Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart.

We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Es ist wieder einmal was los am Himmel.

[rui-drawsbox]

remembering the most memorable mc's (with canon appearences) from the otomes i played

all of them are phone games btw. and looong rambling about the games after the cut!

Mystic messenger has been in my radar since i was in elementary school but i played it for the first time after the spanish traslation came out (2017 i think?) Seven shaped my type in such a specific way that im not really sure why loved him so much (it was the whole "he loves you in every route" stuff). I like a lot the default mc, most of the fandom did and that was enough to won me over

Rosa is top tier protagonist tbh, Tears of Themis has really good story and characters (as far i played, not a lot but i enjoyed it) The reason i'm not that much of a fan is bc the game is expensive asf and not very free to play friendly. You're either lucky or have a big wallet with the gacha

i miss my wife man(Marius)

Ephemeral has to be one of the best free to play otomes i've played tbh (if my memories aren't tricking me, it's been years) Good artwork, good storyline, good characters and as far i remember you can unlock one chapter of the character route per day (mabye two days, idk) and the mc's background has an important role in every route (she's a zombie! she's pretty now but eventually will fall apart, aaaaand her story gets expanded in one of the routes!) ((shes also adorable)) There's also a sequel, if you wanted more of the boys! never finished it but i'd recommend it

Honorable mentions! Huellitas Mágicas is a great game! has a really good cast with well fleshed arcs for all the characters, even the scondary ones! The game shines more for the development of *all* the characters rather than just the protagonist/ml. The main theme is overcoming insecurities! Each love interest has a different way of helping our (very insecure) protagonist and helping different characters with their own struggles :DD

10/10 i recommend this game if you want something cute and can be finished in a few hours, if i remember right. It also has a sequel! with like- 12 new love interests, also never finished it bc i didnt found a guide that worked for me but ñek

A3! is my canon event as a gacha player. Discovered the english/global server, tried it and got bored, left it for a few months, tried it again and fell in love, noticed the game was going to shut down bc low sales -HAHA :(-. This is not a otome btw, this is here bc Izumi has to be one of my favorite protagonists in gacha games ever

last but not least! Obey me! Shall we date? oh dear, what have they done to you :(. The original had intense powercreep to force you to pull cards -multiple times bc that makes them stronger- and even now, the company showed a lot of favoritism to some characters, leaving others to dust bc they don't make the same money. Not to say, they released a new game with the same cast and new main story (ignoring all what happend before). And let me say: THEY LITERALLY WANTED TO KILL THE ORIGINAL GAME.

Nightbringer might be a decent game but i don't trust the devs anymore, i still remember what happend with Asmo's birthday right after the release, and honestly i don't want to sit there watching how they disrespect my favorite characters again and again and again. Loved the characters hated the devs. 5/10 you can play it if you want but i don't recommend spending money on it, it's not worth it, just search #obey me here in tumblr and enjoy the amazing fanworks that i can assure you have a lot more love than the game itself

i miss my wife man (mammon and levi)

Nick & Jess by Ghostcat

At last the time has come for Baby Steps Bindery to make its inaugural post!

It's only been three months or whatever😂

But anyway! Now that the author copy safely arrived, I'd like to finally show off the first fanfiction I've ever bound, which I'm so honoured to have been written by my dear friend and the insanely talented writer, @ghostcat3000

Design and art by me. To make the dust jacket, I printed it on 200 gsm uncoated A3 paper at OfficeWorks (an Aussie office supplies store), which I then cut to size using a metal ruler, cutting mat, and utility knife.

But what lay beneath the dust jacket?! all of my mistakes WELL HERE IT IS:

So bright, so yellow, so perfectly New Girl! I’m quite happy with how it all turned out. But none of this would’ve been possible were it not for the gentleness and patience of my dear friend and master bookbinder, @catja ❤️. Thank you so much for guiding me through, I couldn’t have done it without you🥹🫶💖💖💖

Tagging @renegadeguild! Thank you for all that you do🙏💖

[archeolatry]

