#I may be incredibly accomodating but FUCK THAT

[mocacheezy]

Short version: Trying to find a place I can rent longterm and that doesn't cost me an arm, leg, both kidneys and my spinal cord is frustrating. Especially when the person making the contract (when there is a contract), thinks they can blatantly fuck me over, despite stuff we agreed on verbally.

Long version:

Me: *gets a pricey option for renting a (somewhat fixer-upper) appartement in the main city, with the verbal deal of being able to get a main living address registered for the duration of 3 years I plan to rent (bcs having the main address there qualifies me for smth else I need)*

Me: *gets the money ready, but have to see the contract first before deciding to sign*

The agency dude, writing up the contract, likely assuming "the autistic girl and her mom probably won't read it well, they seem ready to go ahead and sign":

*writes that they are lowering the cost of rent for the duration of fixing up the kitchen and all other stuff I need to get done per agreement*

*writes that the owner agrees to a TEMPORARY address registration*

Me:

Conclusion: If the three sections written in this contract don't get changed before Thursday/Friday when we'll be signing the contract, they can keep that place.

I am not paying 500 rent + utilities for a temporary address while ALSO providing them with essentially a free kitchen because I get to live for a year or two in a fixer upper.

This better have been a typo, otherwise I will look him in the eye at the meeting and tell him that this is something I am not compromising on, and that he can freely give the place to the students that wanted to rent for just one year.

I do need support when communicating and setting up meetings like that, as well as having the stuff explained to me so I don't shut down in the middle of a meeting.

I am not dumb. And I do NOT need this appartement this much.

🦄Wade W. Wilson/Deadpool Agere Headcanons and Moodboard Pt 1⚔️

*just a note, I started writing these before Deadpool 3 came out, so all of these are from the first 2 movies, I'll do updated DP3 ones at some point ^^

GENERAL INFO -Has always had a regressed headspace of some form (he had a shitty childhood so it checks out)

-His age range is all over the place, so he doesn't really have a specific range. He's around 7 or under most of the time, but can regress into his teenaged years.

-Also a pet regressor, he regresses to a puppy and a unicorn (duh).

-Started regressing a lot more after he gained his superpowers. The process was super traumatic for him, so his brain needed to regress more often to compensate.

-Still loves hanging out at Sister Marget's, Weasel has tried to kick him out many times, but he refuses to leave (mostly so Wade can get on his nerves, he likes doing that regardless). Most bar visitors know about him being a regressor and they're all chill with it (and even if some aren't, they don't say a word because they know that Wade and his friends can and will fuck them up). Weasel will give him some colouring in to do, but he likes to do self portraits of him flipping people off (charming /sarc).

-Refuses to let go of his unicorn. It was a big comfort item for him when he was actually a child. It brings him comfort when he's big, but it really comes to the surface when he's little.

-He somehow swears even more when he's little, he thinks its funny when the adults laugh or give him a look of shock. Even while he's little, he loves getting attention.

-Loves to host tea parties with his caregivers, he'll tell them all the gossip that's going on between his plushies. "Yeah! Rainbow Dash is being a really big bitch and-" "Wade!"

-He's literally a pretty princess. He has one of those mini princess themed vanities that he does his make-up at, and sometimes he'll do other peoples makeup (sometimes willingly, but he forces them most of the time). He also has a lot of princess dresses and loves to play dress up.

FRIENDS, FAMILY, ETC -Very sweet around Vanessa. He puts up a tough facade around others when he's small to make them laugh, but that disappears around her (not entirely though, he's still Wade). He loves to cuddle up with her. She was the second person he ever told (after Weasel) and she was incredibly accomodating and accepting. She was always sweet and caring towards him, but knew when to put her foot down if she needed to. She was literally Wade's perfect caregiver.

-After Vanessa died, he pushed it off as much as he could. It was too painful to be small without her. He finally started regressing again after he got comfortable with his new family. (this one is inspired by @genderfluideadpool)

-Weasel was the first person he told about his little space. He didn't understand it whatsoever at first, but after a lot of talks from Wade and witnessing it enough, he finally understood. He may tease him for it a bit, but it's all in good fun and Wade doesn't mind because he knows that Weasel accepts him. He doesn't have a lot of time to take care of Wade properly, but he tries his best when he can. If little Wade is sitting up at the bar, he'll serve him a giant glass of strawberry milk while he colours. They still have their playful banter, but it's altered depending on how old Wade is.

-Dopinder absolutely adores little Wade and deep down he's extremely happy and grateful and he felt comfortable enough to tell him about it. If he's taking him somewhere, he'll play things like 'I Spy' to keep him entertained. In headspace, he likes to call him "Tiny Pool" and "Baby Pool", he loves seeing the gentle blush that forms across Wade's cheeks when he calls him those.

-Colossus has known about Wade's little space for a long time. Although they haven't always got along, he tries to be there for little Wade when he needs to. He tries to make sure that he's fed and hydrated sufficiently, and in Wade's words, he can give a mean piggyback.

-Although Negasonic can be rude and sarcastic to Wade at times, she tries to be nice to him when he's little, she understands that he's more sensitive and vulnerable and knows that being rude to someone in the mindset of a traumatised child is crossing the line. She's not the most responsible though, she loves to help him plan pranks to play on the other X-Men, which they find amusing (even Colossus, who struggles to hide his smile as he scolds them)

-Yukio is extremely sweet and gentle to Wade when he's little. She's good at calming him down if he's extremely overwhelmed or upset. She'll do some breathing exercises with him and talks to him in a very soft voice. It reminds him a lot of Vanessa, and while it was painful to hear at first, he eventually got used to it and finds it very comforting. She's usually the first one to join him when he colours (in case you couldn't tell, he loves colouring in)

-Domino found it very endearing. She's extremely educated on the topic and will gladly beat someone up if anyone treats Wade's little side badly. Like Yukio, she likes to play games. But she plays the more active ones like tag and hide and seek. She's good at getting all of Wade's energy out, which comes in handy when it's bedtime and he's running up and down the halls screaming.

-Much like Weasel, Cable didn't understand it at first, but after a lot of talks from Wade and the team, he accepted and understood it. He always goes soft around little Wade, he likes to carry him around and say silly things to make him laugh (Negasonic has a photo of this as blackmail because he refuses to show his soft side around anyone)

-Russell kinda poked fun at him at first, but after a very, very long talk, bordering on lecture, from Colossus, he apologised to Wade and reassured him that he won't judge him anymore. He's kinda awkward when Wade is on the smaller side, he's not exactly sure how to interact with little kids, but when Wade's in a teen mindset? You best believe they're running around the mansion, stirring shit up constantly.

I definitely needa do a part 2 for these, I have so many headcanons for him floating around in my brain

if you want to. can you explain what ultrakill is

WHY YES I CAN

ULTRAKILL is a fast-paced first person shooter that was released on Steam in 2020. It is currently still in development but you can buy it or get the demo for free right now :]

anyways the plot of ultrakill is thus: you are V1, a robot designed for war. you use blood as a way to regain health as you are traveling through the layers of Hell itself.

and by way of "use blood to regain health" i mean that there is a Lot. of blood. you can shoot and you can punch and you can explode things and it is so viscerally satisfying to watch an enemy explode into bits of flesh as you go back up to full health. did i mention that the enemies include other robots, demons, and also angels? it's a wild fucking ride

ultrakill is an incredibly stylized game - it has a very specific and very confident "retro" look (check out its graphics!!), it makes some very deliberate references to other sick games (castlevania, devil may cry), it has some really awesome music (which can be described as "breakcore" at most times).

and the thing about ultrakill as a full game is that it gives you room to grow and it genuinely feels good to get better at the game. there is a wildly high ceiling when it comes to "how well can a person kill this roomful of enemies" or "how fast can a person get through this game" but it also has several ways to accomodate people who can't or don't play fast shooter games very well. i think ultrakill was one of the first fps games i actully played, same thing with some of my friends who also had a great time.

the lore of ultrakill isn't always touched on by the wider community, but it has some really intriguing takes on religion, war, etc. probably unsurprising coming from the "you are in Hell from The Bible" game but if you take the time to read some of the entries or stories within the game it's easy to see that the people who created it put a lot in. i haven't even talked about how the developers themselves are rockin', composed of a bunch of very talented musicians, artists, programmers, etc. it's incredible to see a game that's been developing since 2018 reach this level of Cool and Sick.

i won't talk too much more so as to not spoil too much about the game itself. i haven't even talked about how you can shoot coins In The Fucking Air to deal additional damage, or how people use those coin mechanics to one-shot huge boss enemies, or how the music is dynamic and changes whether you're in combat or not, or the angels themselves, or that one angel who suffers from a huge Queer Realization and also religious guilt, or the machines themselves. but i digress. i think people should check the game out it's a really amazing experience and i personally found it super fun and a hell of a good time.

[mythvoiced]

hewwo ur amazing and wonderful and kind and generous and amazing 💕

@astremourante | Ami. Listen.

---

Hewwo, take this disgusting slander and put it SMACK DAB into your save tag, because you bless me with such unconditional kindness every FRICKING DAY that I'm about to lose my diggity darn mind, being so wonderfully sweet and kind to me EACH DAY, looking at my writing style and blessing me with your thoughts which are the ACTUAL generousity here, because you are FAR TOO KIND, Ami you must understand that you are of such incredible kindness and your heart is simply WOW out of this world. You're so COOL, too, your thoughts are of the sexiest nature, you enjoy things that make me go loco because I'm not kidding your interests are genuinely so incredible which may be a weird thing to say but you're honestly such a cool person? The way you pop up each day to deliver kindness and attention to others and still somehow have the energy to go through all you have to go through, the fact that I get to blessed with your friendship and then YOU EVEN POP UP AND KEEP BEING NICE TO ME LIKE THIS OUT OF LEFT FIELD?

