Ghostbur headcanons cuz he’s on my mind

-Can shapeshift. Doenst usually have the energy to do it most days but when he does he tries to make himself look more human since his main form looks most like a typical ghost

-Communicates with sign language or by writing. This makes him easier to ignore and he hates it

-Eats blue. His mouth or mouth area is stained with ink that he can’t seem to scrub off

-See’s alivebur in mirrors. Now he freaks out over them but he can never seem to tell people why

-He’s more angry than people think. He either just gets brushed off or hides it because it’s not worth showing it

-Sometimes for fun he reanimates aliveburs corpse. He can’t stay in their for long though

-Has a collection of polariods and he keeps it with him at all times. Now i’n limbo it’s what he uses to jog his memory (but it barley works most of the time)

-Made a scarf out of friends wool. He wears it everywhere

-When he does shapeshift to look more human, his body is freakishly long and tall and everyone hates it but they don’t have the heart to stop him since he seems happier

-You can see right through where c!phil stabbed him and it creeps him out so he always wears baggy and heavy clothes to hide it

-Tried but failed to smoke a cigarette on a really bad night

-Sometimes he gets bad memories and everytime that happens he won’t be seen for days on end

-Sometimes sleeps out in friends barn despite the fact he doesn’t need sleep he just needs the comfort of friend

-Has a plushie of friend that randomly appeared one day. He wasn’t sure where it was from but he drags it everywhere

-Will play his guitar for others when they are sad. He hopes it reminds them of when alivebur was good

-Strictly thinks in black and white and it’s a problem

-Most people don’t like hugging him due to the ink stains and the cold but they always let him hug them

-He once found pogtopia completely on his own while some random teens were exploring it and he ended up haunting them in a way. It ended up starting an urban legend the the ex presidents ghost lives their and haunts people who enter

-Watches old footage of when alivebur was president (when he was good) and tries to mimick him to seem good

-When he was brought to limbo, he and alivebur had to fight for a ticket to get out. Dream purposely made them fight for it even though he wasn’t going to let ghostbur out anyways even if he did win

On This Day The 24th October In 1960 Elvis Presley Is Recognised By Arkansas State College And Is Presented And Awarded By Them The Man Of The Year Award At Is Home Graceland In Memphis Tennessee.By Two Representatives Who Come in Person From The Tau Epilson Fraternity At The Arkansas State College.

The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at Arkansas State College was riding high on a wave of publicity in the fall of 1960. The fraternity had grabbed some positive headlines when chapter president Rick Husky, a journalism student from Wynne, succeeded in getting Ronald Reagan to drop by the fraternity house during his visit to Jonesboro.

Emboldened by the publicity Reagan's visit got, Husky dreamed up an idea to initiate someone famous as an honorary member. Elvis Presley was the unanimous choice, but no one believed Husky could pull it off. 'In fact, I remember several members pretty much laughing in my face', Husky said.

Rising to the challenge, Husky came up with the idea of presenting Elvis Presley with a Man of the Year Award for his considerable contributions to charity.

Elvis Presley had recently been discharged from the Army and had just arrived back at Graceland from Germany. Husky got the name of Elvis' Presley’s ‘secretary from a fan magazine and sent a letter to Elvis Presley at Graceland in care of the secretary notifying him that TKE wished to present him with his award.

But even he wasn't prepared for what followed when the world's biggest entertainer actually accepted their invitation to become an honorary TKE brother. 'Several days after mailing the letter to Graceland, I was shocked to receive a telegram at my dorm room', Husky said. 'It was from Elvis Presley ‘s secretary stating he was happy to learn of his Man of the Year Award. I was invited to Graceland to present the award and to initiate Elvis Presley at a night and time the following week'.

There was just one problem though. While the idea of recognizing Elvis Presley for his charity work was sincere, Husky had nothing to actually present to the entertainer because he had completely concocted the award as a publicity stunt. In a panic, Husky hurriedly dashed off some words to be engraved on a plaque for Elvis Presley’s Name and through some arm twisting, was able to get a Jonesboro sporting goods store to prepare an impressive polished brass plaque. Husky and TKE members Don DeArmen of Corning and Jeff Sheraer of Patterson, Mo., along with faculty member and fraternity advisor Robert Howe and photographer Charles Crowe, set out for Graceland on Oct. 24, 1960 in Husky's 1956 pink and white Ford for their meeting with Elvis Presley.Very Rare B/W Candid Photos Of Elvis Presley With The Two Representatives From Arkansas State College Tau Kappa Epilson Fraternity Taken By Elvis Presley’s Father Vernon Presley Here At Graceland And Also Of Is Famous Son Being Presented Here With The Man Of The Year Award And The Badge Pin As Well Here On The 24th October In 1960. As At the last mintue Charles Crowe Had A Family Emergency So Thank God Elvis Presley’s Father Vernon Presley Stepped In To Take These Rare B/W Candid Photos As Vernon Presley was An Excellent Photographer So Vernon Elvis Presley’s Father Saved The Day. And Of Course He Was Extremely Happy To See His Famous Son Elvis Presley Had Been Given The Recognition That He Truly Deserved.

