Summary: Everything is going well with you and Mason until your ex starts messaging you and pressuring you to send him money. Mason is the one who cleared all the mess that your ex left behind. How is Mason going to accept you helping your ex again?

Pairings: Mason Mount x Reader

Word Count: 2.6k

Warnings: Swearing, angst, Fluff and toxic ex

It’s a freezing autumn night, I am sat curled up in my Disney pjs, hair up in a bun, blanket and Netflix on. Mason has a Tuesday night kick off tonight so I know he won’t be home until late. I quickly snap a photo of me curled up and send it to Mason with the caption “wish you were here ;)” then quickly forwarded it up with “good luck my number 7 go out and smash it”. I know he probably cannot reply but I least I text him some encouragement. I then put my phone down and started to cook dinner.

Thats when my Facebook notification binged up, no one ever messages me on FB. My profile is private so it’s not like any fans can message me and all the people I talk to have my number so I am confused. That’s when I see the name show up ‘James’. Fuck! I thought, what the hell does this prick want. James was my ex that I was with just before me and Mason got together, he left me in loads of debt and hating my life. Then I saw the message he just put “Hi x” I messaged straight back “Hi” with no kiss I did not want to engage with this conversation. I can see the message was opened and he was typing, he was typing for quite a while that’s when it finally binged again. It said:

“Look I know you hate me, I am sorry for what I did to you. I was hurt you ended it. I know it was my fault for all the lies and the drugs I was a mess but I am different now. I am trying to turn my life around Y/N/N. I just owe these dealers money and I need to pay them, I cleared most of it I just need another £200. Once that’s paid that’s everyone cleared and I can focus on my new life. I am scared they threatening to come to my mums and my sisters house, please you know how much they meant to you. Please, I start a new job tomorrow and I get paid weekly so I will pay you back at the end of next week, I promise this time no bullshit”.

I didn’t want to believe him, I have heard all these lies before but I know the trouble he can get in and the people he gets involved with are serious. How could I live with myself if his family got hurt when I could help? I really didn’t want to but its just £200 in the scheme of things what is that? I replied “Yeah sure it’s a one off I will not send you anymore and I want it back on Friday.” He replied thanking me and send me the bank details on where to send it and confirmed he would send it straight back. I really wanted to believe him this time.

The next couple of days were busy with work and Mason has been busy with training, you know how hard he is working to ensure he doesn’t get injured again which I am praying his non-injury spell lasts. I was working away at home when I heard my phone buzz again, it was a FB notification. I saw it was James again. “Hey Y/N, I really wouldn’t ask unless I was desperate. Is there any chance I could borrow £100 please? I literally have no food in the house, I haven’t eaten in days please I promise I will pay it back?”. Again I thought what happens if he hadn’t eaten? How can I live with myself knowing that he was starving and I could help and I didn’t. So once again I sent it.

I wanted to speak to Mason about it, I hated hiding this from him but I knew he would never understand. He hated James with a passion. I met Mason whilst I was still with James. I made it clear to Mason I wasn’t a cheat and he never pressured me and ensure our conversations were PG. That was until I confided in Mason that I was tired of James’s bullshit and I didn’t want to be with him anymore. That’s when Mason stepped in and supported me to leave James. The problem is that James agreed to support me with the rent (as we still had 7 months left on the tenancy) and all the credit cards and loans I took out for him. Of course he didn’t though and I was struggling to pay it all myself. I didn’t want to tell Mason but he forced it out of me when he realised how stressed I was. A couple of days later I had a call from my landlord to say the flat I was living in was sold, I knew then it was Mason. When I confronted him about it, he explained he put the property in my name so its mine, I can do whatever I want with it. I was fuming but I know it did it out of kindness. Then a couple of weeks later I received a large deposit into my account, Mason gave me the money to clear the loans and credit cards. You have never been shown kindness like that in your life, you didn’t even want to use the money you just left in your account for weeks not knowing what to do. Mason kept insisting you used it and said he would be offended if you didn’t. He promised he would never tell a soul he did that and would never used it against you, you trusted him. You tried to pay Mason back each month, but he refused to take it, he explained you could repay him by going out on a date with him.. that’s how you both started dating. So that’s why you couldn’t tell Mason the truth, after he did all that and to find out you were still helping  James out, he would flip out.

The Friday came when James was suppose to pay you, shocker he doesn’t and when you message him asking if he going to send it back he reads the messages and ignores it. Great I thought I should of known better.

The following Sunday we went to Mason’s family for Sunday dinner, it was a long drive so we went down their Saturday night and ended up staying down. I love his family and his parents treat me like their own. I couldn’t ask for better inlaws. The food was amazing! I am so full. It has been such a good day with laughter and smiles. I am all curled up on their sofa trying to stretch my belly out as its now cramping from the amount of food I just digested. That’s when I hear the dreaded sound of my FB messenger notification again. I was just going to ignore it as I knew exactly who it was and I didn’t want him ruining my mood right now. I quickly looked at it though, I just wanted him to go away. Again he was asking for money, SHOCK! I thought. I messaged straight back putting my foot down, I don’t care about the reasoning I knows its all bullshit anyway, I replied “No James, no fucking more! You lied and never paid me back its all bullshit now leave me alone before I block you!”. That’s when another 5 notifications came through. Mason looked over at me “Jheez somebody is popular” He laughed. I laughed back trying to put Mason at ease “it must be Lauren you know what she is like can never just text a paragraph she gotta send me a couple of words per text”. Mason nodded and agreed he knew what she was like. I picked it up and saw the disgusting texts that were sent back, calling me a slag, how I am only with Mason for his money, saying how I could just get Mason to sort it out but I cannot ‘be bothered’, how I never did anything for him, how I was too big and ugly to be a WAG. Mason looked up at me in concern as he saw my mood change, he didn’t press as he knew I wouldn’t say anything in front of his parents but made a mental note to speak to me about it later. My phone buzzed another 5 times, this time Mason shot me a look as to say what the hell is going on, who the hell is that? I made a quick a joke to say “Must just be my other boyfriend” which Mason’s parents laughed at but Mason didn’t seem too impressed. He knew you were hiding something from him. It continued with the horrible words, in the end you just wanted it to stop, you wanted him to just leave you alone. You don’t know why you did it you just needed it to stop so you could enjoy the rest of your day. You quickly sent him another £100 and put your phone on silent.

The ride home was quiet, I could tell Mason wanted to ask you about the text messages but didn’t want to cause an argument tonight after such a nice day.

Mason was laying on your bed playing Fifa but couldn’t concentrate, you were lying next to him asleep you were such a heavy sleeper you would not be waking up anytime soon. Mason looks over at your phone next to you on the bedside table, he doesn’t want to do it but he needs to know what made you so upset and made your mood change like that. If someone hurt you they going to know about it he was thinking. Before he knew it he had your phone in his hands and unlocked it. He knew it was a FB messenger notification so quickly opened the app. That’s when he saw it, it was from James. Surely not, y/n couldn’t be cheating on me with her ex could she? His heart starting to break and his hands started to shake. When he opened the messages he saw the disgusting things that were being thrown at you. How dare he speak to you like that. Mason was fuming. The worst part Mason was angry that you gave in and sent him money. So he gets you into debt which I pay off and support you just for you to support him again fuck that Mason thought. He wasn’t sure how to approach this conversation now without telling you he went through your phone. He quickly put it back on the side and just laid staring at the ceiling. How dare he take advantage of your kindness. That’s the thing mason loves about you, you have such a big heart but struggle to see when people are using you. Mason just wants to protect you but he now not sure how. 

The next day Mason has a day off and we have had a both needed relaxing day. I am lying on masons lap across our sofa whilst he is sat up playing fifa. That’s when I hear the dreaded FB notifications again. I quickly sat up and moved up the sofa so Mason couldn’t see over my shoulder. Shocker it was James again. This time asking for £2k, when I said I don’t have that kind of money he told me to get a loan. When I refused again he demanded I get the money of Mason. When I refused again, it started to get nasty.

Mason looked up from his controller at me, “I know”. I looked at Mason in confusion there is no way he can know. “You know what?” I ask. Mason replies “I went through your phone last night, I had to see what happened yesterday at my parents” trying to justify himself. 