Ami I am such a huge fan of yours I even fuck so hard with the way you talk about things, talking with you about serious matters and about silly matters is equally fulfilling because you just so evidently care and it's also never nerve-wracking? Just getting to nyoom at you, being allowed the privilege to check in on you, talking to you is so much fun and I will NEVER forget how you halted my bullshit to ask me if I wanted to talk about some shit I was anxious about.

AND CAN I JUST SAY, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, HAVING AMELIA INTERJECT WHEN WE CHIT CHAT ABOUT THREADS AND HER IN PARTICULAR IS SO MUCH FUN AND I LOVE YOU BOTH SO, thank you.

Deadass.

You're a pinnacle of friend.

And YOU'RE NEVER TOO MUCH AND YOU'RE NEVER BEING DIFFICULT, YOU'RE A HUMAN BEING WHOM I STAN REAL HARD OKAY. You're amazing. Y'know when they said they'd accomodate because you're simply that sexy? That important? That incredible? Only facts, they were speaking and doing as is factually correct to do in your regard.

[datamined]

I gotta say, some of the comments and reblogs of this post of people claiming when artists have qualms about AI art are disingenuous and frankly disgusting.

Incredibly grinds my gears when people cry “ableism” when artists dont want their style replicated by ai or suggest people learn how to make art. As if the only way they think to create artwork involves drawing and hand-eye coordination. Just shows that they have a narrow view already of what art is and believe that people are born better at art than others when art itself is so subjective. The OP asking for midjourney is not disabled (to my knowledge) yet people are coming to their defense with the argument of “but ableism!” All of a sudden.

Firstly, being disabled does not entitle you to replicate someone’s work with zero effort and being disabled does not mean that you can’t make art and that you need a generator to do it for you. These fuckers clearly do not understand that some of the most radical changes in art history comes from people that literally did not have the privilege of time and dedicated education.

Some of the most regarded artists in history developed styles influenced by their disability that were near irreplicable to anyone else, visual, auditory, written. I dont want to hear those excuses. I follow an artist currently whose style is irreplicably connected to their trembling hands, and people practically beg them to share how they get their signature lines that wildly vary in thin and thickness. It’s beautiful to see their work.

Also, like, how fucking insulting is that… “You can’t draw or paint like van gogh or miyazaki or tomm moore or kentaro miura, so how about you write some words in a generator and pretend like you can make art!” Is not the progressive stance you think it is. if you want disabled people to have a creative outlet, you give them the tools necessary to create that artwork- eye tracking software, hand stabilizers, custom-made utensils designed to be used by the mouth or other limbs, foregoing drawing and painting and opting for other forms of art like 3d design, ceramics and sculpture, collage, performance art, writing, spoken word storytelling, collaborating with other artists… list goes on.

You don’t claim that a tattoo is your design when you request a tattoo artist to create a design of a dragon. A creative director cannot directly claim that they created a set design when their setpiece design artists create setpieces for their film. Those physical pieces of art are still not the client’s or Creative Director’s even when they request revisions or adjustments to better suit their tastes/vision. When someone asks who made your tattoo, you tell them the name or the studio. Set piece designers and artists must be credited for the film just like the creative director. So why the fuck do people think this is any different?

Don’t use theoretical disabled people you don’t actually give a shit about to argue your desire to replicate someone’s dedication without their consent. And if you’re disabled in some way where you can’t create the art you want, I hope you can find ways to create art that is fulfilling and accomodating to your needs. You may not be able to make hot anime dudes, but you can totally make things that are innovating and inspiring. It has been done before.

These picture generating prompters have no shame…..

[skrelps-cafe]

Okay so when creating Alvina's blog I totally shot myself in the foot when it came to world building. I wanted it to be set in like...the original RSE games, but I realized a few weeks ago 'no, wait, it should be ORAS. Maybe like a blend of the two'. But I've been calling them just Contests and not Contest Spectaculars, going with the old version of the Contest Halls instead of the newer ones, etc.

SO. I present TO YOU: How Contests Work In Flash-Cannon's Canon (A complete overhaul)

Chances are most of this isn't canon compliant. But fuck it we ballllllll

Contests are still organized into five categories (Tough, Cool, Clever, Cute, Beauty) and four ranks (Normal, Super, Hyper, Master).

Normal Contests are your Normal Contests. Anyone can enter. It features an appraisal round and a showcase round. Just like in RSE. This is the most populated category. You only need One ribbon to move onto the next rank.

Super Contests are a cut above Normal Contests. They're slightly more fancy, but not much. It also features an appraisal round and a showcase round, though the judges tend to be harsher. More people watch this rank. You need Two ribbons to move onto the next rank.

Going forward, Hyper and Master rank use a format known as a Contest Spectacular. In addition to an appraisal round, the Contestants must preform a routine that showcases their and their Pokemon's abilities. (like the anime). THEN comes the showcase round.

Due to the space required for a Contest Spectacular, some Contest Halls in Hoenn cannot accomadate Hyper and Master rank Contests. These include Slateport and Verdanturf. Slateport's reasoning is simply because the Hall hasn't been renovated since 2003, and the city has been too busy with other things to allocate funds for it. (also it gives Alvina a reason to travel later on what who said that)

Some aren't happy about this change, because it means people from Slateport and Verdanturf cannot participate in Contest Spectaculars (aka the other half of the ranks) unless they travel- which may not be an option. The Contest Board has conviently ignored these concerns !! so there's some tension over that or something.

You need Three ribbons to graduate from Hyper rank Contests. This rank is filmed more often than the previous two sort of.

Master Rank is the "End". Technically. You only need to win One ribbon to be considered a Contest Star, but it's immensely difficult. Not only are your opponents incredibly skilled, but the judges are harsh and severe with their deductions. You know how it is.

EPIC. But then there's also the Contest Circuit.

The Circuit happens once every year, sometime in the...undetermined season. I'm not sure yet. Anyone Super/Hyper Rank and upwards can participate (I'm still deciding which one). You travel through the Region, visiting the Contest Halls, and perform in Contests! If you win, you get to move on to the next Contest Hall. The Circuit starts in Verdanturf and goes to Slateport, Fallarbor, and ends in Lilycove. There's around 48 Contestants for each category, so. A lot of people. PLENTY have complained about Verdanturf being the starting town- because they have to accomodate around 240 more people every year. Why not start in like. Slateport. They haven't done anything about it.

(IDK. i'm trying to stick to the games as close as possible. I just switched around Slateport and Fallarbor lmao)

Those who win the Circuit are known as Contest Superstars! They get a fancy medal and stuff. You can then participate in the circuit next year to defend your title.

For the most part the 'well known' contestants are Hyper Rank or higher. Hyper Rank Contestants are like mirco-celebrities, while a few Master Rank Contestants get more fame. Contest Superstars get the brunt of it all, though. Fanclubs and interviews and fan meetings, what have you.

Bleh. Anyway. Some of this might change considering I'm writing all of this while incredibly tired. But that's the gist!! I will implement these changes as soon as possible o7

[ghostofasecretary]

my hands hurt. this happens for various reasons, but today they hurt because they swelled a whole lot and then unswelled a whole lot (and were all wrinkly for half an hour after unswelling). i do not fully know why they swelled but it was definitely a series of allergies, i suspect in response to dog hair and then pollen outside

and i just. i am so fucking tired. of how beloved this one FUCKING dog at work is. because i am allergic to dogs, and i'm in pain, and i'm a human person, but it feels like that doesn't matter because we Absolutely Could Not Have The Dog Be In A Different Building Than The One I Work In and HEAVEN FORFEND this dog not be an ~~essential part of our brand~~

and i get that people love dogs! i generally find dogs cute, so long as they are not gonna hurt me! but also, i am becoming very afraid of The Dog. i don't like being in pain. i would like The Dog to be less beloved if that meant my hands wouldn't hurt when i go into work.