True Fact; Elvis Presley Friends Here On Tumblr. Did You Know That Rick Husky Who Organised This Man Of The Year Award For Elvis Presley’s Achievements For Contributing To Charitable Cause’s Became A Friend Of Elvis Presley And Went On To Become A Director And Producer Of Many Great 1970’s Action Tv Series including Police Woman Charlie’s Angels etc... And Elvis Presley’s Contacted Him I’n 1974 When He Wanted To Produce Is Shelved The New Gladiators Karate Action Movie That Sadly Elvis Presley But He Didn’t Go Ahead And Finish It As Threre is Some Rare Footage Of It On A DVD and The Internet. And Another Fact Its Rumoured That Bruce Lee In 1972 When He Made Enter The Dragon In Hollywood With Warner Brother Studios Wanted To Meet Elvis Presley And Say Hello As Bruce Lee Was An Elvis Presley Fan And He Had The Greatest Respect For Elvis Presley Through Elvis Presley’s Martial Arts Friend Chuck Norris And Ed Parker But It Was Never Confirmed. As They Sadly Never Met Not Like The FAKE Photoshop Photo That People Who Shall We Say Will Remain Nameless Saying It’s Elvis Presley Meeting Bruce Lee In 1970 Sorry My Dear Elvis Presley Friends Here On Tumblr It’s Not It’s FAKE.

spencer hastings 1, 2, 8, and 14 - for the character ask game you actually rb’ed, lol 💖💖💖

Spencer Hastings

Why do you like or dislike this character?

— She is like an amalgamation of many traits/tropes that appeal to me in characters first of all: detective in love with the mystery, repressed queer-coded rich girl hated by her family, dryly sarcastic, ambitious driven and neurotic perfectionist, isolated by a leader role, nosiest bitch on the planet etc. She was like designed in a lab for me to be obsessed with her. Then factor in Troian playing her so complexly and with so many layers and also being extremely hot like… *Hanna voice* she’s Spencer, what’s not to like?

Favorite thing about them?

There are many things I can’t pick just one.. but if I’n picking one off the top of my head in this moment I will say it’s her loyalty and love for her friends / how far she’ll go to protect them.

What’s something fandom does with this character that you despise?

Well I was not in the pll fandom while the show was airing so I’m less *in the know* about what Spencer discourse happened then beyond people being mad at her because of Spaleb (which L). But I do think (and this is not unique to Spencer I think it happens with a lot of chars who are classified as *the smart one* among an ensemble or in a friend group) that sometimes there’s an over focus on wanting her to be perfectly smart and competent all the time which leads to downplaying her vulnerability/weak spots which are part of what makes her so interesting. Even with weak spots in pll writing I actually think they (especially s1-4) do a good job of both show casing Spencer’s intelligence rather than just telling it to you and showing her mess up or fail to grasp things for reasons that are realistic (like for instance. A lot of Spona conflicts are the ones where Spencer is shown as being *less smart than she thought she was* and imo that’s less about Mona being objectively more intelligent even though that’s implied by the show at times, and more that Mona is comfortable being underestimated and also plays into people’s judgements/assumptions about her when it’s convenient vs Spencer can be overly cocky and judgemental and a huge part of her identity is being seen as the smartest person in the room (because she grew up thinking that’s the only way she could be valued/worthy of love because that’s the environment she grew up in. Also things to be said about her privileged rich white etc. it effects her *game* so to speak.) Where was I. Yeah just reducing her to the *smart girl* stereotype can be irksome but I haven’t seen large scale mischaracterization the way that happens to some of my favs so grateful for that.

Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character

old money prep, with a hint of something slightly edgier mixed in something a little weird a little goth (a little queer) but overall classy. which is *chef’s kiss* for characterization I love Spencer’s wardrobe

Hey bestie since we are having a sleepover I want to contribute so I am thinking about what to tell you I already told you about my cat in your ask so that's covered. :D My crushes also are not very interesting because I have been with the same person for 10 years lol I can however tell you a fun fact: I only had crushed on people that sooner or later turned out to be queer (I don't mind that though) :D It would also be tempting to play Never have I ever at sleepovers (I never was allowed to play at parties when I was younger because I don't drink and people are stupid) but I fear I am pretty boring when it comes to that. Did I live out my missing youth experiences in my recent Never have I ever Hörk fic? Probably lol :D That fic is also the reason that I now have two different Never have I ever Apps on my phone I will probably never use again lol :D Okay I think I have a would you rather for you since you are also in the spatort fandom: Would you rather have dinner with Leo or Adam? (They cook) Very excited for your opinion about that :D

