talked Footie irl with this like. adorable asf guy in my class 2day.
i brought my panini book 2day to show to my friends later. i pulled it out in my class to just. look at it tbh i love adoring her in public (my panini stickerbook) and this guy just GASPS next to me and i look and he's like "omg you have it!! i have one!! i have the cards!!" and i push it towards him like go look my friend, go on and he starts asking me questions about the teams i rooted for and he was "ahhh i love brazil too, when they got eliminated i almost cried" and then asked me if i was a ronaldo fan and i was like "NO. NO." bc ???? Ewwww no. he also offered me a messi sticker but i politely declined bc i already had one but thats so ... 🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much man. he also liked and rooted for morocco, which we bonded over.
another ting. this was super cute. sadly no. 21 from mentioned here. we were looking at the brazil page and i was talking about how i finished the page last week and who my favs of them were n he just stops and looks at antony and says "i think he's very handsome. maybe it's bc he has the same name as me hahaha" and that made me laugh. i told him, to indulge him a little, that they looked alike so you're really complimenting urself n he got so happy from that, he smiled like i gave him a million dollars skdjsjjddjr and he laughed at my joke about richarlison pombo dance. i forgot the joke. but he found it rlly funny.
#i should also mention he was not a native speaker so his english was slipping a little bc he was so EXCITED#n his laugh is so sweet he seems like a nice person !!!! i will enjoy sitting with him#he is mexican n speaks spanish rlly Smooth too btw. he was translating to someone else n i was in a semi trance bc WOAHHH. u sound BEAUTIFUL#n his handwriting is nice#also this sounds like i have a crush. i do not. that was just the nicest interaction ive had all day n it stuck with me#hes a big messi FC guy and me as well. what a good guy with good taste. n i think hes very sweet#he told me to hang onto the book later in life so i could sell it when its like 2040 and be rich 😭😭😭 SJSJJDJDJD#rashfordian#sorry life story. happening. he was sooo sweet i rarely have positive interactions with men that leave me feeling nice so im just. Waaah

oh 'mone, you wanna sea me burn alrdy....
6. which ship fans are the most annoying?
this might be a bit biased or i may have been on the wrong corners of the internet, but after my several trips to 4chan, newgrounds and twitter(don't judge me, i was bored) i would have to say davejade, it's the first one that comes to mind, but then again, maybe it was the bad experiences from the awful sites i mentioned!
7. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
HEIGHTS. anyone that has been on this blog for long enough realizes how much of a sucker i am for height differences. of course headcanons are a thing, and i am totally ok with it! but i CANNOT, express how much i hate when people make Feferi or Aradia short. Like, have you SEEN their ancestors?! panels aren't the best source for this type of thing, since it's constantly shifting, but still, i will hold onto this opinion until i die. (psst, im a shortkat truther, how did you guess?)
21. part of canon you think is overhyped
fishsticks, i can't really think of anyfin! i'm still at that fandom stage where everyfin just seems great, so...... but if i really had to choose, i think i would say collide. don't get me wrong, the flash was pawsome! but it after that it was just.....disappointing. i was happy to see all of them happy, but it didn't really tie all the loose ends, y'know? maybe one die i will write a whole essay on things that were missing on that, but nows definitely not the time(and its 1 am as of writing this :P)
#im open for debate with ANYONE#idk how to debate but I AM#homestuck#ask#ask game#once again reminding you guys that im not native english speaker and if things sound confusing please say so i can clarify!!!!#btw to the anon that sent me that recent ask im finishing it soon!!

So originally I was like okay why did I get this book in the middle English bc this is only about 50% understandable. And then I started reading it out loud and oh I understand so much more. This does also mean my flatmates have quite possibly overheard me speaking this shit. And that's okay. Bc OURE HOOSTE
#im not very far in bc firstly im busy and secondly its a slow read#but its good i am enjoying and it has also inspired me to look up some older english stuff#its quite similar to both german and swedish which is good bc i know a tiny bit of german and im learning swedish#which is going weirdly well btw. wow who would have thought that regularly talking to a native speaker in the language helps you learn fast#anyway this post is about middle english not old or swedish or german#canterbury tales#geoffrey chaucer

