Hello do you still take requests for Bsd?

If you do would you mind writing one for either Poe, Fyodor, Ang, Kunikida or Akutagawa.

It can be a oneshots or headcannons I don't mind and yandere if you care comfortable with that.

Thanks for your time and no pressure with this!

hi!! sorry, but i don't do yandere content, but i'll gladly do some headcanons! you didn't specify what type of headcanons, so ill just do general relationship headcanons ^.^

☆Poe! he's an absolute sweetheart

☆will definitely buy you anything you want, he just wants his s/o to be happy

☆i can see him not exactly being a fan of pda, like, he wont stop you from holding his hand or giving him a kiss, but he will become incredibly flustered

☆in the beginning of your relationship, you will definitely see Karl dragging Poe towards you since he wouldn't stop mumbling about you and it was annoying Karl

☆you are Karl's parent now, and he claims your lap as a great napping place

☆speaking of naps, please make this man get some sleep, he overworks himself too much

☆doesn't care if he's the big spoon or little spoon, he just enjoys cuddling

☆fyodor. this man is mysterious to everyone, you are no exception

☆dont get me wrong, if you somehow end up in a relationship with him, you will know/understand him more than anyone else, but he still keeps some secrets from you. he is a terrorist after all

☆this seemingly emotionless man does have a soft spot for you tho, but its still probably not best to surprise him with hugs and such

☆its been stated in canon that he will gift a whole nation to the one he loves, so expect him to spoil you.. in his own way

☆doesn't like pda, but he does like when you hold his hand when your scared. its probably his ego tho

☆will let you cling to him in private, if thats the type of person you are. his only rule is that he can still do his work

☆good luck getting this man to be anything but a big spoon

☆another man who has a 'secret' soft spot for you

☆please drag this man away from his work. it may be very important work, but his health is even more important -and your need for affection-

☆another man who doesn't like pda, he wants to be professional in public

☆i can see him being an absolute sucker for kisses tho, you could probably kiss your way into getting him to do anything you want

☆probably won't tell you about his past, but you do eventually notice that he visits a cemetery pretty often. its probably not best to ask him, its still an open wound for him

☆very worried about your safety, could probably get a bit possessive without realizing it, but he just wants his s/o to be safe

☆hmm.. i see him as mostly being a big spoon, with the occasional small spoon when he's really stressed

(im so sorry if this doesnt fit him, his character is hard to read)

☆who doesn't love blondies

☆woo boy, i see him as having mixed feelings about pda. as long as it doesn't mess up his schedule, i cant see him having a problem with it

☆he actually doesn't scold you that often. he knows he can be a bit scary when he scolds certain people *cough cough Dazai cough cough* the only time he really scolds you is if you do something that severally hurts you

☆big cuddlier, but will only be the big spoon, he'll use some excuse like 'i need to protect you in case something happens' but in reality, he doesn't know how he'll react if he's the little spoon, mans not used to being cared for

☆will wake you up at 5am if it means keeping his schedule right. will buy you ice cream (or any treat of your liking) if you bother him enough as an apology tho

☆also, kind of a dumbass when it comes to feelings, you will have to confess to him first. he'll eventually get the hang of it

☆pretty boy

☆you somehow ended up in a relationship with an emo cat??

☆please give this boy time to warm up to this, he doesn't know how to handle it

☆you're one of the first people to find out about his illness (Gin was the first), he doesn't want you to worry about his coughing. it doesn't help, you end up worrying more

☆shy. but not in the 'uwu im so shy' way.. more like 'idfk what to do shy' he probably freezes up a lot

☆you will have to initiate everything. i promise that he does actually try, he's just so nervous that he's going to mess something up and you'll hate him bc of it

☆please reassure this boy, he is full of insecurities.

☆honestly, small spoon. he absolute adores the feeling of being held, its probably one of the only times he fully relaxes.