Go take a look at this beautiful trove of old SparkSound magazines someone is selling on eBay. For the price they might as well be made out of gold, but the seller's been nice enough to take big, largely readable photos of so many of the issues. Is there a similar digital hoard of scanned versions? I'd love to see more! (I've seen photo pages in full but only snippets of the rest.) The absolute like... raw, sloppy, fanzine chaos of these as as official publications from a major label band is blowing my fucking mind, even if it is just for the fan club. It's literally their mom cutting and pasting and cramming mentions from both Melody Maker and TV Guide onto an A3 sheet of paper, layouts be damned. The apostrophe on her typewriter is broken for a couple issues but she carries on with an asterisk. She's also around 60 by this point and banging this out to an audience of hundreds or thousands like it's a local Kiwanis club newsletter. But she's doing it with gusto, by gum, and it's punk as hell. The best thing about it is that the lack of style is made up for by the absolute top-tier access to the band, and her being surprisingly on top of pertinent details.

For those of you who weren't in a fandom before the internet, those behind-the-scenes photos were like your favorite band's proof of life. There was no Instagram or Twitter, or anything that proved they existed between national TV appearances and touring in your area (besides those mentions in Melody Maker anyway). If you were lucky, your fandom had the capacity to trade videotapes and people in Scranton could see local TV appearances in Los Angeles and vice-versa. If you were really lucky they weren't all copies of copies with potato quality sound and video. Likewise, if you wanted the 12" extended European dance mix of a song with a B-side unavailable in the US, you had to either special order it somewhere and pay through the nose, hope it was in the imports section of a record store (and still pay through the nose), or you had to trade cassettes or burned CDs and hope the other person didn't flake on you. The fact that she's saying "Don't go running to the import section yet, the single will be out on ____ record label on this date with this track listing" is WAY more info than we usually got from our official sources. All "Mary Martin" needed to do for exclusive content was take pictures of her sons on vacation. On one page she's absolutely dunking on Russell them in wry cut-and-paste captions and on another she is the perfect hype man, telling people shows at The Greek Theater are gonna sell out so get your tickets early (but hold your horses on travelling- they're working on Japanese dates for September so you may not need to fly to the US). The personal thank-yous! The CARE! *slams fist on table* If any other band had their mom as the head of their fan club it'd be the most contrived shit in the universe, a complete lie, or both. I fucking love these guys.

A3! Miyoshi Kazunari - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Treasure (2/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

*flashback starts*  

Kazunari: Phew… Lovelin and the others at the Dog Circus sure were adorable~. Everyone was just too cute, I keep looking at the pics I took of them on my phone over and over again.

*door opens*

Kazunari: Ah, welcome back, Tax! Are you back from a run?  

Tasuku: Yeah. I was running along the riverbank.  

Kazunari: You go on both a morning run and an evening run… your self-discipline is no joke~.  

Tasuku: Well, I enjoy running after all. …  

Kazunari: Hm? What’s up?  

Tasuku: …Are those pictures from the circus? That reminds me that I actually watched the dog circus the other day.  

Kazunari: Huh? Hold on, are you talking about the same dog circus I appeared in?  

Tasuku: Are there any others?  

Kazunari: HUHH!? You came to watch! You should’ve shot me a line if that’s the case~!  

Tasuku: Sorry about that. I was going to tell you but missed the chance to.  

Kazunari: Sooo, how was it?  

Tasuku: Well… it was fun, plain and simple.  

Kazunari: I know, right~! It totes raises your sprits right up! Ah, and me? How ‘bout me?  

Tasuku: You worked hard, didn’t you? The crowd was riled up when you guys appeared too.  

Kazunari: Woohoo! Tax complimented me ♪  

Tasuku: Also… the dogs were a sight to see. Their skills were impressive with the way they carried the balls so well and jumped so dynamically.  

Kazunari: Ah, right! You’re a dog lover, aren’tcha! Is that why you came~?  

Tasuku: …That’s not the only reason, okay?  

Kazunari: I’ll just leave it at that~. …Ah, that’s right! That reminds me, there’s a spot I wanna go with you, Tax. If you’re down, then let’s go together!  

Tasuku: Huh? A spot you want to visit?  

-pause-  

Dog A: Woof, woof!  

Kazunari: They’re so cute I’m gonna die~! Shiba inu cafes are a fluff-filled heaven! Here, here. Head pats for you~.  

Dog A: Woof!  

Tasuku: They’re brimming with energy…  

Dog B: Arf, arf.  

Dog C: Bark!  