“Are you fucking serious Mase, you went through my phone as l slept? Is that the kind of relationship we have now?” I can feel my anger boiling and now my rage being turned from James to Mason. 

“I am sorry but how are you letting him speak to you like that? He fucking broke you y/n and I was there to pick up the pieces. I am the one who cleared the debts and for what? Just for you to get yourself back into my debt helping him”

“I am not getting myself into more debt, I am only sending him the money I have!” Getting kind of pissed off with his tone. 

“Yeah only because you are living off me and relied on me to pay your debts!” I am outraged how fucking dare he!

“You promised me Mason you would never use that against me are you taking the piss right now?!?!”

Mason then stops his anger in his face is now starting to soften. “Time out” he goes. Using his hands to make a T. “This is exactly what he wants, why are we arguing when it’s him who is taking advantage of you? He is the one I am pissed off with not you, I know you can never turn away someone in need”. 

“I just don’t know how to sort it Mase?”, I can feel the tears starting to prick in my eyes due to the stress of it all. “If I stop sending him money he gets so angry and what happens if I do not send it and then something happens that’s on me! How could I live with myself?”. Mason gets up so he is now standing over me, “none of this is your fault, fucking none of it, he is using your kindness for weakness which is completely out of order”. I know he is right, he gets so protective, god mason is so good to me. What did I do to deserve him? 

My phone binged again and then Mason turns to me “Give me your phone” Mason gestures his hand out. I am worried about what he is going to do next. 

I put my phone into his hand and next thing I know he is typing away. A couple more bings went through showing me that James was replying to whatever Mason said. Mason is now pacing around the living room and I am surprised my phone screen hasn’t cracked by how hard he is slapping his thumps against it. They continue back and fourth like this for around 20 mins. 

Mason then passes me my phone back, I went straight onto the messages to see what was said. “I have deleted the chat”, I am a bit disappointed I wanted to see what Mason said coming to my defence. “What did you say?” I ask. Mason smiles at me showing me that he won the fight “that doesn’t matter princess all you need to know is that he should leave you alone now.” I feel a massive weight off my shoulders now I don’t know what didn’t tell Mason before. “Just promise me something if he tries to message you again please let me know. The things I said to him, if he still had the guts to try fair play to him”, which at this Mason gives his cocky smile. “Of course Mase I promise”.

Mason flops back onto the sofa and lifts his arm up to gesture for me to lie on his lap which I did. Mason sat there running his fingers through my hair. “I will never let anyone hurt you y/n. I am sorry for what I said, I didn’t mean to throw the money in your face. I would do it all over again if I need to if it ensured your safety and protection”. I give a little smile at that and crock my head up so I am now looking up at him. 

“I love you so much Mason”, he loves me dead in the eyes and gives a soft kiss to my lips. “Believe me it will never be as much as I love you y/n”.

serious-er topic than normal dudes, dudettes, and everybody else (there needs to be a gender neutral dude. dudenby?

•subtitles, closed captions, and open captions aren't the same thing.

subtitles exist for the purpose of conveying the dialogue of a movie/show/video. you can change the language (usually) and turn them on and off at will. these are typically boxes at the bottom of the screen with words. they can be used for translation, to better understand speech, etc. subtitles aren't always reliable at conveying the dialogue accurately, and can be delayed or too fast in accordance to the video. you can use subtitles to know what is being said.

closed captions identify the speaker, dialogue, and any noise. they follow along all the audio and if it's something spoken, who says it (usually). these are also typically boxes at the bottoms of the screen with words. these can be used to understand all the audio, translate, etc. closed captions aren't always reliable in conveying the audio correctly, and can be delayed or too fast in accordance to the video. you can use closed captions to know everything that is going on involving sound.

open captions are like closed captions. they were established for the same purpose. you cannot turn open captions on and off. they are a part of the video, the creator purposefully put them there, most likely for accessibility purposes. these, most of the time, convey all audio and are pretty accurate, and are synchronized with the video. these often are just words on the screen, usually in a contrasting color than the background.

all can be used for accessibility reasons or not, but open captions are the better of the three.

i am not hard of hearing or d/Deaf. i do struggle understanding sound clearly due to ADHD. i always have on closed captions because i can't understand speech clearly often, and struggle with focusing on one sound when there are many going on (for example, if i'm in a loud room, i can't just turn the volume up. that does nothing for me but make the confusion louder.)

people with any sort of hearing impairment (hearing loss, APD, neurodivergent related hearing issues, etc) prefer and/or need written audio like these things provide. open captions are the most optimal, and should be in more movies, shows, videos, etc. i understand not all people need or want them, but countless people do. if you make videos or things like that of any kind, please consider adding open captions for the sake of people with hearing impairments.

even if you don't, and you read all this, thanks :) this took a long time to type and it's just good info to know.

Concept that just popped into my head: Milgram characters doing "get ready with me" videos

Aw, this was so fun!! I always love your hc style of normal au/everyone's chilling, and tried to go the same route -- it was so cute to think about :D

Haruka: Puts on his outfit for the day and explains everything in great detail. He has lots of comfortable items and fun colors. At the very end he speaks off-camera and you realize Muu was standing there cheering him on the whole time. He gets a lot of encouraging comments, and Muu and Fuuta keep an eye on the account to delete any nasty ones that may come in.

Yuno: Shows her outfit, makeup, nails, and bag she’s taking with her. She tries out a variety of styles (not just sticking to the more feminine looks we see in canon). She gives a bit of a tutorial and tips as well as showing things off. Has a main account for her daytime outfits, and a more private one for her nighttime looks. Mahiru is the only one aware of the latter account.

Fuuta: Layers. Lots of layers. There will be three sweatshirts laid out in front of him and you wonder which he’s going to choose before realizing he’s putting them all on. He focuses most on his sneakers and sportswear. He plays loud music over the videos, not knowing what to say. Has gotten into comment-section arguments over those yellow socks.

Muu: Also does a full look at her appearance: nails, accessories, etc. She mentions where you can buy everything, and it’s unclear whether she was sponsored by these brands or is just excited to talk about them. (Whether they’re actually together or not,) she’ll have Haruka on as a guest a lot to show off couple’s outfit ideas. She definitely has the biggest following, and loves recommending Haruka and the others’ accounts.  

Shidou: He doesn’t really know what he’s doing, but his account is getting tons of views so the others keep encouraging him to make videos. He’s just glad to be connecting with the other prisoners as they show him how to do it. He dresses in a mix of the sleek patterned shirts and dad fits, and both types of videos are equally popular. 

Mahiru: None of the serious-faced flirts or little pouty faces – it’s all smiles for her. Every video is basically a full tutorial – she has captions and a voiceover giving commentary on everything. She has the next biggest following, and interacts constantly. She loves getting questions “what should I wear on an x type date?” “How do I dress to impress x type of person?” because she always comes up with the perfect outfit to help. 

Kazui: A bit confused as well, though he does know a lot about style. His interro question makes it seem like he wanted kids – I think he’d really get into the account as one of those “Dad How Do I” types. He talks about matching things, clothes upkeep, shaving/hairstyling. 

Amane: Also wouldn’t have made the videos without prompting from the others, but enjoys it a lot. She usually talks about practical things instead of “vain” fashion: she’s excited to show off a new raincoat, sturdy shoes, useful pockets, etc. Over time, she leans into outfits that are more cute and colorful, gaining confidence in them. 

Mikoto: He started the account as something for one of his design classes, and got really into it. He likes to challenge himself with unique styles and clothing articles, making pretty much anything work. He keeps everything professional in case an employer/coworker sees, but isn’t afraid to add some flirting and flaunting in there. If he’s open about his plurality, he’ll have some special videos, “choosing an outfit for John today!”

Kotoko: Like Amane, she’s more excited about practical outfits. She’ll show off clothes that have good flexibility, places to store and conceal objects, and heavy duty materials. She’ll rate jackets, boots, and other “military-grade” things for what has worked best for her. She’s very attentive to the accounts that follow her – she does full background checks to make sure her info is being used for justice, not more crime. Mahiru convinces her to do a special where she puts all her piercings in and talks about why she chose them/what they mean.