Okay I think I spammed you with random stuff enough now so have a nice rest of your day. :) I also saw in the tags that you hit you head so I hope you feel better soon! <3

heyyy :) i think i put i phone away to go to sleep like two minutes before you send this, my bad. we can just continue the sleepover tho bc this is fun! (depending on what kind of questions are involved in the never have i ever i am also very boring, but that’s bc i’n ace. when it’s about other stuff i have lots of crazy stories to tell)

that would you rather question is so good, here goes nothing. in my head leo can definitely cook and would probably put together a good meal. adam seems to me like a person who can’t really cook that well (i may be projecting here bc while i can cook basic stuff and get by well enough living alone i am really glad that the meals in the mensa/cafeteria at uni are mostly good so i get some more variety) but then i firmly believe in the existence of the schürk/ross wg and i can imagine vincent forcing adam to help him cook regularly which results in adam being a good enough cook. but yeah, i think if i had to choose one of them to cook for dinner it would be leo simply bc i’m not sure if i trust adam at the stove. but: i think it would be fun if we weren’t just two people? like leo could just bring adam along and i could also bring a friend, bc the more the merrier

since you mentioned my head, after sleeping for nine hours i feel much better now. actually i’m gonna tell you about what happened bc it’s very stupid. i was at a birthday party on saturday and afterwards we all went to the central station to get the last busses of the night while saying good bye to everyone my friend went in to hug me but we were both drunk and he kind of jumped at me and it took me a bit too long to realise what he wanted to do. anyways, long story short: i lost my balance and we both fell over, which is how i hit the back of my head on the pavement. by some insane stroke of luck i did bot get a concussion out of that.

okay, this was a lot of fun, thank you for sending the ask (and for listening to me telling you a lot of random stuff) <3

[crwbannwen]

I was writing this in the tags but I have too much to say.

So this absolutely. Don’t unwelsh my Mari Lwyd please and thank you

BUT I’d like to add some more:

As someone completely guilty of using the phrase ‘Welsh rap battle’ over pwnco. It’s because it’s one, a joke phrase I used to use even before it became more widely recognised, and two a more understandable concept I can explain to people without boring them with rhyme and meter.

I love my rhyme and meters, so trust me I knew how the pwnco worked when I use this phrase. I like saying ‘Welsh Rap Battle’ because I think it’s funny and emphasises how cool and charming I find my own cultural tradition to an English speaking person who wouldn’t know the tradition. It’s good to alter your language for people’s ease of understanding, it’s unfortunate that the joke caught on to people who don’t understand the pwnco. (And there is a limit to changing your language: it eventually does become altering something important too much for someone’s benefit).

I will also note here, while I use the phrase ‘Welsh rap battle’ to reinforce that I like the tradition, I also know people who were ashamed of the culture and tradition and used that phrase to make fun of the dead singing horse (same issue with Scots being called a dialect: cultural shame is a big issue in Wales even if we don’t think it is). Now the tradition is being reclaimed I doubt those people still see it as something to be ashamed of. But it’s something to keep in mind when using that phrase. Intentions do vary.

But my main point I wanted to adress:

Dysgais i Cymraeg fel iaith yn ail felly dw i ddim yn siarad cymraeg yn digon rhugl i fyrfyfyrio pwnco. Dw i’n gallu creu cerdd gydag amser ond beth am y bobl (cymreig) sydd ddim yn gallu siarad cymraeg o gwbl?

So while we don’t want to remove the Welsh from our tradition, we definitely don’t want to make the tradition inaccessible to our own people.

Learning a language is difficult. The education system sucks. Welsh second language a level is torture (I’d know, I did it. Average AS result in my class was a U, it was that awful). And not everyone has the means or the opportunity to learn Welsh so we should take care never to ostracise our own people. It’s more than unfortunate that we don’t all have a good grasp on the language. So having a set Cân-y-Fari that non-speakers or dysgwyr can learn and recite helps to both immerse them in Welsh and includes them in their own culture. Same with having art or an aesthetic. Maybe you can’t speak Welsh: but you can draw. That gives you a way to celebrate your culture still and I think that’s awesome. Even in English I couldn’t improvise a poem with a strict meter. The actual tradition of the Mari Lwyd is a seemingly unattainable level of fluency to most dysgwyr.

Obviously this still needs to coexist with the original Welsh tradition (not necessarily art though, if it’s a drawing of a Mari Lwyd then it’s a drawing of a Mari Lwyd. In my opinion art doesn’t need words unless the artist wants to add words). Traditions do change and that isn’t always a bad thing. In this case it’s not something we want to do, but it’s something we need to consider doing in order to help the non-Welsh speakers and dysgwyr be included in their culture.

There is an even larger issue here to be addressed with how we treat our own people as not ‘Welsh’ enough. Especially people who have mixed heritage. There’s a big racism issue that I could unpack here as well where non-white welsh students are made not to feel Welsh enough to deserve to be involved in welsh culture. Which should not happen. Similarly with half English Welshies. We need to stop treating ourselves like we aren’t Welsh enough; it only hurts us to be denied by our own people.

And as for Krampus comparisons, I bonded with a German friend over our different but similarly unique cultural Christmas traditions so I think that’s good too. I guess it’s the simplification of it that’s the problem

So I hate how the Mari Lwyd has been ‘de-welshed’. But personally, the ability for all of Welsh people to have access to it also needs to be considered in this discourse.

Still if the tradition completely shifted to English I would be so livid.

Edit: forgot to say, while I know the Mari Lwyd isn’t a cryptid, it is a cultural creature and I see no issue with people using that aspect of the tradition as a way to connect to it. The tradition isn’t only changing, it’s expanding. We just have to make sure it doesn’t drown out the original tradition

The thing with the Mari Lwyd, though, is that it's being... I don't know, 'appropriated' is the wrong word, but certainly turned into something it isn't.