Kazunari: I wanted to try coming here with you since you love dogs~… err, woah! The puppies are all over you, Tax. They’re all gathering at your feet! Give them some pats~!  

Tasuku: Sure thing. …Here, here.  

Dog B: Arf ♪  

Dog C: Woof~.  

Kazunari: The interaction between a big, rugged man and an adorable little doggo totally hits~. Let me snap a pic later!  

Tasuku: No.  

Kazunari: Aww! Buzzkill!  

Dog D: Arf, arf, arf!  

Tasuku: Would you like me to throw this ball? Here goes—.  

Dog D: ARF, ARF!  

Dog B: Woof, woof…!  

Tasuku: Hey, that tickles. Haha. Here. Good boy.  

Kazunari: (Tax is smiling from ear to ear~. What a rare expression we don’t usually get to see!)  

-pause-  

Kazunari: Ha, they were all so cute~. Tax with the dogs was super cute too. It was relaxing and I got to see something great!  

Tasuku: …I’m not a spectacle.  

Kazunari: But you know what they say! Good people are liked by animals! The doggies could totally tell, wouldn’t you say~?  

Tasuku: …I don’t know about that.  

Kazunari: Ahaha. Just take the compliment, will ya~! Ah, look. There’s a merch corner! There’s plushies and mug cups… All of them look cute~!  

Tasuku: I see… they have stationary too?  

Kazunari: —! Hey, lookie here, Tax! Isn’t this t-shirt cute af!?  

Tasuku: …Uh. The dog is cute, but is the shirt cute…?  

Kazunari: It totally is! But it might look pretty funny if you wore this, huh? Why don’t you wear it as your rehearsal shirt?  

Tasuku: No thanks.  

Kazunari: As expected~. Btw, do you still have some time after this, Tax? I won’t take no for an answer!  

Tasuku: What is happening? …Well, I don’t have any particular plans.  

Kazunari: I’ll treat you to a meal as thanks for coming along with me! I found a restaurant that has some tasty-looking chilled ramen~. You like chilled ramen, right?  

Tasuku: I mean, yeah… I’m surprised you remember.  

Kazunaru: That’s because I thought it was cute that you like chilled ramen! I’ll guide, so you drive! Let’s go!  

Tasuku: Good grief...

*flashback ends*  

Kazunari: After that place started serving chilled ramen, we started going there together every now and then~.  

Tasuku: …Right. I guess that was the trigger. On that note, here’s your present.  

Kazunari: Thanks! “On that note” was a weird segway, but okay! Can I open it?  

Tasuku: Yeah.  

Kazunari: I wonder what could be inside~ ♪

*opens*

Kazunari: —EH!? Isn’t this the t-shirt they were selling at the shiba inu café!  

Tasuku: I remembered you liked it. I passed in front of the shiba inu café and they weren’t selling the exact same design… but I found and bought something similar. Like you said back then, you can wear this t-shirt during rehearsals.  

Kazunari: I’m so happy~! Thanksies! I’ll wear it ‘til it gets all worn out!  

Tasuku: Great. I’m glad if you like it. Since we’ve come all the way here, we might as well have some chilled ramen, right?  

Kazunari: Of course!  

Tasuku: It’s your birthday, so I’ll treat you this time.  

Kazunari: Tax is so generous! Yippee!  

Tasuku: Alright, let’s go in.  

Kazunari: Ah! Hold up. You haven’t said happy birthday to me yet, have you!?  

Tasuku: Ah… …Happy birthday, Miyoshi.  

Kazunari: Thanks, Tax~!

Juza: Just got back. I… went out to get some taiyaki. Ya want some too, Sakuya?

Sakuya: Wah, it looks really good!

Sakuya: But didn’t you get it because you wanted to eat it, Juza-kun? Are you sure?

Juza: S’okay, I got it for everyone to eat.

Izumi: He just gave me some to eat too… This taiyaki is filled with red bean paste and really tasty!

Sakuya: Wahh, that sounds so good.

Sakuya: Since you insist, I’ll have some too. Thank you, Juza-kun.

Juza: No problem.

Sakuya: Mhmm…! It really is tasty! The sweetness of the red bean paste is perfect!

Juza: The dough’s real good too.

Izumi: (Sharing delicious taiyaki with the two of them really makes for a great snack time.)