[phoenixes-and-wizards]

tua headcanon (vanya’s first concert after the apocalypse):

despite being an amazing violinist, vanya’s still a bit shy about performing in front of her family, mostly because--aside from five--she’s never done it before and partly because the last time she did it, she sucked the life out of four of them with energy tentacles and caused the end of the world. you know--just musician things

when she does land a solo, she takes extra care not to tell a single soul, only practicing when they’re nowhere nearby and never the same passage twice so they don’t realize just why she’s been rehearsing so much lately

they find out anyway when one day, diego does some small-time vigilantism in an alley behind the icarus theater and finds a poster advertising VANYA HARGREEVES PERFORMS SIBELIUS, MAY 21ST AT 8PM

he tells luther who tells allison who tells klaus who tells five and ben. they don’t breathe a single word of it to vanya, and all of them spend the next twenty minutes convincing the ticket seller to spare six tickets, despite the show having sold out a month ago

luther folds as soon as the man tells him “no" so diego plucks the phone from his fingers and says "you're hopeless" in an exasperatedly fond tone

ben practically has to wrestle the phone away from diego and five once it’s clear their "polite" bargaining won’t work 

”he’s not gonna listen to you if you keep threatening to chop his fingers off!!!!!” “oH YEAH???? THEN I’M GONNA MAKE HIM--GIMME THAT PHONE BENJAMIN I’M NOT DONE DONT YOU DARE LET THAT TENTACLE COME ANYWHERE NEAR ME”

in the end, allison saves the day, as always. no rumoring, of course; just plain “hi, i’m allison hargreeves and--yes, i’m the lawyer in that movie, of course i’ll sign an autograph for you after the show. could we pick up our tickets tomorrow? four o’clock? that’d be great, jim. oh, can i call you jim? excellent.” 

she walks away with a cocky smirk while diego mutters “show-off” under his breath, but he says it fondly enough that she lets it slide

ben spends the week leading up to the concert reading about sibelius’ life and the inspiration for his only violin concerto. on some afternoons, five joins him, being the only other member of the family who actually listens to classical music

diego starts leaving dinner in the kitchen for vanya on the nights when she has to rehearse with her orchestra, and klaus drags ben to the mall one day to look for something that’ll help with vanya’s peeling calluses

luther brushes up on classical concert etiquette, making extra sure to tell his siblings not to clap after a movement ends and to give their sister a standing ovation

(”as if we wouldn’t have already. she’s brilliant,” five assures him)

allison takes them all shopping for suits and to her surprise, none of them grumble because they’re all doing it for vanya and they’ve got thirty-two years of missed concerts and recitals to make up for

on the day itself, ben ‘accidentally’ makes too much bacon and eggs and blueberry pancakes, and he loads most of it onto vanya’s plate so she’ll have enough energy to power through all three movements of her concerto tonight. vanya’s so nervous that she doesn’t even notice

when she leaves around noon, violin case on her shoulders, they all file into allison’s room and start getting changed

vanya’s nervous as fuck of course, and fifteen minutes before she goes on, she starts regretting the fact that she never told them, it would’ve been nice to have familiar faces in the audience, but hey she’s here now and she’ll simply play the best she can because damn it she’s earned it and worked too hard on this entire thing for her to chicken out now

when she steps out, she actually thinks she’s seeing things when she spots all six of her siblings sitting in the front row, wearing the largest shit-eating grins she’s ever seen in her life

out of the corner for her eye, she sees klaus giving her two thumbs-up and mouthing “you got this” as she tunes, and it’s more than enough to make her relax completely

vanya takes a deep breath, and as soon as she starts with that familiar “sol-la-re” motif, the entire audience--her family included--is captivated 

halfway through the first movement’s cadenza, ben turns to luther and whispers “how come we never went before? she’s incredible” and five’s face hardens when he replies with “because dad never let us”

diego actually sheds a tear during the second movement; allison subtly passes him a tissue, her own dark eyes damp with emotion

they’re all at the edge of their seats when vanya starts the third movement, it’s brisk tempo and syncopation more than enough to catch their attention

there’s a brief moment where vanya drops her bow and--to an outside viewer--miraculously catches it right before it falls, but her siblings see the way her eyes pulse white for a second as she levitates the bow back into her hand and resumes playing as if nothing happened, and they all trade knowing smiles afterwards

when she finally plays the final note, the audience simply lets it ring throughout the hall for a few seconds before they’re on their feet

even so, she can hear her family’s voices above the din and they look so proud and allison is crying happy tears, diego shouting “brava! bravissima!” over and over, and her other brothers all have matching grins on their faces, and oh gosh, she’s really done it, hasn’t she

they meet her in the lobby with tons of bear hugs, the largest sunflower bouquet she’s ever seen, and half-meant scolding about “why the heck didn’t you invite us, vanny? you were amazing!!!” and while five and diego argue about who gets to carry her case on the way to griddy’s, ben simply rolls his eyes and plops it onto his back

halfway to the donut shop, luther presses close to her and gives her a one-armed hug that’s slightly awkward because they’re both walking and he’s obviously the size of a house compared to her, but vanya leans into him all the same, grateful for his quiet comfort. he keeps his arm around her all the way to the shop and only lets go when klaus drags him away to look for a booth that can accomodate all seven of them

they buy her all the donuts she wants and tell her which parts of her concerto they loved best, and vanya just feels so warm, down to the tips of her toes, and it’s all because she has never felt this much love in her life before

she’s getting ready for bed that night when diego knocks on her door and pokes his head in long enough to say “i’m proud of you, you know? like really, really proud” and gives her a long hug to boot

after that day, her siblings start sitting in whichever room she’s practicing in to hear her play, and the attention is overwhelming at first, but eventually, vanya just gets used to ben reading while she slogs over tchaikovsky or luther munching on a bowl of cereal as she works on her etudes

she invites them to every concert from then on, and vanya makes something of a ritual out of plucking petals from the bouquets she receives afterwards, pressing them into a notebook and running her fingers over every single one before a show to calm her down

[mostly-mundane-atla]

So I was thinking of Zuko as a clearly scarred leader+Toph as a Beifong/teacher of Avatar+Teo, which all led me to thinking of war recovery including changes so there are accommodations for people who use wheelchairs, etc. Then, I was thinking of a Braille system of some kind being created+implemented, which led me to thinking about how the different nations would do it. I was thinking FN would put up like metal 3Dish plaques + EN would just bend out part of walls into forms.

And then I was thinking about the NWT+SWT. Based on research I see that different Inuit groups tend to use different stone for sculpting, and I know some do totem poles, and I know walrus ivory is used. So I guess I was thinking the SWT+NWT would probably do things differently. (I was thinking they would not do ice because ... having to touch ice? Would not be a cool accommodation.)

So, I was wondering what your thoughts are on this. Also, Do the SWT+NWT actually draw any inspiration from specific Inuit cultures/people’s? Or are the WN aesthetics just a mashup of different Inuit cultures/or a nebulous reference?

My apologies if you ever discussed any of these things before+thank you for taking the time to read this. I would love to hear your thoughts/opinions.

To answer your other asks, a good umbrella term is Circumpolar peoples. This covers all your bases and you can specify region, such as "from Greenland to Sibera" which I hear a lot in regards to the Inuit, Inupiat, and Yup'ik peoples.

That said, Circumpolar peoples don't do totem poles. Nations from the Pacific Northwest and southeast Alaska do, but we don't. You may be thinking of dance masks which can get incredibly intricate, especially the Yup'ik ones, but serve an entirely different purpose.

And now to go onto the actually questions. How would a fantasy version of Inupiaq culture do braille? Well, I'm not sure it would be entirely necessary. Unlike most of the cultures that the series takes inspiration from, we didn't really have paper or a written language pre-contact. We did use lampblack (burned animal fat in our case) for ink, but that was used for art and tattooing, not for writing words. Due to this lack of paper, our art was more three dimensional. It was beautiful fur clothes and dance masks, and figures carved of driftwood, ivory, stone, and scrimshaw. Etchings in baleen or ivory. You start at one end of the piece and "read" the story through interpreting the carved illustrations to the other end. We didn't really use signs for trails because there wasn't really a point. You would go that way your whole life and rarely ever completely alone.

But I suppose if I were to apply braille-esque signs to the Water Tribe anyway, I think they'd be treated as art pieces. The words, carved in driftwood or bone, or even baleen if you're feeling fancy, would be the most important part, but I don't think they could resist adding other designs that could be felt. I'm sure other accomodations were already worked into the culture. I'd find it hard to believe if snowblindness and having to travel in weather conditions so bad you can't see past your own nose weren't common among Water Tribesmen.

As for if they take inspiration from irl peoples, they definitely do, but I'd say it's more an amalgamation of various circumpolar peoples than any one particular group. Though many are quick to point out the Inuit influence on the aesthetic, I think it's fair to say just as much was taken from the Yup'ik peoples, shown in the photo below

This Kuskokwim Yup'ik couple was photographed in 1879. Note that these hoodless parkas are longer and have slimmer silhouettes than those you typically find in traditional Inuit dress, like the ones we see in the show.

There are also discriptions of traditional caps made of the skin of a wolf's head worn by Saint Lawrence Islanders, which may have inspired the wolf helms.

In Legend of Korra and the comics it seems they were trying to put a little more effort into referencing the Inuit and Inupiat through naming. Unalaq (from "Ungalaaqłiit") and Noatak (from "Nuataaq") are both named after Inupiaq villages. Tonraq likely comes from the Inuit word "tornaq" (our word for the concept is "tunģaaq") which is a land mammal spirit summoned by a shaman. Senna likely comes from Sedna, the most popular name for an armless woman in the ocean from Inuit myth, whose bones from her missing hands and forarms became all the creatures in the sea. If you perked up at this and said "there's an armless woman in Legend of Korra too! She's also Water Tribe!" I'll let you come to your own conclusions on that.

Malina, from North and South, also gets her name from a woman of Inuit myth, who became the sun after running away from her brother (for gross and fucked up reasons) who, in turn, became the moon. Her brother Malik has a name that could mean a number of things depending on what Inupiaq word you think he's supposed to be named after, from tidal wave to lure to one birth shortly after another (the traditional lifestyle typically involved gaps of about five years between children so only one year between births was notable) to constantly following (which, knowing the Inuit myth about Malina and her brother, is a little unfortunate).

Even in the original series, you find some glimpses of the language in names. Arnook is likely from "nanuq" or polar bear, which was spelled nanook before the spirit movement in the 80s estabished a standardized written aspect of the language. Kuruk's name likely comes from "kurruk" which means to hang one's head in sorrow, shame, or disappointment, but you could interpret it as coming from longer words meaning things like to lower one's head as if to look for something or to fall head over heels.

