#MY ENGLISH IS FAILING ME

[byfulcrums]

That joke about MK not having read JTTW annoys me because not only it makes no sense considering what we've established of him as a character, but the guy also literally drew a Monkey King biography, or whatever those things were called. There's no way he didn't know about the waterfall

Fish talk.

Price likes rainbow trout that he cooked himself in garlic and butter in a ration tin over an open fire. Nothin better than trout you caught, gutted and cooked yourself on the river bank. Bonus points for a bottle of something cold and hoppy to go along with it while he eats it on the river bank, still wearing his wellies and waders.

For Nik, it's calamari and grilled sea bass with a glass of white wine, maybe a sauvignon blanc from France, in some swanky hotel on the Adriatic coast. Just sitting there in beige chinos, an open shirt and bare feet, skin still warm from where he was basking in the sun all day, not even checking the bill before he pays for it.

Fish recipes by the one and only, now visualised (somewhat) hehe

Recorder Scandal in my room

We three — Bubbles, Blossom and I (wow so original Kanya) were roommates. We were literally ‘the girl gang’, we were so well bonded together. I still miss that girl gang feeling. One day, an argument broke between the Bubbles & Blossom. By the end of the evening, they had sorted it out and everything was fine yeah?

Bubbles told us she is gonna go out. And while going, she left her spare phone in the room with the recorder on to see what we would do and talk in her absence 😀

And like she predicted, Blossom opened up to me about how she felt about the whole fight that happened in the morning and that she thought the apology wasn’t genuine. Then she added how she dislikes the way Bubbles talks with her mother in a very demeaning and disrespectful manner and how controlling and orthodox her family is (she mentioned they are going to get Bubbles married in 3rd or 4th year of med school)

And I hummed in agreement BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED. Although it wasn’t of any my business, as a friend, I really wanted Bubbles to talk respectfully with her mother. Irdc about their dynamics but ordering and demeaning her mom to not wear a dress but to wear a fully covered saree and a ghungat in 2023 was concerning to me 😭

Yeah so I agreered and the conversation ended there. Bubbles came back relatively early. Picked up the spare phone and started listening the recording. Wrote a long ass message to both of us saying how she hates us and nada nada and started weeping.

Now truly speaking, meri fatt ke 4 ho gai. As a girl, realising you were fucking recorded in your own fucking room is scary as hell. I called my mom, she was speechless. She told me to sort things out and get better of it. I did that. Despite not even being 10% as wrong as anyone involved, I tried to apologise and make the matter better but nah. She and her family started abusing Me and Blossom

So I was like, okay bitch. You wanna do it the dirty way. Next day, we called the hostel authorities and I told Bubbles that I will sue her for a breach of Privacy in a foreign country and get the passport detained 😊

Now what do you think was the reaction? Bubbles said her family has political influence (meri wapas fatt gai bhai) and her brother threatened to behead me with a sword. I was like HUH⁉️ She also got a few of my super seniors to wrongly accuse me of something I didn’t do.

Enter my bf with an even bigger political influence (what the actual fuck?) 😙 Told me to threaten them back with his name and made the super seniors apologise to me (i love life)

So yeah, this is how it ended. We changed rooms and my petty ass told the entire college about how Bubbles put a recorder in the room so nobody talks to them really. My head is fine, nobody tried to behead it (for now).

Do you think Lighter will be jealous if his s/o is cooler/more popular than him?????

if you mean by jealous that other people are looking at his s/o, then yes 1000%. i believe in jealous lighter and will continue to do so but i do think he sort of like it cuz then he doesn’t have to do all of the talking and everyone focuses on his s/o instead. the only time he does want eyes on him is when he’s fighting, but more specifically just his s/o’s eyes and he just wants to look cool to them at least.

if you mean he’d be jealous of his s/o, then i don’t think so. he doesn’t strike me as the type of person to actually want to be better than others, maybe he did in his past (according to him) but definitely not now ig. he takes up all of these challenges more for fun and practice, and to keep up the name of the sons of calydon.

with that said though, i do enjoy thinking of lighter getting jealous. esp with how the game has shown him being protective over proxy, he is really really soggy and i can see him wanting attention from an s/o that is popular. also just the cool for cool vibes of him and s/o is fun to think of, very intimidating in a good sense.

Zephyr down bad for Ifrit. What can I say. I love this pairing so much.

Zephyr is pretty sure Ifrit has no idea what he's doing to them.

Of course he doesn't.

It all started when Zephyr had meant to bend down from the chair they were sitting on to redo their shoelaces, only for their back to protest and force them to straighten up before they could. Without missing a beat, Ifrit then slid to his knees in front of Zephyr, propped their foot on his thigh, and dealt with the shoelaces.

Except the fire ghoul didn't pull away immediately after, no. He took the time to rest his cheek on Zephyr's knee, to look up at them softly with a smile so gentle it should have been entirely innocent but the sudden flames licking Zephyr's insides at the sight disagreed.

And now the air ghoul is cursed to notice everything Ifrit does that shouldn't be arousing, but is. Like immediately leaning into Zephyr's touch when they slip a finger under his chin to redirect his attention to whatever the air ghoul is telling him about.