Sakuya: …Ah, right! That reminds me, Juza-kun, Director, I’ve got something I want to ask you.

Juza: What is it?

Izumi: Something wrong?

Sakuya: I’m playing a role in a comedy play for my next guest performance.

Juza: A comedy, huh? Comedy performed by Sakuya… Sounds interestin’.

Izumi: Yeah! It’s pretty unusual for you to do a comedy, so it seems like it’d be something nice for you, Sakuya-kun.

Sakuya: Thank you so much. I’ve been thinking about getting some advice from Summer Troupe to get a better grasp on comedy.

Sakuya: Actually, I’m also supposed to play the role of a bear.

Izumi: You’re supposed to be a bear?

Juza: So you’re playin’ the role of a cute bear?

Sakuya: Uhh, something like that. I’m going to be performing in a bear costume, so I guess I’ll be a cute bear… Maybe?

Juza: Costume, huh? Sounds like somethin’ that’d suit ya, Sakuya.

Sakuya: That’s why I was wondering if I could borrow the bear costume that you wore before, Juza-kun.

Juza: Sure thing, it ain’t really mine, so ya can use it whenever ya want.

Sakuya: Thank you! I still thought I’d get your permission, just in case.

Izumi: But considering that costume fit Juza-kun perfectly, don’t you think it’d be a little big for you, Sakuya-kun?

Sakuya: It’s just for practice, so it’ll be okay, even if it’s a little big!

Izumi: Gotcha.

Choose!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Option 1: Sakuya-kun’s bear seems like it’d be peaceful.

Izumi: A bear played by you sounds like it’d be kind of peaceful, Sakuya-kun.

Sakuya: You think so?

Izumi: Of course, it depends on the scene and the way you act, but I think you can still sort of sense the vibes of the person wearing the costume when it comes to that kind of thing.

Izumi: But since it’s supposed to be a comedy, it made me think that you might be playing the kind of bear you’d want to squish like a stuffed animal.

Sakuya: I’m a little flustered, but… I’m glad you think so. Thank you so much!

Sakuya: I hope I can put on a performance that can give everyone a real sense of peace.

Izumi: (Sakuya-kun seems so enthusiastic about it, I think I’ll go and see his performance too.)

Option 2: There are just some funny things that can only be done in a costume.

Izumi: There are just some funny things that can only be done in a costume.

Sakuya: Yeah! I think it makes comical movements stand out even more.

Juza: Yea. It’s a lil’ harder to see small movements, but they make the big movements stand out a lot more.

Sakuya: Exactly! It seems like the kind of thing where it’d be good to make use of your whole body. I wanna practice while keeping that kinda thing in mind.

Izumi: (Sakuya-kun and Juza-kun always seem so earnest and happy while they talk about theater.)

Izumi: (They really have a positive influence on each other.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: Ah, right. I think that costume might be in the storage room, but it might be in a hard-to-find place.

Izumi: We’ve had to put a lot of stuff in the storage room lately…

Sakuya: I’ll look for it, so don’t worry! I’ll go get it as soon as I can.

Juza: But it might be stacked on top of a shelf or somethin’. Could be buried under somethin’ too, so I’ll come with.

Sakuya: Thank you, Juza-kun! Alright, let’s go to the storage room then.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Juza: Glad we found it right away.

Sakuya: Me too! Alright, now let me just…

*Fabric rustles*

Sakuya: How does it look…? Do I have it on properly?

Juza: It’s pretty big. ‘N the head’s kinda tilted too, but… Is the weight ‘n visibility okay?

Sakuya: The head is a little heavy, but… I think it’ll be okay.

Juza: Gotcha. But don’t push yourself, ‘kay?

Sakuya: Yeah, I’ll be careful.

Sakuya: That reminds me, it might be a bear costume this time, but other animal costumes are really cute too.

Juza: Ya think so…?

Sakuya: Alright, I wanna take the costume to my room, but I think I’ll get used to walking in it first.

Juza: Gotcha. You’re not gonna have a real feel for it right off the bat, so watch your step.

· ❀ —– ٠ ❀ ٠ —– ❀ ·

Sakuya: Alright… Uwhoa…! Sorry I had to ask you to help, Juza-kun.

Juza: It ain’t a problem. Aight, does your bear role got any lines on stage or somethin’?