Is it cool if I request headcanons for arkhamverse bane and croc (not poly), mad mod with an s/o that loves to draw/crochet and play video games?

i'm writing this drunk as fuck so sorry in advance if it's complete nonsense

Arkhamverse!Bane with a handiwork maker/gamer hcs:

he's honestly not much of a creative guy, but he can appreciate honest work. and he thinks you're so cute when you're all focused on crocheting or dirtied up with paint as you create yet another masterpiece. despite the whole thing not being quite his cuppa tea, he's supportive of what you do and appreciates that you've taken up such a hobby. and he may not be really interested in learning it, even if you're the teacher, but he's incredibly fond of having you lay on his chest or just sit in his lap as you crochet or sketch. that way, he gets to be close to you and watch you work, and you're free to do what you like while also spending time with him

the situation is pretty similar with gaming - he's not all that into it. why play sports on the screen when you can do it in real life or just watch a game? however, if you ever taught him how to play, he'd actually find it quite fun to play sports games, especially if you two can play against each other. it's not that he's hella competitive, he just finds it hilarious how invested and animated you get further into the game. when it comes to other games, he'd prefer to just watch you play through all of them. he has to admit, some games have beautiful graphics and even better plots with lots of side quests. and, yet again, if you chose to use him as your personal pillow, he'd be more than happy to accomodate you

Arkhamverse!Croc with a handiwork maker/gamer hcs:

he's not familiar with neither crocheting nor painting. of course, he did draw some things as a kid, but he was never really talented or appreciated for it, so he stopped pretty soon. but he's surprisingly curious to watch how you do it. he likes watching your hands while you're crocheting, they're hypnotizing for him. and it always brings him back to that time you made him a scarf for winter and sprayed it with your perfume so he'd feel like you were there with him even when you were away. and, despite grumbling and protesting weakly, he adores when you make him paint with you. he's not really good at it, and he mostly uses his hands because holding a small brush between his claws is pretty hard, but it's great bonding time for the two of you. he loves that he can just let loose and splash some paint on canvas. and he will get shy (although his idea of getting shy is turning his head away and grumbling under his nose) if you decided to paint/sketch him

when it comes to games, he's kinda on the fence - on one hand, he always wanted the computers/consoles other kids had as a child, so he could play and have fun too but was too poor, but on the other, it's quite literally impossible for him to operate on a controller/keyboard because of his size, and he gets frustrated. so, he settles for curling around you and serving as your personal couch and watching you play. he mostly just falls asleep during those times tho. but he gets to have you in his arms and you can indulge in your hobbies, so what more is there to want?

Mad Mod with a handiwork maker/gamer hcs:

oh, this motherfucker would be so into crocheting. he absolutely adores fashion and everything involving it, and he will gladly crochet with you. he'll make a lot of clothes designs and have you help him figure out how to make it. it's surprisingly fun, and he's very patient, so he can sit with you for hours. and he's also quite the art conessieur! the second he learns you paint, he'll drag you to his favourite art galleries and take you to shows, he'll sit with you as you paint and talk with you, even be your muse! he'll gladly help you in any way he can. and he will absolutely get flustered if you actually decide to sketch him. he has a surprisingly low self-esteem for someone so proud and full of himself, and it really warms his heart that you think him so handsome and noteworthy you decide to include him in your art

and about gaming, despite his old age, he's into it. i mean, c'mon, you've seen the shit he's done in Teen Titans, it's like he created his own virtual reality. he likes to break apart all the mechanics and everything behind the game, study the coding and graphics. it's kinda his shtick. and he can always appreciate a good plot. he doesn't play much tho, and even when he does, he kinda sorta sucks dick at it, for some reason. it's not that he doesn't know how to use a keyboard/controller, he himself is not even sure what it is, but he can't for the life of him win a single match. it doesn't matter what you're playing. but he still likes playing with you, despite getting frustrated sometimes. and he loves that you don't laugh at him because of his failures. so yeah, despite everything, this old man can still have fun

[andreas-hangout]

Okay, okay. This is going to be a bit of a rant, so... Bear with me, please. 

As some of you may or may not know, I’m deaf. But I use hearing aids, which means I can mostly get by in the world. But, sometimes, I don’t hear something. This is especially common in crowded spaces. And, for some reason??, people get incredibly fucking annoyed when I ask them to repeat something? First of all, hearing people do it too. Second of all... why? Learn to meet your interlocutor’s needs. That goes double when they are disabled, like I am. Sometimes, I have to rely on lip-reading as well, which...You know, masks make that harder. This is, of course, not me saying to remove your mask when you talk to me. This is me asking that you speak just a bit louder. This is me asking that you let me sit in the front row. 

This is ALSO me asking that, for fuck’s sake, you (and here the ‘you’ is specifically directed to streaming platforms) make subtitles available. I can try to follow something that doesn’t have subtitles, but it’ll be hard and ask extra brainpower that I don’t have much of most of the time. 

I guess what I’m getting at is... please, it’s not that hard to accomodate us deaf/hard of hearing people. So please, please, please, put in the effort. 

[minniepetals]

I think with trauma responses, people kinda normalize it in an odd way —like if someone is giving up on stuff because they feel like they don't deserve it, they called selfless when in reality, they don't feel like they deserve it; when people are trying so hard to please everyone and be accomodating, they are called kind and nice when in reality, they are scared what will happen if they go against the person they are trying to please; when people stick to themselves and do everything on their own without any sort of emotional let out, they are seen as independent and as strong, but in reality, it's the hyper-independence, the fear that you'll become a burden and that they'll leave you because of it; all these are valid trauma responses and the widely known ones that are disguised as personality. I'm in no way saying that kind and selfless people don't exist or that independent and strong people don't exist! They do, but when you are all those things and more —not as a means to cope with or as a result of your trauma, you are never left with more bruises and trauma. When you are all that, you aren't more broken and traumatized than before just because you were nice, kind or strong or independent.

I think people aren't seeing yn for the broken human that she is —she isn't selfless! she wants nice things and people in her life too but she's scared! she's scared of being a burden and is heavily busy people pleasing and when she does finally kinda get better with her issues, the boys fuck up and she is having a major relapsebecause even her coping mechanisms are of no use now —completely understandable that she's returning to her dad because that's comfort territory, her father's place is familiar, so there's this hope that she'll survive somehow.

This is my two cents really, I'm not a professional, so I'd love to hear what you think but personally as someone who is hyper-independent and is always called strong and shit, yeah —I think I can kinda speak on this. This is my personal opinion and in no way am I trying to be mean or pessimistic about actual kind and selfless people who kind out of the goodness of their hearts but really, 'hurt people hurt people' is so true, trauma is often generational —meaning there's so many people with such coping traits that we normalize as good kid behavior and celebrate.

you're so incredibly right about this. i think this also applies to personality traits with introversion and extroversion. some people shame introverts as being too quiet and too shy or shame extroverts as too overly excited and openly passionate about things and i'm just like asdfghjkl just let people live, oh my gosh. when you shame people and put the blames on them without knowing anything, it hurts that person and breaks them down and it may not affect you in any way but it completely destroys that person. they'll have thoughts running through their head, asking and asking but never having an answer to things. and then you get angry that they do that when you're the kind of person who'll hurt others and be part of the reason why they question things so much and can't see their own worth.

people who have gone through trauma requires so much patience because even if you lift them up, even after time after time, they're still going to believe that in some sense, they're annoying and they don't deserve any of this. i've seen that through my own eyes and when others get irritated at those sort of things, it makes me so passionate and angry about it because none of it is their fault. none whatsoever. and if you say those things, it'll going to hurt them and we're going to return to square one all over again.

i'm glad you brought the idea about both the selfless and independent person because we've already seen y/n's "selfless" person and honestly, if y/n ever becomes "stronger," and as a result, less trusting of people, particularly the boys, i feel like there's gonna be another response with that being "omg can she just stop being so obsessed with her pride and trust the boys already?" -- like honey, calm your tits, just because a person has grown stronger doesn't mean their self worth is strong and they've come to know who to trust and who not to trust. trauma is seen in the both kind and gentle people, just as well as the cold and aloof ones (like the contrast between y/n and namjoon)

[greekbros]

"greek-Bros: Golden Apples and Lead Consequences"

*the Apollo, Artimes, Dionysus, Hermes, Heracles, and Ares all marvel at another golden apple that had been found hiding itself like a cursed Easter Egg*

Hermes: wooooow.....I wonder how Eris came in and hid this?

Ares: Nah, according to her, these things just appear out of nowhere sometimes. Even she doesn't know when or where they appear.

Apollo: .....yes but why though?

Artimes: bro, thats a stupid question, they're called "Apples of Discourse" for a reason.

Apollo: *unamused but he knows she's right* well....one appearing here years after the battle of Troy really doesn't seem like a good sign.

Dionysus: I wonder what they taste like.....

Heracles: hmf. Probably bitter. I've heard rumors that eating these can do terrible things to you.

Dionysus: like what?

Ares: Make you shit from your mouth, bleed from your pores, give you a mild case of gas or something.

Heracles: I heard it can make you grow more arms and legs and a whole new organ. Truly unsavory stuff.

Hermes: *sort of plays with the apple* .....well...all that has happened with mortals.....maybe it doesn't do anything to gods?

Artimes: .....well....I don't know....I'm not eating something that grows like THAT and just appears out of buttfuk nowhere.

Apollo: Than again, maybe this is what ambrosia is made out of?

Dionysus: or nectar *licks his lips*

Ares: *kinda wants to eat it but he knows Eres has an obvious trick up her sleeve* ....fuck it *gets his sword, cuts it in 6 pieces* If anything happens....we all have a GREAT reason and the perfect person to blame.