Es: Experiments with a lot of new styles, trying to figure out what they like. They also just play music in the back, not having much to say about each outfit. They'd rather focus on their series of dressing-up-Jackalope videos, much to his dismay...

[NSB HEADCANONS] - carving pumpkins with ryan

✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧

pov: it's almost halloween and ryan bought two pumpkins for you and him to carve together and do the best looking pumpkins ever :)

warnings: some swears here and there

type: fluff

member: ryan nguyen (azngami)

REBLOGS AND LIKES ARE VERY APPRECIATED!

taglist! (Open! Send an ask if you'd like to be in it!) : @nsb-rkive @kentisbaby @firebenderwolf @hyuneee0 @yawnzzznnn @ghostyycat7

Bold can't be tagged.

so.. ryan was bored on a sunday afternoon

he was scrolling through his phone to cure his boredoom and saw an instagram post saying "buy pumpkins for halloween" (sorry i didn't had much inspiration for the add caption 💀😭)

ryan smiled and decided to go to the closest supermarket and brought two medium pumpkins for you and him

(More under the cut!)

he's just really creative

while you were doing your own things, ryan came into your room and smiled proudly of his projects that he wanted to do with you

"want to carve pumpkins with me?"

ofc, you said yes <3

and it immediately made him super happy

nguyen would have decorated the apartment with halloween decorations (i know ryan do not own an appartment since he's moving houses to houses with the boys, but let's say he have one with you lol) and spooky stuff around the differents room

i know ryan is a SIMP for christmas, but i also know he kinda like halloween (but not like he do for xmas haha)

ANYWAYS-

he would have put tablecloths or paper journals that you guys don't really use or read on your table to avoid a mess

this man brought even the little knife to do it perfectly

like.. this boy wanted to do this activity with you so bad

"i bet my pumpkins can be cuter than yours"

"lol, you wish"

"ooh y/n have some talk back? mmh i love it"

he smiled while saying that

"if you really think your chances to do an aesthetic and beautiful pumpkins are much higher than mine, then let's do a contest on our ig stories so the stars can vote. the loser have to do the dishes for the rest of the week and have to buy the other, snacks and drinks they want"

ryan love so much the stars

so you would agree to that challenge

and ofc, it would make him super happy

"alright, bet. we have 30 minutes to take all the inside out and we'll have 45 minutes to carve it. i'll put the timer"

"that's a serious challenge.."

"well yeah! if i have to carve pumpkins against my girlfriend, i better take it seriously. i would love to see you doing all the dishes and making me food" he said while laughing

he would definitively (try to) put pumpkin flesh on your face and on your nose

"sorry, it was too tempting"

he would laugh so much and take a lot of pictures

he love taking pictures with you

he love being loved by you <3

he would try his best to make you loose

"oh shit, yours is looking pretty sick.. mind if i add my little spice to it?"

"mind your little spice for later, i don't want to lose!"

"it'll make you win! you know how creative i am, right?"

"right.."

he would def carve something he found on pinterest or in google

' easy and funky carving pumpkins ideas '

" damn, these aren't easy! fuck that shit "

" i thought you were creative.."

"hey you, you know what, shut up, y/n!! mind your pumpkin!" he would say obvs laughing to make you know he's kidding

after that curving, he would be super proud of his pumpkin, but then... he would look at yours and be a bit jealous (just a little bit)

"woah.. y/n, you're really talented! it look fucking good and sick!! i love it!"

he tried his best

like literally

he wanted to win so so bad, but he know how great as an artist you are.. like, you could do whatever you want and it would still look sick and awesome

though, he would still be proud of his, he knew he wouldn't be able to win with your masterpiece

he would post a picture of both of your pumpkin and would add an instagram sticker with the choices (a poll lol) and would pray to win

he love seeing you winning because he can see you smile and can see how excited you are, but he still love winning times to times

after 30 minutes, he would check the results and see how he lost-

listen, he always thought you were a born artist, but he didn't know that his pumpkin was THAT bad looking?

ryan's pumpkin would probably look sick and super good, but you know.. the stars have choosen >:)

he was a bit sad, but at the same time, not really, because your smile when he told you, you won, was so worth it like?? his heart was filled with joy and happiness and excitment? ARGH THIS BOY LOVE YOUR SMILE SO MUCH

"i told you baby that i'll win"

he smirked

"yeah, yeah.. i guess, you're the real artist between us"

"don't say that, ry'! maybe you weren't born an artist but you're still good at dancing, at singing, at videos games.. ok, maybe not at smash, but still.."

"thank you baby.. HEY DID YOU SAY I WAS BAD AT SMASH?!"

"maybe, i did"

"alright, bet, you'll regret that, i'll beat your ass like i do every time when we play. you're going to be beat very easily"

then it turned into a videos games contest and let's say that even if you were trying your hardest, you lost.. sorry, not sorry

One of my nagging fears is that someone will or already has screengrabbed a bad take of mine and used me as an example to define the type of person they don't like. I can get really paranoid over my little posts. It's simultaneously a matter of actual insecurity on my part - I find it difficult to live unabashedly as myself for a variety of reasons that I am slowly but surely working on - but it is also sort of a legitimate fear based on the experience of hanging around terminally online people for a large chunk of my life. How long until I have become the non-entity whose existence symbolizes miserable idiocy. How long until I get to play the NPC or the secret liberal pig or the miserable killjoy. Have I been psychoanalyzed by an angry 19 or 33 year old yet? Maybe if it ever happens and I stumble across the digital plaque with my dog face and tumblr handle, a short wall of text made in the moment without much serious thought, captioned by a diatribe about how miserable and pathetic and tiresome this person (me) must be - I'll be able to suddenly realize, on a much deeper level than I do now, that this is an overrated, petty fear. Maybe I'll remember some childhood persecution or familial expectation and be able to process it better. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and the world suddenly turns to pudding and the river becomes lemonade and the great many rusted metal things that line the riverbed transmogrify into delicious rock candy of so many colors and shapes. Maybe I'll have to put in the work and actively fight this insecurity or maybe I can ignore it and do some hard work (and be set free) and one day it won't bug me anymore. Maybe I should tell a friend or a therapist. Maybe I'll learn the process of making rock candy, and make those many shapes and colors and put them on sticks and bring them to parties. Maybe I'll pick up a guitar again and practice until my fingers don't feel so clumsy and I can strum the Flintstones theme effortlessly. I'll ride in a riverboat, plucking out a tune and while I rest my hands I can dip an empty tankard in the river and pull up a draught of sweet lemonade. The boat could go out to sea, and I'll swing below deck whenever the sun or the rain get to be too much for me. The ship could carry a great many underwater compartments. It could house an entire apartment complex that shrinks and grows on the outside, depending on the circumstances, but is always the same size on the inside. I could cover the floors with carpets from around the world. I could sit and look at the famous Persian flaw of an Iranian rug covered in beautiful designs and woven with red, orange, cream, burgundy, cerulean threads and think of my insecurities. What is perfection in a world without a perfect being? Is this idea of improvement, infinite improvement, an attempt to help others and myself or am I just trying to replicate the proverbial Jesus of a pseudo-secular mindset. Am I actually challenging my own insecurities - my petty, trifling, in-sig-nificant insecurities - by thinking in terms of... "Well... other people don't act or think like this. You don't want to act like the wrong type of person, do you?"

I could sit, cross legged and sipping riverwater lemonade, the tips of my fingers sore from pressing down on strings and plucking at them, and ponder all of this forever. The rock candy formations of the riverbed would glide by. Tufts of seaweed that had been transformed into strips of gummy candy filled with sealed pockets of sweet syrup would brush up against the hull of my boat. Swedish fish would wriggle past, or they would sit tight as the tide pulled them in the direction they wanted to go. The world would keep happening regardless. I wonder if I would just be taking myself with me if I were to walk away from this little imperfection in the rug. If I stood up and began to look for problems to fix, tightening pipes, sealing leaks, arranging furniture, I could lose myself, or maybe my flaw would manifest in the ways I behaved. I would be very far from that boy they strung up a couple thousand years back, indeed. So I continue to sit on my rug. I think that maybe, if I sat here long enough, I'd be able to solve the problem that is myself - unravel every knot in my heart so perfectly - that I could leave that part of myself here on the rug to be thrown overboard later. I would, of course, obtain the great goal of enlightenment and be a being of pure light and energy. I would do anything I wanted to. I would become morally invincible, I would become a "good person." It would finally all be over. So I spend the rest of my life, sitting on the rug, unraveling knot after knot - not realizing that the strings that make me who I am are perfectly tying themselves right back up when I'm not looking. Meanwhile the rock candy and the gummy seaweed and the Swedish fish and the whole of the lemonade river would still be passing me by until all of it was eventually long gone and I was all alone - enlightened but alone - the knots would all tie themselves back up pretty quickly indeed if this were the happen. The solace worth taking is that, at least, the knots will be different. At best they will be variations of their old configurations. Fun.

