#I still can’t paint tho ahaha

[timethehobo]

Had a long day so all I could do was another scribbly sketch of the cute necromancer.

[pandemique]

hI!! i love your art and was wondering if you could make a tutorial showing how you paint stuff? only if you can! it's just really pretty !!

hi nonnie! thats very flattering !! i’m sorry i dont think i’ll be very helpful bc i’m a mega noob as well :D but i’ll try my very best <3

my process is very tailored for speed instead of quality (oops soz LOL) so i do suggest this for if u have short doodle breaks ⬇️⬇️⬇️

thumbnailing (for comics) -> lines (sketch who?) -> bucket tool/color drop in the base color -> color in the lines -> one multiply layer for a “base” shadow (in the vid below its purple!) -> one (1) render/paint layer a.k.a lawless no man’s land

full rendering process & more general painting tips below the cut‼️

NOTE: i’ll be focusing more on traditional/fundamental tips for stylized art because i’m sure there’s a much more effective way in digital. I truly do only use one normal layer for render... i think this is bc before i made this blog, my only prior experience in drawing is middle school art class, so all i know is traditional painting on one layer.... pray i can answer this again in the future with something smarter lmao

🌺 MY PAINT PROCESS

1. Choose a color scheme!

It doesn’t have to be set in stone like below, but i at least keep in mind the color range i’d like to use depending on what i want to convey (ex. soft pastels for soft fluff, or warm colors for happy vibes). I try to be as limited as possible for base colors because I tend to go ham when painting, you’ll see later AHAHA

2. Base coloring + Base shadow

Base -> bucket tool in the color scheme (I know other artists are against this but when i discovered the bucket tool in digital art I immediately divorced manual coloring i’m sorry i loved you tho bae) (this is why my style and lines are simplistic as they are, so the color drop works!)

Base shadow -> in theory, warm-colored light creates cool-colored shadows and vice versa. because i’m a fluff addict i mainly use warmer light, so i like using blue/purple as the shadow. generally u can’t go wrong with complementary colors!! (yellow light & purple shadows / orange light & blue shadows).

I make a new multiply layer (decreased opacity just bc i like things soft okay) and clip it on the base layer, then block in the areas i think would get blocked from the light.

3. Color in the lines!

for simplistic styles i swear this works wonders. i just clip a layer to the lineart and manually color the lines with a darker but more saturated version of the base color. it just tends to look more dead i guess with low saturation lol (ex. u can see above i use both peach and red or pink for lines of skin, i guess it implies the blood under the skin too. or something :D)

4. RENDERRRR

when i’m not in a rush i just paint things completely (and mindlessly), but here are the things i almost always do:

line the shadows with a saturated color! i’m not sure this is common but i love it lol, in almost all my doodles just check the shadows—on the edges, there’s bound to be a wild color :D (usually its the light color, shadow color or a color scheme color but sometimes i’m just like boY do i loVe piNk)

my art major friend told me about saturated colors on desaturated bases and my life was changed forever lol. u can see below even when my base is very grayyy, my rendering is very gay :D ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

make the shadows darker where i think they should be darker. usually i can just colorpick from that darker, saturated lineart color!

if it’s a more realistic piece i usually make the highlights lighter, but in simple doodles i find it unnecessary, and i dont like how light/white it looks :( i tend to just make the areas exposed to light more saturated

color in the rebound light~ in reality there’s usually not only one primary light source, at least there’d be secondary light from where light bounces off objects. in art we just emphasize that! so in large shadow areas, or in areas close to other objects/colors, i like to ‘splash’ other colors on

yeah this part is less intuitive for beginners and u have to learn a grasp on the concepts over time, like for lighting and structure. values can be more important than color, so i do suggest learning shading first before coloring, but only if u like (u can always be like me and just pull up references when u dont get how the light would fall on some materials :>). i have more general paint tips below! don’t give up okay, i believe in u nons, we’re all still in the eternal learning process together ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

5. OOOOHHH SHINY ✨🤩

this step is just me being mesmerized by how easy it is to play with lighting in digital. i play around with the layer settings (multiply for shadow, overlay for light, and often try out the other settings too!). my favorite effect is the highlight glow thing, where u just make a copy layer of the highlights below the original layer, and blur it slightly so it looks like glow ✨✨🤩 overpriced acrylic could never

6. COLOR ADJUST / EDIT

Truthfully i usually skip this step, but my more pro friends really vouch for it!! i think definitely an incredible thing with digital is that u can edit proportions and even color after you’re done. i think they usually use like the curves adjustment layer in photoshop until they get colors they like, but for me, well, in a reaally diligent day i like to slap on the “auto” fliter in the iphone’s photos edit button lmaoooo

🌺 GENERAL PAINTING TIPS

learn basic theory: i think theres free courses everywhere online, but heres a few things u might like to have a basic understanding of: color, perspective, shape language, lighting, composition. don’t sweat it too much tho, it should be fun to explore the concepts!

and for drawing hoomans: proportion, gesture, expression, and veery basic anatomy. i find that overall forms are so much more important to learn than like detailed anatomy bc u can always look it up lol

but remember, u mostly want to learn the rules so u know better ways to break them :)

uuuuse manyyyyy referencessss every time u draww!

^this includes other people’s art — when u see good stuff, figure out why u like it and apply it to ur own art

get feedback!!!!

draw tons!!! brainrot helps !! ;D

aaand thank u for coming to my ted talk! sorry for the ramble nonnie, i hope u got something out of this lol

haikyuu x otome: masterlist |  prologue

» synopsis:  a haikyuu x reader au where you, the player, are bound for university in a metropolis several hours away from home. hope and excitement are replaced with dread as you come to realize that juggling life as a student and a part-time employee takes a toll. from demanding classes to a ruthless manager, life just can’t seem to give you a break. that is, until you meet a certain someone who reminds you how to live and follow your dreams. somehow, when you’re with them, time stands still. maybe things are finally starting to look up. if only you could stay in those moments for just a little longer. 

» disclaimer: i do not own haikyuu or any of the pixels in this post (i simply made collages out of them)

edit: it’s been brought to my attention that another HQ writer may have written something similar to this idea in the past and I was unaware. Though I haven’t seen this particular type of thing written yet, I don’t mean to claim this event idea as my own bc I feel a lot of events that ppl put up may have some overlapping themes n such (tho this idea would def be more specific and be cause for concern of plagiarism) and bc I would never want to steal ideas/not ask other writers first/not credit other writers (that’s not cool fam). If you have any issues with this event, pls bring them up w me, and if you know any other writers who’ve done smth similar, pls share w me their URLs! thank u for ur understanding :) I hope u can still enjoy haikyuu x otome :’)

» how to play:

I. you can refer here for the general rules of my blog. also, for this event (and it’ll say in the descriptions below), i’m only accepting one character per request. also the word count limits i wrote here may change as im getting started on actually writing requests lol

II. essentially a collection of x reader one-shots, drabbles, and smaus in which you are a busy college student whose only break seems to be spending time with friends who actually get you or the 15-minute lunch break during which you get to ignore annoying customers

III. since this is otome-inspired, i have several options you can choose from. these options are essentially types of requests:

» everyday is a new start 

» drabble about how you meet the character of your choice  

» it is not guaranteed y’all are gonna gel (get along) when you first meet,, warning: if the character is usually a bitch, i may write them as one LMAO jkjk but fr

» usually light, fluffy, and/or silly

» hmm tbh,,, idk word count,,, probs anywhere between 700-1k words (i edited this word count after writing my first thing bc HNNN)

» the only characters you can’t request this for is yamaguchi, tsukki n hinata,,, bc you meet them in the prologue AHAHA sry it’s nothing too spaicy since it’s just in the intro

» it’s all in the little things

» one-shots about normal, daily interactions with the character of your choice

» in other words, these include what can go on in a day in the life of y/n and the character of your choice (after they’ve already met). in the city, the possibilities are endless

» give me a word (or several, cuz writing is hard lmao. also legit any word, like ‘orange’ or ‘nostalgia.’ i may choose only one or do a combination from your list :3) as a prompt and ill somehow make something of it lmao

» medium relationship development + exp

» 700-1.5k words

» hmmm what should i get today?

» very short drabble with a character of your choice about various scenarios and thots i have in my head

» a complete surprise, totally random, may have no context

» may be serious, fluff, crack, etc. 