Thing is, this is a folk tradition in the Welsh language, and that's the most important aspect of it. I feel partly responsible for this, because I accidentally became a bit of an expert on the topic of the Mari Lwyd in a post that escaped Tumblr containment, and I clearly didn't stress it strongly enough there (in my defence, I wrote that post for ten likes and some attention); but this is a Welsh language tradition, conducted in Welsh, using Welsh language poetic forms that are older than the entire English language, and also a very specific sung melody (with a very specific first verse; that's Cân y Fari). It is not actually a 'rap battle'. It's not a recited poem. It is not any old rhyme scheme however you want.

It is not in English.

Given the extensive and frankly ongoing attempts by England to wipe out Welsh, and its attendant cultural traditions, the Mari is being revived across Wales as an act of linguistic-cultural defiance. She's a symbol of Welsh language culture, specifically; an icon to remind that we are a distinct people, with our own culture and traditions, and in spite of everyone and everything, we're still here. Separating her from that by removing the Welsh is, to put it mildly, wildly disrespectful.

...but it IS what I'm increasingly seeing, both online and in real world Mari Lwyd festivals. She's gained enormous pop-culture popularity in recent years, which is fantastic; but she's also been reduced from the tradition to just an aesthetic now.

So many people are talking/drawing about her as though she's a cryptid or a mythological figure, rather than the folk practice of shoving a skull on a stick and pretending to be a naughty horse for cheese and drunken larks. And I get it! It's an intriguing visual! Some of the artwork is great! But this is not what she is. She's not a Krampus equivalent for your Dark Christmas aesthetic.

I see people writing their own version of the pwnco (though never called the pwnco; almost always called some variant on 'Mari Lwyd rap battle'), and as fun as these are, they are never even written in the meter and poetic rules of Cân y Fari, much less in Welsh, and they never conclude with the promise to behave before letting the Mari into the house. The pwnco is the central part to the tradition; this is the Welsh language part, the bit that's important and matters.

Mari Lwyd festivals are increasingly just English wassail festivals with a Mari or two present. The Swansea one last weekend didn't even include a Mari trying to break into a building (insert Shrek meme); there was no pwnco at all. Even in the Chepstow ones, they didn't do actual Cân y Fari; just a couple of recited verses. Instead, the Maris are just an aesthetic, a way to make it look a bit more Welsh, without having to commit to the unfashionable inconvenience of actually including Welsh.

And I don't really know what the answers are to these. I can tell you what I'd like - I'd like art to include the Welsh somewhere, maybe incorporating the first line of Cân y Fari like this one did, to keep it connected to the actual Welsh tradition (or other Welsh, if other phrases are preferred). I'd like people who want to write their version of the pwnco to respect the actual tradition of it by using Cân y Fari's meter and rhyme scheme, finishing with the promise to behave, and actually calling it the pwnco rather than a rap battle (and preferably in Welsh, though I do understand that's not always possible lol). I'd like to see the festivals actually observe the tradition, and include a link on the booking website to an audio clip of Cân y Fari and the words to the first verse, so attendees who want to can learn it ahead of time. I don't know how feasible any of that is, of course! But that's what I'd like to see.

I don't know. This is rambly. But it's something I've been thinking about - and increasingly nettled by - for a while. There's was something so affirming and wonderful at first about seeing the Mari's climb into international recognition, but it's very much turned to dismay by now, because she's important to my endangered culture and yet that's the part that everyone apparently wants to drop for being too awkward and ruining the aesthetic. It's very frustrating.

november 5th, 2024

we are so back, it feels great to get back to my blog. i have neglected this account for so long and plan to bring her back to life. i have yet to read my last post(s) made on this account and honestly im excited to. shit changes too often and too fast. the ebbs and flows of life or whatever they say. im hanging in there. im actually about to start a new work schedule which im very excited for because i will get 3 days off a week, and work 4, 10 hour shifts.

ahhhhh this is so exciting to be back and thrive with dumping my random shit here. it feels like an old time friend i haven’t talked to in forever. writing is a good friend. today is a crazy day considering it’s election day so im grounding myself with some blogging, journaling, painting, and cleaning! i got a doggy a little over a year ago. we just went for a walk and now we are gonna relax and soak up some time at home. its my last day off before i work my first 4, 10 hour shifts in a row. it will take some getting used to. i took this lovely picture on our walk earlier and its crazy that its a high of 80 degrees outside in november. i live in wv and the weather always fluctuates like crazy this time of year but we are having warm days here and there which is making it feel less and less like fall as time goes on. all of the leaves are almost completely gone and its 75 degrees right now. apparently winter here this year is supposed to suck so we shall see.

im still in the process of taking my halloween decorations down and putting my Christmas stuff up! we are starting early this year. i saw this post my sister shared it said “Christmas is a season, Thanksgiving is a day.” so totally true though, i feel that every year. it takes everything in me to not put my Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving and this year, i’n not waiting. its going up as soon as I run to my storage unit. which will be soon ;)

sending you my Christmas spirit

much love & thank you for reading,

“I’m not surprised Wesker was involved in that. Genetic mutation and experimentation were sort of his thing,” Ada mused. Her scowl never left her face. What they’d done to Matt was horrid. “Birkin was involved, too? Then it’s revenge for Sherry’s sake, too. Leon isn’t here, but I think he’d appreciate the notion.” Ada smiled a bit as she thought of the man she loved. Nemesis might not have crossed paths with Leon, but he was one of the kindest, bravest people she’d met since this apocalypse started. She wanted him to be with her right now, but work had kept him busy. “He wanted to be here, but… something came up. Maybe another time.”

