I have to come up with other ways to tie him into the world alongside making him a pirate. and also being a pirate is so very integral to how Jack understands himself, so in AUs where piracy isn’t a viable career option, I have to think long and hard about how to fit him in lmfao.

TAGGED  BY: @fatalayi & @ircnbcrn TAGGING: @lumenrectis, @thecodekeeper, @saliberte, @rosereigned, @murroyilodel, @donapirata & anyone else who fancies this or hasn’t done it before <3

Yo......love your blog, also love pokemon, so may I request some pokemon head cannons for all the aoex characters (or at least all the main ones), head cannons for them as a trainer, they're favourite pokemon, other pokemon related head cannons you can think of!

He’s getting better every day

General:

He found a Wingull with a broken wing when he was a child, and took it to the Pokemon centre

Once it was healed, he tried to release it

But it refused to leave his side 

Wingull was his first Pokemon and they’re still the best of friends

He’s currently studying under a Professor as his assistant to learn all he can about Pokemon

General:

When his twin brother started his Pokemon journey he challenged Yukio to a gym battle

He made Yukio forget the 2 badge rule just for him

They argued about it a lot but Yukio got sick of Rin’s whining so gave in and accepted the battle

It didn’t matter anyway 

Because Rin lost miserably 

He swears he’ll come back stronger and win a rematch

Yukio can’t wait for that day

When he was a child, he was bullied a lot at school

When Rin wasn’t there to protect him he’d run of and hide

She often neglects her responsibility as a gym leader so she can spend time in her garden with her Pokemon

She treats her Pokemon kindly and enjoys looking after them

She feeds them Pokebeans and berries that she grows in her garden

General:

Rin came to battle her and she was nowhere to be found 

So he looked for her and discovered a beautiful blonde girl in a breathtaking garden 

He was shocked when he found out she was the gym leader

Shiemi apologised for making him come all this way for nothing 

Rin yells at her and tells her to take her post seriously

She’s not only neglecting the trainers who want a Leaf badge but also her Pokemon who would love to battle alongside her

So he vows to help her

Rin helps Shiemi with her shyness

Shiemi asks if she can travel along with Rin whilst she’s learning how to be a real person

Her mom looks after her gym for her whilst she’s away

Once she’s experienced the world a bit she can’t wait to continue her grandmothers legacy and be the best gym leader she can be

He’s forgetful sometimes and messes up a lot

[yujachachacha]

another ask meme thing

Tagged by @hazardtomyhealth, @symphonyalpha, and @jerrykongg, wow! Hopefully, I’m not missing anyone; also, I’m so sorry about how late this is... OTL

Rules: Tag 20 people you’d like to get to know better I don’t even know if I’ve talked to 20 people on Tumblr, lol.

Anyways, let’s see how many of these I can avoid answering directly by inserting stuff I’ve previously posted on my blog :3c

Name/Nickname: Oh look, it’s the first question on my About page.

Gender: Wow, my About page sure is helpful~

Star Sign: Libra, just barely! That’s why I share my sign with Eli, even though she’s born in October and I was born in September, haha.

Height: Shorter than Nico_(:3 」∠)_ (1) (2)

Hogwarts House: I feel like I’ve mentioned this on my blog, but I can’t remember when, so...I’m a Hufflepuff by ~choice~. I was actually Hatstalled on Pottermore! That means that the Hat couldn’t choose between two Houses for me, and literally gave me the option to choose. The other House I could’ve chosen was actually Slytherin, lol. I have no idea how I got Hatstalled between those two, though it makes for an amusing story.

Favorite Color: Can’t remember if I said this on Tumblr or Discord, but it’s actually red. Chuunibyou me used to call it “blood-red” or “crimson-red”. But in terms of clothing, I tend to pick black, gray, or dark blue! (because they’re easier to wash than white clothes :3c)

Favorite Animal: If it has fur and eyes, I’ll probably think it’s cute by default. Furless animals like reptiles and birds are fine as well! But as for my favorite...it’s actually the snow monkey! The sole reason is the fact that they look like cute mini-grandpas when they’re chilling in hot springs:

Average hours of sleep: I have the ability to sleep like 18 hours thanks to the wacky sleep schedule I cultivated during university. But now that I think about it, it’s more like 6-8 hours on average. Huh. Surprisingly normal.

Cat or dog person: Please refer to the screenshot in the next question~ I’m a dog in the Chinese zodiac (y’all probably can figure out my DOB from the stuff I’m writing in this post, though it’s honestly not a secret since I’ve said things like “I’m Suwawa’s age” like a bajillion times lol), and my dream is to own a dog once I get my own place! I love cats as well though - I spent a lot of time petting cats in Korea and the Netherlands.

Favorite Fictional Characters: Everyone in µ’s and Aqours is precious!!! But it’s kinda obvious who my favorites are from my blog description, haha. Here’s what I’ve said before:

Nagato Yuki was actually my all-time favorite character when I was in high school. I pretty much died when I saw her alternate universe version in the movie, even though I knew what was coming since I read the light novels. :’)))

Number of blankets I sleep with: Usually one, but sometimes I use two in the winter (comforter + thin blanket). I dislike having cold feet/hands - the major plus to being smol is having warm hands, actually! It’s from sleeves being always too long for me, resulting in me being able to keep my hands insulated as a result.

