#WHERE'S FELI THO

[alacants]

goodbye from spanish tennis (@rfetenis)

[floralcrematorium]

Merry Christmas!

I think Feli would adore those cringy JCPenny's awkward family photographs with the disembodied floating heads... I'm not sure exactly how he got Lovino on board, but hey, anything to make Nonno happy, right?

a secret santa present for failedomelette over on instagram

there'll be another on the way soon :)c

[felikatze]

okay if i play rejuv again do i a) finish all sidequests on my main playthrough, b) continue my bug mono run past terajuma island instead of waiting for v13.5 to do so, or c) continue the dogs only run that is only past goldenwood

[romatito]

welcome to my twisted mind, where the blorbos are in a theatre/musical troupe au and theyre putting on hadestown. i needed an excuse to put vino in a leading role, bc. unfortunately. feli would probably be considered more talented than him (even tho hes definitely good himself!!!)

tonio and lovino arent together yet but they are both crushing. emma knows and thoroughly enjoys seeing them both be dumb -- and watching the chaos of them being the leads in a romantic tragedy while they dance around each other...... literally AND figuratively. lmao

i have more of their embarrassing escapades in the think tank so this au will definitely reappear. and hopefully ill have settled on the rest of the cast soon 🫠🫠

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

8, 4, 12, 15, 20 and 22 for Mefistrap!!! >.<

4 - Favorite non-sexual activity?

I think they go on a lot of rooftop walks. They can have some truly alone time there, especially since with Feliks' shadowtraveling they can easily get to many more secluded spots and just chill, watch the city, talk or do the stuff that they feel too vulnerable/embarrassed to do where other cats can walk in on them (for Munk it's getting familiar with how magic feels, especially the mind control type and for Feliks it's learning some basic fighting/hunting skills he's never really had to learn cuz magic)

8 - Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?

I don't think they really use like nicknames besides just shortening each others names cuz both Munkustrap and Mefistofeliks are mouthfuls, so usually it's just Feliks and Munk. Feliks does use Munku too, and Munk will use Feli but only when they're alone cuz Feliks tolerates that one only from him. For emergencies/when they really need the other's attention they will use Straps and Mefisto (only a few cats call Munk Straps and only strangers call Feliks Mefisto)

Besides that they do use pet names, with Munk usually going for “love”, “angel” or “sweetheart”, while Feliks usually goes for “darling”, “handsome” or “skarbie” (which is basically “sweetheart”, literally means “treasure”)

12 - Who initiates kisses?

In public Feliks, when they're alone Munk. Munk doesn't mind kissing in public, he just feels a bit awkward about initiating it, while Feliks is a flirt and a show-off so he has no problem with doing that.

15 - Who wakes up first?

Munk, Feliks is not a morning person

20 - What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

I think on Munk's side everyone was a bit surprised at first cuz hey, a cat from a different tribe and a magical one at that, when Munk while still being friendly and kind kinda made a point of trying not to involve himself too much with magical cats. It quickly turned into a bit of exacerbation cuz despite Feliks openly flirting with him and rather obviously pining, and even few cats trying to help and tell Munk Feliks likes him, it took Munk a quite a bit to figure out his own feelings, get over the denial and all that jazz and finally admit he does like him more than a friend. When they finally got together, everyone was happy for them and also a bit happy they don't have to witness the pining anymore

On Feliks' side everyone was pretty excited, with a healthy dose of “good luck mate” at first cuz of the aforementioned long time it took them to get together, but they were also trying to be helpful, with Tam and Alonzo even working together a bit as Feliks' wingmen on few occasions. The most excited one was Fantazja tho, cuz she was friends with Munk before he and Feliks even met so she kinda had stakes on both sides

22 - Who cooks more/who is better at cooking?

I think that Munk would cook more often, but out of the two of them Feliks is a bit better at it. Munk is a decent cook, he has a few signature dishes he does really well and while he sometimes forgets about food or needing to eat, he likes to cook cuz usually he finds it calming.

On the other hand Feliks grew up with a chef and a restaurateur for a father so he got the skills and the know-how, he just doesn't enjoy the whole process as much as Munk does. All the peeling and cutting and waiting feels a bit tedious to him, especially when he's doing it alone. He does like to make more creative dishes sometimes, mostly cuz he likes showing off his skills. But what he really enjoys about cooking is the “spending time together” aspect of it, so quite often he's there when Munk cooks, either just keeping him company or helping a bit/cleaning

Hetalia Characters as Older Brothers

//I just kinda... picked my favs? I'm on a bit of a Hetalia revamp, revisiting my phase from three or four years ago lol. Also, just a warning, the fonts and colors switch up for every character and some of the colors/fonts may not be friendly to some people's eyes.