Ada was talking about a nasty creature, but she left the details vague. She didn’t understand everything yet, and she didn’t want to mess up what she said to Nemesis. Ada offered the file to him. They’d gotten off to a rocky start, and he didn’t trust her entirely yet. She couldn’t say she blamed him for that. Still, she knew what it was like to be shackled and underestimated, and she’d do her best to keep him out of Umbrella’s clutches.

“I’m Ada. Ada Wong. I’ve been called the bitch in the red dress before. I also hate it.” She smiled. “Friends. Works for me. Read the file, then we’ll talk, but… genetic mutation. What exactly did they do to you? My belief is that they’re trying to replicate it. There’s a facility in Russia. There are clones there… you connect the dots. Combine that with Wesker’s obsession with mutation, and it begins to look like a setup. He wants us to go there right now. We’re going to make a few detours.”

__________

Nemesis didn’t know anyone named Leon, but if she was against Umbrella now, and he was with her, then he must not be a bad guy, right? He wasn’t sure he liked the sound of something coming up, though. Hopefully the guy was still alive, because usually whenever something came up involving the Umbrella Corporation, there were a lot of senseless casualties. He wished Leon well. Hopefully he knows how to handle himself in crazy situations. He’s gonna probably need it, Nemesis thought.

Ada Wong... Didn’t ring a bell, but... bitch in a red dress? Nemesis winced, not that his butchered face really reflection his disdain all that well. “That’s really rude... and ni-so-gyn-is-tic. I’n sor-ry,” he said. As a human being, he’d advocated for the environment and animal rights, but being a feminist hadn’t been far behind. “Nice to neet you, A-da.”

Okay, good. She wanted to be friends and work together on this. It didn’t erase all his distrust of her just yet, but it was a good starting point. He’d been about to delve into the file she’d given him when she asked him about what had been done to him. He sighed. “I was in-thech-ted... dur-ing the Hithe In-ci-dent. A crea-ture... scratched ne.” He touched his upper left arm to show her where. “Dut in-stead oth get-ting sick... and dy-ing... the thi-rus nu-ta-ted-ne. In the la-do-ra-to-ry... they en-cour-aged it... to go cra-zy.” He touched his stitched up eye. “They in-tlan-ted... a re-ti-nal... de-thice... so they could is-sue or-ders... to ne... as well as... sche-na-tics and other in-thor-na-tion. I heard then talk-ing... a-round ne. They wan-ted... to create... suter sol-diers. Ex-ten-da-dle tanks.”

He’d tried his best to explain with his limited ability to speak. If she’d understood even half of it, she’d get the gist. The idea of someone wanting to continue research into not only carriers of the virus like him, people who bond with the virus on a cellular level, but of creating super soldiers with the results, made his mutated stomach turn over. He growled slightly at the thought, his mangled upper lip wrinkling upwards into an angry sneer. “Sounds like... he needs his ass kicked,” Nemesis said. “O-kay. Let ne read this thirst,” he added, opening the file she’d handed him.

“ Who do you relate to?” They had asked. I looked over to them to see them looking back at me curiously. “maybe Icarus? You always did like art depictions of him; making aesthetic little things about him. Though, you aren’t really one to strive for the top. You’re always so… accepting of where you are.” they explained their thoughts, looking off to the side as they did. they had never liked looking at people’s faces as they talked. It was ‘too bring’ they said. I let out a chuckle at their analysis, “ You have no idea how right you were to name him.” They tilted their head at me to explain. “I really do see myself in him. Striving too hard to do something just to get hurt by it.” I explained the simple part.

“Is that all there is to it?” they asked.

“No, not quite.” i shook my head

taking in a deep breath I sighed, “ I do too much, y’know? I try too hard to do things for the right reason. I listen too much, I ask questions I don’t need to, I act too accommodating, and I pay attention too often to others. I strive too hard to be a good person. I do all that I can to be the person that I needed, that I want to have in my life, but it hurts. It hurts to be a good person. I get given these wings to fly and I do,but each time I soar I always have someone in my arms, raising them towards the sun they wished to reach. No one asks me to do this, and no one has taken advantage of it, I just don’t know how to give less of myself. And of course, the wings melt and I fall, burnt out and too tired to catch myself I hit the ground. But the others, they land amongst the stars. They continue to stay in the sky - not even noticing my crumpled form on the ground. No one ever picks me up like I pick up others.” I looked to the ground, a bittersweet smile on my lips. “I can’t even save myself without saving other people.”

i looked back up at them, worrying for a moment that I was being too much again. “even in my darkest moments, I continued on for the sake of other people. I stayed here for the ones I care about, I improved myself for their sake, I became someone i needed for them.” tears began to fall from my eyes. “I can’t even save myself without sacrificing something for someone else’s sake. I don’t know how else to do it - how do I help without sacrifice? because the wax is burning my back and I don’t know how many more times I can fall before i’m too broken to get up and repair my was wings alone for the next time I take someone higher. And don’t get me wrong, im not trying to be selfish. I understand everyone has their own problems and it’s not their responsibility to carry mine. But why am I alone? Why am i the only one i’n my life who helps others? Cant someone else do the same thing I do and at least be there for me while I repair myself? Maybe occasionally hand me a tool or remind me to take a break. Just .. do something.” I lowered my head onto the table. “I’m sorry..” they said, voice tense with sadness. I look up at the them, a tear stained face looking back at me.