Favorite Singer/Band: I don’t really have any particular favorite artist - I usually just happen to like whatever genre I’m into at the time - jazz, rock, classical, pop, slow ballads, and so on. Aside from LL music, I guess I mostly listen to random Korean and Japanese songs. Soundtracks from movies, games, and shows in general are pretty great!

Dream Trip: Airbnb in Europe! I’ve been to the Netherlands and Belgium, but I didn’t have too much time to explore since I was only there briefly (I literally spent a single day in Belgium) for a study abroad program. I’d really like to visit London in particular so I can geek out over Harry Potter stuff.

Dream Job: Defense attorney. Been a childhood dream of mine since 6th grade-ish?

When was this blog created: May 13, 2016! I stalked a bunch of LL blogs anonymously months before that though. :3c

Looking back...my first post (reblog) was so self-centered, omg. My first (original) post is pretty lame too, haha.

I actually joined Tumblr in 2012, but I only used my account for a year to reblog assorted memes and anime gifs. There wasn’t really any theme to it (unlike my current blog, which is firmly in the LL fandom), which is probably why I quickly lost interest. I wonder if I even remember the password to my old account...not that I really want to log on, since reading my old tags and reblogs is embarrassing (even the URL is just...OTL).

But now that I think about it, I don’t think much has changed:

2016 first “yujachat” post

2012 first ever Tumblr post

*cringes and prays that no one ever finds my first blog*

Current number of followers: Uh...*checks*...497?!?!?! When did this happen??? How many of you are bots? Even so, omg this is a lot. Holy shit. Uh. Wow. I might hit 500 soon...I should probably work harder on my TL projects in light of this. ;w;

When did your blog reach its peak?: I suspect it was that “Is there anything that You CAN’T do???” post I made towards the beginning of the LLS anime that started getting my blog attention. I do know that out of my top five posts, at least three of them are shitposts (specifically, from my Love Live SINshine series)...possibly four lmao, I haven’t looked too closely. I did get some attention for my analyses and translations, but not as much. TBH, I’m not surprised that memes rather than rambling won people over! :3c

What made you decide to make a Tumblr?: Yeah, about that...

Birthday: The day that LLS Episode 13 aired.

Relationship status: Single, and will probably stay that way until I rectify the fact that I’ve literally fallen asleep at a nightclub, and then ditched my friends there to go eat dumplings at 2am, because for me, apparently hunger > “thirst”.

Siblings: one younger brother (who probably thinks I’m a loser for still reading manga and stuff)

Wake up time: Generally, I’ll wake up naturally sometime between 9 and 10am. If I’m feeling lazy, or if I stayed up really late the night before, I’ll sleep in until like 1 or 2pm. In college, I’ve woken up at like 7pm before because my sleep schedule during university was, well...

In Korea, I’ve been waking up at about 7 or 8am though, so that I can eat breakfast with my relatives before they go to work!

Lemonade or sweet tea: Does yujacha count as sweet tea? :’D If not, then lemonade.

Day or night: I’m a night owl. I also prefer sunsets and the night sky over sunrise.

Coke or pepsi: I actually dislike pretty much all carbonated beverages now that I’m not the sugar fiend I used to be when I was little, but younger me preferred Coke.

Calls or texts: I call family members if it’s been a while since I’ve talked to them, and I also use phone calls when I have to explain something that I’m either (1) too lazy to do through texts since the explanation is long, or (2) lowkey unable to do since I’m much better at speaking than writing in Korean. Otherwise, I pretty much communicate through messages/texts.

Ever met a celebrity?: Do judges and international officials from the UN count? I got to meet a few when I was studying abroad in the Netherlands. I also met with Hannah Song (President and CEO of Liberty in North Korea) when I was a summer intern for a leadership program in Koreatown, Los Angeles.

Ah, but to actually answer the question in terms of pop culture people, the majority of the celebs I’ve met in recent memory are from university events/performances/shows, and include:

David So, a YouTube comedian. He gives pretty good hugs btw~

Dumbfoundead, Korean-American rapper.

Jay Pharoah, SNL comedian.

Judah Friedlander, actor who’s probably best known for 30 Rock; I took like five pictures with him in various poses lol.

JuNCurryAhn, an amazing YouTube violinist. He’s adorable in person.

Mike Song, founding member of Kinjaz and former member of Kaba Modern (the dance crew that stole my heart on ABDC).

Shin Lim, a world-champion magician. Seriously, check out his Penn and Teller episode he’s legit a wizard; also watching him live was fucking insane!!!