Dionysus: *takes a slice*

Apollo and Artimes: *takes a slice each*

Hermes: *takes a slice as well*

Heracles: hmm........I'm going to stand by my decision and not take a slice.....

Ares: *takes a slice* why? Too much of a pussy?

Heracles: no. In case you all may need assistance.

Dionysus: "Designated Demi-god", I like the sound of that. Can't party without safety net.

Heracles: *sits back and watches the gods each take a small bite*

Artimes: *takes a few seconds and spits her piece right out* ECK! Da fuk? It takes like Soaked wool! *Her brown hair now turns pink* AH! GREAT MY CAMO IS FUCKING RUINED!

Apollo: *chews his a little* funny, mine tastes like a regular apple. *He suddenly grows donkey ears and notices everyone stares at him* ..... What?

Dionysus: ugh, it's got a hint o-*gags a little and pukes what looks like tiny flowers* !

Hermes: *hasn't even taken a bite yet a decides to put his down* .....of so that's what it does...*turns to Ares only to find a baboon with wings wearing his aromor* .....

Ares: ......to be fair....I ate Heracles's slice too. *Scratches himself with his foot*

Heracles: *not even sitting comfortably for more than 5 seconds everything goes to shit* .....should I fetch father?

Apollo: *feels his new ears* AH!

Dionysus: *coughing up flowers* Fuk! Yeah go get hi-*pukes out more grass flowers*

Hermes: Already did. *Now Zeus is next to him*

Zeus: ....oh dear.

Dionysus: *coughs up the last few flowers from under the table, stands up and now he has a bull's head* ah, finally...*rubs his head and feels his new face* ...oh...fuk....This is going to make sleeping with Ariadne very awkward.

Apollo: *only has donkey ears and nothing else* YOU THINK THATS AWKWARD! LOOK AT ME! I'm hideous!

Artimes: At least you can hide those ears! I can't hide anywhere! I stand out like a sore thumb!

Ares: *actually not minding his new monkey existence and now currently is thinking of the Donkey Kong theme* .....so dad....can you fix this?

Zeus: Now now, there is no cure.... however since all of you have only eaten a part of the golden apple, it's effects are temporary. Just keep to yourselves, and wait for the effects to wear off....and I hope ALL of you learned a valuable lesson.

Dionysus: so Hermes why didn't you take a bite? *Scratching behind his ear* ooh that feels good ~°.

Hermes: I was.... until Artimes mentioned it's taste.

Dionysus: mine tastes like a rotten cabbage.

Ares: brussel sprouts.

Apollo: mine just tasted like a regular apple.

Zeus: figures. Golden Apples accomodate to the consumer's least desired palette.

Dionysus: *turns to apollo* dude you hate apples?

Apollo: no. It's just that out of all the things I've eaten-

Artimes: which isn't much.

Apollo: *light glare* Apples aren't something I find incredibly delicious, I just find them underwhelming.

Hermes: I see you've eaten a Red Delicious.

Apollo: is it big, extremely red and bulky?

Hermes: yes.

Apollo: ok, what's the matter with a red delicious?

Hermes: if you ever want to consume tree bark and sand than it's the right apple for you.

Apollo: ....you mean...there's.... OTHER apples?

Heracles: No offense dear brother but I believe after this ordeal you wouldn't want to even remember the existence of apples.

Apollo: *pulls down his ears*....I guess you're right.

Zeus: Don't worry, everything will be fine....but if you feel a little impatient.... *Casually takes out a pair of scissors* *snip snip*

Apollo, Artimes and Dionysus: *looks to each other, screams and all three run off*

Hermes: .......*turns to Ares* and what about you?

Ares: *on Heracles picking and grooming little things from his lion pelt* nah I'm fine.

[fiction-in-my-blood]

Obey Me! Characters x Horny GN!MC HC (NFSW)

This includes all brothers and undateables (Diavolo, Barbatos, Soloman, and Simeon) I think I got a little carried away with Barbatos’ but, hey, its still a good read haha