The only other choice seems to be to get up, live life, play songs and fix leaks and drink lemonade and sail with other boats and dance on other decks and help other sailors and eat new candy sealife and live and live and live while stopping every so often to check on that little insecurity in me to see how she's doing. I can augment how I listen and how I communicate and how I set boundaries and how I respect boundaries and try to be a little kinder and forgive myself and do all of the many little things that are in vogue right now while still living. Not unaware and paranoid or sitting still on the floor staring at the tiniest of threads but actually living life as a maker of mistakes and a sad, sweet, happy, angry, patient animal and an artist and a writer and a friend and a neighbor and a stranger. I just won't do it with eyes closed. Or I won't force myself to keep them open if I the strain becomes to much. Or if sleeps call is too sweet. I am tired now. I am so sleepy.

I was on Instagram and typed in Gwynriel edits and I clicked on one, but it turned out to be an E/riel edit (there were quite a few like that) and the caption said “archived elain this theory was run until redacted stans got their hands on it” and one of the comments said “this theory would be really interesting to see only if gwynriels doesn't exist”.

I have no idea what theory they were talking about but I’m going to assume it was Elain being a spy, because one of the slides of the edit quotes was “I think she’s got you beat for secret keeping” and there were photos of a woman covered in blood, blood dripping down her bare chest, a woman with a fire blazing behind her, and other images of what E/riel’s claim Elain would be but is actually their fanon version of her. The edit was honestly giving Manon/Aelin (maneater) vibes and we know that is out of character for Elain. She doesn’t like violence (which is more than okay). I don’t understand why E/riel’s cry about people being misogynistic of feminine characters and tell Gwynriel’s to stop changing Elain, but they’re the ones who keep saying Elain will wield Gwydion, is going to be a spy (if Azriel was training her we would’ve gotten something of that in his pov and he himself said he’d been avoiding her), and draw her wearing Illyrian leathers and armor. I’ve seen E/riel’s change the plot/arc for Elain multiple times, as well as her personality to fit a certain ship. Her becoming the High Queen/High Lady of Dusk, ruling over the Court of Nightmares, the Prison, etc. Ironically they say Elain won’t leave Night Court since her family is there, but they’re also more than fine with Elain leaving the NC if Azriel is ruling over Dusk or the CoN with her.

It’s fine if you prefer feminine female characters that aren’t warriors, but that doesn’t mean you need to put down those female characters who are warriors (I also love woman who prefer not to wield a weapon just like I love woman who want to wield a weapon). That’s also misogynistic. And most Gwynriel’s have been very supportive of Elain staying feminine and not being a warrior. Also, you can still be feminine if you’re a warrior. Just look at Aelin and Mor. Both are warriors, but love wearing gowns and going shopping.

Hi, anon!

The problem with incorrectly tagging fanarts is widespread on all platforms, unfortunately. I see it all the time on tiktok.

When it comes to the whole *stealing aesthetic* thing... well, it seems quite silly. Elain becoming a spy was just their theory. With Gwyn, we have canon text and real evidence. So if we are to accuse anyone of stealing the spy arc, they need to take it up with Sjm herself.

(Also, I personally don't see any serious grounds for the spy Elain theory if we connect it to the type of spying Azriel does. Elain doesn't want to be in the shadows, lurking and not drawing attention to herself. When she was a human, she loved socializing. The only spying I see her doing is getting information by talking with people and by being an emissary like Lucien.)

About the traditionally female character traits... I don't like the binary limitations we put on characters. I would say rage is very feminine. But if we have to say something is culturally seen as more female (dresses, pink, flowers), Elain is more like that. I'm sure she has some edge inside her because all of us do. People can be multifaceted. But I just don't see her becoming a warrior or someone who observes people from the shadows. Someone who, rather than be close with people, keeps her distance. That's what she kind of does now with the IC. She's on the outskirts, close but kept at an arms length. Close enough to be safe but not enough to create any deeper connections. And I don't think she's happy now. And Sjm gave us enough hints about it.

so i saw this post about how modern nhs would use his phone as a equivalent of a fan. and tricking people into thinking he's not listening when is. and i added my own 5 cents and now i have a drabble! unspecified modern au with nhs as wwx's and jc's problem radar because it's not the gusu trio if they don't get themselves into some problems! unedited + written late, i might expand this au later... maybe

He was a party soul, honestly. He loved going out and spending time with people, listening to music, dancing, and anything but spending time studying. And it was no surprise that Huaisang was now sitting on someone's couch, in someone's house, he didn't really know the owner– But a good party wasn't happening every day! 

"...nah, no, we'll deal with him quickly."

He was alone though, with only his phone to keep him company. But it wasn't a problem really, he hadn't checked his Instagram feed for an hour now, so he had plenty of things to waste time on. Until someone comes up to dance with him. 

"Are you sure?"

He sighed. It would be great if someone did... Despite all his love for social media and all, he didn't really want to spend this whole night just on his phone, listening to the party noises. 

"Obviously! Come on, he's just a fucking brat who thinks he's in power now. All bark but no fucking bite."

His finger stopped mid-scrolling, his attention caught by a photo posted by one of his friends. Eh, Jiang Cheng wasn't a person to post anything often, so it was a big occasion! He tapped the screen twice and quickly opened the comments section. 

"I don't know, he seems strong... he beat up two people at once."

He typed a short comment about the photo and how shocking it is to see him active at all, before closing off the app. Though, he was even more surprised to see that almost instantly he got a notification back. 

"But they were unprepared losers. I'll get the old man's people, get some knives or something and we will fucking deal with the fucker."

It took him no time to open direct messages with Jiang Cheng, seeing that he was online. He was bored, alright? And Jiang Cheng was the perfect person to text! Well, maybe because he was sometimes funny to tease... 

"...you want to kill him?"

He texted him about how he was at some boring party and had no one to dance with, he had no one else to bother in other words. As if Jiang Cheng cared, was the reply. 

"Nah, wouldn't risk jail because of trash like him. Just stab him to show who's actually in power and that's it. A warning, you know."

Nie Huaisang sighed heavily and clicked out of the app again. He stared at the screen for a moment and opened the camera instead. He posed to the camera, opting for the same, well known pose he had in most of his party photos. 

"I don't want to deal with his brother if anything serious happens to him, though." 

It took him a moment to actually make a good photo, good quality, and all in this party lighting, but he looked super cute! He opened Instagram again and posted the said picture. He couldn't be bothered with a good caption, so instead, he just put the first emoji he had in his recent ones and tapped "post". 

"Ha! As if he cares about this annoying orphan... He will thank us for dealing with him, watch it."

And then, he opened his direct messages with Jiang Cheng again. 

you: you better watch ur brother btw

jiang cheng: why

you: [pic]

The photo was showing two guys sitting near the couch Huaisang was occupying. If they were a little less obnoxious and not so fucking loud, maybe he wouldn't hear their full conversation and their plan would succeed, but, well! Maybe if they cared about their surroundings more. 

you: ive been listening to them talk for some time

you: and they might be out for wei-xiongs blood

you: this time literally 

jiang cheng: fuck

jiang cheng: what the fuck 

you: take care, you two

Nie Huaisang tapped out of the app and raised his eyes from the phone. His gaze lingered on the two men, talking loudly and drinking some random liquor he was sure wasn't even party sponsored until his phone screen went black.

Well, he should sit around for some more, maybe. Who knows what else he would accidentally hear? He pulled out his earphones. This is going to be a long, long night it seems.