America

Honestly? Alfred seems like the type to try his damndest to be the cool, fun big brother to any younger siblings he might have. I mean, he was alone for most of his 'childhood' because Arthur didn't pay attention to him and when Arthur was paying attention to him, it was always to impose new rules and taxes and other such things. And he doesn't want to be like that with his sibling, so he definitely pays a lot of attention to his sibling (well... except for Mattie, but still) and try to do things that they like to do, let them do what they want, etc. It's cool, but it probably feels a bit desperate, like he's trying to relive his childhood through them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

England

Arthur's never really been a good sibling/parent/whatever the hell he was to Alfred. He's strict on manners and always wants his family to represent the best parts of himself/themself but also doesn't want to have to baby someone in order to raise them. He can be distant and arrogant, spending lots of time away from his sibling and making underhanded comments when he's with them. Now, if he truly cares about his sibling, he's a silent doter. He may leave new tea blends in his sibling's cabinet or new books he thinks they might like in their bookshelves. Perhaps he 'accidentally' leaves cozy sweaters and blankets at their house and conveniently 'forgets' to come and get them back. He'll also try to cook for them and then leave the cooking in their pantry or fridge, but at this point everyone knows not to eat his cooking, so... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Japan

Since Kiku's so reserved, he's kind of like Arthur in the fact that saying he loves his sibling verbally might actually cause him to have an aneurysm. He does love, or at least admire, his sibling to some extent and shows it in slightly opening up more to his sibling and doing acts of service. He might cook food for them if he notices that they can't cook or are in a mindset where cooking is too much. He might clean little parts of their house every time he's over until the entire house is spotless. He might gift them little trinkets that he notices that they like. Maybe he stocks up on their favorite snacks and drinks. He's a very observatory country and notices those types of things. And while he won't say it outright, his actions show that he loves you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Italy

I mean come on, we all knew how I was gonna start this... He's a clingy younger brother, that much we know. But... he's also a clingy older brother. He clings to his younger sibling, like, 24/7, always wanting to do everything with them. He doesn't like being alone. He was locked in a closet a lot when he was living with Austria and... while he had Hungary and HRE, he was still alone most of the time. It left scars on the way Feliciano acts in relationships with others, platonic or not. He clings and does a lot of acts of service and is constantly proclaiming his love for the ones close to him. He can clean and he can cook and he does those for his sibling almost every day. Pasta is a commonplace in the household, as is the sight of Feli in a pink apron with a rag tied around his head to hold his hair back with a broom in hand, cleaning the floors. All in all, he's a really good big brother, once you look past the clinginess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Germany

Strict. Ludwig is strict by nature. Though, if he has a younger sibling who is younger than him by a lot, he might be a bit more lenient. Still strict, though. Still makes his sibling get up and five am to go training with him and makes sure his sibling is getting the best education. Even though he seems overly strict and like he doesn't care, he just wants the best for his sibling (and for them to not turn out like Prussia). He's also a bit overprotective, though he tries to be subtle about it... and fails. If his sibling is going out by themself? No, they're not. They may think they are, but he either has someone following them or he's following them and playing it off like he was going somewhere nearby. He screens all their friends and coworkers to make sure they're safe for his sibling to be around and never brings it up, getting coworkers fired and pushing away friends who he thinks might be a bad influence on his sibling.

[morgenlich]

ig i should write out a more complete feliks timeline from the partitions until the 1990s lol, um. spoilers for last light and its planned sequel tho, also i'm writing this off the top of my head and not looking up specific dates so [gestures]

so, while in my hcs tolys got stuck w ivan full time (though he ran off more than a few times lol he was never successful in escape endeavors for very long), feliks was after the partitions initially shunted between gil and rod (ivan imo just. absolutely hates his guts and wanted nothing to do with him lmao and besides he had new full time prizes like tolys he didn't need to split custody of another one); he managed to run off for good shortly before the napoleonic wars started and met up with francis (this is also when i have him changing his name from mieczyslaw to feliks), fought alongside him for a bit, established the republic of warsaw, then basically sent himself into exile after its collapse because he felt that staying in his own land would be too risky; he didn't want to go back to being a hostage after all