Or constantly sitting lower than Zephyr, so Ifrit can rest just the way he did after doing their shoelaces - which seems to be his favorite way of spending time now, cheek smushed against the soft fabric of Zephyr's pants, absent-midedly drawing little hearts on them with the tip of his fingers.

Even when Zephyr thinks they're safe - nothing attractive about helping Ifrit shave the side of his hair he keeps shorter than the rest, right ? They somehow end up with Ifrit kneeling in front of them in the bathroom, his forehead now and then bumping against the air ghoul's tummy while they try to keep their hand steady ; Zephyr would hate to accidentally cut Ifrit's ear because they were too distracted by those eager orange eyes looking up at them with unashamed reverence. Zephyr damn near loses it when Ifrit starts kissing their belly as they inspect their work, hand reflexively tightening in the longer part of the fire ghoul's hair.

Instead of protesting, Ifrit simply let his head roll back, following the pull of Zephyr's clumsy, flustered hold. His eyes are half-lided now, though, mouth curved ever so slightly in the beginning of a smirk, and for the first time, it dawns on Zephyr that maybe Ifrit isn't as oblivious as they thought.

Something must have shown on their face, because Ifrit's almost-smile becomes a full one, and his hands find their way to Zephyr's waist, splaying there, pinky fingers slipping under the waistband of their pants.

"Come to bed ?" Ifrit mumbles against Zephyr's belly, eagernes betrayed by the sway of his tail.

A tempting offer, one that Zephyr feels powerless against.

The look in Ifrit's eyes is clear as day. Tonight, Zephyr is going to be worshiped.

i wonder if this is part of the "taking back what the internet took from them" thing they included in the TIT description. the simple act of sharing clothes. much like the "they're touching!!!11!1!" jokes i think they want to normalize this the same way. after 15 years together i think they deserve it <3

You know, the technique of Minato the Hiraishin. There are several variations of this technique, but the one that strikes me the most is when during the fourth war, Genma, Raido and Iwashi teleport Mei Terumi and tell she ‘We can use the Fourth's technique, we just need to do it in a group’ Do you think Minato himself taught them this technique in person?I've always liked to think that they received the title of ‘hokage guards’ because Minato trained them for some time. I'd love to know what you think - your illustrations are great!

Hi!! Thank you, glad you hear you like my drawings!! 💖

Well, the last time I read the war arc was ten years ago with the weekly releases, so my memory is a bit fuzzy (not a fan of the arc so I prefer to delete it from my mental headcanons lol), but I think I remember what you’re talking about! Haha, this is a fun ask, let me ramble about that.

Okay, so… we have three guys around Kakashi’s age (in fact, if I remember correctly Genma is Gai’s teammate), but nowhere near Kakashi’s level. Three guys who were around 13-14 years old when Minato rose to power, and who were, at best, newly jounin or even chunin (again, Kakashi was promoted to jounin at 12 and that was an extraordinary ocurrence. And we can agree that these three don’t have Kakashi’s talent).

And you’re telling me that these three kids were the "Hokage Guard Platoon", in charge of protecting the legendary Yellow Flash himself? Yeah Kishi, no way xD

Since you asked for my thoughts, here’s my headcanon: I think that it was peacetime (so things were more or less chill), these kids probably admired the Yellow Flash and now the Fourth Hokage (maybe they were even his fanboys) and Minato thought it would be funny to keep then around as the “Hokage guards.”

And if Minato is going to keep them around, they need a way to get away fast. Because Minato is not a team player, he is a one-man team: he is very fast, strikes even faster and has the Hiraishin to get away quickly if shit hits the fan. He doesn’t need three kids around in the case someone decides to attempt an attack on his person because they will be more of a hindrance than a help (plus, he already lost two kids when he wasn’t around to watch their backs, he doesn’t need another three dead ones).

So, what can he do to solve this? Easy, teach them the Hiraishin! But the Hiraishin is not that easy to learn, you need the power and the skill, and although these three looked like they had the skill (performing a jutsu with other people as a team has to be much more difficult than doing it yourself alone) they lacked the raw chakra needed to power up the technique, so he modified it for them to use as a team.

TL;DR: Minato thought it was hilarious to have three kids trailing behind him like ducklings and taught them the Hiraishin not to protect him, but to protect themselves and get away while he kicked some ass. They're more like Minato's second genin team than a guard, imo.

I'm worried

Hi, I'm Gabe, I'm 19, and I live in the U.S.

I am a trans man. This is something that has been apparent to me for years now, and something I have suspected (or, in a way, hoped for) for most of my life. I have always felt a joy in aligning myself with the masculine as opposed to the feminine. There are countless personal experiences I could point to in order to show you how I know I'm trans. If you're curious, I could do that. But, for what I aim to say here, I don't think that is necessary. What's important to know is that I like living as a man, being seen as a man, and it burdens me with a deep discomfort and practical disgust to be perceived as anything but.