» if u choose this u basically told me ‘surprise me’

» 100-300 words, depends on my mood

» when i see your name pop up on the screen, i can’t help but smile 

» short smau with a character of your choice 

» fluff or crack, ur choice or leave that up to me (if unspecified, ill just flip a coin)

» you can either give me a word(s) as a guide or leave the topic of convo up to me

» 2-4 panels

» you’d be surprised how much can happen in a day 

» BMO has nothing to do with this, i just found a cute pixel of him

» spaicy relationship development, the scenes in which you actually make progress in the game

» one-shot with a character of your choice

» order from the following:

» macaron: when they realize they’ve fallen for you

» banana bread: when you realize you’ve fallen for them

» iced americano: when they feel a tinge of jealousy 

» hot chocolate: when they see you crying  

» matcha latte: when they have a longing to be around you

» cupcake: love confession (may be intentional or accidental)

» major relationship development + exp + sometimes confusion

» 1-2k words

» these will probs take me longer

» all good things must come to an end

»  not as angsty as those bolded words above sound,,, unless you want it to be >:)

» drabble or one-shot with a character of your choice. the final interaction before finishing the game

» you have three options: good end (fluffy, romantic & the like), bad end (angst), or crack end (surprise)

» word count will be super variable, from 300-1.5k words

IV. this forces me to write one-shots, drabbles, anything but hc’s, and also forces me to limit my word count. that said, this will take me a hot minute, y’all. word counts may change too bc i am,,, indecisive n untalented AHAHA

V. search for ‘haikyuu x otome,’ ‘haikyuu x otome special,’ ‘haikyuu x reader otome’ tags! i will tag each work under these c:

got it? have a request for me? send me an ask or submission! 

request example: ‘start new game with akaashi’ or ‘love challenge with yachi in the empty lecture hall at night’ or ‘continue story with noya. words: tired, mangoes, music’ 

feel free to ask me if ur confused about anything and have questions! thank you so much for reading <3 im excited for this heh

inspired by recent haikyuu otome teasers i keep seeing online and the fact that i dropped my summer class and am taking on personal projects (like painting my room LMAO i gotta manifest my inner buff daddee ushi to move shit in my room bc i kid u not everything is rlly heavy in here. and i also delved back into otomes on my phone,, does anyone else play midnight cinderella or mr love LOL talk 2 me)

haikyuu x otome masterlist

[creepweirdo]

don’t worry about slow replies or w/e this is meant to be fun when you can!! but capitalism is the worst. and yesss, my faves openly support lgbt+ fans they’re good boys. i almost missed the yoi news because of the destiel spam so i wasn’t even sure if it was a joke at first either. tumblr is on fire right now. it wasn’t that art but wow also HELLO SIR I AM LOOKING not very respectfully i am but a weak bi. i used to read a load but quarantine brain is broken so i cant focus on novels now.

i want to read tgcf but i keep flopping after like 5 pages but also san lang hot and i heard there’s wlw in it?? cloud recesses does look so pretty to live in but i’m such a nhs, i just want to sit in his nie sect and paint fans and look at pretty things all day. let other people swing swords and all, gossip is way more powerful. rogue cultivator tho your mind! this is the best answer to this question. and that’s not lame, the reason my s/o is the best is bc they know i like to have my own time

most of the time and we can just sit and chill in quiet for hours. it’s perfect. OK! mdzs question which char deserved better (so many choices…) and tell me about other fandoms you’re into/active if you have any more!

hi classified cultivator!!

LMAO THE DESTIEL SPAM. all those memes about the 2020 bingo card - destiel canon, yoi return, and now the marvel trailer for the sambucky show 💀💀 they’re going to queerbait us so bad i’m in love with the chaos that is going to happen 😍❤️

i took me a little bit to get into it too 😭 all the word building but it gets better ❤️ ahaha it’s just vibes - i was like wow i’m pretty sure this is all important information but yeah i’m still a little confused. i was given a character sheet google doc/drive thing that might be able to clarify some things!! i’ll link it at the end! and omg wlw!!! lmao they haven’t shown up in the 100 chapters i’ve read but that info has made me excited 👀 maybe i’ll continue reading it on my days off this week ahaha!

OKAY BUT TRUE THATS MY SECOND CHOICE - to be nhs and vibe all day 💀❤️ and be a gossiper and mastermind on the side 😼 i am a gemini after all HAHAHA.

omg which character deserved better 😭😭 oh no, my gut reaction of lan zhan of course 💔 i’m still thinking about that fic i read like 2 weeks ago where it was his life recovering and grieving after the 30 lashes ahhh all the pain he went through and waiting 13 years for wwx to come back!!! that really really breaks my heart. and then all the things before like his fucked up childhood, mum dying, dad dying, cloud recesses burning, getting his leg broken, pinning after someone, and having the love of your life DIE!!!! wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭 it hurts me so much.

oooo other fandoms - so i never really contribute to any of the fandoms i’ve been in. i just sit back and observe ❤️ and i’m normally into one fandom at a time. for some weird reason hannibal doesn’t count 💀 i will always be laughing at that show HAHAH.

but before mdzs tbh i was honestly just waiting for another fandom to take me 😭 so i watched avatar the last air bender and the legend of korra in june/july this year and ahhh it was so good!! and i read heaps of fic and my other blog basically became an avatar blog ahaha. then before that the september-december period of 2019 was my it chapter 2 era bc i saw the movie at the cinema and the whole reddie thing - having the love of your life die before telling them that you love them 💔 (whoops spoilers lol). and before that i honestly can’t remeber??? i think my fandom blog was more of a multi fandom blog with posts from everywhere - rather than just super focused on one thing like it is now HAHA. no regrets ❤️

i think this will be more on an indicator - my top fandoms in my AO3 bookmarks are:

mdzs captain america 💀 lol this is why i’ve relapsed with the sambucky show les miserables avatar game of thrones hannibal inception yuri on ice

hahaha that’s so funny - that basically sums up the last 5 years of my life 💀

what about you - who do you think deserved better? and what other fandoms are you into/active in?

oops my phone is about to die 😳 so i’m gonna post this asap HAHAH

thank you for the questions haha ❤️

[cozyteez]

Hii, do u have any tips for writing fics?? I’m so used to writing research reports, lab reports, and formal essays that creative writing has become something I really struggle with. I guess it’s having the freedom to write anything and not knowing how to make sure it’s not corny. I tried outlining a fic one time but it was so frustrating LOLOLOL. Anyways, I love your ateez fics. They are so cute and creative!!

hi !!!! im like rlly touched u asked me and i feel u actually that's why i started this blog; im a biomedical engineering major so as u can imagine i dont get to take much creativity with what i write because writing papers and reports and proposals are so formulaic and u gotta stick to the facts so that being said i actually tested out of all my college writing classes so all my writing knowledge is from ap english in hs lmao so take it w many grians of salt

the #1 thing i do when im feeling sort of unmotivated about a story or maybe like like dragging myself thru mud to write it is to just write the "fun" part first. to me the fun part is usually the climax or maybe the like the "wouldn't it be cute if..." moment that came to mind that inspired me to write a blurb in the first place! then usually once i sort of get the ball rolling on that my brain will help me out and keep the momentum going by thinking of maybe "oohh okay maybe this can happen next" or "oohh and what if this led up to it" or !! just stop there !! something ive learned from my mx writing blog which is like a year older than this one was that you don't owe anybody context especially for a blurb so maybe it really is just 3 sentences of a cute moment u thought of like its whatever ur the one writing it

now for longer fics im going to be honest jongho's first love is my first and only completed attempt at a multi stage coherent story. and that was fueled purely based on the fact that when i look at jongho he just gives off sort a really excited sort of innocence that i wanted to further explore and personify through the idea of him experiencing love for the first time but even then i really struggled w the last part because that's where my personal experience stopped and i had basically nothing to go off of because ive never been in love so i did have to kinda wait for ideas to come to me. for prince yunho i have posted 4 chapters but have all the way through chapter 15 drafted. and by drafted i mean it's like 3 sentences of the overall idea. again, the fic was inspired by the duality between yunho's on stage vs. off stage persona where if somebody was to watch an ateez performance for the first time they may find him very serious and maybe even intimidating but atiny would know that his off stage persona (the one he choses to create for us anyways) is very silly and happy-go-lucky and approachable, which is why prince yunho is seen as narameth's strong and stoic pride and joy but in reality he's sort of clumsy but means well. so i let that and his relationship w xenia who is an original character (OC) sort inspire stories or interactions that i force into a plot line. so for example i believe when i first started thinking abt a prince au for yunho i thought "wouldn't it be funny if the first scene started out painting him as this strong and serious man and then cut to him choking on food or something" and that sort of inspired the idea of him being nervous abt the speech and then xenia came out of that because he needed a complementary character imo since i knew he was gonna be kind of one dimensional and then his backstory with xenia inspired other ideas and then one day i was sad and wanted a hug so that inspired a piece of the plot line and so on. so basically: let an idea or even an aspect of somebody come to you and just write it down, let it inspire other ideas. and don't be afriad to completely start over. i wrote a whole chapter for prince yunho and deleted the whole thing because i hated where it was going and started back from scratch. sometimes you have to revisit things abt your characters and their relationships with others to get a new idea. there's a story in every person and every relationship you just have to find the clues

here's an example of what i mean by "write the good part first". this is typically what the very first draft of a blurb will look like for me

((( blah blah blah basically its raining and y/n is sad bc wooyoung broke her heart two weeks ago idk maybe go into it maybe not)))

y/n is all sad and feeling sorry for themselves on the couch theyre past crying but still feel pretty shitty plus it's storming and cold outside. great

there's a knock on their door ofc they have the cliche "who could that be moment" even tho they lowkey know. we literally all know

so yeah wooyoung's there soaked in rain eyes puffy y/n thinks he's been crying

-this would be the "fun part". i'll fix all that garbage up top later or maybe even change it completely idk yet-

"y/n? i - uh. hi"

he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck while you crossed your arms over your chest, fighting the urge to close the door and walk away for good

"hi? really wooyoung? is that the best you can do?"