(he does return for some later rebellions of course)

he's not really in the mood to deal with francis for a bit after that, he just strikes out on his own, not really paying much attention to where he goes. he ends up all over because of this, like he'll literally stow away on a ship he has no idea of the destination of so he sees not only a good bit of europe but also ends up in asia and i think also probably in the us, somewhat briefly, and he wants to avoid the attention of other nation reps so he doesn't actually meet up with any of them intentionally. he works a bunch of odd jobs during this time because he basically only owns the clothes on his back (and his wedding ring. he manages to keep hanging onto that), inlcuding some sw which he hates (i hc him as very firmly demisexual)

eventually in the 1870s-ish, he winds up in france again. he's living on the street and ends up with tuberculosis, which gets bad enough it actually kills him. when he revives from this, he realizes he's still ill and is going to need to like. properly recover, so he swallows his pride and goes to look for francis, who takes him in for a while; they end up staying in the south for a bit, i wrote a little fic about this a couple years ago lol. eventually though they get fed up with each other and feliks dips again, resumes wandering around but now he has fucked up lungs :) also it's around this time that he discovers opium which also becomes a lasting problem for him. but it helps his lungs not feel like they're constantly being stabbed so wcyd

he ends up in france again around the start of w/w1 and initially fights w the french but eventually makes his way east, finally back on his own land. the war ends, he's independent again, etc etc. 1918 is also the first time since the partitions that he's able to meet up with tolys again, imo--even in shared rebellions the two just never quite managed to be in the same place at the same time--though ofc this just ends up with tolys wanting nothing to do with him for a couple decades (i go. back and forth on what feliks himself actually thought about the war between them tbh)

ok here's where we get into last light + sequel spoilers

w/w2 starts, feliks initially fights in warsaw and is captured in late september. spends like a week or two in prison before gil arrives in warsaw and is put in charge of him, at which point he's put under house arrest. manages to keep his Connections to the resistance (how? idk it's not important and no it will not be explained in LL lmao), stays there until the spring of 1944 when [massive spoilers that otherwise don't involve feliks] and he's forced to go into hiding for a few months (along with my human oc irena kowalczykowa), until the AK fighting starts and then ofc he (and irena) is involved in that until he's captured again; the ak is able to get him back for a few minutes before some russian spies attack them and feliks and irena end up with them

at this point feliks is too exhausted and weak to really put up any resistance to this fact, and he just stays in russian custody, hiding in the mountains with some partisans until the spring of 45 when they make their way to krakow where ivan has temporarily set up camp; feliks continues to stay in russian custody from this point though like he's not officially a prisoner and they make him agree to cooperate so he does end up with like his own apartment and stuff. but he doesn't stay there very long because in 1948 ivan finally is allowed to return home and he's been told to bring all the other ussr and satellite reps with him so feliks gets dragged to moscow to live in an extremely overcrowded house until 1952.

after stalin dies policy toward the reps changes and the satellites are going to be allowed to return to their own land; feliks is the first to do so because as mentioned all the way at the beginning ivan just hates him and doesn't want to live with him at all lol so he ends up back in warsaw where he stays, remaining more or less cooperative (by his standards at least) until the ussr collapses.

he spent some time in the 90s trying to participate somewhat actively in his new government but realized that 1. he'd kind of gotten used to just doing his own thing 2. he's too vocally queer, etc, to get along with them, so nowadays he does the absolute bare minimum in this regard (mostly interacting w other reps for them) and spends his free time doing whatever he wants instead. also he lives in krakow, not warsaw, bc he likes krakow more (aside from like. in my heart feeling like he's a krakowiak, i think he just associates warsaw with war and the comm. regime and really wants very little to do with it) and hey he's not got v many gov't responsibilities so it doesn't matter lol

[dark-and-shadows]

I can't believe I've never posted this on here (tho tbf I don't usually post pics of me) but here's my Felis-form Nacht cosplay 😭✌ I've worn him to two cons now and both times have been the only BC cosplayer there, litterally where are yall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, he's my first ever cosplay so pls be nice but I like how it turned out, even if I can't see shit when I'm wearing it 😂

[theshadowsong]

My FFXIV OC's

Fine (Fiene) Shadowsong

Fine Shadowsong hails from the First. Elidibus took her before the Flood of Light and brought her into the ranks of the Ascians. Tho she is not patient enough to carry out complicated plans and confines herself to looking pretty and expressing herself more mysterious then she is. She cares deeply for Unukalhai and enjoys playing the ominous masked mage. After the Final Days, she is just happy not to have to worry about complicated plans anymore that she couldn't handle anyway. She dedicates herself to the new task of saving the 13th and recover the 1st.