“I wish I could help you.” They looked so sad.

“I know you do.” I looked the same way.

“ You cant help yourself but to want to.” I smile softly at them before laying the mirror down.

It took a long time to learn everything I know now, and I’n definitely not saying that I know everything there is to know, or perhaps even enough... Perhaps I don’t know what I don’t know, and I need to find out what it is, so I can learn, so if anyone would like to get in contact, or teach me something more advanced, you are more than welcome to. I’ve also spent some time on Social Media, putting myself out there; but it turns out I’m more confused now than I was before I ventured the Social Media Route. 

I know that there’s alot scammers (now more than ever), especially from Nigeria, but it seemed like I didn’t get much attention other than from those scammers. To me, now, it’s kinda sad (with a smile).

But it’s the way it is (I guess)

My husband gets daily hack attacks on his websites, each more than 200 per day. But that is how webnet Incorporated started.

In the meanwhile, inbetween all my attempts to generate additional income, my husband fully supported me, but I didn’t succeed. I managed to land extremely difficult client though - the LMS - it’s really not a walk in the park - even if I set it up from scratch myself (I think), because there were few times I just got stuck; linking the courses, setting up the payment gateway, linking the courses with the payment gateway, setting up correct categories (bearing in mind that I didn’t have a teacher (or tutor), but my husband just knew... I’m so grateful for him. We worked together on that and made it a success. So we decided together that merging our businesses is a good idea; and we got another business on board. It’s sad that there are so many website design companies out there, either asking exorbitant prices for services that’s not that difficult, or, designers that, just messes around. From the beginning, we decided that we would never extort anyone, but that honest, reliable, ethical work, is what we stand by; and I have to admit that working with my husband, is beneficial. There is so much I can learn from him, and so much he helps me with.

Men just have a technical knowledge (many) women doni’t have. I’m sure that there are many women out there that are better mechanics / technicians / or whatever... than lots of men, but I sure am not one of them. I enjoy art, design, poetry, flowers and beautiful things, and shopping, and sales and good food, but I would say that I am extremely good at coding, connecting data, etc.

It’s not my strong(est) points. You’ll read more of my poetry in the coming blogs...

I wrote a poem for my mother on her birthday (yesterday), but she’s passed away in 2013 already. It was extremely tough road that I had to walk to get where I am today... To me, personally... I just did what I had to, to survive, and not have my child taken away from me (which made me strong), but numerous people now, say I’m very strong. I sure wasn’t before my parents passed away. Also, bearing in mind that I have the tendancy to be very strong-willed and stubborn. It paid off, but I had alot to learn... In the mean while here’s my mom... Whom I will love forever... untill we meet again

[that-cheer-up-anon]

My parents birthday dinner is on rn and some family members are here, and some of my mum’s friends invited themselves over.

My headache from yesterday switched sides, and I’m just really not feeling like being around others, even though my big bro and big sis traveled for ages to get here.

I guess I’ll get up for the food, bc sitting in my bed in a dark room isn’t really doing anything for me.

Talking Ships: Caitlyn/Vi (Piltover’s Finest)

This is my take on the Caitlyn/Vi relationship based on the first 2 Acts (of course Act 3 might completely throw out my perception of them, but this is how I feel in regards to them at the moment). 

Caitlyn and Vi feel like a labor of love from the writers’ side and that is always a nice thing. Both are really likable charismatic characters and their rapport is enjoyable. I actually like that they took their time with them and it took a while for them to meet up. 

I’n definitely not blind to some of their epic setups (like Caitlyn trading her fun to save VI or the whole Silence of the Lambs setup of their first meeting). 

I do have one criticism though and that imo the way they are written feels very “fanfic-y” which is both a good and a bad thing. It’s “Opposites attract”, “undercover in a bordello” and “hurt/comfort” smashed together and speedrun-ed through. 

Which in itself isn’t a problem, but for me the downside in their particular execution of that concept is that to me... the story makes more sense from Caitlyn’s POV than from VI’s (and even Caitlyn’s has a few problems). 