Warnings: Just straight up Not Safe For Work, a lot of mentions of rough sex, edging in Barbatos’ HC, references to open relationships in Asmo’s and Diavolo’s, Lucifer’s is a lil angsty.

~~~~~~

Lucifer:

More than happy to accomodate you at any time of the day, but you’ll have to hold off when he’s particularly busy at the end of the month when the bills need to be sorted.

(Maybe encourage Mammon to hold off a bit on the big spending so he isn’t too stressed)

And, if he does get overrun with work pushed on him by the student council or Diavolo, tease him but accidentally letting it slip you’ll just have to go to Mamo or Asmo to complain, seeing as he can’t pleasure you right now. 

He’ll definitely be invigorated to recover the pride he drastically lost even by the insinuation you’d go off spouting nonsense like that.

“I promise I’ve been good ~.”

“Their names wouldn’t even be on you mind if you were.”

You’ll be satisfied especially when he’s stressed, pounding all his frustrations into you, his demon strength pushing your head further and further into his pillows. That is if you make it to the bed. 

When he does have the time, however, and you’re particularly needy, he’ll tease you to no end, not touching you until he can’t hold himself back anymore. 

And, being overly sexual doesn’t mean rough all the live long day. 

He likes to take it slow most of the time, not just teasing you, but engraining your body into his mind. 

Because somewhere, deep in the self-sabatarging part of his brain, he remembers you’re mortal and he isn’t. 

He’s going to live longer than you are, he could already be your eldest ancestor, so that thought it always in the back of his head as his face is burrowed in you neck, taking you in every sense of the word. By smell, touch, taste, hearing your moans of his name, watching your face screw up in pleasure and resting next to him after a specifically sensual love making session.

Mammon:

Won’t notice that its sex that you want at first, taking you to shop with him countless time when you’ve said your bored and wanted to have a lil fun~.

When he does realise, however, good god how can you have some much blood at two end of your body? Rock hard and a blushing mess at you on your knees in your room, just home from RAD, pushing him on the bed and almost swallowing him whole right there. 

His face is bright red listening to Satan and Asmo tease him- you had ranted to them countless times that Mamo was completely oblivious and you were worried to spell it out for him. 

But now, he’s just as needy as you, if not more. He is the Avatar of Greed, after all.

Don’t worry though, even if he is clueless when it comes to you, he’s had his fair share of sexual payback deals, so he’s got thousands of years of experience. Witches have used his body like a piece of meat time and time again.

Well, now he’s not just greedy for money. You’ll be lucky to ever sleep in your own bed again.

Might roleplay a prostitute and pimp, stripper and client, secretary and CEO, whatever situation that would possibly allow one of you to hand the other money.

Both of you swap, but Mamo, being greedy, enjoys it more when you top, doing most of the work. Won’t admit that though. 

He relishes in the feeling of your thighs bouncing up and down on his hips, weight draped over his as you kiss him with so much pressure you might just be able to make diamonds. 

Leviathan:

Too busy playing games, watching anime and boasting about his collection to think that you came to his room for any other reason.

Gets the idea when you sit on his lap, though, mid-speech about Henry and the Lord of Shadow’s latest exploits, grinding against him and grinding his words to a halt.

Although momentarily caught off guard, blushing as he stammers out an apology for not noticing sooner, he wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you into endless amounts of bliss.

The boy has a few tricks from harem games he’s played, lets not play ourselves.

He will ignore you when there’s a new release, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use him however you like. 

Sucking him off from under his desk as he struggles to concentrate on what’s going on onscreen, whispering sweet nothings in his ear as his friends’ voices echo through the headset. 

He will get a little annoyed, you did ruin his 20 Kill/Death ratio, but a sensual plea for his cock to bury deep inside you and he’ll be willing to forgive you. 

That is if you acquire this figurine he’s been looking into buying but can’t afford because Mammon borrowed money from him again. This time without asking.

Satan:

Some say makeup sex is the best kind of sex. Well, how about sprawled over ancient texts, forgetting to lock the libray door sex?

It can be hard to get him to put down the books and stop watching the dramas, especially when a PSA for an animal charity comes on, but, when you do... Honey.

There’s a lot of risk to being needy with Satan.

Sure, he’s happy to make you happy, but if you intend of fucking him out of his private time when he’s particularly engrossed in an book, please don’t push it. Unless you wanna get rammed from behind in the hallway outside the dining hall while he’s in demon form.

Sometimes, even with a pride that could rival Lucifer’s, Satan just can’t get off- which makes him a little pissy. Don’t worry, though, you can make him feel better by putting on a show, playing with yourself until your screaming his name. Then he’s harder than should be physically possible.

If there’s a sex scene on one of his detective shows, he’ll complain about how needless it is to the storyline, he has already realised who the killer is.

But, when he notices you haven’t said a word on the subject and are moving onto his lap, grinding on his thigh, blocking his view of the lewd, but short, scene, he couldn’t be happier about the character’s relationship development. 

He will be rewinding when you’re done, though. You missed about three episodes because of that scene.

Asmodeus:

If he isn’t the Avatar of Lust, you sure as hell might be.

Even before you got together, it was incredibly difficult to resist him. And not just because of his devilish powers.

The horny gremlin could hardly keep it in his pants before you dated, but now. Luv, get ready.

He likes to dress you in whatever sexy outfit there is. Whether its a full blown nurse outfit or the smallest lingerie going, you’re both happy to try anything.

You tried a nun’s outfit one time and, coincidentally, almost got caught by one of the angels. You had been experimenting in the library of Purgatory Hall, so it’s only you’re fault, but it was still a very, very close call.

He’ll never leave you hanging, you’ll definitely have more than five orgasms a round, but he’ll have twice as many.

He might ask if you want to include another person, and you might agree, depending on your openness to sexuality, but he’s not going to make you feel let out. 

You’ll feel like a royal, more important than Diavolo, ravished from all side, just by him. If you did include anyone else, they’d be lucky to even get their hands on you.

There will be times when, just so they could sleep, Lucifer will enforce a ban on how far you can go. You’re a screamer and he’s a moaner, and all the brother have had enough nightmares as it is. 

They’ll go as far as put a chastity belt on him, locking him in his room and sending you to stay with the angels for a couple days so they can have some peace and quiet during the night. 

But, when you come together again, Asmo’s cock still locked away, he’ll go full demon-mode, form and all, fingering and licking you like no other time before.

Jokingly asks if you defiled the angels without him, you joke that you did. You never thought Asmo would be so openly jealous, but that look then was almost as scary as Satan. If it didn’t turn you on so much, it would be.

Beelzebub:

He’s not dumb. 

Watching you jump on the counter, flirtatously crossing one leg over the other as he has his late late night snack, comments about how well he eats.

What that tongue do tho?!

It’s become customary for you two to meet up in the kitchen on his nightly visit, letting him eat all the food he wants before he buries his face in you right there and then.

Never have you been happier to have a gluttonous, demon boyfriend.

He’s just as horny as you are, eager to taste you at any given moment. 

And he’s not secretive about it.

At first, he would just walk up to you as you talked with his brothers or the angels, asking you if you wanted to use this whipped cream you introduced him to from a care package you got from home a month ago.

“It’s just whip cream, Beel. From the can.” You correct him before excitedly agreeing.

Because of this, Asmo’s asked to join in a few too many times for it to be a teasing joke anymore.

Now, after you tell him he might break Mamo if he asked you to ride his face because he was hungry as school again, he’ll whisper in your ear how much he wants you. It’s not much less obvious, but at least everyone doesn’t know the specifics of your sex lives anymore.

Belphegor:

Honey, he may be asleep half the time you are together, but fuck if he doesn’t know how to treat you well. 

He’s surprisingly perceptive so, when you take him to the attic, mentioning how far away it is from all his brothers, meaning it’ll be harder for them to hear the two of you, he does chuckle at your not so indirect way of telling him you want him. 

Don’t get me wrong, he’s going to make you work for it. Although, not in a way similar to Lucifer.

He’ll finger you to the edge, give you oral until you just about to topple over, have you ride him and then rip you off his lap the second he feels that slight tightening around his cock, thoroughly enjoy that broken, teary-eyed expression everytime you cry his name in annoyance. 

But, if you can muster enough strength, and he hasn’t fucked it all out of you yet, you could wrap your legs around his waist, making him make you cum when you’ve reached your limit.

You’ll be severely punished, covered in delicious brusies, but it’ll all be worth it.

Diavolo:

At first, he jokes about your obvious, desperate advances. 

Like, seriously, how can a human have so much energy?

He finds it cute when you pout because he’s busy.

When he has to make diplomatic trips, his D.D.D is ringing every other hour.

“MC, I love you. With all my heart. But I don’t think God will appreciate me listening to you cum in our meetings.”

Not to mention the amount of times Lucifer and Barbatos have walked in on you going at it on the throne (which is your favourite place to do it, as of late).

You honestly couldn’t care less. Demons are allowed to be horny sex fiends, why can’t you?

Diavolo never thought he could meet his match, but you, this human that stole his heart, might just have worn him out. 

However, what gets him every single time? You whispering in his ear as he’s discussing important matters of Devildom with Lucifer, his smirk making the eldest brother blush because he knows, and can probably hear, the plans you’re nibbling into Diavolo’s ear. 

All the positions, all the memories you wanted to recreate, all the sweet cries of pleasure.

You might as well be humping his leg.

“Oh, and Luci, did you want to join?”

Barbatos:

Doesn’t react much in public. 

Or at all, really.

He does represent Diavolo in everything he does, so it’s not like he can go around with hickies covering his visible skin.

You do try to rein it in for him, you respect his dedicaion for the future king of Devildom, he shows you a fraction of that same dedication and you’re on cloud nine, but it does get in the way sometimes.

For example, you could be in the middle of getting dicked down, the first time all week and it was WEDNESDAY, and Barbatos stands up straight, pulling right out of you, leaving to attend to whatever need Diavolo might have without another thought to you.

This had happened a few times now and you were tired of being blue-balled.

You had to go to the source.

“Diavolo!” 

Eyes practically alight with rage, you stormed right into Lucifer’s office, where you knew the two would be. 

Mammon had seen you in all your radiant, disheveled desire turned furious and you demanded he tell you exactly where the prince was, even if he didn’t know in that minute. 

This fiasco was ending. 

Today.

Lucifer was angry with your casual referral to such a high-standing demon, but Diavolo brushed it off because you were you. You were the human he found so endearing, wanted to learn more about. And you were Barbatos’ partner.

“Stop calling Barbatos at night! Better yet, give him the weekend. I can’t do it anymore! I’m going crazy here with all this edging! I haven’t cum in a month!!!” 

The words slipped from your lips without you caring, Lucifer’s frown lifting into a smirk as he smelt and sensed the need for sex all over you. Diavolo laughed at how utterly needy you were, nodding when he noticed you glaring.

“I swear, on all of Devildom, Barbatos is all yours when the sun sets.”

That night, you pulled out all the stops.

Candles, blankets, boxes upon boxes of condoms, lube, his favourite food, and your sexiest lingerie. There was no way you weren’t getting laid tonight. You were going to make it that you couldn’t walk tomorrow, no. matter. what.