Fae Tanyel

Fae lost her parents in the 7th Umbral Calamity. She herself almost died, but was saved by the one and only Nald'Thal. (Short Story about it here, she is still named Feli in the Story). She grew up with the Twelve at the Phantom Realm as well as with her uncle in Ul'dah, learning the teachings of the Thaumaturge and later traveling to Ishgard to become an Astrologian. She is a gentle soul who wants people to feel good. Though she is a bit socially awkward, having grown up with the gods and therefore not so good with normal people. She freed Alphinaud from the Crystal Braves as the Bloody Banquet takes place and led him through secret passages of the city.

Dianne Winterstar & Etar Vega

Dianne is descended of a former merchant family from Ala Mhigo. Her parents were murdered on a diplomatic mission in Garlemald, leaving Dianne on the streets. She did not speak a word for months. After escaping the capital of the Empire, she ended up in Ishgard, where she was able to isolate herself well from the rest of the world. By chance, she met X'rhun Tia, with whom she immediately got along well due to her origins. He showed her the teachings of red magic and pulled Dianne out of her hole. She now travels to unknown places and ruins to practice her mother's old profession as a cartographer, mapping the area. With her a certain Voidsent will not be far away...

...Etar Vega a Voidsent who was trapped on the Void Ark for centuries. After being freed after such a long time of slavery, he fled far away from the Ark to Coerthas. Due to the Dragonsong War he could do whatever he wanted there and no one noticed. He consumed any aether he could get, both from dragons and Ishgardians or other travelers who happened to be there. He didn't think much about what he was doing, for a long time Etar was just terribly angry at everything and everyone and much too hungry to think clearly. When one day he meets Dianne and had actually chosen her as his next victim. Then by a stupid mistake they were locked in an energy field on Azys Lla and Dianne offered him her aether, because she could not see him suffer. He was so surprised by this action that he decided not to kill her and stays with her since. (He might also have a crush)

((not really) poorly) explaining rhymix characters' backstories (part 2)

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

———

1. Snow

she was born with a mysterious immunity to snow. that's all i have for her lmao.

2. Miaya

created by amazing mighty around the time felys got kidnapped by a Mysterious Person™. mighty felt lonely and misses felys, and then ended up creating miaya to make him feel less lonely. ended up seeing her as his own kid which is nice :) miaya doesn't really see him as her own father by this point tho :( she also has dreams of meeting someone in the past........she just couldn't remember who it was.

3. Upshift

nothing too special about him. he's just some dj living life normally.

4. Lorn

i haven't come up with anything for her yet :/

5. Ray

was like ether strike back then—blinded by light. eventually cut herself off of it and swore to herself that she'll not be so naive and stubborn anymore. also met strike when he nearly died from being. you fucking guessed it. blinded by light. yippee

6. Lady

literally just axium's backstory but in her pov. she ends up really hating axium for dragging her into his stupid exhibition to the vicious labyrinth and just. Really wants to hurt someone and let out her frustrations on them.

7. Stasis

nothing much for him. before main story happened he tried saving his home nation from being colorless (not the character) forever with some others. that's all.

8. DRG

haven't come up with anything for her yet :(

9. Alxaid

he had some kind of illness where once he dies, everyone he has known will forget about him. he just disappears just like that. was friends with abstruse and hung out with him a lot. he even spent his final moments with abstruse :( by the time main story started he's already long gone :(( rip...........

(...but, would he ever come back? the dead can't go back to the living, you know. unless a case similar to lumine's were to happen—i'll stop now.)

10. Ionostream

a telegraphist (THAT'S NOT AN ACTUAL WORD????? OR DID I TYPED THAT WRONG-) from years ago who accidentally time traveled to the present day and now has to adjust to living in the current resonation (the rhymix nation based off of resonark i guess???). she's...trying her best lol.

11. Aleph-0

he was so fucking smart that he graduated high school early 💀💀💀💀 (probs before the second semester of his first school year there—he managed to meet mantis in that short time tho) he has really REALLY high curiosity with this thing called Temptation™ and then made it his life goal to hunt down its true meaning. he keeps getting himself in near death experiences in the process tho. so self sacrificial.....and all for knowledge too......

12. Mantis

is an assassin of sorts i guess. met larva, falls in love with her, but then got told that she was his next target, and then killed her (with a heavy heart). made a promise to himself to come find her again one day if she were to come back, and then years later reunites with her..........except it's not a her anymore it's a him now. hashtag sort of transgenderism??????????

13. Astra Walkthrough

idk yet.

14. World Fragments III

literally her name. in a sense she's sort of like primeval???? she's like. a result from a bunch of actual world fragments in rhymix put together to become one. lol.