Hello! I'm kind of warming up to the idea of writing something for the LADS fandom after a few months of contemplating... But I'd like your opinion on something... I've been asking around on how to write the pov.
Should I write in second person or third? I've seen a few works using second person, but I'm still a bit confused as to how to write.
I know everyone is different, but I have really bad performance anxiety and wanted "pro's" opinions🥲
Helloo darling!! I’m glad to hear an impending writer contributing content to the LAD fandom<3
I wouldn’t call myself a pro (tq for the thought though🫶🏼), but I can tell you this much, pros & cons of both second pov & third pov;
Second pov: ‘you, you’re, yourself’ (you’ll be actively referring to your readers without the pronounce as if you’re speaking to them)
Third pov: ‘she, he, they, them’ (you’ll be narrating ab your audience with chosen pronounce (male/fem/gn! Reader) as if you’re telling someone else about the story between Reader and character)
Writing in second person adds more space for your content to be gender neutral, reaching out to more people to read it that don’t prefer feminine or masculine terms/pronounces. You’ll get a wider range of readers, a bigger audience that can be exposed to your stuff.
There isn’t much cons for second person cause it gives you much more exposure to others. But pls make ur own preference a priority!! Try experimenting w second pov and if ur not satisfied w it, then switch to third pov w ur preferred pronounce and tag accordingly!! Make sure it satisfies yourself before thinking of others. Besides, im sure most us writers write for ourselves more than for others, so don’t be afraid w changing things up<33
Writing in third pov, for me, it’s much more satisfying, but im not used to it so that’s why i dont do it😭 but then again if you write in third person, you’ll have a targeted audience, something that’s not completely for everyone. Don’t think of this as a con immediately, the exposure depends on the algorithm and your mutuals as well as your tagging.
While I don’t write in third person, I always tag my fics as “fem!reader” even though I seldom use the she/her pronounce in my fics. Despite that, it greatly reduces my fears of getting complaints that i tagged my stuff wrongly because sometimes i do use those pronounces in my fics unknowingly.
While we’re talking ab writing, please don’t forget to interact with others!! No matter how small or big the other blogs around you are, don’t be afraid to interact and make friends/mutuals. Their reblogs will help w your exposure greatly! Adding a small “reblogs and comments will be greatly appreciated!!” somewhere within your works will also help!
I would be happy to help you if you’re not mutuals w me already!! if you are mutuals w me or following me at the moment, if ever find yourself comfortable enough to come off anon w me, go ahead and do so, lovely<33
#HELP THIS WAS SO LONG#I DIDNT THINK I WAS MAKING AN ESSAY DAMN#im not a native speaker btw#if some of my english terms r wrong forgive me my loves😭#im gonna like#edit this#incase i said smth wrong#cs i yapped too much#ᯓᡣ𐭩 asks: anon.ᐟ

#anon with the links from the other blog#listen ive been fighting the bullshit that person says for quite a lot of time#she lives in her zone and the way she replies to the asks in general is genuinely weird#this is the same person that believes h0livia was real bc of the tattoo btw#really her opinions don’t mean anything in the slightest#she and her two other blogs that usually reblog her stuff#live a completely different dimension that fandom does#and i think they like to play the woke people of the fandom#with all the political/social knowledge#but like that’s a lot of smoke and not chicken my friend#i have never in my life found myself agreeing with her#and im not surprised that her takes are actually quite disturbing now#also to be honest im not a English native speaker#so most the timr my reaction to those long ass posts is#‘okay what?!’ and it’s like a lot of words to say absolutely nothing lol#im sorry if i dont reply to your ask publicly#maybe I will when ill be ready to fight them#not there yet#not sure want they want to prove with that btw#these people must be very weird irl too

Me after being asked to make a choice: what the actual fuck. Why are you asking that of me. How can you think i have any capability of deciding such a thing myself. Do you understand the pressure you're putting unto me omfg. I just. I just cant it's too much for little me to handle. You choose. You just choose for me. I don't want to face this situation ever again god fuckin
Me after they pick the choice i like the least: oh um. Sure go off i guess. Yeah yeah i know i said i would let you choose but have you considered
Me after the choice they pick for me turns out to be the worst on the long run: i knew i should have just decided on the choice i liked the most instead of listening to you. I realize this is irrational but im just so fuckin stressed and mad at myself i might just burst into tears leave me alone
#decision making#rant post#just wanted to clarify im not actually this annoying in real life#this is what i sound like in my head whenever i face this situation tho#can you tell i hate making decisions and i just had to make one ugh im just really stressed#bad post#first post ok maybe ill post more but i dont expect anyone to read them#not native english speaker btw so forgive any mistakes#i also used hyperbole cause you know im just ranting#its for the sake of relatable comedy#but yeah im exaggerating dont take this literally two people who will actually see this possibly