Yuri Duel Links 2024

(this is literally just a masterpost of everything that made me insane over the course of the event so I can reflect and laugh/cry/etc)

first of all the sentence "Yuri Duel Links Event 2024" would have put me in a coma if you told me that say like. a month and a half ago. when Lulu and Rin came in September I was SURE it was going to be at least early 2025 before we got him. and Yet,

I was in the middle of getting ready for a concert when I got a notification from the DL subreddit of all things that said "He's Finally In" and I saw a little picture of Yuri and I was like Lol. Yeah Ok. so then I opened duel links and checked and was hit with This:

and I was like Okay. okay. cool cool cool cool. I'm gonna be so normal about this. *narrator voice* "via the tags on this post, you could see they were indeed not normal about it"

and girl sorry I wasn't gonna be normal about it like I've wanted this cunt in duel links since he landed on my radar. I knew from the first episode he appeared in that he was going to be my favorite arc-v character because I tend to have a Type when it comes to characters. it's been the same since I was like 8. sue me.

I even started getting into theory territory I was SERIOUS

(this ended up not being the case but congrats to Dumon for being the July unlock that was a lot of fun)

HOWEVER SPEAKING OF PREDICTING UNLOCKS I DO HAVE TO SAY I made this list back in MAY predicting the rest of the characters for 2024, and while some of these are very out there and Not Happening (sorry Marik and Atticus) I DID ORIGINALLY PREDICT YURI FOR AN OCTOBER UNLOCK. (Dumon for July as well) I AM LITERALLY JOHN KONAMI I GUESS.

so time goes by and I have a month to grind gems for Yuri's box because OBVIOUSLY I need a full character deck for him. would tumblr user chimerafflesia do anything less. I achieved this btw. 9999 gems the day before the event started. I was READY.

October 23rd. I literally wake up at 6am because I was so excited I was like a kid on christmas. I am hit with these screens and actually got kinda misty eyed because it was Happening

I waited 5000 years (about 7 months) to see that "Event Exclusive" in front of him and it was real and happening like CHEERS I'LL DRINK TO THAT!

I recapped a lot of my initial reactions on day one here and here but it just doesn't do it justice like I was just so excited and happy and having the time of my life playing this little freemium mobile game. I've said it like 348735 times now but duel links is genuinely so fucking amazing to me I love this game so so so much.

AND THIS EVENT WAS SO WONDERFUL!!!! THEY DID RIGHT BY HIM I WAS (AND STILL AM) SO HAPPY. HIS CHARACTERIZATION STAYED INTACT. WE GOT SOME NEW LITTLE FLAVOR DETAILS FOR HIM. THAT MAY HAVE TO BE A SEPARATE POST BUT GOD. YURI FANS WE ARE EATING GOOD.

here are some personal favorites. little problem child 🩷💜

and course this instant classic:

but there are so many. I point to this video which has all his dialouge including taunts.

look at these screenshots man like come on. I can't believe these are real. they look like images that would've been posted on reddit like 3 years ago with the caption "This Will Be Duel Links in 2024" EXCEPT IT IS.

I set up this board with all the predap extra deck mons + starving venom and was staring at it like Man We Really Won. this shit's beautiful

Just. man I feel like there's so much more I wanna say but overall it was just a really fun event. this might sound silly to some people but I really do have a special connection to yugioh in general and I do feel like it was fate when it came into my life. I really got into yugioh in April 2021 during a particurally dark time in my life and yugioh became like a lifeline for me. it was an escape. it still is. I'm always going to be grateful for this franchise.

I watched arc-v from March-April of this year (immediately after finishing zexal btw, which is the first time ever I watched two yugioh anime back to back) and to say it fried my brain is kind of an understatement like I still think about this show every day of my life. to quote my own tweet:

like. YEAH.

Yuri in particular is a fusion parasite all on his own he wormed himself into my brain and hasn't let go. I've rewatched his episodes so many times but I think I've seen arc-v episode 135 in particular roughly 124 times. could be more. it will be more.

I can't help but feel like watching arc-v this year was meant to be. (first of all, the same year I watch it FOUR arc-v characters get into duel links? divine timing if I've ever seen it) but in particular the timing of the Yuri event feels very nice. I've been dealing with some personal woes (particulary surrounding employment, amongst other things) and again this event was such an escape for me, even if just for a few hours each day. I can't wait until he's back in a few months. we will be there :)

I'm at the point where I don't really care if it's "cringe" to get this emo about shows/characters/games etc cuz at the end of the day this shit really does mean something to me man. I know what yugioh has done for me and what it'll definitely continue to do for me and I'm grateful for it <3

(PS it is really really fun to wreck people on ranked with super poly) here is a live image of me playing online duel links

Matchup exchange for @denjivhs

This was a rollercoster because belphie just gave me the equivalent of an art block....anyways here it is! Concerning aesthetic i don't know how to edit and such so I'll send you the pictures in private later!

Your match for Tokyo Revengers is....Draken!

When I read your description I immediately thought of Draken (we will omit his love for Emma here). He is someone who matches your interests and you have a great chemistry with him too!

Now for the trope….Slow burn that’d make you want to die because come on it’s been over 100 chapter! This is mostly due to Draken personal life (I mean he never confessed to Emma…) His life is dangerous and he is sometimes not proud of how he grew up. He doesn’t want to rope you into all this and potentially put you in danger that’s why he is reluctant to ask you out. He’s rather never confess if he thinks someone loves you and is better for you. He needs reassurance and for you to be patient with him. If he’s not secure enough and you try to confess he’ll distance himself. So yeah definitely a slow burn.

Draken is the type of boyfriend that shows his love with actions. He doesn’t say I love you often but he always remembers you when he is out (when he pass by a patisserie you may like he’ll buy it for you). He always texts you or send you pictures with the captions ‘Reminds me of you’ or ‘I think you’ll like it. He loves being with you (outside or at home) but the only moment he won’t let you accompany him is when gangs are involved. Draken is protective and won’t put you in danger even if you agree to it. Sometimes it can get overbearing because he texts you ‘Where are you? Don’t use XYZ street’ and the such. He’ll tone it down if you confront him but the fear is always here. Since you love thrill I think he’s gonna develop heart problems lol.

Draken loves spending time with you at the comfort of his (or your) room. You both share your music tastes and he’d be down to get a matching tattoo with you once the relationship is serious enough. Movies nights are a must at least once a week. He doesn’t look like someone who knows the classics so you’d be the one to introduce him to many movies. Oh and you’re the only one who can touch his hair. I believe he’s good at styling hair so please just let him do yours! Now he’s not one for literature, he’ll try to write you letters but only a percent of them arrive to you because he deems all his other tentative as trash.

In this relation, both of you have trust issues. Draken will take time to open up fully despite how comfortable he feels with you. At first he’d be rather hurt that you don’t open up to him when he does but his friends (Emma and the girls at the brothel. The rest are….ahem.) will explain it to him and he’ll apologize for being too pushy with a big plushie and flowers. He doesn’t mind your anger issues cuz he deals with Mickey of all people so he knows how to mediate and when to just give you space. It’s rare that he gets angry for your anger issues unless he’s in a very very bad mood already. So yeah the relation has issues here but nothing communication won’t fix.

When you tease him he actually blushes! He tries to retort but fails which results in him hugging you so you’ll just stop (or kissing you). He will also record you when you break into little dances because he finds it so cute! He doesn’t joke as much as you but knows how to have a good laugh. Your inappropriate jokes will just earn you a desperate sigh.

Also I can totally see a motorcycle rider’s aesthetic with both lovers being menaces.

For Obey Me your match is....Belphegor!

Not gonna lie, both twins were fit for you but Belphie is just….way more fitting lol.

It’s the typical enemies or rivals to lovers here. He’s despicable at first, always insulting and you just answer back being a smartass. You two give a massive headache to Lucifer who’s actually regretting his life choices. It reaches the points where everyone just forces you into the same room praying (oh the irony) that you’ll find something to get along. And you two do get along, with music! He definitely has the same music taste as you. This is how you two started getting together and then after some qtime one of you said ‘Shut up and kiss me’ (probably belphie cuz he got jealous). Tada relationship status has been updated.