(((wooyoung does smth idk)))

"well i just -"

"you just what? showed up here in the rain after you broke my heart and didn't even bother to tell me why? this isn't some romance movie, asshole. you can't just come here late at night and expect to find me all sad and willing to take you back because i'm not. so say what you're gonna say so i can get back to my life"

your face was red hot and you trying very hard, probably too hard, to fight back tears. ((( idk talk some more abt y/n's emotions then what wooyoung is doing)))

"look, i made a mistake i-"

"oh my god! why did i know you were gonna do this. i just knew as soon as i saw you-"

"will you let me get a fucking word in!?"

well that was new. in the entire time you'd known him he had never raised his voice at you like that, your shock causing you to immediately close your mouth and fold your arms back into yourself (((make y/n seem more scared))) noticing your reaction, he lowered his voice back down and instictively reached for you, heartbroken at the way you jerked away from his touch

"please y/n, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to raise my voice it's just that i need to tell you that i regret what i did i regret breaking up with you so fucking much and you don't have to take me back i just need you to know how much you meant, no, mean to me. i still love you, a lot. there's not a day, an hour, a minute, or a single second that goes by that i'm not thinking of you"

"then why?"

your voice was small and wavering, your tears now dangerously close to spilling down your cheeks

"why what?"

"why did you break up with me like that, just all of a sudden"

he pushed his hands into his pockets and looked away

"because that morning i woke up before you and when i looked at you asleep next to me, i saw myself spending the rest of my life with you and it scared the shit out of me"

"why did it scare you?"

"because i just figured you didn't feel the same. i was selfish and wanted to save myself heartbreak down the line and so i told you i didn't wanna be with you anymore, but that was a mistake because it turns out i can't function with out you, i can't breathe without you i can't live without you, y/n. i shouldn't have let you go"

tears were now freely flowing down your face (((okay brain no work anymore y/n kisses him duh and then ofc they make up wooyoung prob says smth cheesy and y/n is like ur lucky i love you or smth ahaha the end)))

tl;dr -> don't be afraid to get messy. creative writing is not nearly as structured as academic/scientific writing. write whatever u want first it can even be the middle of a huge fight scene or some dialogue u think is funny. if ur stuck read what you have or maybe just take a break and let an idea come to you. a story doesnt have to come together til the very end so it can be as messy and out of order as u want until u wanna post it. also i would always use the third person omniscient point of view for a longer story like a chaptered fic as a default and only change if it would impact the plot in a negative way. this is where the narrator knows what every character is thinking/feeling and im p sure a teacher in middle school told me it was the easiest to write and follow

Together forever (??? & Vincent)

(Warning: Uhh not sure how to tag this one, but there’s a scene where some might(?) find disturbing because of imagery. It’s nothing bloody or guts, but it’s stuffing. I can’t go in-depth as to why it’s like this yet tho since I haven’t introduced the character this is about. Don’t worry about him though, all I can say is that he’s like Vincent so he can’t feel physical pain.)

“What did you do?” A low growl came from Vincent as his eyes narrowed at the young man before him. His eyes give off a reddish pink glow as he feels anger course through him. Keeping his focus on the man in the dim lit room.

“Hm? What do you mean?” The young man smiles at Vincent as he cocks his head, his white bangs slightly swaying to the side. He walks over to a bed with a white canopy, the bed’s comforter is a pastel blue. It’s a lovely color, but the drops of dried blood stains the cover. Sitting down on top of it, the white haired man sighs happily as if he’s in love. Looking fondly down at the sheets, he glides his hand across the soft surface.

Looking around the room, Vincent notices the various drawings and paintings along the wall. They’re all of different types of jellyfish, some short and cute with small dots on them. Others have long stingers accompanied by frills that look like lace, and some of them have a simple flower shape on top of them. On the wall, a painting of the same stranger and a young girl are smiling together. He looks back to the figure on the bed as he hears him speak up.

“You know, I didn’t hate her or anything like that.” says the young man as his hand stops petting the comforter. His finger moves to each blood stain on the cover, as if he was connecting the dots to a drawing, “I loved her dearly, and I still do…” his tracing abruptly stops, “but then they had to take her away from me.” his finger presses into the spot that it stopped in, his face is clam. But the pressure and the way his hand is shaking says something else. A sick crack is slightly muffled by the sheets, he lifts his index finger up and the tip is bent in the opposite direction. It looks broken and how far the finger has bent would make any human scream in pain or become panicked, but the young man laughs at the sight. Vincent grimaces at the scene of the young man as he uses his other hand to crack the joint back into place.

“Did you know Vincent?” he reaches his hand to touch the top of the white canopy, “That you too can stay with your beloved? It’s really easy, she and I did it.” plopping his hand down, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small pair of sharp scissors. “If you can’t bear to see her be taken away…then you can always make her a part of you.” pressing one point of the blade into his skin at the end of his forearm, he glides the blade up to his wrist. The sickening sound of fabric ripping apart tares through the room’s silence. The sight of red puffs out from the cut. It looks soft like cotton, but the lack of the color of pure white alarms Vincent.

“Ahaha! You should see the look on your face—isn’t it wonderful?” he sets down the scissors and caresses the crimson stuffing, “To be together with your human forever. You don’t have to worry about them growing too old for toys or being swiped away by someone else…” he brings his forearm close to his cheeks and nuzzles into it lovingly, “I’ve been together with her forever and she’ll continue to be with me forever too.”

BECAUSE I’M NOT POPULAR, I’LL READ WATAMOTE: CHAPTER #164

Hey, not dropping the ball actually worked!

We’re just a hair’s length away from summer vacation, but unlike last year when Tomoko approached summer with not much consideration, she’s now taking a proactive role in deciding how to spend her last summer in high school. At first glance, Tomoko appears to have become a responsible, young lady. But as we soon will see, that can-do attitude may not be as refined as it looks on the surface.

Chapter 164: Because I’m Not Popular, I’ll Do My Best Starting From Summer Break 

There’s that time period during the day when most students have already left but school hasn't quite closed up. It’s pretty creepy, even more so before summer break when you’re expected not to stick around.

Have I mentioned Itou is a cute? ‘Cause she is.

It’s usually her looking after Komiyama, so it’s really sweet to see the dynamic flipped around like this. Despite, well, everything, Komiyama is a good friend.

Assuming that cheering for the baseball teams is optional, it’s endearing to see Itou go through with it. Even though baseball isn’t her thing, she’s likely doing it to support her bestie, which I can 110% get behind.

Ah, right. Dude’s in the manga club. That said, I wonder if their plans are for just being attendees, or if they’ll actually be manning a booth and selling their work. With his skills and, er, preferences, I think Hatsushiba could do the latter.

Don’t be so modest, Tomoko. There’s no slouching either when you’re a three-year veteran of the Going-Home Club. 

Studying during summer break? Outrageous!!

It’s intriguing to see just how Tomoko’s study habits have evolved throughout the series. The early days would see her spend summer goofing off on her hobbies, with bare minimum concern for academics. But now, Tomoko is actually considering studying on her own accord. Sure, it’s more-or-less a fallback when she has nothing else planned, but the thought itself is still worth mentioning.

Is that one of those mini-fans that you can carry around in your bag? I love those things.

Study camp, huh? Any other day, Tomoko would be apathetic to the idea, leaning more on the side of brushing it off. But having Katou bring it up makes all the difference, ‘cause let’s be real. Katou could ask her to sign up for a hostess bar at the Red Light District and Tomoko would still seriously consider it.

Miss you, Yuu-chan.

I second that, Komi. Fourteen hours of studying a day is brutal, even if that’s to be expected in what is essentially a boot camp. I’ve always questioned the efficiency of cram schools and the like, mostly because they seem to prepare more for short-term memorization than long-term understanding. But even it actually works in principle...

...I’m not sure Tomoko will be able to handle it.

Perhaps it’s just me, but it feels like Tomoko is overestimating her discipline for studying. She already struggled with Katou’s flashcards and study sessions that a whole training camp feels like it would have a more detrimental effect on Tomoko than a positive one. “Work hard, play hard” was never meant to be that extreme, Tomoko.

That’s...genuinely uplighting. Tomoko has missed out on several of the key “memorable” high school moments, and she usually lets it go with only mild regrets. But here, Tomoko’s actively trying to gain what she once lost. Sure, she’s trying to “game the social system” a little, but what did you expect? She’s a person, not a saint.

This was Yuu’s only line in this entire chapter. My girl deserves more than this.

Will the 2% of Tomoko’s personality that is tsundere ever realize that if you really “didn’t care either way”, then you wouldn’t have asked the question to begin with? Doubt it.  

That romaji tho.