#aw man#i needed to put 'english isnt my first language' in most of my previous socials#like is it hard for people to ask for clarifications nicely or maybe not be rude to random people on the internet#i get the being overly familiar to strangers part to the point of joking hostility bcs you get carried away sometimes#doesnt sound great in my ears but i Get it its fine#but its reasonable that i dont wanna be treated like im stupid for not understanding something the first time#no matter how common of an idiom it is#or if *i* use the wrong idiom#some people are literally so uncalled for#(not about anyone here nor johnmalevolent btw its a guy from another platform)#we've literally only talked three times (most of which were just me replying to their comments) and i dont like being called-#-stupid for not having the same knowledge native speakers do#so soz im soooo pissed off 😭#they didnt outright call me stupid but they did say 'how do you not know it. have some common sense'#which sounds p much the same to me#it was worse when i was 15. but still not a great thing to hear!

⁘ BOYNEXTDOOR in... where they like to kiss you!
fluff fluff fluff, ot6, a little headcannon to start this blog :D
a/n: little reminder: im not a native english speaker, so it will have some mistakes btw enjoy >.< !!
ೀ sungho ; your neck
he's always saying that you smell really good and that he likes your perfume, and in my head, at the same time that sungho can be a cutie, he can be a very good tease. then he will say "wow, what a good perfume" even though he knows that you haven't changed since the beginning of the relationship and he will come close to your neck and kiss there, he will smile at you with the greatest innocence.
ೀ riwoo ; your eyes
idk if you've ever received a kiss on the eye (obviously with it closed), but it's one of my favorites <3 i see it as an extremely affectionate kiss and for me it suits riwoo perfectly. you could be in a cuddle session and he would give you a peck on the eye and ask for one too ☝️🤓
ೀ jaehyun ; forehead
ok, listen to me, jaehyun is a guy in love, and he will treat you like a baby even because he feels the need to protect you from all the evil in the world. so just like he would kiss a vulnerable and cute baby, he kisses you on the forehead to show you that he loves you very much and that he is here for whatever you need >.<
ೀ taesan ; shoulders
this boy hates leaving your side, especially in crowded places, so it's natural for them to have their hands or arm on your shoulders, but these kisses are very intimate for him. it's something he already does automatically, whether in moments when you're cuddling or especially when he hugs you from behind and leaves a little kiss there.
ೀ leehan ; hands
he is a gentleman, and just like those princes we imagine when we are children, he will do gentlemanly things. he loves to kiss your hand, no matter where or in what situation, he will hold your hand when you are distracted and leave a kiss on each finger >.< he also loves playing with your hands when you're distracted and he's bored.
ೀ wonhak ; cheek
he's just a silly boy and loves, REALLY loves giving you kisses on the cheek. i think that because it's his first time dating, he'll be more accepting, very embarrassed or shy, and that makes him three times cuter. so instead of kissing your lips he will give you lots of kisses on your cheek, and if you complain that he has already given you enough kisses he will give you more