Sakuya: No, I don’t have any lines, I’ve just gotta ad-lib. That’s why I wanna practice even more than usual.

Sakuya: Right! Since you’re like the veteran of this bear costume, do you have any advice for me, Juza-kun?

Juza: Advice…

Juza: Right… They say beaarrr.

Sakuya: Huh, really? I never knew they said beaarrr! Thanks so much, Juza-kun! I’m glad you told me that!

Sakuya: Alright, I’ll give it a shot. …Beaarrr!

Sakuya: Umm, how was that?

Juza: Bears are big ‘n strong. So maybe ya could be a lil’ more majestic in the way ya say it ‘n in the way ya move or somethin’.

Sakuya: I see! Okay, I’ll give it another shot then!

Sakuya: Beaarrr~!!

Juza: Yea, I think there was more power in that one than before.

Tenma: …

Tenma: Juza-san and by the sound of your voice, I’m guessing… Sakuya? The hell are you two doing…?

Sakuya: Ah, Tenma-kun! Actually, for my upcoming guest performance…

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Tenma: Got it… Wait, that costume… Isn’t that one of the ones Autumn Troupe had put away in the storage room?

Tenma: The hem is too long, so you look more like a bear cub when you wear it, Sakuya.

Sakuya: Ahaha, it is kinda big, isn’t it? But it’s still good practice to get a feel for what it’s like to wear a costume like this.

Tenma: I getcha. Good luck with your next guest performance. I’ll come to see it too if I’ve got time

Sakuya: Thanks! I’ll do my best!

*Tenma walks away*

Sakuya: Alright, one more time… Beaarrr--!!

Tenma: …Not like there’s something really happening or anything, but I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakuya: Hmm, I learned a lot from Juza-kun, but it’s still kinda hard to play a bear…

Sakuya: I feel like I don’t seem strong enough…

Citron: If it is okay for you to ad-lib, I think it is okay to be a Sakuya-like bear. There are bears like that too!

Sakuya: Yeah, I guess you’re right. I’ll try my best to play a me-like bear!

Sakuya: … Yawn…

Citron: Sakuya, are you getting sleepy from all of your costume practice? We can talk about it tomorrow. Today, it is time to go night-night.

Sakuya: Right. Thank you for your advice, Citron-san. Okay, goodnight.

Citron: Goodest of nights, Sakuya.

Sakuya: UWHOA!?

Sakuya: What? … Huh… Juza-kun?

Bear: !

Sakuya: You’re Juza-kun, right?

Bear: …

Sakuya: Ehehe, I knew it. Ah, maybe you’re here to give me some guidance with my acting?

Bear: …?

Sakuya: I knew it! Thanks!

Sakuya: Ah, right. Since I don’t know much about this forest, could you tell me more about it? Why don’t we take a walk together?

Bear: …Sure.

Sakuya: There’s a river running through here. And there are so many flowers blooming too. This really is a lovely forest.

Bear: …Yea.

Rabbit: …

Sakuya: Ah.

Bear: ! The hell are you doin’ here…?

Rabbit: Hah? The hell are YOU doin’ here? This is my turf.

Bear: This place belongs to no one.

Rabbit: HAGH!? …Huh? Ain’t that a human?

Sakuya: Umm, Banri-kun, right?

Rabbit: …

Sakuya: (I didn’t get an answer from Juza-kun earlier either… Are they not allowed to answer to their names?)

Rabbit: Whatever, I don’t give a shit about humans, so get the hell outta here.

Bear: Shut up, YOU get the hell outta here.

Rabbit: The fuck!? Who the hell do you think you are!?

Sakuya: Whoa, whoa, don’t fight, guys…!

Tanuki: Ah! They’re fighting again!

Squirrel: Ugh, not again. Y’all never learn, do ya?

Wolf: Alright, c’mon, calm down you two.

Lion: Tch, I take my eyes off of you for a second and this is what happens?

Rabbit: It’s his fault for comin’ at me first!

Bear: Pretty sure that you’re the one who came at ME first. Quit tryin’ blame others.

Rabbit: Which one of us is blamin’ the other!? Quit fuckin’ around! You wanna go!?

Bear: Come at me.

Sakuya: Oh gosh, w-what do I do…!? C’mon, stop fighting, you two!!