It comes to the surprise of absolutely no one that Komiyama has some pretty...vivid fantasies about Tomoki. But what stands out to me is how deep into the relationship her thoughts go. Most people fantasize about their crush first in their sexual attractiveness, but only a few ever dream beyond that. Ironically, you know your crushing has gone off the deep end if you start thinking about them in domestic, SFW ways. Least Komi’s committed, yeah?

Gee, I wonder what’s that “and stuff” Tomoko’s talking about?masturbating

Nothing like a fresh bowl of Grossi-Os and Gross Juice to start the day!

If what Yuri says is true, then that would mean that she and Ucchi have probably walked to school together several times before–more than the couple of times we’ve seen, at least. And even so, it doesn’t look like they haven’t gotten much closer as friends, if at all. Some people just don’t click, I suppose.

Not sure how blind Ucchi is because anybody with a pair of eyes (beady or not) would see that Yuri has friends, even if you only count Mako. Poor girl just can’t accept the truth even when it's right in front of her face.

Ah, Yuri. Why can’t you just drop the “savior” act and just admit you want to spend time with her?

I’m inclined to agree about Yoshida, but who knows? She’s surprised us before. Mako's a safe bet, though. Especially if the former’s going. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Boy, does that take me back. It still blows my mind that all of Ucchi’s problems originated from one night of misunderstandings. The art nerd in me really appreciates the subtle improvement in Niko’s art style. The character models feel “weightier” and more consistent without compromising the stylization. 

You don’t see it in the previous panel, but Ucchi was totally blushing at the prospect of reliving her trauma/dream. Perhaps she was also looking to live out that ping pong match she never got.

I’m not sure if there was some kind of wordplay in the original text. Either way, it kind of sucks for Yuu-chan that she got such a “flattering” nickname when she wasn’t involved in that scenario whatsoever. Though it sure is a tad classier than Miss Akari “Dick Sister Jr.’ Iguchi.

It’s kind of (read: absolutely) frightening how Katou’s envy towards Yuu feels a lot more intense than Yuri’s. Perhaps it’s because Yuri’s so transparent that you know how to deal with her. But with Katou, that air of secrecy feels like a nuclear bomb about to go off. 

I always wondered where girls picked up that thing where they intertwine their fingers as a sign of affection. It’s precious.

Praise modern technology for convenient storytelling.

Wow, Fuuka’s already made her mark on Tomoko’s “bitch” list. Though exactly why she’s on that list now is kind of odd. I mean, yeah, she asked Tomoko about the whole fondling thing, and she unintentionally presented herself as a pervert for the whole “hair” thing, but Fuuka hasn’t really done anything all that terrible. If anything, Tomoko is probably expressing a rare bit of jealousy towards someone else supposedly perving on Katou besides her.

The most striking part about Fuuka’s inevitably failed plan is that she describes Tomoko’s appearance as “sudden”. It was touched on before, but it further emphasizes that Tomoko’s friendship with Katou was just as unexpectedly quick in-universe as it was for the readers. And in doing so, it brings us one step closer to the real mystery over why Katou is so enamored with Tomoko in the first place. 

Ya’ll know Sayaka’s got her homegirl’s back on this one. Let’s see (hopefully) how Akari screws it up. 

Chapter 58, mothereffers!

I don’t know whether I’d say Nico Tanigawa has been playing the long game, or if they just found a convenient throwaway to capitalize on. But the acknowledgment itself is very much appreciated. Tomoko may have forgotten, naturally, but us overzealous fans certainly never did! 

The chills, man. Chill’s right up the spine.

It’s certainly true that Tomoko’s words can be interpreted in a good or bad way, so it’s pretty telling that Katou’s gut reaction went for the latter. It suggests that Katou may actually have some insecurities that can easily set her off. Then again, a defining part of Katou’s personality is that she takes everything Tomoko says at completely face value, so maybe she’s starting to see Tomoko’s negativity even if it’s not there. Just more of the enigma that is Asuka Katou.  

Not a bad save, Tomoko. Countless battles with shame have made her quick on the fly. Unfortunately, while she’s improved at starting a save...

...she still doesn’t know how to end it.

It would’ve been a clean getaway if Tomoko had just ended about half-way in the above panel. But because Tomoko’s anxiety causes her to try and cover all the bases, she ends up rambling suspiciously. The part about Nemo isn’t even that relevant, but in her burst of defensiveness, Tomoko ends up saying things that could just exacerbate the problem even further.

Fucking shit, Katou is damn scary.

The one fortunate thing about Tomoko’s defensive rambles is that once she starts to cool down, her honesty starts coming out more organically. Self-deprecation becomes self-reflection, and brings to the forefront Tomoko’s endearing side.

Only Tomoko could spout such a cliché moe line and sound so pure of heart. Must be the irony. 

Aha. Ahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

–that totally didn’t happen.

Tomoko, girl, you’re in the CLEAR! Stop trying to fan flames that have already been put out.

But on that note, it does affirm that while Tomoko is honest with Katou about certain things (perversion, laziness), she isn’t quite ready to be honest on anything that would paint Katou in a bad light. I’d say tha’st about 85% due to fear.

Death Flags raised all around.

I had a feeling that Nemo would take the plunge this time and invite Tomoko out somewhere during the summer. It seems like such an insignificant gesture, but considering that this is the very first time a classmate has asked to hang out with her during the summer, it warms my heart.

Hey now, Tomoko. Don’t get cocky when you’re maximizing your own goof-off time by taking a study camp.

The easy guess is that Nemo wants to go to Comiket. But really, it could be anything that Tomoko would have an interest in. And because it’s implied that Nemo is going for research purposes, it could be anything from a seiyuu panel (the last one went so well) to a hot spring to a hentai game company. Hope they bring Okada along...

Mama senses her daughter’s giving in to peer pressure.

Not gonna lie. This hand gesturing from Rena made me think that she was thinking about doing...something else.

Damn mind-in-the-gutter.

Even though Anna doesn’t appear to be the studious type, it’s pretty cool to see that she can respect people who are. Also, I dig the way she wears her tie (or is that a ribbon?). 

Emoji II really has become an honorary delinquent and it fits her perfectly. 

I guess no matter how much more grounded Tomoko becomes, she still thinks reading manga is legitimate practice for playing in real-life (though tabletop games may actually allow for some truth).  

Sub!Tomoko confirmed.

What a way to end a chapter. For the longest, Katou had always viewed Tomoko through a pair of rose-tinted glasses, always seeing the girl’s faults as endearing “quirks”. But as her soul-piercing gaze seems to indicate, Katou has reached a revelation about Tomoko that she can actually disapprove of. Whether or not it’ll shatter her illusion of Tomoko is still unclear, but how she treats Tomoko from here on out may finally give us a deeper look into Katou’s psyche. 

160+ chapters we’ve followed Tomoko, and we’re still learning new things about her. The very extent of Tomoko’s agency has always been a tad murky. She’s good at (poorly) executing short-term ideas, but hardly does she plan out and follow up on her long-term goals. Even her greatest milestone of making friends involved a lot of pushing from outsiders (Ogino, the most obvious case). That said, having to take charge of herself for once is inescapable with college on the horizon. How she goes about it amongst her various mom-friends may end up being Tomoko’s biggest personal challenge yet.

MUN MEME

– eight  /  LAST SONG LISTENED TO. Supersonics - Caravan Palace

– nine  /  LAST FILM WATCHED. Ne Zha!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING pls watch 

– ten  /  INSPIRATION FOR MUSE. AHAHA I started with a very basic concept: pretty boy that doesn’t act the way he looks. Sun actually has delicate features and is supposed to appear very soft/graceful at first glance, but he doesn’t really care or notice his own looks so he dresses very practically, speaks in a straightforward manner, has open and confident body language and is the physically affectionate bro-friend type...

Funnily enough, a lot of people say Sun is similar to me in personality, but I actually took a lot of inspiration for him from my best friend LMAOOO she’s a tiny girl that’s badass af, very driven, EXTREMELY BLUNT, extremely cute and pretty but the things that come out of her mouth sometimes could peel paint off the walls LMFAO

Sun has a lot of my interests too, though! I think everyone puts a bit of themselves into their ocs, right? rubs chin... I’m really into holistic healing irl, so I kinda channel my interest for herbs and nature into him. He works out a lot because I like working out a lot!!!!!! MUSCLE EMOJI 

I also took inspiration from characters like Natsume (Natsume Yuujinchou), Zack (FFVII:CC), Dick Grayson (Nightwing), and Izuku (BNHA), who go through A LOT OF SHIT™ and still remain loving and compassionate to the core. They’re all people with the kindness to extend a warm hand despite having been hurt before. People who are so good that they make everyone else want to be good in return. It may seem simple, but that requires so much inner-strength... characters like that are deeply touching to me, so I wanted to make someone like that too kekekkekeek

Besides having an unwavering golden heart, I wanted to make Sun someone that stood firmly with his morals, someone not afraid to fight passionately for his ideals. (IRL I’m a snail pace, go-with-the-flow, absent-minded kinda person, so RPing a loudmouth is pretty fun AHAHA) But being happy all the time, even for someone very optimistic, is a bit unrealistic, so I hope I have the chance to eventually portray some aspects of himself that Sun hides behind his cheerful smile. The determination to stay kind against all odds.... I plan to take Sun’s character development in that direction. BRING ON THE ANGST!!!!! THE DRAMATIC STRUGGLE!!!! THE HURT/COMFORT!!!!!!! HooooOOO BOIIII I AM HERE FOR IT!!!!!!!! \o/

- eleven / GOD KNOWS WHERE IT WENT. I ate it, sorry!!!!! It was delicious!!!!!!!!!!