There are a few more celebs (mostly Asian-American artists lol, since I was hugely involved in the Asian culture clubs in university), but I can’t remember them all, since “meeting” them mostly consisted of taking pictures and small talk. Though for a few of the people on this list (especially the ones close to college age), I hung out with them during the post-event party and stuff. Pretty entertaining to see a magician renowned for slight-of-hand play beer pong. :3c

Also, I just realized that everyone on this list is male, lmao...I did meet several Asian female rappers/singers from college events, but for the life of me I can’t remember their names. :’)))

Ah, to rectify that - when I was in junior high, I saw Jennette McCurdy at the Anaheim East West Ice Palace. My brother and I spent a solid five minutes elbowing each other and muttering “Isn’t that Sam from iCarly?” / “No way!” / “Isn’t she supposed to be an ice skating pro?” / “Why would she come here?” / “Dude, she lives in the SoCal area and this place is home to the legendary Michelle Kwan, why wouldn’t she come here?” / “Wait, I don’t even like iCarly, so why are we talking about this?”. Then the poor girl started getting swarmed by a crowd of preteens asking for her autograph, so my brother and I decided to just let her be and skated off peacefully.

As a final note to this long list, when I was in elementary school, I think I might have seen Tim Allen in an Apple Store? I wasn’t sure because the guy was wearing shades, so I just walked past him without doing anything.

Smiles or eyes: EYE SMILES. tbh one of the reasons I love Shukashuu is her great eye smiles!!!

Country or city?: City. I’ve spent time in both while in Korea, and hands-down I’ve gotta pick city for (1) internet, (2) heating/air conditioning, (3) well-connected public transit, and (4) showering instead of having to go the old-fashioned route of drawing the bath.

Last song I listened to: Does the preview for Aqours’ “Thrilling One Way” count?

Tag some users you want to get to know better: I guess I’ll tag some of my followers? I really only know like a handful of people on Tumblr (and am still amazed that they talk to me omg), so don’t feel shy about saying hi! IDK if y’all have already done this thing, so feel free to ignore this if that’s the case, or if you just don’t wanna do it. @lmlm7 @lalalacies @mystwatch @xswordeyesx @queen-of-hearts92

Also, anyone who reads this who hasn’t done it yet, feel free to try it out! Tag me in your post so that I can get to know you as well~

QUESTIONS

What is your special talent/skill as a roleplayer?

idfk man. There’s nothing particularly special about my roleplays or anything. Maybe character breakdown? Idk I mean I personally do enjoy breaking down and analysing and developing my characters, and I do like to think I have a bit of a thing for it [I mean, I study theatre. We learn character breakdown and shit there.] But I mean I don’t think my ability is any better or unique or so than other people?

What is your favourite type of roleplay genre, and why?

I think definitely uh.... I hate the word angst -- but genres that require exploring that weaker, more vulnerable side to my muse. I don’t wanna come off as edgy and ‘ugh, I only like dark themes’ and shit. So just to clarify, I also really enjoy roleplaying the sweet romantic and heart warming stuff. I also find myself really getting muse and inspiration when writing more emotionally -- particularly when it is something sad and stuff. I enjoy exploring and developing my muse on that front -- especially bc Feliks is someone who internalises his emotions a lot, so it’s very hard to even get the chance to see these sides of him?  Anything involving arguments between him and Arūnas though always makes me literally cry. It’s terrible.

Why did you pick your muse?

when I saw Fel on screen for the first time, I immediately took him in as my son. When I was just starting to get into roleplay -- I tried a couple of other characters first. Bel.arus and Chi.na. But when I got to Feliks, he was the only one that I felt truly invested in exploring more and wanting to roleplay. I found the other two a little too complicated for me to get into the mindset at the time [and now I just cbf] and Feliks now has grown and developed so much and I have 0 regrets choosing him as my muse, I honestly am proud of myself that I managed to stick with him for so long and developed him in ways I did.

if you could write any other muse - but know you don’t have the muse for him/her - who would it be?

Ukra.ine tbh. I really love her and I think about her a lot -- but I don’t think I could roleplay babusya with enough justice. Also I don’t wanna dedicate my life to another 1000+ years worth of history. 

What is one thing you think you need to work on as a partner?

My time management with replies. I either reply in less than 5 minutes, or more than 3 weeks. No in between.  Also I think length of threads. Sometimes my replies may get too long and I struggle with that.

What would be your warning label to other roleplayers?

I’m a really Salty Gay(tm) and will either cry to you over smth involving Feliks, or I will salt and vent about all kinds of things in the rp comm

What is your favourite episode/scene of your muse?

laffs a lot. I. I can’t bring myself to like much abt him in the show or manga bc of how he is portrayed [def in comparison to my portrayal.] I kinda did enjoy that scene between him and Lithua.nia where they’re sharing legends and stories together.

What crack!ships do you have for your muse?

Thanks to Mar I developed a liking for PolCan tbh. 

What is your senpai blog?

There is one roleplayer I absolutely idolised [and still look up to today ofc.] Quite a few friends of mine know, and I think they themselves know. But I really admire Kaj on their dobrebopolskie, especially back in 2013-14. They inspired me to get back into roleplay, and also to come up with my own interpretation and portrayal, even if it conflicts with canon. To this day I still find it so amazing that I’m actually friends with them and talking to them and stuff? Bc wow 2013 me always thought I was ‘too lame’ to even associate with them.