I've made a sort of peace with my body. My face isn't something I'd consider to be pretty and I keep my hair short. Baggy clothes cover my chest and the rest of my body well. Most days, no one has any idea that I'm trans and simply see me as some boy picking up a gallon of milk. I'm happy that that's the case; I know many others aren't as lucky. I still have my share of reservations about my body, though. I am perfectly fine with being short (to the extent that I even celebrate it), but my chest, my hips, and my thighs bring me dysphoria. (Genitals are a different story that I'd rather not get into on the internet with strangers.) These parts of me are usually easy to ignore, but when I focus on them for too long, sadness overtakes me. I don't want to look like this. I want to be flat, boxy, small. The image of myself in my head doesn't align with what I see in the mirror, and it drags me down.

Another part of me says that cisgender men can have bodies like this, too, and that I shouldn't feel like any less of a man because of it. A third part says that curvy and top-heavy trans men are still men all the same and that stressing over it won't bring any good. As much as it feels good to listen to these voices, I still long for my ideal body. I long because it's a personal desire of mine to look that way, plain and simple. I also long, however, to make day-to-day public life to go smoother. I want people to mistake me for a girl less and call me "sir" and "young man" more; I'd prefer my body to read as a more convenient physical shorthand for manhood.

So, for the sake of my comfort and continued enjoyment of my time on this earth, I'd like to change how my body looks. One way to achieve this would be through the use of testosterone, which, on top of rearranging the stores of fat in my body, would also provide me with the welcome bonus of increased facial and body hair. I am also very interested in receiving top surgery to make my chest more masculine. It lifts my mood just to think of what my body would be like after these treatments, even moreso to know that there is a real possibility that they could be done.

The current climate around trans topics worries me. All I want is to live comfortably, but discussions about criminalizing transness have me fearing the worst. I don't want to force anything onto anyone, to limit or in any way alter anyone's speech, insert myself someplace where I'm endangering others or putting them at a disadvantage, or publicly indulge in a fetish. I'm a simple man with simple desires of a flat chest and he/him pronouns, but there's an army formed against me and people with similar stories.

I'm an American. I believe in freedom. A deep respect for the freedom of speech is something my dad has instilled in me from a young age and that freedom is something I'm thankful for. I believe that if someone wants to say something, they should be able to, and that if someone wants to do something, given that it doesn't bring harm to anyone else (or their property, etc.), they should be able to do it.

There are gray areas that come with that idea, yes, but those are outside the scope of this discussion. What I want to address here are procedures that improve a person's quality of life, procedures like gender-affirming surgery. If this so-called "mutilation" is as bad as some would say, why are so many people happier for having undergone it? Should consenting adults really be kept from personal pursuits like top or bottom surgery? Cis people get cosmetic surgeries all the time, but I don't see the public uproar about those procedures being mutilation. I would also like to ask, what does it matter to you whether someone's genitals could cause or support a pregnancy? The decision to raise a child is a very personal one, and I don't think the general public's ideas need to hold much weight in a potential-parent-to-be's decision making process. If someone is okay with the fact that their body may not work as before and will have visible scars, I think they should be completely within their right to have a surgery or take hormones.

I'd like to revisit the topic of free speech. Someone speaking about their experiences and feelings in their body and about their gender should not be considered pornographic. The average conversation about trans people in no way serves to provide sexual stimulation. Topics regarding genitals and sex should not be confused with explicit content; sex ed is taught in schools, isn't it? Education on these topics is important for many reasons and can prevent unwanted, painful, and dangerous situations. Conversations about transness are simply a dialogue about people's experiences, often with the intention of educating their audience. Given that they aren't intended to get the audience off, they are not porn. People living their lives is not porn. Transness isn't porn.

It deeply concerns me to see people misconstruing what it means to be trans and trying to limits trans healthcare and voices. I have hope for the future, but recent discourse has buried that under a layer of anxieties.

I'm just a boy, sitting at his laptop, worrying about if he's going to have to live with B-cups for the next ten years of his life. Being vocal about issues like this is important. This is how change happens.

The conditions were just so that I decided it was about time I write this. This is my first time posting something like this, but I don't think it'll be my last. Let's keep this conversation going, and let's make this country and this world a place we're happy to call home.

Idk if they did something like this at your show, but since u said dnp taught you english I wanted to pass this on: at my show tonight Phil mixed up a few words during the opening and Dan was like (paraphrased from memory) "English Language degree, everybody. oh people tell us 'Dan and Phil taught me English!' Really?!?!?!"

LMAOOO i don't remember something like this???? it was probably improvisation 😭 MAYBE that's why i have very questionable english dan, did you think about that 😭😭 also love how this is a common enough statement that they can make fun of it, i didn't realize so many of us had the same english teachers... thank you for telling me, this was so funny to hear !!! <3

Ok I love the idea of Nm wanting to dress up Ink in the classic Medieval European fit but hear me out- maybe they have a compromise and Inks wears something based on Medieval Japanese nobility (which he may be more familiar with)

Im so hearing you out im hearing you out hmmmm I can def see it, especially since Ink already wears something similar to a samurai's clothing...!!!! Nm would still like him to wear some moon symbols somewhere I think.......