[sims2trash]

I got some free time, so

here we go

DREAMER HOUSEHOLD

So I ship Cassandra and Darren hard, but Cassandra chose Don, so I thought maybe Darren had a chance with Brandi? but... apparently no. Later on tho, they would shuffle between attracted and disgusted by each other, they have mixed feelings. Darren loves Cassandra very much and Brandi just lost her husband, maybe they both need a little time.

Dirk made a lot of new friends, he kept brining sims from other ‘hoods, one of them is Justin Cleveland. They’re good friends now.

Cassandra kept calling Darren tho uwu

Poor Darren is very worried, he had his aspiration very low and on top of it he couldn’t pay his bills :(

Dirk wanted a job real bad, to help his pop out maybe, so he’s now in the medical field, it was the highest paying job available for him.

Can I just say I love these two together? I feel Dirk is the only good thing Lillith has in her life, as sad as that sounds. In my game, almost every fight between the twins is started by Angela, so I feel it fits for Lillith to have the good boy, she deserves him.

I got a bad chance card, lool. I can’t remember why he got aspiration points, tho.

Later on he got sad, lol

Darren got a job on the Arts career, but he still wanted to paint. He reached the creativity skill level 10!

Dirk made friends with this Ottomas kid, can’t remember his name right now.

Cassandra came to visit! but Darren wasn’t home!!! ughhhh I can’t wait for them to have an affair :(

Dirk made an extra effort and now he reached the top of his career, plus he has straight As on school, he’s gonna do great in college :’)

I love this family, I feel like they’ve had a very rough time these past years, but they keep facing life with hope.

Anyways, onto the next not so hopeful family

BROKE HOUSEHOLD

ooooh boi

The only thing Dustin had in his mind was sneak out with Angela.

He left his poor mom alone :( poor Brandi, in this game she had a very rough pregnancy.

Thankfully, Beau grew up pretty early, so the house was toddler free for a while. God, I hate toddlers. (sims toddlers, not actual toddlers, btw)

seeing how Brandi has a very high cooking skill, I made her open a business to make ends meet, that was she  doesn’t need to leave the house like a regular job. It’s doing okayish, but it’s making enough money, I had to sell some stuff in the house (like that darn pool) to get her some cash.

whoops

Dustin was very hard to play this time, he only wished for unpractical things and never wanted to help his mom >:(

This is the baby btw ahaha, he’s blonde! I named him Skip :) after his dad

Little Beau loves his baby brother Skip!

Dustin was playing around with some other redhead, but to be fair, they didn’t have any chemistry. I ship Tara with Justin Cleveland, over at Belladonna Cove, but so far they’re just friends.

Brandi kept crying throughout the whole game :(  she keeps wishing on getting married and having another baby, the poor woman

Family dance time!

Then she cried again :( she’s very depressed after Skip passed. I try my best to grant her wishes but some of them can’t be done yet.

Now, let’s go from sad to angry

PLEASANT HOUSEHOLD

I like this sequence, idk

So, as usual, Mary Sue lost her job. Since this is a clean template, Kaylynn Langerak doesn’t come to clean the house, so Daniel didn’t have a chance to cheat on his wife.

He hugged her after the news, thinking maybe he’ll get some booty if he’s a good boy. Mary Gavigan came with the neighbors visit, he was attracted to her and kept getting wanting to flirt with her.

Here’s a pic from the twins just because

So this happened. Later on the Gavigans got their crush back but I couldn’t take a snapshot of that. Still, maybe there is something in the future involving Daniel and Mary...

the bitch

Look, now they’re doing fine.

Both Daniel and Mary Sue wanted to woohoo, so they did, lol.

for once the family was getting along.

Now that they fired Mary Sue after working hard for the politics career, she decided to follow her life long dream, which is to become a World Clas Ballet Dancer, lol. Go, Mary Sue!

Daniel wanted to invite Kaylynn over so he did.

I guess Lillith heard about Justin through Dirk because now they’re friends as well. I love when this happens with uberhoods.

SHOCK

(i have risky woohoo on)

Daniel is actually really happe about this news!

They stopped being enemies for a while but later on went back to old habits :( This time now, Lillith was the guilty one, oh girls.

In this game, Angela barely interacted with Dustin, lol.

So this is it for now, I had the opportunity to play sims for several families in a row and I took it lol. Next in line are the Oldies... yaaay?

[yuuniee]

(i accidentally sent the other ask sksjsj) vivienne schönheit + 🦁, asif kadr alnazar + 🌟 and charlotte mari llewellyn + heartslabyul bois (if is not posssibe then just riddle <3)

A/N: My gOd this took a lot of time since I wasn’t looking here... I’m sorry. 😭

But hey, your ask found its answer at last! 🤭

💧 Vivienne Schönheit 💧

(ft. Leona)

Their relationship is a little.. complicated, actually.

I must say, on Vivienne’s point of view, Leona seems like a tough but nice person. He doesn’t work a lot, and even if she hates his laziness, she doesn’t tell it straight to his face. Her brother does tho :)

On Leona’s point of view, however, she is just like Kalim. A happy go lucky person who is seemingly too pure for this world. But she doesn’t annoy him too much, so it’s fine.

💧 “Good morning, Leona-san~!” 😊

🦁 “...Mornin’.” 😒

💧 “😊”

📖 Asif Kadr Alnazar 📖

(ft. Kalim)

They are actually like brothers! But Jamal doesn’t approve that-

Asif always puts his juniors under his protective wings, and that includes his dorm leader who also happens to be his junior. He always smiles and greets him with a bright smile. After classes, if Jamil is not available, Asif is the one who offers to help. Kalim usually refuses that, but there are times where he happily accepts that help~

Kalim, on the other hand, often offers gifts, golds and gems as a gift of gratitude which Asif refuses. He wants to be helpful to him too, you know? Oh, and also!! Let’s not forget that he listens to the stories that Asif often tells to his dorm members, he likes his stories after all!

🦦 “The story you told was wonderful, Asif! I didn’t know you could come up with such wonderful stories!” 😲

📖 “I only indulged my dorm members with something entertaining, Kalim. After all, we do need some time of relaxation after classes.” 😌

🦦 “But it’s still amazing!” 😁

📖 “Ahaha, thank you. Maybe you can join me next time too.” 😊

🦦 “Oh, I’d LOVE to!” 😊

🎩 Charlotte Mari Llewellyn 🎩

(ft. Ace, Deuce, Trey, Cater and Riddle)

Charlotte thinks Ace is kind of annoying with his pranks, but finds his card tricks impressive. Oh, and she ruffles his hair whenever he annoys her.

Ace thinks she has some loose screws, but a good girl besides that. Also, he appreciates the hat she gave to him on his birthday, but doesn’t really show it. (He even laughed at her when she gave it to him..)

♥️ “Charlotte, would you give me a hand on feeding those flamingoes please?” 😞

🎩 “Sorry, Acey. I’m a bit busy painting the roses right now...” 😅

♥️ “Oh, come on! Can’t you stop for a moment to help a fellow dormmate?” 🥺

🎩 “If I do, Dorm Head Riddle will have both of our heads... I’m sure we don’t want this to happen, right?” 😔

♥️ “Oh, for Seven’s sake..!” 💢 💢 💢

She thinks Deuce is a decent person, unlike his roommate. Maybe a bit loud than she thinks, but still a good boy. She also ruffles his hair like she does to Ace!!

Deuce, on the other hand, thinks she is a nice person who does her best to help everyone around her. Maybe a little too much, but still...

♠️ “Charlotte? What are you doing in this late hour?”

🎩 “Making a hat?”

♠️ “For?”

🎩 “I was tired of studying, so I decided to make a hat.”

♠️ “B-but you are upside down!”

🎩 “Yeah, so?”

♠️ “You might fall down..!”

🎩 “...How cute of you to be concerned about me, Deucey... But as you can see, I’m fine!”

♠️ “(sigh)...”

Her relationship with Riddle is... complicated. I mean, she respects and looks up to him a lot. But at the same time, she fears him just as much. That doesn’t make her give up from her hat making hobby, though.

Riddle thinks she is quite.. out of line. Showing up to the unbirthday parties with bizarre hats, randomly making the chairs and the tables float in the air, painting the roses in different shades of red... But she immediately fixes her mistakes whenever she is warned or her head is offed.