Your two personalities are actually similar. He’s the type of lover to hype you up when making impulsive decisions, literally the little devil on your shoulder. He always say yeah go out alone and then proceeds to come with you because he doesn’t want you to get hurt (will only admit it if you’re near death). He’s protective, sometimes downright possessive and that’s in character but he loves you in his own way.

Belphie is also moody and just like you, needs some alone time. So yeah he totally knows when to leave you alone. Since he is lazy and all (his sun duh), he really appreciates your independent and individualistic personality. Because, as clingy as he is, he’s still sometimes rather absent (in his daily me time) and loves that you don’t bitch him about it if we can say that. He knows he has lots of flaws that can be deal breakers to some (like me. He’s my least favorite) so he really appreciates your patience.

One of his favorite activities is watching movies with you after a long day (read cuddling you and nodding off while you’re watching a lovie). It’s also his moments where he just rants about anything and anyone that pissed him off (he does this daily). Speaking about cuddling…Belphie is a very touchy lover while you said that you don’t openly express affection. He’ll be all whiny when you don’t but won’t press it because he knows you just need time. I also believe he wouldn’t mind getting a matching tattoo or piercing with you (he seems like someone who’d get a belly button tattoo ngl). He also participate in your jokes with his own sarcasm. When you do little dances, he will tease you but if you mess up with him enough he will join. Oh and he likes reading too! He has some good recommendations per Satan help.

In general, he fully encourages you to live your best life and even introduces you to new places and thrilling activities. Meanwhile he’s just in the backseat, having it easy and enjoying the ride while making sure you’re safe and all if you see what I mean. The issues in the relationship is that he initially hates humans, he doesn’t acknowledge his mistakes and when he’s angry/in a bad mood he can start saying words he doesn’t mean. You two quarrel often but never break off cuz you love each other.

I don’t really see a specific aesthetic here but the one I have in mind are those red moodboards with the words hell on it and just a plain red and purple moodboard (I’ll send them to you in private later)

Your JJK match is...Nobara!

Now for the grande finale….our dear Nobara from JJK (oh where is she? A misty memory-)

Here the trope is BFF to lovers. None understands you and have fun with you like her. She’s blunt, adventurous and just wants to live her best life too! She honestly just loves your vibes and how you two always have fun. You two are a menace together and everyone knows it (when maki joins in you’re more reasonable but still-). I think she really likes movies/series and probably asked you out during a movie. Where the two BFF kissed. Something among the lines of ‘Wish it could be us’ and it worked (Megumi and Yuuji made a bet over who’d break the ice first, Yuuji lost).

Nobara is a no BS type of person. If she doesn’t like you she’ll say it and if she likes you she says it. But she’s rather embarrassed at saying I love you so instead she’ll just give you compliments through the day and defend you like her life depends on it. She likes your humor, even if it’s salacious and like belphie she chimes in with witty remarks of her own. She’s also shy at being affectionate at first but she’ll get bolder when you admit to liking it. Nothing much just holding hands and wrapping her arm around your waist Cuddles will often be initiated by you at home. You two have some anger issues but you’re two peas in the same pod so I think you’d help each other with it. Your trust issues don’t deter her because she’s determined that you’re the one so she will patiently wait for you. When you’re in a bad mood, she’ll go and get you your favorite food/ snack. Her way of showing love is by words and acts of service. For you she’ll write letters (mostly decorate them) that are very aesthetically pleasing (legit she’d become a scrapbooker and dedicate a journal to you two). You’re the only person who’ll know of her insecurities and to who she can comfortably vent.

While thrill activities aren’t her thing, she’ll gladly do them with you because YOLO. You two get at least once a week stuck fighting curses or in some kind of trouble during one of your explorations. Megumi always sighs when he sees you two coming back tired or bruises because he knows.

Nobara LOVES shopping and I hope you also like it or you’ll be the equivalent of the boyfriend waiting at the mall. She loves matching with you and picking outfits/make up she’d think fits you. Your go-to colors are similar so it’s a plus. She also steals your hoodies and jackets since you’re taller than her. When you spend the night at home it’s watching a movie and doing some skincare she prepared (and bitching/gossiping). While I don’t see her getting a piercing she’d be the type to get an ankle tattoo or even one on the wrist. I believe you’d have some common artists concerning the music taste and she’d go dancing before you. She’d just grab your hand and drag you with her.

When you zone out or anything she’s here to rescue you from an awkward situation. Also I can imagine both of you exploring an abandoned place or just going to a dangerous place with, apparently, a gorgeous sunset. It’s a very spontaneous relationship that’d always have you on your toes. Despite that you two don’t fight and just bicker over some petty debate. She joins you on all your adventures and you join hers.

This relationship really gives me rockstar GF and 90s aesthetic.

[unlimitedhorsepower]

i mainly blog about media interests i have but i actually care a lot about politics and yknow common human decency. i own two cats, and i owned my late finnhorse mare for over a decade. i miss her and still love horses a lot.

i allegedly study cultural anthropology at an university and used to study equine masseusing and art. however im kinda just surviving on disability pension rn. feel free to ask about anything else, i love talking!

right now ive dedicated this blog to t&b ryan goldsmith for funsies but i like various things. more than you could imagine

queue posts once per day and i basically only queue things unless im actively making new posts

i make a bunch of posts that i dont tag at all. good luck finding them bc i sure fucking cant find them. some posts i just end up deleting anyways

i rarely go into any tags bc i have brain fungus but if you wanted to show me a post by sending it to me i would probably love to see it!

i dont usually follow back bc of the aforementioned brain fungus and instead skim through the latest things on the blogs of ppl interacting with me (if you wonder why i reblogged something from you randomly)

even if i dont reply in the case i get really busy irl etc, i still always read everything sent to me, every single reply, tag and ask!

my art tag: #gabriels doodles

wildly varying quality/effort

i do take requests if you want to try your luck in my ask box

my art-only blog, where i only reblog finished-enough art (im so slow at writing captions ill put my art on here one day for real): @limitedhorsepower​

other miscellanous tags & fun facts about me:

#ryanyurikeith

the sun, the sky and the moon with extremely congruent life issues... its so deep and their themes go perfectly together

#gabriels ouroboros kings

barnaby & ryan & keith (side platter of ryan/keith)  

the sternbild royalty (king of heroes x2 and the wandering gravity prince) as antagonists.

theyre all part of ouroboros for different reasons, but more loyal to each other than the organization for various reasons

#gabriels salaryman heroes

ryan/yuri/keith mainly, self-indulgent joke about high school romance tropes in an office building 

more fun facts about me:

as you can see i have a few different T&B AUs that i may post about or just totally forget and never make content for again despite them being perfectly mapped out in my mind but i love to share facts about them

if you ever interact with me here and thought that my answer didnt make sense, it was probably just that my brain (ADHD&co.) actively works against me and i may make really bad typos or straightup forget to type half of the words in a sentence. but hey. i did my best. never be afraid to ask for a clarification though

i also genuinely suffer from being overtly verbose (again... my brain...) and please dont feel pressured to read something if i sent you an extremely long DM reply or made a really long-winded reblog or something. i just communicate like that but i dont mind if you cant read it LMFAO.

my long sentences makes me seem really serious sometimes even when im not but im very friendly i promise!

and let me know if my typing is hard to read, i can switch to proper capitalization and punctuation if needed

!!!Sorry for my english!!! 🙏😓😓💦

Intrusive? No, this is awesome! I'm so happy that my little Internet trail over Brazilian anime geek music has lead you to me. Thank you for reaching out! Your Alluka profile picture is adorable 😊 sending a message your way.

That Gon x Pitou track was sooo good, combining the forces of Mistery and M4rkim. I'm going to recommend it to other English speakers right now. My nerdcore + geek music recs have been a long time coming, so I might as well start them off with a bang!

A tip for my fellow clueless gringos/gringas: go into caption settings on YouTube and auto-translate! They can take a while to load. If you're impatient, go down in the comments and a user 'genesis' has transcribed the lyrics. Translate from there and follow along ^^

Medonho e sombrio / O ódio consumiu / Uma tormenta em um calmo mar / Ira de um homem gentil!

These lines stuck with me after hearing "Jan Ken Guu" by Kaitou. It's probably a coincidence, but seeing the title of this Pitou and Gon track, Homem Gentil, made me think it was inspired by Kaitou's.