Barbatos enjoyed his dinner with you, which was unusually tame compared to how you normally were. You were still a little angry about last night, when you were a thrust away from finishing when, apparently, Diavolo needed help and Barbatos lifted you off him and redid his pant buttons like nothing had happened.

However, after all the delectable food, the show really began.

A strip tease. A blowjob. He even finished you off once with his fingers, but it wasn’t enough. You had been so close too many times. You were cumming on that dick if it was the last thing you ever did in Devildom.

“Oh, I think Dia-.”

“Don’t you fucking dare say that name.” 

You gritted your teeth, clamping your hand over his mouth to shush any attempt to leave you hanging here. Literally. 

He was standing, holding you up by the thighs as you bounced on his cock, sweat coating both of you and breathing mixing as you tried to kiss but couldn’t manage the absence of oxygen for less than a second.

A muffled sound of confusion came from him as his grip on your ass loosened, but you wrapped your legs tighter around him so there was no way he could escape.

“I need to cum with you, Barbatos. I can’t take it anymore. I need you.”

Your voice croaked, tears of desperation filling your eyes, and that was all it took to send him into hyperdrive. 

You were pushed against the walls with a heavy thud, hitting your head at the force, and it would have hurt it you weren’t suffering from such mind-blowing pleasure.

It’s safe to say, you were never going to be edged like that ever again.

Solomon:

It doesn’t take magic to see the hints you’re throwing at him.

Bending over in the halloween costume you ordered off of Akuzon, making sure it was way too small before you hit checkout. You got a Pigwart’s uniform, saying that you must have accidentally bought the kids version, but there is no way in Devildom a skimpy cropped shirt and the shortest, most curve-hugging shorts would be a kids costume.

You don’t make it to that year’s RAD Halloween party, but Soloman promises to bring you back to Devildom for next year’s.

That is if you can make it in the sexy witch costume you were already planning.

Your relationship had first developed when he gave you tips on how to survive as a human in a world of angels and demons, but now he’s giving you tips on how to give him head better.

Not that you need it, he just likes to order you around.

Simeon:

He knows, but he doesn’t act on your overly sexual nature.

It breaks him to watch you beg, so the second you’re making advances, he swallows his embarrassment to pleasure you, reminding himself to pray extra, extra hard that same night.

You’re the one to initiate most of your encounters, running your hands up his arms, poking your fingers under his shirt through the shoulder cuts.

There’s this one song you’ve been listening to lately. A very sexy song. One recommended to you by Asmodeus. You can’t help dancing around whenever its on, feeling yourself like you are that bitch. 

One time you get out of the shower, think fuck it, drop your towel and start the routine you’ve basically got planned out by now. Rolling around on the floor, sticking your ass up, flipping your hair and shaking your thighs so you butt jiggles. 

You were so wrapped up in yourself you don’t notice Simeon sitting at the small desk you usually use for school work, mouth open agape as you give him to most sinful show he’s every seen. 

He had come to help you study, but...

Since when have humans been able to move so elegantly?

He thought you looked like an angel, but the way your sex is reveal to him as you part your legs at one point, there is no God that could approve of what thoughts were running through his head. 

Even though you had fun, you were panting by the end of it, laying on your fluffly carpet and snuggling your face against the comfort as you laugh at yourself. 

That is until you feel the pressure over you as your wrists are pinned above your head. 

“I’m going to hell for this.”

“Love, you’re already here.”

what are some of your favorite fanfics?

Okay well buckle up peanut!

Unfortunately i can't give you a long list of fics because i'm still trying my best to read as many as i can, even though i went through quite a lot already, but there are a few what i can already say will always be my all time faves

Miles from where you are - listen theres no day when i don't think about this fic, and it will probably remain my all time fave ever, rey is a fan of the prequels, ben not so much, its everything you wish for, i cried so much while i was reading it, and i have to hold myself back to not read this over and over again instead reading new fics

I think we're alone now - A fix it fic, that stuck with me, every piece of it, their newfound life, the sudden change, their uncertainity, and how they try to accomodate to it, to each other now that they are finally alone...together (best part is that it's still an ongoing one!)

So that he may sleep without his fists clenched - okay this is a new one, just started out but listen...i dont need a lot to know when something is truly incredible, and this fic is, my tags under it say it all, and i will never shut up about it

Play by play - a twitfic of it's genre's peak, i followed through several ones and while each of them grew on me and they are all perfect, this one remains superior, ben's characterisation and experiences maybe hit way too close to home but...the emotions behind this one, once you read it, you will understand...on top of it it's also hilarious af dbnfnr, and my boy tai is in so do you truly need anything else 😔🙌 (i also recommend you to check out all of her works because they are all wonderful)

Love like ghosts - another fix it fic, and the emotional roller coaster you might need, i went through it, gonna wreck you real bad, but heal it right away, a masterpiece 😭

Janus - this one has a legendary status and you might have seen this recommended a lot for a reason, it's the slowest of burns but worth it all the way

An unexpected vacation - okay listen before this fic i didn't think ABO would ever be a thing for me, and idk if you like it but fnjffjfjf this one is *chefs kiss* 👌 the whole starting point is just fucking hilarious, and there are lines that had me cracked up like hell, it's a feast in all of it's steamy greatness, also they still manage to be so soft, my heart just gets messed up over it

Also check out my #fic recs tag, you will find a ton of them there, and many of need to be read by me as well so i'm kind of saving them there!

Tour19 This Way to Self-Destruction Kanazawa & Fukuoka ♡

金沢市文化ホール

Kanazawa was a day of reunions and meetings with many precious people so it’s a day that will always stand out in my memory. Kanazawa Bunka Hall is a lovely venue but felt a little odd for a rock concert. Due to various circumstances I ended up with a front row seat in this hall, dead in front of Shinya and Die. I was extremely excited about it but it also felt quite odd, because the circumstances that led to me getting this ticket were really unfortunate. Anyway. 

The edge of the stage was barely over an arms length away and there was this hilarious little rope on the ground at our feet for the ‘barrier’. I think they only raised it during the encore? I was concerned I’d be going head first into the stage when headbanging, but thankfully it wasn’t a problem and I quickly realised we’d have to be far more careful of the photographers crawling around in front of us trying to get  their pics of the guys 😂 Thankfully they were very accomodating of our enthusiasm and we were no trouble to them 😂 I hope. Although I think during one song a guy may have got whipped by my hair. I’m sorry bro. So yes, DEAD IN FRONT of Shinya and Die…It was Bliss…I think this is probably the deepest engagement I’ve ever been able to have during a live because there were just no mitigating factors…the stage was right there and there was no one in front of me or crushing me or hindering me in any way. Unbelievable. The stage in Bunka Hall was pretty large and not just wide but quite deep. Kyo’s box was placed way further back than usual, like easily a good few steps between it and the stage edge.

I believe that both the SE and the SE footage used on this tour are the same as in TIW spring tour. There maaay be some variation in the footage but overall the impression is exactly the same. I was surprised by that because I had thought that this being such an extensive tour with a new single at the helm that they might develop the visuals a bit more, and mix things up a bit, but this tour is no different to TIW tour aesthetically speaking. It’s also a less varied setlist, which surprised me at first, but now makes complete sense due to the nature of The World of Mercy.

EN. HYDRA -666- 鬼眼 Followers NEW AGE CULTURE 詩踏み

Seeing Zetsuentai up that close for the first time was incredibly moving, and then the transition right into Keigaku created this most hypnotic atmosphere. It was a really nice opening pair especially for a seated venue, it let the atmosphere really blossom before jumping into the more energetic songs. They started Downfall and I lost it, I think the only song I was looking forward to hearing again MORE from The Insulted World was Ningen. I cannot believe I was meh about Downfall until I experienced it live! On record, at first I thought it just sounded choppy and a bit generic, but live it just explodes with emotional intensity and I am absolutely crazy about the bridge. Major highlight was Die coming right up to the edge of the stage at literal arms-length away and just rocked out there for a moment while I threw down my SPINE. He was wearing these glittering wide-leg trousers that really caught my eye when he was right there…And his hair is magnificent 💞 And then IN DEVOTE Kaoru came over from shimote during the second verse and stood in the same place…right over me and Britti and, made his rock star face…pretty sure I lost control of my entire face and possibly shouted “TO DIE IN” right at him, RIP…I cannot fully remember but he was, enthused. Oh my god…I love him. So I have very little memory of Kyo from Downfall > Ningen due to the fabulous antics of Die and Kaoru, but Kyo’s wonderful dancing in Celebrate obviously always stands out. He does this irresistible jerky dance with his hips and arms and flops his head around during the main riff and like, it’s impossible to NOT move watching him do this. This song is so much FUN live.

Every time I hear those opening chords of Ningen I experience, like, a physical anticipation and pleasure that is pretty much unique to this song. No other song gives me a physical sensation like this one, I just find it really, really intensely emotional. And I know this song is sooommmewhat derivative and hardly like groudbreaking-ly original or anything like that and I DON’T. CARE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Stanning 人間 till DEATH, bye. Also during the second interlude, after Ningen (I think) we were calling out for Shinya, which I do not do ENOUGH. I mean I was standing RIGHT in front of him, I had no excuse not to stan. Called for Kyo as well bc he was sitting on the drum stand like RIGHT THERE and I was like “oh fuck 🤡”

ALSO one important tidbit I don’t want to forget about, is a friend telling me she could see Die glancing at my hair all the time while I was headbanging 😂 the thought of this makes me feel all glowy

I have only the vaguest memory of Aka…I was thinking about it as I was looking at the setlist and trying to remember each song and I could barely conjure Aka at all. It just didn’t stand out especially tonight which is weird for me, because last spring it was paired with undecided. Played as a ‘pair’, those two songs created an unforgettable and incredibly distinct moment in the set each night…on this tour Aka is somewhat marooned, alone in the middle with all the really energetic songs. I do recall Kyo creating his loop out of the mic chord and dragging it around his neck during the guitar solo, and watching Die’s passion at various moments. And I do so so so love being called on to sing during this song…I love singing Aka so much, the melody is so smooth and melancholy and the words just flow off the tongue so beautifully…I love it

After Aka we smashed into Merciless Cult and I have a lot of trouble remembering anything from Merciless > Values with any cognisance. Kyo moved around a LOT during Rubbish Heap and Values and I think Die and Kaoru also did. Kyo was energetic and interactive during this part of the set and he was demanding MORE from the audience. I wish I had seen more of Toshiya tonight but I honestly barely saw him, he did not visit our side at all or move to the front much and a lot of the time Kyo obscured him from my line of vision. Bby! I was able to see Kaoru most of the time but I only turned to him at select times bc, guys. Die was RIGHT in front of me and I love him. As if I’m going to treat him so poorly?