🌹 “For the last time, Charlotte. You must stop showing up with bizarre hats for an unbirthday party.” 😒

🎩 “Sorry, Dorm Head Riddle.” 😔

[Charlotte takes her hat off, revealing a much smaller hat]

🌹 “Nnngh..!” 😡 💢

🎩 “Are you alright, Dorm Head Riddle? You seem a bit.. red. I don’t think I’ve painted your face red...” 🤭

🌹 “UGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!” 😡😡😡

Her relationship with Trey is quite well, actually. She often helps him out in the kitchen like bringing the flour, doing the dishes, or putting the plate on the tables.

On his end, Trey is a little embarrassed that someone is willing to help him. Whenever he needs help, he reluctantly calls Charlotte in and asks for help. She agrees, obviously! She thinks that as the vice dorm leader, Trey has a ton of responsibilities. These may wear him down, so she helps him to share the weight.

♣️ “Charlotte, can you come with me for a moment please?”

🎩 “Yes, Trey-senpai? Is there something you need me to do?”

♣️ “I was gonna ask if you can buy some eggs and some corn starch...”

🎩 “From Mr. Sam’s shop?”

♣️ “Yeah, obviously. Could you be hurry though? The unbirthday party must be ready with everything, or else--”

🎩 “Dorm Head will have both of our heads? I know, Trey-senpai... I’ll be quick as soon as possible.”

♣️ “...I’m counting on you.”

Her relationship with Cater... She likes his Magicam posts and sees them as a little fragments of memories. She thinks he likes to keep those memories. But whenever she is the one who gets in the view, she looks away and often covers the camera (or her face) with a hat.

Him, on the other hand, sees her as a fun and outgoing troublemaker who never gives them a break. When she hides her face, or covers the camera, he pretends to be frustrated, but gets the message of her not wanting to be disturbed.

♦️ “Charlotte-chan, again?” 😔

🎩 “I’m sorry, Cater-senpai... But you know I hate it when there is a camera on my face.” 😐

♦️ “Just this once~ Can’t you let it slide?” 🥺

🎩 “...Oh, for Seven’s sake...”

(SNAP!)

🎩 “There we go, happy?”

♦️ “Yep! Thank you~!”

🎩 “Eh, don’t mention it.”

tfatws ep 2 not-really-live liveblog (SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS HERE! HERE BE SPOILERS!)

and i must reiterate again THERE ARE SPOILERS AFOOT

i can’t believe it’s only been a week! the suez canal fat boat incident has really slowed down the previous few days 🥴 something else different is that this is the first ep i’ve stayed up late to watch! hype hype hype!

anyway AAAAAAAAAAAAA I HOPE THERE’S SOME ZEMO. give me the bruhl. we only have six episodes...

i just appreciate this recap because SAM is in it and BUCKY is in it and TORRES is in it and SARAH is in it and WINTER SOLDIER is in it and oh hello john walker again

zipper shot...zipper shot...zipper shot...

i am open to john walker not being awful, i promise

is this his sister? friend? girlfriend? ok probably girlfriend

“they're gonna love you” ma’am..............have you looked at the fandom lately.............

they're doing the chorus girl thing to this guy! steve hated it too, john...steve hated it too

every time i see steve in the marvel intro i feel a little bit stabbed in the neck 🙃

THE SONG IS EVEN THE SAME. did they get a real band and flag team and dance team to do the performance?

is he not enhanced then? no serum? i find that hard to believe. eh, maybe he's doping

please i’m begging you to stop mentioning tony stark

BUCKY’S FACE...nooooo...literally looks like he's about to cry 😭

sam and torres my beloveds

sam 😭 pls 😭 i’m 😭 so 😭 upset 😭 about 😭 this 😭😭😭 *eternally shrieking*

androids, aliens, and wizards. sam is completely correct, that’s who they fight. they’re not on any of that friendly neighborhood spider-man business

bucky you’re a nerd, aren’t you

man sam haven’t you heard of the thousand yard stare? one of the most obvious PTSD symptoms that exists, observed even before we had PTSD as a diagnosis?? 😭

“no you’re not coming with me” said sam as bucky came with him anyway sdkfjsdjhbg

does torres know...about the...never mind

bucky: “i am juiced on experimental fascist serum, i am 100% sure i can survive this plummet into a forest”

redwing my beloved...

ahaha that little attempted swat :]

yeeeeaaaa white wolf nickname came back. sam’s “bwuh?” response to that made me giggle

sam just being casually cool as usual

SHHH GUYS THEY’RE COMING

[skyrim guard voice] “must’ve been my imagination” they really failed that spot check lol

alright get em lads! obtain hostage! ... that other truck should really be noticing them shouldn’t it

i immediately do not trust this girl but bucky switching off Business Mode to be polite to her is very nice and good

ok are these people ALL juiced on fascist serum? that’s a lot of juice?? WHERE DID THEY GET THE JUICE?? 🧃🧃🧃

NO REDWING!!!! REDWINDFKHNFGJHNFGJSDF AAAAAAAAAAA

redwing better be ok in the next ep.

john’s goofy grin was ok. not as good as steve’s tho. gotta say john has the “i used to play football in high school” look completely down pat. well done

bucky: [cattily hands the shield back]

JEEZ these fellas are made of iron

GO SAM! once again being casually cool

i just heard the shippers scream in delight at their roll in the goldenrods ahaha. honestly? this was probably the first hug bucky has had since steve ditched him. i don’t blame him for lingering a bit

lol do they have to just...traipse back through rural germany...

oh good their uber is here!

stop making fun of his PTSD symptom c’mon

sam is having none of this, clearly...

love how the last straw for bucky was hearing that hoskins has a dorky nickname. you’re one to talk, bucky

so, uh, supersoldiers...how's it hangin.

hmrhmhm if it were me, i would accept the homemade food politely, because if someone troubles themselves to MAKE food for me, i feel it would be rude to refuse, even if it were something i didn’t eat? i could give it to a family member or something instead? idk just seems rude for a guy giving them hospitality. hospitality is a near-universal virtue for a reason!

i feel like this villain group is really vague? i’m also waiting for HYDRA to be behind them all along

how this exchange went in my head bucky: “let’s do a crime...” sam, swatting him with a rolled-up newspaper: “no.”

sam being on the run with steve for two years...what did they actually do? did they hang out a lot? do some painting? fanfiction writers probably filled in that time already but i really wanna know

who is bucky’s mysterious acquaintance?!

sam is good with kids as usual...also that seems like a funny/sad dig at a lot of black heroes in comics having ‘black’ in front of their names. i don’t read a lot of comics but i sincerely hope they’re not still doing that

is this another amending? another name on the list? oh no...

jeez a whole lot happened in that scene :[ and a lot was implied! like, if the government had access to the serum in the 1950s, that creates some terrifying possibilities, especially if they were able to produce a great quantity. i hope isaiah is returned to eventually because his situation looked rough. he seemed pretty afraid of bucky but he stood his ground and didn’t sound afraid at all. his kid/grandkid/great-grandkid (idk he seemed really young) was very protective of him. it’s clear isaiah never told him about his run-in with the winter soldier but...it seems like he wasn’t totally surprised by isaiah’s outburst or super strength...aaa i’m dying to know more. pls marvel, go back and see them sometime

anyway yeah i can totally sympathize with why isaiah doesn’t want at all to tangle with whatever bucky has going on.

GO AWAY, COPS GO AWAY, COPS GO AWAY, COPS GO AWAY, COPS GO AWAY, COPS

[to the tune of “gidget goes to hell”] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bucky goes to jail

john what are you doing?? “ya bucky is mine now” no????

we now know the therapist’s name! dr. raynor! finally!

lol this is actually couples’ therapy? the shippers just popped in a shower of confetti hehe (but tbh couples’ therapy techniques work for any pair of people who have to be in close contact a lot, not just romantic couples!)

the way sam grabbed bucky’s chair and bucky’s like “whoa ok~” the number of fanfics arising from that interaction alone will be enormous mother of mercy

i want to hide under my blanket ashfgdfhg my face is pulled back into some horrible rictus grin aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

oh no. OH NO

IM GONNA CRY

the feelings...jsndfkj.....kbnvnnm...

sammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

😭😭😭😭😭😭 *dissolves into sadness forever*

hopefully this’ll be that trope where the two bickering parties say they will finish their current task and then never talk to the other again, but after all they go through, they decide to stick together :V please. my happiness depends on this

GO AWAY COPS oh it’s just john

GO AWAY JOHN I’M NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU AND I’M VERY EMOTIONALLY WRECKED RIGHT NOW

i cannot help but like battlestar? idk?? he’s cool??? i feel like he and sam and bucky would get along like a house on fire?? if there weren’t all the *makes john walker-shaped gestures*???????? i can’t not think of battlestar galactica though

sam was way nicer about that mess than he needed to be! anyway they’re totally gonna fight aren’t they. maybe in episode 5 or 6. i think sam would win because he can fly. obviously that overrules everything else. like the fact that i still don’t know whether john is JUICED

so uhhh...HYDRA. are they gonna

THEY’RE GONNA GO SEE ZEMO. HE SAID IT. SAM SAID THE THING. SAM SAID THE THING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL

isn't this “lacrimosa”? that feels fitting

aaaaand there’s helmut!!!!! at last!!!!!!!!!! it’s been so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he’s stuck in what appears to be an ultra high security prison

i wonder what creepy/manipulative/douchebag stuff he’ll say! “ah, sam wilson. what is it they call you? the man-bird? and james barnes! what is it they call you? the war criminal?”

just realized i totally glazed over during the flag smasher escape scene i’m sorry guys you’re just really vague. got any pamphlets? literature? any theory i could read? i’m actually too stupid to read theory please don’t send me theory

and now to wait eternally for another week ugh. just drop an entire season so i can binge it!! netflix does this WHY CAN’T YOU

[sableu]

mamastrawhat replied to your post: F UCKING  someone on ebay was auctioning a bunch...