☆god forbid if someone ever hurts you, he will hunt them down. please scold him (lightly) when he comes home covered in blood, that shit is not easy to get out of clothing

hope you enjoy this! <3 please feel free to request more

i really have to know it do you have any thoughts about characters' voices? what do you think they sound like? (maybe similar to some actor, musician, etc)

I mean they ofc already have canon voices, but for the purpose of casting new ones, I have proposed:

Bela – Matilda De Angelis

Cass – Taylor Momsen

Daniela – Jessie Mei Li

Angie – if you could combine Maya Hawke and Evanna Lynch into a single person, that voice

Donna – Ruth Negga

Alcina – Gwendoline Christie

Miranda – Claudia Black

Karl – David Harbour or Michael Wincott

Finch has given their stamp of approval, and Cinder has given their stamp of approval for Donna and Miranda but cast Doubt on Alcina. Hard to compete with the OG on that one ig 😬

The result of this is that I now want Bela and Cass to be the lead singers in a band together 😐 Dani can play the drums and Angie the triangle

So ayun na nga, sobrang busy and pagod ako lately kaya di ko na din nakwento yung takbo ko sa Asics Rock n Roll Running Series Manila last Sunday, pero ang wild ng experience na yun hahaha. I planned and started training more than 2 months before that event but a lot of things happened — I got sidelined for two weeks due to flu, then got busy with job hunting, then later on with taking care of my requirements, and in between all that I was also still managing reservations at our vacation place and helping out with my siblings’ respective businesses.

Anyway, by the time November rolled around I still had very little practice, and the fact that I planned my training around “long, easy runs” didn’t help me develop the strength and speed I needed to smash this run.

The event was scheduled in the wee hours of Sunday— gun start for my distance was at 2:00 AM. The least I could do was adjust my sleeping hours and make sure that I was getting enough sleep, but my sleeping schedule was shit that week. I had to wake up at 2:00 AM on Wednesday to accompany my sister Kat with her deliveries, then ganun ulit nung Sabado.

Bilang may guests kami nung Sabado, di na ako nakatulog ulit pagkauwi namin. Ang plano ko sana matutulog ako sa hapon then gigising ng alas diyes ng gabi pero di na ako nakatulog kasi busy sa pag-assist sa guests and pagtulong kay Kat magluto ng mga order ng guests. Alas otso na kami natapos magluto, and by that time pagod na kami pareho.

Ang usapan namin ipagda-drive ako ni Karl kaso nagkataon birthday ng girlfriend nya nung Sabado and late na sya nakauwi so ayoko na magpa-drive sa kanya at baka antukin sa daan. Ganun din si Kat alam kong pagod din yun bilang magkasama kami mula madaling araw. Napagdesisyunan kong magbyahe na lang bilang alam ko naman na may mga bus pa din na bumibyahe pa-Manila kahit late na. Sabi ko basta makarating ako ng Pala-pala kasi halos lahat ng bumabyaheng bus tumitigil dun. Eh di nung may dumaan na jeep na Pala-pala sumakay agad ako kaso putek di pa nakakalayo yung jeep biglang may lumampas na bus na pa-Manila. Sayaaaaang.

Tapos tangina yung driver ng jeep lahat na lang ng kanto tinigilan. Pagdating sa Silang Bayan tumambay pa sa antayan para magkape at magyosi. Mag-aalas dose na nakarating sa Pala-pala yung jeep tapos wala na yung mga bus. By 12:20 AM nawalan na ako ng pag-asa and thought I would miss the event for sure, I was literally wiping away tears of disappointment in the middle of the empty road, patawid na ako para umuwi when I saw a taxi approaching. Nabuhayan ako ng loob, pinara ko pero di ako tinigilan, buti naka-stop yung traffic light sa intersection so hinabol ko yung taxi hahaha. Pero di pa dun natatapos ang pagsubok ko, supposedly 1 hr lang byahe pag ganung oras pero pagdating sa may Imus sobrang traffic, yun pala may road closure kasi inaayos yung kalsada. Ni-redirect kami na bumalik and sa looban dumaan kaya lang naipit din kami dun bilang makitid yung daan and lahat ng sasakyan dun pinadaan. Pumihit ulit yung driver tapos sa Salitran - Daang Hari na sya dumaan then ang labas eh sa Bacoor. Ang ending past 2:00 AM na ako nakarating sa venue, nag-start ako exactly 2:20 AM. Buti na lang 2:30 ang cut off sa starting line.