Let’s talk Caitlyn

Like, it’s a realy cool story from Caitlyn’s POV, about this girl who walks into the dark lair and meets this alluring and dangerous seeming stranger and gets taken on a exciting ride through a fantastic location and wins the strange beast over with the goodness of her heart. Also there is snark and teasing and rapport. Cool story, A+

However, my first mini quibble with this is, okay so Caitlyn is supposed to be a cop right? Even if we assume that her parents’ protectiveness kept her from doing a lot of patrols in the undercity and in bordellos, I have some qualms about Caitlyn releasing Vi ... apparently just to see what happens? There is no attempt to cuff her. There is no attempt to extract a promise from her. Even if the characterization for this part of the story tells us that Caitlyn apparently is supposed to be empathetic and that she reaches out to people (like hugging the Shimmer addict), this still felt a bit wobbly to me. 

It’s not that bad, I can definitely make up my own headcanon to make it fit better (mostly around how Caitlyn is really upset by injustice and that is triggered by not only finding out that Vi gets beaten regularly but also that Marcus most certainly did some bullshit to get Vi stuck there). 

Let’s talk Vi

Now there is Vi. Vi is awesome. However... I can’t shake the impression that the way she acts doesn’t make a ton of sense for her character at that point of the story. I get that Vi is supposed to be this larger than life badass, but still. 

Before being sent to prison Vi was still a kid. She spent years being locked away with no contact to anybody from her loved ones. By the supplementary files she spent most of her time in solitary confinement (a form of torture). We know she got into fights and was beaten by the guards to the extent that even she is scared of them (even though she would likely still mouth off to them). 

So I’m stuck wondering... where exactly did Vi get her game from? 

Because the the way the story is told, Vi either: 

A.) Had her sexual experiences years ago while underage  B.) Or with fellow prison inmates  C.) Or with prison staff (=inherently exploitative relationship)

There is of course the chance that Vi is bullshitting and actually doesn’t have that much experience, she is just putting up a front. But it still seems a bit off to me that she is so quippy and jokey, considering her circumstances. 

(I think I’ll headcanon that in prison maybe Vi had a relationship with some kind prison nurse(s) to make the characterization fit better in my head, but point still being, to me it feels like there is stuff missing for it to make completely sense) 

For the record, my personal head canon is that during the bordello scene, Vi wasn’t in love with Cait yet, that she was trying to confuse and distract Cait so she could get the info from the Madame alone, so she could decide what to do with the information, alone at first (of course once she made her decision, she decided to bring Cait for backup). IMO actual falling emotionally took place later when she experiences Cait’s kindness. 

Overall

I like both characters individually, I think they are nice people who deserve happiness, and I think their personalities match in a way that I could easily picture them having a healthy and successful relationship in the future. 

I like some of their scenes, I have some minor quibbles with the writing that keep me personally from going full on crazy over them, but I completely understand why the quibbles I have won’t bother the majority of fans. 

Generally when I look at a ship I ask myself the following questions: 

1.) Do they/did they fuck? Well in Acane canon they just met, but in League canon I would say definite yes. [I guess my corollary is “Do I think they are exclusive with each other?” and this is probably where I would diverge from the shippers, because my answer would be “not immediately, but eventually” (I mean, Vi just got released from prison, let the girl date for a while!)

2.) Do I think they could be happy together, longterm? Again the answer here is also a firm yes, it’s pretty obvious that they have found a way of living and working together that works for both of them. 

Final Grade: B+ (I like them a lot)

Disclaimer: these are my feelings as of the end of Act 2 of Arcane, my rating might go up or down drastically based on what happens in Act 3.

Hey there! ❤️ First of all, I’n in LOVE with your works, like literally. They are all so beautiful.

I wanted to request HCs for Dazai and Kunikida who have a chubby fem!s/o and they comfort her for her insecurities <3 (If you’re uncomfortable with this, it’s totally OK 💕)

❥ Dazai and Kunikida with an insecure chubby!s/o

ᴀ/ɴ: heyo, sweetie! Its an honor to know that you like my work, dear; thank you a lot and i hope you enjoy this as well 💕 my apologizes that it’s late, and sorry guys for being inactive lately, hopefully this makes up for it 💘

DAZAI OSAMU:

The great dazai osamu has canonically said that he loves all women so rejoice cuties

It doesn’t matter what size, color or anything; he will love you with all his heart <3

Now he tries his best to make sure you know d a m n well that he loves you and that your appearance is beautiful to him

“Belladonna, you are an absolute gorgeous angel (spawn of satan if you are a trouble maker you disobedient human) and you have to know that I wholeheartedly adore and cherish; you are beautiful inside out!”

He will kiss literally all over your body and mutter compliments after each kiss

“You are gorgeous.”

“Beautiful.”

“Mesmerizing.”

“Absolutely breathtaking.”

“These parts of yourself that you see as flaws are treasures to me.”

Dazai will not hesitate to write a diss track to a bitch for your sake

So when this one dumbass from many dumbasses comes up and body-shames you

Dazai is already throwing roasts and comebacks that brought the person to t e a r s

“You remind me of my trauma and it isn’t pretty so if you could please, take yourself out of the door the way my childhood innocence once did that would be delightful.”

“Osamu are you okay?—“

“Yes, my love.”

Okay on a more serious note

He will glare at them and like go with the usual approach with them that consists of that suspicious cheerful attitude of his then proceed to give him a piece of his mind

You know, Dazai will never ask you to change

He will support you no matter what

So like let’s say you are on a diet, and you are determined to lose weight

He will be there to support you and cheer you up

“GOOD JOB MY LOVE! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!”