I ALMOST GOT A ROBIN SNAP FIGURE BUT SOME FUCKER TOOK IT AWAY

I’M STILL SO MAD

ahaha omg well i now know your pain ;;____;; tho tbh i can’t talk since i totally just did the same thing to someone else rip

man though i really didn’t know how Angry losing an auction makes you feel until now.  is this what those super rich ppl in movies who hold up cards to bid on fancy paintings feel like when they don’t get their favorite fancy painting.  bc i feel like that’s what just happened to me except replace “fancy painting” with “$5 collectible one piece figure”  

[ticklygiggles]

40 + victuuri (yuuri is practicing constantly and victor has to do something to get him to relax and spend time with him? 🙏🏻🙏🏻)

A/N: Ah, finally. This is the last Christmas drabble *cries* I am so happy. I hope you like this, Anon. I’m sorry it took me forever. I really hope you enjoy this. Also, I am closing prompts because I still have a few things to write. So yeap, tho you can send headcanons and stuff ♥ Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this. Thank you!

40. “Not now. I’m busy” - Victuuri.

Words: 1,571 (under the cut)

Victor sighed, shaking his head in disapproval; he was kind of expecting that Yuuri wasn’t there, but, in fact, he was right there, jumping and twirling in the rink. His black and thick hair pressed against his sweaty forehead and neck (since it was longer), his cheeks glowing a bit red because of the cold and the fatigue.

Victor leaned against the walls protecting the ice, his chin resting on the palm of his hand and his eyes following each of Yuuri’s movements, relishing on each of his curves and elegance… and how he keeps screwing his rutine because of exhaustion.

After five minutes he had enough and cupped his hands around his mouth.

“Yuuri!”, Yuuri stopped, turning his head to look at Victor, his shoulders moving up and down and his belly inflating and deflating with each heavy breath. “Yuuri, that’s enough. Let’s go back home”, Victor gave him one of those smiles he only gives to him. “Let’s get some Katsudon, Yuuri. It’s cold, yeah?”

Yuuri saw how red the tip of Victor’s nose was , just like the tips and the lobes of his ears. A black scarf around his neck and his hands covered in matching gloves. He looked rediculously warm and Yuuri’s skin tingled, wanting to be pressed against Victor’s body, but instead…

“Not now, Victor. I’m busy”, and he started to skate again, he didn’t have time to see the look on Victor’s face darkening. He hummed, crossing his arms over his chest, a hand lifting until his index finger was right on top of his lips.

“Ah, I see”, he says in a rather loud voice to Yuuri for him listen. “At least you could take a little time since you weren’t there most of the day for my birthday, were you?”

Yuuri failed one of his jumps when he heard that, his cheeks burning of embarrassment when he remembered Victor’s birthday. He knew Victor was mad at him for that, even if he said he was not, because, after all, it was their first Christmas and the first Victor’s birthday they’d spend toegether. He swallowed the feeling of guiltiness crawling up his throat and stopped his rutine again to look at his boyfriend.

“I am really sorry about that, Victor and I’ll probably be sorry all my life,“ he says, looking down at his feet, “but i want to be better. So so so much better… so I can’t go with you right now”, with an elegant jump he came back to practice.

Victor let his arms fall as he sighed once again, puckering his lips into a tiny pout. “But I want you now, Yuuri!”, he stomped his feet like a child. "You’ve been here forever and we’re having vacation!”, Yuuri ignored him.

Even more than that, it was like Yuuri was incapable to hear him. He pouted, Victor Nikiforov can’t be ignored, especially not by his lover. Just no.

“Fine”, he says, his eyebrow twitching and his fingers combing back his bangs. “Fine, Yuuri”, he stepped inside of the rink without skates. “You want me to be rude? I’ll be rude”.

His firm legs and steps keeping him from falling as he walked on the ice. Yuuri was too surprised and amazed to actually skate away, and his only reaction was a shrieked ripping out of his throat as Victor picked him up, throwing him over his shoulder.

“V-Victor!”, he gasped, Victor walking back out of the rink, but as he was five steps away from the exit, his feet betrayed him when he almost did a split.

The loudest shriek echoed throught the whole place, the arm around Yuuri’s waist thightening around him to keep him safe, even if Victor felt his heart jumping out of his chest, thick sweat drops falling down the sides of his forehead.

“Y-Yuuri, are you al-”, he was unable to finish his sentece because he felt Yuuri trembling and he almost got a heart attack, but then he jumped in surprise when he heard loud laughter “Yuuri?”

Yuuri shook his head, “Oh my God, did you hehehar yourse- ahahaha”, he couldn’t speak and Victor blushed.

He was embarrased, now recalling the shriek it sounded pretty girly and he wanted the earth to eat him up… but, he also was blushing because this was the first time he hears Yuuri’s real laughter. The first time. And it was too beautiful.

He tried again, walking all stiff with a laughing Yuuri on his shoulder, he felt the heat crawling up to his ears and down his neck. When he sat Yuri in a bench he nearly lost his breath: Yuuri was red, crying of laughter and his smile was so bright and fuck he was beautiful.

“I’m sorry, I can’t”, Victor literally melted, sitting on his knees infront of Yuuri and pressing his forehead on his knee; his boyfriend giggling and laying down on the bench as Victor started to take off the skates from Yuuri’s feet. He heard a whimper around the giggling and when he peeled the socks off from, he knew the reason.

“Look what you did to your feet”

“I am sorry”, he giggled, taking air and holding his tummy with one hand. Victor shook his head and checked Yuri’s wounds, brushing them with his fingertips, making Yuuri whimper a bit more. “Victor, it hu-ahaha!”, Victor narrowed his eyes when Yuuri giggled again.

“Stop laughing at me, Yuuri!”, he whined.

“N-noho! I am not! Th-that tickles”, Victor arched an eyebrow.

“Tickles? Here?”, Victor brushed the arch of Yuuri’s foot, making him giggle again and pull at his feet.

“Yehehes, don’t do thahat”, seriously, Yuuri is going to be the death of him. His cuteness was too much to handle and before he even noticed, he was wiggling his fingers all over the sole of Yuuri’s foot, carefully avoiding to touch the red wounds.

Yuuri shrieked and kicked his leg, but Victor kept his foot in place with a strong grip. He laughed and curled his toes, only to whimper again because of the pain.

“Ah-ah, Yuuri”, Victor teased, his fingers traveling up from his heel to the skin underneath Yuuri’s toes, making him laugh loudly and arch his back. “You can’t do that, you’re gonna hurt your feet”, he giggled when he felt Yuuri’s free heel digging on his ribs.

“Vihihictor! W-why?!”, Victor gasped, getting up on his feet and leaning his hands against Yuuri’s upper thighs, squeezing the soft flesh and making Yuuri giggle hysterically. He reached down, trying to push Victor’s hands away. “N-nohoho!”

“Why, you ask, Yuuri?”, he quickly latched his hands up on Yuuri’s hips, making him squeak and laugh louder. “After all what you did you ask why?”, Yuuri squeaked again, trying to curl on himself, his hips bucking and withdrawing. “How dare you?”

“I am sorry!”, Yuuri felt his glasses falling down, but his hands stayed around Victor’s wrists, especially when he moved to his tummy, clawing his skin and driving him up the wall. “Nohohot tickling, plehehease!”

Victor smiled down at him, hovering over Yuuri as he tickled every part of his torso, noticing how the laughter became a bit high pitched when he was too close to his upper ribs and armpits.

He recorded every sound and every laugh leaving Yuuri’s body and he painted his blushy face on his mind and it was bright and beautiful just lik Yuuri. He really wanted to take a picture, so with one hand he reached his pocket and took at his phone, his other hand busy torturing Yuuri’s waist.

“No pihihic- no!”, Yuuri screamed a little when Victor’s hand finally creeped into the warmth of his underarm, his wiggling fingers and digging as he took picture after picture with his phone. “Vihihicchan! Please!”

“Yuuri, we’re not praticing until February, did you hear me?”, Yuuri nodded, unable to talk as he laughed with all his might.

“Say you’re gonna rest”, Yuuri snorted when the other hand joined the fun under his other arm.

“Rehehest!”

Victor giggled. “Say you’re sorry”

“Sohohorry!”, Yuuri threw his head back, his arms pressed hard against his sides.