Hi! I read lots of your work and im SO IN LOVE!!! Like I absolutely fell so hard for papa simon 😭😭 i wanna give him a babyy! But i was wondering, how would pregnancy be like with his child. I mean bro is HUGE so his baby would probably be not only pretty big and probably weight a little bit more too than an average newborn. If its okay with you would it be possible for you to write a little story maybe add a little bit of angst? (Idk like argument about something that made the reader really sad?) but please a happy ending 🥹
Feel free to ignore if thats not your thing or just not feeling comfortable writing about it!! LOVE YOUU!! Btw sorry for any misspelling English is not my first language.
First of, as a not native English speaker, your English is perfect.
And second, thank you for your kind words, it really encourages me to keep writing and also boosts my ego 😁
You asked in such a nice and respectful way so I really want to make you happy.
Now here's the thing, I'm an adult with lots of responsibilities and sometimes adulting makes me tired, like last night when I was trying to finish this but I fell asleep and I woke up this morning to find half of my writing disappeared, it just vanished 🥲
But I'll give you this to munch on and I promise I'll finish this before the end of the week.
I hope this is what you were expecting... Enjoy 🫶
A little over 700 words.
_______________________
You stood in front of the sink of your bathroom, holding a pregnancy test on your shaky hands, two little red lines staring right back at you.
How did this happen? How would you tell him? He doesn't want kids, he made it clear from the beginning and you accepted it without a fuss, that's why you've been taking your pills diligently every day, you didn't forget one, did you?... No, you know you didn't, how did this happen?
"You okay there, love?" Simon knocks on the bathroom door and you jump in surprise, like a child that's been caught red handed.
"Y-yes Si, j-just give me a minute... I'll be right there." Your period is about three weeks late so you bought a pregnancy test, your best friends advice, it wouldn't hurt, it was just to make sure, you certainly were not expecting this.
You hid the test on the cabinet under the sink and washed your face before coming out.
It's been a week since your ob-gyn confirmed a six weeks pregnancy and you still haven't found the courage nor the right time to break the news to Simon, so when he gets a call from Price to get deployed on a long mission you fear it would be too late by the time he comes back.
One month at most he said when he kissed you goodbye almost two months ago, you are 16 weeks into your pregnancy and your bump is starting to show, which only adds to your anxiety, between the morning sickness and your hormones being all over the place you still haven't figured out how to tell him.
As you ponder how to break the news to him, you realize that a simple phone call wouldn't suffice. With him stationed on the other side of the globe, risking his life every day, you hesitate to burden him further. At the same time, you know it wouldn't be ideal for him to return home and suddenly find you waddling around with a baby bump.
So you stay quiet and whenever he calls and asks why you sound so exhausted you blame it on your job, you say you are just stressed out, and he promises he'll take care of you once he's back, he'll relieve you from the stress the way you like it, the way only he knows how to.
You are laying on the couch wearing Simon's t-shirt, stuffing yourself with your favorite ice cream and watching trash tv when you hear fumbling outside your front door before it swings open, a very rugged Simon stands in the threshold , you curse under your breath, he didn't say he was coming home the last time you talked on the phone three days ago so you stand there and look at him overly conscious of the bump hiding under his t-shir and you thank the heavens he is a big man, you think the loose fit of his T-shirt would buy you time, your ice cream long forgotten in the coffee table.
He walks towards you with long strides as he pulls his balaclava over his head running his fingers through his messy hair and you shy away, you step back and freeze, eyes wide like a deer caught in the headlights, he stops in his tracks and tilts her head, his eyebrows pinch as his eyes linger on your midsection and you know you're fucked, he noticed, how wouldn't he, and you hope and pray he'd say something, anything, but he doesn't, he turns on his heels ready to walk out.
"Simon wait!" You call for him and he stops, his hand lingers on the door knob, "I can explain, please just hear me out" your voice cracks and you wish you had been brave enough to tell him before, you know about his childhood and his trauma, you know his struggles and why he didn't want children in the first place, he trusted you and you broke his trust, you deceived him from the moment you found out you were pregnant and decided to keep it to yourself because you were too scared to trust him back.
"Explain what?" He shouts turning around and walking towards you again, your hands fly to your belly instinctively, protective. You lower your head, eyes glued to the floor, ashamed.

Im just popping in to say that I found this story only yesterday but am already soo deep into it. I really love the different origins and how it influences the story. Also you write it in such a funny way while not taking away from things that are more serious and I find your writing style generally very comfortable to read.
I also really like that there is an age-restriction for two characters. It is very uncommon in IF (which is fine) but I really, really like that we can flirt/romance them and they will let us down gently. I am a fan of age gap relationships but, personally, 18-20 is too young for a real age gap relationship in my opinion and I am just soo happy that here are adults who arent interested in such young people and will reject them. It also makes the story more realistic.
I am bad with words (especially in english) but I hope my meaning comes across.
Anyway, I hope you have a great new year and are healthy and happy :)
Thank you for the very nice message! I'm happy you like the game and that I could offer something you find unique and interesting ❤️
I was wondering a lot about how to do the age restrictions, but in the end, I was very much in favor of organic storytelling, so that's why I let you flirt with them in the beginning.
Like this, the characters will still acknowledge that you might be interested in them. They will have that conversation with your character in the game, in real time, instead of just suddenly being locked out completely without anyone ever mentioning it again.
That's why I don't give you specific warnings either during the age choice, because I wanted players to be able to figure out for themselves what happens later. For me, it feels a lot more natural this way, and you will still have plenty of time to start pursuing someone else.
Btw, don't worry about your English, it's really good. I'm not a native English speaker either, but you only get better by practicing :)))
Happy New Year, and have a good day! ✨