As a bigbig Gon fan, these lines and this title resonate with me so strongly. He's a character often ignored, hated or interpreted in a way that doesn't sit right with me. I sympathise a lot with the little dude, and I find his mindset/morality interesting to analyse. To hear some guys from across the waters interpret my favourite character similarly to me is a nice feeling, even if I understand why Gon is controversial.

M4rkim did the character justice. I knew of M4rkim from his Griffith (Berserk) track and of course, his prior take on our boy Gon. Been a while since he did Caçador and I see the development. Mistery was more new to me, as I had only heard her Pitou track. That was a serious banger. Together? They killed it. This was such a good song.

If my memory hasn't gone bad, I've heard of tracks like this collaboration, Kaitou's "Jan Ken Guu" and Mistery's "Marionette" being called 'movement' type songs. I'm not sure what that means, but they have a shared special something that's interesting to see.

On the series, it's a shame HxH isn't too popular in Brazil. I see the 1999 anime getting a pt-br dub and all the amazing Hunter geek music Gabriza, Tauz, Enygma, Chrono, Kaitou, Basara, D.Y.A, Shiny etc. put out and I assumed it was super loved!

I don't know just how popular it is in England / rest of the UK (where I live) or the West specifically though. It is very highly rated on the website My Anime List, and named a lot when people talk about the best shonen, but One Piece, Naruto, FMAB, MHA and newer generation anime get talked about more I think. Which is a shame :(

Anyway, am so happy you reached out to me. I'm a huge fan of HxH and I love making new friends. A newbie with Brazilian geek music, and only got into it when I found Enygma's Hisoka track near release. Still, it's really cool!

It sucks to be on your own when you're super passionate about something, so I'd be happy to be someone you can share your fangirling with :D

and no worries about the english! understood you, and I think it's pretty awesome for you to reach out in a foreign language (because it can be real intimidating). if you can bear with my shoddy portugese and me using awkward translation tools, I don't mind switching languages to give you a break 💜

─ obsessed bf!gojo x gn!reader ⋆. based on: 22 - lil candy paint, bhad bhabie

gojo had a bad habit.

a bad habit of blowing up your phone.

it wasn’t the 'three texts in a row' kind of blowing up, either.

oh no, gojo satoru didn’t do small-scale chaos.

it was an art form for him. the type of masterpiece that made your phone buzz off your nightstand at 3 a.m. with thirty consecutive messages that alternated between blurry selfies, close-ups of his sunglasses, and texts like:

“hey👋 (with the intention of getting midnight sushi)”

“do u think panda would let me dye him pink? 🤔”

“pick up plzzz i jsut saw the funniest video on instagram but i accidnetally exited tje app it and cant find it anymore so i'm jsut going to explain it to you in excruciatign detail”

and tonight was no different—except this time, it came after your first real argument.

you couldn’t even remember what had set it off anymore, but it had ended with you storming off and gojo… well, doing whatever gojo does when someone’s mad at him (probably eating mochi and sulking).

soon enough, after an hour or so of no contact, the first barrage had begun: thirty consecutive texts ranging from the initial

“i’m sorry 🥺👉👈”

to a dramatic

“why do you hate me? 😭💔 (don't answer that.)”

you’d ignored all of them, determined to let him stew.

but then the calls begun.

ring after ring, voicemail after voicemail, starting out with intense professions of love that slowly faded into desperate pleas for you to call him back, text him back, to respond just once.

and when those went unanswered too, he escalated.

your phone buzzed on your nightstand, flashing yet another text. this time, it came with a photo—gojo lying facedown on what appeared to be megumi’s couch, his hand clutching an empty box of tissues. the caption read:

“i’ve been crying for 84 years 😢 come back pls”

you rolled your eyes, but the corner of your mouth twitched at the photo despite yourself.

he’s impossible.

another buzz. this one said,

“fine if ur not gonna answer just know ur the light of my life and i’ll literally wither away like an unwatered houseplant if u don’t forgive me soon 😭 also ur socks are still in my room do u want me to wash them or nah”

the buzz after that said,

“actually nah i'm not bothered to wash them"

and then another buzz.

"also u look hotter when ur mad 🥰”

the audacity of this man.

you let your impulses get the better of you and texted back a stern "leave. me. alone."

and not even a second later, your phone screen lit up with gojo's face for the umpteenth time.

you groaned, snatching it up and finally swiping to answer to put an end to all of this.

“gojo, what part of ‘leave me alone’ don’t you understand?!”

“oh my god,” he gasped, his voice overflowing with fake relief. “you’re alive!”

“i—”

“you weren’t answering, so i thought maybe you’d been kidnapped! or fallen down a well! or—”

“i ignored you,” you interrupted sharply. “on purpose.”

“no yeah, i got that,” he said breezily, completely unfazed. “but we're talking now! the devil sure does work hard, but gojo works harderrrrr."

"gojo—"

"so, how much did ya miss me?”

"gojo."

"also did you see my text about the socks?”

"gojo!"

“aaaaand i’m outside your window by the way.”

“you’re what?”

“outside!” he chirped back like it was the most normal thing in the world.

sure enough, when you yanked open your curtains, there he was—gojo satoru, standing on your lawn in a hoodie two sizes too big, clutching a mismatched bouquet of convenience store snacks and flowers that you could just tell he had made himself.

“ta-da~!” he grinned into the phone as you watched him hold up the haul like it was an olympic medal. “i come bearing gifts!”

you gawked at him. “are you serious?”

“deadly,” he said, his smile widening so much you could even see it from your vantage point. “i brought your favourite snacks, and also, i stole these flowers from my neighbour’s garden. don’t tell anyone.”

“oh my god.” you smacked your forehead, torn between laughing and drawing your curtains shut. “it’s three in the morning.”

“yeah, well, you didn’t answer my texts,” he said, pouting dramatically. “do you have any idea how sad that made me? i’m so sad, baby, like, devastated. i swear i saw my life flash before my eyes.”

you folded your arms, mock unimpressed. “what’s sad is that you think this is going to work.”

“it’s already working,” he shot back smugly. “you’re talking to me, aren’t you?”

you hated that he was right. you hated even more that your annoyance was quickly being replaced by amusement. he’s lucky he’s cute.

“toru, just go home,” you sighed, though your voice lacked its earlier venom.

“not until you forgive me,” he declared, dropping to one knee with such theatrics you were surprised broadway hadn't whisked him away already. “or at least let me in so i can grovel properly.”

“you’re unbelievable.”

“yeah. unbelievably in love with you.”

you threw a pillow at the window, even though it wouldn’t reach him, giving yourself a minute to think.

okay, more like a few seconds. to be fair, you were sure he had learnt his lesson. and, well...you were craving ramen, which happened to be placed front and centre in his haphazard bouquet.

“fine!" you whisper-yelled into the phone, a smile already creeping its way onto your face despite your best efforts to stay mad. "but if you wake up my neighbours, i swear i'm locking you out.”

his grin practically lit up the yard. “deal!”

and just like that, you were stomping down the stairs, blanket in hand, ready to let in the most exasperating, ridiculous, adorable man you’d ever met.

because, really, how could you stay mad at him?

Just Apple event things

Not exactly a live blog. But sorta typing this as it goes.

Starting with a roll of how cool it is to walk around with your Apple stuff.

A bit of confirming to all the people watching that they made the right choice.

Lots of captions about how the crash detection worked that one time or how this dude uses his phone to make phone calls… etc.

the best part of these videos is how they nail the presenter’s feet to the floor so they can’t move.

Tim Cook talking about what he’ll be talking about inc. apple Intelligence (Not available in anyone’s area).

Tim’s leaning on Apple Watch and how amazeballs it is to gee up everyone for the tiny updates they actually pushed: Most of Apple Watch’s stuff is software.

Exciting abstract video to tease the new larger screen. The exciting new Series 10 looks like the exciting old series 6.

Over to some guy doing the approved splayed legs and DO NOT MOVE YOUR FEET pose.

Screen is bigger. Five minutes of why ‘bigger screen is better for looking at stuff’

“Please do not turn your display off. We want other people to see you wearing it in ways that are impressive”.