Then it was time for Ranunculus & The World of Mercy. I have listened to The World of Mercy incessantly since it’s release, but for me, the effect of it’s ‘pairing’ with Ranunculus in this set, almost as a Part 2 of that song was just…after the experiences and emotions of Ranunculus on the previous two tours… in a way it was deeply heartbreaking.  Kyo was extremely emotional during Ranunculus today, but it felt different…I couldn’t put my finger on it until we talked about it afterwards, but it was rattling. I couldn’t tell if he was weeping, but he screamed, and tore at his clothing and thrashed his body around and then at the end of the song, he fell and bent into the foetal position. Delay was used on the mic as they transitioned out of Ranunculus into the soft open of Mercy. He began making these desperate, abstract sounds that immediately reminded me of his inward screams. Perhaps he was using words but to me it sounded like wordless pleading murmuring and gurgling and breath. I could clearly see his face on the floor while he was doing this and it was unpleasant to watch…it’s hard to describe at all. He sounded like he was crying, but I don’t know if there were tears. He sat up slowly, cradling the mic and then began laughing horribly. Letting out these hopeless forced cackles as he sat there looking crumpled, and that was how he vocalised the first lines of Mercy.

It was difficult to watch. I wanted to cry but also wanted to hide. I did not feel this horrible hopelessness in Mercy at the following 3 lives I attended, which is not to say that it wasn’t there, but perhaps was more poetic and contained, and less raw than it was tonight. The following 3 shows also had a far greater sense of intimacy and rapport between the band and the audience imho. When Mercy came to an end the hall was just engulfed in dead silence. The backdrop went black, and then glowed with DIR EN GREY + the tour title in bright red text. I almost completely burst into tears. The members all left quietly and applause broke out, and then the call for encore went up. I collapsed momentarily to drink some water but then had to stand back up bc lol if I’d stayed seated it would have all been OVER for me.

The encore was LIT, but it was a bit odd having Followers right in the middle of all the rowdy songs. Hydra 666 mates…mates UGGGHHHHH IT’S JUST SO FUCKIN LIT ugghhh the mask experience is insane and seeing Kyo projected on the backdrop like THAT…in THAT song. Epic iconic immortal ugh this influence this legacy. I almost FELL head first into the stage during Kigan, it was a CLOSE CALL. New Age was absolutely manic, Kyo was running everywhere and I’m pretty sure it was on his way back from kamite here that he gestured at us as he danced past hahaha I was too close to the stage to see anything he was doing on his adventures, and I think Kaoru came over again and Die visited shimote 💞At the end of the song Kyo was right at the edge in the centre, and he was grimacing with his effort not to smile. He failed and smiled hugely for a moment with his face turned on side.

They closed out with Utafumi which I can honestly never remember well, like the song is just too hectic and always ends with me bent over bashing my brain against my skull. At the end Shinya was being EXTREMELY PASSIONATE with the drums, it was RATTLING my whole body and Toshiya was like…. .. .. . . . … .. . . …. . .. . (are u done???) lajsndflkas 💞At the end Kyo stood on his crate and briefly took in the hall with an unreadable expression, he clapped and then departed. The other guys threw a few goodies, and then also departed. None of them seemed displeased, and from my vantage they all seemed to have had a good live but I was told the audience was rather stoic so they weren’t excessive with their gifts at the end of the night. I have a very distinct memory of Kaoru doing his thing…standing DEAD in front of me hardcore ignoring us 😂 Die and Toshiya did the same but they are like, not so deliberate about it. They just like, cruise along while Kaoru deliberately stands there with that smirk like. hahahaa….ur not getting one alskjdnflaksjd. It makes me LAUGH 😂 The backdrop was emblazoned with the band’s name and tour title again, and Kaoru was the last to leave. He left with smiles and waves and gestured strongly at the backdrop which got an additional cheer. Then he left! And I immediately became a boneless blob…I think my muscles took a whole week to recover from this show.

Zepp Fukuoka 

This is a VERY Kyo centric report I am sorry for all the things that ESCAPED ME!

So this show made me never, ever want to miss a Dir live in Fukuoka ever again. Tonight was so emotional!! This is the third time I’ve seen Dir in Fukuoka and the second time I’ve seen them at the Zepp, although I believe it  has been completely re-done and is a different venue to the time I saw them there in 2015. To get inside the hall we had to go down two flights of stairs and inside it felt very intimate. I had a good number and had a nice spot just at the back of the pit in front of the first rail which is where I love to be. I was right between Toshiya and Kyo, and it was such a good spot.

Kyo’s outfit tonight I absolutely LOVED, he was wearing the HELL out of a calf-length pleated black skirt with his tabi boots and a white dress shirt done up at the neck with a black ribbon, plus a slim black harness over the shirt as well. There were several times where I was just completely transfixed by his silhouette, and the ‘flow’ this long skirt gave his body and movements.

Zetsuentai had a BIGGER impact tonight and honestly there were a couple of moments for me where tears came on…when he broke into ”aa, damashi au koto de dare…” my heart felt like it was being squeezed and tears just came out…the second one, after “kono sekai mienakereba jibun no mama de ireru”, was even worse..and then when he broke into “shinjite mireba…” I was practically gasping for air…not due to heavy crying, because i wasn’t, but I was just overcome with emotion that couldn’t find it’s way out in tears…my whole body felt like a prison and I just wanted to scream. So Zetsuentai was…amazing tonight, it was only topped by the second night in Okinawa. Because that night, it was mid-set… I was VISIBLY not the only person having an emotional breakdown.

The final riff in Zetsuentai ground to a halt and the hall erupted in feral screaming, completely drowning out the final notes of the track and then oh my god…we slid into Ningen and I experienced extreme catharsis lmao oh my god…Kyo spoke as those opening chords sounded and we roared at him and that’s all I can remember except for headbanging and singing my heart out…it was Bliss. At the end of Ningen there was an break and Kyo sat on the drum stand and just looked at the crowd, and Toshiya left the stage. They did this during every break this evening. The screaming was deafening, just absolutely amazing. Growling. It drew to an end we had Downfall, Devote, Celebrate and Merciless. I just can’t…Fukuoka  LOVED Downfall, we were singing the FUCK outta that bridge well before the section that Kyo gives to us and he LOVED it, and then Devote started and Kyo was moving all over the place and did the whole song basically right at the edge of the stage, pointing and gesturing and making faces. Celebrate was a DANCE, we had some BOPS. There was this super passionate guy right next to me who just got down SO HARD for this song as well, we had the SPACE to dance and bop so we just did it and I just lajskdnflaksjd the Toshiya fangirls to my front-left were also just having the BEST fucking time. I kept hearing this girl sing out “Toshiyaaaaaa” in this really quite melodious voice all night laksjdnlf. Kyo’s dancing was also wonderful, his long skirt accentuated his hip movements uhuhu 😭

Merciless Cult is a blur, I could DIE. At the start Kyo snarled “掛かって来い!!!” at us and there was a lot of shrieking and oh my god that mosh…Kaoru and Die were LOVING it and Kyo was shaking his entire body at us as we screamed “GASP” and oh my god oh my god… Kyo just wordlessly howled at us to sing “kurikaeshi tsuranuku…aaaa, doko ka, kowarete yuku” and people SCREAMED with Kyo as he broke out at the end of the line and threw ourselves back into the riff….I am honestly shaking just thinking about it.

And then Keigaku came after the second interlude with a lot more feral screaming and oh. my. god. This Keigaku is INCOMPARABLE and probably my FAVOURITE performance that I have ever witnessed of this song. Kyo sighed creepily into the mic at the start, making these sinuous movements with his body and voice that were just COMPLETELY captivating and then slid into those obscure words…before each heavy riff he just HOWLED, it was like his body was taken over by the song completely. During the thrash sections the crowd went WILD and I don’t mean just movement I mean people were screaming, i was losing my mind. By the time the second verse sidled up we were so hypnotised it felt like everyone there was swaying in sync and we drew into that riff again, Kyo was singing COMPLETELY different lyrics and in that small empty space before Kaoru crashes in he CACKLED into the mic and then just shrieked…oh my god oh mygod. He sang “me o mukeyou to wa shinai, sou made shite itsuwarita…” with such a sensual quality like he was winding in on himself… then as it ended he uttered those omitted (?) words…はやく死ね (“fucking die quickly”; personally i feel like the sentiment is very like “i hope you drop dead” but that’s my impression)… 

and those words led straight into Aka, which left a MUCH bigger impression than in Kanazawa because god following Keigaku… In the second verse he sang different lyrics and then called on us to sing…it felt very subdued and hopeless. Kyo looped the chord around and around again… ugh. And then Rubbish Heap ohhhhh my god. Kyo went straight to kamite at the start of Rubbish Heap and held his fist up and SHOOK it at us, and I saw more people than USUAL make fists lmao. Me and old mate next to me were jump-punching the air with every “FIST” and Kyo gestured in our direction and I know Die saw us 😂 Keibetsu and Values are just…a blur of adrenaline. I know the guys moved around during Values but I was too busy dancing to remember ljhgkhgkj.

Ranunculus was so incredibly soft tonight…At the start Kyo was breathing into the mic and the opening verse was so beautiful and during the second he became teary…he beat himself with the mic and screamed three times before the final chorus … ;_______; As it ended Kyo kept repeating “わたし…一人で…” with delay on the mic again and then just lapsed into silence. He sang those first lines of Mercy almost with a kind of lethargy…like he’d just woken up. His body looked limp as well…he started moving the mic around so his voice was smaller and more distant…and when it reached “majiwaru ima…” he just wailed it and screamed out as Shinya broke in…I was absolutely beside myself and was just standing there crying…he vocalised “mada minu mirai de kusarou” in this desperate elongated wail that is probably the most vivd memory I have from the entire concert. As he repeats “yuugi…yuugi…yuugi…” he turns and slowly draws his arm around in circles…he uses his whole body to make this shape though, using his hips to create this undulating motion that is completely hypnotic.

During the interlude after the first heavy section Kyo gnaws on his wrist. He did this in Kanazawa as well, but tonight it was rather more intense for me I think because I was more directly in front of him and he was making extremely erotic moaning and sighing and sucking sounds into the mic. >.< In Kanazawa this part was slightly alarming bc it looked like he was really BITING his wrist, but after seeing it a few times there is far more tongue than tooth action and it can be appreciated as a more ritualistic/symbolic performance. After gnawing he holds his wrist over his cupped hand as though collecting blood in it, then scoops with his fingers and smears it across his lips and eyes…all you can hear is piano and his breathing. Then he wailed “majiwaru ima…” and I immediately started crying again, as I already felt quite FRAGILE watching this. >.<

The encore was a blast. Wake + Followers was an absolute pleasure and then THEY PLAYED GAIKA and I’m pretty sure I fuckin astral projected because I can’t remember a GOD DAMN THING that might have happened!! New Age is a DIFFERENT STORY during New Age Kyo made fish-hooking gestures in his mouth with his pinky finger, dragging one side of his mouth up into a deranged smile before flinging his hand out, I remember him doing this both at kamite and in the centre, dancing around and pointing and eyeballing people. And it was during the breakdown in this song where Kyo was right in the middle and he bent forward and started doing this STOMP DANCE in time with the riffs and it was SO FUCKING DOPE UGGGHHH his expression and posture were so ON POINT it’s literally one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Kaoru also came to the middle and I absolutely screamed and shook my fist at him like a lunatic and he just jutted his chin lmfao. I cannot remember a thing from Utafumi either, it is hopeless.

Kyo stayed at the end longer than he did in Kanazawa, it was kinda sweet, with each show I attended he stayed a bit longer. He clapped and fox-kissed us and waved bye-bye and then left. the other guys stayed longer as well and threw MUCH more stuff than they did in Kanazawa. And everyone left GLOWING. Band and fans. Everyone looked so full and pleased, it was wonderful. I feel like the whole band and everyone in the crowd had a wonderful night. ❤️