15. Chronicle

idk yet either :/

16. Hikaru

he got a WHOLE ASS BACKSTORY POST ALL TO HIMSELF ON MY OLD ART BLOG AND I'M TOO LAZY TO LINK IT HERE BUT BASICALLY- was a famous idol who had loads of fans but had a really creepy stalker who went to the same school as him. initially she kept sending him letters with the sign off name being just "T", but then it gets worse and worse and eventually hikaru found out she was stalking him all this time. eventually gets murdered by her in some way and then becomes a god. WOO. THAT'S A LOT.

17. ultradiaxon-N3

was created by momento and arghena solely as compensation for the bullshit that happened during one of memoria's many april fools events. now is the nation's trustworthy AI :3 she would not steal art and writing btw

18. Hivemind

can't think of one for him yet ughhhhh

19. Hivemind Interlinked

an alternate version of hivemind who accidentally time traveled to the future. ends up just living through it normally lol. also ended up time travelling AND universe hopping to current day rhymix for one of memoria's april fools events (and accidentally meets his past self in the process).

20. Felys

was some kind of musician who's also really good with classical instruments like the violin and the piano. got really famous for that too. met mighty, fell in love with him, feelings got returned, and then bam they're lovers now. uhhhhh also got married to that fuckass god but then days later got kidnapped and locked up in some prison realm away from rhymix by an Unknown Person™.

21. Cybernetic Vampire

vampires in rhymix are rare. the few ones who were alive were then taken down (aka literally killed) by the humans to prevent anything bad happening to the humans. cybervamp is one of the last few vampires in rhymix and really does fear extinction :(

22. Chronomia

she's just a gal who likes clocks. she's fine.

23. Perfect

oh boy. honestly idk how to explain it in a post like this when i could just make a whole different post about it, but to sum it up quickly:

parents dead -> lives alone and overtime develops severe depression for a reason i haven't decided on yet -> got found by a group of people in her lowest moment -> got taken in by them -> eventually gets abused and changed in horrible ways possible to make her into a "perfect human being" -> gets traumatized -> eventually runs away with some other kids in the science lab place because she's experimented on in the same place as terabyte, satellite, and opia -> lives independently now

....ok moving on.

24. Destr0yer

explained in her introductory post, but basically she was the previous goddess of destruction before destonio came in and took that role. she had the same desires he did; destroy the world. got stopped by amazing mighty in the process and then got "fired from her job", as she likes to describe it LMAOOOOOOO

25. Credits

was basically unnoticed by the people around him for his whole life, got sick of that, and then took up the role of becoming a tv program host. his fame skyrocketed because he's just That good at this job and good looking. the fame got into his head tho, and then he suddenly became kinda greedy, eventually appearing in a lot more tv programs across different channels. capitalism sucks lol

ALRIGHT I'M DONE FOR NOW. SEE YOU ALL IN PART 3 LMAO

[alacants]

Heyyyy bestieeeee so you’re obviously the foremost expert on Spanish tennis and also obviously I trust your a/b/o opinions sooo for no particular reason (👀👀) can you share your thoughts on the Spanish men’s designations ??

(You may have already touched on this in which case I apologize for my lack of prior research lol)

😘, flyerskay

dying i tend to think of myself as "cockroach carrying the memories of a dead civilization" but much like juanki i am very susceptible to flattery AND i find the timing of this ask extremely intriguing. ^__^ so for No Particular Reason i hasten to share some thoughts. 

i've talked about my blorbo and his poor little meow-meow at uhhhh well at length. there are a few notes about other armadas in that post but i will take this opportunity to expand upon them. at even more length.

—assuming you meant Classic Spain. actually wait based on the mental rundown of present spain that i just did that's clearly a talking point—no alphas in the current lineup. which is obviously why they're not winning (eyeroll). whereas previously if anything they maybe had TOO many alphas around sometimes. sure, there was drama, but they won a bunch of davis cups! (rba could arguably be an alpha but i've immediately taken a shine to this angle so let's say he's not. pedro and pablo are absolutely not, marcel is not, and carlos is OF COURSE the most successful omega on tour post-roger. there are some stans on twitter who desperately want him to not be an omega to prove a point and get deep into web weaves about how he's clearly demonstrating alpha traits you can see it in his eyes but it's an ultra-niche minority of secondary gender essentialists, everyone else takes one look at the kid and is like "...lmao.") 

ok so classic armada thoughts, in decreasing order of normality:

marcel: on the fence between beta and omega. early marcel would have been, like, the ultimate haters' proof point that omegas can't take the pressure. otoh he is also such a good little team player… ok i'm thinking he's a beta and at first everyone's like, are you sure he's not an omega. but once he grows into his confidence he becomes a different kind of proof point, the one about how betas are inherently suited to doubles. (maybe not good for breaking stereotypes but good for his tennis career.) 