Sakuya: Hah…!

Sakuya: J-Just a dream, huh… Those were the Autumn Troupe animals just now, right…?

Sakuya: Haah… Maybe that was because of my costume practice. …It’s still night, so I guess I should go back to sleep…

Sakuya: …

Sakuya: (I can’t sleep for some reason… I had a dream about a bear, so maybe that means I’m anxious about my bear performance.)

Sakuya: (...Okay. I’ve just gotta go gently and quietly so I don’t wake Citron-san up…)

Sakuya: Alright, there… I might wake someone up if I turn on the lights, so I’ll just go on practicing like this.

Interest Check: Community Choir for Grand Fonic Hymn (Cover)

This project has been on the backburner for a couple of years...... But since I've been sick this week and unable to art properly, I dug this out to continue arranging, and I managed to finish the first draft today!

I'll still be refining it for a bit, but I was wondering if there are other Abyss/Tales fans out there who might be interested to come join me and sing as part of a virtual choir? For those who don't read sheet music, I'll be doing demo tracks so you can learn the parts by listening to them!

It's a 3-part SSA choir arrangement, so I'll be looking for voices that can sing between E3-F4 for the lowest part, A3-C5 for the middle part, and C4-F5 for the highest part. The song is quite slow, with fairly simple rhythms, and the demo tracks will also act as a pronunciation guide. also don't worry if you're not perfectly in tune, there's a magic tool I use sparingly called pitch correction

Leave a reply or pop into my inbox or reblog with a comment if you'd be interested to have a look when the parts are ready!!

"May the father of understanding guide us"⚔️

Fire duo here for me.✨🔥

Tap for better quality (as much as possible 😂 I am still trying to figure this out)

Here is a traditional art piece I started back on May and finished it like a few weeks ago. Took me some time ,cause it might not show but its on A3 paper size.

I am really proud about this one cause it’s also my first time drawing a ship. It was tough but worth it nonetheless.

[sp00kyb4be]

Hi everyone this is my first post and I just wanna know how people are getting clips from A3 and any other show/movie for edits?? Cuz i have so many edit ideas for Rio and Agatha, but no clips and its making me frustrated cuz idk how to get it. So if anyone could help me or guide me or whatever, i would be greatly appreciated😅🙏🏽

also i used to screen record videos off youtube to get the scenes for edits, but haven’t done so recently. i went on there to see if there was any scene packs for A3 back in November but there wasn’t and i just wanna know how people get them😖😭

please help😭😖🙏🏽

intro post!!

hiya, my name is Ace!! you can call me by any pronouns and gendered terms, i really don't mind. this is my main blog and it's quite unorganised, i just put whatever i feel like here. my silly blog for my silly thoughts <3

info undercut!!

tagging system?

most of my original posts have the tag "ace's random thoughts :)"

my art tag is "art by ace :)" though you're probably better off looking at my art blog

my replies are tagged "asks answered by ace :)"

where else can you find me?

on here, my art blog is ace-art-archive and i also run daily-pjsk-npcs

my AO3 is aceandtherpghorrors

my Project Sekai friend ID (EN server) is 389898010173124615

on a bit more of a serious note, here are my boundaries:

anyone can send me asks or DMs!! i will mention that i typically respond quicker to DMs than asks, so if it's particularly urgent, i would recommend DMing

i don't mind being tagged!! i might not always see it, though. i especially love Picrew chains <3

DNI - i don't want you here if you're bigoted in any way, an explicitly sexual blog, or a proshipper (for fellow YTTD fans, that does include people who romanticise S//sh/n)

i am also uncomfortable with those under thirteen interacting with my blog because many of my interests are not suitable for children

i will block if i feel the need to

other info you may want to keep in mind:

UK timezone

i trigger tag with the format "tw [the subject]" this includes when i reblog suggestive jokes ("tw suggestive")

i swear frequently

i have severe coulrophobia, it applies to real and realistically drawn clowns with heavy face paint. if i'm following you, i'd really appreciate if you tag that with "tw clowns" or "tw coulrophobia"

or, with the above, you can also use the tag "ace don't look" instead. i'd also appreciate it a lot if photos of slugs and snails were tagged with that as well, since i have a phobia of them as well

pictures of some of my favourite characters <3