“Say we’ll have Katsudon”

“Kahahatsudon! Plehehease stop!”, Victor stopped when Yuuri snorted again, and took a sit on his hips, smiling as Yuuri filled his lungs with air and giggles kept falling from his lips.

“Are you okay there, Yuuri?”, Yuuri nodded, but giggled nervously when Victor cupped his cheeks, he didn’t tickle him again, instead, he leaned his forehead over Yuuri’s, pressing them together, the tips of their noses touching aswell. “Yuuri, you’re so beautiful”, he pecked Yuuri’s lips and rubbed his blushed cheeks with his thumbs. “Remember that if you practice like that again I’ll tickle you until you can breath, okay?”

Yuuri giggled and nodded. “Okay”

“Good”, he got up and helped Yuuri into a sitting position. “Let me help you get ready”, he reached again for Yuuri’s feet, but he giggled and put them away.

“Nohoho! I’ll take care of those”, Victor chuckled.

“Okay, I’ll bring your bag, then”, he started to walk away, but turned around when Yuuri called him.

“I love you, Vitya”. He smiled and quickly turned back before Yuuri could see the blush spreading all over his cheeks.

“I love you too, Yuuri”.

[taesthetes]

(1/?) Travel-anon-hi! I'm all better now, thank you :D! It's okay to be sporadic on instagram - it's your own page, haha! Time to find a small spray bottle then~ Oo, have fun with your internship when you do do it then! Those are always really nice to experience! Yeah, Hong Kong is def one of the more expensive Asian countries, haha, but it iiiis really nice there! Japan's summer was like 38-45 celsius when I went, haha. I'm pretty sure you're gonna be a baked potato - good luck! There's ice-

(2/?) cream taiyaki in Japan, I think? If not, there’s a looot of cute ice cream places there, and lots of specialty Japanese flavours like tofu and ramune for after your taiyaki ;D! First thing I’ll do when I’m back in Japan is go to a convenience store and buy a haagen dazs sandwich haha. Japanese/Asian convenience stores are like the antithesis of grungy X’D they’re almost sparkling in comparison to the ones here in North America. Are there any convenience store snacks you might want to try?

(3/?) Oh! You could always visit your sister’s cat (and your sister) when you’re next free, maybe? And bring your own pet along when you get one :D? What would you name your future pet? That’s true! There does tend to be more modern exhibits around, but I’ve never actively looked up the more traditional older-style exhibits though. There’s a couple here in my city, I think, but the modern ones really do outweigh in quantity to those. Omg, ikr! I don’t get those either!! I literally tilt my head-

(4/?) sideways to look at those, read their descriptions, and STILL don’t get those! The interactive ones are a lot cooler in comparison because you actually get to interact with it, and watch what happens because of you. People in Japan normally took pity on us when we played in Akihabara in Tokyo! Major crane game power there, and a lot of tourists, so I think the people there just kind of expect varying gameplay levels there haha. Nono, I still have ramen at home! I’m just watching my weight-

(5/?) because I’ll be getting costume measurements done soon, and I’d rather not have super high numbers if I can help it, hahaha. It’s actually really hard to hit up everything in Japan! I’ve been a lot of times, but I still see something new every time I’m there! I mean, that’s what makes traveling so awesome to begin with, and life in general though? Oo~ where would you road trip this time? I hope you managed to get all your work done in time, and have fun on the trip & for those bdays!

(6/?) THAT LIP RING. Nothing else really needs to be said to explain your album-decision further XD It’s too bad that both don’t end up in the same album concept, but lip ring ftw. Jimin’s coming for all of us, haha. OMG YEONTAN IS SO CUTE AND TINY AND FLUFFY AND I JUST WANT TO CUDDLE HIM. THOSE EYEBROWS. I haven’t seen Tae’s cat actually? Do you have any photos? I did see the Chain mv! It wasn’t really my music taste, but it was still good! I’m pretty sure my NCT bias is Taeyong, haha. I tend-

(7/?) to like members that are super strong at performance/(super loud)stage presence/dancer? Not sure how to explain it well? Taeyong, specifically, I like his voice a lot. I completely feel you on the bp & f(x) front there. Seriously. I’VE HAD LATATA STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR DAYS, SAVE ME. Yes to listening to comeback groups! I only ever learn all their names when I’m interested enough in the group~ I’ve been in the kpop game since dbsk first started hahaha OuO;; CONGRATS ON THE TSWIFT CONCERT &-

(8/8) HAVING SUCH A BLAST THERE!!! I’M HAPPY YOU WERE HAPPY! Is two hours super early for a Tswift concert? Next time you go, bring a portable charger TuT!!! Or maybe a camera? Do they allow cameras at concerts?? I really hope you get to go again when she does another tour! I’m busy with convention prep right now! I have one next week, so I’m completely swamped, haha. Good luck with your projects and papers, and have a good weekend!!

hello, m’love!! i’m so glad to hear you’re better now! 💓 asdadfkl but i want to have a more cohesive feed, but knowing me, i’m lazy so it’ll only work for a little while. and thank you!! hong kong sounds really nice, and i heard their mcdonalds is super fancy ahaha i want to try their mcdonalds :’) oh my god, that’s boiling hot??!?!?!? that’s 100 - 113 degrees fahrenheit over here, you can literally cook an egg on the sidewalk, what the heck?? aauagh i can’t wear my leggings and sweaters then ):

omg ice cream taiyaki– they just combined to yummy foods to make a mega yummy food :O is tofu and ramune flavored ice cream good? have you had it before? omg i’ll make sure to get a haagen dazs sandwich, too! they are!! omg i wish american convenience stores were nicer. tbh i think i just want to try them all?? i won’t be able to read the packaging probably, but i’ll just take one of each haha

ahhh, maybe! maybe i’ll visit her this summer? or maybe i’ll be too busy catching up on all the sleep i lost during the school year :’) aaskdfjlhas i won’t be able to get a pet until i’m fully settled into my own place and financial stable, which won’t be for at least another two years. yeah, unfortunately for me, there doesn’t seem to be many traditional style art nearby. that’s why i spend hours upon hours in the art museums in europe when i do get the chance to go there. and same!! i read the description and study every angle of the art piece, but i still don’t understand it?? 

yes! interactive art is super fun, and it’s so cool that you can be a part of art with those. oooh, okay, i see!! hopefully, the people will be just as nice when i try playing the crane machines– or maybe i should just buy the plushies since it might be cheaper than me feeding all my money to those games :’) alskdjfhas but it’s ramen!!! there is no such thing as a high number in weight. every number is great and amazing. but omg costume measurements? what’s your costume for?

yes, i agree!! the fun of traveling comes from seeing new things all the time! heck, i haven’t even seen everything where i live. i think we might road trip to the beach or an amusement park! we’re not sure yet, or we might just drive randomly and see where it takes us :D the trusty gps will always take us back. and thank you!! omg for my friend’s bday, we went to a nice crepe place for brunch and then we did one of those color me mine type places and i painted a cute mug for my father’s day present, and it was so much fun– i miss art so much

OH GOSH, I MIGHT ACTUALLY ORDER THE O VERSION ALBUM JUST BECAUSE OF THAT LIP RING NOW askjdfahls but also i want to save money for the trip, so i’m still on the fence aND YES, YEONTAN IS SO ADORABLE OH MY GOSH LIKE GOOD BYE TAE, I ONLY STAN YEONTAN. ahhh i think i reblogged a post of him and his cat a reaaally long time ago, but if you google taehyung kkanji then i think you’ll be able to find the pics!! my blog is a mess so i don’t know where that post went sadly ):

omg i think i just loved chain so much because winwin finally got a line!!! and yuta finally got a lot of lines too!!! (and thank god because it’s a japanese song and i would’ve sued if yuta got nothing) oooh, taeyeong is honestly the ideal type, like his personality is so darn kind and sweet and perfect and if you talk to any nct stan, i’m 99% sure taeyong is always their bias or their bias wrecker. even if you don’t bias him, you bias him. but also yes, his stage presence is amazing!!! like wow, even the camera people are drawn to him even when he isn’t the center.  his english raps are also really funny to read tho asdkjfhals

did you see the bp lightstick?? it’s like one of those toy hammers from weekly idol. LATATA IS SO DARN CATCHY, I FIND MYSELF LISTENING TO IT EVERYDAY TOO. and same! although the exception to that rule for me would be day6 because i don’t know all the members, but i listen to all their songs. and oh my gosh, that’s so long :O since dbsk first started?? i just looked it up and that was 2003 oh my gosh, i was only 4 or 5 then wow.

AND THANK YOU!!! 💘💘 and yes, i’ll definitely have to bring a portable charger next time but aksdjlhflas i don’t have a camera with me unfortunately– my family only has one camera, and it’s left at home, so i only have my phone at my dorm. and yes, i’m sure they allow cameras at concerts! otherwise, a lot of kpop fansites would probably have to smuggle their cameras in haha and thank you, i hope so too :’) omg i hope you have lots of fun at the convention!!! 💕 did it happen already? how did it go? and thank you! i hope your weekend was good, too! how have you been? 🌻💗