marc lopez my beloved: tiny alpha. marches to the beat of his own drum. shows up on his own time. makes his own decisions. lifts feli lopez to a roland garros title and rafa nadal to olympic gold. retires at his peak. tbh you could also make a very solid argument for beta, i'm a little bit on the fence. but i think in the end that accounts for the fractional differences that exist between him and ferru.

tommy robredo: beta by default. just. a nice guy! a solid player! a good doubles partner! people tend to overlook him a lot. and then he comes back from 2 sets down three matches in a row at roland garros, or calls out novak for (allegedly) faking injury, or beats roger federer in straight sets at the us open, and you're like wait. wait. where did that guy come from.

nico almagro: alpha who's not very good at it. WHICH is why he was tapped for davis cup final singles slot over feli lopez in 2012 and he flopped so bad and they lost. (sorry nico. he did flop tho. and then alex lost his job. which, fair enough.) (or, well, alex as dc captain probably wouldn't intentionally be like, hm i think an alpha is inherently a better choice than an omega, buuuuut he's a full tennis generation older, could easily have been subconscious conditioning. or fed pressure. or a mere coincidence that 95% of observers will see through the lens of a/o dynamics and consider sensible decision-making. 🙃)

rafa: ok i threw this out in my very first post and never really dug into it. but although i know omega rafa is a popular take, and i completely understand where it's coming from, i'm an alpha rafa truther. goes for what he wants, does things how he wants, does not care what you think. the entirety of manacor (if not mallorca) is his pack, and the duly elected local government is honestly kind of a little uncomfortable with this. also it makes his crush on carlos moya like. really cute. gangly teen alpha crushing on Big Cool Confident Nice Adult Alpha. then he meets roger and etc. be my mate join my pack. roger & mirka sending their kids to rafa nadal academy is going to be like THE ultimate affirmation hahaha.

fernando verdasco: alpha who thinks he's Hot Shit. he really thinks he and rafa are on the same level and they're scuffling over the same territory (davis cup team leader, spain #1 singles man). uh they are not. i never got around to making a felifer post so some background here is that for 2-3 years he was undisputedly spain's #2 singles man and i'm pretty sure he didn't think of himself as #2, if you know what i mean.* just had to delete two paragraphs about tennis because it's not relevant plus maybe someday i will make the post but suffice it to say that he did have a sharp peak around 2008-2010 and the verdasco aura was so pervasive that until i went to doublecheck my stats just now i was convinced he beat rafa in their 2009 ao sf. (he did not. but it did go to 5 sets over 5 hours.) however it turned out the peak was brief lmao. he and rafa clashed not only about tennis—fer was the one who got pretty outspoken after dc 09 about the rest of the team not getting enough credit—but also, well, ahaha. word on the street—and i do mean on the street, this was pretty well-known tennis insider gossip but not more than gossip—was that he and rafa were both into ana ivanovic. she went for fer and he and rafa were on noticeably bad terms all year lmfao.

*whether he WAS spain's #2 singles man for this entire time is also little bit up for debate. his peak partly overlapped with ferru's slump but not entirely. in this universe it's a definitely a reflection of, like, alpha discourse.

at the same time for the vast majority of this time they were definitely Friends and Bros. just... friends who fought sometimes. so. very much a two-alpha dynamic. 

(one HUNDRED percent the mere existence of omega feli makes the tension worse, like they are not fighting over him per se but the pack instincts are making things real weird. he's my friend. no he's my situationship.)

feli lopez: the most omega to ever omega. i understand that in light of latter day feli lopez, happy second marriage 40-something year old family man feli lopez, it's probably hard to envision this, but i cannot express the degree to which 2000s feli lopez was a walking talking bl manga character like. my god. incredibly touchy and unbelievably beautiful and prone to Dramatic Emotions that he blurted all over everyone at the drop of a hat. this is someone who gets soooo much validation through physical touch. and specifically through sex. feli has so many friends he's spent heats with and he loves them all so much. but the moment you bring Feelings into it things get real messy real fast.

(once again this is really material for a lore post and not an omegaverse casting post but my very favorite "oh my god you are SUCH A MESS" moment is the time in 2010 he got on twitter at midnight in miami to tweet through his breakup feelings in ENGLISH, including replying to everyone who replied to him. most of whom were—because it was midnight in miami—americans on livejournal. direct quote: "i have everything in my life besides love." anyway, it was just SO, like, Everyone Comfort Me. peak omega acting out.)