Despite my lack of sleep and the stress of almost missing the event, I was still able to manage my run splendidly — I recorded a negative split and finished race in less than 2 and a half hours. I couldn’t help but feel emotional when I reached the finish line.

I lingered in the venue for a bit then got my stuff sa baggage counter at bumyahe na agad pauwi — may order na breakfast yung guests namin so I needed to help in the kitchen, then pagka-check out nila may guests ulit sa gabi bilang long weekend so kailangan ko ulit maglinis hahaha tangina kuracha yan?

At dahil dyan buong week na yata akong nagbabawi ng tulog at pahinga, I’m still doing chores and running errands here and there but during my down time nakahiga lang ako either natutulog or nanonood ng The Big Bang Theory. And to that I say, “dasurv.”

[sansculottides]

Filipino workers have been familiar with Karl Marx since the 1900s. Marx's portrait is published in the Labor Day issue of the newspaper Balagtas, a working class newspaper of the Philippine labor movement at the time. This newspaper was also the organ publication of the Balangay ng mga Tipografo, Litografo, at Encuadernador, a labor organization consisting of print shop unions, established by print workers in 1904. The president of this organization, and the editor of Balagtas, was Hermenegildo Cruz (known to his friends as Bindoy), a labor leader from the proletarian class, and true organic intellectual. The slogan of Balagtas and the Balangay was translated from a line by Marx in the General Rules of the International Workingmen's Association: "The emancipation of the working class shall be conquered by the workers themselves." ("Ang katubusan ng mga manggagawa ay na sa manggagawa rin.")

Happy birthday Marxy!

---

Kilala na ng mga manggagawang Pilipino si Karl Marx noong taong 1900s pa. Nakalimbag ang litrato ni Marx sa Mayo Uno isyu ng diario Balagtas, isang publikasyon ng uring manggagawa at ng kilusang paggawa noong panahon na iyon. Itong diario rin ang organ publication ng Balangay ng mga Tipografo, Litografo, at Encuadernador na isang labor organization ng mga unyon ng mga imprenta, tinayo noong 1904. Ang pangulo nitong organisasyon, at ang tagapatnugot din ng Balagtas, ay si Hermenegildo Cruz (kilala sa mga kaibigan niya bilang Bindoy), isang lider-manggagawa, galing sa uring proletaryo, at tunay na organic intelektwal. Ang slogan ng Balagtas at ng Balangay ay salin sa isang linya ni Marx, galing sa General Rules of the International Workingmen's Association: "Ang katubusan ng mga manggagawa ay na sa manggagawa rin."

Happy bertdei Marxy!

A peaceful evening. I'm currently working in my table, and he's just playing quietly beside me... Then suddenly..

Zaki: Mama pag nag away tayo dapat sorry ka sakin tapos sorry din ako sayo ha.

Me: Ofcourse naman kuya.

Zaki: I love you, mama.

Me: Love you too kuya..

Zaki: Will you marry me, mama? *Sabay lumuhod at abot ng singsing na binorrow nya sa tito karl nya.*

Gulat talaga ako. Hahaha! Syempre told him yes! And then explained to him na someday pag grow up nya ang tatanungin nya ng will you marry me is yung magiging wife nya. Sobrang lumambot lang puso ko ng sinagot nya ko ng "like mama kathlyne!" ❤️

Hay kuya.. Busog na busog ang mama sa love mo. Thankyou for showering me with so much love.. Dalhin mo sana hanggang sa paglaki yung mga gentle life lessons ng mama sayo. Dalhin mo sana hanggang sa paglaki ang napakabuti mong puso ngayon.. Medyo harsh ang mundo, naway hindi ka madala at manaig lang ang pagmamahal sa puso mo..

Your forever,

Mama Kathlyne...

It's angsty hours there's only fluff if you squint (angst angst angst angst angs-)

Anyways it's your Karlnap prompt, one out of two that I stole

TW for starvation, mentions of blood and injury, depressing thoughts again, swearing

—–—

This bean was interesting to Karl.