New watch face: Big numbers and a bar chart for seconds, and one that looks like the screen’s shimmering when you waggle your wrist.

Now it’s wider, it can be thinner. Apple love thinner. It now comes in two types of fake gold, sliver, and black. Which you can then cover in a case to stop your screen getting scratched.

Charging is faster, which is good because the battery doesn’t last longer.

CPU’s faster so it can handle all those things it was already doing.

Off to the Health VP. Her shoes have been superglued to the floor.

She gives a quick recap of the features that have been in since v6 and how the new UI will display them to you. Also detect if you snore.

I want to snark about that, but a friend of mine died of it. So.

I’m actually really into sleep tracking, which Apple’s been punting on. They got serious this time, but they haven’t got certification to actually roll that out, but they expect to.

New VP. Her colour co-ordinated trainers are stapled to the dirt road. DID U KNO that a larger screen lets you read the screen easier?

Also, depth gauge for swims. Cool. But my shower might be higher than 50 m depth (I’m not sure), so I should be careful.

No action button, but has noise-cancelling for phone calls.

Ultra time. Someone forgot to zip tie this guy’s feet down. He keeps taking steps.

Blah blah workout crap. Like 90% of Ultras aren’t worn by office limpets whose major exercise is 45 minutes at the gym.

Headline feature: They have a matte black. Ultra watch-face is big numbers with a progress bar for seconds. Shut up, it’s different.

Back to Tim, desperately trying to peel his feet off the pathway. Oh wait, he’s talking about AirPods. They’re magically easy, you know.

Over to Coit Tower. Now, a word about how Apple mapped ears to create AirPods that look like all the other AirPods. Big up on the chip (It’s the AirPods Pro 2 chip). A lot of weaselling — “It’s the greatest most magically best AirPods (in this series (Which has one model (But they’re not as good as the next model up (We took the wrapper off so look, eco friendly)))).

They’re AirPods pro 2s without the rubber tip. Yawn

And now… Airpods MAX! Apple is doing nothing with them apart from new colours and USB-C.

New person talking about software for Airpods Pro: Added hearing aide mode. At last - They could have done this 2 years ago.

$6000 for hearing aides or $240 for ANC AirPods that take and send phone calls? Hmm.

Also digital earplugs (prevents audio volume spikes (Didn’t they already do that?)), hearing tests (You can do that with a website anyway but hey.) - “We expect clearance from the FDA soon”.

iPhone time

I wonder what Tim Cook’s Fursona is? I bet it’s a donkey.

iPhone 16 raises the bar of what an iPhone can do? I hope so or why are you putting it out? O wait. iPhone SE’s a thing, which lowers the bar of what an iPhone can do

Big news: 2 new physical buttons. One macro button and one camera button for camera-ing

Now let us talk about Apple Intelligence (Not available in your area).

Basically it’s an on-board LLM which needs a ton of CPU, NPU and RAM. So the A18 has more CPU, NPU and RAM.

It’s wehkjhs% faster than earlier apple chips! It has a big GPU for GPU stuff (Think photo and video processing (And also games for the three people who are trying to run console class games on a touch screen))

And now over to Hair and Hair’s Craig.

No funny bit about the hairdo this time. Pity. They also let Craig walk around. They don’t let Tim walk.

Anyway… he’s talking about something. I think it’s more about AI… It’s just a rehash of the WWDC thing blah blah our AI’s great, it won’t harvest your queries, so good so amazeballs (Not available in your area).

Type to find images and videos - Handy - And on-demand collage videos - Fun!

Emails and notifications will be summarised by Intelligence (Not available in your area).

Siri getting BETTAR using Intelligence (Not available in your area) - It’ll be FREE! … because some features of Intelligence are planned as subscription models.

The big ticket is the integration with the OS so you can use it as a manual/tutorial.

Huh, back to the new camera button: It’s to use the camera for LLM computer vision e.g. to add event lists, look up restaurants, ID an object… or solve homework.

Craig’s Hair would like you to know this is all completely private.

And now… a word about how Cameras are amazing. The camera button is… ah it’s a touchpad. it launches the camera, takes pics or grabs video and does double press: light press to set the zoom or select other settings and hard to take. I’m there. Camera’s probably the most used feature of an iPhone

A lot about computational photography: Summary - It take good pic.

Back to Cayenne: Did u kno you can play gaemes on ur phone? Apple put a heat sink in to stop your phone melting your fingertips off.

Demo of Raytracing on iPhone. Demo is garbage.

Plug for Tencent. Demo is garbage.

None of these people seem to know what ‘raytracing’ means or that their demo looks exactly like non-raytraced video.

Yada yada, the rest of this is… (not available in your area).

And now a video of people using their iPhones in ways that you will never use your iPhone. Look they’re more exciting than you!

iPhone Pro time. Yawn. It’s same-same but more screen, CPU, RAM, and storage and some extra cameras. Nothing to see here.

Not stated: That the on-board apple intelligence (Not available in your area) which only runs on Pro phones or M series devices, will probably need massive amounts of storage - 32GB or 64Gb.

Back to Sri who’s voice has failed. He’s talking about how the A18 - y’know he covered this earlier, this is a recap.

Look: Triple-A games like… uhhhh Death Stranding. OK cutting edge of 2019.

Why are they making Sri do this with laryngitis? And what is Tim Cookappl’s fursona? I’m starting to think it’s a sheep.

They’re still talking about the software for the pro. It’s software very underwhelming. The basics are, they want you to buy an iPhone pro if you can’t afford a real camera. Which… OK? Fine. Very niche.

OK so the camera button is a touchpad. Can I use it to scroll web pages? Zoom on images? Seek in video and audio?

This was a big bag of nothing. Almost all these features run on older hardware, because they’re all software updates

Good software updates but still.

[bisluthq]

For the love out loud anon, I think we (swifties but critical ones who can freely say what we do and don’t like lol) have to remember the swifties who say ‘the current bf does this, therefore the ex never loved her’ are full on cupcakes and focus only on one issue. Taylor didn’t want to be in the basement, they see her with someone who puts her in the penthouse so they get excited. But you can only stay excited for so long, so they need something to be critical of, so the ex enters the chat and everything said in miss Americana documentary and the other love song lyrics gets ignored and forgotten.

That’s just the way that side of the fandom operates.

I find being loved out loud a really interesting topic because I am extremely private (would give Joseph a run for his money ijbol) and usually act in accordance with the vibe (should I be reserved, booty popping or smiling slightly despite being dead inside??) but if I’m comfortable with my environment and the people in it, I come across as extroverted. So for me, being loved out loud would be if I think of someone as my best friend, I’d hope I’m a bridesmaid in their wedding, or if I go somewhere nice with my friend who puts everything on her Instagram stories and she doesn’t post about our outing or the place we went to, I’d wonder why. I’m very single which is why I’m using friendship examples lol but also I don’t post to my real social media pages, so I would feel no desire to post about or have posts made about a romantic relationship, unless I had a partner who was always posting things and then deliberately excluding me, that would be a red flag to pause on.

With Taylor, I think it’s very easy for the current bf to say he’s proud of her and mention her in interviews and on his podcast because he’s always in the media and he’s welcomed some of his personal life to be talked about by talking about it on the podcast (I assume anyway, I’ve only seen the clips relating to Taylor lol). So it’d be very weird if he shut that down without a simple ‘yeah I’m proud, she’s great, it was an amazing show’ type of basic answer. Joe only had one movie/ press tour before Taylor (and they were together half way through it lol) so he had no precedent to live up to, it didn’t seem weird him not talking about her because honestly the dude just rarely talks. Most of the questions he was asked about her were completely irrelevant to his usually very serious film talks, but I do think the fandom and Taylor would’ve exploded if he posted a photo of his Grammy with a caption of “what an honour - W.B 🎼” because that would’ve been in line with his behaviour but a way of acknowledging their relationship.

I think living in a world where so much is shared, when people don’t share a lot, they come across disingenuous or ashamed or like they’re trying to hide something — all things that have been said to me because I don’t like posting to my own social media 🙄

But cupcakes are gonna cupcake. It’s very on brand though that they can’t hype something up without pitting women against each other, I mean comparing it to something else…. 😜

yea…