—brief digression about doubles. obviously the stereotype is that betas are best at doubles/the best doubles players are betas. they are for sure well-represented but whether that's due to innate aptitude or structural impacts, e.g. they are funneled in that direction early on, is an open question.

a doubles team that does not include any betas: lopez/verdasco, 2004-2011. there's been a lot of trope subversion so far. there is ZERO subversion here. lmao. alpha/omega, ad/deuce, top/bottom, in every way the ultimate encapsulation of the stereotype. so it's FUNNY that they spend the next FIFTEEN YEARS on and off and on and off and on and off and at one point it looks like they're both going to mate/settle down with other people only surprise that falls through too. like jesus christ things would have been so much easier if fer did just go for the mating bite yknow. (just to give you an idea: post the day before feli's first wedding, post FROM feli's first wedding, post from feli's retirement.)

(this is going to mean nothing to most non-spaniards reading this but look alba carrillo is absolutely an alpha. hahahdkfljalfjdkfld. feli really did fuck around and find out.) (ana boyer is a beta and in this au she is not quitting her lucrative international consulting job to be fer's on-tour caretaker.)

this is all classic stuff. if you're thinking about—again for no particular reason—people close to carlitos… off the top of my head, i'd say that at equelite toni = alpha, samuel = beta, juanjo = omega, alvaro = beta, pablo carreno = beta. based purely on Vibes.

and if i missed anyone feel free to ask. :D

Hi, it's Feli. Come and join me in many different adventures highlighting different scenarios, foods, and even culture in this blog. This blog is your gateway to the world of offbeat adventures and amazing horizons in the tourism industry. Here, we embark on a journey to explore the hidden gems, untrodden paths, and awe- inspiring destinations that will ignite your wanderlust and leave you craving for more. My mission is to inspire each and everyone of you to step outside your comfort zones and experience amazing adventures in life. WOAH is not just a blog; it's a community of passionate travellers, explorers, and dreamers.

In this article, I bring you to my personal favorite country. A country that has captured the world's attention with its remarkable achievements in various fields. The one and only, Singapore! In this blog, I will be talking about how Singapore truly is unique and a destination worthy when it comes to first time foreigners who are planning to travel outside their country. As a tourism student, I was looking for a country that focuses on its surroundings. Luckily, Singapore is one of those countries that is Clean and Green Environment. From my experience of staying in Singapore for a few days, I watched how people are well mannered and how they looked after it's environment to the point where you wouldn't even see trash anywhere. No wonder Singapore is renowed for it's cleanliness and green spaces. You can really see how they take care of their green environment from the pictures I have provided above. If you are into greenery and just nature itself, I can recommend you to go and explore Singapore's Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. Just keep in mind that they do change their theme every year and for the Flower Dome, they change the flower depending on the flower that is in season. Another reason why Singapore is destination worthy, is because of it's cultural diversity. No matter what you do, you maybe taking a scroll, buying snacks from a convenience store, or even dining in a restaurant, you will be seeing a lot of Arabs and Indians who are working. While visiting Singapore, I experienced and seen foreigners of different ethnicity like Chinese, Malay, Indian, and especially Western nationals who are businessmen in the country. They are so diverse where most of it's restaurants offer different cuisines from all over the world. A lot The last one is the safety and security. As a tourist, our top priority is out safety not just for ourselves but also those people we are with. I'm not gonna lie setting foot in an unknown country really is nerve wracking especially when it's your first time. However, upon researching, I found out that Singapore is a low crime rate country and this made me less worried. As far as my experience, I can truly say that you won't feel any danger whether you're taking a walk at night, or alone in the streets, the good thing about this is that sunset in Singapore is around 7pm- 8pm and the sunrise is around 8am. And even though it is beyond 8pm, you will never feel unsafe because the streets are filled with lights. My mom and I experienced getting lost around Singapore, we didn't have data since our sim card wasn't registered as an international sim card, and it was a bit of an hassle to wait for a taxi since Singapore is a rich country and people there has their own car. We had no choice but to ask the people and they were friendly. We ended up walking from Bugis Street to Clarke Quay for almost an hour.

So yeah, that is my experience as a first time traveller outside of my country. I can say that even though I haven't been to other countries before, each country has their own Pros and Cons, it's really up to the tourist on how they make the most out of it. A few tips for travelling in a country you're not familiar with is...

Number 1- Always do your research before making decisions

Number 2- If you are travelling alone, make sure your family/friends knows where you will be travelling and staying. And the most important tip is

Number 3- Make sure to always have fun

I encourage you to share your own adventures, tips, and recommendations. And if ever you want a part 2 of my Singapore experience, don't hesitate to reach out for any questions and feel free to share this with your friends and leave a comment or feedbacks.

Til' next time!