Never caring about much, aside from his friends on his glowing box he called a ‘f-own?’ He needed to figure out what that was.

The bean was always gone for quite a long time too, which was both good and bad for the tiny. It meant he could Wander around without being caught, but also meant he needed to borrow a lot more food when the bean was around.

He couldn’t risk going without food, he once thought he could handle it for even a day, but had nearly fainted when he went to get food.

But Karl also really wanted to meet the bean. Something about this human really intrigued him. Made him excited, gave him new feelings.

Maybe he would trust the bean enough to meet him in person one day.

~~~~~~

Karl peeked out from behind the ‘tell-e-vision’. Sapnap shouldn’t be around, right? The bean hadn’t made noise in a while-

Nope.

He immediately ducked back behind, and into cover after he met the gaze of Sapnap, who was kneeling right in front of the box doing whatever beans do with their strange magic.

That was bad.

“Uh…Hello?” The bean called, voice filled with appeal. Karl needed to breathe, he needed to breathe-

“G**, I’m going crazy, aren’t I…” The bean murmured.

Now could be his chance. He could go for it, introduce himself maybe.

No time like the present.

He creeped back around, once again meeting the gaze of the human. “What the f***...?” He asked, making Karl tremble as he got closer. Too close.

He could feel the bean’s breaths against his face and ruffling his hair. Every ounce of courage he had was blown away by the exhalation of the bean.

“What are you…?” Sapnap asked. “A…borrower…” Karl steeled himself. Be strong, be strong.

“Okay then…” Karl didn’t know what emotion crossed the bean’s face, but he couldn’t care. He was full of excitement which clouded his mind from thinking rationally.

“I-I’m Karl.” The borrower muttered slowly, lost deep in the human’s eyes. “Karl? I’m Sapnap.” He nodded, staring intently at the bean.

He smiled. “It’s nice to finally meet you!” He cheered, his smile widening once Sapnap smiled back. “Do you want me to take you to the kitchen?”

That sentence should’ve rang some bells or raised flags or whatever those beans say, but Karl didn’t seem to care, nodding happily, excitement clouding his mind.

Sapnap smiled, and held out his hand, to which Karl took it as an open invitation to climb on. The process of standing on a bean’s hand was unfamiliar and weird. He wobbled up on the uneven and squishy surface, letting the finger’s curl around him not so delicately.

The bean started walking into the kitchen.

How did the bean know he lived in the kitchen?!

He gasped as he fell with a thud on a cold surface, arms slamming harshly against invisible barriers as he tried aimlessly to grab onto something, anything to keep himself from falling, to no avail.

Something loud and obnoxious made an almost crunching sound above him as another invisible thing was pulled over the top.

He clambered away quickly as a long, sharp object penetrated the invisible ceiling, all the way down to the bottom. It poked his leg just barely, but enough to draw blood.

He had nothing on him.

He couldn’t bandage himself.

He couldn’t escape.

What had he done.

Karl ripped part of his shirt, wrapping it around his leg, before standing up slowly and banging on the barrier separating the two.

He watched the bean grab his tiny magic box and tap a few things before holding it up to his ear and walking outside. What could he do?!

He slid down onto the bottom surface, curling up against it. He let tears escape his eyes as his memories made themselves known.

Strangely, there wasn’t much. He couldn't remember his family, his old home, anything belonging to his past life. Just him, Sapnap, and his new home.

He looked up just in time to see the door open, and Sapnap entered, holding a strange thing in his hands. It had a massive black brick on the end of a long stick. The bean was also still talking to the magic box as he walked towards the borrower.

In pure fear, Karl’s eyes widened as he pressed up frantically against the cool surface behind him, watching the bean raise this strange thing.

And swing it down right into his home.

He cried.

One of the only things he could remember was gone. Just like that. Destroyed by his own stupidity. G**, he was so stupid.

Sapnap-no, the bean, picked up his jar and shoved it inside a cabinet, leaving Karl to pick himself apart from the inside.

Wonderful.