But will still remind you that you don’t need to if you don’t want to

He will get worried sometimes if your weight affects your health negatively

Though, you know your body more than he could, right?

He will always hype you regardless of anything

Also he loves cuddling with you and like nuzzling to you and never letting go

WAIT OH YEAH

If he ever catches you judging yourself in the mirror then he will either just hug you from behind and pepper your neck with kisses with many lines reassurance in between

Or he will throw the mirror out of the window

Yeah, there is no in between

SHIT

IT HIT CHUUYA ON THE HEAD

KUNIKIDA DOPPO:

KUNIKIDA MY UNDERRATED MAN 🥺

Btw I started playing Tears of Themis

That game is wonderful and the men are immaculate

Anyways

I think Kunikida would love a chubby lover

Don’t ask why

it’s just a feeling

I am really suffering from the worst writer’s block right now 🤡

Anyways headcanon that he is mostly oblivious to hints of how to be r o m a n t i c

So I don’t think cuddling is quite often, though I believe that he loves hugs like ALOT

Cause like they give this wonderful sense of comfort and reassurance, especially when it comes from you

He does occasionally remind you when he notices you staring too long into the mirror with a pretty gloomy expression that you are perfect to him and that he won’t change a thing about you

Doesn’t break anything though (￣▽￣;)

“You are perfect to me, I never thought of you as something less than that.”

I believe that kunikida is quiet the gentle lover despite what he does to um

That thing head first in the trash that atsushi calls his mentor

To support my claim, I can see him just stroking your hair and rubbing your back comfortingly as he assures you how much he loves you for yourself as a person

Now, let’s say there is an obnoxious excuse of a human that dares to say something negative about your body

Kunikida’s glare is scary

To be honest, I don’t think anyone would like to be on the receiving end

And so, in addition to that glare of his, he will insult them respectfully

Like the following:

“With all due respect, I don’t think you are in a place to talk; in addition, she is a wonderful looking person and at least doesn’t reek of filth and alcohol.”

wItH aLl DuE rEsPeCt

So ye

Most of the time, his aura is quite intimidating so the majority of people avoid insulting him or who he companies

Once again, if he also sees that your weight is affecting your health and damaging it, then he will cautiously bring up the topic

He doesn’t want to hurt you but he doesn’t want to see you struggle with anything

If you feel comfortable with how you are then he won’t talk about it anymore

Kunikida will still be by your side and support you through whatever choice you choose

He will hype you very very v e r y

✨𝑆𝑈𝐵𝑇𝐿𝑌✨

“You look great today.”

“The outfit compliments your body well.”

“It suits you, so don’t fret about it; I would never lie to you.”

He empathizes with how you feel, and is always by your side to reassure you; he knows how the mind can be a nightmare for its owner

THEREFORE HE IS ALWAYS THERE AND IF YOU ever EVER THINK HE WILL LET YOU FORGET HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU THEN YOU ARE WRONG

sorry I got carried away

also guess who managed to spill hot coffee on her hands

Me 😌

ANYWAYS BYE

Hi! First of all, I love your writings 😍 I’m a big Zoro fan so I was wondering if you could write me a headcanon for Zoro x female reader (who is also one of the straw hats). About a ‘not yet in a relationship, but secretly liking each other’ Maybe about seeing each other naked by accident? Or something else that’s fluff and/or NSFW. I’n not sure if I’m doing this right though 🙈 I’m kinda new to Tumblr so I’m still figuring everything out haha. I’m sorry if this is not how requests work 😳 Let me know if did this wrong. Thank you anyway ❤️

Here is little scenario for you, I enjoyed this one and thank you for the kind words <3 Zoro x Fem!reader N/SFW - but not super spicy just some nakey bits.

Knocking on doors was a foreign concept to Zoro, no matter how many times some members of the crew would try and get him to be more careful what rooms he barged into. This sadly also included the locking doors behind him, even the bathroom. And it was exactly those reasons why you were naked and heading around the corner to enjoy a hot steamy bath and bumped into the naked swordsman.

You bumped into Zoro and bounced back, the floor slippy due to him already having made the room damp, you yelped from the shock and how you were about to slip over, he reached out and grabbed your arm. The sound that left your mouth from the almost accident and seeing the man you'd become close to ass naked was an ugly sound. His arm was still around you, keeping you balanced. He was holding your naked body while naked himself. It took so much willpower not to sneak a look down past his chest. You coughed and pushed his chest with your hands moving away. "Z-zoro why didn't you lock the door?" You snapped and turned away from him, scrabbling to find a clean towel to cover your chest, unaware of how he looked over your backside a nod of approval. "Thought everyone was in bed" You guessed that was a good enough answer... but it didn't help the blush across your face. You pulled a towel to you, closing it over your chest but still feeling naked. "Nice tits by the way" If you hadn't been red before it was that comment that caused you to steam up. "T-thanks"

"Look, we've just seen each other ass naked, want to just bath together? I just finished running one for myself.." Zoro offered you, still stood there, everything hanging out, no shame, but the most handsome thing about him right now was that smirk and raised eyebrow.

"Well... I guess it would save water..."