Xoxo, Feli❤️

Feli all this Chaos;Head posting is going to force me to push it up my game backlog out of sheer desire to understand what the heck is going on

you should read chaos head

it's the game ever

you need to find the sword. it will be your salvation.

(also then you get to understand what The Hand Scene is.)

tho ngl i do recommend it. yes i am currently in the Utter Slog that is getting the character chapters but the entire base story is fun. and tense. many moments where i just go Man Whadda Hell. Whadda Fuck. Bulnosaur.

the protagonist is a loser and awkward and a weirdo and he hallucinates constantly and is kind of a dick but only in the confines of his own mind. and i would not have it any other way

every single character is, canonically, some flavor of mentally broken. there are NO normal people involved here. this game is for the freaks fr. ultimate game where going "damn he's just like me fr" will make people concerned for your health

follow technically not a shut-in takumi nishijou, as he descends into paranoia and a persecution complex after witnessing the third case in a series of murders, as he becomes increasingly convinced the murderer is out to get him specifically, and he keeps meeting girls that make him feel like maybe things will be okay only for them to also be just as ridiculous as him.

it's great. you can choose how much and how he hallucinates, where you can go "hm maybe i DO want something nice to happen" only for the 'positive' delusion to be the most uncomfortable scene i've ever witnessed in a game, leading me to pick the gore and death negative delusions for two chapters straight.

10/10 incredible game

oh yeahhhhhh sweet sweet desperation my beloved

some older writing under the cut! be warned tho: it’s a nightmare scene and also there are mentions of blood where there should be no blood. Also if it sounds off that’s my b I cut off the beginning coz i didn’t want to make it too long.

mkay bye have fun <3

She decided that it was best to just sit against the wall and wait for a while—she had started running out of breath. 'Very strange.' She knew she wasn't the greatest athlete in the realm, but she really thought she had more stamina than that. 

‘Godsdamned hallway with damned uneven flooring and damned sounds and—’

A bloodcurdling scream jolted the huntress out of her thoughts. Her body erupted with the aches of bruising and the stings of cuts. She doubled over with…pain? Strange, she wasn’t injured before…

Once she recovered, the scream sounded again, masculine and terrified so agonized it made Kaiden shiver. She was still in pain herself, but she was overcome with a need to run towards that scream.

So she did, as best she could, trading balance for speed. She fell multiple times, but that need made her pick herself back up and keep going.

She ran, so fast despite that pain, until she noticed a small dingy table in an equally dingy room ahead of her. She slowed, confused again, snagged the previously blank piece of paper, and froze.

RUN was scrawled on it in messy print, and Kaiden felt sick to her stomach. The violet blood staining the edges of the paper added onto the nausea and she had to truly pause for a bit, hands on her knees, heaving shaky breaths.

When she looked up she realized the room—and the hallway’s beginning—were covered in the strange blood. She, however, was covered in thick gold liquid. Her blood.

The huntress bolted again down the now-familiar hallway, heedless of the rocks jutting out of the ground making her trip, heedless of the pain shooting through every nerve, heedless of her somehow arriving back at the room again and again and again. All she heard was the scream. All she cared about was the scream, the person behind such a bone-chilling sound.

Her heart ached, everything ached.

She started slowing down, mind still racing. ‘I can’t stop—I need to get to him NOW he was going to die and it’d all be my fault— when did I start bleeding and why does it HURT!?’

Finally, finally, the huntress reached the end of the hallway. The screams were deafening now. Her heart wrenched in her chest, she was barely standing from the pain, but she made it, ‘finally…

‘I can help him, I’ll get him out and we’ll never be in danger like this again, and—‘

Something grabbed Kaiden’s wrist. Then around her waist. She tried thrashing out of this thing’s grip but they were strong, too strong for her to handle, she was so tired, and there was too much p a i n.

“But I can’t stop he’s right there please I can help let me HELP PLEASE—”

“FELI—!” Kaiden was cut off by strong arms around her, holding her back, preventing her from moving any further. She was in her nightclothes, the head covering she wore to sleep had nearly fallen off, and she wasn’t bleeding or aching anymore. She still felt like she had run for hours.

———

sheesh Kai keep it down some of us need our sleep 🙄

Xena’s Share Day

it seems that i’ve got a theme of feelings here. so give me another feeling today: desperation. let us see a moment when a character was utterly desperate - for anything or anyone.

Thinking about an AU I have and whether or not I should use the Vargas Bro Dynamic from Canon or from my own Fanfic series, because they do differ... But if I go with other Italian OCs from my Fanfic AND my parents for them instead of Grandpa Rome, I might as well stick to that dynamic.