~~~~~~~

Karl gasped as the cabinet opened again. It felt like an eternity since he had been put in this purgatory. He stared directly into the bean’s eyes, knocking pathetically against the barrier. His leg stung with every movement he made, and his body ached from not eating or drinking anything.

“Hey! Please let me out!” He shouted, but the bean swiftly turned away, focusing more on whatever his previous intentions were. The cabinet shut not long after, and he was left alone in the darkness.

He cried silent tears. Stupid, naive, an absolute idiot, everything. He was a horrible borrower, and he hated knowing that wherever and whoever his parents were may have been counting on him to continue to live, only for him to end up in this terrible position.

No, don’t think that way!

It’s true.

It’s not, you can do this Karl!

You can’t. You were stupid. And now you’re stuck.

He was stuck.

~~~~~~

Another eternity passed, and the cupboard opened again. He blinked viciously, the lights being too much. He let himself fall on the barrier in front, staring once again into the eyes of the bean.

He looked sad, almost mournful.

Karl knocked pathetically against whatever was keeping him inside. He couldn’t even feel the pain from his leg, let alone feel his limb. Just about anytime he moved, it felt like his insides were literally eating themselves. He hadn’t eaten for a while, and he really didn’t know how much longer he could live like this.

The bean turned away, closing the cupboard again.

This was it. He was finished.

~~~~~~~

“Look, Dream, I’m being serious. There was this weird f***ing thing in the house. H***, I’ve got it in the cabinet so you can see it later! You’ve got to believe me-” Sapnap interrupted himself by simply opening the doors of the cupboard, and seeing just what he’d done.

The human-like creature unconscious, laying on the glass of the jar, with labored breathing. No, no no!

“Sap? Are you there?” “One minute Dream I’ll call you back.” Sapnap rushed, hanging up and pulling the jar out and fast as he could without hurting the creature inside. Once he got a better look, he noticed they had a makeshift bandage? And only when he saw how dirty their makeshift bandage was, did he notice just how badly he’d messed up.

He hadn’t seen the borrower with a bandage when he met them.

He had hurt the borrower.

He had starved the borrower.

He’s nearly killed someone.

In a panic he pressed the call button for his friend Quackity, putting it on speaker as he ran to the fridge to get a small block of cheese.

“Hello?” “Q, I messed up, I f***ed up so f***ing badly.”

“What…? What did you do?!” “Have you heard of borrowers?”

“Yeah-yeah I have, Sap what the f*** did you do?!” “I-i may have locked one in a jar for a few days-”

“Sap! You-you can’t do that! Borrowers can’t go that long without food!” “I-I know that now… I can’t take care of them Q, I-I need you to do it…”

He heard Quackity sigh from the other end of the line. “Alright, bring them over. Anything I should know?” Sapnap carefully grabbed the jar, walking it outside and placing the cheese block inside.

“He said his name was Karl.”

“You… You two introduced yourselves and put him in a f***ing jar?! What, are you going to do that to all of your guests now?!”

Sapnap frowned. He already knew he f***ed up, but this made him feel worse. The call remained silent until Sapnap approached Quackity’s house. “I see you, don’t you f***ing dare step out of that f***ing car or so help me.”

Sapnap nodded, hanging up and rolling down the window. He held out the jar remorsefully to his friend, who took it carefully but glared at him.

He deserved it.

[nice2meetyouu]

I wonder if matitiis ko pa bang mag-training. 'Yung gusto kong pasukan ay 4-year program. If hindi ako natanggap sa current role, siguro mapipilitan akong mag-residency agad.

Sobrang hierarchical nito, kaya aliping alipin 'yung mga bagong pasok (well, depende sa institution, matino naman sa iba). Pag sila na 'yung seniors, pass the trauma na ang objective. Char! Hindi po sa lahat!!! Again, iba-iba per institution pero in general mas mahirap pa 'to kaysa med school.

Hindi ko alam kung nai-imagine ng iba pero dito, pag pinapagalitan ka ng mas mataas sa 'yo sa hierarchy, umaabot sa point na minumura ka nila, sinasabihang bobo, tanga, etc. and may cases din like pinaghuhugas ng plato or pinagka-car wash. If you want more horror stories, another doctor wrote this.

Originally, gusto kong matapos na before 30 years old kasi hindi ko alam if kaya pa ba ng katawan ko 'yung wasak na schedule pag pinatagal ko pa. Plus, the earlier na makapag-fellowship ka at maging consultant, edi mas mahaba 'yung panahon na (you wish) upgraded ang salary mo, assuming na makakapag-start ka ng practice and magaling kang mag-market or makakabili ka ng bonds sa hospital and okay ang lahat.

Interestingly, sa kabila nito, may mga doktor na nag-aaral pa ng law at nagiging lawyer kahit specialist na.

P.S. Si Doc Karl ay isa sa mga lecturer sa review center for PLE nitong October 2022. Nakita ko lang 'yung buong post sa facebook.

Herbes Folles, Hasard et Germes de Désir - Verrückte Kräuter, Zufall und die Keime der Lust: Lausanne (CH) vom 24.06. bis 22.07.2023

Gärten sind Orte voller Hoffnung und Versprechungen. Sie bieten ein Terrain, auf dem wir uns die Zukunft neu vorstellen und Lösungen entwickeln können. Sie spiegeln unsere Identitäten, Träume und Visionen wider und katalysieren unsere Affekte. Sie gehören zu den wenigen Orten, die eine subversive und fröhliche Anarchie, aber auch eine ausufernde und kreative Strenge ermöglichen. Mikiko Minewaki…

[Before the coronation of Charles III, let's talk about the history of monarchy in Frisland.

If asked, a Frislander would tell you that they never had a king. This is true in one sense but not in another. Frislanders have always chosen their rulers, but foreigners have sometimes disputed this.

Norsemen began arriving in Frisland in groups in the 9th century. After that, Norwegian and Danish kings used to say that Frisland belonged to them. But towns continued to elect their presidents and so royal power in Frisland was minimal. Perhaps sometimes people might have sworn an oath only, if asked.

In the 15th and 16th centuries things began to change. The Kalmar Union was losing its strength and Frislanders began moving away from the king. Sweden declared its independence in 1523, and the first President of All Frisland was elected that same year. But it was the turning of the Danes towards Luther that convinced the still Catholic Frislanders to go their own way.

There is also Ireland and England. Ireland is our sister nation. Irish missionaries gave us the Gospel and for hundreds of years Irish kings invited Frislandic mercenaries to fight on their behalf. And in return, during the English kings' takeover of Ireland, we welcomed Irish refugees, and indeed there are still Irish people in Frisland today. Many of these would return and fight for Irish freedom through to the 20th century.

Today at the embassy we wish King Charles III well. We have said these things so that all might understand and make progress together.]

I would watch this reboot.

Ideal Recasting: Benedict Cumberbatch as Harry, because he gives off “Guy who would totally cheat on his wife given the right set of circumstances” vibes. Kate Winslet as Karen, since I am a big fan of Ang Lee’s Sense and Sensibility, and Winslet played Thompson’s younger sister in that one. Natalie Dormer as Mia, because if anyone can woo a married man with just a well-placed smirk, it’s her. And Rowan Atkinson can reprise his role, and maybe make a cheeky comment about how this happens all the time.

Ideal Recasting: Helena Bonham Carter as Billie Mack — she’s edgy, and she’d make a convincing and electric Madonna/Cher-esque pop star who has run out of fucks to give. The Favourite’s Olivia Colman as her long-suffering manager Jo.

Ideal Recasting: Dev Patel as Karl and Dakota Johnson as Sarah. Karl needs to be gorgeous, so Dev Patel is a perfect choice. Sarah is one of two Americans in the entire cast, and Johnson really embodies the associated quirky, wholesome girl-next-door vibes.

Ideal Recasting: Emilia Clarke as Natalie — she also has a charming, round face and a gorgeous smile! Tom Hiddleston as the Prime Minister. If anyone can re-create Hugh Grant’s awkward charm in 2022 (besides Hugh Grant), it’s Hiddleston.
